Volume 2, The Name of Tianjiao 42, Death Zone
"Okay, the generals must work together next, since the enemy has a day and night siege, continuous planning, then our army must also be prepared for the coordinated defense between the armies, although there is the help of the fortifications, with the support of the archers in the back, but there is no defense in the world that cannot be attacked, especially why our defense is not a real city wall after all, so we must do a good job of fortifications can not withstand the enemy's attack, and the enemy's short soldiers are counted!"
Chen He also knew that the next was indeed a hard battle, one and a half million troops, definitely not a number, not to mention, even the soldiers under his command could rotate to defend, but the fortifications could not do this, after bearing the attack all the time, there must be a limit, once the attack reached the upper limit, it was the time when the fortifications were destroyed, and at that time, it was the real hard battle!
"Lord, my subordinates feel that since the enemy has decided to attack continuously, it is time to build a second line of fortifications, after all, there are too many enemies, and once the front loses the protection of the fortifications, the threat to us is too great, and we can't afford to change it!" Meng He suggested again, originally knowing that Chen He was preparing to defend and counterattack, he had made a lot of fortifications, but now he brought it in one go, in addition to the first fortification, two more powerful defensive lines can be built, so that with the help of fortifications, the enemy can be killed and injured to the greatest extent.
Meng He calculated that three fortifications were enough to drag down the opponent's 1.5 million army, and this was still the case when the opponent had archers before, and now that the opponent's attack has been wiped out, the third fortification may not be needed simply by fighting foot soldiers.
When Chen He was preparing to meet the attack, the army on the side of Wuyun City also completed the assembly, and began to move forward, according to their previous negotiations, from the warriors to the generals, the first wave of attacks, everyone had to take out half of the troops, as the first wave of consumption, they wanted to use this half of the troops, Chen He's soldiers' physical strength was consumed to the limit, and the arrows in the place were exhausted, or this wave could be the best directly, but they still did a good job in the second wave of attacks, anyway, the goal this time was, Directly bulldoze Liuyin Mountain.
It is impossible for the army of 200,000 to be completely spread out, and the first circle of battle formations is cultivated at a pass, which is also to limit the spread of the opponent's troops, after all, if the army of 1.5 million is really spread out, in front of the absolute strength, the fortifications are not enough.
And now, Chen He also divided the army into five teams, led by several generals respectively, he and Zhuang Buqi and Dong Wantu were not included in the array, but watched from the side, the three of them mainly watched how Meng He dispatched the army, if they command the army, because the three of them have no experience, the 200,000 army, for them, the mobilization is not an order, for them, it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to mobilize themselves, so they are all very serious to watch, In order to be able to personally command large-scale battles in the future.
And the army of Wuyun City, first broke the main general, and then was stolen from the camp, and then when they attacked the mountain, they found that because they thought that Chen He was just a general, they decided to bully him for not having archers, and for the speed of the march, they did not bring any engineering equipment, so they can only rely on human lives to fill it now, but fortunately, the other party is only a simple fortification, and the soldiers can climb it without the help of tools.
In fact, this is also the plan of the six generals, they are planning to fill Chen He's fortifications with human lives, and when there is no fortification to rely on, coupled with the exhaustion of the archers, it is the time for them to take Chen He in one fell swoop with the help of absolute strength advantage.
Although the morale of the army was not high, but under the urging of the commanders of the various armies, they still launched a desperate charge, and Chen He saw that Meng He was not in a hurry at all when he faced the charging enemy army, even if the soldiers were a little nervous, he still did not give the order, but waited until the charging enemy soldiers rushed to fifty meters in front of the fortifications, and then ordered 10,000 archers, and a wave of volleys.
Then, he did not continue to attack, because in the face of the whereabouts of tens of thousands of arrows, the charging Wuyun City soldiers fell down in a large area, and within fifty meters, only a few soldiers remained, and then rushed to the fortifications alive in the threatening house where there were no follow-up arrows.
However, after arriving in front of the fortifications, they were all helpless, and they had the intention to climb the fortifications, but there were too few people alive, and even if they climbed the fortifications, they were only killed, and if they didn't go up, they could only stare at the soldiers in the fortifications, and the people above could not attack them, and they could not attack the people above.
Tens of thousands of archers fired a volley, easily making the opponent's team charge a fault, and then when the soldiers who then charged reached the previous position again, Meng He waved his hand again, the second wave of volleys, and harvested again, and the soldiers who were also lucky to survive converged with the first wave of people who survived, and then continued to stare wide-eyed.
At this moment, suddenly a group of archers appeared in the crowd, and unlike the archers who formed a phalanx behind them, they shot independently, aiming at the soldiers who had survived by hovering outside the fortifications.
This is the sharpshooter trained by Meng He, the number is as many as thousands, at the beginning it was their continuous rain of arrows, the king of war was shot to death, and now in the face of a group of panicked ordinary soldiers, it is definitely one arrow, occasionally there are a few more arrows on the soldier's body, it is also because several marksmen aimed at him at the same time, after all, there are more monks and less porridge.
With two waves of salvo fire, the soldiers who continued to charge were dumbfounded, the fifty meters in front of them were like a forbidden place of death, which had swallowed thousands of people, do you really want to continue to rush forward, but the charge together cannot be terminated at will, so the soldiers in front have the intention to stop, but the soldiers in the back do not have an intuitive sense of sight, so they continue to charge, and the result is that the soldiers in front of them were directly pushed by the soldiers behind because they stopped, and then the army stepped on their bodies and continued to charge, trampling to death.
In the rear, the six generals saw that the short fifty meters had become a death zone, and their faces were also gloomy, they thought that the attack would be a little difficult, but it was so difficult that it still exceeded their expectations, but they had said before the charge that this was to fill the fortifications with human lives, so they could only continue to order, regardless of the casualties of the charge.
After the five waves of volleys, the charging soldiers began to encounter the second difficulty, because there were more and more soldiers who died in front, and the corpses in many places were stacked together, unable to cross easily, resulting in the soldiers behind having to cross the corpses significantly, coupled with the arrows inserted horizontally and vertically on the ground, which became an obstacle to their progress, causing the speed of their front charge to drop directly.
When the sixth wave of arrow rain fell, it was obvious that because the charging speed was slow, there were a lot more dead people than the previous waves, and there were more corpses piled up, and the soldiers in the back were more difficult to advance, and then more and more soldiers were piled up, and it became more and more like a forbidden place of death.
In this short horizontal 800 meters, 50 meters longitudinal, nearly 10,000 corpses covered the ground, and tens of thousands of arrows were inserted on the corpses, giving people the feeling that it was a creep, but this was not enough, when the opposing army still continued to charge.
Wu Yuncheng seemed to have decided to exchange the lives of the soldiers for the arrows and physical strength of the archers under Chen He's command, as the waves of soldiers fell on the way to charge, more and more luckily rushed to the wall, and then after being named by the marksman, Meng He suddenly said to a soldier next to him: "Raise the red flag!" ”
The soldier got the order, and immediately raised the red flag in his hand, but Chen He didn't understand what was going on for a while, a moment later, Meng He waved his hand again, and then another rain of arrows fell, once again destroying a charging soldier, the difference is that after the arrow rain fell, not only shot a large group of soldiers, but also because each arrow had flames on it, so the next moment a little spark was enough to set the prairie on fire, and it was Meng He who launched a rocket attack, and the fuel was the clothes and corpses of the soldiers outside.
Tens of thousands of corpses were instantly covered by rockets, and then a large area of flames rose up, directly blocking the attack of the army behind, and because of the fire, the soldiers in the distance also found that something was wrong, and they all stopped, and finally made the soldiers who charged in front of them not directly pushed into this fire.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the six generals under the mountain changed at the same time, they did everything they could, but they didn't count that there was such a hand on Chen He's side, this hand rocket attack, directly ignited the corpse, not to mention, the most important thing is that it also blocked the attack of the army, before the fire was extinguished, they didn't want to cross over, so they also cracked their plan to rely on human lives to open a gap.
"Damn, why should we be led by his nose, since there are no siege equipment, why can't we build some simple ones by ourselves first, here is in the mountains and forests, there are many trees, now let the soldiers go to logging, the simplest ladder, rushing the car, why can they still be made, it won't take a few days at all, and organize the soldiers, logging, making wooden shields, as long as the enemy's arrows can't cause a lot of damage to them, a simple defense, how can you stop the millions of troops!"
"Yes, what Brother Shen said is reasonable, why shouldn't they continue to be led by Chen He's nose! Although the lack of archers is their weakness, there are many of them, and as long as they can withstand the rain of arrows, they can still break through their defenses."
"Okay, anyway, you can't continue to attack now, so let the soldiers in the battalion go to cut down wood and make siege equipment!" The words of the general surnamed Shen were immediately approved by the others.
