Chapter 474: Drill Through!
The two sides fought bloody battles until dawn.
The battlefield under the city has become a Shura field, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.
At this moment, Lin Chen still chose to wait and see.
He knew that if he wanted to fight to decide the outcome, he had to find the best time.
The 40,000 elite soldiers of the Beiwei Army were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, waiting to pierce the heart of the Yuan army at the best moment!
Therefore, Lin Chen was watching and waiting.
The attack and defense of Bianliang had lasted for nearly a month. This ancient capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was already devastated and in a state of decline.
The Yuan army's continuous fierce attacks caused heavy casualties to the Tang army, and there were less than 100,000 soldiers in the city who could fight!
Suddenly.
"It's broken, the city gate is broken!"
Just as the two sides were fighting desperately as always, a thunderous cheer was heard from the Yuan army.
The iron and wood inlaid city gate was ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Yuan army and was forcibly broken open with a huge hole.
This sudden good news boosted the morale of the Yuan army.
However, when the Yuan soldiers broke through the city gate, what they saw made their smiles freeze instantly.
Just look at the back of the city gate, there are layers of stones and soil piled up, which are obviously the defensive fortifications carefully arranged by the Tang army to stop the enemy.
Kublai Khan was not surprised after hearing the news, but was very happy, thinking that the Tang army had reached a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.
He decisively ordered to continue breaking the wall, and at the same time raised his arms and shouted: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow the army will attack, and I want to see the Yuan soldiers take Bianliang with my own eyes!"
His voice echoed over the battlefield, inspiring the Yuan soldiers to move forward bravely.
That night, Kublai Khan also slaughtered cattle and held a banquet, so that the Yuan soldiers who were about to fight to the death could have a full meal and recuperate.
In order to decide the outcome of this battle, Kublai Khan did not hesitate to mobilize most of his troops.
From the top of the Bianliang city wall, there were dense and towering figures outside the wall, rushing straight towards Bianliang.
This spectacular scene is enough to make people with intensive phobia faint on the spot.
But even so, the Tang army in Bianliang City was as solid as a rock and remained unmoved.
"Can't you bear it anymore?" Lin Chen learned about Kublai Khan's deployment, and a gleam of light flashed across his face.
The opportunity he had been waiting for has come!
On the walls of Bianliang, the life-and-death contest has entered a white-hot stage.
Soldiers from both the Tang and Yuan sides are fighting for control of the city walls.
If the Yuan army takes down the city walls, they can easily enter the city.
At that time, even if the Tang army still has the strength to fight, it can only be forced into street fighting.
But in this case, with the number of Yuan troops, the Tang army soldiers are no different from being trapped in a jar.
Wei Qing, the main general, naturally climbed to the top of the city wall.
The spear in his hand danced like a dragon, and with a flash of cold light, he could take the life of a Yuan army.
But even so, the Tang army in the city gradually fell behind.
Until noon, when both sides were exhausted.
Then a long horn sound suddenly echoed from the back of the Yuan army camp.
"Woo! ~"
The horn sound was so distant that it made people feel awe, so that all the soldiers looked back at the same time.
On the horizon, a group of cavalry galloped, their armor gleaming in the sun, and their war horses were also heavily armored, fully armed, and full of momentum.
What was even more eye-catching was that on the flag held by this cavalry, there was a black "Tang" word embroidered!
This is the Tang army!
Kublai Khan saw this and his face suddenly changed, full of disbelief.
Before he surrounded Bianliang, he had properly deployed a part of his troops to take over the prefecture cities in the northwest of Beijing to prevent other Tang troops from going north.
However, at this moment, a cavalry of the Tang army appeared quietly in Bianliang, breaking all the plans.
"Not good!"
A Yuan Dynasty official in the tent shouted in panic.
Now the main force of the Yuan army is attacking Bianliang with all its strength, and the camp is empty. If it is attacked by this cavalry of the Tang army, the consequences will be disastrous.
As they worried, this cavalry of the Tang army has launched a charge.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves shook the surrounding land like an earthquake.
The spreading metal wave rushed straight to the Yuan army camp, as if to destroy all obstacles along the way!
"Khan, I beg you to lead the Qiexue army to stop this Tang army!" A Mongolian general suddenly knelt down and asked for a fight, his voice firm and powerful.
Indeed.
There are still more than 60,000 Qiexue personal soldiers in the Yuan army camp to guard Kublai Khan. These are the elite soldiers of the grassland.
"No need!" Kublai Khan refused coldly: "This battle will be led by me personally!"
When these words came out, everyone noticed the madness flashing in Kublai Khan's eyes.
Kublai Khan actually wanted to lead the Qiexue army to fight against this Tang army? !
Of course, Kublai Khan's name has long been resounding in the battle array.
He is also a veteran general who has fought in the south and the north, and his martial arts are superb. This time he went on the expedition in person, which made the morale of the Qiexue army reach its peak.
And compared with this Tang army, the equipment of the Qiexue soldiers is also excellent.
They wear three layers of iron armor and are difficult to be hurt by arrows. This is precisely due to the heroism of the Northern Song Dynasty and the plunder of the Jin Dynasty.
When the Northern Song Dynasty fell, a large number of iron armors in the arsenal were obtained by the Jin Dynasty, and these iron armors eventually passed into the hands of the Qiexue army.
From a certain perspective, it was the heroism of the Northern Song Dynasty that gave birth to war weapons such as the Iron Pagoda, and also provided strong equipment support for the Qiexue army.
In the past, hundreds of Qiexue troops could often break through tens of thousands of Southern Song troops.
However, now, Qiexue and the elite cavalry named Beiwei finally met.
When the charging cavalry were about to collide, both sides raised their weapons.
For a moment, the sound of metal clashing was deafening.
Blood and limbs splattered everywhere, forming a tragic picture on the battlefield.
In this situation, even the armor on the body could not save life.
If you were knocked off the horse, you would be trampled into meat paste by the horse's hooves in a short time.
At this moment, Tang Wang Lin Chen, wearing a bronze ghost mask, rushed into the enemy camp first.
Wherever he passed, there was no enemy!
This boosted the morale of the Beiwei guards following Lin Chen, and they followed closely and fought bloody battles.
Puff!
Lin Chen waved his spear and easily pierced the armor of a Qiexue soldier in front of him, and then lifted him and his horse over his head and smashed forward!
Boom!
More than ten riders were knocked to the ground.
"Don't be so arrogant!"
It's not that there are no good players on the Yuan army to stop Lin Chen.
The training in the army is different from that of martial artists in the Jianghu. It is mainly to temper the blood.
Just like the Mongolian general in front of him, his momentum is comparable to that of the innate.
It seems that the opponent is still a thousand-man general in the Qiexue Army.
However.
This thousand-man general, who is quite famous for his bravery in the Qiexue Army, was pierced through the neck by Lin Chen in just three rounds, and fell off his horse with a look of shock.
This scene shocked the surrounding Qiexue Army.
At the same time.
Kublai Khan, staring at both sides of the battle, clenched his fists involuntarily.
He was very familiar with the bronze ghost mask worn by Lin Chen.
After all, he was chased and beaten by it during the battle of Dingjiazhou.
What shocked Kublai Khan even more was.
The combat effectiveness displayed by this Han cavalry was really terrifying!
Even the most elite Qiexue in Mongolia could hardly resist its charge!
