Chapter 357: Well Fence Attack
The so-called emergency team of the county lieutenant is actually the elite team sent to him by Zhang Xun. The number is not large, about 3,000 people, all veterans of the Yangzhou army. In Zhang Shi's original plan, these elite Yangzhou soldiers were to be used in a bloody battle after the Nanyang army landed in the city. I didn't expect the first wave of the Nanyang army's attack to be so fierce, not to mention the county soldiers of Jiashi City, even the ordinary Yangzhou soldiers, were shocked by such a dense rain of arrows.
"Let the emergency team attack! Shield-holding cover archers on the walls, they should be more experienced! Zhang Shi had no choice but to agree to send an elite team to support. Otherwise, he worries that he won't last a day.
With professional escorts, the archers of the Yangzhou army finally began to form a decent attack, and the negative Tu Limen of the Nanyang army under the city finally began to suffer casualties. But these casualties came too late. Most of the negative earth wrestlers had already pushed the negative earth cart to the edge of the moat, they pulled out the wooden shields on the negative earth trucks, a few people held the shields, a few people carried dirt sandbags, and cooperated with each other to throw the sandbags on the carts into the moat one by one. The whole set of movements is smooth and skillful, and you can see it at a glance, and there is no lack of practice in ordinary times.
"Let's go! Go back to the camp! After doing this, the negative Tulux monster screamed, played with each other haha, and then put the wooden shield on his car on his back, pushed up the wheelbarrow, spread his feet and fled towards the Nanyang army formation. On the way back, if they encounter some unlucky people who are unfortunately shot in the calf, ankle and other unprotected parts, they will pause, throw these wailing unlucky eggs on the wheelbarrow, and push them back to the medical army of the main camp for treatment.
Five hundred negative Tu Lux were full of arrows on top of wooden shields, wheelbarrows, and even armor, but very few died directly on the battlefield! This is simply unthinkable for Zhang Shi! Filling the river with negative soil has always been the most deadly part of the siege process. But the Nanyang Army has changed this link for the first time. The ground beyond the moat was empty, and thousands of arrows lay desolate upside down on the dirt like reeds after autumn. They were supposed to be sharp weapons to kill, but now they have become a symbol of the incompetence of the Yangzhou army.
Every Negative Earth Lux who returns will be richly rewarded. Wine, meat, copper coins, and honor. Even if you unfortunately die on the battlefield, there is a lot of pension. They are truly living to the death, and it is less difficult than going to the city to fight the enemy. In the past siege warfare, the moat was filled with human lives. The only difference is whether the lives are filled in by innocent civilians or soldiers who have already been killed. These negative earth wreaths made a good start and greatly boosted the morale of the Nanyang army. On the contrary, the Yangzhou army in the stone city was demoralized, without the protection of the moat, and the next thing was the battle of the city, and the flesh and blood of the sword and gun were fighting......
"Can Jiashi City last two and a half days in a bloody battle?" The county commander Zhang Shi's heart was bleak.
……
In the Nanyang Army, with the successful triumph of the negative Tulishi, He Xian immediately issued the third military order: "The archers withdraw!" The sword and shield hand withdraws! The Repeater Special Warfare Team Attack! Well Bar Attack! Nanyang is attacking in a heavy step! ”
The five hundred archers, who had completed their cover, were removed from the two well railings and replaced by a team of fifty, making a total of two teams of one hundred diminutive repeaters. The reason for choosing short stature is only one purpose: to lose weight. Because next, the well fence will move up close to the city walls. If it's too heavy, the well-bar wrestler won't be able to drive this big guy. Although these 100 crossbowmen are short in stature, they are the elite of the Nanyang Army's crossbow battalion. They stand out from thousands of repeaters, and not just because of their weight. Their shooting accuracy is also the elite of the elite, and in terms of the selection standards of later generations, they are all good seedlings of snipers!
After the crossbow team boarded the well fence, the well fence wrestler restarted and began to advance towards Jiashi City. At the same time, a thousand Nanyang heavy steps replaced the work of the sword and shield men, and they were divided into two teams to guard the left and right sides of the two well railings, carrying swords and shouting the slogan "Nanyang heavy steps, slashing horses", and slowly moving forward with heavy steps. They were all in armor, from head to toe, and Chi Guoguo ignored the threat of the Yangzhou army's archers.
On the stone city wall, the poor Yangzhou archers were exhausted, and just now in order to repel the negative earth carts, they had fired their bows and arrows about ten times. No matter how loud the Warlord's whip was, they could no longer pull the heavy bowstring with their trembling arms. They could only wait for the well fence to get closer, and then they could barely pull a little bowstring and shoot the rocket towards the well fence. And this distance has officially entered the attack range of the Nanyang repeater.
Although the range of the repeater is not as long as that of a bow and arrow, it does not consume arm strength and is more stable than a bow and arrow. One hundred members of the repeater crossbow special operations team opened fire freely, and all Yangzhou Army archers who were exposed to their field of vision were the priority targets to be eliminated. After dozens of archers fell to the ground one after another, the archers of the Yangzhou army finally began to be ruthless, ignoring the possible damage caused by overdraft, and the archers launched a counterattack one after another. But it is not destined to be an unequal battle. On one side is the killer who is ready to attack, and on the other side is the defeated army at the end of the strong crossbow. This group of defeated troops, because of their anger, consumed the last trace of arm strength. Now, even if the well fence is advanced to the distance of a river, it is difficult for them to shoot effective rockets.
Zhang Shi had forgotten to command the battle, and he looked at the 1,000 Nanyang Chongbu who were holding more than seven feet long horse swords next to the two well railings in a daze, and his face turned pale.
The county lieutenant said in a panic: "For today's plan, only by sending elite soldiers out of the city to fight at the cost of life and death can we destroy those two terrifying big guys!" Don't hesitate any longer! ”
Is Zhang Shi hesitating? No! He was just wondering, would the Yangzhou soldiers sent to him by Zhang Xun be elite enough to defeat these terrifying infantry armed with swords? Will they not even be able to touch the well fence when they go out of the city, and they will be cut into two pieces by the sword? In the end, Zhang Shi still didn't dare to send troops out of the city, he was worried that after leaving the city, Jiashi City would only cover the ground faster.
"The Repeater Battalion is attacking! Nanyang Nanyang light step the first school and the second school to attack! “
Under the escort of Nanyang infantry, the two well railings successfully arrived in front of the moat of Jiashi City. Since Zhang Shi didn't dare to send troops out of the city to fight, He Xian issued the fourth military order without hesitation! The heavy infantry was not the main force of the siege at all, and He Xian did not think of letting the heavy infantry climb the high ladder! They are just the guards of the well fence, the target to attract the enemy's firepower, and at the same time, they are also a demonstration of the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang Army, or rather, a deterrent!
