Chapter 552: Hunting (2)
The Qin army rushed to the bottom of the pond, but saw the flags on the city wall, the halberds were lined up, the bows and crossbows were stretched out, the drums shook the sky, and the allied soldiers were waiting for the battle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jinyang Hou Ti immediately stepped forward and looked carefully, feeling a little cold.
He found that the bows and crossbows and trebuchets of the coalition army were very different from theirs, but he didn't know how powerful it was, but he felt that the defenders were very strong, and he felt that this city was difficult to break.
It was already afternoon, the weather was hot, and after the wind stopped, it was even more stuffy.
The weather in the south really makes these Qin troops unadaptable, this season is in the northwest, everything is already depressed, and the wind is cold, but here the night is damp and cold, morning and evening are OK, very cool, the lack of noon is very hot, it is the kind of heat that is very humid, and the soldiers of the Qin army feel difficult to breathe.
This time is not a good time to attack the city, but the Marquis of Jinyang did not have time to wait, so he ordered the siege.
Guan Ting personally commanded the battle, but the first wave of attacks was repelled mercilessly, losing more than 2,000 people, and even Guan Ting was hit by a crossbow arrow, and he just cut his arm without breaking his muscles and bones.
There is no shortcut to this kind of siege warfare, it is to fight hard, and whoever holds on, the victory belongs to him.
The Marquis of Jinyang also fought, personally supervised the battle, attacked in echelons without interruption, and all the trebuchet crossbows were put into long-range attacks.
Stone eggs flew in the air, crossbow arrows with thick forearms flew at the target with a whistling sound, and the dust on the city wall was smashed by the flying stones, and the wall bricks fell off one after another.
Crossbow bolts slammed into the battlements, half a man tall and two feet thick, followed by a series of screams.
And the crossbow arrows shot from the city wall, but the distance is super far, extremely accurate, each arrow will destroy a Qin army trebuchet or crossbow, less than half an hour, half of the Qin army's trebuchets and crossbows were destroyed, this powerful crossbow arrow, frightened Guan Ting sent people to force the Marquis of Jin Yang and others out of the range.
Siege warfare has always been the most tragic and deadly.
The number of casualties rose sharply, both on the attacking side and on the defending side.
Of course, most of the people who died heavily were ordinary soldiers, who played a role in attrition, and the critical moment was the elite attack.
Just when the siege battle was at its most intense, there was a commotion in the rear of the Qin army, and the Marquis of Jinyang's face was dark, and he was about to get angry, but he saw a black line appear in the dust in the distance.
The Marquis of Jinyang couldn't help but twitch in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, judging from his experience, this was a huge cavalry team coming quickly.
He glanced at Zhou Ge, but Zhou Ge also looked at him, and the faces of both of them became very ugly.
"Didn't the scouts say they didn't find any signs of the coalition?"
Zhou Ge muttered.
"Where did this cavalry come from, or did it appear behind us?"
"Reported that a large number of enemy troops were found approaching from the north. ”
When the Marquis of Jinyang heard this, he almost didn't plant off the horse.
"Master Hou, quickly order the rear team to switch to a defensive formation, hurry!"
Seeing that the Marquis of Jinyang was stunned, Zhou Ge was anxious and shouted at the Marquis of Jinyang.
The Marquis of Jin Yang woke up, and he didn't pay attention to Zhou Ge's disrespect for him, so he hurriedly ordered the rear army to quickly switch to a defensive formation.
Guan Ting commanded the siege in front, and suddenly felt that the soldiers behind him were in a panic, and just wanted to scold, but he felt the ground shake, this vibration is not the sound of throwing stones, because the vibration sound is rhythmic, they are all generals of a hundred battles, no need to look, he also knows that there was an accident, it should be a large group of cavalry attack.
His heart sank, and if it was so, the battle was over.
"Team 10 for me.
The warlords are killed, and those who are afraid to move forward are killed.
Rush to the top of the city, and the reward for breaking through the city gate is 100 taels 、、、"
Guan Ting knew that he could only turn the corner by breaking the city now, as for the back, he couldn't care about it, it was up to the Hou Ye and them, and he had to fight for the future, so he sent the most elite brigade and personally went into battle to take the lead in rushing to the city gate.
The warlords were also in a hurry, and followed behind the siege team with machetes in hand, and from time to time the soldiers who lagged behind and those who were defeated in front were hacked to death.
The Warlords slashed the defeated soldiers mercilessly with red eyes, driving the siege soldiers forward like a flock of sheep.
Cheng Dongxing, the general of the 'Apocalypse Army', did not hit the Qin army's defensive array like the cavalry of the nomadic domain, he took the war horse and made a gesture, and the flag bearer behind him waved the flag in his hand, and the galloping cavalry was divided into two and turned into two big dragons, knights on horseback, holding strong bows, and shot arrows at the Qin army on the galloping war horses, and then the two cavalry turned into two oversized irregular semicircles, and kept opening their bows and arrows alternately.
The swordsmanship of these knights is tricky and accurate, not the kind of shooting from the back, but free-shooting, each of them can shoot three arrows, and then they are out of range, and they come back in a circle and shoot three more, and there are almost no missed arrows.
Don't look at the Qin army holding a huge shield, but the knights of the 'Apocalypse Army' can find the gap in the shield on the running warhorse, and every arrow will injure one person, although not every arrow can kill one person, but it will definitely make the person who is shot lose their combat power.
The Qin army's screams were endless, but their bows and arrows could not shoot the cavalry who kept a safe distance.
This shows that the bow of the 'Apocalypse Army' is stronger than that of the Qin Army.
Long range.
Only the arrows of those Qin generals could occasionally hurt individual knights, but they were immediately counterattacked violently, and nine times out of ten they would be hated.
The tactics of the 'Apocalypse Army' are actually a war of attrition, which can hurt the Qin army, but cannot break through his defensive line.
However, after another army appeared, the Qin army's defensive array was torn open several times in an instant.
The 'Wolf Hunters' have arrived.
When they arrived, the Qin army didn't notice it.
Just when all their energy was focused on defending against the arrows of the 'Apocalypse Army', they suddenly found that those cavalry horses were like eggs under their stomachs, and something had fallen from under their stomachs, and before they could see what it was, these things suddenly came to their formation, and when they saw that it was the person holding a sharp weapon, these people had already killed them.
It's too fast, it's like being dazzled, and in a flash, the weapon is on the neck, and when I feel the neck cold, the scenery in front of me rolls up, and the last thing I see is a very familiar body without a head, spurting blood.
When the raid of the 'Wolf Hunter Army' tore a few holes, the standard-bearers of the 'Apocalypse Army' waved their flags and waved their flags, and the cavalry that was turning in circles roared and rushed into the camp of the Qin army in an instant.
This is the first time that the 'Apocalypse Army' and the 'Wolf Hunter Army' have cooperated in combat. Unexpectedly, such a tacit understanding, the cavalry rushed into the advance group, and the nightmare of the infantry began.
One of the cavalry killed the north, and their task was to meet the local army and part of the coalition army of Baling Kingdom in the north, and their combat effectiveness was not high, and they could not break through the defensive formation of the Qin army at all.
Just after the cavalry rushed into the camp of the Qin army, the butcher Zhang Yu led people to kill.
