Chapter 703 Pull the bow when you hold the strong, use the arrow when you use the long
With Chu Liancheng's life drinking, the hundreds of thieves on the snake and scorpion mountain all let out a ghost cry wolf howl and rushed towards the Tianshuipu military camp.
These men were warlike men, with strong physiques and extremely fast running speeds. This arrow is about two hundred strides, and with the speed of these people's sprints, it can be said that they can reach the front of them in a moment.
But Wang Ying, who was standing on the earthen wall, did not give the order to open the bow and release the arrows, and the two tiger eyes stared coldly at the formation of the attacking thief. Although divided into two waves, the number of thieves is roughly equal.
The people in the back are all the elite main forces disguised as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and these people in front are all thieves on the snake and scorpion mountain, with rudimentary equipment, and less than twenty percent of them hold some extremely rudimentary shields in their hands.
Although it was only two hundred strides, it was halfway through, and the thieves on the snake and scorpion mountain gradually divided into two waves because of the difference in speed.
The dozens of people who rushed to the front were all armed with improvised shields, and their feet were very fast, and those who followed closely were holding some long-handled utensils such as shovels and thick sticks, which were not very convenient to run, so they all fell behind.
Look at the brothers on the earthen wall who have already held their bows and arrows in their hands, just waiting for their own orders. It's a pity that these bows and arrows are poorly made, and they are far inferior to those strong bows when they were at the border.
The bantam tiger king shouted loudly: "Bow and arrow ready! Concentrate on the wave of thieves behind the shield, leave the front alone, and shoot until I shout to stop." ”
The thieves' feet were extremely fast, and they had already rushed halfway through, and those soldiers had been waiting a little anxiously. At this time, after listening to the commander's order, he immediately pulled the horn bow away, only to see bursts of random arrows shooting like rain, shooting towards the snake and scorpion thieves behind the shield array.
At this time, it was clear that there was a benefit to the old, and each of these veterans was in their forties, and some even had gray hair. In terms of physical strength, these veterans are far less powerful than the young men, and their fighting spirit and blood are also much worse.
But these people have been in the army for many years, and everyone has experienced a lot of battles, and mentally speaking, they are all people who have seen battles, so they are not too flustered when they encounter actual combat.
At least eighty percent of those indiscriminate arrows rained down into the second wave of thieves without any cover.
Although they were not strong bows, they were now less than a hundred steps away, and those thieves did not even have the simplest armor on them, they were all ordinary ordinary clothes. Where can you stand this kind of indiscriminate arrows?
All I heard was a burst of screams. Many thieves fell in response, and dozens of people were shot to death on the ground in an instant, and the rest of them ran even slower because of the dead bodies in front of them.
Wang Yingtie blushed and said nothing, observing the changes in the formation of these thieves, the thieves in front of him with shields did not receive any attacks, and ran extremely fast, and several of them were already close to the edge of the trench.
But the second wave of thieves slowed down because of the indiscriminate arrows. He was already dozens of paces away from the shield-wielding thief in front of him, and he had a tendency to stop.
No one could stand this kind of flesh carrying the rain of arrows, although those thieves were very brave and still ran forward. But as more and more people fell to the ground and died, a few timid people had already begun to stop and prepare to flee for their lives.
This is what Wang Ying wanted, and although several thieves with shields jumped into the trench, they still did not give any instructions. The cold face revealed the solemn aura of the battlefield, and this wordless order was even more heavy.
There were nearly 500 soldiers on the earthen wall, and Wang Ying only left a few old soldiers who could not open their bows to monitor the other earthen walls.
Because of the extremely important geographical location, the military department also attaches great importance to this sweet water shop barracks.
Therefore, the military supplies in the barracks are very sufficient, and under the battlements of the earthen wall are densely packed with arrows, and all the people do not need to be stingy with the number of arrows when they open their bows and release arrows.
Under this intensive offensive, there was finally a change in the situation of the battle, although these on the snake and scorpion mountain were brave, but there was no rule and some rabble. Now he is temporarily entrapped in the Xiliang Army, and he has no sense of belonging to the team.
And the soldiers on the earthen wall are like having an enmity with themselves, they don't shoot before and after they don't shoot, they shoot in the middle of themselves, and this gang of thieves has no armor and shields on them, but they don't go far away, and one hundred and ten people are killed by arrows, and many are wounded by arrows.
If you rush forward again, I am afraid that your life will be lost before you get close to the earthen wall.
When soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, their field of vision is actually very narrow, and they can only see a small area in front of them, in front of them, in front of them, in front of them. Therefore, under this kind of chaotic arrows, I can't understand the situation on the battlefield at all.
I only felt that the other party's arrow rain was too dense, the attacks in the team were too fierce, and the casualties on my side were so heavy, and the attacks on other places should be about the same, maybe the other people would have already turned around and fled.
Some thieves had already begun to run towards the back, but behind them was the Xiliang army team that followed, and the formation of the two sides was chaotic. This kind of rout on the battlefield is all mutually influential, and as long as there is a leader in escaping, it will be out of control like an avalanche.
The person who turned around and fled drove the entire formation more slowly, and also hindered the route of the Xiliang army that followed up, and abandoned the dozens of people holding improvised shields in front of them in the trench.
Wang Ying's strategy of concentrating all his firepower to attack the local area has achieved remarkable results, if these 500 people are allowed to shoot at the thousands of thieves who are attacking below, then with the tenacious fighting spirit of these people, they will definitely rush to the front of the trench with a rain of arrows.
That's when the two sides will start a tough battle.
And now this kind of partial attack destroys the fighting spirit of some of the thieves, leading to the confusion of their offensive formation, so that this first wave of offensive will not be attacked.
Bantam Tiger Wang Ying is worthy of being a fierce general at the border back then, not only because of his marksmanship skills, but also because he is extremely proficient in many methods in the art of war.
Now that the retreating snake and scorpion mountain thieves and the Xiliang army have been mixed together, Chu Liancheng also found that the situation was wrong. If the attack continues now, it will not only cause a sluggish attack, but the entire formation will also be chaotic and unorganized, and I am afraid that we will suffer serious losses on the way to the trench.
What the generals on the battlefield need is to judge accurately and resolutely, and immediately shouted that they had become handsome, Xu Liangjun retreated, and those things that fled backwards, the bandits heard it, and this sentence was like getting an amnesty, and they ran backwards desperately.
They retreated sharply, only to suffer the thieves who rushed to the front with a hundred hands or so with improvised shields. A small half of them had already jumped into the trench and were in the process of removing the wooden spears that had destroyed the trench.
A few of them also cleverly used their tools to create an inclined angle to the edge of the trench, so that the follow-up troops could climb over the trench.
These people did not receive any attack, and they rushed to the edge of the trench smoothly, and just began to destroy the city defense, but when they heard Chu Liancheng shouting behind them, they were all stunned.
Those who did not jump into the trench were fine, and immediately turned and ran backwards with their shields to block the arrows. There were thirty or forty of those who had already jumped into the trench, and although the trench was only repaired by sharpening their guns, it was easy to jump down and it was difficult to climb up, and for a time they fell behind.
Now the thieves were all back, and thirty or forty men in the trench were trying to climb up the trench while they were struggling to shield themselves from the arrows on the earthen wall.
At this moment, I only heard Wang Ying shouting: "Stop!"
With this shout, all the soldiers on the earthen wall stopped, and the rapid shot just now was a great burden on these old and weak people, and they all felt a little overwhelmed by their bodies.
The Bantam Tiger King took the iron spear and jumped off the earthen wall with a loud shout!
