Chapter 139: White-robed Guards VS Elite Cavalry (Medium

"That's a rush!" Under the protection of the little goblin, Liu Ye, who was hiding in a corner of the wall, secretly observing the coalition forces with a monocular, suddenly exclaimed.

For these Hu people who were attacking under the wall, Liu Ye was not worried at all. He believed his nephew would be able to handle it. In the past two decades, Liu Wu has also confirmed this with practical actions. Although the Hu people's attack has obviously strengthened today, Liu Ye believes that Liu Wu can still resist it. Liu Ye knows his nephew very well. In Liu Ye's opinion, his nephew still has great potential. The ancient famous generals have all been trained through battlefield battles, and there are really few famous generals who have fallen from the sky. And now Liu Wu has the possibility of becoming a famous general. This is also the reason why Liu Ye has always focused on cultivating Liu Wu.

In ancient siege warfare, the chariot was a siege weapon that had great destructive power against the city gates. Even the strongest city gate could not withstand the impact of the rushing cars. Of course, the temporary walled gate built by the Xixiang Army is also included. Unless the gate is blocked with a big stone, it is only a matter of time before the gate is smashed by a rushing car.

But in such a defensive battle, unless the attacking side has an overall advantage. Otherwise, it is rare for the defender to block the door with a boulder. 'Attacking and defending' is the essence of defensive warfare. Although the boulder blocked the way for the attackers to enter the city, it also blocked the way for the defenders to get out of the city.

Although the number of allied armies was several times that of the Saigo Army. It has a great advantage in military power. However, Liu Ye and the generals of Xixiang were very confident, and they did not think that the Xixiang army had no ability to fight back. Therefore, Liu Ye did not order the city gate to be blocked.

"It seems that in the past ten days, Hu Gou has been keen to fill the pit, which should be to prepare for this moment!" Liu Ye muttered. Before the war, in order to limit the use of the Hu people's siege equipment, Liu Ye specially ordered people to dig the flat land in front of Dongying Village into potholes. But now it has been filled in by the Hu people.

"Someone, send a message to Benjun to Liu Fang. Let's just say that Benjun found the rushing car in the enemy army. Ask Liu to strengthen the defense of the drawbridge. Prevent the Hu people from taking advantage of the chaos to cut down the suspension bridge. Liu Ye said to the attendants on the side. Although Liu Ye found the traces of Hu Ren rushing to the car, he did not overstep the order. The presence of two supreme commanders on the battlefield is a big no-no. Unless Liu Wu made any big mistake, he would still be the supreme commander on the battlefield at this time.

In view of the shortcomings of the weak defense of Dongying Zhaimen, Liu Ye specially ordered people to build a suspension bridge to strengthen the defense of Zhaimen. At the same time, Liu Ye also arranged a large number of military forces on the walled tower, specifically guarding the suspension bridge. Most of the trenches in front of Dongying Village have been filled. But in the section in front of the walled tower, because Liu Ye arranged a large number of short archers on the walled tower. Hu people never had much of a chance. The Yellow-toothed Hu people gave up after organizing several waves of Hu slaves to fill the trenches there.

If the Hu people's chariot wants to attack the Zhaimen, they must first lower the drawbridge. Previously, the Hu people had organized several waves of dead soldiers to cut the hanging ropes. However, due to the existence of the trench in front of the drawbridge and the heavy guards on the walled tower, all of them failed.

"Alliance leader, it's time to send the ladder cart into battle." Halfway through the hour, Dugu, who was watching the battle from the rear, suggested to Shesu.

The reason why the hole card becomes the hole card is that it must be extremely threatening to the enemy. In wartime, it will certainly be the first to suffer the enemy's frenzied blows. The average general will choose to let the ordinary troops consume a wave first. It is impossible to put your hole cards into battle at the very beginning of the war. Only fools and geniuses would do that. But it turns out that almost all of them are fools who do this, as for geniuses!

Now, after a continuous onslaught for most of the day, the soldiers of the Xixiang Army are a little tired. The combat strength is certainly not as good as it was in the morning, when the battle began. And taking into account the fact that the coalition forces are not good at night fighting. It's just over halfway through the hour, and there's still some time before it gets dark, so it's time to play your hole cards. If it had been a little later, the coalition forces might have to face the threat of a night battle.

"Ladder car siege! Trapped Dead (not Gao Shun's trapped camp, this can be seen as a death squad.) Accompany the ladder cart and prepare for the battle. She Su nodded and ordered. She Su is also a battle-hardened Hu lord (i.e., leader). The rhythm of the war is very well grasped. Even if Dugu didn't say it, Shesu would have immediately ordered an attack.

Under the order of Shesu, more than 50 Hu people pushed two bulky ladder trucks and slowly drove to Dongying. There were also more than 300 heavily armored soldiers who died in battle, they were all the elite of the assault cavalry, and they were also the hole cards of the coalition army.

"Coming back? Are these Hu people stupid? Isn't the lesson of the two cars burned last time by us enough? Looking at the two ladder trucks that were slowly coming, Tang Jue, who was standing on the walled tower, said disdainfully.

"Do these dogs want to break the jar? Or are they already prepared? Liu Shi next to Tang Jue said curiously.

"If you're ready to try it, you'll know!" Liu Wu, who was directing the operation, said. Immediately afterwards, he ordered the herald next to him: "Chuan Mou's order, the bed crossbow team immediately destroys these two ladder carts, and must not let them get close to the wall." ”

After the herald left, he looked at the heavily armed Hu people who followed the ladder cart. An ominous premonition surged in Liu Wu's heart. Liu Wu continued to order to the other herald next to him: "Pass on the order." The Longbow team took to the city and prepared for battle. Tell Captain Wang to prepare more heavy arrows! ”

To deal with this kind of heavy infantry soldiers, most of the existing bows and crossbows of the Xixiang Army are useless. Only the longbow is still lethal. In fact, to deal with this kind of heavy soldier. Extremely penetrating and lethal, the Tension Crossbow is the best weapon. It's a pity that Xixiang's strong crossbow team is still stationed in the city.

"Volley!" When the bed crossbows were ready, the bed crossbow captain yelled.

Immediately afterwards, eight bed crossbows with flasks of fire oil flew out. All but two of them were unlucky, and all of them hit the target.

"The ladder truck in front of the target, the rocket is fired! Launch! "As soon as the bed crossbow bolt with the oil bottle hit the ladder cart, the captain of the Archer A team gave the order.

Immediately after that, dozens of rockets flew out at once, due to the closer to the target. Most of them hit the ladder truck. However, to Liu Wu's disappointment, the two ladder trucks this time did not immediately ignite the raging fire like last time. Although the fire broke out, the fire was not strong and far from the effect of incineration. At this time, a group of Hu people rushed out from behind. They braved the rain of arrows from the Saigo Army with shovels in hand, desperately digging up soil to extinguish the fire. After all, if you want to extinguish a fire caused by oil, you must not use water. These shovel-wielding Hu figures were very skilled and apparently trained. With the desperate efforts of these Hu people with shovels, the fire was quickly extinguished.

"The Broken Archer immediately shot the Huhou who was pushing the ladder cart. The longbow team immediately attacked the heavily armored Hu infantry with heavy arrows. Seeing that the fire attack could not destroy the ladder car of the Hu people, Liu Wu, who commanded the battle, immediately ordered.

Since it is no longer possible to stop the Hu people from using the ladder car to enter the city, then try to delay the speed of the ladder car as much as possible. Buy time for the Longbow team to shoot the Hu heavy foot soldiers. However, Liu Wu had doubts about whether the Longbow Corps could give the Hu people an effective kill. Because the heavy infantry of the Hu people stopped moving when they were about sixty paces away from the wall. To be honest, this distance is very awkward for the Saigo longbowmen.

……

Just when the Xixiang Army and the allied forces of the various departments fought to the death. Zhao Heng and the three of them went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived in Xinye. After Zhao Heng and the others escaped from Yecheng, they followed Zhao Sheng's will and went to Jiangling to join Hengwen. However, the north of Shenzhou is not very peaceful, what bandits have been encountered along the way! What a hero in the green forest! O mountain bandits! Hu people! Wait a minute. Zhao Heng, a person of all shapes, has seen it once. Zhao Heng really gained a lot of experience.

"This is Shinno, and the route is right. Mr. Wang really didn't deceive us! Looking at the city in front of him, Zhao Heng said happily.

"yes!" Mu Cheng said perfunctorily. To be honest, he wasn't too interested in the dead fat man who showed them the way. The dead fat man gave him the same feeling as his master Zhao Sheng. Under his eyes, it seems that no secrets can be hidden. This made Mu Cheng feel very uncomfortable.

"Young master, in order not to cause trouble, let's not go into the city and take a detour!" Yang Bi on the side suggested. After all, their current identity is not visible.

Zhao Heng nodded and agreed: "Okay!" Uncle Yang, I know! Let's hurry! For Zhao Heng, the most important thing now is to hand over his father's secret letter to Heng Wen, and everything else can be put aside.
