Chapter 364: Yan Liang, a Bit Unpleasant!
After the tentative attack, it was found that the defenders of Shanshan Kingdom were all assembled in the center of the city and stood by, as if they were really preparing to start a fierce street battle with the defenders of the Great Chu Empire who had invaded the city.
Especially when all the residents in the dwellings have withdrawn, and they are all replaced by archers from Shanshanguo, and they are waiting for the soldiers of the Great Chu Empire to charge?
"There's no one here! I think we'd better rush in and kill them all, or let them run away, where are we going to find merit!" One of the two leading captains in charge of the temptation looked at his companion in front of him and said loudly.
"Wait!" The companion on the side looked at the impulsive and meritorious colleague in front of him and said loudly.
"The four of you are divided into two groups, and you will go from front to back to find out if there is an ambush in the house!" The cautious Chu military captain looked at the four Chu soldiers behind him and said with a smile.
"Whoa!" The four soldiers pulled out their waist knives, then climbed over the obstacle and began to crawl towards the houses.
"You four should go and have a look, too!" Another colleague looked at him and couldn't help but wave his hand, and also sent four soldiers to investigate the house this time.
"Stop!" The cavalry captain who followed behind looked at the infantry in front and made a gesture to stop advancing, and couldn't help but make a gesture for his subordinates to stop advancing.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The army on the left in the back suddenly stopped, and all looked at the city in front of them, waiting for the order to attack.
"Lord Lieutenant, there are a large number of archers buried in the houses in front of us, ready to pay me a heavy price as we advance." The four soldiers stepped back, looked at the captain in front of them, and said loudly.
"Lord Lieutenant, there are a large number of archers buried in the houses in front of us, and if we charge hard, I think we will lose at least half of our brothers!" The four soldiers looked at the commander in front of them, straightened the pot helmet on their heads, and said loudly.
"It seems that this time if I give the order to hurry over, I will really lose half of my combat power here!" The reckless lieutenant looked at his colleague in front of him and said with a look of trepidation.
"Behold! The only way we can do this is to ask for artillery bombardment from the rear to clear the way for us to pursue the defeated army!" The cautious lieutenant looked at the reckless colleague in front of him and said loudly.
"You immediately ask the artillery battalion to give us a little fire support!" The cautious lieutenant looked at the soldier and said loudly.
"Whoa!" The soldier looked at the commander in front of him and said with a serious and cautious expression.
"Lord Qiyu, there is news from the front that our artillery battalion needs to provide fire cover, because the houses in front are all Shanshanguo's archers."
"If our soldiers force their way through, we will definitely have a large number of casualties!" An adjutant general looked at Yan Liang in front of him and reported the news from the front line with a respectful face.
"So the troops at the front asked us to provide artillery support to the soldiers on the front line in the rear, and to plow all the houses where the archers were hiding in them with artillery." The adjutant general looked at Yan Liang in front of him and said loudly.
"It's a no-brainer! Tell Xiao Laosan to immediately provide artillery support to our soldiers in the city who are blocked in their advance! Yan Liang waved his big hand and looked at the deputy general in front of him and said loudly.
"Steer your way!" Then Xiao Laosan looked at the coordinates given by the soldiers in the city in front of him and said loudly.
"Fire!"
"Tom tom! Tom tom! Tom tom tom!" One hundred and fifty cannons roared furiously at the target in the city in front of them.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!" The next moment, the houses in the city were enveloped in the flames and sounds of explosions!
"Oh my God! Our artillery unit is really very lethal! Some of the soldiers' faces were illuminated by the light of the explosion in front of them, and they couldn't help but say loudly.
"That's not an advanced breech gun! The power of that single cannonball could knock over almost all the buildings within a radius of ten miles! An adjutant on the side looked at all the soldiers in front of him and said loudly.
"Damn it! What an artillery attack again! Our 3,000 archers are gone without even seeing the enemy! A soldier from Shanguo looked at the scene in front of him, and said loudly with a look of regret as he looked at the bombed and messy houses.
"Hurry up and organize a counterattack! When these shelling stops, the Chu army will definitely attack! ”
"Then we'll fight them in the streets and get them out!" Shanguo looked at these soldiers in front of him and said loudly.
"Their archers are gone! Well, let's start with our own archers! The two captains looked at the Shanshanguo army in front of them, which had lost their buffer protection, and said loudly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Since Xiang Kun wanted to ensure that the two major killing moves of the Great Chu Empire Expeditionary Force could continue to make achievements, the strong bows of the arrow array were all replaced with powerful crossbows that were several times stronger
Although there were only 500 crossbowmen of the Chu army here, these crossbowmen showed a hundred times more lethality than their own numbers.
Five hundred crossbowmen shot in five rows, and five hundred reinforced crossbow arrows shot directly through the Shanshan soldiers in rudimentary leather armor.
Even the Shanshanguo soldiers who raised their wooden shields to resist the arrows were shot through by the crossbow belt, and the crossbow arrows that pierced through the chest directly took the life of one of the soldiers behind them before they completed their mission and stopped working.
"It's a crossbow! This is the unique crossbow arrow of the Central Plains army!" Looking at the moment in front of him, the loss of nearly half of his own troops was almost half, most of them were one arrow that could take two people, and it was not strange that the range was close enough to take three people.
So some soldiers remembered something, and suddenly remembered something in their minds, this kind of weapon turned out to be more than artillery, which made these Shanshanguo feel palpitations.
"Release, release! Release, release! Put it on!" After three collective volleys, 1,500 crossbow arrows took away about 2,000 Shanshanguo soldiers.
"We surrender! We surrender! We surrender!" Under these circumstances, which seemed to have a steady stream of crossbow arrows, the remaining more than 2,000 people of the 5,000 Shanshan State defenders surrendered to the Great Chu army with trepidation!
"What did they surrender! At least didn't fight? Yan Liang looked at the news in front of him and couldn't help but say with a very unhappy face.
And the next thing that is even more unacceptable is that the king of Shanshan, the capital of Shanshan Kingdom, has also surrendered to Yan Liang!
