Sweep the World

Chapter 200: : War is a war

"shoot!"

Today is the seventh day that Yao Lan and Yao Jing led the army to arrive. The previous day seemed dull and calm, but the false peace was destined to be broken.

The arrows fired from the city’s head did not appear to be too dense. They were arrows fired by archers standing in a straight line within about two kilometers of the horizontal line. They roared through the air in mid-air and lost most of them. After the kinetic energy falls downward, it is a projectile.

The siege troops looked quite mixed. Not only were they dressed in a variety of styles, they were actually a mixture of Yao Jiajun and Qingzhou Army, with a number of about five thousand.

The siege party who was advancing in the front was holding a wooden-nailed shield. When an arrow shot from the wall, the shield was already lifted. When the arrow fell, there were frequent sound of metal and wood. There was a scream.

The total number of soldiers shooting arrows is 1,400. Each archery is fired by 700 archers. One wave of arrows is followed by the next wave. The pause time of each wave is only about two breaths, forming a concentration. Not high but continuous resistance, each wave can always take the lives of dozens of siege parties, causing more injuries and losing combat power.

About five thousand enemy troops lost about three to four hundred people close to the bottom of the city wall. Because the wall was not angular, the archers needed to stick out their upper bodies to shoot arrows, which would cause unnecessary casualties.

"The archer retreated, and the auxiliary soldiers lost the wood and the rolling stone!"

A large number of auxiliary soldiers rushed up, picked up the thick and long wood and stones and threw them down. After starting to drop the wood and rolling stones, there were frequent and screaming screams from below, which shows how dense the people below are crowded with arrows to avoid the city wall.

After a few dull noises, the siege party erected the wooden ladder, and those dull noises were caused by the hooks of the wooden ladder on the wall and nailed them.

Li Kuang walked quickly to a battlement with his saber and cut off the hook of the wooden ladder after a few chops.

A soldier carried a long push handle to nail the wooden ladder and pushed forward together. The wooden ladder was pushed backwards like that. The siege soldiers who had climbed halfway yelled to loose the wooden ladder and jump. After leaving, the wooden ladder slammed backwards heavily among the crowded crowd, causing endless howls.

Most of the wooden ladders hooked on the battlements were torn down, cheers rang out on the city wall, but the next moment it was covered by a blast of drums. It turned out that there was another enemy approaching, and those newly approaching enemy forces looked like archers.

"Archers, shoot arrows at enemy archers!"

The archers of the city wall stand on a high terrain and naturally have an advantage in range. The offensive side obviously knows this so that they did not invest in the archers at the beginning. They first use their troops to approach the city wall to force the defenders to hold on. Squeezing the space of the archer at the city head, the siege party then sent an archer to cover the shooting.

Looking at the situation above the city wall, the auxiliary soldiers need to throw wood and rolling stones down, which are destined to occupy the position of the battlements. In addition, some melee soldiers need to occupy positions to prevent the enemy from climbing up the siege ladder. There is even less space left for the archer, so it is obvious that the siege party's strategy has succeeded.

Although the defending archers reacted relatively quickly, staying behind the city wall and following the command to shoot arrows, the siege party had already approached the position where they could shoot arrows before.

There was another "Shoot!", but this time it was from the siege party's mouth. Their archery didn't pay attention to continuous shooting, it was purely the whole shooting at the same time, causing a "dark cloud" to rise on the flat ground and pounce on the city.

The stern "shield!" and "dodge" were roared from the mouths of officers at all levels on the city wall.

At the next moment, the archer at the head of the city shot arrows, and the shield soldier who had prepared on the side of the archer raised the shield.

It is the arrow from the siege party that arrived first. Although there has been a reminder in advance, it is impossible for a person with individual consciousness to hear the reminder and everyone can immediately respond. The moment the intensive rain of arrows falls, the person who hits the arrow will appear. Blood Blossom, a muffled grunt appeared first, followed by a scream. Muffled was shot and killed immediately, while screaming was the wounded person shouting out.

The screams, sounds, and the various sounds of arrows staring at the city walls and shields are very dense. The next moment I don’t know who shouted "crack" from the mouth. The shield soldier who protected the archer removed the shield, the archer Shoot arrows at the command sound of "Shoot!"

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Kuang looked up slightly from the arrow stack, and saw the enemy archers below again shooting a dense rain of arrows, and he couldn't help shouting: "Vertical shield!"

Some of the defensive defenders hurriedly shrank, crowding people to hide behind the battlements. Among them were pale-faced people and people with hippie smiles. All sorts of things in the world were on the battlefield where they could lose their lives at any time.

First, a few desolate horns were blown, and then bursts of sour sounds suddenly sounded. Li Kuang turned his head to look. The sound came from a specially raised position with a bed crossbow arranged on it.

There are a lot of facilities similar to those that have been specially raised and covered with skins. They are machines that can be moved with wheels. There are not only crossbows on them, but even stone dump trucks.

The large crossbow arrows fired at high speed cannot be caught with the naked eye at the beginning of the launch. They fly out for a certain distance and lose their initial kinetic energy from the string. They only show up when their speed slows down. They can be seen but also indicate that they are not far away.

Yao Lan and Yao Jing, who stayed about a kilometer away from the city wall, could have relaxed conversations and laughed. They saw that the sent archers were covered and fired by at least 30 bed crossbows. The large crossbow arrows shot in with extremely strong kinetic energy. The pile of people, penetrating at least three or four people, can still "pull up" people and pounce backwards, their expressions froze immediately.

The large crossbow arrows fired by the bed crossbow are so powerful that they can kill at least a hundred in just one volley, which is equivalent to a large bed crossbow with three victories.

For the number of people over two thousand, the loss of one hundred people may not be that much, but that was the killing of a round of bed crossbows, and the person who was shot to death was too miserable and scared to see that scene. People can't help but tremble in their legs.

The noise of the battlefield was suddenly quieter, and then a louder voice was emitted. It was the defenders at the head of the city cheering, and the siege party below was in an uproar.

Li Kuang frowned slightly, and thought, "Just throw the crossbow into the bed so soon?"

Large-scale urban defense equipment is only used in times of emergency, and Li Kuang does not think it is a time of crisis.

This is only a local battlefield, and fighting is also taking place in other directions.

The enemy forces of the Han Dynasty did not only launch an offensive on one wall. They didn't even talk about the three-queue strategy at all. They encircled all the four walls and attacked on all sides at the same time.

Encircling the three ques 1 is an exquisite routine of China Civilization. At the beginning, it left a back path so that the defenders were not desperate to die. At the back, it was to encircle the three ques.

The simplest example is that, even in the face of a weak defender, the offensive side of China Civilization will still encircle the attackers. This is no longer for the defenders to have a fluke mentality, but a rigid copy. What's more, even when defending, it will leave a deliberately weak position. Talk about the "imperfect" routines that are afraid of God's envy, such as the original Xia Mi city has deliberately left weak walls, or the Han Dynasty behind it. superior. This kind of thinking has continued into modern times. For example, in the famous Jiawu naval battle, there were even some artillery shells that were deliberately unfired. (Later, it was changed to be specially loaded with sand in the Kingdom, and Krupp’s shells were loaded with sand. Don’t you know that the ‘case’ in assembly line production is more expensive? The labor costs are more expensive than the gunpowder that should have been loaded!)

Although the Hu people entered the Central Plains, they did not integrate into the Chinese civilization, so they would not follow the routines of the Chinese civilization army.

The war didn't just happen on the wall that Li Kuang was defending. The four walls of Xia Mi were engaged in fighting. It was only the amount of troops invested by both sides.

The new Affiliated Army that was arranged in the sub-city is also facing its own challenge. The new affiliated army’s colonel Wang Pu is still acting as a deputy. The three thousand new-affiliated troops cooperated with a tune of Han soldiers to defend the sub-city, but the main commander was led by Lu To take responsibility.

Liu Zheng was in charge of the main attack on the sub-city. He used a routine similar to that of Yao Jiajun, which was to send some troops to bear the loss and attract the attention of the city. The archers covered the defenders on the city wall.

The sub-city is not a square and straight wall like the main city of Xia Mi. It is a kind of hexa-pointed star-shaped edges and corners. There are no dead corners in this type of city wall. The troops Liu Zheng sent to attract the defenders of the city are They suffered losses and reached under the city wall, but they had no safety under the city wall. The archers at the head of the city were shooting rabbits like rabbits. They happily and without difficulty shot them one after another, causing the attackers below to be just After a quarter of an hour, they collapsed and fled back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The camp, which is the horns, is also under attack. It is different from the other two directions with the city wall as its backing. The war here starts from the beginning. After Wave Arrow, he fell into hand-to-hand combat.

The main city of Xiami, the sub-city, and the Yingzhai are all fighting in three places. It is because the Yao Family Army and the Qingzhou Army have an absolute advantage in bullying the Han tribe with fewer people.

Yao Lan and Yao Jing supervised the attack on the lower secret main city, and after discovering that there was a crossbow at the top of the city, they temporarily withdrew the siege troops, and adopted the strategy of harassing the lower secret main city. Turn his attention to the camp where he is stuck in hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Yan had an indifferent attitude towards Yao Jiajun’s turning the main offensive target to the camp. Lu Yi, who was in the sub-city, found that Yao Jiajun’s main attack target had been replaced by the camp.

After all, the Han tribe does not really have an advantage in numbers. If you count the auxiliary soldiers, the minbi, the servant army, the new attached army, and the slave soldiers, there are 37,000 people from the Han tribe in the lower secret city, and the sub-city is Four thousand people, there are seven thousand people in the camp.

"There are two thousand tribal armed forces in the camp..." Lu Yi thought anxiously: "There are such elites who can hold them, right?" (To be continued.)
