Chapter 232: The Defensive Battle of Amur City

"It's not out of the question that you're talking about." Lao Jiu looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "So let's scout Fang be more shrewd, it's best to send a few more teams to bring the Qin crossbow, and we must find out the specific reality." ”

"Don't worry, I'll send the most elite scouts, and there won't be a single mistake." Long Fei said reassuringly.

"And Xiaobao, you also sent elite cavalry scouts to search along the perimeter of the enemy's garrison and closely monitor the opponent's every move." Lao Jiu said, looking at Mi Xiaobao.

"Knowing my brother-in-law, we will do our best to monitor and block the enemy's contact with these two places. Recently, we have cleared out a lot of scouts on the other side, and now the number of scouts they sent out has obviously decreased, but their strength is a notch higher. Mi Xiaobao said.

"So in order to reduce losses, we have sent a large number of elites, and in recent times, we have not found any major actions on the other side. Their range of movement seems to have remained within fifty miles. ”

"It seems that they are indeed waiting for reinforcements, the basic arrangement is this, you start to act now, it is estimated that when the sun rises, it will be the time for them to attack the city." Lao Jiu looked at everyone and said.

By the time Lao Jiu's emergency meeting was over, the sun had already begun to rise. The armies of both sides have eaten and drunk enough, and on the city wall, they are busy with various defenses. And the Russian army has also begun to assemble outside the city, and it seems that the siege battle may start at any time.

At this time, Long Fei personally sat on the city wall, and consumables such as arrows and rolling stones were transported on the city wall in large quantities, and the bottom of the city wall was also full of supplements. Each bed crossbow is nearly wound and seems ready to attack at any moment.

At the battlements of the city wall, three rows of archers stood in turn, kneeling in the front row, and two rows in the back, and then the melee city defense warriors. Long Fei was surrounded by his brothers, and at this time, he was observing the enemy's situation.

I saw dust flying in the distance, and a huge human-shaped phalanx was pressing towards the city of Amur. After entering the line of sight, Long Fei found that these soldiers were all sword and shield soldiers. And the leader is a nine-foot-tall man.

Because his whole body was wrapped in heavy iron armor, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. Behind him, there was a phalanx of shieldmen. After being lined up, it is nearly three kilometers long, almost facing the entire northern city wall.

And looking to the rear, there are more than a dozen rows of these shield soldiers. Needless to say, these shield soldiers should be a regimental formation, a full 50,000 people. Behind the shield soldiers, there are various siege machines.

Among them, the ladder is the most, and the rest is crashing. But the most conspicuous thing is still protected in the middle, a huge log, the front end of which is wrapped with a layer of iron. It seems that this is the wood used to hit the city gate!

As the enemy got closer to the walls, more and more soldiers appeared behind. Behind the siege soldiers are rows of bed crossbows, which can be said to be a big killer, which can be used as fire suppression, and the range far exceeds that of bows and arrows.

However, what made Long Fei's face ugly was that the other party's bed crossbow design was very advanced, with huge guards on both wings, and the gap left in the middle was just enough to shoot a crossbow arrow. Although it looks very bulky, the defense is absolutely top-notch.

At present, I just don't know how lethal this bed crossbow is, and what is the range. Behind the bed crossbow were bands of cavalry, seemingly ready for the final charge.

"For the honor of the Empire! ......As soon as he reached the range of the shooter, he heard the roar of the old Maozi who took the lead, and the sound spread throughout the battlefield, and at the same time, he first held his shield and rushed towards the city wall.

"Rush! Rush! Rush! At the same time, an earth-shattering shout sounded, and 50,000 shield soldiers followed, directly towards the city of Amur, and launched a charge.

"Attack!" Seeing that all the shield soldiers had entered the range of the archers, Long Fei also roared and directly gave the order to attack!

"Attack! Attack! Attack ......" The entire city of Amur was echoing with this word, and this time, it suppressed the other party in momentum. The archers in the front row, at this time, also began to bend their bows and arrows, and launched the first round of shooting.

"Whew...... Squeak......" All of a sudden, all kinds of shouts and killings, and the sound of grinding against iron, seemed to have become the background music of the entire battlefield. Iron and blood are vividly displayed at this moment!

The neat sound of ......arrows breaking through the air was like a storm. At this moment, it really shows the importance of equipment. Although the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers are all silver-level, these arrows that were transported first are real, top-notch gold equipment.

Some of the arrows passed through the shield and were not blocked by the armor, which directly caused a lot of casualties, which surprised the enemy at the same time. Their impact became more violent. The distance of two or three hundred meters is almost a blink of an eye for these forty-level warriors to sprint.

"The archers attacked the rear of the shield soldiers, and the rolling stones were ready to prevent them from climbing the walls. The bed crossbow gives me aim at those instruments, and destroy as much as I can. Long Fei observed the entire situation and commanded in an orderly manner.

"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh...... "At this moment, one after another, like a ray of light, came directly towards the city wall with a burst of sound breaking through the sky.

"Bump...... Touch...... After a series of sounds, crossbow arrows more than three meters long pierced more than one meter into the city wall, forming rows of special wooden ladders on the entire city wall....... With this strength, the shield soldiers who rushed to the city could almost easily climb the city walls.

"The archers suppressed, prepared for close combat, and the enemy must not be allowed to climb the walls." Long Fei said, looked behind him and said, "You guys spread out to both sides, there is an emergency there, report it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" The rest of the people behind him immediately dispersed and began to take charge of a section each. It's a pity that the bows in the hands of the archers are not equipped with the gold level, otherwise these shield soldiers would not have been able to rush under the city walls.

Despite this, these people also lost nearly one-fifth, and most of the rest were wounded, and their combat effectiveness also dropped a few points. From the time the other party launched the attack to now, it was only a short half an hour, and in such a short time, the other party was almost about to attack the city wall.

"Killing ......" Finally, the first Russian soldier rushed to the city wall, but he was already covered in wounds. yelled, as if to cheer himself up, and as if to boost his own morale, and then he still fought into the crowd.

After a series of loud sounds, he didn't make any big waves, and was slashed by the melee soldiers....... However, his successful ascent to the top has aroused the morale of the Russian army. Then, more and more shieldmen, desperate, climbed the walls.

Their mission does not seem to be to capture the walls, but to delay as much time as possible and disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack. So, so to speak, they are determined to die. It is undeniable that their goal has indeed been achieved, as more and more people have begun to have the opportunity to climb the city walls.

All of a sudden, the siege of Amur City began to become tense. One by one, the ladders began to climb the city wall, and the soldiers in the rear of the Russian army also began to charge, and they seemed to be proud of climbing the city wall.

"Knock knock...... Thundered...... Bumper ...... "What's worse is that with the sound of roaring, Long Fei felt that the city wall under his feet began to tremble. It seems that the other party's crash has also arrived in the city.

"Roll the oil down, suppress the opponent's attack for me!" Long Fei didn't expect that this siege battle, at the beginning of Pu Qi, would be so intense. In desperation, I had to pour hot oil in advance. These boiling hot oils are actually edible oil, not oil.

Just as Long Fei's voice fell, there was immediately a team of big men in the rear, and they were all two of them carrying a cauldron, and they all threw the pot with oil on the city wall, and the people in the rear followed and continued to throw. The size of each pot is more than one meter in diameter, so it is very convenient for two people to carry it.

"Archers light a fire for me!" With a burst of miserable howls, seeing a large amount of hot oil being poured down the city wall, Long Fei immediately asked the archers to release the rocket. At this moment, the other party immediately suffered heavy losses, and the raging fire immediately covered the entire city wall.

And Long Fei didn't stop pouring oil, and after those siege equipment were ignited, they all began to burn wildly. Because most of the materials of these instruments are made of wood, once they have been burned by fire, they are almost completely scrapped.

This sudden fire attack immediately made the enemy break the idea of climbing the city wall. And the warriors who climbed the city wall were few and miserable, so they were quickly cleared.

Seeing the failure ......of the first wave of siege, the other party could only withdraw its troops from the battlefield, and then began to repair outside the city.

Seeing the enemy's withdrawal, Long Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that the opponent's first attack would be so fierce, which made him have to use the oil fire attack in advance. If strategically, he still loses.

Soon, the casualty statistics of the first wave of attacks came out. This wave of defending the city only sacrificed, more than 2,000 people, compared to the opponent's almost 50,000 losses, this casualty is negligible. Next, Long Fei immediately began to change guards.

Although it was only a little more than an hour of war, the physical strength and energy consumed were incalculable. In order to maintain the best condition, he directly asked the city defense soldiers to start a quick change of defense, and then asked the replaced soldiers to seize the time to repair.

"All the personnel above the general, follow me to the conference room and hold an emergency meeting!" Seeing that it was impossible for the other party to launch a second attack in a short period of time, Long Fei immediately organized manpower and prepared to hold a short meeting to make a summary of the battle just now.
