Chapter six hundred and fourteenth three-stage strike
At this time, the golden juice in Xu Sheng's hand was consumed, so he had to take the soldiers and quietly wait for the Black Wind Thieves who had climbed the city.
Soon, a continuous stream of black wind thieves climbed up from the ladder.
"Huh, Huh..." Tian Duyan looked up, and the only right eye left appeared in front of Xu Sheng and the others with ecstasy.
Lu Ming had issued an order before that the first person to enter the city would directly reward a thousand gold coins and be promoted to the third level. (The daughter here is not a thousand gold coins, but a thousand silver coins.)
When Tian Duyan thought of getting these rewards, he was instantly filled with strength. Then, he jumped hard and raised the long sword in his right hand...
"Puchi!" Xu Sheng pulled back his spear with a calm expression.
As for Tian Duyan, at this time, he had already fallen on the city wall, leaving only one of his right eyes, and there was still a trace of excitement left.
Soon, only coldness and death remained in this right eye!
"Attack!" Xu Sheng ordered calmly.
Hearing Xu Sheng's order, a group of new recruits who had just recruited from Heisha City came forward in order, and brought some of the refusals who had visited the inside of the city wall and placed them at the marching wall against the ladder.
These rebels were immediately covered with sharp iron barbs, which was daunting. In order to strengthen the blocking power and lethality, the auxiliary soldiers, under the command of the team officer, all rebels were forcibly and contrary to each other.
After the auxiliary soldiers set up their horses to resist the horse, they quickly left this section of the city wall. Their mission here was completed, and the next battle was handed over to Xu Sheng and other "veterans".
Behind or next to these few horse-rejecting horses on the city wall, more than 100 spearmen in two layers of fine armor from the 700th House were erecting steel guns, staring at the ladder not far ahead with their eyes. The hundreds of people were divided into five groups, each standing at a city wall, each group was fought by the small flags inside the houses.
During the military discussions discussed by Lin Ze and others in advance, once the enemy soldiers landed on the city, it was a good opportunity to kill them in large quantities, and at the same time, they could also exercise the hand-to-hand combat capabilities of their own soldiers.
Only in the battle of life and death can our new recruits grow rapidly and become elite soldiers in a hundred battles at the fastest speed!
Of course, Lin Ze is not the kind of cold-blooded general who ignores the lives of soldiers in order to train new recruits. In order to reduce casualties, Lin Ze strictly stipulates that once he encounters most of the Black Wind Thieves, or encounters a large number of quasi-warriors and warriors, it is best to use a bow and archery team or a special warrior unit to solve these people.
The area above the city wall is limited, and the height of the city walls on both sides is very high, so if you want to make a way out, you can only fight face to face on the city wall. In this way, the archer troops can exert their maximum power.
They can shoot from a distance with the bows and arrows in their hands. After the Black Wind Thieves soldiers, quasi-warriors, and warriors were exhausted by the archers' shooting, or were injured, the remaining spearmen who were prepared were rushed forward and assassinated directly. In this way, these extremely threatening Black Wind Thieves' quasi-warriors and warriors can be easily eliminated.
Among the troops fighting on the city wall, Lin Ze set up an archer unit for every thousand households, with a large number of up to 300 people, and also attacked according to the three-stage attack.
Three-section strike: Three-section strike is a kind of convex gun tactic that appeared in the 16th century. When muskets could not be shot continuously, this tactic made up for the shortcomings of slow musket shooting speed.
Although the flint gun was more powerful than the crossbow, after the musket was shot, it had to be put in gunpowder and lead balls after the musket was shot (the real bullet was not released at that time, and some countries even used stones everywhere), extracted the strips from the underbars, pounded the lead balls and gunpowder, and lit the flint to aim at the enemy. After the shooting, the gun holes were occasionally cleared (if you use a flintlock gun, it would almost save this time). So it took about one minute to fire a gun (the flintlock gun was half a minute, and the skilled one was only about 15 seconds, and it could be used in rainy days). After the shooting, the enemy who fought at close range would charge (especially the cavalry), and the musket team would suffer great losses.
Therefore, some countries came up with a tactic. The musket teams were divided into three rows first. After the first row was shot, the second row was shot. When the second row was shot, the first row and the third row were exchanged. When the second row was shot, the third row was shot. After the second row was shot, the second row was shot and the first row was shot. After the third row was shot, the interval was greatly shortened.
Although the three-stage strike was invented because of the emergence of the mesh gun, it is also very effective when used in the archery team.
The three-stage attack method allows these archers to continuously maintain firepower output, thereby exerting the power of the archers to the extreme.
Now, Black Wind Thieves have tasted the powerful power of the three-stage attack.
The Black Wind Thieves archers here had just shot a round of attacks. Before they could put a good arrow on the bows and arrows in their hands, they ushered in a steady stream of bows and arrows.
"Swish swish swish swish swish...!" Countless black arrows shot at them without stopping as if it was raining.
Many Black Wind Thieves' archers have never seen any three-stage strikes, so they still fight according to their previous training and experience.
After a round of bows and arrows were shot, all the Black Wind Thieves' archers stood up and prepared to launch their attacks.
However, these Black Wind Thieves had just stood up and a dark rain of arrows appeared in front of them.
"Puff puff puff puff puff..." Countless arrows shot into their bodies in the incredible eyes of these Black Wind Thieves' archers.
"Ahhhhhh..." Countless screams rang out.
This is this round of three-stage attacks. The Black Wind Thieves' archer troops lost nearly 500 people, and the damage they caused was only twenty or thirty.
Seeing that the casualties between the two were so great, Lin Ze on the city gate tower nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With this three-stage attack method, the shortcomings of his small number of people have been greatly compensated. At least, there is no need to worry about the threat of a large number of archers from the Black Wind Thieves. He has enough strength to fight against a large number of archers from the Black Wind Thieves.
....................................
At this time, the 700th House team had already begun to fight with the Black Wind Thieves soldiers who had climbed up the city. In addition to leaving a small team of spearmen to protect the archers behind him to continue shooting under the horses, the remaining spearmen were led by the small flag captain in the team, constantly killing the Black Wind Thieves who had climbed up the city.
The upper part of the city wall here at the east gate of Heisha City is about forty or fifty meters wide. If these horses are placed at the squad, these teams can still be easily accommodated behind and around the horses.
When Qi Yuan started to fight, the 1000th House Team, which is only 100 meters away from Qi Yuan, is about to fight.
Like the hundred households led by Qi Yuan, the hundred households here are also composed of spearmen and archers. All spearmen are divided into five teams, all with small flags in the hundred households, and the general flags in the five small flags are commanded by Zhou Ming of the hundred households. Next to him, there are five guards, two flag bearers, and three drummers. At this time, they were also standing next to them with a knife with a nervous expression.
"Click.Click..."
Listening to the sound of climbing outside the city wall, the soldiers of the 1000th household were pursing their lips, their chests were rising and falling rapidly, and they looked nervously at the movements on the other side of the ladder.
Finally, a few steps closer to the first horse-faced city wall on the left, a black wind thief with a round shield in his hand and a half-moon short-handed axe appeared at the entrance of the cloud ladder. He was wearing a skull carved on his head. The skull was blood-red, and there was some blood in his eyes, so it looked a little scary from a distance.
His face was covered with horizontal flesh, his cheeks were covered with curly beard, and there were several deep scars on his right face.
Judging from the color of the armor on his body and the number of stars on his collar, it turned out to be a general flag inside the Black Wind Thieves Legion.
As soon as he appeared at the top of the city, he did not look inward and protected himself with a round shield to prevent the enemy in the city from coming.
Then, he jumped, quickly climbed up the city wall, held a short axe in his right hand, then shouted loudly, jumped down from the head of the city, and rushed towards the enemy in front.
In the past, the general flag always used this dress to kill the city. The bloody skull turban on his forehead, coupled with his curly beard and scars on his face, could scare away many enemies in the city. This method was tried and tested by him before.
The Black Wind Thieves's general flag has this confidence in his heart. As long as he jumps onto the city wall, he can open a foothold for the team behind him.
However, what he could not have imagined was that under the city wall where the ladder was located, there were several horses with squid horses, all over the place, and the sharp iron thorns were shining with a cold light. He jumped down and happened to jump on a horse.
In an instant, several sharp iron thorns penetrated deeply into his body.
"Ah...!" The Black Wind Thieves General Flag screamed loudly, and twisted his body desperately, trying to escape the trap.
However, the three layers of armor worn on his body directly shattered the idea of the general flag's desire to escape.
