"Boom, boom......, boom" A sound like thunder sounded, and the big shield of the Humeng army was like paper paste under the sharp cold light of the crossbow arrow, and it was penetrated by the latter without hindrance, and the body of the soldier with the shield in both hands, under the huge inertia of the crossbow arrow, blasted towards the rear row, and the crossbow arrow, which was originally only a linear damage, at this time, because of the blessing of the broad shield, the range of the spread became wider, so that the military formation within the range of its three columns was more or less disturbed.

Twenty crossbow arrows forcibly tore out twenty openings in Humeng's military formation.

"It worked!"

Not only Yan Wuji, but all the officers and soldiers on the city wall looked at the cracked hole with a happy face, although there were other Humeng soldiers who quickly made up for it with a new big shield, but it didn't matter, as long as they didn't change the material of the shield, even if they changed it a hundred times, the crossbow bolt could still easily pierce them.

"All bed crossbows, lock the big shield, attack indiscriminately!" Yan Wuji excitedly shouted out the next order.

And Temuter, who was behind the Humeng army, also saw the situation in front of him clearly at this time, and his heart couldn't help but chuckle, followed by anger.

"Can't you tell them to run faster? Such a slow speed, as a live target for Yan Jun? A roar of rage finally could not hold back the eruption from Temuthel's mouth.

The lieutenant general beside him was also anxious, that kind of giant shield was the first time to be put into the battlefield, and he didn't know the specific advantages and disadvantages of this kind of thing, but now Shangguan asked a question, and he had to answer, so he could only stubbornly say: "It may be that this giant shield is too heavy, so the soldiers can't move quickly." ”

"Who swore in front of the Khan that this shield was indestructible? Now that I can't even defend the border fortress with the crossbow arrows, I will definitely play the Khan and send him to the Broken Sky Trench to feed the eagles. Temutel resisted the urge to scold his mother and turned his gaze to the front again.

At this time, the Humeng army formation had already suffered several rounds of Yan Jun's bed crossbow, and there was some restlessness in the originally stable military formation, and there was restlessness due to fear.

Death is not terrible for these battlefield veterans who lick blood from the knife edge, what is terrible is the unknown of death, in this slow march, they are the ants on the ground, and the Yan army on the city wall is a giant who can control their fate at will, who they want to pinch to death, they only need to fire a crossbow arrow, and then watch the ants they pick in the crossbow arrow at the moment of the arrival of the crossbow arrow to fly ashes and annihilate.

This kind of situation where their lives are dominated by others, and they are powerless, suddenly magnified the fear that these battlefield veterans can bury in their hearts tenfold, and even faintly reached the critical point of collapse.

In the face of the slow Humeng army formation, although there were more people than before, the Yan army in Xiema Town felt much easier than the last battle, and some of them even pointed at the Humeng soldiers who were suffering below with their companions.

As if watching a play, watching as the crossbow arrows pierced into Hu Meng's military formation, bringing a little wave, and then slowly rippling away.

......In the hurried camp of Humeng, a fast horse stopped in front of the command platform of Temuter, and a centurion rolled swiftly when the war horse was not completely stable, and landed steadily on the horse's back.

Because it was right under the stage, Temutel had already noticed this, and the centurion quickly ran to Temther and knelt down and said: "Great Commander, Khan Zan Commander sent a report in the future, the Yan army's crossbow arrows are too fierce, and the army's heart has been hidden in chaos, so I request that the troops be collected for the time being, and after returning to the camp for rectification, we will attack again." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another horse came galloping, but apparently his riding skills were not as good as the previous centurion, and he had to wait until the horse had come to a steady stop before he quickly dismounted and ran.

"The Great Commander, the Commander of Huerdu sent the last general to report that the big shield could not defend against the Yan army's crossbow arrows, but seriously slowed down the attack speed of the army, at this time the army has been complaining, and there is a possibility of rout at any time, I request that the troops be temporarily withdrawn, and then return to the camp to pacify and rectify, and then discuss it in the long run."

Now when he heard the report of the front-line sergeant under his command, and saw the embarrassment of the Humeng army under the town of Xiema, he scolded angrily "The traitor misunderstood me", and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops.

……

"Hahahaha" There was a burst of joyful laughter on the north wall of Xiema Town, because it was estimated that it was impossible for the Humeng people to quickly organize an attack again after retreating, so Qiu Xin and Siwei Qianzong gathered here at this time to exchange each other's views on this battle, this is a tradition that Qiu Xin has always adhered to, as long as there is enough time, he will call the generals under his command together to exchange knowledge and experience in this battle.

"Battalion commander, do you know that when I saw the big shield that was taller than a person, my legs were weak, and I thought to myself, try my best to cut a few more for a while, and go down so that I can give an explanation to those old brothers who went before me, but I didn't expect that the wooden board was useless, and when I went down, even the guy with the shield behind me came to a cold heart."

Du Luo, the head of the West Guard Qian, who is responsible for defending the western city wall, joked with everyone, in fact, he also said what most people wanted, behind these laughs, what was hidden was the courage to face life and death in a moment, if those big shields were really as strong as they looked, if the power of the bed crossbow was not enough to penetrate those big shields, then at this time the town of Xiema was probably bathed in a shouting and wailing.

And Hu Meng definitely occupies an absolute advantage, although the Yan army can still resist, but it is just a struggle to the death, and the fall of Xiema Town is only a matter of time.

"Thank you to the people who made these shields." Qiu Xin looked at the large shields scattered under the city with some amusement, which were left behind by Hu Meng after his retreat, and they did not bring back these large shields that looked well-made, and it is estimated that they will not even have the will to use them to light the fire for warmth.

"What's next for us?" After the joke, it was the point, and everyone turned their eyes to Qiu Xin, after all, he was the supreme commander.

Qiu Xin rubbed his temples with a little headache, and turned his gaze to Yan Wuji, "Wuji, what do you think?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Yan Wuji's face became serious, "Although Hu Meng suffered a setback today, they discovered the problem in time, and they also took corrective measures immediately, which did not cause more serious follow-up, I think Hu Meng's camp must be doing various things to stabilize the army's morale at this time."

And according to my observation today, the commander of the troops participating in the battle today has not been changed, which means that the troops of this attack are still the troops of the last night attack, and we all know that Humont has reinforcements arriving today, and there are quite a few of them, so this means that these newly arrived troops have not officially entered the battle, and they may be too tired because of the long march, so I guess they should be recuperating at this time, which means that there is still a strong and large number of new forces in the Humeng camp eyeing us. ”

"Yan Qian always has a point." Nan Weiqian, who was in charge of the river on the side, said, "There was once a crazy Humeng who used corpses to fill the walls of a city, at the cost of three times the names of the soldiers of the defenders, and although the Humeng people were crazy, they finally achieved their goal.

And now, there are 60,000 Humeng troops on the opposite side, and we only have 4,000, a difference of fifteen times, and I have heard some rumors about this Temmutel in his past, and I personally think that at some point, his madness can be compared with that Humeng man. ”

Qiu Xin nodded and said: "Xiema Town is the only way for Humeng to Tudingzhou, it is like a sharp sword against the neck of Humeng's wolf, if he wants to make any progress, he must get rid of this sharp sword, if Hu Meng is only here to fight the autumn wind this time, they will not fight to take this sword, but if he is really hurtful, then he can do anything." ”

"Hey" Qiu Xin finished speaking, sighed, and looked at the Humeng camp stretching in the distance, "With the current situation in front of you, who would believe that this is just to fight the autumn wind." ”

Zhu Ziming answered: "What does the battalion commander mean is to ask for help from Yuguan? ”

Several people swept their eyes at each other, obviously this answer had already been generated in the hearts of several people, and now it seems that this has the same feeling as the hero, including Liu Zhilan, who has been standing next to him silently, can't help but smile.

"Battalion commander, the matter of reinforcements should be arranged as soon as possible." Yan Wuji felt that he was a little talkative, but he couldn't help but remind him out loud.

Qiu Xin didn't have the slightest expression of displeasure, but stared at Yan Wuji and asked, "Then Wuji, you say, when is the best time for who and where to break through?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people couldn't help but fall into silence, yes, although asking for help is just a matter of one sentence, but if you really want to do it, you find it difficult to reach the sky.

Outside the city is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, let alone people, even if it is a bird, they won't let you pass, that is, a matter of one arrow, if not, then two arrows, three arrows, or even thousands of arrows.

So the selection is the first difficulty, which reminds Qiu Xin of Liu Debiao, after all, he is a lesson from the past, this is not a good errand, whether he can go back or not is a trivial matter, I am afraid that I will not be able to die quickly when the time comes.

Long......

"Camp commander, I'll go." Everyone is looking for prestige, and they are very familiar with the owner of the voice, Liu Zhilan, deputy president of Beiwei.

A hint of strangeness flashed in Qiu Xin's eyes, but before he could give an answer, Yan Wuji on the side said loudly: "No, Mr. Liu, you still stay in the city and command the northern guards to defend the city, let me go about the breakthrough." ”

The other Sanwei Qian always glanced at each other, and they all saw helplessness and self-blame in each other's eyes, there was Liu Debiao in the past, and his extremely martial arts cultivation was rarely rivaled here, so many times, when encountering difficult things, Liu Debiao was asked to ride a horse and lift an ax to get it.

And now that Liu Debiao is gone, there seems to be no such role in the independent battalion of Xiema Town that can hold the stage at the last moment, after all, there are very few extreme martial arts cultivators in this world, and even fewer are cultivated to be strong, and there are very few who are willing to stay in the army and serve their family and country to the death!

To break through is to fight the enemy face to face, not to stand on the platform and raise the sword to command the troops, one by force, the other by intelligence, completely two different directions.

Qiu Xin understood why Liu Zhilan would take the initiative to ask Ying, he was the deputy general manager of Beiwei, if he succeeded in being ordered, then Yan Wuji would definitely not be able to leave again, otherwise there would be no one to lead the command of Beiwei.

Yes, he wanted to protect Yan Wuji in this way, but obviously this was not the result Qiu Xin wanted.
