Chapter 415: Trenches

Wang Er followed Lao Zhang to carry the ladder and retreated in a daze, and the Western Xia soldiers pursued behind them.

As soon as he ran to a bright and open place, he heard a few screams behind him, Wang Er turned his head, and saw that there was a huge hidden army trough behind him, a team of rattan armor warriors held a rattan shield in their left hand, and the sapper shovel in their right hand danced wildly, and in a blink of an eye, they cut down the pursuing Xixia people to the ground.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and more Xixia people and more rattan armored infantry gathered at the entrance of the passage, and suddenly flesh and blood flew sideways, and the scene was tragic.

The rattan armor is very light, and after many oil immersions, it may not be able to catch arrows, but it is very effective against swords, and its unique tenacity and elasticity are very effective.

Because the story of Prime Minister Zhuge burning the rattan armor soldiers was too impressive, Su Youming Meishan producers coated its surface with glass water and sandblasted.

However, no matter how powerful the rattan armor infantry of Qidi Dragon Mountain was, there were also losses under the madness of the Tangut people fighting for their lives, and the situation began to be somewhat unfavorable.

Wang Eryi grabbed the ladder: "Uncle Zhang! Don't run! ”

The old man didn't look back: "Withdraw!" Withdraw to the stockade and do with them! ”

Wang Er didn't move: "Uncle, take a look behind you!" ”

Lao Zhang turned his head and scolded: "You baby...... I'll go!

Wang Er leaned the ladder to the edge of the passage: "Uncle! Get up the ladder, I'll wind you up, and shoot those shit! ”

Lao Zhang pulled his crossbow away as fast as he could, and before the person could step on the ladder and stand firm, the crossbow bolt was launched.

A Song soldier was being thrown to the ground by two Tanguts, and one of the Tanguts threw away his sword, drew the dagger from his waist and was about to stab the warrior's neck.

Then he heard a pop, and a short arrow was plunged into the right eye of the Tangut man, and it did not reach the feather.

The heavily armored warrior flipped over, picked up the sapper shovel and cut down another Tangut, and shouted: "Thank you, brother!" He threw himself on his comrades, who were fighting with them.

Lao Zhang snorted: "You should be called uncle!" ”

took the crane shin crossbow handed over by Wang Er, and launched it again.

Wang Er shouted beside Lao Zhang: "Uncle, we have few people, crossbow arrows need to be rescued, don't shoot people when you see them!" ”

Lao Zhang aimed at the front with a crossbow, and shouted in his mouth: "Just your dog's cleverness, I know!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he shot another arrow.

Wang Erchao shouted left and right: "Control the Crane Army!" Fight back! ”

This reminded Lao Zhang: "Everyone shouts with me!" Control the Crane Army, fight back! Help the Yiren brothers carry it! ”

The rattan infantry also shouted: "Control the crane army, fight back!" ”

Control the Crane Army, fight back!

Countless retreating crane control troops also stopped when they heard the call.

Ah Holie's habit is to always act with the Crane Army, and the Second Army of the Crane Hunt is really a friendship after more than ten years of fighting, and many sergeants in the two armies are brothers-in-law, and the relationship between his wife and uncle.

Blood was thicker than water, and more and more crane control troops stopped, followed suit, and began to reorganize counterattacks behind Hoan Jiabu.

With the crossbow bolts suppressed, the passage was quickly controlled, and the pile-up corpses of the Tanguts almost blocked the exit.

However, the Tangut people were not stupid, and the sergeants who entered the trenches only saw them go down, but did not come out, and anyone could judge that the battle in the trenches was unfavorable.

Fortunately, they have the Pop Hill Army.

Western Xia is an important production area of Bactrian camels, and the Poxi army is a strong force on the back of camels.

Their riding equipment was a small stone thrower mounted on the back of a camel - a whirlwind cannon.

In front of the two armies, the tall and stocky Bactrian humpback stood a torsion stone thrower, shooting out the fist-sized stones in the saddle bag continuously, and the flying bullet rain was a nightmare that the Song army was afraid of to the bones.

"Vertical stones are like fists" is the annotation of Song Shi to them.

But now their whirlwind cannons are completely useless, because the enemy is in the trenches, and they can only hear shouts of kill, but they can't see the target.

However, they are also an army of engineers, with plenty of wood in their equipment that can be assembled into bulky trebuchets that can be used to fire huge stone cages to destroy the defenses of enemy castleheads.

Soon the timber came in handy, and makeshift wooden bridges were built over the trenches.

With the wooden bridge erected, more Xia troops were able to cross the trench from the ground, and the trench suddenly lost its advantage.

This battle could not continue, Lao Zhang and they covered the rattan armor warriors, and finally all withdrew to the village.

The gate of the fortress opened, and a large group of sergeants holding huge Teng shields rushed out, blocking the arrows and stones of the Xia people, and taking the troops back.

The jack gate on the gate of the fortress rumbled down, and the rain of arrows on the city ended the attack of the Tanguts.

The battle lasted for a whole day, from dawn to dusk, the Tanguts successfully occupied all the trenches on the periphery of Ho'an Village, and completely trapped Su You in the wall.

However, the losses were also huge, with the elite infantry losing thirty percent, and the rest of the army losing nearly five thousand.

The losses in this battle were all the elites of Western Xia, and the last trench was still a hundred steps away from Ho'an Village, which happened to be the range of the crane crossbow.

Liang Zuo was quite satisfied with the results of the battle, but his judgment on the lack of water in Hoarding Anzhai finally wavered.

If it weren't for Liang Yiduo's timely response and temporary requisition of a giant trebuchet that was destined to be unusable due to the trench and build a bridge across the trench, it is difficult to say what the battle situation would eventually turn into.

With such stubborn resistance, where is the slightest restlessness caused by lack of water? It is clearly a life harvester that is even more fierce and powerful than the Western Xia army!

I don't know how Su You boosts morale, is it really a scam with a rainstorm to maintain it?

In order to test the determination of the people in the village to defend the city, Lang Zuo organized a tentative siege overnight, braved the rain of arrows on the city, piled up firewood and set a fire, and after losing hundreds of sergeants, he finally understood the grievances of the Shuqu department.

Hoard the pine city wall of the village, and the straight thief can't point it!

……

The firelight of Hoanzhai can be clearly seen at the head of the city even if it is far away from the Zhenrong army.

Yao Ji and Qidi Longshan are now lifelong friends.

In Su You's eyes, two single Spanish bulldogs are just two difficult to find a daughter-in-law, but they are already unashamedly discussing getting married to their children!

Yao Ji looked at the red light in the distance worriedly: "Zhijun, the sons are thirsty to fight, the saddle horse weapons are all fed by Su Mingrun, if you really don't save it, aren't you afraid of being poked in the backbone by the Shaanxi father?" ”

Chong Zhen clenched his back tooth socket: "It's only been a few days, and the guest army is not tired." ”

Yao Ji said: "After the news of the Hoarding Army was cut off, I was cut off from drinking water, and it was only two days after that, and I couldn't stand it. ”

He glanced at Yao Yu: "Can you be stupid enough to be like you...... Anyway, this is also Su Mingrun's unity of knowledge and action, and practice brings true knowledge. ”

Yao Yu said: "No, Zhijun, you think, I can't endure a big measure for two days, he Su Mingrun is a weak scholar, can he stand this?" ”

After speaking, he hinted frantically: "Su Mingrun, but I am looking at the flowers, if I lose, you and I will be on the head...... Han Xianggong of the imperial court is in power, this old man kills martial artists, and his hands are so black that he is deadly......"

He glanced at him again: "Are you worried that your daughter will become a widow before she is born?" ”

Yao was furious: "Why can't it be a son?!" How can a daughter fight? How to get revenge on his grandfather?! He begged to give birth to a daughter in Longshan! Must have a daughter! ”

He didn't bother to pay attention to his resentment: "Su Mingrun's death order, you don't see three puffs of wolf smoke during the day, and you don't see the seven-star Kong Ming lantern at night, don't attack, otherwise even if he wins, he will also kill the general!" ”

Yao Yu blurted out: "Su Mingrun? He can't......"

He gave him a roll of his eyes for the third time, and this time he didn't bother to speak.

Only then did Yao Ji react: "When I didn't say it, this baby is now under the hands of 20,000 people......

Only then did he continue to speak: "Finally understood? ”

"Weizhou City has been full of flowers for a year, and everyone is red-eyed. From the moment Liang Zuo found an agent for the Fan people and traded with Weizhou, he had already swallowed the bait; If you amass troops on Tiandu Mountain, you have already fallen into a trap; After Shimen Gorge, the battle is almost doomed! ”

"This is a pocket array, if you want to enter Weizhou, you can only break from the edge of the pocket, and after crossing Shimen Gorge, there is only this road left."

"Hoarding Anzhai, Zhenrong Army, two horns, you can only choose one of the two, otherwise you will have to worry about the back road."

"He Su Mingrun looks like a weak chicken all day long, even I want to bully two handfuls when I look at it, in the eyes of Liang Zuo, it is like the steamed buns of the school palace in Weizhou, with thin skin and a lot of oil and water, who will he bite if he doesn't bite?"

"That's fine, but if you do, it's over."

Every step of Xia Jun was clearly arranged by Su Mingrun. My family Hachiro followed him, vision, knowledge, and dealing with people, which one is not a big advance? ”

"None of this matters, because being ruthless to others is not a good thing."

"You can use yourself as bait, and even Lao Tzu is afraid of those who can be ruthless to yourself!"

"You're still worried about him? If you sell it, you're afraid that you'll still help count the money! ”
