Chapter 255: The Battle of the Guard
"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", Zhao Zilong fired three arrows in a row!
Three more people have fallen at the front of the Eagle Division array!
As the corpses fell from their horses, their tightly knit array began to loosen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fifth arrow followed!
For this last arrow, Zhao Zilong used a crescent arrow.
The total length of the crescent arrow is 2 feet 9 inches. The arrow is made of stainless steel, in the shape of a crescent shovel, one inch and five minutes long, one inch and two minutes wide, the head is sharp, and the arrow feathers are made of eagle feathers. This kind of arrow is powerful and heavy, and after being shot with a strong bow, it specializes in melee heavy cavalry.
Zhao Zilong's target this time is the Eagle Banner of the Eagle Division's forward battalion that is at the forefront!
Arrow to!
With a "click", the flagpole broke in response.
The eagle flag fluttering in the wind fell to the ground!
There was a commotion in the Eagle Division's forward battalion.
The war horse was frightened and ran in all directions, and the flank cavalry of the Eagle Division Samurai was suppressed for a while before stabilizing the situation.
Seeing that Zhao Zilong's archery skills were like a god, and the sharp spirit of the Eagle Master was greatly frustrated, everyone in the Gegen Department couldn't help but burst out into thunderous cheers, and the sound shook the sky.
After a moment of scrambling, the Eagle Division regrouped and saw their archers begin to charge in rows.
Under the beating of war drums, the Eagle Division launched an overwhelming round of fire attacks.
Each group of archers flew in an arc from left to right in front of the Gegan camp.
The archers on the horse leaned sideways towards the camp and fired arrows into the camp because of their extremely fast hands, so that each archer could shoot at least three arrows into the camp during the time they were running!
After shooting the arrow, the rider rides back to his own array and waits for the second round of charge.
In this way, you can rain arrows like a net, and the horse archer moves quickly, so it is not easy to be hit by enemy archers.
Seeing the Eagle Division's tactics, Yan Long smiled and said, "It seems that this time the Eagle Division came and was not prepared to fight a tough battle. Such a cavalry and archery method can deal with cavalry, but against the camp fortress, it is just an itch and scratch the boots. ”
So, Yan Long ordered: "The archers of each team should not release their arrows first, and they should hide in their bunkers." Wait for their people to gather more in front of the village. After that, the teams listened to my orders and fired a salvo together. ”
The banner officer passed down Yan Long's order.
All the archers in Gegen took refuge behind the fortified bunkers that had been built in advance, avoiding the rain of locusts and arrows from the Eagle Division.
Each of these bunkers resembles a hill, like an arrow tower, and some are even higher than the fence of Dazhai. On the "hillside", from low to high, it is divided into several layers, each of which is protected by chest-high planks of thick wooden planks.
When Yan Long gave the order to hide in the bunker, all the archers hid behind thick planks and let the eagle division's arrows rage.
After shooting a few rounds, the Eagle Division saw that there was no movement in Dazhai. Then the gallers of the cavalry were emboldened, and they reined in their horses, stopped about 150 meters in front of Dazhai and began to fire in batches.
After a while, one of the riders ran out of arrows, and was ready to go back to his rear to replenish them. In between these transitions, the density of the arrows dropped a lot.
Seeing that the time had come, Yan Long ordered the herald: "Release the arrow!"
Receiving the order, the Gegen shooters got up from their bunkers one after another, and in accordance with the pre-rehearsed order, they fired back at the Eagle Division shooters outside the camp in turn.
The first group of archers release the arrows, after shooting, take a step back, and prepare for the next round of arrows, the second group of archers immediately fill the vacancy, release the arrows, after shooting, retreat...... And so on until the herald called a halt.
The rain of arrows instantly covered everything from 150 meters to 200 meters in front of the wall.
Shooting like this compares the density of arrows.
But the difference is that the archers in the Gegen region have cover to cover them, while the Eagle Division has nowhere to avoid, so this round of arrow rain shooting almost killed a group of Eagle Division archers in front of the village.
Only to hear the horn sound of "woo" in the Eagle Division's large array, after the Eagle Division left nearly 300 corpses, their cavalry archers began to retreat beyond the range of arrows.
In the first round of offensive and defensive confrontation, only a few people were killed and injured in Gegen!
The Eagle Division temporarily stopped the offensive.
Yan Long sat on a high platform made of earth and stone in the middle of the village, and watched the eagle division in the distance move frequently, only to see that they emptied the few baggage carts, and erected a wooden frame eight feet high on the cart, and then the wooden frame was covered with cowhide, and made the simplest chariot that could avoid bows and arrows.
In the end, these dozens of baggage trucks were gathered together and began to be pushed towards the gate of Dazhai.
Behind the baggage cart, followed by a small number of shield soldiers, holding shields to form a "shield cover" to prevent arrows from falling from the sky.
Under the cover of shields and cowhide chariots, about 500 infantrymen with hooks and ropes advanced in front of the walled gate. They planned to put a hook on the wooden door, and then hundreds of people worked together to drag the gate down. Only when the gate is opened can the cavalry of the Eagle Division come in handy.
Yan Long smiled when he saw it.
This kind of attacking tricks, he has already thought of a way to deal with it.
Arrows rained down on the cowhide chariots and on the shields above their heads, and some of the arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, killing some of the Eagle Division soldiers.
Although they left behind the corpses all the way, they still advanced all the way, and they came to a place twenty meters away in front of the gate very smoothly.
Then they suddenly accelerated their advance.
As long as you rush to the front of the walled gate, everything will be easy to do.
Before coming to the gate, the infantry behind the chariot jumped out at once, and they had iron hooks in their hands, and behind the iron hooks were ropes, all they had to do was to hook the iron hooks through the gaps in the wooden pillars of the gate, and then grab the ropes and drag them hard.
However, to the despair of these infantrymen, there was no gap in the gate at all!
Because the gate is reinforced with iron sheets, and all the cracks are pasted with mud made of plaster and cooked glutinous rice pulp, the wooden door made with such a process is as strong as a stone door, and it is not easy to chisel into it with an iron hook!
They are despairing, they are at a loss, and something that makes them even more desperate is coming!
Overhead, at some point, there were several wells that were taller than the Dazhai parapet, and these wells were like moving arrow towers.
It's just that on these arrow towers, there are no arrows at this time.
It's a falling rock!
More than a dozen round stones were thrown from the well cart more than ten meters high.
Quite a few people were immediately smashed into meat sauce, and the Eagle Master Samurai underneath was in chaos.
However, this is not the end, the most immoral thing is that these rolling stones are still tied to the "ten thousand enemies"!
The so-called "10,000 enemies" is to first find a quilt, spread straw, wrap gunpowder in it, light it with fire, and throw it into the pile of besiegers.
The reason why the "10,000 enemies" were tied to the stone with hemp rope was because the force of the stone should be used to open the shield protection, so that the "10,000 enemies" could penetrate deeper into the crowd of the Eagle Division soldiers.
The "Ten Thousand Enemies" burn so fast and terrifying that it can almost be described as the flames of hell, and these quilts dipped in gunpowder float and burn wherever they go, as long as they are touched, they are like demons possessed, no matter how they roll, they will burn so much that even your mother doesn't know you.
The Gegen warriors above threw more than a dozen "10,000 enemies" at the Eagle Division soldiers gathered in front of the Dazhai Gate, and all of a sudden, the bottom turned into a sea of fire. The grille and gate at the root of the grid are plastered with plaster, which can prevent fire, but is not afraid of fire.
One by one, the soldiers of the Eagle Division were burned to the ground and fluttered in all directions.
The remnants of the soldiers began to retreat, and the samurai of Gegen "greeted" them with bows and arrows on the arrow tower!
A burst of shots, and then another one fell.
The corpse smelled of burning, mixed with blood, and it was disgusting.
At this time, the front of Dazhai has become a Shura hell.
And the Eagle Division still couldn't set foot in the camp.
