Chapter 177: Impregnable

"Click......

30,000 island cavalry brandished waist knives in the direction of the main city, when they rushed to the city gate still three or four miles away, suddenly stopped, the person who came was the 139th cavalry division of the island country, looking at the towering city wall in front of them, the division commander Hengye Fengchi asked the deputy general with a puzzled face: "Is this the goal of our attack?" Are we in the wrong place? ”

"Strange? Is this it? After hearing this, the adjutant general took a military map, looked left, right, up, and down, and after reading it, the adjutant general scratched his head in confusion, and said in an uncertain tone: "Commander of the Qiqi Division, according to the location marked on the map, our goal is indeed here, but how is ----- here different from before?" ”

"Oh my God, how did they make the walls so high in just a few days? With such a high wall, our short spears and bows can't shoot into it. Looking at the ten-meter-high city wall opposite, the commander of the enemy division hesitated for a moment, and then the man shook his head: "Change the city gate, this city gate is not suitable for our cavalry, leave this place to those archers or siege soldiers." ”

……

Four hours later, a team of archers and 10,000 archers galloped all the way under the cover of a shield soldier 10,000 people, riding war horses all the way, it seemed that their target was the main city, when these people saw the main city, after being stunned, they still chose to attack, which should have heard the advice of the commander of the cavalry division before, and specially rushed over to test the defense of the main city.

"Don't rush them just yet, get them closer." Ling Xia and Huya were on the city wall, looking at the army gathered in the distance, Ling Xia asked Situ Chenfeng to pass the order: "Give them a hard blow, let those island invaders experience the feeling of teeth, Boss Luo and Situ Chenfeng have already assembled soldiers and horses, hehe----- these soldiers can't go back." ”

"Ono-kun, when did the other party's city wall be renovated? I remember the last time we visited, the walls weren't as high as that. The Shield Master looked at the impregnable city wall in the distance, and his heart was a little frightened.

"What's the use of high? Only cowards rely on the city wall to increase their sense of security, even if this city wall is built high, it is still a tofu shelf in my eyes, Xia Chaozhong is useless, go, see how I break through the main city on the north side today. ”

The captain of the bow and arrow sneered, then took out his bow and arrow, and led the soldiers to charge on horseback, and when they rushed to the trap area, because the war horse stepped on the thistle, the team had to stop, but they did not realize that this had entered the shooting circle of the arrow tower of the city wall.

"Whew!"

Seeing that the enemy entered the attack range, Huya took out a ringing arrow, bent the bow and shot it into the sky, after the soldiers in the arrow tower and the watchtower saw the arrow, they began to shoot without saying a word, and the 10,000 soldiers in the 2,000 arrow towers, plus the forty siege crossbows in the watchtower launched an attack at the same time.

"Woo Woo ......"

Arrows shot out of the turret like a torrential rain

"Whoosh ......"

In the endless rain of arrows, there were even crossbow arrows.

"Enemy attack, shield soldiers, what are you doing? Defensive formation, hurry over and protect us. The Captain of the Bow and Arrow roared.

"Whoosh! Bang! Burst! ”

"Ono-kun, the enemy has equipped siege crossbows, they have locked on us, and we can't get through at all." The shield captain shouted loudly against his shield.

Indeed, as the shield commander said, the forty siege crossbows in the watchtower are specially designed to pick the enemy's shield soldiers, and the crossbow rods do not need money to shoot in ambush, although the shields of the Japanese are thick, but no matter how thick they are, they are not as thick as the city gates, and under the fire of those heavy siege crossbows, the shields are actually penetrated by the crossbows, and the soldiers with shields are nailed to the ground by the crossbows in a stunned manner.

"Yaga." Angry scolding, the captain of the bow and arrow looked at the situation of the shield soldiers, and immediately ordered to retreat, but the soldiers in the arrow tower did not give them a chance at all, and saw that they could not retreat, so the captain of the bow and arrow had to let the soldiers hide under the war horse to counterattack.

"Sir, our arrows can't be shot at all, the enemy is not exposed to the surface of the city wall as usual, this time they are hiding in the arrow tower surrounded by blue bricks and stones, the arrow tower has blocked all our arrows, they can attack us from the shot, but we can't fight them back." Several bows and arrows came to report the situation.

"Shield soldier, take us back and retreat." Seeing the horses fall one by one, the soldiers died one after another, and the captain of the bow and arrow hurriedly called for help and retreated.

……

"General, aren't we going out yet? A little later, the pirates outside will run away. Inside the city gate, Boss Luo looked at Ling Xia in a hurry, and watched the soldiers outside the city retreat one after another, Boss Luo jumped a little.

"What's the hurry? Now the enemy still has combat effectiveness, the reason why they are so embarrassed now is because their archers can't shoot through the arrow tower, and the shield soldiers can't block the siege crossbow, so they seem panicked and helpless, but if you go out, their archers have a target, although the bow and arrow can't penetrate the arrow tower, but it can pierce your armor, so you give me stability. ”

After listening to Ling Xia's words, Situ Chenfeng patted Boss Luo on the shoulder and comforted: "General Luo, the division commander is also for the safety of our brothers, those brothers under his command are born and die with us, you don't want to let the brothers be hurt because of a momentary hurry, the division commander is kind, let's just take it." ”

Just as Ling Xia and the others were talking from inside the city, the situation outside the city changed again, seeing that the archers were about to be shot, the shield soldiers stacked two huge shields together, the two soldiers each held one end, thousands of shields formed a horizontal shield wall, ran to the bottom of the city wall to meet those archers, and after protecting the archers inside, they slowly retreated.

Although the siege crossbow can shoot through a huge shield, but it can't penetrate the shield stacked on two sides, with the protection of those shield soldiers, the soldiers in the arrow tower are helpless below, however, the situation is relative, although the archers on the city wall can no longer continue to hurt the enemy below, but the archers below are sandwiched in the middle by the shield soldiers, and there is no way to bend the bow to counterattack.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xia immediately ordered loudly and shouted: "It's now, open the city gate and kill the enemy!" ”

"Squeak......

The huge gates are slowly opening!

"Kill!"

When the city gate was opened, a team of cavalry and a field army of 10,000 people rushed out of it, and the cavalry horses were all wrapped with horn iron under their hooves, so they were not afraid of the damage of the thistle, and the field army was also wearing special boots, so they didn't have to worry about the thistle under their feet, they rushed out of the city gate, and roared and killed the enemy on the opposite side.

"What's going on? The battle guards used to retreat in the city to defend, how could they have the courage to charge this time? "Those invaders in the island country have long been accustomed to the strategy of the war guards not being able to retreat, and they never thought that the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty would actually open the city gate to charge, so when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all a little uncomfortable, and they didn't know how to face this situation.
