Chapter 68: The First Bloody Battle (Part II)

The leader hurriedly gestured to his two commanders, ordering them to lead the attack.

Looking at the clansmen who were advancing under the supervision of the Shengdi knights, the leader only realized at this time that even if he didn't need to fight hard with the crow rangers, it would still be not easy to capture this small village, and if he didn't do it, he would have to break the bloodshed.

Behind him are the arrows and blades of Sheng Di Leng, and in their attitude towards Shu Di, these fellow people are often more fierce than the Zhou people.

Just like the embarrassing situation that Shu Di was in, the two thousand Shu Di soldiers cursed both sides of this battle in their hearts, and at the same time, they also prayed that they would not be killed by the hard crossbows of the Great Perimeter Army.

Fortunately, the bows and arrows in their hands had a longer range than the opponent's crossbows, which to a certain extent offset the condescending advantage of the first guard, and they did not really attack the fortress, and the exchange of arrows and rain had suddenly erupted with the first bowstring sound.

The sound of the oozing bowstring was connected, and the dense black pressure of the arrows made the scalp tingle at the first glance.

Immediately someone was hit by an arrow at the head of the wall, and he fell without saying a word.

The array of cavalry approaching outside the wall was also shot out of many gaps in a moment, and it was impossible to count how many people had fallen from their horses as corpses, and even more Shu Di, who had been hit by an arrow, was wailing in despair.

The power of the large divine arm crossbow in the hands of the crows is particularly amazing, it can shoot through several people in one go, and the first one to be hit by an arrow is often blown into a mess of minced meat, which is very tragic.

At this moment, it was impossible to do it without trying hard, because of the stimulation of blood and death, the two thousand ripe Di were stimulated to be ferocious, screaming and madly urging the horses, swept past the wall, and sprinkled a rain of arrows.

Most of the ripe Di still rode back and forth on horseback, suppressing the guards at the head of the city with bows and arrows in their hands, and about five or six hundred of the most elite warriors dismounted under the rain of arrows, carrying shields of various materials and shapes on their hands, and wearing leather armor on their bodies, advancing towards the wall at great speed.

At the forefront of these five or six hundred people, a dozen huge wooden shields with a height of one person were erected, which were extremely hard and thick when they looked at them, and they would not be inferior to the iron shields.

The shield bearers were full of breath, all of them were centurions at the peak of foundation building and even the realm of qi training, and they were at the forefront after dismounting, protecting the limited dismounted soldiers behind them.

came in a hurry, and they were all cavalry, and the Di people did not have siege equipment at hand, but the black crows at the head of the wall did not relax because of this, and the Di people would not be stupid enough to rush to the wall and die in vain.

The battlefield confrontations on Sunday are often extremely variable, and there are many unexpected changes, and the tactics adopted by the commander often depend on the number of masters under his command.

More than a dozen familiar centurions protected themselves with huge shields and advanced under the walled wall unscathed, and the guards on the walled wall had nothing to do with them for a while, and even the divine arm crossbow had little effect.

Deep in the grassland, the stockade is not big, and it is not as important as Shuofang City, which can be built with bricks and stones at any cost.

Xiandeng Zhai is just rammed earth for the city, the corner tower is even more wooden, if you don't dismantle the first Deng beacon tower, there is nowhere to find things like boulders and sasswood.

The dozen centurions didn't come to hang out under the wall, and they soon made a move.

First, three people stood side by side, slammed the sharp edge of the big shield on their heads against the mound, smashed a small depression, embedded the shield in the mound, and at the same time the three big shields were roughly put together.

The guards on the wall could not see the movement under the shields, but the centurions of the Di people quickly relieved the crows.

The two hundred horsemen with shields flew up and stepped on the three big shields, and the three hundred horsemen under the shield let out a low cry and firmly resisted.

After a few breaths, the second step made of two large shields took shape.

The guards on the walled wall suddenly realized, and Li Songqi slammed his fist on the wall: "Damn! The sides of this walled wall are too straight, if it is built with an arc like a city wall, or if a fortress is built, these shieldmen can be shot to death from the side." ”

"My lord, for the sake of today, in addition to sending the dead soldiers down, I can only concentrate the divine arm crossbow and work together to defeat these big shields. Lu Bingchen suggested in a deep voice.

Li Songqi also knew that this was not the time to complain, so he immediately ordered: "All the divine arm crossbows are aimed at the big shield of the Di people, and shoot them for the captain of this school!"

With this order, the extremely powerful Divine Arm Crossbowmen gathered together, all of them were burly and strong men with cultivation, so they could use this large crossbow as a hand crossbow.

The shield ladder is still continuing to extend upward, and the second one is also beginning to take shape, which is not enough, after all, it is impossible for several layers of shield ladders to turn the moat more than ten zhang high into a thoroughfare.

What's worse is that these hundred horsemen also carry large iron vertebrae and ropes, and under the cover of shield ladders, they chisel the large iron vertebrae into the mound and wrap them with ropes as simple rope ladders.

If it is done, the high cultivation can directly step on the big iron vertebrae, and those with poor skills can also rely on the rope ladder to climb, which is much easier and faster than the siege ladder and other equipment.

Collapse!

Two thunderous roars resounded across the battlefield, a sound formed by the fluttering of the bowstrings of dozens of gods' crossbows.

Two shields at the bottom of the mound shattered, one lost two floors, and the other was cut off by one.

Several centurions under the shield were no longer human, and stumps and blood were splattered everywhere.

The two shield ladders occupied most of the dozen centurions shieldmen, and a few others were ready to replace them.

Seeing that there was a broken shield ladder, someone immediately jumped up to the only remaining shield ladder at the bottom with a big shield, and took advantage of the time for the god arm crossbow crossbow hand on the wall to build a rope ladder.

Collapse!

There was another loud roar, slamming into a large shield.

The great shield sank downward, but it didn't break.

Under the shield, the centurion had countless tiny blood vessels cracked all over his body, and he had become a bloody man, but there was no major problem.

There are countless people on the wall of the wall, this centurion who is willing to risk arrows at least has the cultivation in the middle of qi training, and blesses the big shield with aura, the strength is extraordinary, and he actually withstood the round of shots of the divine arm crossbow.

A loud roar rang out again, and a dozen or so armor-piercing crossbow arrows that had been intended to be used against another shield ladder were also fired at the centurion who had performed the miracle.

The seemingly indestructible shield shattered.

In front of everyone's eyes, the centurion's braided head was like a fragile watermelon, and it was blown to pieces in an instant!

The death of several centurions had bought precious time, and a rope ladder had been rapidly formed.

Subsequently, the shield hands of the upper two layers were transferred to the big iron vertebrae, and the three shield hands at the bottom of the ladder did not have to retreat from the shield, stepped on the big iron spine and jumped up, and then stepped on the top of the head of the third layer of shield hands, took out the big iron vertebrae again, and repeated the previous process.

The black crows on the walled wall were inexperienced, and after a little hesitation, the shieldmen of the Di people had successfully climbed the small hill to face the more fragile gate and drawbridge.

If the Di people cut the iron cable on the suspension bridge, this first Dengzhai will definitely not be able to hold it.

Li Songqi's face was already gloomy as water, and he said hatefully: "These Shudi deserve to die, they have long been ready to attack Xiandengzhai one day, and afterwards I must show the Changjun Gate and uproot the Shudi tribe!"
