Nine hundred and twentieth eight chapters offense and defense
South of Weiying.
Hong Xiuquan stayed in the horse and stood proudly, with a gloomy face flowing with a proud look that he was determined to win. His eyes passed through the darkness and shot coldly towards the Wei army camp.
"Dongwang, your judgment this time is correct. The Tao Demon is indeed completely unprepared." Hong Xiuquan sneered and glanced at Yang Xiuqing.
A hint of pride flashed from the corner of Yang Xiuqing's mouth and bowed, "God, since Tao Yao is not prepared, what are we waiting for? Let's fight the enemy camp in one go."
Hong Xiuquan nodded, pulled out the holy sword in his hand, and kept shouting in the direction of Wei camp, "The holy soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, slap the enemy camp for me, kill all the Wei demons, and fight for the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Fight for Heaven"
"Fight for Heaven"
The hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops arranged in the darkness were shouting like roaring mountains and seas, like a group of beasts, shattering the silence of the night.
Yang Xiuqing also waved his hand and shouted: "Blow the horn and launch an attack!"
Woo woo woo woo
In the Taiping Army, countless trumpets were blown almost at the same time, as if the door to hell was opened, and countless human-eating devils were about to kill themselves from hell.
In front of the military office, Shi Dakai took a deep breath, slashed his sword forward and shouted: "Fight for the king of heaven, fight for the kingdom of heaven, kill all the Wei demons!"
Amid the roaring sound of the sky, nearly 70,000 Taiping troops of the front army, with the roar of the shaking killing sound, broke through the formation like a tide, rushed out of the darkness, and rushed towards the Wei camp under the lights.
The sky collapses and the earth breaks, and the wind and clouds change!
Shi Dakai drove his soldiers and galloped wildly, his eyes always staring at the direction of the Wei camp.
He saw that the more than 10,000 soldiers on duty in the Wei camp were not in panic in the face of the sudden attack of his own army, but instead lined up on the camp wall, raised their spears and prepared to fight calmly.
"The Wei army was not at all panic. It was not as if we were caught off guard by us. I was afraid that Tao Yao guessed that we would attack tonight..." Shi Dakai's brows froze, and he felt a little worried.
However, at this time, he was already in a difficult position. Even if he had doubts, he had no choice but to charge.
Three hundred steps
One hundred steps
Fifty Steps
Just a few steps away, his camp was about to hit the outermost layer of the Wei army.
In the camp, countless pairs of eyes were sitting and watching these self-righteous Taiping soldiers rushing towards the camp as if they were enjoying a small show.
The Wei soldiers hid in the night had already clenched the swords and guns in their hands, and their blood was boiling to the extreme, waiting for the emperor's order.
"Your Majesty, it's almost done." Liu Ji looked at the pottery and reminded him.
The Taoist merchant nodded slightly, a cold killer ignited in the eagle's eyes, pointed at the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Beat the drum, ask the Taiping thief to taste the taste of my heavy rain crossbow again."
Bang bang bang!
In the camp, the rhythmic sound of war drums sounded instantly, overshadowing the enemy's horn.
On the inside of the camp wall, nearly 7,000 crossbowmen suddenly crawled out from the trench dug overnight. In a blink of an eye, they formed a three-row lineup, aiming at the enemy rushing out from outside.
Li Guang did not hesitate at all and shouted: "Crosscrossman, shoot arrows!"
Before the shouting came out, Li Guang loosened the bow in his hand, and a sharp arrow broke out from the string, breaking through the darkness, and instantly shot an enemy soldier to the ground.
The next second, more than 2,000 crossbowmen in the first row loosened the crossbow string almost at the same time.
Woo woo woo woo
The violent buzzing sound of the birds flying together suddenly soared into the sky. Twenty thousand sharp arrows shot out at the same time, forming a dense wall of arrows, shooting towards the oncoming Taiping Army.
Shi Dakai, who was charging, suddenly saw many people jumping out of the Wei camp. His face changed and exclaimed: "Tao Yao was indeed prepared for a long time. The whole army stopped charging and advanced in an array!"
As soon as Shi Dakai's order was passed, the Wei army's crossbow and arrow shot first, and swept towards the more than 10,000 Taiping Army, who were rushing in front and were not as good as defense.
Puff puff puff!
The arrows were like rain. In an instant, thousands of Taiping Army soldiers, both men and women, were nailed to the ground. The blood dyed the night red, and screams soared into the sky.
The Taiping Army were shocked. Without Shi Dakai's order, they stopped their crazy charges and instinctively raised the shield held in their hands high, and shrank away from each other.
Although the Wei army's crossbows were constantly shooting, and although the arrow rain was dense, enemy soldiers were constantly being shot to the ground. However, due to the shield protection, the number of enemy strokes was quickly and the power of heavy rain was greatly weakened.
Soon, the 70,000 Taiping Army stopped the rushing head-on and began to form a formation, holding up the large shields to form an iron wall, and lined up the formation to slowly advance towards the Wei Camp wall.
Shi Dakai breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of arrogance flashed across his face, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, I was prepared and suggested that the King of Heavenly Kings equip the entire army with shields, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
After gladness, Shi Dakai's face was once again ignited the determination to win. He pointed at the sword and shouted: "Wei Yao's crossbow is useless. The warriors of the heavenly kingdom continue to advance for me, chopped over their antlers, and broke through their camp walls!"
Inspired by Shi Dakai, the Taiping Army's holy soldiers quickly calmed down, held high a shield, shouted fanatical slogans, and continued to rush towards the Wei camp.
After a while, the Taiping Army advanced to the outer antlers. While holding up a large shield as a cover, they waved the sword in their hand and began to cut down the antlers frantically.
The heavy rain crossbow is still shooting endlessly, but the advantage of the crossbow is that it shoots ten shots in one shot, and uses dense nets of arrows to give the enemy a devastating saturation blow in an instant.
However, the advantage of the crossbow lies in its tight arrows, but its disadvantage is that it has weak lethality and an effective killing radius of only about fifty steps, and it is not equipped with shields in the enemy.
Therefore, whether it was the attack on the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry, or the previous defeat of 40,000 Taiping Army, it was based on the premise that the opponent did not carry a shield.
Now that Shi Dakai suffered a loss, he was wary of his guard. Before the battle, he strongly advised Hong Xiuquan to order the entire army to equip shields. It was with the not-so-hard wooden shield that Shi Dakai's soldiers effectively resisted the Wei army's dense arrow attack like rain.
The seventy thousand Taiping Army, who were as enthusiastic as beasts, held up a large shield and cut down wooden antlers frantically. In a moment, they cut through two antlers in succession. Only the last one was left, they could reach directly under the camp wall.
Hundreds of steps away, Hong Xiuquan from the Central Military Office clearly saw the unexpected resistance Shi Dakai encountered with the light of the fire.
"Dongwang, it seems that your prediction was wrong, Wei Yao was prepared for it." Hong Xiuquan glanced at Yang Xiuqing, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
Yang Xiuqing's brows slightly condensed, with a little embarrassed expression in his expression, but he sneered: "So what if Tao Yao was prepared? We were prepared for it. His heavy rain crossbow is now useless. What else can he use to stop us from breaking his camp."
Yang Xiuqing was reluctant to admit that he had made mistakes, but the current situation seemed to be beneficial to his army, so Hong Xiuquan couldn't say anything, so he looked at the Wei camp again.
Wei Ying, Central Military Office.
Tao Shangyuan looked at the enemy's dense shield formation outside the camp, raised an unexpected sneer on the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "It seems that the peace thief has learned a lesson. He finally remembers to have a big shield."
Just as the pottery merchant was feeling, the last layer of deer antlers on the periphery had been cut by the enemy. Tens of thousands of Taiping troops held up their shields and ran upwards towards the wall.
"The crossbow is useless, please order Li Guang to take it down." Tao Shang yelled with his hand and his eyes shot at Qin Qiong, "Shubao, it's time to watch your performance."
"I will not let the traitor step into my camp wall!" Qin Qiong took the order with a sigh, danced his golden mace with his hands, and ran out on his horse.
Qin Qiong walked through Wan Jun and shouted: "The gun and shield hand appeared, and he refused to resist the camp wall!"
The order was passed, and the drum beats in the Wei camp suddenly turned into rapid rapidity.
In an instant, the thousands of Wei soldiers hiding in the darkness rushed out shouting and shouting, like ghost soldiers rushing out of the darkness, rushing towards the line of the camp.
Almost in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of large shield hands held a shield high, secretly arranged on the inside of the camp wall, and another shield wall was erected.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of gunmen and halberds followed by the rear row set up their long halberds and large guns through the gap between the shields.
In an instant, a shield and a gun blade wall were formed on the inside of the camp wall.
A few seconds later, the soldiers of the Taiping Army, who were like wolves and tigers, collided with them like a tide. Seeing that another blade wall suddenly appeared inside the Wei camp wall, the fanatical enemy soldiers were all shocked and frightened.
Obviously, they only thought that the so-called "prepared" of the Wei army was nothing more than the same tricks that were used again and ambushed the crossbow camp.
Now that the power of the crossbow has been broken by their shield formation, they can easily break through the Wei army walls and roll in.
The fanatical pawns never expected that in addition to the crossbow camp, the Wei army's preparations were beyond their imagination, and they even arranged gun and shield hands to greet them.
At this moment, the Taiping Army's attack speed was too fast. The soldiers in the front row found that there was a change. When they wanted to believe it, they were pushed forward by the soldiers in the back row and could not stop at all.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of enemy soldiers rushed into the blade wall.
Blood splattered and rose like a backflowing waterfall, and a dark red blood curtain was dyed above the camp.
Accompanied by the extreme tragic, nearly 2,000 enemy soldiers were instantly tied into meat skewers.
The penetration power of the large gun is far better than that of a continuous crossbow arrow, and it is not something that can be resisted by a mere wooden shield in their hands. It would be strange if they rushed up like this and not be tied into a skewer.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Shi Dakai's brows couldn't help but condense deeper, and he said in a deep voice: "Looking at this situation, the pottery merchant not only ambushed the crossbow, he used all his troops to fight. The effect of the surprise attack is meaningless. In order tonight, he can only fight hard..."
As his thoughts flew, Shi Dakai took a deep breath, suppressed the vibration in his heart, waved his shield and shouted: "The soldiers of the heavenly kingdom are only allowed to advance, not retreat, use your flesh and blood to break through the enemy camp!"
Under the solemn and fierce inspiration, thousands of Taiping Army holy soldiers ignored the danger of the Wei army's blade wall, and were like crazy beasts with chicken blood, and rushed towards the Wei camp again and again.
