Turbulent Times Chapter 1072: Different offensive and defensive battles (7)

A large number of crude trebuchets on the Goguryeo side also started to launch, and the stone bullets flew flying and threw the earth wall on the defense side, smashing up **** of dregs. After three rounds, the tide of shield vehicles came towards the earth wall. Goguryeo soldiers launched two rows of shield chariots this time, and there were even three floors in the middle.

Liu Yidong stood on the top of Bailing City, condescending, in control of the overall situation, and gave out orders in an orderly manner. The defensive side was like a sophisticated machine, running nervously and orderly. Everyone was a part of this huge machine. Components that perform their own role or function.

When the Goguryeo soldiers entered within 700 steps, Wang Junlin's trebuchets began to throw stones in turn. The heavy stone bullets smashed those seemingly solid shielded chariots in all directions, screaming.

As soon as the two sides fought, it was very fierce. The screams on the battlefield never stopped, and people died all the time.

With the experience of the fierce defensive battle in the previous two days, Wang Junlin's defensive tactics have become more proficient, and everyone knows exactly what they should do at what time. Six hundred steps later, the long-range crossbow also began to fire, and the shield chariots were smashed to pieces, and the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers pushing the shield chariots screamed everywhere.

After entering the pothole area, the Goguryeo people's shielded chariots stopped one after another, and the auxiliary soldiers rushed out from behind, throwing soil bags one by one into the pothole. With the experience of the previous two days, they The filling action was much faster, and there was no fear and panic like the previous two days.

It's just that while they were filling the hole, they were cleaning up the wreckage of the shield car they left here two days ago, so that the speed of progress was very slow.

All the auxiliary soldiers howled with all their strength, pushing the shield cart forward desperately, no one wanted to dodge, their faces were numb, they were all resigned to their fate, thinking that they would die if they died.

When the distance was close to within a hundred steps, the soldiers in the front ditch on Wang Junlin's side fired continuously with rapid-fire crossbows.

Being killed so quickly and with a high probability, these auxiliary soldiers finally felt fear, but as long as anyone dared to stop, they would be shot to death by the supervising soldiers behind them, forcing all the auxiliary soldiers to move on , Without any protection, risking their lives to clear obstacles and fill holes, almost every time a hole is filled, more than a dozen Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers will die.

In this way, the potholes were filled one by one, and the shield chariot moved forward little by little, but the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers continued to decrease, while Wang Junlin's long-range crossbows, trebuchets, rapid-fire crossbows, ordinary bows and arrows, All the attacks are still fierce, harvesting the life of the enemy.

All the attacks seem to be messy, but in fact, the cooperation between each other, the filling of gaps, and the combination of long-range and short-range are all scientifically configured according to the actual situation after careful research before the war. Make sure to maximize the attack power, and try not to waste any attack, so as to continuously destroy those shield vehicles, shoot those Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers, and break up their formation, destroying their battles will.

For half a day, the Goguryeo soldiers finally advanced ninety steps away from the earth wall, which was the effective range of their bows and arrows.

With the order of the Goguryeo general in charge of the advance command, and the sound of a horn, thousands of light arrows rose into the sky and poured down towards the Sui people's earthen wall on the defensive side. Goguryeo's first large-scale counterattack.

However, the effect of such a counterattack made Yuan Gai Suwen, who witnessed the process from a distance, look very ugly.

Wang Junlin heard a dense puffing sound from the hanging curtain on the earthen wall, and the arrow-proof quilt seemed to be covered with weeds instantly. Bows and arrows can be blocked, and none of the arrows can penetrate this hanging curtain. Occasionally, only arrows shot higher can fall behind the earth wall, causing a scream from time to time.

In short, most of the tens of thousands of arrows shot obliquely by Goguryeo were blocked. The soldiers on standby behind the earthen wall hid under the hanging curtain, and there was a hanging curtain made of wooden frame and hemp quilt on it, which effectively resisted bows and arrows.

The so-called "everything is forewarned, nothing is foregone", the benefits and advantages of a well-prepared defensive battle are vividly reflected at this moment.

The defending side fought back from behind the parapet, shooting and killing the Goguryeo soldiers who filled the pit, and the two sides entered into a confrontation, but this kind of confrontation was too unfair. The Goguryeo side usually shot tens of thousands of arrows to kill a dozen people, but A hundred arrows from the defending side can kill more than a dozen Goguryeo soldiers.

The defense behind the earthen wall is in order. For some invisible situations, the observation posts on the top of the city behind or on the hillsides on both sides will continue to send messages and use arrows to report information.

…

…

Wang Junlin observed the enemy camp with a telescope. His own side attacked fiercely, and the long-range attack was very accurate within a hundred paces. The fragments of shield chariots exploded one after another on the front line, and the Goguryeo people screamed. The sound of the film sounded, but there was no obvious decrease in Goguryeo's shielded chariots. After being hit, some of the shielded chariots stopped, and then bypassed one behind to supplement the front line. The auxiliary soldiers were also endless. After the shield chariot, a group of auxiliary soldiers were driven out.

The shielded chariot stopped between seventy and eighty paces, and countless Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers worked desperately in front of the shielded chariot, stacking the remains of the shielded chariot left over from the previous few days in front of the new shielded chariot. Tens of thousands of Goguryeo archers drew their bows and threw them. After five or six arrows, they switched to another round, maintaining their physical strength. The wave of arrow rain seemed to never stop. Even though the soldiers on Wang Junlin's side had special hanging curtains, there were still casualties.

There are some sharpshooters selected by Goguryeo flashing in the shield room. Their shooting skills are accurate, and they can often suppress the Sui soldiers holding fast crossbows in the Lanmagou. After all, the defending side is much weaker than the opponent , in order to reduce losses, they had to withdraw to the earth wall one by one, climbed up those curved passages, retreated through the trench, entered the parapet in front of the earth wall, and continued to shoot against the parapet.

Hit the enemy.

In this way, the earth wall has two firepowers, but they will not affect each other's attacks, and they can also cooperate with each other to shoot at the same time, adding to each other's attack power.

"Send a message to Liu Yidong that the auxiliary soldiers behind the Goguryeo shield chariot are stacking soil bags in the shield chariot, and they probably also want to repair the trench." Wang Junlin took down the telescope and said to Zhang Tiangang next to him.

The latter responded immediately, quickly wrote what Wang Junlin said with a charcoal pen, and then sent a letter to Liu Yidong with a sea eagle.

Wang Junlin observed from the sea where he was located. After two stone bullets hit the shield car, the front guard plate was shattered, exposing the stacked earth bags inside. Knowing how to learn from us, they even thought of building ditches."
