Chapter 297: The Elite of the Enemy
When Li Shimin first arranged the camp, in order to let all the eight-armed siege crossbows not be disturbed and give full play to the firepower, he deliberately arranged all the giant crossbows behind the walled wall, and used the shooting holes left to hit the enemy.
However, this method, although it can be used to unscrupulously attack the enemy in front of you during battle, the maximum elevation and maximum depression angles of the crossbow arrows are also limited
When those primeval dragons hid behind the skeletons and beast bones, their heavy crossbow arrows were helpless against them.
Even if these eight-armed siege crossbows can pierce through more than a hundred corpse soldiers and more than a dozen desolate beasts with a single shot, they still can't hurt those ancient desolate dragons in the slightest.
And without heavy crossbow arrows as the main attack, except for a few dozen or so who are proficient in archery and have cultivated to a strong divine marksmanship, the rest of them pose very little threat to the ancient desolate dragon.
At this time, without Li Shimin's orders, the archers on the city wall and the arrow tower spontaneously changed their targets. In addition, most of the soldiers in the camp were put together temporarily, and it was almost impossible to talk about a salvo.
Only a small number of elites in the Great Cause Hall and Xuanjiadu still obeyed the orders of the chief and insisted on shooting in three stages.
The purpose of this method of shooting is not to create more damage, but to prevent the enemy from getting closer.
But even if it was thousands of war bows, sixty eight-armed siege crossbows, and sixteen trebuchets in the camp, all the cathartic firepower was exhausted. Still couldn't stop it, and the huge Yin army that came like mountains and seas flooded the second layer of the trench completely.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips. I thought that this skeleton corpse soldier was really good enough,
If it is a normal attack, where can such a barbaric method be used? It can be replaced by corpse soldiers, and there is no need to care about losses at all, and they will go straight to the pile of things.
In this short period of time, they had at least smashed more than 10,000 skeleton corpses, as well as hundreds of desolate beast bones.
But the number of the Yin army is still huge, and it looks like a sea of bones from a distance. And because the two sides are closer, the momentum is more and more fierce and terrifying,
"Li Zhige, how is this good?"
Zhuang Shicheng's legs were already trembling slightly, and he had to hold on to the windowsill next to him to be able to stand firm - this guy was also born in embroidered clothes, and his cultivation strength was also very good, he was a third-grade martial arts cultivator, but it turned out to be an embroidered pillow.
Yu Wenshi glanced at Zhuang Shicheng with disdain, and then he also fought with his upper and lower jaw teeth, and asked in a somewhat trembling voice: "Virusha, tell me the truth, can you hold it this time?"
He tried his best to make himself more composed, but he failed. I thought that if I couldn't hold this place, I would have to think about how to safely withdraw the three imperial grandsons and the little princess to the Chinese army.
Li Shimin shook his head: "I can guarantee that if it's just these Yin Army, there will be no problem." ”
There was a bit of contemplation on his face, and his eyes looked behind him from time to time.
The eldest grandson Wuji knows him best, knowing that Li Shimin really didn't take the tens of thousands of Yin troops in front of him in his eyes, but what he was worried about was the back camp where the three emperors and grandsons were.
Just from this arrangement of Li Xiaoji and Tang Yuanhua, you can know what this person cares about the most.
The former and the two elders of Zhenfu have always stayed at the commanding heights in the camp, that is, the top of their watchtower. On all sides there were protective walls made of more than a dozen steel plates up to an inch thick, superimposed on top of each other, with dozens of shooting holes left around them. can allow Li Xiaoji and the three of them to suppress all directions in the camp without dead ends under the solid protection.
And Tang Yuanhua has been staying in the back camp since the beginning of the battle, guarding the three emperors and grandsons without leaving half a step.
Li Shimin even put his 150 guards back in front of the tent of Yang Qi, the king of Yan, after the reinforcements arrived.
"Are you worried about the back?"
Yu Wenshi also saw Li Shimin's abnormality, he was a little relieved, and said with doubts: "No, there are many people guarding behind." On the side of the Chinese army's imperial camp, there are also people taking care of it. As long as there are no problems with this camp, there should be no need to worry about security. ”
He suspected that even if that quasi-god-level evil appeared, it might not be able to do anything to these three emperors.
"But I was thinking that the guy who made this conspiracy must have realized that they couldn't rely on these Yin troops to take this camp during the night. ”
Li Shimin pondered: "But even so, they still have to attack, and they don't hesitate to put those one hundred and fifty primeval desolate dragons into it, there must be a reason." Aren't you weird?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenshi couldn't help but be stunned for a while: "So you suspect that they will start from other places, right?"
"That's right!"
The corners of Li Shimin's lips raised slightly: "Didn't you see with your own eyes the reason why the right rear camp was breached?
"Somehow—"
Ke Yu Wenshi thought to himself where was the disaster that could overturn them? Those dragon blood war puppets? The loyal hidden guards cultivated by the Great Sui Imperial Family? Or, the palace guards around the three emperors-the latter is also unlikely, this is not to say that these people can guarantee loyalty and reliability, but after Li Shimin obtained the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and obtained the full power to command all the guards of the three princes of the Yan Yue Dynasty, he did not hesitate to pull them all to the front. He turned to his own personal guards to defend the king's tent.
It is said that there is no problem, but once something goes wrong with the three emperors and grandsons, the consequences are really unimaginable-
Thinking about this, Yu Wenshi was not only worried. The eldest grandson Wuji disagreed: "But I think that your arrangement in the back camp is thorough enough, and it is useless to worry about it at this time,"
"Makes perfect sense, but—"
As Li Shimin was talking about this, the Zhuang Zhangshu next to him was already crying with a little crying: "Everyone, everyone! These bones are almost killed in front of you, how can you still have the heart to talk about the back camp?"
Just as they spoke, the huge Yin army once again advanced to the last trench at the cost of paying a full 3,000 skeleton corpses and more than 200 desolate beast bones being scattered. And seeing that this layer of trenches will also be filled directly.
Li Shimin glanced at it calmly, and then said to the array altar not far away: "Zhang Zhenjun, you can do it!"
Although he was talking to Zhang Kongming, the Five Thunder God Lie Zhenjun, he was looking at Zhang Yurou, the 'stargazer'.
The latter pursed his lips and reluctantly threw an apricot-yellow flag in his hand above the array.
Zhang Kongming took this thing in his hand, but he didn't use it at the first time, but cherished the abnormal caress of this flag?
"This is the Taiwu Apricot Yellow Flag? This thing appeared in the Jiangnan Black Market a year ago, and my senior brother in charge quoted 3.5 million yuan, but he still couldn't take it down, which made him regret it very much. ”
When Zhang Yurou heard this, she snorted proudly: "It's just to borrow it from you, don't get dirty!"
"Little girl!"
Zhang Kongming smiled dumbly, and then rolled up the Ling Flag, put it on his shoulder, put it on his shoulder, and raised it with one hand, and read words in his mouth.
"Primitive Anzhen, tell all souls; Yue blasphemy the true official, up and down only gods, left and right, no surprise; return to the right path, clarify inside and outside; each position is safe, guard the front of the altar; shake away from Kandui, praise and help the generals. Qiankun Genxun, tiger and dragon soar. The Great Refuge Avenue, Yuan Henry Zhen, is as urgent as the law!"
As a cloud of apricot-yellow light lit up around the altar, outside the camp, there was a sudden roar like the sky collapsing, and countless smoke and dust swept up.
On the top of the watchtower, Yu Wenji looked closely, and saw that the land in front of the first ditch had collapsed. There was a deep pit with a radius of two miles and a depth of more than five zhang. And the Yin army in front of the trench was all lost, including tens of thousands of skeleton corpses, two thousand desolate beast bones, and some ancient desolate dragons, all of which fell directly into it.
He couldn't help but open his mouth wide, barely closing his jaw: "Virusha, when are you—"
Yu Wenshi suspected that this was another deep pit dug by Li Shimin before the war.
He felt that this guy was simply not human-
However, the latter seemed to see his thoughts, and immediately shook his head slightly: "Don't think about it, I can't be so powerful." This is all my dedication to the stars and stars. The Taiwu Apricot Yellow Flag is indeed extraordinary, and with Zhang Zhenjun's cooperation, one hour is enough to complete this matter. ”
"I see!"
Yu Wenshi was relieved and relieved. It's stressful to make friends with someone who knows everything like a god.
As for what Li Shimin said about stargazing, he knew what was going on. The daughter-in-law of Zhang Zhongjian's family is now hiding in Li Shimin's courtyard - this is almost an open secret among those who are familiar with Li Shimin.
"But I look at the next battle, there is still a lot of trouble. ”
After all, in front of them, those primeval desolate dragons had almost no loss, and even the bones of the desolate beasts that fell, the vast majority of them were unharmed.
Only the skeleton corpse soldier who was originally like a tide and a sea, because of the fragility of his body, was directly shattered in this earth-shattering accident.
"Viruja's arrangement, naturally, is more than that!"
Eldest Sun Wuji sneered: "If they use conservative tactics to attack the left rear battalion, we won't have much to think about, but now-"
Just as he fell, the trebuchet behind him had fired again. However, this time it was no longer a stone that came out, but a large amount of broken wood, concentrated near the original first trench.
At this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army on the city wall also threw out leather bags filled with fire oil and a large number of sandalwood.
It was true that there was not much oil left, only forty bags, but that was enough.
Zhang Kongming threw the Taiwu apricot yellow flag in his hand back to Zhang Yurou directly, and recited the spiritual words in his mouth again.
