Chapter 673: Siege
"Da Shan Yu, it's not a way to go on like this, let your subordinates lead people to rush and kill, extinguish their sharp spirit, let our army breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time take the opportunity to make up the city wall!"
Kebi, who was also paying attention to this battlefield, was speechless for a long time when he looked at the overwhelming attack, but a Xianbei general behind him took the initiative to ask.
"Take the initiative to go out of the city and rush to kill? How to rush to kill? It's not like you haven't seen the battle a few days ago, the enemy's elite cavalry is even stronger than six elite 10,000 cavalry, how can we rush and kill? ”
Kebineng didn't respond, but another Xianbei general retorted.
"Hmph, that's better than a coward like you who only dares to hide in the city and cower!"
"You ......"
"That's it! The great enemy is still arguing with each other, what kind of system is it? Kebineng snorted coldly and waved his hand, interrupting the argument between the two.
"What Mo Buer said is reasonable, allowing the Han people to wreak havoc will not only affect the morale of our army, but also be detrimental to our defense. Mo Bu'er, since you took the initiative to ask for help, then Shan Yu promised you that you would lead 20,000 elites to rush and kill the enemy's spirit! ”
"My lord, this move is inappropriate...... Xianbei military general, who was arguing with Mo Bu'er, heard the words and wanted to admonish, but was interrupted by Kebi Neng directly waving his hand: "Okay, just follow the order!" ”
"It's my lord!" Mo Buer shouted excitedly, and before leaving, he glanced at the military general who was arguing with him defiantly.
"Kela, you lead 30,000 elite soldiers, and you are ready to support at any time."
The Xianbei general named Kela was obviously stunned when he heard this, and Kebineng frowned: "Why, didn't you hear the order clearly?" ”
"If you forgive your sins, your subordinates will receive your orders."
After Kera retreated, the lock slave, who had been silent, asked in a low voice: "My lord, there is a gap between Kela and Mobuer, and it is a bit inappropriate to let Kela suppress the formation for Mobuer, right?" ”
Kebineng glanced at the lock slave when he heard this, shook his head and left without saying anything, making the lock slave look confused.
Kela, Suonu, and Mobul are all senior generals who are qualified to understand the situation of Manchester City's city defense, in other words, all three of them are the objects of Kebi's suspicion!
Kebi can not effectively determine who is the mole, and can only slowly test it through various methods.
It didn't take long for the city gate to slowly open, and the Xianbei elite cavalry rushed out from the three city gates, one and two, and attacked the siege troops not far away.
"Quick, protect the siege troops!"
Seeing the Xianbei army rushing out, Kou Xian immediately shouted.
In fact, Kou Xian's order was completely redundant, and each bed crossbow or torch stone cart was equipped with a varying number of elite foot soldiers, on the one hand, to assist the mechanics in controlling the siege equipment, and on the other hand, to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the siege equipment.
Seeing that the Xianbei people took the initiative to go out of the city, the mechanics adjusted the shooting height of the bed crossbow, and the infantry responsible for protection consciously set up a gun forest shield wall to resist the attack of the Xianbei cavalry.
"Put!"
With the roar of the crossbow commander (each bed crossbow has a commander, similar to the gun commander of a modern army), the crossbow strings let out a thunderous thunderclap, and the crossbow arrows with a length of a foot and thick arms suddenly attacked the Xianbei cavalry like lightning.
This crossbow arrow was lucky enough to hit a high-ranking military general of the Xianbei Army, and the general was powerless to resist the crossbow arrow with a ferocious force, and the breastplate was directly pierced like paper paste.
The crossbow arrow pierced through the Xianbei general, and the horse of a Xianbei cavalry behind the general was directly torn apart by the crossbow arrow, and the knight fell to the ground with a plop.
The Heavy Bed Crossbow is very effective against enemy forces in dense formations, but not every Bed Crossbow can react and re-angle in a short period of time.
In addition, the bed crossbow is set for a super-large target such as a city wall, and the accuracy is very impressive, and attacking moving cavalry can only rely on luck.
Finally, the attack speed of the bed crossbow is very slow, and it requires the soldier to use a professional winch to wind, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it takes about two minutes to wind it once.
For high-speed and mobile cavalry units, heavy bed crossbows have basically only one chance to attack.
For cavalry, the use of bed crossbow attacks is somewhat excessive, and even the elite soldiers of the black armor Xuancai cannot be directly hit by the bed crossbow without dying.
The rate of fire is slow, the hit rate is low, the power is excessive, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is impressive, and no one in the normal army attacks the army with a heavy bed crossbow.
The real means of long-range attack against the army are bows and arrows, repeating crossbows, small and medium-sized ballistas, etc.
In the end, Mo Buer paid 2,000 casualties and approached the bed crossbow troops.
That doesn't mean he can get the job done, though.
The elite infantry unit guarding the ballista struck, and the shield array was in front, and the long steel spear stretched out from the attack space reserved in the shield array, pointing directly at the attacking Xianbei cavalry.
This classic infantry tactic left a deep impression on the Kebineng army in the previous war, and the Xianbei cavalry, who had suffered a big loss, did not dare to be tough anymore, but instead galloped back and forth around them, and from time to time showed their salvo skills. But how can the less powerful cavalry bow be able to win the elite shield soldiers of the Pingzhou army?
The sound of ping-pong slamming of arrows against the shield wall, and the occasional sparkle of sparks, did not pose a real threat to the soldiers and ballistas behind the shield wall.
"My lord, enemy reinforcements are here!"
Just when the Xianbei army was at a loss, the deputy general of Mo Buer suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.
Mo Bu immediately looked up when he heard this, and saw Xu Huang holding a big axe and rushing over first.
"Damn, it's coming so fast!"
Mo Buer scolded resentfully, and the deputy general asked anxiously, "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Slightly unwillingly, he glanced at Xu Huang and the splitting axe horse led by him, and Mo Bu'er roared: "Go, don't do anything, let's go back to the city!" ”
After fighting with the Pingzhou Army for so long, the Xianbei people, the main force in the Pingzhou Army, also got a general idea. Although the Split Axe Cavalry is not the strongest force in the Pingzhou Army, it is not something that Mo Buer can deal with.
Under a fair duel, the Xianbei side must at least mobilize the Xiongnu Wanqi or the elite wolf cavalry to have any hope of winning, although the army led by Mo Buer can barely be called elite, but there is still a significant gap compared with the Split Axe Cavalry.
"My lord, look, there's also a Han army rapidly approaching us!"
Mo Bu followed the prestige, but saw Qin Ping leading 10,000 Yan Tiger Riders to kill the past from the diagonal rear.
Shang Ji naturally prepared for the Xianbei army to go out of the city to raid the siege equipment, and several high-level special cavalry troops were waiting for the Xianbei people to come to the door.
I didn't meet the enemy at the first time before, in order to let the Xianbei army fall deeper and kill and injure as many enemy troops as possible.
"It's not good, I've fallen for the tricks of the Han dog, withdraw quickly!"
Mo Buer let out a little hindsight, left behind the heavy ballista that was close at hand, and turned around to return to the city.
How could Xu Huang and Qin Ping watch them slip away? Quickly whip up, front and back pinching and rush to the end of the ear.
After about two quarters of an hour, Mobuer finally returned to the protection of Manchester City under the guidance of Kela. Looking at Xu Huang and Qin Ping, who were showing off their might outside the range of the archers defending the city, they didn't want to cry without tears.
The raiding army stole chickens and rice, a full 20,000 troops, and only 10,000 were left in the end, nearly half of the soldiers were killed, and even the deputy general who was close to him died in order to cover his return to the city, which can be described as a heavy loss!
