Waiting for Li Hui, Le Bao, Yang Wu and other Shang Shui soldiers from the first battalion to step onto the city wall for the second time and take over the defensive positions of the friendly forces. It was already approaching dusk, but the Jiejiao slave soldiers outside the city were still working tirelessly.
Attempt to climb the city wall.
Oh my god...
After stepping onto the city wall, Li Hui looked around and secretly exclaimed, because he found that the city wall was covered with corpses, and there was almost no space for them to stand.
The soldiers of the Second Battalion who were still fighting bloody battles were struggling to prevent the Jiejiao slave soldiers from attacking the city wall, while transporting the corpses of friendly troops into the city. After the battle was over, they burned the corpses and transported the ashes back to Shang.
Water County.
As for the corpses of the slave soldiers, the soldiers of the Second Battalion simply regarded them as wooden messengers and threw them outside the city one by one, smashing down the slave soldiers who tried to climb the city wall.
Not to mention inhumane, in fact this is the cruelty of the battlefield: in order to win, you must do whatever it takes!
"The second battalion retreats! Retreat to the city! Retreat to the city!"
Ran Teng, a general with a thousand men, stepped up to the city wall and shouted loudly, ordering the second battalion to change defenses with the first battalion. Soldiers from the first battalion such as Li Hui, Yang Wu, Le Bao, etc. quickly stepped forward to take over the friendly troops from the second battalion.
positions, replacing those exhausted friendly troops.
"Be fast!"
"Both battalions and battalions go down! Get off the city wall!"
"Take the wounded away!"
Each battalion's thousand-man generals, five-hundred-man generals, and hundred-man generals began to take over command.
The corpses of Shangshui soldiers who died in the battle were quickly carried to the city walls, while the wounded who still had a breath of life were quickly brought to the city for treatment to stop the bleeding. The herbal ointments of the Yi people may be able to save the lives of many of them.
The casualties of the Second Division Battalion...were more than ours.
During the change of defense, Li Hui looked around and found to his surprise that the Second Battalion suffered much more casualties than their First Battalion, which made him feel incredible.
After all, according to common sense, the Jiejiao slave soldiers faced by their battalion were opponents with strong physical strength and high fighting spirit.
At this time, an old pawn with an arrow stuck in his left shoulder walked past Li Hui.
Hmm? Arrows?
Li Hui stared blankly at the arrow on the veteran's shoulder. After all, slave soldiers did not have such advanced weapons as bows and arrows.
Perhaps the veteran noticed that Li Hui was sizing him up. He paused for a moment and warned in a hoarse voice: "Be careful of the Jiejiao cavalry! ... Those beasts are no different from those bastard generals in our hometown."
After that, the veteran patted Li Hui on the shoulder and walked down the city wall without looking back.
……What's the meaning?
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Hui's eyes.
At this moment, Ran Teng, a thousand-man general, chatted a few words in a low voice with a thousand-man general from the second battalion, and then shouted loudly to both sides. The words he shouted answered Li Hui's doubts.
"Soldiers, be careful, be on guard against the Jiejiao cavalry using longbows to attack!... Soldiers, beware, beware of the Jijiao cavalry using longbows to attack!"
Did the Jiejiao Cavalry participate in the attack?
Li Hui subconsciously looked outside the city, and sure enough, he saw that more than a hundred feet away from the city, several Jiejiao cavalry were riding their horses in a circle, and were quickly heading towards the west city wall.
Ran Teng, a general with thousands of troops, apparently noticed this scene and shouted sternly: "Beware of arrow attacks! Beware of arrow attacks! ...The shield bearer protects Tongze!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Jiejiao cavalry outside the city approaching the west city wall. They quickly turned a corner and ran parallel to the west city wall. Taking this opportunity, they drew their long bows and fired a wave towards the city wall. Rain of arrows.
It was a really continuous rain of arrows. Those Jiejiao cavalry galloping around in circles seemed to only shoot arrows when they met a certain condition - parallel to the west city wall and within range. And this weird tactic, although the number of arrows in a single period of time is not too many, but the victory lies in the continuous flow, which simply makes the Shangshui soldiers on the city wall even have no room to raise their heads.
"Aren't those guys afraid of accidentally killing friendly troops..."
Together with Jiao Zhong, a soldier from Wu Nei who was also a shield bearer, they used their shields to protect Li Hui, Le Bao, and Jiao Meng. Yang Wu cursed.
But what he witnessed next made him shut up in silence.
Yes, those Jiejiao cavalry outside the city didn't care at all about the life or death of the slave soldiers who were still climbing the city wall. The arrows they fired were indifferent to the enemy and ourselves.
This scene is extremely familiar to most veterans of the Shang Shui Army.
I remember that when they were under the command of Lord Xiong Tuo of Yangcheng, the generals of Chu State were like this, not caring about their life or death at all.
"(Chu language) These beasts!"
Not far away, a soldier cursed in a low voice in the Chu dialect. He didn't know whether he was cursing the Jiejiao cavalry outside the city or the Chu general who led them and didn't treat them as human beings. them.
Damn thing!
Do you think this can damage the morale of our army?!
Stop looking down on other people!
The Shang Shui soldiers on the city wall were filled with anger.
Maybe they will be defeated by an enemy army one day, but it will never be this kind of bastard who ignores their own casualties!
"You guys, suppress these Jiejiao slave soldiers and let the Jiejiao people see the backbone of me, Chu Xierlang!"
In the distance, the angry shouts of two thousand general Yi Jia could be heard.
After hearing this, the soldiers of Shangshui, who were filled with anger, no longer avoided the rain of arrows, but braved the rain of arrows to block the outside of the city wall, killing those Jiejiao slave soldiers who were still trying to attack the city wall. Deadly suppressed on the outer edge.
"boom--"
Another piece of increased wooden wall was pushed down on the city wall by the Jiejiao slave soldiers. This made another piece of the increased wooden wall on the city wall missing, and there was almost not much left.
But this did not damage the morale of the Shangshui soldiers who were filled with anger at this moment.
Is it just a matter of fighting with the enemy under a hail of arrows?
The battlefield that Chu Xierlang has experienced has never been one in which he was attacked from both sides!
"Force them down!"
Ran Teng, the thousand-man general, pointed his finger at a group of slave soldiers who had climbed up the city wall, and shouted sternly.
In just a few moments of meeting each other, the group of about twenty slave soldiers were quickly killed by the Shang Shui soldiers on both sides.
Moreover, for a long period of time afterwards, the Jiejiao slave soldiers, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, were unable to climb onto the city wall again.
Although part of the reason for this situation was that the Jiejiao cavalry outside the city shot down many slave soldiers who climbed onto the city wall with arrows, you must know that the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army also risked the Jiejiao cavalry. Rain of arrows.
The situation of both is the same!
It can only be said that the strength that the Shang Shui Army broke out at this moment was enough to make both the Dangshan Army and the Chenggao Army look at them!
The stupid Jiejiao people used stupid tactics to anger these Shangshui soldiers who were from Chuxi and had experienced such unfair treatment for a long time!
"Bang bang bang..."
The shield soldiers of the Shang Shui Army used their shields to block the gap in the city wall. They used shields, armor, and flesh and blood to create a high wall that was insurmountable for the Jiejiao slave soldiers.
Behind the shield soldiers, some of the remaining Shangshui soldiers used long spears to assist in the battle, while others quickly picked up the enemy corpses on the ground, used them as rolling logs and rolling stones, and threw them to the outside of the city wall, knocking down one
Another enemy soldier attempts to climb the city wall.
Are these soldiers... crazy? They actually ignored the rain of arrows above their heads...
A Sheng soldier who came up to the city wall to investigate the situation looked at the scene on the city wall in surprise. He really couldn't figure out why these Wei soldiers were all going crazy.
However, after being stunned for a moment, he immediately remembered his mission, squeezed to the outer edge of the city wall, and peeked at the position of the Jiejiao Cavalry outside the city.
Not long after, the Yi warriors in the city also launched a counterattack with longbows.
At the same time, on the high slope in the southwest corner of Luocheng City, under the battle flags of the Nahu tribe and the Yanjiao Army, there were two teams of several hundred people each, quietly watching this tragic siege battle.
Among them, the two people at the front of their respective teams had even more solemn expressions.
One of these two people was Erdemo, a leader of the Yi tribe, and the other was Ulu Batu, the commander of the Yanjiao Army of the Wusu Palace Guards.
"(In Shen language) What do you think of this battle, young Captain Yanjiao?"
Glancing at Ulu Batu, the captain next to him who looked to be in his twenties, Erdemo asked solemnly.
Ulu Batu exhaled slowly and said in a low voice: "(In Shen language) Wei's army... is far stronger than we imagined."
"(In the language of the Yi people) Yes, who would have thought that? Bitatu mobilized 20 to 300,000 people, but was blocked outside Luocheng by less than 30,000 people. They fought hard for more than an hour.
, and they didn’t even attack the city wall..." Erdemo said with emotion on his face.
"(In Shen language) No, those barbarian slaves have already attacked the city wall, but..." Ulu Batu said something fair, then turned his attention to the west wall of Luocheng, and added with a strange expression: "
But, somehow, it seems to have angered the Wei army..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Erdemo and asked tentatively: "(in the language of the Yi tribe), what are the plans of the Yi tribe for this Wei army? Are you going to assist Bitatu?"
"(In the language of the Yi people) please spare me." Erdemo heard this and smiled bitterly: "The Wujiao tribe has been surrendered by an army of tens of thousands of Wei cavalry (referring to the Dangshan army that robbed the Jiejiao cavalry horses).
It was destroyed, and all the tribesmen and sheep were killed. Moreover, it is said that those Wei people even left a bloody note saying that those who helped Jie Jiao died! This is the revenge of the Wei people. The Wei people have never been docile.
lamb."
After saying that, Erdemo shook his head again and said seriously: "The Wei people in Luocheng formed the Luoshui Alliance in accordance with Wu Xu's oath, and recruited the Qiang from Luocheng, and the Qiang two tribes worked for him. See
Come on, the treatment given by King Su of the Wei State should be quite generous, otherwise, those fellow tribesmen in Luocheng would not serve the Wei people so wholeheartedly... Since the Wei people have chosen to live in harmony with our Sanchuan tribe
, I will not be stupid enough to be an enemy of such a powerful army."
"(The language of the Yi people) really doesn't sound like something a Jie person would say."
"(In the language of the Yi tribe) Hehe, not every Jie tribe is warlike? Our Yi tribe will only point its weapons at those real enemies."
"(In the language of the Yi people), the real enemy?" Ulu Batu frowned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "Hu? Qiang? Ba? Or... Qin, which is said to be preparing for external expansion?"
Erdemo took a long breath, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "(In the language of the Yi people) Wei State, to the east, there is the large land of the Song State that was destroyed. Their control of the land is
The demand is not very urgent, but Qin, like the Wei people who migrated from Longxi hundreds of years ago, is eager to open up new territories..."
It turned out to be Qin...
Ulu Batu, the captain of the Yanjiao Army, was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
