Chapter 32: Grinding
"Shoot!"
Although there were only fifty people, they still caused considerable casualties under the condescending situation.
They don't scatter aimlessly, but they shoot accurately after picking a target.
Those who are confident in their archery skills come to the door of the enemy.
Those with average archery skills shoot at people with no armor or only leather armor in the back row.
The screams kept rang out.
The arrows were like a blast of wind, repeatedly destroying the decaying grass, and the enemy fell a large area with a brush, and the killing effect was very considerable.
The enemy is also fighting back.
Shao Xun stood on the wall, Chen Yougen and Wang Qi'er held a big shield, covering left and right.
Under the dense number of arrows, the sound of whistling through the air and the "do-do" sound of shooting on the shield were heard. Chen Yougen was okay, Wang Qi'er, who had less strength, had already unconsciously taken two steps back, and the shield was very difficult to raise.
"Whoosh! Sou! Shao Xun's eyes kept wandering in the crowd, and after finding the target, he raised his hand and shot, not aiming at all, it was all based on feeling, but the hit rate was very high.
Not to mention the archery assessment in the army, raising your hand to shoot is one of the plus points. During the training, some people aimed back and forth, Shao Xun scolded when he went up, and if he continued to aim like this, his body was full of arrows shot by the enemy.
"Whoosh! Sou! After raising his hand and shooting, Shao Xun performed the bow left and right, and the arrows flew out, shooting down one person on the spot and shooting down one person's helmet.
He picks all worthy targets, either officers, standard-bearers, advocates, or battlefield heralds who run around quickly.
Under his manipulation, the enemy army soon became sluggish and the formation was somewhat disorganized.
Often, after the first group of people carrying simple wooden ladders to climb the wall were repulsed, the second group could not be quickly pushed up, wasting the results of the previous batch of robes in exchange for their lives.
But after all, there are many of them, and after the sword and shield soldiers pay attention to cover, it is not so easy to shoot the officer. What's more, there were only fifty archers on Biyong's side, and after shooting a dozen arrows per person, their arms began to soften and weak, and their strength gradually became weak, so the rate of fire slowed down and their accuracy decreased—in short, their lethality decreased.
After a few more rounds of hasty shooting, taking advantage of the ebb tide of the enemy army, Shao Xun ordered them to go down to rest and change to another group of people who could only use rough bows and arrows.
At this time, hand-to-hand combat has also entered a white-hot level.
"Kill!" Huang Biao roared angrily and stabbed the spear in his hand like lightning.
"Kill!" The sergeants also stabbed their spears.
Before the enemy could react, he saw several spears coming at him.
Some screamed loudly, some fell, and some summoned up courage and rushed and beat with the thick armor on their bodies.
For such people, there are people who are specially armed with wooden rafts, halberds, and axes. The main point is to take advantage of their unstable footing, and smash a heavy blunt weapon on their head and face, killing or injuring people, or knocking them down high walls.
This is the advantage of defending the city. In ancient times, there were even veteran warriors who climbed the city wall and were hooked down by a boy and hacked to death by a woman.
However, the courtyard wall of Biyong is not a serious city wall, there are no professional city defense facilities, and many city defense equipment cannot be opened, but it is much more difficult, and it is directly reflected in the battle situation, that is, their own casualties are not small.
After Shao Xun shot the arrow for a while, he felt that someone was already eyeing him, and his physical exertion was also very large, so he decisively picked up a long-handled axe, changed his position, waved his hands, and smashed it at the person who climbed up.
"Die!" After stepping on the wall with his legs, he grabbed a spear with a piercing spear in his left armpit, and slashed the shaft with his right hand.
"Poof!" The axe slashed down with incredible force, and the enemy soldier was smashed to the point of staggering a few steps, and fell into the wall from the other end. The resting soldiers swarmed up and killed them with handsome soldiers.
"Bang!" Shao Xun kept moving, and the long-handled axe slashed at an enemy soldier who had just climbed up.
This person seems to have been approved with three layers of armor, his body is extremely strong, and he is glaring angrily, majestic and murderous.
The axe slammed into his face. Before he could utter any shouts, his face visibly changed shape, and with a thud, he fell to the base of the wall with his back facing the sky.
This is not over, another warrior in heavy armor came up in front of him, and behind him, two more people in leather armor, using their hands and feet, jumped onto the wall.
The warrior at the beginning had already fought with the defenders, Shao Xun didn't have time to think, and subconsciously slashed at the two people behind him with an axe.
"Poof!" The sharp blade of the axe sliced through the flesh and removed the man's entire arm, and blood gushed out and sprayed on the other man's face, causing him to be stunned for a moment.
Shao Xun kept his hands and feet, took a step forward, withdrew his axe and swept it, sweeping it down the city.
"Ahh There was also a scream behind the side, Shao Xun looked sideways, but saw that the heavy-armored warrior was cut by Huang Biao's throat after killing one person and injuring another, and fell weakly to the head of the city.
"Whew!" Heavy wheezing sounds are clearly audible.
The face-to-face fight is really very grinding, and the test is the courage to see the red with the bayonet. In this case, the physical exertion will be faster than usual, it will make you highly nervous, and it will make you - perverted!
"Kill!" With an axe in his hand, Shao Xun smashed the helmet of another heavily armored warrior and kicked it down the wall.
He then carried an axe to another place in critical condition to put out the fire.
There are people around me who are constantly falling, and people are constantly taking over.
I don't know how many people were killed and wounded, but Shao Xun had already inserted several arrows in his body. The injuries were not severe, and they didn't even make it to the flesh, but it also showed the intensity of the battle.
Do you want that?
They're just flanks in the flanks here, but they're having such an exciting time, and the junior martial artists are real cannon fodder!
******
At the end of the day's fighting, the walls were filled with wailing.
Shao Xun took off his armor, and Wang Qi'er carefully wrapped his wounds.
Mi Huang, Yu Liang, Yang Bao and others gathered around and listened to his words.
"There's no need to panic." Shao Xun frowned, and said in a calm tone: "The battle of offense and defense, the first three days were the most dangerous, and after withstanding this battle, it is basically stable." ”
"Today, the enemy army has selected many elites, wearing heavy armor, hoping to break the city with one blow, but we have resisted it. Not everyone can be the selector and elite, and when these people are exhausted, things will be easy to do. ”
"Think about it, if we fight in the field with the enemy array, how much trouble will these elites cause to us, but now we are easily killed by relying on the high wall, wouldn't it be a big profit?"
"Don't worry, the thieves have no intention of taking our place. Meng Chao may still be thinking about going to the east of the city to make war achievements. We will hold on to it and never surrender, he saw that there was nothing he could do, and he was reluctant to lose his own elite soldiers, so he retreated. ”
"I'll be vigilant at night, and I'll patrol at any time. Those who neglect their duties and neglect military affairs have nothing to say, and they will be punished immediately. ”
Shao Xun spoke eloquently, with the tone of a chief officer, but everyone, including Mi Huang, had a natural attitude, nodded again and again, and promised loudly.
Even a high-ranking disciple like Yu Liang used to have a lot of complaints about people of Shao Xun's status, but now he is honest. Shao Dubo is fighting fires everywhere, and today he is afraid that he has killed more than 20 people, which can be called a god general.
Without him, it's hard to say what the ending of Biyong would be.
On this basis, everyone is not qualified to discriminate against him - if you really look down on him, you have to bury it in your heart, you can't declare it, the whole family is here, but you don't dare to lose your temper.
"Uncle Shao is right, if we surrender, there will be no good fruit to eat, so we can only carry it to the end. From today on, whoever dares to speak up, don't blame me for not being merciful. Seeing Shao Xun finish speaking, Mi Huang was the first to express his support, and his tone was very serious.
"No." Not only did Uncle Yang Bao and several team leaders respond, but even Yu Liang and another young man from the Xu clan in the East China Sea also answered.
Shao Xun couldn't help but glance at him more.
Like the Mi clan, the Xu clan is also a local scholar clan in the East China Sea. In terms of status at this time, it is actually not very high. At least, when he replied to Yu Liang of the Yingchuan Yu clan, it was obvious that his posture was very low, although the Yu clan was not a big gate.
This young man's name is Xu Lang, he is eighteen years old this year, and he doesn't know why he came to the capital. Anyway, he took the road of Mi Huang and ran to Biyong to take refuge.
I have seen Shao Xun a few times, but he hasn't spoken much, even if he has fallen to this point, he is still arrogant.
The caste society of the Great Jin Dynasty is not shallow.
Maybe in Xu Lang's heart, he didn't think Shao Xun was so powerful at all, and I could do it too. After all, this is the era when Lu Ji can be the commander of more than 200,000 troops, and it is not surprising to have this kind of thought.
"In that case, each according to his duties, let it be done step by step." Shao Xun nodded, looked at Yu Liang and Yang Bao, and said, "There are many rabbles in the thief army, and they may not have the ability to fight at night, but they must be guarded against, and they will trouble the two of them tonight." ”
"No." Yu Liang and Yang Bao immediately responded.
In general, they also understand.
The Jizhou Metropolitan District originally had 40,000 soldiers, but now more than 200,000 horses have been pulled out at once, and most of them are actually farmers who cultivate the land and do not have much combat effectiveness.
Even the soldiers have become corrupt and degenerate. Otherwise, can you make the homeless handsome run around like no one?
Of course, then again, the ability of the Piyong defenders is not good, everyone is just worse. Tonight, take precautions and polish the enemy's morale for a few more days, and it's almost over.
Shao Xun thought more than they did......
