Chapter 74: Bloody Battle
"Woo-woo-"
A loud horn sounded, and it was the signal for the barbarians to launch an all-army attack.
At that moment, countless barbarian soldiers, like wild horses on the loose, an army of 200,000 people, with no formation at all, rushed towards Wuguan City.
This is also the combat characteristic of the brute soldiers.
The barbarians fight, fierce and bloodthirsty, and they do not arrange troops at all, and they do not pay attention to team coordination.
On the battlefield, they have the same goal, but they are independent, and they do not pay attention to the formation of advancement, each of them only charges and kills the enemy by himself.
Barbarians like to fight wars, but it is precisely because of this that their individual combat ability is very terrifying!
Soon, the barbarians who rushed to the front were less than 100 meters away from the Wuguan City Gate, and at this time, the barbarians also spontaneously raised the round shield on their left hands to protect the vital point in front of them, and they still rushed forward without pause.
The strange screams and roars under the city gate could already be clearly transmitted to the city wall, Lu Chen silently estimated the distance, and then slowly raised his hand.
"Everybody's on orders!"
The thousands of wind soldiers on the city wall were waiting for the order of the main general, and after seeing his gesture, the people immediately put up their bows and wound them, and the sound of the bowstring tightening suddenly rang out, and the target was directly aimed at the barbarians who were charging towards the city gate.
When the vanguard of the barbarian army entered the firing range, Lu Chen waved his hand down sharply and shouted:
"Put!"
As soon as he gave the order, the five thousand wind soldiers on the city wall who had already drawn their bows immediately let go of their fingers that were clenching the tail of the arrow, and five thousand feather arrows flew out in an instant.
The black arrow, like a dense steel needle falling from the sky, fell into the crowd of barbarians in the blink of an eye, and the miserable howl suddenly rang out.
Under this condescending fire, although the barbarians held their shields high in their hands, they could not resist every arrow, and casualties were inevitable.
Especially in the places where the rain of arrows is most dense, the round shields of some brute soldiers are almost full of arrows, and they look like a steel hedgehog.
And some barbarians, the arrow wounds on the legs and feet, in fact, are not fatal at all, but they stumble to the ground because of the pain, but under the chaotic charge of this 200,000-strong army, once they fall to the ground, it means that they will be trampled to death by their companions behind them!
This is the real war!
Lu Chen looked at the overall situation, and when the first round of small arrow formations of the Wind Army was released, he immediately ordered no more volleys, but commanded loudly:
"Listen to orders! The armies fought according to the plan they had drawn up! The soldiers of the first formation are responsible for firing the arrows! The soldiers of the second formation are responsible for rolling the wood and stones, alternately! ”
He personally commanded this offensive and defensive battle this time, not only made a lot of effort in advance, but also prepared everything extremely well. The five thousand wind soldiers in the city wall had been divided into two formations by him long before.
Under his arrangement, the soldiers of the first formation were only responsible for setting up their bows and firing arrows, and after they were finished, they immediately retreated to take arrows from the quiver and prepare for the second round of arrows.
At this time, the soldiers of the second formation exchanged places with the crossbowmen, and threw all the things that had been prepared along the city wall, such as rolling logs, stones, and large maces, to prevent the barbarians from climbing the wall......
His arrangement is undoubtedly the best, because this not only effectively prevents the chaos of too many people crowded together, but also the soldiers below have enough time to prepare for the second round after completing the first round of work, and there will be no such rush situation.
At this time, the barbarian soldiers in front of them had already rushed to the city.
The barbarians liked to disrupt and plunder, and the Wind Army had never seen the barbarians use any long-range weapons before, but now they knew that instead of bows and crossbows, they threw sharp spears.
When the distance between the two sides was a few tens of meters, there were already barbarians with strong arms who began to take the lead in throwing their spears towards the city wall.
The spear hung in the wind, whistling, and before a wind soldier could react, he was pierced through the body by a spear, and the powerful impact force pierced the other soldier behind him!
Yes!?
Seeing this, all the soldiers of the Wind Army gasped. The range of a spear is indeed worse than that of a bow and arrow, but its powerful lethality is also more lethal than that of an arrow!
And this flying spear seemed to have made a start, and immediately afterwards, countless spears were thrown by the brutes, some of them collided in the air and fell to the ground, and some of them struck halfway up the city wall because of their lack of strength.
But more than that, it plunged into the crowd of the wind army, and in an instant, there was a terrible howl on the city wall, and blood was soon splattered everywhere......
As the saying goes, the ruler is short, and the inch is long.
At the beginning, when the distance was not enough, the barbarians could only advance against rounds of arrows, and at this time, a round of spears was thrown, and the wind army on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and they were beaten to find cover and did not dare to show their heads, and a large number of barbarians who rushed to the front also took this opportunity to immediately start to set up a ladder and climb up.
Lu Chen immediately saw the intention of the brute. The large number of brutes who rushed to the front had only scimitars in their hands, and they ignored anything and rushed forward! The main purpose of the barbarians who followed behind threw their spears was not to kill or injure as many people, but to suppress their own side and not dare to show their heads, so as to cover the vanguard to climb the city wall......
At this time, the barbarians' siege vehicles were also pushed to the city gate, and began to hit the Wuguan city gate again and again!
However, the ground in the pass has already been raised several meters, almost flooding most of the city gates, and the barbarians are just smashing the siege vehicles! I'm afraid don't even think about breaking down the gates!
"Everybody resists!! Don't bother at the gates! ”
"Quick! Carry the wounded brother down! Others on top ......"
Lu Chen roared hoarsely, looking at the soldiers who had just fought side by side, he fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, looking at the blood on the young faces, Lu Chen's eyes were almost red!
The spears of the brutes were still crashing against the city walls, and from time to time the wind soldiers screamed and were pierced through their bodies.
Suddenly, a spear shot at Lu Chen's head!
Wu Yue, who was standing next to him, reacted very quickly, and didn't see him make any movements, but his body was already in front of Lu Chen, and with one arm raised, he firmly grasped the spear that shot in his hand, and then threw it upside down!
His movements, all in one go, are clean and neat!
Even Lu Chen didn't know that there was danger approaching.
After blocking a few more spears, Wu Yue's brows furrowed deeply, and he turned sideways and said to Lu Chen: "My lord, it's too dangerous here, let's let the last general escort you down first." ”
However, Lu Chen didn't seem to hear his persuasion at all, and instead of paying attention to him, he drew his sword, strode to the inside of the city wall, and shouted at Guan Nei:
"Zhao Chuan!"
"It's now!"
"Arrow Array Preparation !!"
