The watchtower is higher than the city wall, so it can see the battles everywhere, and it is also convenient for Li Ye to catch the opportunity and dispatch troops.
The company battalion is behind the watchtower, and in front of the watchtower is a 100,000 army in neat formation. Of course, outside the city wall of Li Ye, there were only about 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it also spread out a large area, covering several miles of land. Looking beyond the city wall, Li Ye could also see the large formation of officers and soldiers at the other end.
In front of the large formation of officers and soldiers spread out on three sides, Dengzhou City looked very small, like an isolated island in the sea.
The layout of the large formation is very particular. The small infantry formations form a large formation, and the two wings of the large formation are guarded by cavalry, which are connected into pieces, and finally form an iron-clad ocean.
There are large passages between the large squares, and small passages between the small squares. First, it is convenient for the messengers to run and pass orders, but to draw boundaries between each other's subordinates, so that their actions do not affect each other.
In each phalanx, the shield bearer is in front, the spearman is behind, and the archer is again. As for the horizontal knife... Everyone in Datang's army carried a horizontal knife.
Li Ye stood with his hands behind his back, took out his folding fan from time to time, and shook it lightly in front of his chest.
Today's first combat mission is to fill in the moat.
In fact, when Zhu Wen attacked Dengzhou, he had already filled up the moat. During this period of time, he was rushing to work day and night, but only dug a trench, which was still far from restoring its original appearance. The officers and soldiers had already prepared sacks filled with soil, and it was naturally Caizhou generals who were responsible for filling the trenches.
Following Li Ye's military order, the earth-shattering sound of war drums sounded, and the square formation in front began to move. It looked like the ocean divided into a lake. The speed is not very fast, but the smoke and dust are already filling the ground. From Li Ye's position, it looks a bit like ants moving.
After approaching the range of the bows and arrows of the Dengzhou defenders, clouds of arrows rained down on the city wall, and the arrow clouds slid across an arc in midair and fell into the formation of the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the entire formation of the officers and soldiers had already begun to gallop. The people in front rushed up with their shields on their backs, and the people behind braved their bodies to follow up. Finally, they stopped in front of the ditch, and the soldiers dragging the sack rushed out, threw the sack into the ditch, and ran back.
During this process, many people were shot by sharp arrows, but not many actually fell to the ground. The officers and soldiers are well-armored. It is not easy for sharp arrows to shoot through iron armor. Unless they are shot into the gap, why do you need iron armor? .
However, it is even more difficult for a sharp arrow that shoots through iron armor to penetrate into the flesh and further injure the internal organs. At this distance, the power of bows and arrows is not that great, only the unlucky ones who are shot in the face, neck, or thigh will fall down. Even if the rest were hit by arrows, no one was lying on the ground crying for their father and mother, so what should they do.
As the battle progressed, most of the running soldiers had a few arrows stuck in their bodies, but they were still agile. When it comes to the battlefield, it is the basic requirement not to get minor injuries. When wearing armor, there is no time to bandage.
Those self-respecting and brave soldiers were almost shot by hedgehogs, and they were still running and throwing sacks into the trench. They didn't hurt their vitals.
However, as the battle continued, the arrows rained down one after another, and the casualties gradually increased. Although the covering strike is stupid, it is not useless. Wave after wave of arrow rain, there are always some unlucky people who are shot in the vitals and fall to the ground.
And once the rain of arrows continues to fall to a certain extent, those who are not hit at the vital point will be considered lucky.
The archers at the top of the city have changed a few waves. A normal archer can shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row before the end is over, and no more arms can bear it. At this time, the value of monks is reflected. The monks who shoot arrows are not so easy to get tired, and the monks who are shot are not so easy to be injured.
The filling of the trench lasted for half a day. Thanks to the large number of officers and soldiers and sufficient preparations, the trench was almost filled. So the soldiers in front withdrew.
The big formation sent out a second phalanx, and they pushed the siege vehicles, nest cars, boxcars, and those carrying the ladders, and began to run at full speed. The soldiers rushed across the ditch holding their shields, put the ladder up the city wall against the rain of arrows, and pushed the nest cart onto the city wall.
With a horizontal knife in his mouth and a round shield in his mouth, the soldier began to climb the ladder with rocks and logs in his mouth. The wooden boards stretched out from the nest cart and were placed on the city wall. Groups of soldiers rushed out. There were also archers in the nest cart, facing the city wall. shoot.
When the battle progressed to this point, it was the process of ants attaching. It was the most bloody and cruel, and the casualties multiplied. It was also when the monks showed their skills. It was much easier for them to climb the city wall than ordinary soldiers.
...
On the first day, Caizhou's soldiers went to battle, but there was nothing to report.
On the second day, the Pinglu Army and the Zhongwu Army fought one after another.
After the army took over the city, groups of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out of the army formation. Jumping up, he went up to the top of the city, slashed with a long knife, and in the flash of white light, the Dengzhou soldiers in front of him fell down one by one.
The generals and monks of Dengzhou were dispatched one after another to meet these official monks, and each of them caught and killed each other.
The city was caught in a melee, like a pot of boiling water, soldiers and monks from both sides were fighting everywhere.
The Dengzhou soldier who appeared in front of Shangguan Qingcheng was a first-level qi practitioner with a knife. He rushed over and swung the long knife in his hand to practice. The nearby Pinglu army soldiers were either dead or injured. He cleared a clearing.
When he saw Shangguan Qingcheng, who was holding a silver gun upside down, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light, and his ferocious smile was full of murderous intent.
"Kid, die to me!" The qi trainer quickly rushed towards him, mobilized his spiritual energy, and slashed down with all his strength. In his mind, the image of Shangguan Qingcheng's body being separated has already emerged.
Then he saw the silver-armored general in front of him move, it seemed to move, because in a trance, the figure of the other party was a little blurred, which made him feel strange, he is a qi trainer, in the eyes of a qi trainer , There shouldn't be times when the other party's figure is blurred.
But before the qi trainer could figure out why, he felt a pain in his chest, and his limbs became extremely stiff immediately. The long knife he raised could no longer be lowered. Disappeared cleanly.
Lowering his head in astonishment, the qi trainer opened his eyes wide. He saw in disbelief that a silver spear had pierced his chest!
In an instant, he finally realized that the blurred figure of the other party just now was because the other party approached instantly, and because the speed was too fast, he suddenly disappeared in place and suddenly appeared in front of him, so he had the illusion of a blurry figure!
"You... a master!" The qi practitioner's eyes were full of fear, and he looked at Shangguan Qingcheng with a calm expression and deep eyes in front of him, barely finishing these words, and he fell down.
Withdrawing his silver spear, Shangguan Qingcheng didn't stay where he was, and ran to the next opponent.
Not far in front of him, a monk on the second level of Qi training in the Dengzhou Army was cutting off the arm of a small Pinglu Army junior with a single knife, and slashed at his neck.
That little Pinglu Army junior who practiced Qi at the first level showed horror in his eyes. He retreated again and again, his back stuck to the city wall, and finally had no way to retreat. He was about to be chopped down by the knife. His eyes were full of despair.
Shangguan Qingcheng arrived in time, picked up his silver spear, parried the qi trainer's long knife, grabbed Xiaoxiao, dragged him behind him, and handed it to the comrade behind him, pointed the silver gun directly at the qi trainer's face.
"Dare to block your grandpa's way, court death!" The qi practitioner was furious, raised his saber, and slashed at Shangguan Qingcheng.
The fluctuating spiritual energy carried a strong wind in an instant, and it blew Shangguan Qingcheng's battle robe before he faced him. The power should not be underestimated.
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes were calm, he snatched out Rulong, and crashed into the ponytail. The ponytail, which was still extremely powerful just now, dissipated after touching his long spear, while the silver spear went straight to the opponent's throat!
The qi practitioner was shocked, and quickly returned the knife to protect his throat. In an instant, the swords and guns intersected, and the impact sound was clear and sweet.
The qi practitioner thought that his defense was foolproof, but he didn't expect that the long knife would be bounced off as soon as it touched the silver gun. The powerful aura from the silver gun made his arm numb, as if being pricked by a needle, which made him terrified. Knowing that he had encountered a strong enemy, he quickly withdrew and retreated.
It's too late.
Shangguan Qingcheng rushed forward, and the silver spear advanced again, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters. The qi practitioner didn't have a long knife to protect his throat, and the empty door opened wide. No matter how he dodged, he still couldn't escape the fate of being bitten in the neck by the silver spear.
"Ah!" The qi practitioner screamed, already extremely horrified, but his screams stopped abruptly, because Shangguan Qingcheng's silver spear moved back around his neck, killing half of his neck. rip!
The qi practitioner collapsed powerlessly, Shangguan Qingcheng passed by him, and the surrounding soldiers of the Pinglu Army chopped him to death with knives. Before dying, the qi practitioner was still terrified: "It's so thick! strength..."
With the monks opening the way, they seized the territory at the top of the city and covered the officers and soldiers on the ladder to climb the city. The officers and soldiers attacked quickly, and soon some elite soldiers jumped over the female wall one after another and killed in front of the defenders of Dengzhou City.
In front of Shangguan Qingcheng, a battle formation of the Dengzhou Army was rushing over. A dozen or so soldiers were holding shields and holding knives. All of them were tall and big, like hills, giving people a great deterrent.
They didn't know how many layers of armor they were wearing. The knives and guns in the hands of the officers and soldiers finally broke through the shields and found a gap to stab them, but they couldn't break through the armor and couldn't hurt them at all. The knives and axes in their hands were powerful and heavy , The backhand will kill the officers and soldiers.
Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at those soldiers of the Dengzhou Army, and he knew that they were the absolute elites in the army. Although they were not monks, they were also the best warriors among mortals. Except that they were unable to use their spirit energy because they were unable to use their aura, they were not much inferior to warriors in a full blow. .
In the military formation, such elites are the sharp knives that break through the enemy's formation. They have a special name, which is called "battlers". The so-called fighters in the battle, breaking the army and trapping the battle, tearing the enemy's battle and destroying the city and pulling out the stronghold, it is always disadvantageous, and it is the trump card in the general's hand.
