Chapter 302: Four Attacks

The bombardment lasted about an hour or more. Gu Yinqi looked at the sea of fire on the other side's city wall, was very happy, and boasted to his subordinates: "Wait until you go to the top of the city, you will smell the aroma of barbecue." When the flames had subsided, he put on his black coat, mounted his horse, drew his saber, and commanded, "Attack on all fronts, with the cavalry bows and arrows covering, and the infantry all attack." Rush them!"

Jiang Yunhui was in a hurry. In most cases, this kind of swarm rushing is taboo when fighting. Not only is it easy to get confused and form a crowd and trample among one's own people, but it is also easy to be killed and injured by each other.

Even if the area of impact is open and the situation is favorable for the group charge, experienced commanders will have strategic reserves, ready to deal with contingencies. He then shouted to Gu Yinqi: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Marshal, leave some reserves, don't rush up!"

Gu Yinqi scolded: "Yesterday, it was because of your cowardice and incompetence that we paid so much loss but failed to move forward. Now that the enemy is already struggling to breathe, it is time to show the might of our army, what should we hesitate about?" did not adopt Jiang Yunhui's opinion, and insisted on launching what is known as the most violent blow in history.

Countless soldiers let out a roar that shook the ground all day long, and their momentum soared into the sky. Then, nearly 100,000 people crowded together and rushed frantically like the tide of the sea towards the seemingly pitiful walls of Mingyang Fort.

Soon there was a stampede between them, and some of the soldiers who were squeezed to the ground during the charge were trampled to death by countless feet that squeezed up behind them before they could even call for help. The cavalry and infantry also crowded and collided with each other, and the scene was chaotic.

Zhao Hui hoarsely beckoned the soldiers back to the city wall to organize the defense.

Seeing that countless ladders, flying claws, and hooks had been erected on the top of the city, the soldiers threw down the walls of the city wall with rolling logs, stones, arrows, and even buckets of boiling oil or porridge.

Beneath the city walls became a living hell. The soldiers of the Northern Union were crowded, and even if they saw something thrown on the city, they could not dodge. Everywhere beneath the entire city wall, there were terrible cries.

The first attack was crushed in less than half an hour. The retreating soldiers were terrified and scurried around like headless flies.

Gu Yinqi roared hoarsely, forbidding to retreat, and later even sent his own soldiers to act as a team of supervisors, slashing and killing the retreating soldiers, and finally stopped the chaotic scene.

Luo Ming, who was observing all this on the high mountain in the distance, couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said to the generals around him: "This commander is definitely not the person from yesterday! If we continue to fight like this, our strategic reserve force will not have to be dispatched, and it will be enough to rely on Zhao Hui and Quan Zhonghan alone." ”

The first charge was defeated so neatly, Gu Yinqi was a teenager after all, and he was stunned for a while when he saw that scene, his legs trembled, and he was speechless in shock. He asked Ding Zhenzhong tremblingly: "General Jiang, how can this be? How can it be like ......this?"

Jiang Yunhui comforted him with kind words, ordered someone to help him back to the rear to rest, and he took over the command and reorganized the army. He was disappointed with the performance of the trebuchets and ordered the logistics troops to tow them all. He then ordered the infantry to be concentrated in the center, with the cavalry following behind the infantry, and methodically marched in formation to launch a second assault on the castle's defenses.

This attack was much more decent than the first. Inspired by the sound of war drums, the soldiers approached the city walls in an orderly manner. The two sides soon began to shoot crossbows and crossbows.

The Northern Alliance's army was much larger in numbers than the defenders of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, and coupled with their well-trained military in peacetime, they soon gained an absolute advantage. Under the effective cover of a rain of arrows, the hoplites began to organize a descent into the city.

It's time for Jeon Chung Han to perform. Under his command, the soldiers of the Qilin Tiger Army came to the city wall of the pass in an orderly manner, and with the sound of one command after another, they bent their bows and arrows in unison, and began to fire a salvo at the enemy troops outside the pass.

Most of them were eliminated from the training camp of the Blue Dragon Flying Tigers after extremely rigorous training because they could not keep up with the requirements. Although they are difficult to meet the super-perverted requirements of the Flying Tigers, they are still much stronger than many ordinary soldiers.

In addition, the bow they used was a very special bow, which was made of refined steel condensation through the research of two masters, Liu Shiro and Jiemuer, and was specially made of cooked rhinoceros leather. Named the "Horn of Victory", this bow has a range of up to 500 meters and is the exclusive weapon of the Kirin Tiger Army.

The salvo of the Qilin Tiger Army had an immediate effect. The siege troops of the Northern Alliance did not put on heavy armor for the convenience of climbing the city walls, and as a result, the losses were quite large. After several volleys, countless arrow-hit people howled and screamed, and the army had to retreat.

Jiang Yunhui was inexplicable and ordered to organize a third attack. This time they approached the walls cautiously, intending to suppress them with arrows at a distance of about two hundred and fifty meters where they could use their bows to their fullest potential.

But what is doubly strange is that they were hit hard by the other side at a distance of three hundred meters. Jiang Yunhui, who was very experienced, found that the density of the other party's arrow rain definitely exceeded the scale of 20,000 people, and he was full of suspicions, wondering how could there be so many people on the other side? Moreover, the shooting distance of this bow and arrow also made him puzzled.

After much thought, he ordered the organization of a fourth attack. Although the attack on the second day was unsuccessful from the beginning and suffered heavy casualties, he did not dare to make the decision to stop the attack on his own. For the fourth attack, he ordered everyone to put on heavy armor and cautiously approach the walls.

This time they were not in a hurry to climb the city walls, but took full advantage of the large number of people on their side, and used bows and crossbows to suppress them for a long time at any cost. But strangely, this time the opponent did not use bows and arrows to counterattack.

It turned out that Zhao Hui expected that the other party would have this trick. After exchanging views with Quan Zhonghan early, the Qilin Tiger Army retreated to a distance of four hundred meters from the city wall to stand by, while most of the defenders on the city wall hid to avoid the opponent's edge.
