In previous exercises, we have practiced similar siege warfare. But the white team responsible for the siege that time had no archers, so they could only rely on the shield array to attack. This time, Gan Sheng personally commanded, he first arranged three sword and shield battalions to line up in front, and two Green Arrow battalions stood at the back to be responsible for covering.

In addition, Gan Sheng also instructed the spear battalion led by Jia Ji to find a stalactite two feet long nearby as a battering ram and carry it behind the Green Arrow battalion to prepare. The canine cavalry battalion was always on standby, and the canine cavalry all got out of their saddles, leaving Cerberus lying on the ground to rest and conserve his strength. The remaining two spear battalions and Wang Song's baggage battalion were behind and on the flanks of Gan Sheng's first battalion to prevent another ghost bandits from sneaking up.

After all the battalions were arranged, this siege battle was also the first actual battle of the night tour army!

Gan Sheng ordered all the sword and shield battalions to raise their shields and line up in a tight shield formation and advance steadily. When he reached a distance of about 100 meters from the ghost bandit wall, he suddenly shouted again: "Stop! Keep the shield in place! ”

We didn't know why, so we had to keep holding our shields and stay where we were.

The ghost bandits also had archers on the city wall, and when they saw that the army began to attack after the night tour, and when they came within range, they immediately shot arrows at us.

But the quality of their bows and arrows, as well as their archery skills, were incomparable to the Green Arrow Battalion led by Gao Jia. Half of the arrows from the walls could not reach a distance of 100 meters, and the remaining half, even if they succeeded in hitting our heads, were weak and would not pose any threat at all.

Gan Sheng let the opposite side shoot for a while, neither ordering to move forward nor to retreat, obviously using us as a live target for the ghost bandits to practice archery, the purpose is to consume the opponent's arrow reserves. Sure enough, after shooting thousands of arrows, the ghost bandits on the city wall finally understood this truth, and stopped the senseless wave shooting with a scolding attitude.

There is no archery on the opposite side of the city, and it will be Gao Jia's turn to make a move!

Professionally trained archers can reach a range of more than 150 meters using high-quality bows and arrows, and the effective killing distance is within 120 meters. At this time, the two Green Arrow battalions of the Night Tour Army were standing at the rear of the shield array, about one hundred and twenty meters away from the city wall, and were within the effective range of their own side. The night tour army can take advantage of the difference in range between the two sides and adopt the tactic of elevation and projectile to attack the ghost bandits on the city, but the ghost bandits are not capable of shooting arrows at the head of the Green Arrow battalion.

Moreover, the arrows used in the Green Arrow Camp are all specially made, and after the archers add yin power to the arrows, they will ignite the ghost fire of the arrow, and once such an arrow hits the ghost body, the ghost fire will burn more and more, causing serious damage to the ghost.

"Lead ......"

Gao Jia issued the first password calmly and unhurriedly, and the end note was very long. All the archers move in unison, immediately placing an arrow on the bowstring while raising the bow forward.

"Full ......"

The archers quickly drew their bows and began to aim.

"Put!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

A total of 200 archers from the two Green Arrow battalions listened to Gao Jia's order and carried out the first round of volleys. A dense rain of arrows flew towards the city walls, and the arc just crossed the height of the battlements, falling on the top of the city and behind the walls. The place where the arrow rain landed suddenly glowed green, which was the effect of the ghost fire on the arrow burning when it touched the ghost body after hitting the target.

"Ahh

"Yay! Burn me! ”

"Help me put out the fire! Help me! Help me! ”

There was a cry of ghosts and wolves on the other side of the wall, and the unlucky ones who were hit by the arrows could not have imagined that even if they hid behind the wall, they would be the first victims of this battle.

After the three rounds of arrow rain in the Green Arrow Battalion, there were basically no ghost bandits on the opposite city wall who dared to raise their heads, and all of them were cats in bunkers. Gan Sheng was very satisfied with the effect of such a long-range attack, and ordered Gao Jia to pick out a few of the most skilled archers to snipe at the ghost bandits who were planning to cause falling rocks on the cliffs on both sides.

The funny thing is that the dozen or so ghost bandits stood on the top of the cliff and couldn't dodge the arrows that were shot, and they were eliminated one by one before they could find a chance to play a role.

Suppressing the opponent's ranged troops, and resolving the threat from the heights, Gan Sheng finally confidently and boldly ordered the shield formation of three sword and shield battalions to move forward slowly, while the spear battalion carrying the battering ram hid behind us.

The Green Arrow battalion did not move, and continued to suppress the ghost bandits on the city wall with volleys, providing long-range fire support to the siege troops in front. Gao Jia divided the archers into four groups and took turns shooting. In this way, although the power of each volley decreased, the tempo was accelerated, forming a continuous suppression, so that the ghost bandits on the city wall did not even dare to raise their heads, let alone shoot arrows at us to shoot back.

At this time, the dog riding camp also began to move. Shen Turen gave the order, and the dog cavalry stepped on the dog's back, took off the halter, slowly started in the back, and detoured back to the right flank.

When the three sword and shield battalions in front of us marched to a distance of only fifty meters from the city wall, the canine cavalry battalion led by Shen Turen began to sprint. But their goal is not the city wall, but the stone wall under the cliff on the right, where there is a slight slope and a number of jutting rocks as footholds. Cerberus effortlessly climbed the stone wall with the help of these protruding rocks!

"Kill!"

Shen Turen roared angrily, brandished a long sword, and took the lead in killing the city. The first ghost bandit in front of him was stunned when he saw him descending from the sky like a divine soldier, and he was split in half before he could react.

The hundred canine cavalry behind Shen Turen also followed closely and stepped onto the city wall and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Untied the halter's head of the hell beastly hair, began to frantically bite those ghost bandits. A raid party consisting of a hundred canine cavalry and a hundred Cerberus covered the castle back and forth, as if there were no "ghosts". A large number of ghost bandits who were originally stationed at the head of the city were frightened and jumped off the city wall to escape.

"Infantry battalion charge! Attack! Gan Sheng shouted from behind.

After hearing the order, the tight shield formation of the three sword and shield battalions immediately spread out to the normal distance and began to charge. My eighth battalion was on the right side of the shield array, and on the outermost side was a Shi led by Du Zong. Running and running, I suddenly fell a little behind the outside of the thing.

I took a closer look, and it turned out that Du Zong, as the leader, actually ran at the back of the team, which caused his running speed to be slowed down intentionally or unintentionally. It stands to reason that the position of the chief in the military formation is either at the front or the fifth in the middle to be easy to command. This Du Zong is obviously greedy for life and afraid of death!

I was furious, ran behind him on a cerberus, and yelled at him, "Du Zong, you run to the front of the team for me immediately!" Let me see you delay and be dismissed on the spot! ”

Du Zong was startled by my yelling, and hurriedly ran a few steps to keep up with his team.

However, after such a short period of seconds, the three sword and shield battalions all charged to the edge of the city wall. We raised our shields against the walls again, and the pikes that followed, carrying stalactites that served as battering rams, slammed into the gates.

"Boom!"

After a dull loud bang, the gate of the ghost bandit shook violently a few times, and the gravel and earth slag on the side of the door frame fell one after another.

"One more time! One more time! Everyone in the city shouted.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The walls and gates built by the bandits were shoddy buildings, and the pikemen battalion knocked them down after only three hits. Three battalions of swords and shields and a battalion of spears immediately rushed into the city and killed them. The morale of those ghost bandits has collapsed, their hearts are broken, they have completely lost their ability to resist, and they have been slaughtered by us like chopping melons and vegetables.

Including the dog cavalry battalion, after the night tour, the army only used five battalions of troops to attack the bandits' lair, and defeated this group of ghost bandits, who originally had thousands of bandits. What's even more ridiculous is that these ghost bandits didn't even leave a back road for themselves in their own lair, and they were caught by us in an urn, and they really couldn't escape!

In the end, when only about a hundred ghost bandits remained, Gan Sheng stopped in time and ordered to accept the surrender of the ghost bandits. After all, he still wanted to leave some captives and bring them back to ask for merit and reward.

Among them, the leader of the ghost bandits was not dead yet, and was caught by me and Jia Ji's men. After some "ideological education", it obediently confessed the place where the stolen goods were hidden. We went over and opened the treasure trove, and hey, there was a lot of gold and silver treasure in it! Roughly calculated, the value of these treasures is at least tens of thousands of Yin Yuan.

Seeing this, Gan Sheng, who hurried after receiving the report, immediately assigned his first battalion of personal soldiers to guard the treasure house and drove out all the soldiers from the other battalions.

But none of his colonels and soldiers are fools, and they are clearly planning to embezzle all the spoils!

As a result, the nine Yin Masters gathered in front of the treasure house, clamoring for a piece of the pie.

Among them, the straight-tempered Shen Turen was the most dissatisfied. He shouted loudly: "Damn, so much loot, he actually wants to eat it alone?" Appetite is too big! ”

Jia Ji also said indignantly: "That's it! He's done with the meat, so he'll have to leave us a few bones to nibble on! ”

"In addition to us, there are also the chiefs and Yin soldiers under our men!" Cheng Youliang added worriedly, "They definitely want to drink soup with them." If not, someone will always make a small report to it! ”

"Having said that, if it's true that everyone has a share, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to share one or twenty Yin Yuan! So what's there to be noisy about? Some people scoffed at Cheng Youliang's opinion.

I just stood by and watched them make a noise, and I didn't speak, and I kept sneering in my heart. After all, I am also a person who has gambled a huge sum of money of up to 20,000 or 30,000 silver dollars if I win or lose, and I am not like them when I see money like a fly sees cow dung.

As the most trusted of Gan Sheng's subordinates, Wang Song has been trying to be a peacemaker, but he can't help other colleagues to besiege him repeatedly, and finally has to run to Gan Sheng to discuss countermeasures.
