As we all know, in siege warfare, it is inevitable that the advancing phalanx will be attacked by arrows from above the city walls. And it is almost inevitable that the arrows will pass through the defense and shoot the soldiers of the phalanx.

Whether a unit is well-trained and combat-effective in siege warfare is fully reflected in the transformation of the phalanx.

In the process of advancing, if a sergeant is hit by an arrow, whether it is wounded or killed, the rest of the sergeants around him should immediately step forward to fill the gap, otherwise it will cause a gap in the entire upward defense, so that the enemy crossbowmen can seize the opportunity to shoot more sergeants through this gap.

And in the siege of Changxiang City, this first wave of offensive, the enemy phalanx did too badly.

There was a hole in the defense, and no sergeant stepped forward immediately, but after a while, after a few more sergeants died, someone stepped forward to fill the gap, which created a vicious circle, causing the entire phalanx to become more and more porous, and the casualties to be larger and larger. The greater the casualties, the more no one fills the gap, and no one fills the gap, the greater the casualties will be caused, if it were not for the fact that these soldiers are all in military armor and have shields to defend themselves, in the process of this advancement, the soldiers above the city head can wipe out this phalanx with their arrows alone.

"Knock ......"

There was a muffled sound, it was the sound of the tower pushing the city on the city wall.

Yu Sheng immediately opened his eyes, instantly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and rushed to the nearest Push City Tower with an arrow step.

The enemy's attack was obviously a temptation, and only two towers and one siege vehicle were put into battle, but the trebuchets in the distance were not put into battle.

Yu Sheng rushed to the nearest Tuicheng Tower, and without waiting for the enemy to kick the plank away, the red fighting spirit of his whole body surged out, holding a long knife, and he slashed at the Tuicheng Tower. A crimson sword qi broke out of the air, and slashed directly at the Tuicheng Tower in front of him, only to hear the "click", the wooden platform on the upper part of the Tuicheng Tower was split in half, slowly slid down, and fell on the land under ten zhang.

On the tower of Tui Cheng, the two sergeants were slashed open by Yu Sheng's knife, and at this moment, blood gushed out, forming a short blood fountain, and the rolling blood splashed on the enemy soldiers behind him, and his face also splashed on Yu Sheng's hideous face.

Without making any stops, Yu Sheng stepped forward, jumped directly onto the Push City Tower, and slashed with a knife, slashing at the terrified enemy in front of him, destroying the withering and decaying.

Two towers of the city, Yu Sheng himself effortlessly took one of them, and the other one, the enemy troops on it, not to mention jumping on the top of the city, they couldn't even go up to the highest place, as soon as there were enemy troops rushing up, they were immediately killed by the sergeant with a halberd and knocked down.

These two towers that touched the city walls were not like siege stairs, but like steps to hell, and all the enemy soldiers who climbed the towers died in a moment.

"Boom, boom. The crisp sound of metal knocking came, and when the enemy soldiers in front of them heard this, they immediately retreated like a tide, retreated from the Push City Tower, and some sergeants even threw away their weapons and ran back as if they were dead.

Yu Sheng slashed and killed two enemy soldiers who had no time to retreat, and at this moment, he was covered in blood, and the blood of the enemy soaked his battle robe, dripping from time to time. On the Push City Tower, blood is everywhere, the blood of the enemy, the upper part of the entire Push City Tower is dyed red, the top of this Push City Tower, like hell, a blood red.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. ”

As the enemy retreated, the sergeants on the walls kept shooting arrows and killed hundreds of people. The rest of the enemy fled in a hurry like lost dogs, and finally came out of the range of the bow and crossbow.

This battle was very fast, from the beginning of the enemy's advance to the final retreat, a total of less than half an hour. But in just half an hour, no less than two enemy troops remained

Thousands of corpses, and for the rest of the life, only a few crossbow arrows were lost, not even a single wounded.

This battle is almost like an adult against a baby, and the sergeants guarding the city wall find it a little boring.

Yu Sheng saw that the enemy had retreated, so he jumped down from the Tuicheng Tower, shook his body, and a blood stain dripped down, and the battle armor of his whole body was soaked in the enemy's blood, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body at this moment.

"Damn, it's fast. Yu Sheng cursed, took off the armor on his upper body, took off his shirt, held it with both hands, and squeezed it fiercely, and the bright red blood fell like water droplets. Yu Sheng hit the clothes in his hands on the battlements on the side, and looked back at the battlefield under the city, which was like a hell, full of dead bodies.

After the battle, the black-armored iron cavalry of the Eastern Palace's mansion felt bored, and at this moment they were packing up their equipment and waiting for the enemy's next attack. No one has a word of nonsense, it's just that this battle just now is a bit like a war. The enemy seemed to be sending them to death, so they rushed upward, and so many people died in the process of advancing, and it is said that the morale of this wave of enemy troops had long been dispersed, but the enemy generals did not give the order to collect the troops, and they must be allowed to rush under the city wall, rush up to the city tower, and fight a white-knuckle battle with their own side, and then retreat.

The sergeants defending the city were a little puzzled, they didn't know what the enemy generals thought, if they said a tentative attack, there was no need to be so desperate, such a temptation was completely inappropriate to take the lives of their own sergeants.

Yu Sheng was also thinking about it at this moment, what was the purpose of the enemy generals rushing up so desperately, just to rush up and take a look at the scenery? But the enemies who had seen the scenery on the city wall were all dead, and none of them had the life to go back. So why did the enemy do this?

Using the lives of nearly 2,000 sergeants to consume one's own physical strength? Thinking of this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that it was impossible, even if he was a rookie who went to the battlefield for the first time, he knew that the battle was not fought like this, and charging like this was to send him to death.

After thinking about it for a long time, the rest of his life didn't figure out the intentions of the enemy army, thinking about sitting down and resting for a while, but before he could sit down, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly got up, and rushed to the two brigades left behind in the city, and said: "The third brigade will immediately go out of the city and occupy all the mountains on the left and right!"

At the moment of the order, the third brigade of men and horses immediately set out, and without using horses, they quickly went out of the city through the front gate, divided into two teams, and pounced on the hills on both sides.

The enemy army acted like this, such a desperate siege, if not a fool, then there is only one explanation.

They will touch the hills in two places, occupy the high points, attack with fire, and take the city of Changxiang. These previous attacks, the two thousand enemy soldiers who died, were all to give the rest of his life an illusion, make him careless, make him fall in love with the enemy, and make him feel that the other party's commander was a fool and would not fight. Combined with the brilliant results achieved in the field for the rest of his life and the boring battles of Fang Cai, it will make people naturally feel that the combat power of the enemy army and their own side is too far apart, so that the enemy has a chance to take advantage of it.

If it weren't for a flash of inspiration for the rest of his life, he would definitely fall for the enemy's strategy.

Is it really as expected for the rest of my life?

Huang Yuchen watched the siege battle in front of him tastelessly, and felt that he had laboriously arranged a few fire formations, which might not be useful, and when he just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, in the distance, there was a sudden sound of frequent squeezing, which made his nerves tense immediately.

When I looked back, I saw that there was an enemy sergeant in the surrounding woodland, which was blocked by this dense jungle, and I couldn't see how many people there were, but there were indeed a lot of people, and they were taking advantage of the night to touch their direction.

The five guards around him all looked tense at the moment

, they discovered the anomaly one step ahead of Emperor Yuchen, but they didn't make the slightest move. Judging from the movements of the enemy army, they did not discover the existence of Huang Yuchen and his party, but slowly groped forward, intending to occupy the commanding heights.

Huang Yuchen gently touched one of the guards beside him, and the two glanced at each other, and in each other's eyes, they both saw a firm fighting intent.

Huang Yuchen invoked the fighting energy, the fighting energy was running wildly in the meridians, he slowly pulled out the saber on his waist, held it in his hand, and hid the whole person behind the trees, waiting for the enemy to approach.

The sound of military boots stepping on the lawn was getting closer and closer, and Huang Yuchen was concentrating on preparation, waiting for the moment to make a move.

Suddenly, the sound disappeared, the enemy army had obviously come closer, five guards suddenly rushed out of the grass, the martial arts intermediate and senior fighting spirit suddenly erupted, red light rose all over the sky, Huang Yuchen also rushed out, the fighting spirit wrapped in the long knife, carrying the long knife, crossed the fire array in front of him, Huang Yuchen held the knife, suddenly, and slashed at the head of the enemy in front of him with a stunned face.

"Poof......" blood rushed to the sky, and before the enemy could react, he died on the spot.

Without any pause, Huang Yuchen drew his long knife and immediately pounced on the other enemy.

"Ahh

"Enemy attack!"

A few sergeants fell, and the enemy reacted, and in the enemy camp, there was a sudden burst of cheers, and all the enemy troops reacted.

In the dense jungle, it was night again, the vision was blocked, and the sergeant behind could only hear the screams coming from the front, but he didn't know that someone was attacking.

Huang Yuchen waved his long knife and rushed straight forward, and the several enemy sergeants who had been slashed and killed before did not have the slightest cultivation at all, and they had no power to fight back in front of Huang Yuchen.

For a while, Huang Yuchen and the five guards, as if they were in a no-man's land, rushed into the enemy's formation, full of fighting spirit, and with a wave of the weapon in their hands, the sergeant died on the spot.

"You are looking for death!" Suddenly, Huang Yuchen heard a loud shout, turned his head suddenly, and saw an eight-foot tall man, holding a big axe in his hand, and slashed down with a fierce axe, this axe was extremely fast, wrapped in a faint red breath, and came straight to Huang Yuchen.

Huang Yuchen was shocked when he saw this, and it was impossible to dodge at this moment, so he hurriedly raised the long knife in his hand and blocked it towards the big axe.

"Dangchang!"

With a crisp sound, Huang Yuchen's long knife wrapped in fighting spirit broke in response, and he only felt that the qi and blood all over his body were surging, and his mouth was numb, and he hurriedly took a step back, widening the distance between him and this big man.

With a blow, Huang Yuchen's blood surged, the fighting spirit in the meridians became manic, and the danger was uncontrollable, and he looked down and saw that his right hand holding the knife had a big hole in the tiger's mouth, and blood was flowing out, and the blow of this big man was so powerful.

"Peak ...... of martial artists" Huang Yuchen frowned, stared at the big man in front of him, and immediately made a judgment in his heart. At this moment, he is a low-level cultivator, but because of the tenacity of the meridians and the condensation of the fighting spirit, he can exert the primary strength of the general martial artist, and the one who can make him injured with one blow must be the middle and senior cultivation of the martial artist, and looking at the big man, the whole body is full of fighting energy, the faint light red breath, the breath is long, the steps are calm and powerful, the fighting spirit is continuous, and there is no reaction to a blow with himself, he must be a senior martial artist, after washing the essence and cutting the marrow, the strength is amazing.

"Boy, take your life!" Huang Yuchen quickly calculated the gap between the big man and the big man and the countermeasure, where did the big man give Huang Yuchen a chance to breathe, raised the big axe, and attacked with another blow.
