Chapter 137: Fierce Battle
The other side......
With Xia Qi's warrant, the guard hurried all the way, and in less than half a day, he came to the outside of Silkworm City. ……
"Who's out of the city? Get your name in! ”
"I am the guard of His Majesty's palace, and His Majesty's warrant is here, open the city gate quickly!" As the guard shouted, he held the warrant high in his hand.
Hearing this shout, Li Chuan, who happened to be patrolling the wall at this time, first confirmed it, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!" ”
The gate of Qingyan City slowly rose, and after a group of guards entered, a group of people led by Li Chuan walked over quickly.
I saw Li Chuan say politely: "The stakes are very high, and I hope not to be surprised." ”
Although he is the lord of a city and shoulders the heavy responsibility of peace in the northwest of Great Xia, he can't be too bullying in the face of this guard.
After all, the other party is His Majesty's guard, and he has to meet His Majesty every day, and when the time comes, he will casually say a few bad things about himself to His Majesty, but I am afraid that I will not have a good time.
"The general is gracious!"
The guards also behaved very politely, but Li Chuan stretched out his hand to pay attention to His Majesty, and he was a small guard, but he didn't dare to blow up in front of the other party.
After reading the contents of the warrant, Li Chuan did not dare to delay, and even gathered most of the teams of the three cities in the northwest, and then went to Mustang City.
As for why he went to Mustang City instead of going directly to Qingyan City, because that guy Xiong was there at this moment to stay with Qingyang.
And with the passage of time, on the grassland, outside Qingyan City, a new round of siege battles started again, Yang Hui's fierce attack for several days made the defending troops of Qingyan City more and more difficult to defend, just when Silan was thinking about whether to take the initiative to expose his whereabouts and attract the attention of a wave of enemy troops, so as to make them have scruples and slow down the progress of the siege, Kelie finally led the army to come.
This guy led the army to the grassland some time ago to practice, and it was too late.
Leaving aside the fact that they didn't like each other, no one could deny that the archers led by Kereh were strong, and he did need the cover of the archers.
"Over there?"
Looking at Qingyan City from afar, Keree led his archers to approach quickly, at the moment when the enemy's figure appeared in his sight, Keree frowned, he could clearly feel that this group of men and horses was not easy to deal with, huge shields and sharp spears can effectively contain the charge of the light cavalry troops, it can be said that it is quite aimed at the light cavalry troops of Silan, but for his archery troops, this is also a tricky target.
Suddenly no longer in the mood to make fun of Silan, Kree made a move and ordered: "Pass the order, all the staff take a hanging attack!" ”
A rain of arrows fell from the sky and directly attacked Yang Hui's siege troops, causing a certain degree of casualties among the soldiers under his command.
"Have the reinforcements arrived?"
In the face of this wave of arrow rain attacks, Yang Hui's whole person was quite calm, after all, he was an old driver of the bronze rank, and he would not be confused because of a wave of attacks, calculating the time, it was purely normal for the reinforcements of the opposing player to appear, if they did not appear, it would be strange.
"Big shield troops, all raise shields for defense!"
A mere rain of arrows, for Yang Hui has nothing to fear, the archers' strong dominance on the battlefield is basically limited to the ancient period of unranked, at that time, if you can get a team of archers, players can do whatever they want to a large extent, but with the emergence and upgrading of armor, the dominance of this ranged class on the battlefield has obviously begun to plummet.
The iron-clad shield wall made the muscles in the corners of Kree's eyes twitch in the distance, and this wave, his archers' troops could undoubtedly only cover for that guy in Silan.
At this thought, Keree waved his hand and led the soldiers under his command to start their best cavalry and archery style, while moving, they kept opening their bows and arrows, wanting to add a little blockage to the large shield troops on the opposite side through this high-speed moving shooting method, and with this style of play, their figures were naturally inevitably exposed to the enemy's field of vision.
"! Archers! ”
Yang Hui, who suddenly killed the archers, looked at it with envy in his heart, he originally thought it was an archer, but he didn't expect it to be an archer, it is no exaggeration to say that this force with both mobility and range advantages undoubtedly has the ability to block him.
At the same time, it is not easy to get such an archer army, and he has to spend a lot of time and resources, and now, a shortcut is in front of him, as long as he breaks through Qingyan City behind him, then he can probably have anything! Suddenly, in Yang Hui's eyes, the Qingyan City in the rear had already become a huge treasure mountain that he coveted.
Defeat it, you must knock down this city, and then grab all the people and resources in this city!
Between the thoughts flying, Yang Hui quickly judged the situation, in the face of the iron wall defense of the big shield soldiers, the rain of arrows of the archers did not pose much threat to him, but on the contrary, he had no way to take the archers.
In this way, the best way is to ignore it, and set aside a part of the big shield soldiers to resist the arrow rain of the archers, and at the same time let the archers in the rear symbolically counterattack, Yang Hui decisively commanded the rest of the troops to continue to attack the city, and when the city gate is broken, when he leads his troops into the city, with the city wall as a support, what threat can an archer cavalry force that cannot attack the city pose to him?
This idea is very beautiful, but the reality is undoubtedly much more skinny, and Silan, who has been waiting for a long time in the distance, will give him this opportunity?
Yang Hui didn't have time to react at all, with the hooves of the horses, the speed of the light cavalry troops under Si Lan soared all the way, and at the moment when the speed soared to the extreme, they had already turned into the sharpest sharp knife on the battlefield, mercilessly cutting the enemy's throat, accompanied by splashes of blood, crushing an entire archer army in the opponent's rear row!
After decades of hard work, once they returned to the pre-liberation period, for them players, the most exciting thing is this, raising troops for months, or even several years, may be fought in a battle, and they will all be gone, which is really not a joke.
"!!"
At this time, Yang Hui was undoubtedly experiencing the ups and downs of his life, the five hundred archers troop, under the second section of the light cavalry unit, died a clean and neat one, just thinking about it, his heart was dripping blood, training archers is not as easy as cultivating ordinary infantry!
Yang Hui, who didn't know that the players defending the city were not present at all, thought that this was the pit that Xia Qi dug for him, so angry that he burst into a foul mouth on the spot, and with a mouth cannon, he directly let Xia Qi, who was far away in Great Xia City, innocently lie down.
"Fence it off! Big shield troops, enclose the whole formation! ”
Yang Hui cursed Xia Qi in his heart, while constantly commanding the big shield troops to form a defensive line.
At this time, the weakness of his "contradictory combination" was undoubtedly exposed, and the weakness that was simply touching became a hard wound that this force could not avoid, and even changing the formation became extremely difficult and troublesome.
And during this period, Silan's light cavalry troops and Kere's archery troops will not sit idle to watch them change formations, and the two cavalry units known for their mobility are constantly roundabout and constantly harvesting, which looks at each other unpleasantly, and the two who think about winning each other all day long, after pinching their noses and cooperating, it is an unexpected tacit understanding.
Under the pressure of the two cavalry units harvesting back and forth, Yang Hui, who had finally adjusted the formation, had a gloomy face that was almost dripping, and just now, his total strength had shrunk by about a quarter.
But fortunately, the formation was finally completed, and at this time, Yang Hui did not hesitate to rely on a sufficient number of large shield soldiers to set up an iron bucket array, and at the same time, sharp spears continued to pierce out from the gap between the big shield and the big shield, which was completely a posture that whoever approached me, I would scare whom.
Realizing the threat of the spears, Slan and Kereh decisively led their cavalry to retreat, and Kereh even signaled everyone to exchange their weapons back to bows and arrows.
Looking at the two cavalry units that kept detouring around his iron bucket array, Yang Hui in the iron bucket formation saw that his facial muscles twitched, and he secretly complained in his heart, he was planted this time, and he shouldn't be greedy for that little war horse resources.
But fortunately, the advantage of restraint in the arms is still there, he can't help the other side, and the other side can't help him, unless there are infantry troops to support him, but in the face of his continuous siege for several days, the defending troops in that city have long been unable to fight anymore.
As soon as he thought of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed decisively in Yang Hui's eyes!
"Maintain the iron bucket formation, push the siege engine, and force the siege for me!"
He can't escape from this machine, he can't outrun the cavalry at all, so in this way, there is only one way to survive in front of him, that is, to capture the city in the rear, and then block the city gate, and defend this city, and then retreat after the seventh day.
Thinking of this, Yang Hui's expression couldn't help but become more hideous, he had suffered a lot of losses this time, after entering the city, if he didn't burn and loot, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
Looking at the advancing iron bucket array, Si Lan and Kelie changed their faces at this moment, and the other party's intentions were simply obvious, and it was clear that they wanted to storm Qingyan City.
The siege of the city for several days has already crumbled the gate of Qingyan City, who knows that the city gate can withstand the impact of the siege vehicle several times?
And Qingniu, the general of Qingyan City, who was also aware of this, also changed his face suddenly at this moment, and subconsciously looked at the eight bull crossbow on the city wall. However, after many days of defending the city, the heavy crossbow arrows for the Eight Bull Crossbows had already been emptied, and in desperation, he could only command the almost exhausted archers to shoot two more rounds, but with little effect.
Seeing that the gate of Qingyan City was about to be breached by the enemy, when Qingniu hesitated to burn the eight-bull crossbow on the city wall, and then retreat to preserve the troops, a soldier in the city who galloped forward brought him the news he wanted to hear the most!
"Report to the General! The reinforcements sent by His Majesty have arrived, and they have already entered through the other side of the city gate, and they are rushing this way! ”
Hearing this news, Qingniu's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and then he resolutely ordered: "Listen to my instructions and open the city gates!" ”
The crumbling gate of Qingyan City was slowly rising, this scene not only stunned Yang Hui and the others who were frantically attacking the city, but also made Si Lan, who was ready to use the momentum of the charge to forcibly attack the enemy's iron bucket formation and prevent the fall of Qingyan City, after retreating for a distance.
"What's going on! How did the gates open? ”
His eyes subconsciously looked at the wall of Qingyan City, and he just saw that Qingniu was constantly gesturing at him.
"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements arriving! ”
Reading the meaning of the other party's gesture, Si Lan was suddenly shocked, and then turned his head and shouted at Kree: "The reinforcements in the city have arrived, retreat some distance!" Get ready to outflank and block! ”
"Come with me!"
There is no nonsense, and when he heard this, he directly took the archers under his command and began to detour towards the periphery,
On the other side, looking at the gate of Qingyan City that took the initiative to rise, although Yang Hui was puzzled in his heart, but now, he has no way to retreat, but there are two cavalry troops waiting for him behind, in other words, retreat, a dead end! Forward, there is still a glimmer of life!
Thinking of this, Yang Hui also began to be ruthless in his heart.
"Maintain the formation and push the siege vehicle directly into it!!"
However, to his surprise, the collision of the siege vehicle actually hit a miss.
"What's going on! There are no garrisons behind the city gate to block the gate? ”
Yang Hui fixed his eyes and saw that there was no garrison blocking the door, there was simply no figure! Just as he was thinking this, there was a sound of dense footsteps, and he saw that on the street facing the city gate, an infantry unit actually came out of nowhere!
When the leader of the generals wearing bronze armor saw Yang Hui who rushed into the city, he immediately glared angrily, holding a bronze war knife in his hand, and rushed up all the way.
"The enemy will die!!"
