There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 4761: Holding the line of defense as stable as a mountain
Chapter 4761: Holding the line of defense as stable as a mountain
Jin army, in the rear army formation, the second internal fence line of defense.
Tan Daoji sat coldly on a small temporary high place made of a dozen boxes. He looked at the battle on the fence line about 200 steps ahead. More than 30 wooden armored robots had been lined up in two lines.
In a staggered array, the wooden armored machine man in the front row held a shield in one hand and fired with a crossbow on his shoulder, while the wooden armored machine man in the back row opened his chest, revealing two repeating crossbows, and kept firing at them.
Launch forward.
Not only that, the small catapults behind them were also constantly carrying out stone-throwing attacks, causing stones as big as watermelons to fly into the Jin army's barracks a hundred steps away.
The Jin army's defense line seemed a little shaken. Soldiers who were constantly hit by catapults, bows and arrows and crossbow bolts were quickly carried down, and new ones were immediately on top.
Sixty-seven eight-stone bull-running crossbows were fired non-stop at the front, firing again and again at these wooden armored mechs. However, this magical weapon, which was like a thunderous thunder to deal with the intensive charging infantry, was not able to hit these wooden armored robots.
In front of the A machine man, it seems not so effective. At a distance of a hundred steps, a crossbow gun will be blocked by the big wooden rafts they hold. Some of the wooden rafts have already inserted three or four such crossbow guns.
.
With a "Peng" sound, a crossbow shot finally hit the leg of a wooden armored machine man. It hit it exactly on the thigh, and the three-edged barb pierced into the wooden leg.
Above, a burst of cheers erupted from the Jin army's array. This crossbow was the first among dozens of eight-stone running bull crossbows to hit the wooden armored machine man's body. It was extremely difficult.
People were chanting: "Fall down, fall down, fall down!"
But they were soon disappointed. The wooden armored machine man shook violently a few times, and suddenly the long arm of his right arm was thrust into the ground, just like a living person holding a long weapon, and he immediately regained his balance.
The soldiers of the Chu army behind the two wooden armored men rushed forward and quickly cut off the exposed limbs with a big ax, ignoring the flying spear points that had penetrated into the wooden legs. Soon,
The wooden armor machine man straightened up again and fired at the Jin army's camp again.
Taking advantage of this gap, six to seven hundred soldiers of the Chu army rushed out with shouts from the gaps between dozens of wooden armored mechas. A line of infantrymen holding shields and spears, wearing leather armor and mail armor, stood on top of them.
In front, more than 300 archers took the opportunity to follow behind. As they walked, they fired bows and arrows diagonally upwards. In conjunction with the wave of arrows from the wooden armored machine men, they hit the Jin army's shield behind the wooden fence.
, there was a "crackling" sound, and the shields of these shields soon had hundreds of arrows stuck in them, and the same number of broken arrows that fell to the ground after breaking off the arrows, adding up to already
There are as many as three to four thousand branches.
The infantry of the Chu army, using the cover of these bows and crossbows, advanced forty or fifty steps, and were already less than fifty steps away from the camp gate of the Jin army. On the ground here, there were four to five hundred Chu soldiers and soldiers lying on the ground.
The corpses of the Qiang and Di tribesmen were scattered all over the place, and their flesh and blood were blurred. Some of them were in clusters of two or three, and they were directly pierced by a flying tree. They just stood and died on the spot, which made people look pale.
The infantry of the Chu army also slowed down. Their voices became louder and louder, but their steps became smaller and smaller. Obviously, in the few charges just now, they had fully witnessed the Jin army's eight-stone running for the bull.
The crossbow is powerful, but the sharpness of the initial impact was also dampened.
In the Jin army's formation, there was a sudden burst of rapid bangs and whistles. The shields behind the camp fence suddenly flipped over, and more than a hundred sergeants holding powerful crossbows ran out from behind the shields. From the gap in the fence,
In the middle, towards the outside of the formation, a burst of crossbow bolts were fired.
The black crossbow bolts, like a violent storm, suddenly passed through the Chu army's infantry line. Sixty or seventy people fell in front of them. At such a close distance, the small round shield could not block such a powerful crossbow attack, and some shields were even damaged.
The soldier was cut in half, and the soldier behind him was still killed by the crossbow bolt, and he fell to the sky.
The Chu army sergeants behind them dispersed in a hurry, turned around and ran back. Soon, only thirty or so wooden armored machine men were left, and they continued to fire at the same place.
After completing this wave of shooting, the Jin army's crossbowmen quickly retreated to their own shields, and the shields flipped over, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Lingxiu sighed and looked back behind him. The launching nest was empty, the arms were hanging in the air, and the dozen catapults were shaking slightly up and down. He said, "It's a pity that the stones in the catapults and throwing poles are all gone."
Otherwise, how can we allow these wooden armored machine men to be so arrogant?! If these things were gone, the enemy's infantry would kill as many as they came!"
Tan Daoji said calmly: "We were dispatched suddenly, and we did not have all the weapons, especially long-range weapons, stones, etc., which were seriously insufficient. Now the demon thieves have gathered all the wooden armored mechs here.
,besides…………"
Having said this, he turned his head and looked to the left and right. Three hundred steps outside the camp fence, smoke and dust were billowing, and the sound of horses neighing and people roaring could be heard, sometimes far and sometimes near. Occasionally, some bows and arrows shot out of the smoke and landed on the fence.
Inside, and along the fence line, there were only a sparse group of more than 200 people, guarding each side. Most of them squatted low behind the shield, with their long spears placed on the ground. Only a few sharp-eyed observers were left behind, a hundred paces behind.
Outside, he waved the command flag to tell the soldiers behind the shield in front what the battle situation was like outside.
Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth: "The thieves actually have cavalry. However, after fighting for half an hour, they are still only running back and forth and not attacking the gate. This must be their suspected soldier."
Tan Daoji sighed: "Of course, their momentum is not small, but I expect that there will be at most five or six hundred cavalry, and no more than eight hundred cavalry. This small force, and they are not heavily armored cavalry, will not dare to force the gate of our military camp.
Just continue to leave a few hundred people to defend like this. The focus of the enemy's attack is still the front of our army. It will be dark in half an hour. As long as we hold on until the light is turned on at night, the day's war will be over.
The demon thieves will definitely not dare to continue attacking at night and will withdraw their troops. And by tomorrow, our reinforcements may arrive on the battlefield, so if we grit our teeth and hold on for another half hour until dark, we will win!"
Zhu Lingxiu frowned: "It's just that now we not only have no catapults, but we also don't have many bows and crossbows. The eight-stone running oxen crossbows are about to be used up, and there are only five thousand bows and arrows left. If the enemy forces attack them in large numbers,
We are afraid that our bows and arrows cannot stop us from attacking. Are we ready to enter hand-to-hand combat?"
