Chapter 226: Soldiers Approaching Pinggu
"Ready! Shoot the arrows! Just when Xiahou Ying led the soldiers of the landing camp to the edge of the earthen wall, Li Yu led two thousand crossbowmen to a distance of more than fifty steps from the earthen wall.
"Whoosh!" An echelon of 500 people fired non-stop, except for a few arrows that fell on the unlucky soldiers of the Marine Battalion, the rest all flew towards the enemy behind the earthen wall, and as the screams continued to sound, ten meters behind the earthen wall, there was a no-man's land six or seven meters wide. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Formation, defense!" Xiahou Ying killed the enemies around him, wiped the blood splashed on his face, and looked around, more than a hundred soldiers had crossed the earthen wall, so he shouted, "Move closer to me!" ”
Although he successfully crossed the earthen wall, the more than 100 people were still a little thin in the face of thousands of enemies, and now what Xiahou Ying had to do was to take up a position behind this earthen wall and wait for the follow-up soldiers to cross the earthen wall one by one.
Li Yu's crossbowmen gave Xiahou Ying a lot of help, although some warriors were killed, but on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, this kind of thing often happens, he didn't say anything, but the enemy panicked because of this continuous arrow rain, at least nearly a thousand people were killed and wounded, and not many people dared to step into the place where the arrow rain fell, which also caused Xiahou Ying's soldiers who crossed the earthen wall to feel light.
"Kill! Kill me! Death to those who retreat! Li Yuanao shouted frantically from behind, "The enemy only has more than a hundred people, kill these more than 100 people and defend the earthen wall!" ”
This is Li Yuanao's last chance, he knows that if he really lets the enemy gain a foothold here, then as the number of enemies continues to increase, they will become more and more passive, so the only thing he can do now is to kill all the enemies who have broken through and recapture the earthen wall position.
Li Yuanao's order played a role, and many Goryeo warriors, holding wooden shields, shouted and attacked in the direction of Xiahou Ying under the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
At this time, more than 200 people had gathered around Xiahou Ying, and on the earthen wall, one after another soldiers were constantly jumping.
"Round Shield Array!" Xiahou Ying shouted violently, holding a wooden shield, standing at the front, and then, the other warriors took him as the base point, spread out in a semi-arc left and right, and blocked in front of them with a shield in one hand, they constructed a semicircular shield array, and a company of three rows of warriors surrounded the front, leaving a large open space behind for more warriors to support over.
"Kill!" The Goryeo warriors attacked frantically, and the soldiers of the Marine Battalion led by Xiahou Ying defended desperately, they formed a round shield formation, blocking wave after wave of attacks, once the soldiers in front were killed, the soldiers in the second row immediately made up, at this moment, they forgot the fear of death, they only knew one thing, that is, the enemy must not be allowed to break through.
"Knock down the dirt wall!" There were fighters shouting from behind.
This earthen wall was built temporarily, it is not very strong, and the thickness of about a foot is not very difficult to destroy, after all, this is made of earth and stone, as long as they destroy the earthen wall, they can let the army break through!
"Quick, release the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Li Yuanao had already retreated to fifty meters away, and the whole person was already on top of the war horse, he had already made up his mind that if the battle situation was not ideal, he would retreat.
As the saying goes, stand high and see far, Li Yuan rode on his war horse, and easily saw the Han soldiers who were destroying the earthen wall, he was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot arrows.
The scattered feathered arrows were shot towards the soldiers of the Marine Battalion, but they did not do anything at all, and some soldiers had already seen this move and raised their shields to block these feathered arrows.
And until this time, Li Yuanao suddenly found that the enemy's crossbowmen shot arrows, and the biggest loss on his side was the archers, and he looked at it, only to see that hundreds of crossbowmen had not gathered together at all, and several or dozens of people stood together, facing the enemy's arrows, such an attack could threaten the enemy.
"Damn! Go up to me, and take the position back for me no matter what! Li Yuanao yelled irritably.
The soldiers on this side of the marine battalion didn't care what Li Yuanao's mood was, outside the stone wall and inside the stone wall at the same time, they used the horizontal knives in their hands to constantly destroy the stone wall, hundreds of people worked together, and soon a small section of the stone wall was destroyed, and then it was like a levee, and the length of the destroyed stone wall became longer and longer.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the gap about fifty meters wide was cleared, and without the obstruction of the stone wall, Liu Chen and the others in the distance could easily see Xiahou Ying and them who were fighting.
"Lord, the stone wall has been broken, attack!" By Liu Chen's side, Yang Zaixing was already lonely, and seeing that the stone wall had been destroyed at this moment, he said impatiently to Liu Chen.
"Lord, I'm waiting for the battle!" Han Shizhong, Yang Rong, Situ Jiannan and other generals also shouted one after another, seeing the soldiers of the Marine Battalion fighting bloodily, they had already been in full swing, and they were eager to kill happily!
The situation behind the earthen wall was unobstructed, Liu Chen knew that he had thought too much, the enemy did not have any ambush, he just wanted to block their footsteps, but the stone wall had been breached, could they still stop their footsteps?
At that moment, Liu Chen decisively raised his right hand, and then waved it down, with murderous intent in his mouth, and shouted: "Order, the whole army will attack!" ”
"Master Hou has an order, the whole army will attack!"
"Master Hou has an order, the whole army will attack!"
"Master Hou has an order, the whole army will attack!"
“。。。。。。”
The heralds on the side rode their horses to the soldiers of the various phalanxes, and they galloped wildly, while shouting orders.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The heavy drums of war sounded, and the blood of all the warriors boiled.
"Woo~~~!" The horn of the attack was finally remembered, and all the warriors were stunned, and then they took steps and launched an attack!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! More than 50,000 soldiers let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, they were full of fighting intent, they rushed towards the enemy with blood and killing intent!
"Retreat! Fall back! When he saw tens of thousands of enemy troops attacking, Li Yuanao's face was defeated, he knew that he had lost this battle, and all he could do now was to retreat, retreat before the enemy rushed up!
Originally, the soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom, who still had some fighting spirit, became completely defeated because of Li Yuanao's orders, and they turned around and ran away, without the discipline that a soldier should have.
"Hahaha, brothers, the enemy has retreated! Kill me! Xiahou Ying looked at the Goryeo soldiers who turned around and ran in front of him, laughed, threw away the shield in his hand, and chased the enemy with a horizontal knife in his hand, now they don't need a shield, what they need is speed!
The battle did not last long, and it took just over two hours to complete the battle, and the battle ended in a complete rout of the 30,000 soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom.
The soldiers under Liu Chen's command once covered up outside Pinggu City, because the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom was dispatched, and then they turned back, but it didn't take long for nearly 60,000 troops under Liu Chen's command to come to Pinggu City! (To be continued.) )
