Chapter 411 The Wind Rises in Liaodong (2)
The arrow feathers like locusts fell into the head of the city of Tanzhou in an instant, covering most of the city defense in the blink of an eye. After all, one side of the city wall is thousands of feet wide, and the bow and crossbow camp cannot be covered in everything.
The Jin soldiers guarding the city blocked their arms tightly with their shields. The impact of Beiliang's sharp arrow nailing the shield still made the soldiers' arms numb.
Many defenders who were not covered tightly or had no time to find something to defend themselves instantly died in the middle, screaming sounded one after another.
Especially the arrow shot from the huge siege crossbow was even more amazing.
Tuhamu saw a long painted black arrow half a foot long breaking the shield without any obstacles. The arrow body penetrated the chests of three Jin soldiers in a row, and finally took one person up and nailed it to the ground.
That's right, the arrow's tail is still swinging violently.
The corpse was hanging upside down in the air, and blood poured all over the ground. Tuohamu unconsciously swallowed and spitted, and some sweat had appeared in his palms.
This is too fucking fierce!
Of course, the Danzhou defenders did not do anything, and the Jin soldiers in the Arrow Tower in the Corner Tower also raised their bows to fight back.
Unfortunately, the range of the Jin soldiers' feather arrows is dozens of steps shorter than that of the Beiliang crossbow. Even if there are arrows that can be shot into the formation occasionally, they will not be able to cause effective damage to the Beiliang army.
The siege army outside the city remained tall and stood still. According to the habit of the Beiliang army siege, the first round of arrow feather offensive would last about an hour.
The 500-man phalanx where Lin Sanhu is located is almost all recruits from Liaodong. The officers led by him have just been drawn from the camp. I don’t know what the name is. Lin Sanhu only knows that everyone calls him Chen Tou.
Because most of the new Liaodong army have no combat experience, the officers in the army are currently drawn by rebel generals or the Northern Liang army.
The Northern Liang army could not choose a guy with no combat experience to lead 500 people to attack the city. Isn’t this let these Liaodong new recruits die?
This Chen Tou was the centurion who had entered the camp first, and there were ten sergeant commanders who followed, which built a temporary command system for this 500-man team.
Chen's naked arms, didn't even look at the arrow feathers that kept shooting out in front of him, but just wiped the Beiliang knife silently there. The handle of the knife was already shiny. Chen's head was still reluctant to change to a new knife.
Every Beiliang sword is very precious, and secondly, he feels that this sword has already had feelings for him.
There was also a bamboo shield on his left foot, covering the surface with cowhide. Although the bamboo shield is not as good as the iron shield, it is strong enough to carry it lightly and does not consume any physical strength. It is particularly important for the soldiers who climbed the city to save their energy.
The top 100 infantrymen of five hundred people were carrying round iron shields. If they were raised above their heads, they could just block their entire body. These hundred people were responsible for the rain of arrows blocking the city wall during the attack.
The next four hundred people were divided into a team of fifty people. Five people carried a bamboo ladder, and the rest were only equipped with a Northern Liang sword, so these were naturally the soldiers of Pancheng.
Standing in front, Lin Sanhu couldn't help but caress the brand new Beiliangdao in his waist, feeling comfortable, looked at the dense arrow feathers in front of him, and shouted: "Tao Chen, the golden dog is afraid that it will be if it is going on these few rounds.
All of them are dead, who can withstand such an offensive? What else do we need?"
Chen Tikka glared at Lin Sanhu with a face: "Don't dream, you kid, this is the appetizer. When we climb the city, you will know how dangerous it is."
"Tao Chen, Lin Sanhu is afraid of death, don't scare him." A soldier with a shield smiled beside him.
"What are you saying? I think you just envy them." Another soldier teased: "I'm a guy who has been chatting with Beiliang Hou for a long time. Who can have such a blessing in our 100,000 army?"
The conversation between Chenyue and Lin Sanhu, the Marquis of Beiliang, had been spread among the new recruits in Liaodong two days ago, and fear of death became the first choice for everyone to tease Lin Sanhu.
Of course, this is not really mocking him, but a joke among his comrades. Everyone envies this guy named Lin Sanhu for being able to talk to the Marquis of Beiliang himself.
Lin Sanhu grinned without any mind, and continued to talk to Chen Tou without fear of boiling water: "Tao Chen, tell us, why did you live well after attacking the city so many times? Are there any tricks?"
"Yes! Head Chen, please tell everyone!"
...
Everyone widened their eyes, because they knew that Chen Tou had participated in the southern expedition and came from the Beiliang Xiandengying Camp, so they all looked at him with admiration.
"The trick?" Chen Tou paused his hand, and the scenes in his mind seemed to appear before him. His eyes silently said, "There is no trick, it's just that every time I happen to climb the city in front of me, I'm not going to be there.
Brothers will just get that arrow for me. I am not living for myself, but for those dead brothers."
All the soldiers who heard this were slightly stunned. This seemingly casual sentence was actually made of many lives.
It just happened?
If the arrow hit him, then the centurion here today might be called Wang Tou and Li Tou.
Anyway, there will always be people who die and there will always be people who live.
Who in Beiliang is afraid of death? He has climbed the camp first and stopped their pace?
"You can just follow what you have taught you in the past two days later. Stabilize your formation and don't be confused! Remember! You must think about your comrades around you at any time!" Chen Tou said this and kept silent.
language.
Everyone nodded.
The brief chat ended quickly, but everyone's hearts became heavier.
Time went by slowly, and the experienced city on the battlefield looked at the sunlight. As time was about to be over, he put the bamboo shield at his feet in his hand. His slightly scattered eyes instantly became sharp and shouted behind him.
:
"Dear soldiers! I am a rough man and I can't make any literary words. I only have one sentence: After killing the golden dog, let's drink and brag together if you survive. Don't be afraid of those who die! Your family is taken care of!
The Marquis can't treat us badly!"
The rough and rustic words shocked everyone, and the cold light flashed in their eyes!
Chen Yue, who was sitting upright on the stage, finally raised his hand and whispered: "Let's start!"
Suddenly the flag on the stage flashed, and the drum sounded again.
After this round of drumming, the original crossbow camp divided into part and began to slowly advance forward, making the landing point of the feather arrow deeper, and the remaining part of the crossbow camp began to take a rotation rest.
The siege army will soon attack the city under its dense arrow feathers, so the landing point of the arrow feathers must be pushed forward. This Beiliang Li arrow cannot hit its own soldiers.
At the same time, more than ten cavalry commanders drove out and rushed towards the siege formations.
A messenger rushed to Chentou's countertop formation and shouted angrily:
"General's Order! Siege the City!"
Chen Toutiao drew his sword in an instant and roared angrily: "Follow me to the city!"
"The wind rises!"
"kill!"
