70, Yan Gang
The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the former army of Youzhou attacking the city, all wearing ordinary military uniforms and made of coarse cloth, how could they stand the killing of the archers under Yuan Shang, the two thousand archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion, regardless of the quality of the soldiers, in terms of equipment alone, it is very sophisticated, the strong bow in the hand is made by the ingenious workshop of the Gongyi family, the string is a good string, take the tendon on the body of the best brute bull, and use the secret technique to brew it for half a year without destroying it before it can be applied, secondly, those arrows, the polishing of the arrow alone takes a lot of effort, Fortunately, the foundry under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shang has cooperation with the Gongyi family, and it can also be provided in batches, and the materials are not precious, even if it takes a little more effort, it is more than enough to equip two thousand archers.
Two thousand archers shot angrily repeatedly, and the Youzhou army did not get close to the city wall, but thousands of people were killed and wounded, and they were shot alive into hedgehogs, and the shield array was pierced by bows and arrows, and they were immediately scattered, and the offensive was suffocated.
"Charge me, and cut those who retreat." Yan Gang let out an angry roar, seeing that the former army he led was shocked by several waves of arrows from the enemy, as the chief general of the 20,000 former army, Yan Gang's face was suddenly gloomy, and the faces of the two deputy generals Zhao Le and Xiao Shuyang were also a little ugly.
"Kill~."
Yan Gang roared angrily, the 20,000 soldiers of the front army could only bury their heads and shout and rush forward, Gongsun Zhan's trip was mighty, but he did not carry large equipment, and his troops were mostly cavalry, so the siege could only be fought with white blades.
"Puff~"
The enemy army under the city is like ants, but the archers on the city tower have indifferent faces, they are used to fighting, even if the enemy army is no matter how big the movement can not affect them, take a bow and shoot arrows, the movements are smooth, as if it is commonplace, indeed, for them, this set of simple and boring actions has been integrated into their bone marrow, from their choice to be an excellent archer, many things, have unconsciously become an inseparable part of their lives.
"What about the archers, suppress the walls." Yan Gang's expression was cold, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, he gave an order.
In the Youzhou army, there are many people who can shoot arrows, but there are not many who can really be called archers, and they can fight on horseback, which is due to environmental factors after the war with the nomads, the art of archery, broadly speaking, as long as you can pull the bowstring, you can also kill the enemy, however, there are not many people who can really learn it, such as the two thousand archers in the divine arrow battalion under Yuan Shang, but they have been carefully selected by countless people, and the entire state, including some Hu Min, are within the scope of his selection, but in the end only two thousand were selected, It is conceivable that the art of archery is not so simple to be able to understand it, at least, from the slightly weak and chaotic offensive of the so-called archers of the Youzhou Army, it can be clearly seen that the ridiculous comparison with the Divine Arrow Battalion, in Yuan Shang's opinion, is too weak, can shoot the wall, but the lethality is not strong, except for some unlucky soldiers who were shot, one bow and arrow fell to the ground, but it became a tool for the Divine Arrow Battalion to harvest the enemy, in this case, Yuan Shang didn't know whether to thank them, or laugh at them.
"Bastard." Yan Gang's face was pale, and the so-called suppression of the city wall turned into a ridiculous performance, and the soft offensive of his own archers could not effectively suppress the enemy troops in the city at all.
"General Yan, let's rush and kill directly, as long as you get close to the city wall, everything will be much easier." Adjutant General Zhao Le said.
Yan Gang nodded slightly, gave up the unrealistic idea, and personally led the soldiers to kill him.
The wailing kept ringing, and on the tower of the city, the tiger and wolf fierce army was in full array, and two thousand marksmen kept shooting the enemy, but fortunately, there were enough arrows, otherwise it would not be enough for them.
"Build a ladder." Seeing that the vanguard was already approaching the city wall, Yan Gang was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted.
The first wave of Youzhou troops, who successfully approached the city wall, hurriedly put the cloud ladder they were carrying to the city wall and began to rush up.
"Overturn the ladder." Yuan Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered, a few hundred enemy troops are not enough for the tiger and wolf fierce army to play.
When Jin Million heard this, a trace of hideousness flashed at the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his fat arm, the soldiers under his command understood, and rushed over, the spear was lightly picked, and the ladders were overturned, and the soldiers of the Youzhou Army who had climbed half of the way suddenly changed color, their bodies trembled slightly in mid-air, and the ladder fell to the ground suddenly, stirring up a burst of smoke and dust, and dozens of unlucky guys who climbed the ladder first suddenly fell to the ground and vomited blood.
"Again." Yan Gang's face remained unchanged, this was just an appetizer, and more soldiers in the back carried the ladder up again.
On the other side, a sneer flashed at the corner of Xu Huang's mouth, and he saw more than a dozen ladders climbing up in the area he was defending, and as soon as the big knife fell, barrels of vegetable oil were pushed down by the soldiers of the teaching battalion.
"Whew~"
"Burn me."
"My eyes, my eyes, hurt so much."
"Ah, my face."
"Ah~"
A miserable scream sounded, as if it was scalded, the smell of meat suddenly floated in the sky, at least hundreds of Youzhou soldiers were so painful that they kept rolling on the ground, and after a while, their bodies trembled and then stopped completely, and they were burned to death, so cruel, but the tiger and wolf martyrs on the city tower did not show a little unbearable, war is so cruel, either you die or I die, they who are familiar with the rules of war will not have a trace of soft-heartedness at all.
There was no need for Yan Gang to give another order, and another wave of Youzhou soldiers rushed forward, no matter how dangerous the front was, as soldiers, they could only move forward bravely.
"Rolling Stones push down." Yan Liang said in a deep voice, the big knife in his hand had not yet been unsheathed, and for him, this level of offensive was not enough for him to draw the knife.
A big stone was pushed down, with a huge power to bombard the ladder fiercely, the face of the siege soldiers who were climbing up changed greatly, their eyes were better and more decisive, they immediately jumped out, it was better to fall than to be stoned to death, the unlucky ghost who couldn't dodge or had no eyes, it was really unlucky, he was hit by a watermelon-sized rolling stone, not dead and disabled, and suddenly the death and injury were another piece.
Human life is like a mustard, in the cruel killing, life is terrifyingly low, a few stray arrows can easily take away a few fresh lives, no one cares about the life and death of these little people, Gongsun Zhan's eyes are cold, and the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy casualties, but he has not seen a trace of soft-heartedness, his expression is indifferent, and he turns a blind eye.
On the city tower, Yuan Shang did not have the slightest intention of softness, and the difference between the two sides leaving the scene doomed Yuan Shang to be unable to be compassionate for this group of people who had nothing to do with him. The enemy and me, you come and go, the war is so cruel, only to beat the other party down, is the best way to stop the war, to stop the war, the peaceful world, is to use the weapon in his hand to fight out of the peace, these Yuan Shang saw very thoroughly, this is also the goal he fought for, the troubled times to create peace, he never believed that the world can adjust itself in the distortion, but need to use ruthless means to force interference, with the sword and gun in his hand and a strong army to lay down his ideal world, this is a long-term process, Maybe a lot of people will die, maybe his generation may not be able to achieve it, but he has no regrets to fight for it.
"Is this the strong army you are complacent about?" Zhao Yun took a deep look at the generals who were surrounding Gongsun Zhan, it was just a wave of offensive, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the front army were in turmoil, and the discerning people could see the gap between the two armies, couldn't they see it? Zhao Yun was silent in his heart.
Gongsun Xu was still unconvinced, his eyes were still unstoppable, although there were no words, Zhao Yun still saw disbelief in his eyes, and the fear that even he hadn't noticed, the shame of a few years ago, and even deeper, his fear of Yuan Shang.
