This time the post-battle break was very short, and after a short discussion on the pirates' side, they finally decided to take down the fort no matter what. In order to vent his anger, Zheng Balang sent soldiers and horses to sweep the fence of the four camps outside the city, wanting to capture the soldiers' families as hostages. However, when hundreds of pirates entered the camps, they suddenly found that the original four camps had long been empty, and there was not even a single person.

The crazy pirates directly set fire to the four large camps, one after another tents were set on fire, and the wind set fire, and soon the island was already on fire, and half of the island was burned red. The pirates' burning basically showed their determination to attack. Although none of the merchants on the four piers of Salmon Island came to the rescue, the fire caused the garrisons on the three islands surrounding Salmon Island, Daxie South Island, North Island, and Da Heishan Island, and they could no longer pretend to be unaware, even if it was symbolic, they had to send troops to Salmon Island, and they would arrive after dawn at the latest.

The pirates divided several troops and horses to feint to attack the east and south city walls, trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain. However, although the two walls have been demolished in half, they are still half a man high. Here, Li Jing arranged for many people to guard the place with spears and bamboo poles, and when they saw the pirates coming, they just poked and smashed stones, hot oil, and boiling water. There weren't many people who feinted to attack the pirates, and after a few failed attacks, they were simply called back by Zheng Balang.

The Shamen army deliberately left a few gaps, waiting for the pirates to enter. Previously, because of these three gaps, the pirates were able to easily enter every time, but not many people entered each time, resulting in an empty army, but it became a refueling tactic, and the army was defeated twice. Zheng Balang was angry and refused to send the soldiers in little by little. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would not be able to give full play to his military advantage, and he could only fight with Shamen Town little by little, and he would not be able to take advantage of it at all. He directly summoned the pirates, removed the wood from the camp gate outside the fort, and made a ramshell temporarily.

Hundreds of pirates carried more than a dozen rambling hammers and slammed into the wall by the gap. I want to directly smash the broken wall between the three gaps and open up a bigger gap. In order to cover these people, Zheng Balang personally gathered all the pirates with bows and opened their bows to shoot arrows in the back to cover. In the city, Li Jing tried to lead the sword players to rush up twice, but both times they were repelled by the rain of arrows, and there was no way to stop those people from hitting the wall.

After two tentative attacks and several more wounded, Li Jing decisively ordered to retreat behind the shield wall.

Zhang Chengzong made a bloody cut on his forehead, and said to Li Jing with grinning: "Lord." It can't be fought hard like this, and the thieves are now smarter, with bows and arrows behind them. Liu Shouqian frowned and said: "But it's not a way to let them hit the wall like this, once the wall is knocked open, the three gaps will be connected." Then we can't just let out a batch and kill a batch like we did just now. When the pirates rush in, they will advance step by step, but they can only fight hard. He paused and said, "General, it is better for me to lead my brothers out of the city from the east." Go around behind the pirates and sneak attack, flanking them inside and out. ”

Li Jing knows that until now, it is estimated that there is no trick to speak of. The next battle. It can only be a hard fight. However, he has been calculating the time, and it has been more than an hour since the start of the war, and it is not far from Liang. He had been waiting for news from Lin Wei's side, and he didn't know what the battle situation was over there.

"It's okay, you two bring a team of family members, and then bring four hundred auxiliaries, they haven't participated in the battle just now, and it's time to play. Quietly go out of the city from the east city, go around to the right flank of the pirates, don't do anything yet, just lie in ambush there. According to the agreement, at present, Vice Admiral Lin and General Lin Wu should be attacking the fleet of pirate docks, and it is estimated that it will be soon. As soon as they take down the remaining pirates in the fleet, they will return to the army. They had 200 soldiers, more than 100 cavalry, as well as a team of Qiu Shengong and more than 200 crew members on the Haining. Just wait until they arrive, and you will immediately fight from the right flank. ”

The three of them agreed on a signal, and once Lin Wei returned to the army, they would immediately encircle and counterattack on three sides. If Lin Wei never came back, then without Li Jing's special signal, they would have to lurk outside the city all the time and not be exposed.

At that moment, Li Jing sent another team to quietly go to the dock to check the battle at the dock and inform them of Li Jing's plan.

Subsequently, Li Jing asked the soldiers to start to take advantage of the last time to eat, the meals were all steamed buns, boiled eggs and dried meat prepared in the morning, although they were all cold, but no one cared about these at this time, they were all holding swords in one hand, and eating hot water in the other. A meal that has been gobbled up in less than a moment.

"Bang!" Another break in the wall was knocked down, and the gap grew wider and wider.

Li Jing immediately gathered all the soldiers, the square shield soldiers were in the center, the two wings were a phalanx of seven hundred spearmen, followed by the sword and shield soldiers, and then the crossbow soldiers covering behind the formation. Everyone knows that this time is not as good as the previous two times, only hard fighting. The first two times Li Jing fought an active counterattack, but this time, he made up his mind to defend with an iron wall.

The more time dragged on, the more anxious the pirates became, and the more beneficial it was to Li Jing and them. He is now going to drag and drag the pirates back to Lin Wei and them to solve the docks. After dragging it out until dawn, the pirates had scruples about the officers and soldiers. As long as he holds on, this victory will be theirs.

More than 1,000 people nervously lined up in a glaive array, and the torches were burning one after another, illuminating Xicheng like day. The cold wind of the night was howling, the frost and mist were filled, and the faces of the frozen people were red, and their fingers were hairy. But no one burned out, and this was the battle that would decide the life and death of them and Salmon Town.

Li Jing sent all the hundreds of pieces of equipment that had just been captured on the battlefield, especially the more than 200 pieces of iron armor and more than 100 pieces of leather armor, as well as more than 300 bronze helmets, and immediately made half of the soldiers of the spear logistics army equipped with battle armor and helmets, and the defense strength was improved much in an all-round way. In addition, Li Jing also equipped many of the people who were transferred with spears and horizontal knives, and temporarily armed six teams of spears of 300 people, as well as six teams of 300 horizontal knife teams. These men were transferred to both wings as reserves. Although most of these newly armed people are teenagers and half-old men, they can also make a strong presence when they are critical.

The collapse of the city wall in sections also means that the pirates' strongest attack is getting closer and closer.

The cold wind blew on his face, like a knife blowing, and his face was hard and painful. All that came out of his mouth was a cloud of white gas, and Li Jing felt that his nose was numb, and he could only breathe with his mouth open. Stand motionless in the cold wind. After a long time, Li Jing felt that he was about to be frozen, as if his body had merged with the cold iron armor on his body. Time passed, and there was still no movement on the west side outside the castle.

Li Jing looked around at the sergeants of Shamen Town who were lined up in a formation, and everyone was not as good as him, they were already shivering with ice, and their teeth chattered.

"Bang!" Another large section of the wall was knocked down. As soon as this wall fell, the three gaps were completely connected, and a large gap of about ten zhang long appeared in front of everyone. Li Jing gritted his teeth, as a result, the city wall had completely lost its defensive role, and now the pirates could line up in a neat phalanx to kill in.

"Raise your spear!"

"Hold your ground!"

Li Jing held a long sword in his hand and shouted loudly, whether he can defeat the pirates tonight depends on whether he can hold up the current wave. The spearmen in the first row were ordered to tilt their spears down. The tail stabbed hard into the ground, then the tip of the spear in the second row was slightly raised, then the third, and then the fourth, and then the fifth. A company of six rows of spears. The spears at the bottom were almost half-mixed with the ground, and then one layer was higher than the other, and the last six rows of spears formed a fan-shaped steel thorn forest in front of the formation. This was originally a formation used by spearmen to deal with cavalry, but at this time, it was used by Li Jing to set up a formation to deal with pirates. This formation is all over the place. It also shows Li Jing's determination to resolutely defend.

In front of the collapsed city wall before the dust and smoke dissipated, Zheng Balang looked at the soldiers and horses in the city who had spread their spikes like a hedgehog and shrunk up. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Kill me!"

As he drank, a row of twenty crossbows suddenly came up from behind the pirate formation. This is a heavy crossbow brought by the royal guards, used by many people, with a range of 300 paces, and fires iron crossbow arrows. The Fuyuan crossbow requires two people to operate, and it is powerful.

In general, the bow has an armor-piercing range of 1, an accuracy range of 2, and a damage range of 3. This means that the range of the Fuyuan crossbow is 300 steps, and the maximum killing distance for unarmored targets is 300 steps, in fact, the range should be longer, and 300 steps is just an effective killing distance. The accuracy of the second indicates that the accuracy range of the crossbow arrow should be 200 steps, and it can be accurately shot within 200 steps. And one hundred steps is the range of armor-piercing damage.

The distance between the array in the city and the pirates was an arrow away, eighty paces. The effective range of the bow and arrow is generally around 60 paces, 80 paces, and most archers have lost their lethality at night. It's just that what Li Jing didn't expect was that the pirates not only had crossbows, but also heavy crossbows with 300 steps.

Twenty iron crossbows came with a sharp whistling, and the soldiers in the front row had not yet figured out what was going on, and the twenty crossbow arrows had already penetrated into Li Jing's array. Several screams rang out, and more than a dozen people fell down at once. Except for a few crossbow arrows that hit the shield right on top of the shield, all the other crossbow arrows were shot at the people. The dense array didn't need much accuracy at all to completely hit the target, although the soldiers in the front row were wearing iron armor, but within eighty paces, the iron crossbow arrows fired by the Fuyuan crossbow with a range of three hundred steps were useless at all.

"Raise your shield!" Li Jing's eyes erupted with fire, and the casualties in this time were already compared to the previous battle.

Twenty more iron crossbows were fired, and the odd soldiers raised their shields one after another, and a shield wall was erected in front of the formation, but in addition to the square iron shields of the odd soldiers, the cowhide log rows of the regimental soldiers could not block the crossbow arrows at all, and they were shattered as soon as they were hit, and even the soldiers behind were also injured.

Wave after wave, the pirates' Fuyuan crossbows kept shooting, although Li Jing's side was struggling to support, but the shield was still broken and people were injured, and the soldiers kept falling to the ground with crossbows, and they saw that all the injured ones couldn't live. As the soldiers continued to fall, the array began to become precarious, and it could collapse at any time.

Outside the city, Zheng Balang waved his big sword and shouted angrily: "Kill me!" ”

The pirates, who had already been gearing up, suddenly screamed wildly, brandishing all kinds of weapons and slapping them like wolves.

PS: A writer brother at the recent starting point died of overwork in ten years, and I was shocked to hear the news. Brother Xueluo also has a younger sister who goes to school and an old mother at home, and I hope everyone can go to the book "Wubu World" by Ten Years Xueluo to support him. The starting point has decided to give 100% of the revenue generated by all subscriptions, tips, etc. to his family. Muzi is also a hard-working soldier like Brother Xueluo, although he can't reward the alliance leader, but he also supports it. I hope that the book friends who have the conditions can also do their part, one or two pieces is not too little, and ten yuan and 100 yuan are not too much. (To be continued.) )
