Chapter 240: Fierce Battle (1)

The other way is the staircase leading to the castle tower, which is obviously not suitable for cavalry combat, unless the Jin knights are willing to give up their horses, dismount and fight, and attack the castle tower from below like an infantryman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"General, we can't attack it, it's blocked, that area is too small, and the enemy's ballista is constantly firing, and our casualties are very large!"

The rain was still falling, but it was a little heavier than before. An adjutant general ran to the side of the Jin army commander and loudly reported to him the battle at the city gate.

The current situation of the war, for the time being, is not very favorable to them, although all of them still believe that they can win, but if they continue to fight like this, they will pay a heavy price.

"Ignore the enemies on the castle tower first, find a way to destroy the damn ballista first, kill the lethal first, and then play with them slowly."

The Jin general said loudly, and let one of his guards follow the lieutenant general to the city gate, and he wanted to let the guard team play an inspiring role, so that his soldiers dared to go forward and charge one after another, and knock out the enemy's ballista.

Wave after wave of charges, from the city gate to the Western army's ballista array two hundred steps away, the Jin cavalry launched countless non-stop charges, and their corpses were also covered with a thick layer on the ground, even hindering their attack.

And the soldiers of the Western Army are also very tired, and the people behind are constantly running and carrying crossbow arrows, ensuring that the crossbow carts in front can be supplied with crossbow arrows at any time, ensuring that it can be fired uninterruptedly.

And the soldiers on the side of the ballista were already sweating in this winter, mentally and physically, very tired.

They need to keep loading the ballista with crossbow arrows, all the time, even if the hands and feet are sore, they can't stop, many people get cramps in the hands and feet, and then a person in the back reserve immediately comes to make up for it, in short, they must not let these ballista stop shooting, in such a small-scale operation, the power of the ballista is huge, and his coverage area is just enough to cover all the places in front, without any dead ends.

There are also Jin cavalry who don't know where to find some shields, and use shields to protect their bodies and rush to this side, but they obviously underestimate the power of the ballista, the crossbow arrows pierce the shield fiercely, and then penetrate their bodies, the powerful impact can still make them fall off their horses, and then turn into a corpse.

There were also some Jin cavalry who were lucky enough to break through in the dense rain of arrows, but they were immediately killed by the Western soldiers guarding the ballista.

Now the cavalry of the Jin army is using their lives to consume physical strength with the soldiers of the Western Army, and they are also using their lives to consume the crossbow arrows of the Western Army.

Until the arrival of the Jin general's personal guard, as the general's personal guard, they are not a showman, they are also really talented, for the Jin cavalry in front, they can not only play a role in motivating, but also directly play a role in reversing the situation of the war.

They are skilled in equestrian skills, and they can cling to the side of the war horse like the Huns to avoid being directly threatened by crossbow arrows, and even if the war horse is shot, unless it hits the vital point, it can continue to impact.

The guards were mixed in with the charging Jin cavalry, armed with bows and javelins, and with their skillful horsemanship, they began to draw bows and arrows, or throw javelins, in the direction of the Western army's crossbows.

Slowly, the Jin army began to get closer to the ballista formation of the Western Army than ever before, and the distance was only a few dozen steps, and at the speed of the current Jin cavalry, it was only a few breaths.

But the number of them who were able to get here was too small, and all of them were the men and horses of the personal guard, and the other cavalry only came to help them attract firepower, and they were not expected to be of much use.

Yun Ye also sensed that this team was not ordinary, it should be the elite troops used by the Jin army to deal with emergencies, such a team was similar to the cold thorn of the Western army.

"Protect the ballista!"

Yun Ye snorted lightly, and came to the side of the ballista with a few guards in an instant, wanting to protect these ballista cars and let them continue to kill more Jin troops.

These ballistas are naturally of great help to them, and it is best if the Western Army can rely on these ballistas to make the Jin army suffer heavy losses, but Yun Ye knows that the Jin army is not so stupid, the current Jin army is not the same guys they met before, they are the crystallization of Sima Long's endurance for more than ten years, which is not trivial.

Just counting on the ballista can't make a big climate, and now that the elite of the Jin army is dispatched, these ballistas are almost at the end of the show, and next, the team that will perform last time is Yun Ye and his warriors.

This time, they will strangle the Jin army as before, and reproduce the glory of their western army, so that the Jin army will not dare to attack them from now on.

"Poof!"

The black iron knife was swung out heavily, splitting the Jin cavalry that rushed to the front into two halves, Yun Ye took the Western Army soldiers and began to resist the Jin cavalry that rushed up, and the crossbow cart, still under the control of the Western Army soldiers, sprayed powerful crossbow arrows and continued to harvest the lives of the Jin cavalry.

But the battle situation was not so smooth, the Jin cavalry that rushed up successfully affected the Western Army and their ballistas, they blocked the view, and also blocked most of the crossbow arrows, you know, these ballistas are now flat shot, as long as they block the crossbow arrows shot in front, the people behind can continue to advance.

The Jin army naturally has its own way to fight back, and after being pressed and beaten for so long, their night is full of fire, so they are not polite to the Western army at all.

Countless spears and javelins were thrown from the Jin army's formation, in the direction of the Western army's ballista, and in the dark night, these spear javelins were drenched in the rain, and then flashed with cold light and pierced the direction of the Western army's ballista.

But their target is not the ballista, but the Western soldiers on the side of the ballista, as long as the ballista is not controlled, they will not be able to move, and when the second group of people regains control of the ballista, their cavalry should have been able to rush to the front and destroy the ballista.

Their purpose was successful, and the Western soldiers who were controlling the ballista to shoot without stopping could not dodge the javelins and spears that came from the sky, and could only watch their bodies pierced by these things, and then fall!

"Implement the original battle plan immediately!" (To be continued.) )
