Outside Chengxiang, the commander had already lost his commander, and the casualties were more than 20%, and the archers, like frightened birds, were pardoned after hearing the order from the rear. They shot and walked, splitting into two wings to the left and right, while on the chariot side, drummers began to beat the drums.

At first, because of the uproar of the people inside and outside the township, the drums did not sound.

Gradually, the dull drum beat of "Knock, Knock, Knock" clearly reached the ears of everyone in the city.

Zhao Wuxian had already felt the change on the other side, and his heart sank at this time: "Drumming? This is the other side is about to launch a general attack! ”

The frequency of the drum was not fast, but it was in tune with the rhythm of the heartbeat, and at first I didn't feel it, but when I heard the unhurried drum sound outside the city, everyone clearly felt the resoluteness contained in it.

An indescribable pressure pervades everyone's minds.

Zhao Wuxian looked from the watchtower and found that under the illumination of the torch, more than 500 apprentices on the opposite side were divided into five columns, and under the escort of each captain and two Simas, they ran towards the wall of the city.

Each assault column was roughly divided into three parts: the frontmost rows of armor men held wooden shields, and they were the most difficult vanguards, looking like a wall of shields slowly pushing forward.

The apprentices in the middle carry crudely made ladders and planks, which can be used to block arrows on the one hand, and to climb the walls through the ravines on the other. The last three hundred or so people were the follow-up force of the attack, and various weapons of various lengths and shorts were held high in front of their chests, like a moving dark forest.

The night at the end of September was supposed to be cold, but Zhao Wuxian was feeling too hot now, and he wiped a handful of sweat on his fur-wearing forehead.

It was his heart that was burning.

the decisive battles of those "million-strong armies" that were read in the history books in the past; After coming to the Spring and Autumn Period, I heard Zhao Ying talk about the previous battles: the Battle of Yanling and the Battle of Baiju were all general battles of more than 100,000 people, which once fascinated him.

"Presumably, that scene must be countless times more spectacular than today's small fight!"

The number of soldiers in the annals of those bamboo slips is 500 times, 1,000 times, 10,000 times, 100,000 people. It's easy to see. But when it was really projected into reality, Zhao Wuxian realized that the "Chengyi Attack and Defense" of the two sides added up to only 2,000 people tonight, and there was such a big scene. Give people such a huge pressure.

With his current ability, he can barely control it, if there are more of them and no matter how big the scene is, it will be a bit clumsy.

"It seems that I am only a brigade commander now. It is still very early for Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to be able to command 100,000 soldiers. ”

As soon as the thoughts are released, it is difficult to take them back, and I don't know, is Yu Xi for help? In the lower palace at this time, what are Ji Huan and Le Lingzi doing? Zhao Ying, the backbone of the clan, has he woken up?

These thoughts were just the blink of an eye, and after a short period of confusion, Zhao Wuxian's face became solemn again.

Five columns began to move in the light of the torch, which was spectacular in the night. It was as if a big hand stretched out from the darkness by the brigade commander on the opposite side, trying to flatten Chengxiang and strangle Zhao Wuxian to death!

It was a chess game, an endgame between him and the conductor opposite.

"Although I am not good, I will never lose the battle tonight!"

The scholars looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, and they were a little anxious, and they were about to stand up against the rain of arrows on the opposite side to meet them, but they were stopped by Zhao Wuxian.

"It's still far away, and it's hard for a bow to reach it. What's more, there is also the cover of the archers on the opposite side, and it is not too late to wait for them to be within thirty paces. ”

Once the apprentice rushes too close, the opposing archer is afraid of being injured by the headwind. I didn't dare to shoot an arrow.

Zhao Wuxian is confident that he will win, but these people and Chinese people around him don't know if they can see the sun tomorrow. If possible, Wuxian also wants to protect them as much as possible, but he will only besiege the city with moths, exchanging lives for lives. That's what the other side of the world did.

When the scholars heard this, they squatted back, indeed, only by bringing the enemy closer, could they have an accurate head.

During this time, the arrows flew overhead, and the archers outside the city had given up the rockets that had no effect, and only threw them from the sides to the middle, and most of the arrows still fell outside the wall.

In the contest of talents, the Fan archers had lost their courage and were now just lazily shooting and carrying out their tasks perfunctorily.

In the city, there were heralds who received the order and rushed to both sides of the wall against the building, conveying Zhao Wuxian's orders while running.

"The people who carry bows and arrows also shoot out of the city when they hear the sound of the gong!"

The watchtower has a limited location, so only a few elite shooters can go up. The bow-wielding people who were arranged on the east and west walls of the back door, although they did not have such strong archery skills, they could still shoot the bow at close range. After receiving the order, they took the "shi" as a unit, and under the call of the military officials, they half-crouched, bowed and arrowed down their shoulders, and just waited for the signal.

Although they have never had the experience of war, the people of the country are brave and brave, and there are still four seasons of martial arts and juju activities to cultivate a collective consciousness, and now when facing the battle, they still perform well, and there is no panic and fall when moving.

Looking at the tower, looking from Xing Ao's position, he also found the difference between these robbers.

"Good orderly robber...... "Like most people in Chengxiang, he doesn't know the true identity of these people.

They were not like the bandits at the front door, huddled in a mess, but kept order under the shouts of the soldiers, and the formation was relatively scattered. In this way, if Fang Cai Wanglou Caishi released arrows, the threat to them would be greatly reduced, and Xing Ao couldn't help but secretly say that the gentleman was like a god, and he also learned a trick.

With every ten steps, the attacker will aim left and right, slow down or speed up, and line up. As the saying goes, "Today's things are only six steps and seven steps, but they are all together", which is the habit of the regular army of Zhuxia after the Zhou division defeated Yin in an orderly formation from the Battle of Muye.

"Sixty steps, fifty steps, forty steps!" Xing Ao shouted to report.

As Zhao Wuxian expected, for fear of accidental injury, the arrows on the opposite side were sparse until they stopped.

"Second and third sons, open a bow and arrow!"

The priests took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the watchtower, pulling their bows apart and stabilizing them slightly. Illuminated by the campfires inside and outside the walls, they each aimed at their targets: the armorers who protected their upper bodies with wooden shields, but their lower bodies were exposed; and the apprentices who carry spears and climb ladders to follow in the footsteps.

The cat's waist, hiding behind the wall, also moved to the low platform, and raised the bow and arrow high above their heads with both hands. If you are tall, you can vaguely see the enemy advancing towards this side, and then you realize that it is really different from aiming at the target when shooting in the countryside.

Thanks to the usual practice, in the face of hundreds of enemies approaching the city, the people of the country, although a little apprehensive, did not make any mistakes in the process of setting up arrows and firing bows. Cold arrows were on the strings and aimed outside.

Forty steps, thirty steps!

"Boom!"

Xing Ao rang the gong heavily!

"Archery! Archery! ”

There were countless sounds of "whoosh", more than a dozen scholars, and twenty or thirty people with bows. Arrows were shot at different times.

The watchtower shot early, fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already shot into the attacker's formation, causing a scream.

Because of the accurate aiming, the shield walls in front of them basically did not play a protective role. The apprentices behind were hit by arrows one after another, as if swept by a gale, and fell down in an instant. Immediately after, slower arrows arrived, almost half of them were nailed to the shields, and only a few were wounded.

This wave of rapid fire caused half of the attackers, that is, twenty or thirty casualties.

"Don't panic, raise your shield high!" In the city, you can even hear the shouts of the "bandit leader" on the other side. Only the shouts were quickly drowned out by even greater screams and confusion, and the second round of arrows arrived.

The charge slowed down more than twenty paces away, and many armor soldiers subconsciously hid their entire bodies behind their shields, and the apprentices who didn't have much defense only dared to shrink their bodies and never dared to take a step forward.

However, the drumbeat in the rear became rapid in vain, and at the urging of the soldiers, the attackers were forced to get up, adjust their formation, and once again attack in the rain of arrows. This time. They had finally advanced twenty paces, within the death distance of the fences and ravines.

The armor raised his shield aloft, hoping to block the attack, and the apprentices carrying the ladder half-bent over the ravine. During this period, some people stumbled and fell, and some people slashed with weapons or moved the fence together.

This stagnation gave the Caishi and the bow-wielding people a chance to continue to kill!

"Shoot again, shoot again!"

With the experience of two sharp shots, I saw the results with my own eyes. Not to mention the experience of the people who have been shot upstairs, even the people of the country are much more relaxed. Under the shouts of Zhao Wuxian and the military officials, they methodically opened their bows, wound them, and shot them again.

In the short time that the attackers were blocked, the sharp shot had reached the sixth time, and their formation was attacked again, and a total of more than 60 people fell to the ground.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to sound, and the screams were continuous, many ladders and planks fell to the ground, and the column of the apprentices began to scatter, and some people had already turned around and ran to the rear.

"The lord has a word, and those who use their lives will not retreat, and they will be killed in the society, attack the past, fill in the ravines, and cross the walls!" The retreating apprentices were immediately slain, and with the violent beat of the drums, a burst of shouts rang out again.

After all, the obstacles that were temporarily arranged in a few days were limited, and before the seventh salvo could be fired, the obstacles were finally broken!

Zhao Wuxian had already gone down the watchtower at this time and took over the command of the guards and the apprentices.

Standing on the low platform behind the wall, he looked at the situation opposite, and said in his heart that he was lucky tonight. Generally speaking, within a hundred paces of arrows, there are no more than three shots at the enemy, and thanks to the blessing of the obstacles arranged by the sheep's tongue, everyone has been able to open the bow six times.

Fortunately, the archers on the opposite side cooperated with these armorers and apprentices very ordinary. If they can restore their morale and stand forty or fifty paces away and shoot, they can actually suppress the city.

Perhaps, it is the two families together, not the same soldiers, so the run-in is very tacit? Zhao Wuxian could even guess where the enemy came from based on their performance.

Now, everything was going well, and Zhao Wuxian glanced at the preparations around him: the boiling water in the cauldron was already boiling, and the well, together with the villagers of the two baggage, transported the things that Zhao Wuxian had specially ordered.

Zhao Wuxian wasn't sure how effective those things would be and whether they could achieve the results he wanted. Hopefully, we can end the fight before we do it, and we won't have to be pushed to that point! (To be continued.) )
