Chapter 11: The Attack (2) *Asking for Flowers*
The person in charge of the lookout in Yangjiazhuang discovered the thief in time to attack from the front, and after the old lady observed from behind the wall, he pretended to be righteous and issued an order: "All archers go to the wall, prepare!" The other two sides continue to observe! "There are only 500 archers left in Yangjiazhuang, and 300 of them quickly climbed up to the station behind the wall.
The 300 archers used the Scottish longbow, which Rihito had carefully developed through the memories of his previous life, and the longbow was simple and powerful, and could penetrate shields and simple armor made of wood and animal skins within 300 paces of ordinary arrows. In addition to making the longbow, Rihito also equipped it with a special rotating arrow, which fires more accurately and penetrating than ordinary arrows, making the longbow reach a range of nearly 400 paces.
Moreover, Liren also experimented, but the longbowman could participate in the battle through simple training, and the rate of fire was also comparable to that of the previously developed Zhuge crossbow. In fact, the main reason is that Rihito is developing rapidly, and the production of weapons that are too advanced is too slow and expensive. Longbows are now easy to craft and use less money.
The thief army outside the wall approached quickly, and Pan Ren, who was riding on a horse and following closely behind the thief army, had already seen from a distance that there were not many people on the wall, and felt that the people he led should soon be able to capture this worthless Yangjiazhuang.
Pan Ren was even more rampant, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, there are not many of them, run faster, the gold, silver and jewels in it will soon be ours!" ”
~~~ Kneel and beg for flowers! Collection! Thank you! ~~~
When all the thieves heard the big leader say this, they all rushed to the high courtyard wall of Yangjiazhuang as if they had taken a large dose of stimulants.
Seeing that their eldest brother had attacked, Pan Pu and Pan Ding began to want to attack as recklessly as their eldest brother. But Pan Ding thought about it, and was still very unsure of Yangjiazhuang's strength, so he made up his mind to take a look. Pan Pu is still simple, he knows that Pan Ding usually thinks about everything, and the words that stimulate the eldest brother on the road are just to have a way to explore. So both of them stood still and sent spies to observe whether the big brother's attack went smoothly this time.
Pan Ren saw that he had rushed to within 300 steps of the courtyard wall, and then saw that the Yang family had not moved. When I was secretly excited. Hundreds of people stood up from the courtyard wall, with bows they had never seen before, aiming at the men in front of them.
The old lady, who had been observing behind the courtyard wall, saw that the thief army had reached 260 steps away, and immediately gave a decisive order: "Archers prepare ~~~~!" 250 steps! ~~Put!! ”
The person who rushed to the front of the thief army saw waves of arrows raining down in the sky, because he was a sword and shield hand, so he naturally picked up an iron shield wrapped in cowhide to block his body. But before they could begin to rejoice in blocking the bow and arrow. Just listen to the continuous "Oops~!" Damn~! Yes! ~~~" The shout was followed by the sound of rows of thieves falling to the ground. All the sword and shield hands reacted, and their shields did not work at all. Many of the timid ones immediately threw down everything in their hands, turned around and ran back. But if you run back, you have to run past the bow and arrow, and many people have a lot of arrows stuck in their bodies, and their heads are lying in the direction they came from, and they will never get up.
If you run alone, the team will not be chaotic, but the archers behind the sword and shield men saw that these people, who usually claimed that they had never been shot in battle, fell one after another, and let out a screaming scream from their mouths. And these sword and shield bearers who were not shot threw down their weapons and shields that they usually boasted about, and all turned around and ran.
The archers thought that they did not even have armor, and they were sent to death in vain. It is also to take advantage of his innate advantage to be light, turn around and run. When the whole team was in chaos, the back was rushing forward, and the front was fleeing for their lives.
Pan Ren's happy heart was immediately shocked by the voice coming from the front, and waited for him to react from the shock. What I saw was my own people, retreating like a tide. Pan Ren just didn't believe that a small Yangjiazhuang would have such a powerful bow and arrow, and ruthlessly cut off the two subordinates who fled first as an example, but he still couldn't stop the tide of more than 2,000 people retreating. I had no choice but to turn the horse's head and be forced to retreat by my men who were frantically fleeing for their lives.
Soon, all kinds of screams came from the ranks of the fleeing thieves, and everyone felt that the screams were coming from their side. After hearing a scream, everyone just prayed in their hearts, "The Jade Emperor, such as the Buddha, the Guanyin who saves the suffering." Bless don't on me. ”
The old lady behind the wall saw a few thieves in full armor and riding war horses, who had just hacked to death the two people who were the first to flee, and were forced to turn their horses' heads by the tide of deserters. The old lady concluded that there must be a leader of the thief army here, and immediately issued an order to the longbowmen on the wall: "The first squad immediately greets the man on the horse!" Shoot him off for me! ”
At the moment when the old lady issued the order, two consecutive waves of arrow feathers pierced the sky like meteors and pierced the thieves who had just turned the horse's head. One of Pan Ren's guards who followed closely suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound behind him, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and kicked Pan Ren under the horse with one kick.
Pan Ren fell to the ground in embarrassment, trying to find out who kicked him just now. When he got up from the ground and looked at it, he was dumbfounded, only to see that all the guards in full armor had at least dozens of arrows stuck in their bodies, and those who were already dead could not die again.
Now the thieves felt that although they were only a short 200 steps away from the beginning of the charge, they had become thousands of steps or even never going back.
Pan Ren was embarrassed to use the lives of his men as his shield to narrowly escape, and even so, he still had an arrow feather stuck in his arm.
When the thieves retreated to a distance of 300 paces, the old lady ordered to stop shooting so that he could save some strength for follow-up. Pan Ren finally retreated to the starting position, and only then did he dare to look back to check the casualties of his men.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Pan Ren, who came back from the panic, suddenly gasped. In the short distance of 50 paces, there were corpses with arrow feathers everywhere, horses and people who had not yet penetrated were still struggling and screaming, and the bright red blood had already stained the ground within 50 paces. Seeing everything in front of him, Pan Ren felt that everyone's screams were still echoing in his ears. In the end, by counting the original living subordinates, at least 1,000 people fell forever.
The more people fell, the more resentful Pan Ren felt in his heart, thinking that a small Yangjiazhuang would let himself lose his troops. I thought that no one had carried out the plan I had agreed with my two younger brothers just now, and I was the only one to die. Immediately sent someone to call his two good brothers, Huo Da and asked, "Third brother, fourth brother, why didn't you attack just now?" Seeing me almost killed alone? What do you mean exactly? Say! With Pan Ren's roar, the pine table was halved.
Pan Pu said unconvinced: "Big brother, you have to make it clear that when you first came, you didn't ask us to attack together. It's your own heart that is too anxious. Now that you've lost your troops, you're blaming us again! ”
Pan Ren was suddenly furious by his third brother, and roared loudly: "This is your reason, do you watch your own eldest brother go to death like this, instead of supporting." Damn, you want me to die first, today I'll cut you first! Pan Ren roared while thinking about whether the third brother wanted to let himself die first, and he was so divided into the glory and wealth that he was about to get. So he drew his saber and made a gesture to slash at Pan Pu.
Pan Ding didn't look right, and hugged the eldest brother from the side. Persuaded: "Big brother, why is this difficult? Don't fight among your own brothers, outsiders see the jokes. Besides, it's not that you don't know that the third brother has such a mouth, and it's not worth it to be angry with him. ”
Pan Pu saw that the eldest brother was really going to kill him, and he was just beating the drum in his heart, and hurriedly smirked twice on the side and said, "Hehe! Big brother, you also know that I am such a person, with a mouth and no intentions. Hehe, don't be angry, it's a brother who shouldn't be like this. I'll smack myself in the mouth, and you'll be discouraged. With that, Pan Pu twitched his face lightly twice.
~~~ Kneel and beg for flowers! Collection! Thank you~~~
Pan Ren was also frightened by the scene on the battlefield just now, so he found something to be angry and courageous. Seeing that his younger brother had admitted his mistakes to himself like this, he pretended that his anger had not subsided, threw the knife, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all my brother." He walked back to the back seat of the rotten table, pointed to the arrow wound on his arm, and then pointed to the arrow feather that had fallen to the ground but was placed on the table just now and asked Pan Ding: "Fourth brother, have you ever seen such an arrow feather?" ”
Pandin picks up the arrow feathers from the ground that had been cut into two sections to heal his eldest brother's wounds. After looking left and right, he said to Pan Ren: "Big brother, I have never seen such an arrow feather, it is longer than an ordinary arrow, and it is heavier than an ordinary arrow. Moreover, the shape of the arrow seems to be made to make the arrow feather rotate in the air, much like the armor-piercing arrows used by the army, but not like the arrow feathers used in the horn bow of the general army. Combined with the distance mentioned by the eldest brother, in my opinion, I am afraid that it was researched by Yang Jiazhuang himself. Pan Pu was curious to come over and take a look, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know the difference between arrows and arrows.
Pan Ren nodded: "The fourth brother's analysis is right, but if we want to attack, we have to break through the arrow rain blockade of Yangjiazhuang, I don't know what method the fourth brother has?" ”
Pandin sat in his chair and thought about it repeatedly. slapped his thigh and said excitedly to Pan Ren: "Big brother, there are many trees around, we can cut down trees, and then directly use logs to make a special anti-arrow vehicle for the Yang family's bow and arrow." Let's find someone to try again, one floor won't work to two floors. What do you think, big brother? ”
"Clever plan, it's really worthy of my Pan family's people who have studied for a few years." Pan Ren thought of blocking Yangjiazhuang's bow and arrow with an anti-arrow car, and the fear and irritability in his heart waved away, and after laughing. Immediately ordered his men to cut down trees to make anti-arrow carts.
