Chapter 388: Fire Attack
On the city wall, shouts of killing resounded through the void.
The besieging troops looked indifferent and cold, constantly controlling the crossbow fire, the crossbows flew away, dense like rain, and put the rebels who tried to rush up the city wall to the ground, and the corpses on the ground piled up, becoming an obstacle, but blocking the speed of the rebels' charge, screams, wails and wails.
The rebels are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death, and they are frightened by the fear of being shot by the crossbow, and their morale plummets and they retreat one after another.
An army of archers rushed over and fired at the walls, and many of the soldiers fell.
On the city wall, Cheng Chuliang was furious when he saw this scene, and shouted: "Fang Yiai, continue to attack, don't stop, the rebel archers will be handed over to Lao Tzu." ”
After speaking, Cheng Chuliang almost shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, rebel archers, kill me!" ”
"Hugh Hugh!"
As soon as the soldiers raised their hands, they shot wildly at the archers rushing in the distance, and countless crossbows were lost like a torrential rain, and a large area was instantly put down, and the rebel archers who were killed were in a hurry, and there was a panic, followed by a large number of crossbows missing.
The output speed of the crossbow was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, five or six waves of attacks passed, and most of the twenty or thirty thousand crossbows were lost and put down, and the remaining archers panicked and retreated, but the rebels on the ground took the opportunity to rush up, how could Cheng Chuliang let the rebels succeed, and shouted: "Brothers, the rebels are coming up, kill Lao Tzu!" ”
The soldiers did not hesitate to suppress the crossbow, and shot at the rebels who tried to rush up, instantly put down a large piece, suppressed the position, and a few rounds passed, and the rebels who were killed retreated, but the rebel archers began to behave again, and were quickly organized by a general, ready to release the arrows.
At this time, Niu Jinda climbed the city wall with five thousand archers.
Cheng Chuliang saw it clearly, and shouted: "General Niu, quickly, organize your people to shoot the rebel archers." ”
Niu Jinda saw that the rebel archers were attacking Fang Yiai's attacking troops, trying to organize, and reacted instantly, shouting: "Listen to my orders, target the rebel archers, shoot freely, kill!" ”
The 5,000 archers who climbed the city wall were all government soldiers, but when they went up to the city wall and saw that the rebels were pressed dead in the city, they could not rush up to threaten themselves, and they were suddenly bold.
With the addition of 5,000 archers, the rebel archers were suddenly shot in a chaotic formation, unable to concentrate on attacking the attacking troops led by Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai had no influence, and commanded the troops to rush and fight, like a bamboo, and ran over all the way.
Cheng Chuliang didn't have to cover for Fang Yiai, the pressure was greatly reduced, and he commanded the troops to keep up, leaving a team to guard every step of the way, the steps on the city wall were not wide, and at the same time, there were not too many people, and it didn't take too many people to defend it with a crossbow.
On the other side, Li Yixie also rushed very hard, rushing forward against the threat of a small number of rebel archers on the city wall, completely desperate for his life, relying on the advantage of fast crossbow output, the rebels killed were defeated and retreated.
Rushing all the way through, stepping on corpses and blood.
The rebels soon couldn't resist it and rushed down to the city one after another, but Li Yixie didn't care, and continued to attack and fight.
Soon, Li Yixie and Fang Yiai killed together, the two sides stopped, and as soon as they combined, the forces extended back, opened up some distance, and assisted the brother troops to shoot the rebels below.
Taking the city wall means being able to condescend and shoot the rebels in the city, and it also means surrounding the rebel regiments from a high place, and the rebels in the city are completely panicked and looking for a place to hide.
The area of the city is very large, and there are many mud houses, so it is really not easy to find them when you hide in them.
As for the local people, they have long been hiding at home and dare not come out.
With no target, the soldiers stopped shooting and waited for battle.
Niu Jinda took the opportunity to order five thousand archers to distribute the feather arrows they brought, so as to avoid running out of everyone, while observing the city, with experience, he quickly locked a few buildings, and estimated that it was in the government and the barracks and warehouses, and it would definitely not work to go down, there were too many rebels, and they would be dragged down and fall into street fighting.
The next moment, Niu Jinda had an idea, and immediately ordered a person next to him: "Order Fang Yiai and other generals of the army, let them burn those tall buildings with rockets, which should be in the government office, barracks, and treasury, and do not move the people's houses to force the officials out." ”
"Obey." The other party said yes and hurried away.
The main generals were all dressed in expensive chain mail, which was instantly recognizable, and orders were quickly heard.
Not long after, the soldiers who were closer to the government office, barracks and treasury took action, ripped their clothes from the corpses of the rebels, wrapped them around the arrows and tied them tightly, lit them, shot them out, and landed on the roof.
The roofs are a mixture of dry grass and earth, and the grasslands are very dry in this season, and the grass burns a little bit and burns more slowly, but it can't stand more and more rockets, and many rockets accidentally shoot into the room through the window, and the room also burns.
Thousands of rockets were fired, and the fire grew larger, and smoke rose in many rooms.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers were overjoyed and shot rockets even harder.
Gradually, some of the houses started fires, and when the wind blew them, the flames opened
It began to spread, lighting more rooms next to it, and thick smoke billowed out, smoking out the people inside.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the rebels couldn't hide.
A group of rebels rushed to the city gate, trying to break through, but the soldiers had already arranged, the city gate was closed, and there were more people at the city gate.
Soon, the rebels found that the north gate was not blocked, and even if they knew that there was fraud, they had to run from the north gate, otherwise they would be burned to death by fire without surrounding, and a large number of cavalry opened the way and rushed forward along the main road.
The soldiers did not stop the rebels from leaving the city, and did not mean that they would give up the attack, and countless crossbows and feathered arrows were killed, taking the opportunity to bring down a large area, but unfortunately there were too many houses on both sides of the street, blocking the view, and the damage was limited.
At the moment of life and death, the rebels also began to go crazy, rushing forward with shooting, followed by the cavalry, then a large number of carriages, I don't know what to carry, the carriages were followed by a large number of steppe cavalry, and then infantry.
However, it is equally unsafe outside the city.
Shi Yeshan, who had been impatient for a long time, saw the rebels coming out, his eyes instantly became fanatical, staring at him, searching for the big fish, and his eyes quickly locked on one person, the other party was wearing chain mail and a mask, wasn't that the characteristic of the king of rest? Suddenly he became short of breath and shouted: "Brothers, attack the formation, follow me!" ”
"Kill!"
The soldiers drew their scimitars one after another, beat their horses and rushed over, and joined behind, and those who did not have scimitars also had two straight knives in their hands, learning to hold them horizontally from the people in front, and rushed forward with the army.
Shi Yeshan's eyes locked on the masked target, and his blood was boiling with excitement, Feng Hou Bai was here to fight, turned around and roared: "Brothers, follow Lao Tzu, sprint!" ”
"Kill—"
10,000 cavalry swarmed up, like wolves and tigers.
The rebels were shocked when they saw this scene, and they desperately beat their horses and fled, and a cavalry came up to stop them, Shi Yeshan was angry, if he was stopped, wouldn't he run away from the king of Xi?
"How can this work?"
Shi Yeshan was furious, and led the army to rush towards the intercepting team, no matter if it didn't work, he would fall into passivity, and his anger turned into a strong killing intent.
When the other party saw that Shi Yeshan was going to play with his life, he was also angry, and rushed up.
The two horses were staggered, and the rebel commander slashed at Shi Yeshan's head, Shi Yeshan reluctantly lowered his body to avoid the fatal blow, and the longitudinal horse rushed towards the opponent, and the sharp scimitar tore a big gap in the opponent's thigh.
"Ahh
The other party let out a miserable scream, looked down at the wound, the whole person was not good, and then saw that the opponent had run away, and did not stop fighting at all, what kind of tactics is this?
Before he could react, another horse rushed from the other side, almost clinging to the horse's neck, and the sharp scimitar pulled the other leg of the warrior through a gap.
"Ahh
Another heart-rending scream rang out, and the man throbbed in pain and fell off his horse, but more cavalry rushed and trampled him to death.
Countless rebels were cut off their horses like commanders, trampled on thousands of horses, leaving corpses in their wake.
Shi Yeshan led the people to rush and fight, killing the rebels who came up to intercept them, and continued to rush forward without looking back, regardless of the situation behind him.
The soldiers also remembered the essence of piercing tactics, hiding themselves and charging quickly, regardless of what was behind them.
"Kill—"
10,000 light cavalry rushed forward like a stormy wave, drowning the rebels.
