Chapter 897: Arrows rain and arrows shook the mountain
After crossing the river, the combined cavalry of the three armies galloped towards the city of Luoju in a neat queue.
The three hundred main cavalry of the Dragon God Silver Armor Army of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance Wang Rensong are the core of the coalition army, and they are in a row of ten people, with a compact formation, and the distance between the front row and the back row is only a few feet. And the three hundred war horses they sat on were almost at the same pace, and they made almost the same sound.
Behind Wang Rensong's troops were the cavalry of the official army and the Bianliang army. The 5,000 cavalry of the official army and the Bianliang army were also like Wang Rensong's troops, ten people in a row, neatly and rapidly following behind the three hundred silver-armored army elite cavalry.
As for the front of the coalition army, it was Wang Rensong and Yuan Yu. The three commanders were centered on Wang Rensong, Yuan Shuai was in the left rear, and Yu Shuai was in the right rear.
From the west bank of the Qianhe River all the way to the east city wall of Luozhou City, it is actually not far, but it is only two miles. The coalition troops, all cavalry, marched at full speed after crossing the river and reorganizing for a while, almost all the way to a point of stopping at a stone's throw in front of the eastern wall of Luoju City.
Although it was only a group of light cavalry who did not carry any siege weapons, the formation of their collective charge was quite large, and the defenders of Luozhou City could not see clearly from the city wall, and only the dust splashed by the horses' hooves covered the sky from a distance, coupled with the strong vibration on the ground, it was as if tens of thousands of cavalry were galloping forward.
Although there are 5,000 garrisons in Luozhou City today, 3,000 of them are wounded and sick, and only half of the remaining 2,000 soldiers are responsible for defending the city, and the remaining 1,000 are sent to the towns and villages around Luozhou City to maintain law and order.
It can be said that as long as Wang Rensong and their movements are fast enough, they will only need to face a thousand soldiers defending the city.
The combined cavalry army of the three armies stopped at a distance of an arrow from the defenders of Luozhou City, and at the same time, under the command of the three commanders, the cavalry army also rearranged its formation, and the three hundred elite cavalry of Wang Rensong's department were lined up in three rows, with one hundred people in a row. Each soldier took the nine-stone bow they hung on the right side of the saddle in their right hand, and placed their left hand next to the quiver hanging on the left side of the saddle, and at the sound of Wang Rensong's order, they would pour the arrows from the quiver over the heads of the enemy on the walls of Luozhou.
Although the cavalry of the coalition army was a stone's throw away, it was only the distance of the arrows shot by the standard stone bow that most of the ordinary troops of the official army and most of the powerful king's armies were equipped with. Although the soldiers under the King of Henan were stronger than the ordinary official army and most of the soldiers of the army of the King of Real Power, they were still equipped with a standard one-stone bow.
An arrow shot from the walls of Nakju Castle is one more distance than the flat ground. However, Wang Rensong relied on the powerful intelligence system of the Five Merchants Alliance, and had already calculated the distance of that stone's throw away. Now even Wang Rensong, who was standing at the front, would not be shot by the bows and arrows in the hands of the city guards on the city wall of Luozhou, let alone the soldiers of the combined cavalry brigade behind him.
Dressed in silver armor and heroic, Wang Rensong looked up at the position of the sun in the sky, and secretly calculated the hour in his heart, but he pulled out his portable sword with a "choking" sound, held it high and pointed to the sky, and shouted: "Draw the bow——"
"No—"
The three hundred elites shouted at the same time, and at the same time pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver, and at the same time pulled the bow in their hands in half, and at the same time raised their heads to the sky thirty degrees, ready to attack.
"Three rows of batch shooting - put !!!"
At the sound of an order, the arrows were like flying locusts.
Sharp arrows rained down, and the soldiers of the city defenders who pressed directly against the eastern city wall of Deluo State couldn't raise their heads at all, even if they raised their heads slightly and wanted to fight back, they were directly cut off half of their heads by the arrows that shot like lightning.
The arrows shot by the three hundred elites almost reached the top of the city wall in a straight line, grazing the gap between the female walls. The soldiers of the city defenders were so crushed that they could only curl up as much as possible to avoid the doom of being penetrated through their bodies.
Almost at the same time that Wang Rensong ordered the arrows to be released, Yuan Yu and the second marshal also ordered some of their subordinates to charge towards Luozhou City.
Theoretically, the biggest role of cavalry is to use flexibility and mobility to conduct reconnaissance and combat in the field, and it is absolutely a waste of cavalry to be thrown into the battle of attacking the city, because the cavalry cannot carry any large siege equipment, there is no enough means to threaten the city walls and gates, and it cannot defend against the attacks of the defenders against them.
However, now that Wang Rensong's 300 elite soldiers used their powerful long-range capabilities to suppress the defenders on the eastern city wall of Luozhou, they did not dare to get up and raise their heads at all, and it was impossible to cause any damage to the enemy outside the city. Yuan Yu Ershuai had already handed over all the arrows carried by their subordinates to the soldiers of Wang Rensong's department, and with the true strength and endurance of this group of masters, they used the nine-stone strong bow to completely shoot the nearly 100,000 arrows at a high frequency, which was actually difficult for some strong people.
But if the part of the subordinates who covered Yuan Yu's second marshal made arrangements under the city gate and returned, it would be enough.
I saw that Yuan Yu Ershuai's subordinates of about twenty people, each of whom was holding a black ball with a big head. They rushed all the way through the distance of seventy zhang with the fastest speed, and when they were still a few zhang away from the city gate, they immediately raised their hands and threw the black ball at the city gate, and at the moment of throwing it, they pulled the reins of their horses at the same time, and their speed did not decrease by half a minute, and they turned a big bend together with the men and the horsemen, and they hit the city walls on both sides by a fraction of a centimeter, and ran back without slowing down.
At the same time, the twenty black balls with large heads thrown by the twenty cavalry slammed straight into the city gate with a sharp breaking sound by inertia, and the moment they hit the city gate, it actually made a deafening sound of "boom, boom, boom".
At this moment, the storm was roaring, and the ground was shaking, as if the world was apocalyptic, and the earth was shaking, and even the twenty cavalrymen were not spared, and they were all shaken off their horses by violent tremors.
