Chapter 905: Three-stage shooting
"Bastard! Bastard! No return! It's all for Ben to go back and resist! The Iron Wolf roared hysterically from under the walls, but no one listened to him.
The iron gate that sealed the city gate was raised, and at the same time, more than 1,000 Wei soldiers were killed left and right towards the head of the urn city.
The iron wolf hurriedly dispatched men to resist, but because he had not yet cleared the sword soldiers who had attacked the city wall from the urn city, the Wusun soldiers were in chaos.
The soldiers of both sides fought on the walls of the urn city, and in just a few moments, the terrified Wusun army was defeated, and then the Wei army occupied the gate of the urn city.
Although the iron wolf was unwilling, the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the remaining more than 1,000 men to flee to the city.
With the opening of the gate of the urn city, Hengren was finally broken by the Wei army.
Led by 5,000 light cavalry, 30,000 Wei troops swarmed in through the city gates, and at the same time, the Wusun army defenses of the entire western city wall completely collapsed in the face of the Wei army's devastating onslaught.
After learning that the west gate had been breached, the Wei army, which was in charge of the feint attack on the south and north sides, immediately stopped the feint and monitored the movements of the enemy forces on both sides.
Five thousand Wei troops swept into the city and met the regrouped nearly 10,000 Wusun foot soldiers on the main street only fifty paces from the city gate.
After a thrilling battle, the five thousand iron cavalry crushed it with all their might, and then stepped on the enemy's flesh and blood to cover the past, killing the enemy like a ghost crying wolf howling wolf.
At the same time, large Wei troops were marching into the city one after another.
After breaking up the 10,000 Wusun army, the 5,000 iron cavalry continued to fight in depth, and then broke several smaller Wusun troops. In a relatively open square in the middle of the city, a violent rain of arrows suddenly appeared, and the iron horsemen who rushed to the front stumbled one after another. However, the charging momentum of the entire Wei army's iron cavalry did not decrease.
On the opposite side of the Wei army's iron cavalry, I saw that tens of thousands of Wusun troops had formed a tight line, with the tower shield hand in front. The pikemen were in the rear, and the last was the archers of the Wusun army, and the leading general was none other than the one who had lost the river beach position before.
The Wei cavalry continued to charge forward in the face of a rain of arrows from the enemy. In fact, under the current circumstances, it is very irrational for the Wei army iron cavalry to rush over like this, the terrain here is not conducive to cavalry charging and killing, and the enemy infantry has lined up a tight infantry line, but the Wei army iron cavalry that has already killed the red eyes does not care about any situation at all.
The Wei army rode after paying a considerable price. rushed to the front of the ground army line, and at this time, I saw the pikemen of the Wusun army coming forward to form a tower shield spear line with both attack and defense.
The Wei army's iron cavalry roared and slammed into it, only to hear the sound of swelling and cries of impact one after another, many Wusun soldiers were knocked out by the huge impact force, the original strong and abnormal front actually seemed to be crumbling, the pikemen of the Wusun army desperately stabbed the nearby Wei army iron cavalry, and the Wei army iron cavalry that lost its impact was constantly stabbed and fell off the horse.
The two sides were crowded and desperately fighting, roaring and screaming combined with the sound of weapons colliding. Blood continued to spill into the air under the light of the sword.
After about half an hour of fighting, the Wei iron cavalry had already paid a considerable price, and the Wei officers who had calmed down immediately ordered Yingxia to retreat temporarily.
Thousands of Wei army iron horsemen disappeared into this clearing in an instant, coming and going without a trace. Advancing and retreating freely, worthy of the elite light cavalry of the First Army.
Seeing that the iron cavalry of the Wei army, which had attacked fiercely just now, actually retreated, all the Wusun soldiers couldn't help but be a little incredulous. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly burst into excited cheers.
The cheers didn't last long, though. Half an hour after the Wei light cavalry retreated, tens of thousands of elite Wei soldiers appeared in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Wusun army.
Like a wall. The momentum is like a mountain, and the Wusun soldiers can't help but be secretly frightened.
The Wei infantry stopped fifty paces in front of the Wusun army's front, and at this time, with a hurried order, a rain of arrows roared towards the Wei army's infantry line.
"Defense!" With Zhang Yi's order, the Wei army's tower shield hand and sword shield hand propped up the barrier above and in front of the entire front in a uniform movement, and then the sound of tinkling dong dong rain hitting banana leaves sounded rapidly, and occasionally Wei soldiers were shot down by arrows that slipped through the net, but this had no effect on the army front in the slightest.
After this wave of arrow rain passed, Zhang Ren immediately ordered "Strong crossbowmen snipe, crossbowmen cover, and the front advances!" ”
Immediately, I saw that the strong crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time sent a wave of arrows to the crossbowmen in the rear of the enemy formation, and when I landed, I saw that the Wusun archers who were about to fire again fell a large piece, and the panicked Wusun archers who were lucky to escape shot arrows in the direction of the Wei army, and the arrows fell sparsely in the Wei army, without causing much damage.
At the same time, the second row of crossbowmen behind him immediately sent another rain of arrows to the opposite side, and then they also crouched down to draw the arrows, and the third row of crossbowmen immediately stood up, and at this time, the first row of crossbowmen was ready.
Three rows of strong crossbows were fired in turn, and a strong rain of arrows continued to harvest lives in the Wusun army.
At the same time as the Wei army's strong crossbowmen were firing, the Wei army's infantry was slowly advancing forward, and the crossbowmen followed the advance, and from time to time used the crossbows to kill and injure the enemy.
The Wei infantry line advanced to a place close in front of the enemy formation, and the soldiers on both sides could see the hairs on each other's faces face to face.
The Wusun soldiers looked very nervous, and everyone was tense.
Zhang Ren shouted: "Push!! ”
The tower shield hand at the front immediately slammed into the opponent's line under the cover of the tower shield, and the entire Wusun front shook violently.
The subsequent Wei saber and shield hands also rushed up, cooperating with the tower shield hands to push each other with their overall strength.
The Wusun Front was pushed back one after another, and they were unwilling to fail, desperately resisting the huge force that pushed the mountains and seas.
Just when the two sides were holding each other, the strong crossbowmen and crossbowmen of the Wei army suddenly stopped shooting, and almost at the same time, thousands of knife soldiers rushed to the side of the stalemate between the two sides, and then divided into two rows, the front row of the front row squatted down with its back to the line, and at the same time folded its hands together on the knees of the lunge, and then the other group of knife soldiers suddenly stepped on the palms of the first row of knife soldiers, and almost at the same time, the knife soldiers in the first row shouted and lifted their comrades with all their strength.
I saw thousands of sword soldiers like cranes crossing the stalemate between the two sides and falling into the Wusun formation, and the Wusun soldiers couldn't help but be shocked. (To be continued.) )
