"General, it's five hundred steps!" As the school official glanced at the Jingxiang siege soldiers who were rushing towards him, he calmed down a little, estimated that the data was found and reported to Wang Cheng.
"It's almost done, hey, it's already in range." Wang Cheng waved his hand indifferently: "Telection, crossbowman, look up to the sky, cross-shooting."
"Here." The messenger waved the flag in his hand and passed Wang Cheng's order out.
The Jiangxia army on the city tower walked back and forth, and the horizontal waves scattered, then formed three rows of crossing, mounted arrows and crossed, and turned to the sky.
"Swish swish swish!"
The buzzing sound of machinery resounded in the blue sky, and arrows were thrusting down like rain.
The front army of Jingxiang troops who had been sprinting just now rushed in before they could run a few steps, screaming endlessly, and hundreds of soldiers were already falling in pools of blood.
Among these soldiers, they came with siege vanguards and ladders. They didn't expect that before they could lay the ladders on the side of the city wall, they fell down one after another. The crossbow arrows like rain came down, and the chargers of ladders stopped one after another.
, but two rounds of shooting, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu's two soldiers were afraid of moving forward. The two did not expect that within three hundred steps, the power of the crossbow arrow was so powerful that it was far from comparable to ordinary archers.
Liu Biao and others behind saw the death warriors in front of him were afraid, but their eyes were so anxious that they red. They grabbed the horse whip and pointed at the front and cursed: "Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, you are a pig's brain."
, rush into the arrow rain circle?"
Liu Biao was cursing, even though Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu were two hundred steps away, they could see Liu Biao's anger. The first wave of arrows just came down, and such a long distance made the two stunned.
He was even more shocked. He was about to send an order to send an emergency shield soldiers to cover it, but unfortunately it was too late. With a rapid drum sound, the second wave of arrows poured down from Jiangxia City.
The first wave of siege was frustrated.
Chen Sheng was shot out in a sudden attack, and Zhang Hu's troops were shot down. The screams of the soldiers who were shot in the arrow made people's eardrums hurt.
Zhang Hu was so angry that he smoked his orifices. He waved his horse whip and roared: "Don't retreat, others squeeze in, pay attention to the queue!"
Chen Sheng also helped command: "Rise the shield, raise the shield, form a round formation to defend."
"Stay around first!"
The drums were loudly heard around the two. Liu Biao and Jingzhou Army were well trained. Hearing the drums, the soldiers raised their shields high above their heads, gathered together, forming a dense turtle array and dense long arrows.
Shooting on the shield, the sound of thudding sounds like knocking on the soldiers' hearts, making people breathless. They ran all the way, and when they got here, they were only a few steps away from reaching the city wall and put the ladder on it.
In these few steps, so many brothers fell down, and it was so hard to rush through.
"Defense in the round formation, the archers stepped forward to suppress, the ladder soldiers were behind, charge at any time!" Zhang Hu waved his long sword, running back and forth in front of the formation like a madman, roaring with all his strength, boosting morale: "The lord is here
Later, if you take the city, the lord will never give it a reward."
"Chen Sheng, please give me a few shouts." Zhang Hu was sweating profusely and shouted in a hoarse voice: "My voice is hoarse."
"Brothers, kill me!"
Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu are ready to attack with all their strength.
The soldiers of the Jingxiang Army, who were so panicked by the dense crossbow arrow formations of Jiangxia Army, suddenly heard Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's shouts and effective military formations, and their morale suddenly slowed down. The Jiangxia Army had crossbow arrows, and they also had bows and arrows.
Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers holding a shield in front, the archer behind him immediately drew out the bow and arrow, listened to the drum beats, and began to fight back frantically.
The whistling long arrows met in the air, intertwined in an instant, and plunged into the opponent's camp. Although the bow and arrow formation of the soldiers of the Jingxiang Army was not as dense as that of the Jiangxia Army, the counterattack arrow formation brought the soldiers.
They brought confidence, brought courage, and dispelled the fear in their hearts. They came to their senses, held the weapons in their hands, and began to yell...
"Kill--" The drum kept beating.
"Shoot the arrow!" Both sides ordered their soldiers to run in their respective formations.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
On the city tower, Wang Cheng frowned slightly. The soldiers of Jing Xiang Army came back to their senses so quickly from the panic, which really surprised him. The victory before, which slapped Liu Biao's tax atmosphere, did not seem to mean that
,The Jingxiang soldiers under Liu Biao are all incompetent. It seems that they are just generals with high martial arts skills, which makes me lucky to win the battle. If I were really under the city tower, I would definitely not be Liu Biao's number.
The opponent of the Wanban cavalry is lucky! Liu Biao fought with him. Otherwise, he would be too reckless and needed to learn from him.
However, although Wang Cheng frowned, he was not worried that he could not stand the siege.
Under the city tower, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu looked a little bad. Although the archers were covered by swords and shield soldiers, they were still much different from the crossbows and archers in Jiangxia County on the city wall. If you continue shooting like this, your losses will be greater.
It seems that it is impossible to suppress them when they are coming.
"Shoot two more rounds and order the ladder soldiers to prepare for charge." Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng gritted their teeth, drew their swords and yelled.
"Here." The school beside him immediately sent an order.
Hundreds of ladder soldiers divided into two rows and began to assemble two hundred steps away. After two rounds of archers in front, the archers gave up the battlefield on the front. After the sword and shield soldiers were attracted to them, they began to exert force and resisted.
The ladder rushed towards the city wall, and smoke and dust rose.
This time, the Jingxiang soldiers were prepared and their formation was much more stable than they had just arrived. Finally, they rushed under the city wall, set up a ladder, and began to climb up.
"Roll the wood! Thunderstone!"
Wang Cheng knew the change of the battlefield and immediately responded to the changes. He shouted loudly: "Rise the long bamboo pole, go forward, and push it to the ladder--"
The crossbow archer in front scattered a gap with a loud bang. A famous swordsman put the machete on his head, holding up the long bamboo lever, lined up in dense rows, holding the ladder at the entrance of the city wall,
He picked and pushed, and immediately fell down the ladder.
"ah!"
"ah!!!"
A Jingxiang soldier had a slap with bones, and his internal organs were bleeding from falling. He died on the spot. Even if he had a breath, he was trampled to death by his brothers behind him.
However, Jing Xiang, like an ant, came one after another, and the ladder pushed to it, soldiers followed and raised them again, put them on the city wall, fell back and forth, and raised them up, and a Jing Xiang soldier gave his own home.
After his life, subsequent soldiers finally jumped onto the city wall by chance.
Then they went up one by one, but the number was still too small. The two sides fought together. Under the gap in number, the soldiers of Jingxiang who climbed the city wall were like moths flying into the fire. Often a soldier held a knife and wanted to follow
He killed more than five to six Jiangxia soldiers, but in just a few rounds, he fell into a pool of blood.
The war continued. The first siege launched by Liu Biao lasted for the whole morning. Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu and 8,000 people all pressed on them, but the Jiangxia wall was still like
No matter how many people go up, they are not shot to death by crossbow arrows. Even if they climb up the city wall, they still cannot resist Wang Cheng's strict command and defense.
I could only watch my subordinates die one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one will fall to death, and one's limbs are broken, so cruel, this is the battlefield of blood and fire, and ordinary people will sleep for the rest of their lives after seeing it.
No more awakening.
In the end, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu saw that their subordinates were almost fighting for nothing. They felt really distressed and could not get out of the way. After discussing, they dropped their horse's head and ran behind them, and only had a few Mercedes-Benz.
Then he said to Liu Biao.
In addition to commanding the general to pay attention to the city at all times, Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, cannot be slackened. He stared at the battlefield and the details of the entire siege battle, so that it is easy to be truly
Understand the strength of Jiangxia Army...
Obviously, Jiang Xiajun's training and strength are actually much stronger than his own.
"Lord! Brothers have suffered a lot. I will ask the Lord to punish me!" As soon as Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu arrived in front of Liu Biao, they said, the implication was that they hoped to withdraw their troops and fight again in the future.
Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu were heartbroken by their subordinates, and Liu Biao naturally felt sorry for them. The soldiers were just his soldiers. Seeing the soldiers falling down and dying, he was even more anxious. These were all his future.
Based in the world, realize the foundation of Guangwu’s dream of reviving Guangwu.
"It seems that I can't get the city wall today." Liu Biao felt distressed, waved his hand, and said to the two of them: "Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!"
Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu listened and immediately replied gratefully: "Here!"
Dingding! Dingding! The sound of knocking sounded and spread to the ears of Jingxiang soldiers who were dying towards the city wall in front of him. They had been fighting at this station for a whole morning, and everyone was tired, and there was no order to withdraw. Everyone
My nerves were so broken that I didn't dare to relax, and I was afraid that if I accidentally became a companion around me, I would become a corpse.
However, the ding-tone sound made all the soldiers of Jingxiang relax and could escape backwards. All the fighting spirit disappeared, and brothers, retreated all their minds.
Unfortunately, the more relaxed he was, the closer he was to death, the closer he was to him. Sure enough, Wang Cheng immediately led his men to kill the fleeing Jingxiang soldiers, and the crossbow arrows were even cross-shooting, and for a moment, they were aimed at the formation.
The soldiers of Jingxiang who escaped were one-third of them dead on their way to escape.
During the first siege, Liu Biao had a deeper understanding of the strength of Wang Cheng and Jiang Xia army. It was difficult to crack. This was what Liu Biao felt.
However, the army and horses had reached this time. Liu Biao wanted to retreat, but he couldn't bear to lose his troops and generals. This was the real Liu Biao. In history, he was smooth sailing and he was arbitrary. He was in a difficult situation and looked forward to the future.
, care about temporary gains and losses.
However, his army and horses were still there and still had the advantage, which made the war between the two sides suddenly become a stalemate.
