Chapter 131: The Battle of the New City (2)

Because a large number of quilts were given to those old and young, the five soldiers huddled together and wrapped themselves in a quilt to protect themselves from the cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info digging the ground during the day is fine, not only not cold but also sweating, at night it will be uncomfortable, if it is not for the bowl of medicine soup of the medical team, it is estimated that I dare not even sleep.

Fortunately, there was no snow in the sky at night, and even the wind was much lighter, and the soldiers did not feel too cold when they hid in the trenches.

Snoring in the night sky came and went, and a small figure sneaked into an unfinished trench where the warriors slept.

The figure, one foot deep and one foot shallow, dragged a quilt much larger than her, and followed the stairs to the place where the warriors rested. It was only by the moonlight that I could see the two cute pigtails on the top of the little guy's head, and his face was red from the wind.

Er Ya looked at these deserted summer warriors the same size as her brother, and showed a charming smile, and gently opened the quilt in her hand, and gently covered it against the warriors who were squeezed into the corner.

"Who!" The soldiers were so tired that they didn't notice anyone when they approached, and it was also because of their high alertness that they suddenly woke up when they suddenly had something more on their bodies. The warrior's eyelids were heavy, and the voice came out first, and only then did he open his eyes and stand up. I saw a young figure running fast in the moonlight summer.

Er Ya was startled, and hurriedly climbed up the ditch and ran to the tent. Back in the tent, Zhao Yue was also awakened, covered the baby next to her with the quilt, and sat up. After a fire break, I found that Erya had her head down and her bare feet red. And the quilt in the tent has long been gone, Zhao Yue didn't ask much, beckoned, "Come and sleep together." ”

"What's going on?" The soldier's shouting made even the captain startled, and he replied with an embarrassed face, "No, it's a dream." ”

"Stinky boy, go to sleep, the Hu people won't have to sleep since they started to attack the city." The captain half scolded, half laughed, turned around and jumped into a tunnel.

The young soldier touched the quilt with residual warmth, and said to his brother next to him with a smile, "Come over a few people, I can squeeze here." ”

There is a little story in the trench that a soldier who after a few years became an officer, and then a general, told this story to every soldier under his command.

The tranquility did not last long, and there was an urgent knocking sound from the top of the city. "Enemy attack, enemy attack."

Luo Chuan stepped forward and rushed to the head of the city, he, like the rest of the generals, slept in his clothes, and waited until the siren quickly climbed up to the city.

As soon as he went to the city, Luo Chuan frowned, it was still a wooden shield to fight in front of the station, but there were many more wooden shields than during the day, and they were also thicker, and it was very difficult for more than a dozen Hu people to hide behind and push it. After a closer look, there were no less than two hundred such wooden shields below.

Hu Ren had already pushed to the attack range of five hundred steps, Luo Chuan thought for a while, and said to a ballista man beside him, "Do you see the wooden shield in front?" The ballista nodded, "Hit a shuttle." ”

"Zheng Zheng Zheng!" The ballista in the gunner's hand roared, "Bang bang! This time, the crossbow arrows only penetrated a quarter, and the ballista gunner shot more than ten arrows, so he had to cast a helpless look at Luo Chuan.

As soon as the Hu people below felt the long-range blow of the Huangxia Army, they immediately shrank behind the wooden shield and prayed to the sky. Unexpectedly, the opposite side only fired for a while, and then stopped. He is safe and sound, that doesn't mean that this shield can really resist the ballistas of the Deserted Summer Army. Many Hu people in the rear immediately cheered loudly.

Now the other party's wooden shield is like a tank, a weapon that has always been relied on by the Deserted Summer Army, and finally shows its powerless moment. War is always like this, there must be a spear and a shield, two battlefield weapons that restrain each other, will always surpass each other one after another, the spear is improving, and the shield must also keep improving.

Seeing that there was no effect, Luo Chuan was not prepared to consume crossbow arrows, except for the steam crossbow on duty, Luo Chuan did not plan to consume more fuel.

The wooden shield pierced by this steam crossbow gave the Hu infantry a real sense of security, and they almost didn't hum a little song.

It was another three hundred paces, for the sky was no longer snowy, and the bloodstains of the daytime below were still lying there, along with the corpses of their kindred. The people behind the wooden shield could already see that there were still horse rejection pits about a hundred steps ahead. The wooden shield got closer and closer, and when it was about ten steps away, a group of deserted summer warriors suddenly turned out of the horse rejection pit.

Here is the special brigade led by Yunchen, as well as the scout team drawn from various divisions, more than 500 people turned into 500 fierce snow wolves. First of all, the individual crossbow in his hand was powerful, and the Hu people gathered together quickly dispersed, ready to take out the weapons in their hands to counterattack.

The steam crossbows on the city wall were angry again, and the ballistae accurately fired the ballistas, and as soon as they ran out of the wooden escape, they were greeted by the whizzing bolts.

Scouts not only sneak attack, but also scratch tongues, Luo Chuan said that they are the strongest soldiers. Putting down the individual crossbow, the unsheathed steel knife in the soldier's hand flashed brightly, and a soldier was completely unafraid in the face of two or three people and Hu infantry.

"Hu cavalry!" The Hu cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, finally moved, and the Hu people tied animal skins to the hooves of their horses to alleviate the impact of the snow, and the large group of cavalry ran and shook the mountains.

The special brigade below has not been able to completely wipe out the Hu people for a while. Luo Chuan gritted his teeth, it can be said that it is another game that must be lost, where will Fu Jian give himself this opportunity. "The boiler is fully open, blocking the 500-step range."

In order to avoid the freezing of boiler water, the boilers must be rotated every three hours. The boilers on duty had already begun to roar, and the rest of the boilers were quickly ignited, waiting for the water vapor to boil.

The sound of horses' hooves and the whistling of steam crossbows resounded throughout the city, and in order to avoid the frontal attack of the steam crossbows, the Hu cavalry gave up their assault force and dispersed into a straggler team composed of more than ten cavalry, advancing rapidly.

"Retreat!" Yunchen saw that it was impossible to eliminate this Hu Ren team, so he quickly gave the order to retreat.

The special brigade came and retreated quickly, and the Huren infantry felt that they were being targeted by a group of ghosts and were about to die, and the next moment this group of ghosts disappeared into the snow like raccoons.

The number of steam crossbows on duty was small, and the Hu stragglers were very effective, and soon advanced to the vicinity of the wooden shield. The cavalrymen, relying on their wooden shields, picked up their bows and arrows and threw them at the head of the city.

The crossbow archers came out, and the rest of the deserted summer soldiers also raised their individual crossbows and began to counterattack. The maximum distance of the individual crossbow is 200 paces, and the accuracy distance is 150 paces. The position of the Hu people's wooden shield happened to be more than two hundred paces, but the attack distance of the opponent's archers was enough, and many Huangxia soldiers were hit by stray arrows.

For the first time, the Wasted Xia Army suffered a loss under a long-range attack, Luo Chuan clenched his teeth, "Wait, wait until the rest of the boilers boil." ”

In nearly a quarter of an hour, the rest of the boilers finally spewed out white smoke, and nearly a hundred ballistae finally roared, even if the Hu people had a wooden shield in front of them, they were also killed and injured by the condescending ballistas.

Just as the Huangxia army was preparing to retaliate violently, the horn of retreating troops came from the rear of the Hu people. The soldiers who had suffered losses at the head of the city glanced at the retreating Hu cavalry, leaving hundreds of corpses, and reluctantly chose a ceasefire.

Fu Jian smiled, the information he needed was almost complete. "A moment of time. It takes a quarter of time from preparation to launch. Hehe, it seems that you are nothing more than that. (To be continued.) )
