Chapter 32: The Battle of the Defending the City (3)
With Zhao Dahu's order, the soldiers on the side of the Snow Dragon Army shouted.
Countless arrow feathers pierced the air, and with a murderous aura, they headed towards the Han army.
"Ah...... Ahh......h
Many Han soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.
At the same time, the other Han troops held the shields in their hands while resisting the arrows and feathers, and attacked forward.
The arrow feathers rained down like a piece of fresh life, and the shield of the Han army was a hedgehog, defending countless arrow feathers, however, the sword armor soldiers were not shield soldiers after all, their shields were too small, they could only defend part of the body, and the other parts were also exposed to the killing power of the arrow feathers.
Over there, the Han troops pushing siege engines and carrying ladders fell one after another, and each time they fell, other soldiers around them were supplemented and continued to attack.
Cao Fang saw that his army's attack was blocked, and hurriedly ordered: "Archers release arrows." ”
This time they went out to fight without carrying a heavy shield, firstly, the heavy shield was too large and inconvenient to carry, and secondly, he did not take into account that the Snow Dragon Army had such a strong combat effectiveness, and thought that it was just a rebel army with relatively poor equipment.
Who knows, the arrows of the Snow Dragon Army shoot down as if they don't want money, and they don't stop at all.
The archers on the Han army's side happened to run to a distance of an arrow from the city wall at this time, and when they heard Cao Fang's voice, under the leadership of a general, they quickly knelt on one knee and shot towards the city wall with a bow and arrow.
In front of the archers are three rows of sword and armor soldiers, using shields to form a defense against the opponent's arrows hitting their archers.
Whoosh, whoosh--
A rain of black arrows came overwhelmingly.
The reflex of the Han army killed and injured many people and horses of the Snow Dragon Army for a while, and the Snow Dragon Army couldn't raise its head.
Seeing this, the Han army rushed forward again with all their strength.
on the city walls.
"Strategist, be careful." Zhao Dahu roared, and with an axe, he split an arrow feather that shot at Su Mingda.
"Strategist, are you alright?"
"It's okay, quick, use all the door panels." Su Mingda hurriedly shouted.
At this time, many soldiers on the city wall had fallen to the ground with arrows and screamed loudly.
Hearing this, Zhao Dahu hurriedly ordered, and before that, the soldiers on the city wall had been trained in how to use the door panel.
A large number of soldiers quickly erected the door panels placed on the side.
Door panels were erected like a long dragon on the city wall.
The door was just some distance above the man, so that the soldier could hide behind the door and the archer could throw the arrow in his hand.
The battle has reached this time, archery no longer needs to aim, and when you aim, it is estimated that you have been shot to death, and the people below are densely packed, as long as you shoot down, the probability of being hit by the arrow is very large.
All, Su Mingda is not afraid, the door panel will block the accuracy of the archer, the door panel is just a little higher than the person, and the trained soldiers only need to adjust the angle of archery a little.
And the Han army that has already attacked is close after all, and Su Mingda also has a way to deal with them.
"Quick, let the bamboo guns go up." Su Mingda shouted.
There are not many people in the bamboo spear team, but they are all selected from the army, and everyone has a large arm strength.
The bamboo spear team threw the bamboo spear in their hands through a gap in each door panel.
The condescending bamboo spears, at close range, are more lethal than bows and arrows, and they keep spinning in the air.
The Han army under the city wall saw that they were not far from the city gate, but suddenly found that a long bamboo spear appeared in the air and came towards them.
Some hurriedly took out the shields in their hands to resist.
Before some could react, their bodies were pierced by bamboo guns and nailed to the ground.
And those who resisted, those who were unlucky, the shield in his hand was pierced, and the bamboo spear was also pierced on his body, after all, the shields in their hands were made of wood for the convenience of marching and fighting, and they had just resisted the arrow feathers, and the shields were full of holes.
Some Han soldiers, whose entire soles were nailed to the ground by bamboo spears, cried out loudly in pain.
In this way, the attack of the Han army was once again resisted, and they witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Snow Dragon Army at the cost of blood.
Under the city walls, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.
At this time, on the wall of the Snow Dragon Army, the ambulance team rushed up, took down one wounded soldier after another, and sent them to the Snow Dragon Hospital.
At the same time, the door panels were replaced one by one.
I saw a lot of soldiers, they put the replaced door panels on the ground, and plucked the arrow feathers on them one by one.
Seeing this, Xu Miaozhu couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the military advisor, the door panel is infinitely useful, not only to protect his army, but also to get a large number of arrow feathers, so that there will be no shortage of arrow feathers on his side, and the city can be guarded for a while.
In fact, the wonderful use of the door panel is also Su Mingda's temporary idea, and he uses a very special method at all times, and this door panel is also exquisite, not too high, which will make our archers unable to shoot far arrows because of too high a projectile, not too low, too low, and not fully protect their own soldiers.
On the other hand, the Han army is here.
Cao Fang dared to figure out what the other party's erected door panel was a little difficult to figure out at first, but after thinking about it, he figured out its benefits.
couldn't help sighing: "Wonderful, wonderful, there are really strange people in this Snow Dragon Army." ”
"General, quickly order all the armies to press, the front army has already suffered heavy casualties." Li Yuan looked at the battle on the battlefield in front of him and said anxiously.
Cao Fang ignored Li Yuan, turned his head to his own soldiers and said, "Let the archers come down." ”
"General, no, they came down, what should the sword soldiers do?"
"Li Yuan, are you the main general or am I the main general, believe it or not, I will kill you." Cao Fang said angrily, and the other party provoked him again and again: "Are you blind? ”
"See for yourself, no matter how many arrows you shoot, you can't kill a few people on the other side, but they have all taken them away and used them to kill our people."
"Do you have water in your head, get out of here, don't command here."
When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry, snorted coldly, and left here: "Hmph"
Old horseman, you wait for me, I will definitely tell the eldest prince that you have delayed the battle and commanded indiscriminately, resulting in heavy casualties in the army.
Seeing Li Yuan leaving, Cao Fang didn't say anything, but ordered: "Let the cavalry rush up, open the way, and send a thousand sword and armor soldiers up." ”
"Yes."
Snow Dragon Army, I want to see how you can stop my cavalry, is it really just those stones and logs?
Cao Fang knew that as long as the local troops were close to his city walls, then the other party would definitely throw stones and logs, which was one of the best ways for all large armies to defend the city.
