Chapter 233: The City Gate Was Blasted Open!
Yan Ying then understood that Sun Wu's siege tactics were like this, in the past, Wu Jun's arrows were generally used as weapons to defend the city, and no one thought that they would use it to attack the city, and Yan Ying naturally did not expect that arrows could be used in this way.
Thinking of defending the city, Yan Ying hurriedly said: "What about the archers, now that you have earned so many arrows, you don't need to shoot them out, there is no need to be so accurate, first see where Wu Bing is, and then shoot towards that place, save some money, and quickly use arrows to fight back!" "The archers of the Vietnamese army in the city were driven up to the city wall, and brought arrows, and began to shoot arrows in a hurry where there were many Wu soldiers
More than a dozen crossbows under the city began to counterattack, Yan Ying lay on the battlements and looked out of the city, waiting for the rain of Yue Guo arrows to fall into the main position of the Wu army, and felt a little relieved, the arrows shot above were naturally farther than the Wu soldiers below, and they could finally fight back.
But after these arrows fell one after another, most of them only shot nearly a mile away, and they were still far away from the Wu army's camp, although a few shot a little farther, shooting two miles away, but the arrows bounced on the ground a few times, and then rushed forward dozens of steps, and finally rolled into the trench in front of the Wu army's formation.
There are also crossbows in the city, with a range of only nearly two miles, and there are a few better crossbows with a range of only two miles, which cannot pose a threat to Wu Guoshuai's camp at all. "The Art of War: Offensive and Defensive Tools": "With a shot of his teeth, all arrows rose together, and seven hundred steps." The city fortress in the center was all destroyed, and the building was also upside down. It is called a crossbow. “
The archery battalion brought the best crossbows to the city wall this time, and it was easy to shoot two miles away, Yan Ying was very proud, it was only a matter of time to hold this city, and this bow and arrow battalion was won!
The arrows of Wu's bow battalion are still constantly firing into the city, and the city gate is almost unbearable, and dozens of holes have been smashed out of Wu's crossbow in the middle of the city gate, and there are huge cracks around the city gate. With such a heavy city gate, it can't compete with Wu Guo's crossbow?
A quarter of an hour later, a soldier came to report to Zigong, who remained in the city: "General, the gates of the city have been blasted open!" Zigong saw it very clearly, and he immediately said: "Order, put a thousand jin gates, the bow and arrow battalion march in line, and after entering the city, use the sentry as a unit to clean up the Wu army in the city!" Recruitment camp followed! ”
Yan Ying did not object to Zigong's arrangement, the recruiting battalion had already made a lot of contributions, and the bow and arrow battalion should also have a long face. Seeing the dense Wu army pouring into the city gate, the rock eagle standing on the city wall was like ashes, and he muttered: "The city gate - this is broken? ”
I think it took a lot of effort to capture Gou Jian when they captured it, and thousands of warriors died, but I didn't expect that now it was blasted away by the crossbow by the Wu army without a single soldier. Yan Ying really wanted to go back alive and tell the Yue army about this new method of warfare, and now there are a lot of arrows, and when the time comes, it will be completely possible to enter the hinterland of Wu from the main road.
However, he had little chance, not only was the south gate blasted open, but the west gate was also broken, and a large number of soldiers from the recruiting camp rushed into the city gate under the escort of shield soldiers. At this time, the jack gate has been put down, and the Wu soldiers inside and outside are separated, and the little barbarian girl digs out the jade slip of the city moat, and the large array of the city guard slowly rises, isolating a large number of attacking Wu troops outside the city.
Then he threw a few spirit stones at the center of the formation, waved his big hand, and a screen in the sky quickly appeared, and then hunted the Wu soldiers who had entered the battle, and used the spiritual power of the spirit stones to condense into a ball of fireball, and threw it at the piles of Wu soldiers.
Yan Ying didn't see this kind of play, he could actually use the formation, and he also attacked in a decent way, and suddenly became interested, the other side of the city gate hole was blocked with Vietnamese soldiers, seeing that the Wu army rushed in and pulled the bow and shot arrows, for a time ten thousand arrows were fired, and a large number of recruits in the front row of the recruiting camp of Wu Guo fell, and the shield soldiers who covered the archers entering the city on both wings hurriedly held their shields to avoid the expansion of casualties in the recruiting battalion.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A large number of fireballs fell, and none of those shield soldiers had a good ending, after a few sounds, a large number of fireballs fell to the ground and erupted, and the Wu army in front of the city gate was burned into black charcoal, and for a time the blood mist was filled, and the Wu army, who was lucky not to die in front, ran back like crazy. And they were greeted by a rain of arrows!
Seeing that the fighting power of the Vietnamese army was so fierce, Wu Jun dared to rush forward and kill, and retreated again and again, while the recruiting camp advanced in several rows in a burst of drums. Wu Jun was a little dazed by these sharp fireballs, and began to scatter in the streets, blocking residential houses, and began street fighting.
The Vietnamese army's recruiting battalion was based on sentry units, and dozens of people were still in three rows in parallel with each sentry, cleaning up each street one by one.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the shouting and killing in the city became less and less, and more than half of the three thousand Wu soldiers who had entered the city were wiped out.
"Let us evacuate, or we'll kill these people!" One of the generals in the Wu army shouted and threatened. The Vietnamese army stopped attacking, and as officers and soldiers, they did not dare to shoot and wound the people easily, and everyone hated and angered, secretly saying that the Wu army was shameless.
Not long after, Gou Jian rode his horse and said to the herald: "Tell the Vietnamese army, we won't chase, let them let the people go, if you don't agree, there is only a dead end!" ”
Wu Jun began to shout again: "Let's take these people to walk ten miles first, and then let them come back after ten miles!" You are not allowed to follow! Gou Jian frowned and said, "At most five miles, our army will withdraw to the city, and I will not chase it!" The herald quickly conveyed Gou Jian's meaning to Wu Jun, and He Lu was also very happy, and immediately agreed, five miles was enough for them to run.
After the two sides negotiated, Gou Jian ordered the whole army to withdraw to the city, seeing that the Wu army had withdrawn, Linggu floated under Gou Jian's signal, and immediately ran to the mountain with the army, which was a mountain road leading to the outside of the pass, with mountains on both sides.
After running out of five miles with the people, Wu Jun directly shook off the people who were dragging his feet, and accelerated his speed to run back, and the people who were coerced saw that Wu Jun ran away and turned back to the city. In the hall of the state government in the city. "Your Majesty! We just let go of this Wu army? Ling Gufu was very angry.
Zigong sighed: "Your Majesty's Chrysostom has been opened, and you need to pay attention to integrity!" Gou Jian glanced at Linggu Fu and said lightly: "For human beings, we should pay attention to integrity, but if we are animals, do we need to pay attention to integrity?" ”
When Linggu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, and immediately ran out with a fist, shouting at the recruiting camp as she ran: "Gather the whole battalion and follow me to pursue the Wu army!" Immediately the city resounded with the neighing of men and horses, followed by the distant rumbling of iron hooves.
