Outside Deyuan County.

"Isn't Xun'er's plan to recuperate and recuperate, and not to use troops in vain? How did you suddenly remember to fight back vigorously? Li Chenfeng said with a smile, not worried about the siege battle in front of him.

Situ Liang said with a smile: "First, this Weizhou Mansion Jing Yan army has repeatedly committed border offenses, and it is not enough to reassure the people if they don't make a move. Second, I think it should be related to the court's lack of response to us and Li Huaiyuan. I think that Li Muzhi can't continue to roam with heavy troops to the north of Jizhou Mansion. If Li Mu retreats, the pressure on us will be great. As for the other reasons, that's not something we can guess. ”

"Leave him alone, just do what Lord Tutong wants. Deyuan County is today's goal! Li Chenfeng smiled indifferently and said casually.

"The heavy infantry advances, the archers suppress! Sword and shield soldiers siege the city! Kill! Li Chenfeng's face was expressionless, and there was a murderous aura on his more and more powerful face.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Rows of heavy armored infantry wearing heavy scale armor let out a neat shout of killing, the pervasive murderous aura condensed, the archers holding strong bows under the escort of the heavy infantry, began to bend their bows and arrows, up and down the city, but there were two different expressions, the heavy murderous aura, so that many soldiers in the city were frightened, especially the three bursting killing words, so that many Dan's Yan army had a heartbeat, and the Huolin army had recently broken several towns, and the momentum was unparalleled for a while. Several of the soldiers retreated one after another, as if they were shocked by the heavily armored soldiers covered in iron bumps.

"Runaways, kill!" Li Deru's face flashed with a sense of murderous intent, and with a muffled snort, the law enforcement team that followed closely behind him quickly rushed out, and the steel knife in his hand ruthlessly slashed dozens of soldiers who escaped from the battle, suppressing the originally restless soldiers. Forced by the power of the law enforcement team, the originally unstable hearts of the people at the head of the city settled down, and each stood at his own post and clenched the weapons in his hands.

Seeing his subordinates in such a situation, Li Deru sighed. In the past, the Yan army was so majestic, how could the warriors of the Yan army be afraid. But since the appearance of the Huolin Army, they first cut off their way back, and then there were successive battles, defeating the Indigo Army in the land of the two prefectures for thousands of miles, and since then, the Flame Qilin Banner of the Huolin Army is an indelible nightmare in the hearts of the Indigenous Army.

More than a thousand heavy shields are intertwined into a suffocating wall, moving slowly and firmly towards the Moling city wall, in the suffocating breath, time seems to be confused, it seems to be very slow, and it seems to be very fast, in the blink of an eye, the shield wall has advanced to the city head a hundred steps away.

On the city tower, Li Deru stared at him and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

A chaotic sound of breaking the air sounded, and rows of scattered arrows shot down from the tower. Suddenly, from below, the sky was dark, and arrows rained down......

"Shield!" Under the city tower, Han Meng, the captain of the heavy armored battalion, gave an order, and the heavy armored infantry slammed the heavy shield in their hands to the ground, and suddenly made a deafening loud noise, and the strong shields were connected together, forming a solid wall, and the rain of arrows pouring down came in a row, and in the muffled sound, the big shield was instantly filled with arrow feathers, and the soldiers hiding behind the big shield were not damaged at all.

"Shoot the arrows!" "Shoot the arrows! Don't stop! On the tower of the city, Li Deru and officers at all levels kept shouting, and the five thousand archers of the Yan Army kept releasing arrows, and in just a moment, they shot the arrows in the quiver, and saw that the heavy infantry of the Huolin Army under the city was not damaged at all, Li Deru's eyes almost wanted to erupt fire, and at the same time, there was a strong panic and worry.

Behind the Huolin Army, Li Chenfeng ordered with an expressionless face: "Archer, attack!" ”

The order flag in the herald behind Li Chenfeng waved twice fiercely.

"Archer, forward!" "Archer, forward!"

The loud trumpets and drums resounded through the military formation, and the archers, who had already been waiting for the battle, quickly ran and advanced to the formation behind the shield wall of the heavy infantry, the longbow was already in their hands, and the sharp arrows were wound, as long as the military order, these indifferent soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time would not hesitate to show their most hideous fangs to the enemy, mercilessly slaughtering a place that dared to resist.

Zhao Ning, the deputy general of the Zuofu Army, was escorted by several shield bearers, looking at the archers and shield bearers who were in a panic at the head of the city, a cruel smile appeared in his eyes, and the silver spear in his hand suddenly pointed forward.

The archers of 5,000 men were divided into five phalanxes, each of which was 1,000 men, and each of them was divided into five small formations, and the officers of each formation shouted in a hissing voice: "Shoot the arrows!" ”

The first row of each squad stepped forward and drew their bows and shot, and a rain of arrows rose into the sky with a buzz, shooting towards the Yan army at the head of the city, and then the second row of thousands of people opened their bows and released arrows, followed by the first row of arrows, and the third row ...... Fourth Row ......

Five rows of 1,000 people take turns shooting, the rain of arrows rushes into the sky, connected into a piece, covering the sky and the sun, the sun and the moon have no light, this method of round shooting is not what the modern platoon guns in reality, as early as Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, every time he attacked a city, he must be suppressed by an arrow array, and the method used is this. It's just that it can't completely make the enemy unable to fight back, as the book says.

However, the simple wooden shield and weak leather armor on the body of the Evil Warrior Army were not effective in defense at all.

Li Deru grabbed a big shield in his hand, and saw that several soldiers in front of him had dozens of arrow feathers inserted in their bodies in an instant, and fell to the ground screaming, and the cold air in his heart was rising, it was unimaginable that the army of the Huolin Army had such terrifying combat power! Speaking of archers, they should be led by steppe nomads, but they can ...... But he forgot that weapons are also a very crucial part, the bows and arrows of the Martial Army are simple, and they are definitely stronger than those of the Martial Army. The horse battle may not be worthy of the name, but in the offensive and defensive battle, the weapon advantage of the Huolin Army is brought into play.

Patches of defenders were shot down by arrows, but the rain of arrows had no intention of stopping, Li Deru's rough cheeks were constantly twitching, and his heart was dripping blood, but he had to send batches of soldiers to the front line to fight back against the rain of arrows, if they retreated from the city wall and let the enemy occupy the city wall, then they would not even have the last chance.

On the city wall of Deyuan County, fierce battles are still raging. Since considering the large-scale operations in the future, Zhao Xun also began to pay attention to siege training in the whole army.

"Uh...... Ah...... "A fire-liner sergeant stepped on the ladder, and just came out of the battlements of the city wall, three scimitars pierced his body in an instant, and the three musket sergeants looked hideous, and they all exerted their strength to throw this soldier from the city.

......Not far away, two spears also stabbed the Huolin sergeant who was going up to the city down.

"Drink!" A big hand, grasping the guns of the two, the two couldn't help but be stunned, and then only felt the gun in their hands sinking, a Pu knife hand holding a horizontal knife has already climbed the city wall, the steel knife in the air through a bright arc, fiercely cut off the head of a spearman, the knife is not stopped, and then cut into the neck of another spearman, obliquely chopping down, until it does not enter the position of his chest, it does not stop, but the spearman has already died.

Before "Poof......" could pull out the Pu knife, there was a hint of wind in his ears, and a captain of the Immortal Army let out an angry roar and cut off the head of the capable Pu knife hand.

The soldiers of the Huolin Army continued to rush up the city wall, but they were killed again and again, and the arrows rained down, suppressing the archers of the Yan army at the head of the city, making it impossible for them to attack the fire Lin army soldiers on the ladder, which greatly reduced the advantage of the city wall of the Yan army.

Looking at the city, like ants rushing towards the city wall of the Huolin soldiers and some heroic soldiers who volunteered to participate in the battle, Li Deru's heart was filled with a burst of despair, this despair is not without roots, if Yongtai County in the south is not lost, they can still retreat to other places, step by step, fight against the Huolin Army, and even attack the Huolin Army from the back, so that the Huolin Army can not easily attack Deyuan County.

But now, Shi Yongtai County is occupied, the surrounding towns and villages of Deyuan County have been pulled out one by one, and their subordinates have also lost more than 3,000 people, and when the rescue is ineffective, they have to withdraw to Deyuan County, making Deyuan County a lonely city, in the face of the continuous attacks of Huolin soldiers, and now there are only more than 7,000 defenders of the future of Deyuan County, he is not optimistic. What's more, they are invaders, and they are not supported by the people, and they even have to watch out for the people's counterattack. Don't you see, the 3,000 servant troops he arranged in the surrounding towns and villages are now all falling to the Huolin army.

Alas...... From time immemorial, my army also wanted to take it step by step to protect itself? Could it be that this Huolin Army, this Zhao Xun is really the nemesis of my Indigo Army?

"Siege Tower, Attack!" In the rear of the Huolin Army, looking at the stalemate of the battle, Li Chenfeng waved his hand and said coldly. These siege equipment were all built after Zhao asked the craftsmen to see if they could be improved. In this attack on the Weizhou Mansion Army, Li Chenfeng naturally also built these siege equipment.

"Ho ......", "Ho ......", "Ho ......"

The agitated war drums and loud horns sounded again, on the head of the city, Li Deru Huo Ran looked up, but saw, but saw more than ten towering wooden towers in the thousands of prisoners of the Yan army, slowly approaching the city gate, the height of the wooden tower, than the city wall of the county seat of Deyuan County is higher than Zhangxu, rows of crossbowmen stood at the top of the wooden he, the cold arrow cluster aimed at the city wall of the Yan army, behind these crossbowmen, but a well-equipped knife and axe hand!

With a loud trumpet, the wooden tower slowly but firmly approached the city wall,

Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps...... One hundred steps...... Fifty steps...... Thirty steps......

On the wooden step, the crossbowmen have already shot out a cluster of cold arrows, the archers at the head of the city were shot down by rows, the defenders at the head of the city who were originally orderly began to hug their heads and scurry, Li Deru's scalp was numb, and if it continued like this, the siege tower was not close, and the defenders were about to collapse.

For the weapons of the Han people, Li Deru can be regarded as a thorough knowledge, perhaps in terms of single bravery, the Han people are not as good as the Yan people, but their means are too many, and he can't deal with them.

"Archers! Where are the archers dead! Don't retreat! Those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed! Li Deru's eyes were torn, and a terrible roar resounded through the city: "Hurry up to the city tower, the archers will all go up to the city tower for me!" Counterattack! "Because the fire lin army that was going to attack the upper city was real, the archers of the Indigo army withdrew part of it for a while, allowing the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen to go up to the city to resist. But now, apparently, the suppression of the archers is needed.

The original 5,000 archers, now only about 2,000 are intact, and after the surviving archers replenished the arrows, they rushed up to the city tower in a chaotic manner, and launched a counterattack against the crossbowmen on the siege tower, but the scattered arrows could not stop the advance of the wooden tower at all, and below the wooden tower, all the fire lin soldiers were strictly protected by a large shield. The rest were prisoners of the Warriors, who were chained and pushed into the siege towers, and had nothing to do with the Fire Lin Army if they were shot dead. In the previous attack of more than a month, the Huolin Army also captured a lot of the Yan Army, in addition to some of them being sent to various places to repair the city walls and repair official roads, they were sent here to be used as cannon fodder.
