Chapter 352: Dragon Flying Battle (I)
July 1o, 189. Hai time.
Although it is not a full moon night, you can still see dozens of meters away by the moonlight.
Two miles north of Babao Valley, 3ooo Yu Qiang soldiers quietly appeared, a stout Qiang military general holding a mace, coldly staring at Longfei Town, sleeping in the dark.
"They still have the heart to sleep, even if Longfei Town is a trap, our prison sister Qiang's warriors are not afraid, and vow to set foot in Longfei Town!" The military general said in a deep voice.
"There is Hutu who personally goes out, where can the Han people in Longfei Town parry! And in my opinion, this Longfei Town has no idea that a catastrophe is coming, maybe we can kill the generals in one go, and settle all the battles in a single pillar of incense. The wooden wall of the Han people, where can stop our Qiang warriors! A thin Qiang man next to him smiled, judging by the situation, his identity should be similar to that of a staff officer.
Hu Tu nodded noncommittally, "Come out, first send two hundred people up to move those rejected horses away, and then our warriors will directly rush to kill them, so that the Han people in Longfei Town can taste the power of the Qiang people's iron horses." ”
The wooden walls outside Longfei Town have not all been built, and both sides of the town gate are rejecting horse walls, which is the breakthrough in the eyes of the Qiang people.
Two hundred Qiang warriors flew off their horses and ran towards Longfei Town with rope ape-like dexterity. Although the rejection horse is cumbersome, it only needs to be lassoed with a rope and dragged by dozens of war horses, and the rejection horse can still be dragged out of its original position. As long as the gate of Longfei Town is open, the waiting Qiang cavalry can rush in unimpeded!
Just when the Qiang people were about to take fifty steps away from the horse rejection wall, "whoosh", in the originally dead and silent Longfei Town, a puff of arrows flew out and accurately inserted into the body of the Qiang warrior. The Qiang people who ran at the front vaguely saw many people squatting in the dark behind the horse rejection wall, but that's all, the next moment, most of them had lost their lives, and the lucky ones who were not shot were only more than 20 people, rolling and wailing on the ground.
Of course, these arrows rained out of thin air, and the first dead soldier hid behind the horse rejection wall, and the attack in the gap of the horse rejection wall announced the official start of the defense of Longfei Town!
Hutu's pupils contracted, and he lost nearly two hundred fighters in just an instant, and the firepower of Longfei Town was greatly beyond Hutu's expectations.
But the Qiang general soon gave the order.
Storm!
The goal of the assault has changed, and 1,500 Qiang warriors urged their war horses to rush towards the wall of Longfei Town with a faster degree, as long as they rushed under the city wall, even if they used their war knives to cut the ground, they could also destroy the wooden city wall with low defensive power.
In addition to being born cavalry, the Qiang warriors are also natural archers, and the Qiang warriors who rushed forward galloped wildly, bent their bows and arrows, and threw them towards Longfei Town. The arrows were directed at the Horse Rejection Wall and the dark area behind the walls.
The width of the city wall is limited, at most 300 people can attack at the same time, and the vast majority of Qiang warriors choose to implement long-range fire support in the rear to cover the clansmen who destroy the city wall.
Although the Qiang warriors could not see the enemy clearly, the accuracy of the area coverage shooting was still amazing, and the defenders of Longfei Town soon suffered casualties. Under the suppression of the Qiang arrows, the sound of arrows entering the flesh was clearly heard behind the horse wall and the city wall, as well as the muffled snort after the arrow, but the Fengxiang warriors soon responded to the opponent with a more dense rain of arrows.
After paying the price of about 300 killed, hundreds of Qiang warriors had approached the wooden walls and slashed with their swords. Some of the more astute Qiang jumped off their horses and fought on foot to reduce the chance of being hit by the defenders' crossbowmen, but despite this, the Qiang continued to lose their lives under precise attacks and lay dead under the walls.
The battle outside Longfei Town has entered a white-hot and tragic battle from the very beginning!
"The Qiang people's bows and arrows are projectiles, and our casualties are somewhat large." Li Jin looked at the scene and frowned.
Chen Gong's face was unwavering, because he might face the enemy's attack from both sides, a certain "lazy" city lord had already assigned him the errand of commanding the battle in front of the town, and Ah Niu himself commanded the battle outside the secret passage of the Eight Treasure Valley. Chen Gong took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice:
"Arrow Towers concentrate on attacking enemies close to the walls!"
"The Yamagi battalion stopped firing, shielded the two hundred first-ascended dead soldiers with their shields, and waited for the opportunity to assassinate the enemy who destroyed the city wall!"
The Shanzi Battalion in Chen Gongkou's mouth is not the army led by Lu Han, but a regular force that has just been formed by the villagers of the original Tianye Town, and it has continued to use the number of the Shanzi Battalion. These villagers deeply hated the Qiang people who destroyed their homes, although it had only been two days since it was formed, and the combat effectiveness was really not enough. However, under the assault training of Li Jin and Ju Yi, some of the most basic combat skills were still mastered, and it was still possible to cover their comrades-in-arms and rush to assassinate them from the gaps.
In fact, this 500-strong Xinshanzi battalion still has quite a strong lethality - when using a rhubarb crossbow!
In two days, it is impossible to train these ordinary NPCs into elite troops, but the Big Yellow Crossbow is easy to operate and easy to use, and these recruits can shoot the enemy without being directly threatened. It was only because of the Qiang people's bow and arrow suppression that these recruits had to temporarily stop killing the enemy.
Due to the extremely short preparation time, Longfei Town's only time to build six arrow towers, condescending to kill the Qiang people who attacked the city wall, but unfortunately this kind of killing degree is obviously not enough, although the wooden city wall has fallen hundreds of Qiang corpses, but the durability of the city wall has reached a dangerous level, and there is a possibility of being broken at any time!
There were only 200 Xiandeng dead soldiers arranged in front of the town, this is because Ah Niu and Chen Gong both believed that the Qiang people were likely to adopt the tactics of attacking from both sides, and more than 400 Xiandeng dead soldiers were arranged in Babao Valley to garrison. This arrangement also made the firepower in front of the town insufficient, especially after the soldiers of the Shanzi battalion had to stop shooting, and the two hundred Xiandeng dead soldiers could not form an effective suppression in the confrontation with the Qiang people. Although the first soldiers continued to shoot the Qiang people a hundred paces away, there were still Qiang people rushing close to the city wall, taking over the unfinished work of the dead in battle.
Only at this time did Chen Gong truly realize the combat effectiveness of the Qiang warriors, and their fighting style of not fearing death was much stronger than the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing that the battle situation in front of the town is tight, the defense line is in danger of collapsing at any time.
And at this time, there was also a loud shouting of killing from the bottom of the Eight Treasures Valley!
Just when the battle in front of the town had not yet started, at the exit of the secret passage at the bottom of the Eight Treasures Valley, the Qiang warriors rushed out, and finally reached 3,000 people. It seems that Sister Qiang did not underestimate Longfei Town, and to deal with a first-class township, she actually sent a force of 6,000 people!
Unlike the 3,000 Qiang cavalry outside the town, the Qiang people who came out of the secret passage were all infantry. After hearing the movement outside the town, the Qiang people began to run out of the valley. Prepare to implement two bread clamps with the clansmen led by Hutu on Longfei Town!
From the shouts of killing outside the valley, it was learned that the enemy and us were fighting bloodily and failed to receive the surprise effect, but the Qiang people did not think that the operation would fail. In the calculations of the Qiang people, the Han people who did not know the secret path of the Eight Treasure Valley would definitely have a very wonderful look when they saw a large number of enemies behind them.
The reason why Hutu would rather let the clansmen carry the arrow rain attack of Longfei Town, but also sacrifice life and death to attack, is to cover this strange army in the valley, so as to achieve the effect of killing with one blow!
Now, it's time to show your might!
The Qiang people in the valley began to rush towards Longfei Town in whole formations, and they expected that as long as this force was engaged in battle, the rout of the Han people in Longfei Town would be inevitable. At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The Qiang people who were in formation at the bottom of the valley had only run less than 100 meters, and the Qiang people in the front row stepped into the air, and in a blink of an eye, there was a shocking scream.
"Trap!"
The five jagged traps were almost filled by the Qiang, and the bottom of the two-meter-deep pit was sharpened bamboo sticks and pointed wood, and the Qiang people who fell into it first were only killed!
More than two hundred places in front of the Qiang people, more than two hundred figures stood up suddenly, all dressed in black power, as if they were from the demon gods of hell, staring coldly at the Qiang people. At the same time, the Qiang people heard the sound of dense arrows breaking through the air, and more than 400 figures appeared on the mountain walls on both sides, and the big yellow crossbow in their hands happily spouted arrows!
The Qiang people at the bottom of the valley were suddenly caught off guard under such an attack.
"Damn, there's an ambush! Everyone is concentrated in the center. Their arrows don't have that long range, and there aren't many people on the opposite side, so hurry up and rush over, otherwise it's a live target! ”
The leading Qiang generals quickly understood that under such circumstances, it was impossible to attack the platform standing on a high place, and the only way to use the space at the bottom of the valley was to avoid the attack of the first dead soldiers!
The topography of Babao Valley is somewhat like a gourd, the narrowest part is outside the valley, most places are five miles wide, even at the bottom of the valley, there is a width of about one mile between the two sides of the mountain wall. Only by taking advantage of this width can you avoid the doom of being shot.
Carefully avoiding the traps on the ground, the Qiang people immediately concentrated in the center of the valley and ran selflessly, hoping to escape. But as soon as they rushed out of a few dozen steps, the Qiang people couldn't help but scold the Han people for being insidious. In the center of the valley floor, there is a trap every ten paces, although the width and depth of each trap are very limited due to insufficient preparation time, but it has a good effect on delaying the movement of the Qiang people.
Not only that, the Qiang people have appeared, and on the way to the direction of Longfei Town, there is actually a defense line to resist horses! The more than 200 people who appeared in front of them just now had already retreated behind the horse rejection line!
At the same time, the first dead soldiers on the mountain walls on both sides also divided half of their men to jump off the platform, and stood firm under the cover of their comrades on the platform, taking advantage of the range advantage of the Ershi Big Yellow Crossbow, and gradually approaching the Qiang people in the middle of the valley. When the first group of first dead men took up their advantageous positions, the remaining first dead soldiers on the mountain wall also began to jump down quickly, alternately pushing the battle line forward!
Such a situation fell in the eyes of the Qiang people, and they naturally understood that when the siege of the first dead soldiers on both sides was completed, it was the time when the side was ravaged. The generals who led the army hurriedly divided a part of the Qiang warriors and launched a confrontation with the first dead soldiers, although the range was not enough to cause too much damage to the enemy, but it could delay the advance of the first dead soldiers and win time for the breakthrough of the large army!
The rest of the Qiang people rushed towards the horse rejection wall desperately, and only by breaking the siege could they have a glimmer of life. Such a decision was undoubtedly correct, and the Qiang people were soon pleasantly surprised to find that the number of traps in the central position was not large, and after the Qiang people stepped on eight small traps in succession, there were no traps that could stop their advance!
In front of the Qiang people, there was only a non-lethal wall of rejection, and the more than 200 people behind the wall did not attack from a distance. Although the Qiang people had lost about 400 warriors under the attack of the first dead soldier before this, and the Qiang people who were responsible for containing and shooting against the first dead soldier had been defeated one after another, after all, the Qiang warriors of more than 2,000 people, if they could not break through the defense line, it would be a little incredible.
A certain city lord was standing behind the horse rejection wall at this time, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Although the Qiang people have suffered a lot of losses, the reaction of the Qiang people is very correct. Not only did he bravely break through the trap area, but the killing of the first dead soldier was far from Ah Niu's expectations, and the next step would be a real hand-to-hand combat!
Although the more than 200 people standing beside Ah Niu are all elite martial artists of Dark Flower, the narrow defense line is by no means something that two hundred people can take care of, and in the area of the Horse Rejection Wall, each Dark Flower Martial Artist needs to take care of an average of five or six meters of defense line, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Ah Niu had already seen the courage and good fighting of the Qiang people, his face sank, and he ordered:
"Let Juyi's people advance at all costs, and destroy the enemy behind them as quickly as possible! Let the Qiang people know that they are not the only ones who fight bravely, and the first to die is by no means comparable to them! ”
The martial artist quickly conveyed Ah Niu's latest order, Ju Yi didn't say a word, pointed the spear in his hand in the direction of the Qiang people, and shouted:
"Is there a bad seed in the first death soldier?"
"Kill!"
When the shouts of the first dead man sounded, Ju Yi had already rushed towards the broken Qiang, ignoring the arrows of hundreds of Qiang, and he was not even willing to waste the time to dodge to the side, only occasionally using his spear to pull away the bows and arrows that came from him.
The Lord will be so desperate, where can this group of thugs who ascended to the dead first still hold it, and rushed forward with Ju Yixiang. Although people continue to be hit by arrows, the first to die, who has always been known for fighting and not wanting to die, still fights forward as long as he still has a breath! Even after some of the first dead soldiers were hit by several arrows, they still gritted their teeth and ran wildly!
The Qiang people in charge of the broken aftermath couldn't help but gasp, what kind of army is this, what kind of enemy is this!
Although the number of Qiang people after the break was less than 500, which was similar to the number of Xiandeng dead soldiers at the bottom of the valley, such a desperate charge of the Xiandeng Dead was equivalent to being completely exposed to the attack of the Qiang people, and none of them stopped to suppress the firepower, and such a charge was obviously very disadvantaged.
But Ah Niu has no choice!
When Ju Yi's troops had just rushed out of fifty paces, the large force of 2,000 Qiang people had already approached the defense line of the Horse Rejection Wall, and even the hideous faces of the Qiang people in the front row were clearly visible.
"He Qian, you must not let the Qiang people break through the rejection wall, no matter what method you use, you must insist on waiting until Yan Yi arrives!"
He Qian nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, my lord, unless all the Dark Flowers die in battle, the Qiang people will never be allowed to break through the defense line!" ”
In the several battles that Feng Xiang had experienced before, the Dark Flower Martial Arts were almost always used as special forces, fully wielding the advantages of the martial artists' quick actions and strong personal combat power, and rarely fought such a tough battle for frontal defense. A certain city lord understood that such a defensive battle undoubtedly made the Darkflower Martial Master lose his mobility advantage, but Longfei Town encountered this tough battle at the beginning of its establishment, and the disadvantage in troops made Ah Niu have to use the Darkflower Martial Master as a regular army.
Dark Flower, Trapping the Camp, and Ascending the Dead First are all Fengxiang's special troops, unless it is a last resort, Ah Niu will never use these troops like this, after all, the replenishment and training of these three troops have extremely high requirements, and if one dies, one will be less. But under this attack of the Qiang people, Ah Niu has no other choice!
If this battle is won, Feng Xiang will keep the special territory that he has worked so hard to build, and completely gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and the trade cooperation with Burning Dangqiang will bring great benefits to Feng Xiang! As long as a few important generals don't die, even if the troops are wiped out, Ah Niu will not hesitate!
In the next moment, two hundred Dark Flower Martial Artists in black costumes had already strangled together with the two thousand Qiang troops.
At the other end of the battlefield, the wooden wall was finally breached by the Qiang people, and Hutu immediately led all his troops to prepare for a general attack!
Almost at the same time, both battlefields entered the final decisive battle! (To be continued)
