Chapter 13: The Battle of Xiongguan 2
The foot soldiers of the state of Chu were like wheat being cut down in batches, and they followed in batches, and these foot soldiers advanced slowly, three people in a team, one with a huge shield, one with a spear, and one with a huge quiver, inside which were guns that shimmered with dark metallic light.
This is the spear of the Chu State, in addition to the gun and spear is necessary, the other two can be changed at will, each team of people is formed after a lot of training and running-in, once acted, often a look can make the comrades understand their thoughts, and it is such a strict cooperation, a lot of training and fine selection before enlistment, to create the first pawn in the world.
But the spearman is not suitable for siege, such a class of troops is suitable for frontal large-scale charge, close to the three people in a team, with the help of the invincible, far with the spear throwing, the power is also comparable to the crossbow team, even if it is to defend the city can also play a huge power, but in the siege is an absolutely inferior choice, the spearman is limited, it is impossible to compare with the bow and arrow on the city, and the formation of three people can never be maintained when ascending the city, so there are only a handful of cases in the history of war that use spearmen to attack the city.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield also proved that the spearmen were not suitable for attacking the city, and the spears and spears that were as dense as flying locusts flew into the city walls, and some fell directly to the ground, and most of them flew up to the city, but their strength was weakened and almost did not hurt anyone, but only played a role in intimidating and suppressing the enemy's arrows.
The cavalry led by Xie Qi took advantage of the rain of arrows to rest for a while, and galloped towards the city wall at great speed.
The sound of the whizzing wind ringing in Xie Qi's ears one after another, and Xie Qi tried his best to bend down on the horse's back. Several times the arrows flew past his face, bringing up a wisp of blood, and the most dangerous time, the arrow feathers hit him directly in the face, making him dizzy.
Xie Qi seemed to be back to his youth in a trance, when he was an ordinary slave, because he was born with fierce eyes, no matter what he did, he never groveled, even if he tried really hard. Many people say that his eyes are like wolves, lonely and fierce. He was called to and from the homes of the nobles, who seemed to dislike him to the outside, beat him in every way when he was angry, and when he was in a good mood, he only laughed and waved at him with a whip, and he could not remember his parents, as if he had been born so lowly.
He is unwilling, how can he live so humbly, there is always a fire in his heart, wanting to burn those damned fates.
In fact, he shouldn't have gone after that break, the boss didn't like this fierce subordinate, and felt that he was a lowly slave in his heart, so he was temporarily given the official position of vanguard cavalry general before retreating, and wanted him to stay there forever. At that time, he was under siege, and there were only about sixty people left around him, but the enemy army was like waves, beating layer after layer, and finally he had forgotten how he escaped, and only remembered the last pursuer The last sword was blocked for him by one of the only three people left, and the soldier was also a slave.
I didn't have time to recall too much, and I was going to go under the city wall in a short while, in fact, Wu Dingfang didn't tell the generals that this siege was a stage built for Xie Qi.
"Take my god arm bow, wolf tooth arrow." Wang Yanchang stood at the head of the city and looked at Xie Qi with a hideous face leading no more than a hundred cavalry to the city wall, and there was an indescribable sense of crisis in his heart.
The soldier quickly handed Wang Yanchang's bow and arrow. Wang Yanchang's strength is far beyond ordinary people, the bow used is tailor-made for him, in three hundred and fifty catties, such a bow with a spiral pattern of stainless steel wolf tooth arrows, the arrow launched will tell the rotation, plus the original spiral pattern, can even drill through the rock.
Open the bow, aim, release the arrows, a series of actions were displayed by Wang Yanchang like flowing water, the arrows went like meteors, and the soldiers in the city only heard the wind roaring like a tiger.
Xie Qi also noticed the fatal arrow, and he did not look up at all, because one raised his head was enough time for the arrow to pass through his chest, and he rolled off the saddle, and only hooked the saddle with the force of his foot, and was able to dodge the fatal arrow.
The wolf's tooth arrow fell into the ground and plunged straight into the ground, leaving only the feathers to tremble slightly on the ground.
Xie Qi turned on his horse, and before he could catch his breath, another arrow had already flown in front of him, and this time he could clearly see the deadly spiral lines on the tip of the arrow, like the messy wrinkles on the hands of the Grim Reaper.
Xie Qi leaned back quickly, his scalp rubbed the tip of the arrow, he could dodge, the arrow pierced through the horse's head, Xie Qi's horse didn't even have time to neigh before it fell down with huge inertia, Xie Qi saw the person who put the arrow on the head of the city, but he couldn't see the face, it must be as hard as iron. He knew he didn't have long to live, and the third arrow was already in sight, and this time he lay down on the horse, and there was no way to avoid it.
I can finally close my eyes, close those annoying eyes, and extinguish the burning fire, fate or something, it really can't be burned.
The sound of "poof" arrows piercing through the body. But Scheech was still alive, and his deputy caught up at the last minute and blocked the fatal arrow for him.
That's a young man, too. The eyes flashed like the light of the stars, and then he lowered his head.
This is the dignity of slaves, what is the aristocracy, that is the dignity of human beings, the aristocracy is just a bunch of self-righteous bastards.
The fire in Xie Qi's heart began to burn again.
He rolled over, lunged forward, flew on his horse, and didn't even look at his deputy again. This is the inevitable fate of a slave, but in order to change him, even if he dies, it is not terrible. Xie Qi even felt that his deputy was proud, the pride of a slave.
Xie Qi led the last dozen people to the city, and a dozen of them began to shoot arrows, and some fine powder flew on the arrows. But no one could see it.
The arrows at the head of the city were like locusts, and the defenders of the Yun Kingdom were enraged by these people, and these enemy troops actually approached the city wall, which was the land protected by the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom, and no one could challenge the dignity of the emperor.
Xie Qi was hit by a dozen arrows, but it didn't matter anymore, he won, this is the dignity of a slave.
He straightened up and looked at the wooden city tower, which was barely visible in the Chu army's camp.
General Wu, I did it, with the perseverance of a slave, although this is a stage built for me, but you are the last person to dance on it.
In the distance, Wu Dingfang on the upper floor of the wooden city looked solemn and solemn, covering his chest with his left hand, holding a sword with his right hand, and bowing to Xiongguan.
"Order, the whole army retreats." Wu Dingfang did not straighten up.
Wang Yanchang looked at the retreating Chu army, and was silent for a long time, obviously repelling the enemy's attack but not happy at all, "Be on guard with all your might, search the city wall, and don't let go of an inch." ”
