(Thanks to Suifeng/hunter for the reward, thank you!)

Liu Xun divided a group of twelve people from the flying sword capital as archers and arranged them to the city tower. Ma Xing and his forty-eight brothers were all injured and exhausted, and were all arranged by Liu Xun to the city to serve as archers. There were about a thousand arrows collected, all of which were distributed to these sixty people, and each of them was given two hundred arrows.

The remaining 188 people in the flying swords were all built under the car formation under the city gate, with swords, guns, swords and shields in their hands. They simply blocked the two horse paths on the top of the city with wood. Ma Xing's sixty men became archers, and it was safer to block the horse path on the top of the city.

After all this was done, the half-cap people who had been left in the rampage had arrived. They planted torches all the way, making it a huge noise, but in fact they were only more than one hundred people. Their bringing made Liu Xun and others very happy. Not only did they add more than one hundred people, but they also brought war horses and armor and equipment of 200 people in the flying sword. When they seized the gate, they also killed about a hundred Shatu soldiers, but these Shatu people were not elite, but just old and weak and newly recruited soldiers. Many of them did not even have weapons, let alone armor.

Now everyone put on the elite armor of Zhendong Army again, and their momentum was immediately higher. Especially the two hundred arm-sing crossbows that accompanied the army added a lot of combat power.

In addition to these weapons and armor, even the jerky and canned meat they brought with them with the army. Before the war began, nearly 400 people began to fill their stomachs quickly. In Ma Xing's words, even if they died, they had to be a full-fledged ghost.

"Brothers, eat and drink enough, fuck his mother Shatuolang cub. Don't worry about what's going on behind your back. Our county duke is famous for sympathizing with his subordinates. Even if we die here in battle, our parents, brothers and sisters, and even sons at our house, have adopted sons of the county duke. The head is not too big. We will join the county duke in 18 years later." Ma Xing distributed the canned food and jerky that Fei General gave them to his brothers. At the moment of the war, they took turns to drink a bag of fruit wine.

"The team deputy needs no more, brothers understand. The horse team deputy treats the brothers benevolent and righteous, and everyone is not in vain to follow the team deputy. We all come from Liaonan and are veterans for many years. We have been soldiers for so many years. We have been licking blood on the tip of the knife, but the brothers dare not fight because they are worried about their families behind us. In the past, where was our Liaonan? It can be said that we would not fight for every year, but we would not fight. We would usually rob and take it and be worried when we live. But now it is different. There are county dukes in southern Liaoning now, and life is also promising. Just fight for this, we have to work hard for the county dukes and never be afraid."

Most of the soldiers directly under the Sidu were drawn from the Liaonan soldiers. Now the soldiers from the former two wings and ten battalions in Liaonan have been basically completely dispersed by Li Jing. These soldiers were dispersed and reorganized, and after staying with the troops of Zhendong Army for this period, their concepts have also changed a lot. After living in their family in Liaonan, they have eaten Li Jing's food and paid Li Jing's salary, especially in the night school every day when they are free every night, and the instructors have carried out some ideological work from time to time. Now, these people have a strong sense of identity with Zhendong Army.

It is said that there is a difference only when there is comparison. In the past, when Liaonan was in chaos, they could not experience any differences. But when they moved from the Liaonan Army to the Zhendong Army, they immediately felt the complete difference between the two armies. Although the time was not long, these soldiers had completely agreed with the Zhenjiang Army.

Ma Xing was not a soldier in the southern Liaoning. He used to be a sailor from Daxie Village. He surrendered with his old boss Zhang Lie in front of the formation, and then gradually came to this day. He also experienced the feelings in his subordinates. It was precisely because he was not doing well in the past that he cherished the current life of Zhendong Army, which surprised them.

"The whole team! Everyone will take their place!" Liu Xun's deputy general Liu Juncheng shouted loudly in a long tone.

"Be prepared for bows and arrows!" Ma Xing on the top of the city also leaned the assigned arrows against the city wall, and shouted, "When the Shatuo wolf cubs come up, give him a volley first. Remember to squat and be careful not to show off too much. Some of these wolf cubs have good archery skills."

Behind the chariot formation under the city, more than 300 elite soldiers immediately arranged the formation around the chariot formation, leaning against the chariot formation, standing in front of the two rows in front of the front and back. The front row were officers and non-commissioned officers and soldiers at all levels who had been through the battle formation for a long time, and the back row were soldiers with only those who had only the lower-class third-class to the upper-class soldiers.

Everyone in the front row held the spear and shield in their hands tightly, while the soldiers in the back row were still holding bows. They had to carry out several rounds of shooting before they could pick up the spear and shield under their feet. In front of them, the arrows in the quiver pot had been pulled out and inserted into the ground in front of them, which would facilitate the quicker capture of arrows when shooting arrows.

In addition to these, Liu Xun had already sent people to pile up the corpses that had been killed before closing the door and outside the chariot formation, building a corpse wall, half a chest tall. The weapons of these people were taken away by Liu Xun and the others. After simple processing, the spear became a javelin and the axe became a throwing axe.

Zhendong Army had the habit of throwing spears. After Li Jing equipped a new spear thrower in the army, throwing spears became one of the training subjects. The spear thrower is a very simple piece of equipment. The spear thrower is usually a flat bone or wooden board, about one or three feet long. The board is equipped with a spear bracket and a grip, and there are finger grooves on the grip. This throwing device is similar to a stone thrower, and is a mechanical device that is most effective and labor-saving to improve lethality and range. The spear thrower is simple and practical, and even people with weak constitutions can also pierce through the fur of large beasts.

It is used in the army and can greatly enhance the long-range strike capability. Its range can easily reach 60 to 100 steps, and its range is equivalent to that of a bow and arrow, but its power is far superior to that of a bow and arrow. It is almost equivalent to the lethality of a heavy crossbow.

Although these spears made of spears lack a tail wing, they can also be thrown at least four to fifty steps away. The effect of dealing with dense enemy soldiers cannot be ignored.

The dull trombone sounded, and under the dark night, it was illuminated by countless torches as bright as day. Under the swaying firelight, there was the black flag of the Shatuo people. Following the flag was the entire team of soldiers sent by Li Sizhao. These people no longer rushed up in chaos as before and added tactics.

Chen Tieshan led the five hundred Shatuo troops to advance slowly, and along the way he collected many defeated soldiers who escaped from the gates and pulled the patrol soldiers over several steps. In the end, he brought more troops and horses. Moreover, Li Sizhao was still dispatching more troops stationed on the other side to come.

Thousands of people stepped by, like muffled thunder.

Chen Tieshan, under the black Shatuo Army, strangled his mount and saw the wooden fences built by the carriages and wooden marks piled up under the city, as well as the corpse walls piled up with the corpse of Shatuo soldiers outside the wooden fence.

He estimated in his mind that there were at most 300 people behind the formation. If the shadowy archers on the top of the city were added, there would be less than 500 people.

Damn, just a few people, he actually took the door off. Thinking about it, there were only eighteen assassins in the general's mansion, but he had killed Liu Zhijie and captured three generals as hostages. He felt a little frustrated. Damn, what kind of bird battle is this?

"Brother, wait until I charge and break the formation and take back the gate!" The brave Chen Yushan carried a long-handled battle axe and urged the horse to come to the flag, and asked his brother Chen Tieshan for battle, saying, "I heard that the large troops of the East Army in the town are coming one after another. If I don't take back the city of Guan immediately, Taixi Pass will be out of protection."

Even if Guancheng is regained, this Taixi Guan will not be guaranteed. Chen Tieshan felt annoyed. The three main generals of Guancheng have all become hostages to others. Guancheng has five thousand soldiers and horses. Now they are all listening to the little Li Sizhao commander, and many people are dissatisfied with this. But Mrs. Liu left again. I really don’t know how to fight this battle.

The mountain armor on Chen Yushan's body was extremely shiny under the fire. This was the armor given by Li Kexiu himself, and it also marked his identity as a powerful general.

"Okay. Take people first and be careful of the archers on the top of the city." Chen Tieshan nodded at the end of the year. Let the matter of Guanzhong be bothered by that boy Li Sizhao. It would be better to take the closing gate first. Yushan is right, most of the enemy reinforcements are close.

It is narrow in front of the pass, and it is not suitable for one thousand people to go together, and it is easy to become the target of the enemy. Chen Tieshan divided the 1,000 people into three parts, preparing to take turns to attack continuously, and finally won it in one wave.

"Walking forward with a shield in the front row, and archers in the back row slowly followed!" Chen Yushan did not rush up directly. Instead, he wisely lined up his hands with a shield in front, then the spearman was in the middle, and finally the archers covered him to advance.

Three hundred soldiers took advantage of the night to attack the gate.

"Blow the trumpet!"

The sound of the horn of the Shatu soldier was like the horn of a wolf king, leading the wolf pack to attack.

The offense has begun!

"Rise the shield!" Liu Xun ordered the shield to be raised as soon as the horn sounded. Suddenly, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row quickly raised the shield in their hands, layered with round shields, covering most of the more than 300 people, like a huge turtle shell.

While the shield was raised, a sharp whistling sound suddenly passed in the sky. Then the soldiers of Zhendong Army who were hiding under the shield heard the shield on their heads sounding like hail.

After three consecutive waves of arrows, a sharp iron whistle sounded from the city behind him, and Ma Xing's loud voice: "Shoot, shoot, take out all your strength, and shoot the arrow nervously, and shoot the arrows directly on the five consecutive shots!"

With this shout, the sixty archers on the top of the city also began to show their power. Sixty cavalry horn bows were fired at the same time, and the arrows formed a metal storm in the air, crossing the heads of Liu Xun and others below, and roaring and finally smashing into the Shatuo army formation.

The Shatuo people also raised their shields to block them, but as they moved forward, they could not fold them like Liu Xun and others, like water in the turtle shells. At that time, several people could not block them and were shot and killed by arrows falling from the world.

The Shatuo people only shot three times while advancing, but the archers with battlements on the top of the city shot six times. Standing on the top of the city, they could shoot further and more at ease.

After the long-range attacks on each other, the Shatuo people's troops had arrived in front of Liu Xun's formation.

In the gap of the shield, the cold light of swords flashed, and the sound of fire and the command of the leader came one after another.

On the other side facing the Shatuo people, Liu Xun carried the iron given by Li Jing to create a refined general sword, stood leisurely under the city gate, and was flying beside him the military flag of Feijiandu. Every soldier could see him and the military flag, and all his subordinates were infected by his confidence and calmness, and firmly executed his instructions.

"The crossbowmen in the back row are ready to shoot arrows!"

Liu Xun opened the strong bow in his hand, took three arrows at a time, and aimed directly at the flag bearer next to the officer.

Flags are the morale of an army. If the flag falls once the war begins, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army.

A strange roar suddenly came from the sky. The tall Shatuo flag bearer who followed Chen Yushan immediately realized that an arrow was coming. He immediately heard the sound and then quickly hid to the other side. He just moved his body sideways and let the arrow go. Who knew that the second arrow had arrived immediately after the first arrow, and the arrow was still shooting at his position at this time.

Although the flag bearer was tall, he moved sideways to another side and avoided the arrow.

After giving two arrows in succession, the flag bearer couldn't help but feel scared and sweating. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly let out a soothing sound, and then the third arrow arrived. This time he had no choice but to hide, and was shot directly into the door by an arrow, screaming and falling off his horse. The Shatuo military flag in his hand also fell under the horse and disappeared without a trace.

"Da Tang, Da Tang!" The archers who saw this scene on the top of the city cheered in unison and shouted loudly.

Although the soldiers hiding in the turtle shell below didn't understand what was going on, they knew it must be a good thing. They hurriedly shouted below, and the momentum was shocking and the whole army was full of morale.

Chen Yushan did not expect that before he formally fought, his flag bearer had been killed by the enemy. Before the deputy flag bearer could even receive the flag, the flag was already caught under the horse's hooves.

After Liu Xun's three consecutive arrows killed the opponent's flag bearer and flag, the soldiers behind the formation also set off their bows and shot arrows.

Blood splatters everywhere! People shout and horses neigh!

The arrows like a browsing star swept across the Shatuo people's front army with rapid speed.

Some even penetrate the iron helmet and shoot into the head! penetrate the breastplate and shoot into the heart! penetrate the shield and shoot into the arms!

No one expected that behind the hundreds of people, there was such a team of bows and arrows hidden. Chen Yushan's three hundred soldiers suffered a great loss and was shot to count down dozens of people at once.

In the blood and dust, the people and horses who were shot in the arrow screamed in pain, and the depressed and overturned life made the final struggle in the blood light!

The brave shouts of Shatuo people stopped abruptly!

Ma Xing took the opportunity to greet the archers who had just finished shooting the first wave of five-wheeled arrow rain, seized the opportunity of the shield formation in front of the Shatuo people, and fired their bows and arched again. This time it was a precise strike. After another five-wheeled shot, Chen Yushan's 300 people had already left nearly one hundred corpses and finally rushed to the wall of corpses made of Shatuo people's corpses.
Chapter completed!
