Chapter 561: Frustration
The defenders on the ramparts were busy replenishing the ballista with arrows, and one of the soldiers whispered to his companion, "Chrysanthemum remnants?" What is it? ”
Another soldier pouted and said: "Who knows, these neurotics may be crazy, the grandsons of the Eastern Saint Empire are all stupid B, they come to the city every day on a cold day to call, and they are not too tired, what a damn, they scolded happily, we still have to accompany them, I wonder, our general can endure this breath?" If it had been me, I would have killed my grandson here. ”
Another soldier pulled him and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, if the general hears it, you kid will have to taste the taste of a military stick." ”
The defenders of the city used a heavy crossbow, and the soldiers of the Eastern Saint Empire did not dare to stay in place to be a target for the other party, so they hurriedly retreated and retreated beyond the range of the heavy crossbow, but in this way, the distance between the two sides was a little far, and the generals who called the formation used their screams to scold the other party and couldn't hear what he was shouting.
During this time, Yuan Fang also came to see it a few times, and also saw the level of scolding of his own generals, today Yuan Fang happened to be in a good mood, and he also wanted to be addicted, so he took Xia Yi and a few girls to the city, and scolded at the city wall in the distance with his throat: "Hey, you turtle grandsons, don't nest in your crotch all day long and don't come out, if you are still a man, you will come out with a real knife and a real gun battle for 300 rounds, let's fight to the death." Speaking of this, Yuan Fang scratched his head, embarrassedly took out the prepared scolding speech from his arms, and was about to come to something more exciting, when suddenly, a sudden change occurred, only to see the city gate open, and a cavalry rushed out from it, and rushed over with murderous energy.
Yuan Fang was taken aback, and then he was overjoyed, and ordered loudly: "Order the cavalry behind to follow, and strive to take the city gate, let's rush." As he spoke, he urged the horse forward.
Lin Menghan was shocked when he saw this, and urged the horse to catch up with Yuan Fang and persuade: "Brother-in-law, you can't take risks, let's go back first, if something happens to you, how can we explain to Your Highness?" ”
Xia Yi echoed and said, "Yes, brother-in-law, let's retreat first." ”
Yuan Fang ignored the persuasion of the two women, and kept accelerating, these days he is in a hurry, if the enemy has been holding on like this, after a long time, his morale will slip, not to mention, it will be too late in time, now that the other party is finally fighting, how can Yuan Fang easily give up such a good opportunity, Yuan Fang thinks very simply, no more, as long as his people can kill the city gate, hold on until the large army behind arrives, Yuhong County is at his fingertips, and Yuan Fang is very confident, the thousand female soldiers who follow him are all experienced elites.
Yuan Fang kept accelerating, staring at the open city gate, Xia Yi, Ye Qingru, Lin Menghan, and Huo Bingyan had no choice but to draw their war knives and protect Yuan Fang in the middle.
The other party attacked, Yuan Fang personally led the team to meet the enemy, which can scare the cavalry behind, Yuan Fang, that is the main general of the Eastern Expedition, if he hangs up, it will be a big deal, the cavalry general did not say a word, and sent someone to inform Yuqing and then set off immediately with the cavalry under his command to support Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang and the others were not far from the city gate, and the speed was fast enough, but the other party's speed was not slow, and the goal was clear, and the two sides quickly collided with each other.
The lethality of the cavalry mainly depends on speed, but in this limited space, the speed of both sides has not been increased to the extreme, except for the front one that knocks people on their backs, there is no impact at all in the back, and the two sides instantly enter a melee with close combat.
The armor of the female soldiers is the top of the Eastern Saint Empire, the vital parts are protected by iron sheets, and the leather armor of other parts is also specially treated, and the defense is quite good, which is not comparable to the other party. The female soldier in the front has a round shield in her left hand, a war knife in her right hand, and a little later holds a cavalry spear, or stabs or throws, and the back one is to take out a crossbow to cover the shot, and the cavalry of the defenders is constantly hit by arrows and landing, boiling a piece.
Yuan Fang rushed to the forefront under the escort of Xia Yi and the women, and the war knife in his hand kept swinging and slashing, and there was almost no general, this is not how strong Yuan Fang's force is, but because Xia Yi and the women will protect Yuan Fang even if they are injured, so that almost all of the enemies on the Yuan side are cut by Xia Yi and their knives first, so Yuan Fang will seem so brave and invincible.
Yuan Fang They are extremely violent, and the defenders are not vegetarians, although the equipment is not as good as Yuan Fang, but they are fighting at home, and the soldiers on the city wall are supported by fire in time, and the feather arrows fall into the female soldiers' formation like rain, and with a muffled snort, the casualties of the female soldiers increased sharply.
With a whoosh, a feather arrow slashed against Yuan Fang's face, startling Yuan Fang, swinging a knife to cut down the enemy soldiers on the opposite side, looking up, he was suddenly scared out of white sweat.
I saw that the three ballistae on the city wall had opened their bowstrings, and the soldiers were installing crossbow arrows, and the direction that the three ballista were aiming at was where Yuan Fang was.
Huo Bingyan also saw the crossbow cart on the city wall, resisted the opponent's blow and slashed it off the horse, took advantage of the gap to grab Yuan Fang's horse reins and turned around and left, at this time she couldn't care about anything else, protecting Yuan Fang from danger was what she should do.
Yuan Fang followed Huo Bingyan and rushed out along the junction of the two armies, Xia Yi, Lin Menghan and Ye Qingru followed, Yuan Fang was no longer reckless at this time, and ordered loudly while resisting the attack on his side: "Retreat, retreat, disperse and retreat, be careful of the heavy crossbows on the city wall." ”
Huo Bingyan and several of them are quite skilled, worthy of the elite selected by Yuqing, the four of them took Yuan Fang to kill a bloody way, and successfully broke through, and the other female soldiers did not love to fight, and after getting rid of the opponent, they followed one after another, blocking Yuan Fang and the pursuers with their bodies, while retreating in the direction of the main formation, while using crossbows or bows and arrows to design backwards to suppress the speed of the enemy.
Buzzing, three terrifying voices sounded one after another, Yuan Fang's heart tightened, and when he turned his head to look, he saw three streamers shooting out.
At this time, Yuan Fang and they were getting farther and farther away from the city wall, and the speed was very fast, the soldiers in charge of the heavy crossbow were not accurate enough, the two crossbow arrows in front of them were deceiving, and the third one failed to hit Yuan Fang, but fell into the cavalry team behind him, and just hit a female soldier, directly piercing it from the side and nailing it to the ground.
Yuan Fang looked back at the female soldier, she did not die immediately, blood kept gushing out of her mouth and nose, lying quietly on the ground, looking at Yuan Fang's distant figures, a smile of relief appeared on her face, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly closed, and her body twitched a few times and then there was no movement.
