Chapter 194: The Battle of Defending the City VIII
"Lord Commander, it's not that the soldiers don't put out the fire, it's really hard to get by, the opponent's stone bullets are wave after wave, and the attack speed is too dense to rush." Seeing Yoshio Yamamoto's anxious jumping feet, after the deputy general explained a few words, a sigh appeared on his face: "It's over, all the main attack equipment can't be saved." ”
"Ling Xia, you are a despicable and shameless coward, it turns out that you didn't have a good heart from the beginning, releasing prisoners, giving wine, and negotiating are all fake, all of this is your conspiracy and trickery, if you have the ability, you stand up and fight with me for three hundred rounds, what kind of ability is it to hide behind those captives and make a trick?"
Yoshio Yamamoto also saw Ling Xia's trick at this moment, seeing that those catapults and siege crossbows were all destroyed, and even the three thousand soldiers did not escape alive, Yoshio Yamamoto scolded the street from the back of the horse, scolded a few words, and shouted to the back: "Giant shield soldiers, three layers of shields are superimposed, and the iron wall array is clothed." Cover the Hammermen to break the city. ”
"Humm, hum, hum, hey......"
10,000 burly giant shield soldiers, three sides of more than two meters long, one and a half meters wide giant shields, stacked together, after lifting, 10,000 giant shields instantly formed a huge shield wall, after the giant shield array was arranged, 30,000 strong men holding more than one meter of giant hammer walked into the giant shield array in turn, after all the giant hammer soldiers arrived, the shield wall quickly moved towards the direction of the city gate.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Those giant shield soldiers carried shields and shouted slogans to cover the attack of the giant hammer soldiers, at this time, the stone bullets were still almost thrown, although they successfully destroyed the catapults and siege crossbow phalanx on the opposite side, but Ling Xia's side also consumed the stone bullets in reserve, and saw that Yoshio Yamamoto sent a giant shield soldier, Ling Xia ordered the catapult to throw stones and smash them.
"Jingle Bell, Ding Bell, Ding Dong ......"
There were no special stone bullets, so the soldiers took local materials, picked up pieces of stone waste and filled them into catapults, and threw these stones with catapults, and for a while, all kinds of stones fell to the shield wall like meteors falling to the ground.
The shields smashed by the stones rattled, although some of the shield soldiers were knocked down, but as soon as there was a gap here, the giant hammer soldiers below raised the shields again, so although the stones smashed fiercely, they could not stop the shield wall from moving forward.
"Stop the catapults, without those special stone bullets, those stone scraps alone can't smash those giant shields." Speaking of this, Ling Xia hurriedly ordered the firepower tower and watchtower to prepare for the attack, and once the opponent entered the range of the siege crossbow, he would shoot, and he must not let them get close to the city gate, let alone let them destroy the city gate. ”
After the order, Ling Xia stood on the city wall and watched, observed for a moment, his face showed a trace of solemnity, although the siege crossbow fired those shields clanged, but they could not shoot through those shields at all, after an attack, only the crossbow pillars of the wall-breaking crossbow could penetrate the shield wall, but Ling Xia only had ten wall-breaking crossbows on his side, and he couldn't stop those shield soldiers at all.
When the shield soldiers covered the giant shield soldiers and ran under the city gate, those giant hammer soldiers lifted a special giant hammer, the giant hammer is about one and a half meters long, the hammer handle is as thick as a rolling pin, the whole body is jet black, there is a weapon at each end, the upper end is a giant hammer the size of a grinding plate, and the lower end is a sharp flat axe in the shape of a half-moon arc, which is specially made at first glance.
In just half a cup of tea, those giant shield soldiers covered the giant hammer soldiers to the city gate, with the cover of the city gate tower, the giant hammer soldiers broke away from the shield, only to see them walk to the city gate, the giant hammer sideways, the flat axe at the lower end of the weapon into the gap of the city gate, the flat axe against the city gate horizontal wooden bolt, the giant hammer soldier next to him swung the giant hammer smashing the wooden bolt.
Although the city gate is strong and firm, it can't stand the 30,000 giant hammer soldiers to smash it in turn, after a while, the wooden bolt and door frame of the city gate have been loosened, if the other party is allowed to continue to smash, it won't be long before the city gate will be abolished, seeing this situation, Ling Xia shouted to Situ Chenfeng behind him: "The cavalry assemble, open the camp, and knock the opponent's giant shield soldiers open." ”
"Yes, the cavalry assembles!"
After receiving the order, Situ Chenfeng immediately summoned the cavalry to assemble, because the division and the men and horses were all gathered behind the city gate, so between a few breaths, Situ Chenfeng assembled the cavalry team of 10,000 people, at this time, the soldiers guarding the gate took the initiative to open the city gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, Situ Chenfeng rushed out first, and at the same time shouted "Charge." ”
Although Situ Chenfeng's cavalry team of 10,000 people is light cavalry, but the light cavalry is also cavalry, and the war horses are all equipped with armor, after the charge, the 10,000 cavalry rushed out like a torrent of steel, and pushed the giant shield soldiers and giant hammer soldiers at the door to the outside.
Seeing that the gate of the opposite side was opened, and the cavalry of the battle guards was dispatched, Yoshio Yamamoto immediately shouted loudly: "Quick, the city gate is open, the cavalry corps gathers to charge, the archer division covers the cavalry, the siege corps wall climbers use hooks and ropes to rescue the prisoners, the giant shield soldiers of the second echelon assemble and set off, the chariot team assembles and sets off, and the spear corps is all dispatched." ”
Yoshio Yamamoto's soldiers pressed the border, wanting to break through the city gate with an absolute advantage, seeing the opponent's formation, Ling Xia did not dare to slack off: "Each arrow tower began to attack, the catapult began to attack, and the enemy tower should pay attention to guarding against the enemy's wall climbers."
The siege crossbows in the watchtower and the firepower tower will carry out indiscriminate attacks on the enemy cavalry, Luo Laoda, Jiang Hailiu, Yue Qianfeng, you will lead their respective subordinates to support Situ Chenfeng, remember, as long as the enemy's iron wall array is broken, collect the troops, and don't entangle with the enemy. ”
At the sound of an order, the arrow tower of the city wall began to attack, and the arrow cloud composed of countless arrows covered the giant hammer soldiers under the city, and without the shield cover, the giant hammer soldiers all became live targets, and frantically rushed towards the city gate.
The catapult threw stones into the distance, and the vanguard of the enemy cavalry regiment was smashed into meatloaf in an instant. More than a thousand siege crossbows from the watchtower and fire tower made an indiscriminate attack on the cavalry corps on the opposite side.
A two-meter-long siege crossbow arrow mixed with the sound of the wind whistled, directly penetrating the armor of the war horse, shooting the opponent to death with all the men and horses, forced by the power of the siege crossbow, the cavalry galloping on the opposite side had to temporarily stop, waiting for the shield soldiers to open the way.
Taking advantage of this gap, the 40,000 teams of the Battle Flag Division were all dispatched to fight against the shield soldiers and giant hammer soldiers at the city gate, Situ Chenfeng was in charge of those giant shield soldiers, and the 30,000 teams of Jiang Hailiu, Luo Laoda, and Yue Qianfeng faced the 30,000 giant hammer soldiers head-on.
The two armies fought, bloody battles, although there was the help of archers, but those giant hammer soldiers were also very difficult, seeing that they were in a desperate situation, the other party was also desperate, under the desperate resistance of the other party, the soldiers of the battle flag division began to appear dead and wounded. ”
