The next day, as fate would have it, before the thin clouds and mist dispersed, the sound of earth-shaking drums came from the Wagang Army camp.
Dong~ Dong Dong~~
Accompanied by the long beat of drums, the 180,000-strong army, fully armed and armed with swords, marched out of the camp to form an array. Smoke and dust billowed from the ground, and the sound resounded throughout the world.
Li Mi was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, holding a battle sword in his hand. He was riding on a white jade lion horse that was completely white with no mottled hair. His eyes were coldly gleaming, and he was watching the movements of the Sui army's camp in front of him coldly.
Bing Yuanzhen, the counselor who followed Li Mi, also stood on his horse and looked at the Sui army camp. After a long time, he sighed helplessly: "King Wei, the walls of the Sui army camp seem to be covered with archers. It seems that they are not planning to leave the camp to fight with us."
Wu Tianxi on the side waved the mixed gold phoenix hatefully and sighed: "What a pity. If the Sui army can come out of the camp to fight with our army, the chances of winning this battle will increase a lot."
Li Mi shook his head. Of course he also hoped that the Sui army would go out to fight, but he also knew that this possibility was almost slim. He sighed secretly, and then shouted loudly: "Send the order, beat the drum and march!"
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
The drum beat was dense, like a violent storm, which was completely different from the long drum beat just now. This was the drum beat of attack.
Boom boom boom. . .
The Wagang Army's formation made a splash, maintaining order and advancing forward bit by bit. Looking from a distance, it looks like a huge dark cloud.
About a few hundred steps away from the Sui army's camp, the drums suddenly stopped and the entire army stopped advancing.
Yang Gao, who was also wearing golden armor, stood high on the Chinese military sentry tower and was watching the movements of the Wagang army coldly. At this moment, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "He is really an elite teacher who can enforce orders and prohibitions. It is not unreasonable for Li Mi to dominate the Central Plains."
Chang Yuchun behind him sneered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how elite the army is, it is impossible to stop the pace of Zhongxing in the Sui Dynasty. Soon, the Wagang Army that dominates the world will become history."
Boom! Boom! !
The fierce drum beat sounded again, interrupting the conversation between Yang Gao and Chang Yuchun. I saw that the generals of the Wagang Army, Ge Congzhou and Zhu Youwen, who were in the first formation, had already led their troops to launch and rushed towards the Sui Army camp with shouts. The more than 30,000 Wagang army was like a rolling black wave, with murderous intent rising into the sky.
The general of the garrison stationed at the front camp of the Sui army was Li Siye. He was covered in black armor and his eyes were piercingly staring at the Wagang army coming towards his camp like an overwhelming force. When the Wagang army entered the range of the crossbow, their eyes widened and they shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
Thousands of crossbowmen on the camp wall quickly stringed their arrows, without even aiming. They just used all their strength to shoot towards the Wagang army within a hundred steps. The sound of bowstrings was heard continuously, and arrows rained down towards them. The oncoming Wagang army pounced.
"Whoa!"
The screams were endless, rising and falling, making a sound. In an instant, four to five hundred Wagang soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Or he was shot in the head, neck and other vital parts by a bow and arrow, and immediately fell to the ground dead. Either they were shot through the thighs or arms, or they were directly nailed to the ground, making heart-rending wails.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"
Ge Congzhou was also a talented general. He immediately shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to raise their shields to face the enemy.
Tens of thousands of Wagang soldiers raised their shields one after another, slowed down their pace, and pushed forward slowly against the rain of arrows pouring down.
However, as the distance between the two armies came closer, the shield gradually lost its protective effect, and many arrows shot directly through the shield and hit the soldiers below. At the same time, the trebuchets placed by the Sui army in the camp also began to show their power, and dozens of trebuchets were launched simultaneously.
Hundreds of large rocks weighing three to five kilograms, accompanied by the howling wind, drew a gorgeous parabola in the air and landed heavily among the Wagang army. After a heavy sound, dust flew into the air, and many people were hit with broken heads and bleeding, and fell helplessly on the battlefield.
But all this failed to force the Wagang army to retreat. Even though there were casualties everywhere, the Wagang soldiers still gritted their teeth and charged forward. After paying the price of three to four thousand casualties, the Wagang Army finally rushed to the Sui Army's camp, laid wooden planks on the trench, jumped over, and set up wooden ladders on the camp wall. The Wagang Army soldiers Start climbing the wall bravely.
"Ho ho ho!"
Finally rushing under the camp wall, the morale of the Wagang army was greatly boosted. Many brave warriors who were not afraid of death roared one after another, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and climbed up slowly.
When Li Siye saw that Wagang's soldiers were about to climb up the city wall, he immediately waved his command flag and loudly ordered: "The crossbow soldiers quickly come down the camp wall, the pike soldiers go up the wall, and I stop the Wagang soldiers coming up."
Thump thump thump. . .
Li Siye gave an order, and the crossbowmen who were still on the city wall got off the camp wall one after another, walked to a place dozens of steps away from the camp gate, reorganized their formation, and continued to fire arrows. The thousands of spearmen who were originally waiting below quickly climbed up the camp wall, shouting and killing the Wagang army who rushed up the camp wall.
Clang clang clang clang. . .
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard, and the soldiers of the two armies fought fiercely on the narrow camp wall. The whole line along the wall was littered with corpses, and the whole land was dyed red with blood.
The surviving soldiers, whether they were from the Wagang Army or the Sui Army, were all red-blooded and refused to give in to each other. The only thing they thought about was killing, and the only action they took was to chop out the weapons in their hands, then take them back, and then chop again. go out.
"Get out of my way, everyone!"
With a loud shout, Zhu Youwen, the second son of Zhu Wen, who claimed to be extremely brave, flew up the city wall with a big sword in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd and started slashing and killing. Seeing his bravery, several Sui army spearmen looked at each other and stabbed Zhu Youwen with their spears.
"ha!"
Zhu Youwen roared, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he cut all the spears into two pieces, and the spear heads fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
Several Sui soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and quickly turned around and left. Zhu Youwen was not willing to let go, so he immediately caught up with the two who were walking the slowest. With a wave of the big knife in his hand, the two heads were instantly removed from their necks, and a stream of blood arrows sprayed into the air.
Zhu Youwen smiled and wiped the blood that had just been spattered on his face, and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" After saying that, he charged first and led a group of warriors who climbed the wall to kill the Sui army until they retreated.
Li Siye was furious when he saw this. He held the knife in his hand and quickly climbed up the camp wall to grab Zhu Youwen. "You little thief, don't be so arrogant. I'll kill your grandfather Li Siye."
Zhu Youwen was born as a calf and is not afraid of tigers. When he heard Li Siye's roar, he advanced instead of retreating and raised his knife: "Li Siye, right? Let you be the first stepping stone on my road to fame!"
"Young man is looking for death!"
Hearing this, Li Siye became furious. With a flick of his wrist, he swept out the three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand. Zhu Youwen hurriedly raised his sword to block it, but he didn't expect that Li Siye's sword was a feint. He suddenly jumped up and kicked Zhu Youwen right in the chest.
