"Attack!" The leader of the Shu Han army shouted loudly.
The debris on the street was almost burning. The sword and shield bearers rushed at the front, arrows whistling and hitting their shields. But since they had already started charging, there was no reason to stop. The shield hit the other side first.
Sparks flew from the burning debris, but the soldiers behind the shields continued to run forward without blinking an eye.
"Dang!" The swords and lights clashed, and the soldiers from both sides fought together.
"Let's go too and outflank them from here." Cheng Feng said decisively.
When Li Xingchen inspected the training of the Yulin Cavalry, he once made it clear that street fighting is also a science. How to use existing houses to set up traps and ambushes in towns is indeed not a simple matter. Especially especially
In this era, street fighting was not a good option for the defenders.
Defending the city must defend the country, which is also the most orthodox military thought in ancient China. The important areas outside the city are the first line of defense that need to be guarded. Once this line of defense is broken, then the outer city, and then the inner city, have long been the main defense.
It relies on camps and city walls.
This actually has a lot to do with the composition of the army. After all, the sources of soldiers in the army in this era are complex, and most of the training they receive is simple queue training. Although this allows soldiers to enforce orders and prohibitions on the battlefield, it also ignores
It improves its individual soldier and squad combat capabilities, and the latter is the most important in street fighting.
Therefore, in many cases, once the city is breached, the defenders no longer have anything to rely on. After all, after the city is breached, the enemy can rely on the streets to easily drive the retreating defenders out of the city.
However, as Li Xinchen's team should be regarded as the only one that focuses on individual combat capabilities, street fighting is something that the Yulin Cavalry cannot ignore.
Cheng Feng has been keenly aware that the team that Chen Shujian placed in the streets is definitely not just ordinary people. The opponents have high individual combat qualities. In other words, these guys are more like dead soldiers, the kind of professional
During a coup, he is a dead soldier who quickly attacks the important government offices and important places in the city, and then controls the overall situation.
But Cheng Feng was not afraid of this. The Yulin Cavalry did not come to deal with a group of temporarily recruited civilians. They were the sharpest knives in Li Xinchen's hands, coming to cut off Chen Shujian's shield.
Arrows roared in, and several Nanchen soldiers appeared on the roof at the corner of the street. However, Yu Linqi, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his shield to block it, while the crossbowmen behind him had already aimed their short crossbows at these exposed people.
Come on head.
One arrow penetrates!
All movements were smooth and flowing, and Cheng Feng didn't even look at the Nanchen soldiers who were shooting arrows overhead. He knew that the crossbowmen behind him would kill them one by one. Cheng Feng walked straight along a collapsed outer wall.
They rushed into the courtyard, and several Nanchen soldiers jumped out directly from behind the rubble piles and broken walls.
"Dang!" Cheng Feng raised his sword to dodge the sword that struck him head-on, and then took a step back. The shield in his hand was directly pressed against the chest of another soldier. Soldier Nan Chen obviously did not expect that the other soldier would use his sword to defend himself.
Attacking with a shield, he quickly staggered back, but he no longer had the chance to step forward, and the Yu Linqi who attacked from both sides at the same time killed him directly.
"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, and Cheng Feng's shield could barely block the arrows that hit his chest, but he did not dare to neglect it. At this time, his crossbowman was still behind and had not come up, so he simply rolled on the spot and hid behind
Behind the rubble.
The three or four crossbowmen at the back hurriedly fired at the wall where the arrows were shot, while the other Yulin riders directly threw the lit torches into the room next to them. The flames immediately rose, and soon they saw a two-man warrior. A guy who was on fire ran out of the house screaming. Before they could find water, he was easily killed by Yu Linqi.
Cheng Feng sneered. He didn't expect these guys to actually ambush in the house. However, this kind of street-facing house with front and rear doors can not only prevent enemies from rushing in from the wall, but also open the door and rush out directly. Counting it all This house is directly opposite the Luzhai and Juma areas on the street. If when the Shu Han soldiers were crossing these obstacles with difficulty, an enemy army happened to come from the flank, and there would probably be heavy casualties.
At this moment, a small door behind him made a soft sound. Cheng Feng was startled for a moment, clenching the knife in his hand, and the door suddenly opened! Cheng Feng jumped up almost at the same time and directly killed the leading man. Thrown to the ground.
"One of our own!" Su Jian finally saw clearly that the other party was wearing the same armor as himself, and hurriedly put away the knife in his hand and shouted.
Cheng Feng took a breath and let go of his hand. The two of them looked at each other. Su Jian was a little surprised: "Yu Linqi? General Cheng?"
"Well, you guys?" Cheng Feng looked at the Bashu soldiers who rushed out behind him.
"Su Jian, under the command of General Zhengdong." Su Jian led his soldiers and stumbled over. They were almost lost, but now they finally saw one of their own.
"Where did you come from?" Cheng Feng was a little surprised. With all the troops on the street, how could there be another team drilling into the house like him?
Su Jian looked solemn: "Originally, we were going to outflank the alley over there, but we were almost ambushed, so we had to clean house by house. We lost a lot along the way, and the enemy seemed to have already prepared for street fighting. Get ready, all the walls have been broken through, and we also found a lot of crossbows and arrows in a cellar."
Cheng Feng nodded slightly: "Especially in the houses along the street, a lot of people have been arranged. Although they are almost cleaned now, it is conceivable that the warehouses in front must be more tightly guarded. Our trebuchets and bed crossbows are not there yet. Come up here and attack by force, and there will be inevitable casualties."
Su Jian looked a little more solemn, and Cheng Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Are you scared?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. They're just a bunch of stubborn cockroaches."
Cheng Feng suddenly laughed: "Then let's go!"
At this time, in a restaurant not far away, Li Xingchen walked quickly through the lobby where there were still a few corpses that had not been cleaned, and quickly went upstairs. Xiao Shilian was already watching the battle ahead, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned around Said: "I didn't expect that Chen Shujian would start a street fight with us."
"Everyone has seen this. He should be a soldier trained by Chen Shujian." Li Xingchen smiled bitterly, "This King of Changsha is not as honest as we thought."
Xiao Shilian obviously also thought of Chen Shuling's dead soldiers who he had dealt with before. It didn't take much to think about what these dead soldiers were originally used for.
"We are helping Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling prevent disaster," Xiao Shilian couldn't help but complain, "What are you going to do next? The warehouses under the inner city are probably not so easy to attack. They are supported by crossbows and trebuchets on the city. , and the warehouse itself also has a wall and trench.” (To be continued)
