Chapter 950: The First Battle of the Sniper Battalion

As night fell, the moon emerged from the clouds, shedding endless light.

Chang'an City shines brightly under the moonlight, and the Buddha is draped in a layer of silver veil, silent and silent.

But the dancing torches on the city wall and the patrolling soldiers added a bit of solemnity to this tranquility.

A large number of troops came slowly, their steps uniform, all indifferent and silent.

The sound of footsteps resounded in the night sky, startling the guards of the city to raise their torches to check.

Not long after, the army came to a place outside the city and stopped, Xue Rengui did not move, looking at the front of his eyes full of war beating, cold, sharp!

The battle of Gongyue City was a defense, but this battle was an offense, but Xue Rengui was confident enough to win it.

Several military commanders rode over and stood side by side, waiting for military orders.

As far as the eye can see, there are more and more defenders on the city wall, stretching their bows and arrows, strictly guarding against death, and the torches held high illuminate the surroundings brightly, and all kinds of shouts come in bursts.

After observing for a moment, Xue Rengui sneered: "The enemy army is almost ready, attack as planned!" ”

Others were worried about the city wall defending too much, but Xue Rengui was different, worried that there were too few and not enough killing.

Others attacked at night quietly, and Xue Rengui's night attack came openly, for fear that the opponent would not know.

After speaking, the horse lance pointed to the sky.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The drums of war roared through the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers walked out of the military formation, holding shields to move forward, the shields are all big shields, not round shields, each big shield is two meters high, there is a lookout hole in the middle for easy observation, and a vertical forward, the whole person is blocked, not afraid of arrows at all.

A regiment, more than 1,000 people with shields stepped forward, a row of pins, like a wall moving.

The defending troops were shocked when they saw this scene, and the generals' shouts came one after another, and then countless crossbows flew in, dense like rain, with terrible screams, fierce, brutal, and indifferent.

Ordinary shields simply can't stop such a dense and ferocious shooting.

But the shield is different, the inside is a plank, and the outside is indeed made of steel, and it is extremely tough and cannot be pierced.

The furious crossbow slammed into the shield, sparks splashed, and the crossbow bounced off one after another, or fell to the ground, and the soldiers continued to advance some distance on the crossbow.

"Stop!" The regiment commander gave an order, and everyone stopped.

"Squat!" Everyone squatted down and pressed their bodies against the big shield.

"Jingle Bell!"

The crossbow loss continues, frantic and intensive.

Countless sparks exploded, splashed, and the sound made people's scalps tingle, but the big shield did not fall, blocking the dense crossbow attack and stabilizing the position.

Xue Rengui saw that everything was the same as expected, and his heart was determined, with this shield wall, the odds of winning greatly increased, turned his head to look at Wang Shengzhi who was waiting for orders next to him, and nodded.

Wang Shengzhi understood, waved his big hand, and rushed forward with a battalion of good archers who had been formed by the day, his body was lowered, and his feet were like flying.

The defenders on the city wall are all lost crossbows, and there are a lot of them, but the crossbows are all shot in a straight line, and they are blocked by the big shield, and the archers successfully rush to the back of the big shield to hide, which is safer.

The lookout hole is not large, but you can see the enemy on the city wall.

The archers had already been deployed, one by one skillfully drawing their bows and arrows, the arrows passing through the lookout holes to lock onto the targets on the city walls, the bowstrings pulled apart, and the bows rattled to the back of the bows, full of strength.

"Only shoot, let's go!"

Wang Shengzhi also locked up a general and gave a decisive order.

All the feathered arrows were out of their hands, very inconspicuous in the hazy moonlight, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, but each one was carefully selected from the army of more than 200,000 people, and the precision was extremely terrifying.

There are more than 300 people, one for each person, and 300 targets can be killed at one time.

The terrifying lethality suddenly frightened the defenders, and they all looked for a place to hide, not daring to show their heads easily, and even the crossbows that came up from the crazy attack were also stunned.

The sniper battalion was not satisfied and continued to shoot.

For a person with superb archery skills, as long as he can see it, he can't hide it at all, and he can't shoot it directly, not to mention that the feather arrow flies not in a straight line, but in an arc, and the feather arrow can't hide deeply, and the feather arrow can also be shot in a corner.

Two or three hundred more people were shot, and even the generals were not spared, and the defenders were so frightened that they crouched down one after another, not daring to show their heads.

Two or three hundred people at a time, how many two or three hundred can there be in the army?

It's not enough to kill!

Sniper tactics were introduced for the first time, but the power shocked everyone.

Even Xue Rengui, who was good at shooting, was taken aback, but soon his eyes lit up, and he opened a brand new military gate, and without the slightest hesitation, he looked at the commander of the Jinyi Guard Artillery Battalion who had been on standby for a long time.

The other party nodded knowingly, waved his big hand, and rushed up with people, each with two explosives bags.

According to the informant, the gates of Chang'an are blocked, and it is useless to blow up the door, so blow up the wall!

A battalion of men and horses took the opportunity to rush behind the big shield and stopped, and hid.

The archer shot again, and seeing that the city wall was quiet, and no one could see it, Wang Shengzhi decisively shouted: "Open-"

The large shields arranged in one body quickly opened, forming one passage after another.

The men of the artillery battalion quickly rushed up and went straight to the city gates.

"Put!"

Wang Shengzhi roared and threw over again.

The soldiers also threw one after another, and the defenders who saw the probe watching retracted in fright.

After shooting, everyone continues to shoot, it doesn't matter if you can shoot or not, suppress, it is more important to cover the artillery battalion to go up, the big shield plus sniping, there is only one purpose, that is, to cover the people of the artillery battalion to go up.

The defenders of the city were too dense to get close at all, let alone blow up the city walls.

The soldiers of the sniper battalion continued to shoot, not giving the defending troops a chance.

The defending troops thought that as long as they blocked the city gate, they were not afraid of bombing, and the opponent would not be able to come up, and as long as they did not use the ladder to attack, everyone would be safe.

Ignorance is the most important thing to kill!

The men of the artillery battalion took the opportunity to rush forward wildly, walked like flying, and soon came to the city gate.

The hole in the city gate is deep, and it is not a big problem to squeeze down more than 200 people, but don't think about it when you move around, everyone took out the explosives bag, held it high, and asked the people in front to help pass the hand and hand it over.

The people in front were responsible for stacking the explosives packages together, pressing them one by one, and soon piled up the entire city gate hole, in order to blow up the city wall, Xue Rengui went out.

Seeing that he had successfully covered up, Wang Shengzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his subordinates to stop shooting arrows and recover their strength.

Not long after, the defending troops probed their brains to observe the battle situation, Wang Shengzhi still didn't make a move, and reminded loudly: "It's all hidden, don't do it, paralyze the enemy for a while." ”

"Understood!" Everyone agreed one after another, carefully observing the enemy situation on the city wall through the lookout hole.

More people leaned out to check, and the city wall resumed its noise again, perhaps realizing the power of the big shield and not continuing to attack, and one of the generals shouted arrogantly: "There is a kind of battle that comes up, what kind of hero is hiding behind the shield?" ”

"Come on, grandpa will teach you how to kill!"

"Seed, shrunken turtle!"

"Come here!"

The sound of abuse was accompanied by ridicule, Wang Shengzhi was unmoved, and waited patiently, but a pair of tiger eyes stared at the entrance of the city gate, not blinking, for fear of missing something.

Not long after, a scheduled signal was issued at the city gates.

Wang Shengzhi was overjoyed, and when he waited for this time, he shouted: "Sniper battalion, archery cover!" ”

"Hugh Hugh!"

One after another feathered arrows roared away, precise and terrifying.

Rao is city garrison troops had already been mentally prepared, and more than 100 people had no time to hide, and they were shot in the middle, and the screams instantly resounded through the city wall, one after another.

"It's all hidden, the city gate has been blocked, they can't get in, don't panic!"

"Be careful, let them shoot, consume their arrows."

Some generals shouted orders to calm morale.
