The wall made of black shields was advancing at a slow speed. Gao Fei, like the four hundred soldiers holding shields, could feel the impact of the arrows with their arms holding the shields. They walked in neat steps,
Stepping on the white snow, we approached the city wall step by step.
After walking two hundred meters, Gao Fei estimated the range of the crossbow, and then shouted loudly: "Xia Houlan, Pei Yuanshao, release the arrow!"
The black shield was immediately removed, revealing a huge gap. The strong crossbowmen holding the crossbows began to fire crossbow arrows towards the city wall. At the same time, the archers also shot the arrows they had held.
Four hundred arrows flew towards the rebels on the city wall.
, and arrows from the rebels on the city wall were also shot down the city. Before the black shield could be set up, a dozen crossbowmen were heard making miserable screams. Some were shot in the eyes, and some were shot in the eyes.
They were shot in the shoulder socket, and some were shot directly in the head.
The shield blocked the gap. Gao Fei looked back and saw that the three people were dead. The other injured people were gritting their teeth and covering their wounds, enduring the intense pain. What he saw was a kind of tough and unyielding soldier with wounds.
Although his face was still bleeding, his eyes were still cold, and only when he faced the enemy did their ferocity burst out.
"The injured people should hide under the shields. Others should be careful when shooting arrows. When the shield hand returns to the shield, the speed should be faster to avoid casualties as much as possible. After I count to ten, you start shooting arrows!"
Gao Fei turned his face sideways and pulled a man with an injured left eye to him, asking him to hold a shield. He took off the crossbow in his hand, put the crossbow arrows in, squatted down, and then put the crossbow in his hand.
He tilted his head upwards and slowly tilted his head back. After confirming the position of the rebel soldiers on the city wall, he began to count: "One...two...three..."
The arrows from the rebels on the city wall were still shooting towards the shield wall. Gao Fei could clearly hear the shouts of the commanders on the city tower in his ears. He counted the numbers silently. When he counted to ten,
The shield in front of him suddenly withdrew, and he immediately pulled the trigger of the crossbow, a short but sharp
The crossbow arrow was fired, and with a sound that cut through the sky, it shot straight into the face of a rebel soldier on the city wall. A wave of more than 300 arrows flew up the city wall, shooting down a group of enemies, and he
At the same time, I saw dense arrows flying towards me, but they were finally blocked by the shield that came back in time.
This time everyone cooperated very well. Only one arrow flew over unexpectedly, flew over the head of a soldier, and stuck straight into the snow, with only the tail feathers exposed. It was really dangerous.
The injured soldiers endured the pain and were replaced by soldiers holding shields, so that the crossbowmen could be replenished.
"Move to the right, one-two-one, one-two-one..." Gao Fei thought of the hundreds of sword shield soldiers on Sun Jian's side, and wanted to join forces with them to form a larger shield wall. He shouted while
command, while shouting the training slogans, the injured soldiers could also move to the right in unison following the slogans.
The shield wall moved, rising and falling in unison, and the shields were tightly connected with each other without any flaws.
"Come on, rush up, get me the ladder!" Sun Jian waved the knife in his hand while commanding the soldiers around him, climbing more than ten times in a row, but in exchange for constant casualties.
He roared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
"boom!"
A large boulder fell on the snow to the left of Sun Jian, and the snow and mud on the ground were splashed everywhere. As long as the boulder was tilted a little further to the right, Sun Jian would be crushed to death by the boulder.
Sun Jian looked back at the big rock at his feet. With lingering fear in his heart, he immediately jumped to the side, picked up the ladder under a corpse on the ground, howled loudly, lifted the ladder up, and started beating with the ladder.
Looking at the soldiers on the city wall, the archers
He was forced back a few. Seeing that this method was effective, he dropped the long knife in his hand, held up the ladder with both hands, and began to wave it along the bottom of the city wall to both sides. Wherever someone showed up, he swung it.
With one person's strength, he forced an open space on the city wall.
When the other people saw it, they were all infected. They pulled out the intact ladder from the pile of dead people at the back. If one person couldn't lift it, five people lifted it together and started running back and forth along the city wall. The remaining one hundred
Many people looked for an opportunity to set up the ladders, and then started to climb the city wall while holding up their shields and waving their long knives.
"Aim at that man and shoot him to death!" The rebel commander on the city wall saw Sun Jian's bravery and shouted immediately.
Following the man's order, the archers on both sides suddenly aimed their arrows at Sun Jian, but when they heard the sound of countless strings, a rainstorm of arrows shot towards Sun Jian's left and right sides.
"Puff, puff..."
The arrows penetrated the man's body, but missed Sun Jian. Seeing this, six soldiers rushed over from all sides, blocking the arrows for Sun Jian with their flesh and blood, and held Sun Jian firmly.
Pressed underneath.
"Now, shoot the arrows!" Gao Fei got the right time and gave the order. He saw the shield bearer removed his shield and the crossbowman began to shoot arrows towards the city wall. When the rebels had no defense, they suddenly fired.
Came down to an open space.
The waiting archers on the city wall immediately blocked the gap and began to shoot randomly at the people below. A dozen soldiers who had climbed halfway up the ladder were shot down again. After twenty minutes of siege, there was no gain at all.
"General Sun, please lead your soldiers here. There is strength in numbers. We cannot rely on the strength of one person alone. We must reduce casualties!" Gao Fei saw Sun Jian being crushed by six soldiers with arrows on their backs.
On the ground, he shouted loudly.
Sun Jian narrowly escaped death and immediately crawled out from under the six corpses. With a hint of panic on his face, he jumped behind Gao Fei's shield wall and shouted loudly: "Everyone gather here!"
The remaining one hundred and eighty-three remnant soldiers gathered together with their shields in hand. They imitated the methods of the Feiyu troops and set up their shields, forming a tight protective wall with the soldiers of the Feiyu troops.
Sun Jian's body and face were covered in blood. Seeing that there were only less than 200 of his 1,000 subordinates left, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He turned around and saw that Gaofei's Feiyu troops only had a dozen casualties.
The gap in his heart was too much for him to bear, and he immediately asked: "General Gao, why are your troops so tightly defended?"
Before Gao Fei had time to answer, he heard shouts of death from behind. Lu Heng, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai and others followed the well commanded by Gai Xun and the siege vehicles rushed over. Standing on the tall well was
There were many archers, and as soon as the rebels entered the shooting range, they fired with bows and arrows.
The rebels' bows were all short bows used by cavalry, and their range could not be compared with those of the Han soldiers standing on the well with big bows. Arrows like rain started to shoot from the well to the tower, and immediately
The rebels on the city tower were suppressed. At the same time, the catapults commanded by Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo also came in handy, and hundreds of large stones from the sky fell on the city wall.
When Han Sui saw how fierce the Han army's attack was, he immediately got off the tower and walked along the stairs, shouting loudly: "Open the city gate, the cavalry will attack!"
With an order, the city gate of Jicheng suddenly opened. Bian Zhang, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and Beigong Boyu each led a group of cavalry to rush out of the gate. Once they rushed out, they immediately divided into
Two batches, one batch of right ribbon
Leading the way, they rushed toward the siege weapons that were heading straight behind. Each person also waved a large net in their hands, and from time to time they threw the net into the crowd, and then pulled the net rope with their hands, using the pulling force of the horses.
, pull that group of people down.
The horses of the group of people led by Bei Gong Boyu had two spears tied to them. The spears passed over the horses' heads. The cold, sharp spear heads quickly hit Gao Fei and others with shields using the collision force of the horses.
On the position, there was a bang, but because it was very close to the city wall, it was impossible to react.
Feiyu's troops and Sun Jian's more than 100 men were severely damaged. Once they were hit by the spiked horses, the formation was completely dispersed. The crossbowmen behind only fired a batch of arrows and had no time to load them.
The cavalry from behind rushed over and forced a hole in the middle of Feiyu's troops.
This sudden cavalry attack caught Gao Fei off guard. Although the formation was broken up, fortunately the Feiyu troops were a rigorously trained team. Except for the thirty or so people in the middle who were trampled by the hoofs of horses, they could not survive.
, the rest of the people were intact, and as soon as they were dispersed, they immediately drew out the long swords in their waists, fought on their own, and killed the Qiang and Hu cavalry when they saw them.
At this time, there was chaos at the east gate of Jicheng. The sudden appearance of two groups of cavalry exceeded everyone's expectations. The Qiang and Hu men wielded their sabers and killed the soldiers guarding the wells and siege vehicles.
Whether it was the Feiyu troops wearing black armor or the Han troops wearing orange-red armor, they spared no one.
The archers on the well railing saw the chaos below. Although their bows and arrows were aimed at the cavalry below, they did not dare to shoot rashly for fear of accidentally injuring one of their own. Bian Zhang and the cavalry were the first to break through the defense line and jumped first.
He got off his horse and jumped to the edge of a well. He raised the scimitar in his hand and hit it a dozen times.
With a fierce attack, he was guarded by the soldiers behind him and cut off one of the pillars of the well. One of the pillars of the well was broken, and the soldiers on top were immediately overturned and smashed together with the broken well.
He came down and fell forward into the crowd. No matter who he was, he was smashed to pieces, and his brains and blood were everywhere.
Gao Fei and Sun Jian were standing next to each other. Seeing the rebel cavalry breaking up the Han army's camp unscrupulously and brutally slaughtering their subordinates, the anger in their hearts had already welled up. The two of them shouted at the same time.
Yelling, he picked up the knife in his hand
There was a fierce slashing, and the cavalry was pulled down when they saw it. The blade was raging, and absolutely no one was left alive. In addition, the melee of the Feiyu troops quickly stopped the cavalry from continuing to charge, and the charge was about to be stopped.
The incoming cavalry surrounded him tightly.
After the melee began, the five thousand soldiers brought out by Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu were completely surrounded, but they could no longer take advantage of the cavalry. The Feiyu troops played a great role at this time,
They are well-trained and are not inferior in the face of this kind of melee, or they can fight alone
Fight, or face the enemy back-to-back with your companions, or cooperate with each other in three or five people. In short, you can clearly see that black fission is taking place in the melee. Those Feiyu soldiers in black clothes and black armor soon turned into
Half red and half black clothes, and the number of corpses on the ground is constantly increasing.
