Chapter 1232: Confrontation
Under the nervous gaze of the Qin army on the city, the Ming soldiers came out in rows of overwhelming crowds, and the one who walked in front was the shield soldiers. The one with a high body of one man almost covered the entire body of the soldiers behind. The soldiers behind the shield soldiers held engineer shovels in their hands. Later, they were fully armed combat soldiers, with horse hooves on both sides. Teams of roaming roaming on both sides.
The Ming army advanced towards Yongdu as if no one was around, and quickly passed the first obstacle area. With the sound of banging bang, shields were erected one by one to form a shield wall. The soldiers holding engineer shovels behind them began to wield the sharp shovels in their hands frantically and began to destroy the obstacles.
The trench was filled, the traps were found out and destroyed one by one. The antlers and horses were easily split into piles of debris by these soldiers, and then turned into part of the material for filling the trench.
The Ming army's work efficiency is quite high. Obviously, these guys are training these guys. Wang Xiong above the city wall took a breath. Ming Jun was so luxurious. Seeing the engineers' shovels effortlessly chopping the bars of the bowl, they were all made of fine steel. He was so stunned that he had just filled the square plates of about twenty meters.
"Catting machine! Hit me!" He said sternly. At this distance, feather arrows cannot play a role, and the powerful crossbow is too precious. It is obviously a waste of talent to deal with these scattered soldiers. The catapult is the most suitable. It is within the range of attack, and there is too much stone in the city. To deal with these infantry, there is no need for a stone bullet that has entered the scriptures.
The large number of gravels are tied together with net bags and thrown out with a trencher. The net bags flying in the air cannot withstand this force and break, and the gravels inside will fly out in all directions.
It has limited lethality and can kill a person with one blow, but it is enough to hurt someone.
The shield wall under the city instantly dispersed, and shields were raised one by one, and countless black flowers bloomed on the ground instantly. Gravel hit the shield surface, and there were a burst of noises. Under the protection of the shield, the soldiers who wielded the engineer shovel did not slow down at all, and were still striving forward with great efforts.
Instead of looking up at the sky, they handed over their safety to the soldiers holding shields.
The attack was not effective. Wang Xiong looked below and at most dozens of soldiers were covered in blood and retreated to the Ming army's main formation, with only a few of them being carried away.
"The catapult continues to attack." Wang Xiong turned his head and looked at a general beside him, "Wancai, I'll give you two thousand people to go out of the city to fight."
The strong Wancai turned around and walked down the city without saying a word. A team had already gathered under the city. Naturally, these people were not the Thunder Army, but the earliest young and strong recruits. After several months of training, they had at least understood some basic military formations to cooperate.
The city gate opened with a bang, and a huge suspension bridge fell. Two thousand Qin troops rushed out of the city, shouting and crossing the suspension bridge, rushing through the obstacle area, and rushing towards the Ming army that was filling the obstacle.
At the same time, the attack intensity of the catapult suddenly increased. This time it was no longer just gravel, but there were also many real stone bombs inside. The target was between the main formation of the Ming army after the obstacle area.
What Wang Xiong wanted was to separate the Ming army's main formation from the assault Ming army in front, and what he wanted was to annihilate the Ming army in front. These should be the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army, and their combat effectiveness was not as strong as there.
Under the Ming army's central army, the wild dog tilted his head and looked at the Qin army rushing out of the city, and laughed and said, "There are rules and regulations, but we can't underestimate it."
The deputy general beside him immediately sneered: "But he made a mistake. There is no official soldier and auxiliary soldier in our Canglang Camp. He thought he would pick up a bargain and would immediately see what kind of iron plate he was kicking."
The Ming army began to move slowly forward, and advanced to the area where the opponent's catapult attacked, and stopped again. The Ming army's thunder fire speed was fast and powerful, but it sacrificed a certain range. It could not hit the city at this distance. However, the catapult fire speed in the city was too slow, which was an opportunity for them to take advantage of. Taking advantage of the gap between each launch, the Ming army's thunder fire quickly penetrated into the position.
Wang Xiong on the city watched the huge black guys moving quickly, and his heart suddenly felt aroused. It was the Ming army's thunder fire. They had long heard of the power of this thing.
"Change the stone bullets, aim at the thunder fires, and ruin them for me." He roared.
The addition of these thunderbolt fires attracted the shooting targets of the catapults in the city, greatly reducing the effect of covering the battlefield on the city walls. Teams of soldiers from the Canglang Camp rushed out immediately, like agile apes, crossing this area and running towards their comrades in front.
When the city gate opened and the Qin army rushed out, the Ming army's shield soldiers gathered together again, and shields crashed into the ground one by one. Several iron sticks protruding under the shield pierced deeply into the soil. Behind them, the soldiers who were originally waving engineer shovels also quickly lined up to gather in the shield soldiers at this time. They did not bring other weapons, but the engineer shovels in their hands were their weapon.
The Qin army, which was rushing like a tide, suddenly hit the shield formation.
The loud bang sounded loudly, and the shield formation was shaking, as if it could disperse at any time, but it always insisted tenaciously in the expectant gaze of Qin army. Instead, a long spear that poked out from behind the shield and poked the Qin army who had pounced before the shield to the ground.
The Qin army thought that the Ming army auxiliary soldiers holding shovels would shrink to defend, but to their surprise, those people actually held shovels and jumped out from behind the shield when the first wave of attacks did not break the shield formation.
The sharp engineer shovels were like big knives. They could easily cut off the spears and spears in the hands of the Qin army and effortlessly break the simple leather armor on the Qin army.
Since its founding, Canglang Camp has been known for its crazy attacks. Every army will be closely related to the character of its chief general. In the wild dog's mind, there is never a concept of detour or retreat. He always moves forward and forward again. In the Canglang Camp, even a chef must receive strict military training. In the wild dog's words, even if you only have a spatula in your hand, you must be able to wield the spatula to fight the enemy.
After the Wild Dog was promoted to the General of the Central Army, the successor general immediately came, and the same character as the Wild Dog, and whatever soldiers they would bring. Every soldier in the Canglang Camp was full of the most primitive aggression in his bones.
Wang Xiong, above the city, looked at a Ming army waving shovels in shock, and actually killed his subordinates. In a blink of an eye, the two thousand people who left the city were divided into several unconnected teams, and the Ming soldiers who fought against them would not have more than five hundred people with shovels and shields.
After the Qin army formation was cut, the shield soldiers gave up the shields in their hands, held big swords and joined the battle ranks.
These people are more fierce than shovel soldiers. After all, the large iron shield weighing forty or fifty pounds is lifted and easily wandered on the battlefield. It is definitely not possible to do without a single handful of strength.
At this time, there was no big shield, and the big sword in their hands was like a light toy.
The big swords of all soldiers in Canglang Camp adhere to the tradition of the Old Death Camp. The blade is three feet long and the handle is one and a half feet long. Holding the knife in both hands, there are only two tactical actions: chopping and grid.
The Ming army reinforcements in the distance were approaching. Under the blow of rainy gravel, they were still quickly approaching the battlefield. Wang Xiong's hand was clattering. When the supportive Ming army arrived at the battlefield, the two thousand people who left the city were afraid that none of them would return to the city.
"Arrow ready." He gritted his teeth.
"General!" A tooth general beside him looked at Wang Xiong in shock, "Our people are now strangled with them."
After the battlements, strong bows were silently pulled apart, but the targets were the soldiers on both sides who were fighting each other.
Wang Hou stared at the battlefield and came. The Ming soldiers who supported them finally entered the battlefield. At this moment, his army could no longer support him and was gradually compressed to a little. The Ming army was also concentrated on the surrounded Qin army at this moment.
"Cover and shoot!" Wang Hou punched heavily on the battlements. With his order, thousands of archers appeared on the top of the city. With the buzzing sound, feather arrows shot towards the stalemate battlefield under the city like rain.
On the battlefield, people immediately turned over and over, regardless of the enemy, and both armies were attacked by locust-like feather arrows at the same time.
Just as thousands of archers stood up, the arms of several thunderbolt fires were raised in the distance of the battlefield. They might just want to attack the city, but what they never expected was that thousands of archers appeared at this time. This became an unexpected joy.
Each thunderbolt fire has eight arms, and at this time the arms are not stone bombs, but iron bombs that are burning red. The iron bombs fly in the air. When the wind blows, they immediately turn into burning fireballs, some of which hit the city walls and fall without success, but most of them fall on the city walls.
A raging fire immediately ignited on the city. What was even more terrifying than the fire was that these iron bombs fell on the ground and jumped wildly on the ground. The solid stone walls of Yongdu City made them jump even more happily. Wherever they passed, they screamed in pain. Some fireballs even rolled out hundreds of meters above the city. Then they finally lost their kinetic energy and stopped.
The city was in chaos, and the city was in chaos at this time. The attacks of both sides were not distinguished from each other, causing great losses. The two thousand Qin troops were only a few hundred people left, turning around and running towards the suspension bridge, while behind them, the Ming army was chasing them.
Although he was hit by the same blow, the Ming army's excellent Kaijia played a huge role at this time, and many were injured, but fewer people died on the spot than the Qin army. Some were still yelling to chase the escaped Qin army.
The suspension bridge is slowly pulling up, and the city gate is gradually closing.
Wan Cai, who was running in the front, jumped up and grabbed a corner of the suspension bridge that had risen to mid-air. A engineer shovel flew over with the sound of the wind, and inserted it beside him with a snatch, almost hitting his back.
Chapter completed!
