- There was tension and solemnity inside and outside Yingzhou City.
Outside the city, at the camp under the new station, eight hundred cavalry were fully armed. The bows and arrows that had just been transported from Yingzhou City were placed beside them.
They are cavalry, but now they are no longer cavalry or archers.
A big flag is placed in the middle so that everyone can see it clearly: the brave and loyal tiger guards!
Not only the officers and soldiers in Yingzhou City saw this big flag, but also the bandits commanded by Zhang Xianzhong who had arrived in Yingzhou also saw it!
?????????????????? Tiger Guard! It's the Tiger Guard again!
On the Xinyang battlefield, three hundred elite cavalry charged into the enemy formation, killing the "rebels" into rivers of blood and littering the fields with corpses. What seemed like a good victory turned into a disastrous defeat in the blink of an eye.
And now, I actually see this big flag here again!
Zhang Xianzhong looked gloomy and said nothing. In fact, at this time, the "Eight Kings" also felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.
Why? Could it be that while he was on the battlefield, there would be opponents he was afraid of?
"Father, I thought there must not be many people on the other side." Li Dingguo suddenly said.
"Why?" Zhang Xianzhong frowned.
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment: "Father, in all prefectures and counties, the garrison will not exceed 3,000. We have been fighting with officers and soldiers for these years, and we already know it. Moreover, Anhui has been without war for a long time, so the defense must be empty. And when we escape from Henan, The officers and soldiers did not notice at all. The Tiger Guards on the opposite side must be light-armed and fast cavalry, rushing all the way for reinforcements. Since they are rushing for reinforcements, they must be mainly cavalry and there will not be many people. Therefore, I thought that we should capture them in one fell swoop before the officers and soldiers arrived. Yingzhou!¡±
"Yes, what my son said makes sense." Zhang Xianzhong loved his adopted son the most: "I felt deeply resentful when Xinyang was defeated that day. Today I can take revenge at the foot of Yingzhou City! Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang!"
"exist!"
"You two each lead 2,000 men and attack from the left and right! You must capture Yingzhou today!"
"yes!"
The Yingzhou offensive and defensive battle broke out!
At this time, there were four thousand bandits outside Yingzhou City. The defenders only had 800 cavalry converted into infantry!
"The first day." Looking at the surging bandits, Ding Yunyi whispered, and then his voice suddenly raised: "Wave the flag!"
A big red flag waved "Hulala". In an instant, the drums, trumpets, and shouts from Yingzhou City Tower were loud and powerful, as if there were thousands of troops hidden in the city.
"Black flag!"
Following Ding Yunyi¡¯s order. A big black flag waved vigorously again. The eight hundred cavalry took a step forward, took out their attack weapons, drew their bows and arrows, and calmly watched the surging thieves.
The black flag suddenly stopped, and the entire battlefield seemed to have stopped.
In the eyes of these eight hundred cavalrymen. There is nothing at this moment, only enemies!
They held up the bows and arrows in their hands, looked at the enemies coldly, and waited coldly for the final order to be issued.
The four thousand bandit army was huge, but the tide of shouting at the city entrance made them a little scared. They didn't know how many officers and soldiers were hiding in Yingzhou. And what makes them afraid. It's another kind of fear brought from Xinyang in my heart: Tiger Guards!
No rogue bandit can forget that three hundred tiger guards killed tens of thousands of "rebels" and their blood dyed the ground of Xinyang red.
Once fear occurs, it is difficult to eliminate it in a short period of time.
But Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s military laws are strict and he will never show mercy when killing people. Those who disobey military orders will have only one outcome: death!
It was also death before. The end is also death, the only option is to give it a try. Or there is still a way to survive.
Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang, one on the left and one on the right. Screaming and urging loudly. An army of four thousand thieves surged forward.
Ding Yunyi moved his hand holding the handle of the knife, and suddenly shouted: "Arrow!"
The black flag that stood straight up fell down with a "hurrah".
The arrows fell like raindrops!
The row of thieves rushing to the front fell down like wheat. Arrows filled the sky, causing chaos to the rebel army's position.
"No retreat! Only advance!"
The voices of the leaders of the thief army at all levels sounded heartbreaking, urging these subordinates to charge forward desperately.
Four thousand people can drown the officers and soldiers on the opposite side!
But what they faced was eight hundred elite cavalry.
Since the advent of rogue bandits, the Central Plains has become a war-torn place. Cao Wenzhao, Ai Wannian, and He Renlong all fight against the rogue bandits all year round, with almost no rest for a day. Their officers and soldiers are also experienced in hundreds of battles, they are fierce and fierce, and they have no fear of the rogue bandits.Fear, extremely rich battlefield experience.
?? If it were officers and soldiers from other places, they might have run away long ago when they were charged by these thousands of thieves. However, these eight hundred cavalry were not surprised. They already knew that the thieves just like to win by relying on numbers. As long as they repel a few attacks, their own momentum will decline first.
Especially these eight hundred cavalry, three hundred cavalry were carefully trained by Hong Chengchou, and the other five hundred cavalry were carefully selected by Hong Chengchou under strict orders.
Although they left their familiar war horses, they were not afraid at all.
A round of arrows was released, followed by another round of arrow rain.
The bandits fell one after another under the arrows. At this time, the soldiers and civilians on the Yingzhou City Tower saw how majestic the army below the city was. They couldn't help but cheer, and the shouts became louder and louder.
The cooperation between the people below and above the city caused the uncontrollable fear in the hearts of the rebels to emerge again.
The third round of arrows was fired, and the bandit soldiers who suffered heavy casualties screamed in horror, turned around and ran away. When they ran in front, their companions behind were affected, and the formation instantly became a mess.
No matter how much Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang cursed and scolded, they could not stop their subordinates from being defeated.
The bandits¡¯ first attack was easily defeated under the ferocious bow and arrow attacks of eight hundred cavalry.
But Ding Yunyi was not relaxed at all. This was just Zhang Xianzhong's first tentative attack. In this attack, one third of the meager bows and arrows provided by Yingzhou had been consumed.
Opposite is Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s camp with tens of thousands of people
?¡
Zhang Xianzhong's face was livid, and he didn't say a word as he looked at his subordinates who were retreating in a hurry and in a state of embarrassment.
"Father" Liu Wenxiu gritted her teeth and walked up.
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and interrupted him: "No need to say more, you have tried your best. Our army first arrived and we didn't know the depth, so we were defeated. I don't believe that Yingzhou hid millions of arrows. Reorganize the team. , attack again after half an hour!¡±
"yes!"
Liu Wenxiu suddenly understood that his adoptive father was going to use the lives of his brothers to consume the other's arrows
?¡
"Cum! Cum!"
There were roars one after another, and rows of feather arrows were shot out fiercely, followed by screams one after another.
On the battlefield in front, countless corpses were already lying on the ground, layer upon layer. However, after a group of thieves died, another group came forward, and they could not kill them all.
Even if tens of thousands of people are lined up for you to kill, they may not be able to kill them all in a few days.
The rebels risked huge casualties and continued to consume the limited arrows in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and this was what Ding Yunyi was most worried about.
Spending countless lives in exchange for a victory is the stupidest approach, but under certain circumstances, it is also the most effective. For example, this is the case under Yingzhou City.
The consumption of arrows was astonishing, and the 800 cavalrymen lost their strength after killing them.
Those bandits who rushed up fell down in large numbers under the attack of arrows. Some were killed on the spot, and some did not die for a while. They rolled around on the ground and screamed miserably.
Some bandit soldiers who were lucky enough not to be shot and killed finally rushed up, but the trap that had been ambushed for a long time became their nightmare again.
The sharp bamboo sticks swallowed up lives one by one in a matter of seconds.
This is a battlefield that the bandits will never forget forever. Here, countless of their companions died, and countless others were maimed. But behind them, there were emotionless urgings from leaders at all levels.
Urging them to charge, urging them to die!
A wave of charges were repelled, but a new charge appeared.
The god of death flickers in and out of sight over the battlefield, ready to take human lives anytime and anywhere.
Even the cheers in Yingzhou City stopped. These soldiers and civilians who were accustomed to living in peace witnessed such horrific killings for the first time.
Is this a war? No, this is a nightmare that people will never forget!
Even after decades, they will suddenly wake up from this nightmare.
Killing someone here is as easy as killing a chicken!
Suddenly, the sound of gongs to withdraw troops came from the bandit army. As if receiving the grace of amnesty, the bandit army retreated like a tide.
Countless corpses just lie quietly on the battlefield opposite, and no one will shed a tear for them.
Several wounded bandits were wailing and dragging their heavy bodies, step by step towards the formation.They were afraid that an arrow would suddenly fly from behind.
But no one cares about them, no matter whether they are alive or dead, no one cares about them.
The eight hundred cavalrymen looked at the struggling wounded soldiers calmly and indifferently, with no anger in their eyes, let alone sympathy. When their roles are reversed, no one will sympathize with them.
This is the battlefield, the most cruel, bloody and terrifying battlefield!
When you die, you are considered dead; when you are alive, it is the virtue that your ancestors have accumulated for themselves.
Ding Yunyi sighed, the first day's battle should be over here. His own losses were slight, and the opponent's casualties were heavy, but Zhang Xianzhong also achieved his goal.
In just the first day of defense, Ding Yunyi consumed almost all the arrows. But in Yingzhou City, the arrows Yin Menglong promised to rush to make have not been transported yet.
Five days, this is just the beginning. The difficulties were beyond imagination, and Zhang Xianzhong's determination to capture Yingzhou was also beyond imagination. The bloody battle has just begun.
Maybe tomorrow, we will have to fight face to face with those thieves after all.
Yingzhou in the city may not be able to count on it for a while. The only elites that can be used now are these 800 cavalry.
This is the only trump card in Ding Yunyi¡¯s hand! ! ~! - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
