"Qi Chen Junhou, the major general has sent the latest order. The archers stop their long-range diffuse and attack the enemy forces under the city! ”

"Got it!"

As a Luoyang official dialect with a thick Hunan accent sounded, a tall man with a height of more than eight feet and two inches, a fierce appearance, and the muscles of his right upper limb were obviously much thicker than those on the left side, came out of the crowd, poked out his head and quickly glanced at the city wall, and then shouted again: "Brothers, change the bow to a crossbow and diffuse towards our lower left!" ”

"Huh~~~!"

Chen Jian, the word Xingguo (a book friend who loves to read books). His ancestral home is Hengyang, Jingzhou. At that time, his father entered Yizhou as a low-ranking officer under Liu Bei, and then was forced to stay to marry a wife and have children. In the past 30 years since he was born, Chen Jian has adhered to the ancestral teachings and continued to fight for Shu Han.

It's a pity that Guan Da Sima is so high that he can't hear his voice - even if he hears it, he won't change the national policy for the sake of the wishes of a small military marquis. Therefore, no matter how eager Chen Jian was to return to Jingzhou, he could only follow Guan Yi to participate in this Northern Expedition first.

As a career officer, Jian Chen's command ability is very good. With his order, the soldiers of his department quickly changed the crossbow machine, and then began to shoot at the Jin soldiers in the lower left.

And the place where they shot was the place where Li Shisan and the others were busy setting up the ladder.

Listening to the sound of "whooshing" breaking through the air above his head, Li Shisan certainly knew that the enemy's archers had shifted their attention to the corner. He immediately began to shout according to the knowledge he had gained in the Luoyang Chinese Army: "Bow and arrow! Dodge them all against the wall! Our archers, shoot back! ”

It should be said that this order was given relatively correctly - if this section of the wall was not a bastion.

The classic city wall in ancient China was generally surrounded by four sections, south, south, west, and northwest into a rectangle or square. Each section of the wall is relatively straight.

In the ancient city attack and defense battle, as long as the attacking side was close to the city wall, it can be said that most of the distance from climbing the city wall was more than half of the success - because a long section of the city wall was straight, the defender on the wall had to attack the attacker at the base of the wall, either using limited resources such as rolling stones and sasswoods (too much volume, the hit rate was not high, and the lethality rate was even lower), or the defender risked his life to stretch half of his body out of the battlement wall to shoot arrows directly below.

Therefore, after hearing the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, Li Shisan instinctively beckoned his brothers to cling to the city wall—at 0 degrees from the city wall, the archers on the wall lost their angle. To shoot yourself, you have to stick your body out - and the archers behind you have a chance.

Unfortunately, Yixian is no longer the traditional Chinese city wall – it is now a fortress.

The so-called bastion is the construction of a number of protruding prismatic buildings outside the originally straight city walls - either solid simple prismatic or hollow towers. But whatever it is, these protruding prismatic buildings have turned the originally straight walls into a concave shape in disguise.

Now the problem is that Li Shisan and the others are clinging to the city wall, and the archers directly above this section of the city wall can't do anything about them. But people don't need to solve you. You'll be dealt with by the defenders on the salient of the bastion on the right.

"Hey, hey, why are these thieves so well-behaved? Lying neatly on the city wall one by one, exposing all your backs? It's all there, shoot at the group of Jin thieves who are facing our army with their backs, volley! ”

"Wow!"

Li Shisan, who was clinging to the city wall, nervously pressed his helmet with his hand, and then raised his head as much as possible to look directly above him: There is no appearance of a wood rolling down, it's very ...... Good?

Just as Li Shisan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a huge thrust on his back surged, followed by a sharp pain! Li Shisan instinctively looked back: What's the matter, there was actually a feather arrow stuck in his back! Was it the archer allies in the rear who were accidentally injured?

But no, if you were injured by mistake, why did all the comrades in the row around me have feather arrows stuck in their backs, and some of them were still hit by arrows in the back of the head, and they looked so dead that they couldn't die anymore.

While he was thinking about it, another feather arrow came galloping and slammed into Li Shisan's back shoulder. This time, he saw clearly, the feather arrow, coming from his upper right.

"The enemy archers there are so bold? Dare to lean out and shoot an arrow at me en masse? With such doubts, Li 13 turned around with difficulty, raised his head high, and then, three feathered arrows in a row directly hit his face.

"Something must be wrong...... with this question, Li Shisan closed his eyes permanently.

…….

There were balls on the high walls, and it would have been difficult to place the ladder in place. However, the enemy did not seem to be satisfied with this, and built the entire city wall in a strange shape. Then, the Jin soldiers who approached the city wall, no matter which wall they were attached to, would be fired from behind from at least two or even three directions. On this day, there were too many people like Li Shisan, the siege soldiers of the Jin army, who died tragically with endless doubts.

Gradually, the corpses of the Jin soldiers killed under the city wall of Yixian County piled up, and blood of different thicknesses gradually formed on the ground near the bottom of the city wall...... More than 100,000 soldiers of the Jin Army, because of the morale accumulated after two months of suffocation, gradually collapsed under such huge casualties, and finally, collapsed.

No matter what, no matter whether there is a supervising team in the rear or not, the soldiers besieging the city in the rear saw a large number of comrades in the front row dying in battle, and they no longer had the courage to continue to advance. They all slowed down their pace. The clever soldier simply went to the sides of the battlefield, looking for the remnants of the cement wall that had not been completely cleaned, and crouched there and did not want to get up again.

"Bell bell ......" Finally, the signal of Mingjin's withdrawal came. The soldiers of the Jin Army who heard this voice were all like they had been amnestied, and everyone quickly turned around and ran towards the rear.

……

"Hey, are we fighting a little too hard? It seems that the brothers in charge of melee combat on the north wall today have never even pulled out their knives, right? ”

"Hahaha, Chen Junhou, it seems like this. Your ring knife didn't open today, did you? ”

"Hmph, yes, these Jin thieves are too unbeaten."

Glancing at the corpses of the Jin army piled up under the city wall with a thickness of more than one zhang, Jiang Su looked up at the sun that had just begun to face westward: "It's just past noon, this Jin thief is really too weak." After shaking his head, he shouted again: "Come on, send a messenger, fall into the city and go down to the Jin army camp, and let the Jin general send people to clean up the bodies of their dead soldiers." ”

"Whoa!"

"Order all the teams defending the city to immediately count the materials and personnel battle damage, and I will immediately report to Da Sima."

"Whoa!"

After arranging all this, Jiang Su found a random place, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

In fact, after such a long time, the Jin army's siege made him not even a little nervous. So the body is not tired at this time. What he needed now was to sort out the shock he had caused in his heart after seeing the fortress, a fortress with great defensive power.

When Guan Yi ordered the transformation of Yixian, he, Luo Xi, Huo Zai and others all expressed their puzzlement. However, Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi and others resolutely carried out Guan Yi's orders. Now it seems that the unconditional trust of these old people in the Fuxing Society in Guan Yi is well-founded.

Today's battle didn't last long, and the enemy didn't make it to the top of the city, so the soldiers under his command were counted very quickly. Before Jiang Su could start his thoughts here, his office over there had already stood up: "Report to the young general, in the first battle this morning, the defense section of our northern city shot a total of 320 stone bullets and more than 13,000 bows and arrows, and 15 people were injured and one person was killed, all of which were caused by bows and arrows attacking from under the city wall. As for the number of kills, it's really hard to calculate. But according to rough statistics, there are still 2,000 kills and injuries. ”

"Good, then the general will go and report to Da Sima. Well, although the Jin thieves have temporarily retreated, they must also beware of the enemy's rapid return, so you must fulfill your duties! ”

"Well, please rest assured."

……

Walking quickly to the county office in the center of the city, before entering the main hall, I heard a hearty laugh, well, it seems that the other two sections of the city wall today are also very relaxed.

Sure enough, when he entered the conference hall, after comparing with Huo Zai, who was defending the eastern city, and Luo Zheng, who was defending the western city, Jiang Su found that the number of casualties on his part of the city wall was actually the largest.

The most exaggerated is this section of the city wall defended by Luo, because of the Diren troops who are responsible for the main attack here. So when they were within range of the bow and arrow, Luo attacked with a volley, and the enemy all retreated!

"Hehehe, very good, combined with Zichun's report, then we have consumed a total of more than 700 stone bullets, 25,000 bows and arrows today, more than 20 brothers were injured, and two were killed. Predict the number of kills exceeding 5,000? That's great! ”

"We are waiting for the Great Sima He."

"Hehehe, congratulations, congratulations."

Looking at Guan Yi who was smiling, Jiang Su gritted his teeth, and still asked a disappointing question: "Da Sima, we have seen the power of the fortress today." But the last general also had worries in his heart. ”

"Well, Zichun just wants to ask, if the enemy also builds their city into a fortress, it will be very difficult for us to attack in the future, right?"

"Exactly, Da Sima. Our enemies are not stupid, let's say stirrups, the enemy only saw them once, and after a little more than a month they were generally equipped with troops. Compared with the Jin thieves, our people are few and outnumbered, and if the enemy uses the fortress against us......"

"Zichun is very thoughtful!"

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the traverser point technology tree. If you mess around and invent it, it is likely to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 10,000 yourself! But this fortress......

"Zichun, ladies and gentlemen, in fact, although the fortress is indeed a great improvement in defense compared to the previous city wall, he is not omnipotent. A single bastion does not create an absolute defensive advantage. Since Ben Jiang dared to take it out at this time, he naturally had a way to overcome him. Hey, I really hope that Sima Wang will be stupid and drain all the blood of the Guanzhong Corps here. So that we can go and besiege Chang'an. When that time comes, let's give you a glimpse of Ben's latest siege methods! ”

"We have great confidence in Da Sima! I am willing to follow Da Sima to Chang'an City as soon as possible! ”
