Chapter 270: Siege (2)

Seeing that more and more enemy troops were climbing the city wall, the city wall began to become untenable.

A few days earlier, the wooden ladder leading to the city walls had been completely removed.

As a result of the continuous upward flow of the people behind, the soldiers who first climbed the city wall were squeezed like dumplings and fell into the city. The people behind only knew that there was some loosening in front of them, and they squeezed harder to the top, and the screams and shouts to stop the people behind them from climbing the city wall were drowned out by the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

At this time, the lead on the ground had burned to the root of the wall, and the enemy army rushed with a rush, and the number of people who attacked the village was nearly 1,000. Of course, most of the people who fell from the ten-zhang city wall have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and those who can still move are lucky enough to fall on the pioneers.

Before the soldiers who had rushed into the city gates after the siege engines had time to see why their allies were jumping down from the walls in defiance of death, a strange sound sounded in their ears, as if the summons of some devil from the ground had been brewing for a long time.

On the battlefield, people's five senses can be described as extremely slow and extremely sharp. At such an extraordinary moment, normal people's behavior can only be governed by intuition, and the purpose of the army's training is to replace the individual's subconscious behavior with the most reasonable offensive and defensive formations in which everyone cooperates. This minimizes casualties and prevents the army from collapsing at the touch of a button.

Therefore, even though the soldiers who rushed into the city had already sensed that something was wrong, they still maintained the formation of the charge and rushed forward.

The long line of leads seemed to have ceased to move since they had burned to the base of the wall, and the cavalry that had lit the fuses had stopped a hundred feet away—the great nets of twine that connected them between the horses and the walls had stretched straight and held them immobile.

This singular state lasted only two or three breaths.

There was a bang, as if it came from the ground.

The dull rolling thunder does not know where it begins and when it ends.

The ground trembled, mud and rocks flew sideways.

Lin Shaoge dropped the green flag.

The cavalry followed Shi Xiang and suddenly urged the horses. A piercing crunch sounded, and I saw that the gray city wall slowly fell, carrying hundreds of people crowded on the city wall, and smashed down towards the enemy formation outside the city wall! It's like a giant stumbling and pulling backwards—and its body is about to fall forward.

Seeing this, the cavalry swung their swords and cut the ropes that connected the wooden foundations below the city walls, urging their horses back to the camp.

Lin Shaoge waved the black flag.

He finally stopped staring at the battlefield tightly, and with his free hand he gently twisted Bang Yue's face, smirking at her.

She was staring at the city wall with wide eyes, and when she saw that most of the city wall was slamming down towards the enemy army, she was so shocked that she half opened her mouth and took a few breaths of cool air.

Because of the night rain, the smoke and dust on the scene dispersed instantly.

When the black flag in Shi Xiang's hand fell, the Qiren army shook in unison, and in an instant, the lazy temperament disappeared, and all kinds of irregular weapons and equipment on them actually showed a rough and primitive sense of power.

With the shieldmen in front and the spearmen behind, the phalanx charged towards the large gap in the wall.

"Blew up their own walls with black powder...... Lin Shaoge, you are really wonderful. ”

"Passing the prize." His eyes burned and he fixed on the side of her face.

"What are you watching me do? ...... below" She stomped her foot in shame.

"It's okay for a while." He casually picked up his hand, "Knocking out two formations is enough for them to mess up - if they're lucky enough, maybe they won't have to fight later." ”

Bang Yue turned her head to look down in a daze.

Before the two armies met, how could he assert that he could defeat the two armies of the other side?

Under the broken city walls, I don't know how many enemy troops were pressed. From a distance, it didn't feel terrible—it was as if a matchbox had fallen in the middle of a large swarm of foraging ants, apparently weighing down somewhat, startling the rest of the ant colony.

"This is what you asked Zhang Yue to do on the southern city wall?"

"Hmm."

As he spoke, the Qijun had already stepped over the collapsed city wall and rushed into the chaotic enemy formation.

The enemy army at the head was originally two circles, and some of the shield soldiers in front of the formation climbed the wall and fell into a meat shield, and the other part was crushed into meat pies when the wall fell, and the most exposed at this time were either swordsmen or archers.

With shield men at the head and pikemen behind, the odd army rushed into the enemy's formation, as if entering a no-man's land!

On top of the spear, a large number of enemies who had lost the protection of shield guards were provoked, and the enemy's counterattack was all hit on the shields of the discrete people.

The two colorful phalanxes rushed straight in front of the shield soldiers in the enemy's rear, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

The enemy commander reacted quickly, and when Qiren launched a charge, he had already caused the rear shields of the two circles in front of him to turn around, ready to meet the attack of Qiren, and at the same time outflanked the two intact army formations on the left and right, and led one army formation to the rear of the two defeated circles. As long as the Qi army is held back for a moment, the three army formations can complete the encirclement.

Bang Yue noticed that the situation was wrong, and when she was about to speak, she saw Lin Shaoge idly take out the yellow flag, and he didn't look back, but waved it down.

The Qi army, which was maintaining the momentum of the charge, stopped very abruptly, and the formation was not chaotic at all, and retracted silently into the collapsed city wall like a low tide. However, the enemy's encirclement failed, and the three army formations were united in one place, ready to attack.

In the first round of confrontation, the enemy's two army formations were completely crushed, and the enemy's casualties were estimated to be 3,000. About 3,000 men remained, under the cover of three other corps, and withdrew to the rear to rest.

Obviously, there was no "good luck" in Lin Shaoge's mouth, and after the three enemy formations were closed, they pushed towards Shili Village without hesitation.

Bang Yue gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

The reason why he was able to easily defeat the enemy's two military formations was entirely because of the words "surprise", and his own side also paid the price of an entire wall. I have to say that in fact, the first credit should be given to the commanders of the two military formations - if they hadn't ignored the commander's orders and acquiesced in the soldiers rushing to the city wall in a chaotic formation, they would not have fallen into a trap and were easily defeated.

Bang Yue thought to herself, the one who commanded these two army formations must be the original military masters of these two legions. Only they dare to ignore the orders of the rear commanders. From this point of view, the so-called commander is actually just a false name, and the two military masters only maintain superficial compliance on weekdays.

So...... What is the other party doing when he sends food and arranges for these two reckless military masters to come up and send them to death?

It can't be that this kid is deliberately releasing water, right?

Who would deliberately release water?

Xie Taning?

Bang Yue looked at Lin Shaoge hesitantly: "The boss...... It can't be Xie Tanning, right? ”

Shaoge was slightly stunned, "How do you think it's Xie Taning?" ”

Bang Yue smiled: "I feel a little ...... Your son-in-law's playfulness. ”

Shaoge narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, smiled.

"It's not Xie Taning. But I probably know who it is. ”
