The first thousand four hundred and ninety-four chapters two hundred strange dead
The same storyline was repeated on this small mountain trail of less than 200 steps. The trail was dyed red with blood. You could even see the bright red liquid flowing and hear the ticking sound.
Li Shanfei's men, who had just formed an army within the Far East Army's organizational structure and were performing their first combat mission, advanced step by step towards the first checkpoint and then advanced again at the cost of their lives.
Li Hu finally saw the centurion of the Far Eastern Army who was the first to set foot on this road fall down - about twenty steps away from the checkpoint, he was shot by a sharp archer under his command.
He was hit in the throat and fell down. Seeing the centurion leader staring at him and falling straight down like this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief. It seemed that the annoyance suppressed in his heart followed the Far Eastern Army.
The centurions fell and many of them disappeared.
"Get ready for battle!" As soon as he breathed out, he felt the entire level shake. This was because the soldiers from the Far East rushed up and hit the wall.
Due to the topography of the terrain, although Huangshi Village built three checkpoints in front of the main stronghold, they are not very high. Most of them are only about two or three feet high. However, since the attacker needs to attack from above, the difficulty is comparable to that of attacking three or four feet high.
Of course, the checkpoint wall is far from as strong as the city wall.
People were crowded under the checkpoint wall, and the rolling stone had completely lost its effect. Li Hu picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms, stood on the wall with a grin, and yelled: "Smash them hard!"
Just after he finished shouting, before he could throw the stone out of his hand, there were a few whoosh sounds, and the sound of breaking through the air came from below. Li Hu felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and the stone in his hand fell from his hand, and there was a muffled sound.
, Li Hu turned over and fell down, and three feather arrows missed his face.
He jumped up and pulled out the arrow stuck in the armor of his right arm. Blood spurted out. Li Hu couldn't help but take a breath. The Far Eastern Army's rapid-fire crossbows indeed lived up to their reputation. The crossbows were so fast.
And they are all continuous shots, which means that within a certain distance, every Far Eastern Army soldier equipped with a fast crossbow is equivalent to a sharp archer who can shoot continuous shots.
If he hadn't been highly skilled in martial arts and had taken precautions just now, and if his reaction had been slower for an instant, he would have been shot to death by the opponent's fast crossbow in a daze.
The wall of the checkpoint is not high. Although it is an attack from above, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who came up completely gave up their own protection and rained down crossbow arrows on the city with their fast crossbows. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army had excellent armor defense.
, can block ordinary arrows, making them less likely to suffer casualties from enemy bows and arrows on the level.
But they couldn't block the stones at such a distance anyway. Each soldier fired nine arrows from his quick crossbow, and then he would be thrown to the ground by stones or rolling logs, and could never get up again. But above the level, Li
Hu's men also began to suffer large casualties, because Li Hu was able to dodge continuous crossbow arrows, but ordinary soldiers did not have this strength, and their armor could not block the Far Eastern Army's crossbow arrows at all.
Having learned the lesson of his first brush with death, Li Hu no longer dared to be careless. He hid behind the wall, raised his strong bow, aimed at the Far Eastern soldiers under the city, and fired his arrows one by one.
Li Hu's skills are extremely superb. Although the armor of the Far Eastern Army soldiers is extremely defensive and they have low-brow helmets to protect their faces, they cannot protect their throats. Every arrow of Li Hu goes straight to the face of the throat. If he shoots an arrow, he will take it away.
A human life.
The number of corpses under the city gradually increased, and Li Hu also paid the price of nearly two hundred people.
The buzzing sound startled Li Hu. He knew that in the past, the government had such giant crossbows at the top of the city or on the gates, but under the city gates and in such terrain, how could the opponent have giant guns and crossbows?
He stood up, and after just one glance, he felt chilled all over. It turned out that this kind of giant crossbow could be used in this way, and unusual giant crossbows could not be used in this way.
A dozen Far Eastern Army infantrymen carried the giant guns and crossbows on their shoulders. The people in front knelt down, and the people behind stood up straight, forming an artificial platform. The giant guns and crossbows had a stable shooting surface. Look
Looking at the Far Eastern Army's unique three-shot short crossbow and gun, Li Hu felt a little frightened.
He suddenly opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a whoosh, he shot down a soldier holding a giant gun and crossbow on a corner. But as soon as the soldier fell, a person next to him immediately stepped in and raised the giant gun and crossbow again.
, at the same time, several large shields were erected, blocking the soldiers carrying the crossbows.
The buzzing sound was rapid and loud. Li Hu subconsciously shrank his neck, and three short crossbows were heard in a row. The guns grazed the top of the city wall and shot up. Five Wagang Army soldiers who could not escape screamed.
Amidst the sound, the one who was shot flew backwards and landed far behind the checkpoint wall.
The sound of "dong-dong" was endless, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent set up three giant guns and crossbows in front of the checkpoint, short crossbows as thick as a child's arms. The guns were inserted fiercely into the city wall. Then,
There were soldiers from the Far Eastern Army who were like apes, holding their swords in their mouths, alternating their hands, and climbing up on the short crossbows and gun shafts that were inserted into the wall.
For the first time, a close-quarters hand-to-hand combat occurred above the level. Although the first Far Eastern Army soldier to climb up was quickly hacked to death on top of the city, it represented the beginning of the wall-to-wall hand-to-hand combat phase of the siege.

From behind, Shen Guoer saw the heavy casualties among Li Shanfei's men. She glanced at the two hundred people following Wang Junlin, wearing black armor and black masks, only revealing a pair of eyes with extremely indifferent expressions, and stopped talking.
She was the only person present who knew the origins of these two hundred people, and she also knew that these two hundred people were originally brought by her prince to attack strong cities such as Huangshi Village and Fengyang City.
That's right, Wang Junlin brought two hundred dead warriors who were personally trained by Nie Xiaoyu. They were all very powerful martial arts masters, and all of them had reached the stagnation stage. They were the kind of martial arts masters who were proficient in killing people on the battlefield.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the armor these people wear is completely different from the soldiers of today. They wear a kind of steel armor tactical vest with many pockets and places to hang things. The bulging bodies are unknown.
How many things have they brought? And how to use this kind of thing and how to bring maximum damage, they have completely mastered it.
When Wang Junlin brought these people here a few days ago, Wei Zheng, Li Shanfei, Li Jing and others naturally noticed that these people were different from ordinary soldiers, but they were all smart people and knew that there were some things that Wang Junlin didn't say, so it wouldn't be easy.
They asked, but their hearts were full of doubts, but they still didn't know that these people were prepared by Wang Junlin for Huangshi Village and Fengyang City.
