Chapter 47: Lure and Annihilate
"Boom!"
It was the sound of the body hitting the heavy shield hard.
There were only about a thousand people on this side of the city tower, while there were four or five thousand people in the direction of Qinzhou City, and there were also unstoppable cavalry, so it was natural for the soldiers of the Jin army to retreat in the direction of the city tower.
Yun Ye led two hundred heavy infantry with heavy shields, like a human wall, blocking the narrow streets. The soldiers of the Jin army slammed into the heavy infantry's heavy shields, but they could not shake them even half a point.
The spear stabbed out from behind the heavy shield, reaping patches of life.
Yun Ye led the warriors of the cold thorn to rush left and right in the ranks of the Jin army, and soon the formation of the Jin army was chaotic again.
"Press, press forward! Eat them all! ”
Yun Ye shouted loudly. Two hundred heavy infantry heard the order, raised their heavy shields and slowly pressed forward. The Jin army has been broken up by Yun Ye and others, and a single soldier can't shake the heavy shield for half a minute, and will only be taken away by the spear or blade behind the heavy shield.
In the narrow streets, the numerical advantage of the Jin army could not be brought into play at all, and thousands of people rushed forward, but they were actually pushed back by hundreds of heavy infantry of the Western army.
The current Jin army is completely like ants on a hot pot scurrying around, but they just can't find a breakthrough to protrude, but the cavalry and infantry in the city continue to kill out, and the heavy infantry in the city tower continues to press them into the city, and they can't break out on both sides, and they can't beat it, and now they can only pray that the reinforcements outside the city can arrive quickly, as long as they can kill into the city, they can relieve themselves.
"Why is the city gate closed, and aren't our men killing it? Bump it and see if you can knock it off! ”
The Jin army that rushed out of the camp outside the city was killed under the city, and found that the city gate was closed, and it felt bad for a while.
"General, we didn't bring siege equipment, so we can't hit it!"
Because they had planned in advance, and they had just received a signal from friendly troops, they had already entered the city, so the Jin army outside the city did not bring siege equipment, in order to pursue speed, and control Qinzhou City as soon as possible when the western army did not react, they almost didn't even wear armor, at most they only wore a piece of leather armor, and everyone was lightly armed.
"Woo Woo !!"
A series of arrows were shot down from the city wall, and in the thick of the night, the lightly armed Jin army had no way to form an effective defense against the arrows.
"General, what should we do, we can't attack it now!"
After being attacked, the Jin army outside the city probably understood what was going on, but they had no way to attack it now.
"There's no choice but to hope for the allies inside, if they can create some opportunities for us, then we can win."
Listening to the fierce shouts and killings in the city, the commander of the Jin army knew that he could not retreat even if he could not attack now, and once he withdrew to move the siege equipment, then the Jin army in the city was very likely to be wiped out. Staying on their own now can also help them contain a part of the Western Army and relieve them of a little pressure. I also hope that they can turn around and storm the city gates, as long as the city gates are opened, then the victory will still be theirs.
"Work in groups of three, form defensive formations, and minimize casualties. Also, shout with all your might, and let the friendly forces in the city know that we have not abandoned them. ”
The commander of the Jin army shouted loudly so that everyone could hear him.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Jin army in the city heard the shouts of killing outside the city, and the hope that had just been extinguished was suddenly rekindled.
"Brothers, our reinforcements are working hard to break through the gates, now we need to do something about it, we can't make them laugh!"
The Jin commander in the city shouted loudly, encouraging his soldiers to rush out of the encirclement.
"Hmph, since you want to go to Hades as soon as possible, then I will fulfill you! Soldiers of the Western Army, the time has come to fight for glory, fight to the death! Keep pressing it up! ”
Yun Ye slashed to death a Jin army who rushed forward with a single sword, loudly inspiring the soldiers of the Western Army. The hoplites are almost invincible in such street battles, unless the opponent can heap them to death with their numbers.
"Up! Press! ”
The shield rose from the ground and pressed forward, and the man behind pressed his shoulder against the back of the person in front of him, and with his free hands he thrust the spear forward through the gap. As soon as someone in front is sacrificed, those in the rear do not hesitate to make up for it. They kept squeezing forward the shrinking and shrinking space of the Jin army, making them trample on each other!
The Jin army is already planning to make a dying fight, and if they can break through the human wall in front of them, they may be able to turn the tide of the battle. The Jin soldiers kept hitting their shields, and the color of the shields had changed from black to crimson. The pile-up of corpses made it time for the warriors of the Western Army to even move forward.
The counterattack was ineffective, and even the dying struggle would be pressed down by the western army, and on the side of the city gate, there was no other movement except for shouting and killing.
The soldiers of the Jin army had fallen into despair. They are not lazy in training in normal times, and their combat ability is not bad, but why are they slaughtered by the soldiers of the Western Army now, one-sidedly killed, when the number of people is almost the same!
The battle was so fierce that it was a little boring. The soldiers of the Western Army had red eyes and waved their hands mechanically, cutting off one Jin soldier after another under their blades.
The drizzle was still falling, and the rain dripping from the eaves fell on the streets, trying to wash away the killing and evil of the place, but in vain it allowed the congealed blood to melt away and stain more places.
The cold wind and drizzle quickly cooled the corpses that had fallen to the ground. The hands that were exposed to the air were also slightly sluggish by the cold air. In order not to let their hands freeze, the soldiers of the Western Army only kept moving and slaughtering.
After an hour of killing, the battle finally stopped. The fierce battle made almost everyone's hands tremble, and some people even had blood oozing from holding their knives too hard, looking at the streets covered with corpses, and in some places the corpses were piled up more than one person high.
The thick smell of blood filled everyone's nostrils, and some people couldn't help but squat on the ground and vomit, until they vomited all the food they had eaten during the celebration of the winter solstice a few days ago.
The Jin army outside the city had to retreat after losing hundreds of people and attacking to no avail, after all, there were no siege equipment and no city gates, so they had no chance to enter the city.
Yun Ye climbed the city tower and couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the bloody corpses everywhere inside and outside the city.
The same vein, why bother killing each other!
