124 Boiling water
However, these victorious warriors had no fear in their hearts.
Because in the head-to-head confrontation, they have never been defeated, especially against the Dongou army, they are like a flock of sheep, killing and conquering with impunity.
However, there has never been an invincible army in this world, and the reason why it has always won is because there is no chance to meet a more ferocious opponent than yourself.
Waiting in front of this proud and powerful Minyue warrior were a hundred guards of the Great Qin Empire and a thousand warriors who had been deceived. The leaders were Chen Sheng and Hu Bugui.
Chen Sheng is a human being, although he has no experience in leading the army, but he has followed the special forces to perform tasks everywhere, he belongs to the kind of talent who has seen pigs run away, and he is willing to ponder, so the leadership tactics are not weak, and Hu Bugui is the leader of the Praetorian Guard of the Great Qin Empire, followed Meng Tian to fight the Huns, and followed Wang Jianping through the Six Kingdoms, and the technical skills of commanding operations are far from being comparable to these Minyue barbarians.
A flock of sheep led by a lion can overcome a flock of lions led by a sheep. The individual combat ability of the vine armor soldiers is not weak, but the collective command ability is a little unsatisfactory. The commander Meng Shui is a fierce general who dares to fight, and often kills in all directions, and has a good reputation in the military array of rattan armor soldiers. But bravery and command ability are completely different things, and Meng Shui's command skills are still a long way from Hu Bu's return. Under the collision of the soldiers of the two sides, the high and low judgments were made.
The rattan warriors shrank into a phalanx and wrapped their shields around them tightly. Then he slowly moved out. The vine shield can cover the people inside, even if the feather arrow can break the vine shield, but after being isolated by the vine shield, and then shot at the vine armor, the lethality is greatly reduced, and it is not easy to achieve the killing effect.
Seeing this scene, Hu Bugui showed a cruel smile on his face: "Think you can attack by pretending to be a turtle?" Don't even think about it, Di Huofang, push the catapult out! ”
Fifteen rudimentary catapults were the most "advanced" weapons used to defend the enemy in Yingchou Village, and there was no one. Seeing this catapult, Chen Sheng felt a little strange, but Hu Bugui's face was a look of disdain, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the catapult has begun to appear on the battlefield, after entering the Warring States, this siege weapon has made great progress, the Qin army attacked the city and plundered the land, this thing is indispensable, the catapult used by the Qin army, the largest need for 100 people to operate, can put a 300 pounds of boulder, throw it on the city wall fifty zhang away! A smash is a big hole.
Obviously, the fifteen catapults in Yingchou Village are the most primitive and rudimentary versions, and can only be used to carry out simple projectiles using the primitive lever principle, which are far from being compared with those catapults used by the Qin army, which require dozens of people to work together and can accurately aim and shoot.
But something is better than nothing. After setting up the catapult, Hu Bugui immediately ordered a concentrated shot, threw the stone, and smashed it into the phalanx of the rattan warriors.
The stones thrown by the "Huhu ......" catapult cannot be controlled in terms of accuracy and long-term distance, so the first projection, fifteen stones, twelve missed, but the three stones that hit, the effect is also very significant, knocking down a small number of people, when the screams sounded, it really scared the rattan warriors. In order not to fall into the enemy's stone-smashing target, Meng Shu frowned and ordered the soldiers to increase their speed and quickly attack!
"The hit rate is too low." Chen Sheng frowned, with the attack effect of the catapult, it is really like a chicken rib, it will not work at all, but it will waste a lot of stones, these stones are indispensable weapons in defensive warfare! ”
"It doesn't matter." Hu Bugui said calmly: "Although we can't expect these few broken catapults to be able to defeat the enemy, but it can cause them a certain amount of pressure, as long as they add time to attack, the formation will be chaotic, once it is chaotic, then we have a chance." ”
Hearing this, Chen Sheng's mind flashed. In the special operations force, Chen Sheng was no stranger to the word "creating opportunities", and when he was fighting with the Praetorian Guard, he also used the geographical environment many times to create a large number of opportunities for himself to attack and kill, but he didn't expect that Hu Bugui was also perfect for such tactics, and it was really the wisdom of the ancients that should not be underestimated!
"Catapult, adjust your bearings and continue to attack!" Hu Bugui continued: "Continue to attack their follow-up teams, and try to disturb them as much as possible!" ”
"Whoosh!" The guards did not wait for Hu Bugui to give orders, and had already launched a round of feathered arrow shooting. After Meng Shu ordered the march to speed up, the formation of the rattan warriors became loose, and the guards had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. After a round of shooting, nearly seventy or eighty rattan warriors were killed, and almost all of the feather arrows were aimed at the arteries of the neck, the eyes and other places with the least defense, fully demonstrating the Praetorian Guard's ability to defy the sky.
After the feather arrows of the "Whoosh ......" Janissaries were fired, they did not stop, and the rattan warriors also shouted murder, and the valley was once again plunged into a fierce battle.
The rattan armor warriors had already gone through a burst of charge, rushing to the side of the city wall, and many ladders began to be erected, and the warriors without ladders, "One, two, three!" Shouting neatly trumpets, the arhats were stacked in a very tacit and orderly manner. This is the most common trick they use when attacking the enemy, as long as it is not more than five feet high, they have the ability to climb it!
"Pour boiling water!" Hu Bugui's face showed a hideous smile again.
A pot full of steaming boiling water poured down like this. A burst of screams sounded immediately, the military uniforms of the Minyue soldiers were not thick, and the rattan armor could not withstand the hot water at all, especially the bare skin, after being scalded by the boiling water, there were big bubbles immediately, and the skin and flesh were open. However, although the effect of boiling water is good, it is absolutely impossible to use it to repel the rattan armor warriors. These are the strongest fighting armies of Minyue, and they may be able to bring them some damage at first, but it is definitely not so easy to break their will to capture this walled city.
Looking at the clouds of white mist rising under the city wall, Hu Bugui was very satisfied. Under the pouring of the beginning of the pass, the enemy's offensive was greatly eased, and many Minyue soldiers who were stacking Arhats were washed down one after another. For a time, the situation of the city wall was very good.
