Chapter 225: What's the Situation?
Just when Liu Chen ordered the attack on the earthen wall, behind the earthen wall, many warriors had already gathered densely, but they were different from the warriors of Jin Liao and Jinliao, they had animal skins on their bodies, and they were wearing standard armor similar to that of the Donglong Empire, and they were the warriors of the Goryeo Kingdom.

It was Xiao Tianyou, the general of the Liao State, who went to meet Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, leading 20,000 Liao cavalry and 10,000 Jin cavalry to attack, Jin Ze, the owner of the Red Banner of the Jin State, was sitting in Pinggu City, and Li Yuanao, the general of the Goryeo State, was automatically asked to lead 30,000 Goryeo soldiers to block the actions of the Donglong Empire's army twenty miles south of Pinggu City!
Li Yuanao can be regarded as a relatively powerful general, and after fighting for such a long time, even if he doesn't want to believe it, he has to admit that there is still a certain gap between the army of Goryeo and the soldiers of the Eastern Dragon Empire, so in a head-to-head battle, Li Yuanao directly vetoed it.
Overnight, 30,000 soldiers worked together to build this one-mile-long earthen wall, and there were 3,000 warriors on the hills on the left and right, and the other warriors were all arranged behind the earthen wall, although this earthen wall was not high, but Li Yuanao was confident that he could block the footsteps of the Donglong Empire's army.
When he saw Liu Chen's troops overwhelming from far and near, Li Yuanao's heart was shocked fiercely, as long as the number was tens of thousands, it was difficult to count the number, not to mention the army in front of him, it was definitely more than tens of thousands, and unlike the Donglong Empire army he had seen before, this army marched very neatly, and it could almost be forbidden, he couldn't help but regret it secretly in his heart, why did he come here to block the enemy?
However, it was too late for Li Yuanao to regret it, because he also saw thousands of cavalry on both sides of the Han army, as long as he dared to withdraw his troops, what awaited him would be a merciless slaughter!
It was impossible to retreat, and Li Yuanao could only hope that the 30,000 troops under his command could block the opponent's attack.
。。。。。。
"Marine battalion, forward!" The marine battalion had a total of 5,000 people, and 1,000 people were an echelon, and Xiahou Ying divided the entire battalion into five echelons to attack in turn.
With Xiahou Ying's order, the soldiers of the 5,000 Marine Battalion, holding a standard horizontal sword in their right hand and a wooden shield in their left hand, marched towards the earthen wall with neat steps.
Originally, the marine battalion did not have a shield, but this time it was a tough battle, there were a lot of light infantry here, and there was no shortage of wooden shields, although the defensive power of the wooden shield was not as good as the heavy shields held by the heavy infantry of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, but the general feather arrows were enough to block it.
Behind the soldiers of the Marine Battalion, there were five hundred and one echelons, a total of four echelons of archers, holding bows in their left hands and arrows on the bowstring with their right hands, ready to open their bows at any time.
"Click!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
The five thousand soldiers of the Marine Battalion advanced step by step, the horizontal knife in their hands slapped the wooden shield in front of them, and their mouths let out a shout, their momentum was like a rainbow, giving great pressure to the Goryeo soldiers, and the battle spirit was condensed, and as they continued to enter the earthen wall, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was solidified.
"Whoosh !!"
Xiahou Ying led the troops to be more than 150 steps away from the earthen wall, and he was stunned to find that a dense rain of arrows in the direction of the earthen wall was overwhelmingly launched.
"What's going on?" Not only Xiahou Ying, but also these attacking Marine Battalion soldiers are depressed, ordinary bows and arrows, a hundred steps is the extreme, unless it is an eight-ox crossbow to achieve a distance of hundreds of meters, the enemy army obviously does not have a eight-ox crossbow, using ordinary bows and arrows, but at such a long distance, who can this arrow hit?
Not surprisingly, thousands of arrows were inserted sixty or seventy steps in front of Xiahou Ying's body, not to mention hurting people, and he couldn't even threaten them.
"Wouldn't the enemy generals be a little stupid?" In the rear, Liu Chen saw this scene and said with some irony.
In the direction of the earthen wall, Li Yuanao, who saw this scene, turned dark, he did not order the arrows to be released, but he knew what was going on, the enemy's offensive momentum suppressed the archers under his command, and an archer shot a feather arrow with a nervous moment, and then all the nervous archers seemed to have found an outlet, and shot the feather arrows in their hands one after another, so the scene in front of him appeared.
"This bunch of garbage!" Li Yuanao scolded secretly in his heart, he still planned to rely on these 30,000 soldiers to save his life, but in this case, Li Yuanao was really a little lacking in confidence in the 30,000 soldiers under his command.
"Kill!" Regardless of what the enemy is going on, after a wave of feather arrows, Xiahou Ying ordered the warriors to charge!
Normally, archers shoot arrows in batches to ensure that the feathered arrows do not stop, but this time the enemy apparently shot all the feathered arrows at once, and they need to reopen their bows and arrows, and this is their chance.
One hundred and fifty steps is not far away, but it is not close, for the light infantry, it is only a dozen breaths of time to rush through, with Xiahou Ying's order, all the soldiers of the marine battalion took a step forward and launched a charge!
"Kill!" Five thousand warriors ran forward at high speed, the wooden shield in their hands was raised high, although the distance was not far, but they would at least withstand one or two waves of arrow rain, at this time, the wooden shield in their hands was their talisman!
Rushing out nearly a hundred paces in one go, the enemy's feather arrows finally fell from the sky again, the distance between the two armies was only fifty or sixty paces, and the thousands of feathered arrows all fell into the camp charged by the soldiers of the Marine Battalion.
"Knock knock!" The feather arrows fell, nailed to the shields held high by the soldiers of the Marine Battalion, making a clanging sound, and soon, there were several or even a dozen feather arrows on each wooden shield, and some unlucky soldiers were shot by the feather arrows and fell to the ground and let out a howl.
At this time, there is no one to treat, because this time is the most critical time, and the soldiers who are hit by the arrows will only make them more threatening, and they can only rush to the end in one breath, so that the enemy's archers cannot shoot arrows, and the warriors behind will naturally have someone to carry the wounded soldiers down.
After paying nearly 300 casualties, before the enemy launched the third wave of arrows, Xiahou Ying was the first to rush to the side of the earthen wall, and then the two-meter-high earthen wall, he just supported it with one hand, and crossed this earthen wall, and then slashed a few horizontal knives in his hand, and several soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom were killed!
"Kill!" At the earthen wall, two soldiers held wooden shields on their knees, they half-crouched, and then, one after another, the soldiers of the Marine Battalion climbed over the earthen wall through this simple artificial ladder, and fought hand-to-hand, which unfolded in an instant!
