Chapter 753 Ice City is full of blood, and the light cavalry is dusty
Wu Wei knew in his heart that if Xu Fei was not on the city wall now, the generals of the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side would inevitably be suspicious, so when he first attacked the military camp, he had to continue to prevent the other party from showing his suspicions.
Wait for the formation to unfold and the battle between the two sides is stalemate, and then this cavalry can be killed. This death squad is not going to move, and once it strikes, it must achieve the purpose of killing and injuring a large number of opponents' archers.
If this is not done, there will be less and less living force on the city walls, even if the military camp does not fall tonight, and the attack launched the next morning will be the end of this sweet water shop.
Looking at the way the formation of the Xiliang soldiers unfolded, you can know that the generals who led the troops of these Xiliang soldiers are all deeply versed in the art of war, and these formations are very careful when they are deployed, and those archers are now covered by the infantry on the side.
Only when the battle is stalemate will these reserves be used to rotate to attack the city defenses, and only then will the archers be completely undefended, and perhaps at this time the surprise attack of the hundred cavalry will be effective.
In fact, Wu Wei's tactics were also a last resort, and this mere hundred people seemed insignificant in the opponent's team of thousands of people. The horses, though in the best condition out of 300 horses, were not good horses.
The 100 officers and soldiers who pulled out the generals were not well-trained elites, and I am afraid that they had not fought a single battle in these years. Now it is really difficult for some strong people to kill these people into the enemy army dozens of times their own size.
But this is the last resort, and it can only be tried by fate.
When the two armies are fighting, many things cannot be deduced by common sense, and in some cases, if you don't give it a try, you don't know what the outcome of the matter will be. Wu Weijiu certainly understood this truth in the army.
He pinned all his hopes on Xu Fei, a supernatural young hero.
At this moment, Xu Fei's eyes revealed the light of victory, and the calm expression on his face made this veteran in the army a little ashamed.
It was the first time for them to go to the battlefield, but whether it was a confrontation with a strong enemy or an imminent charge, they couldn't see any emotional changes.
This is the mentality of a hero who is truly born to fight the world, and if he can survive this time, this young man's future in the army will definitely be limitless.
Although the arrows on the earthen wall rained down, and the ash bottles and stones kept falling, the Xiliang soldiers still began to attack in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the frosty energy, the entire barracks earthen wall is now covered in a thick layer of ice. The continuous sliding of those ladders greatly affected the efficiency of the Xiliang soldiers' attacks, but there was no panic when these elite attacks were made, and the fallen ladders were immediately replenished from behind.
The corpses and wounded soldiers who were shot were also passed from the ranks to the back, and the layers of shields in front of them were like impenetrable iron walls blocking most of the attacks falling from the sky.
Wu Wei has now seen through the methods of the Xiliang soldiers, so he does not let the soldiers come out of the battlements to attack, and they all hide behind the battlements and use spears and close-range city defense equipment as defense.
The five righteous sons under Li Meng's hands all rushed to the front with iron plates, but this time they did not climb up from the earthen wall. Because I knew in my heart that most of the five people were already injured internally, and it would be humiliating to fight on the city wall.
The reason why he stood under the city wall was just to contain the energetic people above, so that these masters would not be able to support back and forth on the earthen wall. But after Xu Fei knocked these four people down the earthen wall, Wu Wei had already asked Xu Fei in detail about the specific situation.
Knowing that with those few attacks, even if the opponent is prepared, it will never be safe and sound, and now I am afraid that only Xu Kuisong can maintain his combat effectiveness and fight, and the other few people are either injured internally, or their feet are broken, and their combat ability is greatly reduced.
Even that Xu Kuisong, now without the assistance of the dead man, his ability is greatly reduced. With Wu Wei's skills, he can fully cope with it. And the other four people down there are just putting on a show.
So when Xu Fei flew out of the city to raid the archers formation after a while, Wu Wei could barely cope with it with his military strength, and just now he also mobilized Zhou Yun to a place closer to the north earthen wall. With its extremely fast body, it can also come to support when it is most critical.
Under this arrangement, the guards of the earthen walls of the barracks could not be said to be foolproof, but they could also be generally unharmed. During the attacks of these Xiliang soldiers, those officers and soldiers tried not to lean out from behind the battlements to avoid being killed by arrows from a distance.
This situation was also unexpected by the Xiliang army, and after Chu Liancheng found out about this, he knew that the generals who were responsible for the defense had a lot of experience in the offensive and defensive battles of the city's defense. It is possible to predict the next attack simply by taking advantage of the change in formation when the team is assembled.
It seems that there is no shortage of generals who know how to lead troops in the Central Plains, but now the archers have been assembled, even those officers and soldiers try not to show their bodies as much as possible. However, when the officers and soldiers on the earthen wall were defending, their bodies were inevitably exposed.
As long as the arrows of your own archer team continue to fire, the efficiency of killing and injuring the opposing soldiers will only be weakened, and the goal can still be achieved.
I only heard a strange wind in the sky, and a rain of arrows was thrown down from mid-air, and the archers selected by those Xiliang soldiers were very outstanding, and most of the arrows thrown fell within the range of the earthen wall.
Many officers and soldiers armed with spears were fending off the enemy soldiers who climbed up the wall, and for a time there was a scream on the earthen wall, and many officers and soldiers fell from the wall.
Although the opponent's arrow projectile was not hurried, or even dense, it was like a continuous rain of death falling from the sky.
But the enemy was about to climb the wall, and the officers and soldiers, under the protection of shield bearers, lined up with spears in a desperate line to resist. The two armies fought to a very tragic point, and soldiers on both sides kept making their last screams before dying.
Wu Wei's face sank like water, and he stood on the wall with an iron rod in his hand, like a statue of an immovable god of war. He was not looking at the battle that was now raging on the earthen wall, but at the reserves in the distance that were guarding the flanks of the archers.
Only when these teams also stepped forward to attack the city defense, did Xu Fei's death commando have a chance.
There were more and more dead and wounded soldiers on both sides of the earthen wall, and the blood flowed down the white and crystal ice city, and was frozen into blood-colored ice cubes, and the snow-white ice city was now covered with thin ice frozen into blood, almost becoming a blood city.
In this tragic offensive and defensive battle, it was a confrontation of physical strength, will, and courage on both sides, everyone did their best, Chu Chu's face became more and more pale, and Zhou Yun's body was not as fast as the wind at the beginning.
However, the formation responsible for guarding the flanks of the archers remained unchanged.
Chu Liancheng also felt extremely shocked when he saw this blood city, he didn't expect these old and weak soldiers to have such combat effectiveness, this kind of corpse mountain and sea of blood can't scare these people, it seems that the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains can't be taken lightly.
After all, with the geographical advantage of the earthen wall ice city, those officers and soldiers had already formed a shield spear formation to deal with the attacking Xiliang soldiers. For a while, the casualties of the Xiliang army on the wall were very heavy, and the bodies of the dead and wounded Xiliang soldiers who fell from the wall were stacked in a pile.
Chu Liancheng saw that the formation of the frontal impact began to be a little scattered, and his morale was already low, and he finally sent a signal. The formation responsible for guarding the flanks of the archers immediately moved forward, and the formation changed very naturally, and after a short time it took the place of the front of the attack.
The retreating weary divisions had to move to the flanks of the archers to take over the responsibility of guarding the archers. And this moment of alternating formations is the best opportunity to strike!
Wu Wei didn't speak, just raised the iron rod in his hand.
Exactly the signal for a cavalry assault!
