Chapter 1232: Confrontation

Under the nervous gaze of the Qin army in the city, the Ming soldiers came out in rows, and the shield soldiers were at the forefront. The one-man-tall full-body shield almost covered the entire body of the soldiers behind. Behind the shield bearers were soldiers with sapper shovels in both hands, and behind them were heavily armed warriors, with horses' hooves on both wings, and a troop of rangers roaming on either side.

The Ming army advanced in the direction of Yongdu without anyone, and quickly crossed the first obstacle area, accompanied by the sound of clanging, one shield after another was erected, forming a shield wall, and behind them the soldiers holding sapper shovels began to wave the sharp shovels in their hands frantically, and began to destroy the obstacles.

The trenches were filled, the traps were found and destroyed, and the antlers and horses were easily split into piles of pieces by the soldiers wielding their sapper shovels, which were then turned into part of the material for filling the trenches.

The work efficiency of the Ming army is quite high, obviously these people usually practice these guys, Wang Xiong above the city gasped, the Ming army is really fucking extravagant, look at those sappers shovel effortlessly split the bowl thickness of the rejection horse in two, these things are only afraid of stainless steel wrapped blades. He was so diligent for a short while, and the Ming army actually filled in the square plate of almost twenty meters.

"Trebuchet! Smash me! He snapped. At this distance, feathered arrows are useless, and crossbows are too valuable to use against these skirmishers. Trebuchets are the most suitable, they are within range, and there are too many stones in the city. To deal with these foot soldiers, you don't need to use a stone bullet to get into the warp.

A large amount of gravel is tied together with a net and thrown with a trebuchet, and the net pocket flying in the air cannot withstand the force and breaks, and the gravel inside will scatter and fly out.

The lethality is limited, and it can kill people with one blow, but it is enough to hurt people.

The shield wall under the city spread out in an instant, and one after another shields were raised, and countless black flowers bloomed on the ground in an instant. The rubble crackled against the shield, and under the protection of the shield, the soldiers wielding the sapper shovels did not slow down at all, and still struggled forward.

They didn't even look up at the sky, but put their safety in the hands of the shield-wielding soldiers.

The blow was not effective, Wang Xiong looked down, at most dozens of soldiers were covered in blood and withdrew to the Ming army's main formation, and only a few of them were carried away.

"The trebuchet continues to strike." Wang Xiong turned his head and looked at one of the generals beside him, "Wancai, give you two thousand people, go out of the city to fight." ”

The sturdy Wan Cai didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the city, the city had already gathered a team, these people were naturally not the Thunder Army, but the first batch of young people who were recruited, they had been trained for several months, at least they already knew some basic military formations.

The city gate opened suddenly, the huge drawbridge fell, and two thousand Qin troops surged out of the city, shouting over the drawbridge, rushing through the obstacle area, and rushing towards the Ming army who were filling in the obstacles.

At the same time, the striking strength of the trebuchet increased suddenly, this time it was not just gravel, but also a lot of real stone bullets inside, and the target was between the obstacle area and the Ming army's main formation.

What Wang Xiong wanted was to cut off the connection between the Ming army's main formation and the assault Ming army in front, and what he wanted was to annihilate the Ming army at the front. These should be the auxiliaries of the Ming army, and the combat effectiveness is not strong there.

Under the banner of the Ming Army, the wild dog tilted his head and looked at the Qin troops who rushed out of the city, and said with a smile: "There are rules and laws, and you can't underestimate them." ”

The adjutant general next to him immediately sneered: "But he made a mistake, our blue wolf battalion does not have regular auxiliaries." He thought he would pick up a bargain, and immediately let him see what kind of iron plate he was kicking. ”

The order flag waved, and the Ming army's main formation began to move forward slowly, advancing to the area of the opponent's trebuchet's attack, and stopped again, the Ming army's thunderbolt fire was fast and powerful, but it sacrificed a certain range, and above this distance, it was impossible to hit the city. But the trebuchets in the city were too slow to fire, but they could take advantage of them. Taking advantage of the gap between each launch, the thunderbolts of the Ming army quickly pierced in front of the position.

Wang Xiong in the city watched those huge black guys move quickly, and his heart suddenly became furious, it was the thunderbolt of the Ming army, they had already heard of the power of this thing.

"Change the stone bullets, aim at those thunderbolts, and destroy them for me." He roared.

The addition of these thunderbolts attracted the fire targets of the trebuchets in the city, which greatly weakened the sheltering effect of the battlefield on the city walls, and the soldiers of the blue wolf battalion immediately pounced, like dexterous apes, crossed the area and ran towards their comrades in front.

When the city gate was opened and the Qin army rushed out, the shield soldiers of the Ming army gathered together again, one shield smashed into the ground with a clatter, and several iron rods protruding under the shield were deeply rooted in the soil.

The Qin army, which was surging like a tide, suddenly crashed into the shield array.

The roar was loud, and the shield array swayed, as if it might disperse at any time, but it always persisted tenaciously under the expectant gaze of Qin Jun. Instead, a spear poked out from behind the shield and stabbed the Qin army that pounced in front of the shield to the ground.

The Qin army thought that these Ming army auxiliaries with shovels would shrink into defense, but to their surprise, those people were actually holding shovels and jumped out from behind the shields at the moment when the first wave of attacks did not shatter the shield array.

A sapper shovel with a sharp handle is like a broadsword, they can easily cut off the spear shaft in the hands of the Qin army, and can easily break through the simple leather armor on the Qin army.

The Blue Wolf Battalion, from the day of its creation, was known for its frantic attacks. Every army will be closely related to the character of his main general, in the mind of the wild dog, there is never a detour, the concept of retreat, he has always been forward, and then forward. In the Wolf Camp, even the men have to undergo strict military training, and in the words of the wild dogs, even if you only have a spatula left in your hand, you must be able to wield the spatula to fight the enemy.

After the wild dog was promoted to the general of the Central War Army, the successor general immediately had, and the wild dog's temperament was like a mold cast, what will bring what soldiers, every soldier in the blue wolf battalion is full of the most primitive aggressiveness in his bones.

Wang Xiong, who was above the city, watched in shock as a Ming army wielding a shovel actually killed his subordinates. In the blink of an eye, the 2,000 people who left the city were divided into several disconnected teams, and the Ming soldiers who fought against them, those with shovels and shields, would never exceed five hundred.

After the Qin army's formation was cut, the shield soldiers abandoned their shields and joined the battle with a large sword.

These people are more ferocious than shovelers. After all, if the kind of big iron shield weighing forty or fifty pounds is to be lifted and easily walk on the battlefield, it will definitely not be possible without a handful of strength.

At this time, there was no big shield, and the big knife was in their hands, like a light toy.

The broadswords of all the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Battalion uphold the tradition of the old death battalion, with a blade three feet long, a handle one and a half feet long, and two hands holding knives, and there are only two tactical movements in the whole process.

In the distance, Ming reinforcements were approaching, and they were still rapidly approaching the battlefield under the rain of rubble. Wang Xiong's hands were clenched, and when the supporting Ming army arrived at the battlefield, he was afraid that none of the 2,000 people who had left the city would be able to return to the city.

"Archers prepare." He gritted his teeth.

"General!" One of the tooth generals beside him looked at Wang Xiong with some shock, "Our people are now strangled with them. ”

Behind the battlements, the strong bows were silently drawn, but the targets were the soldiers on both sides who were entangled together.

Wang Hou stared at the battlefield, came, and the supporting Ming soldiers finally put themselves on the battlefield, and their own army was even more unable to support it at this time, and it was gradually compressed towards a little bit, and the Ming army was also concentrated on the besieged Qin army at this moment.

"Cover the shot!" Wang Hou slammed his fist on the battlements. With his command, thousands of archers appeared above the city, and with a buzzing sound, feathered arrows rained down on the stubborn battlefield beneath the city.

On the battlefield, men immediately turned on their backs, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, and both armies were attacked by locust-like feathered arrows at the same time.

At the moment when thousands of archers stood up, in the distance of the battlefield, several thunderbolt throwing arms were also raised at this time, they just wanted to attack the city, but what they never expected was that thousands of archers appeared at this time. This became a bonus.

Each thunderbolt has eight throwing arms, and at this time the throwing arm is not a stone bullet, but a red-hot iron bullet, the iron bullet flies in the air, and when the wind blows, it immediately becomes a burning fireball, some of which fall on the city wall in vain, but most of them fall on the city wall.

Immediately a great fire broke out in the city. And what is more terrifying than the fire is that these iron bullets hit the ground, jumping frantically on the ground, and the solid stone walls of Yongdu City made them jump even more happily, and everywhere they passed, they howled miserably, and some fireballs even rolled all the way out of hundreds of meters above the city before finally losing kinetic energy and stopped.

There was a great chaos in the city, and the city was also in a mess at this time, regardless of the attack of the enemy and me, so that both sides suffered great losses, and the two thousand Qin troops were only a few hundred people left at this time, and they were turning around and running in the direction of the drawbridge, and behind them, the Ming army was pursuing.

Although they were hit by the same blow, the excellent Kaijia of the Ming army played a huge role at this time, and there were many injuries, but the number of people killed on the spot was far less than that of the Qin army, and some of them still had several feather arrows stuck in their bodies, but they were still chasing the fleeing Qin army with shouts.

The drawbridge was slowly being pulled up, and the city gates were gradually closing.

Wan Cai, who was running at the front, leaped to his feet, grabbed the corner of the suspension bridge that had risen to mid-air, and a sapper shovel flew in with the sound of the wind, and plunged into his side with a thud, almost hitting him in the back of the heart.

He turned over suddenly, shrank behind the drawbridge, and then slid down the bridge deck, there was still a gap left in the city gate, he turned sideways, flashed in through this gap, and behind him, the two thousand Qin soldiers who followed him out of the city never came back.
