"Kill the little ones for me, let the Han dogs know how powerful we are, and let them know the consequences of offending the king. Don't stop, kill them all!"
With the joint orders of the three leaders Tan Shihuai, Tadun, and Gongsun Kang, and the instigation of the army commander Gongsun Gong, the entire Xianbei coalition began to take action, screaming and launching an attack on Fanyang City!
"The king has an order, and I swear not to withdraw my troops and return to the camp until Fan Yang is defeated!"
"The Marquis has an order to cleanse Fanyang City with blood and capture Yuan Shao alive!!"
"The general has an order not to stay, kill them all!"
"Brothers, charge, kill all the Han dogs, and capture Yuan Shao alive!"
"Kill everyone, I will wash away Fanyang City with blood and take revenge!"
"Brothers, don't hesitate, rush forward, kill them all, and burn the city!"
Just listen to the 60,000 coalition troops shouting wildly, holding weapons, without the slightest hesitation, and daring to launch an attack on Fanyang City. A bloody battle is about to take place!
Zhang He had a panoramic view of the enemy's performance and movements from the tower. Although he somewhat agreed with the performance of the three leaders of the coalition, this did not prevent Zhang He from leading his army to resist their attack. There are no friends, no benevolence and righteousness on the battlefield, only enemies and victory. Zhang He has long understood this truth and has put it into action!
Seeing the Xianbei coalition troops approaching with great momentum and shouting slogans, Zhang He was not afraid at all. Although he did not give orders one after another like the leader of the coalition forces, he did not have the slightest fear. The morale of the soldiers defending the city has been fully mobilized, so there is no need for too much encouragement and morale improvement. As for shouting slogans, there is no need. Actions sometimes trump all empty talk and slogans!
Zhang He sneered at the Xianbei coalition's aggressive and desperate attitude, feeling a little underestimated of them. Besides, who doesn’t know how to work hard? There is nothing simpler than working hard!
However, these were all scenes that flashed through Zhang He's mind. He didn't say much from beginning to end, but just stared at the movements of the Xianbei coalition forces below the city tower. Prepare to wait until they are within the range of the archers, and let the Han soldiers guarding the city greet them with bows and arrows, and give them a gluttonous feast!
Tap tap tap tap—
Dong dong dong dong—
Accompanied by the roar of the coalition war drums and the footsteps of the soldiers, the first wave of 60,000 troops finally arrived not far from the city tower under Zhang He's expectant eyes and under the leadership of their commander. Entering the range of the archers!
Seeing that the enemy troops were within shooting range, Zhang He naturally stopped being polite to them. He raised his spear, pointed at the bottom of the city tower, greeted the eight thousand archers who were already impatient, and gave them an order!
"Archers, prepare, prepare to shoot!"
Qiqi's first release on the entire network
"Brothers, don't be polite. Use your arrows to attack these trash!"
"Kill them all and let these thieves understand that Fan Yang is not theirs to invade!"
Swish swish swish—
Ding ding ding ding—
Following Zhang He's order, the eight thousand archers who had been impatient for a long time put down the bow strings they were holding with their right hands. Only a few whooshing sounds were heard, and nearly ten thousand arrows, like a rain of arrows, roared towards the Xianbei coalition forces under the city tower!
Although part of it was blocked by the shields of the coalition soldiers, the arrows and shields sparked sparks and made a tinkling sound. But there are still a large number of them that have found their targets and produced the expected effects. Just like the previous battle, the effect is very obvious!
Swish swish swish—
Pu Chi Pu Chi—
Moreover, this wave of arrow rain has not completely stopped yet. The next wave of arrow rain does not need Zhang He to issue any more orders, and will naturally follow it. With the sound of whooshing, the arrows naturally followed the direction of the arrow rain in front, mixed with the force of the previous wave of arrow rain, and easily caused casualties to the coalition soldiers!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Only a few screams were heard, and only two arrows rained down, causing at least the loss of more than 10,000 coalition soldiers. Although it has not reached the maximum range of killing enemies, the effect is still amazing!
You must know that the first wave of attacks on Fanyang City only consisted of 60,000 troops. In just a short time, it caused a loss of 10,000 people, reaching an astonishing one-sixth casualty. And the one who suffered the greatest losses was the Liaodong army. As infantry, the so-called human shields, they naturally suffered too much damage and had to bear such damage. This is the price that must be paid in order to win, and it is also an essential loss!
Regarding such casualties, Gongsun Gong, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces who was supervising the battle from behind, was still a little distressed although he had been prepared. But there is no way, this is the price that must be paid to win. Fortunately, the casualties were not too many, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition forces assisting on both sides had already arrived at the designated location!
After the 20,000 Xianbei and Wuhuan mixed cavalry had just arrived at the designated position, before they could take a breath, Gongsun Gong's joyful voice mixed with roars reached their ears, and he immediately ordered to them!
"The archers on both sides are ready to fight back fiercely, and greet the imperial army well in order to avenge one arrow!"
Swish swish—
Following Gongsun Gong's roar, the 20,000 cavalrymen on both sides did not dare to neglect. They sat firmly on their horses, bent their bows and fired arrows, and fired a wave of arrows at Fan Yang's tower!
Only the sound of whooshing was heard. Before the Han soldiers on the tower could react, the arrows had already arrived in front of them, and many arrows had already passed over their foreheads and flew towards the city. go!
Looking at this posture, Zhang He knew that the enemy was well prepared. It was obvious that the Liaodong army was used as a human shield to attract the attention of the defending army, and then to gain opportunities for the mixed cavalry on the flanks. So that they can also use bows and arrows to effectively kill the defenders on the towers and the people in the city!哽噺繓赽奇奇奇奇影院盧|w~w~w.
I have to say that this strategy is really practical and effective. This was not the moment when Zhang He was stunned and thinking. The first wave of arrow rain had already fallen, and it also began to cause casualties to the soldiers defending the city, especially the loss of the crossbowmen who had just fired arrows at the Liaodong army!
"Archers, step back, quickly, hide your intention, don't increase casualties!"
"The infantry stepped forward immediately to block the enemy's arrows and protect the safety of the archer brothers!"
After the allied cavalry's arrow rain caused casualties to the defenders, especially the archers, Zhang He also reacted and immediately prepared a response. Let the archers retreat first, and then let the infantry step forward with shields to block the arrows directed at the archers and protect the safety of the defenders, especially the archers. Because Zhang He knew that these eight thousand archers were all the strength of the North Gate, and they were also the effective force of the defending army. It cannot be lost. The less it is lost, the less it will be. It is an object that needs to be protected!
It is also the target of enemy attacks and the target that must be eliminated. The enemy obviously understood this truth. They arranged their formation in this way all because of this, and just for these eight thousand archers!
Unfortunately, even though Zhang He knew this and immediately responded, he still caused casualties to the archers. The enemy's arrows were too powerful, and the accuracy of the arrows was too accurate. In just one wave of arrows, the Han army suffered 2,000 casualties, of which 1,000 were archers!
