Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 121.Improvisable tactics
Foolproof preparation is not superfluous, sharpening the knife does not cut wood, this is responsible for oneself, but also to give the opponent the greatest respect, such a cautious attitude to ensure that at least the result will not be too unbearable results, and in fact, no one needs to care about this preparation time, because the proper arrangement made with this time will not be lost...
Shang Feng was very satisfied with the speed of his team's current march, he issued the military order again, the sound of the horn changed again, from the assembly to the attack, low and urgent, the vanguard of the front army of four hundred people left the large army first, the speed gradually increased, accompanied by bursts of shouts, and they all charged towards the city gate.
Most of the former troops were the guards of the original Taiyun City, and their main task was to create an unimpeded passage for the Chinese commandos, so their equipment was mainly based on defense, and the shield armor was the strongest, and the siege weapons made during this period of time, such as ladders and a few thick crashing logs, were transported to the front line by them, and as they gradually approached the range of bows and arrows, the Chinese army with fewer people was also ready.
The other party used a double-layer assault array, which Mu San did not expect, in his opinion, the opponent's numerical advantage is not obvious, only less than a thousand people, if you choose this way, the pressure of each attack is not enough, maybe people have not yet attacked the city gate, they will be hit by their own bow and arrow showers Heavy casualties, some gains outweigh the losses, and have already suffered a loss, and in this way, it is not at all like the style of a new coach.
Although he could protect his own follow-up attacking troops, the casualties of the front army were too great, and he didn't expect that the other party didn't expect the group of guards of the front army to make achievements, and it was different from the way he led the troops to fight, and he didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, so he could only follow the established plan step by step.
It wasn't until the first round of arrow rain from the Mu Imperial Army was sent out, and the effect appeared, Mu San somewhat understood the other party's strategy, it turned out that the front army was not the main attacking force at all, they just rushed forward desperately, there were no offensive weapons in their hands at all, or they were not taken out, everyone basically prepared two shields, although the wooden shields were relatively simple, but they couldn't stand a large number, and they rushed forward desperately against the dense arrow rain above their heads.
As long as the rain of arrows comes, you can hide under the crashing wood, and it is not a threat to them at all, so after a round of testing, the casualties of the other party are minimal, and it seems that the other party is still fully prepared, and the bow and arrow are no longer too threatening.
In this way, the means of striking at the far end of their own side have been invisibly resolved, as long as they reach the city wall, the opponent's troops can launch a surprise attack at any time, seeing this scene, Mu San somewhat admired the leader of the other party, such a team with a clear division of labor is the real army, and the way of fighting separately is not an army at all.
At this time, Mu San hopes that he has some powerful strike weapons, it is best to penetrate the opponent's wooden shield, and it is best to hit the boulder prepared on the city wall, so that even the enemy hiding under the collision wood will not be able to withstand the strong force, this means will not play a big role, but unfortunately there is no such preparation at all, since the enemy cannot be rejected outside the city wall, then can only prepare for a frontal siege battle.
Mu San ordered to stop his own bow and arrow formation, after all, the bow and arrow require a huge amount of physical strength, and ordinary people can't lift their arms after a few rounds, not to mention the hand-to-hand combat that may occur for a while, he doesn't want his soldiers to fall into a desperate situation because of exhaustion.
Moreover, if the enemy attacks continuously, their own side will not be able to rest at all, and sooner or later it will be lost, and at that time, the situation will become bad, and it must be thought of in advance, and the time that can save some physical strength must be fought for.
Shang Feng was a little surprised, but he was not worried, surprised by the decisiveness of the other party, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart, after all, if the other party continued to bow and arrow, the soldiers would always have casualties, although it was advantageous in the overall situation, but watching the children of his tribe fall to the ground one by one, as the patriarch's heart was always a little unbearable.
The two sides only used only one round of bow and arrow temptation, and then did not continue, and the way of war became a little weird, both sides did their own thing, as if two groups that were not related to each other, but the distance between each other was constantly narrowing, and everyone knew that in this way, the war was not over, but after a short period of suppression, it would erupt more powerfully, and it might only take a few breaths in time.
The front army of the Taiyun army was in a hurry, and the commandos of the Chinese army also began to charge and hurry, they were getting closer and closer to the city gate and the city wall, and although the wooden imperial army on the city wall stopped shooting with bows and arrows, they were not idle, some of them stared at the enemy troops outside the city seriously, so that the other party might have an emergency, and the rest of the personnel were busy carrying the items prepared in advance to block the enemy, some boulders, beams and wood, and try to hurry up and put them in a place where they can be directly reached when they are used.
Originally, there were not many of these things in the city, after all, it was a military acropolis, basically military facilities, some buildings and something were relatively few, and even fewer could be dismantled, so the stones that could pose a threat were dismantled, and the wood was relatively small, you must know that these things had to have enough weight, otherwise it was impossible to pose a threat to the enemy under the city walls, the bigger the better, the heavier the better, and it was not allowed in addition to time, so there were only so many things collected.
Mu San once again quickly patrolled the city wall, especially at the city gate, which was the focus of the enemy's attack, so he must also pay attention to this place, as if this had become the key point of contention between the two sides, and this was also a place where there would never be a loss, and at the same time, there were the most heavy objects placed here, and the wooden imperial army was also the most, and the special soldiers who were arranged to deal with the cloud ladder were also the most.
With the first crash wood being carried to the city gate by the enemy, the battle between the Mu Imperial Army and the Taiyun Army became condescending on one side, and the other side was immersed in hard work, preparing to hit the city gate with all their might, according to their current impact speed, this first blow was the most ruthless, after all, the distance of the charge was far enough, plus everyone was holding their breath and waiting to vent, so Mu San would never let the other party easily hit the city gate.
The distance is getting closer and closer, Mu San raised his hand violently, made a gesture of preparation, and at the same time personally picked up a boulder with a waist thickness, and the spirit ape on the side also picked up a larger boulder, compared to Mu San's a little difficult, the spirit ape was much easier, it was more excited, it liked to throw stones very much, and it hadn't thrown stones for a long time to play, and it was already a little unbearable.
Speaking of which, Mu San and its first side by side battle is inseparable from the stone, at that time the spirit ape quasi-head was not so strong, and then the mountains and forests on the bone carving, threw a beast, this way, the spirit ape is very fond of throwing things, Mu San also said it several times, but unfortunately the effect is not great, this time you can finally throw a handful, how can it not be excited.
"It's now, throw."
As soon as the word was thrown, Mu San lifted the boulder in his arms and smashed it towards the wood below, and the others did not pause at all, and smashed towards the bottom almost at the same time, among which the spirit ape was faster, only one step slower than Mu San, but its strength was greater, so its boulder smashed on the other party's wood almost at the same time as Mu San.
"Bang", a dull and loud sound smashed on the bundled wood, directly causing Taiyun Jun to cry and scold, they didn't expect that they were about to hit the city gate, it was possible to break through the city gate with one blow, maybe it was the biggest opportunity for meritorious service, everyone was a little glad that they might get the first merit, but they knew that a strong attack came overhead, and many people's arms were broken.
The remaining few people could no longer withstand the huge pressure, "Click" was crushed under the huge crashing wood, and it seemed that they could not live, in just a moment, dozens of lives disappeared, and the miserable appearance of the scene made people can't help but be disgusted, this is the cruelty of war, and even both sides of the battlefield paused.
But the war is far from over, although Shang Feng, the commander of the Taiyun Army in the distance, is heartbroken, but he still ordered to continue the attack, his knowledge is more than this tragic war, this is nothing at all, although the enemy's blow has caused a great shock to his side, but it also means that he is prepared, and if there is a strong attack from the top of the head, there will be no such big casualties, as long as there is preparation, dozens of people under the crash wood can completely resist the attack from the top of the head.
The defense of the wood is not to be said, even if the wood imperial army can't break it with all its strength, but it also means that its weight is relatively large, and the consumption of the soldiers is also greater, and the soldiers are a little weak and panting when they carry it together, plus they need to guard against the strong attack overhead, and they have to hit the city gate with all their strength, so the consumption of them is greater, so the results achieved are not so great, although the city gate has been hit several times, but there is no danger of crashing open.
Some of the soldiers had already felt the difference in the city gate, and when they hit it, it seemed to be mounted on a hard rock, and it stands to reason that wood should not feel like this, and some people already knew that the back of the city gate must be blocked by the other party, so it was so difficult to open, and the good thing they thought at first seemed to be difficult to achieve, but they did not receive an order, so they could only continue at risk, but with some preparation, the threat from the top of their heads was much smaller.
