Li Minfeng dispatched troops and sent an advance army to test the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If the Tang army was strong in combat and relied on the city to firmly gain the upper hand, how could he let the army under his tent die in vain.

The infantry and cavalry in front of them came out one after another, marching in formation on the vast plain north of Youzhou.

First of all, the shield soldiers hold shields in front, and they are closely connected, forming a tight wall to ensure that the rain of arrows is difficult to threaten.

The archers chased after the shield soldiers, relying on the shields in front of them and the shields in their hands to form protection, and slowly lined up and marched forward in order.

Set up a ladder infantry in the rear, shuttle between the archers, set up a long ladder, and move forward quickly.

On the periphery were cavalry, who shuttled through the vast plains, his horses moving back and forth, drawing his longbow, and taking the lead in attacking.

Behind the cavalry, a hundred cavalrymen dismounted, pushed two heavy crash cars, moved through the snow, and headed for the north gate.

At the head of the city, Ye Qinghu watched the infantry and cavalry array, marching forward in an orderly manner, preparing to attack the city.

His heart jumped, his expression condensed, and his eyes stared at the approaching troops on the ground, and he couldn't help but worry.

Before touching the infantry cavalry in front of him, just by the opponent's neat battle formation, it can be guessed that this infantry cavalry coalition army is all well-trained veterans.

Ye Qinghu didn't dare to be careless, his sword cut through the sky, pointed forward, and shouted to the defenders: "Wang Dutong, Guo Dutong, remind the whole army, prepare to release arrows and shoot all the enemies who come to attack." ”

"Yes!" Both of them are holding fists.

Quickly turned around neatly, Wang Dutong and Guo Dutong went to the left and right of the city respectively, and shouted: "Ye Zhonglang has an order, shoot all the enemies who come to attack." ”

Boom!

Boom!

.......

Hearing the news, the defenders hurriedly released the bowstring, the string sounded, and the sky was full of arrows, shuttling through the sky, wrapped in snowflakes, covering the sky, and rushing towards the city.

The first time he fought with the alien infantry cavalry, Ye Qinghu was extremely nervous, so in the first battle, he hoped to rely on the city to firmly occupy the advantage and severely defeat the enemy's spirit.

A dense rain of arrows struck from the air, and among the advancing infantry, suddenly, a cold shout broke out: "Formation, block!" ”

The infantry stopped moving, raised their shields, and quickly approached, forming a half-foot iron wall in the blink of an eye, and shield soldiers and archers hid in the rear to avoid the rain of incoming arrows.

For a moment, there was a clicking sound in front of the shield, and each time the sound sounded, the shield vibrate, and it seemed that many long arrows were blocked by the shield.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, and there are also unlucky infantrymen, who were shot by long arrows through the gaps, and the injuries were light or severe, and Yin Hong's blood, like flower petals, dripped into the snow.

Waves of arrows were stopped, and shield soldiers and archers stood up, raised their shields, and formed a defense overhead.

At this time, the defense formed by the infantry, like the huge shell of a turtle, marched forward in the snow, steadily protecting the shield soldiers, archers, and infantry who set up ladders, and rushed towards Youzhou.

Poof!

Poof!

.......

In the process of moving forward, occasionally a rain of arrows hit the infantry, chest, thighs, and abdomen, and they often fell to the ground without warning.

The infantry in the rear was replenished non-stop to ensure that the troops moved forward steadily.

"These bastards!" At the head of the city, Ye Qinghu witnessed the actions of the infantry, and with strict protection, he spent very few casualties, and was not afraid of life and death.

In this way, the army under the city quickly approached the city wall, erected a ladder and stormed.

Thinking of the problem he was about to face, Ye Qinghu was terrified and shouted: "Wang Dutong, Guo Dutong, prepare to roll wood and stones to prevent the enemy from approaching." ”

The Tang army moved mechanically, taking arrows, drawing bows, archery, releasing arrows, simple steps, and repeated actions.

Three waves of archers, cross-firing, without delay.

However, with the protection of the enemy's shield array, the effect of the rain of arrows is greatly reduced.

In addition, the northern cavalry hurriedly moved, and in the middle of the march, drew the bow and shot, covering the besieging infantry in front, and the Tang army was in a bad situation.

In the city wall, there are often Tang soldiers who are wounded by arrows and fall to the snow, and the warm blood melts the snowflakes.

Hearing the news, Guo Dutong and Wang Dutong did not dare to relax, and hurriedly conveyed the military order.

The defenders on all sides, acting quickly, picked up the rolling wood and stones prepared before the battle, threw them down from the city, and smashed them on the shields.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Every time the rolling wood and rocks fell, the defense formed by the infantry would create a huge pit, and the soldiers would be injured or killed.

However, this attack was not much of a threat to the fast-moving infantry, and the ground infantry reached the city.

They removed their shields, set up ladders at the head of the city, grasped them in their hands, climbed ladders, and crawled quickly.

On more than ten ladders, the infantry marched hand in hand, scrambling to be the first, as if they were afraid of falling behind.

I have to say that compared with the Flying Cavalry Army and Zuo Qianniuwei, the Silla infantry, Khitan cavalry, combat effectiveness, and will to fight are superior.

"Ye Zhonglang, the enemy is about to go up the city wall, what should I do?" It was difficult to combat the arrogance of the enemy army, and Guo Dutong witnessed the battle situation under the city wall, and hurriedly ran to report to Ye Qinghu.

Ye Qinghu also saw the next scene on the city wall, he was also anxious in his heart, and asked anxiously: "General Li, why don't you see reinforcements, don't be verbose, shoot quickly, and never let the enemy army climb the city wall." ”

Relying on the city, condescending, it is not possible to stop the enemy army, if the enemy army climbs the city wall, the battle will get worse and worse, whether the defenders can stop it, Ye Qinghu does not dare to guarantee.

When they heard this, they turned and left, and ordered the defenders under their tents to draw their bows and shoot.

The rain of arrows fell in a hurry, and the enemy suffered casualties from time to time, screaming and wailing, and fell from the ladder.

Unfortunately, even if there were casualties, he was still not slow to climb the ladder, holding his shield high for cover, and moving forward without hesitation.

The enemy attack was fierce, Ye Qinghu was like an ant in a hot pot, put away his sword, grabbed the iron-tired bow, and shot to block.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Tang army was in crisis, Li Minfeng, and Amusu were in a very good mood, no longer hesitated, and in the midst of the explosion, they drew their knives and led the rear to attack the city.

Before the battle, they feared that the Tang army would rely on the city to stubbornly resist and defeat the coalition army.

The advance army attacked the city, which made the Tang army wilt, beyond their expectations.

They are ready to seize the fighter plane, attack the city with the whole army, and strive for a quick victory to capture Youzhou City.

Two shouts full of killing caused a commotion among the coalition forces, the neighing of war horses, the sound of soldiers, and the coalition troops in the rear, like a tide, swarmed up.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Khitan cavalry, Silla infantry, draw bows and shoot arrows, and build ladders.

At this time, Youzhou City was like fatty and fresh meat in their eyes, and they could easily eat it by simply waving a knife to divide it.

Therefore, the cold weather can't hide the burning blood in their bodies.

On the city wall, Ye Qinghu was covered in cold sweat, and no matter how fast the arrow in his hand was, it was difficult to kill the swarming coalition army.

When the coalition army was like a wild wave, spreading overwhelmingly, Ye Qinghu snorted coldly to the defenders around him: "Hurry up and go to the city tower to find General Li and ask him to send troops to defend against the enemy." ”

Ye Qinghu was puzzled, Li Xuanji obviously knew that the coalition army was coming, why did he lead troops to resist the enemy.

However, he knew in his heart that if the reinforcements did not come, Youzhou City would definitely change hands.
