Chapter 501: Wave the Flag!

One breath passed, two breaths passed, three breaths passed, and Stuan found himself still lying peacefully in the pile of corpses, as if he had become a forgotten man on the battlefield.

Regardless of the arrows and crossbows flying over his head, it is possible that they were not coming towards him in the first place, why did the Bohai soldiers who followed him and should have rushed up a long time ago did not come up and trample themselves to death?

If people don't come up, why are the sounds of their shouts and howls gone?

The sound of shouting disappeared, so why did I hear a burst of groans and wails?

That doesn't feel right!

After lying quietly in the pile of corpses for at least five breaths, Shi Tu'an, who couldn't suppress his doubts and uneasiness at all, finally opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Stuan saw the blue sky, saw the white clouds, and felt the warmth brought by the first rays of the morning sun.

Being in the sea of corpses and blood, this ray of sunlight that is not too strong brings Shi Tu'an a unique feeling:

It's good to be alive!

At this moment, he felt that he was suddenly full of hope for life, maybe he could get away with surviving here?

However, Stuan had just had the idea of life, and the next moment, the blue sky and white clouds that appeared in front of Stuan's eyes disappeared, and the sunshine that brought him hope for life was also gone, replaced by darkness.

It was a black cloud composed of more than a thousand crossbow arrows more than a foot long and less than two inches in diameter, accompanied by a familiar and clear voice that appeared in my ears.

"Phew! Swish! Swish! Swish! Whew!"

Before Stuan could fully understand what was happening, the vanished blue sky and white clouds reappeared, and that ray of sunlight shone on his face again, shooting into his pupils, and the moment the bright light appeared, he instinctively closed his eyes again.

However, the moment he closed his eyes, a painful moan came into his ears, and the moment he heard the moan, Steuan's body directly stiffened.

The next moment, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body, it was not he who was hit by the arrow, and the source of the sound was also behind him.

Maybe it was instinct, maybe it was desire, maybe it was some other reason, and the ghost of Stuan suddenly got up and sat down in the pile of corpses on the battlefield like a resurrected corpse.

After sitting up suddenly, behind Shi Tu'an was the battle formation of the Tang Army, and in front of him was the Bohai Navy that was logically attacking.

Shi Tu'an has no eyes behind his back, so he can't see the changes in the Tang Army, but everything about the Bohai Navy, which should be on the offensive, is presented in front of his eyes.

Seeing the appearance in front of him, Shi Tu'an's pupils instantly dilated, his mouth opened, and the whole person was directly stunned on the spot.

Before Stuan could recover from his shocked state, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Phew! Swish! Swish! Swish! Whew!"

With the sound of familiarity trembling to the core, countless crossbow arrows flew from behind his back and flew over his head, once again obscuring the sun and the blue sky and white clouds.

Instinctively, Stuan craned his neck, as if to block the arrow/crossbow shots.

Although the neck is shrunk, it can play an extremely limited role in the large-scale rain of arrows in the face of this kind of completely illogical and irregular.

However, in fact, Stuan found himself being amorous and worried, because the crossbow bolt that could obscure the sky did not trend towards him at all, but flew straight towards the Bohai people, who were only a dozen paces away from Stuan.

Screams, wails, and groans of pain came again, and then disappeared again in a very short time.

At this moment, Shi Tu'an clearly saw the whole process of the crossbow bolt leaping, flying into the air, and hitting the target.

In Shi Tu'an's field of vision, each Bohai soldier in front of him had several short but hard crossbow arrows inserted into his body,

If that's all there is to it, the question is, these

The arrows are not distributed throughout the body, or evenly distributed on the torso and limbs, but are densely inserted into the face and neck of the attacker.

He never imagined that an arrow or a crossbow could shoot and hit with such speed and accuracy.

This degree of intensification made Shi Tu'an feel that his heart was being clenched tightly, as if he was going to be squeezed and rubbed like a sackcloth, and even breathing became a luxury.

Just when Shi Tuan felt that he was about to suffocate, that familiar voice struck again, and this time Shi Tuan did not shrink his head, because he knew that he was just himself, how could it be worth the Tang Army to fire a salvo with such a secret arrow and crossbow.

However, just because you don't get an arrow doesn't mean that someone won't get an arrow.

A moment ago, he was still in front of him a mighty, strong, brave, and energetic Bohai warriors, and the next moment, a whole two rows of Bohai people fell down with their heads up.

After being baptized by the Tang Army's crossbow arrows, the area is almost exactly the same as the place where he is lying.

The Bohai warriors, who had been like wild beasts a moment ago, were already lying on the ground.

Some are dead, some are still shaking, and some are moaning, but the pain of this moan is extremely painful.

After about three or four breaths, another round of crossbow bolts flew over his head, repeating the past again.

In less than ten breaths, hundreds of elite Bohai warriors fell in front of him without resistance, and after seeing this scene clearly, Shi Du'an almost didn't have his own consciousness,

After another three or four breaths, the next round of crossbow arrows struck, and the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air was still the same, but Shi Tuan no longer had any thoughts, and the whole person continued to sit in the middle of the corpse in a daze.

……………………

In front of the city gate on the east side of Xiangping, Zuo Weiwei and Andong's army went out of the city, and Zuo Weiwei's arrow array blocked the surging Bohai people outside the contact line.

The main camp of the Bohai army was located in the east of Xiangping City, but in order to realize the siege of Xiangping, Xu Yaode, who commanded the Bohai army, set up a camp in the southwest and northwest of Xiangping City, with 10,000 soldiers.

Although these two camps have become a situation in the protracted fighting, they are still one of the possible threats.

When the guards of Zuo Weiwei and Andong Duhufu attacked, the city gate on the west side of Xiangping City was also opened, and 20,000 guards including Weihaiwei, Rongchengwei, and Jinshanwei attacked.

In the main direction, the Bohai people entered the state of vacation in advance, and the side camp direction was already a mere formality, while the Tubo people already seemed to enjoy the holiday time.

It is true that the guards of the coastal defense are somewhat inferior in combat effectiveness in land warfare, but the main factor for this is the gap in equipment and training.

In terms of tactics, discipline, and execution, although the guards of the coastal defense were not excellent, they also met the minimum standards of the Tang Army.

After a swift and effective sortie, the two Bohai camps stationed on the west side of Xiangping City were surrounded separately.

At the moment when they were just surrounded, the Bohai people in the two camps panicked, but after discovering that the Tang army was only besieging but not attacking, the Bohai people in the two camps were also relieved, and tacitly maintained a confrontation with the coastal defense outside the camp.

……………………

The battle east of Xiangping City was cruel and tragic, and the sub-battlefield west of Xiangping City presented an eerie calm that should not have appeared.

Li Yu stood quietly on top of the tower at the east gate of Xiangping City, with a happy face, quietly observing the battlefield.

Two giant red flags, two giant black flags, were held by four soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, and two relatively thin trumpeters stood quietly behind Li Yu.

Further outward, several lookouts with binoculars in their hands were constantly observing the surrounding situation from the moment the battle began, and reporting to Li Yu in real time.

When Shi Tu'an, the centurion of the Bohai Navy, had a complete mental breakdown and sat in a daze in the pile of corpses, the two lookouts walked in front of Li Yu one after another, and then stretched out their hands in front of Li Yu and pointed out of the city.

Follow the lookout hand

In the direction he pointed, Li Yu picked up his telescope and looked over.

The next moment, Li Yu's tense face suddenly relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be a little more relaxed, and then a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the four flag bearers behind him also moved.

And these four standard-bearers are the way Li Yu used to deliver messages and give orders.

Strictly speaking, the information that two red and two black, and the four flags can convey is not much, but it is more than enough for the current occasion.

More importantly, the four huge banners, located on top of the towers, were enough for everyone on the battlefield to see, from the foot soldiers on the front to the cavalry outflanking on both flanks.

Soon, above the tower, a black flag and a red flag began to shake at the same time.

And this means that led by Mo Lingjun and Dong Jia, on the left and right wings, nearly 40,000 cavalry have arrived at the position and have been outflanked.

Mo Lingjun and Dong Jia naturally knew their location, but when they saw that the other party had arrived at their position, their hearts were naturally stable.

After all, this time it was not a long-distance attack, although there was no need for two horses to transfer, and although the Bohai Navy did not strengthen its defense, it was not easy to lead the horse slowly under the nose of the enemy.

After confirming that the other party was also in place, Mo Lingjun and Dong Jia ordered the soldiers and horses under their respective commands to feed the horses, and prepare for the attack while taking the final rest.

Compared with the flanks, on the battlefield in front, two flags were seen, and the cavalry who knew it was in place, Lin Yu immediately arranged tactics according to the pre-plan.

First, the crossbowmen, who had been shooting for some time, stopped firing.

Next, the crossbowmen, archers, light infantry, and Mo sword soldiers in the Zuo Weiwei battle formation began to readjust their positions, adjust their ranks, and move forward as a whole.

The infantry battle formations on the left and right sides of Zuo Weiwei began to slowly move towards the two wings, and the Mo Dao soldiers began to slowly move forward.

With Lin Yu's adjustment, the area of open space in front of the city gate on the east side of Xiangping is gradually expanding.

At the same time, the cavalry in the urn city also began to feed the last handful of polished rice in their hands to the mouth of the war horse according to the order, and then put on the iron jacket and mounted the horse with the help of the auxiliary soldiers next to them.

……………………

After waving the two flags, one red and one black, all the Tang troops began their final preparations under the order, but the Bohai people, whose command had been paralyzed, were unaware of this.

Not only that, but instead of paying attention, Lin Yu's adjustment made the Bohai infantry feel an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the disappearance of long-range coverage, these Bohai foot soldiers, whose nerves suppressed by Zuo Weiwei's heavy crossbow were about to collapse, began to rush forward frantically.

In the time of more than ten breaths, the Bohai infantry at the front had already advanced more than a dozen steps, coupled with the overall forward movement of the Zuo Weiwei battle array, so that the distance between the Bohai people and the Mo Dao soldiers was only thirty steps.

At this moment, the eyes of the Bohai infantry were red, almost exactly the same as those injured beasts, even if they were those Mo Dao soldiers who were armed to the teeth, these suppressed Bohai infantry were also awe-inspiring.

Unconsciously, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to about twenty paces, and at this time, Shi Tu'an, who was paralyzed in the pile of corpses, was not surprisingly in the way of the advance of the Bohai soldiers.

Facing this Bohai Navy centurion who appeared here inexplicably, his spirit was completely broken, and he was paralyzed in the pile of corpses, the first Bohai Naval soldier was slightly stunned, and flew directly over Shi Tu'an's head.

Luckily dodged the first person, and Steuan's luck ended here, after all, not everyone has such good skills and such a quick reaction.

However, it was not only Shi Tu'an who ended his good luck, after crossing Shi Tu'an with his skills and reactions, when this Bohai soldier landed, he stepped on the arm of a Bohai man who was tragically killed by an arrow.

Next, after the ankle bent and lost the center of gravity, the whole person fell directly to the ground, and the face of the unlucky man who fell to the ground was distorted, and the two emotions kept lingering on his face, pain and fear.

I don't know if I saw the tragedy of the previous person, or

was cruel by nature, and the second red-eyed Bohai soldier did not hesitate or pause at all, and was kicked directly with a heavy kick.

With a "click", Stuan's right shoulder was almost directly kicked to pieces.

Under the great pain, Steoan finally recovered from his state of confusion, but after a moment of soberness, after realizing his situation, Stuan's face was filled with fear.

However, before Stuan could turn his fear into a shout, another kick was directly kicked in the head.

With this heavy blow, Steuan's two eyeballs shattered instantly, the bridge of his nose was directly kicked to pieces, and even Stuan's entire facial contour was distorted.

Then there were three, fourth, fifth......

When the fifth day came, the once mighty and brave Stuan was lying on the ground like a ravaged rag bag.

Next, countless Bohai soldiers stepped over his body continuously, and then crashed into the defense line formed by Zuo Weiwei Mo's sword soldiers like a torrent.
