Chapter 706: Each Has His Own Plan
The shield armor battalion withdrew from the Li family camp, Wei Wentong had recovered from the surprise just now, he looked at the Li family camp behind the flames with a frosty face, and thought in his heart, if according to the intelligence, this should be the time when Li Shimin's strength is the weakest, but such a strong defensive weapon, where is the weakness?
Wei Wentong ordered the crossbowmen to shoot at a distance, hoping to destroy the five crossbows with arrow feathers, Li Shimin seemed to understand Wei Wentong's goal, and after completing a salvo, he ordered the crossbow to be quickly pushed back.
After Wei Wentong's continuous rain of arrows and feathers offensive, Li Shimin just blindly ordered the defense and did not make any counterattacks, which gave the Praetorian Guards the feeling that they were attacking an empty battalion.
The rain of arrows gradually stopped, the shield battalion and the spear battalion were ordered, and the two groups of men and horses merged into one, hooked a copper coin iron wall with a huge shield, and advanced towards the Li family's camp again.
The soldiers of the Li family were armed with sledgehammers, and under the cover of the shield armor soldiers, they were in close contact with the Praetorian Guards who entered the camp.
Wei Wentong began to wonder if he had fallen into the Li family's money trap, but after thinking about Li Yuan's actions in the past few days, it didn't look like a fraud, because Li Yuan's actions were easy to play with fire and set himself on fire! So Wei Wentong blamed the unreasonableness in front of him on Li Shimin's dying struggle.
For a dying man, the best way is to give him a fierce medicine, so he ordered the whole army to press the formation, and the crossbowmen joined the auxiliary position, to put it bluntly, they each picked a position to find an opportunity to shoot cold arrows.
Thanks to the addition of the crossbowmen, the original stalemate was broken, and after paying a thousand casualties, the Li family sergeants completely lost the front of the large camp and retreated into the rear camp.
The Praetorian Guards immediately launched an attack on the Li family's rear camp, not at all ready to give Li Shimin a chance to breathe, and just as the Praetorian Guard sergeants were rushing forward, five cold crossbow machines appeared in the sight of the Praetorian Guards again.
The cyan light shone brightly, and the five crossbows fired another volley. In the face of five crossbow machines, the soldiers of the forbidden army can be said to have been prepared for a long time, and the crossbowmen spared no effort to shoot at the large projectiles that attacked, and the shield soldiers closed the shields tightly, urging their own yuan force to the extreme.
In the face of the absolute power gap, the Praetorian Guard's measures did not stop the footsteps of the projectile, in the flood of projectiles, one thick shield after another was smashed, and the soldiers behind the shield were swept into the bursting wave of flying blades, and turned into corpses that were still pumping in the screams!
Nearly 300 shield armor soldiers directly lost their lives, and more than 200 were traumatized to varying degrees! At the moment when the confidence of the soldiers of the forbidden army was shaken, Wei Wentong sent out his voice with a mention of vitality, and the sound entered the ears of every soldier of the Praetorian Guard.
"That thing can't be fired continuously! It takes time for them to replenish the projectiles, and everyone will dismantle them for General Ben in one go!"
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were only skeptical, but after seeing the dust and smoke stirred up by the projectiles disperse, they did not usher in a new round of attacks, and the leading captain already knew that what his general said was true.
The three leading captains shouted: "Brothers, avenge the dead brothers!"
The rest of the forbidden soldiers responded with a roar, and one by one they were like wounded beasts, and they began to take revenge on the person who had just hurt them!
In the face of the fierce offensive of the forbidden army, the soldiers of the Li family began to feel struggling, and after a while, the gap widened more and more, and the soldiers of the Li family began to retreat.
Seeing that the forbidden army was after all, Duan Xuanzhi knew that the five crossbow platforms could no longer be defended, so he loudly ordered the guard battalion to start retreating and gather towards Li Shimin's place.
The forbidden army successfully rushed to the crossbow platform, they were like crazy, and they were bombarded with a mess against the crossbow platform, Rao is crossbow platform was very strong, and it didn't last three breaths under the hands of the red-eyed forbidden army, and it turned into a pile of broken copper and iron!
The forbidden army was in full swing at this time, they raised their weapons aloft in their hands, and shouted loudly in unison, celebrating with such a frenzy that they had destroyed the butcher-like crossbow platform!
Duan Zhixuan took the personal guard battalion to protect Li Shimin, and the remaining more than 1,000 Li family soldiers retreated to the rear of the camp, which is also where the camp commander's tent is located.
Duan Zhixuan looked at the cliff behind him, and he whispered with a worried face: "Childe, are we going to let go?"
Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "We can retreat from this cliff, but the realm of the other brothers is much inferior to ours, how can they retreat?"
Duan Zhixuan said: "Childe, but if you don't leave at this time, if they attack again, we won't be able to leave!"
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Duan, you have been following my father for so many years, and my father will not be willing to let you stay here!"
After that, Li Shimin took out a special bamboo tube, he pulled the bamboo tube towards the sky, and with a bang, a bright flame shot into the sky.
Duan Zhixuan asked suspiciously, "Childe, do you have any other arrangements?"
Dozens of bright and thorough chirps sounded, Duan Zhixuan turned around to look for the source of the sound, and at this moment, a phoenix spirit beast entered his eyes.
The phoenix spirit beast is about one zhang long and more than five feet wide, and the size is as big as five strong men lying flat, as a fifth-order beast, it is born with a kind of coercion, Duan Zhixuan felt the spiritual vibration brought by the phoenix spirit beast, and his steps shook slightly.
Li Shimin helped him and waved his hand to the person on the back of the phoenix spirit beast, the man stood up from the back of the phoenix spirit beast, he held the special five-dragon crossbow machine of the Tang Sect, wearing an earthy yellow animal skin armor, and he said loudly: "Li Gongzi, is it okay?"
Li Shimin said: "Please, Brother Xiao Yong, they have entered the back camp!"
Xiao Yong nodded to show that he understood, only to see that he blew the bamboo whistle on his chest, and with the sound, the thirty-nine phoenix spirit beasts below the cliff flew up together, and Xiao Yong raised the five-dragon crossbow machine in his hand.
"Tang Sect disciples obey orders!
Forty phoenix spirit beasts flapped their wings at the same time, and the wind pressure was as strong as a storm, so that Li Shimin and the soldiers of the guard battalion needed to run the yuan force to stand, and with a snap, the phoenix spirit beast flapped its wings and flew high, like an arrow that shot the sun, piercing straight into the sky, making a sound that broke the sky!
Seeing that the forbidden army was about to break through the last line of defense, they suddenly found that the situation had changed, and the leading captains of the forbidden army immediately turned their eyes to the sky, they saw the appearance of the phoenix spirit beast, and the joy of victory that had already emerged instantly dissipated, and they immediately ordered to shrink the formation and give up the fight with the soldiers of the Li family.
The soldiers of the Li family got a chance to breathe, and quickly relied on the high posts in front of the tent to arrange the last line of defense.
Under the swooping of the phoenix spirit beasts, the five dragon crossbow machines in the hands of the disciples of the Tang Sect were fired in unison, and the cyan arrow feathers fell from the sky, and the power of the dive was greatly increased with the help of the swoop, like a dense sky streamer shrouded towards the forbidden soldiers who entered the back camp!
This is Wei Wentong finally found himself on the list, the terrain of the Li family's rear camp is relatively narrow, the nearly three thousand soldiers stuck in it can't disperse at all, after the consumption of those damn crossbows, their shields have been basically broken, at this time in the face of the overwhelming attack from the air, the brave forbidden soldiers have become a flock of sheep to be slaughtered!
