Chapter 47: The Power of the Spearman
"Siege the city with all your might!"
With Yuan Lie's order, more than 4,000 foot soldiers under his command set up ladders one after another, pushing the wells and rushing cars, and rushed towards Yiyang in all directions.
Looking at the city wall, it looks like a dense network of ants, endless. Behind the foot soldiers, there were Lei Bo's 3,000 horse army and Yuan Lie's original 2,000 horse army, a total of 5,000 horse troops in the rear sweeping formation, circling Yiyang City. Zhao Yun knew that he must not retreat at this moment, so he raised the corner gun in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, meet the enemy!" ”
Although Yi is a civil official, who doesn't have a little martial arts and courage in troubled times? He duly shouted: "Fight to the death!" Suddenly, the courage of the soldiers defending the city and the more than 2,000 displaced people who were temporarily recruited was completely aroused.
"Fight to the death!" ……
In a short time, the enemy army besieging the city was already approaching the city wall, and the ladder erected was erected on the city wall, and many enemy troops had already begun to climb the ladder, preparing to enter the city wall, and the well and the rushing cart had also reached the city under the cover of the foot soldiers.
The ladder is a little different from the current ladder, it looks more like a shelf, and after approaching the walled city, the thieves and soldiers on it can hook the city wall with iron hooks, so that the yellow turban under it can continue to climb the city wall.
This thing is prepared for crossbowmen, because when attacking the city, the defenders on the city wall have great lethality against the soldiers besieging the city below.
Rushing cars are used to break open city gates.
Lei Bo smiled and said: "Old Yuan, as soon as this city is broken, you will be a great achievement!" ”
Yuan Lie said modestly: "The moment the city is broken, it is the time to catch Liu Qi's child!" The help of Brother Lei is indispensable, and when the time comes, he will explain everything to the lord. Hahaha! The two of them laughed tacitly, and it wouldn't take much effort to break the city at all.
It is indeed the case, there are only 4,000 regular troops defending the city, and it is necessary to guard four city gates, and each gate is only about 1,000 people, and Yuan Lie's siege of the city has all kinds of wells and ladders in addition to the cavalry, and as long as he enters the city, everything is easy to handle.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Yun responded calmly, and saw that many enemy troops were already very close to the city, and dozens of enemy soldiers had even climbed the ladder, so he ordered the elite horse army of the Baiwei battalion to release arrows.
Whoosh!
Aggressive!
With the advantage of the high wall, the archers of the Baiwei camp are invincible. The enemy troops who were preparing to enter the city were shot one after another, wounded, maimed, and killed. The momentum of condescending arrows was even more intimidating, and Yuan Lie's momentum of attacking the city suddenly fell.
Yuan Lie couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and shouted: "The crossbow hand is in the well!" Fight back! ”
The well is about the same height as the city wall of Yiyang City, and under Yuan Lie's reminder, the crossbowmen are ready to fight. The crossbowmen on these wells were well trained, and instead of attacking the soldiers in armor on the walls, they were homeless people defending the city.
The displaced people were urgently recruited from Iraq, and there was no armor protection, and some were only a thin warm suit. The continuous attacks of the crossbowmen on the well made the homeless people hide directly under the city wall, not daring to rise to the front.
Zhao Yun scolded secretly and said angrily: "Give me the gall!" The guards hurriedly sent two fire galls, which were specially made fireballs, which were full of boiling oil, and once they burst, they would explode, rolling out tongues of fire and burning everything that could be burned.
Taking a fire gall, Zhao Yun stared at the well car and threw it hard. The fiery gall suddenly flew away, and with a loud bang, the well was surrounded by fire in an instant, and the crossbowmen inside also burned.
"Ah, it's on fire! Help me! ”……
It worked! Zhao Yun was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Use fire gall!" Burn the well! By the time Yuan Lie realized it, four of the five wells had already been burned by Zhao Yun with a fire gall, and the remaining one was also overwhelmed by the fierce blows.
"Damn!" Yuan Lie became furious, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Hit the door with all your might!" The one who captures Liu Qi's child alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed teeth! ”
Yuan Lie knew that there was no hope for rushing to the city wall, and the other party had already burned the well and ladder on his side with fire oil. Now the only way to do this is to rely on the big shield to cover the car and crash through the city gate.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, as soon as Yuan Lie's words fell, the city gate had been knocked open a little crack. Yuan Lie Lei Bo was immediately overjoyed, and ordered the besieging horse army to assemble at the city gate immediately, just waiting for the moment when the city gate was broken.
The archers on the city wall had to shoot down as if they didn't want money, and most of them were blocked by the big shield below, and seeing that the city gate was about to be knocked open by Yuan Lie's thieves, Zhao Yun said: "The soldiers of the Baiyi battalion will go down with me and get on the horse to meet the enemy!" Mr. Jibo, I'll leave it to you on the city wall! ”
"Let's go!" Zhao Yun took the first step down the city tower and waited in formation. The Yi gathered all the displaced people and said, "Pour all the oil down from here!" Roll the stones! ”
With the order of the Yi nationality, the pain of the fiery fire oil was the group of enemy soldiers below who slammed the door with the big shield, and the hot fire oil fell from above and flowed along the big shield to the middle of the crowd. Suddenly, the car was already on fire.
"Fight the fire!" I don't know who shouted, but the people on the side of the rushing car stopped pushing the car and hurriedly extinguished the fire.
Yuan Lie couldn't help but say angrily: "Save Lao Shizihuo!" Knock open this city gate for Lao Tzu! The sergeant had to stop the firefighting action and push the car with all his strength to hit the city gate.
Maybe it was Yuan Lie's angry shouting that played a role, and the city gate slowly opened!
"Hahaha!" Yuan Lie and Lei Bo laughed when they saw this, and they were about to lead 5,000 horses into the city to capture Liu Qi and the others alive.
At this moment, something happened suddenly!
A very familiar shout came from behind Yuan Lie, "Yuan Lie, aren't you looking for a kid?" "It turned out to be Liu Qi!
The two turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was Liu Qi. Liu Qi was surrounded by Shi A and others, and behind him were more than 3,000 foot soldiers, Yuan Lie was immediately overjoyed and said, "Capture Liu Qi alive!" ”
Since Yuan Lie and Lei Bo gathered the 5,000 horse army at the moat bridge, the two of them couldn't rush forward for a while, Lei Bo frowned and thought about it, and said: "The front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, kill!" ”
Under the familiar command of Lei Bo, the 5,000 horse army did not have any self-disorder. The war horse galloped and was violent.
Liu Qi ordered someone to escort Xun Yu to retreat, and the local horse army was still more than two hundred steps away from them, but Liu Pan shouted angrily: "Spearman, prepare to throw spearman!" ”
The neatly aligned battalion of two thousand spears immediately formed a formation and drew out the short spears hanging from their waists.
One hundred steps!
Ninety steps!
……
Sixty steps!
Fifty steps!
"Throw a spear!"
Liu Pan estimated the distance between the two, and when the enemy's horse army was fifty steps away from the spear battalion, and it was more than forty meters in modern times, Liu Pan's expression was grim and he drank coldly.
More than 2,000 short spears fired in unison, shooting away like fierce arrows from the string, as if the sky was full of arrows, densely packed, making Yuan Lie's horse army tremble and scream, even the cavalry on horseback couldn't help but feel numb. However, the projected spear is a strengthened version of the arrow.
"Ahh My hand! …”
"Poof...... Ah, save ......"
"Shhh ……”
As soon as the short spear came into contact with Yuan Lie's Fang Ma Junfu, the screams suddenly rang out. The unsuspecting horse army was shot by the powerful short spear, and was nailed to the ground along with the horses, many of the horses rolled and fell, and the wounded soldiers fell from their horses, screaming endlessly. The momentum of the vanguard horse army was suffocated, and the rear horse army could not control the inertia, and thousands of horse troops trampled on it.
A short-range sudden spear throwing caused Yuan Lie's horse army to lose nearly 1,000 troops in an instant, and most of them died under the trampling of the rear army's war horses. On the moat bridge, Lei Bo and Yuan Lie's horse army were in a mess, with war horses neighing and soldiers falling from their horses screaming. Lei Bo was annoyed and ashamed, and shouted loudly: "Rush! Don't panic! Rush over to Lao Tzu! ”
His meaning was obvious, ignore the horse army that was paralyzed in front and rush over them. Yuan Lie's department was closer to the bridgehead, watching his colleagues screaming, hesitating whether to listen to Lei Bo's words and rushing over from above. Faced with such a terrible scene, two horsemen involuntarily retreated.
"Rubbish!" When Yuan Lie saw it, he was furious, and hacked the two cavalrymen to death with two knives: "Those who dare to retreat will be regarded as deserters and hacked to death!" ”
Intimidated by Yuan Lie's prestige, more than 4,000 horse troops had to rush forward with their horses, and their momentum was not as good as before. Step on the bodies of your fellow warriors as if walking on thin ice. However, after many passes, the Ma army has inspired the ferocity that originally belonged to the thief soldiers.
"Kill them all!" ……
Liu Pan's expression did not change, and he disdained the tide of Ma Jun in the face of it, and said coldly: "Kill yourself!" He calmly commanded the spear battalion to prepare for the second round of projection.
Thirty steps!
The two armies are getting closer and closer! The closer and closer distance made Yuan Lielei Bo very happy, and it seemed to foreshadow the scene of Liu Qi being arrested, and the two drove Ma Jun to rush and kill: "Kill!" ”
Twenty steps!
"Cast!" Under Liu Pan's cold order, about 2,000 short spears were once again instantaneous.
Aggressive! This time the tragic situation was even more obvious than the first time, Yuan Lie's horse army was shot at a short distance The short spear was more than twenty steps away from Liu Qi's eyes, and he grabbed the horse rope and stopped the horse's hooves.
As if repeating the first purgatory, the damage caused by Liu Pan's spear throwing in the second spear camp was even more staggering. More than 4,000 people flocked in one place, struggling to advance or retreat.
The scene of being crucified to the ground touched everyone's nerves, and Xun Yu couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw this scene of purgatory, not to mention Yuan Lie and Lei Bo, the two witnesses.
"Cast again!"
Liu Pan's words were like urging the judge, and Yuan Lielei felt a cold air pouring down from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and secretly said that it was not good!
Whoosh! The short-range projection brought gusts of wind, but this time because of the lack of strength, the power was not as good as before, and it was just to kill the wounded soldiers in front.
Yuan Lie and Lei Bo were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted angrily: "The other party has no strength, the soldiers are rushing to Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he rushed with the remnants of more than 3,000 horses.
Liu Qi was solemn, facing the enemy horse army that was about to arrive, and said loudly: "Brothers, success or failure is here!" For the sake of the folks! For the sake of friends and family! Fight to the death! ”
"Fight to the death!" More than 2,000 people were not afraid at all, and shouted in unison. The two brothers, Liu Qi and Liu, took the lead and rushed forward to meet Yuan Lie's thunderous horse army.
