Chapter 4422 On the verge of despair

Chapter 4422 On the verge of despair

Fang Jun understands that no perfect army can exist in any era in this world. The armored cavalry, men and horses are fully armored to the teeth. They can be said to be invulnerable and rock-solid, but the legs of the horses that cannot be wrapped in iron armor are is the only drawback.

I think back then Wanyan Zongbi's five thousand iron pagodas attacked Lin'an from north to south, conquering the city, sweeping across the Yellow River, and finally drinking in the Yangtze River. It can be said that they were invincible and invincible until they met Yue Fei.

The Yue Family Army trained an army specifically to defeat the Iron Buddha Tu. When charging at the Iron Buddha Tu, they slashed the horse's legs with mazha knives, causing the horses to fall and become unable to charge. They were often severely injured when fighting, and thus they attacked the Iron Buddha in one fell swoop. Counterattack in the north and recover rivers and mountains.

Of course, if you want to destroy the Tiefu Tu in this way, you need an army with strict military discipline and sacrifice of life and death. "It is easy to shake a mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue Family Army." How many armies have been comparable to the Yue Family Army in the past and present?

There must be some, but the right guard under Yuchi Gong is definitely not...

Smashing the horse's legs with heavy weapons did pose a great threat to the armored cavalry. For a while, many armored horses fell to the ground wailing. The cavalry on horseback fell to the ground and were immediately cut into pieces by the swarming rebels.

However, the horses move in synergy with each other and have great impact. It is extremely difficult to get close to a war horse and chop off its legs. Often more than ten people come forward and only one or two people can get close. After getting closer, the target is discovered. The war horse was already galloping forward. The war horse in front of him was replaced by another one. Before he could take action, he was kicked away by the hoof of the fast approaching war horse...

After several initial successes at the cost of huge casualties, the rebels did not dare to retreat due to military orders, but they only danced around the armored cavalry and waved their weapons, not daring to move forward. As a result, the armored cavalry continued to move forward like a storm. The charge went straight into the Chinese army where Li Daozong was stationed. For a moment, the horses neighed and the soldiers howled. The Chinese army was smashed into pieces and blood flowed everywhere.

Li Daozong's face was livid, and he roared angrily and ordered: "We must resist and keep the enemy surrounded!"

The army behind him surged forward like a tide, trying to surround the armored cavalry and then gradually encroach.

Fang Jun rushed to the front, his horse spear flying up and down in his hand. He was invincible. He quickly charged in front of Li Daozong's Chinese army and felt tremendous pressure for a moment. He knew that it was almost impossible to penetrate it in one go. He was not a reckless man and knew that if he was greedy, Gong's chances of piercing through the enemy's formation and capturing Zhaode Hall in one fell swoop were too small, so he made an immediate decision, reined in his horse and turned to the left, passing by the rebels before they could reorganize their formation, and galloping away to the east.

Behind him, a thousand armored cavalry followed closely, like a huge sickle passing in front of the rebel formation. Wherever the torrent of steel passed, it brought a rain of blood and broken limbs everywhere. When the whole army charged, As he passed by, there were corpses lying on the pillow on the battlefield.

Yu Chigong's right guard failed to inflict too many casualties on the armored cavalry, and could not even block it. He watched helplessly as the armored cavalry slaughtered wildly and then walked away. Before they could catch their breath, they were charged in formation. The heavily armored infantry pressed forward step by step and suppressed them tightly. They could only continue to retreat to avoid its sharp edge.

Li Daozong also quickly organized his troops to make slight adjustments, intending to move forward and surround the heavy armored infantry with Yu Chigong. However, the school captain came to report that Fang Jun had led the armored cavalry all the way to the east and was about to reach the palace wall. Li Daozong suddenly panicked. For headache.

Zhaode Hall is located to the south of Wude Hall and to the north of Hanlin Academy. On the east side is an imperial garden and some palaces next to the palace wall, separated from the East Palace by a wall.

If Fang Jun charges eastward to the palace wall, and then goes south along the palace wall, he will circle to the east and south sides of Zhaode Hall. The troops there are weak and it will be difficult to stop the advancing charge of the armored cavalry. Jun rushed into the Zhaode Hall, and Jin Wang Li Zhi in the Zhaode Hall could not escape the disaster...

Ignoring the heavily armored infantry surrounding the right garrison, Li Daozong quickly ordered the Chinese army to move eastward, filling the gap between Zhaode Hall and the palace wall, and blocking the southward route of the armored cavalry.

Yuchi Gong was far away and did not yet know the route of the armored cavalry. I thought that Li Daozong would be able to see the current fighting opportunities and lead his troops to surround and suppress the heavy armored infantry with him. Unexpectedly, Li Daozong led his troops to move eastward. However, he had no choice but to do so. I had no choice but to retreat again and again.

The heavily armored infantry did not pursue them, but turned back to the Wudemen area to attack the rebels who were still attacking the city.

……

In Zhaode Hall, Li Zhi looked ugly and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

When the news of the capture of Wudemen came, Li Zhi almost celebrated with everyone in the palace and shouted long live. As long as he had control of the Tang Center, he could immediately announce Li Chengqian's accession to the throne, whether he was dead or alive. In the world, as for whether it will lead to the separation of East and West and frequent civil strife, that is another story.

However, before the joy on his face faded, news came that the reserve team of Youtunwei had come out from Wudemen, which slightly curbed his joy.

But even so, Li Zhi didn't think that a mere three thousand soldiers and horses could stop the enemy and reverse the situation.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged Wude Hall. The defenders were focusing on one thing and the other, retreating steadily. Now there was a huge gap in the last line of defense. No matter how many heads and six arms the right guards had, how could they resist? Even if the reserve team left behind by Fang Jun is fierce and good at fighting, it will not be enough to change fate.

This is the unanimous view of everyone in the palace.

But not long after, the news that he personally led his troops and cavalry to fight almost through the entire position was like a thunderbolt exploding in the hall, making everyone pale in horror and dizzy.

Three thousand people are indeed not many. Compared with the tens of thousands of rebels, they are just a mantis holding a car. However, among these three thousand people, one thousand armored cavalry and two thousand heavy armored infantry are a completely different matter. The armored cavalry The rampage is invincible, and the heavily armored infantry is even more invulnerable and invincible in such a closed area.

In particular, Yuchi Gong and Li Daozong were leading the army to fight outside, and there were no people in the palace who were proficient in military affairs, which made Li Zhi increasingly frightened and panicked.

Listening to the shouts of killing coming from far and near, it seemed that they were just outside the main hall. At that moment, Li Zhi even had the idea of ​​​​exiting Chang'an City quickly...

Fortunately, the shouts of death quickly faded away, allowing him to calm down.

He asked the guard at the door: "How is the fighting outside?"

The imperial guard went out to inquire, and turned back after a moment: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun personally led the armored cavalry to charge into the formation, and continuously rushed through the position of the Duke of E, and penetrated most of the position of the Prince of Jiangxia. It was only one step away from here. However, the king of Jiangxia County fought to the death and forced him back, and now Fang Jun has retreated eastward."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. On the battlefield, it is important to go all out, then fall again, and then exhaust three times. Since Fang Jun failed to penetrate Li Daozong's position this time and had to retreat, as long as there are no major mistakes in the future, he will no longer be able to threaten Zhaode. temple.

Xiao Yu's face on the side was full of worry: "Now Fang Jun is leading troops outside, rushing back and forth but no one can stop him. It is really a big threat, which will make the prince of Jiangxia County and the referendum of the country of E have a dilemma."
< br>

Li Zhi was puzzled and asked: "Why is this?"

Xiao Yu explained: "If Fang Jun is still stationed at Wudemen, we only need to attack by force. No matter whether we can capture it or not, there is no other way, so we can make a desperate effort and fight hard. But now Fang Jun leads a thousand weapons The cavalry showed martial virtue Gate, wandering in the area between Wudemen and Zhaode Hall, coming and going when they want, no one can do anything about him. If you want to continue to concentrate your forces to attack Wude Hall, you must not only beware of Fang Jun's attack on the rear formation, which may cause The morale of the military is unstable, and it is even more important to Preventing him from directly attacking the Zhaode Palace, the Prince of Jiangxia and the Duke of E naturally did not dare to go all out to attack the Wude Palace. But if they could not capture the Wude Palace, what would happen if Fang Jun was surrounded and wiped out? Until now. The fact that the Youtun Guards are still in chaos shows that the Xuanwu Gate has not been lost. This shows that Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman have not captured the Xuanwu Gate. When the army led by the Sixth Army of the East Palace arrives, the two men have no choice but to retreat. "< br>

The implication is that it is impossible to count on foreign aid now. Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman can restrain the troops outside the city from entering the city to reinforce Wude Hall. This is their greatest ability. They hope that they can capture Xuanwu Gate and attack Wude Hall before and after. possible.

If you want to succeed in a battle, you can only count on Yu Chigong and Li Daozong.

Then the paradox appeared. Fang Jun was now wandering outside, which made Wei Chigong and Li Daozong know that Wude Hall's defense force was extremely empty, but they did not dare to go all out.

If Wudedian is not defeated but Fang Jun steals his home, it will be a terrible loss...

Li Zhi was speechless. How could this battle be fought so cowardly? Regardless of victory or defeat, there was never a happy and hearty battle from the beginning to the end. Every time there were all kinds of constraints and restraints, making it impossible for our side to fight with all its strength despite having absolute strength, and finally fell. We are now in a dilemma and a dilemma.

Moreover, Fang Jun was only famous for his military force in the past. His natural strength and bravery were the best among the three armies. Every time he fought, he relied on the sophisticated equipment of his troops to crush the enemy. He fought with great openness and courage, but now he is It seemed that he suddenly had an enlightenment. He no longer had the brave and ruthless style of the past, but instead showed his strategic excellence.

Therefore, Li Zhi regretted more and more. He only regretted that he had not been able to recruit Fang Jun to work for him.

Li Chengqian can sit back and watch Princess Changle and Fang Jun secretly communicate with each other or even add fuel to the flames, so can he! Not only Sister Changle, but also giving Sizi to Fang Jun, what's the harm? As long as Fang Jun can be loyal to his subordinates, there will be no hesitation even if all the sisters are sent out. Anyway, Fang Jun is good for this one.

Having said that, what man can resist such temptation? Ask yourself, Li Zhi also finds it very exciting...

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, threw away all thoughts, and said to the imperial guard: "Go and tell the king of Jiangxia and the Duke of E that I will sit here and not escape. Just let them do whatever they want. If they are killed by the thieves, it will be natural." It’s not destiny, I accept my fate.”

If at this point you are still tied up and unable to go all out, what is the same as surrendering and admitting defeat? Since it is either life or death, you must be willing to take risks and fight hard. Let God decide the success or failure of life and death. (End of chapter)
