Chapter 38: Hands for Rain!
Meet at close quarters!
The casualties on both sides of the city wall are increasing, but the losses of the iron wall side are obviously much lower than the other side, firstly, because they occupy a favorable geographical position and can calmly launch an attack, and secondly, there are three generals on the city wall to guard!
Yan Yang, Sun Li and Wu Zhu were scattered in different directions, and those enemy foot soldiers couldn't hold out even for a round in front of them, and they were knocked down and slashed one after another!
Although the three of them had their own losses in the previous battle with the Yellow Turban Army, there are still more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in total, and it is naturally easy to deal with these foot soldiers!
The opponent's offensive to seize the city wall has basically been declared bankrupt, and the general besieging party's strength must be three times that of the defending side to capture the city relatively easily, and now the number of these foot soldiers is not as good as the army of the iron wall, and there is also a big gap in the battle, how can it be successful?
The only thing that worries people is the foot soldiers who are bombarding the city gates with their rams, because of the fierce fighting on the city walls, they can't take care of them for a while, but they are given some time to bombard the city gates!
"Bang, bang!" The huge impact force bombarded the city gate, and although the solid gate made of pure steel was strong, it could not be said to be unbreakable, and at this time, under the continuous bombardment of these foot soldiers, a gap gradually opened in the middle, and I believe that it will not be long before it can be completely opened!
"Good, well done!" The feeling of being played with as a fool is not good after all, Zhou Siyuan is now a little gritted his teeth, he made full use of the few remaining feather arrows, and specially called on those peasant archers on the city wall who wanted to shoot arrows down to stop the city from hitting the city, so that they could not make meritorious contributions.
It is already impossible to seize the city wall, and only by using all your strength to break through this gate can we minimize the casualties of the cavalry attacking the city!
Bai Ma Yi is extremely expensive from each one, and there is no room for the slightest damage!
Even now, he still has absolute self-confidence, those foot soldiers are just a tentative attack at best, and his main force is still intact, and his combat strength is unmatched!
"White horse is righteous, invincible in the world!"
This is an invincible army, and naturally there is also an invincible heart!
All kinds of conspiracies and tricks, difficulties and obstacles, are just some local chickens and dogs, and once Bai Ma Yi bursts out of his real combat ability, all of these will fall apart!
The city wall trembled under the huge impact force below, and some of the soldiers could not stabilize their bodies when they stood on them, and staggered backwards, and even a cloud ladder was instantly bounced away due to the shock, smashing the foot soldiers standing under them, only increasing casualties.
The opening of the city gate is even bigger, almost accommodating three or five people at the same time, Zhou Siyuan saw that the time was ripe, and he was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "White horse righteous servant, follow me to charge!" β
As he spoke, he led the team to rush towards the city gate, and the white horse servants behind him also lived up to the name of the elite, and followed behind him very quickly, the transition from extremely static to extremely dynamic was only in the blink of an eye, and the explosive power and the ability to control the war horse were revealed, which was shocking.
In the face of the white horse Yicong who rushed over, a confident smile appeared on Tie Wall's face again, only to hear him suddenly roar: "Archer prepare, throw!" β
"Projectile?" Zhou Siyuan, who was in the charge, heard it clearly, he was taken aback, he was experienced in combat, and he immediately sensed the danger, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dodge and pause the impact.
Bai Ma Yicong is really an elite division, and he actually turned his horse's head to the side in the charge, and there were still no accidents at this speed, no one fell off the horse, and there was no collision between them, which was really commendable.
"Haha, how did the carving insect skill hurt the white horse elite soldier?" Zhou Siyuan smiled proudly, he turned his head to look at the city wall, wanting to see the young commander's stunned appearance, but unexpectedly found a mocking smile on his face!
Why a mocking smile?
Zhou Siyuan's heart moved, he looked around the battlefield but did not find any feather arrows left, and then thought about the opponent's archers who were weak in shooting and not accurate enough, 100% of them were the most low-grade peasant archers, how could they have the projectile skills that only regular junior archers had?
"Boy, you dare to scorn me?" He was furious, and he was teased again and again, which can be said to be a loss of face, which made him ashamed and angry.
Tie Bi smiled indifferently and didn't speak, the Wu pressure next to him was happy, he laughed wildly: "I said that the general on the other side, if you don't dare to attack the city, you can retreat as much as possible?" Why do you want to perform acrobatics outside the city like a monkey? I have empty pockets, but I don't have the money to reward you many. β
This mouth is really vicious, and more than 1,000 white horses are red from everyone, Zhou Siyuan stands at the front and feels embarrassed, he is not good at scolding and fighting, and he can't find the words to fight back, so he can only sit on the horse and scream "wow", angry and angry.
Seeing the embarrassment of the white horse followers, Wu Zhu was even more happy, and at the same time he also sincerely admired Tie Bi, this guard battle he was in camp step by step, almost calculated every reaction of the other party, and saw people's hearts very transparently, and there were always eye-catching actions.
"Everyone around the adults is not mortal, and I should learn a thing or two!" Wu Jian thought secretly in his heart, at the same time, Zhou Siyuan felt that his face was dull, and he charged again with a calm face, he didn't say a word, only by killing this gang of thieves can he eliminate the hatred in his heart!
"It's time for me to express my expression this time, just one word from Lord Tiebi is like the power of ten thousand armies, forcing this group of enemy troops to flee in panic, and I should follow suit!" Wu Jian saw the lips of Tie Bi beside him move, as if he wanted to say something again, so he preemptively shouted: "Prepare for me with the archers, throw me ahhhhhhhhhhh β
Tie Bi was robbed of his head, but he was not annoyed, he glanced at Wu Jian with some strange eyes, thinking to himself that this person had noticed something?
"Throw your sister's shot, give me to continue the charge!" Zhou Siyuan, who was fooled once, naturally would not be fooled a second time, he completely ignored the words of Wu Pressure, Bai Ma Yicong was like a white dragon, rushing on the road of charging with amazing momentum, about to step through the things in front of him, and destroy the life of anyone who dared to fight!
However, to the surprise of others, as soon as the words of the black pressure fell, there was really a rain of arrows from behind the city wall that quickly rose into the air, heading towards the galloping White Horse Yi from the ****, and its range was almost incomprehensible, it was the stunt of a regular archer: throwing!
"Repeat villain, repeat villain!" In the face of the rain of arrows, Zhou Siyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, how could he not feel the powerful attack power attached to these arrows?
This is not an arrow that a beginner archer can shoot, and even the average army of intermediate archers does not have such an attack power, looking at the ferocity of this arrow rain can almost be compared to his white horse righteous servant, comparable to a senior archer!
In addition to those unsightly peasant archers, there are still high-level archers hidden in the city? So why didn't it show up earlier? Why didn't you show up when you were hiding just now? Why did Nima's suddenly appear at such a juncture?
"Why?" His words trembled, his heart was dripping blood, he knew what would happen if this rain of arrows fell on the galloping cavalry, but now it was too late to dodge, and it was impossible to avoid it!
The speed of the cavalry in the charge is incomparably fast, and Bai Ma Yicong, as the leader of the cavalry, is much faster than the average cavalry, and they rely on this speed to create countless war legends and defeat countless strong enemies, but now this speed has become their talisman!
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and it was not so much that these arrows were extremely accurate, but that they were crashed into by the cavalry themselves in a frenzy!
Strong to strong, needle tip to Maimang!
This time, there is no vacation, and there is no luck, even if he wears any armor, it is useless, Bai Mayi, who was hit by the arrow, fell to the ground in an instant, and was pierced from top to bottom, but he couldn't die anymore!
Dozens of people were killed in this round of arrow rain, and there were many cavalry in the rear who had no time to react and were mixed up by the dead bodies who fell to the ground, so they never had a chance to stand up, and were trampled to death by the friendly troops behind them, extremely aggrieved.
There are more than 200 people who died directly and indirectly under this round of arrow rain, and it can be described as a brilliant result!
"Shameless villain, I swear to eat your meat raw!" Zhou Siyuan was angry, he pointed at the black pressure and scolded loudly, Bai Mayi is worth sky-high gold from every one, and he tries not to damage it if he can do it on weekdays, but now he has reduced more than 200 people at one time, and this loss is big!
Wu Pressure was shocked by his crazy posture, and whispered: "I really don't know anything, I'm just talking and playing!" β
Zhou Siyuan couldn't hold on anymore when he heard his words, and a mouthful of blood gushed out violently, obviously it was the roe head rat-eyed guy in front of him who ordered the archery, such ironclad evidence, what happened in front of everyone's eyes He could actually deny it, and also made a disgusting appearance of "There is a debtor who is wronged, whoever provokes you will go", it is really unbearable!
Seeing that the enemy general seemed to have recognized himself, he looked behind him for help, and what disappointed him was that the archers behind him were not led by a general, and his lord was also in the battle to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, although these Yellow Turban Army had not lasted long, but the battle was not over after all, he did not get any response, and turned his head again in desperation, his face was even more bitter.
Tie Bi laughed, Zhang Fan's battle was nearing the end, and the pressure was much less, so he borrowed his team of intermediate archers from Zhang Fan to help defend the city.
Seeing that the enemy army under the city had once again reunited its team and was preparing to attack the city, Tiebi called Wu Jian to his side and commanded softly: "The archers can't launch an attack for the time being after the archers shoot, if you can delay them, I will ask for credit for you afterwards!" β
"Really?" As soon as Wu Jian heard this, he became interested, and the depression just now was swept away, and he thought that it was not the first time he had said big things anyway, so he agreed with his mouth, he straightened his chest, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Archer prepare!" What's that skill called? Oh yes, yes, shoot randomly! Shoot indiscriminately, and when that group of cavalry gets close, you will shoot them with arrows! β
"Random shooting?" Zhou Siyuan now has a bit of a taste of grass and trees, he thought that this is indeed the case, the archers in the city are quite high-level, they must have the skill of indiscriminate shooting, if they attack at this moment, it will inevitably increase the casualties, and he has lost more than 200 people under his carelessness, and now he really can't afford to have any more casualties, so he hesitated for a while.
Wu Jian saw that the other party actually cowered and didn't dare to step forward after his words, so he was even more arrogant, and kept shouting, Zhou Siyuan's face was pale, and Meng Qing, who was on the side, also rolled his eyes, and his feet were unconsciously farther away from him, but he was still unconscious, but he shouted more vigorously.
Zhou Siyuan was hesitating, and a white horse next to him suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Now our army has suffered heavy losses, if we don't capture this arsenal, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to General Gongsun if we go back!" Whether to enter or to return, please make a decision early, and change later! β
Zhou Siyuan was shocked when he heard this, what this person said was extremely reasonable, Bai Ma Yi was unparalleled in the world from his precious Cheng DΓΉ, and now he has lost more than 200 people, if he doesn't have the slightest gain, wouldn't he go back and be cramped and skinned by General Gongsun? At that time, his future will be completely ruined!
Thinking of this, he also relented and ordered Bai Ma Yicong to step up his attack and be sure to take down this Yellow Turban Camp!
The white horse righteous came from the surging again, the iron wall had already withdrawn most of the soldiers on the city wall to guard the door, although the white horse righteous servants had strong attack power, but they could not break through this human defense line for a while, but Zhang Fan's intermediate archer team recovered its attack ability again, and the sun and moon were suddenly gone, and the white horse righteous servants at the gate of the city fell in pieces, and they were no different from the yellow turban soldiers under the attack of the overbearing weapon of the bow and arrow!
After all, they are not heavy cavalry, and they do not wear iron armor that can effectively defend against attacks!
Zhou Siyuan's heart ached, these white horses were his lifeblood, and now they were easily put down like being cut wheat, which suddenly made him angry, and the offensive became more violent, and the soldiers under the city basically had no room to resist under the guns of these strong cavalry, and the attrition was very rapid, as if it was vulnerable!
"A rabble!" Zhou Siyuan sneered, in front of Bai Ma Yicong, any strong army will become a local chicken and a dog, and they can be killed lightly, they have absolute strength, and they can completely suppress a qiΔ!
"Shield array, gun forest!" Tie Wall's face had a faint smile from beginning to end, and in his shouting, a row of shield infantry showed their bodies from the militia, firmly occupying the city gate, they squatted down, and plunged their shields under the ground, and a long group of spearmen behind them stepped forward, put their spears on top of the shields, and stretched out far forward, forming a very strong defense system!
Zhou Siyuan frowned, in this case, they were almost blocked in front of the city gate, and if they wanted to advance, they would undoubtedly need to pay heavy casualties, and the pikemen naturally had a strong restraint against the cavalry, not to mention that there were shield infantry guarding them!
In the face of this wall of steel and the forest of spears, he felt a deep helplessness in his heart, if he had a bow and arrows in his hand, how could he make these rabble so rampant?
It's a pity that his arrows have been completely consumed, and if he wants to solve the current situation, he can only fight face to face and exchange his life for his life!
Exchange the lives of the White Horse Servants for the lives of these ragtag armies?
No matter how this is calculated, it can't be an accounting deal, but he has to do it, and now he can't afford to retreat, Bai Ma Yicong has already reduced one-third, if he retreats and returns to General Gongsun empty-handed to restore his life, his big head will not be able to keep it!
"Rush me!" Simply, he turned his heart sideways, issued an order to attack, and in the face of the trap of death, Bai Ma Yi obeyed the order, and launched an attack regardless of a qiΔ.
The cavalry in the front row and the horses collided with the spears, and they were instantly pierced in the heart, and the soldiers behind them took the opportunity to attack and kill, and the two sides were entangled and started a desperate fight!
"The white horse is really brave!" Rao is the two hostile parties, and Tiebi can't help but admire from the bottom of his heart, this huge cohesion and execution is enough to make anyone sigh that they are inferior, knowing that they will die and still bravely attack, how many people can do this, how many people have the courage to see death as home?
"I will definitely form such a team, this is the strong army that a man should lead!" Yan Yang's eyes flashed, looking at the white horse righteous servants who kept people dying, and there was occasionally a trace of regret in his eyes.
"How can you force such a strong army to such a point!" After Meng Qing was shocked by the hot sun last time, he once again learned about the horror of the iron wall, these two people attacked and defended, and they were both peerless geniuses!
Zhang Fan's team of archers has climbed the city wall, and now they are throwing arrows down unscrupulously, but the white horse servants are fast, and they can actually dodge the arrows, but they can't dodge it, so they use the spears in their hands to block, plus the defense of the armor on their bodies, the damage caused by the archers is relatively limited.
The battlefield at the gate of the city has become a bloody meat grinder, there is no cowardice here, there is no fear, no one will retreat, no one will escape, everyone has already killed the red eyes, and they have already ignored a qiΔ, unless the people in front of them are cut down one by one, they can take a good look at this Shura purgatory, and feel the boundless pain on their bodies!
Although Tiebi commanded properly, he was ahead of the curve, but his subordinates were never able to compete with the elite such as the strong army of the White Horse, their casualties were increasing, and gradually there was an irresistible trend, his face was straight, and he shouted: "Brothers, hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and when the time comes, they will surround inside and out, and kill all the cavalry!" β
Zhou Siyuan was horrified when he heard this, and he was even more confused, he quietly came to Tie Bi's side and asked softly, "My lord, do we still have reinforcements?" β
Tie Bi glanced at him with a smile and nodded in affirmation: "Yes!" β
"Where?" Under the pressure of joy, his little eyes narrowed into a slit, and he really doubted that he could still see anything now?
"In town!"
"That's good, that's good! Oh, that's not right! "I just realized that something was wrong when I was halfway through my words, the reinforcements were in the city? But where are the reinforcements in the city besides their army? Could this man be my lord's army? But now that they are busy exterminating the remaining Yellow Turban Bandits, how can they have time to come to their aid?
"It seems that there is a joy in vain, and the man in front of him is cheating again!" Wu Jian thought secretly in his heart, retreated to the side, always ready to support the battle at the city gate, and now he can only rely on these generals!
Zhou Siyuan didn't know the mystery of this, when he heard that the other party actually had reinforcements, his heart suddenly tightened, he led Bai Ma Yi from the lone army from Youzhou to Jizhou, originally thinking that he was using his own speed advantage to make a big deal here, naturally there were no reinforcements, but now he suddenly heard this, and suddenly like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, he was deaf and deaf, and he forgot to react for a while.
"I don't care if you have reinforcements, I will destroy you first, and then I will go into the city and get my things and leave, am I afraid that an army will be able to catch up?" Anger rose from his heart, and after a short pause, he made up his mind, as long as he increased the frequency of attacks and fought quickly, even if the other party really had reinforcements, he would not be able to catch up with the fast white horse Yicong, and he could only sigh with hope!
"Attack me!" He roared wildly, majestic mountains and rivers: "White horse is righteous, invincible in the world!" β
"Invincible in the world!" The white horse who was present responded in unison, and was about to organize another attack, but unexpectedly suddenly!
"Phew!" A roar came from the city, this roar was like a golden stone, like a beast's roar, like a thunderbolt, anyway, it was not like a human voice, the white horse servants only felt dizzy, and they could no longer control their bodies, and the war horses under their crotch suddenly became furious, jumping and running around, roaring again and again, difficult to control.
At the critical moment, Zhang Fan finally wiped out all the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city, and led Zhou Cang to join the battle at the city gate.
Stuffy Stick: Incapacitates a team of enemies for 5 seconds and has a cooldown of 60 minutes!
In just these 5 seconds, as short as lightning, Zhang Fankong rushed into the battlefield with the only remaining 10 bandit troops, and did not attack, and instantly launched the stunt of the troops!
Single-minded Raid: Concentrate on looting the opponent and completely ignore attack and defense!
I saw these robbers stretching out their hands to touch the white horse in the front row, and suddenly the spear, armor, and war horse were all in their pockets, leaving no trace for the other party!
In 5 seconds, they harvested 20 spears, 20 armor and 20 horses, money and miscellaneous items.
Zhou Siyuan rushed to the forefront by force, and now he has become the target of looting, he loves horses under his crotch, and the spear in his hand, including the robbers who have searched everywhere, and when the 5 seconds have passed, he roared angrily when he realized the loss, and his face almost turned into the color of pig liver, turned around and stepped on a war horse that had lost its owner, and integrated the troops to prepare for another battle.
There's no way, the finances that have been accumulated for a long time on the body have actually been swept away, these are nothing, the key is that a book on how to train war horses and how to train white horses was also robbed by the strongman, if this matter is known by General Gongsun, it is definitely a big sin to rob the family and punish the nine clans!
The robbers who don't care about it on weekdays actually brought such a big loss to themselves, just like a mortal slaughtering a giant god, this is almost impossible to happen, but the facts are in front of him, and he can't believe it, Zhou Siyuan only feels that he is unlucky today, and he is simply unlucky to get home!
Seeing that the enemy still wanted to fight again, Zhang Fan smiled coldly and ordered the soldiers in the front row to step aside, revealing his newly formed army, which made Zhou Siyuan frightened and heartbroken as soon as this army appeared.
"Crossbowman, how can it be a crossbowman! Where did the crossbowmen come from in this small camp? Zhou Siyuan was really speechless, the attack power of the crossbow at close range was several times that of the bow and arrow, Rao is martial arts and courage if he had no way to defend himself, he felt that this battle had no chance of winning, so he quickly ordered to retreat, and fled backwards regardless of himself, saving his life is the first priority at present!
As for how to explain to Gongsun Chan after he goes back, he can't take care of it now, and it will be a death situation when he goes back, so it is better to occupy the mountain and be the king in this Jizhou!
The commander of the dignified white horse has actually fallen to this, and this battle is really a big defeat!
Wu pressed to the side and saw Bai Mayi fleeing from the panic, but the crossbowmen did not attack, and he was immediately anxious, and he hurriedly came to ask Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan smiled indifferently: "These crossbowmen are all dressed up as militiamen, and they are not very familiar with crossbows, so they can't control them!" β
"Can't control it? Is that you can't attack? Feelings: These more than 100 bows and crossbows are just a flower shelf? "Wu Press's heart shook wildly, and there was another man, you said that your crossbowmen were obviously unable to attack, why did you let the front row of soldiers get out of the way? Aren't you afraid that Bai Ma Yicong will take the opportunity to attack and kill you on the spot? Who did you borrow so much courage to dare to do so?
He looked at Tie Wall, and then at Zhang Fan, these two people always had a faint smile on their faces, which made people wonder through, and he was also happy after half a ring, secretly thinking that this might be a master's appearance, deceiving people is so good, thinking that deceiving people is a necessary condition to become a master, right?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran up the city wall, and saw that the Bai Ma Yi servants had run far away, and were frantically fleeing to the west at the moment, he rolled his eyes, imitated Zhang Fan to show a smile, and roared loudly: "Look at these lost dogs, they are really panicking, and our reinforcements are in that direction, right?" β
Zhou Siyuan, who was on the run, was immediately shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered to turn his horse's head and head towards the east: "There are reinforcements in the west, so it's always right for me to go to the east, right?" I've turned around, and Nima can meet the unexpected? Although Lao Tzu is unlucky today, he really doesn't believe in this evil! β
Seeing that he was playing the other party in a few words, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, although there was no point in doing this, but he was willing to do it, he just liked to see the enemy exhausted, where else to use any other reason?
But he didn't know that in the east, the direction of the rising sun was the direction of the Shadow Demon and his three hundred elite marches, one of these two groups was panicked like a lost dog, and the other was full of ambition to do something to kill!
If these two groups collide together, what kind of sparks should be created?
What kind of turnaround will this unintentional move of black pressure bring?
When the scorching sun was in the sky, the blood on the ground was evaporated, and Zhang Fan snorted fiercely:
"What a strong smell of blood!"
