The first thousand three hundred and fifty-two chapters continue to fish
Chapter 1352 Continue fishing
The rain of bullets continued, and the soldiers on the city wall continued to flee in confusion towards the bottom of the city wall. In the end, only dead bodies were left all over the city wall, which was extremely tragic.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the soldiers escaping from the city wall in embarrassment, Armstad was also a little confused. He was driven down by the enemy before anything happened, which made him a little confused.
"General, the enemy's trebuchets have started again. Our brothers can't resist it, so they can only temporarily go down the city wall to escape."
A school captain, covered in blood, came to Armsda's side with one arm hanging down, and told the situation on the city wall.
"No matter how hard it is, I'm still being plotted by the other party."
After hearing this situation, Amstal realized that he had been plotted by the other party. The Chinese people were really dogs. They actually fished for him. It was so abominable.
"General, what should we do now?"
The captain of the guard next to Amstal glanced at the other party. Now that the other party wanted to fish, he was in a dilemma whether he could get up to the city wall. He didn't know what to do.
"The soldiers who have withdrawn from the city wall seize the time to prepare. The whole army is waiting until the enemy approaches."
Amstal also frowned. Now that the Chinese are so stupid, he also has a headache. The only thing they can do now is to wait until the enemy is close enough that the enemy's stone throwing will cause accidental damage.
The city wall goes to war with the opponent.
"yes."
After hearing Amstal's order, the soldiers who had just come down from the city wall also looked for their superiors and began to regroup and prepare to fight again.
"What should we do now?"
Seeing that the enemy's city wall was empty again, the 30,000 elite soldiers under the city wall were hesitant and didn't know what to do.
"General, what should the former army do now?"
He was hesitating in front of him, but the people around Jiang Qin behind him were directly clasping fists at him.
"The front army continues to move forward. I want to see if they can hold back from climbing the city wall."
Jiang Qin glanced at the city wall. Since this was the case, he sent his soldiers to move forward to see if they could pull out the enemy.
"promise."
Jiang Qin's flag was fluttering on the commander's platform, instructing the soldiers in the front row to continue moving forward to attack the city wall.
"Keep moving forward."
Seeing the flag of the commander, the captains in the front row who were in charge of the command did not hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to continue forward and feint attack towards the city wall.
"General, their soldiers and horses under the city wall have moved forward again. They are now less than a hundred steps away."
The observation post, lying in a pool of blood, saw that the Chinese army under the city wall began to move forward again, and came directly to report to Armstad.
"Wait, no one is allowed to go to the city, wait until they are closer to the city wall."
Hearing what the observation post said, Amsda was completely put on his back. Your trebuchet is very powerful. Okay, I won't play with you. Then I'll wait until you get closer and fight without the support of the trebuchet.
"Fifty steps."
Without any obstruction, the Chinese soldiers advanced very quickly, reaching a distance of fifty steps.
"Waiting."
Amstal gritted his teeth. The distance of fifty steps was still a bit dangerous. He was waiting, waiting.
"Fifty steps, Colonel."
Here the critical value of fifty steps was reached, and the soldier also looked at the captain.
The captain also knew this situation, but it was not something he could decide, so he turned his attention to the handsome platform behind him.
Jiang Qin was a little hesitant when he saw the situation in front of him. What was going on and what should he do?
Should we continue the feint attack, or should we retreat immediately?
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Seeing Jiang Qin like this, Tian Feng frowned. Compared with the veteran generals of the Jizhou Army, Jiang Qin was still a bit immature.
Since your first thought was a feint attack, and now you can't catch any fish, you should retreat decisively. This hesitation will only put the soldiers in more danger under the city wall.
"promise."
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Jiang Qin knew that he had done something wrong and directly ordered the troops to retreat.
"Dang Dang Dang."
The sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the sky, and when the soldiers in the front row heard the sound, they turned around one after another and began to evacuate the Marakanda city wall and retreat to the back.
"General, the enemy has withdrawn."
The observation post saw the Chinese army retreating and ran directly down the city wall to report the situation to Amsdal.
"The enemy has withdrawn?"
Hearing the news, Amstal was also stunned. He didn't expect that the enemy still wanted to fish, but luckily he held back.
"The whole army continues to wait in case the other party makes a sneak attack."
Even though this was the case, Amstal did not dare to let down his guard. If the other party tried to steal the chicken and he was unprepared, he would be doomed.
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?"
Jiang Qin looked at the still empty city wall and didn't know what to do.
"what to do?
Put on the soft shield, cooperate with the truck, and prepare to continue attacking the city wall."
Tian Feng glanced at Jiang Qin. The current situation was that the opponent knew that his siege equipment was powerful and did not dare to show his head. Therefore, if he wanted to lure them out, he could only spend a lot of money.
"What do you mean, Prime Minister, continue fishing after getting close to the wall?"
Hearing that Tian Feng wanted to change to a soft shield, Jiang Qin immediately understood what the other party meant. A soft shield can minimize the damage of stone bullets.
If you really get under the city wall, the enemy will definitely send troops and horses to the city. Then you can protect yourself while killing a large number of the opponent's effective forces.
"Well, our mission now is to destroy the enemy's effective forces to the maximum extent. If fishing really fails, we can only use nightmares."
Tian Feng nodded. The current situation is like this. His goal is not to take down the city wall, but to destroy the enemy's effective strength to the maximum extent. If it was just to destroy the city, he would have used Nightmare.
"I see."
Jiang Qin glanced at Tian Feng. Since the other party confirmed his thoughts, he understood what to do.
The army withdrew, and the logistics department also took out the soft shields that had been prepared long ago and divided them among the five shooting armies. Then the 30,000-strong army held iron shields and carried soft shields on their backs, pushing a scaffolding truck again.
Charge to the walls of Maracanda.
"General, the enemy has launched another attack, and this time the truck has also come out."
The observation post glanced at the Chinese army that was attacking again, and directly reported the news to Amstal under the city wall.
"Are all the cars here coming?"
After hearing the news, Amsterdam understood that the Chinese might be serious this time, otherwise they would definitely not send the truck over.
"That's right."
The observation post nodded. This time the other party might really take action.
"Command the whole army to prepare for battle."
Armstad directly gave orders to the soldiers around him, ready to fight at any time.
This time, accompanied by carriages, the army advanced at a slower pace, but there were no soldiers on the opposite city wall to block them. They still marched without any disturbance, and directly reached the vicinity of the city wall.
"Archers prepare."
The archers on the carriages were also preparing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any enemies that might appear on the city wall.
"Two hundred steps."
The observation post went down to the city again and sent news to Armstad.
"Wait until the enemy takes fifty, no, thirty steps before reporting back."
Watching the observation post reporting one after another, Armstad also frowned. His reporting was not only useless, but would make his soldiers more anxious. It was better not to report than to report like this.
"As commanded."
After hearing Amsdar's words, the observation post nodded and ran up the city wall again.
As time went on, the 30,000-strong army pushing the carts had arrived fifty steps away from the city wall. Seeing that the enemy had not yet appeared, the army continued to move forward. At the same time, the trebuchets at the rear were ready to be launched at any time.
"Thirty steps, General, thirty steps."
The observation post came to the bottom of the city wall again and reported to Armstad.
"The whole army is ready to climb up the city wall in twenty steps."
After hearing this, Armstad gave the order directly and marched twenty steps to the city to start the battle.
All the soldiers were also prepared, and the distance of ten steps was quickly reached.
"Twenty steps."
"Go up to the city wall with the archers, followed by the swordsmen and shieldmen, followed by the spearmen."
When he heard that the twenty steps had arrived, Armstad directly gave the order to go to the city.
"kill."
"Go ahead."
"Kill the Chinese."
The Kushan army, which had long been impatient, did not hesitate and rushed towards the city wall with a roar.
"The enemy is coming up. The archers on the carriages suppress the opponent. All the soldiers put on soft shields and prepare to resist the attack of the trebuchet."
Seeing the enemy appear on the city wall, the captain in charge gave an order directly, instructing the archers on the carriages to suppress the enemy, and then ordered the soldiers to change to soft shields and prepare for the trebuchet attack.
Each soldier hung the iron shield behind his back, and at the same time took the soft shield behind his back in his hand, blocked it above his head, and continued to attack forward.
Although the archers on the carriages suppressed the enemies who climbed up the city wall, there were too many people on the other side and they could not be killed. They still continued to pass through the stairs and climbed to the top of the city wall.
"Fire arrows to kill the soldiers below the city. Where are the shield bearers to protect the archers?"
The captain who climbed the city wall saw the current situation and no longer cared about the archers on the carriage. Their mission now was to kill the soldiers under the city wall as much as possible.
For a moment, bows and arrows rained down from the sky, falling directly into the Chinese army.
The Chinese army under the city wall has long been prepared, and the soft shields have been raised high. Although the soft shields are specially prepared for the stone bullets of the trebuchet, they also have a certain degree of defense against bows and arrows. They will not be directly hit like paper.
The opponent is defeated.
As the second wave of soldiers who came up, the sword and shield bearers of the Kushan Army raised their shields in front of the archers to help them resist the attacks of the archers on the carriages.
With the protection of the shield, the archers can attack the enemies under the city more confidently. For a moment, arrows rain down, causing maximum damage to the Chinese soldiers.
"The entire army retreats."
The captain saw more and more enemies on the city wall, and directly ordered the soldiers to retreat, because he knew that his trebuchet would show its power next.
The Chinese army began to slowly retreat backwards, and at the same time Louche also retreated behind the main army.
"Trebuchet, launch."
Sure enough, when Yuan Wei saw the arrival, he did not hesitate and directly ordered the trebuchet to fire shotguns.
He knew that his soldiers were equipped with soft shields. Although they could not completely resist the trebuchet attack, they were somewhat stronger than the enemies on the city wall.
Moreover, they were twenty steps away from the city wall, so there were no casualties, but certainly not too many.
For a moment, there was a continuous sound of machines collapsing, and countless scattered bullets rose into the sky and flew towards the city wall of Maracanda.
