"Three thousand heavy infantry, follow me, heavy shields and spears!"

There was a cold light in Li Yu's beautiful eyes, and he whistled sharply.

Holding a sword in her hand, she jumped out of the city, stood on the wooden frame of the slope, and rushed downwards.

As early as the Wu army was preparing the wooden frame of the slope, three thousand heavy infantry were already standing at the head of Danyang City, ready to wait for call.

The city was too narrow, only one or two meters wide, and there were not many rows of people standing. Apart from the Danyang musketeers, even archers did not go up.

You definitely can't fight on the city wall.

Once a group of Wu army light cavalry rushed to the top of the city, with the powerful impact of the horses, they could be knocked away and knocked down the city wall.

The city is full of dense residential areas, with almost no open space except for the big streets.

To fight, you have to rush out.

You must rush out, go to the wooden frame of the slope, and set up a formation of sufficient thickness to resist the cavalry's charge.

They immediately grabbed a pair of heavy wooden shields and spears, and rushed out with Li Yu.

Li Yu stopped halfway up the wooden slope.

"Stand up the shield!"

"Get on the gun!"

Three thousand heavy infantrymen immediately arranged closely at the middle of the slope wooden frame, with large wooden shields next to each other.

The dense spear was mounted on a wooden frame, with the tip of the spear facing outward and the bottom of the spear was directly inserted into the mud - in this way, even if the enemy hit the spear strongly, it would be blocked by the ground.

They were stacked with layers of five hundred heavy infantry, six rows of lineups. A dense forest of guns pointed at the outside.

The heavy infantry spear shield formation is a powerful weapon to defend against light cavalry. The sixth platoon of heavy infantry spear shield formation is already thick enough.

Li Yu's eyes were extremely calm.

Since the city wall is useless, then fight in field battles. There are ways to restrain cavalry, that is, the gun and shield heavy infantry.

There are 50,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry in Danyang City. They can fight in field battles with the Wu army, but they will suffer a lot of losses in troops.

The cavalry charges completely by the weight and impact of the horse.

Once the war horses start to run, the huge weight of five or six hundred kilograms is enough to knock more than a dozen adults away under high-speed impact.

It will be difficult to impact heavy rifle soldiers.

Light cavalry has weak defense and is extremely expensive. It is the most precious group of troops in the world and rarely forcefully attacks heavy infantry.

Whether it is the Xiongnu light cavalry or the Great Chu light cavalry, they all use sporting, harassing, and pursuing the defeated army as the tactics.

If the light cavalry goes to rush to the heavy rifle soldiers, it is suicide!

"rush--!"

The Wu cavalry general roared.

The 10,000 light cavalry of the Wu army did not stop and ran.

They just went to commit suicide and tried to forcibly rush up to the city of Danyang. They rushed up to the city of Danyang from the wooden frame on the slope. This was the only hope and the only shortcut to break through Danyang City in one fell swoop.

There are towering city walls in other places, which are blocked by horses. It is not easy to climb up by manpower.

Any other tactic will cause the Wu army to suffer even more heavy losses.

The only hope is that the light cavalry breaks through this heavy staircase and spearman and kills a bloody road.

...

"boom!"

"Puff!"

On the wooden frame of the slope, which was five hundred meters wide and more than ten meters long, blood was splashed everywhere. The light cavalrymen were overturned and were pierced by dense spears.

The slope is oblique.

Thousands of spears were almost flat on the wooden shield and pointed at the outside.

All the heavy infantry were under the giant wooden shield.

The cavalry behind couldn't stop and ran into them one after another, which was a terrible sight.

Thousands of war horses and cavalry soldiers were directly pierced by a spear under the impact.

The heavy infantry spear formation was also dispersed by the light cavalry in one breath, and it was almost possible to break through this heavy infantry formation.

But, in the end, I still couldn't rush up.

The horses and Wu army cavalry who were pierced by spears completely blocked the 500-meter-long slope. A messy spear, war horses and soldiers, and barrier belts were formed.

The bodies were hung on the spear, one or two meters high, and the war horses behind them were unable to continue rushing forward.

The heavy infantry hiding under the wooden shield, as long as they could move, came out and waved their swords to chop off the Wu cavalry's war horses and thighs. They killed the nearby light cavalry and retreated one after another.

At this time, the small cannon on the city wall finally filled the ammunition after firing for one round.

"Small steel cannon, five hundred steps ahead, firing a cannon!"

Chu Tianxiu shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the small steel cannon on the top of Danyang City shot a large number of iron projectiles into the sky at an inclined angle.

Rumble!

Hundreds of iron projectiles flew into the Wu army's light cavalry formation outside the slope, and suddenly there were people and horses overturned, and there were neighing fiercely.

Although the cavalry have bows and arrows in their hands, they can fight back.

However, arrows have almost no lethality for heavy armored infantry and heavy armored Danyang soldiers wearing iron armor on the top of the city.

Arrow shooting is only suitable for light infantry without armor and thin armor.

The Wu army's cavalry general, looking at the wooden frame blocked by a piece of corpse, was obviously impossible to rush over. He sighed, left the cavalry corpses all over the ground, pulled out his horse and retreated.

The 40,000 light infantrymen of the Wu army saw that the light cavalry failed to charge, they hesitated for a moment, and quickly retreated, returning three or four miles away, into the main formation of the Wu army.

"King! The last general failed to attack the city, lost 1,500 cavalry and failed to rush to the top of the city. Please punish the king!"

The Wu cavalry general went back, jumped off his horse, knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Are you not a war crime, get up!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu did not punish him, but just looked at the head of Danyang City in silence.

Everything is carried out according to the plan.

Fifty thousand infantrymen set up a slope!

Smoke the fire with soil!

Ten thousand light cavalry launched a lightning-rushing charge!

I originally planned to catch Xiaohunhou off guard.

As long as Danyang's defending army hesitated a little, the weak city wall was forcibly captured by the light cavalry. Tens of thousands of Wu army infantry rushed up along the slope, and Danyang City was directly captured.

However, he did not expect that Li Yu led his troops so bravely, and rushed out of the city wall with three thousand heavy rifle soldiers. He firmly stuck on this slope wooden frame, blocking the charge of the light cavalry and blocking the opening.

The offense was not going well.

This cannot be blamed for the unfavorable combat of the Wu cavalry.

The Wu army lost more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 1,500 light cavalrymen. It is estimated that only a few hundred heavy rifle soldiers died in Danyang City.

In this wave of battle, Wu Jun obviously suffered a great loss.

But this is the case with the siege. The casualties are greater than those of the defending troops, and they have to be filled with their lives.

"Father...you see? How do you fight next?"

Xiang Xian said carefully.

"No hurry!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu looked up at the sun, which was already hanging above his head.

This wave of losses was huge, which suffocated the Wu army's spirit and should not act recklessly. The Wu army pulled out camps from ten miles away and carried huge trees, which also consumed a lot of energy.

He said lightly: "It's noon, I'll build a pot to make rice. Each person has one pound of dry rice, three taels of meat, eat enough to drink enough, and maintain enough momentum and fight again!
