Chapter 481: Fierce Battle
The order of the Oriental Journey opened the prelude to the fierce battle.
The carriage slowly drove back into the formation, and the 40,000 black armor troops began to change formations. As a puff of black smoke rose up, the rebels in the east, south, and north directions seemed to have received a signal and took action.
Everyone's faces were solemn, and they knew very well that even if the emperor was weak, it would never be possible to open the door and surrender, so this battle would never be easy.
The huge ballista drove and creaked. Three giant crossbows, like tree trunks, slowly adjusted their angles and aligned themselves in the direction of the city walls. The eight men tightened their crossbow ropes together, and their faces turned red.
"Siege!"
"Whoosh!"
Several ballistae fired at the same time, and the giant crossbow was plunged deep into the wall. Feeling the shock under his feet, Tang An almost fell.
Chen Buping held him up and said, "Lord Tang, it is too dangerous on the city tower, you are the commander of the army, and comfort is related to the morale of the army, so let's avoid it for the time being." ”
"I can't go, I want my brothers to serve the dead, how can the boss run away without a fight?" Tang An shook his head and rejected Chen Buping's kindness. "If it is about escaping, Lao Tzu can still take the sword and lead his brothers to break through, but I don't know anything about defending the city. Brother Chen, you have been guarding the border city for many years, and defense is precisely your strength, so I will leave this battle to you to command. ”
Chen Buping was shocked: "How can this work? The last general ......"
"It's an order!" Tang An straightened his face and said loudly: "Chen Buping listens to the order!" ”
Chen Buping knelt helplessly: "The end will be!" ”
"I now order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Xixuanmen Forbidden Army, and you must guard the city gate to the death, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Order!"
Chen Buping took a deep breath, felt the pressure on his shoulders like a mountain, and looked at the enemy troops all over the mountains, as if he had returned to the time when he was in the Western Regions.
Tang An patted the latter's shoulder and smiled: "Don't be too nervous, let go of your hands and feet to command." If you win, you will win the battle, and the glory, wealth, gold, silver, jewelry, and flower girls will be great, and if you lose, it will only be a dead person, and it is no big deal. ”
Chen Buping nodded, quickly analyzed the forces of the enemy and us, and said, "My lord, the enemy has nailed a stake to the city wall, and the next step must be to attack." We have few people, and they can't afford it, so I suggest that we should focus on stability. ”
Tang An smiled slightly and said, "Now that you are the boss, you have the final say." ”
It is the wish of every general to be able to meet a boss who trusts him, not to mention that this boss has completely delegated power to his own hands.
Born in troubled times, who doesn't want the sword to charge into battle? Who doesn't want to hold a heavy army to expand the territory and scold Fang Xuan?
Now, it is the time for a man to kill the enemy and defend the country's name!
Chen Buping was moved in his heart, leaned on the cold rock, and shouted to the neat queue of people on both sides: "The last general will be ordered to temporarily serve as the commander and envoy, and I hope that the brothers will cooperate more." Now that the rebels are attacking, let's hold on first, and then rush out with me and kill the damn!" Change Formation - Giant Shieldman Prepare! ”
"Whoa!"
A uniform shout was heard, and the giant shieldmen standing side by side along the city wall held up their black shields with all their might, and from a distance, it looked like a black border had been placed on the stretching wall.
At this moment, Zhan Wushuang on the field raised his right hand, squinted at this ancient city that he was all too familiar with, and said loudly: "Archer! ”
A row of rebels bent their bows at the sky, and the white snow was falling heavier and heavier, but everyone felt hotter and hotter.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Ten thousand arrows are fired at the same time, covering the shade and the sun!
Countless swarthy arrows flew into the sky, like a swarm of locusts, densely converging into a burst of black rain, silently flying in the direction of Bianjing City.
"Siege vehicle preparation, ladder preparation!" Zhan Wushuang tightened the reins, and the whole person was indescribably majestic. "Li Mo and Zhang Shenzhou, order you two to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses each to attack the city from both wings of the city gate!"
Two burly people who looked like generals arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general takes orders!" ”
"Doo do!"
The rain of arrows finally fell. On the eaves, on the corner posts, on the doors of the houses, on the battlements of the street corners, on the carriages, on the walls, there are arrows everywhere that kill souls! And the large army assembled at the head of the city has undoubtedly become the best target.
Even though there is a huge shield to protect, but it can not withstand the danger of sharp arrows falling from the sky, many shields were pierced by sharp arrows, and many soldiers have not had time to go into battle to kill the enemy, have fallen in a pool of blood.
Tang An, who was hiding in the city tower, was full of the screams of his own soldiers. Every poignant cry was like a knife, piercing into his heart.
He clenched his fists and felt his heart bleed.
Chen Buping, who was holding a bronze shield in front of him, patted him as if understanding, and said with relief: "My lord, war is like this. This is not a swamp, not a yellow earth, but Bianjing. In the siege battle, there was no opportunity for opportunism at all, and only the will of the soldiers was contested. Many of us will die, and perhaps you and I will die too, but we must not be afraid, and whoever is not afraid of death has a better chance of survival. ”
Tang An stared at his red eyes, held Chen Buping's arm strongly, and said, "Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough!" Let's kill them together, don't leave a piece of armor, and live together! ”
Chen Buping's always tense Guozi face finally showed a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, live together!" ”
The rain of arrows has stopped, and the West Xuanmen has been devastated.
Under the cover of the archers, the defenses of the city were extremely weak. No general would miss such an opportunity, and Zhan Wushuang shouted: "Charge!" ”
"Kill!"
Among the rebels, two phalanxes swooped towards the gray city like tigers out of the gate.
As far as the eye can see, everything is black. The rebels held high their spears and knives, and let out a heart-palpitating cry, its momentum was like a rainbow, and its power was like a dragon!
Tang An, who walked out of the city tower, saw the scene in front of him and said: "Just now they covered with arrows, should we return the favor to the other in the other way?" ”
Chen Buping laughed: "Lord Tang is really a handsome talent!" ”
Fuck, fools understand this, okay?
Chen Buping said to the lieutenant general: "Let the brothers release arrows!" ”
The forbidden army has already held back the evil fire in their stomachs, and no soldier doesn't want to be on the battlefield, but before they go to the battlefield, many people have already fallen, how fucking is this making people angry? At this time, the archers finally got a chance to fight back, and the archers gritted their teeth and tightened the strings, and with all their strength they shot the arrows into the sky, and in a few moments, the arrows in the arrow basket were empty.
The Tang army's counterattack came swift and sharp, and the rebels running at high speed in front of the empty city gate had nowhere to hide, but could only watch as the sharp arrows took away one life after another. But in the face of the future, human life is like a mustard, no one cares about the life or death of their companions at all, and they only have high walls in their eyes.
Climb up and occupy her!
Zhan Wushuang is very satisfied with the performance of his army, most of these people are the people gathered on the road, and to put it bluntly, they are dispensable cannon fodder. Consume the vitality of the Tang Army with their lives, and this transaction will not suffer a loss.
"Second round salvo ready!"
Zhan Wushuang gave the order again, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Tang An, what are you fighting with me?" She will definitely be mine in the end, and she can only be mine! ”
