Chapter 165: Total Suppression
In Biancheng County, beacon fires were lit one after another, from the border to the beacon tower outside the county seat of Biancheng County.
At the north gate of Biancheng County, Zhang Shun, Qiao Shan, Zhang Sanmad and others were on the city wall, looking into the distance.
"Big brother, you must pay attention to safety!"
"Master, you have to hold on!"
"Tie Dan'er, you must keep the Mongols out of the border!"
……
At the middle fortress, endless arrows rained down, and the people who pressed them couldn't raise their heads, so they could only squat in the corner of the wall or use their shields to lower their heads.
Zhang Tie, who was also hiding in the corner, listened to the whistling sound of arrows in his ears, and looked at the soldiers who were completely suppressed, and couldn't help frowning.
"Damn, completely suppressed! Is this the strongest cavalry archer in the era of cold weapons? Sure enough, no matter what world it is, nomads are very strong! ”
Such a situation reminded Zhang Tie of his previous life, of Temujin, and of the great achievements he had made, conquering the Black Sea coasts of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
If it weren't for the insufficient population of Mongolia at that time, the steps taken were too big to be managed, otherwise, it is estimated that the Yuan Dynasty would be the master of two or three continents.
……
In fact, it was not that the soldiers of the fortress were weak and could not defeat the Mongols, but that they were restrained by the Mongols.
The Mongols were all warriors who were good at riding and archery, and Zhang Tie had only about 20 archers, so how could they shoot against the Mongols who were good at riding and archery?
Although the strength was stronger than that of the enemy Mongols, it was a pity that the archery skills were not as good as the Mongols, coupled with the disadvantage of numbers, which led to the soldiers of the fortress being suppressed and unable to get out of breath.
If it is a close combat, whether it is foot combat or cavalry combat, the Mongols in front of them will definitely not be able to withstand Zhang Tie and others, even if they are twice as numerous as Zhang Tie and others, they are still not the opponents of Zhang Tie and others.
It's a pity that the strength of the Mongols lies in cavalry archery, and they will not abandon their advantages at all, and engage in close combat with you.
Silently took out the [Eternal Palace], and after two breaths, the [Eternal Palace] appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
One grabbed the shield and set it up on the battlement, observing the Mongols below through the characteristics of the [Eternal Palace].
The Mongols, all on horseback, lined up in two rows, each with nearly a hundred men, surrounded the fortress and fired at the fortress in sections, which is why the rain of arrows was continuous.
Looking at the Mongols below who shot an arrow almost every half breath, this made Zhang Tie's mood even worse, and in this case, Zhang Tie didn't think of any good way to organize the soldiers to fight back for a while.
Because this is really difficult for a strong man, the continuous firing of two hundred people has covered the entire fortress, which is very dense.
The only point of counterattack is Zhang Tie himself, through the [Eternal Trace Palace], Zhang Tie can poke his head out in a split second, shoot an arrow, and then hide behind the [Eternal Palace].
Fortunately, the quality of the shields in the hands of the soldiers was very good, and they were not exploded by the arrows of the Mongols, which fully embodies the famous saying that the system must be a high-quality product.
Coupled with the strength of the soldiers themselves, they were able to hold out in the continuous rain of arrows.
If an ordinary person had been paralyzed by the power attached to the arrow, he would definitely not be able to hold the shield at that time, and then he would have been dead.
In fact, not only Zhang Tie had a headache, but also the Mongolians such as Jin Qila below.
From the beginning of the shooting, except for a few screams at first, and then there was only the sound of whirring arrows, only the clanging sound of arrows hitting the fortress or shields.
From this voice, Jin Kela knew that in addition to the first wave of arrow rain causing casualties on the other side, the subsequent shots were blocked by the other party with a shield.
But even so, he was not panicking, in his understanding, the shield in the hand of the shield bearer should not be able to withstand continuous fire, but things always surprised him.
More than a dozen waves of arrows had rained down, and there was still only the sound of clanging, no sound of shields breaking, and no screams.
"Damn, are these soldiers turtles? Why is it so hard!? ”
Looking back at the clansmen behind him, Jin Qila gritted his teeth and shouted: "Keep shooting, I don't believe it, I can't shoot this shield, it's so hard to gnaw?!" ”
The words from below made Zhang Tie slightly stunned, only to realize that, as the people below said, the soldiers on the fortress are really like this now, and all the arrows are blocked by the shield.
This made Zhang Tie's heart breathe a little relieved, but although there were no casualties, Zhang Tie still couldn't completely relax.
Because this can only show that they can only protect themselves under the fire of the Mongols, but they cannot stop the way of the Mongols.
Their duty was to garrison the bunkers and not allow the Mongols to invade the border counties, rather than to stay there in peace.
Looking back at the soldiers behind him, it was like a turtle shell, extremely defensive, and there were many arrows stuck in the shield, but they were still strong.
"Huh?!"
Looking at the iron shield wall, Zhang Tie had a plan in his heart, which may not work very well, but this is also the only way Zhang Tie can come up with at present.
"The sword and shield soldiers obeyed, revealing a gap the size of an arrow hole, and the archers threw freely from the gap."
With such a small hole, the probability of being shot in the back with an arrow is very small, and if it can be shot in this way, it can only be said that it is a bad fate.
As for why it is a projectile instead of a direct shot, it is because the archers are not counted on the edge of the city wall and cannot effectively shoot directly, and the direct shot will not shoot people at all, and it may even hurt teammates.
Therefore, it can only be projectile behind the shield, and with the existence of [Eternal Palace], Zhang Tie can adjust the archers' throwing strength and direction according to the landing point of the arrows to achieve the best shooting effect.
As soon as the order was given, the sword and shield soldiers began to move cautiously, revealing a small hole in the center of the mouth, facing the outside of the fortress.
The archers, who had been holding their breath for a long time, picked up their arrows, drew their bows, and threw them from small holes.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Scarce arrows shot outside the fortress, crossed the Mongols and fell in the rear of the Mongols.
"Yes!"
In the face of the sudden counterattack, Jin Qila was stunned, he didn't expect that the soldiers on this fortress still had the ability to fight back, but after seeing the scattered arrows falling behind him, he couldn't help but let out a disdainful laugh.
"I'm afraid that these soldiers are already panicking, and they actually shoot such arrows, what is this, itchy?"
"Keep shooting, it looks like they're going to be low."
Jin Kela continued to cheer for the clansmen, in his mind, the Yan people on the fortress carried out such a counterattack, I am afraid that they should not be able to support it, and they are making a final struggle.
