"Back the archers!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly: "Let the barbarians come up, after the barbarians kick the city, their archers will stop shooting arrows!"
"no!"
General Bie, who commanded the archers, said anxiously: "If you don't suppress them, the enemies will continue to climb up. If you can't stop them at that time, whoever will be responsible for the fall of the city wall!"
"Just look at it!"
Chen Dingnan swept away the long lance, and lance Feng removed half of the head of a wolf rider who had just appeared. The wolf cavalryman who had his head removed looked very strange and ferocious, blood and brains flowed down instantly.
"Long array, four steps back!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly.
The two hundred white-robed lancers took four steps back neatly, and the two hundred people were divided into two rows, with their bodies staggered, so that the lancers in the back could attack in the gaps between the lancers in the front row. Taking these four steps back, it just left a foothold for the wolf cavalry who climbed up. But having a foothold does not mean that they can stand, because when those wolf cavalry climbed up, they faced a row of spearheads.
"You have been training with me for more than ten years, and I have taken you to train with me since I started martial arts. The Chen family has gone through so many hardships and is not willing to let you fight, but today we must stand up! I have repeatedly petitioned, and Lord Hou agreed. Let's go to the city, as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, the Chen family didn't use you for private affairs, but now that the country is in crisis, you have no reason to retreat!"
"Those who retreat are not members of my Chen family!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly, and all the white-robed swords answered neatly: "I would rather die than retreat!"
At this moment, some wolf cavalry climbed up and saw that their own men had already gone up, and the arrow array far away from Tie'er really didn't dare to shoot again. Kuoketai Menglie couldn't help being overjoyed seeing that the remnants of Zhe Liebie could charge up, and immediately ordered Kuobie Tie'er to take his two thousand-man troops to support.
Before the first wolf cavalryman who climbed up had time to stand still, a long lance with a length of more than two feet pierced his heart precisely. After Feng came out, it took a while for blood to flow out from the wound like spring water. The lance in the second row pulled out the lance while the person in front drew back the lance, and pushed that person off the city wall.
Only then did the general who commanded the archers realize that the spearmen in the second row were holding the long spears upside down, with the fronts of the spears facing backwards and the tails of the spears facing forward.
The one who kills in front, the one who pushes people behind.
The two lances who made the move just now had no gaps in their cooperation.
If it weren't for great self-confidence, who would dare to line up like this
Chen Dingnan didn't have any expression on his face, because he had extra trust in the two hundred white robes under his command. These young people have been with him since he practiced martial arts. One of the most correct decisions of his father was to train a group of the most loyal guards for him. These two hundred people are Chen Dingnan's amulets. When the rebels were raging fiercely, when Fang Jie led troops to besiege the city, Chen Dingnan didn't let the two hundred white robes show up, but this time, he didn't hesitate when facing the foreign enemy.
At first, Fang Jie didn't agree to let him bring two hundred white robes to the city. He didn't need to verify it. Fang Jie could see how elite these two hundred people were just by looking at them. They walk at the same pace, and when they stand, they have a natural array of strokes. This is not a tacit understanding that can be achieved through cooperation in one month, two months, one year or two years. But they didn't have any actual combat experience in defending against the enemy, so Fang Xie didn't dare to be careless.
Chen Dingnan insisted on going to the city to fight. Fang Xie knew that this young man was eager to do meritorious service and his eyes were extraordinarily confident, so he didn't stop him.
The first row of lances kills with one hand, and the second row of lances reverses their long lances. If this method of formation is replaced by others, the enemy will probably disperse as soon as they charge. But these two hundred white robes can't, they have practiced this formation for more than ten years. Whatever action the person in front makes, the person behind will react naturally.
Just like a person is born with four arms and four legs, there is no hindrance at all.
One ladder after another was erected on the stone wall, and one soldier after another climbed up the ladders. At this moment, the archer who didn't believe Chen Dingnan was stunned. The white-robed lances in the first row shot swiftly like lightning, each blow accurately sending the lances into the enemy's vital points. And after the person in front hits, the lance behind immediately pushes the enemy in the middle of the lance.
If viewed from one side, the movements of the front and rear rows of lancers are as stable as machinery.
When the wolf cavalry came up, one was poked and the other was turned over, and the corpses fell down like dumplings.
The efficiency of the two hundred white robes killing people was ridiculously high, and almost none of them failed. There seemed to be inexhaustible strength in their arms, and their steady spears did not tremble in the slightest after killing people. In just ten minutes, at least more than a hundred wolf cavalry who climbed up one after another were stabbed to death, but none of them could stand their feet firmly on the stone wall, even for ten seconds.
The speed of this kind of killing cannot be described in words, and it is extremely difficult for people who have not seen this scene to imagine what kind of ruthlessness it is. One shot at a time, one kill at a time. Twenty minutes later, there was still no trace of blood on the clothes of the first row of white-robed spearmen. Thirty minutes later, they were still able to maintain the same speed and stability.
Fang Jie glanced back at Qilin and said: "Bring a reserve team to prepare. Although this kind of killing method is sharp, but the soldiers are too fast and there is no time to rest, so they can't last long. But Chen Dingnan will let him go as long as he can last." How long will he persist, this way of killing will hit the enemy's morale the hardest!"
Qilin nodded while holding the copper stick, already impatient.
…
…
For an entire hour, at least 900 wolf cavalrymen were stabbed to death by the white-robed lance and then fell from the stone wall. The four steps that Chen Dingnan had deliberately set aside were the fatal temptation to attract the wolf cavalrymen. The subsequent soldiers who climbed up only saw the corpses falling one by one, and their fear became heavier and heavier. Four steps away, exactly the length caused by the lance.
"Substitution!"
Chen Dingnan saw that the speed of the lances in the first row gradually slowed down and shouted loudly, and the lances in the back row immediately took a step forward, and at the same time turned the long lances around and moved forward. The soldiers in the first row took a step back without looking back, but no one collided with the people behind them. This kind of cooperation made people admire it.
"Archers ready!"
Chen Dingnan pierced the eye sockets of the climbing wolf cavalry, turned his head and shouted at the back archer Bie Jiang: "My men are exhausted, wait for a while when I call you to step forward!"
Then General nodded quickly and ordered the archers to prepare.
Chen Dingnan, who was in the second row, held on for about 20 minutes after coming up. Chen Dingnan knew that the line of defense might collapse if he didn't switch defenses. He yelled loudly, and then rushed forward. All the white-robed spears moved forward almost at the same time, pressing forward neatly to push down all the wolf cavalry who climbed up, and then it was as if someone was manipulating them at the same time. Almost at the same time, they put the long spears on the ladder. Push forward.
Thirty or so ladders on the stone wall were pushed up and then slowly fell backwards.
This scene was extremely spectacular. All the ladders were overturned and fell backwards. The wolf knight soldiers who were still hanging on the ladders shouted in panic and fell down heavily.
After overturning the ladder, Chen Dingnan retreated immediately: "Archers and reserve team come up!"
Don't general the archer has been waiting, and when he heard the shout, he immediately led people forward to make up for it. The two hundred white robes retreated in an orderly manner, killing more than a thousand people, without losing a single person!
After the archers went up, Qilin immediately came up with a regiment of 300 people to replace Chen Dingnan's spearmen. When going down, Chen Dingnan looked back at the endless array of wolf cavalry below the city, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Jie stood on a high place behind the city wall and kept watching, with approval in his eyes.
Chen Dingnan is conceited, but he has the capital to be conceited. Fang Jie never doubted Chen Dingnan's ability from the beginning to the end. As long as this young man goes through a few more battles, he will surely become a brave general. And his two hundred soldiers showed their greatest power on this battlefield. There are only 200 people, but they just hold the city wall. If the stone wall is longer, their formation will not have such an effect if they become loose.
The most important thing is that, from the time when the two hundred white robes went up to kill the enemy to when they retreated to rest, everyone's expression was exceptionally calm, without any change.
After Qilin came up, he couldn't help but patted Chen Dingnan on the shoulder: "Beautiful job!"
Chen Dingnan staggered when he slapped him, and said embarrassingly, "Can't you be a little bit harder?"
Qilin laughed loudly, pointed to the back and said, "Take someone down to rest, this time it's me!"
Chen Dingnan nodded: "I'll come back later, be careful!"
Qilin said: "The savage who can hurt me hasn't been born yet, so don't worry!"
Chen Qing also laughed, and jumped off the two-foot-high city wall. He quickly walked up to Fang Jie and cupped his fists: "The subordinates are back, the soldiers are exhausted and dare not fight any more."
Fang Jie nodded and said: "Well, you did the right thing, go down and rest, it is estimated that the morale of Qilin will drop to the bottom after beating the barbarians for a while, and the sky has already darkened, Quoketai Menglie is about to withdraw his troops. "
"Will the barbarians sneak attack tonight?"
Chen Dingnan asked.
"inevitable."
Fang Jie nodded: "Kuo Ke Tai Meng Lie has no patience to waste any more. Just now the scouts came to report that many monks and a large number of herdsmen were gathered on the grassland of Mandu Banner in the west, but they can Not here to meet Meng Lie, but to prevent Meng Lie from going back."
"The troubles at Mengyuan's side seem to have caused Quoketai Mengge to suffer a lot!"
Chen Dingnan laughed loudly.
Fang Jie hummed: "Don't worry about it, just block Meng Lie. If there is no accident, even if the imperial court does not attack Jinyang, they will divide their troops. The emperor can see clearly than anyone else. The remnants are nothing to worry about, but the 200,000 wolf riders are the real concern. So, let's hold on for six or seven days at most, and the reinforcements will arrive soon."
"The savages who haven't been able to break through our stone wall for six or seven days will really despair!"
Chen Dingnan laughed, then clasped his fists in salute and went down to rest.
The archers of the Black Banner Army on the city wall showed their power again, splashed the boiling oil, and put down the spikes. The remaining one or two hundred people of Zhe Liebie's three thousand-man teams finally collapsed and began to retreat. They were no longer capable of continuing to attack. Kuobie Tie'er charged again for a while, but after losing seven or eight hundred soldiers, he still failed to attack. The sky gradually darkened, and as Fang Jie expected, there was the sound of horns from the Mongolian Yuan army, and the attacking team began to attack. Back off slowly.
first day
The barbarians left more than 4,000 corpses outside the stone wall. Within a hundred and fifty steps from the city wall, there was almost no land to be seen, and they were all covered by corpses.
Soon after the barbarians retreated, a large number of unarmed wolf cavalry began to sweep the battlefield. The soldiers of the Black Banner Army on the stone wall leaned against the wall and watched the enemy below carry away one corpse after another, and no one shot arrows. At this time, no matter how intense the hatred is, they will not lose their minds.
This is a practice on the battlefield, no one will do anything to the soldiers who clean up the corpses.
Fang Xie climbed onto the stone wall, looking at the busy crowd outside, his eyes were always calm, no one noticed, when he stared at those savages, there was a flash of worry in his eyes. Just now he suddenly thought of something, something that was very bad for him and the Black Banner Army. If he guessed right, then everyone might be in a very difficult situation.
Hope not.
Fang Jie muttered something in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the east. The sun was far, far behind him, very low, and night was coming.
