Taking a deep breath, an unnoticed undercurrent surged up on Mulige's dark face. A pair of tightly wrapped animal-shaped ring-swallowing chainmail on his thick body shone brightly in the sun. The light, the thick-edged machete on his waist swayed slightly as he advanced. He had not been so excited for a long time. It was really a battle worth looking forward to. If he missed such a wonderful battle, I would regret it for the rest of his life. Fortunately, the Lord gave himself some face and finally handed over this first battle to his own division. Although he knew that the first day of the battle would not have any outcome, after all, this was the first battle, the first drop. Blood will be shed here.
Seeing that the engineering troops, with the cooperation of his men, had pushed various long-range attack weapons to the critical line of attack from both sides, all preparations had been announced, and he was only waiting for his final order. Mulige did not hesitate any more, and made a decisive move with his big hand. Waving, the messenger next to him received the order from the general, and the small flag that had been held high in his hand suddenly waved down.
Bursts of harsh and harsh sounds sounded almost at the same moment, "bang", "cough" and "crash". The first to attack was a powerful sling. As the huge slinging arm suddenly let go, accompanied by a huge recoil, The whole body of the huge catapult trembled violently. Bluestones and basalt stones of various sizes formed a shower of meteorites in the air. The roaring sound mixed with a shrill scream flew towards the gate tower of Lulongnan City directly in front. In a few seconds, Finally, the meteorite rain flew to the destination and began to slide down. The hard stones rushed forward with huge inertia, and suddenly smashed countless dust and smoke on the tower.
In just two waves of stone rain attacks, the dilapidated wall towers disintegrated and collapsed. The unlucky Taiping soldiers were smashed into pieces without even a chance to grunt. Ordinary wooden shields could not withstand this kind of attack. A powerful weapon with great impact can only be supported by a huge and thick iron-clad shield. However, under such continuous boulder attacks, even an iron-clad shield can hardly cope with it. Just as the Taiping Army gritted their teeth and struggled to hold on, a scalp-numbing scream began to form one after another, and the densely packed crossbows like locusts just flashed across the city walls and The distance between the enemy troops poured towards the top of the city wall. Before there was any time to react, the iron-clad oar shield that was already shaking under the impact of the stone rain could not withstand such an extremely sharp all-iron gun. The piercing impact, the dull sounds of "Puff, Puff, Puff", were accompanied by the soldiers' miserable howls. That was the sound made by the crossbow gun after it pierced the scull shield and caused damage to the soldiers. The crossbow gun trend has not yet completely ended. The second wave of stone rain came again, causing huge damage to the Taiping soldiers who were fleeing in all directions. The entire city tower has turned into a river of blood and a mountain of flesh. The bodies of the soldiers were in this devastating situation. It has been deformed under the blow, and blood, limbs, corpses, and rocks are piled up in a mess. This is the most realistic portrayal of Lulongnan City Gate at this time.
Jiang Bin, who was hiding behind the crenellations of the city wall, was so painful that his face was distorted. Seeing the enemy being so rampant and wanton against his brothers, he had no choice but to do anything. His own long-range strike weapons were so insignificant compared to the opponent's. Both in terms of quantity and power, they are far from the same level. At this time, he can only endure, endure, and endure again. He knows that the other party is also waiting for his slings and crossbows to attack, but he cannot and does not dare to now. To use it, good steel must be used on the blade. He cannot expose himself at this time. These weapons must wait until the enemy's siege infantry catches up before they can show their power. Otherwise, they will only disappear after being struck by the enemy.
Just as the second wave of attacks hit the upper floors of the enemy's city gate wall like a storm, Mulige had already decisively ordered the first regiment to attack. The shouting Gaoyue soldiers held the ladders high and pushed the city crossing vehicles and city ramming vehicles. Howling and rolling toward the foot of the city wall crazily, the second wave of long-range attacks, which had adjusted its strike accuracy, had not yet ended.
Hearing the roaring sound under the city wall, Jiang Bin knew without thinking that the enemy's first infantry charge had finally begun. He quietly raised his head and glanced under the city wall. The dark enemy soldiers were running very fast, forming an irregular line. He swooped towards his direction with a crooked curve. The distance of several hundred meters was shortened by just a few breaths. Without any time to think about it, Jiang Bin secretly gave a gesture to the ordering soldier who had been waiting for his order, and followed the order. The soldiers whistled urgently, and the slingshot and crossbow soldiers who had been lying in wait but did not dare to make a sound could finally feel proud.
They are both slingshots and crossbows, but the damage they cause is completely different. Just the large shield in their hands cannot provide much protection to the soldiers while they are running. Wave after wave of arrows and rocks pour down on the swarming soldiers. On the heads of the Gaoyue soldiers who came, the dry land suddenly turned into a river of blood. The soldiers rushing forward were crushed or pierced by boulders and crossbow arrows without even a chance to react. No matter how strong they were, they would not be able to survive in the face of such an attack. This kind of mechanically pressed weapon is as fragile as a baby. The originally majestic formation was suddenly a little messy, just like a neat piece of cloth was suddenly pierced by countless arrows, and suddenly became fragmented, looking so... It was dazzling and cruel. The breath of Mulige who was watching the battle from a distance suddenly became much tighter, and a cold dark light flashed in his eyes, but his self-esteem kept him calm: "Observation post, show me clearly the enemy's slings and slings." At the position of the crossbow position, order our catapults to suppress the opponent! Speed up the advance of the mobile arrow tower and order them to sweep away all the living creatures on the enemy's wall!"
When waves of rocks rained down on his catapult group, Jiang Bin knew that the enemy was already taking corresponding measures, but he was not worried. Although his catapults were much less powerful, they were less maneuverable. It has been greatly improved. After launching two consecutive waves of attacks, it has already changed its position. The enemy's retaliatory attacks are just in vain. However, when the towering arrow towers of the Northwest Army began to slowly advance towards the city wall, Jiang Bin's face suddenly turned gloomy again. This kind of mobile arrow towers was even more threatening to the low-walled Lulong City than those powerful ones. Crossbows and catapults, these guys at high places can not only counter their own side by taking advantage of the heights, but the sentries in a good observation position can even use flags to notify the rear commander and the catapults and catapults of their own side in the shortest possible time. Weaknesses and loopholes can greatly increase the strength of the opponent's attack. This is a great disaster. I am afraid that I will have to give up some catapults in exchange for perishing with these arrow towers. It will only take a short moment. , Jiang Bin made a decisive decision.
Seeing that his own arrow tower was attacked by the enemy like crazy before it could fully enter the combat position, Mulige seemed so helpless. The enemy general seemed to be very aware of the threat of the arrow tower, and even did not hesitate to use it to Exposing and sacrificing the catapults in exchange for perishing with one's own arrow tower. Although one's own catapult attack group quickly carried out a devastating blow to the enemy's exposed catapults, the enemy's strategic purpose had been achieved, and several of one's own The arrow tower was already crumbling under the bombardment of countless enemy boulders. In the end, it fell to the ground and turned into ruins during the retreat.
Sighing, Mulige regretted a little. He should have arranged the arrow tower's advancement position to be more concealed and stepped. In this way, even if the enemy succeeded, he could eliminate more of the enemy's catapults, or at least be able to help him. To lay a solid foundation for future wars, it seems a bit uneconomical to lose a few arrow towers and only eliminate a few catapults. However, if you learn a lesson and gain wisdom, they will not be so good next time. Got lucky.
As the raging wave of soldiers finally approached the city wall, the offensive and defensive battle also entered its climax. The Gaoyue soldiers swarming up had forgotten everything. The dexterous ladders and tall cross-city vehicles suddenly connected the city wall to the land under their feet. They roared, shouted, roared, with red eyes, waving the giant axes and machetes in their hands, like a dark brown tide suddenly rushed onto the embankment of the city wall, and the Taiping Army, which had already gritted its teeth, was even more prepared. , the two armies met in close combat, and countless brilliant sparks suddenly spattered.
With swords and guns clashing, axes and halberds clashing, a live battle of flesh and blood was immediately staged on the top of the city. Stumped limbs, broken heads, intestines, and facial features seemed to have become an organ trading market, the cheapest trading market. All the soldiers They have forgotten everything, and there is only one thing in their eyes, and that is to kill each other!
Flexibly flipping the machete in his hand, the head of a Gaoyue soldier was cut off easily, and the bones rolled straight down the city wall. Before a look of pride appeared, he suddenly found that a sharp belt suddenly appeared on his chest. The iron spear head was covered with blood. At this time, severe pain came from the chest. He had just pulled out the machete from the opponent's waist, and the dark red plasma even splashed on his face. He was about to let out an excited roar, Suddenly, he found that his throat could not make any sound, because his eyes happened to see a sharp sword passing his neck. This extremely gorgeous yet cruel and real scene is staged countless times every moment in this city. If there is a bystander, as long as he stands for a moment, he will no longer have any interest in watching, because it is really too... Ordinary.
When the last siege vehicle was attacked by enemy oil bombs and rockets and burst into flames, Mulige knew that today's war was basically over. In exchange for the elite soldiers of his regiment, he turned out to be two thousand remnant soldiers. This also includes the losses of the engineers assigned to them. Is this the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army? Are they too strong or are their own troops too weak? Mulige was a little angry and confused. Although he had been mentally prepared, Mulige was still stung by this huge loss.
Taking a deep breath, Mulig couldn't help but crack the knuckles in his hands. The unsteady dark light in his eyes was hesitant like a snake's letter. What a Jiang Bin, he really has a hand, but not In this way, does this battle seem too dull? A battle without a trace of suspense is too boring to fight. Through the bursts of fire and smoke on the battlefield, Mulige's eyes fell on the collapsed city wall. Tomorrow , let me see how you will respond tomorrow
