Chapter 205: The Light Opens to the Sun (3)
Qi Tianzi was beside him, and there was only one servant, who was blowing a copper whistle in his mouth and waving a flag in his hand.
Seeing the banner he waved, the city ordered the soldiers to gallop out, and a certain byte of urgency came out of his mouth, and a battalion of tigers who had been waiting at the north gate immediately rolled out like a cloud, and then the defenders at the city gate quickly hoisted the drawbridge and closed the city gate.
Outside the north gate, the sound of killing immediately shook the sky.
The left flank of the Qin army that came to attack the northern city, each of them, was a spear, three bows, four crossbows, and three, that is, a hundred people, thirty spearmen, forty archers, and thirty crossbowmen, and five were all one command, usually one commanded five hundred people to form a formation, and the usual combat method was that the spearmen resisted the opponent's cavalry or melee troops in front, and the archers and crossbowmen shot in the rear.
However, when the city was attacked by detouring to the north, the formation was inevitably loose, and the heavy cavalry in the city rushed out in the wind, and the middle road was immediately scattered.
Han Chongyun, the commander of the left wing of the Qin army, roared angrily, and the various commanders hurriedly formed a formation.
But a commander in the middle of the lane was already rushed by the tiger heavy cavalry at this moment, and in the wailing of the stragglers, he was poked all over the ground by the heavy cavalry spear.
However, the rest of the commanders formed an extremely fast formation, and countless scattered arrows were fired.
The tigers were not in love with war at all, and a charge was already far away, and arrows were shot into the clearing.
These hundreds of tigers arrived in the distance to dial their horses, and immediately dispersed into dozens of squads, looking for an opportunity to flank a Qin army's 500-strong formation back and forth.
Han Chongyun saw the opportunity quickly, and in his roar, the two five-hundred-person formations gradually converged, approaching the two five-hundred-person teams carrying ladders and other climbing equipment, and several wedge-shaped teams of tigers who were about to sprint in this direction slowed down and slowly returned.
But at this time, the left flank army of the Qin army wanted to make room for the siege, which was obviously impossible.
King Qin in the battle of Bianjing, lost almost all the elite cavalry, although to Qin, and many to buy good horses, and even from the Dingyan army party to buy good horses to this day has not been paid off, Rao is so, the cavalry in the Qin army is still relatively expensive, now concentrated in the middle of the road, and is also entangled with the two battalions of archers in front of the palace of Qi Tianzi.
It was a battlefield on the north road, a little strange for a while, the left wing of the Qin army, all infantry, but wanted to attack the city, five hundred tigers in front of the palace of Qi Tianzi, all heavy cavalry, but it was the defender of the city, harassing the Qin army, making it impossible to attack the city.
In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate.
……
"Kill!" In front of Xicheng, an even more deafening shout of killing sounded.
Rows of wooden planks fell on the trench, raising countless yellow dust, the Qin army's shield soldiers were in front, protecting the soldiers carrying the cloud ladder, and the archers and crossbowmen were behind, desperately shooting bows and arrows on the city wall, and in the sound of killing, they gradually approached the city wall under the west city wall.
Whoosh, there are bows and arrows flying in their ears from time to time, Li Dayi and Liu Mo, like all the soldiers, are sitting behind the battlements of the city wall, and they are also swishing outward to shoot arrows, and the rest of the troops, most of them are the same, desperately pulling the bow and shooting arrows, but naturally it is not to look at people to shoot, the feet are full of arrows, and they shoot outward when they catch them, which cares about the east and west.
Rao is like this, a rain of arrows parabolic obliquely pierced the outside of the city, and from time to time there were Qin soldiers screaming and falling.
Above the city tower, the arrows in Lu Ning's hands were like beads, swishing, every arrow flew out, and there were soldiers under the city screaming and falling.
His whole body was covered with thin armor, even his feet were covered, and the distance was not close, and the other party did not have an arrow that could hurt him, so he only needed to dodge the arrow that shot in the direction of his cheek.
"Poof", Li Da's arm was cold, and then a sharp pain came, and when he looked sideways, his arm had been hit by an arrow, and then the pain from his brain made him sigh and fall to the ground.
He had just caught the arrow and drew his bow, and when he shot outward, he naturally could no longer lean his back against the wall, but had to turn around and give way to the angle, at this time, within the range of the Qin army's archers' arrows, Li Dayi was also hit by the arrow at this time.
Li Dayi was about to struggle back against the wall, when a rain-like arrow flew in from outside the wall, and suddenly one of the arrows came in front of him, and he just had a thought, I'm going to die!
With a "ding", an object stood in front of him, and an arrow shot at this thing.
Li Dayi was stunned, looking intently, but in front of him was a red rattan card, the fragrance hit, Li Dayi turned his head to look, the owner of the jade hand wrapped in silver armor was a female general with silver armor, heroic, majestic, look carefully. In fact, the female general has fair skin, duck egg face, and starry eyes, which is very beautiful.
Li Dayi's heart beat violently, and he hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look at it again.
With a movement of his arm, he was already pulled up by the beautiful general and dragged behind the wall.
"You can do it yourself, right?" Liu Mo on the side asked loudly, Li Dayi nodded hurriedly, pulled out a strip of cloth from his waist, and tied the top of the wound on his arm to stop the bleeding, which is also a new thing after becoming a Qi army, everyone has some small things, and they can temporarily deal with the wound, so as not to cause big problems because of small wounds.
Seeing that he could move, Liu Mo no longer paid attention to him, and continued to mechanically repeat the action of leaning against the wall, pulling the bow and arrows, turning around and taking two steps back, shooting outward, and then leaning back against the wall.
Maybe the war is really numbing, Liu Mo's eyes were blood-red, and he didn't even pay attention to the silver-armored female general who walked by Li Dayi's side.
Li Dayi treated the wound, bending the bow and shooting arrows is not able to use the strength, one arm pulled out the steel knife, ready to wait for the opponent on the ladder frame, and the other party when he climbed the city, which also made him have time to look around, but after seeing the battlements, there were already some corpses that had fallen from arrows, and there were several wounded soldiers, who were picked up by the female general who was walking slowly and threw them to the wall battlements, the beautiful woman put her whole body through the armor, a pair of fiery red rattan cards hung on her arms, and she was not too afraid of the arrows shot by the other party, she walked all the way and walked towards the direction of the city tower.
Who's this? Li Dayi was confused for a while.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers was heard in his ears, and there was a painful scream outside the city, Li Dayi was stunned, but he saw the archers standing up one by one, holding a bow behind the battlements and shooting arrows, he was also busy struggling to get up, standing behind the battlements and looking down.
But in front of the trench outside, a sea of fire suddenly ignited, blocking the Qin army in the rear from continuing to move forward, and the Qin soldiers on this side of the sea of fire were in a panic, and there were Qin soldiers who were on the fire when the fire was ignited, and they fell down and howled in pain.
Squeak, the city gate opened, the tiger camp rode out like a heavy horse, and the Qin soldiers under the city wall in the sea of fire immediately became lambs to be slaughtered, which was already chaotic, and at this time they were chopped melons and vegetables, and under the heavy cavalry spear, there was no room for resistance at all.
By the time the fire had become smaller, the tiger had galloped back to the city, and the city gate was closed again.
Under the city wall, hundreds of corpses of the Qin army were lying horizontally and vertically.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the rear immediately stagnated in the offensive, and the soldiers who were originally in the front row were a little afraid and did not dare to rush over again.
"Bang", Lu Ning jumped down from the city tower and landed beside Zhi Saihua, sighing: "I just don't want you to see this." ”
Fierce fire oil, that is, the oil of later generations, mixed with gunpowder and hay, was coated with a wide layer in front of the trench, black, and it was impossible to see what it was, and Lu Ning ignited it with a rocket.
The fierce fire oil had just reached Middle-earth, and it had not received enough attention, and it would be a few decades before it became the main tool used by the Central Plains army for fire attack.
But Lu Ning naturally used it early, and a lot of transactions came from the Champa city-states in southern Vietnam, all of which were at the average price of cabbage.
In this expedition to Qin, the fierce fire oil of the army in front of the palace was very sufficient, and it was no problem to paint it from the trench to the city wall in this war.
However, Lu Ning felt that this tactic was too tragic, so he only slipped a slip to block it, that is, although the soldiers under the city wall would still be killed after all, dying under the heavy cavalry spear was much more humane than the pain of being burned alive with fire.
Rao is like this, and Lu Ning doesn't want Concubine Xian to see this scene.
Moreover, killing people on the battlefield, although Concubine Xian is afraid that she has heard and witnessed it since she was a child, Lu Ning does not want her to participate in the fight on the battlefield in the future, even if she is very capable, she is a girl after all, she likes to fight in battle, practice behind the scenes, and tinker with fresh ordnance.
Therefore, Lu Ning originally wanted her to stay in the Assassin's Mansion, but she still came after all.
However, Lu Ning knew her, so he must have panicked, and smiled: "Since you're here, let's watch the battle!" ”
Seeing that the Qin army under the city wall was slaughtered, the Qin soldiers on the other side of the trench shrank back, and the city wall was full of cheers.
