Chapter 38 Yang Feng leads the thief Tu Nanye Yuan Shu has no plan to welcome Liu Xie (8)
When Yang Feng and Han Xian heard Li Le's suspicions, Nan Ye's heart also trembled. They had conspired with Liu Xie to force Nan Ye away, and it was not impossible for Nan Ye to retaliate against them at this time.
"That's not right! Mages don't do that. What good did the thieves do him when they entered the city? Yang Feng thought for a moment and then denied Li Le.
Han Xian also came to his senses when he heard this, and now Li Dao and Zhang Ji outside the city have an absolute advantage, and the soldiers and horses in the city together are less than 10,000, and even if more than 10,000 people die outside the city, there are still 40,000 people. In the face of people outside the city, even if the city is united, it is not necessarily winning, and if it is infighting, it is even more hopeless.
Li Le also felt that Nan Ye was not the kind of person who didn't care about the overall situation for the sake of personal grudges. Besides, the grievances between Nan Ye and his side are just squeezing each other, not mortal enemies, and there has been no head-on conflict, but Nan Ye and Li Dao have already fought and killed Guo Yan. If Li Dao and Zhang Ji were allowed to fully capture the city wall, Nan Ye in the city would become a turtle in the urn, and he would definitely be shot to death by Li Dao and Zhang Ji with bows and arrows condescendingly.
The three of them also determined that Nan Ye had no evil intentions, so they had to strictly implement Nan Ye's orders. For this battle was left to the command of any of the three of them, and there was no certainty of victory.
Just when Yang Feng and the others made up their minds to defend the city wall, the first soldier had already climbed up the city along the flying ladder. Although his head was cut off by the defenders of the city at the moment he probed, and his body fell to the bottom of the city, the death of this soldier was like a signal, and countless soldiers began to enter the city after him, and the white-knuckle battle began to start at the head of the city in an instant.
Li Dao and Zhang Ji laughed as they looked at the soldiers who had ascended to the top of the city one after another. The hardest part of a siege is when you get close to the walls at the beginning. At this stage, the soldiers of the besieging side are completely in a state of passive beating, even if they shoot up the city, it will not have too much effect, unless there are large siege equipment such as well railings.
At this stage, it is normal for the battle loss ratio to reach 10 to 1, or even 20 to 1, but as long as you survive this most difficult stage and enter the battle of the city or open the city gates, it will be much better. Although the defending side still occupies a favorable position, the besieging side will not be passively beaten, and the battle loss ratio between the attacking and defensive sides will be reduced to between 2 to 1 to 5 to 1. Attacker only? As long as Fang has an absolute superiority in troops, he can quickly break through the city.
Li Dao and Zhang Ji in the city felt that the victory was in hand, but Yang Feng and the three in the city felt that something was wrong. At this time, the number of soldiers who landed in the city was not too much, and the number of soldiers defending the city still had an absolute advantage. However, Yang Feng and the others had already seen that the longer the battle, the more unfavorable it would be to their side, because there were only so many defenders in the city, and one less one died, but the soldiers and horses under the city continued to climb the city wall. Once the number of soldiers in Li Dao and Zhang Ji Dengcheng overwhelmed their side, everything would be over.
Seeing that the 5,000 soldiers guarding the city were sharply reduced to 3,000 at this time, Yang Feng couldn't stand it, and ordered a deputy general beside him: "Go and report to the mage, the enemy army has already landed in the city!" ”
As soon as the deputy general was about to go down the city, Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Li Le heard a burst of cheers from the city. It's a pity that it was not his own soldiers who cheered, but Li Dao and Zhang Ji's soldiers. I heard the soldiers shout for joy: "The gates are broken!" The gates are broken! ”
The heads of Yang Feng and the three of them "boom~" at the same time. They couldn't understand why the city gate was breached, in their impression, the city gate should be the most unlikely place to be breached, because Nan Ye personally led the troops to guard the city gate.
"Quick! Divide your troops and go to the city gates! Yang Feng yelled at the lieutenant general who hadn't had time to go down to the city. As soon as the gates are breached, the enemy will pour into the city, and there is no point in guarding the walls.
The adjutant general turned around again to give an order, and saw a big black man running up from the city to the head of the city and said loudly to Yang Feng and the others: "The mage has an order, and the three generals must strictly guard the city wall, and there must be no mistakes!" The city gate is guarded by its own mage! ”
Yang Feng and the three of them looked fixedly, and the person who gave the order was none other than Zhou Cang, the deputy commander of Nanye's personal guard. At this time, the three of them remembered that before the war, Nan Ye had instructed them to strictly guard the city wall, and the city gate was guarded by Nan Ye himself. In this way, the city gate was broken just an illusion, or was it Nan Ye's plan?
Although they couldn't think of a reason, the three of them still decided to obey, after all, the biggest pressure at this time was not the city wall, but the city gate. Zhou Cang saw that the three of them received the order, and immediately turned around and went down to the city. Yang Feng and the three of them saw that the enemy troops under the city were all rushing to the direction of the city gate, and there were fewer soldiers who went to the city, after all, there was a city gate to enter, and no soldier was willing to risk going to the city again, and the pressure on the soldiers guarding the city was greatly reduced.
Nan Ye has been paying attention to the situation in the city under the city, and when he saw Li Dao and Zhang Ji's soldiers entering the city, he ordered people to get out of the way of the city gate and no longer block the city gate. The purpose of this was to let Li Dao and Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses enter the city, because at this time he had already laid a net at the gate of the city.
Li Dao, Zhang Ji, and none of the soldiers under their command knew that there were Nanye people hiding in the city. The soldiers who were charging forward only knew that the chariot had crashed open the city gate, so they cheered and rushed into the city gate. But when they entered the gate, they were stupefied on the spot, because there were not rows of houses in the gate, but a dense army of rows of human walls. The most terrifying thing is that the banner in the army turned out to be Jiaozhou Mu Nanye.
Nan Ye took advantage of the fact that countless soldiers had just poured into the city gate and had not yet dispersed, and ordered loudly: "Release the arrows!" ”
"Shoot the arrows!" Dian Wei and the mage's guards had already formed a conditioned reflex, and as long as Nan Ye gave an order or sang a battle song, they would repeat it.
At the forefront of the Nanye army formation were eight hundred dart divisions standing in three rows, and these dart masters were holding strong crossbows captured from the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers. The reason why it is divided into three rows is because the crossbow is slower than the bow winding, and the more powerful the crossbow is wound slower without the help of pulleys, and the reason for dividing into three rows is to allow the soldiers to take turns shooting and ensure the continuity of the attack.
This shooting method was designed by Nan Ye after the three-stage shot used by arquebuses in later generations. With Nan Ye's order, the eight hundred dart divisions took turns shooting crossbow arrows, while the rest of the dart divisions behind them used bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy soldiers who rushed into the city. For a while, arrows rained down, and the first batch of enemy soldiers who rushed into the city let out a burst of screams and wails, and they were all wiped out in an instant.
The strong crossbows used by the first deceased are all stepping crossbows wound with their feet, also known as the slapping crossbow, which is extremely powerful. Nan Ye's formation was extremely close to the city gate, and often a crossbow arrow could penetrate the enemy's body and then shoot the soldiers behind him. Therefore, many soldiers in the city gate cave did not know what was happening in front of them, and they were killed by crossbow arrows that came out of their armor.
Li Dao and Zhang Ji outside the city didn't know that there was another army hidden in the city, and they urged the soldiers to rush into the city. The soldiers at the city gate cave all lost their lives inexplicably, and the soldiers outside the city did not know what was happening in the city, they only heard the screams in the city, and thought that there was a battle, and they all rushed to the city stupidly.
No matter how wide the city gate is, it is limited, completely limiting the number of soldiers entering the city, and Nan Ye took advantage of this to set up a pocket array at the city gate, waiting for Li Dao and Zhang Ji's men to drill in. That's literally one dead coming in, two dead one coming in.
In a short time, a hill-like pile of corpses was piled up at the gate of the city, and nearly 10,000 soldiers had died here. The formation of this corpse pile actually saved the lives of the soldiers behind, and at this time, some soldiers finally saw Nanye's men and horses in the city through the cracks in the corpse pile and were not shot dead.
"Run! Run! The city is Master Guanghua's men! A soldier of Li Dao turned his head and fled after seeing Nan Ye's handsome banner, and his mouth kept shouting. But at this time, he was already blocked with people behind him, where could he still run out? He was pushed down by the soldiers who rushed to the city, and stepped on countless feet, turning into a puddle of flesh.
The soldier's death was not meaningless, at least the people around him heard his shouts, and at the same time, more people saw Nanye's men and horses in the city through the corpse pile. So the soldiers who rushed to the front began to retreat, while the soldiers from outside the city kept pouring in, trying to push them into the city to die.
Entering the city is a dead end, and leaving the city can still live, in this case, those soldiers who have seen the truth in the city begin to rush out of the city gate desperately. And in front of them are those robes who don't know the truth and are still rushing to the city. Under the threat of death, someone finally began to crumble, and a soldier who wanted to flee for his life raised a butcher's knife towards the robe that blocked his life. A scuffle unfolded in the dimly lit cave of the city gate.
It is said that the truth is in the hands of a few people, and it is only a few people who can live to see Nan Ye's ambush and flee back, and they were quickly wiped out by the army that rushed into the city gate. But when the soldiers who entered the city cut down the robe that was fleeing frantically in front of them, what came into view was Nan Ye's military formation, and at this time they knew why the people in front of them were running back, so they also turned around and ran, fighting with the army behind them again. There was a vicious circle at the city gate, Li Dao and Zhang Ji's soldiers were all blocked at the city gate, those who wanted to enter could not enter, and those who wanted to escape could not get out, and began to kill each other non-stop.
Li Dao and Zhang Ji looked strange outside the city! In the past, as soon as the city gate was breached, the army would soon pour into the city, but now that the city gate has been open for a long time, why are the soldiers still blocking the city gate?
When they saw that something was wrong, they urged their horses together to the city gate. At this time, the guards on the city wall were restrained by the soldiers who climbed the city, and Li Dao and Zhang Ji did not have to worry about the rain of arrows falling on the city. When the two of them came to the gate, they told the soldiers not to storm the gate, and ordered all the soldiers in the gate to retreat.
At this time, a soldier who learned the truth finally ran out, and Li Dao and Zhang Ji saw a soldier covered in blood and with a wound on his face kneeling in front of the horse and said: "General Li, General Zhang, don't enter the city, there are Guanghua mages in the city!" ”
