Although the Danyang soldiers are highly organized and have strong combat effectiveness, they cannot fly up to the city wall after all. Unless the four long ladders behind them can build up the city wall, or the rushing car can knock open the palace gate.
He Jin forced the foreign troops to take the lead, but he didn't let them die in vain. At any rate, he rose to the position of general step by step, actually rising from the bottom, and he was no stranger to how to use troops. In Yuan Shu and other companies,
After the private soldiers formed a queue and approached the city wall, He Jin sent the Shengsheng Battalion to follow behind. On the one hand, it provided long-range support to the infantry in front, and on the other hand, it also served as a supervisory team to force the troops in front to fight hard.
In an ordinary army, those who can shoot three-stone bows can be considered elites, but in the Shesheng Battalion, there are many soldiers who can shoot three-stone strong bows. When they lined up in a neat queue and began to approach, Chen Cheng glanced at
He noticed these armored crossbowmen. His best weapon was bows and arrows, so he naturally paid special attention to the enemy's long-range strike power.
"Hey, coming up are the Danyang soldiers and the Shesheng camp. He Jin's capital is quite high!"
Chen Cheng drew his bow again and shot at the Danyang soldiers who had formed a battle formation. This time he no longer tested, but aimed at the gap accidentally exposed by the enemy. The arrow penetrated through the gap in the shield, shooting inside
The soldier's thigh was shot through. Amidst the screams, a soldier fell to the ground, revealing a huge gap.
Although the Danyang soldiers on the side immediately filled the gap, Yueqi, who had been waiting at the top of the city for a long time, took the opportunity to shoot down several enemies. Seeing that he could make an effective counterattack on the top of the city, Ji Ling immediately called out
Drinking, the Danyang soldiers stopped their advance and began to erect wooden rafts on the spot to block the arrows on the city top.
Chen Cheng held the bow in his hand and ordered: "Put up the curtain!"
The curtains that had just been completed were pushed up, like dark clouds. Chen Cheng continued to order: "Let the eunuchs and maids move the stones and wood to the bottom of the city wall."
The palace originally did not have these things, but as long as some pavilions and pavilions are demolished, everything will be there. If pressed, he can even demolish the palace, let alone the pavilions outside.
The commander who spoke earlier hesitated and said: "General, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. The palace is so big that sooner or later we will not be able to defend it. Why not..."
Chen Cheng was silent for a while and said: "Then we have to get He Jin to agree to pardon us. Hey, it sounds like we have really done something heinous."
The commander of the village felt relieved after hearing his words. He turned around and shouted to his subordinates to prepare for battle.
Seeing the general's power, the soldiers had other thoughts. If his commanding ability was slightly worse, he would be kidnapped immediately. Chen Cheng sighed in his heart, he was in the wrong position at the wrong time.
In the wrong place, on the wrong battlefield with the wrong opponent!
He himself has nothing to do. At worst, he will wait until dark and leave. But none of the soldiers around him will survive. Even if He Jin can pardon Yue Qiying, can he pardon him, the culprit and the people around him?
People?
Sixty steps outside the city, wooden platoons were being erected in sections, and several ladder trucks, surrounded by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, were approaching the city wall. The attacking army chose four places to attack together.
I was determined to win it in one fell swoop by relying on superior strength.
The Yueqi and the Xiyuan Army on the city took action together, firing their bows and crossbows, and nailed all the soldiers near the ladder truck to the ground. The soldiers who were exposed were shot to death, but several ladder trucks were still moving forward slowly.
In the small space inside the ladder, more than a dozen soldiers were naked and pushing with all their might.
The huge wooden wheels rolled across the bluestone ground, leaving obvious marks. Even without the help of soldiers outside, the people inside could push the ladder truck forward. Faced with such a turtle shell, Chen Cheng
Immediately let the soldiers light grease behind the battlements and use rockets to deal with them.
He himself picked up the Sunset Bow and faced the armored crossbowman who had approached to a distance of eighty paces. Even at a distance of eighty paces, the arrows fired by Te were still astonishingly accurate and powerful. He was shot
Even if the person killed is not killed on the spot, he will immediately lose his combat effectiveness.
Chen Cheng opened the bow leisurely, aiming carefully before each shot, and adjusting his aim according to the trajectory of the arrow. As a result, his hit rate was terrifyingly high, as long as he dared to stand still
, and those who were not holding leather signs were all shot down by him as if he was calling them by name.
Seeing the crossbowmen of Shesheng Battalion being shot down one by one, Captain Shesheng immediately stopped his plan to let his soldiers move forward. The armored crossbowmen spread out on the spot, with a wide distance between them.
The crossbowmen ignored the arrows fired from the top of the city, sat down on the ground, and kicked away the crossbows.
Several crossbowmen screamed and were nailed to the ground. The remaining people were unmoved and quickly put the crossbow arrows on, aimed at the city head, and then fired a volley at the officer's order. The sound of shooting
The crossbows used by the soldiers of the battalion weighed six stones. Although they could only shoot directly, they were very powerful. With just one salvo, seven or eight people fell screaming on the top of the city. If it were not for the cover of the curtain, the number of casualties would have been much higher.
At least double it.
Fortunately, although the crossbow is very powerful, it is very troublesome to cock it. The more powerful the crossbow, the longer it takes to cock it. In the gap between the crossbowmen's cocking, Yueqi leaned out from the top of the city,
Arrows fell like raindrops on the position of the crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion.
From time to time, crossbowmen were pinned to the ground by arrows falling from the sky. The bows used by Yueqi were no more than three stones, and they could not kill with one strike like Chen Cheng. Many crossbowmen from the Shesheng Battalion were still alive and were wailing on the ground.
Howling. The expressions of the soldiers waiting at the rear changed drastically. They originally thought that this counterinsurgency was to pick up some bargains and rob happily, but they never knew that the enemy on the opposite side was so cruel and did not care about the friendship between their former comrades.
Many soldiers ran to the position of the strong crossbowmen with empty hands, dragging the crossbowmen in their hands back. Chen Cheng opened his bow and set his sights on an empty-handed enemy. He hesitated for a second, and then let go
Amidst the sound of fingers and bow strings vibrating, the soldier on the opposite side was shaken and fell to the ground immediately, dead.
He held a moment of silence for the enemy for less than a tenth of a second, thinking: I'm sorry.
He Jin watched silently as his soldiers were cut down like straw, and several generals around him were already cursing.
"Shameless!"
"You damn thief," one of the generals shouted loudly, "General, after the city is broken, not a single rebel inside can be left alive!"
Other generals agreed one after another. They may not really want to kill everyone inside, but being on a battlefield that is like Shura Hell, they naturally have murderous intentions.
The crossbowmen finally finished cocking the bow, then loaded the crossbow bolts, and then pointed Wangshan at the top of the city. From above, the officers shouted loudly, "Be careful to avoid!"
The soldiers who were shooting arrows immediately hid behind the battlements, and then heard a sound like a rainstorm. Densely packed short crossbow arrows were fired over, and several soldiers who could not escape covered their shoulders and fell down screaming. The curtain was torn open.
Many broken holes on the city walls and towers, as long as they were within reach, were covered by dense crossbow bolts.
After the crossbowmen below fired, the soldiers on the top of the city immediately put their heads out to fight back, but there was another burst of crossbow bolts below the city. As soon as several soldiers poked their heads out, they were hit in the face by crossbow bolts.
He didn't even have time to scream, and his head was shot straight away. It turned out that the shooting commander in front of the formation did not continue to let his men fire volleys, but divided the crossbowmen into three waves to maintain continuous suppression.
Chen Cheng kept moving between several battlements, changing places every time he shot a few arrows. The crossbow arrows on the opposite side were powerful. If he was shot elsewhere, it would be fine, and it would just lose some health. But if he was hit,
Face-to-face, that would be bad.
Fortunately, he asked the eunuchs and maids in the palace to prepare a lot of cloth in advance, not only on top of his head, but also in front of him, blocking the view of the city. Otherwise, he would not be able to output so happily.
Yes, although more than a dozen people fell around him in a short period of time, he shot ten times as many enemies and gained a lot of experience. Coupled with the previous experience points, he has been promoted several levels in a row, and he is increasing his strength.
After the value points reached thirty, the agility value was increased to twenty-four, and all the skill points were added to "Iron Bone" and "Strong Bow", bringing these two skills directly to the full level.
Now he shoots down with an arrow, and the damage is much greater.
After firing at each other for a while, the casualties on the sheltered city top were obviously much smaller. Although the crossbowmen of the sound battalion below the city also wore armor, for convenience of movement, most of them wore armor or girdle armor, and few
Some were wearing iron armor, so they suffered heavy casualties.
Chen Cheng knew very well why the other party was gritting his teeth and shooting at each other. On the small map, groups of red dots were quietly gathering. And the places where those red dots gathered were the residential buildings near the palace. But he didn't understand.
Yes, hiding in a residential building can block attacks on the city, but it also loses the means of attack.
When the city can shoot at the city, it will be easier to shoot at the city.
Chen Cheng was distracted, shooting the enemies under the city while thinking about the enemy's intentions. When the "Strong Bow" reached level ten, the bow and arrow could exert 200% of its power in his hands. Every time the bowstring vibrated,
One person may be killed. After killing many enemies, the proficiency of bow and arrow is also constantly rising. It has exceeded 450 and is slowly approaching the proficiency of 500.
Because the soldiers helping to push outside were shot and killed one after another, the ladder truck moved very slowly. More than 400 people were killed and injured under the city before it had moved less than half the distance. At this rate of casualties, it would be difficult to wait until the ladder truck got closer.
On the city wall, I am afraid that all the more than 2,000 crossbowmen will be killed or injured.
Outside the Baihu Gate, Lieutenant Shesheng really couldn't stand such casualties. He turned back several times to look at He Jin. He saw He Jin sitting safely under the yellow umbrella, and the corpses scattered on the ground in front of him seemed to have disappeared.
"collapse!"
The frightening sound of bow strings vibrating on top of the city sounded again, and another crossbowman screamed and dropped his weapon.
The expression on Colonel Shesheng's face changed several times. He couldn't help but throw the Han sword in his hand to the ground. He turned around and ran out of dozens of troops, jumped on the horse and rushed in front of He Jin's car. He was driven by He Jin.
The soldiers stood thirty steps away and shouted: "General, that's it!"
He Jin stared at Colonel Shesheng for a while, then finally nodded and said: "Drumming!"
After a while, drums and trumpets sounded from behind the military formation. There were bursts of noises from the houses near the palace, roof tiles were lifted, and amid the "buzzing" sound of insects vibrating their wings, countless firelights flew up towards the city.
