When? In times of war! Seven and five Countless casualties were immense
After arranging these, Zhu Dong did not go to see the invasion army outside the city, but inspected this section of the city wall again to ensure that all the city defense equipment was in place, and then turned his eyes to the outside of the city.
Thirty feet!
The momentum of the charge did not stop at all.
"Open the bow!" Zhu Dong gave another order.
It was getting closer and closer, and at last it was twenty zhang, a fatal distance that the defenders had been waiting for for a long time, and the intruders had been afraid of. If it weren't for the great fear brought to them by the punishment in the eyes of Pan Si, they might have hesitated here at this time, or even stopped charging, but now it was different, fear stirred their emotions, and the shouts in their mouths were louder, and they tried to rush to the city at a faster speed, before the defenders could react.
But it's just wishful thinking.
"Shoot! Archery! Don't stop! Zhu Dong also yelled: "Don't shoot if you have a shield." β
The soldiers didn't even have time to do so, so they let go of their bowstrings one after another, allowing the feathered arrows that had been prepared for a long time to burst out.
According to Zhu Dong's order, the enemies they selected were all those who were not protected by cards, and as Dong Ce had guessed before, when they arrived at a place that was relatively close to the city wall, naturally, the interval between the soldiers and soldiers was much smaller, and it became denser.
So a round of arrow rain was enough to take away dozens of casualties.
And this time, in the face of the rain of arrows, the invading army did not hesitate or retreat. A tall and sturdy man raised the big axe in his hand and roared loudly: "Sons, kill with me!" β
He was just cloth, not only did he not wear armor, but he even wore his upper body naked, he was very tall, muscular, strong and strong, one by one showed an old bronz, with large and small scars on it, I don't know how many, he looked extremely strong.
It seems that he should be a low-level officer, and the team of people he is carrying are not carrying ladders, so there is no protection from the brand, but under the leadership of this big man, with the swords and guns in his hands, they are all fearless to rush forward.
The so-called spear shot the first bird, and a round of arrows immediately poured towards the big man on the head of the city, but although the big man was tall, his skills were quite agile, and a cat's waist rushed forward quickly, and the big axe in his hand was diagonally horizontal, covering his head with the axe surface, and he was not shot. But the intruder behind him was shot over.
Led by some junior officers, the army quickly approached the city wall. Of course, the price to be paid was a considerable amount of deathβthe officers and soldiers at the head of the city had already fired a full four or five rounds of arrows, and they were still drawing their bows and arrows.
At this time, you can see the strength of these elite soldiers in Yansui Town, their movements are very stable, only the arm is moving slightly, and the arm holding the bow is only occasionally shrinking down to slightly relieve the soreness. Their movements were uniform, their eyes staring downward, steady and sharp at the same time, not very fast, but actually very fast. Dong Ce stared at them for a while, and nodded secretly, these people don't know how many times they repeat this action in order to do this, but they are afraid that hundreds or thousands of times are less.
The army was already close to within five zhang, and Dong Ce stood at the head of the city, holding on to the battlements and looking down, and could even see their excited and hideous faces clearly.
Rushing so close, it seemed to them that hope was at hand.
Dong Ce looked at Zhu Dong again, the enemy had approached here, but he didn't issue any other orders, he just shouted loudly: "Shoot, keep shooting!" β
Then he turned back to the fifty Tian Shi's men who were in front of the female wall on the inner side of the city wall and shouted, "Shoot too!" β
"Yes!"
Those family members were also infected by this tense atmosphere, and they all responded and shot forward with their bows. It's just that their arrows are pointed diagonally upwards, so the feathered arrows shoot very high, but not very far, and after drawing a beautiful parabola, they fall diagonally into the intruders below.
As a result, the rain of arrows is much more intensive.
The distance from about four or five zhang to the base of the city wall was the most difficult part of the journey, where they became extremely dense, and for the defenders on the city wall, it was almost a dead target. And with the addition of the fifty people in the back, the feather arrows are even more dense.
But the intruders all know that they have no way out, and the fate of escaping back is much more terrifying than dying here.
Since there is no way back, there is only one way forward. Four or five zhang, a distance of ten meters, if there is only one person, it is enough to pass in a very short time, but now that the crowd is crowded, it will be much slower. Despite the huge cost, they are firmly moving forward.
The crowd of black crushing people smashed towards the city wall like a huge wave.
Chengcheng County may have had a moat before, but at least it doesn't now, maybe it's blocked or something else. At this point, the disadvantages of not having a moat are clearly revealed. As long as there is a moat in front of the invading army, even if it is not wide or deep, and it is not much bigger than the ordinary ditch, it can also block the way of the invading army. The intruders either filled the moat with dirt and sandbags to make a road passable, or they assumed planks.
If they choose to fill the moat, it is not only time-consuming, but also requires a lot of labor, so in this process, they are the live target of the defenders of the city. If you choose to erect wooden planks, it doesn't take time and effort, but there is a limit to the number of soldiers who pass each time, and a steady stream of soldiers passing slowly is the best target for shooting. And the few siege troops that come to the city will not pose any threat to the city.
Dong Ce looked at it, these thoughts flashed in his heart, and then made a decision, this time when he went back to Rock Fort, he must build a moat.
After reaching this distance, some of the intruders began to stand still, and then shot arrows upwards.
Although there are not many bows and arrows in the army, there are still some of them, who stand still and shoot arrows upwards, and there are about 100 people, and the bows they use are not very good, because the army itself does not have the ability to make bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows used are captured from the Ming army, so they are generally relatively old, and there are some damage in function, range, bow power, etc., are average. But the distance was too close, and they were enough to inflict considerable damage on the defenders at the head of the city.
The feather arrow was fired, and three or five defenders fell to the ground screaming.
For the first time, the defenders were killed or wounded, and the others were in a commotion.
"Leave the rest alone, shoot, keep shooting! Shoot those thieves with bows! β
The soldiers poured a rain of arrows on the feathered arrows shot from under the city, and those archers who broke into the army were suddenly covered by the rain of arrows.
In an instant, there was nothing to be done with the casualties, after all, as far as these archers were concerned, they were facing enemies several times their size. After cleaning up these people, the pressure on the city was suddenly much less, but it was also attacked under the city wall by the intrusive army taking this opportunity. After all, it is much easier to shoot them, and the officers and men are still very clear about the defensive strength of the cards. Because of this, those intruders who carried ladders, carried and hit wood, and were protected by signs, suffered very few casualties.
