Chapter 498: Siege Battle

In front of Shanhaiguan, the Red Cross Expeditionary Army was approaching the city, and the black pressure of the head and the neat and orderly battle formation brought huge pressure to the Chinese warriors on the wall of Shanhaiguan.

I saw that the shield soldiers in the infantry corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, at the front of the entire army, the shield soldiers held large round iron shields, wore heavy armor, and walked forward slowly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

On the wall of Shanhaiguan, the lord of Hua had a serious face, and after taking the vanguard of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, he ordered the arrows to be released immediately after entering the range of the bow and arrow.

Boom, boom, boom.

The warriors of the Chinese Kingdom, who had already been prepared, after hearing the order of the Lord of the Chinese Kingdom, took off the bows and arrows they were carrying behind them, held them tightly in their hands, put on the arrows, aimed at the Red Cross Expeditionary Army under the Shanhai Pass, and began to shoot arrows.

Suddenly, in the sky in front of the entire Shanhai Pass, a rain of arrows poured down, and each arrow contained terrifying power, breaking through the air, as if tearing the heavens and the earth.

Because the archers are all warriors, when archery, the warriors of Huaguo inject their own spiritual power into the arrows, so the arrows can shoot farther and have greater destructive power.

The Red Cross Expeditionary Force was still a kilometer away from Shanhaiguan, but the arrows fired enveloped the vanguard shield troops of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army in a blink of an eye, and the overwhelming arrows poured down, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

However, the vanguard shield unit of the Red Cross Expeditionary Force did not panic in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows fired from the walls of Shanhaiguan.

"Raise your shield!"

Seeing this, David, the shield commander of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, his face remained unchanged, he raised the large round iron shield in his hand and roared loudly.

"Drink!"

Suddenly, tens of thousands of leading shield troops of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army shouted one after another, squatted on the ground in a neat and orderly manner, and then raised the large round iron shield and put it on their heads.

The shield soldiers of the Red Cross Crusade are not ordinary people, they inject the spiritual power in their bodies into the big round iron shield, making the big round iron shield more thick, strong and indestructible.

Jingle bell.

The arrows arrived as scheduled, but the effect was not satisfactory, and the arrows fell on the Great Round Iron Shield, which could not break through the defenses of the Great Round Iron Shield at all.

Occasionally, arrows passed through the gaps between the large round iron shields and killed the Red Cross Crusade's shield soldiers, but these were too few to pose a threat to the Red Cross Crusade's shield corps.

"Keep going!"

After seeing that the troops had stabilized their formation, David, the commander of the shield corps, gave the order to continue advancing.

I saw the vanguard shield corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, each shield soldier half-squatting on the ground, holding a large round iron shield, against the rain of arrows in the sky, like a snail, moving forward slowly.

Although the speed of the advance was very slow, and there were occasional casualties, the overall formation was not chaotic, and it was steadily advancing towards Shanhaiguan.

At the same time, behind the shield corps, the spearmen, archers, cavalry, and siege vehicle corps were also slowly advancing.

"Archers listen to orders, release arrows!"

When the vanguard shield corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army advanced to a distance of only 500 meters from Shanhaiguan, Allen, the commander of the archers, ordered the archers to return fire.

Boom.

Suddenly, countless arrows shot from below Shanhaiguan to the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

Ahhhh

For a while, on the wall of Shanhaiguan, there were continuous screams, and many Chinese warriors were shot by arrows before they could react.

"Get cover!"

Seeing this, the lord of Hua immediately shouted loudly.

There are many bunkers on the city wall of Shanhaiguan for hiding, and the Chinese warriors who reacted hid separately, and then transported the injured to the city for treatment.

"Charge!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Francisco Cisco, the commander of the infantry corps of the Red Cross Crusade, with a wave of his iron spear in his hand, led the infantry corps to charge.

At the same time, the siege caravan corps followed, and soon reached the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

"Build a ladder and hit the city gates. ”

Kerry, the commander of the siege vehicle corps, shouted, commanding the soldiers of the siege vehicle corps, dividing the labor and cooperation, some of the engineering vehicles set up ladders, and some of the siege vehicles began to hit the city gate fiercely.

The ladder was erected as high as the city wall, and five shield soldiers climbed up the ladder with large round iron shields, followed by dozens of spearmen.

"Quick, the enemy has climbed the city wall, come out to meet the enemy!"

The lord of Hua suddenly found that the archers of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army had not moved, and then under the city wall, there was a knocking sound, which made him startled in his heart, his face changed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and then poked his head out and found that the enemy had set up a ladder and was climbing towards the city wall.

Because the vanguard had already attacked the city, the archers of the Red Cross Expeditionary Force also stopped shooting arrows to prevent accidental injury to friendly troops.

Chen Jian and the others hid behind the city wall, and after hearing the shouts of the lord of Huaguo, they all cautiously poked their heads out, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they found that the enemy had stopped shooting arrows.

They were not like the shield legions of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, with heavy and indestructible shields and heavy armor, and there was no other way to avoid the overwhelming rain of arrows.

"Quick, shoot arrows at the walls, throw stones, release hot oil!"

The lord of Huaguo was calm and calm, and asked people to quickly carry up the city defense equipment that had been prepared a long time ago.

Suddenly, a fierce battle broke out.

On the wall of Shanhaiguan, the warriors of Huaguo threw down the boulders.

The boulder smashed into the shield soldier who was climbing on the ladder, sending the shield soldier flying and falling to the ground and breaking into minced meat.

Or they were hit by a boulder and rolled down the ladder, and fell down the ladder with the shieldmen and spearmen below.

Because the wall of Shanhaiguan is as high as 100 zhang, and the ladder must be so high, the shield soldiers and spearmen of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army will definitely die if they fall from such a high place.

For a time, the vanguard of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, which made the face of Francisco Cisco, the infantry commander of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, suddenly gloomy.

However, Française Cisco didn't say anything, the war is dead, and as a besieging party, it has to pay a huge price, but if you can break through the Shanhai Pass, these casualties are worth it.

Although the Chinese warriors had been prepared in advance, and there were many equipment to defend the city, it was inevitable that there would be shield soldiers and spearmen of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, who successfully rushed to the wall of Shanhaiguan, but they were soon killed and retreated by the Chinese warriors.

The children of the Chen family led by Chen Jian were stationed on the edge of the 100-meter city wall, and the battle was also very fierce.

In this 100-meter city wall alone, there are dozens of ladders, and countless shields and spearmen of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army climb up frantically along the ladders.
