As the first batch of pioneers to enter the city, the six Yeli family soldiers were slaughtered by Team A on the city tower almost in a few breaths. Only one of the six men stepped on the top of the city, and the one standing on the right side of the two soldiers faced by this party soldier was too panicked in the face of actual combat for the first time, and when he stabbed the party soldier in the waist with an oblique shot, he actually slipped a little, and the ghost almost missed the stab. Fortunately, the soldier who was in the group with him reacted quickly, and the party soldier in front of him had already stepped on the city with one foot, and the two outside one foot were about to step in, when the ladder was already under his feet, and the soldier in front of him used his spear to resist the round shield of the party soldier and pushed him off the city.

The soldiers who saw blood for the first time were a little apprehensive at first, and then they became nervous again - their captain was shouting for death again, which did not mean anything, only that there were enemies behind them.

The stabbing soldier bowed his head in shame, and the disgruntled gaze of his companion made him embarrassed, and he couldn't speak loudly on the battlefield, otherwise the brother in the same group would have scolded him a long time ago.

A hand was placed on the soldier's shoulder......

The soldier was startled, but he didn't dare to turn his face to look - the captain would scold his mother.

The other hand grabbed the barrel of his gun, and a gentle voice sounded behind him: "Don't panic, it's like this for the first time you kill someone, don't think so much, stab your gun where it should be......"

"It's like this—"

As he spoke, another enemy had climbed up, and the hand holding the barrel of his gun pushed forward hard, and the soldier also sent it forward, and the blade of the gun broke directly into the soft abdomen along the gap in the lower right corner of the enemy's round shield, and then the hand drove the barrel of the gun to turn and stir, and pulled backwards, and the bloody blade was pulled out of the enemy's body, bringing out a cloud of blood mist along the way.

"That's it, how easy it is - you see, you can do it......"

The voice let go of the soldier's wrist and the barrel of the gun.

Listening to the man behind him jump down the ravine and walk away, the soldier shook his head and looked at the bloodied blade of the spear, making sure that it was not his hallucination; He gritted his teeth and stared at the swaying ladder, and when the third enemy was exposed, the soldier held his breath until the enemy's waist was exposed, and then he viciously stabbed the wooden spear out of his hand......

Li * sighed and walked back to his place, and said with a sad look on his face: "Tenth ......"

Seeing that Shen Chen was puzzled, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is the tenth guy I sent to the Western Heavens......"

"West Heaven?" Shen Chen asked puzzled.

Only then did Li* remember that this era did not seem to have sent Xitian as a way to refer to murder, and he shook his head, but did not explain further.

Looking at the strange battle scene around him, Shen Chen was extremely emotional: "This kind of assassination and fighting technique taught by adults is really clever, so simple that even a fool can learn it, but the power of the battle is beyond imagination. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, such a simple technique would have made the brave party members not have the slightest ability to fight back......"

Li * smiled, but did not speak, the army is to cooperate with each other to fight in formation, and individual martial arts can never override the power of the team on the battlefield, this is the truth proved by the wars of the past dynasties. In fact, the most critical part of this tactic is not whether the soldier's technique fails, but whether the soldier has the courage to stab the wooden gun in his hand according to the usual training, as long as his own soldiers have the courage, the effect of this tactic can be exerted inseparable.

"However, this method of warfare can only be used to defend the city, positional field battles, or rely on infantry array shock-"

Shen Chen concluded.

Li * silently watched the battle around him, but said: "As long as the soldiers can truly grasp the essence and true meaning of this tactic, even if it is a positional field battle, they can still win." ”

Shen Chen smiled slightly, without arguing, but his face was full of disbelief.

Li * glanced at him and said slowly: "Liang Xuan told me the details of the battle that defeated the front camp on Fenglin Mountain, and you also saw it with your own eyes, right?" ”

Shen Chen nodded: "Yes-it was a fluke to win that battle!" ”

"Was it a fluke?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li*'s mouth, and he shook his head, but he didn't continue.

With these few words of the two of them, there is no shadow of the enemy in the city. In this short period of time, the whole three accounts of party soldiers have been reimbursed in the size of the city head, under the wall there are more than 20 corpses of party soldiers, six ladders are still on the wall, but there are no party soldiers to continue to climb up, the seven party soldiers standing outside the city pass are stunned to stare at the corpses all over the ground.

Speaking of which, this casualty is nothing, less than one-twentieth of the total number of troops that the Nori family has come this time, and even among the regular soldiers, it is less than one-tenth of the proportion.

It's just that...... It's also a bit too fast......

It's just that for most of the moment, the three soldiers of the first echelon are lying under the city pass. If it continues to be consumed at this rate, it will not take more than three hours for all the troops of the Yeli family to die.

What's even more terrifying is that after losing the strength of the three tents, there was not even a single one who climbed the tower.

Basically, these soldiers were stabbed down by the enemy as soon as they climbed the castle, so you can imagine what kind of casualties can be inflicted on the enemy.

The pass was not wide, less than fifty paces from east to west, but under the impenetrable guard of the defenders, it turned into an impassable moat.

Team A still had losses, a soldier who climbed the tower was stabbed and threw his scimitar at the soldier standing on the right side, despite the protection of the armor, the sharp blade still cut into the soldier's shoulder, fortunately there was no injury to the bones, the labor team that had been on standby under the city gate immediately came up and carried the soldier down, and his companion, although not very willing, obeyed the order and went down the city with him, and the vacant place was replaced by a member of the B team.

In the distance, Yeli Ronglai was extremely annoyed, although he didn't understand why the Zhangwu army had suddenly become so fierce and brave, but what made him even more dissatisfied was that the performance of his own soldiers was so bad, and the strength of the three tents couldn't even climb up to the top of the city. In his memory, hand-to-hand combat at the top of the city was actually a probabilistic attack, and as long as the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city in the early stage were able to occupy a solid foothold on the city, the follow-up troops could go up in a steady stream until the balance of enemy forces at the head of the city was completely changed.

In previous wars, the biggest danger of climbing the city head is from the huge losses caused by the defenders using rolling logs and bows and arrows to the attacking troops, generally as long as they can approach the city head, the besieging side can basically be regarded as half of the success, and the only combat purpose of the troops in the early stage is to entangle the defenders at the head of the city, so that they have no time to attack the follow-up troops who climb the city wall, so as to cover the follow-up troops to climb the city.

However, this common sense of warfare was completely overturned in front of Luzi Pass today, and the enemy not only did not attack his own troops who were climbing the city wall, but even did not show his head after his own soldiers had set up the ladder on the city wall, and they did not attack until the infantry stepped on the ladder to the top of the city.

Theoretically speaking, the troops who are erecting ladders for the attacking troops and the troops who are climbing the city walls along the ladders are the least protected troops, and the soldiers at this time have no ability to fight back against any enemy attack, and this stage must be the stage with the highest casualties in the previous siege battles, but today's defenders of Luzi Pass have done the opposite, ignoring their own ladders and climbing the walls along the ladders, until their soldiers climbed to the top of the city walls.

In Yeli Ronglai's view, there is only one reasonable explanation, that is, the enemy army in the city has a better hand-to-hand combat ability than his own army, so that his own soldiers have no room to fight back.

This most plausible explanation is precisely the most unacceptable explanation for Yeli Ronglai.

If the Zhangwu Army can defeat the Dingyan Army in hand-to-hand combat, then what safety can the eight divisions of the four states of Yinxia have? Is an army that can't even put the Zhangwu army on the table in the white-knuckle fight still embarrassed to call itself a warrior?

How many people died is a trivial matter, and the Yeli family's superior position above the six clans under one of the eight tribes, how can it still be maintained after this battle?

Therefore, Yeli Ronglai, who still had the idea of preserving his strength at the beginning, finally became angry at this moment, and shouted: "Order the front army, immediately attack the city wall, and if you hesitate, you will be killed immediately......

Immediately, he turned his head and said, "Cavalry, bow and arrow ready, close to provide support for the infantry—"

At the sound of an order, the wind and thunder suddenly changed, and in the sound of the horn that became more and more urgent, the seven tent infantry in front of the pass began to continue to climb the city wall while complaining and trembling.

The infantry in the back also began to slowly advance forward, squeezing the infantry in front of them and constantly surging in the direction of the city wall.

Fifty paces away, a group of six cavalrymen of the brigade controlled their horses and mounts and slowly approached in the direction of the city wall with small steps.

At this moment, the situation was completely different from Fang Cai, under the urging and forcing of the rear team, the front army no longer had time to hesitate on the ladder, and could only climb up the ladder one by one without pause.

But no matter how you climb, a ladder can only carry the weight of three people at the same time, and these three people can't climb up at the same time, the moment the first person climbs the city, the third person's hand can take the ladder, and when the third person's foot steps on the ladder, the first person often has fallen down screaming.

As the shouts and trumpets rang out from under the gates, there was still no sound on the towers.

The soldiers are becoming more and more proficient in killing, and now the soldiers in charge of frontal attacks will even tilt slightly towards the upper left corner of the enemy when they stab their spears, so that the enemy's round shield will also unconsciously move to the upper left of the body when blocking the block, thus exposing the right side of their abdomen to attack another soldier who is thrusting sideways.

After a short period of fighting, the soldiers of Team A have basically stabilized their hands, and then their hearts have gradually stabilized. Basically wait for the moment when the enemy will expose the waist of the city before attacking, ensuring that there is no possibility for the enemy to dodge the fatal blow.

Of course, there are also enemies who jump up and rush to the city under the threat of death, and such enemies will definitely fall at the head of the city and roll down into the ravine, and the two soldiers of the A team who are in charge of guarding this section of the city wall will never turn back and chase after him under strict training, they will turn a blind eye to the enemy who has crossed the line, and continue to prepare for the next enemy who is about to emerge.

And just as the enemy was scrambling to get up from the ravine, the flat knife in the hands of the soldier of Team C, who was the overseer, had already slashed at him with his head and face. Even if he can't kill this enemy rolling in the ravine for a while, as long as he has no time to attack the soldiers of Team A on the edge of the city wall in a very short time, the combat team of Team B who is also on standby on the stairs of the city pass with a gun will rush up, and a four-gun wooden gun will stab down, if this fish that slipped through the net can survive, he can already apply for the Guinness World Records of Lee*'s era.

The essence of battle is not simply martial arts and killing, but also requires every soldier to perform his or her own duties, and every soldier needs to fulfill his or her duties. On the battlefield, everyone has their own posts to stick to, and guarding their positions is the greatest contribution to the war.

Here is the difference between war and group fighting.

Even in the era of cold weapons, even in the limited and narrow area of the city, the defense needs to be deep and hierarchical.

This is the new concept that Lee*, a layman of military command, brought to the warfare of this era.

The massacre is ongoing, and the situation faced by the party soldiers is even more embarrassing, the infantry who are crowded under the wall are now stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and there are comrades above their heads who are constantly screaming and falling down, if they are not careful, although their lives will not be lost, but they will also be sad for a long time, gradually, the infantry ranks are crowded to both sides of the ladder, and a passage is vacated in the direction of the ladder, and on this passage, there are corpses of fallen party soldiers everywhere.

Some of the soldiers were not killed immediately after they fell, and the terrible cries were even more terrifying.

Make full use of the special terrain of the tower, and effectively kill and injure a large number of enemies in hand-to-hand combat in the depth defense mode, the only thing required by this defense mode is that the soldier must have the psychological quality of daring to engage in white-knuckle combat with the enemy. In the absence of heavy siege weapons, even if there are millions of troops, they cannot advance an inch in front of such a city pass.

As more and more corpses and wounded piled up under the city pass, more than a dozen party infantry were gradually squeezed to within a range of more than 20 steps north of the city pass.

The enemy's cavalry was already on movement.

Now the infantry of the more than a dozen tents of the party army and the cavalry of the nine tents are all concentrated within fifty paces of the wall, some cavalry has already taken the single wooden bow in their hands, some are hesitantly waiting for orders, the enemy at the head of the city can only see half of the head at the moment, at this distance to shoot the bow and arrow is not very effective, but it is easy to accidentally injure their own soldiers who are climbing the city wall.

At this moment, the sound of breaking the sky sounded again.

A horse on the left flank of the cavalry array suddenly let out a terrible cry, raised its front hooves, and directly turned its master, who was holding a bow and the other hand, from his back, and on its back a cavalryman fell silently from his horse.

The mad horse jumped on the ground with its hooves raised, until it trampled back and forth, breaking its master's vertebrae on the spot. The attentive party soldiers noticed that the horse had a small hole in its neck, and blood was flowing outward......

The party soldier who spotted this fell down the next moment, his waist pierced by a crossbow arrow flying from the eastern tower......

Just as the left flank began to be attacked by the crossbow arrows of the fine seal Minda, there were also exclamations from the right flank.

In fact, whether it is on the left wing or the right wing, there is only one person who is really responsible for aiming and shooting. On the left wing is Minda himself, while on the right wing is one of Minda's most proud disciples in the scout team, an eighteen-year-old boy named Kang Shishi.

Kang Shi has only practiced archery for less than three months, although he is quite perceptive, but he is still far from the level of being able to participate in actual combat, and even this level is already the highest level in the former battalion scout team except for the fine seal.

But at the moment, this level is also sufficient.

More than fifty horsemen were crammed into such a narrow area in a horizontal column, and the distance between each horse was less than a step, and the horse's head was almost next to the horse's tail, which was really a very large target, if not shoulder to shoulder.

There is no need to aim at all, four shots at a crossbow, and as long as there is no problem with the general direction, one or two can be swept down almost every time you fire.

At this moment, the almost unsuccessful archery skills of the fine seal Minda were almost useless, and the two of them only needed to continuously shoot crossbow arrows into the enemy's cavalry array.

Due to the limited space in the city, it is impossible to swing all the twenty-six crossbow machines of various types, so there are thirteen on the left and right wings, although only two people in the front are responsible for firing, but there are more than a dozen people in the back who are in charge of constantly loading and winding, and the crossbow machine in the hands of the two people will be sent back casually, and the person behind him will immediately stuff a loaded crossbow machine into his hand after taking it. Therefore, although there are only two people, a crossfire is formed that can sustain the blow.

As the number of fallen men and scattered horses in the cavalry formation increased, the command of the two cardinals and other officers of all ranks began to be sluggish and inflexible.

Yeli Ronglai did not follow the army forward, he fell behind the battle, in fact, with his current distance, he was also within the range of the Fuyuan crossbow. It's just that before the cavalry array completely collapsed, Xifeng Minda couldn't spare his hands to take care of him for the time being.

Yeli Ronglai looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, he now fully understood what kind of opponent he was facing, the defender of the city was actually an army with crossbow machines, in front of this terrible killing weapon, his own army, which was almost huddled together, had no chance......

So, he made the last wrong decision in this battle -

"Mingjin - withdraw troops - "

Yeli Ronglai realized that he had to withdraw his troops out of the range of the ballista, and there was no point in continuing the battle. Continuing to attack the city with advanced weapons on the defenders will only cause huge casualties in a short period of time, this city pass is no longer able to rely on its own troops and equipment, there are no large long-range attack weapons, there are no thousands of troops, and their own tribes under this city pass do not want to bargain for anything.

Yeli Ronglai still doesn't understand why the Zhangwu army didn't use it at the beginning of the siege because they had a treasure like a crossbow machine, and with the current frequency of their crossbow machines, as long as they made full use of this weapon, their infantry had no hope of approaching the city wall at all. As long as the army defending the city does not open the gate to fight their own army, they are basically invincible.

In the sound of metal knocking, the party cavalry infantry that had almost been chaotic under the city turned around and jumped back.

This time it was different from the archers who were rushing back, everyone was running desperately, and some of the horses with their dead masters were running in the opposite direction without knowing whether they were alive or dead, knocking down and trampling the retreating infantry......

The cavalry and infantry were mixed together, everyone was running desperately, the terrible crossbow machine was behind the name, and everyone was afraid that they would not be able to escape back to the camp, that they would be left behind.

What was expected to be a retreat turned into a disorderly collapse......

Shen Chen, who was on the city tower, clenched his teeth tightly, his hands clenched into fists, and there was a hesitant look on his face, and then, in Li *'s surprised gaze, the young commander shouted an order that surprised everyone at the city gate: "Team D - open the city, pursue ......"

Today's second update, the description of the war scene is really a very laborious thing, everyone should be more considerate of the shortcomings, and canvass for votes as usual
