Chapter 178: Impregnable

"What's going on? The soldiers and horses of the Xia Dynasty actually dared to take the initiative to attack? ”

"I don't know? The Xia Dynasty army had been hiding behind the door before. ”

"It's because the Xia Dynasty army didn't dare to come out, that's why we came."

"Yes, yes, yes, I knew that they dared to go out of the city, so we wouldn't be so arrogant."

Just when the soldiers of the island country were muttering in surprise, the pursuing soldiers had already rushed to the front, and seeing that the other party had sent infantry and cavalry, the captain of the bow and arrow immediately ordered: "The archers are ready to set up, shoot to block the pursuers behind." ”

"Report to Master Wanfu, we are surrounded by soldiers with shields, and we can't bend our bows and arrows at all, unless we let these shield soldiers scatter, otherwise our bows and arrows will not be able to shoot back at all." Several of the commanders who were caught between the shield soldiers replied loudly.

"All the shield soldiers obeyed the order and immediately dispersed, giving the archers room to play." Hearing this order, all the shield soldiers of the island country put away their giant shields, so that those archers could bend their bows and shoot at the battle guards behind them, but they forgot that there were still battle guards looking at them overhead, and these shield soldiers had just removed the giant shields with their front feet, and the back feet of the arrow towers on the city wall continued to exert their might.

Before the archers of the island country could draw their bows and load their arrows, the arrows above their heads were like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, mixed with a gust of wind whistle, and the arrows pierced into the bodies of the island soldiers, skewering those invaders into meat skewers, and in an instant, the wails of crying father and mother sounded below, seeing this, the shield soldiers hurried to the rescue, but it was too late.

At this time, Situ Chenfeng's light cavalry had already caught up with them, and as soon as they met, Situ Chenfeng brandished the horse chopping knife in his hand, and slashed down the head of the archer, "poof......", a head grunted to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted out of his neck, and the archer commander who defied the Xia Dynasty army was beheaded.

After beheading the opponent's generals, Situ Chenfeng let the cavalry charge into the enemy crowd, and divided the opponent into a small team with a war horse, and at this time, the Luo boss behind him rushed to the scene and directly cut in to strangle those soldiers.

Seeing the commander raise his hand to surrender, although the soldiers below were unwilling, but the current situation did not allow them to think too much, either raise their hands to surrender, or be slaughtered, looking at Boss Luo's murderous faces, the remaining soldiers of the island country had to throw the weapons in their hands one by one, and they looked like generals in bloody battles, gave up resistance and chose to raise their hands to surrender.

"Bring those captives back, let them clean up the battlefield first, and then take them to the camp in the back." At this time, Ling Xia's voice came from the city wall, and he instructed everyone: "Immediately let the craftsmen make chain-like handcuffs and shackles, and then bring them to those captives, with handcuffs and shackles, there is no need to worry about them escaping." ”

"General, what's the use of these captives? Are we just keeping them like this? We barely have enough food and grass for ourselves, and will we give a share to the captives in the future? Boss Luo looked at Ling Xia with a puzzled expression, not only him, but even Situ Chenfeng and the soldiers below him didn't understand Ling Xia's intentions.

"I am a peace-loving general, I don't like to kill, since these captives have given up resistance, then I will give them a chance to survive, let these captives go to work in the back, with them as coolies, I can replace those brothers behind."

Speaking of this, Ling Xia thought for a while, and then announced a military order in front of everyone: "In the future, when the battle flag division and regiment engage the enemy on the battlefield, all enemy troops who surrender will not be killed, regardless of their number and position." ”

Hearing Ling Xia's order, Luo Boss and they had to escort those prisoners into the city, after counting, there were more than 13,000 prisoners at the scene, just that round of fighting, the battle flag division annihilated 7,000 enemies at the cost of zero casualties, and captured 13,000 soldiers, which was the first time in the history of the war guard, after cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the corpses, the main city returned to calm.

The craftsmen of the division rushed to make a batch of special handcuffs and shackles, which were connected into a whole by a huge iron chain, each strung with a hundred shackles, and when put on, the movement of the captives was restricted, and it was impossible to escape except for work and simple daily self-care.

Just when Ling Xia placed these prisoners, there were successive attacks outside the main city, 20,000 infantry from the island country attacked the main city, and as a result, most of them were killed without even approaching the city gate, and the opposing general was very clever, seeing that the main city was so strong, he knew that he could not break it, so he threw down the corpse and fled.

That night, the escaped general led the remaining soldiers back to the main city, this time, he did not come alone, in addition to the remaining 10,000 infantry, there was also a division commander and three commanders standing beside him, behind several people, stood a thousand heavy siege crossbows, ten giant wall-breaking crossbows, 200 distant catapults, thousands of ten-meter-high ladders, 10,000 soldiers with rope hooks on their backs, and iron claws, this was actually an integrated siege division.

The commander of the siege division is named Miyano Yasuo, who is one of the few famous generals in the island camp, at this moment, he is looking at the defensive formation of the main city opposite, Miyano Yasuo looked very carefully, and arranged the troops while looking: "The vanguard of this siege is the slinging group, and the priority is to attack the watchtower on the opposite side, I heard that there are many heavy siege crossbows arranged there, and they must be knocked out first."

When the catapult group destroys the enemy's watchtower, the siege group cooperates with the attack, your target is the arrow tower opposite, there are almost more than 2,000 arrow towers placed on the opponent's city wall, but they are distributed for overall defense, you don't care about the arrow towers at both ends, concentrate on destroying the 400 arrow towers directly above the city gate.

The opponent's defense system is very clever, the comprehensive strength is very evenly distributed, we can't disperse the attack, we will target the main city, the watchtowers and arrow towers on both sides above the city gate are the main destruction targets, the range of those arrow towers on both wings can not cover the city gate, and later send a thousand people to feint and harass, so as to contain their archers and prevent archers from running over to support the main city.

When the slinger group and the siege group destroyed the arrow tower and the watchtower, the spear breaking group shot a group of crossbow pillars along the diagonal line, remember to control the distance between the crossbow pillars, when the crossbow pillars were nailed into the city wall, the wall climbers climbed the city wall along the wall ladder built by the crossbow pillars, and at the same time the long ladder group also acted together, and the infantry called the formation from the door to attract their attention, and the night was dark ------ the night, and the opposite side could not see the deployment of our troops, and they would definitely be caught off guard. ”

When Yasuo Miyano arranged the siege steps, Ling Xia was not idle, he observed the enemy's lineup clearly through the night vision binoculars, and after seeing the deployment of the opponent's lineup, he began to deploy combat orders.
