Chapter 293: Stop the attack

"War is full of uncertainties, one moment you think you have everything under control, the next you find that things have developed into a different way. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Shen looked at Wei Hui who was prostrating in front of him, and let out a sigh of emotion: "Wei Hui, get up, it's hard work." If tomorrow's dawn can break through Lianyun Village, I will credit you. ”

But I saw that Wei Hui in front of him was dressed in a short dress, covered in dew, and his hair was loose and wet on his face and neck. His hands were broken and bleeding from the ropes.

Wang Shen: "Wei Hui, you can still get on the rope later." ”

Wei replied: "If you go back to the military envoy, you have to do it if you can't do it." ”

"True warriors!" Wang Shen's eyes, which had become slender and unfathomable, flashed slightly, and his gaze fell on the offensive and defensive battle in front of him.

Crossbow arrows and cannon stones were still flying in the air.

Guided by torches, the auxiliaries were swiftly transporting supplies, and even on such a cold night, they were so hot that they took off their clothes, and beads of sweat rolled on their emaciated torsos. The officers were shouting hoarsely and waving the flags in their hands.

"Buzz Buzz" More than thirty bed crossbows that had already been pushed out angrily shot out crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms.

In fact, there were fifty of them that had been put into battle before, and after continuous firing in the middle of the night, more than a dozen beds had fallen apart and stopped firing, and some craftsmen were hurriedly repairing them.

These crossbow arrows, about a meter long, vary in their arrowheads, with triangular pyramids, shovel-shaped arrows, and hammer-headed arrows. But no matter what the arrow is, once it falls into the enemy group at the head of the city, it will instantly bring a rain of blood.

Those that did not fall to the head of the city were deeply rooted in the city wall, densely packed with a large area, and became a reliable foothold for the attacking soldiers.

The soldiers of the Sizhou Army, who couldn't squeeze into the ladder, simply clinged to those thick arrow stalks and climbed up desperately.

On the battlements of the city walls, boiling lead and dung soup poured down and rained down the stones. In the fierce screams, one after another Sizhou soldiers fell from above like fallen leaves. The casualties were so huge, but not a single one retreated, and there were still countless crowds of people rushing up frantically. At their feet, a thick layer of corpses had accumulated.

"I didn't expect that the second-line troops of my Sizhou Army were so brave, not bad!" Having fought too many battles, seeing such a flesh-and-blood battlefield, Wang Shen's heart was like water, and he was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the non-main forces tonight.

Behind him were about two hundred tall soldiers in iron armor, all holding heavy weapons such as hammers, whips, and axes. Two hundred pairs of eyes are looking ahead, and if an emergency occurs, they immediately rush forward and stabilize their position.

Wang Shen sighed and said, "Wei Hui, I have already ordered someone to summon the generals of the army to come over to discuss the matter, and you can watch the battle with me." ”

"Yes, envoy." Wei Hui was already trembling with shock from the fierce battle in front of him.

He was also coerced into Manichaeism for some days, and he fought several battles, but he could not kill a few people. Compared to the battle I have experienced and the hard battle of this night, it is like a child's play.

I saw that a soldier who had just climbed up to chop was poured a basin of melted lead on his head and fell from it covered in flames. It's probably that his body is too strong, since he is not dead, he has not even broken the bones on his body. He just kept rolling on the ground, and let out a wail: "Whoever will help me, who will help me, kill me!" ”

The flesh on his face had been completely scalded, revealing Bai Sensen's skull, and the chill in people's hearts was chilling.

One of his companions held a spear to his heart, but could not stab him in any way, and only cried loudly.

The wounded man reached out and grabbed his leg: "Please, kill me, please!" ”

"Back the army, maintain it!" Wang Shen violently drew the big bow on his back, and shot it out with a "boom", hitting the injured man in the forehead, ending his pain.

The spear-carrying soldier roared and quickly climbed towards the wall, but fell from it in an instant.

While his body was still in the air, he received Wang Shen's order, and the two hundred backs advanced forward for five hundred steps, and when they entered the battlefield, they pulled out their longbows and shot out.

A rocket pulled out an arc-shaped, long web of light in the night, and fell on the top of the city.

One, two, three...... Suddenly, a raging fire broke out on the city wall. The Mani thief, who was burned to the point that he couldn't stand it, screamed loudly, but still didn't retreat.

One by one, they jumped down with the soldiers of the Sizhou Army who were attacking the city, and strange music sounded at the head of the city: "A certain Yiming sex goes to leave the body, and the karma is not complete, and I am afraid of the sea of suffering." May the two great light divisions purify the Dharma body and purify the teachers and monks, and have great compassion, save their other natures, and make them free from reincarnation. Strong bodies and hells, wok soup and charcoals, may all Buddhas, mourn their other natures, have great compassion, and be liberated from them......"

"Hmph, a group of demons and evil ways, my army is attacking, everything is powder, and the gods and Buddhas can't save these beasts." Wang Shen laughed coldly.

By this time, the Beiwei army had stopped shooting, turned around, and walked back neatly.

Wei Hui was completely stunned by the extremely fierce soldiers on both sides of the enemy, and it took him a long time before he withdrew his gaze and fell on Wang Shen's face.

In the firelight, Wang Shen was already calm, the casualties in front of him were just a number to him, and it was not worth thinking about at all.

In fact, in the attack just now, the Sizhou army and the Manichaeans each paid the price of hundreds of lives. Judging by Wang Shen's meaning, this battle will continue to be fought, and when the dawn comes, I don't know how many people will sleep on this damn battlefield.

It is too easy to die, and in this kind of battle, human life is like a fly in winter.

Wei Hui only felt thrilled, with a feeling of nausea and vomiting.

In the past, he thought that this was not a big deal to be a general. Everywhere the Manichaeans went, they were surrounded by large populations, and a low-ranking officer like him had brought more than a thousand horses at the most. Of course, after only one rapid march and skirmish, the ranks were scattered to only about thirty men.

Now it seems that I am afraid that I have no ability to lead troops to fight. This kind of battlefield is extremely cruel, and I feel my heart shake just by looking at it, let alone making accurate judgments according to the situation and dispatching troops.

"Peng!" A strange sound was followed by an eerie cracking sound.

A small pumpkin-sized stone was launched from the city wall and smashed at Wang Shen's side.

"Envoy be careful!"

Everyone was in chaos, and the guards swarmed to protect the commander with shields.

"Boom" A soldier shook violently, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. Although the shield in his hand blocked the gunstone, his hands were broken by the shock, and he fell limply to the ground, and then was quickly carried down.

"Military envoy, the gun carriage of the demon thief can shoot here, retreat quickly."

"What's the panic?" Wang Shen frowned, his expression was full of impatience: "It's just a coincidence, don't worry, you all get out of the way, don't be in my sight, why don't they come yet, Yue Yun?" ”

At this time, a guard shouted: "Military envoy, General Ying Xiang and Yan Xuanzan are coming, are you not going to retreat the banner of the Chinese army back a few hundred steps, so as not to be accidentally injured by the thieves' guns?" ”

As his fingers looked, a group of horses rushed in the distance, and the knights were all dressed as officers. It seems that not only the entire Beiwei Army, but even the first-class officers of the cavalry army have come over.

Wang Shen sneered: "Battlefield battle, horse leather shroud, in order to charge ahead." I'm afraid of cold guns and cold arrows, what qualifications do I have to lead troops, and what qualifications do I have to be my subordinates? ”

Seeing that Wang Shen did not move, his subordinates wanted to persuade him, but he knew that his handsome temperament was anxious.

Everyone was so anxious that they jumped to their feet, and Wei Hui's heart suddenly moved, remembering the legend in the army. Persuaded: "The military envoys, subordinates and others are all fighting and killing Han, and they have long had the intention of killing and martyrdom, but it doesn't matter." But General Chen Lanruo and her men were friendly troops after all, and if they were injured by thieves, it would not be beautiful, and they asked the military envoy to move the Chinese army back by 300 steps. ”

Hearing Wei Hui talk about Chen Lanruo, Wang Shen nodded: "Okay, the banner of the Chinese army has moved back three hundred steps." ”

"Military envoy, this battle is not very easy to fight, if you don't think of a way, it will be another Qi Chun. Under the banner of the Chinese army, all the generals dismounted at the same time and sat on the ground, and a battalion commander of the back army said worriedly.

Wang Shen raised his eyebrows: "What, no confidence?" I originally thought that after the battle of Qichun, you also knew about the battle, but it turned out that he was not growing. ”

The commander was full of embarrassment: "The last general, the last general......"

Yue Yun saw that his subordinates were about to be scolded, and hurriedly said: "Actually, this battle is not a big deal, it is nothing more than gnawing little by little." The opposite wall is the key to going up the mountain, as long as you take it down, it will open up the situation. ”

Wang Shen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and snorted coldly.

Yan Yumeng hurriedly interjected, and said with a wry smile: "General Yingxiang, everyone knows that they have to gnaw it up little by little, and they want to take down the opposite city wall, but after fighting in the middle of the night, if they can rush in, they can wait until now." Since the military envoy has recruited you to wait for you today, he has naturally already come up with a way. ”

At this time, Yue Yun found Wei Hui standing beside Wang Shen, hey, grinned: "Wei Hui, you are back, is there any good news to bring." Also, isn't Lao Niu lurking in Lianyun Village with his twenty people, do you want to make an appointment with your family, and wait for the inside and outside to meet? ”

Wei Hui hurriedly handed over his hand: "I've seen General Ying Xiang, yes, General Niu asked the villain to bring news to say that when dawn tomorrow, he will raid the puppet palace of Zhong Xiang, the head of the demon Kou, and then put a big fire." Prepare your family, see the signal, and take the city. ”

"Okay, great!" All the generals cheered.

Wang Shen nodded: "This is very good, General Niu Boyuan and Wei Hui really didn't disappoint you." Pass my order to withdraw all the troops that are attached to the ant siege city to rest. Go back to the camp to bury the pot and cook, sleep well after eating, and then attack Lianyun Village tomorrow. As for the archers, the Divine Arm Archers, the bed crossbows, and the catapults, they fired every half of the incense to keep the pressure on the enemy and make it impossible to rest. ”

"Yes, envoy." A few heralds ran out as fast as they could.

In a few moments, the besieging teams withdrew one after another. There are rockets in the night sky that keep arcing, and it looks like a different kind of beauty.
