Chapter 661: Wind and Snow Continue to Heaven and Blade Frost ()
When infantry strengthened their attacks, what they wanted to cover was the impact of the cavalry on the three siege ramps. Two-pronged approach, bullying was the shortage of troops in Dubo Village. He Tianju did not expect infantry to make a breakthrough in siege, but as long as they could restrain enough defenders' forces, the more infantry restrained, the fewer soldiers were guarding against cavalry to rush to the city. Once the cavalry gained a foothold on the city, at the speed of the cavalry, the bridgehead could be expanded unlimitedly in a blink of an eye.
He Tian raised his eyes and stared at the city. The dense firepower on the city amazes him. Even if he sees many battles to attack the cities and villages, he rarely sees such a small city with such a strike ability. The dense falling stones make him look back at the large slingshots made of bamboo in the distance. There is no doubt that the other party was borrowing this thing. Although the power was a bit insufficient, it could resist the shoddy shields in the hands of the Donghu soldiers.
What made him most headache was the opponent's arm-opening crossbow, with strong force and covered strike range. Each round of volleys will cause great casualties. The only thing that is glad is that the opponent's manpower is insufficient. Every time he fires, there are only hundreds of crossbows and crossbows shooting at the same time. He Tianju couldn't imagine what effect it would have when thousands of such weapons were fired at the same time.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but worry about Yan Qi. In Pioneer City, the defenders could have more than 10,000 people. As long as there were thousands of arms and crossbows divided into several rounds of rotation to shoot, it would be enough to prevent the siegemen from making progress.
The infantry had already arrived at the city. Under the cover of crossbows and arrows on the snow platform, they began to erect ladders, and ants attacked the city. On dozens of ladders, the infantry climbed up like ants, and the rock bullets flew more densely. Pushed poles up the ladders and pushed the ladders far away from the city wall. The infantry on the ladder screamed and flew into the air, and then fell heavily. Those who climbed higher naturally fell a little worse.
This was lucky. The tragic infantry that had been arranged on the top of the city wall was simply unavailable to look at. When the nail slap with a sharp long blade came back from the wall, the ladder broke immediately. The soldiers on it were either photographed directly on the city wall and turned into a photo, or were swept down by the edge and fell to the city, falling to death. The worst thing was that the long blade slap was directly passed by. When the nail slap was pulled up by the soldiers in the city, the infantry that was nailed to the long blade was splashed with blood while screaming with a shrill cry, which made people feel disappointed.
However, in the central army, the attacking drums were dense and there was no intention of retreating. The attacking infantry returned in vain again and again, with heavy casualties. However, they regained their flags and attacked again and again.
Finally, a Donghu soldier climbed up the city wall. Although he was immediately stabbed by a spear. With such a buffer, two more soldiers climbed up behind him. After the two fell down, four or five people were already standing on the top of the city.
He Tianqiu's eyes flashed, and he watched the figures running around the city. It should be that the city was mobilizing troops to block the gap. He silently counted ten numbers in his heart. At this time, at that breakthrough point, about twenty soldiers had already squeezed up, and surrounded them around dozens of soldiers from the East Army, holding up their spears and poking them over one by one.
"It's now, attack!" he shouted loudly.
"Strike!" Mo Yandu pulled out his scimitar and raised it high. With Mo Yandu's order, the three types of cavalry who had already been ready to go immediately jumped out and accelerated towards the ramp.
The horse's hooves stepped on the slope and the speed had increased to the fastest, just like lightning, heading straight to the top of the slope. The top of the slope is several meters away from the head of the city. After rushing to the top of the slope, you can easily reach the head of the city with one leap.
Chen Bin's eyes were so excited that his eyes shone, and his eyes stared at the running horse, waved his hand, "Stand up!"
Above the city, before each ramp, more than a dozen soldiers shouted loudly, grabbed poles with their hands, pushed up three nails, and stood straight in front of the three ramps, blocking the road where the war horses jumped.
The Donghu cavalry, who was galloping in front of him, had already jumped up in the air at this time. There was a nail plate with a sharp blade in front of him, and he suddenly screamed. But at this time, he had no way to change his castration. The war horse hit the nail plate directly, with a loud bang, and the long sharp blade pierced through the war horse. The knight immediately cried out, and it had fallen. The thick nail plate was shaking violently. Two of the poles could not withstand such huge force. With a click, it broke into two.
"Get on the bar, go on the bar!" Chen Bin shouted. Thick bars pushed up from behind, and the shaking nail board immediately stabilized its shape. However, Chen Bin specially added materials to these nail boards, and thick iron sheets were nailed to the back. Otherwise, it would have been smashed by this collision.
"Long spear, long spear!" Chen Bin shouted repeatedly.
On the ramp, war horses ran up one after another, and could not hold back their hooves. Of course, they also flew one after another to the nail board. With the loud rumbling sound, they fell one after another. On the nail board, they turned red in an instant.
"Puncture it with a spear, the board can't hold it up." A soldier shouted loudly.
The spear, which was more than ten meters long, pierced from both sides of the nail board, and cut off the horses running up the way. The spears entered and came out. There were blood holes on the belly of the horses. Before they could fly, they fell from both sides of the ramp. Under the ramp, in a moment, they were piled up with horse corpses.
"Change another group!" Chen Bin roared angrily.
He stabbed the running war horses with a spear of more than ten meters long. Each of them shot two or three shots, and his muscles were already weak and his strength was gone. The second group of horses immediately stepped forward.
"Bound arrows, arms are opened, and shot behind the back."
With Chen Bin's call, more than ten soldiers held their arms and opened their crossbows and rushed to the wall before the walls. Linoline shot the Donghu cavalry at the end of the ramp. The cavalry who had just stepped on the ramp had nowhere to avoid killing them. Under the rainy crossbow arrows, they rushed down one by one. Some were unlucky and were like hedgehogs.
In just a short time, hundreds of cavalrymen were buried under the three ramps. Mo Yandu's face turned ashen, Gu Jili was trembling all over, but He Tianju shook his head speechlessly, "It's really rare. In just a short time, he actually guessed what I was going to do, and he had prepared corresponding countermeasures long ago. Chen Bin, I underestimated you!"
"Ming Jin, stop the troops!" Unable to withstand such losses, Mo Yandu finally couldn't stand it and shouted sternly, "That's all today."
The sound of gold gongs sounded, and the infantrymen in the attacking wildly retreated like a tide. The soldiers on the city cheered, but they won again in this battle and suffered such a great loss. At least today, the enemy would not have the will to launch another attack.
The enemy needs time to lick the wound, and the defenders in the city must seize this rare time to recuperate and recover their physical strength.
This battle was not long, but it made Chen Bin the most nervous. He knew very well that once the cavalry rushed to the city, there would be no way to fight this battle.
"Cleaning the city!" an officer shouted loudly. "Hey, boys, don't throw the bodies of the Donghu people down. Put them on the city head and pour them on water. If they are frozen, they can also be used as a city wall. I fuck his grandmother. I want to see if their broken stones are still smashed."
Hearing the officer's roar, Chen Bin sighed without saying a word. Although the deceased is the most important thing, it is a soldier's right to respect the bodies of the dead, but now, he doesn't care about so much. First of all, he has to ensure that his soldiers survive as much as possible. As for whether this matter arouses greater anger among the Donghu people, what can I do to worry about? Is the Donghu people's anger not strong now?
"Xiao Mo, how many people can we fight?" He reached out to attract Xiao Mo who was like a zongzi. After the boy was injured, Chen Bin asked him to take charge of the logistics.
"Captain, we have four hundred and eighteen people who are in trouble now, one hundred and three are slightly injured, and fifty-six are seriously injured. The rest of the brothers are gone." Xiao Mo's voice lowered, and the joy of repelling the enemy's attack just now was gone in front of the casualties.
"Only half of the people are left!" Chen Bin murmured.
"Captain, we have fought more than 1,000 people until now, dragging more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the enemy and only hundreds of casualties. This is already very proud." Xiao Mo whispered.
Chen Bin nodded, "Go down, the seriously injured soldiers must be taken care of. Although I don't know if we can survive, at least we must ensure that when we are alive, they must also live well."
"yes!"
In Tongwan City, Yan Peng and Luo Weiran stood in a room in the city. There was no decoration inside the house, only a big black hole, dark inside, and I don’t know where to lead.
"Captain, after I lead the army out, this tunnel must be sealed. We can go out along this tunnel, and the other party can come in along this tunnel." Luo Weiran said.
"Don't worry, if the Donghu people want to come in and steal the city along this tunnel, I will let them die extremely miserable." Yan Peng laughed and said, "You must be careful. I am not worried about the first battle, but then you will be exposed to the enemy's vision. Time, remember, time is everything."
"I understand, commander, take care of yourself, see you after victory."
"Goodbye after victory!" Two big hands were tightly held together and shook them heavily. Luo Weiran lowered his body and entered the tunnel. Behind him, soldiers followed him tightly into the dark tunnel.
