The first wave of siege echelons was suppressed by the arrows of the defenders of Panguan when they left the pile of rocks, and a large number of soldiers were killed in the process of charging. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As if they didn't see the falling robes, they shouted "Quick! Rush to the corner of the city and be safe", but the non-commissioned officers in charge of the tentative attack were not regular soldiers after all, but miscellaneous soldiers who had been trained for less than three months. Under the suppression of the strong arrows of the defenders of Panguan, some soldiers began to turn around and run back under the pressure, and the officers still couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers, and finally formed an embarrassing situation, the people in front still charged forward despite the rain of arrows, and the soldiers in the middle were suppressed so that they couldn't raise their heads, but the soldiers behind wanted to escape back to their own positions.

Wei's North Korean guard Bai Yuan was standing in the city tower, he looked down from the height, and saw the chaotic situation of the enemy army, the entire siege queue was divided, and the enemy soldiers who rushed to the city did not have a siege ladder and were embarrassed to nest in the corner of the wall and call out in fear, and the enemy soldiers who turned around and fled back were coldly beheaded by a team of armorers in black clothes and black armor.

"Shoot the enemy soldiers who are carrying the ladder, and let everyone else go!"

The defenders of Panguan naturally followed military orders, and they specially stared at the enemy soldiers carrying the ladder to shoot arrows, and after repeated shooting, the enemy soldiers did not even approach the ladder. The other soldiers were playing like throwing stones at the enemy soldiers under the city, smashing the city and screaming endlessly, those who had no ladder to attack the city and had no way to retreat roared miserably, pointlessly dodging the stones that fell, and the soldiers with bows shot blindly at the city, and did not shoot anything because of the angle.

Baiyuan laughed vigorously, and the terrain was dangerous. The enemy army besieging the city was obviously a group of soldiers who did not have much experience in siege, and he was very confident that he would rely on the danger of the terrain to hold the pass. As long as he can receive the coming of winter, as soon as the weather becomes cold and snowfall, the enemy army will naturally retreat. When the city defense is strengthened in the spring of the following year, and the mobilization of the whole country of Wei's Korea is completed, the undefeated name of the Han Department will be ended by the army of Wei's Korea, and then he will be a hero, a great hero!

"You don't have to kill all the enemy soldiers under the city, leave a few people for them to scream, the more miserable the better!"

No doubt. The soldiers of Webster Korea were very fond of abusing enemy soldiers who were unable to resist, and they frightened the siege soldiers under the city but did not kill them, and tortured them instead of slaughtering them. The archery only shoots the limbs and does not shoot the vital points, and the orders of the commander are fully implemented, and only the screams are made.

The faces of the Han soldiers who watched the siege in front of the pass all changed, the angry people had a blue face, and the frightened people looked afraid, and they all shifted their eyes to Lu Yan without exception.

Lu Yan was as plain as usual. He didn't seem to see that his soldiers were being slaughtered. I was still thinking about how to conquer the pass.

"Commander...... The morale of the army ......"

"The Commander knows."

"That ......"

Lu Yan has experienced a hundred battles in his life, and he has seen almost any scene, and it is not strange to see this kind of small battle in front of him, so he naturally has a way to break up the offensive and treacherous ways of the Wei Korean army. He looked back at the soldiers behind him, the phalanx of soldiers who were silent as death was a little chaotic, thousands of pairs of eyes were looking at him, muttering to himself: "It's kind of interesting......

The generals were also looking at Lu Yan, and the officers who were close to were stunned for a moment when they heard the words of self-talk.

Zhang He was an impatient, and he kept rubbing his hands: "Attack again and save those people under the city, right?" ”

The fighting ahead did not stop because it was blocked. The siege team was still suppressed by arrows and could not attack, and one after another, soldiers who rushed to the city with light equipment did nothing because there was no siege ladder. Although this kind of siege method makes people anxious, they can only do it in a hurry, and there is no way.

The officers commanding the siege team gathered shield men to cover the ladder and advance forward, and the archers in a group of 100 men were also recruited to try to suppress the defenders at the head of the city in this way, but instead of forming an effective suppression, the archers were shot in the procession. However, because the archery team temporarily attracted the defenders, finally there were soldiers who carried ladders to send the ladders to the city, and the siege ladders were erected with great difficulty and erected on the edge of the city, and the soldiers under the leadership of the officers climbed one after another to go up, but because the number of ladders was too small, they did not pose a strong threat to the city defense.

Seeing this, Lu Yan said expressionlessly: "The third-echelon siege team - up!" ”

Zhang He was dumbfounded: "Attack again!?" ”

"Attack!" Lu Yan smiled and groaned: "Send light soldiers to mix in the siege troops!" ”

Many people showed a sudden expression, these newly reorganized infantry troops are all grassland people, they have not experienced the siege will be afraid, as long as they go up to see the blood, the belligerent blood in the veins of the infantry will dilute the fear, if they really do not attack the army, not only can not eliminate the fear of the infantry army to siege the city, on the contrary, this infantry army will be afraid of the city in the future, which completely violates the value of the existence of the infantry army.

The second echelon of siege teams were still trying to climb the city wall under the city, and the stones that kept falling smashed the besiegers' heads and blood, and their efforts were not in vain, at least they let the archers of the Panguan defenders retreat slightly and replaced them with melee soldiers defending the city.

Bai Yuan still stayed in the city tower, the reason why he didn't let the defenders of the city knock down the siege ladder is also meaningful, compared with the army of the Han Dynasty, Wei's Korea has not fought for several years, he wants to use the absolute advantage of the battle situation to train the soldiers, only in this way can the soldiers' courage and confidence be trained to deal with the next more difficult to fight the city defense war.

The speed at which the soldiers of the third echelon gathered was a little slower than the last time, this time they prepared enough shields, and after crossing the pile of rocks into the range of the defenders of Panguan, they cautiously formed a shield array, but when they formed a shield array, it was not arrows but basket-sized stones that fell from them, and the soldiers who were crowded in a pile separated in order to avoid the falling stones, but the defenders of Panguan fired arrows, and the third echelon suffered heavy casualties before they could charge under repeated changes of tactics.

Lu Yan finally saw what he wanted to see, it was a stone-throwing cart arranged behind the city wall, looking at the number of falling rocks, it was judged that there were at least twenty stone-throwing trucks in the Panguan garrison, which showed how much money Wei's Joseon had invested in order to consolidate the front line of Liaodong!

Bailihe, a military staff officer, said worriedly: "This place can't be opportunistic, and it can't rush forward with a dead attack, what should we do?" ”

Lu Yan gave an "um" and ordered to cover the retreat of the besieging troops.

But seeing that more than a thousand crossbowmen scattered into the rubble, they struggled to open their crossbows on the rugged terrain and prepared to suppress the fire.

The soldiers who had attacked under the city wall heard the sound of gold in the rear, threw down the siege ladder and turned around and ran, and as soon as they left the corner, they immediately attracted the arrows of the defenders, and during the run, the soldiers who were hit by the arrows in their backs snorted forward and never stood up again.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums sounded, followed by a "Shoot!" The crossbowmen hiding in the pile of rocks stood upright and pulled the trigger of the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows roared into the air and pounced on the pass, although this shot suppressed the arrows of the defenders of the pass, but also exposed their position, the stone-throwing vehicle in the pass threw stones again, smashed into the dust, and the crossbowmen who were too close to dodge could not dodge many casualties, but finally let the remnants of the siege retreat to a safe position.

"It's so hard to bite!" Bailihe said tentatively: "Why don't you stop the army for the time being, and then attack after you come up with a strategy to break the city?" ”

Lu Yan's "Oh ......" elongated a tail note, and he seemed to ignore the three tentative attacks and cost more than 2,000 casualties, "It's still early, change people and attack again." He glanced at Zhang He, "This time you will lead the team." ”

Zhang He was not worried but happy, and was very excited to respond "Oh! Then he went down to gather his men.

Baili River hurriedly said: "Commander...... Zhang Hunai is the deputy commander, how can he take risks lightly? ”

Lu Yan smiled: "Don't worry, Zhang He's command is the elite of our clan, not the untouchable miscellaneous soldiers who have only been trained for a year, and they are the fierce generals of the Qin clan, and they will be able to lead people to the city wall." Furthermore, if we don't storm the city today, how can we revive our morale? ”

The three exploratory attacks were all miserable defeats, which indeed made the morale of those newly formed infantry troops who did not fight a hard battle become demoralized, and the generals who led the army had their own strategies for leading the troops, and if it was other leading generals, in order to take care of the morale of the army, they would not fight hard to attack. Obviously, Lu Yan is not 'other generals', his style of leading troops is full of Qin flavor, he governs the army with iron blood, and he is even more tough when he fights, I think that during the period when Qin dominated the world, which army retreated after encountering a little setback? It's not like gnawing until you take the enemy city!

The so-called elite is not a soldier with superb martial arts skills or how well-equipped he is, but a group of soldiers who absolutely obey the order, and even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, they will rush forward without frowning under the military order.

The number of soldiers Zhang He assembled was no more than two thousand, all of them were dressed as light soldiers, and the only thing that could be called armor was the small round shield on the elbow of his left arm. Some soldiers brought wine, and two thousand light soldiers drank and smashed the bowl, and shouted in unison "Kill!" under a crisp sound! ", followed up under the charge of Zhang He's leader.

The two thousand soldiers were worthy of the elite, and they were faster than the three groups of siege teams in front of them, and they carried the ladder forward without fear of death. Rushing to the bottom of the city to build a ladder, without the shouts of the officers, the soldiers who were close to them consciously climbed, they relied on experience to pause and raise their arms to block the stones or speed up to climb, no matter how the defenders on the city wall threw down the stones, they still did not lose their ground.

Seeing that the besieging enemy army was so fierce and fearless of death, Bai Yuan subconsciously said: "This is the elite of the Han army!" ”

As everyone knows, Lu Yan was so stuffy that smoke was coming out of his head, and he scolded his mother in his heart: "If it is the original part, how can it block my way!" "He really misses the original Lu Yanbu's subordinates so much......
