Chapter 131: Offensive and defensive warriors are hand-to-hand

"Ahh "Oops!" ……

The screams and invectives were incessant. The first daredevils could only pray to heaven to descend on their heads. It's a pity that the heavens didn't open their eyes, Xiangrui didn't come, but the stone giant tree ruthlessly smashed down his head and face!

"Ahh …… The screams and wails came and went, and there were countless people who died before they could snort. Look at the extremely destructive rolling wood and stones, the traces that have been crushed and rolled down, dyed red by the spray of blood, the stumps and broken arms, broken intestines and livers can be seen everywhere, and more are dead corpses, broken, flesh and blood blurred, dizzying dead corpses, falling on the journey.

A wave of attack and defense passed, and the city was shrouded in blood, and less than one in ten lucky people. They are called lucky because they also have vital signs. But the severed arm, the constant rolling and wailing, the last struggle, in fact, awaited them an even more terrible nightmare.

Faced with this tragic scene, Su Li's eyes were scarlet, he held back tears of grief and indignation, and kept warning himself: the man has tears and does not flick lightly, if he wants revenge, he needs to shed blood and sacrifice, and using the enemy's head to comfort the dead is the only choice.

The second-row warriors were ready to fight, but they had learned from the past, and seeing the miserable fate of their comrades, some of the soldiers were cold and trembling a little.

"You are Xianbei warriors, you can't lose the face of Xianbei people, avenge your dead brothers, you have to move forward bravely! Remember that those who retreat will die, and only by rushing forward can they survive, brothers, rush! Sully's voice was already a little trembling, but the tone of grief and indignation was more encouraging.

The Xianbei warrior let out a roar, and the cry was full of pathos, chilling, and unbearable.

"Bow and arrow cover!" Seeing that the brothers were about to rush to the city, Sully cried out.

The wolf's tooth arrow is not powerful enough, and when it is shot from the bottom up, it loses a lot of kinetic energy, and its power is drastically reduced, and this kind of shooting is like a waste of arrows. After Poplar Forest's suspicious tactics, a lot of arrows had been wasted, and Su Li didn't want to waste them for no reason, but the first wave of attacks seemed pale and weak, so he had to deal with it and watch the aftermath before making a decision.

The first defense was also unsuccessful, because the defenders were still psychologically immature, in the face of the wolf-like Xianbei army, they seemed to be in a hurry for a while, and threw twice as many stones and logs, this kind of consumption regardless of the cost, brought a huge impact and pressure to the entire defense plan.

Good steel is used on the blade, and these heavy shells need to be saved for the critical moment. The first time it is used, it is just to show its power, deter the enemy, and frustrate its spirit. Zhang Ying thought in her heart.

"Pass my command, the sword and shield hand stand the shield, the archer prepares, shoot the arrow!" Zhang Ying gave the order, and the flag was passed to the generals.

"The sword and shield soldiers stand up and protect their backs. Archers get ready and shoot arrows! ”

Finally, it is not a random arrow, with the in-depth practice of the archers, the archery progress is rapid, fifty steps can hit six or seven out of ten, the distance from the city to the city is a few zhang away, not to mention a hundred shots, but also to reach eight or nine not far from ten.

There is a situation where the city shoots at each other, the two armies have their own advantages, and there are indeed a lot of Xianbei soldiers and marksmen under the city, but there is a huge wooden shield in the city, which makes it feel like there is nowhere to focus, which basically limits the play of its archery skills.

This wooden shield is easy to use, the manufacturing process is simple, the cost is low, and it is economical and practical. To put it simply, it is to defend against arrows, especially the shield made of wolf tooth arrows, and the Taiping people give it the nickname wolf tooth nemesis!

Those slowing down wolf tooth arrows just nailed to the wooden shield, which played a protective role, and there was a suspicion of borrowing arrows, so they took off the wolf tooth arrows and recycled them.

The archery skills in the city were not satisfactory, and it was almost impossible to shoot the archers from a distance, so they could only wait for the infantry to rush over and slaughter them at close range.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row and the spearmen in the middle row dodged narrow gaps one after another, trying not to let the enemy take advantage of them as much as possible. The archers bent their bows and arrows, drew their bows like a full moon, shot their arrows like shooting stars, and the arrows passed through the just right gap to greet the soldiers who climbed the city.

"Ahh "Ahh There was another scream, only this time there was no fear, but the tearing of physical pain, or the sorrow before the end of life.

The Xianbei army is dressed in leather clothing, which can be similar to leather armor in wartime and play a protective role. With this layer of animal skin as a cover, very few were killed, and most of those who were hit by the arrow were only slightly injured. The Xianbei people made a living by hunting, and the fierce temperament was cultivated by fighting with wild beasts, and the Xianbei army with arrow wounds not only stood still, but did not slow down, stepping on the stumps of their companions and breaking their hands, and climbed towards the city.

"Shoot an arrow, aim at the vital part, shoot hard!" If you want to kill with one hit, you can only choose from the exposed throat, but that part is smaller than a fist, and it is difficult to hit the target if you are not an archer.

This is just Zhang Ying's idea, she can't pass on the details through the flag, and the tactical details can only be cultivated through daily training.

In Zhang Ying's expectation, the second wave of arrows was issued, and sure enough, there were many people who adjusted their tactics, but there were not a few who missed. However, there were significantly more Xianbei soldiers who fell than in the first round.

The warriors who did not fall are rapidly climbing the city, closer, closer! Immediately he was engaged with the sword and shield hand.

"Shoot off the enemy with all your swords and guns!"

"Shoot off the enemy with all your swords and guns!"

The sword and shield soldier beside Zhang Ying was ready, holding a shield in his left hand to protect his body, and his right hand was full of strength, he was waiting for the rabbit.

"Danger! Be proactive! Zhang Ying saw the other party's eyes, and the two cold rays erupted with anger like lasers, as if they wanted to cut the guards into broken pieces.

This reminder was still half a beat late, the Xianbei soldier kicked the ground with both feet, his body jumped up like a spirit ape, his arms were half-bent, but the force of the swing was extremely great, and with a strange scream, the steel knife split the inferior wooden shield and plunged straight into the guard's left chest.

The guard also waved the steel knife, but it was still half a beat slower, and his knife was only half swung out, and then it condensed, stopping in the middle, the hand holding the knife slowly loosened, the knife left his control, and fell to the ground with a "dang long".

The sword and shield soldier fell with wide eyes, and he didn't blink. The moment the sword soldier fell, the spearman behind him struck, and the spear was fiercely inserted into the chest of the Xianbei soldier with a strong wind. The Xianbei warrior fell, killing one is enough, and he can go with peace of mind.

"Let's go, brother!" The spearman leaned down and stroked his left hand on the cheek of the sword and shield soldier, sending a poignant word to comfort his brother's soul.

As the spearmen slowly got up, this time the hand-to-hand battle ended, the Han soldiers fell to the less attackers, and the Xianbei soldiers were all killed as expected. The whole process can only be described as tragic, in the face of the permanent departure of the brother, the living have no tears, some are just anger, unforgettable anger.

"Jiang Shan, will lead the soldiers to withdraw from the position!"

Jiang Shan, as the Marquis of Qu Army, stepped back and became a bystander, he was unwilling, and took up arms to fight side by side with the soldiers. Now that he received the order, he led his brothers and carried the dead and wounded soldiers to exchange positions with Chu Mei.

The head of the city was replaced with fresh blood, and the attackers also organized new men and horses, and after a fierce battle, the defenders standing at the head of the city became He Taoqu.

"Why don't you drench the castle?" A loud cry shocked the city.

The defenders at the head of the city looked back when they heard the sound, but it was Li Yi, the lord of Taiping City.

Suri can divert water to fill in the trenches, why can't I pour water on the city wall and turn the tofu scum project into an impregnable ice city! Li Yi thought of this trick on the way to the front. But Li Yi immediately thought that with Zhang Yingzhi's intelligence and profound knowledge, it was impossible not to think of this countermeasure, so he didn't have to worry about it.

But seeing Jiang Shan and Chu Mei, carrying the dead and wounded brothers to withdraw one after another, after inquiry, it was learned that the city was still fighting with the enemy.

Could it be that Zhang Ying was dizzy, and he didn't think of the strategy of using Ice City to defend against Su Li? She didn't rest all night, dizziness was inevitable, and her lack of reflexes was understandable. No, the soldiers can't be injured for no reason, Li Yi hurriedly urged the horse to offer a plan.
