Chapter 730: I don't believe in Xu Shiji, but I believe in the Holy One
The continuous one-day offensive and defensive battle brought the offensive and defensive battle outside the Sui army camp to an extremely bloody moment, and more than 200,000 allied soldiers took turns to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army camp. The sound of trumpets, drums, arrows off the strings, the whistling of stones, and shouts of killing resounded throughout the field, and the rain of arrows inside and outside the camp was like flying locusts, weaving a network of arrows in the air like a torrential rain.
The high position of the Sui army made it difficult for the allied soldiers to attack, and only the slope about a mile wide in front of the army was easy to attack, making this the main attack point of the allied army.
This section of the camp has fallen into a cruel place of slaughter from the beginning, countless ladders have been erected on the two-zhang high wall, the black-pressed coalition soldiers climb on the board wall, and the Sui soldiers have a desperate fight, they use the war knives in their hands to chop, spears to stab, there are constantly soldiers falling from the camp, the protracted war makes it impossible to distinguish whether it is the coalition soldiers or the Sui soldiers.
Below the inner side of the camp wall, Sui crossbowmen fired arrows from the arrow holes, shooting over groups of coalition soldiers who rushed towards them with slamming wood, and when they got closer, pikemen stabbed outward. The protracted fighting had made the corpses of the coalition soldiers outside the wall more than three feet high, almost blocking the arrow holes.
Every time a soldier falls to the ground, someone quickly rises to the top, Zhang Zhenzhou stands on the lookout, indifferently paying attention to the opponent's military formation, as the commander of the three armies, Zhang Zhenzhou, who is in a high place, is naturally the easiest to attract firepower. From time to time, the stray arrows almost slashed against his body, but he didn't even blink his eyes, more than a dozen guards held large shields in front of him, and from time to time arrows were bounced off them.
It was Feng Ang and Meng Haigong, looking at the enemy commander who stood on the lookout like a javelin, although he had a shield to protect, he also had to admire this person's courage.
As time flies, the counterattack on the camp is gradually suppressed, after all, there is such a large space, there are not many people at all, and it also takes time to take over the defense and evacuate the wounded soldiers.
Seeing this, Feng Ang ordered: "Archers, well chariots advance!" The sword and shield men took cover in the rear. ”
The rumbling war drums immediately changed, when the war drums gradually weakened, the main attacker began to move forward, the archers no longer retreated after releasing the arrows, but gave way to a position distance, the archers in the back row followed closely and released the arrows, the arrow rain of the coalition army gradually began to become fierce, and the number of Sui soldiers on the camp began to increase in wounds.
Zhang Zhenzhou was not surprised, and said sharply: "Release!" ”
"Crunch~"
Nearly a hundred catapults shook their long arms, and the overwhelming pieces of rubble were thrown out like a torrential rain, and the fist-sized gravel with a sharp scream, carrying a terrible might, smashed into the coalition army's military formation.
Although these gravels were not as shocking as a boulder, the coalition soldiers were densely crowded, and the fist-sized stones had the power to penetrate the shield under the force of the trebuchet and the inertia of falling from the sky.
The charging coalition soldiers fell in pieces the moment the rubble fell, even the wooden shield that could defend against sharp arrows was shattered in a moment under the impact of the rubble; When the stone hits the person, it immediately becomes a huge blood hole, even if it does not hurt the vital point, it is enough to make a person lose its combat effectiveness, and when the coalition soldiers continue to press, serious injuries and falling to the ground means being trampled into mud by their own soldiers.
"Click"
"Ah~"
The fragile shield was shattered, and the archers and shield-bearers behind the shield were smashed to the ground by the stones, and let out a terrible scream. There was only a wave of rubble rain, and the coalition phalanx in front of the battalion was empty, soldiers with stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and even some people even had their internal organs beaten out, and the entire battlefield instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.
"This ......" Not only were the coalition soldiers frightened, but Zhang Zhenzhou was also shocked by this wave of blows.
In the previous offensive and defensive battles, the catapult threw a large boulder, but Yang Tong changed this law, he and Du Fuwei last year in Lujiang Xiang'an County when fighting Li Mi's army, the boulder was changed to gravel, thus achieving brilliant results; Although Zhang Zhenzhou knew this style of fighting, it was also the first time he saw the terrifying lethality generated by the replacement of boulders with gravel, and for a while, there was a brief silence inside and outside the camp.
"Crunch~"
The dull crunch once again broke the momentary silence, and a look of horror flashed across the faces of the allied soldiers, and with a scream, another wave of stone rain came overwhelmingly.
"Run." I don't know who roared angrily, he ignored the sound of the war drums from the rear ordering the advance, and ran away in a frenzied turn.
On a well cart that was used as a lookout, Feng Ang sneered with a somewhat ugly face: "The overseer team stepped forward for me." Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed! ”
"Whoa!" Under the car, a ready overseer roared and mercilessly slaughtered the coalition soldiers who wanted to escape, causing the chaos to be stopped and the Sui army camp was again launched a more violent impact.
"The catapult continues to launch!" Zhang Zhenzhou roared excitedly, the morale of the enemy army for several days was finally suppressed, and the next battle would definitely be much easier.
The strong method of killing deserters by the Overseers has existed since ancient times, but it can only achieve a temporary effect, and if they kill too much, they will be counterattacked, so they will not use the Overseers unless they have to. Now that the coalition has used the Warlords, the next offensive and defensive battles will certainly become more brutal. But as long as the most violent offensive is suppressed, the coalition soldiers can only retreat and regroup to fight again, and the coalition army is made up of a rabble, and when their blood cools, then a sense of fear will begin to appear.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Brother Feng, what's going on right now?" Meng Haigong watched his soldiers under the blows of the catapult wave after wave, the morale of the soldiers continued to decline, and many soldiers were afraid of the prestige of the battle array, although they went forward, but obviously did not work hard, this situation made him very worried.
Feng Ang looked at the tall well cart in front of him and said: "Although the covering blow of the gravel thrown by the catapult is strong, it is extremely slow to reload, and it cannot form a fatal wound on the well cart, which can make the well cart move faster and let the soldiers rest assured that they can release arrows." At the same time, if the lineup of the attacking soldiers is looser, the losses will naturally be much smaller. ”
Now the drums of war are changing again.
The coalition soldiers began to change, and more than thirty well-carts were pushed out.
These well carts are as high as three zhang, which is a lot higher than the camp of the Sui army camp, as soon as this thing comes out, the advantage of the camp wall is suddenly gone, each well cart is carrying twenty archers, more than 50 baggage soldiers under the protection of the shield soldiers, desperately pushing the well and slowly approaching the Sui army camp.
"Crossbow projectile." Zuo Tiancheng, who was in command at the front, issued an order, and a rain of arrows suddenly broke out of the air and poured towards the well car, but it was blocked by the baffle on the well car, and most of the arrows that fell were also blocked by the shield below.
The well cart stopped about fifty paces in front of the camp, and the archers above condescendingly poured arrows at the Sui soldiers on the camp wall.
The army also slowly approached, and groups of allied soldiers, under the protection of their shields, rushed forward with bumping logs, ready to ram the camp wall.
"Projecting the oil."
With Zuo Tiancheng's order, the catapult swept the clay pot filled with fire oil over the heads of the coalition troops, smashing into the crowd and smashing into the well car.
After the clay pot shattered, rockets flew out. Flames rose and smoke erupted, and although the fire was far less lethal than stones, the panic it caused could hit the morale of the coalition forces and disrupt the rhythm of the coalition army's attack on the camp. Every time the flames burst into the sky, the coalition soldiers would flee in all directions shouting and chaotic. There were also six wells that were poured with fire oil, and when the rockets were nailed, the raging fire instantly burned, and soon turned into a large fireball, and the archers on it ran down one after another, and some soldiers who could not find the ladder jumped from above in order to desert, and fell hand and foot, and were soon engulfed by the fire on the ground.
At this time, a coalition soldier rushed up with a crashing log, and with a muffled sound, the camp wall shook violently, followed by a second violent collision, and a corner of the board wall was finally knocked down, forming a gap more than two feet long.
Jiang Shanhe and Feng Zhidai, who were commanding the battle in the front, were overjoyed, glanced at each other, and said loudly: "Give me to kill into the camp, the first one to kill into the camp, the bounty is five hundred taels!" ”
Hundreds of allied soldiers rushed wildly towards the gap with their swords. However, they were greeted not by wide avenues, but by winding paths, each of which could only be passed by two people, and flanked by sharp antlers buried deep in the ground, and when they fell into them, they would be wounded by spikes if they were not careful. Dozens of steps away, there is another camp wall as high as a foot long.
When the coalition soldiers entered, they were able to exercise restraint and keep a certain distance from each other at first, but as more and more soldiers crowded in, the space for them to move became smaller and smaller, and they were stabbed one after another.
At this time, a group of Sui archers appeared on the second camp wall, holding a large crossbow and firing a round at the soldiers of the coalition army.
Although the range of crossbow arrows is not as good as that of bows and arrows, as long as they are within the range, the power is incomparable. As the bolts were fired, the soldiers of the coalition army were planted in pieces, and their lives were harvested by the crossbowmen.
At the same time, the Sui soldiers on both sides of the gap, under the leadership of the two captains, picked up their weapons and slashed indiscriminately, killing the influx of coalition soldiers with flesh and blood, killing hundreds of people in a row, and finally withstanding the first wave of crazy attacks, so the two sides started a bloody battle before the gap, and the Sui soldiers on the camp wall threw down sandbags used to defend against rockets one by one to fill the gap of two zhang wide.
Zhang Zhenzhou, who was on the lookout behind, was very calm, there were still 60,000 soldiers in the barracks who had not moved, as long as the command was appropriate, he could completely rely on the camp to resist the enemy's crazy attack, although the enemy army was twice as large as himself, but the combat effectiveness was far inferior to his own soldiers.
At this time, seeing that the coalition forces in front of the battalion were in a dense state again, he shouted: "The catapult will use gravel instead, and smash it into the enemy troops two hundred paces away." ”
The catapult of the Sui army has three rulers, the arm stops in different rulers, and the range of the stones is also different, pressing to the bottom is 400 steps, the middle is 200 steps, and when it is parked at a high place, it is only a hundred steps.
When the soldiers heard the order, they quickly adjusted the firing distance, and the overwhelming debris was quickly thrown out, and the rubble passed over the heads of the defending defenders and smashed two hundred paces outside the camp.
This area is the densest concentration of enemy forces, tens of thousands of coalition soldiers hold shields to resist arrows, but they can't stop the rain of rubble falling from the air, as the stones fall in the air, the soldiers are smashed to the bones and tendons, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
The allied soldiers outside the camp were suddenly in chaos, turned around and fled, retreating like a tide, without follow-up support, the soldiers who attacked the camp were difficult to maintain, and were quickly annihilated.
Jiang Shanhe and Feng Zhidai shouted and scolded, but they couldn't stop the defeated soldiers, seeing that the enemy's trebuchet attack was fierce, and it was indeed extremely lethal, so they had to turn their horses around and go back to inquire.
Feng Zhidai looked at Feng Ang and Meng Haigong, who were in the well car, and said loudly: "Father, uncle, the enemy's catapult is too sharp, causing us to fall short. ”
Feng Ang and Meng Haigong commanded the overall battle from a high place, and he saw the battle ahead clearly.
Feng Ang looked at the Sui army camp and said coldly: "The Sui army camp is not as strong as imagined. We also smashed the wall with catapults, and then we could rush directly into the enemy camp. ”
Feng Zhidai said: "But our army's catapult has not yet arrived......"
"......" Feng Ang looked at the troops who were under the suppression of the opponent's slingstones and bows and arrows, and the casualties were increasing, and his heart twitched fiercely a few times, and the dark sky, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mingjin collects the troops, let the soldiers rest on the spot, eat dry food, and wait for the catapult to arrive, and attack the camp overnight." An additional army was assigned to return the wounded soldiers to the battalion. ”
"Whoa." Feng Zhidai took the order and left.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
With the crisp sound of gold, the coalition soldiers receded like a tide.
In the Sui army barracks, Zhang Zhenzhou on the lookout wall said to Fang Xuanling beside him: "The first day is over. ”
"As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and then extinction. After today, the next thing is easy. Fang Xuanling took the binoculars to look at the rear of the enemy army, and said with a smile: "It seems that Feng Ang and Meng Haigong plan to make persistent efforts, I am afraid that there will be a hard battle tonight, and the general should be mentally prepared." ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Zhenzhou looked at the enemy soldiers who had not withdrawn, as well as the heavy euphorbia soldiers who covered the retreat of the front army, and sighed: "If it weren't for this heavy armor army, this would be a good time for the cavalry to attack." ”
"It doesn't matter." Fang Xuanling smiled: "Don't forget, we have another cavalry outside." ”
"Although this Xu Shiji is Li Mi's general, does he really have the ability?" Zhang Zhenzhou frowned.
"I don't know if Xu Shiji has the ability or not; But I believe in the Holy. Fang Xuanling said.
Zhang Zhenzhou smiled reassuringly: "That's right, the ability of the saint to know people and use people is unsurpassed." He said that Xu Shiji has the ability, so he must have the ability. ”
"Not bad. I don't believe in Xu Shiji, but I believe in the Holy One. Qin Qiong on the side also smiled.
