Chapter 302: Closing the Door and Catching the Thief End
When Gu Xiuyuan's indifferent and ruthless voice fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground from the direction of the city wall, and after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Ohno Nayo's heart "groaned", and when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw countless iron horsemen hurrying along the road in the middle of the street, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the light cavalry of the battle guard rushed to arrive.
"Cavalry raid, abandon the prisoners, counterattack!" Onoyo shouted hysterically.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Crossbowmen cover, catapult attack! Junra Ozawa roared loudly.
Nayo Ohno and Junra Ozawa gave the order to fight back at the same time, at this moment they all understood that all this was a conspiracy of the Xia Dynasty, both of them were remorseful, regretting that they should not blindly enter the city, and now that they have fallen into this Hongya Province, they must find a way to rush out, at this moment, they put all their hopes on the crossbowmen on the city wall.
Before they came, they carried 15,000 catapults, 200,000 siege crossbows, and 600 wall-breaking crossbows, although there were not many people reserved outside, but there were three legions on the city wall, and in order to occupy the city wall, those three legions carried a full 100,000 siege crossbows, and these siege crossbows plus the catapults outside were enough to cover the retreat of the main force.
After receiving the military order from the two of Ohno, the three legions above the city wall immediately launched a fierce attack into the city, and the crossbow arrows were shot one after another, like a rainstorm pear blossom towards the city.
Just after the siege crossbow attacked, the catapults outside the city also attacked, and countless stone bullets smashed towards the city of Hongya Province like meteorites falling to the ground, and for a while, countless crossbow arrows mixed with countless stone bullets fell to the inner city, and those drunk war guards, the Japanese siege soldiers who were responsible for escorting, and the cavalry who came on, were all wiped out.
The crossbowmen also knew how to distinguish between friend and foe, and tried not to let the crossbow arrows hurt their own people, but the catapults outside were not like this, because the catapults were built outside the city, because they were blocked by the city wall, so they could not be targeted, so after launching an attack, they could only attack indiscriminately, hurting the war guards and killing many of their own people.
Just when the Japanese invaders frantically counterattacked, suddenly, there was a wind whistle in the city, accompanied by this wind whistle, a black cloud of arrows flew towards the top of the city wall, and behind the arrow cloud flew a black cloud composed of countless crossbow arrows, seeing the arrow cloud flying like locusts over the city wall, Ohno Nayo's heart was cold, and he secretly said, "Oops! ”
Sure enough, after the rain of arrows fell, it instantly took away the lives of countless Japanese crossbowmen, it turned out that this was a counterattack from the battle guards, just now, fourteen archer legions, eight siege crossbow legions, launched an attack on the city wall at the same time, because of the fear of smashing the city wall, the catapult legion and the wall-breaking crossbow legion did not dispatch, otherwise, the number of casualties of the Japanese is still large.
After the battle began, the army on the side of the battle guard army was finally dispatched, under Ling Xia's arrangement, Cheng Zhen's light cavalry team led ten cavalry regiments to attack head-on, their goal was to solve the catapults outside the city and block the road for the Japanese to retreat. At the same time, 100,000 shield soldiers covered twenty infantry regiments in the middle of the street.
As for the fourteen archer legions in the rear, the eight siege crossbow corps were also responsible for assisting the infantry on the ground to annihilate the enemy in addition to the Japanese crossbowmen on the top of the city wall, and with the long-range support of the archers, the casualties on the side of the battle guards were greatly reduced, and seeing that they were locked up in the city by the war guards, Nayo Ohno and Junra Ozawa also went crazy.
Originally, the two of them were still worried about their own soldiers, afraid that the crossbowmen would hurt their own people, but now they couldn't care about these anymore, and the two ordered the crossbowmen to carry out indiscriminate attacks, and let the soldiers build the wall-breaking crossbows, destroy the city gates and walls of Hongya Province, and even if they died, they had to pull enough battle guards on their backs.
