Chapter 215: The Difficult War of the Xin'an Army
The war broke out at a moment when no one expected it.
Qin Guan was doing his best to minimize the losses of the people and everyone entered the city to hide.
At first, he regretted leaving Xiong Daxiong Er and the others in the border army, making Xiongzhou extremely empty, but thinking about it, they were there, which was also a supplement to the power of the border.
After arranging the local affairs of Xiongzhou, Qin Guan remembered that Han Shicheng brought more than 20,000 Xin'an troops to block 20,000 Liao cavalry, and there was no chance of winning at all. It was simply hitting a stone with an egg, but he had to admire the other party's courage.
No, I'm going to the front line.
Telling this idea to Xu Tongzong, Xu Qing strongly opposed it, "Sir, although you have the title of Chief Military Supervisor, you are the magistrate of Xiongzhou. It is too dangerous to go to the front line."
Qin Guan shook his head, "Twenty thousand troops invaded, where is Xiongzhou not dangerous?"
Qin Guan put on his armor and took the overlord gun, and rode out of Xiongzhou with a hundred guards. He did not go directly to Xin'an army, but to Baode army camp.
At this time, the Baode Army had received the notice and was ready for combat. However, the Baode Army's main task was to defend the front line of the Xixia Kingdom. Before the order to go up to the peak, they did not dare to send out at will to support the Xin'an army.
As soon as Qin Guan entered the Baode army's camp, Zhao Decheng rushed to greet him. Qin Guan said to Zhao Decheng: "Is it feasible to fight with the Xin'an army to block the enemy?"
Zhao Decheng shook his head and said in embarrassment: "Sir, it's not that Decheng is not a soldier. If we go to support the Xin'an army, the Daxia Kingdom will take the opportunity to invade from this line. The border will not have any defense capabilities. At that time, the Xixia army will be able to advance straight in. I will be responsible for the deaths."
Qin Guan frowned. He knew Zhao Decheng's difficulties. They were not allowed to fight as they wanted. The Ministry of War had strict military deployment and they could not change it at will.
Qin Guan finally said: "Can you lend me thousands of soldiers?"
"How much does an adult want?"
"How many cavalry do you have?" Qin Guan asked.
"Three thousand."
"Give me all your cavalry, add Xiong Er's two thousand cavalry, and make up five thousand. I think it will be of some help to Xin'an Army." Qin Guan said.
Zhao Decheng gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll gather the cavalry now."
Half an hour later, Qin Guan took the lead, Xiong Er and Huang Luanfeng led five thousand cavalry to follow closely.
The cavalry team was fast, and it took only half a day before Qin Guan rushed to Xin'an Army's camp. After seeing Xiong Da, Xiong Da told him that the Xin'an Army organized a line of defense at Chitang Pass, which had blocked the Liao army for one day.
Qin Guan immediately ordered: "Xiong Da, organize 5ooo infantry, and the rest continue to guard the Tuncheng. We go to support the Xin'an army."
Chitang Pass is called Pass, but it is not a Great Wall Pass like Shanhaiguan, Jiayuguan, it is just a place name.
Surrounded by continuous mountains and forests, there is a mountain road in the middle. The State of Zhao built a city gate at the entrance of the valley, which is used as a pass in peacetime and used to block the enemy in wartime.
At this time, a fierce battle was underway for Chitang Pass. The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom carried the ladder, bit the Pu sword in their mouths, and climbed up desperately. The Xin'an army soldiers at the city gate were striving to kill them.
Han Yuqing came to Han Shicheng with a spear and his armor stained with blood and said, "Father, there are too many enemies, and our army has suffered heavy losses, with no less than two thousand people killed or injured. The men are almost unable to withstand it."
Han Shicheng said calmly: "If you can stand up for a while, we have no advantage when we arrive at the plain."
Qu Li sat on the horse, watching his soldiers pounce on the city wall from a distance, and said to the deputy general in a deep voice: "Start the attack rhythm, before sunset, you must take down Chitang Pass."
"yes."
The deputy general was ordered to go. After a while, the Liao Kingdom's attack became even more fierce. Some soldiers were able to rush to the top of the city. The Liao army and the Zhao army launched a fierce battle at the top of the city.
Han Yuqing's silver bell gun danced and pierced into the throat of a Liao soldier who was rushing towards him. He lifted it out. The soldier's body flew out of the city wall and smashed a group of Liao soldiers climbing a ladder, smashing four or five people down.
Suddenly, a powerful Liao warrior as strong as a bear rushed to the top of the city, holding a long-handled sledgehammer in his hand. When he saw Han Yuqing, he roared and rushed forward with a hammer.
The hammer was whistling with the whistling wind, and Han Yuqing held both hands, and with a clang, Han Yuqing was smashed several meters away with his gun.
Han Yuqing's mouth was bleeding and internally injured. He felt that his arms were weighing thousands of pounds and could not be lifted. The bear man rushed towards Han Yuqing again. Two soldiers ran over and stood in front of Han Yuqing. The man waved his hammer and slapped the two soldiers away.
Seeing that the heavy hammer was about to fall in front of him, a spear stretched out next to him and stabbed into the strong man's side rib with a puff. Han Yuqing saw that it was the eldest brother who saved him. Han Cheng used his only remaining arm and held a gun in one hand to stab the spear into the strong man's body.
"ah!"
The strong man roared, and threw the hammer in his hand out, slamming Han Cheng's chest with a bang. Han Cheng flew four or five meters away, and the armor on his chest had been smashed into a big pit after landing.
"Puff, cough cough."
Han Cheng spit out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.
Han Shicheng waved his spear and killed several Liao soldiers. At this moment, with a rumbling sound, the gate of Chitang Pass was broken.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Han Shicheng shouted loudly: "Everyone took off the city and we will push the second line of defense."
A soldier stepped forward to block it for a while, took the Han family and the three men down, stepped on the war horses and took the remaining soldiers, and rode their horses to the open ground.
"The city gate is open."
"Kill!"
The Liao cavalry roared and rushed into Chitang Pass, and behind Chitang Pass was the open plain in Xiongzhou.
On the plain, there is a military formation, which is the "Eight Gate Formation" of Xin'an Army.
The formation is mysterious, but it is actually just a formation of teams during battle. What kind of terrain and what kind of enemy to face, set up effective defense and effectively kill the enemy. This is the military formation.
The three Han family rode into the military formation, and the gaps of the military formation were merged immediately. As soon as they arrived inside, Han Cheng could no longer hold on and fell off the horse. A soldier came over and quickly carried Han Cheng to the back to treat him.
Han Yuqing's face was also pale at this moment. Her arms were seriously injured, and she still couldn't take a gun to kill the enemy.
Looking at the Liao army who was slaughtering over, Han Shicheng looked serious. He knew that Xin'an army might be about to explain it here today.
Infantry vs. cavalry, they have little chance of winning, and they can only defeat the opponent by having the number of people. However, now they only have 20,000 infantry. How can they defeat the Liao Kingdom's 20,000 cavalry, unless the God of War descends to earth.
"Crazy."
The vanguard of the Liao army, chasing the Han family and the son, had arrived, but the number was small but the momentum was fierce.
