Chapter 985: Capturing Nanyang Eight
"Captain Lei, you first carry out a tentative attack on completion!" Xi Zhicai said to Lei Bo: "Don't be reluctant, just try, once there are uncontrollable casualties, withdraw immediately, there is no need to fight to the death!" ”
"No!"
Lei Bo stood at the foot of the hall, his hands arched, and he received the order.
Now that the former master Yuan Shu has been completely defeated, he is afraid that he has no second way to go, so he can only follow the Minghou Mansion all the way to the end, so he is still very strong in terms of subjective fighting spirit.
Even if he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Xiangyang battalion was not very strong, but for the sake of merit and in order to be able to gain a foothold in the Minghou Mansion, he still went to fight for a reason
Knock knock knock!!!
A total of ten drum platforms were set up on the left and right, and the ten war drums sounded at the same time, and the war drums were as loud as thunder, one stronger than the other, and the overlapping sound waves condensed like ocean waves, heading towards the completion of the coverage, wanting to submerge Wancheng.
"They're attacking!"
At the head of the city, Huangfu Yin was dressed in military uniform, standing proudly, and his mood seemed very complicated.
Under his gaze, he looked at the shepherd soldiers and horses that appeared outside the city, relatively speaking, this amount of troops would definitely not be able to capture Wancheng, at most it was just a trumpet, but it made him a little frightened.
"Lord Taishou, is there any news from the general?"
Captain Zhou Song was wearing battle armor, holding a spear, looking at the black pressure under the city, and asked in a low voice.
"Nope!"
When Huangfu Yin heard this, there was a trace of bitterness on his face.
He's not stupid.
At first, you may think that your news will not be able to wear out, but there are no less than a dozen waves of scouts rushing out in a row, and there will always be all the way to Shouchun, but the main force in Guanzhong has not moved at all.
This made him a little uneasy.
Maybe......
He didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help it.
"Lord Taishou, the combat effectiveness of the pastoral army has always been strong, this is recognized by the world, I heard that their soldiers, at least every three days, or even daily training, such soldiers, there are very few in the world. Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers, discipline, or fighting spirit, it can be comparable to my Guanzhong Erlang, no, maybe it is still above us! Zhou Song said analytically.
"One practice a day, training like this, isn't the Minghou Mansion not afraid of reckless soldiers?"
Huangfu Yin was a little hard to believe.
When the world's soldiers, most of them are part-time, when they fight in peacetime, they are soldiers, and when they don't fight, they are productive forces, and there are few professional soldiers.
"Yizhou is the land of abundance, rich and extraordinary, they have enough food and straw to support!"
Zhou Song said: "And Yizhou could have raised more than 200,000 soldiers, but the pastoral army was less than 150,000 soldiers and horses. ”
"In addition, there is another point, that is, the weapons of the herdsman, unparalleled in the world, their simplest swords, basically are a hundred refining war knives, whether tenacious or sharp, are far beyond the weapons of our soldiers, many people in the world say that the iron-smelting process of the Minghou Mansion is known as the best at that time, this point, we can't compare, another ......"
He sighed and said softly: "If it's just this little bit of strength in front of you, no matter how strong they are, I have Wancheng as a barrier, they can't cross this barrier, we can stalemate with them for a month or two, but once the herdsmen choose to increase their troops, Wancheng's defense line is too long, our troops are too small, there is no way to form a covering defense, it is easy to find a breakthrough for them, once they only need to break through a gap, we will lose control of Wancheng!" ”
"All in all, this battle is very difficult to fight!"
Finally, Zhou Song summed it up.
"What you said, I know it, even if it's hard to fight, we have to hold on first, I'm a son in the middle, I don't have the habit of losing before fighting!" Huangfu Yin took a deep breath, put aside other emotions, concentrated, and coped with the situation in front of him, appearing more and more calm and calm: "Everything is mainly to defend Wancheng, you are responsible for the front line, I will preside over the city, I will recruit some young people as much as possible to assist you in defending the city." ”
"No!"
Zhou Song nodded.
By this time, the herdsmen under the city had advanced to a point of less than fifty paces, and then directly opposed the attack on the city wall.
"Archer!"
"Shoot!"
"Trebuchets, ballistas, push them all up!"
"Kill them!"
Under the personal command of Lei Bo, the Xiangyang battalion pushed some siege equipment to the city, and then launched a long-range attack.
Bows and arrows are covering.
And trebuchets, although the head is good, but there are still a lot of misses, but crossbow cannons, stone cannons, these emerging siege equipment play a lot of role, the city wall trembles.
"Defend!"
"Stay out of the way!"
"Find cover, don't get out of the way, try to stay defensive!"
The head of the city shouted in the exhaustion, and one by one the soldiers of Guanzhong also began to enter the defensive state, and those with shields raised their shields, or they looked for cover at the battlements of the city wall to protect their bodies.
The attack of the Xiangyang battalion, which lasted for nearly two hours, was long-range coverage, which consumed countless arrows and stone bullets, and naturally caused a lot of casualties to the Guanzhong army on the head of the city.
"They're so ruthless!"
"The shepherd's equipment is terrible!"
"If we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid that without their soldiers going into battle, we will already have broken our walls!"
One by one, the generals showed some fear, and their eyes became a little frightened when they looked at the city.
"I didn't expect to underestimate them!"
Captain Zhou Song held the spear in his hand stiffly, a pair of cold eyes flashed with a faint cold glow, and the flames of anger were already present on his face.
Nearly 100 casualties!
This was only a prelude to the attack, and the casualty was enough to make his heart ache for days.
"Prepare to fight to the death!"
Zhou Song looked at the herdsman who had begun to approach step by step, gritted his teeth suddenly, and said to the military marquis under his command.
"Withdraw!"
But the strange thing is that when the herdsmen crossed the range of attack, they suddenly withdrew backwards, like a tidal wave, covering it at once, and then retreating directly at once.
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
The herdsmen came and went quickly, their movements were the same, and they soon left the completed offensive line, withdrew from the sight of Wancheng, and withdrew into the camp.
"What does that mean?"
Zhou Songleng was stunned.
"Withdrawn?"
Huangfu Yin didn't know when he walked from the city to the city again, looking at the emptiness outside the city, his brows furrowed.
"The way he attacks is a little weird!"
Zhou Song thought for a while, and said to Huangfu Yin: "Lord Taishou, they actually don't seem to have the intention of attacking from beginning to end, it seems that they are just testing us!" ”
"Test us?"
"Test our troops, test our morale, and even test whether we have the intention of defending the city!" Zhou Song looked around and said, "I'm sure that the main force of the herdsmen army is in Wancheng, but they haven't attacked with all their strength for a long time, so they must have a plan!" ”
"What do you mean, that they are going to persuade them to surrender?"
"I don't know!"
"No matter what, I can't relax now, I must be more vigilant, no matter when, I must defend Wancheng!" Huangfu Yin thought about it and said in a deep voice.
"No!"
Zhou Song nodded.
