Chapter 26 The drum attack is like a tide

The early morning sun shone on Gongsun Zan's forehead, and the breeze blew his beard and the blood red vertical on his helmet.

It was time to attack. The leading Gongsun Zang held a gun in his left hand and raised the red triangle flag in his right hand to indicate the attack. Then, 30,000 generals roared: Kill! Kill! ...It's really killing. It's extremely spectacular and exciting.

When the roar of 30,000 soldiers was over, the drum camp on both sides of the gate of the camp beat the war drum. Two hundred cowhide drums sounded at the same time: the sound of "rumbling" war drums was full of murderousness, like thunder through the sky, and the exciting drums pierced the clouds and split the sun, making the listener's heart full of fearless courage and pride.

Gongsun Zan smiled in front of the towering and strong wall in his sight. He took the lead in rushing across the suspension bridge with a single gun, followed by the shield array behind him. With the attack of Gongsun Zan's camp, Taishici, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led the soldiers behind them to launch an attack.

The earth trembled at their neat pace. Moaning.

The pace of the Youzhou army is the same, and each soldier's expression is full of fighting spirit, which shows the level of normal training and shows good combat literacy.

The wall of Chang'an is more than 1,000 meters away from the moat. The leading troops of the five attacking teams of the Youzhou Army arrived at the other side of the moat and slowed down their progress. The soldiers behind kept a certain distance from their companions in front of them according to the prior arrangements.

The Xiliang soldiers defending the city are adjusting the extreme degree of the stone thrower and bed crossbow attack at this time. Li Wei, the leader of Xiliang, stood on the gate building surrounded by guards and watched the attack of the Youzhou army with cold eyes. Li Yu is half a head taller than ordinary people, but he is dressed in ink jade armor, which makes him very conspicuous in the crowd. He stands out from the flock, like a donkey running into the sheep pen.

For the brave and good soldiers of Xiliang, the siege battle and the defense battle are their weaknesses. Especially for such a large-scale city defense battle, for them, it's really the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.

Xiliang soldiers, from the top to the bottom, are dealing with the alliance's attack with the strategy of blocking the water and covering the earth. When the alliance army besieged, the Xiliang Legion was not afraid, because at the end of the confrontation, it was estimated that the alliance bureau was short of food, and the food and grass in Chang'an City was still sufficient. Even if the attack power of the alliance army was shocking, the towering and strong wall of Chang'an was as solid. Not to mention that the alliance army was only hundreds of thousands, even millions, the Xiliang Legion did not care. Because there are so many reserves of defense materials in Chang'an City, which is beyond imagination.

According to the formation of the enemy's attack, Li Yu's side also moved the stone throwers and bed crossbows. Originally, a stone thrower was 60 meters away, and two bed crossbows were placed on the two sides of the stone throwers. Now, under the adjustment of Xiliang soldiers, hundreds of stone throwers and bed crossbows are concentrated in five areas, always ready to give the five attacking teams to the enemy. Hit.

The stone throwers and bed crossbows move quickly because there are pulleys under them.

Li Wei half squinted his dark eyes and watched the attack of the Youzhou Army with cold eyes. In his sight: the five attacking teams are like five long dragons, extending from the local camp to the moat.

Five dragon-like teams go hand in hand. When the main general led the shield array to enter the effective attack area of the defending side of the city, the stone throwing machine and the bed crossbow on the defending side of the city were launched together. Twenty catties of stone were thrown out of the wall, drawing a beautiful arc in the sun and hitting it directly towards the leading troops of the Youzhou army; and the dense carved arrows shot straight into the air like arrow clouds. The Youzhou army is charging.

Hundreds of stones are still drawing beautiful arcs in mid-air, and dense carved arrows have been shot on the shield of the Youzhou army. After the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the sound of "bang bang" was endlessly remembered. This was the sound of arrows shooting on the thick shield.

The shield array of the Youzhou Army successfully blocked the attack of the first wave of enemy arrows and quickly reached the edge of the first trench. At this time, hundreds of stones fell to the ground rapidly, of course behind the shield array.

In the face of dense arrows, the five generals, Gongsun Zan, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, just waved the weapons in their hands and easily hit them off. Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu could block the dense arrows ten meters wide in front of them, while Tai Shici could block 15 meters, and Zhang Fei, who was good at group fighting, casually waved the eight snake spears, and the 20 meters wide dense arrows in front of him were shot away by black guns.

Zhang Fei's "Thousands of Armies Break" is really the first martial art of group warfare.

At the end of the first round of attack on the defending side, they put stones in the pocket of the stone-throwing machine again, and reinstalled the gap of carved arrows in the dark trough of the crossbow. The soldiers of the Youzhou Army's rushing array took the boards on the rushing car and quickly rushed to the edge of the first trench and put the boards on the trench.

When the defenders of the city were ready to launch the second round of blocking, the rushing array of the Youzhou Army had rushed to the second trench. The archer battalion of the Youzhou Army is still in a safe area. As long as the rushing array destroys the enemy's anti-horse array, they can launch an attack. This is a prior military deployment.

The shield array of the leading troops of the Youzhou Army was tightly guarded at the edge of the second trench, using shoulder-high shields to protect the rushing array behind them.

Li Wei, who was defending the city, was stunned when he saw that the enemy's leading troops could avoid the attack of the powerful and domineering stone-throwing machine. As the creator of the crossbow, Li Yu certainly also knows the position of the enemy's leading troops, which is the most lethal area of the crossbow.

While ordering the stone thrower to adjust the attack distance, he ordered the crossbow to attack the enemy quickly. However, the Xiliang soldiers were indeed not proficient in the operation of the stone thrower and the bed crossbow. After the bed crossbow fired three waves of attacks at the enemy under the wall, the stone thrower had not moved its position. In this situation, Li Yu's angry nose was crooked.

Under the city wall, next to the second trench. Because they are in the most lethal area of the crossbow, the five innate super generals such as Gongsun Zan Taishi Ci are still able to wave weapons and fly dense arrows, but the shield array behind them does not have such strength.

The eagle arrow shot through the thick shield, and its strong force made the shield soldier stag. If he was not careful, he was shot through the body exposed outside the shield by the roaring eagle arrow.

At the end of the second round of attack on the crossbow, a total of 300 shield soldiers in the five Youzhou army lost their ability to act. These wounded soldiers retreated in an orderly manner under the protection of their companions.

Gongsun Zan, who mainly attacked the gate, took the team 400 meters away from the gate. He faced the roaring dense arrows and ordered the shield array behind him to retreat firmly. After the dense three waves of arrows disappeared, no one in Gongsun Zant's army was injured.

Hundreds of soldiers pushed the giant logs 500 meters away from the gate. Hundreds of soldiers and shields retreated collectively. It's really free to advance and retreat, as fast as the wind.

Pushing giant logs to hit the heavy gate of Chang'an City, Gongsun Zan did have this urgent idea in his heart. But the time is not ripe. If you can push the logs to this position, you can achieve the advance plan. In this way, it can prevent the enemy from rushing out of the gate, and on the other, it can have a deterrent effect and attack the morale of the enemy.

Indeed, Li Wei and others standing at the gate were very angry when they saw the huge logs blocking the official road between the gate and the moat suspension bridge. Such an arrogant provocation directly made Li Yu's one Buddha born and two Buddhas rise to heaven.

After the troops led by Gongsun Zan withdrew from the original position, they were not idle. Gongsun Zan saw that the enemy defending the city adjusted the position of the stone thrower, and the enemy's crossbow was only aimed at the four attacking teams 400 meters away from the root of the city wall. All this is expected.

According to the prior offensive deployment, Gongsun Zan commanded the army to change from a "1" formation to a "one" and began to approach the first trench. Then, these soldiers threw the scattered stones near the trench into the trench, smashed the ten-centimeter-long bamboo thorns and buried them!

At this time, the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city have adjusted the position of the stone thrower, and at the same time, the third bed crossbow attack is also ready. However, to the disappointment of Xiliang's soldiers, the attacking Youzhou army has destroyed more than four meters of resistance array with a rushing car, and the resistance array that stretches for dozens of miles has been rushed out of four gaps by the attackers. Each gap is enough for 20 soldiers to go hand in hand.

At this time, the general in charge of the stone throwing machine and the bed crossbow can no longer see the figure of the enemy under the towering wall. Their sight is blocked by the arrows of the wall. At such a distance, the stone throwing machine has lost its function, and the bed crossbow has to move its position or cushion the position to effectively shoot the enemy.

At this time, Taishici and other generals have led the shield array and the rushing array into the area 200 meters away from the city wall, which is also the area where the strength of the innate realm super generals has suddenly declined. In this area, the Youzhou Army, which was responsible for pushing the car, had thrown the car aside. They picked up a stone iron tire bow and followed it behind the shield array. More than 100 meters away from the root of the city wall, they shot against the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city.

And Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood alone behind the team. At a distance of 200 meters, they shot the enemy soldiers on the wall with two stone iron tire bows and arrows.

If you compare the archery alone, Tai Shici is a well-deserved champion, Zhao Yun is the runner-up, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can only be tied for the third place. Nevertheless, after a distance of more than 200 meters, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can also use the two-stone iron tire bow to shoot the enemy soldiers on the wall.

Tai Shici and Zhao Yun are skilled, not to say. At a distance of more than 200 meters, even the arrows shot by the middle-level generals on the side of the defending side of the city were not lethal at all. The four Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun could dodge just by dodging, but the Xiliang intermediate general who launched the attack was shot to death by the four of them before they could hide their bodies.

When the casualties of Xiliang soldiers were nearly a thousand, Li Wei, who was standing in the gate tower to command the battle, suddenly woke up: the enemy did not use the ladder and cloud cart to attack the city. Why did his side shoot against the enemy? Isn't this a confrontation between your own shortcomings, weaknesses and the strengths and strengths of the enemy? Isn't this stupid?
