In Zuoying, Zhang Meng rode a tall horse, carrying a broadsword, and walked slowly behind. In front of him, a dense military formation marched along the beach, beating drums, and waves of waves crashed in front of his army.
, less than twenty steps to the left, with the strong sea breeze, there were even a lot of spray fragments from the sea hitting the shore, splashing on the outermost sergeants. Under the scorching sun, many people's faces were
The skin began to peel, and the skin became dark. As soon as the sweat seeped out from the pores of the body, it evaporated, leaving white traces of salt hanging on the collar and cuffs. Their eyes, gently
He squinted and held the weapons in his hands tightly, and the sound of everyone's heartbeats, even among the drum beats, could be heard clearly and clearly. After all, this time it was a frontal attack on the world-famous Beifu Army.
No matter who is in the frontal defensive camp, they will feel a little guilty.
But in the Beifu military camp opposite, there was silence. The more than a thousand soldiers who had just left the camp had withdrawn long ago. About five steps in front of the camp, there was a deep trench three meters wide, and behind the trench,
Horses and antlers were placed, and ropes were tied between these obstacles. Whoever wanted to directly attack the opponent's camp had to bypass these obstacles.
Only the front of the right camp, which is more than three miles away, and the three closed camp gates are free of obstacles and can be attacked directly. However, the floating beam that can be placed across the trench, similar to the city's suspension bridge, is now
The iron chain was put away, but on the back of the floating beam, an index finger was drawn, provocatively ticking in his direction, and underneath were four shocking large characters written in red dye:
"Come here!"
Zhang Meng bit his lip tightly, and a deputy general next to him said angrily: "These stupid Beifu troops are too arrogant. General, let's attack across the board now. As long as the trenches are filled, we can enter the stronghold."
middle!"
Zhang Meng said angrily: "Idiot, can't you see the enemy's trick to lure them? The more they provoke us like this, the more they want us to take the initiative to attack. Look at that trench. It's deep and wide. I want to crawl through it."
It was not easy in the past, not to mention the obstacles behind. However, the more they defend like this, the more it shows that they are tempting us to attack those village gates, because the gates are too narrow, and they can concentrate their forces to defend this width.
But the entire wall is too wide, and our advantage is that we have strength in numbers, so we have to find a way to widen the front of the attack!"
The deputy general's eyes lit up: "The general is right, so what should we do?"
Zhang Meng sneered and said: "Send the order, the archers come forward, shoot arrows at the line of the stockade fence, suppress the bows and arrows, and the heavy troops step forward, hook and pull the ropes used in preparing to attack the fence, and hook up the resisting horses.
Antlers, hum, don’t you want to prevent us from attacking? Then I will do the opposite, that is, widen the front and fully attack the enemy’s wall. As long as the wall is broken, let me go in and kill!”
As Zhang Meng's order was issued, the large group of Tianshi Army stopped suddenly a hundred steps away from the stronghold. Two thousand archers rushed out from behind the formation. One of every three people was carrying a large weapon on his back.
Shield, ran backwards at the front, and ran until he was thirty steps away from the village and only about ten steps away from the deep ditch, before he stopped.
Just as these people were running out, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums in the village. Behind the fence and on the archery towers erected every ten steps or so, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the sentry towers.
The Tianshi Dao archers who entered the shooting range were attacked by waves of arrows.
The officers of the Beifu Army shouted uniform slogans, and the soldiers' cheers of "wind", "wind" and "wind" were also heard in the camp, accompanied by waves of neat archers firing their bowstrings.
The sound turned into a shower of arrows that flew up into the sky, swaying in the formation of Tianshi Dao's archers. They did not enter the protection of those large shields. Many soldiers who were still running behind screamed and fell down after being hit by arrows.
The remaining archers quickly dispersed their formation, or got into the protection of those shields, or took advantage of the gap between the opponent's bows and arrows to lean out and face the camp fence, and there were also bursts of fire.
Bows and arrows fired back.
Next to Zhang Meng, the deputy general grinned and said: "General, it seems that the Beifu Army is nothing more than that. I originally thought they were one-of-a-kind warriors with strong bows and fast arrows. Now it seems that they are no better than ordinary people."
Compared with the Jin army, they are not much stronger. Our archers can rely on their big shields to shoot at them."
Zhang Meng nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that is indeed the case. I think it is probably because the enemy's troops are insufficient and they have armed a lot of baggage and logistics personnel to go into battle. Look, on the archery towers near their camp gates,
The bows and arrows came very quickly and densely, causing a lot of damage to us. Even the wooden shields were shot down. However, the bows and arrows behind the fence were thin and soft, and could not even fly fifty steps. They were obviously weak soldiers.
The shots were fired, which proves my judgment that the enemy's troops are insufficient and can only defend key positions such as the village gate with a small number of troops and horses, while inside the long fence, they rely on weak soldiers, civilians, and logistics to show off."
"Call me an order to have the baggage soldiers come up now and fill the trench for me as quickly as possible, hook up the horses, and throw sandbags. Within two quarters of an hour, if the trench is uneven and the roadblocks are not removed, let Captain Li of the baggage force enter the ditch by himself.
Fill it in!"
Beifu Army, Zuoying, on a sentry tower in the rear, He Wuji looked relaxed, looking at the opposite front, more than a thousand lightly armored sergeants, like ants moving, running around, moving
Bags filled with sand and soil were thrown into the trench. Some of the guys who were shot and killed by arrows, and even some of the seriously injured soldiers who were still breathing and twitching slightly, were also thrown into the trench without mercy to their companions.
The ground was lifted up, treated as a human sandbag, and thrown into the trench. Just along the line of the long fence, there were at least more than two hundred corpses of baggage soldiers and archers. Almost all of them were thrown into the trench, facing each other on the opposite side.
Those who responded to the rows of rebel horses pulled into the ditch. Every time such a large roadblock entered the ditch, bursts of cheers broke out from the Tianshi Dao army formation behind, and thousands more
The sound of religious chanting from people at the top of their lungs could be heard all the time.
Shen Yunzi stood beside He Wuji and said with a smile: "Lieutenant He, it seems that the demon thief has been fooled. Three hundred Beifu troops guarded the gate of the village, and five hundred Wudi militiamen guarded the back fence. Such a bow and arrow strike has certain effects.
The effect is to show weakness to the enemy. Once the trench is leveled, their large army will rush up. Then..."
He Wuji smiled and turned his head and looked at Shen Yunzi: "Then we can compete to see who can kill the thieves faster and more!"
