Chapter 306: Shuo Fang's First Battle

ps: The generals know that it is difficult to escape the blame for all deaths, although it is a little late, but I still want to say to all the readers who are still insisting on waiting for more: I'm sorry.

The battle flag is wavering, and the battle agitation is stirring the sky.

The 40,000 Daxing troops were fully armed, each holding spears and thick shields, forming a torrent of steel rushing to the city.

As soon as the flag waved, the rumbling footsteps stopped abruptly, the rumbling war drums also quietly stopped, and there was silence and murderous aura under Shuofang City.

The momentum of the 40,000 army gathered was as strong as a mountain, like the top of Mount Tai enveloping Shuofang City, and the soldiers defending the city only felt a pressure rushing to their faces, and the entire city trembled in front of the 40,000 army.

"Shhh

All the defenders of Shuofang City gasped.

The majestic military might of the Daxing Army and the fierce killing machine filled this Shuofang City, and everyone couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.

The difference in strength between the two sides is a bit big! Shuofang City is probably more auspicious!

All the Shuo Fang soldiers were in two wars, panicked in their hearts, and involuntarily turned their eyes to Yan Wu, the general standing at the forefront.

Yan Wu was dressed in gilded armor, the red tassel behind his head swayed in the wind, the waist and hip of the hundred refining treasure sword, coupled with the burly body, looked extraordinarily powerful.

However, Yan Wu's heroism did not bring much security to the soldiers, and the minds of more soldiers had been taken away by the momentum of the Daxing Army.

"Dangchang!"

One of the Liang soldiers was too nervous, and the other missed, the weapon in his hand slipped quietly, and the cold steel hit the city wall, making a crisp sound, echoing in this silent space.

Yan Wu turned around angrily, his eyes looked at the timid soldier viciously, he didn't expect that his subordinates would be so unbearable, before the Daxing army attacked the city, some people were cowardly before they fought.

"The general forgives the sin?"

The soldier who slipped off his weapon turned pale and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

Yan Wu looked at him hatefully, and then looked at the other pairs of eyes full of fear. After a long time, Yan Wu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Walking forward, Yan Wu picked up the weapon on the ground, put it back in the soldier's hand, stretched out his hand and patted the soldier's shoulder, and did not blame him.

Yan Wu knew. Liang Jun's fear of the Daxing Army is no secret in the Liang Army, but this soldier has shown it, and even he has no confidence in his heart, and he doesn't know if he can support it for a long time.

"General! The Daxing Army has been dispatched? ”

The adjutant general pointed to the Daxing military camp below the city and shouted, a hint of imperceptible fear mixed in his voice.

Yan Wu's eyes froze. Look down into the city.

In the Daxing army, a thousand soldiers slowly walked out of the military formation and came towards Shuofang City.

"That's not right! If the Daxing army attacked the city, how could it be possible to send only a thousand soldiers? Yan Wu was puzzled.

Under the gaze of 20,000 Shuofang soldiers, 1,000 soldiers slowly approached Shuofang City, until they reached a distance of one zhang from Shuofang's crossbow and crossbow, and then stopped, and stood there in three formations.

The suspicion in Yan Wu's heart suddenly rose. Such a peculiar formation is unheard of! What exactly does the Netherworld Master want to do?

Just when Yan Wuhu was suspicious, a huge wave of sound rushed to his face.

"His Majesty the Third has an order, only punish the evil, surrender and avoid death?"

A thousand soldiers shouted at the same time, and the sound spread throughout Shuofang City.

"Only punish the evil, surrender and avoid death?"

All the Shuo soldiers couldn't help but move in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Yan Wu, the great general in front.

Being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, Yan Wu felt that sweat was oozing from his palms. The biggest first evil is, of course, Liang Shidu, and of course he Yan Wu is also one of the first evils, and he can't let these soldiers surrender unscrupulous.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yan Wu drank.

Yan Wu has been a general for a year, and he has a lot of prestige, and after an order, countless sharp arrows suddenly flew down from Shuofang City, like flying locusts. Pounced straight at the 1,000 Daxing army who persuaded them to surrender.

"Poof!"

The sound of sharp arrows sinking into the dirt was endless.

The counterattack of the Shuo Fang army seemed amazing, but it did not gain any success, because the Daxing army of a thousand persuasions to surrender was already standing outside the range, even if there were a few talented archers occasionally. It can shoot into a thousand Daxing troops, but it is easily blocked by Daxing soldiers with shields.

Yan Wu was not surprised by this result, because when he ordered the arrow to be released, it was to show his position, that is, his attitude of resolute resistance, which was not only for the Yin World Master, but also for the Liang Master.

"General! Shuofang City refused to surrender! Song Laosheng said, listening to his tone, there was no regret, and there was a faint look of joy.

Yin Shishi didn't care about Song Laosheng's tone, as a general, looking forward to fighting is not a bad thing, on the contrary, if a general wears off his sharpness, it is a sad thing.

"Herald the army, in a quarter of an hour, attack!" Yin Shi Shi Shi said coldly, for Shuo Fang City's reaction, Yin Shi Shi Shi did not show any expression, the effect of these persuasion soldiers was only to make Shuo Fang City's army shake, and now it seems that the goal has been achieved.

"Yes!" Song Laosheng was ordered to leave.

Knock knock!

The war drums beat, dozens of huge trebuchets Daxing soldiers pushed out, and around the trebuchet, one by one Daxing soldiers protected the trebuchet with shields, and slowly approached Shuofang City.

"Trebuchet!" A Shuofang soldier screamed in terror.

This soldier is a veteran, he was a veteran when Liang Shi had not yet rebelled, he has experienced many wars, and he knows better than everyone the power of this big guy in the city, this is the most powerful weapon in this era.

The other soldiers were also in an uproar, and when they heard the word trebuchet, they suddenly thought of the terrifying weapon in the old soldier's mouth, and they didn't expect them to encounter it so quickly.

The thought of so many trebuchets aimed at them made all the soldiers turn pale.

"Fifty-one...... Fifty-two...... Fifty-five. Yan Wu counted with a gloomy face, in the protective nature of the soldiers in Daxing, there were a total of fifty-five trebuchets.

"Daxing City really looks up to Shuofang City!" Yan Wu's heart was full of bitterness.

"That's not the end of it!" Yin Shishi saw Yan Wu's expression on the city wall from the telescope, and said with a slight smile.

"Crossbowmen out!" The Yin Master drank coldly.

With a wave of the commanding flag, the Daxing army separated again, and a huge phalanx of five thousand crossbowmen slowly appeared in front of the two armies.

"Crossbowmen phalanx!" Yan Wu's face turned even pale.

For the crossbow phalanx in Daxing City, Li Yuan had already made it very clear when he formed the alliance, and the fragile troops exuded peerless force in the hands of Daxing City, making all the enemies in front of him fearful.

Yan Wu smiled miserably, looking at the few crossbowmen and the few archers on his side, the gap was too big.

This battle can't be fought.

"Tick!"

Arrows rushed into the sky, shrill whistling echoed, and the war officially began.

"Peng!"

A cloud flew in the position of the Daxing army, overwhelmingly rushing to the city wall, and suddenly the Shuofang soldiers turned on their backs.

"Shield, return fire!" Yan Wu drank.

However, before Yan Wu's words fell, a personal soldier suddenly stepped forward and threw Yan Wu to the ground.

"Boom!"

A huge sound sounded around him, and the sharp broken stones scraped blood marks on Yan Wu's face.

Shaking his head, Yan Wu looked sideways, and saw that the soldier who threw himself to the ground had been hit by broken stones, bleeding non-stop, and he couldn't survive.

Yan Wu felt a pain in his heart, but the Daxing army did not leave him time to hurt, and then another wave of trebuchets was prepared, and one by one huge stones rushed towards the city wall with a whistling sound.

"Boom!"

The boulder smashed into the Shuofang city wall like a giant hammer with ten thousand powers, and every time the boulder hit the wall, all the soldiers felt trembling under their feet.

Occasionally, one or two boulders hit the walls, and everywhere they went, none of the soldiers survived, and none of them died.

In fact, the trebuchet is not as lethal as the crossbowman phalanx, but its terrifying power is enough to make anyone fearful.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen phalanx and trebuchets, countless Daxing soldiers carried siege tools and struggled to rush towards Shuofang City.

The battle lasted for a whole afternoon, and in just two hours, Shuofang County was in danger several times, and it was only because Yan Wu ignored the casualties that he barely survived.

As night fell, the Daxing army finally retreated.

Looking at the retreating Daxing army, all the Shuofang soldiers collapsed to the ground, and all the soldiers did not have the slightest joy in repelling the enemy, because they knew that such a day had just begun, and after tomorrow, those trebuchets and crossbowmen phalanx would come again.

"General! Our army suffered four thousand casualties! The adjutant general reported the results to Yan Wuyu.

"Four thousand?" Yan Wu was shocked, Shuofang City had a total of 20,000 soldiers, they occupied the advantage of the city, and lost 4,000 soldiers a day, at this rate, in five days, Shuofang City had no soldiers available.

"What about the Sui Army?" Yan Wu asked.

The adjutant general lowered his head and whispered: "The casualties of the Sui army are less than a thousand!" ”

"Less than a thousand?" Yan Wu was suddenly stunned.

After getting the adjutant general's affirmative answer, a strong sense of powerlessness rose suddenly, and the gap between the strength of Shuofang and Daxingcheng was too big.

"Tell the soldiers to rest quickly, there will be a big battle tomorrow!" Yan Wu commanded.

"Yes!" The lieutenant said in a low voice. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m.qidian to read. )9
