Chapter 195: Desperately Breaking the City
I saw that the enemy camp suddenly moved, and two groups of sergeants walked out of the phalanx, and went straight to the hills on the side, the speed was extremely fast, and the formation did not maintain a stable position, and disappeared into the jungle on the side in a moment.
At the same time, the enemy phalanx in front of it again heard a dull sound of horns, and a neatly arranged group of enemy sergeants made a comeback.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly, looking at the number of enemy troops reduced by the enemy formation, and roughly estimated that the total number of sergeants sent into the hills for this enemy attack was about 1,000, and the sergeants who attacked head-on were about 2,000.
This time, the enemy army is no longer a tentative attack, after the phalanx, charging carts, pushing towers, everything is available, and in the enemy's phalanx, several wooden towers are being erected, which are obviously trebuchets.
The city gate of Changxiang City and the hills on the left and right will probably have to face the attack of 3,000 enemy troops this time, and the back gate is almost the same situation. Unlike the front door, the back door is not as intense as expected. Maybe it was because the generals on both sides could not unify their command, or maybe it was because the back gate had experienced an unusually tragic battle, leaving a large number of enemy corpses on the ground, blocking the enemy's route to attack again.
But in any case, this time Changxiang City faced an attack by 6,000 elite troops of the enemy. Yu Sheng quickly calculated in his heart, calculating the combat power in the city and the means of the enemy's attack, weighing the pros and cons, and formulating a battle plan.
The enemy's attack this time is obviously not pouring out, they seem to be waiting, and they seem to be consuming, but no matter what the enemy does, they are also standing on the absolute superior, and the reinforcements behind may be constantly coming. And the Changxiang City that the rest of his life defended was overstretched, and the arrow feathers were one less with one, and the sergeant, if one person was killed, there would be one less person, at least in the defensive battle of Changxiang City, the rest of his life would not get any support.
Huang Yuchen was also frowning at the moment, he had seen with his own eyes in the previous battle, the battlefield adaptability and overall quality shown by the enemy soldiers were definitely incomparable to the enemy army encountered before, a large group of black-armored iron cavalry, a hundred battle veterans defended the city, under such an intensive offensive, the enemy army did not have the intention of breaking through the city, and only killed seven or eight hundred enemy soldiers, and before, in the same time, two thousand enemy troops were eliminated.
The gap between the front and back Huang Yuchen paid close attention, at this moment, the enemy soldiers were divided into two routes, and about 500 sergeants were sent to attack on the hills on both sides, and in the front, another 2,000 elite enemy troops came.
Huang Yuchen frowned and looked at Yu Sheng, waiting for his order to activate the Fire Separation Array, but Yu Sheng did not say anything.
Frontally, the enemy phalanx advanced slowly, neither fast nor slow, at a neat pace. In the middle of the phalanx, a team of sergeants pushed a huge siege vehicle, and in the back, two towers of the same height as Changxiang City came slowly.
In front of Changxiang City, the dust was flying, and the enemy phalanx continued to advance, and soon entered the range of the longbow. At the same time, on the hills on both sides, the shouts of sergeants were heard.
Huang Yuchen heard the sound of swords and soldiers, his heart moved slightly, there were only simple wooden defensive walls and simple guard towers on the hills on both sides, and on the city wall, there was no time to arrange the fire array, from the sound, the sergeants on both sides should have entered the white-edged battle.
And the enemy army in front of him, just as Huang Yuchen's thoughts were flying, had already moved forward a lot closer.
"Longbow, free attack, ten shots!"
Yu Sheng ordered loudly, and in an instant, the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air roared, and the rain of arrows in the main piece was like a dark cloud, which immediately enveloped the enemy's phalanx, followed by the second wave, the third wave.
The sergeants of the enemy army desperately held their shields high to defend against the rain of arrows, but the number of arrow feathers was so large and so dense that many sergeants would fall with each wave of arrow rain.
Ten waves of arrows were quickly fired, and the entire phalanx of the enemy army, like a field battered by a rainstorm, fell in pieces. Such a dense offensive made the enemy army unable to defend against it, and in this wave, thirty percent of the enemy troops died on the battlefield.
But as expected, the enemy phalanx gathered in an instant, forming a dense phalanx again, and the footsteps did not stop, calmly approaching the direction of the city wall.
For the rest of his life, his eyes were cold.
He ordered to use such a volley of ten bows and arrows to pour down in an instant, hoping to disrupt the enemy's disposition, cause a riot in his phalanx, and then take advantage of this moment of commotion to destroy the city-rushing carts in one fell swoop, but it backfired, and the enemy's phalanx assembled a little faster than he imagined.
"Such a sergeant, is there a problem with their generals' brains when they are used in siege warfare?" Of course, Huang Yuchen also saw the changes in the enemy army's formation, and he was also surprised by the changes in the enemy's formation in an instant. Such sergeants and front-line generals must be an army of tigers and wolves who have experienced a hundred battles, and such tacit cooperation has also been honed in countless battlefield battles. But no matter how you look at it, even if the enemy army now dispatches the city carts and the city pushing towers, they can't take Changxiang City in one go, so isn't this kind of attack just to let the sergeants in front die?
"The enemy general doesn't want to give us any chance. Yu Sheng looked at the enemy phalanx not far from the city, replied to Huang Yuchen softly, and then immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Prepare the bow and crossbow!"
Before the words fell, the enemy shield sergeant in the first row had already entered the range of the bow and crossbow, and Yu Sheng gave an order, and a row of crossbow arrows galloped, instantly knocking down a whole row of sergeants.
Subsequently, Yu Sheng ordered all the sergeants to activate the crossbow arrows five times, and again ordered to prepare the rolling stones, and the enemy's charging carts were immediately within the range of the crossbow arrows, and if the gate was broken, it would definitely be defeated.
At this time, Huang Yuchen was thinking about the words of the rest of his life, combined with the current fighting style for the rest of his life, he suddenly understood the intention of the enemy general.
The sergeant major of the Dongwangfu drove straight into the enclave, and the number of cavalry was probably known to the enemy army a long time ago. In view of the combat effectiveness of the black-armored iron cavalry on the plain before, the enemy army used a plan to invite the king into the urn, so that the rest of his life would enter Changxiang City with the army, minus the powerful power of the cavalry. In this way, as long as you enter the city for the rest of your life, the rest of the things will be much easier.
No matter how good the war horse is, the weight of the long-distance attack cannot exceed three hundred catties, and the adult sergeant plus the full-body battle armor and weapons will exceed two hundred catties, plus the military rations and other sundries carried, the remaining weight is easy to calculate.
In this way, even if the rest of his life enters Changxiang City unscathed, the war materials will definitely be stretched, and the intention of the enemy general is to keep attacking and consuming all the materials in Changxiang City, so as to drag the Dongwangfu Expeditionary Force to death.
Looking at it this way, I really don't want to give any chance.
The elite of the enemy army, but also a lion in a hundred battles, into such a lifeless battle, if you want to protect the gate of Changxiang City for the rest of your life, you will definitely defend with all your might, and the war materials consumed cannot be accurately calculated;
Without the ability to kill from a distance, the only thing left is hand-to-hand combat. With the number of enemy troops, even if the black armor sergeant can be ten at a time, he will not be able to kill all the enemy troops and achieve victory. If you lose most or all of your combat strength in Changxiang City, then Wufeng City will lose all your efforts.
It's just that there is one thing that Huang Yuchen didn't think clearly, the enemy army has already introduced himself into Changxiang City, but why didn't he besiege it without attacking, forcing the soldiers of Dongwangfu to break through Changxiang City, wouldn't this reduce a lot of sacrifices?
And the rest of his life is also very strange, how did he know that after entering Changxiang City, the enemy army will definitely attack desperately to extinguish his side.
"Knock! knock!"
Rolling stones kept smashing into the enemy phalanx under the city, and at this moment, the enemy's rushing cart was less than ten zhang away from the city gate.
The sergeants on the city wall desperately shot arrows and feathers to shoot the sergeants who advanced the city-rushing carts, while the enemy sergeants, in the midst of these ten thousand arrows, desperately pushed forward the city-rushing vehicles.
The sergeants on both sides are almost in a frenzy, the enemy troops under the city are desperately advancing, regardless of casualties, and the sergeants on the city are desperately attacking, regardless of attrition.
The two gates of Changxiang City, shouting and killing, screaming, and the sound of bows and crossbows breaking through the air are endless.
At the front gate, two push-city towers that are the same height as the city wall of Changxiang City, rushed to the city car one step ahead and topped the city wall.
"Wow!"
The wooden door on the tower opened instantly, and three enemy soldiers jumped from the tower.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen rushed out of his body, lifted the steel knife, and went straight to a push-city tower.
"Knock! knock!"
Under the city, the rushing car had already reached the foot of Changxiang City under the enemy's desperate advance, and several sergeants pushed a huge siege cone and smashed it into the gate of Changxiang City.
Huang Yuchen slashed to death the first enemy sergeant who jumped down, the long knife in his hand slashed left and right, and the fighting spirit surged out, the enemy army had rushed to the city, and this was not the time to keep his hands. The pale yellow fighting spirit was wrapped in a steel knife, and with a swing of the knife, an enemy soldier was killed on the spot; none of the enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall were the enemy of Huang Yuchen.
In terms of the rest of his life, it is even more so, the martial artist cultivation burst out without reservation, and a sword qi slashed out, and two enemy soldiers died tragically on the spot, and at this moment, the rest of his life killed on the top of the Tuicheng Tower again, and slashed the long knife in his hand to slash the enemy sergeants who kept coming up.
"Knock! knock!"
There were two more sounds of rushing carts hitting the wooden door, Huang Yuchen also killed the top of the city tower at this moment, and the other soldiers on the city wall, using the remaining materials on the city wall, desperately smashed downward, rolling stones and sassholes smashed on the enemy's big shield, many enemy soldiers died tragically on the spot, but there were other soldiers who immediately supplemented it, and the big shield went up to defend against the attack of the city.
At this moment, the attacking enemy army has suffered all casualties, but in the enemy phalanx, there is no sound of withdrawal, and the attacking enemy army is also doing its best, looking at this, without breaking the gate of Changxiang City, it will definitely not retreat.
At the same time, Huang Yuchen slashed and killed an enemy soldier who climbed up in front of him, and when he looked forward, the phalanx in the distance of the enemy army changed again, and a neat queue appeared, quickly approaching the direction of the city wall.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen's eyes froze, and he waved his hand to slash and slash an enemy soldier who climbed up again, and quickly waved one hand in the air, and in an instant, a pale yellow spell appeared in the air.
