Chapter 201: Retreat from the enemy

As soon as Lan Ziyi threw the largest stone he could lift down the gap when he heard Qiu Xiaozhi in the city shouting:

"Soldiers! Behind you are the people, if you don't drive the thieves out of the city today, we won't even have the face of those miserable people in the Yellow Spring after we die! β€œ

Qiu Xiaozhi was dressed in a long robe, the scarf wrapped around his head fluttered in the wind, the sword in his hand was raised, and the anger in his eyes was blazing,

Although Qiu Xiaozhi was just a scribe, he had never had the experience of leading troops to fight before he was young, but at this time, Lan Ziyi's heart was surprisingly quiet when he saw him, and the panic caused by the thieves before receded from his heart little by little.

In Xiangcheng, even the scribes who stayed behind took the initiative to come forward to fight with the thieves, what else is there to fear.

The cavalry of the Jihu battalion, which had just rushed out, rushed into the rear of the bandit line under the leadership of Li Guangzhong with its own impact force, and the infantry who followed up took advantage of the situation to keep up, slashing into the crowd of thieves with knives, although the number of officers and soldiers was less than that of the bandits, but with the help of the narrow streets and the houses next to the streets, the officers and soldiers successfully blocked the thieves and stopped the momentum of the thieves breaking into the city.

The people who came with Qiu Xiaozhi rushed to plant the wooden fence on the ground under the cover of the fighting officers and soldiers in front, but in a moment all the streets leading from the gap to the city were blocked by wooden fences, and then the crossbowmen took the place of the people, throwing arrows at the thieves who entered the city, and the soldiers on the city wall also divided their hands to shoot at the city.

Under the cover of bows and arrows falling from high and low crosses, the cavalry and infantry who had just fought against the thieves retreated, concentrated under the base of the city wall, and retreated on both sides along the road under the city wall.

Although the thieves rained arrows released by the champion above their heads, they could not give up when they finally entered the city, so the thieves braved the arrows to rush to the wooden fence that had just been erected when the champion was removed, in a vain attempt to break through the wooden fence and enter the city.

Before, intercepting the thieves, setting up a wooden fence, and arranging the archers were all offensive arranged by Qiu Xiaozhi and Li Guangzhong, and now the thieves are rushing into the battle again How could Qiu Xiaozhi not be prepared,

Seeing that the thief was about to approach, Qiu Xiaozhi waved his hand backwards, and the soldiers replaced the archers who were in front of the wooden fence just now.

These soldiers, each with a lance in their hand, stabbed through the gap in the wooden fence.

The swiftness of the thief's rush did not prevent this, and the people in the front row wanted to stop but were also blocked by the people behind, so the tip of the hard spear made of steel pierced through the body of the thief, and once again poked the thieves who came densely behind him, but the front row of the thieves had all been wiped out in a short period of time, and more than three people were wearing each lance.

In addition to the screams, there were also warriors among the thieves, who either desperately grabbed the lance with their hands after being poked to prevent the defenders from taking it back, or they were highly skilled, not only dodging the lance stabbed by the officers, but also reaching out to grab the lance and try to take it away.

Under the desperate competition of the thieves, the newly rushed thieves behind them rushed forward with short knives and big axes to cut down the wooden fence.

But how could Qiu Xiaozhi leave this kind of opportunity for the thieves, under the command of Qiu Xiaozhi, the first row of long lances was common after this kind of thieves were common, and these soldiers took off their hands and threw away the long lance, and then a row of people on top of them continued to use the long lance to stab the thieves through the wooden fence.

The thieves who came up on the top could only be dumbfounded when they saw this formation, how could they have just resisted the first row of long lances with their flesh and blood, and now there is another row, is this still over? Coupled with the endless rain of arrows from all directions, the thieves who rushed into the city intensively and were now blocked by them were killed on their backs, and for a while, the thieves had no way to take these officers and soldiers who were holding the wooden fence in front of them.

Seeing that it was useless to rush hard, the thieves and robbers hurriedly ordered the thieves to turn around and chase the retreating officers and soldiers along the city wall.

It's just that during the period when the main force of the thieves attacked the wooden fence on the street, the officers and soldiers were ready to retreat.

The large and uncurved cavalry retreated to the rear first under the cover of the infantry, and the infantry lined up neatly with rattan cards and waist knives to block the thieves.

These infantry are Qiu Xiaozhi's forbidden army infantry squeezed out of the four city walls, although their establishment has been disrupted, and the brothers who stand beside them are not the brothers who used to get along day and night, eat and live together, but the training of the forbidden army still gives them a strong combat power to maintain a formation, and the random charge of the thieves and stragglers without any formation is blocked by these infantry, and the flesh and blood city wall here is no less than the wooden fence erected on the street over there.

However, whether the human wall is not a brick wall, people will definitely lose their physical strength after fighting for a long time, and these soldiers have been fighting hard for days these days, and they are already slightly tired after a while.

Although the thieves were not as well-trained as the officers and soldiers, the fatigue of the opponent could still be seen, and when they saw this, they hurriedly strengthened their offensive, slashing again, kicking again, and pulling shields, which were bound to break up the human wall of the officers and soldiers.

After the officers and infantry retreated while fighting, and the cavalry behind seemed to have retreated to a safe place, Li Guangzhong shouted on his horse:

"Fall!"

After hearing the order, the infantry in the front row collectively squatted down, and this sudden situation made the thieves puzzled, and before the thieves could figure out what was happening, there was a row of dense long lances stabbing at the door in front of them.

It turned out that Qiu Xiaozhi had already made arrangements, although along the road on both sides of the city wall in order to let the front sergeants retreat, there was no wooden fence, but all specially arranged two long lance men, these people have been waiting in the designated position with guns, and when the cavalry retreated to them, these long lance men reorganized the formation, Li Guangzhong gave an order,

The infantry of the forbidden army in the front row bent down to give up the space of the upper body, and the long lance in the back row took the opportunity to stab forward with a gun, and the thief was caught off guard and was stabbed through, and Li Guangzhong in the back row led the cavalry to turn around and release arrows, and the infantry who had just squatted down took the opportunity to lean forward, and the waist knife in his hand stared at the thief and slashed fiercely.

In a short period of time, the unsuspecting thieves were killed by this set of combination skills and abandoned their armor, although there were many thieves behind, but there was only a dead end when they stepped forward.

Lan Ziyi watched Qiu Xiaozhi command Ruoding under the city wall on the city wall, and the joy in his heart was all shown through the smile on his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiaozhi can not only be scheming, but also a good hand at commanding operations, this set of smooth combination with the battle Lan Ziyi asked himself, even if he can arrange the soldiers to fight, it is impossible to do better than Mr. Xiaozhi. Like Mr. Xiaozhi, it must be both civil and military.

The soldiers on the city wall are still fighting hand-to-hand with thieves, and the arrows on the peach rabbit are empty and replaced, but there are many thieves, and I don't know when the fight will come to an end.

At this moment, many people came up on the stairs not far away, and the leader turned out to be Qiu Wenruo.

Qiu Wenruo braved the tip of the knife to squeeze next to Lan Ziyi, and he didn't care about saluting, and when he saw Lan Ziyi, he said:

"Weihou, we're late!"

Lan Ziyi took the sword to protect Qiu Wenruo and said:

"You have come just in time, why are you late? Mr. Xiaozhi played too beautifully under the city just now! ”

Qiu Wenruo says:

"My father's arrangement of troops like this is just to give full play to the advantages of our officers and soldiers, although the momentum is like a bamboo now, but I have too few soldiers, if we can't plug the gap in the city wall, my father's side will be broken sooner or later!"

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and said:

"So Mr. Wenruo brought the people up to block the city?"

Qiu Wenruo says:

"Exactly!

The loess, sand and gravel dug out outside the city before, as well as the stones collected by the tall people, were all stored in the city, and now they can finally come in handy! β€œ

Lan Ziyi took a closer look, and there were many people on the north and south sides of the gap, and these people lined up in a long line from the city to continuously pass bamboo baskets from the city to the city, and the baskets were full of sand that was mixed with viscous soil.

Every time a few baskets of sand are handed over, stones will be handed to the city, and the people will throw the sand and stones together to drop the gap, plus the falling stones thrown by the soldiers, the city is smashed and filled with the corpses of the thieves in the city, and the gap in the city wall actually has a tendency to be closed little by little.

Qiu Wenruo said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, according to my calculations, according to the current amount of sand and stones, the gap will soon be filled."

兰子义 says:

"But all this sand has been thrown on people's heads, how can they stick to the stones?"

Qiu Wenruo says:

"The entrance of the thieves in the city has been blocked, and the thieves can't move, so they can't take the sand with them.

But if the people want to carry sand to the city wall uninterruptedly, they need the protection of the soldiers, and you have to let the soldiers protect the people! β€œ

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Wen Ruo, you just have to worry about repairing the city wall!"

Then Lan Ziyi squeezed to the outside of the city wall and shouted at the sergeants:

"Brethren! If the city wall is attacked by thieves, the gap will not be able to hold Xiangcheng!

Now that the people behind us are blocking the city for us, can't you muster up the strength to keep the thieves out? β€œ

When the soldiers heard this, they shouted loudly, and fought hard with steel swords in their hands, as if they were about to jump off the city wall to fight the thieves hand-to-hand.

After the thieves dug down the city wall, the main force was used to pour into the city, and the number of people who climbed the city became fewer.

At this time, the war situation in the city was unfavorable, the number advantage of the thieves could not be brought into play in the city, and the city wall was filling in the earth and throwing stones to try to plug the gap, the thieves were not fools, how could they tolerate this, seeing this, they quickly redeployed their manpower to the side of the city wall.

The thieves braved the fire under the city, and took the ladder to rush to the city, and the ladder was pushed, and these thieves put up the ladder again.

The thieves braved the rain of arrows on the city and jumped onto the city, and some of the thieves even threw away their weapons to catch the officials and soldiers, and pulled down the city wall with all their might, while more thieves rushed to the city head to fight with the officials and soldiers like a desperate person.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were overstretched, Lan Ziyi himself rushed to the front line with his sword and fought hand-to-hand with the thieves, although the defenders fought desperately to protect the people behind them, but the number of thieves was too much, these swarming thieves had rushed to the inside of the city wall and began to slaughter the people, and the sand and stone blocking the city were stopped.

Lan Ziyi just stopped a thief with a sword and slashed at Qiu Wenruo's blade, and Tao Zhutu cut off this person's head with a knife.

Qiu Wenruo, who was immortal in the catastrophe, anxiously asked Lan Ziyi:

"Weihou, the people were cut off by the thieves, what can I do?

If the walls can't be stopped, no matter how much we fight, it's useless! β€œ
