"Three thousand heavy infantry, come with me, heavy shields and spears!"

Li Yumei's eyes flashed with cold light, and she screamed.

With her sword in hand, she leaped out of the city, stood on a wooden frame on the slope, and strode downward.

As early as when the Wu army was preparing the slope wooden frame, 3,000 heavy infantry were already standing at the head of Danyang City, ready to stand by at any time.

The head of the city is too narrow, only one or two zhang wide, and there are not many rows of people standing. Except for the Danyang musketeers, even the archers did not go up.

Surely there can be no war in the city.

Once they were rushed to the top of the city by the light cavalry of the Wu army, with the powerful impact of the horses, they could be directly knocked away and knocked down the city wall.

The city is full of dense residential areas, and there is hardly much open space except for the main streets.

If you want to fight, you have to rush out.

It was necessary to rush out, to the wooden frame on the slope, and set up a position of sufficient thickness to withstand the cavalry charge.

They immediately grabbed a pair of heavy wooden shields and spears, and rushed out with Li Yu.

Li Yu stopped at the half-middle waist of the wooden frame slope.

"Stand on the shield!"

"Get shot!"

Three thousand heavy infantry, at once in the middle of the slope wooden frame, lined up closely. Large wooden shields are next to each other.

The spears were densely packed on a wooden frame, with the tips pointing outwards and the bottom of the spears stuck directly into the dirt - so that even if the enemy collided with the spears strongly, they would be held up by the ground.

They were layered on top of each other, a platoon of five hundred heavy infantry, a full six platoons. A dense forest of guns was aimed at the outside.

Heavy infantry spear shield array, which is a sharp weapon for defending against light cavalry. The six-platoon heavy infantry pike-shield array was thick enough.

Li Yu's eyes were extremely calm.

Since the city walls are useless, then fight the field battle. In field warfare, there is also a way to restrain cavalry, that is, spear and shield heavy infantry.

There are 50,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry in Danyang City, and they can also fight field battles with the Wu army. It's just that it will suffer a lot of troop losses.

The cavalry charged, relying entirely on the weight and impact of the horses.

Once the war horse runs, the huge weight of five or six hundred catties is enough to knock more than a dozen adults away under the high-speed impact.

Shock heavy riflemen, it will be difficult.

The light cavalry is not strong in defense, it is extremely expensive, it is the most expensive type of army in the world, and it is rare to force the heavy infantry.

Whether it is the Hun light cavalry or the Great Chu light cavalry, the main tactics are guerrilla, raiding, and pursuing the routed army.

The light cavalry went to charge the heavy riflemen, that was suicide!

"Rush ——!"

The cavalry general of the Wu army roared sharply.

The 10,000 light cavalry of the Wu army did not stop galloping.

They just went to commit suicide and tried to forcibly rush to the head of Danyang City. Rushing up to the city from the slope wooden frame is the only hope and the only shortcut to break through Danyang City in one fell swoop.

In other places, there are high walls and horses as blocks. It is easier said than done to climb up by manpower.

Any other tactics will make Wu's army suffer even heavier losses.

The only hope is for the light cavalry to break through this heavy infantry pikeman belt and make a bloody way.

...

"Boom!"

"Poof!"

On the wooden frame of the slope 500 meters wide and more than 10 meters long, blood suddenly splashed everywhere. The hussars flipped on their backs and were impaled by a dense network of spears.

The slope is sloping.

Thousands of spears were almost flat across the wooden shields, aimed at the outside.

All the heavy infantry was under the giant wooden shield.

The cavalry behind couldn't stop and crashed into it one after another, miserable.

Thousands of war horses and cavalry soldiers were directly pierced by a piece of spear under the impact force.

The heavy infantry spear formation was also scattered by the light cavalry in one breath by three or four rows, and it seemed that it was almost able to break through this heavy infantry formation.

However, in the end, I still couldn't rush forward.

The horses and Wu cavalry, who had been impaled by spears, completely blocked the 500-meter-long slope. A messy strip of spears, horses, and soldiers was formed, a barrier belt.

The corpses were all hung on the spears, one or two meters high, and the war horses behind them could not continue to rush forward.

The heavy infantry hiding under the wooden shield, as long as they could still move, all got out and slashed at the horses and thighs of the Wu cavalry with swords. The light cavalry in the vicinity, killed the company and retreated.

At this time, the small steel cannon on the city wall was finally loaded with ammunition after firing a round.

"Little steel cannon, five hundred steps ahead, fire!"

Chu Tianxiu drank.

Suddenly, the small steel cannon on the head of Danyang City shot a large number of iron projectiles into the sky at an oblique angle.

Thundered!

Hundreds of iron projectiles flew into the light cavalry formation of the Wu army on the periphery of the slope, and suddenly a group of people turned on their backs and screamed miserably.

Although the cavalrymen had bows and arrows in their hands, they could return fire.

But the arrows have little lethality for the heavily armored infantry and heavy Danyang soldiers in iron armor on the head of the city.

Arrow projectile is only suitable for dealing with unarmored and thinly armored light infantry.

The cavalry general of the Wu army, looking at the wooden frame on the slope blocked by a piece of corpses, obviously impossible to rush over, sighed, dropped the corpses of the cavalry all over the ground, pulled out his horse and retreated.

The 40,000 light infantry of the Wu army, seeing the failure of the light cavalry charge, hesitated for a moment, and quickly retreated, returning to three or four miles away, in the main formation of the Wu army.

"King! The last general failed to attack the city, lost 1,500 cavalry, and failed to rush to the head of the city, please punish the king! ”

The general of the cavalry of the Wu army went back, jumped off his horse, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Crime of war, get up!"

Wu Wang Xiangbi did not punish him, but just looked at the head of Danyang City in silence.

Everything was executed according to plan.

50,000 foot soldiers, erect a slope!

Dirt to the fire!

10,000 light cavalry launched a thunderous charge!

I was going to catch Xiao Duhou off guard.

As long as the defending army of Danyang hesitated a little, the weak city wall was forcibly captured by the light cavalry. Tens of thousands of Wu infantry rushed up the slope, and Danyang City was directly breached.

It's just that he didn't expect Li Yu to lead the troops so bravely, and rushed out of the city wall with three thousand heavy riflemen. Firmly entrenched on the wooden frame of this slope, it blocked the charge of the light cavalry and blocked the opening.

The offensive did not go well.

This cannot be blamed on the unfavorable combat of the cavalry of the Wu army.

The Wu army lost more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 1,500 light cavalry. In Danyang City, it is estimated that only a few hundred heavy riflemen died.

In this wave of fighting, Wu Jun obviously suffered a big loss.

But siege warfare is like this, the casualties are greater than those of the defenders, and they have to be filled with their lives.

"Father... You see? What's next? ”

Xiang Xian said cautiously.

"No hurry!"

Wu Wang Xiang Bi glanced up at the sun, which was already hanging above his head.

This wave of losses was extremely large, which frustrated the spirit of the Wu army, and it was no longer possible to act brutally. The Wu army pulled out the camp from ten miles away and came with huge trees, and the loss of strength was also great.

He said lightly: "It's noon, bury the pot to make rice, one pound of dry rice per person, three taels of meat, eat and drink enough, and fight again with enough momentum!"

The strange soldiers can't take it, so the king will play with these juniors in a dignified manner. ”
