Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 72 Great Battle (3)
Facing the black crowd of Machi Khan soldiers swarming in rows, the archers on the city wall who had already been waiting in full force breathed in, nocked and drew their bows, opened their voices, and fired at the same time, almost without needing to aim. The pouring arrows formed wave after wave of arrow rain, densely packed towards the enemy soldiers who swooped forward with their shields up.
The damage caused by the dense rain of arrows to the soldiers on the attacking side is huge, far exceeding the seemingly amazingly powerful catapults and ballistas. With the advantage of height, the attack group assembled by archers can easily Hit any target group that enters the range, and the enemy's light armored infantry is the best target.
Whether it is a round shield or a kite-shaped shield, the ability to resist this kind of pervasive arrow rain is quite limited, especially during the movement, the soldiers reveal more gaps, and the sharp-eyed lookout post and reaction Sensitive commanders can always find out where the enemy is more threatening and where the enemy's defense has more loopholes. Under the command of the trinity of the lookout post and the commander, the bow and arrow group constantly adjusts the attack point , to deal the heaviest blow to the enemy soldiers.
However, this advantage can only be maintained for a short time. When the enemy's mobile catapult and bed ballista braved the intensive stone bomb attack and finally advanced into their attack range, the same blow also fell on the Lin family's army. body. The Machi Khans who came prepared are now more fully prepared in this regard. The roaring flint first visited the catapult positions on the top of the city. Although the Sanjiang army also arranged various defensive facilities at the catapult positions, However, due to the location limitation of the city wall and the difference in the number of catapults, under the guidance of Gao Siyu's suspended lookout post, the fireball attack of the Maqihan people accurately landed on the catapult position on the Sanjiang side, only two rounds of strikes After that, the guard soldiers and catapults of a catapult position were almost all casualties. The huge disparity in numbers made the outcome of the catapult battle not too suspenseful, and the surgical precision strikes one after another were almost in two. Within hours, the catapults placed at the top of the city lost their combat effectiveness.
Although the second batch of catapults was quickly re-arranged, the newly added catapults were obviously inferior to the first batch in terms of power and operational proficiency of the soldiers. The strike force of the weapon is also much lower. At this time, the key target of the enemy's long-range strike weapon cluster has shifted to the ballista position, and a ballista position was quickly submerged in the sea of fire. The wooden ballista became the best target for the fire bombs, carrying a large number of It only needs to touch one of the fire bombs of the oil droplets, and it will immediately cause a fire, and the dense ballista positions will be spread quickly, and will be swallowed by the fire demon in an instant.
In addition to the contest on long-range strike weapons, face-to-face combat soon entered a substantive stage of offense and defense. First of all, the high-altitude nest vehicles and mobile arrow towers concentrate on attacking the defensive infantry on the city wall. Although this kind of weapon has a higher advantage compared to the city wall, it is also the key target of the opponent's catapults and ballistas, but once they enter their own Within the effective range, the advantages of the main attacker can be fully utilized.
Accompanied by the heavy rain of stone bullets and crossbow bolts, the dense arrow rain began to sweep every city head after round. Even though there were battlements and shields as cover, facing the huge enemy With the superior force and the concentrated attack, the Sanjiang army on the top of the city was still suppressed to the point where it couldn't lift its head up. From time to time there were screams, it was the soldiers who couldn't dodge being hit by the arrows that shot through the gap and were dying. howl before.
Relying on the suppression of their superior long-range strike weapons, the Maqihan soldiers pushing the movable ladder and the siege vehicle finally built the last passage to the city wall of the pass with difficulty, and the anchor hook at the top of the movable ladder easily The crenels of the city wall were hooked, and the siege vehicles were directly pushed under the city wall, connecting parallel to the city wall, and even a section of the city wall at a high level, a spare ladder was also put on the city wall at the first time, so that the soldiers could move from one place to another. Directly attack the defender on the city wall from this angle.
Like a tumbling flood flooding over a dam, the Maqihan soldiers in khaki military uniform climbed up the city wall of Loushanguan in an instant, and the **** hand-to-hand combat officially began. The Maqihan soldiers who climbed up from the movable ladder or rushed down from the siege vehicles immediately fought fiercely with the Sanjiang soldiers defending the front line. Every crenel, every tower, and every passage became a battleground. In the battlefield of desperate struggle, every corner is full of **** fights. It is true that the Machi Khans took the lead and risked their lives, but the Sanjiang soldiers were also unwilling to show weakness and retaliated with an eye.
The stump fell to the ground, the head flew, the flesh and blood flew, the brains were smeared, there was no extra words, no multilingual movements, eyes wide open, mechanical movements, chopping, chopping, stabbing, simple and Simple movements can be fully verified here, and the result of a little more fancy movements is to kill yourself.
Pu Tiancheng stood motionless on the hill with his sword on his hands and watched the development of the battle situation. Although he was expected to see the tenacity and tenacity shown by the Sanjiang army, he was still overwhelmed by the fact that he witnessed this cruel scene with his own eyes. Shocked.
The long-range weapons of one's own side have already taken an absolute advantage. The early strikes have quickly weakened the threat of the opponent's catapults and ballistas. Round after round of repeated sweeps have completely covered the shelter of the city Once again, and the mobile arrow tower and the high-altitude nest vehicle are condescending and fixed-point strikes to clear the threat point, but in this case, when your army rushes to the top of the city, there will be countless people who don't know where they come from. Soldiers from Sanjiang roared forward, brandishing knives and guns, and unceremoniously gave their soldiers a head-on blow. He even stood on a high place and saw with his own eyes several **** Sanjiang soldiers among the corpses before his troops set foot on the city. At the first moment, without any warning, he rushed up without any warning, and killed the unsuspecting soldiers of his own side. He encircled and wiped out his own troops.
This kind of brutal fight took place on almost every inch of the wall. No matter how brave and fierce the soldiers on one's side were, they always stopped before the solid defense line of the Sanjiang people. The fight between the spear and the shield continued until the end At noon, there was still no sign of loosening or relaxation.
Pu Tiancheng nodded secretly. He is worthy of being the elite of the Sanjiang Army. Just relying on this momentum of desperately fighting against powerful enemies is enough to gain a place in the armies of all parties in the Eastern Continent. Although the performance of the Habayashi Corps is not good It is very eye-catching, but the opponent is on the defensive after all, and this advantage cannot be reversed in one or two strokes. It takes time and the blood and corpses of soldiers to transform.
"Marshal, the second and third Habayashi Corps have suffered heavy losses. The number of deaths in the two regiments has exceeded 3,000, and the number of serious injuries is also quite large. Do you think it is possible to temporarily rotate the other regiments? Let them take a rest?" The chief of staff next to him suggested with some anxiety. The Habayashi Corps is the patron saint of the kingdom's capital, and usually they don't use it, but this time, I don't know what His Majesty and the Minister of State think, and they sent all the three Habayashi Corps to the front line. The Minister of State even appointed the Habayashi Corps to take the lead on all fronts. This is really an unprecedented rare event. Could it be that the Habayashi Corps offended Lord Lei? But why does His Majesty support Lord Lei?
Smiling at the corner of his mouth, Pu Tiancheng said indifferently: "Did the two regiment leaders ask to be replaced?"
"Uh, that's not true. It's just that the humble position saw that the Habayashi Corps suffered heavy casualties, so I made my own decisions..." Hearing that the tone of the coach's words seemed wrong, the chief of staff quickly changed his tone. The coach also seemed to dislike the Habayashi Corps.
"That's enough, let them continue, don't stop attacking without my order!" Pu Tiancheng glanced at his chief of staff ~IndoMTL.com~ The chill went straight into the opponent's heart, and said coldly : "If you can't even afford to shed this little blood, are you still qualified to be called His Majesty's Habayashi Army?"
"Yes." The chief of staff secretly hated himself for talking too much, and subconsciously stood at attention and answered.
The fierce fighting lasted until the afternoon. No one still remembered the word hunger. This feeling seemed to have disappeared from people's consciousness. Seeing another wave of people rushing to the city, the two colors mixed together again, and they were already ready The reserve team rushed out from the Tibetan military buildings at both ends, and quickly suppressed the Maqihan soldiers who attacked again. The Maqihan soldiers disappeared bit by bit in the dark brown crowd of Sanjiang people.
"Order the catapult and bed ballista to concentrate on sweeping the city!" Sensitively aware of this scene, Pu Tiancheng did not hesitate at all.
"Commander! There are still our soldiers at the head of the city!" The chief of staff actually understood the meaning of the coach's words immediately, but he subconsciously wanted to dissuade him.
"It's useless, they can't come back anymore, since they can't come back, let Tanghe people bury them with them!" Pu Tiancheng's tone was slightly regretful, but there was no room for change.
Hundreds of flint bullets flew into the air again, whizzing towards the soldiers on both sides who were still fighting fiercely in the distance, and the winch of the ballista also tightened at the same time and then exploded suddenly, with a length of two meters The iron-headed crossbow flew through the air with a shrill howling sound, and flew straight towards the crowded place.
It never occurred to him that the flint bullets and crossbow arrows would come at this time, and the blows were like a storm. In just a few breaths, they caused huge damage to the Sanjiang soldiers at the head of the city. They were killed on the spot during the raid, and all the seriously injured were lame and handicapped. It was a terrible sight, and it also greatly damaged the morale of the Sanjiang side.
