"shoot!"
Although there were only fifty people, they still caused considerable damage despite their condescending position.
They are not scattering aimlessly, but shooting accurately after selecting a target.
Those who are confident in their own archery skills will follow the enemy's face.
People with average archery skills would pick up people in the back row without armor or with only leather armor to shoot.
Screams continued to sound.
The arrows were like strong winds, repeatedly destroying the decaying grass, causing a large area of ​​enemies to fall down, and the killing effect was very impressive.
The enemy is also fighting back.
Shao Xun stood on the wall, while Chen Yougen and Wang Queer held up large shields to cover the left and right sides.
Under the dense arrows, the sound of whistling through the air and the "dongdong" sound of being shot on the shield could be heard in the ears. Chen Yougen was lucky. Wang Que'er, who was weaker, had already taken two steps back unconsciously and raised the shield.
It was very strenuous.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Shao Xun's eyes kept wandering around the crowd. After finding the target, he raised his hand and shot without aiming at all. He relied on his feeling, but his hit rate was very high.
Not to mention the military archery assessment, shooting with raised hands is one of the bonus points. During the training, some people took aim here and there, and Shao Xun scolded him when he went up to him. If he continued to aim like this, he was covered with arrows shot by the enemy.
It's full.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" After raising his hand and shooting, Shao Xun performed another act of opening the bow from left to right, and the arrows flew out, shooting one person down on the spot and knocking off the helmet of another person.
He picked valuable targets, either officers, flag bearers, advocates, or battlefield messengers running around quickly.
Under his operation, the enemy troops soon became sluggish and their formation was somewhat chaotic.
Often after the first group of people carrying simple wooden ladders to climb the wall are repelled, the second group cannot quickly come forward, wasting the gains that the previous group of people had sacrificed their lives for.
But after all, they have a lot of people. After the sword and shield soldiers pay attention to protection, it is not that easy to shoot the officers. What's more, there are only fifty archers on Piyong's side. After each person shot more than a dozen arrows, his arms began to become weak and his strength weakened.
Gradually it loses its support, so the rate of fire becomes slower and the accuracy decreases - in short, the lethality decreases.
After a few more hasty shots, Shao Xun took advantage of the enemy's retreat and ordered them to go down to rest while another group of people who only knew how to use a bow and arrows came up.
At this time, the hand-to-hand combat also reached a fever pitch.
"Kill!" Huang Biao roared angrily and thrust out the spear in his hand like lightning.
"Kill!" The sergeants also thrust out their spears.
Before the enemy who had just emerged could react, he saw several spears coming towards him.
Some people screamed loudly, some fell down, and some people mustered up the courage to rush and hit them fiercely, relying on their thick armor.
For this kind of people, there are people who are specially equipped with wooden poles, halberds, and long-handled axes to greet them. The key point is to take advantage of their unsteady footing and hit them head and face with heavy blunt instruments to kill or injure them, or knock down high walls.
.
This is the advantage of defending the city. In ancient times, there were even veteran warriors who climbed up the city wall and were knocked down by boys and hacked to death by women.
However, Piyong's courtyard wall is not a serious city wall. There are no professional city defense facilities, and many city defense equipment cannot be deployed. However, it is much more difficult. This directly reflects on the battle situation, which means that one's own side suffers a lot of casualties.
After Shao Xun shot arrows for a while, he felt that someone was already staring at him, and his physical strength was also very high, so he decisively picked up a long-handled ax, changed his position, waved his hands, and smashed the people who climbed up.
.
"Death!" The enemy soldier holding the Huanshou sword was wearing heavy armor and his whole body was covered tightly. After stepping on the wall with his legs, he held an impaling spear in his left armpit and swung the sword in his right hand to cut off the spear.
Then he avoided the head of Senhan's spear that was aimed at the door, ran forward, and crashed into the crowd, causing chaos in an instant.
"Poof!" The long-handled ax slashed down diagonally, with extremely powerful force. The enemy soldier was staggered a few steps and fell into the wall from the other end. The resting soldiers swarmed up and killed him with short soldiers.
"Bang!" Shao Xun kept moving, and the long-handled ax struck an enemy soldier who had just climbed up.
This man seemed to have been awarded three layers of armor. He was extremely strong and strong. With his angry eyes, he looked majestic and murderous.
The ax hit him heavily in the face. Before he could even utter a cry, his face changed shape visibly, and with a thud, he fell to the ground on his back against the wall.
This wasn't over yet, another warrior with heavy armor came up from the front left, and behind him, there were two more people wearing leather armor, using their hands and feet together, and jumped onto the wall.
The warrior at the front was already fighting with the defenders. Shao Xun had no time to think and subconsciously struck the two men behind him with an axe.
"Poof!" The sharp ax blade cut through the flesh and removed the person's entire arm. Blood gushed out and sprayed on the other person's face, making him stunned for a moment.
Shao Xun kept moving and quickly took a step forward, withdrew his ax and swept it down the city.
"Ah!" There was also a scream from behind. Shao Xun looked sideways and saw the heavily armored warrior killing one person and wounding another. After Huang Biao cut his throat with a knife, he fell weakly on the city wall.
"Whoosh!" The heavy breathing was clearly audible.
Face-to-face fighting is really grueling, and the test is the courage to see red with a bayonet. In this case, your physical strength will be exhausted faster than usual, which will make you highly nervous and make you - abnormal!
"Kill!" Shao Xun casually used his axe, smashing the helmet of another heavily armored warrior, and quickly kicked the wall down.
Later, he carried the ax and went to another place where the situation was critical to put out the fire.
People are constantly falling around us, and people are constantly coming up to take their place.
After killing and injuring an unknown number of people, Shao Xun had several arrows inserted into his body. The injuries were not serious and could not even penetrate the flesh, but it also showed the intensity of the battle.
Do you want this?
They are just a wing within a wing, but they are playing so excitingly that the lower-level warriors are truly cannon fodder!
****
At the end of the day's battle, the walls were filled with wailing.
Shao Xun took off his armor, and Wang Queer carefully bandaged his wounds.
Mi Huang, Yu Liang, Yang Bao and others gathered around and listened to his words.
"There is no need to panic." Shao Xun frowned and said calmly: "The first three days of the offensive and defensive battle are the most dangerous. After this battle, it will be basically stable."
"Today the enemy selected a lot of elites, wearing heavy armor, hoping to break through the city with one blow, but we were defeated. Not just anyone can be an elite when choosing a vanguard. Once these people are used up, things will be fine.
Done."
"Think about it, how much trouble these elite elites will cause us if we fight in a field battle with the enemy. But now they are easily killed by us relying on the high wall. Isn't it a big profit?"
"Don't worry, the thieves have no plans to capture our place. Meng Chao may still be thinking about going to the east of the city to gain military exploits. We will hold on and never surrender. Seeing that he has nothing to do, he is reluctant to lose his elite soldiers.
, so I retreated.”
"Be alert at night. I will patrol at any time. Anyone who neglects his duties or neglects military affairs has nothing to say and will be executed without mercy."
Shao Xun talked eloquently, with the tone of a chief official, but everyone - including Mi Huang - took it for granted, nodding their heads repeatedly and loudly agreeing.
Even high-ranking disciples like Yu Liang used to criticize people of Shao Xun's status, but now they are honest. Shao Dubo is always putting out fires. He probably killed more than twenty people today. He can be called a god general.
.
Without him, it's hard to say what would have happened to Piyong.
Based on this, no one has the right to discriminate against him - if I really look down on him, I have to keep it in my heart and not express it openly. The whole family is here, so I don't dare to lose my temper.
"What Governor Shao said is right. If we surrender, we won't get any good results. We can only bear it till the end. From today on, whoever dares to surrender can't blame me for being unkind." Seeing Shao Xun finish speaking, Mi Huang was the first.
He expressed his support in a very serious tone.
"Nuo." Not only the governor Yang Bao and several team leaders responded, but also Yu Liang and another young man from the Xu family in the East China Sea also answered.
Shao Xun couldn't help but look at him one more time.
Like the Mi family, the Xu family is also a local noble family in the East China Sea. In terms of his status at this time, it is actually not that high. At least, when he was talking to Yu Liang of the Yingchuan Yu family, he obviously kept a very low profile.
Yu's family is not really a powerful person.
This young man's name is Xu Lang. He is eighteen years old this year. He doesn't know why he came to the capital. Anyway, he took the Mihuang road and ran to Piyong to seek refuge.
I met Shao Xun a few times, but he didn't say much. Even though he was reduced to this state, he was still arrogant.
The legacy of caste society in the Jin Dynasty is not shallow.
Perhaps in Xu Lang's heart, he didn't think Shao Xun was so powerful at all, so I could do it. After all, this was an era when both land and air forces could be commanders of an army of more than 200,000 people. It's not surprising to have this idea.
"In that case, everyone should perform their duties and proceed step by step." Shao Xun nodded, looked at Yu Liang and Yang Bao, and said: "The bandit army is so rabble-rous that they may not have the ability to fight at night, but we must take precautions tonight.
Sorry, you two."
"No." Yu Liang and Yang Bao immediately agreed.
They also understand the general situation.
The Jizhou metropolitan area originally had 40,000 soldiers, but now it has more than 200,000 troops. Most of them are actually farmers farming and do not have much fighting capacity.
In fact, even the soldiers have been corrupted a lot. Otherwise, how can the refugee commanders be allowed to run around as if they were in a deserted land?
Of course, then again, the capabilities of the Piyong garrison are not that great, they are just inferior. Tonight, we must guard carefully and weaken the enemy's morale for a few more days, and it will be almost over.
Shao Xun thought more than them...
