The large oars and shields were lifted out one by one by one by the auxiliary soldiers and began to line up in front of the formation. The atmosphere on the entire battlefield seemed to solidify at this moment, waiting for the explosion at that moment.

Jiang Feng noticed that Yang Kan, Ding Man and Guo Tai had all led a fully armed soldiers into the designated Tibetan soldiers as planned, and Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai were each occupying a section of the city wall and preparing to enter the battle.

Finally, the drum sounds on the opposite side began to ring, and the oar and shield formation pushed forward, like a tiny yellow mud wave surging slowly but firmly.

Yang Kan also came close to him, "Erlang, finally here."

"What should come is always coming, and I have been waiting for this moment." Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged. "Register! The fallen wooden tower will not move, the bed crossbow is ready, the archers are on guard, and each department will proceed according to the plan, and there is no need to report it to me again!"

The command soldiers surrounded Jiang Feng's side immediately repeated it and ran away, and the general's order was passed on to various sections of the city walls.

The first formation was dominated by the oar and shield formation, as well as the auxiliary soldiers and even civil servants they protected. These auxiliary soldiers and civil servants had to throw the earth bag into the moat and form several passages for the ants to climb the wall smoothly. This is an indispensable prelude.

It was a waste to expose the power of the fallen wooden tower on these soldiers. Jiang Feng did not intend to do so. Just the improved catapult cart was enough for these guys to drink a pot.

After the ants thieves siege, the Ministry of Materials and Administration Office made every effort to improve the catapult car. There was no major improvement in its power. It mainly improved the durability of its key components, so that the catapult car could work longer at high frequency and high intensity, so that it would not be damaged or unable to work before a war was completed.

The creaking sound of the creaking crossbow on the bed makes people get goosebumps on their bodies, and the thick crossbow arrows are ready to go.

At this time, Gushi City was no longer Gushi City more than a month ago. Since the ants thieves retreated, Jiang Feng knew that there would be this battle with the Caizhou army, so he asked the tutors to do their best to make various instruments and armors.

From grass and wood armor to slash crossbows, to catapults and bed crossbows, it can be said that all the craftsmen apprentices in Gushi City have been included in the military system and have made every effort to serve this war.

The most preferred method is to ensure the crossbow and catapults. However, although the long-range strike weapon such as the bed crossbow is lacking in accuracy, it is the greatest in terms of power and deterrence, and its craftsmanship level is far less than that of the crossbow, so He Decai also accumulated enough energy to make more than 30 pieces.

The drums suddenly sounded, and the oar and shield formation suddenly accelerated, covering the auxiliary soldiers and civilians behind him rushing in. In just three hundred steps, it only took a few charges to pounce in front of him.

Of course, the oar shield formation could not cover up the huge auxiliary soldiers and civilians behind it. As the sound of the crossbow shocking the heart and lungs of the bed crossbow suddenly remembered, dozens of thick crossbow arrows suddenly shot out like a storm.

Some of the crossbow arrows concentrated the frontier of the oar and shield formation, stirring up a wave of loess; a small number shot the oar and shield, and the huge impact force pierced the oar and shield made of skin and wood, and the oar and shield made of skin and wood broke down. The screams were obviously the soldiers holding the shield behind them suffered a huge impact and were seriously injured.

Some of them flew over the oar shield and fell into the camp of auxiliary soldiers and civilians behind the oar shield formation. They immediately rolled up blood and chaos, and screams and screams one after another.

Compared to more than a month ago, the skill and efficiency of the bed crossbow operation soldiers were no longer the same. Although he still seemed a little panicked in the tense state of war, Jiang Feng was already very satisfied. At least, he was no longer the same as when he fought with the ant thief.

However, as the oar shield formation continued to advance without hesitation, the bed crossbow obviously could not stop such a huge torrent from advancing. Of course, the Gushi City defending the city could not stop here.

The crossbow arrows were like a storm passing by, and immediately blew the auxiliary soldiers and civilians behind the oar and shield formation out of a white ground. The shrill screams mixed with the red blood on the yellow land, forming a spectacular and tragic ink painting, which made the generals standing on the top of the city wall shocked.

Accompanied by the sound of "bang bang bang bang bang" again, the second round of shooting of the Jie Zhang Bi once again formed a strip-shaped blank in the covered Caizhou Army auxiliary camp.

Seeing the partners lying in pools of blood, struggling and screaming in pain, not to mention the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, even the soldiers of the Caizhou army would have great fear and fear.

The officers behind them are about to play their role at this time, shouting, urging the auxiliary soldiers and civilians to speed up, and even marching and supervising the formation.

The oar and shield formation in front will not stop. The further away from the oar and shield formation, the greater the possibility of being hit by the oar and shield arrow. It is not that the auxiliary soldiers and civilians do not understand this principle, but that the fear at that time made them subconsciously want to stop and turn around and escape from death.

Along with the reprimand and angry scolding of the officers, the screen card also began to be held high. This is a leather card specially used to fight the attacks of crossbows and bows. It is held high after the oar and shield formation, so as to avoid damage to the soldiers behind the oar and shield formation to the maximum extent.

The formation of the Caizhou Army further became looser and the propulsion speed was also accelerating. However, at this time, they had to face the attack of the Gushi Army's most powerful weapon, the whirlwind cannon, that is, the catapult cart, just like the ant thief.

With a whistling sound, a patch of black clouds whistled with an unparalleled strong wind. The stones fell one after another, and the soldiers' bones and muscles were broken, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, which was extremely miserable.

Whether it is a shield or a screen card, it is difficult to resist the baptism of huge rocks with huge inertia. It can be said that the shield is broken, the card is broken, the person is dead, and the black clouds are shrouded in which area, which is a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Even Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wudi and other characters from the Eight Pillars of Ruyang were used to fighting on the battlefield, but when they saw such a fierce and wild long-range weapon attack, they still couldn't help but change their face slightly.

"I didn't expect that the Gushi Army's catapult car was so powerful, with such a long range and such a large scale. I've long heard that the Gushi catapult car array is powerful and well-deserved!"

Yuan Wenhuai couldn't help but sigh, which also aroused Yuan Wenyu's ambition next to him: "Third brother, why don't I go and give it a try?"

Yuan Wenjin was carrying a long strip of objects wrapped tightly in leather bags, and an arrow bag was hung around his waist. The red arrow shaft and the firebird feathers made people imagine.

Yuan Wuwei shook his head, "It's not the time yet, let's take a look. Although the Gushi Army's catapult cart is beneficial, if this can stop our Caizhou Army's attack, then they will be too arrogant. I don't think Jiang Feng will be so careless. He must have a killer weapon."

With the alternating baptism of the crossbow and the catapult cart, the archers also started to attack. The triple strike quickly woven into a net of death, tightly covering the Caizhou army.

At this time, the archers of the Caizhou Army also braved the stone rain and arrow forest, using their well-trained shooting level to suppress the Gushi Army crossbowmen and archers on the city walls, so as to reduce the defense system built by the oar and shield formation that followed one after another, so as to avoid causing too much casualties to the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who began to surge.

Zhao Lan and Yuan Wenyu both arrived at the front line. For them, it was difficult for them to have much impact on them, whether it was flying stones or wandering arrows. What they need now is to fill the trench in the shortest time, and then start a tentative attack to find the weaknesses of Gushi City Defense.

Until this time, both sides still maintained a certain degree of restraint.

For the Caizhou army, this kind of loss is acceptable. After all, if you want to conquer a city, it is impossible to do so without paying a certain price of casualties.

For the Gushi Army, this situation is also acceptable. The successive attacks also caused considerable losses to the Caizhou Army. Although it was mainly auxiliary soldiers and civilians, hundreds of living corpses were placed there, and the wounded soldiers who came forward had to withdraw at the risk of death. This psychological impact would also have a huge blow to the morale of an army.

"Quick, hurry, fill in the place!" Zhao Lan had already arrived at the moat under the city wall.

Arrows on the moat two meters wide were raining. Rounds of auxiliary soldiers and civilians rushed up and threw the earth bags in their hands into the moat, and then retreated quickly. During this period, some people could never leave. The remaining auxiliary soldiers and civilians who were lucky enough to evacuate will suffer this torture and torture again, until they also fell down or the moat was filled.

The two crossbow arrows in his hand were clearly aiming at the shooting of his own crossbow arrows. Zhao Lan calmly directed the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who threw the earth bags under the cover of the oar shield and the screen cards. The oar shield and the screen cards had formed more than a dozen cover lines from the front positions to the edge of the moat. These cover lines played a huge role in protecting the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, but also attracted more catapults and crossbows to attack them.

The cover line continued to appear, which was that the shield-holding soldier was hit by a huge rock or was shot by a crossbow arrow, but soon some soldiers were filled up and continued to maintain the cover line so that the running soldiers could throw bags and evacuate faster.

It has to be admitted that the role of the main general is huge. At least Zhao Lan fought in front of the formation, and the fighting spirit of the Caizhou soldiers in this area seemed even higher.

They are not newbies who have experienced wars. They are all fierce soldiers who have fought with the Liang army for many years. They have no shortage of blood and will. As long as the master and general are there, they will have the confidence to beat anyone.

As the moats began to overflow under the filling of countless soldiers with earth bags and bodies, they began to silt, and finally became flat with the ground. Although they were still soft, as long as they filled the soil bags, this section could become the beachhead for the next attack.

Zhao Lan looked at everything in front of her with joy. Yuan Wenyu's camp on the other side was obviously still struggling, and the right and wrong was judged!

A rolling stone fell from the air, and Zhao Lan was excited and even swung the Wu hook in her hand hard. With one hook, she actually knocked the stone into dozens of pieces.
Chapter completed!
