This cavalry is worthy of being Peng You's trump card. After Yang Lin gave an order, the cavalry on the two wings of the army began to attack Xianning. In a blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed into the attack range of the arrow towers on both sides, and in the city, Huang Yunfei looked at the cavalry rushing out from the two wings of the enemy army, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "I want to use cavalry to suppress me. The arrow tower? Huh. Pass the order. The enemy advances two hundred steps to attack."
The attack range of the arrow towers on both sides of Xianning is a full 500 steps away. However, Huang Yunfei only launched the attack after ordering two hundred steps. Obviously, he didn't want to do it so early. After Huang Yunfei's military order was delivered to the arrow tower, the archer who had already opened the longbow slowly retracted, waiting for the enemy to reach the attack range specified by Huang Yunfei.
The speed of the cavalry is not comparable to that of the infantry. Soon, the cavalry in the front has rushed to a distance of two hundred steps from the gate of the city. Many cavalry soldiers have begun to take down their bows and arrows from their backs and aim at the four tall ones. The arrow tower is ready to shoot at any time. And at this moment, Huang Yun quickly raised his right hand, and the messenger behind Huang Yunfei immediately blew the horn. With the sound of the horn, the archers on the four arrow towers shot the arrows in their hands at the same time. The arrow fell like rain, frantically towards the cavalry below.
As the arrow rain fell, the screams came and went one after another. At this moment, the cavalry was completely within the attack range of the arrow tower. This round of arrows rained down, and instantly took the lives of two or three hundred soldiers. When Wang Gaoyi met in the rear, his heart was dripping blood. At this moment, he didn't care about the conflicts with Liu Tong and Yang Lin. He stepped forward and took Liu Tong's arm and shouted: "Major General. It can't be this way. Let's go down. If the cavalry fights out like this, I can't explain it to my adults."
Seeing the tragedy of the cavalry, Liu Tong couldn't help but frown, but he knew in his heart that if he retreats just now, those cavalry soldiers who had just been lost would only be sacrificed in vain. Liu Tong sighed, turned his head and said to Wang Gaoyi: "General Wang, calm down. How can there be no sacrifices in the battle now? Don't worry. As long as the cavalry soldiers rush into their attack range, they can suppress the arrow tower. Up."
Liu Tong was talking here, and in front, the cavalry had already begun to attack. These cavalry soldiers are elite divisions trained by Peng You with great painstaking effort. Although they have just suffered a lot of blows, the cavalry soldiers are unmoved and continue to charge. With the speed of the horses, they rushed to a position only a hundred steps away from the gate of the city, and the cavalry began their counterattack.
Speaking of the art of riding and shooting, it was originally a unique tactic of the grassland aliens. The aliens of the grassland are races born on horseback. This riding and shooting art of the Golden State Army caused all the Song troops to have a headache. . Since Peng You arrived in Yuezhou, he has specifically practiced the riding and shooting skills of the grassland aliens in response to the unique tactics of these grassland aliens. Every one of his cavalry soldiers, even if they are dismounted, is a qualified archer.
At this moment, it was the time when the cavalry showed their abilities, and saw a famous cavalry soldier clamped the horse with his legs, no matter how bumpy the horse was sitting down, their upper body remained balanced. Everyone bends their bows and shoots arrows, pulls the strong bow to the full moon, raises it high, aims at the arrow tower above, and starts archery.
"Shoo!" With the sound of countless air breaking sounds, in the sky above Xianning, arrows flew up and down, and the shadows of the arrows were intertwined, even blocking the sunlight in the sky. Although the cavalry paid a lot of money, everything was just as Yang Lin had previously expected. The cavalry's art of riding and shooting began to slowly suppress the archers on the arrow tower. Many of Zhao Jun's archers were shot by cavalry arrows. Fortunately, they shot in the arm or leg, and they were quickly saved by the comrades behind them. Unfortunately, they were shot in the forehead, throat and other vitals, one by one, they fell directly from the arrow tower, and ended up in pieces.
"Beat the drum! Forward attack." Seeing that the cavalry's suppression had an effect, Yang Lin flashed a light in his eyes, and immediately ordered the long-awaited forward shield soldiers and archers to attack.
With the sound of the war drums, the sword hammerman in front immediately raised the shield in his hand and steadily rushed towards the gate of the city, and the archer followed closely behind. Thanks to the cavalry on the two wings that attracted the attack of the archers on the arrow towers, the hammer and archers in the front line were able to pass the attack range of the arrow towers smoothly. Especially the archers, after reaching the cavalry side, immediately divided into two teams, left and right, began to support the cavalry, shooting together at the arrow tower.
And what these archers shoot out are not ordinary arrows, but a rocket that ignites flames on the arrowhead. In order to allow the arrow tower to lean forward, most of the materials used by Mingjiao's closed-door children are wood when making the arrow tower. This leaves the only hidden danger for the arrow tower. Those rockets were nailed to the arrow tower and soon ignited the wooden guard plates. The fire not only began to devour the arrow tower, but also hindered the sight of the archers in the arrow tower.
"Fight the fire! Fight the fire!" Zhao Jun in the arrow tower panicked when it caught fire, but Huang Yunfei always remained calm. He glanced at the situation of the arrow tower on the left and right. With a swing of one hand, he separated hundreds of people. The soldiers went to the arrow tower to fight the fire. Immediately afterwards, Huang Yunfei looked at the enemy forces in front of them that were gradually approaching the gate of the city, snorted coldly, and shouted behind him: "Heavy-armored infantry prepares to kill the formation."
"Drink." Before Huang Yunfei gave an order, the heavy armored infantry always stood behind Huang Yunfei, five thousand people lined up in a square formation, no one moved. After Huang Yunfei gave the order, the heavy-armored infantry immediately changed their formations, forming a total of three rows and one-line formation, standing shoulder to shoulder, standing in front of the female wall, neatly pulling out their waist swords, shouting in unison. Screamed.
And outside the city gate, the sword and shield soldiers who had rushed to the front were ready to accept the attack from the city, but they held their shields for a long time, and there was no movement at all. This makes these swordsmen don’t know what to do for a while, look at me, I look at you, even if you want to siege the city, you can’t climb up the city with your bare hands without any siege equipment, right
"Weird." Yang Lin met at the back, also narrowing his eyes. He didn't know what medicine Huang Yunfei sold in this city, so he couldn't help but muttered. But now he has achieved his goal. Yang Lin immediately held a single-handed sword and waved in the air, shouting: "Beat the drum! The whole army attacked and attacked the city!"
"Kill!" Following Yang Lin's order, the drums became more and more intense, and the more than 10,000 coalition forces carrying the ladder began to launch the strongest attack on the city. Even Liu Tong and Yang Lin couldn't help but slapped their horses behind them. Even if they couldn't charge forward, they could at least take a step closer to watch the changes in the war.
Because of the attacks of the cavalry and archers, the four arrow towers were no longer able to make any effective obstacles to the army that rushed forward. While extinguishing the fire on the arrow tower, while launching a counterattack against the cavalry and archers, they could only watch the main force pass the attack range of the arrow tower and launch an impact towards the gate of the city. Originally, the coalition forces were in a very good situation, but at this moment, Yang Lin, who had been watching the development of the war, changed his expression and exclaimed, "Not good."
Hearing Yang Lin suddenly exclaimed that he was not good, Liu Tong who was beside Yang Lin couldn't help but was taken aback. Now the situation is very good, why would Yang Lin say "bad"? Liu Tong quickly stepped forward and asked, "General Xia, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Yang Lin's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to shout, but in the end he shook his head helplessly. When Liu Tong asked, Yang Lin could only say with a bitter expression: "I was wrong! Major General , Look." After speaking, Yang Lin stretched out his hand and pointed to the battlefield ahead.
Liu Tong looked in the direction Yang Lin pointed, only to see that the coalition forces were now launching an attack against Xianning in accordance with the tactics that Yang Lin had previously arranged, and the coalition forces at the forefront had successfully started to erect on the wall of Xianning Up the ladder. In Liu Tong's view, everything went smoothly, and there was nothing wrong with it. Yang Lin explained from the side: "The gate of Xianning is narrow. There can be too many soldiers and horses rushing to the gate, and because the cavalry and archers have to suppress the arrow towers on both sides, it is even smaller. Attack the roads of Xianning. In this way, the attack surface for attacking Xianning will be reduced to a minimum."
"Ah! Yeah!" Although Liu Tong is usually a bit reckless, he is also a good fighter on the march. Hearing Yang Lin's explanation, he immediately saw the reason. Sure enough, the left and right cavalry and archers had occupied about half of the road in front of Guan, and the road that was originally very narrow was even more crowded at this moment. Even if the coalition forces that attacked Xianning amounted to more than 10,000 people, less than half of them actually rushed to Xianning, and the others were all blocked behind. After Liu Tong understood the situation, he immediately said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for. Quickly withdraw the cavalry and archers back."
"No." Yang Lin's expression became more bitter, and he shook his head and said: "Retreating now will only make the loss of the previous cavalry meaningless. And now the cavalry and archer are already stuck in the middle. Kidling asked them to withdraw, instead, they would completely cut off the offensive against Xianning. The five thousand soldiers in front would have to face the three-sided flanking attack from Xianning, and they would definitely die. Right now, they can only continue to attack."
"Uh." Liu Tong was also speechless. Yang Lin was indeed right. This is already the situation, and now the coalition forces can only persist to the end. As soon as he gritted his teeth, Liu Tong shouted to Yang Lin: "General Xia, you continue to command. I will bear all the consequences."
Yang Lin was taken aback, but immediately understood Liu Tong's meaning. If the battle is fought for this reason, even if Xianning can be captured in the end, it will be a tragic victory. Yang Lin, who commanded the battle afterwards, must bear the responsibility. After all, it is the allied forces of the Quartet Volunteers, not the soldiers and horses of Xia Cheng’s family. . But Liu Tong's words were to take all the responsibility to himself, just to let Yang Lin put down all the psychological burdens and direct the battle wholeheartedly.
Yang Lin was very grateful for Liu Tong's kindness, and at the same time, Yang Lin was also secretly wary. This Liu Guang's heir was indeed not an ordinary person. If he inherited Liu Guang's foundation in the future, it would not be a good thing for Xia Jiajun.
Leaving other distracting thoughts aside for the time being, Yang Lin took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted to the messenger behind him: "The drum is to pass the order. The whole army speeds up the attack. There is no general order to retreat. Those who violate the order, cut!"
With the sound of the war drums, the coalition soldiers on the battlefield rushed bravely. Soon, the wall of Xianning was already full of rebel coalition soldiers who were climbing upwards.
While in the city, Huang Yunfei was unmoved, watching the battle outside the city calmly. The same was true for the heavy armored infantry soldiers who had formed a formation behind him. Everyone had no expression on their faces and stared at the front. It's just that in their hands, the single blade that has been unsheathed exudes a chilling light, just like fangs ready to swallow life.
At this time, a coalition soldier who rushed to the front had already climbed to the top of the ladder. In fact, when they were climbing Xianning, they were immediately blocked by the rolling wood stone, long spears, and hooks, but The siege soldiers still climbed up from below desperately.
A coalition soldier was so powerful that he climbed the ladder. He grabbed the female wall directly above with one hand, gritted his teeth, kicked hard, and jumped to the city. But before he was surprised, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his head was cut away in an instant. And on the head flying in the air, there was still a smiling face of ecstasy.
After beheading the coalition soldier, Huang Yunfei waved his knife and shook off the blood on the blade. He looked at the coalition soldiers who had climbed up to the pass with cold eyes, and shouted: "Heavy armored infantry. Kill the formation."
"Drink." The voice of the heavy armored infantry soldier was neatly like a person. After this shout, the first row of heavy armored infantry soldiers directly waved the single-sword in their hands, neatly facing those who had just been in front. Allied soldiers who climbed up chopped over. Between the blade and the blade, there is only a space of about ten inches apart. With such a dense blade, the coalition soldiers have no room to escape. In a blink of an eye, all the coalition soldiers who climbed up to the pass were cut into flesh.
"Hiss--." Seeing such a result, the coalition outside the city heard a burst of air-conditioning sounds from time to time, apparently frightened by the powerful attack power of the heavy armored infantry. Of course, this shock was only short-lived, and the soldiers and horses trained by the Quartet Rebels were not ordinary soldiers. Soon, they were thrown into the fight again.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in the city did not stop their attacks because of the results of the battle. They followed the heavy armored infantry soldiers in the second and third rows with a stride forward, and the first row of heavy armors who had just launched the attack The infantry soldiers withdrew from the left and right sides, just to make room for the comrades behind. When the second row of heavy infantry soldiers rushed to the forefront, just in front of the empty female wall was filled with allied soldiers who had just climbed up.
"Drink." There was another shout, accompanied by a steel knife shining with cold light, once again beheading all the enemies in front of the heavy armored infantry. This formation of the heavy armored infantry is precisely the killing formation that Huang Yunfei specially trained to defend Xianning. Huang Yunfei swung a knife to kill a fish that slipped through the net, and looked at the enemy army outside the city with cold eyes.
Climbing the city wall would have lost a lot, and the soldiers who climbed the city wall were unable to take the city wall in front of the heavy armored infantry. The number of coalition soldiers who died tragically under the sword of a heavy armored infantry has exceeded nearly 500. The results of such a battle can be seen by Liu Tong and Yang Lin who are commanding outside the city, but they are helpless. Looking up at the sky, the sky is already slowly darkening at this time. If it gets dark, it will be even more difficult to attack the city. Yang Lin gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Liu Tong, and said, "Major General, we..."
Before Yang Lin finished speaking, Liu Tong interrupted him directly and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't ask me. Now you are the commander. What you do is command the army. I said, I will bear all the consequences. "
Liu Tong's words calmed Yang Lin's mood inexplicably, and then turned his head to look at the battlefield ahead. At this moment, the four arrow towers on Xianning have completely burned, and the archers on the arrow towers have also withdrawn from the arrow towers. If nothing else, these four arrow towers can be said to have been completely abolished. It's just that the battle in the city still shows a one-sided situation, the heavy armored infantry in that city is really too powerful. Even if a few heavy-armored infantry soldiers are chopped up occasionally, they will soon be rescued by the comrades behind them, while other heavy-armored infantry soldiers will make up for them.
