Chapter 360: Siege
The night passed, and all that was left was the remains of the bonfire, and the dead bodies that had not had time to be cleaned up in the middle of the night. As the sun jumped out, Shu Tianyu also opened his eyes, carried his spear, walked out of the tent, and walked into the front of the more than 20,000 people.
The booth Lian Zhan had been waiting here for a long time, and the 20,000 snow army was waiting solemnly, standing in the cold wind in the early morning, looking at Hu Ziran's 20,000 army.
Hu Ziran and Cheng Luyu stood in front of the military formation, looked back at the sun that jumped out, and Hu Ziran said, "So as not to have many dreams at night, it is better to start attacking the city, lest when the Qianxue reinforcements arrive, it will be irretrievable." I guess the Beacon City has been prepared for a long time. ”
Cheng Luyu nodded and said, "Just do as you say, but you can't delay it for a long time." ”
And the booth Lian Zhan sat in the army, and saw Shu Tianyu wake up, ride a horse next to him, and say nothing, when he looked back at Qin Feng who was looking at the city, Qin Feng was still sitting on the battlement, bored looking at the military formation of the two armies.
"Knock, knock, knock"
Suddenly, in the cold wind, bursts of drums sounded, and the 20,000 troops in Hu Ziran's hands slowly followed.
"Kill, kill, kill!" With the sound of shouting and killing, the shield hand quickly formed a formation, forming a square formation with a width of ten zhang, this policy is not like the previous dense formation, but in the middle of the flow of oil one zhang wide gap, but in the front of the formation there is still a three-zhang thick shield wall.
Hu Ziran got off the horse and took a high shield in his hand, he is a master of foot combat, and now it seems that he is going to go into battle in person! More than 7,000 cavalry troops in the hands of Cheng Luyu are also ready to be prepared.
Cheng Luyu took over the command in Hu Ziran's hand, the commander beside him, the flag in his hand waved with Cheng Luyu's order, three thousand archers, quickly formed a circular arc array, and arranged a column of shield players before each formation, and surrounded Liancheng from the periphery of the semicircular trap designed by Lian Zhan at the booth.
Seeing that the battle of the booth was successful, the formation of the army in Lu Yu's hands had been arranged, so he ordered and said, "Bet!" ”。
"Humm, hum, hum!" The three thousand shieldmen in the middle of the middle pulled the shieldbearers in their hands from the ground, and stepped forward with the sound of humming, completely blocking the ten-zhang wide road, while the archers retreated to the sides, leaving two large gaps, and quickly stepped forward in the two-wing shield array in the second column, leaning against the shield array in the middle, to respond.
"Rush!"
Cheng Luyu had a cold drink in his hand, and suddenly the drum beat heavily, Hu Ziran took the lead, acting as the shield hand of the first column, listening to the heavy drum, and the roar of the captain came from behind him, which was the shield that lived in his own, and in the sound of the captain's order, he adjusted his pace and began to slowly walk towards the city.
"Up, throw!" The arc-shaped phalanx of archers on both wings, along with the command, the archers put their bows and leaned back.
"Put!"
The booth snorted coldly, and his own phalanx of archers quickly shot out the feather arrows in their hands, and when they heard the feather arrows whistling, they rushed towards the shield array of the Western Front Army.
The phalanx of archers of the Western Front Army with two arcs on both wings also shot bows and arrows at the same time, shooting at the middle of the Liancheng formation, and the arc-shaped projectiles on the two wings were more concentrated than Qianxue's flat projectiles. The first wave of feathered arrows came, and some of the archers and shield-bearers on both wings were pierced by the arrows.
As the Qianxue archers fired, the captain behind him roared, "Shield up!" ”
Except for the shield bearers in the first row, whose shields are erected, the rest of the shieldbearers raise their shields in their hands. "Oooo
The beard of the pioneers looked through the gap between the shields, and the road ahead had been sealed by the booth Lian Zhan with a large array of three thousand shields, and there were two shield phalanxes on both wings, and he roughly calculated that his shield hand strength was equal to his shield hand strength, as long as the beacon fire outside and the prince Bai Qiuying contained the defenders in the city, he and others still had a chance to annihilate the Qianxue army from the city!
Cheng Luyu sat on the war horse, looked at the booth Lian Zhan and Shu Tianyu in the center of the Thousand Snow Array, and smiled coldly.
Shu Tianyu saw Hu Ziran's offensive and said, "In front of this Liancheng is a flat land, although it is suitable for cavalry, but according to your current formation, it is only used to delay time." Booth Lian Zhan nodded and said, "No matter what, what we have to do is to delay the time, the longer the better, now the shouting and killing in the city is shaking the sky, and the army of the Western Front outside the city should have heard it, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will attack on the city wall." Shu Tianyu looked at the two wings that were constantly suppressed by the archer phalanx arranged by Cheng Lu Yu, and the archers who had suffered heavy casualties said to an officer beside him, "You go and give the order, send a team of shield players to the two wings of the archers to minimize the threat of the archers' flanks." ”
After speaking, Shu Tianyu looked at the booth and said, "Why don't you send someone to reduce the threat of the flank archers?" ”
At the booth, Lian Zhan looked at Shu Tianyu and said, "I can't be without stains." Shu Tianyu smiled lightly and said, "Can't there be no stains?" Are you afraid that your credit is too high and will be calculated by me Shu Dashuai and Qin Shuai? ”
At the booth, Lian Zhan sneered and said, "Yes, that's it." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Qin Feng above the city and said, "So I have to have a stain, and you can't have a stain." Of course, your ability is not inferior to mine, but one mountain does not allow two tigers, this is for the good of our booth, but also for the good of the Shu family. ”
Shu Tianyu smiled coldly, looked at the shield array that was slowly advancing, and said, "You are tired. At the booth, Lian Zhan did smile and did not deny it.
The shield in Hu Ziran's hand is wrapped in a wooden shield with iron paste, which is enough to have two inches, which is much larger than the shield in the hands of an ordinary shield hand, and it is also a lot thicker.
Hu Ziran was the first to be the one, constantly shouting the trumpet in his mouth, so that the entire shield array could maintain a rhythm to avoid chaos. "Phew!" When Hu Ziran shouted the rhythm, he only heard a pop, and a feather arrow shot through an archer beside him, and after the archer fell, the shield hand behind him immediately blocked the gap, and Hu Ziran's rhythm also slowed down a little.
The arrows continued, and the shieldmen led by the shieldman Hu Ziran kept soldiers falling, but they still maintained a uniform rhythm.
In the arc-shaped bow and arrow phalanx on both wings, the bows and arrows of the Qianxue phalanx were suppressed, and archers were constantly shot down.
Lian Zhan and Shu Tianyu at the booth immediately stepped on, didn't listen or ask, and looked at the middle of the formation.
Qin Feng, who was sitting on the battlement, jumped off the battlement and looked out of the city.
The smoke and dust outside the city ended, and tens of thousands of troops slowly came.
