Waiting for Li Hui, Le Bao, Yang Wu and other "first battalion" of the Shang Shui soldiers to set foot on the city wall for the second time to take over the defensive posts of the friendly army, it was already approaching dusk, but the slave soldiers outside the city were still tirelessly trying to climb the city wall.
"Oh my God......
After stepping on the city wall, Li Hui looked around and secretly exclaimed, because he found that the city wall was covered with corpses, and there was simply no room for them to stand.
And the soldiers of the "Second Battalion" who were still fighting bloodily, while trying to prevent the slave soldiers from attacking the city wall, transported the corpses of friendly soldiers to the city, and when this battle was over, they burned the corpses and transported the ashes back to Shangshui County.
As for the corpses of the slave soldiers, the soldiers of the "Second Battalion" simply used them as wooden envoys, threw them outside the city one by one, and smashed down the slave soldiers who tried to climb the city wall.
Don't say it's inhumane, in fact, this is the cruelty of the battlefield: for the sake of victory, you can do whatever it takes!
"The 'Second Battalion' retreats! Retreat to the city! Retreat to the city! β
After the thousand-man general Ran Teng stepped onto the city wall, he shouted loudly, ordering the "Second Battalion" and the "First Battalion" to change guards, and the soldiers of the "First Battalion" such as Li Hui, Yang Wu, and Le Leopard quickly stepped forward to take over the posts of the friendly troops of the "Second Battalion" and replaced those tired friendly troops.
"Be fast!"
"'Erbu Battalion' all go down! Down the city walls! β
"Take the wounded away!"
The thousand-man, 500-man, and 100-man generals of each "battalion" began to take over the command.
The corpses of the soldiers and soldiers who died in the battle were quickly carried to the city, and those who still had a trace of breath were quickly taken to the city for treatment and hemostasis.
"Casualties of the Second Battalion...... More than us.'"
During the change of guard, Li Hui looked around, and he was incredibly surprised to find that the casualties of the "Second Battalion" were much higher than their "First Battalion", which made him feel incredible.
After all, according to common sense, the Horn slave soldiers faced by their "first battalion" were the opponents with full physical strength and high fighting spirit.
At this time, an old soldier with an arrow stuck in his left shoulder walked past Li Hui.
"Huh? Arrows?'
Li Hui looked at the arrow on the veteran's shoulder and was stunned, after all, slave soldiers didn't have high-grade weapons like bows and arrows.
Maybe the veteran noticed that Li Hui was looking at him, his steps paused slightly, and he told in a hoarse voice: "Be careful of the Horned Cavalry!" β¦β¦ Those brutes are no different from those bastard generals in our hometown. β
With that, the veteran patted Li Hui's shoulder and went down the city wall without looking back.
γβ¦β¦ What do you mean?'
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Hui's eyes.
And at this moment, Ran Teng, the thousand-person general, and a thousand-person general of the "Second Battalion" talked in a low voice, and then shouted loudly to both sides, and the words he shouted could be regarded as answering the doubts in Li Hui's heart.
"Attention soldiers, strictly guard against the Horned Cavalry from sneaking up with longbows! β¦β¦ Attention soldiers, strictly guard against the Horned Cavalry from sneaking up with longbows! β
"The Horned Cavalry took part in the attack?"
Li Hui subconsciously looked out of the city, and sure enough, he saw that more than 100 zhang away from the city, several cavalry were riding their horses around a circle, and quickly came towards the west city wall.
And Ran Teng, the general of the thousand people, obviously noticed this scene, and shouted sharply: "Beware of arrow attacks!" Beware of arrow attacks! β¦β¦ The shield hand protects Tongze! β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the cavalry outside the city had approached the western city wall, and I saw that they quickly turned a corner, ran parallel to the western city wall, and took this opportunity to draw their longbows and shoot a wave of arrows towards the city wall.
It was a real continuous rain of arrows, and the cavalry galloping around in a circle seemed to shoot arrows only if they met a certain condition - parallel to the western city wall and within range of fire - and this strange tactic, although there were not many arrows in a single time, but it was so continuous that the soldiers of the city wall did not even have a gap to raise their heads.
"Aren't those guys afraid of killing allies by mistake......"
Together with Jiao Zhong, a soldier of Wu Nei, who was also a shield bearer, he used a shield to protect Li Hui, Le Leopard, and Jiao Meng, and Yang Wu scolded and scolded.
But then the scene he witnessed made him silently shut up.
Yes, the Cornhorn cavalry outside the city didn't care about the life or death of the slave soldiers who were still climbing the city walls, and the arrows they shot were indiscriminate.
And this scene is extremely familiar to the vast majority of the veterans of the Shang Shui Army.
I think that when they were under the command of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, those generals of the Chu State were also like this, and they didn't care about their lives or deaths.
"(Chu language) these brutes!"
Not far away, a soldier scolded in a low voice in the dialect of the Chu State, and he didn't know whether he was scolding the horned cavalry outside the city, or the generals of the Chu State who led them in the first place and did not treat them as human beings.
"Bastard thing!"
"Do you think this will be able to demoralize our army?!"
"Don't fucking look down on people!"
The soldiers and soldiers of the merchant water on the city wall held back a wave of anger in their hearts.
They may be defeated by an enemy army one day, but it is impossible for such bastards to be in disregard of their own casualties!
"All the sons, suppress these Qiangjiao slave soldiers, and let the Qiangjiao people see the backbone of my Chu Xierlang!"
In the distance, there were the angry shouts of 2,000 people who would be Yi Jia.
Hearing this, those Shangshui soldiers who were holding back a wave of anger in their hearts actually stopped avoiding the rain of arrows, and even braved the rain of arrows to block the outside of the city wall, suppressing the slave soldiers who were still trying to attack the city wall.
"Boom-"
Another piece of heightened wooden wall was pushed down on the city wall by the Kajiao slave soldiers, which made the increased wooden walls on the city wall one less piece, and there was hardly much left.
But this did not damage the morale of the angry Shangshui soldiers at the moment.
Is it just braving the rain of arrows to fight the enemy?
The battlefield that Chu Xierlang has experienced has never been the enemy's back!
"Push them down!"
Thousands of people pointed at a group of slave soldiers who had climbed the city wall, and shouted.
In just a few face-to-face efforts, the group of about two dozen slave soldiers was quickly killed by the Shangshui soldiers on both sides.
Moreover, for a long time after that, the Horn slave soldiers, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, were unable to climb the city wall again.
Although part of the reason for this situation is that the Horned cavalry outside the city shot many slave soldiers who climbed the city wall with a rain of arrows, it is important to know that the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army also braved the rain of arrows of the Horned Cavalry.
The situation of the two is the same!
It can only be said that the strength of the Shangshui Army at this moment is enough to make the Dangshan Army and the Chenggao Army look at it!
The stupid Qiangjiao people used stupid tactics to provoke these Shangshui soldiers who were born in Chuxi and had also experienced such unfair treatment for a long time!
"Bang ......"
The shield soldiers of the Shang Shui Army used the shields in their hands to block the gaps in the city wall, and used their shields, armor, and flesh and blood to create a high wall that was difficult for the slave soldiers to cross.
Behind the shield soldiers, the rest of the merchant soldiers assisted in the battle with spears, while others quickly picked up the enemy corpses on the ground, used them as rolling logs and stones, and threw them to the outside of the city wall, knocking down one enemy after another who tried to climb the city wall.
"This group of soldiers...... Crazy? Ignoring the rain of arrows overhead......
A warrior of the Qi tribe who came up to the city wall to investigate the situation looked at this scene on the city wall in surprise, he really couldn't figure out how this group of Wei soldiers seemed to be crazy one by one.
However, after being stunned for a moment, he immediately remembered the task on his shoulder, and squeezed to the outer edge of the city wall to peek at the position of the cavalry outside the city.
It didn't take long for the warriors of the city to fight back with their longbows.
At the same time, on the high slope in the southwest corner of the city, under the battle flags of the "Yi Tribe" and the "Yanjiao Army", there were two teams of hundreds of people each, quietly watching this tragic siege battle.
And the two people in front of their respective teams, their faces were even more solemn.
These two people, one is Ordmer, a leader of the "Yi tribe", and the other is Ulubatu, the commander of the "Wuxu Royal Court Guard" and "Yanjiao Army".
"What do you think of this battle, young Commander Yanjiao?"
Glancing at Urubatu, the thousand-commander who looked to be only in his twenties, Ordmer asked with a solemn face.
I saw Ulubatu slowly exhale and said in a low voice: "(Zong language) Wei's army...... Far more powerful than we thought. β
"yes, who would have thought? Bitatu Xingshi gathered two or three hundred thousand people, but he was blocked by less than 30,000 people from the other side, and he fought hard for more than an hour, but he did not even attack the city wall...... "Erdemer said with emotion.
"No, those Hu slaves have already attacked the city wall, but it's just ......" Ulubatu said a fair word, and then turned his eyes to the west wall of the city, and added with a strange expression: "It's just that, somehow, it seems to have angered the Wei army......"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Erdemer and said tentatively: "(Shan language) What are the plans of the Yi tribe for this Wei army?" Help Bitatu? β
"Spare me." Hearing this, Erdem smiled bitterly and said: "The Wujiao tribe has been wiped out by an army of tens of thousands of Wei cavalry (referring to the Dangshan Army that robbed the horses of the Jiaojiao cavalry), and the clansmen and sheep have all been killed, and it is said that those Wei people have also left behind 'those who help the Jiaojiao die!'" The Scarlet ...... This is the revenge of the Wei people, the Wei people have never been docile lambs. β
After that, Erdemer shook his head again, and said with a straight face: "The Wei people of Ruocheng formed the 'Luoshui Alliance' in accordance with the 'Oath of Wuxu', and recruited the two clans of Yucheng and Lu to work for him. β¦β¦ Since the Wei people have chosen to live in harmony with my Sanchuan tribe, I will not be stupid enough to be an enemy of such a powerful army. β
"It's really not like what a Qiang person would say."
Hehe, not every Tribe is warlike? Our tribe will only aim its weapons at those who are truly foe. β
"The real enemy?" Urubatu frowned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Hu? Qiang? Bar? Still is...... "Qin", which is said to be preparing for foreign expansion? β
Erdemer let out a long breath, glanced up at the sky, and muttered: "(Zong language) Wei State, to the east of it, there is a large area of land in the conquered Song State, and their need for land is not very urgent, but 'Qin' is like the Wei people who moved out of Longxi hundreds of years ago, and they are eager to open up new territory......
"It turned out to be Qin ......"
Urubatu, the commander of the Yanjiao Army, was stunned when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
