Chapter 45 Battle on the Post
Huhuhu~
On the city wall several meters high, the continuous spring breeze blew, rolling up red flags, and Chief Yu, who was dressed in black general armor, stood beside the battlements, his red cloak and helmet moved with the wind, and there was no expression on his cold face, and he was quietly staring down.

"Driving~"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Open the door!"
Outside the city, a sentry rode forward, and the guards under the walls quickly opened the gates to welcome him in.
"General, the 4 barbarian armies have arrived at Niubei Mountain, and they will arrive here in half an hour!"
After this sentry rode into the city, he didn't have time to rest, so he quickly turned over and dismounted and ran up the city wall, and bowed down in front of Yu Dayou to report.
Now the person in charge of garrisoning Shanggang Town is the 4,000 soldiers of the North Battalion of the Water Division led by Yu Dayou.
After the Yangwu Army took the initiative to abandon the front line of Xiangjia Town, the garrison battalion and the northern battalion of the water division were stationed in Yuping and Shanggang two towns under the leadership of Shi Dan and Yu Dayou respectively to resist the soldiers of the barbarian army, while the southern camp of the water division of Jiugui Jialong had already left secretly, and even Yu Dayou and others were not very clear about the specific movements.
After all, for him, a famous anti-Japanese general, even if both of them are now serving under Sima Yu, it is impossible to make Yu Dayou put aside his prejudices for many years and take the initiative to ask a Japanese coward about the situation.
"I finally couldn't take it anymore! The order was given, and all the soldiers were immediately in place, and the people in the town were recruited to help carry the stones and rolling logs."
Yu Dayou's expression did not change in the slightest, and he calmly ordered.
After nearly a year of development, as one of the major towns in Qilin County, the scale of Shanggang Town has expanded, with nearly 30,000 people in the whole town, plus the people evacuated from Xiangjia Town, the whole town now has a population of more than 40,000, of which there are tens of thousands of people in Qingzhuang alone.
In the face of the 40,000 barbarian army that rushed in, it was not enough to rely on the thousands of people in the North Camp of the Water Division, so they could only recruit the people to help.
In this regard, the people in the town are willing to help, after all, once the barbarian army breaks through the city, they will be the ones who will suffer.
Soon, a large amount of stone and rolling wood were carried to the city wall with the help of the people of the city.
Half an hour later, a dark shadow began to appear hundreds of meters south of Shanggang Town, and 30,000 warriors of the Beishan tribe were scattered on the ground.
At the forefront of the 30,000 Beishan tribesmen's army, 8,000 majestic Flying Bear tribe warriors served as the vanguard of the attack on Shanggang Town.
"Warriors of the tribe, the enemy is ahead, rush, whoever kills the city wall first, the goods and women of the city gate are ours!"
At the front of the team, Fei Ze, the patriarch of the Flying Bear Tribe, stood in front of the formation, raised his right hand slightly, and pointed to the city wall of Shanggang Town not far away.
For these barbarians who live in the mountains and forests all year round, money and women are the most motivating.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
Fei Ze's words suddenly aroused the clansmen in the rear to scream, and their morale was extremely high.
"Rush!"
Morale was high, and with a wave of one hand, 8,000 Flying Bear Tribe warriors galloped away like wild horses and killed towards the walls of Shanggang Town.
"Raise your bow!"
On the city wall, looking at the army of the Flying Bear Tribe rushing below screaming, Yu Dayou's face sank like water, and he raised his hand and ordered calmly.
The sound of the bowstring pulling continued to sound, and 1,000 soldiers of the Beiying Division of the Navy Division holding strong bows drew their bows and were ready to shoot, pointing diagonally into the air.
After coming to this world, due to the failure of firearms, the bird gunners and gunners in the North Battalion of the Sailor Division under the command of Yu Dayou lost their effect, in order to adapt to this situation, he made great efforts to retrain a group of archers, and the proportion of archers accounted for one-third of the entire Sailor North Battalion.
After all, for sailors, long-range striking power is very important.
"Shoot!"
As the warriors of the Flying Bear Tribe crossed the range of arrows shot by the marker, Yu Dayou gave an order, and 1,000 arrows rode out and fell into the sky above the Flying Bear Tribe under the city.
"Block!"
In the face of the rain of arrows flying, Fei Ze shouted, and hundreds of warriors of the Flying Bear tribe holding wooden shields quickly pushed to the front, ready to resist the rain of arrows.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
"Ahh
"Ahh
It's a pity that these improvised simple wooden shields can't resist the sharp arrows that fall from above, directly penetrating the gap between the wooden shield and the soldiers, and shooting at the warriors, screams continue to sound, and some of the Flying Bear Tribe warriors who were shot directly killed on the spot.
A rain of arrows caused the army of the Flying Bear Tribe to pay hundreds of casualties.
"Shoot!"
"Woohoo!"
A constant rain of arrows poured down from the sky above Shanggang Town, blocking the attacks of the Flying Bear Tribe army.
"Disperse!"
Looking at the soldiers who kept falling in the rain of arrows, his face turned red, and the angry Fei Ze ordered loudly.
Under the continuous rain of arrows, the army of the Flying Bear Tribe has paid a heavy price, but nearly a thousand people have lost their combat effectiveness at a distance of tens of meters.
The large number of archers and the benefits of arrows in the north camp of the water division on the wall of Shanggang Town were really beyond the expectations of Fei Ze and others.
As a last resort, Fetzer had no choice but to order a scattering assault, as long as the archers' rain of arrows coverage was broken, the threat of the archers would be greatly reduced.
A salvo without aiming and a precision strike after approaching are two concepts, and the latter, although more accurate, is not feared by large armies with large numbers.
The army of the Flying Bear Tribe, which was already in an uneven formation, scattered again and spread out outside the southern city wall of Shanggang Town, which was hundreds of meters wide, carrying a simple ladder to attack the city.
The distance of hundreds of meters of the battlefield was quickly shortened, and a siege ladder began to set up the city wall, and the top of the ladder was still dozens of centimeters away from the battlements, and a warrior of the Flying Bear tribe began to brave the rain of arrows to attack the city wall.
"Roll the wood!"
"Stones!"
The defenders of the Yangwu Army on the city wall immediately lifted out the stone rolling logs to launch a counterattack, and the heavy rolling logs and stones went down from the siege ladder, and the Flying Bear Tribal warriors on the siege ladder were shot down one after another, causing a lot of damage, and even some of the siege ladders that were not reliable enough were directly crushed.
The warriors of the Flying Bear Tribe who were shot down were either injured and lost their combat effectiveness, or were directly crushed into mud by gravel and rolling wood.
However, the tragedy of their companions did not make many of the Flying Bear Tribal warriors flinch, and they still attacked without fear of death.
"Rush!"
The commanders of the teams below also spared no effort to urge.
"Patriarch Tudanka, the resistance of the Yangwu army on the opposite side is very stubborn, and the Flying Bear Tribe has suffered a lot of losses, should we join the battle immediately!"
As the vanguard, after the army of the Flying Bear tribe launched an attack on Shanggang Town, the armies of the other tribes that came with it did not attack together, but stayed on the edge of the battlefield hundreds of meters away from Shanggang Town.
In this westward invasion, the army of the Juyan tribe led by Tudanka has always been one of the main forces, with a total of more than 20,000 people, although it lost tens of thousands of people in the previous defensive battle of Xiangjia Town, there are still more than 10,000 troops, and it is still the absolute main force in the army attacking Shanggang Town, and the patriarchs of other tribes do not dare to underestimate it.
"Wait! The entire Shanggang Town is only so big, and the people of the Flying Bear Tribe have already occupied most of the city walls, even if we go to support, we will not be able to reach the front line, and it will not help, but will become the target of the archers of the Yangwu Army."
Hearing this, Tudanka shook his head and said, he had lost tens of thousands of people under the silent calculation of Urna Ankang before, and he had learned to be obedient.
Borrowing a knife to kill someone, how good this trick is!
For Tudanka, it would be a good thing for the Boulder Tribe to be able to consume the strength of a warlike tribe like the Flying Bear Tribe now, otherwise they might be one of the executioners who raised their butcher's knives against the Flying Boulder Tribe when they returned.
"Patriarch Tudanka is right, then we'll wait!"
Tudanka's words were in the heart of the tribal chiefs, and they all found the steps to step down, and watched the battle with peace of mind, they were here to seek wealth, and things like fighting with the Yangwu army were naturally left to these belligerent Flying Bears.
Driven by this psychology, the battlefield of the entire Shanggang Town was a little strange for a while.
At the city wall of Shanggang Town in front, the soldiers of the North Battalion of the Water Division were fighting fiercely with the army of the Flying Bear Tribe, but these allies of the Flying Bear Tribe had tens of thousands of people and did not have any assistance, and they sat and watched the blood of the Flying Bear Tribe flowing at the city wall.
"Patriarch! The boulder and other tribes behind didn't keep up! ”
Fei Ze, the chief account of the Flying Bear Tribe, was holding a big knife and personally led the team to launch a fierce attack on the city wall, and was blocked as soon as he climbed the city wall, especially the enemy's main general, who was even more self-assured and brave, Fei Ze was constantly defeated and had to retreat from the city wall.
Just as he was about to lead the team to attack again, a small leader of the Flying Bear Tribe's army came to Fei Ze's side with an ugly face, pointed at the friendly army behind him and reported angrily.
"What? Do they want to sit back and watch my Flying Bear tribe's army perish? Send someone to urge them immediately, if you don't join the battlefield again, my Flying Bear Tribe will immediately retreat! ”
Enraged, Fetzer almost roared and ordered.
Compared to the losses in the grand battle, the wait-and-see of the Giant Rock and other tribes made Fetzer even more annoyed.
"Yes!"
The little leader sped away, and if he didn't leave, he might face the wrath of the patriarch.
"Woo~"
At the urging of the people sent by Fei Ze, Tudanka and the others also had to start to attack, and attacked the city wall of Shanggang Town with a whimpering horn.
This was the last attempt of the Beishan tribe's army, and Tudanka certainly hoped to be able to storm the hinterland of Qilin County, which was rumored to have incredible wealth.
With the full investment of 30,000 Beishan tribesmen's army, Shanggang Town immediately turned into a huge strangulation field, and the tragic siege battle caused countless Beishan tribe barbarians, defending Yangwu soldiers and the people in the city to die in fierce battles.
The battle lasted for three hours, paying the price of thousands of casualties, the army of the Beishan tribe still failed to attack a minute, and the 20,000 troops of the Beishan tribe had to withdraw from the battlefield and began to camp outside the city.
