Asuka and his men didn't get much time, but it was enough for the reinforcements of the two shes to retreat behind the second gate, and their record was not outstanding, but they ensured the safe retreat of the two sheks and the safety of the second gate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After breaking the gate, the Jiuxi soldiers rushed in, and the results of the previous reconnaissance had been reported to them, they knew that there were only some simple fences behind the gate, which could be easily bulldozed, and victory was already beckoning to them, and they only needed to take another step forward to get it.

It is a pity that at this time, the urn city of the Ba people was not what it was at the beginning, and the early fence had been replaced by an earthen wall.

The Minotaur and Jiuxi soldiers who rushed to the front saw a completely different scene from what they expected, they were really surprised, and they couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in their hearts, but at this time, there was no room for them to hesitate, and the people behind kept rushing forward, and they could only continue to be squeezed forward involuntarily, piled up in the center of the urn city.

The Urn City is one of the main defense facilities of the city during the Cold Weapon Age, which can significantly strengthen the city's defenses. This kind of defense appeared in the prototype of the Han Dynasty in China, and continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was not slowly eliminated until the era of hot weapons.

Generally, the urn city can be built outside the city or inside the city, or square or round, shaped like an urn, so it is called the urn city. In later generations, the urn city was usually equipped with arrow towers, gate gates, pheasant moats and other defensive facilities, but now after all, it is the Stone Age, and with the current productivity, it is quite rare to be able to strengthen such an urn city in about ten days.

The urn city of the Ba people was built in the city, forming a square and expanding on the basis of the original fence. Although the shape is no different from the side walls, in fact the strength is slightly worse, but even if it is slightly worse, it is not easy for the opponent to damage.

Except for the second gate at the back, there was no time to build other defenses on the urn city, but the basic battlements were still set up. The Ba archers were able to shoot at the enemy attacking the city from all directions with relative safety.

The attack troops of the Jiuxi tribe rushed in at the beginning, but they were blocked by the second city gate, and the people behind did not know the situation inside, but they kept pouring in, and soon the urn city was crowded with people, and the rain at this time did not stop, and the ground in the urn city was muddy.

Lo led a Qu Hunter team of soldiers to defend the Urn City, and the same number of ordinary soldiers could be ready to support. At this time, the walls of the urn city were already full of soldiers, and they didn't need to aim, they just needed to do their best to shoot the arrows as fast as possible.

The second gate could not be breached for a while, and the people behind kept squeezing in, and the people in the urn city were crowded more and more, some of them slipped directly into the muddy water, while others even the minotaurs became unable to move an inch, and they were crushed and unable to move, and it was difficult to even raise their shields, so they could only be shot in despair and then shot.

It wasn't until the people behind them finally figured out the situation inside that they began to gradually withdraw, and at this time, Weng City was already covered with corpses. In this battle, nearly 500 Jiuxi soldiers were killed in one fell swoop, and there were even seven minotaurs who were covered with arrows all over their bodies, and they couldn't squeeze out of the door until the blood ran out.

The losses in this battle were really heavy for the Jiuxi and Li Ju tribes, and they did not attack again for the whole afternoon after that. The Ba tribe neither repaired the gate nor cleaned up the corpses, so it was left open, posing as if they were allowed to come and go. This urn city is the last and biggest hole card of the Ba people.

However, the Nine Creeks did not attack again until the next day. This attack was different from the previous ones, the attacking troops were no longer suppressed with bows and arrows, but held their shields high, divided into small detachments one by one, and then formed a large formation to advance slowly, if this scene was seen by Zheng Jun, he would definitely be surprised, isn't this the tortoiseshell formation of the Roman army.

The full name of the tortoiseshell array is called the tortoiseshell fish scale array, which is famous for the use of the Roman army, but in fact, it is also used in ancient China, according to the record of "Zuo Chuan", the fifth year of Lu Huan Gong is 707 BC, and China has a record of the use of the tortoiseshell fish scale array, which is even much earlier than Rome.

The tortoiseshell fish scale formation is a kind of military formation that has certain requirements for discipline, responsibility, and courage, and this kind of military formation is very suitable for siege and has a strong defense against bows and arrows. But of course, it was difficult for the Jiuxi clan to really exert the full power of the tortoiseshell array, but at this time, they had learned a few points, which could be used to get close to the city wall.

Their formations advanced slowly in the heavy rain and stopped not far from the edge of the city, while the formations facing the gate continued to advance, one after the other, slowly forming a long line at the front, the rear end of which extended into the large formation at the rear.

The tortoiseshell array was completely protected in every direction except for the rear, and the heavy rain for several days also reduced the bow power of the bow and arrow, which minimized the effect of the Ba bow and arrow. But they were not in a hurry at all, they still moved slowly, not at all in a hurry, and under the cover of the shield, carefully removed the corpses in the urn city, and spent a morning clearing a passage.

After the passage was cleared, the shield array split to the sides, giving way to the center. A dozen minotaurs approached with large shields, covering each other and carrying a huge log. The giant tree has obviously undergone a simple treatment, and the front position has been sharpened, so that it is more powerful against the gate.

The tortoiseshell shield formed by the soldiers of the Jiuxi clan cannot be called perfect, and from time to time there are still bows and arrows shooting through the gaps, shooting down one or two unlucky eggs, but only a short muffled grunt can be heard, and then someone will immediately take his place, always keeping the shield array tightly defended.

The entire urn city could not hear the groans of the wounded or the fierce howls, and every warrior of the Jiuxi tribe remained silent, only the flying arrows of the brush, and the sound of the doom coming from the shield. And the most striking thing was the sound of the door banging, and with loud noises one after another, heavy pressure gradually began to appear in the hearts of the defenders.

It may be debatable whether war is the most effective means of promoting the development of science and technology in the world, but it is definitely the most effective booster for the development of tactics. Ten days ago, the army of the Jiuxi tribe could only be regarded as an impetuous rabble, but now it has a vague temperament of a regular army.

There was no way to hold out for too long for the second gate, and the soldiers on the walls elsewhere had been reduced to a minimum, and Lo lined up behind the second gate with the warriors of the Hunter team and the rest of the soldiers.

This will be the final battle to the death.
