Chapter Eighty-Four: Waves and Reefs

Huang Gon was the first person to notice that there was a change in the city gate division, watching his own commander suddenly disappear above the city gate, hearing the sound of the city gate slowly opening The Huang family's personal soldiers and the masters in the forbidden army gave instructions one after another, and arranged for people to go to the city gate division to help General Huang.

Although Bigan was physically powerless, his nerves had long been tightened as the army outside the city pressed him, and he always paid attention to the wind and grass. As soon as there was movement in those two brass gates, his reaction speed was not much slower than that of the masters in the forbidden army.

Bi Gan is strong to calm his mind, thinking about how to minimize the loss, Shen Fu, the big housekeeper of Yunmeng Mansion, who has been standing behind him, helped Bi Gan, the middle-aged housekeeper who usually looks shrewd and philistine is facing a crisis and has a calm body, and his usual sleek appearance has long been thrown out of the clouds, and his voice is firm:

"Xiangye, the son of the daughter can't sit down, according to the villain's opinion, let's go back to the Zhuhuang Palace first, first, to ensure your safety, and second, you personally sit in the Zhuhuang Palace, in case there is a change in the palace, the affairs of the city gate defense, it is better to hand it over to the forbidden army to deal with it all. ”

Bigan was still a little hesitant, and Cheng Huan, the deputy general of Huang Gon on the side, and the veteran led by the ten marshals of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and his voice was sonorous:

"Please also ask Yaxiang to return to the palace, the defense at the city gate General Huang has already been arranged, although he did not expect the city gate to be opened directly, but it will definitely be able to hold off the rebels for a while. ”

Bigan knew that he was not good at military affairs, and staying at the city gate was harmful, and he couldn't say that he would share the hearts of the soldiers, so it was better to go back to Zhuhuang Palace directly.

"Without further ado, let's go. ”

"Yes!"

Shen Fu carefully helped Bigan down the city wall, Cheng Huan watched Yaxiang leave, looked around the city at random, and calmly commanded the soldiers in charge of the flag around him to convey instructions to the forbidden army.

Perhaps because he had already discussed the plan with Zhang Mo, and because he was afraid of being detected by the imperial court, this time the Chenghou army did not bring those siege equipment that was expensive and scarce materials, but only an ordinary battle formation with infantry soldiers as the main and chariots as the supplement.

However, there are too many of them.

There are 400,000 soldiers, just lining up outside the city gate gives people a great sense of oppression, Cheng Huan is now a veteran of the age of the sixtieth birthday, he has experienced countless battles large and small in his life, and has not experienced the magnificent scene of 400,000 people attacking the city, a neat phalanx is like a dark and heavy dark cloud, and the bronze Changge that reflects the sunlight gathers into a bright light, as if it is a lightning that accumulates in the dark clouds.

As the gates opened, the dark clouds pressed lower, bringing an incomparable sense of oppression, as if the breached city was about to be crushed by it, and everything that stood in their way was to be destroyed by the lightning that was about to descend on the earth.

A timid recruit stood at the top of the city and looked down, but after just one glance at the city, he collapsed on the ground, and almost fell down without standing still.

Cheng Huan waved his hand, and someone hurriedly pulled this guts guy away.

He knew that General Huang should go to the City Gate Division to chase after Sizheng Zhang Mo, and under the siege of the forbidden army, he was not worried about the results of the battle over there, but ......

Last night, when General Huang learned that Chenghou's army was about to besiege the city, he had already arranged 100,000 forbidden troops, 30,000 people each at the eastern, western, and northern gates, and only 10,000 at the main gate of the south gate.

There is no other reason, the city defense measures at the south gate of Chaoge City are the tightest place, and they are the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, so they only need to focus on preventing the remaining three gates from being breached, which can basically ensure the safety of Chaoge City.

This arrangement was unanimously approved by all the generals, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with General Huang's arrangement, because everyone felt that the south gate was the safest, and since the rebels under Chenghou didn't even have any siege equipment, then even if they piled up 500,000 people at the south gate, what could they do?

But this seemingly perfect arrangement came to naught with the turn of the noose of the city gate.

Although Cheng Huan had already issued an order at the first time, arranging for the defenders of the east, west, and north gates to send men and horses to come over to supplement the defense, could there be time?

At this moment, the first group of rebels had rushed in from the gate that had been opened to the halfway point, and the boiling oil and flint that had been burned in advance had just been taken to the city because of the surprise of the start of the war.

"Put!"

Cheng Huan didn't hesitate any longer, and with a wave of his big hand, countless hot oil and burning boulders that had been boiling hot fell from the high head of Chaoge City, and the archers who had long been ready to attack also released the bowstring in their hands with the order of Deputy General Cheng, and the arrows fell like rain in an instant, and the fire was like a meteor.

Originally, there were still some ordinary people gathered at the city gate, but the forbidden soldiers who maintained law and order had already dispersed them, and a group of sword and shield soldiers had been lined up at the city gate before it was opened.

At the forefront, a row of soldiers held a huge wall shield, the wall shield had a total of three layers, the outermost layer was a layer of cowhide, the cowhide wrapped in a bronze poured shield, and the innermost was oak of the same material as the Chaoge Castle Gate, and this huge wall shield with a height of one foot required four strong soldiers to stabilize. However, the unparalleled weight also brings unparalleled defense, unless it is a martial artist above the god stage who can personally hold a gun to pierce it, otherwise the charge of the heavy cavalry can be blocked by the wall shield, as for the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers, shooting on the wall shield is simply tickling.

However, the wall shield is so heavy, whether it is arranged or transported away, it is extremely troublesome, for the mobility of the army, there has always been a time when the wall shield comes in handy, unless it is a battle situation that does not retreat, just like today, the wall shield has played its own role.

Behind each wall shield stood ten heavily armed soldiers, four people were responsible for stabilizing the wall shield, and three people were responsible for erecting a bronze long ge, which was two zhang long, one end of the pestle was on the ground, and was tacitly erected by the well-trained three people, the tip of the ge pointed straight ahead, the cold light flickered, and there was a great threat to the heavy chariot, and the idle cavalry would be worn on the ge if they were not careful, cruel and bloody.

The other three each held a spear, the tip of which was ready to pierce through the gaps in the wall shield to kill those who survived.

At the forefront of the forbidden army were two thousand shield armorers and hundreds of strong wall shields.

It's like a huge black reef.

And the sharpest point on the reef is a division commander who commands two thousand shield armor soldiers, this person is named Zheng Yuehe, who was selected by Emperor Yi as the leader of the shield armor soldiers long before Huang Gon came to the forbidden army, he is very burly and heavily armored, and at the front of the formation, a person stabilized a wall shield with one hand, and firmly stabilized a long pole with his right hand.

If the rebels of the Eighteenth Route Princes want to enter the court, they must step on the corpses of these two thousand shield armorers!

The first to enter the castle was a chariot.

This ancient tool of war is made by the Emperor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, with reference to the Nine Dragons Imperial Wheel of the Demon Emperor Jun, a person on the car with a horse, a shield, a gun and a bow, not only very versatile, but also when charging, the heavy chariot can often bring unbearable damage to the enemy's formation.

The soldiers on the chariot had a mixture of excitement and nervousness on their faces, and as the first chariot to enter the castle, it was a great honor that no one had received in hundreds of years, and it was even possible to go down in history.

Zheng Yuehe looked at the approaching chariot and the fanatical expression of the soldiers on the chariot, gritted his teeth and cursed, but the sound was covered by the visor, and only the sound of "buzzing" vibrated endlessly.

After the frenzy subsided, fear went deep into the marrow.

This is the shield armor soldier who is known as the number one defense in the Tiger Ben army of Chaoge City!

The four of us in a chariot are just a small snack for the shield soldiers, and the chariot rushing forward cannot be stopped, not to mention that there are countless soldiers pouring into Chaoge City in the rear, and they can't retreat and can't retreat.

After this rush, do you still have the life to enjoy the honor of being the first to enter the city of songs?

The hesitation was only a matter of a moment, and the chariot, which gradually increased in speed, collided with the shield armor fiercely!

Like the head of a huge wave crashing against a solid reef that has stood in the sea for thousands of years.

The waves undoubtedly shattered and flew on the reef, turning into foam.

The man who controls the chariot is undoubtedly a good horseman, and he chooses the gap between the two Changge very scrambles, wanting to use the impact of the chariot as a whole to directly collide with the wall shield, and strive to kill the shield armor behind the wall shield.

But Zheng Yuehe, who has been in charge of training shield armor warriors for many years, would give him this opportunity, his thick arm held the bottom of Changge and turned the direction slightly, and the tip of Changge was steadily pointed at the soldier on the horse.

"Pounce".

With a dull sound, the soldier in fine armor was the first to be pierced on top of Changge, the blood in his abdomen was flowing endlessly, and he held Changge and struggled in pain.

But the shield soldier at the end of Chang Ge who stared at him coldly, Chang Ge who was holding a heavy hand also picked a sturdy soldier, no matter how the soldier struggled, his arm didn't move at all!

Zheng Yuehe has such a strong physique!

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang, the war horse and the wall shield collided fiercely, the sound of the horse's body fracture was dull and breathtaking, and the tall black horse hit the wall shield with a huge impact, but did not shake the wall shield in the slightest, but broke the neck bone!

One man and one horse struggled weakly, the soldier held Changge, tried all his strength to make his body retreat, and pulled the cold Changge out of his abdomen, but this accelerated the displacement of organs and the flow of blood, he felt the loss of physical strength, but he was already confused, and he couldn't feel the existence of pain.

They finally stopped struggling.

When the other three soldiers collided with the chariot and the wall shield, two of them bravely rushed up to face the wall shield, but were stabbed to death by random guns, and the last soldier who witnessed the tragic death of the driver was already weak in his legs, and fell to his knees tremblingly beside the broken chariot, unable to raise his bow and arrow.

He was then trampled into a pulp by the tide of men and horses coming from behind.

The head of the wave had been shattered, and the blood-stained reef seemed to have changed little.

But there are countless waves surging behind.

Will the reef still be able to withstand their impact?
