Chapter 68: The Battle Begins

Yanbei Pass.

Thirty miles away, the camp of the legal army, the white tent is like a cloud, and the black armor is like an abyss.

The mighty army of 200,000 law dynasties, divided into eight directions, the front army has arrived at the Yanbei Pass outside the forts, and the rear army is still in the north of Wolf Mountain.

The second prince of the law, the king of Zhendong, Chi Yan Gu Moying, is on the platform, wearing a pitch-black ink armor, decorated with a golden eagle, and the golden brown big air behind him is blowing in the wind, and his heroic posture is outstanding.

Under the stage, Mu Yehu, the general of the left front army, Chun Yu Duoduo, the general of the right front army, He Ruozheyu, the general of the Chinese army, and the general Zijin Yanning, the general of the forward army, were led by four people, and one hundred and twenty-eight military generals were lined up horizontally, and the forward army, the left and right front army, and the middle army, a total of 120,000 troops were arrayed outside.

Zijin Ning, whose forehead was wrapped in a thick layer of soft silk, knelt down and pleaded guilty.

A few days ago, Qin Yu's short crossbow, even if he scored one more point, he was bound to die.

Although it seems to be okay at the moment, there are many trances, unpredictable emotions, and it is difficult to heal as before.

After a few days of hard work, he knew that he was no longer fit to lead the troops.

This time, I want to ask Wang Shuai to remove him from the post of forward general and replace him with someone else, so as not to delay the fighter.

"Zijin would rather obey orders."

Chi Yan Gu Moying's voice was cold and flat.

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and he didn't speak quickly, but it didn't give the impression of procrastination.

As he spoke, his deep eyes swept to the audience, taking in the looks of all the generals.

He saw that some people were about to move, some people were immovable, some people had dark faces, and some people were angry and depressed.

Then he continued:

"With your front army, the whole army will go to battle, defeat the enemy and return the city."

Without waiting for Zijin Xianning to speak, he said again:

"Mu Yehu, Chunyu Duoduo, listen to orders."

"With the two of you, divide the attack on the enemy's left and right towns, and feint to block the enemy."

"The last general commands!"

Mu Yehu and Chun Yu Duoduo stepped out and took the order first.

Zijin Yanning, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Chi Yan Gu Mo Ying, his eyes were full of determination, and he got up and beat his chest, "The last general will take the order!" The enemy city is not defeated, and the last general will come to see him! ”

Chi Yan Gu Mo Ying nodded, and there was no emotion on Gu Jing Wubo's face, but he just handed a trusting look to Zijin Yanning, "After an hour, beat the drum and send out the troops." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd will respond.

The first three armies, 60,000 people, each out of the camp to line up, there was no noise, only the formation of troops, the sound of footsteps in the formation of formation, in the silence to kill the intention.

In just half an hour, the three armies each lined up in a phalanx of 25, with 800 people as a battalion, and 5 battalions of 4,000 people gathered into a large phalanx.

The forward army did not move, and the left and right front armies of Mu Yehu and Chunyu Duoduo had already been pulled, and the three large phalanxes pushed the nest cart, the Yiyun cart, the wooden mantle, the cloud ladder, the flying ladder, the crossbow and other siege equipment, and attacked the two towns of Yanbei Pass in a uniform manner.

On the Yanbei Pass, Yan Lun led the generals to set up the city again, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Order the Ma army, Nancheng assemble."

"The left and right rear armies are stationed on the three city walls in the east, west and south, and the soldiers of the Chinese army will all ascend the city immediately and garrison the north wall."

"The order was given to the left and right front armies, to defend the two towns, and the scattered battalions of the left and right Yu Hou Army were included in the front army. Order the left and right battalions of the Marquis Yu's army, and when the enemy retreats, retreat to the city, and then listen to the order. ”

As the legal army began to form a formation, Yan Lun's orders were also issued one after another.

When the army was pressing down on the city, it was a group of generals led by Han Sheng, who had always wanted to stand up for sternness, but no one sang any objections at this time.

One by one, they received orders in a solemn voice, which is rare and neat.

They also know in their hearts that if they can't resist this battle, no matter what they think, it will be in vain.

But trust is not something that can be exchanged instantly, especially the precedent of Qin Yu being left alone in the enemy a few days ago.

It was Yan Lun who immediately said: "General Han, in addition to the Ma army, the left and right rear armies and the left and right Yuhou army soldiers are all led by you, please be sure to protect the city." ”

Then he looked at the generals of the Chinese army, "This battle will be here, and he will not die or retreat!" If Ben will die, the city will be closed and will be taken over by Vice General Han. ”

After saying that, the resolute intent flashed in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Han Sheng again.

The right front general of the third army in Zhenbei, Zhao Baining, although he did not accept him, but he has been in the army in Yanbei Pass for 20 years, dedicated to war, and good at defending the city, he led the troops to garrison the right town, and he did not need to say anything more when he was about to fight, and he would not have the slightest slack.

Although the situation of the left front army is a little more complicated, with Leng Chen leading his own soldiers and supervising the battalion, there is no need to worry about his slack in avoiding the war.

Only in the city, although the generals of the Chinese army have the heart to fight, but they are not very convinced of him, how to not say in the past, this time he will come to the front, set an example for them, and advance and retreat together!

And Han Sheng and others, he is actually compromising and promised.

'I won't interfere with your people, and you won't hold me back in this battle, if we die, here is your final say, please defend this fortress.' ’

Han Sheng understood what he meant, Zhengse clenched his fists and took the order, turned around and led the generals of the left and right rear armies to the city.

Yanbei Guancheng has since been divided into two pieces.

Yan Lun and the Chinese army soldiers in the north city were waiting, and the Chinese army scattered battalions under the city, as well as the people in the city to recruit the people and the people were busy preparing the equipment to defend the city.

And Han Sheng sat in the general's mansion, dispatched the affairs of the three cities in the east, west and south, and assigned the soldiers and people to bravely climb the city to defend it.

"Knock knock!!"

Hundreds of drums of the legal army sounded, and the pace of the three armies slowly accelerated, from walking to trotting, and then to galloping.

The left and right front armies, each with two battalions of soldiers, took the lead in seizing the battle, two hundred steps away from the town, with a big shield, and rushed to the town in front of him.

In the town, more than a dozen stone cannons whistled, long poles flicked, accompanied by the sound of the soldiers' trumpets, throwing large stones over the city and smashing into the enemy's formation.

The wooden curtains and yuns in front of the legal army were smashed with a thumping sound, and some of them were directly scattered and disintegrated, killing many soldiers.

At the same time, on the town, hundreds of small bed crossbows that need to be used by two people to pull strings and one person to use arrows also exert force, one by one, five-foot crossbow arrows, shooting at the enemy formation, the first two battalions to climb the soldiers.

If you don't hit it, once you are scratched by this powerful crossbow arrow, your hands and feet will be broken, and your flesh and blood will fly, or you will die directly, and you will die.

The legal army who couldn't dodge in front of the battle, and the distance was close, and they were beaten by a string of two, a string of three, and there were also a lot of people, and it was not uncommon.

The legal army also exerted its strength, and the stone cannons shook the boulders, smashing them into the head of the town and the city, and the smoke and dust were splashed with rubble, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in the town also began to suffer casualties.

Taking advantage of the roaring stone cannons to cover the cover, the legal army ascended first and then accelerated, and at the same time, in the rear phalanx, a series of crossbows followed, and the crossbows were shot at the town with slams, but not to kill the enemy, but to nail into the wall, for their own troops to climb first, in order to climb with strength.

In the midst of the battle between the two armies, the legal army, which had been damaged by more than 30 percent, ascended first, and was already within eighty paces of the city wall, and saw that it was approaching the outside of the moat, and quickly gathered in one place again.

People rubbed shoulders with each other, and put the big shields in their hands into a wall of shields.

Within this distance, the large stone cannons in the city can no longer greet them.

With a bang, the five-foot crossbow bolt passed through the shield, and although the legal army had many casualties, he was not afraid, and even the people with the shield were used as a resistant, pushing forward slowly.

At the same time, in the rear phalanx, the legal army sent out four more battalions of soldiers, carrying shields and protecting the flying bridge, and quickly moved forward.

The leaders of the left and right towns immediately ordered the small stone cannons at the head of the city to be launched, and stones the size of human heads smashed towards the flying bridge like rain.

Moreover, the Zhenbei Army is worthy of the title of elite soldiers, and the stone artillery is skillful and accurate, four out of ten, obviously no matter what the internal situation is, the weekday drill has not been relaxed.

The legal army and the Zhenbei army fought frequently, and since they also expected it, the counterattack followed, and the stone cannons quickly adjusted, and one by one the big stones smashed into the stone cannons at the head of the city.

Gravel splashed, big shields flew, under the city, the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the two armies were blurred, and they could be seen everywhere, and the cruel scene of the battlefield had appeared.

However, the officers and men of the two armies did not care about any emotions rising, and life and death were sudden, and there was only one way to kill the enemy.

Three or five flying bridges were built by the moat, under the cover of the big shield, the noose was pulled quickly, and the shield array dispersed quickly, and as the flying bridge was built, it ran straight to the city.

The soldiers of the northern army defending the town, regardless of the threat of stone artillery, leaned over and shot arrows, and the rain of fluffy arrows fell on the head of the legal army first.

The legal army first ascended and hid under the city, erecting shield walls on the left and right, and inside were agile soldiers, with the help of crossbows and arrows on the wall, leisurely climbing upward.

From time to time, the boiling gold juice mixed with the stones fell from time to time, and the cry of pain was resounded.

Suddenly, the French army rushed out two battalions of light horsemen, without armor or bows, and each man carried two sandbags to the moat, and threw the sandbags on both sides of the flybridge.

The two battalions returned, and two more battalions came, but it didn't take long to build a wide road next to a few flying bridges, and the river overflowed, and the banks were muddy.

"Pressed in the middle of the formation!"

Mu Yehu and Chunyu Duoduo successively issued orders, and the left and right front armies each had a large phalanx, 4,000 foot soldiers, pushing the remaining few Yunyun and wooden mantles, and marched quickly towards the moat.

"Firebolts, flints! Put! ”

Leng Chen and Zhao Baining in the town also gave an order immediately, and the crossbow arrows and stones wrapped in fire oil cloth were accurately sent to the location of the legal army's Yunyun and wooden curtains, and they were smashed down and ignited.

However, the legal army did not care about the general, and the soldiers of the battalions behind the formation quickly rushed out, carrying the flying ladder, to the opening of the flying bridge road.

The ferocity of its offensive did not at all look like it was a feint.

This battle was a great pressure on the defenders of the town, and it was also a great pressure on the legal vanguard army who took the city by defeat.

Zijin Yanning took the lead, and Gu Gu and five fierce generals were on his left and right, and when the infantry of the left and right armies arrived under the town, he led the army to rush forward.

The vanguard army was horizontal, and the wooden curtain formed a wall, like a black cloud, and pressed straight towards Yanbei Guancheng.

Soon, it advanced and crossed the towns and cities on the left and right, and rushed forward.

In the left and right towns, the stone cannons that had not moved before were powerful, and smashed left and right towards the location of the Zijin Ning Department.

Soon, however, among the legal army, the stone cannons counterattacked, and the stone cannons on the left and right sides of each army were deployed, and the flying stones fell into the town.

Immediately afterwards, a series of flying ladders were erected at the head of the town, and the foot soldiers of the law army bravely attacked the head of the city against the rolling wood and stone wolf teeth.

Gold juice was splashed on the city, forks poked out, and flying ladders were overturned and knocked down.

Although no one has been able to attack the city for the time being, its offensive is surging, a large number of stragglers have been transferred to the city, and there are only a few equipment left in the city that can be used.

Zijin Yanning's headquarters passed through quickly, and the equipment of the gate began to show its might, and the offensive and defensive curtain officially opened.
