Chapter 166: Storming the Jade City
The wooden army no longer sent generals to meet the battle, but closed the city gate, putting on a stiff and stubborn jiashi, Zhang Bufan scolded for a while, seeing that the wooden army was not moved, he had to collect his troops and return to the camp.
At this time, the camp of the Jin army has not yet been completed, Bi Wu is commanding in the army, seeing that Zhang Bufan is back, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Zhang's army flag is victorious, and he has killed two generals of the Ning army in a row, and it is really hard to strengthen the morale of our army!"
"Haha! General Bi is polite!" Hearing Bi Wu's praise, Zhang Bufan smiled proudly, and then he said eagerly: "General Bi, let's attack the city now!"
Bi Wu shook his head and said, "Don't worry! Our army has just arrived in Fengcheng, and General Yuan Rang is not tired, but the soldiers below can't stand it, and it's not too late to rest for a while before attacking!"
When Bi Wu was talking to Zhang Bufan, he was also constantly thinking about how to break the enemy, and the Jin army under his command was more than 50,000 people, and how to take Yucheng with this amount of strength under his command has also become the biggest problem that plagues him at present.
The art of war is cloudy, three times more than the enemy can storm the city, their current strength is only 50,000, but the other side has 60,000, the strong attack is definitely not good, how can you capture the jade city in the case of your own loss is not large?
That night, Bi Wu and Zhang Bufan were discussing countermeasures in the Chinese military tent, and a strategist named Huang Fude found them.
As soon as he entered the account, Huang Fude said straight to the point: "Two generals, I have a plan, but I can break the Jade City!"
Bi Wu and Zhang Bufan's eyes lit up, the former beckoned at Huangfude, motioned for him to come close and speak, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Huangfu's plan is?"
Huangfude's gaze turned to Zhang Bufan and said with a smile: "This plan requires General Zhang's cooperation. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Bufan was stunned and said, "What do you need me to cooperate with?"
Huangfude's face was straight. I said my jihua as it was.
At first, Bi Wu nodded excitedly, but after a while, his face sank, and he shouted angrily: "Aren't you doing this to put General Zhang in danger?"
"But...... Checkmate. The only way to break the city this time ......" While speaking, Huangfude set his eyes on Zhang Bufan again.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bufan smiled, slapped his thigh hard, and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Huangfu's plan is very good, I am willing to be a bait!"
Bi Wu Zhengse said: "But I can't watch General Zhang go on an adventure!"
"Hey—" Zhang Bufan waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Bi, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
"That'...... Okay!" Bi Wu glanced at Zhang Bufan deeply again, took a deep breath, and at the same time did not forget to tell him to be more careful.
There was no word that night. The next day, the Jin army led by Zhang Bufan launched a large-scale siege.
It seems that the Jin army is imposing, and when attacking the city, it did not choose the weak point of the enemy's defense, but launched an attack in the east city, where the opponent's defense was the strongest.
Before the soldiers charged, the Jin army used trebuchets and crossbows to kill and wound the enemy to the maximum.
Bi Wu didn't intend to stay behind, and ordered his subordinates. Shoot all the stones and crossbow arrows in the army, and leave nothing behind.
Time. The Jin army's camp was full of rocks and arrows, and the attack was fierce, as if it was thundering.
The boulder fired by the trebuchet crashed into the city wall with such a loud bang that even the entire Jade City seemed to tremble. From time to time, the arrows from the crossbows were nailed to the city walls, crackling, causing the wooden army to scream incessantly.
Under such a sharp attack, there was no way to keep people in the city, and Sun Cheng retreated to the city as soon as possible under the escort of the surrounding generals. The rest of the wooden army and wooden generals also crawled to the city to avoid the attack of the Jin army.
The boulders and crossbow arrows of the Jin army were continuously fired for more than two hours, and finally came to an end, at this time, looking at the north wall of the jade city, it was smashed with thousands of holes, and the wall was also pit and pit together.
"General, the enemy phalanx is attacking—"
The wooden soldiers on the tower poked their heads out and screamed at Sun Cheng in the city.
Sun Cheng wiped the sweat on his head, took a deep breath, cheered up, and said: "All the soldiers of our army, go to the city with the general, even if they die on the battlefield, they will never let the gold thief enter the city for half a step!" As he spoke, he took the lead and ran towards the city wall.
Can the main general rush to the front regardless of life and death, and where are the soldiers below who are still cowering? The hearts of the Mu army were greatly lifted, and they shouted one after another to go up to the city wall again, set up a queue, and wait for the battle.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
At the head of the city, the Jin army formation composed of several corps began to advance with neat steps, although the speed was not fast, but the array was neat, and the red pressure was overwhelming.
Sun Cheng raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't release the arrows first, save the arrows, and follow my orders!"
For the wooden army, arrows are the root of life, if there are not enough arrows, the wooden army can almost only be slaughtered.
Soon, the Jin army's array had entered the range of the Mu army, but Sun Cheng did not give the order, and the Mu army did not dare to release arrows without permission.
Sun Cheng planned to release the arrows when the Jin army was close enough to the Jade City, so that he could save arrows and kill the enemy to the greatest extent, his strategy was correct, but the shortcomings of his ignorance of the characteristics of the Jin army immediately appeared.
In Sun Cheng's impression, the Jin army is an army that is a worm in long-range combat and a tiger in close combat, but in fact, the Jin army under Lin Haotian has already become a tiger and wolf army that can shoot arrows from afar and fight hand-to-hand at close range.
Sun Cheng didn't expect that at such a distance, the Jin army's arrow array could shoot to the city, he was not prepared, and the soldiers of the wooden army below were even less prepared, and were caught off guard by the sudden arrow array, but in an instant, the wooden army on the head of the city was shot down by the arrows, and the screams came and went.
Fortunately, the generals around Sun Cheng reacted quickly enough to protect him as soon as possible, otherwise even Sun Cheng himself would be affected by the arrows.
Oops, it's not good, the Wind Army shoots great arrows!
Sun Cheng was surrounded by his generals and retreated again and again, while shouting loudly: "Release the arrow, release the arrow quickly!"
Following his order, the wooden army at the head of the city fired ten thousand arrows in unison, and the black and oppressive arrows flew into the air, even the sun was obscured, and then they all fell towards the camp of the Jin army with a strong wind.
"Shield! Arrow Array—"
The commanders and commanders of the Jin army shouted in unison, and for a while, the red tassels on the Jin army's camp were gone, and they were all covered by black shields.
"Jingle Bell—"
The arrows slammed into the shield, crackling, and the sound of arrows piercing armor and the screams of people being hit by arrows resounded in the camp of the Jin army.
The entire Jin army camp is moving forward, and the shields of the soldiers cannot be monolithic, there are too many gaps between them, at this time, whether the soldiers can survive is no longer dependent on fighting skills or combat experience, but more on luck.
Pushing forward against the Mu Guo arrow array, this is definitely a nightmare that no one wants to experience, the swishing sound of the arrows flying down is like a life talisman, and the companion who was still standing next to you just now may be shot into a hedgehog in an instant, and the Jin army is stepping on the corpse of his fellow brother to move forward.
When the Jin army camp was about to approach the city wall of the jade city, someone under the shield roared and suddenly rushed out, this person was tall and strong, dressed in black armor, holding a silver spear, and rushed to the foot of the city wall.
For this, the wooden soldiers and generals at the head of the city can all recognize it, and yesterday it was he who beheaded two of his own generals, and after Sun Cheng checked, he knew that this person was Zhang Bufan, the deputy commander of the Second Army of the Jin Army.
Zhang Bufan rode his horse and rushed over, Sun Cheng on the city tower saw it clearly, he shouted at his subordinates: "Stop him! Don't let Zhang Bufan rush to the city!" He seemed to be clear in his heart, if Zhang Bufan was allowed to rush to the city head smoothly, then his own side would be finished.
Needless to say, many wooden soldiers have aimed their bows and arrows at Zhang Bufan under the city, and they all released their arrows.
"Hum—"
Shooting from top to bottom, the power of the arrows was virtually doubled, and Zhang Bufan was about to climb along the crossbow arrows inserted in the city wall, but was knocked back to the ground by the oncoming rain of arrows.
"Plop!"
Zhang Bufan's body fell heavily to the ground, and even he couldn't remember how many arrows he had received, but thanks to his profound cultivation of the Martial Arts, he was able to escape with his life.
The Wooden Army's arrow array is powerful!
Zhang Bufan got up from the ground, shook his head, and continued to climb without giving up, while turning back and shouting: "Give me the enemy's arrow array!"
When the Jin army behind him heard this, he immediately lowered his shield and fired back at the city.
At this time, the other party launched a life-and-death shooting. (To be continued......)
