If you stand next to the horn, you will hear a high-pitched sound that is deafening, but if you are far away, it will sound like a low sound that will make your blood tremble. This sound contains two characteristics,
It has always existed as the most common battlefield command for the Hu people.
Amidst such horns, the Western Region Allied Forces slowly gathered.
Busen walked slowly, muttering something and clasping his hands.
His disciples followed behind him, shaking the incense burner in their hands. The faint green smoke spread out with the shaking of the incense burner and wrapped around the barbarians arrayed at the front.
An old herdsman who looked about the same age as Busen was wearing a tattered leather robe, with a hole in the left side bitten by insects and a tuft of hair missing on the right side. The only thing relatively new was a blue stripe tied on his arm.
The colored strips of cloth seem to represent some identity, or a temporary frontline commander.
He was shouting the key points of the battle to the herdsmen around him, "...Listen up! Follow me! Don't stop! Don't be afraid of anything you see! Don't think about it! Just charge forward! Charge forward and eliminate the Han people,
We won! This is how I survived last time! Does everyone understand?』
"knew……"
"I understand, I understand!"
"oh!"
Other herdsmen responded in a flurry of responses.
Busen could understand the accents of some people's shouts, but he couldn't understand others either.
"But, what are we going to use to fight against the Han people?" said a slightly crouched herdsman. He only held a wooden stick in his hand, which was not even as long as his arm. "I only got this... This is not even an iron stick."
Not even a sharp point!』
"This can also kill the Han people!" The old herdsman from before also waved a wooden stick in his hand and said loudly, "I only have one wooden stick! We don't have that many iron points! Good things should be left to us.
Children! Isn’t it? If we kill the Han people, we will have everything!”
Bu Sen clasped his hands together and walked from one end to the other. He paused, then was silent for a while, and said to the disciple beside him: "I remember I have a dagger over there for you... Yes, this is it...
…Give this dagger to the man in the queue with the blue cloth tied up…and tell him that I wish him victory…”
The disciple nodded, then held the dagger in both hands and ran back into the queue.
After a while, cheers broke out among the herdsmen.
The disciple came back, followed by the old herdsman wearing a blue cloth.
The old herdsman held the dagger, knelt down and kowtowed three steps away from Busen, "Thank you, Master! I will fight bravely, for the Buddha! For the Master!"
Bu Senheshi chanted the name of Buddha, then stepped forward to help the old herdsman up, held his arm, looked at his excited expression, was silent for a while, did not say any more words to encourage him, but gave his arm a firm squeeze.
The hand said slowly and lowly——
"Stay alive."
"ah?"
The old herdsman was still in a daze, but Busen had already walked away.
……(╯︵╰)……
The sound of horns sounded across the sky above the military camp.
The Han soldiers on the military stronghold also looked towards the Western Region Allied Forces.
Menghua has put on double armor.
Black armor, red shirt.
Pure black as the base, with red silk ribbons connecting the nail pieces.
This is the color of a big man, and it is also the color of iron and blood.
Meng Hua said to the guards behind him: "Send the order! Let's play the drum first!"
The guard responded loudly, and immediately made a gesture towards the general platform at the rear. Immediately, the fierce sound of war drums suddenly resounded over the military stronghold, suppressing the horn horns, and became the master of this world!
Most of the Han military officers on the outer wall of the military stronghold have participated in many battles. They held their swords and guns with leisurely time and patrolled the surrounding subordinate soldiers. If they saw someone nervous, they would step forward or laugh and curse, or
A slap on the arm, or a few words of encouragement, and the rumbling war drums also made the dull feeling that seemed to be invisibly pressing on the Han soldiers disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, and then came
It's the surging blood!
The first wave of battles began quickly.
After all, even if you don't move in formation, your physical strength will decrease over time, and some people may even want to solve personal problems, etc. The kind of person who can stand still from beginning to end, and then start from
Those who stand during the day and still have no decrease in combat effectiveness at night will only appear in the game.
Taksa didn't even wait for the formation of the first wave of Western Region Allied Forces to be completely organized before he launched the attack. Perhaps in his view, these people were going to be used to consume the Han soldiers anyway, and they would all die if they died early or late.
If it's neat, there's no need to think about it.
Of course, in order to kill the Han soldiers in the military camp as much as possible, Taksa did not just send cannon fodder, but also sent archers on both wings to provide cover. At the same time, there was also a group of cavalry in the rear formation, ready to attack at any time.
.
Menghua watched the Western Region Allied Forces approaching slowly and did not even issue any orders. Instead, he gave all the autonomy to the military lord Li Si who was responsible for commanding the outer wall.
Military Marquis Li Si originally wanted to order the archers on the outer wall to shoot at the incoming Western Region Allied Forces, but after thinking about it, he just ordered the soldiers in the military camp to prepare for the rain of arrows, and did not ask the archers to shoot at the herdsmen.
Instead, he ordered a few archers with good shooting skills to find opportunities to shoot the coalition officers who were commanding the herdsmen.
So the archer array of the Western Region Allied Forces smoothly advanced to the bottom of the gentle slope of the military stronghold, and then began to throw arrows at the military stronghold under orders.
The soldiers of the Han army, who had already experienced battle formations, did not panic much when faced with the rain of arrows. The sword and shield bearers in the front row had already raised their shields high, while the soldiers without shields squatted down and hid behind them.
They reached the inside of the outer wall of the military stronghold and clung to the root of the wall. The soldiers running in the military stronghold also looked for places to hide after the warning. For a moment, the entire military stronghold seemed to have turned into a rock in the blink of an eye.
Solid and strong.
A hail of arrows roared in.
Most herdsmen in the grassland deserts are good archers, but unfortunately they may not be good military archers.
Although it took a period of training and integration, the training happened to be in the rainy season, so it is impossible to say that shooting a bow on a rainy day is not called training, but can be renamed as a broken bow. Therefore, even if
They barely formed a neat queue and shot arrows at the same time. However, the rain of arrows flying in the air was sparse. Even when the rain of arrows fell, it failed to make the bodies of the Han soldiers with shields on the wall of the army shake.
Move half a step.
When the arrows fall, they have a certain amount of kinetic energy. If they are too dense and the falling force is strong enough, even if the shield is not penetrated, the shield will be deflected and some flaws will be exposed. That is
It will naturally cause subsequent damage.
Taksa frowned and looked at the array of archers from the Western Region Allied Forces who seemed to be working hard but had no concrete results. Even though he originally wanted these herdsmen archers to consume the strength of the Han people, but now this
The situation is also too ugly.
"Send the order! Let each country send out some eagle shooters! Get into the queue and shoot the Han soldiers!"
Seeing the messenger go down, Taksa glanced back again, "How are the soil bags prepared?"
The back of the military stronghold is relatively steep. Only by using earth bags to create a gentle slope can it be possible to build an offensive road. Moreover, the excavation and preparation of the earth bags should not be too close to the military stronghold, otherwise the military stronghold will see it and guess Tucker.
Sa's intention loses its suddenness.
"General, let me go take a look." the guard responded.
"Well, prepare more. It's better to have more than less!" Taksa ordered, "If there is any situation, report it immediately!"
The guard responded and immediately rode back.
……?(*–-)?……
Below the military stronghold, under the cover of bows and arrows, the Western Region Allied Forces began to destroy the traps and horse resistance on the gentle slope of the outer wall of the military stronghold, and gradually began to approach the outer wall of the military stronghold.
The horn was blown again.
The archers moved to both sides to make more space, and then the Western Region Allied Forces roared, carrying seven or eight ladders, and under the cover of the shield men, rushed towards the outer wall of the military stronghold.
Li Si on the outer wall looked up at the sky and found that the arrows shooting from outside had stopped. He slightly peeked out and immediately retracted and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is attacking! Prepare to fight!"
The cannon fodder of the Western Region Allied Forces howled, ran crookedly, and rushed forward crazily.
The soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces carrying ladders quickly received the attention of archers during the march. It is impossible for these ladder-resistant soldiers to say that they ran out of an S shape one moment and an S-shaped one the next second.
B. Their overall direction and speed of travel are basically fixed. Even if there are some shield hands protecting them, they still cannot be said to be completely covered. Injuries are inevitable. From time to time, someone will be shot and then fall over with a wail.
.
It's just that there are many soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces in the surrounding area. When one falls, a second one will immediately take his place, just like small stones thrown into a pond, only causing some ripples.
Li Si also took a bow, put it on the arrow, gently pulled it halfway, and then placed it at the crenellation of the military stronghold, observing the Western Region Allied Forces under the military stronghold, looking for important targets, and then he saw
Among the Western Region Allied Forces surging like a tide, there was a character who seemed to be a squad leader. He was raising his arms and shouting, seeming to encourage and guide the surrounding Western Region Allied Forces soldiers.
"It's you..." Li Si slightly leaned out half of his body, opened the bow with force, and aimed at the guy waving his arm with an obvious blue strip of cloth on his arm.
The arrow missed and roared out.
In order to ensure a hit, Li Si did not aim at the head and throat, but at the upper body.
The arrows made by standard processes represent the current production technology of the Han Dynasty. The tough and uniform arrow shafts bring less error in the weight of the arrows, and the tail feathers of chickens, ducks and poultry also make the bows and arrows fly more smoothly. All of this
This technology allowed Han archers to ensure that they did not have to compete with luck every time when shooting.
"puff!"
The sharp arrows can always deal 120% damage when dealing with unarmored targets.
Seeing the small leader of the Western Region Alliance Army with a blue cloth wrapped around his arm fall down, a smile appeared on Li Si's face. He felt that below the military stronghold, in the corner of his field of vision, someone seemed to be raising a bow and aiming.
Got him!
Li Si's whole body suddenly stood up with chills, and he quickly retreated.
A black shadow instantly shot up from below the military stronghold, shooting Li Si down!
"Marquis of the Army!"
The surrounding Han soldiers were shocked.
Li Si felt his face was burning, and the pain made him want to grin, but when his mouth moved, it hurt even more. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and his hands were covered with blood. A soldier next to him helped Li Si take off his helmet, and only saw a
The arrow pierced deeply into the helmet, and even pushed out a sharp tip.
It turned out that the arrow shot from below missed, scratched Li Si's chin and cheek, cut his ear, and then pierced directly into the helmet. Maybe Li Si had shrunk his head and been slower, or maybe the man had shot harder.
Looking a little further inside, Li Si is probably already a dead person.
"Doctor! Doctor!" the soldiers beside Li Si shouted, "Hurry up and bandage the military lord!"
Li Si tried to move his face, and he grinned in pain, "No need to scream! You can't die!"
Li Si pulled out the arrow from his helmet, looked at it, gritted his teeth and said, "Just pour me some styptic powder, no need to bandage! How can I give orders after bandaging it? Go, tell everyone, you are a thief from the Western Regions"
There are eagle shooters in there! Be careful!』
Eagle shooters are not a special unit. They are just honorific names for those with better shooting skills among the nomads, just like warriors. Relatively speaking, these eagle shooters will have relatively strong bows and arrows.
Large, with a long range, it is stronger than ordinary barbarian shooters. This time, he mixed in with the Western Region Allied Forces and launched a surprise attack on the Han soldiers in the military camp. He indeed achieved a lot of results. In addition to shooting and wounding Li Si,
, and also shot down several other Han soldiers.
Li Si gritted his teeth in pain, "Archers! Find me fifty archers!"
Not taking revenge is not a gentleman. This is what all gentlemen are like. What's more, Li Si feels that he is not a gentleman, so he must take revenge on the spot, otherwise he will not be able to swallow his bad breath!
He would not let his archers compete with the opponent's eagle shooters, because it was obvious that if ordinary archers faced off against elite eagle shooters, his own archers would naturally suffer.
Since we can't fight alone, we'll fight in groups.
The eagle shooter below the military stronghold was still half-bent, hiding among the surrounding Western Region coalition forces. Shooting from below upwards, although it is said that as long as it can hit, it will basically go towards the vital part of the head, but it is also because
Due to the shooting boundary, these eagle shooters must be closer, otherwise they will not be able to shoot, but they cannot be too close to the village wall, so in fact, these eagle shooters unknowingly choose the distance from the military village.
Generally speaking, they are not far apart, on a parallel line.
This gave Li Si an opportunity to fight back.
When he discovered an eagle shooter, he quickly discovered other eagle shooters...
Then Li Si felt that fifty archers were too few, so he called in thirty archers and formed a small array.
"Elevation two and a half fingers! One shoulder to the right!" Li Si stared at the gentle slope outside the military camp through the gap, "Test firing!"
The archer behind Li Si raised his bow to the sky and threw an arrow as a sign.
An arrow with a white tail flew across the sky, and then plunged into the sky.
The eagle shooters in the Western Region Allied Forces did not realize what the missing arrow meant. They were still trying to find valuable targets, or shot through the gaps in the shields of the Han soldiers who were holding the push rod against the ladder.
of……
Li Si snorted. Although he had sprinkled styptic powder on his face, it only reduced the blood flow, and the wound would still be involved when talking and walking, causing him endless pain. "Hey... very good, everyone."
All! Two and a half fingers above the ground! One shoulder to the right! Three rounds of rapid fire! Prepare! Shoot!』
Almost at the same time, dozens of arrows shot up in the sky.
A small piece of black cloud roared down from the sky, instantly shooting down a group of Western Region Allied Forces.
"The altitude remains unchanged, three fingers to the right! Three more rounds! Prepare! Shoot!"
Following Li Si's order, the Han army's archers seemed to have eyes, flying continuously from the military stronghold, sweeping across from right to left, like a grate, on the gentle slope in front of the general's stronghold.
The area where the Eagle Shooter was hiding has been cleared sideways!
Some of these eagle shooters on the gentle slope of the military village were unprepared and were suddenly hit by arrows tilted down from their heads. Some were more alert and ran back immediately when the situation was bad. Of course, there were also some who seemed to be very capable of fighting.
With experience, when he saw that the arrow had reached the top of his head and there was no time to run away, he immediately grabbed the corpse on the ground and pushed it against his head and face. Although he could not completely avoid the damage, at least he avoided his own vital points...
In the area where the arrows were missing, the blood of the dead and injured Western Region Allied Forces flowed freely, and the living ones fled back with their livers and gallbladders broken!
After such a round of shooting, Li Si was surprised to find that his move, which was just to avenge an arrow, actually had additional effects!
He unintentionally used this counterattack to form a sparse isolation zone, interrupting the forward attack sequence of the Western Region Allied Forces, making it impossible for the subsequent Western Region Allied Forces to connect in a short period of time!
Covering the battlefield with arrows is not Li Si's first tactic. However, it is rare to see a strategy that covers an area with a small amount of arrows, like scissors, cutting off the opponent's subsequent follow-up.
In other words, in the past, most of the coverage shots, even if there was movement, were vertical and extended shots. Now Li Si unintentionally made the Han army's coverage shots move horizontally. The key is that the effect is very good!
Thinking from a different angle is sometimes very simple, just in a change of thought, but sometimes it is very difficult, and it lasts for decades or hundreds of years and no one can think of it.
Seeing the unexpected changes on the battlefield, Li Si immediately reacted, pointed at the small group of Western Region Allied Forces who had already climbed up the ladder, and roared loudly: "Kill! Push down the ladder! Kill them!"
The war drums were thundering, and the morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow. They also shouted along with Li Si, and then almost in the blink of an eye, they overturned the ladder and killed the Western Region Allied Forces below the military stronghold who had lost follow-up.
This caused the coalition soldiers to retreat in embarrassment,
The first wave of offensive by the Western Region Allied Forces only started at the beginning, and was interrupted unexpectedly.
"Ha, this method is quite good. Write it down, write it down...and hand it over to the martial arts hall after the war!" Meng Huai, who stood on the high platform on the inner wall and stared at the changes in the battle situation, couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Send it to the outer wall again."
Thirty archers go! I want to see what this Western Region coalition will do?!』
