As a time-traveler, Lu Zhen has seen the confrontation between the two armies from later film and television dramas and history books. But the description of war in history books is always so brief, more just a generalization, and film and television dramas, no matter how big the blockbuster is, are actually just a vague scene, and when they get closer, there are only a hundred or so people fighting. And the battlefield he saw with his own eyes was much more terrifying than he had in mind.

Countless Mongolian people rushed like a wave, and before the people arrived, the breathtaking momentum had rushed up overwhelmingly. Then countless ropes flew high, accurately enclosing the battlements of the city, and those Mongolian people climbed like Tarzan of the apes, and the speed made people feel that there were steps under them to climb and borrow.

In a matter of moments, they had already climbed more than half of the three zhang walls, and they saw that these murderous howling Tartars were about to step up to the city completely. This made Lu Jin's heart clench suddenly, and he had to subconsciously clench his fists to protect himself. He even wanted to ask Liu Yi, who was still unmoved, why he didn't order an attack at this time and kill these enemies who had landed in the city.

But in the end, Lu Zhen resisted this impulsive thought. In terms of commanding operations, he is a complete layman, and he has never even read half of the so-called military books, so he does not even have the ability to talk about troops on paper, and can only be a quiet bystander in this regard. He believed that Liu Yi was definitely not a person who would be frightened by such a movement and didn't know what to do at all, otherwise this Guangling City would not have been defended by him.

Lu Jin's opinion was obviously correct, although he didn't have any words or actions when he stood at the head of the city, Liu Yi's whole expression was very indifferent, only the knuckles of the fingers that clenched the handle of the knife on his waist were a little pale.

It will be the courage of soldiers! When a general can still be as stable as Mount Tai in the face of such a change, the subordinates he leads will be able to calm down. Even the soldier who vented his anger just now was extremely calm at this time, just staring down with his eyes, without the slightest panic, and no one made a move at will.

It wasn't until he saw that the enemy had risen to a height of two feet and would soon be able to turn over the wall, that Liu Yi suddenly pulled out the knife he was carrying and swung forward vigorously: "Crossbowman, step forward!" ”

With a bang, hundreds of archers marched forward in order, condescendingly aiming their bows and arrows at the approaching enemy below. Accompanied by Liu Yi's shout: "Release!" Then they quickly returned to their positions with their bows and crossbows, and the arrows on them quickly shot at the enemy below.

In an instant, the screams continued to come from below, accompanied by the snapping sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and some of the Mongolian people fell off the ropes as soon as their bodies loosened after being hit by the arrows.

After the first group of archers shot their arrows, they quickly retreated, and the second group of 100 archers stepped forward. This time, there was no need for Liu Yi to give the order to release the arrows again, so they shot down again. And then the first batch has come up again......

After two or three rounds of shooting in this way, the situation on the city wall has completely changed-

Those Mengren were in mid-air, unable to dodge the arrows that kept shooting, even if they could hold the rope with one arm and wave the weapon in their hands to block the frame, but they could not remove all the arrows with tricky angles and a large number of arrows, so people kept falling from the arrows, and finally their momentum weakened, and some people began to go down the rope, and even more, as soon as they let go of their hands in a panic, they fell directly into the city.

The distance between these two zhang is not high, and it is not low to say low, and if it falls to the ground, it will also suffer some injuries. Especially those who are unlucky, if their backs or heads hit the ground, it is possible to die. For a while, there was a wail under the city, and the first wave of the Mongol army's attack was repelled by several rounds of arrows.

Although only two or three hundred people actually threw ropes and landed in this siege, its defeat still dealt a big blow to the morale of the entire Mongolian army. Only then did they know that what they wanted to capture was not a weak and bully city, it was an iron plate!

Lu Zhen watched all this from the sidelines, and in addition to admiration, he also had his own opinions, and finally understood Liu Yi's purpose of waiting for the enemy to climb the city more than half before launching a counterattack.

Because only when the enemy has reached this height, the likelihood that they will want to calmly retreat will become smaller. Moreover, if an arrow falls at a height of about two feet, it can cause great damage to the enemy. Otherwise, if it was lower, maybe they only suffered a slight casualty.

In addition, letting these Mongolian people climb up also plays a role in protecting themselves. Because it is impossible for the Mongolian people in the back to release arrows without hurting their own people, posing a threat to the Ming army in the city. Once the Mengren's bows and arrows were useless, the Ming army defending the city would naturally be much safer.

After thinking about this, Lu Zhen admired Liu Yi and those defenders from the bottom of his heart, which is the quality and ability of the most elite generals and sergeants of the Ming Dynasty in this era. Even at such a dangerous juncture, they can still calmly make the most reasonable judgment on the matter, so as to control the victory or defeat on the battlefield.

This is completely incomparable with the Ming army after the loss of the elites after the civil fort, and it is the confidence and confidence cultivated by the Ming Dynasty in several wars with the Mongolian people in the past hundred years. This is the morale of the army, although it cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists, and imperceptibly affects the heart of every Ming soldier!

When Lu Jin sighed and learned this hand, Liu Yi also glanced at Lu Zhen deeply: "This Lu County Commander is really not ordinary, I can actually hold back and not say anything just now." ”

In Liu Yi's cognition, although those civilian officials don't understand military affairs, they like to point fingers the most. In the face of danger, they will panic and even overstep their bounds. This is also the reason why he didn't want Lu Zhen to stay in the city in the first place, he was afraid that this person would affect his command of the battle.

But Lu Jin's performance greatly surprised him, although he was flustered at first, but quickly held back. And looking at his expression, he definitely didn't look frightened by the situation in front of him, this is a really bold young official!

Thinking of this, Liu Yi looked at Lu Jin's gaze a little gentle. It turned out that Lu Zhen was only respectful to him because he was valued by Hu Sui, but now he regarded him as a friend from the bottom of his heart.

But this is not the time to make a heart-to-heart, and in a flash of his eyes, Liu Yi has already shouted: "The whole army retreats!" The shield soldier stepped forward and erected! ”

With these words, the archers, who had just finished shooting the arrows in their hands, immediately retreated, and at the same time a hundred or so soldiers carrying huge wooden shields the size of a table rushed forward and built a shield wall over the city.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart suddenly moved, as if he had guessed something.

At the same time, an even more terrible trumpet sounded from below the city, and then a whistling sound sounded from the low to the high from the front, and the dense arrows rained down like locusts with vengeful rage.

If those archers were still at the head of the city, I am afraid that they could all be shot into hedgehogs in one fell swoop. But now, the head of Guangling City has been replaced by a group of strong men holding huge shields, and most of those arrows have been blocked by the solid shield, and only the sound of tuk tuk can be heard, which is the movement of arrows nailed into the surface of the shield.

Some arrows still came in through the gaps between the shields, wounding several unlucky soldiers. Two shieldmen were also shot. But in a moment, a soldier behind them quickly made up for them, resisted their position, and continued to fight against the seemingly endless arrows.

Lu Zhen only felt that the sky above his head was dark and oppressive, and the strong pressure generated by this kind of war made his breathing a little unsmooth. And this is only 2,000 enemies, if it is replaced by tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of horses, what will it be? At this point, Ren Luzhen couldn't think of a reason.

"These are just a few tricks that the Tartars used to attack the city, and we are all used to it." I don't know when, Liu Yi had already come to his side, and said with a relaxed expression: "That's how they fought against my Emperor Taizong's army in the first place. Unexpectedly, decades have passed, but they have not made any progress. ”

"Hehe, it's a good thing that they don't grow, otherwise there will be many casualties among our soldiers." Lu Zhen smiled a little reluctantly, but this smile was really unsightly.

"Lu County Ling, this is the first time I've seen such a battle, right?" Liu Yiyou glanced at him.

Lu Zhen nodded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. Then he asked, "I wonder what the Tartars will do next?" ”

"Well, we might be in trouble." Liu Yi said with a solemn expression: "After all, their strength is several times that of ours, and after attacking one gate without a way, I am afraid that they will divide their troops to attack my other three city gates." And our limited forces will inevitably be limited to passivity. ”

As soon as Lu Zhen heard this, his face also changed. It was only then that he thought that there was more than one wall of this Guangling City facing the threat of the Mongols, and that this isolated county town could be used as a target for the enemy to attack. As long as the strength of the Mongolian people is sufficient, once the troops are divided to defend, the strength of the Ming army defending the city is bound to be overstretched.

Liu Yi looked ahead with a serious expression, the density of arrows there had dropped rapidly, and it was obvious that the Mongolian people also knew that such a shot would have a limited threat to the city, so they no longer wasted arrows.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's expression also changed: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Even if you know that the division of troops is unfavorable, there is only one way to divide the troops. I just hope that the reinforcements can come sooner, otherwise my Guangling City really won't last long. As he spoke, Liu Yi looked at the sun that was gradually moving westward with some concern, it was only two hours, and the war had just begun......
