"Li Sheng, go and go out of the city to fight!" Yang Ding said decisively.
His good brother, Yang Bi, who finally failed to get a chance to play, stayed by his brother's side.
He was submissive and didn't even dare to say a word.
This time I couldn't help it.
"Challenge out of town?"
"That's not necessary!"
Didn’t it say there were only five thousand troops?
According to the general tactical coordination, five thousand people would not be able to shake Nanyang City at all, let alone compete with the defenders in Nanyang City. It is extremely difficult for the Jin army to deal with the cavalry teams that are currently out of the city to challenge.
Isn't it good for these brothers to just sit on the tower and wait for work?
"What do you know?"
"It is precisely because they have few manpower that we have to give them a head-on attack to make them understand how powerful we are and never dare to attack again."
"If there were many of them, do you think I would still open the city gate?" Yang Ding said eloquently, and Yang Bi realized that his eldest brother was also a person who specializes in picking out weak persimmons.
Tsk tsk...
That's it, it's not much better than him!
Yang Bi suddenly gained confidence again, and when he came to his mouth with some words of advice, he turned back again when he saw Yang Ding's confident expression.
Suffering defeat and making a fool of yourself is not just Yang Bi's monopoly. Brother Qinqin also wants to try it.
Bang bang!
jump jump jump!
"What kind of battle is this?"
"The monster is out?"
Look, look, anyone who sees this battle will think that there are monsters helping the Jin army.
Yang Ding couldn't sit still, and under the protection of the shield, he ran to the edge of the city wall to watch the battle.
In front of him, the Jin army's formation looked fine at first glance. The cavalry was in front of them, followed by the infantry in the rear.
And these infantrymen all waded in from the white water, and many of them were still dripping with water!
However, in this seemingly ordinary battle formation, a shower of arrows flew across, causing the offensive from the Di and Qin soldiers on the city tower to finally weaken a bit.
At this moment, from behind the cavalry, a small group of warriors whose equipment looked no different from ordinary cavalry suddenly jumped out!
They rode faster and faster, and soon overtook the cavalry and rushed to the front.
There were loud noises on the battlefield. At first, these noises really startled General Shang, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
However, after all, ginger is still spicy, and he soon adjusted.
"These people are not monsters!"
"What they hold in their hands are weapons!"
Yang Ding stood on the city tower, standing high and seeing far away. He found that every time before the smoke started to rise, the Jin soldiers on horseback would raise what looked like an iron pipe-like weapon towards the target.
Yang Ding judged that they must also be shooting out some hidden weapons, but he couldn't see clearly what those weapons were.
These are all minor. The most important thing is that this weapon does have divine power.
There was a loud noise, and the smoke evaporated into clouds. The Di and Qin soldiers who blocked the Jin army, especially the cavalry, were hit one after another and fell to the ground.
Not one, not two or three!
But piece by piece!
What's even more frightening is that this group of soldiers with strange weapons cooperated with the cavalry in a tacit understanding. It was quite difficult to defeat them.
These strange soldiers seem to attack at a very small point, and their movements are not large. How do you describe that feeling?
Whether you are wielding a knife or shooting an arrow, you need to cooperate with both hands, and the movements are wide and open. You can easily catch what weapon hurt you.
However, these strange Jin troops were not like that at all.
It is true that they can attack with the cooperation of both hands, but it is really unclear how to operate it.
no!
You must find an opportunity to see clearly what weapons they are holding!
Yang Ding suddenly had a premonition that if that kind of weapon was allowed to develop and become popular, it would be a disaster for Di Qin and even the Wuhu species in the entire north!
"Li Sheng!"
"Be careful to attack those Jin troops holding iron pipe weapons!"
"The smoke is all caused by them!"
The city gate opened, and Li Sheng led the soldiers out of the city. Yang Ding hurriedly gave a few instructions on the city tower. I don't know how much Li Sheng heard, but no matter what, as long as these strange soldiers could be killed, they would also
This battle can be considered won.
This is Yang Ding’s strategy!
Of course, it is also the most convenient method. After all, there are more than 20,000 defenders in Nanyang City, and they are all real combat power.
The Jin army in front of them was no different from the information previously explored, only about 5,000 people.
Even in a wheel battle, the Jin army can be wiped out.
Count the number of people!
I'm not afraid of you!
…………
"Wild King, the Qin army has rushed out!"
"You guys retreat quickly, I'll take the armored soldiers up!"
The gate of Nanyang City had just opened a crack, and Liu Yu had already discovered Di Qin's movements.
As soon as the two of them joined together, Huan Yi led the pistol team to turn around and turn back.
As the saying goes, once reborn, twice familiar, after experiencing Yang Bi's defeat, the soldiers under Yang Ding's command were probably somewhat prepared for the foggy and cloudy situation created by the pistol.
Before Li Sheng led his troops out of the city, there were already one or two thousand Di Qin soldiers on the battlefield. These were infantry who had left the city early and planned to attack the Jin navy.
This wave of troops had been defeated by a series of pistol shots and fled in all directions. The pistol team, which was small in number and did not have enough gunpowder, had completed their role of assault and intimidation and could retire successfully.
The next battlefield will be left to Liu Yu to control.
Liu Yu stepped forward, using the traditional fighting method of infantry and cavalry coordination, which Liu Yu was always good at. However, Huan Yi would not put the entire burden on his shoulders.
Ever since the battle at Xiangyang, Huan Yi had made up his mind. From now on, with him, there would be no distinction or barrier between Jingzhou soldiers and Beifu soldiers.
All the armies belong to the Jin Dynasty. They compete for territory and attack cities and villages, all for the sake of the imperial court.
Although at present, the court they serve is not very satisfactory, Huan Yi knows very well that in order to establish a satisfactory court, he must gather all the forces within the Jin Dynasty and unite with the outside world.
We need to put aside our prejudices and unite as one.
Not to mention, the person he was going to protect under Nanyang City was none other than his good brother Liu Yu.
Liu Yu rode forward and saw from a distance that the number of Qin soldiers who came out of the city to challenge was not particularly large, only about two thousand.
It was immediately judged that the Qin soldiers were also testing the situation and did not intend to directly defeat the Jin army with their huge strength advantage.
The Qin army's approach of retaining its strength gave Liu Yu an opportunity.
Although they are few in number, they are well-equipped!
The soldiers and horses on both sides stopped about a mile away. Liu Yu seemed to be able to see the armor on the chest of Di Qin's general, the man named Li Sheng, rising and falling rhythmically.
Gu Qin
Breathing heavily, they were not in a hurry to charge, they still needed to observe the opponent's morale for a while.
"Unexpectedly, the morale of the Jin army is very high!" Li Sheng did not regard the strong man with a square head, a big face, and fierce eyes in the middle of the Jin army's battle formation as a meal.
In his opinion, the morale of the Jin army who had captured several cities in Di and Qin after several battles should indeed be high, but similarly, from Xiangyang to Xinye, and then from Xinye to the foot of Nanyang City, the Jin army in several cities
The army is almost all the same group of people.
This group of people must be very tired after fighting tough battles in a short period of time.
However, looking at these strong men in front of them, they all have bright eyes, their faces are rosy and white, and they don't show any signs of fatigue.
No way!
Didn't they come all the way from Xinye City?
You haven't rested for a long time, why are you still so energetic?
A trace of surprise flashed through Li Sheng's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
No matter what, just rush and kill!
Bang!
A loud noise rose into the sky, and with Liu Yu's slogan, a huge boulder rose up from behind the Jin army!
According to the distance measured early in the morning, a huge boulder just passed the Jin army's battle formation and hit the Qin army on the head!
"I go!"
"These Jin people are so cunning!"
"He even brought a catapult!" Li Sheng said angrily.
I wanted to get off to a good start, but I didn't expect that I didn't get a good start, but I did get a lot of success.
Why do you think this stone cannon is so cooperative?
As if he had eyes, he hit the Di-Qin battle formation behind Li Sheng. When the boulder hit the ground, a large crater suddenly appeared.
Neither close nor far.
hehe……
Do you think we can’t have catapults because we have few people?
You look down on people too much!
As the saying goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Although our team has a small number of people, our equipment is the most complete and luxurious.
We have weapons that other armies have, and we also have weapons that other armies have never seen before.
Large, medium and small, all available.
This catapult is naturally stocked in Xinye City. The reason why it can be transported in the same way is because there are building ships to help.
Catapults are heavy. Generally speaking, they can only be used by troops stationed in the city. They are not suitable for long-distance transportation.
But it's different with the building boat.
Although large ships are big and slow in movement, they are definitely not a hindrance in water battles. Many large ordnances rely on large ships for transportation.
These include catapults and giant crossbows used for sieges.
The Jin army's catapults were extremely accurate and did not disturb the people in Nanyang County at all.
Only the loud noises made the people tremble.
"Is this...the Jin army coming?"
"The Jin army came to capture the city?"
Yang Ding and the others were busy dealing with the Jin army outside the city, and they really had no time to pay attention to the people in the city. The people took to the streets one after another, from the arrows that kept shooting, the sounds that were sometimes loud and sometimes small, and
With the sounds of fighting, they felt the fierce fighting outside the city.
"I'll get the food out!"
"We can't keep it in the cellar anymore, we have to hand it all over to the Jin army!"
The people rummaged through the boxes and cabinets one after another and took out all the food and valuables that had been secretly hidden everywhere.
As long as it can be handed over to the Jin army without them grabbing it, the people will send it to them themselves.
The gap between closeness and distance is so huge.
"Bros!"
"Fire the arrow!" Liu Yu shouted, and the Jin army instantly turned their disadvantage into an advantage and charged towards the Qin army first.
"not good!"
"The battle formation is going to be in chaos!"
"Stay still, you must stay still!" Yang Ding screamed anxiously on the tower, but the situation was such that he could not jump down to exchange with Li Sheng.
Furthermore, there is no life on his tower.
The soldiers of the Jin army were mainly composed of Jingzhou soldiers. Compared with the Beifu soldiers, their archery skills were better. As long as they were commanded properly, in other words, if the general was brave and resourceful, the combat effectiveness of these Jingzhou soldiers could soar.
Before worrying about Li Sheng, you should worry about yourself first!
Under the leadership of Liu Yu, the cavalry galloped out. Among the people, the fastest and fiercest one was naturally Liu Yu.
"Let's go!"
"Come and accept your fate!"
Others attacked enemies on the plane, but General Liu was different. After breaking out of the siege, the first thing he saw was a group of people gathered on the tower.
No matter who it is, it must be in charge!
It's the general!
If there are jujubes or not, hit him three times first!
The shield array was well protected around Yang Ding and Yang Bi. Generally speaking, even if Liu Yu was a master archer, he would be powerless in the face of such strict protection.
However, manpower is sometimes exhausted, but God's power is unpredictable.
The sound of gun blasts rang out in the sky, and several boulders hit the Nanyang City. Under repeated frights, even the Bodhisattva could not sit still, let alone the mortal Yang Ding.
They rushed to the corner tower to observe the situation, and were caught by Liu Yu.
It is better to rush in early than to rush in time. Liu Yu grabbed the longbow and shot an arrow!
With a whoosh, the Feather Arrow shot out of the air and roared straight towards the target!
In other words, General Liu can be regarded as the number one general in Beifu today. In the chaos, Liu Yu was able to deal with it calmly and choose the most accurate weapons, which has to be said to be commendable.
Liu Yu is not without a gun, and compared to other pistol team members, General Liu's gun has not fired a single bullet since he entered the battlefield. It is full of gunpowder and lead bullets, which is sufficient.
Arriving at the foot of Nanyang City, Liu Yu saw the target on the city tower at a glance, but subconsciously, he didn't use anything new like a pistol.
One is that Liu Yu is still not very familiar with this new weapon. He will not use it if he can do it within his ability.
Secondly, based on his experience on the battlefield, Liu Yu judged that at this distance and height, the accuracy of the pistol was inferior to that of the bow and arrow.
Although there is a gap between Liu Yu's estimation and reality, it has to be said that his choice can be regarded as saving his life.
Shooting the enemy on the tower and the enemy rushing out from the tower are completely different concepts. With the current method of operating the pistol, it is more convenient to attack the enemy in parallel directions.
Once the gun is attacked downward or upward, the gunpowder is likely to be spilled when the pistol is raised or depressed, and when ignited, it can easily cause the chamber to explode.
Under the guidance of Liu Yu's cloud-piercing arrow, many soldiers' eyes were drawn by it and they looked upward.
hiss……
"General, danger!"
Before anyone noticed, Liu Yu's sharp arrow penetrated the stagnant air and headed straight for the city tower. The two brothers Yang Ding and Yang Bi were looking down to observe what magic there was about weapons like pistols.
The two of them were so focused that they completely forgot that on this battlefield, the Jin army's weapons were not limited to pistols.
It wasn't until the sharp arrow grazed Yang Bi's shoulder and landed on the stone bricks of the city tower that Yang Bi came to his senses.
