Chapter 1135: Night Attack (3)

The soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, who was a combat unit, held their shields to form a shield array, and the shield array slowly moved closer to the wall, and hundreds of shield arrays of the same size crawled like turtles, and when these turtle shell-like shield arrays appeared in the light, they were soon discovered by the big cannibals on the wall.

"Look, the Tang people have touched it!" With a scream, the big food soldiers on the wall stuck out their heads.

Someone immediately confirmed: "It's the Tang people, the Tang people have touched it!" ”

Manhard climbed under the archery hole of the wall, slowly stretched out his head and looked under the wall, his eyes widened, and he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Throw stones, throw stones to kill them!" Stone them to death! ”

When the soldiers on the wall heard this order but did not react, Manhard couldn't help but be furious: "Why don't you throw stones, didn't you hear General Ben's order?" ”

The guard of the wall of the wall cried with a sad face: "Your Excellency General, we built the camp in a hurry, and we didn't have time to collect stones at all, and there were no stones to collect around here, there was loess and yellow sand everywhere, and even the shadow of the stones could not be seen!" ”

The houses in this Oasis of Bam, including the castle, are made of earthen bricks, and there is no stone at all.

"Damn it!" Manhard scolded and immediately roared: "Shoot them with a bow and arrow, shoot them to death!" ”

The big food soldiers on the wall of the wall opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the turtle-like shield array of the Western Qin army under the wall, but they only heard a clanging metal sound, but they heard a miserable scream, and all the arrows shot by the big food soldiers were blocked by the shields, and they did not hurt the Western Qin soldiers at all.

The soldiers of the Western Qin army with shields on their heads still continued to move towards the wall without stopping, getting closer and closer, which made the soldiers of the big food on the wall frightened, although the bow and arrow shooting had no effect, they still kept shooting arrows downward.

Wei Gao rode on horseback and saw it clearly, and ordered his generals: "You can let the second battalion use bows and arrows to counteract, tell the brothers to pay attention to the range, don't shoot at the brothers under the wall!" ”

"Understood!" The general hugged his fists and agreed and beat his horse away.

Soon, the long-range attack of the second battalion began, and waves of arrows landed on or behind the walled wall with great accuracy, and the soldiers of the Great Food Army were shot down many more.

The casualties of the big food soldiers on the wall are getting bigger and bigger, but there is still no way to deal with the Western Qin army that has touched the wall, which can be very bad for the wall guard, he said to Manhard: "Your Excellency General, think of a way, the Western Qin army has touched the wall, they can quickly bring down the wall, and when the time comes, we will be in big trouble!" ”

Manhard was also anxious, if it was daylight, he wouldn't be worried at all, with the protection of the wall, the Western Qin cavalry had no good way to help him for the time being, but at night, the Western Qin army was in the dark, and he and his soldiers were in the open, and the infantry could only be beaten passively, and they were powerless to fight back.

Manhard even heard the soldiers of the Western Qin Army at his feet chopping the wood used to build the wall, these are fences tied with wood, and then a layer of planks is laid on the wooden fence, this is how the wall is made, but if the wooden fence under his feet is cut, the wall will definitely fall.

In a hurry, Manhard gritted his teeth and said: "Now there is no other way but to jump down and fight with the Western Qin army, pass on the order of the general, and immediately mobilize three thousand sword and shield soldiers from the battalion, quickly!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The wall is still shooting arrows down, which is just a psychological comfort, and it does play a role in effectively slowing down the offensive speed of the Western Qin army, but this does not completely prevent the Western Qin army from cutting at the foot of the wall, and some soldiers of the Western Qin army put thick hemp ropes on wooden stakes.

At this moment, the sword and shield soldiers transferred from the battalion rushed to the wall, and one by one they jumped down from the wall and smashed on the shield array, but they failed to break through the defense of the shield array.

"Stand back and form a shield array!" With the shouts of the generals under Wei Gao's command, the shield arrays like small turtle shells quickly hit the distance between the big food soldiers who jumped down, forming a large shield array, the shield array advanced again, and the attacks of the big food soldiers who jumped down were all blocked by the shields, and the shield arrays began to move forward, and the big food soldiers who jumped down one by one were pushed back one after another.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang, and both sides of the war stopped at the same time, and all looked at the source of the sound, only to see that a large distance on the wall was pulled down by a few thick hemp ropes, and hundreds of large food soldiers on the wall fell down and screamed again and again.

When Manhard and all the big eaters who participated in the battle saw this, they were all stunned, it's over!

Wei Gao saw it clearly in the distance, immediately raised his spear and pointed forward, and shouted: "The opportunity has come, brothers, follow me into the camp of the great cannibals, and kill people when you see people, and kill dogs when you see dogs!" Rush with me! ”

"Rush!" The Western Qin cavalry held their weapons and horses, followed behind Wei Gao, and rushed towards the gap in the wall.

Boom, a large number of horses' hooves spread, and murderous aura swept in. In the face of the surging Western Qin cavalry, Manhard was suddenly terrified, and he shouted bitterly: "Quickly plug this gap for me!" ”

At the call of Manhard, a phalanx of pikemen ran from the camp and blocked the gap in the wall, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they were attacked by a series of bows and arrows from the Western Qin cavalry who rushed over and suffered heavy losses, and the spear phalanx became sparse, and then Wei Gao led the cavalry to rush hard, and the scattered spear array collapsed and collapsed.

As the Western Qin cavalry rushed into the camp, many phalanxes of the Great Food Army in the camp were confused because of fear and panic, and escapes began to appear, these people not only could not help, but also brought huge trouble to their own people, they turned around and fled and scattered their own people's phalanx.

Manhard watched in amazement as the Western Qin cavalry rushed into his camp as if no one was there, shooting and slashing his soldiers everywhere, he suddenly became terrified, ran down from the wall, and immediately rushed to a slightly larger sword and shield phalanx with some guards to organize the soldiers to defend.

Wei Gao took his cavalry to rush back and forth in the camp of the Great Food Army to kill and release arrows, and he didn't know how many people he killed, and found that the Great Food Army had begun to form an organized army formation for defense, so he knew that he would not be able to take advantage of any further fighting, so he immediately left the camp with the cavalry, leaving only the corpses of the Great Food Soldiers and more than 10,000 Great Food Army generals who were still apprehensive.

Manhard looked at the corpses all over the ground, his whole expression was stunned, and he yelled in his heart: "I brought these big food soldiers to rescue Shulgaz City, but I was pressed and beaten by the Western Qin army in this Bam Oasis, what the hell is this!" ”

It was busy until the end of the night, the camp was cleaned up, and the collapsed wall gap was also refilled and repaired, after statistics, more than 3,100 people died in the attack of the Western Qin army, and more than 1,000 people were more or less injured to varying degrees.

Just as the big food army in the camp fell asleep again, and was about to fall asleep but was confused, a rapid and fast drum beat suddenly sounded outside the camp, and the generals of the big food army who were familiar with the attack orders of the Western Qin army were suddenly woken up, and ran out of the tent and shouted for the big food soldiers to get up again to organize defense, some soldiers climbed the wall, and a large number of soldiers were organized to line up behind the wall.

Another wave of arrows rained down, and the Great Food Army on and behind the wall was hit with bows and arrows again, and many people died, and the surviving Great Food Soldiers immediately held their shields to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

After making a fuss like this for a while, the Western Qin army died down without even showing up, until half an hour later, when Manhard found that the Western Qin army was not moving, he ordered the soldiers to rest.

Unexpectedly, after another half an hour, the Western Qin army made a comeback again, and used the running tactics to shoot rockets into the wall and the camp one after another, the rockets were nailed to the wooden wall, and the wall was quickly burned, and the rockets that fell in the camp burned many tents and defense materials.

"Ahh

"Ahh

The big food soldiers on the wall were engulfed by the fire and burned all over their bodies, they were slamming around in the flames, and kept screaming, and after a while they fell into the fire and did not move, and the other big food soldiers heard these screams, and saw their companions die so miserably, and they all felt chills in their hearts.

Manhard kept breaking out in a cold sweat on his forehead, this time the Western Qin army still appeared, but it brought him and his soldiers of the Great Food Army more trouble, the fire burned the walls and tents, and wanted to burn the fruits of their hard work at a huge cost overnight, he had to lead the soldiers of the Great Food Army to put out the fire.

After nearly two hours of busyness, the fire was finally extinguished, but by this time it was already light, and Manhard realized that he and his soldiers had not slept all night, and had lost more than 4,000 men in vain.

Although the fire was extinguished, Manhard and his soldiers could not rest, and they had to rebuild the camp and build it stronger and stronger, so that the Western Qin army could not attack it for the time being.

More than 10,000 people were busy until the hour was strong, and after breakfast, Manhard was about to let the soldiers take turns to give news, but Zhao Ziliang appeared in Manhard's sight with a large number of cavalry at this time.

"What kind of flag is that?" Manhard pointed to Zhao Ziliang's Daxu and asked loudly to the generals beside him.

A subordinate general replied: "Your Excellency, this is the royal banner of the King of Western Qin!" It was Zhao Ziliang who came here in person! ”

When Manhard heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, "Damn, this Zhao Ziliang also thinks too highly of me, and he actually led a large army to beat me personally!" ”

"Generals, it seems that we can't rest, the King of Western Qin is here in person, I'm afraid our days will be hard during the day today!"
