Chapter 54: The Death Battle

Tens of thousands of cavalry scattered in front of the two mountains, tens of thousands of men and horses, silent, feeling the killing aura on the opposite side, making people feel depressed when they look at it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the heart, Guo Wenying has always had an indescribable feeling about Wara, this is a nation with extremely tenacious vitality, wildfires are inexhaustible, spring breezes blow and regenerate, it seems that it will never be endless, and the use of force will never make them completely succumb, and they will be afraid for a while, and the comeback will come back. Just as the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the more difficult the living environment is, the more it can temper people's will, compared with the courageous and fearless spirit of others, the officers and men of the Northwest Army are all supported by the belief in protecting the family and defending the country.

And as soon as this belief falls, everything is over, in the end, Feng Jingting can bring so many people, and he still has the initial belief unshaken, it is really not easy.

After less than half an hour, a large number of troops began to appear at the pass, with cavalry in front and a large number of infantry carrying ladders and holding scimitars behind them.

Under Xu Hai's order, the soldiers of the Northwest Army have also occupied the head of the city, all the arrows and feathers are distributed everywhere, the steel crossbow and the big yellow crossbow of Yishui replace the position of the archers yesterday, the archers are all standing behind, everyone has a brick on their bodies, and their bodies are one piece higher than usual, one is afraid of being blocked by the steel crossbow, and the other is also condescending, and it is more advantageous to play the role of the bow and arrow.

The shieldbearers next to them were guarding, and to the right were the firecrackers, all of whom were in place for a while, and the cold wind blew their uniforms to the sound of hunting, which added a bit of majestic heroism. People can't help but sigh that the soldiers of the Northwest Army are still handsome!

On the city wall, Xu Hai, as the main general of the all-out war, stood in front of the first line of defense of the main city wall, Guo Wenying stood behind him, standing on the second line of defense across the city wall, and behind her were four personal guards, each carrying a knife and a firearm.

Today, the trebuchet is not filled with explosives, but a piece of stones of different sizes, yesterday it took a night, Guo Wenying asked the craftsman to make changes to the big bag of explosives, all made into a small bag, and asked the soldiers guarding the city to match one, seeing that the Warat people were coming up, they threw it at the bottom, which was much more lethal than throwing the whole bag.

However, these are the last bits of explosives left in the battalion, and if they run out, they will be gone.

Yesterday, the artillery fired indiscriminately, and there were a lot of discarded shells, and there were not many remnants, so I am afraid that after this day, it will not be enough to last another day. So if you fight again, it's likely to be a hand-to-hand fight.

There was silence on the top of the city, and the expression on everyone's face was solemn, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the movement under the city walls.

At the hour, there was a horn of "woo" in front of me.

The war drums at the head of the city beat slowly, and the battle to the death finally began.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the ground, and the army of the Warats rushed like a black tide, and the horns of the bulls blew "whining". The Warats changed from yesterday's wave onslaught and began to use formations, with crossbowmen and cavalry archers advancing in tandem.

The assault infantry were divided into groups of ten and thirty in groups, carrying eight-zhang long ladders, and behind each ladder there were also assault squads of twenty people, each holding a round scimitar and a shield.

"Kill!" a thousand people let out a loud roar and rushed towards Hirohito Pass.

At the head of the city, the steel crossbow and the rhubarb crossbow, as well as the car crossbow began to fire ten thousand arrows at once, fifty steel crossbows made a "click" sound, and at the same time a huge buzzing sound from the string penetrated the eardrum, a huge arrow more than a zhang long was wrapped in a strong wind, and an arrow could nail people and horses to the ground together, and shot at people could shoot through several in a row, which had a huge deterrent effect.

The Warat army did not linger in the slightest, and as the army continued to advance and shoot at different ranges, the archers began to mount their bows and arrows, and rows of bows and arrows were fired, followed by firebolts.

The arrows in the sky flew around, tearing the air and making a terrible and sharp scream, the fire array and arrow array on the side of Hirohito Pass had an overwhelming advantage over the enemy, as batches of arrows fell, the Wara people could not protect the whole body at all, some people should fall off their horses, and most of the arrows shot up were shot at the straw around the wall, and some were shot at the shield or shot at the city wall and were blocked back.

Under the city, the Warats continued to advance, more people came into range, and the archers on the city walls, alternating pairs, kept shooting down.

These men were extremely brave, one after the other, and there was a steady stream of soldiers and horses at the pass, and they rushed towards Hirohito Pass like locusts, and they did not know how to exhaust their strength in a large area.

Under the battlefield, it is like a huge meat grinder, black blood penetrates three feet underground, this kind of siege war is actually a war of attrition, and the gap between the enemy and me must be at least one to ten to barely take a city, completely relying on corpses layer by layer.

Varat continued to follow suit, and countless people rushed to the city, where they were shot by arrows.

At three o'clock, at last, a Warat soldier rushed to the bottom of the city, and the first ladder was erected on the top of the city.

Guo Wenying looked at the soldiers below, black and pressing, everywhere, and shouted, "Throw explosives." ”

Countless explosives were lit and thrown down, and huge explosions came and went, showing great power. Streaks of explosives exploded at their feet, heads, and bodies, and the flesh was a blur.

These bomb packs are not easy to control, a point is not good, and the city tower exploded before it was thrown down, and a few were injured at one time, which opened the way for the Warat people, although the people behind made up for it, it was still terrifying.

Guo Wenying couldn't bear to look at the Northwest soldiers who were injured and killed by the explosion, and asked Zhang Qiang to take someone to pick up the torch and spray it below, and the fire burned down, burning the clothes of the Warat people, like roasting pigs. Suddenly, many people rolled to the ground, letting out a series of screams.

The first batch of people who rushed up finally retreated, Guo Wenying looked up at the sky, the weather that had rained yesterday, the sky was blue and blue, revealing such a fresh breath.

She couldn't help but sigh, it was difficult to defend the city here, and it must be very difficult for Lu Huaidong to attack the city.

……

After two days and two nights of rapid marching, the 100,000 troops of the right army, which was known for its cavalry, finally arrived in Jingzhou City.

Warat gathered 150,000 to attack Yuren Pass, and 100,000 troops of Southern Qi came to Jingzhou.

The confrontation between the two armies is both a battle of wisdom and bravery, and it depends on who has the strongest means and who will be defeated first.

In the whole Jingzhou, only the east city gate is the widest, a straight and wide avenue leads directly to the city gate can accommodate a large number of cavalry to rush out, when the city was built, it was taken into account its military use, so there is no suspense that the east city gate will be the main battlefield of this battle.

At this moment, the city wall of Jingzhou is obviously full of heavy soldiers, and the tools for defending the city, as well as the rolling stones of the sassal wood, are also piled on it, and it is obviously completely prepared.
