Volume 3 The World Buwu Chapter 137 Falling Short
"Shield array!bow #Crossbow ready. The centurions watched as the five ladders began to ascend the city walls, and according to the plan, began to change formations. It is a little difficult to run horses on the nearly 30-meter-wide city wall, but it is no problem to form a phalanx and set up a barbed turtle formation.
Wang Rui is not Chen Yuanhou, and he can't do the command ability of Lao Chen. But fortunately, the officers in the forbidden army are all real cadres, and a few turtle formations are not a problem. Behind the tortoise formation are archers and crossbowmen, this kind of firepower configuration, unless you have the determination and strength to fight to the death, sooner or later you will be hard ground into pulp, even if your eight thousand disciples are all the same sect, but after all, you have not undergone rigorous battle formation training.
The forbidden army on the city wall began to form a formation after experiencing the arrows of the first round of crossbows, and when the disciples of various sects jumped on the city wall, they were already in strict formation.
Yu Deshui took more than 200 elites of the internal guards to hide among the archers of the forbidden army. They are all the inheritance of Tianqing power, and unless the spiritual power of the arrows they shoot is much higher, it is impossible to change direction casually. Moreover, hidden in the pile of archers, it is just right to hide the figure. And Liang Yu took the veterans above the third order in the forbidden army to be ready to make up for the defense at any time.
"Arrows!"
Seeing that more than a dozen people had already assembled at the head of the city, the centurion of the forbidden army waved his hand, and the arrow feathers were like locusts. The disciples who went to the city didn't know which sect it was, but they were all four-foot long knives, and when they were sacrificed, the sword qi danced, and the broken arrows fell to the ground. The clanging sound seemed to mock the Forbidden Army's inadequacy.
And the next moment.
"Push!"
As soon as the centurion's second order came out, the shield instantly gave way to the gap, and the originally straight spear suddenly rushed forward. The sudden blow caught the disciples of Hexi who had just cut off the arrows by surprise, and many disciples looked at the spears of the past two battles without leaving any gaps, and were taken by this evil qi. subconsciously took a step back, but fortunately there were battlements and did not fall, but it also caused a lot of panic.
After the panic, the long knives began to chop the spear tip, indeed, they are well-armed and powerful, but you can't stand the numerical advantage of the forbidden army. Moreover, even if it is a spiritual power body, for the impact of several spears and the inertia of the body, it can only be a drop in the bucket.
"Poof!poof!" The sound of the spear entering the body was incessant. And the sword of the counterattack was far from reaching the soldiers of the forbidden army outside the two battles.
"Close!"
With another command, the spear guards shook off the corpse, turned around and dragged the spears back, regardless of whether they were alive or not, and did not fight you at all, while the sword and shield soldiers strode forward, and the turtle closed again. At the same time, arrows fired at close range can be used to attack enemies that can still move. What is well-trained, this is.
In the first round of confrontation on the city wall, the disciples of Hexi were stunned, obviously we were better armed and equipped, and obviously we were uneducated in the sect, why were we beaten like this by a bunch of scum born with mud legs? There was no more time to sigh. The arrows of the next round of crossbows arrived, but fortunately, it was a back attack, but fortunately, with the preparation of the shield, the casualties were not large.
Seeing that the first wave of sect disciples in Shangcheng had no achievements, Huang Yin was a little irritable, he didn't understand why this group of forbidden troops wanted to die here, and it was not your city. Complain is complaining, and the siege will continue. Huang Yin no longer cared about the life or death of those sect disciples on the city wall, and with a wave of his big hand, the ballista began to accelerate towards the city gate.
During this time, the Hexi disciples on the city wall were beaten with a stick again, and the rest of the people learned to be obedient, the first thing to do when they climbed the city wall was to run in the direction of fewer people, so that more people could climb the city wall, so that they could make achievements, and they would not fight any positional battles, spread out, disperse your forces, and use the personal strength of the cultivators to deal with it.
It was indeed a good way, the spear array rushed to kill five or six scattered people and could not come back, the casualties of the forbidden army began to increase, and at the same time, more and more sect disciples poured onto the city wall.
"Do it!" Yu Deshui couldn't stay any longer, they were the strongest swords in the entire forbidden army.
If the locust arrow flies out again, this time, it is no longer a casual wave of the hand, and the arrow is half off. Countless disciples found at this moment that their spiritual power seemed to be out of order, and they were unable to interfere with the arrows that were being fired.
"Puff puff!" This blow hit the ground, and more than 200 people evaporated their lives in an instant.
The next moment, the head of the small faction who was still climbing exploded. The sect that gathered 200 people needed to do its best for many years, and at this moment, it disappeared in an instant.
Under the cloud ladder, he felt the moment when this wave of spiritual power fluctuations suddenly disappeared, his neck tightened unconsciously, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad. If you want to turn back, how can it be, Huang Yin's ballista is set up there, maybe the moment you turn back, it will also be the end of ashes.
When the manpower was finally exhausted, after saving the east and saving the west, the firefighter Yu Deshui was already injured, and he could only roar dryly. The internal guards behind him were also at the end of the crossbow, and there were more and more sect disciples on the city wall, and the casualties of the forbidden army began to expand.
"Bring them down!"
On the other side, Liang Yu commanded the most elite and valuable group of veterans, and suppressed the disciples of Hexi with all his might. At this moment, the battle on the city wall has entered the white heat, and under the city wall, the charging cannon has been set up, just waiting to be fired.
This siege machine, known as the Charge Cannon, was designed to attack fortified cities, and two vehicles were used in groups. The gun shot out has a yin and yang rune on its body, once the two guns fly to one place, the yin and yang rune will burst at the same time, and the natural spirit stone on the gun head will also be shattered, and the power will increase geometrically. The cost is high, and it has just been restored from ancient books, so there is only one group, otherwise the city wall can be bombarded into slag regardless of the cost.
"Boom!"
Wang Rui, who was sitting on the city gate tower, felt as if the entire Linxi City was shaking, and then he realized that it was not a bed crossbow used for fire suppression, but an unknown new siege equipment.
It was not only Wang Rui who was shocked, but also Zheng Tong on the side, as well as many sect disciples under the city wall and beside the cloud ladder. At this time, everyone understood that Huang Yin had premeditated, and Tianyu Pavilion's method was really good. But think about it now, if you are your own person, follow Huang Yin, you may have a good future!
Huang Yin's position had already moved forward, and the moment the city gate opened, he laughed wildly: "Kill into Linxi City!" ”
Success is imminent, how can you not be crazy about it.
Success is also this move, and defeat is also this move. Seeing that the city gate was open, the Hexi sect, which had no military discipline to speak of, began to rush to the city gate, while the people on the city wall were in a dilemma, and the people on the cloud ladder were even more at a loss.
Wang Rui saw the most clearly at the commanding heights of the city gate building in the center, and he didn't care about being injured at this time, so he got up and shouted: "Push down the city wall and destroy the ladder." Xie Baolong, out of battle. As soon as Wang Rui finished speaking, his face was a little tense, the wound cracked open again, and his face turned pale with instant pain. Zheng Tong carefully helped Wang Rui to sit down, and at this time.
The end of the Hexi disciples who had no follow-up reinforcements on the city wall had arrived, and they were able to advance and retreat freely, plus there were countless arrows that began to retreat from multiple blows, and those who could not break through the encirclement even jumped directly from the city wall, after all, it was only more than ten meters, and they couldn't fall to death with the strength of a spirit cultivator. After completely clearing the walls of the city from the enemy, he began to attack the rocket rolling stones at the ladder, and a raging fire ignited in an instant.
The gates were opened, but the walls could no longer be taken. Wang Rui knew that as long as Xie Baolong rushed out of the city, destroyed the two unknown siege equipment, and then took the soldiers in the city down to block the urn city, Linxi City would be stable.
"Kill! rushed over and destroyed the two siege engines. Xie Baolong took the lead, his face was full of anger, but his strength was not more than a rank, but he was like a fierce general. One person and one horse rushed forward, flocking to the disciples of the Hexi Sect How can they make them feel better, to use inappropriate words to describe it, geese plucking feathers, tigers plucking beards.
In a moment, there were dead bodies and empty horses outside the city gates.
Looking at the siege vehicles that were close at hand, Xie Baolong smiled, and the knight behind him passed him, poured the few fire oil on the cannon and threw the fire fold, and the sky-high fire spread out like a ladder.
"Xiao Xie?" Teng Erhu, who was riding on the horse, looked at Xie Baolong who was on the wrong horse in astonishment, and when he saw the blood flowing from his waist and abdomen, he understood that with such a serious injury, he couldn't run a few steps, and under the excessive blood loss, it must be gone. But the cavalry has no time to grieve, and their life and death are always only at the moment of the wrong horse.
"Block!"
Liang Yu was the first to lead people to block the city gate, and killed the disciples of the Hexi Sect who were swarming towards him, and they were close to each other, suffering heavy casualties.
"Get out of the way!"
Yu Deshui has already exploded, covered in red light, with archers, he wants to shoot the realm.
The battle of the city gate that detonated in an instant is actually of little significance, and in the case of concentrated defense, there is no special siege method is the flesh mill, but the forbidden army has no choice, and dies in battle, or loses ground and beheads it. The Heximen sect is better, at least, it can survive.
Huang Yin saw the hope of victory at the moment when the city gate was opened, and when the ladder was burned and the cavalry of the 1,000 forbidden army took advantage of the city gate to destroy the cannon, he understood that he had lost. Neglectful of military strategy, his good hand was played poorly.
Unwillingly, the front-line battle group of Tianyu Pavilion rushed up just to make the last hammer deal. But all he has is a group of pig teammates, pig teammates with uneven hearts.
He wanted to push the last crossbow to the city gate to shoot the forbidden army that was blocking the city gate, but the swarming pig teammates completely blocked the passage, let alone set aside a shooting range. There is also Teng Erhu with the remaining hundreds of cavalry on the sidelines, threatening the flank at any time.
The Chen brothers rushed to the city gate cave where the three carriages could be parallel, and the first thing that greeted them was a canopy of arrow feathers from the inner guard, and then the big shield blocked, although the spears of the two battles did not have a strong attack and killing ability, but you couldn't get through it at all. Last time, they used the fighting style of the war group to catch Wang Rui off guard, but this time, with the skillful cooperation of the forbidden army, in their skilled field, the war groups of various small sects were helpless.
Quantitative change to qualitative change, yellow induction thoroughly. Even if the city gate is broken at this moment, it seems that victory is in sight, but in fact it is the opposite of each other.
Enter, can't enter, retreat, can't retreat. Huang Yin closed his eyes and half-held his head, as if to calm the anger in his heart. The mechanism was exhausted, and in the end, it was a bamboo basket to draw water.
"Withdraw!" Huang Yin said lightly, then turned around and walked towards the camp.
The Tianyu Pavilion disciple next to him was at a loss, knowing that Huang Yin turned his head and shouted, "I asked you all to retreat, didn't you hear?"
A quarter of an hour later, the people of Tianyu Pavilion began to retreat, although they were puzzled, but the order of the young sect master had to obey.
The retreat of Tianyu Pavilion naturally attracted the attention of many sects, but victory was in sight, retreat, which sect was the truth?
