Chapter 138: Jumping Counterattack

(Thank you for my tip!) Today, the fourth watch of vomiting blood asks for a monthly ticket and asks for a recommendation ticket, and the first watch will be sent first! )

The striker was ambushed, more than 400 people, and only escaped back to less than a hundred, this round of blows made the pirates frightened, and they breathed cold air.

Zheng Balang ordered to temporarily stop the attack with an iron face, and the men and horses guarded a few gaps to make adjustments. It was all a team that was pulled up with great difficulty, and more than 300 people were killed in such a battle just now, and his heart was dripping blood. Walking in front of Zhang An in a few steps, he was also one of the first people to rush into the city just now, but this guy was lucky and escaped unharmed.

"Smack!" A loud slap was thrown on Zhang An's face, and Zheng Balang's only one eye was as big as a cowbell, and he roared angrily: "Didn't you say that you have done all the investigations? Didn't you say that the city was defenseless? Why are they already waiting there as soon as we go in now? Say, are you with them? ”

"Zheng Dangjia spares his life, the little one doesn't know what is going on, I came to inquire in the evening, and there is no change at all." Zhang An's frightened soul was gone at this time, who knew that such a thing would happen to Lu Dao. Then Li Jing had already known that they would attack the city, not only did he know the time, but even they would enter the city through the gap. "There must be a mole, someone gave them a tip-off!"

"If you want to report the news, you are the only one." Zheng Balang's gaze was eager to melt him, although their attack had been planned several days earlier, but it was not until after they came ashore that they decided to sneak attack through the gap in the western wall. In just a short period of time, such an ambush has already been laid in the city, which can only show that there are indeed traitors. "Here, drag Zhang An out of the city and behead him, and pay tribute to the three hundred brothers who died in battle!"

The two pirates dragged Zhang An away, and despite his desperate begging for mercy, they cut off his head with a sharp knife. Although Wang Fu had the heart to save him. But at this time, seeing that more than 300 pirates died at once, there were also some suspicions that there was a traitor colluding with Li Jing. Since the traitor can't be found for a while, it is natural that Zhang An was pulled to be a substitute for the dead.

After killing Zhang An, Zheng Balang ordered to continue the attack. Since the sneak attack is not successful, there is only a strong attack. Guarding a few gaps, Zheng Balang didn't believe that he would not be able to capture the castle. Just now he just suffered an unguarded loss, and this time he believes that only caution is the best. Step by step, you will be able to take the castle in one fell swoop.

"Wang Jiangtou, your subordinates all have iron armor shields, this time, you go first." Zheng Balang said coldly to Wang Fu, just after losing three hundred subordinates, the anger in his heart came to his heart again, and he couldn't care about being polite to Wang Fu on the surface.

Although Wang Fu was dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that Lu Dao had no choice at this time. Nodding. Turn around and beckon 200 men to start attacking. This time, they are no longer pouring in. Instead, they held shields and formed a dense small circle array, spreading them out into the city little by little.

After entering the castle, they did not rush forward, but began to guard the gap. Wait for more centaurs to enter. Li Jing shouted and ordered the archers to shoot inside, and the rain of arrows flew in the sky, but this time there were only a few who were hit by the arrows. The round shields of the royal guards were combined like a large iron pot on their heads, and the iron armor and helmets on their bodies were also very effective in preventing the attack of bows and arrows. Only a handful of unlucky people were killed and wounded by arrows.

After blocking the first wave of arrow rain, Wang Fu was calm in his heart and shouted arrogantly. Call the person behind to enter immediately.

Several waves of arrow rain in a row, still with little effect. Li Jing also began to have a headache at this time, he didn't expect that the other party still had so many shields and iron armor, and if this continued, the other party would be able to stabilize his position in the gap, and he would be able to receive more pirates to enter. At that time, they lined up in formation, and Li Jing and the others fought against each other, and Li Jing had no advantage at all.

"General, let your subordinates go to war, your subordinates will definitely kill the thieves out of the city." Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian stepped forward in unison to ask for battle. Both of them had accurate visions, and they saw that a hard battle was inevitable at this time.

Li Jing shook his head, it's time for him, a general, to take the lead and boost morale. He recruited two teams of family members and nearly 200 soldiers from the six groups of sword and shield jumpers, and one drew his seven-foot sword, shouting: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and there is no retreat in this battle!" Behind them are our parents, wives and children, and we will defeat the thieves and kill them out of the city in one fell swoop!" ”

More than 200 soldiers struck the regimental card in their hands with horizontal knives and shouted in unison: "Kill all the thieves!" Kill all the thieves! ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and in the previous battle, hundreds of thieves had been killed, and their fears had been washed away with the blood of pirates, igniting their fighting spirit. They had just rested for a while and regained their strength, and they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Li Jing was dressed in mountain armor, wearing a phoenix winged hood, hanging a group card in his left hand, and a seven-foot sword in his right hand, waving his sword and rushing to the front. Zhang Chengzong carried the steel whip, Liu Shouqian held the copper hammer, and the monk Xuancheng held the golden hoop stick and followed Li Jing's left and right. Next, Li Shugen and Wang Shi each formed a battle group to follow them, and then the jumping soldiers behind were also in a formation of three people as a small team, and three teams as a squadron. More than 200 men and horses were composed of small arrays, and a triangular assault array was formed at the end.

In Li Jing's rear, the odd army still held the shield formation in place according to Li Jing's order, and did not attack. The auxiliaries and logisticians in ambush on the left did not move, but only ordered the odd soldiers to hold the shield wall while firing their bows and arrows to cover them, and ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows on the roof to support.

This decision was also made by Li Jing after careful consideration, and the ambush battle had become an offensive and defensive battle through the gap in the city wall. With the walls stuck in the middle, the pirates could not rush in at the same time, even though they had a large number of troops. And the place at the gap in the city is small, and Li Jing's side can't all participate in the war at once. Another important thing is that Li Jing is not confident at this time, and he does not dare to throw everyone up to fight the pirates. In this case, he can only seek stability, first stabilize the formation, and then tear and kill the enemy with the most elite jumping soldiers, and seek progress in stability. The auxiliaries and logistics, who did not have much combat experience, were used as reserves, and could only be used when they were most critically needed, so as to deal with possible contingencies at any time.

The archers and odd soldiers behind Li Jing began to shoot arrows to cover, this time no longer throwing, but shooting accurately. "Woohoo!" The arrows kept ringing, and several of the Wang family guards who rushed in front fell, and a miserable scream sounded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jing led the jumping soldiers to quickly approach the turtle shells composed of the Wang family's guards. There was a shout in the enemy formation, and several spears stabbed under the circle formation of iron shields, and Li Jing swung the long sword in his right hand violently, swinging the spear and bullying him.

At this time, a group of guards behind the Wang family's guards also began to pick up their bows and shoot arrows, but their vision was blocked in the darkness, and the shooting was not accurate. Several arrows shot in front of him were blocked by Li Jing with a shield with his left hand, and two missed arrows hit Li Jing, but the misaligned armor of Shanwen Jia was the most anti-arrow treasure, and the arrow was only inserted diagonally on it, and even Li Jing's oily skin was not hit.

The two armies were connected, and Li Jing had already rushed into the enemy's formation, and he could see the other party's frightened face in the firelight. Li Jing slashed the man's throat with a sword, and then slashed off the other's arm with a sword. Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong, the two fierce family heads, also followed, and the steel whips and copper maces in their hands were powerful, but they had extremely strong lethality against those Wang family guards wearing iron armor. This kind of blunt weapon is not afraid of iron armor at all, no matter how thick the iron armor is, if it is hit by a steel whip weighing five or six kilograms, it will basically vomit blood and fall.

The first shield was breached, and the jumping soldiers behind quickly plunged into the enemy formation like a wedge.

The jumpers were in small teams of three, covering each other and taking turns attacking. Often three people chop one person, although the Wang family's guards are also very elite, but in the face of this style of play, they often can't hold on for a few times before they fall. Occasionally, there is a fierce one, but the jumping team will immediately recruit two other squads of the same squadron, and the three squads will encircle and kill, and the blockers will be clothed.

In terms of equipment, the Wang family's guards are on par with the jumping soldiers in Shamen Town, they are all the same standard equipment, iron armor and leather shields. In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, perhaps the Wang family's guards are stronger, but these guards are basically fighting on their own. Although they had formed a circular shield formation, they still fought separately. And most of these people are holding spears, although the spears are long weapons, but after Li Jing and them quickly broke into their formation, the spears were not as sharp as the horizontal knives of the round shields of the jumping soldiers.

Li Jing stopped, and instead of continuing to rush forward, he stuck his long sword on the ground and took off the horned bow on his back. Standing behind the jumping soldiers, Li Jing suddenly fired an arrow, piercing the eye socket of a tall man who looked like a clear leader shouting and commanding. Li Jing shot several armor-piercing arrows one after another, and each arrow came out of the gun, and the arrows were not missing. Liu Shouqian, Zhang Chengzong, and Li Shugen, three masters with good archery skills, also stopped at this time to change to bows and arrows. They specialize in killing those who look like the leaders of the enemy, and they shoot unprotected faces with sharp arrows. The blocking team composed of several people blocked and killed most of the leaders of Wang Kong's guards, causing chaos in their front command.

The front command of the Wang family's escort team fell into a mix, but the jumping soldiers in Shamen Town took the opportunity to jump out and kill them. Seeing that the situation was good and the soldiers of Shamen Town had the upper hand, Li Jing immediately seized this opportunity, grabbed the iron whistle around his neck, and blew a short whistle. This is the military order that has just been agreed, and as soon as the short whistle sounds, it means that the seven hundred pikemen who have been on standby by the logistics troops will enter the battle.

As soon as the panicked logistics soldiers who had already seen it were boiling and waiting heard the whistle, the officers of each team immediately took the lead and rushed towards the battlefield with loud shouts. (To be continued.) )
