Chapter 400: Defend without a fight
Chapter 400: Hold on without a fight
"Haha, after so many battles, I know that fighting with you is the most fun!"
Tian Kai Haha smiled, retreated to the side with his hands, and picked up the weapon from the neatly placed weapons next to him.
Chu He didn't answer him, but looked at the approaching enemy army in front of him, and held the masonry on the city with both hands tightly.
They won the war, but that doesn't mean they will win on the battlefield.
However, this city still needs to be defended, and after all the anger and morale of the enemy have been consumed, they are counterattacking.
Xu Chu had already begun to command the defense, and teams of crossbow archers shot away one after another.
Arrows fly like locusts!
Dense arrows fell from the sky, some shot directly into the ground, some shot on the horses, some directly pierced the armor of the Youzhou soldiers, and some directly shot through the enemy's head.
Countless arrows also suppressed the impact momentum of the enemy, and the enemy infantry camp in front was constantly advancing under the beating of drums.
The huge shield and the bright armor made the arrows useless at all, but the crossbow arrows on both wings caused a moment of confusion among the cavalry in front.
At this moment, listening to the return of the herald, he couldn't help frowning, and immediately took back the cavalry sent out, and taught the task of attacking the city to the infantry in front.
As a result, the cavalry retreated, leaving only dozens of enemy infantry in front of the east gate, and even more ladders and chariots kept slowly driving towards the city in the crowd.
"Hive Fire Crossbow ready!"
Xu Chu looked at the infantry in front of him who were still approaching, and shouted loudly as he stared at the enemy's camp.
Suddenly, the prepared slogans were transmitted in an orderly manner from the city wall, and Xu Chu also gave the order to launch at the same time.
Hiss!
The fuse was ignited at the same time, and then a hundred huge crossbow bolts flew out, directly penetrating the huge battle shield of the infantry camp in front, and then in a sound of explosions, the enemy army formation instantly exploded.
"Can't be returned! Those who retreat, kill and decide! ”
There was a restlessness on the battlefield, and the enemy troops who walked to the front began to be afraid, stepping on the bodies of their companions, and they were about to retreat in a hurry, but the command of the prison army made everyone feel for a while.
The generals of the various formations immediately organized their formations and once again launched a charge.
However, on the city wall, the flying crossbow bolts were still being fired, exploding in front of them, left and right.
Dozens of phalanxes, in between breaths, nearly one-fifth of the phalanx completely lost their formation.
There were constantly people howling on the ground, and the military formation behind them was still advancing, although they were very afraid, so that Gongsun Zhan was determined to take Zhongshan City today.
The army of 100,000 is just a tool for him to dominate the world, and if he can exchange Chu He's life, Gongsun Chan is naturally willing to do so.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
A full 10,000 crossbow bolts were launched in front of the east gate, and a large number of explosions dyed a blood-red color within a hundred meters in front.
Broken limbs, bright red flesh, and the soldiers who kept wailing and crying.
Everything is intertwined to form a hell on earth.
The blood was converging and converging into a stream that flowed into the moat not far away.
The wide moat was being stained red with a little bit of blood.
"Longwei cannon ready! Hive Fire Crossbow for Crossbow Case! ”
The order was given again, and more soldiers lined up and came to the top of the city.
Between breaths, in front of the battle formation in front of him, there was already a bloody battlefield, Gongsun Chan did not give the order to attack, but let the army behind him continue to organize the formation, ready to go forward again for the follow-up attack.
Less than half of the dozens of phalanxes retreated, most of them died on the battlefield in front, and a small number remained on the battlefield because they were injured by the explosion.
10,000 metal crossbow bolts with a length of two meters, under this squandering, killed more than 10,000 enemies, which directly made Gongsun Zhan's battle array unable to ignore the military order and retreat frantically.
"Slash!"
On the battlefield, Gongsun Chan shouted angrily, and his own generals who took the lead in escaping were pushed to the front of the military formation, and under the gaze of everyone, they were beheaded together.
The hearts of the Youzhou soldiers were cold, but they knew that it was a capital crime to escape from the battle, and everyone who originally returned was going to die, and Gongsun Chan only executed a few leaders, which could be regarded as a wake-up call for them.
However, the sharpness of Zhongshan City's armor was something they had never seen before, and they had already lost one-tenth of it before they had killed the enemy, and they could not afford such casualties.
Gongsun Zhan was sent with 300 wounds and 3,000 self-losses, and he did not regard the soldiers under his command as his own brothers, but as tools.
"Pass my military order, the second round of the offensive begins! If you don't listen to the order, you will retreat! No mercy! ”
The cold voice sounded on the battlefield, and the soldiers began to gather towards the front, but this time the infantry formation changed its formation, turning into a loose formation rather than a dense formation.
The rushing ladder in front of the battle formation was already extremely advanced, and they were not equipped with anything at all, but they had to rush forward directly and directly apply the rushing and cloud ladders on the battlefield.
"Rush!"
At the sound of an order, thousands of troops roared in unison.
Chu He looked at the enemy army attacking again in front of him, as if he had seen a group of chaotic ants, although it seemed to be completely disorganized, but in fact it implied some military formation methods.
"At the same time as the artillery fires, the crossbow battalion also attacks, and then the hive fire crossbow is also fired!" Chu He glanced at Xu Chu, who was about to give an order, and said softly.
Xu Chu was slightly stunned, he didn't know that Chu He wanted to waste the equipment to defend the city like this, but he still carried out the order perfectly.
Rumble! Rumble!
Above the city, more than a dozen cannons suddenly rang out, with a momentum of shaking the ground and mountains, and the huge projectile flew directly away, exploding in the enemy's camp, and suddenly, countless pieces of iron flew towards the surroundings like rain.
However, the distance between the enemy troops was too huge, and if this cannon had been placed before, it would have killed at least hundreds of people, but this time it only shot a few people.
The small opening was quickly covered by the enemy troops rushing up from behind.
Only then did Xu Chu realize how wise Chu He's order was.
"Launch! Launch! ”
Looking at the enemy troops below who had recaptured the ladder and the rushing car, as well as the enemy troops who were about to reach the moat, Xu Chu's order was eagerly issued.
"Aim a hive fire crossbow at the rush ladder!" At this time, Chu He's order was issued again.
