Yongfu, a young general of Shangguo, although he is young, his eyes reveal unyielding determination.
He held a halberd and stood on the chariot. Behind him was the army he led. They were all brave soldiers, determined to fight for the life and death of Shangguo.
"Crack!"
There was a crash of thunder.
It seemed to be announcing a tragic war.
As the sky gradually became brighter, most of Shang Guo's army came out of the city gate.
The three square formations did not make much noise. Even if they were suppressed by Yang Gan for two months and suffered several defeats, their pride was not wiped out.
When the first ray of sunlight shone down, the city was suddenly shaken by the sound of drums.
"Dong dong dong~~~~!"
It was as if thunder was about to pierce the entire sky.
When he saw the scene on the opposite side, Le Ding's heart sank to the bottom. He was the general, but he chose to stay in the city and command the battle.
If these people could run out, there would be reinforcements, and he would still have to guard Fuyan City.
The enemy's and our armies faced each other in a circular field. In the middle was a guardrail made of four or five layers of horses, and an unknown number of traps and caltrops were placed around it.
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. At this time, Le Deng had no way out. He suddenly gave command, and the drum sound changed instantly. It had just begun to tremble, but now it immediately turned into a rush, as urgent as a sudden storm.
"kill!"
The brave young general pulled the reins, and the four horses neighed, carrying the chariot and driving outside, followed by dozens of shielded soldiers.
They were not fools. When they saw the opponent's bed crossbow, they were also equipped with makeshift shields. They had no armor or shields. For a simple bed crossbow, they would basically die in one shot.
But with a shield and armor, the fatality rate dropped instantly.
No one is not afraid of death, and no one is a fool. Do you really think the soldiers are fools if you don't distribute good equipment and let the soldiers charge?
As the battle for the remaining three city gates began, the 200,000-strong army at the east gate was only two to three hundred meters away from Juma, relying on the strength of its chariots.
Right now!
There was a loud sound from Xia Jun's side, and three war drums sounded.
"Military order, repeating crossbow carriage, three-stage shooting."
"Military order, crossbow carriage, targeted sniper attack on the opponent's personnel above the soldiers."
"Military order, three-bow crossbow, free fire."
"Military order, catapults are ready to launch!"
When the last word fell, the Shangguo army that was charging suddenly felt that the entire sky darkened.
Some people rushed forward regardless, while others looked up curiously.
It didn't look good, but when I saw it, I was so scared that I had to hold back my urine.
"Bow, bow and arrow!!!"
"Raise your shield!"
A roar sounded.
A large number of soldiers began to hold up shields for effective defense.
To be honest, no matter how powerful a crossbow is, when it hits a shield, its power will naturally be reduced by more than half. There is really no way around it.
Don't forget, there are bed crossbows, catapults, and the most terrifying three-bow bed crossbows in the Xia army formation.
In order to be foolproof this time, Ran Jing frantically borrowed five three-bow crossbows from Wu Gaolang. When one arrow was shot out, it was a whole bunch of candied haws.
Regardless of whether the killing is large or fast, let me ask you, standing next to the candied haws, are you afraid or are you peeing?
Looking at the comrades who were fighting side by side just now, making candied haws on a stick, I asked you if you are afraid!
The proverb of the three-bow bed crossbow:
We can break the shield that your bows and crossbows cannot break.
We will kill the armor that your sword cannot pierce.
In a word, we kill those who can be killed with bows and crossbows, and we must kill those who cannot be killed with swords.
Shoot first and aim later, all living beings are equal!
This~~~ is the three-bow bed crossbow!
Countless arrows fell down on their heads, as well as long spears and short spears fired from the front. The hot-blooded Shangguo soldiers were already stunned by the shots before they even came into contact with each other.
Yongfu and his troops were under tremendous pressure, but he still stood firmly at the front line. Every time he swung his spear, he knocked away the short spears and feather arrows.
The battle was fierce, and casualties continued to increase. It was said that it was a battle, but in fact it was just being washed back and forth by arrows.
Yes, you have a shield, but your shield can only block one side, and it cannot protect against the powerful penetrating power of the crossbow. Even if it can block the shots from the crossbow carriage, how many times can it be blocked?
Yongfu and his troops are in trouble.
Suddenly, a cold steel arrow flew from the darkness. Yongfu felt a tingling sensation in his chest, but he did not fall. Instead, he waved his spear even more crazily, determined to open a bloody path.
Even if he was about to die, he still had to rush the chariot in front of Ju Ma, but he didn't notice at all that the leather armored war horse in front of him had been shot into a sieve by short spears.
Just a few minutes.
The brave man fell in a pool of blood. His spear could no longer be held tightly. His body was covered with feather arrows, and a short spear was shot deeply into his collarbone.
Looking at the soldiers he led, the howling of the soldiers, and the countless flames of war, he finally used all his strength to twist his head and look at Fu Yan.
This is his mother country, this is the place where he was born and raised, but unfortunately...
His chest no longer rises and falls. Yongfu, a young general who was very aggressive in the past, has lost his breath at this time, and his eyes are fixed on that trace of nostalgia and deep reluctance.
This situation happens all the time in this 200,000-strong army.
When Shang Guo rushed to Ju Ma's side, there was another wailing sound. When they stepped hard on the ground, the iron caltrops pierced the soles of their feet.
The soldier was in pain and fell to the ground. It would have been better if he didn't fall. Once he fell, his whole body was pricked by caltrops and he cried for his mother. The scene instantly went out of control.
"Hahahahaha, I'm dead, I'm dead!"
"Mom, I want to go home to find my mom."
"No more fighting, no more fighting, please stop fighting!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, why are they all dead, why are our people dying!"
"Oh my god, you are trying to destroy my country, Shang!"
All the Shangguo soldiers were just spending time on the Juma. Don't look at the spears on the Juma. In fact, the entire Juma was later installed with nails. They are not very sharp, but they are still a big obstacle.
There were fierce battles and chaotic scenes, as well as the soldiers' cries of terror and despair.
A total of 200,000 troops were stuck to the horse. The people in front were stabbed and pierced, and the people behind continued to rush in, causing a large number of casualties.
The reason for this is very simple. No matter how good Shang Guo is, he can't let the army run around in such an unorganized manner.
The bottom line is that a large number of middle-level and high-level generals were called one by one by the three-bow bed crossbow and repeating crossbow carriage. They had never seen this kind of weapon, and there was no preset safe distance at all.
Such a tragic battlefield situation was beyond Xia Jun's expectation.
On the battlefield, weeping and wailing could be heard one after another. All the soldiers on the city were silent, and some soldiers had collapsed on the ground, and they were heartbroken.
I don’t know who it was, but I yelled and ran.
A large number of soldiers just woke up from a dream and ran towards the city, but by this time, the city gate had already been closed.
The defeated soldiers were covered in blood, and some had arrows stuck in their leather armors. Their eyes were red, and they were beating the city gate with ferocious expressions.
"Let us in, quickly, let us in."
"I beg you."
"Let's go in."
"They are not human beings."
"Ah, it hurts me so much."
"Save me, I can still save you!"
Ran Jing immediately issued a military order.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
When the bells and cauldrons rang, the arrows in the sky suddenly disappeared.
Ran Jing just looked at the city gate coldly without any emotion. In his eyes, the swarming defeated army was like withered bones in a grave.
I wish Hongfang Qidao.
"General, although they have withdrawn, they are still crowded at the gate of the city and cannot open the door. Our three-bow crossbow should be able to hit them."
Ran Jing shook his head. Your Majesty had already told him in detail about the entire battle situation and strategic purpose.
If they don't understand anything, the two of them will discuss it clearly. Even if they feel there is a misunderstanding, Junshang will help them straighten it out.
"The purpose is not to kill people, the purpose is to let these people go back and consume the food and grass in the city."
Zhu Hongfang raised his eyebrows and secretly cursed himself for being careless, why he had forgotten such an important thing. .
Fuyan is like an isolated island. It was supposed to only accommodate ten people, but now it has dozens or hundreds of people, so naturally it cannot support it.
At this time, a general with a mustache came over and said with cupped hands.
"General Ran, the general has a plan, should I tell him or not?"
Ran Jing smiled.
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Although this place is inland, there are many water veins in Shangguo, but many tributaries are drawn from large rivers such as Zhangshui. If we can block it..."
Ran Jing raised his eyebrows.
"You mean, not only will you cut off their food and grass, but you will also cut off their water source?"
Sima Cuo nodded and touched the mustache on his mouth, his face full of determination.
"Yes, your Majesty once said that a person can live for six or seven days without eating and only drinking water. If a person does not drink water, he may only live for three or four days."
"Once the water source in the city is blocked, the water inside will stink. Drinking it at will will not only fail to quench your thirst, but may even cause illness!"
Ran Jing pondered deeply, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. After a long time, he shook his head and said.
"As a capital city, Fuyan must have its own wells and more than one diversion pond. It may not be that simple to seal off the whole road."
Sima Xin said nothing and looked at Ran Jing quietly.
Ran Jing thought about it and it seemed quite reliable.
"How about this? I'll give you 10,000 Polu troops to dig out the water veins first. Although it may not be effective, you should try your best to give it a try!"
"Being able to defeat Shang Guo one day earlier is also a relief for supplies!"
"promise!"
Zhu Hongfang immediately started making arrangements. Just after a big battle, buckets of ginger soup were brought to the battlefield for everyone to drink.
After resting for two cups of tea, he pointed out 10,000 people and followed the common source of the water veins.
When Le Ding returned to the military camp, he was completely confused.
