Outside the Huling Pass, there is no longer a beacon fire lit in various places.

The vanguard of the Qi army is under the Huling Pass.

Gale, yellow sand, barren land, and the gale blew these dry loess into the air, slamming down on those flying flags.

Outside the city, in front of the battle formation of the Qi army, there were constantly heralds galloping to pass military orders.

At the head of the city of Huling Pass, all the soldiers at the head of the city subconsciously clenched their weapons.

A high-pitched horn suddenly sounded.

In the past, when the Qi State marched west to attack the Ye State, most of them were tentative attacks, but today it is obviously different.

A series of siege equipment in the Qi army, such as ladders, storming vehicles, and door rams, have been pushed to the front of the military formation by the sword and shield soldiers at the forefront of the military formation, so as to consume the opponent's arrows.

Once the archers reach the attack range, they will shoot the arrows in the quiver one by one into the Huling Pass, suppressing the enemy, so that the opponent's archers dare not shoot arrows.

As long as the defenders were unstable, with the bravery of the soldiers of the Qi State, they were defeated in a battle after landing in the city.

But today's siege battle is obviously different, under the auspices of the new coach Dong Haoyu, this time the Qi army obviously showed different tactics from other armies when attacking the city.

It stands to reason that when attacking the city, the cavalry was completely ineffective, but today the Qi army was put on the battlefield by Dong Haoyu, and the six thousand Qi troops were on the left and right flanks of the siege army array.

In this regard, Dou Jiankai was also a little puzzled, urged the horse to Dong Haoyu's side, and asked: "I don't understand a little, the cavalry can't participate in the siege battle, why do you put the cavalry on the battlefield?"

"I deploy like this, so naturally I have my own arrangement. ”

Dong Haoyu didn't have the appearance of being a hanger at the moment, looked up at the head of Huling Pass, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Huling Pass, there are cliffs on both sides, the east city wall is nearly ten zhang high, and there is a wide moat below, I don't know how many soldiers are going to die on the way to the city." ”

"Then you are still in such a situation, going to attack the city?"

"And what do you think I should do?"

The corners of Dong Haoyu's mouth were slightly raised and said: "I don't know all along, why do you have to attack the city wall when attacking the city, is it because the people above can kill us with arrows or something?"

"Why should I storm the walls when they are high?"

"Rather than let these soldiers die in vain in the tug-of-war against the city walls, it is better for us to change our offensive strategy. ”

Dong Haoyu's gaze was locked on the city gate of Huling Pass.

"The main point of your attack today is at the city gate?"

"Of course. ”

Dong Haoyu smiled and said: "Once the city gate is breached, the cavalry will immediately enter to expand the advantage, I dare not say that my Great Qi soldiers are all brave, but my Great Qi soldiers are not afraid of death." ”

"The world says that in the Northwest Ye Kingdom, every soldier is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible in hand-to-hand combat. ”

"But they seem to have forgotten that my Qi country is at the Central Plains Portal, is the Central Plains Portal worse than their Northwest Portal?"

"We have also been at war with Donghu for many years, and my Daqi soldiers are not vegetarians. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Haoyu slowly raised his hand: "Beat the drum, march!"

In an instant, 50,000 siege soldiers let out a shout in unison, and then methodically pressed towards the east wall of Huling Pass.

The soldiers of the Qi State in green armor looked like a green moving meadow, and they looked terrifying.

As these soldiers advanced to a distance of less than five hundred steps from Huling Pass, this Yeqi siege battle, which had a profound impact on future generations, officially began.

The first to counterattack the Qi army was the Ye army's arrow array, and the Ye army's archers took their bows and arrows when the Qi army advanced to 400 paces away, and when the 300 supplements were completed, they shot their arrows into the sky.

Airplanes......

A handful of black, dense, smoke-like arrows rushed into the sky, flying to the highest point with black pressure, and then turned straight down, falling into the military formation of the Qi army.

That scene was like a dark cloud covering the top, and it was also like an immortal descending into the world.

Thousands of arrows fell into the Qi army's formation one after another, as if they would never stop.

For a while, the sound of arrows crashing into shields, the sound of armor breaking into flesh, and the wails of soldiers after they fell to the ground were endless.

The commander of the thousand men shouted hard in the military formation, commanding the soldiers not to panic because of this, and not to disrupt their own formation because of this.

Soon, the originally restless Qi army formation stabilized, and the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields one after another to resist the arrows fired by the other party.

In such a siege battle, the soldiers were extremely helpless, and they were powerless to fight back when they were shot by other people's arrows.

Every soldier was thinking in his heart, soon, hurry, he was about to enter his own shot, and he would be able to fight back immediately.

The soldiers looked embarrassed, but they still didn't seem to see their compatriots falling to the ground and wailing when they were shot by arrows, and even stepped directly on the corpses of their comrades.

Finally, after paying a certain price, they finally entered a distance of two hundred steps from the Huling Kanto City Wall, and their archers were finally able to fight back.

Under the command of the commander of the thousand and the commander of the ten thousand, the Qi soldiers also set up bows and arrows one after another.

The same scene was played out again in the Ye's garrison, where a Ye's sergeant was shot down by the enemy's arrows, and his own arrows continued to fall into the enemy's formation.

To put it bluntly, a siege war is a war of attrition, which consumes the manpower and morale of both sides, and it also depends on who can't hold that breath first.

Whoever can't hold back will inevitably be seized by the other party and crush the enemy in one go.

But even if the Qi army's arrow array is sharp, the arrow rain sprinkled by Huling Pass is still orderly, which makes many soldiers very puzzled.

He had seen a Ye sergeant being shot into a hedgehog by an arrow, while the archers at the nearby city were still shooting above the standard arrows.

The commander couldn't help pouting secretly, and said that all the generals and soldiers in the Northwest Ye Kingdom were brave and good at fighting and not afraid of death, and he didn't believe it at first, but now he really believes it.

Are these Ye people really not afraid of death?

When the arrow comes over, normal people will have an instinctive dodge action, even if there are still such people on the side of the Qi army.

But no one on the Ye army left their position at all, even if they were pierced through the body by arrows, as long as they could still shoot arrows, they would not take a step back.

Could it be that all the people in the Ye army are such brave people?

Of course not.

Because this Ye army is different from other Ye armies.

As mentioned above, Ye State borders Gumo, and there have been wars for many years, until Chu Yujia's father Chu Qianwen was born more than ten years ago and became the chief general of the northwest defenders, the situation has improved, and Chu Qianwen's iron cavalry can compete with those tribes who grew up on horseback in the desert, and even crush.

Of course, among the defenders of the northwest, how could there be no infantry troops?

It's just that the infantry army is not as dazzling as the cavalry, but it is also a top soldier who dares to die and dare to fight.

After Chu Qianwen was convicted, the entire Northwest Defenders were disbanded, and the nearly 100,000 Northwest Defenders were discharged from the army because they couldn't accept the fact that the general was convicted, and the rest of them entered the various armies.

Huling Pass, located in the southeast of Ye State, received a full 20,000 soldiers from the original defenders of the northwest.

The world only knew that the cavalry brought out by Chu Qianwen could crisscross the northwest, but no one mentioned the effectiveness of this infantry army.

An old soldier who has been in the army for nearly ten years stared coldly at the Qi troops under the city, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "Brothers, when we were in the northwest, we killed barbarians, and they were all guys on horseback." ”

"The general was afraid that we would die in vain, so he did not let us foot soldiers go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but only let us fight some siege battles, and there were very few siege battles. ”

"The general is gone today, and the Northwest Cavalry that once made us proud is gone, and even the Northwest Army is gone. ”

"But today I put my words here, I was born as a person of the Northwest Army, and I died as a dead person of the Northwest Army, and today I will use my enthusiasm to let these Qi dogs see the majesty of our Northwest Army. ”

"In a word, if you want to enter the territory of my Ye country, you have to pay the price of blood. ”

Wave after wave of arrows, one after another, the soldiers on both sides fell, one by one.

The head of Huling Pass, Ye Bian, looked at the former Northwest Army soldiers who were obviously different from these soldiers he brought out in terms of momentum, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If that man was still there, would Qi really dare to attack Ye State?

If that man is still there, will Ye Guo still be the loser in the last national war?

It's a pity that the man is no longer there.

Two hundred steps, for the soldiers of both sides, it seems like thousands of miles away, and it is so difficult to push forward a step, and if you don't take a step, the soldiers who rush forward will be shot down.

The rain of arrows of the Ye army is not weak, but it falls in the dense swarm of locusts, like a drop in the bucket, and it is still inexhaustible.

The pitch-black locust-like slightly crowded foot soldiers, ignoring the corpses and wounded under their feet, continued to rush forward.

A burly armored archer in the city drew his bow like a full moon and was about to shoot at a commander of the Qi army who was loudly giving the order to storm the moat, when he was shot through the throat by a feathered arrow.

His body was haphazardly pulled to one place, and soon the archers behind him quickly filled the position and continued to search for the location of the general of the Qi army.

This is the sharpshooter in the army, who specializes in attacking and killing those middle-level generals on the battlefield.

In this siege battle, I don't know how many Qi commanders and centurions died under their sudden cold arrows.

The wind is surging in Huling Pass, and how many soldiers are home.

Siege warfare hurts both sides, not one side or the other.

This is war, this is the cruelty of war.
