Chapter 661: Snowstorm and Cold Blade (13)

The infantry strengthened their attack, and what they had to cover was naturally the impact of the cavalry on the three siege ramps. The two-pronged approach was bullying the lack of troops in Dubo Village. He Tianju did not expect that the infantry's siege could achieve a breakthrough, but as long as It is enough to be able to contain enough defenders. The more the infantry is restrained, the fewer soldiers will be able to prevent the cavalry from charging the city. Once the cavalry is allowed to gain a foothold on the city, with the speed of the cavalry, in the blink of an eye, they will be defeated. This bridgehead can be expanded without limit.

He Tianju stared at the city head intently. He was amazed by the intensive firepower at the city head. Even though he had seen many battles to attack the city, he had rarely seen such a small city with such an ability to attack. The densely falling stones, He couldn't help but look back at his own large slingshots made of bamboo in the distance. There was no doubt that the opponent had borrowed this thing. Although the power was slightly insufficient, it could break through the large and crude shields in the hands of the Donghu soldiers. .

What troubled him the most was the opponent's crossbow. With its strong force and covering strike range, every salvo would cause huge casualties. The only good thing was that the opponent didn't have enough manpower. Every salvo would only Hundreds of crossbows were fired at the same time. He Tianju could not imagine what kind of effect it would have when thousands of these weapons were fired at the same time.

At this thought, he couldn't help but worry about Yan Qi. In Pioneer City, the defenders could exceed ten thousand people. As long as there were thousands of armed crossbows divided into several rounds of shooting, it would be enough to prevent the attackers from advancing.

The infantry had already arrived at the bottom of the city. Under the cover of the crossbows and arrows on the snow platform, they began to erect ladders and ants attacked the city. On the dozens of ladders, the infantry climbed up like ants, and stone bullets flew away. The crowds were getting denser, and push rods pushed up the ladder one after another, pushing the ladder far away from the city wall. The infantry on the ladder screamed and flew in the air, then fell heavily and climbed higher. Of course, the fall will be worse.

This was lucky. When we faced the infantry with nail bats on the top of the city, their misery was unbearable. The nail bats with sharp long blades were shot back from the wall. The ladder immediately broke, and the soldiers on it were Either he was directly photographed on top of the city wall and turned into a photo, or he was swept off the edge and fell to the bottom of the city, falling half to death. The worst thing was that the long blade of the nail went directly through his body, and he was caught by the city like a nail. When the soldiers pulled him up, the infantry nailed to the long blade was splattered with blood and screamed pitifully, which was heartbreaking to hear.

However, among the central army, the drum beat of the attack was intensive, and there was no intention of retreating. The attacking infantry returned without success again and again, suffering heavy casualties, but they regained their strength again and again, and swarmed up to attack.

Finally, a Donghu soldier climbed up the city wall. Although he was immediately stabbed down by a spear, with such a buffer, two more soldiers climbed up behind him, and they fell down. After that, there were already four or five people standing on the top of the city.

He Tianju's eyes flashed and he looked at the figures running above the city. It must be that the people above the city were mobilizing troops to block the gap. He silently counted ten numbers in his heart. At this time, at that breakthrough point , about twenty soldiers had already crowded forward, and around them, dozens of soldiers from the Eastern Conquest Army formed a circle, raising their spears side by side, and stabbing them down one by one.

"It's now,

Attack! ” he shouted loudly.

"Attack!" Mo Yandu drew out his scimitar and raised it high. Following Mo Yandu's order, the three types of cavalry who were already ready to go immediately jumped out and accelerated towards the ramp.

The horse's hooves stepped onto the slope, and the speed had increased to the fastest. Like lightning, it went straight to the top of the slope. The top of the slope was several meters away from the city head. After running to the top of the slope, he jumped hard and could easily reach the city head.

Chen Bin was so excited that his eyes shone with excitement. He stared at the galloping horse and waved his hand, "Stand up!"

On top of the city, in front of each ramp, a dozen soldiers shouted loudly, grabbed poles, and pushed up three spikes, standing straight in front of the three ramps, blocking the horses. Jumping path.

The Donghu cavalryman who was galloping at the front had already jumped into the air. A nail board with a sharp long blade suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He suddenly screamed, but at this time, he had no way to change his castration. , the war horse hit the nail plate with its head straight, with a loud bang, the long blade pierced the war horse, the knight on the horse screamed, and fell down, the thick nail plate shook violently, Two of the poles could not withstand such a huge force, and snapped in two.

"Get on the bar, get on the bar!" Chen Bin shouted. Thick poles pushed up from behind, and the shaky nail boards immediately stabilized his figure. These nail boards were specially made by Chen Bin, and they were all nailed with thick iron sheets on the back. Otherwise, this It had already been shattered by the collision.

"Spear, spear!" Chen Bin shouted repeatedly.

On the ramp, the war horses galloped up one after another, unable to hold back their hooves at all. Of course, they ended up flying onto the nail board one after another, and fell one after another amidst the loud rumbling sound. When it fell, it turned red on the nail board in an instant.

"Stab with a spear, the board won't hold up." Some soldiers shouted loudly.

The spears, which were specially lengthened and were more than ten meters long, were thrust diagonally up the ramp from both sides of the nail plate, intercepting the war horses running up on the way. The spears went in and out, and the bellies of the horses were Above it, there were blood holes. Before it could fly, it had already fallen from both sides of the ramp. Under the ramp, within a short time, it was filled with horse corpses and human corpses.

"Change a group!" Chen Bin roared.

The running horses were stabbed with spears more than ten meters long. After each man was stabbed two or three times, his muscles and bones were already weak and his strength was gone. The second group of men and horses immediately stepped forward.

"Crossbow arrows, hold the crossbow at arm's length, shoot at the back."

Following Chen Bin's repeated calls, more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the wall with crossbows in their arms. They fired continuously at the Donghu cavalry at the end of the ramp. The cavalry who had just stepped onto the ramp had nowhere to escape. , under the rain of crossbow arrows, they jumped off their horses one by one. Some were unlucky and were pricked like hedgehogs.

In a short time, hundreds of cavalry lay dead in the snowy field under the three slopes. Mo Yandu's face was livid, Gu Jili was trembling all over, but He Tianju shook his head and was speechless, "It's really rare. In a short period of time, he actually guessed what I was going to do and prepared corresponding countermeasures. Chen Bin, my little I saw you!"

"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!" Unable to bear such losses, Mo Yandu finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sternly, "That's it for today."

The sound of golden gongs sounded, and the infantrymen who were in the mad attack retreated like a tide. The soldiers on the city cheered. But they won this battle again and suffered such a heavy loss. Loss, at least today, the enemy has no heart to launch another attack.

The enemy needs time to lick his wounds, and the defenders in the city must also seize this rare time to rest and regain their strength.

This battle didn't last long, but it made Chen Bin the most nervous. He knew very well that once the cavalry rushed to the city, this battle would no longer be fought.

"Clean up the city!" an officer shouted loudly. "Hey, you boys, don't throw the corpses of the Donghu people down. Put them on top of the city, pour water on them, freeze them solid, and they can be used as city walls. I'm ****, I'm I just want to see if those broken rocks can still be smashed."

Hearing the officer's roar, Chen Bin sighed and remained silent. Although it is said that the dead are the most important, and it is the virtue that a soldier should have to respect the remains of the deceased, but now, he can't care about so much. First of all, He had to ensure that his soldiers survived as much as possible. As for whether this matter has aroused greater anger among the Donghu people, there is nothing to worry about. Is it possible that the anger of the Donghu people is no longer strong now?

"Xiao Mo, how many of us can fight?" He stretched out his hand to summon Xiao Mo, who was like a rice dumpling. After the boy was injured, Chen Bin asked him to take charge of logistics.

"Captain, we still have 418 people alive, 103 people are slightly injured, and 56 people are seriously injured. The rest of the brothers are gone." Xiao Mo lowered his voice and had just retreated. The joy of the enemy's attack was lost in the face of the casualties.

"Only half of the people are left!" Chen Bin murmured.

"Commander, we have been fighting for more than a thousand people until now, and we have held back more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the enemy while only suffering a few hundred casualties. This is already something to be proud of." Xiao Mo said in a low voice.

Chen Bin nodded, "Go down. We must take good care of the seriously injured soldiers. Although I don't know if we can survive, but at least we must ensure that they must live well while we are alive."

"yes!"

In Tongwan City, Yan Peng and Luo Weiran were standing in a room in the city. There was no furnishings in this room, only a large dark hole. It was dark inside, and they didn't know where it led.

"Commander, after I lead the army out, this tunnel must be sealed. If we can go out along this tunnel, the other party can also come in along this tunnel." Luo Weiran said.

"Don't worry, if the Donghu people want to come in along this tunnel and steal the city, I will let them die miserably." Yan Peng chuckled and said: "On your side, be careful. I'm not worried about the first battle. , but then you will be exposed to the enemy's sight. Time, remember, time is everything."

"I understand, Commander, take care. See you after victory."

"See you after the victory!" The two pairs of big hands clasped together and shook heavily. Luo Weiran ducked into the tunnel. Behind him, the soldiers followed him closely one by one and entered the tunnel. A dark tunnel.

Yan Peng turned around and left the house, climbed up to the tower of Tongwan City, looked at the Donghu camp in the distance, and smiled proudly, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is full of murder and arson. It's so beautiful!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes at (.). Your support is my biggest motivation.
