841 Yijing Offensive and Defensive Battle (1)
"Roar! Roar, roar, roar! "The flag is swaying, the high platform is piled up, and Yuan Jun is swearing.
Ritual is a special form of communication between human beings and nature. By performing some special ceremonies, human beings can complete the exchange with nature and receive the gifts of nature. For example, in ancient times, the sun was too violent, the climate was arid, and the crops dried up and died.
The ancients sacrificed the hearts of living people through the ritual of worshiping the sun, and after the exchange was established, the sun was no longer so violent, so that crops could grow.
And now the ceremony of the high platform established by Yuan Shao's army is just a nominal oath.
After the oath, not long after, the sound of horses' hooves, as fast as lightning, a burst of dust and smoke on the ground, a burly general wearing black armor, behind the horse galloped wildly, lifting the smoke and dust was not broken, and the cavalry behind him, in response to the sound, raised the horse and whipped.
This person was the new general of the Yuan army, valued by Yuan Shao, and led the cavalry.
When the famous generals of the older generation either died on the battlefield or broke their old blades, and the country did not change, there were vague young people wearing Xuan armor and pulling white rainbows, and they would always come out of the crowd without knowing the height of the sky.
"Roar, roar, roar!" After the cavalry, groups of soldiers with swords marched out in an orderly manner.
The straight blade is about 40-50 cm, the knife is two fingers wide, the handle is 15 cm, and there is a round ring at the end for decoration.
Anyone with a little common sense can see that this is not a typical Han Dynasty ring head knife?!
Born during the Han Empire, the Huanshou Sword was the most advanced and lethal melee cold weapon in the world at that time.
The length is basically about 100 centimeters, and the well-known [One Han Enemy Five Hu] has the credit of this legendary weapon.
At this time, among the Yuan army, there was no shortage of elite soldiers and strong generals.
The Yuan army moved together, such a big movement naturally could not hide the Gongsun Zhan army on the opposite side, and after a while, a group of Youzhou troops rushed to reinforce to assist the Youzhou army deployed at the head of Yijing City, and fight against the Yuan army that may attack at any time.
Yuan Shao immediately waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Drumming!" Get ready to attack! ”
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
In the sound of blood-pumping war drums, the Yuan army in the front slowly spread out to the two wings, and the soldiers and horses of the brigade began to gather.
"Woo woo woo"
"Knock Knock"
In the array of the Yuan army outside Yijing, the sound of military trumpets and war drums sounded, which meant that the Yuan army was about to launch an offensive against Yijingcheng.
For a moment, it was as if a drop of water had fallen into the boiling oil pot, and the entire battlefield erupted in an amazing roar at once.
Yijing City, built by Gongsun Zhan, the city wall is high and thick, and there are three sides of the northeast and south to attract rivers to surround the moat.
The suburbs in these three directions were not enough for Yuan Bing to set up a formation, and at best they were only enough to send a small force to contain Yi Jingcheng.
The main direction of attack still has to be placed to the west of Yijing City.
The "moat" that Yuan Jun filled in before, that is, the ditch dug by man in the west of Yijing City, connected to other rivers in the north and south, but in the last half a day, it was secretly dug up by the people in Yijing City led by the other party.
But unfortunately, in front of Yuan Jun's bridge equipment, this moat did not play the slightest role, but in a moment, Yuan Bing laid a wooden plank on this moat and "transformed" it into flat ground.
"Push!"
"Speed up!"
At the urging of several Yuan generals, a team of Yuan soldiers struggled to push more than a dozen well carts, preparing to launch the first wave of offensive.
During this period, there were three groups of Yuan soldiers with a number of about 1,000 soldiers, each pushing five well chariots, heading towards the east, north and south of Yijing City, the purpose of which was naturally to contain the soldiers in Yijing City and disperse their forces.
In addition to the five well carts that went to the two city walls in the southeast, on the west city wall alone, Yuan Jun dispatched seventeen well carts in one go, and even about a dozen well carts were still waiting in the distance.
It stands to reason that the walls of Yijing are more than five zhang high, that is, about five adult men stacked vertically, and with the height of the terrain, the crossbowmen on Yijing should have the upper hand.
However, Yuan Jun's Jing Lang Chariot broke this situation that should have appeared, and when the Jing Lang Chariot stopped moving forward, dozens of Yuan Jun crossbowmen climbed to the top of the Jing Lang Chariot, stood on a platform no less than the height of Yi Jingcheng, and fired wave after wave of arrows in the direction of the city wall.
"Can you prepare something to start a fire?"
Tian Yu stood at the head of the wall, looked at Yuan Jun outside the city expressionlessly, and asked the deputy general on the side in a deep voice.
"General Tian rest assured, he is ready."
A veteran who was over half a hundred years old replied in a deep voice.
At this time, about three well carts have gradually approached the city wall, seeing this, the soldiers of the Youzhou army on the city wall immediately launched an attack, only to see that the famous archer, from the oil drum in front of him, took out an arrow cluster wrapped around the oil cloth, and after the soldiers on the side lit the oil cloth with torches, they shot it at the well cart outside the city with a whoosh.
"Tuk-tuk." In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fire arrows were hit on each of the three well carts, and after a while, the straw ropes, hemp ropes and other objects on these well carts slowly burned.
"Extinguish the fire! Put out the fire! ”
Several nearby Yuan generals immediately shouted loudly, ordering the three well carts to stop immediately, and then sent people to board the well carts and pour water from top to bottom with wooden barrels to try to extinguish the fire.
"Boom"
One of the carriages collapsed due to the flames, and it seemed that the hemp rope that held the beams and pillars of the body was burned and fell apart, leaving the inside of the carriage exposed.
The other two were saved by Kankan.
"Keep firing the arrows!"
Seeing the results of the rocket, the generals of Youzhou in Yijing City cheered up their spirits and shouted loudly, urging the archers in the city to continue to attack the other well chariots with fire arrows.
After all, while the three wells were damaged, the rest of the wells were still slowly approaching the city wall.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
As arrows with fire were shot from the city wall of Yijing City, one after another well carts caught fire on the way to the city wall, causing the Yuan soldiers to rush to extinguish the fire.
"Shoot the arrows! Aim for those Yuan soldiers! Tian Yu's face was tense, his lips were pursed, and there was no wave in his tiger eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to sacrifices in war.
Soon, in the midst of the noisy voices, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army at the head of Yi Jingcheng launched the first wave of arrow rain attacks towards the charging Yuan soldiers.
Suddenly, I saw an overwhelming array of arrows coming towards the north bank, and even some of the old soldiers subconsciously held their breath at that scene.
I have to say that even those veterans of the Yuan army who have participated in many battles can't help but be stunned.
So much so that those soldiers did not experience the terrifying scene of "ten thousand arrows firing at once" until this moment, which made them even unconsciously think of the locust swarm they had ever seen.
"Ahh
"Ahhh
After a while, the soldiers of the Yuan army fell to the ground one after another, but the morale of the soldiers did not decrease, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back picked up the logs that fell to the ground and continued to move forward.
