Chapter 462: Pressure

Seeing that the white flag he was hoisting was shot down, Zhang Lin and Liang Xingrong were all dead. The Xiaoguo army is determined to be strong, and resolutely refuses to accept surrender.

"All the brethren go up to the tower and prepare for battle!" Zhang Lin, the captain of the military academy, gritted his teeth and shouted. If you want to fight, then fight!

Zhang Lin gave an order, and the two thousand soldiers who were responsible for defending the east gate rushed to the head of the city in a chaotic manner, and in an instant, the narrow city tower was full of people and crowded. The remaining three city gates, in addition to three or four hundred soldiers at each gate, the rest were four or five hundred young men who were temporarily recruited.

Zhang Lin raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone has also seen that it is not that we do not surrender, but that the Xiaoguo army outside the city does not accept our surrender at all. We have killed 3,000 of them, and you say, will they spare us? No one is allowed to leave the city walls without permission, and we swear to live and die with this city! ”

After a while, scattered responses rang out.

"Didn't you all eat? Let them see that our men in Changguang County are not of a bad breed. Zhang Lin roared angrily.

The commander of the government army beside Zhang Lin suddenly looked solemn, straightened his chest and said in a deep voice: "Swear to live and die with this city!" ”

"Swear to live and die with this city!"

Behind Qu Chang, the eight hundred government troops shouted in unison, and the murderous intent was revealed. The trained youths around him also followed, and the momentum suddenly appeared.

"Yes, it's a man!" Zhao Xun said with a little regret. In war, there has never been an immortal, and it doesn't matter whether you are innocent or not. I need to deter the enemy, and I need to give an explanation to the dead soldiers.

Outside the city of Changguang.

Zhao Xun waved his long sword and shouted lightly: "Action!" ”

"Shield infantry advances...... Fruitful, courageous! ”

"Fruitful, courageous!"

"Fruitful, courageous!"

Rows of foot guards wearing protective armor, shouting neatly trumpets, stepping on neat steps, surging forward, cold iron armor, heavy shields intertwined into a suffocating wall, towards Changguang City unstoppable, only a moment of effort, has advanced to less than a hundred steps away from the city gate.

This kind of plate armor is extremely strong in defense, and if it wraps the whole body, it is a heavy armor infantry army. But these soldiers, at the time, wrapped the vital point, almost between the heavy armor and the light armor infantry army, there is both the defense of the heavy armor and the agility of the light armor soldiers. At this moment, the soldiers in front of him, all holding large shields, marched towards the city wall.

On the city tower, Zhang Lin stared at him and shouted: "Release the arrow......"

"Instigation......

A messy sound of breaking the air sounded. Rows of scattered arrows shot down from the towers.

Downstairs in the city.

"Vertical ~~ shield!"

The former officer of the Xiaoguo Army gave an order, and the giant shield foot soldier slammed the heavy shield in his hand to the ground, and suddenly made a deafening loud noise, and in an instant, a solid shield has been connected together, forming a solid wall, and the arrows that poured down were launched, and in the muffled sound, the big shield was already full of feather arrows, but the soldiers hiding behind the big shield were unscathed.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the ......"

On the city tower, Zhang Lin's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop shouting, and the only three hundred archers kept putting their arrows, and in just a moment, they shot the only feather arrows in the pot. Seeing that the Xiaoguo soldiers under the city tower were unscathed, Zhang Lin's eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire!

I have to say that their number is too small to bring any pressure to the Xiaoguo Army at all, and they don't have any sharp defensive weapons, so they won't pose any threat to the Xiaoguo Army.

Looking at the soldiers below, Zhang Lin had a feeling that the other party was playing with himself and letting himself release arrows. He didn't take his subordinates seriously at all. Instead, the Xiaoguo soldiers wanted to show off their prestige, so that they and those who watched the battle could come and see how powerful the Xiaoguo Army were.

In the rear army formation, Zhao Xun's expression was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "Archers~~ attack!" ”

"Brush ......"

The herald waved the command flag twice in his hand.

"Archer...... Advance! ”

In an instant, the officer's loud command resounded through the military formation, and the elite archers of the Xiaoguo Army, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran forward and lined up behind the shield wall of the giant shield soldiers.

With the longbow in hand and the arrow on the string, these battle-hardened and indifferent killers will not hesitate to show their sharpest fangs and mercilessly slaughter a recalcitrant enemy who dares to resist at the slightest command.

The officers of the Xiaoguo Army did not seem to have any good impression of the defenders on the city wall, and it is no wonder who let his robes be defeated by the defenders of a small city with a weak victory!

The sword in the hand of the officer of the Han army was leisurely raised above the top, and under the scorching gaze of two thousand archers, he slashed twice coldly, and a long and mournful howl sounded instantly: "Let go...... Arrow ......"

Stretching the bow, stretching the strings, pointing arrows into the air, tearing hands, the whole set (this is also harmonious?) The action is done in one go.

In an instant, two thousand sharp wolf tooth feather arrows burst through the air, making a piercing scream in the air, sweeping through the sky, flying towards the head of Changguang County in an instant, and then pouring down like icy killing raindrops.

"Huh?" Seeing the movement of the Xiaoguo army under the city, Zhang Lin's pupils contracted instantly, and he roared in an instant: "Hide, hide, hide quickly, bow your head and ......"

"Uhh......h

"Don't squeeze!"

"My ......"

The endless howls resounded throughout the city in an instant, and under the relentless flying fire of the elite archers of the Xiaoguo Army, they were crowded into a mass on the city tower, and most of the defenders who had not experienced actual combat were suddenly killed and wounded, only a few rounds of flying fire. Hundreds of people were shot and killed, and hundreds more were killed by the wall. Many of the defenders were wounded by arrows and wailed.

"Hurry down the tower, go down to the tower......"

The tragic situation in front of him suddenly made Zhang Lin finally wake up, and he howled bitterly, and the defenders who had been frightened by the archers of the Xiaoguo Army rushed down the city tower in a chaotic manner. In just a few moments, only a part of the soldiers and horses of the government were left on the originally crowded city tower.

"An army that has not been in real combat!" Zhao Xun, who was watching from a distance, said lightly.

Li Lingfeng and several lieutenants suddenly looked ashamed, such an army, and they also lost the lives of more than 3,000 people under their command in their hands.

"Let your crossbow battalion and god machine battalion prepare!" Zhao Xun's military order was issued again.

A moment later, in the rear of the army, more than thirty huge bed crossbows had been pushed out. In addition, more than fifty trebuchets were also pushed forward.

"Ballista battalion, action!" Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice. The herald behind him waved the small flag in his hand again, conveying Zhao Xun's military order to the commander in front.

"Upper Crossbow ......"

The officers of the crossbow machine battalion shouted loudly, and the more than 300 soldiers were divided into more than 30 squads, each team of more than a dozen people, and in the sound of a uniform trumpet, they all worked together to pull the crossbow arms of more than 30 bed crossbows to the ground, so that the crossbow strings were fastened on the crossbow machines. On one side, a soldier had already loaded a large crossbow bolt with the thickness of a spear onto the bed crossbow.

"Putting ......"

"Buzz ......"

In the deafening loud trill, followed by a sharp scream, more than thirty huge crossbow arrows had shot out of the bed crossbow like lightning, and in a flash, they shot to the city wall, and immediately pierced deeply into the female wall of the city. There are quite a few, flying directly through the city walls and into the city. There are also five or six branches, directly rooted in the city tower, deep and continuous, splashing debris all over the ground, some snowflakes, also splashed out, under the light of the morning sun, exuding a hazy color, gorgeous and dazzling. If it weren't for the battlefield, I'm afraid many people would involuntarily praise it.

Although the defenders were well hidden, several crossbow arrows pierced the women's wall and shot through the soldiers behind them.

"Crossbow bolts? Damn, attack here, do you need crossbow arrows! Zhang Lin looked at the crossbow arrows that were the thickness of the baby's arms penetrated by the soldiers around him, and scolded angrily.

After three rounds, some of the city's female walls were still completely destroyed. The defenders who were hiding behind it found that the walls of the small city were not very safe either.

Under the city walls, a sneer bloomed at the corner of the mouth of the archer officer, kill our brother? Today is the time for revenge.

"Archer prepare!"

The archer officer raised his right arm, and the two thousand archers mechanically pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the string, and then raised the longbow with both arms, and in the crunching sound of the bowstring, the longbow had been pulled into the shape of a full moon, and each archer had a cold expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the void in front of him without any emotion.

"Shoot the ......"

"Woo Woo ......"

As soon as the officer of the Xiaoguo Army gave the order, two thousand archers released their right hands at the same time, and when the bowstring sounded, a piercing roar pierced the sky. Two thousand wolf arrows had already flown to the city wall in an instant with a cold killing machine, and then fell viciously like raindrops, and the black rain almost covered the entire sky.

"Projectile!"

Zhang Lin raised his head, his eyes widened, and he stared viciously at the "black cloud" falling from the sky, and an inexplicable cold was stirring in his eyes. These damn Xiaoguo armies don't give them a chance to react at all.

Suddenly, a miserable howl burst into the night, and this time nearly a hundred non-commissioned officers of the defenders who could not dodge and had no shield to protect were shot. The poor defenders, in this small city, have neither shields nor armor to protect themselves, so they can only use their flesh and blood to resist the ravages of arrows, and the results can be imagined.

"Uhh......h

The terrible howl was close at hand, Zhang Lin turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly turned red. This is the captain of his own army, at this moment, he was wailing and falling to the ground, his limbs twitched, a sharp feather arrow pierced through his left eye, pierced the entire skull and pierced the back of the head, a drop of crimson liquid dripped down the sharp and cold arrow, and suddenly seeped into the cold and damp ground.

"......"

A muffled sound sounded from behind Zhang Lin, and when he looked back, another guard happened to move the small shield in front of him, only to see that a feather arrow had been deeply pierced into the small shield, and the arrow feather Wu trembled. It turned out that because of anger, he stuck his head into the gap in the female wall.

"Little Maozi, you saved my life! I'll ...... it well" Zhang Lin was about to say that he would reward the young guard, when he suddenly remembered whether he could survive or not today.

The young guard was about to speak when another sharp feathered arrow rained down from the sky, enveloping him with precision and mercilessness, piercing him deep into his head. At this moment, he could no longer make any sound, and his hands were stretched wide to pull out the damn feathered arrow, but he could not do so until he died.

"Servant!"

Xiao Maozi fell straight down, his eyes were wide open, his eyes gradually scattered, and he soon fell into the arms of death.

"Little Maozi! Damn it! What kind of thing is this...... I'm the one who hurt you! Zhang Lin suddenly hammered the ground and roared.

After firing a few rounds, the Ballista Battalion of the Xiaoguo Army withdrew. Because of the cold weather, it is not suitable to use the crossbow machine too much, so as not to cause permanent damage.

But the archers did not have this restraint, and the arrows in their hands kept flying and falling. It's like a black cloud, released by someone, drifting for a while, and then falling quickly.

The defenders hiding behind the women's wall turned pale as dirt. But there was nothing to be done, so he let the arrow rain of the Xiaoguo army cover here, and the entire city wall was full of dense clusters of arrows.
