Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 386 Di Qing's Exclusive Skill

"Dong dong dong" sounded like the sound of a thunder drum, and the sound of a sobbing and desolate horn sounded.Billowing wolf smoke rose from the sky, and the awe-inspiring aura of killing made people feel chilled.

"kill!"

Shocking shouts of killing resounded outside Yongzhou City.

In an instant, the trebuchet threw stones and slammed them on the city wall with a whistling force, causing heavy casualties to the Xia army on the city wall.There were even more arrows falling like rain, and the offensive was extremely fierce.

"Hold on, if there is anyone who retreats, they will be dealt with by military law!" Now the commander of the southwestern defense line of Xia Kingdom, Deyang Hou Qimo personally took arrows and led a group of soldiers to the city wall to supervise the battle.

The defenders in Yongzhou City were originally the elite of the Wuzhou camp in the past.Because Zimmer ordered the entire army to retreat in time, the soldiers and horses under his command did not suffer much loss at all.

Even the elite soldiers of the Xia Kingdom showed incomparable tenacity when fighting on the city wall. No matter how fierce the attack of the cloud army below the city was, the formation would not be in the slightest disorder.

But at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the cloud army formation.

One is more than ten feet high, even faintly higher than the city wall of Yongzhou City. It is covered with cowhide to prevent arrows from being shot. Cars and other siege equipment, surrounded by countless soldiers from the cloud army, were coming towards Yongzhou City.

On the city wall, soldiers of the Xia army saw such a big battle, even after a long time in the battlefield, they couldn't hide their bewilderment at this time, and panicked:
"what is that?"

Zimmer heard the noise of the soldiers and subconsciously looked under the city wall.

The rushing car and the ladder were surrounded by soldiers from the cloud army.Along with them, there were more than a dozen Jinglan carts. On the top boards, there were hundreds of elite cloud soldiers holding bows and crossbows, overlooking the walls of Yongzhou City, pouring arrows to their heart's content.

In fact, rushing cars, ladders, well railing cars and other things are common, but only the huge monster surrounded by the cloud army in the distance is the most frightening.

The chariot has several floors and is tens of feet high. There are soldiers inside and leather on the outside, and they are pulled by oxen or pushed by people.Because it is at the same height as the city, it can directly rain arrows, climb over the city wall, and fight the enemy.

With just one glance, the officers and soldiers of the Xia army guarding the city were terrified.

Looking at the huge monster that was getting closer and even cast a shadow on the city wall, Zimmer's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it! It's the Lin Chong car of the Mo family..."

The Mohists are proficient in mechanism techniques, which are widely used in many areas of people's livelihood and military affairs.In the army, most of the conquest weapons such as bed crossbows, continuous crossbows, and Jinglan chariots were made by sages of the Mohist dynasties.

The huge monster in front of him is called Linchong Chariot, and it is a war weapon specially built by the Mohists for attacking cities.

Zimmer originally thought that after Di Qing captured Lingzhou by surprise, he did not attack the city for half a month because he was waiting for the army behind to wipe out the Xia army in Yangmingshan.

At this time, when he saw the Linchong Chariot, he realized that the reason why the Yun Army had been delayed for so long was actually to build these siege equipment!
Seeing that the Linchong car was getting closer, Zimmer gritted his teeth and shouted:
"The trebuchet throws kerosene... Order the commander-in-chief's Beisai Jingqi to gather and prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

With an order, Xia Jun in the city threw the fire oil tank with a trebuchet.

With a "snap", the dense fire oil tanks slammed into the surroundings of Yunjun.The rockets fired by Xia Jun's crossbowmen followed and fell on the ground, causing flames to ignite immediately.

The car was covered with iron sheets, and there were fire prevention measures on the side of the well and the car, and even the surface of the ladder was watered, so it was difficult to cause a raging fire for a while.

However, the herds of cattle and horses who were responsible for dragging the chariot on both sides before were afraid of the fire, so they struggled to break free from the reins and turned around, causing chaos in the army formation.

At the same time, Zimmer noticed that the formation of the cloud army was turbulent, so he seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the cavalry to attack.

The closed gate of Yongzhou City suddenly opened wide, Xia Jun's elite and thousands of Beisai elite riders rode out, charging towards the Yun Army.

The spirit of killing and fighting is condensed, and the awe-inspiring momentum attracts a response from the world.

The vision of the wolf with the radiance of the moon all over his body was condensed and appeared at this time, floating above the heads of all the Beisai Jingqi.Then I saw the vision of the wolf raising its head and howling, rushing towards it.

The Beisai fine cavalry army was fierce and swift. Taking advantage of the disordered formation of the cloud army, it seemed like a wolf who had found a flaw in its prey and rushed forward without hesitation.

In the distance of the Yunjun camp, Di Qing saw Xia's cavalry attacking, without panic, immediately shouted in a cold voice:
"Busa Star Array!"

The next moment, the sound of the golden drum in the army was loud, and the flags of the Chinese army were flying on the high platform, passing the military order

The Yun army in front of me is the soldiers of the old Yongzhou battalion, and the elite of Yun Kingdom gathered together.Although the formation was a bit chaotic at this time, after Di Qing's military order was issued, he immediately stabilized the formation under the orders of the front-line generals.

"Busa Star Array!" The frontline army lieutenant general shouted immediately.

The Yun army, which had just re-arranged into a tight formation, immediately dispersed after hearing the order, and a large gap suddenly appeared in the outer front.

Seeing this, a group of Xia army cavalry were overjoyed immediately, and rushed into the cloud army formation without hesitation, as if they wanted to take advantage of the cavalry's charge to divide and encircle the violating cloud army directly!
On the city wall, Zimmer watched the cavalry below the city rushing into the opposite cloud army formation without hindrance, but his face was not happy. Instead, he frowned firmly, and said with some anxiety:
"It's not right, it's not right... Hurry up, Mingjin retreat!"

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard loud shouts from among the cloud army on the opposite side.

"combine!"

In an instant, the array of cloud troops that had been dispersed suddenly gathered together, as if closing their bloody mouth, swallowing the cavalrymen of the Xia army who rushed into it.

Scattering star formations, the military formations are both virtual and real, gathering and dispersing at will, and the number of divisions and combinations changes suddenly.

In the middle army of the Yun army, Di Qing got on his horse, took out a ferocious animal mask, and lightly put it on the iron helmet, covering his clean and handsome face, which did not look threatening.

Immediately, he drew out the treasured sword from his waist, pointed obliquely at the battlefield ahead, and shouted loudly:
"Youzhou Tuqi, kill!"

In a trance, the bloody radiance on Di Qing's mask flashed past, and the ferocious beast sculpture became more ferocious, as if it had come to life. Just a trance glance made people feel chills and lose their courage.

[Martial Arts General Di Qing, activates exclusive skill: Iron Face Cold Light (Attack against the enemy *2, reduce the morale of the enemy by 50%)]

Since taking over Yongzhou Daying, due to various factors, Di Qing rarely has the time to give full play to his talents.His cautious use of troops is not only dissatisfied with his subordinates, but even himself feels aggrieved from time to time.

Today's attack on Yongzhou finally gave him the opportunity to make a full shot.

With an order, the Yun army spread out, and the Youzhou Tuqi behind them rushed out immediately.

"kill!"

The war horse galloped, and the murderous spirit rushed straight into the sky, condensing the vision of the blood-dropping eagle, and the eagle screamed and swooped down.Under the blessing of the vision, Youzhou Tuqi's speed increased again, and the iron hooves stamped on the ground with a roar, like the sound of thunder.

Thousands of Beisai elite cavalry who were besieged by the cloud army saw the besieged cloud army suddenly disperse a road, and before they had time to be happy, they saw Guan Ning's iron cavalry rushing towards them with a vision.

Obviously, this elite rider from the northern border is famous all over the world, and the elite from the northern border, but at this time, facing the sudden rider from Yunguo Youzhou who rushed to kill him, his heart trembled, his fighting spirit dissipated, and he subconsciously gave birth to fear and retreated. meaning.

And at this moment, the sound of Mingjin was heard above Yongzhou City.

Immediately there were soldiers of the Xia army, and they were overjoyed and said:

"It's gold! Withdraw, quickly withdraw!"

"Get out!"

"The army in front becomes the army in the back, rush out of the enemy's formation!"

After retreating for a lifetime, the army's morale was slackened, Xia Jun's originally solid wolf vision, at this time his figure also became vacant, as if it would dissipate in the next moment.

"Rush out, rush out!"

The Beisai Jingqi general kept yelling, subconsciously avoided the oncoming Youzhou Tuqi, chose the weak point of the Yun army's defense, and led his subordinates to rush forward.

This star-spreading formation is an extremely restrained cavalry formation.

In the middle army of the cloud army, the sound of golden drums resounded alternately, and the formation of the cloud army also moved along with the sound of the golden drum.First avoid the sharp edge of Beisai Jingqi, then stop it with the most central heavy armor soldiers, and finally divide and encircle.

With the blessing of Di Qing's skills, the Yun army's combat power has greatly increased.

The Beisai Jingqi has been in the north for a long time. Due to the need to fight the Turks, the entire army is lightly armored cavalry.At this time, surrounded by the cloud army's star array, the morale of the Xia army dissipated, and the robes were scattered in an array, bumping around like headless flies in the cloud army's encirclement.

Yun Jun, who was wearing white armor, fought with Xia Jun, who was still in black armor.Standing on the city wall of Yongzhou City and looking at it, it is like a game of chess with black and white words intertwined and fighting.

Seeing the black "pawns" on the battlefield being surrounded by the cloud army, and the number decreased sharply, Zimmer's face became extremely ugly, and he murmured:
"In the siege team of the Yun army, why are there heavy armored infantry that can resist cavalry..."

Heavy armor soldiers have thick armor and strong defense, but it is slightly difficult to walk and attack.Even people who are proficient in military strategy will definitely not do such a thing as using them to attack the city!
Unless, the other side had expected that the Xia army would send cavalry out of the city for a surprise attack, and deliberately hid the heavy armored soldiers in the siege team...

Thinking of this, the veins on Zimmer's forehead popped up, he slapped the city wall fiercely, gritted his teeth and said:

"This Di Qing, from the beginning to the end, is just to welcome our army to fight and destroy my counterattack force!"

From ancient times to the present, no matter how strong and tall a city is, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will surely fulfill the saying "long-term defense will surely lose".

And if you really want to guard a city for a long time, blocking the guards at the city gate is the worst strategy.Only when the defenders in the city still hold a "fist" that can be swung out at a critical moment, and give the enemy a key blow, can they defend and truly repel the enemy.

As for Di Qing, obviously in order to plot against the army in Zimmer's hands, he hastily dispatched a siege weapon such as a Lin Chong chariot at the beginning of the battle.

At this time, Xia Jun Beisai Jingqi was trapped by Yun Jun.As for Youzhou Tuqi, he was not idle at this time.After rushing out of the battlefield, he rushed towards the open gate of Yongzhou City without saying a word.

Zimmer, who was still a little dazed at first, reacted suddenly at this moment, and immediately shouted:

"Close the city gate... Also, don't stop the catapults when the crossbowmen fire their arrows, attack with all their strength, and keep the Yun army out of the city!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals around him froze for a moment, and looked out of the city with some unbearable pain.

They all knew that with this order, Xia Jun who attacked outside the city would be completely sent to a dead end.

But at this time, looking at the Youzhou Tuqi who were rushing towards them and seemed to want to break through the city in one fell swoop, the generals knew that this was not the time to hesitate at all, so they immediately clasped their fists.

The next moment, the city gate was closed.On the city wall, there were more arrows shooting and stones flying, all attacking the battlefield ahead, regardless of the Xia army who was still fighting there.

Di Qing looked at the gate of Yongzhou City that was slowly closing in front of him, and the Youzhou Tuqi who could not quickly enter the city for a while. He shook his head regretfully, and said in a deep voice:
"This Zimmer, after all, is a resolute and ruthless person who was killed in the northern border, and he didn't hesitate... Forget it, Ming Jin retreats!"

Hearing the words, the subordinate generals also knew that Yongzhou City could not be breached in one fell swoop at this time.But looking at the battlefield full of fighting sounds in front of him, he still couldn't help but say:

"The Xia army's elite cavalry has been surrounded by our army. It is time to annihilate them all and eliminate the threat!"

Di Qing heard the words, but there was a little deep meaning in his eyes, and he said coldly:
"Annihilate them all here. They are loyal and brave men who died for Xia Guo. But if they are put back...they are a group of loyal, brave and tragic men who fought for the country but were abandoned by the coach at a critical moment."

A group of soldiers who were full of loyalty, bravery and passion but were ruthlessly abandoned by the coach, full of anger and tragedy in their hearts, were like a pile of haystacks that could be ignited by a spark.

Maybe, the raging fire they ignited could ignite Yongzhou City, and even the entire southwest of Xia Kingdom...

Moreover, even if the fire is not lit, it can still play a role in attacking the hearts of the defenders of Yongzhou City!

Soldiers in the army are also human beings, with emotions and desires, and their own thoughts.

These Beisai Jingqi who have been abandoned once, dare to serve them to death in the future?Even the generals of the Xia army in Yongzhou city, after knowing what Zimmer did today, would they dare to fight bravely?
The sound of "clang" resounded across the battlefield.

On the walls of Yongzhou City, under the intensive attack of arrows and stones, whether it was a group of siege soldiers and horses of the Yun army acting as bait, or the Youzhou Tuqi, when they heard the sound of Mingjin, they all gave up the offensive , retreating slowly.

But in a short time, on the battlefield, there were only a few scattered people left behind, who were full of joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

And just when all the Beisai Jingqi were very grateful for the sudden retreat of the Yun army, they heard the sound of flesh and blood piercing through "噗嗤".

A Beisai Jingqi stared blankly at the arrow piercing his chest, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the wall of Yongzhou City behind him.Before all the joy of the rest of his life dissipated on his face, his eyes darkened, his vitality was cut off, and he fell off the horse with a "plop".

A group of Beisai Jingqi who were still rejoicing for the rest of their lives just now suddenly reacted.

Looking at Yongzhou City, where the city gate was closed behind him and there were still sporadic arrows shooting out, although all the soldiers were silent and did not speak, all of them had heaving chests, their faces were flushed, and there seemed to be a hot flame burning in their hearts. ...

　Well, I was dragged to a temporary shift today, and I will have two days off tomorrow...
