128 Siege (1)

At the same time as the cavalry was in full swing, the infantry soldiers under the command of Sima Jie also began to join the battlefield. As a temporary conscription, the combat effectiveness www.biquge.info of the infantry soldiers is far less powerful than that of the Flying Bear Army, but fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty is strong, the treasury has sufficient weapons, and various dangerous events often occur in this Xianxia world. Even local soldiers have to undergo a period of military training every year, and the chance of actually going into battle is not low.

Therefore, these soldiers were not too bad in terms of actual combat experience, at least they were better than the Salvation infantry on the other side. And their family base is thick enough, and all kinds of bows and crossbows and arrows will shoot towards the opponent's army formation without hesitation, and they will pour down on the opponent's head like rain. Soon after, when the attackers approached the city walls, they simply erected many huge oars and placards, and more than a thousand archers began to shoot at the city under the cover of shields. There are also "special vehicles" such as storming vehicles, catapults, ladder trucks, etc., which are quickly pushed under the city wall from the rear - there are many types of chariots of the Flying Bear Army, and anyway, there are four wheels and a board underneath, and any equipment can be installed on it.

Originally, these were intended to be slowly displayed in the next few days, but now that Sima Jie is determined to complete the battle, there is no need to be cautious, and all his brains are sent. Strive to put maximum pressure on the enemy in order to break the city in one fell swoop.

Huang Chang looked at this siege battle in the Xianxia world from afar, and at first felt that it was actually similar to the ancient war he knew in his previous life. Such as city walls, bows, and rolling logs...... These traditional factors still play a big role. It's just that it's not as chaotic and disorderly as it seems in the film and television works, and the cooperation between the various armies is quite close and smooth, and it is obviously a long-practiced one--these are just the border soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty! The strength of the military strength of this mortal empire can be seen from this.

And when the archers suppressed the city, and Sima Jie threw those people into the battlefield, the situation was even more out of his impression of his previous life. In Huang Chang's previous life, personal force was limited after all, and the core factor in the war still depended on equipment, formation, and training. The so-called "martial arts master", when it really comes to the cold weapon battlefield where the array fights, the role it can play may not be stronger than that of a farmer wearing iron armor, holding a sharp blade, and after a period of simple training.

But in this Xianxia world, the situation is very different. Even if you don't count those immortal cultivators or innate masters with extraordinary powers, even ordinary martial artists, as long as they have a certain level of internal strength, they can cut down metal armor by infusing it into the blade, not to mention that the degree of flexibility between moving and jumping is far better than that of ordinary people, so these Jianghu warriors can show extremely strong destructive power even in war—especially when used to attack cities.

The city wall as high as several zhang is a moat for ordinary people, but in front of the Jianghu people who are good at light work, it is not an insurmountable obstacle. For example, Huang Chang saw a siege method that was extremely rare in his previous life - the rear army shot heavy arrows or javelins deep into the city wall in a certain order, not for destruction, but as a footfoot for the Jianghu people who had climbed the city to the city!

If it was before, when the city wall was still intact and the morale of the defenders above was still abundant, this tactic of relying entirely on the hard rush of the Jianghu people might not work, but now, the huge gap blown up by Huang Chang's arrow on the city wall has become the best breakthrough, even without the help of tools, some warriors with better light skills can jump up in three or two. Not to mention the large number of javelins or heavy arrows shot at the wall here from behind, forming a lot of borrowing points that can be climbed and jumped, and even a little effort can be used.

And Sima Jie also unceremoniously stared at this weak point and attacked fiercely, dividing thousands of Jianghu warriors into several teams, going all out to take turns to attack here, and never giving up until the goal was achieved.

The castle apparently also realized that this gap in the wall had become a key point in the battlefield, and if it could not be defended, the city would be broken today. So a large number of people were also mobilized to defend. However, most of the warriors in the Salvation Religion have already been incorporated into the army, and they have followed Li Xin out of the city to fight, and most of the defenders on the city wall are old and weak in the city, even if many of them shout a few slogans "God protect! Invulnerable! Invulnerable!" After the slogan, they disregard themselves and completely slash and kill indiscriminately with the same attitude, but in front of those Jianghu warriors who are accustomed to seeing life and death, it is nothing more than two more swords.

Seeing that the defense on the city wall was in jeopardy, a group of Jianghu people were already about to rush to the city gate, and once they were allowed to open the city gate and let the iron cavalry of the bear army enter the city, the city would inevitably fall...... But at this critical moment, the situation in the city suddenly changed drastically. I saw a green glow dragging black smoke, transforming into a skeleton, and flying around the city wall with a terrifying whistling sound. In an instant, several heroes were knocked down, triggering a cheer from the Salvation Sect.

But it was Yang Yong, who failed to trap Ji Ruo just now, and Yang Yong, who retreated to the city at some point, reappeared. In addition to him, there were also a number of immortal cultivators in Taoist costumes next to him, all standing high on both sides of the gap, using various means, including Yang Yong's Heart-Gathering Soul Assassin, to launch a fierce resistance to the attackers below.

On the front of the gap, a large man wrapped in iron armor and wearing a steel horned helmet blocked the way of the attackers. The big man was armed with an iron rod, and its power was so great that it would knock down any opponent who dared to enter the long rod attack distance in his hand. A few warriors with heavy weapons and self-effacing tried to rush up and fight them head-on, but they were smashed together with their weapons, leaving only a few blurred pieces of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Later General Wang Kai, the first divine power in the Salvation Religion, is known as invincible in foot combat, and is the personal guard of the Salvation God. ”

Sima Jie reported the other party's name, and he was not very anxious in his tone, and he was quite proud:

"Since even he has been dispatched, it can be seen that the Salvation Church has taken out the last spare strength, and there is nothing to be done. Our army should attack with all its might, and it will be able to succeed in one fell swoop!"

As he spoke, he picked up the armor from the pylon next to him and began to drape it on himself in a hurry.

"The old man is also going up, Huang Xiaoyou, are you willing to help?"

Huang Chang laughed and arched his hand:

"Follow yourself. ”

"Can I go too?"

But it was Ji Ruo who was asking on the side, obviously the battle just now that had no result made Ji Ruo not very enjoyable, and he was very eager to try it at this time.
