Chapter 106: Prepare to Charge
"Attack!"
Soon the oil tanks on the city wall were all lost, and Lin Bei led the soldiers to take the stones that had been placed on the city wall and threw them down fiercely.
"Ahh
The stones smashed down densely, the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were caught off guard, and were hit by these stones, many soldiers who had already climbed half of them fell down one after another, and before they could get up, they were hit by the soldiers who fell from above, and the screams continued.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gate-breaking troops kept attacking the gate with huge logs, while the soldiers guarding the gate pushed the gate with their bodies to prevent it from being broken by the other side.
"General! The city gates are almost unbearable! ”
On the city tower, a soldier hurriedly reported the situation of the city gate to Lin Bei, after repeated collisions, the current city gate is already in danger, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
"Are there still oil tanks?!"
After Lin Bei heard the soldier's report, he shouted loudly to the guards beside him: "All the oil tanks are concentrated at the city gate and attack the city gate breaking troops!" ”
"General, the oil tanks are all gone!"
The personal guard replied to Lin Bei's words while directing the soldiers on the city tower to continue throwing stones.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a sharp arrow burst through the air and hit the guard directly in the head, and after a scream, he fell to the ground and his neck was tilted to one side, no longer alive.
"Damn!"
Lin Bei was also very angry when he saw that his guards were shot to death by the Northern Yuan soldiers, he grabbed a bow casually, and the arrow was sharp, the bowstring was complete, and he aimed at Gusuteng to charge a blow.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Ding!"
The two sharp arrows collided in the air, and after a golden sound, they fell, and at this time, Lin Bei saw that Gu Suteng in the Northern Yuan army was also holding a curved bow, but what surprised him even more was that there was a sharp arrow in the other party's hand that had been wound, and when he reacted, the sound of the sharp arrow breaking through the air sounded, and it shot straight towards his head.
"Hey!"
Thanks to Lin Bei's quick reaction, he instantly blocked the saber in front of him, just blocking the sharp arrows that came over.
"Humph!"
Gu Suteng was also a little unhappy when he saw that Lin Bei had blocked his arrow, and at this time he didn't take another arrow, because Lin Bei had now grabbed a door panel to cover his body, and Gu Suteng couldn't aim at the other party anymore.
"General!"
"What's the matter!"
"The vanguard has suffered heavy losses, do you want to withdraw first?"
"Pull off the fart! Go on the offensive! Their gates are almost overwhelmed! ”
And in the five miles behind Gusuteng, the troops led by Li Gengyun had quietly approached the offensive position, and the shouts of killing outside the city of Xima shook the sky, and they had already heard it.
"Brother Yun, it's time for us to do it!"
He Jin was also a little itchy when he heard the sound of the fight, he kept rubbing his palms, and asked Li Gengyun with a smile: "Brother Yun, will I kill Gu Suteng first or kill his soldiers first?" ”
"Don't worry, we just arrived, according to the sound, we can judge that we are still some distance from them, order the whole army to rest for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, the whole army will attack the Northern Yuan army outside Xima City!"
"Yes!"
Li Gengyun is not in a hurry at all now, this battle is going to be fought sooner or later, they have been on the road from the second half of the night to the present, there is not much rest on the road, and the next thing is to have an extremely difficult battle, take advantage of the current recovery of physical strength, let all the soldiers eat something, and only later will they have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy.
"The whole army rests in place for a quarter of an hour, everyone eats something, and we will kill a few more yuan dogs later! Do you understand?! ”
"Got it!"
The soldiers were also very calm after hearing Li Gengyun's military order, and they sat on the ground one after another, took out the prepared dry food from their bodies and began to eat.
Li Gengyun also took out the dry food and ate it at this time, and he was thinking while eating, it was not yet noon, and Gusuteng had already begun to attack Xima City, which means that the military rations of the Yuan army should indeed have been eaten this morning.
"According to the way the march is arranged, the vanguard of the Northern Yuan attack on Xima City this time should be the 20,000 infantry, and there should be a squad among the heavy armor soldiers who are specially used to break through the city gate. The archer troops will definitely stop attacking when the Northern Yuan infantry enters the city walls. So this time, the archers should be at the rear, and the 20,000 infantry at the front. These five thousand heavy armor soldiers should only be divided into a part, and the rest is likely to be guarding Gusuteng's side. ”
As Li Gengyun expected, Gu Suteng's arrangement this time was that the infantry was in the front, he and those heavy armor soldiers were in the middle, and those archers should have been arranged in the last column.
The defense of the five thousand heavy armor soldiers is almost insoluble in the field, and if the other party forms a phalanx to attack, it is like a mobile human tank, which can crush the six thousand soldiers he brought. Now the arrangement made by Gu Suteng is exactly what Li Gengyun wants to see, 5,000 archers are in the last column, so Li Gengyun's infantry can charge as soon as they enter the battlefield, and fight the archers hand-to-hand in close combat, and the 1,000 archers he brought can also cover those infantry and advance the battle line before charging.
Lin Bei's Li Gengyun still knows a little, in the original book, he died early, but the generals who are alive have a high opinion of him. Moreover, Lin Bei has held on to West Malaysia City for so many days without surrendering, Li Gengyun can already judge that this Lin Bei is a brave and resourceful patriotic general, if he finds that the army on his side is reinforcing them, then the 20,000 troops in his hands will definitely not sit still, and go out of the city to form a two-sided offensive with his own soldiers, which the other party will not be unclear about.
However, the premise of Li Gengyun's plans must be that Gu Suteng's army has not yet entered Xima City to complete, so Li Gengyun will ask the troops to hurry up in the second half of the night. Now that the battlefield of West Malaysia City continues to break out with such a big movement, it is conceivable that now should be the time when the battle is the most intense, so Li Gengyun decided to rest for a quarter of an hour before charging. Under the condition of ensuring that their soldiers have sufficient physical strength, they united with Lin Bei's troops and rushed into the battlefield at the most critical time, so as to achieve the most effective attack effect.
"Ah Jin! Later, you will break into the battle with a group of soldiers, be sure to capture the gates of the city before Gusuteng's troops storm the city of Sima, and remember, hold the gates no matter what! ”
"Brother Yun, don't worry, I can assure you that as long as I go to the gate of Xima City, I promise that no one will be able to rush into the city!"
After He Jin heard Li Gengyun's words, he also patted his chest and assured the other party that he would definitely be able to complete the task.
