"The archers can stop the infantry, but how do they get out? In any case, the gates could not be opened. Kong Yikong frowned.

"With a rope ladder, let's throw the rope ladder off the wall, and let the archers climb down the rope ladder, and under the city are tripping horse stakes and horse traps, and the trip horse stakes can cover the archers, as long as they don't step into the horse traps." Ling Xia said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then send two archer divisions to destroy the enemy outside the city." Lu Jianxing commanded.

Ling Xia shook his head: "Send all the archers out, this situation, we can't keep it, since there are extra archers, why should we keep it, everyone, now our troops are less than the other party, so we must rely on the advantage to fight in the next step, only in this way can we minimize our casualties." ”

The city wall of Hongya Province is about 100 miles long, and after a while, the wall of Hongya Province threw down a rope ladder, and 200,000 archers slid down the rope ladder like ants to the outside of the city wall, and after landing, they rushed towards the opposite Japanese infantry, and when there were still dozens of meters away from the Japanese infantry, the soldiers stopped, and this place had already entered the range of bows and arrows, so there was no need to advance.

Squatting down, raising the bow, using the stumbling horse stake as a cover, the archers do not need to aim, directly shoot the arrows to the opposite side, they are not verbose, each shoots three arrows, after the shot is retreated, the archers in front just left, the back is replenished, the whole process is crisp and neat, not the slightest mud and water, an hour later, 200,000 archers all retreated safely.

The archers originally restrained the infantry, and the number of troops sent was twice as large as that of the Japanese infantry, and it was a tactic of fighting and retreating, so after the generals of the Japanese invaders came to their senses, the soldiers had all withdrawn, and just this wave of attacks alone, the Japanese infantry lost more than 40,000 people, if it weren't for those infantry who saw that the situation was not good and ran back, it is estimated that all of them would have died under the city.

Although he was unable to completely annihilate the infantry of the Japanese invaders, but he frightened the courage of those infantry, after seeing Ling Xia's actions, instead of being frustrated, Yanogen showed a trace of excitement, he thought that the war zone was finally at peace, so he continued to order the infantry to be sent to clear the trap.

However, this time Yano Gen left a hand, and he sent the 70,000 infantry to continue to clear the traps, sent 30,000 shield soldiers to cover, and sent 50,000 archers to follow from behind, so that he could continue to clear the traps without worrying about the archers of the battle guards going down to the city.

"Oh no, the Japanese infantry is back again, this time they are also equipped with shield soldiers and archers, shall we continue to send archers down the city to attack?"

In fact, Ling Xia and the others had already seen the movements of the Japanese Invaders under the city, and Gu Xiuyuan planned to repeat the old trick and continue to send archers to attack those Japanese soldiers, but just as he was about to give an order, Ling Xia persuaded him: "Marshal, the archers are not good, they can't break through the defense of the Japanese shield soldiers, if they are entangled by the Japanese archers, it will be troublesome." ”

"So what to do? Shall you let the pirates remove all the traps under the city? "It was Zhen Long who spoke, and this person was a quick temper.

Ling Xia was not dissatisfied because of Zhen Long's tone, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Let people transport the siege crossbow to the city with ropes, let the soldiers advance two thousand meters, and after entering the range of the siege crossbow, attack the opponent with the siege crossbow, the enemy's shield soldiers can't block the siege crossbow, and the most important thing is that the range of the siege crossbow is several times farther than the bow and arrow, so don't worry about their archers." ”

Half a quarter of an hour later, 5,000 siege crossbows and 200,000 special crossbow arrows were put down on the city wall, 30,000 siege crossbowmen had already gone down to the city wall in advance, after catching the siege crossbow, the soldiers carried the siege crossbow and crossbow arrows quickly advanced to the front, after entering the range of the siege crossbow, they divided the siege crossbow by two, and then the crowd filled the crossbow arrows and aimed at the crowd of Japanese soldiers to shoot.

"Woohoo!"

The crossbow arrows shot towards the opposite side with the sound of the wind howling through the air, although the shield soldiers of the Japanese invaders tried their best to resist, but the crossbow arrows more than two meters long and eight centimeters thick and thin easily pierced the shield, and the strong follow-up force made the crossbow arrows pierce the shield and continue to shoot in front of them, shooting the shield soldiers along the way and the infantry behind them together, and a wail sounded at the scene.

Although the archers of the Japanese invaders desperately counterattacked, the range of the bow and arrow was too different from the siege crossbow, and after the arrows shot landed, not even the hair of the battle guards was injured.

"Baga, how did the people of the Xia Dynasty who were clumsy before suddenly become so cunning?" After scolding, Yanogen hurriedly sent someone to collect the troops.

Although Yano Yuan's order was very timely, he ignored one thing, that is, the lethality of the siege crossbow was different from that of the archers, and when he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, the shield soldiers and infantry were almost dead, and only those archers behind him were withdrawn. Give me a forcible siege. ”
