I’m The King Chapter 822: : Sunrise East (47)
Soldiers of the Qi army held huge shields and advanced step by step. They are very clear, not to mention their big iron shields, even if they are holding an iron shield, when the bed crossbow shoots over, the huge force is enough to tear anything in front of it, walking in front of the team The people at the front, in fact, their lives no longer belong to them.
A total of more than ten layers of large shields are slowly moving forward. Behind them are soldiers carrying sandbags. Whether it is Tian Jingwen or Qin Shan, they are all generals after all. Tian Fucheng doesn't say anything Under the persecution of reason, they are also quick to develop their wits. If you build fortifications on the bridge, can't I? No matter how powerful the bed crossbow is, it can shoot through a large shield and a human body, but can it also shoot through layers of sandbags?
"Shoot!" Xie Zongjie had been idle for five days, and when he saw the Qi army on the opposite side raised a higher-level general flag, he knew that his leisure time was over, and in the end, he was about to face a battle. What he has to face in the bitter battle is not only dozens of times his number, but also the kind of general Xiang Xinhui who is anxious and experienced in offensive and defensive warfare. In front of the people of Qi, I just persisted for less than ten days
The first bed crossbow shot out with a sharp whistling sound. The bed crossbow with a range of hundreds of steps is above this distance. The usually strong shield in front of the Qi army was torn apart like paper in front of the bed crossbow. Down paused. Wherever he went, there were stumps and broken bodies, and blood splattered everywhere
The Qi army on the bridge had no way to retreat, and there was no way to retreat. These soldiers with large shields were clinging to each other. Layer upon layer squeeze each other, behind them is Qi army's military law team, and behind them, Qi army is nervously stacking sandbags one by one, forming an obstacle
"Rush forward. Rush forward, speed up, the faster you go, the greater your chance of surviving!" The officer of the Qi army roared angrily, waving the saber in his hand. yelled loudly
The crack that the bed crossbow had just torn open was stopped in an instant, Qi Jun quickened his pace, and rushed towards the middle of the bridge frantically
"The bed crossbow shoots flat, and the arm crossbow throws to cover" Xie Zongjie's face is flat. Under such terrain, the Qi army wants to pounce in front of him, and first use the corpse to cover the half of the bridge deck.
The second bed crossbow sounded at the same time. Dozens of arm crossbows were also thrown into the air at a forty-five-degree angle, and after passing the large shield soldiers in front, they turned around and rushed towards them. Get into the body of Qi Jun behind the big shield soldier
The soldiers of the first bed crossbow are nervously twisting the strings and loading the arrows, and they are very busy. They will be ready to fire again after the third bed crossbow is shot
On the originally clean and tidy bridge deck, in just a short moment, every gap has been covered with blood
Qin Shan looked at those green dragon bridges that looked like Shura Fields, where dozens or even dozens of lives would have to be sacrificed in order to advance several distances. He shouted angrily: "The sky has cleared up, and the water level of the Qinglong River will become lower every day. Maybe it only takes a day or two to cross the river with rafts. At that time, the enemy has nothing to defend. Why do you want to change it?"
"Keep your voice down!" Tian Jingwen reprimanded in a low voice, "Do you want the general to hear you? Do you also want to be whipped? No, you will lose your head directly. If you figure it out, you won't Surname Tian"
Qin Shan smiled wryly, "General, is this an unnecessary sacrifice?"
"This is a necessary sacrifice!" Tian Jingwen shook his head and said, "If Langya is ready for everything, we will make more sacrifices."
"The main force of the Eastern Conquest Army is in Donghu, can they grow wings and fly back?" Qin Shan retorted
"Let's take a look at Xinhui!" Tian Jingwen stared at the bridge deck intently, "The fighting power of the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army is awe-inspiring."
"Our soldiers are not bad!" Qin Shan retorted that on the bridge deck, the soldiers of the Qi army were still marching towards the middle of the bridge
"If the order is passed down, there is no need to remove the soldiers' bodies," Tian Jingwen said suddenly
"General!" Qin Shan was startled and shouted, "That will seriously damage morale"
"The blood is enough to stimulate everyone's nerves. Even if these soldiers die, their corpses can make contributions again." Tian Jingwen said coldly, "Tan Shan, I only have one day. His head is about to fall off, but the second son will do what he says, and he will never go back on his word"
Qin Shan was at a loss for words
The corpses of the dead soldiers of the Qi army were no longer dragged down the bridge deck, but were directly crushed under strips of sandbags, and the corpses were piled up on the spot. The sandbag was finally higher than the soldier's body, and it also made Xie Zongjie see for the first time the secret that had been hidden behind layers of attacks against Qi soldiers
"Fuck him!" Xie Zongjie's expression suddenly became serious, "Can you figure out this way?"
Almost all the soldiers of the Qi army at the front had fallen down. These corpses were piled up on the bridge deck, and at the other third of the bridge, a parapet had already been built. get up
"Try shooting a crossbow!" Xie Zongjie ordered
There was a loud noise, and a crossbow bolt shot out with lightning, and hit the opposite parapet with a "chuck", and with the sound of "chuck", the crossbow bolt finally stopped powerlessly after penetrating about halfway.
Xie Zongjie understood the opponent's plan, "Call the strongest and most valiant veteran up, and we will start hand-to-hand combat in a short time."
Looking at the bridge deck, Xie Zongjie smiled coldly, "Even if it's hand-to-hand combat, is I afraid of you?"
Sandbags were thrown out one by one from behind the parapet on the opposite side. After being thrown to a certain height, soldiers from the Qi army jumped out from behind the parapet and lay down on the ground, sorting out the sandbags that were still being thrown over continuously. In order to form a new wall, the fierce assault battle will no longer happen. These Qi soldiers who jumped out of the parapet became the targets of the archers of the Eastern Conquest Army. The bed crossbow no longer shot these parapets. The sandbags effectively Blocking their penetrating power, Xie Zongjie ordered the crossbowmen to raise their angles and start bombarding the Qi army on the other side. Although doing so did little damage, it was still a psychological deterrent. Anyway, when he retreated, these You can't take heavy things with you, and you can't take the crossbows with you. It's better to pull them down after shooting them at this time, and then destroy all these bed crossbows
The Qi army was throwing sandbags, but the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army were throwing bundles of firewood. As the Qi army's wall was advancing step by step, the firewood doused with grease also stretched out in bundles.
"They want to use fire!" Qin Shan whispered
"When charging, the soldiers carried sandbags and put out the fire while charging." Tian Jingwen said: "At this time, we don't care about protecting our troops."
After noon, the Qi army finally began to charge. One by one, the soldiers jumped out of the wall and rushed towards the wall of the Zhengdong Army, which was not far away from them
The torch was thrown out, and with a bang, a big fire ignited on the bridge deck. The firewood was all wet, and when it burned after being poured with grease, it was accompanied by puffs of smoke. At this time, The wind on the Qinglong River is irregular, sometimes east, sometimes west, sometimes south, sometimes north, the entire Qinglong bridge is instantly covered by thick smoke. In the thick smoke, the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army set up their spears and stretched layer by layer. go out
Xie Zongjie covered his face with a wet sweat towel, he laughed and said: "Please smoke big cigarettes"
Among the smoke, the soldiers of the Qi Army began to cough violently, unable to see anything in their eyes, they could only rush forward based on the previous feeling, throwing down the sandbags they carried with them to put out the fire, and brandishing knives and guns behind them to kill The open fire was extinguished, but the thick smoke continued. As soon as the soldiers of the Qi army rushed out, what they bumped into were shining spears, and the sound of chirping was endless
The spearmen of the Eastern Conqueror Army couldn't see their opponents, but as soon as they felt something hit on their spears, they immediately thrust in, pulled out, and then thrust in again, making mechanical movements repeatedly /
The fire was extinguished little by little, and the smoke was carried away by the wind. When the Qi army stopped the first round of offensive, the bridge deck was finally clear and bright, and the situation on the bridge deck was presented by the two armies. In front of him, both Xie Zongjie and Tian Jingwen on the other side were startled by the tragedy on the bridge deck, but Xie Zongjie was happy, but Tian Jingwen was heartbroken.
In front of the wall of the Zhengdong Army, the corpses of the Qi Army were already level with the wall, stretching out for more than ten meters, no need to count, just take a look with your eyes. Hundreds of people died here.
"Is this smoke really easy to use?" Xie Zongjie said with a smile, "We will prepare some later, and we will retreat to the second wall. We will do the same. It's a pity that the wind is not qualitative, otherwise it will be thrown into the smoke Add some ingredients, it will be more exciting!" He shook his head regretfully, this wall is useless. He has to retreat to the second line, it seems that he can't keep the water level of the Qinglong River dropping, and he will have to stand up for the last day Retreat, the Qi army will not die in a fight, such a heavy loss, even Xie Zongjie is a little speechless.
"Send away the wounded soldiers and the brothers who died in battle first, the others, prepare to fight!" Xie Zongjie said loudly while nibbling on dry food.
Tian Jingwen didn't give Xie Zongjie much time. His only advantage now is that he has a large number of people, and he doesn't give Xie Zongjie time to rest. Just now came the news that Tian Fucheng had sent his cronies to lead people there After passing Yanglindu, the water there is slightly slower. If Tian Fucheng's people cross the Qinglong River first, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for him. (To be continued)
