The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 73: Siege
The crossbow array stopped slowly, and it took half a minute to check the crossbow in my hand to see if there was any malfunction or problem.
"Raise a crossbow!"
"Raise the bow!"
Following a loud shout from the commanders of the phalanx, the first 1,000 people from the phalanx on both sides raised their crossbows.
"Let it go!"
"Let it go!"
咻咻咻! Two thousand arrows rushed out, constantly falling from the sky. Above the city, those recruits still don't know how to avoid arrows.
just stared blankly at the arrows hitting him. Fluttering, the sound of arrows passing through kept ringing, followed by another sound of sorrow.
was awakened by a scream of screams, the soldiers remembered that they wanted to hide, but before they had any action, three seconds after the arrows fell, another two thousand arrows were shot. come over.
there was another thumping sound, and four or five hundred people fell sparsely. At this moment, twice in a row, the soldiers who were beaten by the crossbow formation had completely lost consciousness.
There were only a few more alert people, and they hurriedly hid. So he escaped, and his eyes gleefully looked at the soldiers who were still standing stupidly.
嗖嗖嗖! Three more arrows passed by. Those soldiers knew that they were hiding, but they were still killed and injured many people by those waves of arrows.
Next, this period of time is the time for the performance of the crossbow formations. A square formation is divided into five stages of shooting, three rounds of shooting in a row, fifteen waves, and a rain of arrows poured on the city wall, 30,000 The arrows were densely pierced in the walls or the houses behind the walls.
From time to time, soldiers are cruelly nailed to the city wall by a dozen arrows, crying in pain, wanting to get up and rolling, but sadly find that their whole body is locked, and they can't move even if they want to. I can only watch my blood run out in a daze, and lose my precious life in endless pain.
After fifteen rounds of arrow rain, more than 3,000 people have sparsely lain down on the city wall. Some of the remaining people are shivering and can only hide behind the city wall and use the female wall to resist the arrow rain. attack.
Seeing that the archers on the city wall had been suppressed by his own arrow array, Zhong Yu continued to order the cannon fodder to advance. Although he said that he kept shooting down his arrows, he might win the war.
But this is not what I wanted. These cannon fodder are some recruits, who have not experienced war, and are very immature.
must use this siege war, with countless lives to pile up a good soldier. Now only the 25,000 cannon fodder left on the account is just an appetizer.
The eight thousand young men who came from Wudu County before will also be pressed up as a reserve team.
bang bang bang! With the blast of war drums, the first batch of cannon fodder teams was pushed up again. This time, those supervising teams won't be so easy to talk about.
They have already received orders from above, if these five thousand people don't die until they reach three thousand people, they are absolutely not allowed to go on.
In other words? Counting the hundreds of people who died before, more than 1,000 people will die here, and they will not be able to retreat until there are about 3,000 people left.
"Come on!"
With a scream of anger, all the strong cannon fodder all yelled and screamed, in order to inspire their own little courage.
Seeing everyone around me rushing up with me, watching constantly from side to side, I found that there was a sea of people around me, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, and my confidence suddenly became a lot.
held the weapon tightly in their hands. They knew clearly that this would be their most important partner to save their lives in the future.
Ten steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps, and soon, there is a rain of swords and arrows, like a thundering rock. This group of cannon fodder gradually approached the foot of the city wall, and a group of people worked together to put a 20-meter-long ladder on top of the city wall.
more than ten people were left behind and pressed **** their feet to prevent the ladder from being pushed down by the people on the city wall, and some of the remaining people hurriedly climbed up the ladder.
zizizi! A pot of hot oil and golden juice came up. The city had already prepared countless wooden barrels, and put them into the pot one by one, and the hot liquid from it poured down under the city wall.
Wow, wow! Countless hot liquid poured on the soldiers who were climbing up the city.
"Ah!"
Countless screams sounded under the city, one after another, but it was of no use. Numerous soldiers under the ladder pulled the wounded and disturbed people and threw them down from the ladder.
just like that, you come and I attack. The crowd is like ants, you push me, and I push you to climb up the city wall through hundreds of ladders.
People kept climbing up the city wall. Before they started to be happy, they were stabbed down by several guards with their spears.
噗噗噗噗! All the cannon fodder is like dumplings, constantly being picked up and falling down again and again. From a distance, it was like raindrops falling from above the city wall into the moat or at the foot of the city wall.
The corpses were covered with a thick layer, and quickly, but within half an hour, the number of 5,000 people saw him 3,000, and more than 1,000 corpses fell under the city wall forever.
"Dang-dang-dang!" With a burst of bronze drums rang, the sound of Jinling reached the battlefield, and the struggling cannon fodder ears. The faces of all the cannon fodder were surprised.
There is control in the army, and they advance when they hear the drums and retreat when they hear the gold. It’s not that no one thought about running away before, but the 1,000-man supervising team surrounded the entire battlefield from a distance, leaving no room for anyone to escape~IndoMTL.com~ As long as someone dared to take a step back, it would immediately be a battle. The rain of arrows came and set the person who intended to escape into a hornet's nest, leaving no hands or accidents in the slightest.
As for all the people turning around together, don’t be kidding, there are four thousand superintendents behind the 1,000-plus teams, and behind him there are more than 20,000 troops neatly lined up looking at him, and he can Where did you escape?
, it’s better to go forward, use your own destiny and luck, and bet that you can survive this battlefield and be promoted to make a fortune.
Now that I heard the sound of gold, everyone under the city wall quickly retreated and took away the ladder. As for the hundreds of people on the wall.
is now fighting with the enemy and is entangled. It will take at least a moment to get out of it. And in this moment, the army under this city is still lining up on the wall, at least hundreds of people will be killed in battle.
Are these strangers under the city all our Virgins? Great enough to give up his life in exchange for those hundreds of people who survived him, and then the whole world would be peaceful.
Before going to the battlefield, these troops were told by their officers that when you retreat, you can retreat if you want to retreat, but you must bring back all these ladders that are intact, otherwise, which one can still be used? The ladder was lost, and the army who was in charge of the ladder was cut off.
Also, the weapons on your body can’t be thrown away at will. If you lose them, then you can only go up empty-handed the next time you go to the battlefield. When the time comes, there are no weapons or armors to be killed by others, but don't blame Shangguan for being ruthless!
Otherwise, these soldiers who wished their parents had two fewer legs and were able to quickly exit the battlefield, didn't want to go along the ladder, and just left everything and rushed back to the back.
