Chapter 335: Siege!

In the early morning of the next day, with a series of horns, the Han army and 30,000 Goryeo captives, a total of 50,000 horses, slowly lined up outside Daegu City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The distance of two miles can effectively prevent and control the attack of the enemy's eight-bull crossbow, and when the 50,000 troops are assembled, the defenders on the south gate of Daqiu City are highly nervous at this moment.

Li Yuanfang stood on top of the city tower, looking at the army in the distance, his eyes were full of anger at this moment, and he shouted: "Damn, aren't those all the soldiers of my Goryeo Kingdom?" Why are they willing to be the lackeys of the enemy! ”

Not only Li Yuanfang, but the rest of the Goryeo generals and soldiers, seeing the rebels in the distance, who should have been robes, their hearts were shaken at this moment, tens of thousands of rebels, this is not a small number, the enemy's strength is limited, if there are rebels in their own country, then for the Goryeo country, there is no benefit.

Unlike Li Yuanfang's shock, the Han soldiers were in high spirits at the moment, they knew that in the city in front of them, there were enemy troops several times their size, but so what? The soldiers of the Han army looked at the figure in the front, and their eyes were full of fanaticism!

The formation of the Han army at the moment, the tiger and leopard cavalry are on the left, the five thousand Mo sword soldiers are on the right side of the army, behind Liu Chen, the front is one hundred brocade guards, followed by five thousand Han soldiers, followed by thirty thousand Goryeo soldiers, and finally, there are five thousand Han soldiers.

"King, are you going to get started?" Situ Jiannan and Luan Bu followed Liu Chen on the expedition this time, except for Liu Chen, the most powerful general, Luan Bu was mainly in charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry, while Situ Jiannan was in charge of all the other foot soldiers.

Hearing this, Liu Chen looked at the tall city, nodded, and said, "Let's start, this battle must make the enemy fearful!" ”

"No!" Situ Jiannan answered, and then waved his hand, and a loud horn sounded, which was the horn sound representing the attack.

With the sound of the horn, a heavily armed foot soldier, with a neat step, walked out of the formation, this foot soldier of more than 2,000 people, all over the body was shrouded in iron armor, and the outside was also covered with a layer of chain mail, in their hands was a shield as high as a person, they held swords, divided into four rows, lined up, and slowly stepped out in advance.

"General, that's the enemy's heavy infantry!" On the castle tower, the military general who saw this scene shouted and said.

In fact, no one needs to remind him, Li Yuanfang himself saw it, looking at the well-trained heavy infantry, he couldn't help biting his lip, the heavy infantry can be called a killing machine on the battlefield, hundreds of pounds of heavy armor, which can effectively protect the soldiers from harm, rampage on the battlefield, like heavy cavalry, is a nightmare for light infantry.

In Goryeo, there is also a heavy infantry, but it is only 5,000, you must know that the equipment of a heavy infantry can train hundreds of light foot soldiers, which is extremely expensive, so the Goryeo country is also equipped with 5,000 heavy infantry, but at the moment, the enemy army has dispatched 2,000 heavy infantry at once, which can be said to be really wealthy.

However, at this moment, Li Yuanfang was puzzled, because he didn't know what the enemy was fighting, Daqiu City was more than ten meters high, what could he do if he sent heavy infantry?

"General, do you want to attack?" When the heavy infantry of the Han army entered the range of one thousand meters, a military general beside Li Yuanfang asked.

Looking at the approaching heavy infantry, Li Yuanfang's eyes flickered, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Attack!" ”

As soon as Li Yuanfang's words fell, the eight-bull crossbow that had been prepared for a long time began to shoot, and on this city wall, there were ten eight-bull crossbows, and crossbow arrows with extremely strong attack power were launched, and all the Goryeo warriors showed a trace of anticipation in their eyes.

"Defense! The Goryeo army began to shoot, and the Han soldiers were not slow to react, and with the commander's order, every group of fifty people gathered together, stacked their shields, and placed them all in front.

Bang! A crossbow arrow shot at the shield, the power of the eight-bull crossbow is so great, hundreds of meters apart, can penetrate the thick layer of wood, even if many shields are stacked together, the Han soldiers behind were shocked and retreated, and some of the weaker ones were shocked to vomit blood.

A round of crossbow arrows, some of which did not hit the target, and the crossbow arrows that hit the target, because of the protection of several iron shields, did not cause the death of the Han soldiers, but they disrupted the formation of many tortoiseshell formations, and some soldiers were shocked out of internal injuries.

These heavy infantry, but they are all subordinate to Liu Chen's Praetorian Guard Battalion, and they are all composed of powerful soldiers, otherwise they would not be able to fight with a hundred catties of armor, but even so, they are still a little difficult in the face of the terrible Eight Bull Crossbow.

"Reorganize the formation and stride forward!" Among the heavy infantry, there was a commander who shouted loudly.

Although the Han soldiers were a little struggling, they immediately regrouped their formations and strode forward.

"Order, let the crossbowmen of the Goryeo army attack, follow behind the heavy infantry, and cover the heavy infantry!" Liu Chen looked at the scene on the battlefield and immediately ordered.

With a full 3,000 crossbowmen, they were originally all warriors of the Goryeo Kingdom, but at this moment they had to stand on the opposite side of the Goryeo Kingdom.

"Forward!" Goryeo surrendered troops, Liu Chen still let the generals of Goryeo command, but among them was the supervision team of the Han army, so they were not afraid of their tricks, and the Goryeo troops knew their identity, if they wanted to live better, then they had to work harder.

The three thousand crossbowmen spread their steps and ran forward, their speed was much faster than the heavy infantry, and in a short time they caught up with the heavy infantry in front, and they hid behind and continued to move forward, after all, they could not reach the enemy on the tower.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Han army continued to advance until it was only two hundred meters away from the city, when the eight-bull crossbow on the city tower was loaded here, and with an order, the terrible eight-ox crossbow roared again.

Bang bang bang!! At a distance of two hundred meters, the impact of the Eight Bull Crossbow was undoubtedly more terrifying, except for the Eight Bull Crossbow, which was not deadly, the rest of the Eight Bull Crossbow easily broke up the tortoiseshell formation composed of the heavy infantry of the Han Army, and the Han soldiers began to suffer casualties.

Because of the resistance of the iron shield, those warriors were hit by the crossbow arrows later, and their strength had been weakened a lot, dozens of warriors were shocked to death, and the rest were only injured.

However, the crossbowmen behind were not so lucky, hundreds of people were shot by the eight-bull crossbow, and suddenly, screams appeared one after another.

"Reorganize the formation! Push forward! The commander of the heavy infantry roared, and the Han soldiers quickly began to assemble, gritting their teeth, and running forward until they were only about eighty paces away from the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!" On the castle tower, the crossbowmen of Goryeo began to release arrows, and I don't know how many feathered arrows fell, but it was difficult to bring too much damage to the heavily armored Han soldiers.

"Fight back! Fight back! "The three thousand crossbowmen belonging to the Han army were also approaching the city tower at this moment, and under the cover of the heavy infantry iron shield, they began to fight back, and soon, the Goryeo soldiers on the tower of Daegu City also began to suffer casualties!
