Chapter 150: The Ruthless Sides
"Commander! The siege forces of the outsiders have begun to assemble! ”
Outside the camp tent, a subordinate's report came in, Zhao Pan, who was napping at this time, opened his eyes suddenly, and after coming back to his senses a little, he said loudly, "Tell all the troops defending the city to assemble behind the city gate, and I will be there soon!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Pan got up quickly, scooped a bowl of water from the clay pot where the water was stored, and washed his face with cold water, the tiredness on his face was quickly covered, and from the moment he walked out of the tent, he once again changed back to the calm general who defended the city!
"Where have the siege forces of the Outsiders advanced?"
Zhao Pan's calm voice calmed down the soldiers who were still obviously nervous, only to hear a sentry quickly run over and reply, "It's still three hundred steps away." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Pan nodded, he already had an idea in his heart, and then gave an order in a loud voice, "In this round of siege warfare, the slinger troops are divided into two groups, the first, second, and third squads are responsible for focusing on suppressing the opposing siege troops, and then they are referred to as Team No. 1, and the fourth squad is responsible for suppressing the opponent's archer troops, and then it is referred to as Team No. 2. ”
"In addition, the archer squad is responsible for sniping the siege vehicles on the opposite side, and the shield and axe troops are still responsible for protecting the slinger troops!"
"Yes!" The soldiers of the various units who heard the order responded in unison.
Then, I saw Zhao Pan casually pick up a spare round leather shield, and actually climbed directly to one of the sentry towers, obviously to personally sit in command, after all, compared to the sentry, he is also a slinger, after confirming the location and distance of the enemy troops with his own eyes, he can give orders more accurately.
Outside the city, the siege force of the outsiders was advancing with all their might, obviously trying to advance some distance before Zhao Pan and the others, who were the defenders of the city, reacted.
However, how fast can it go? Even in the era of cold weapons, the light cavalry, which is recognized as the fastest, is unlikely to rush all the way to the opponent's gate before the defending troops can react, and the infantry is even more impossible, unless the defending troops are all blind, and by the way, the cavalry is not suitable for siege warfare at all.
Zhang Yisheng obviously knew very well where his advantage was, and before the opponent made a move, he decisively commanded the archer troops under his command, suppressed the opponent with two volleys, and covered the advance of his siege troops.
The other party's harassment tactics made him a little anxious, and he originally wanted to fight a war of attrition, but at this moment he was eager to break through the opposite gate before sunset today.
But Zhao Pan is obviously not a vegetarian, and he will not let him easily get his wish, so he decisively commanded the slinger troops under his command to fight back, and pieces of stone bullets continued to fly out from behind the ancient city walls, making it difficult for the siege troops in front of them, and they all raised the shields in their hands and gritted their teeth to hold on.
Zhang Yisheng, who was standing in the rear, clearly felt the changes in the offensive of the opponent's slinger troops, and compared with yesterday's attack mode in which a large number of stone bullets were concentrated and suppressed in one place, today's opponent's offensive was obviously dispersed.
Realizing this, his face was full of solemnity, "Difficult guy! ”
glanced at the soldiers under his command, although they had taken a short rest, but the mental state of each one was still not good, and the other party saw the weakness of their troops' poor state, so they dared to directly disperse the offensive of the slingers without concealment, and suppress both sides at the same time!
In the time between the thoughts flying, several soldiers in the siege force had already been hit by flying stone bullets and their heads were bleeding, and Zhang Yisheng, who saw this scene in his eyes, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
At present, he is also the 27th player in the same rank standings, will he be planted in the hands of a player who has not yet squeezed into the top 100? What kind of joke is this playing with him?!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yisheng, who also began to be ruthless in his heart, decisively waved his hand and launched the 'morale-boosting' skill, "There is no need to save arrows anymore, archer troops, open their bows and arrows with all their might, suppress the other party, and cover the advance of the siege troops!" ”
As a veteran of siege warfare, Zhang Yisheng considered that he was going to fight a war of attrition, whether it was physical strength and arrows, he needed to distribute them reasonably, plus the full force of the slingers on the opposite side yesterday was really powerful, so he failed to achieve full firepower in all senses.
And now, he can't manage so much, he feels that if the war of attrition continues, maybe he will be consumed to death in the end, and when he realizes this, he is already determined to break through the gate of the Iron Wall Tribe before the sun sets!
In the face of this obviously ferocious long-range attack, the most obvious feeling was undoubtedly the defenders behind the city gate, and the exaggerated rain of arrows made the ten shield axe soldiers have no time to parry, and even a little difficult to protect themselves.
The slinger troops, which were originally in a comfortable environment, suffered a powerful blow in an instant, and many of the soldiers defending the city were shot into hedgehogs on the spot by the rain of arrows that came one after another.
This sudden change made Zhao Pan, who had always behaved extremely calm, have a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then hurriedly launched the 'Morale Boosting' skill and shouted, "All the slinger troops retreat thirty steps!" ”
Zhao Pan's 'morale boost' pulled the morale of his own troops in time, so as not to let the morale of the attacked garrison troops fall too sharply all of a sudden, and finally barely maintained the situation in the camp, but the next thing is the key!
"You still have a hand? Looking at this posture, the leader of the outsiders should have realized the fact that it would be beneficial to me to continue to consume each other like this, and now he is planning to forcibly attack the city in one go? The long-range firepower of Team No. 2 alone couldn't suppress this outsider's archer force at all......" With the defense of the circular leather shield in his hand, Zhao Pan glanced at the archer troops standing on the high ground outside, and his whole mood was suddenly solemn to the extreme!
"Let all the slinger troops gather fire on the opposite archer troops and force them back?" At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, and he was thinking about the strategy of coping, "No, in this way, the siege troops will definitely advance in one go, once they reach the vicinity of the city gate, according to the attack angle of the slingers, they will not be able to threaten them, and when the city gate is broken, we will definitely be defeated......"
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, and at that moment, under huge psychological pressure, Zhao Pan made a risky decision, "All the slinger troops obey the order!" The angle of attack is shifted to the left thirty degrees, giving me all the strength to concentrate the siege troops!! ”
