Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 583
The Wuyue soldiers under the city of Runzhou began to divide their troops. Ding Deyu and Shen Chengli each led 2 horses, and under their command were the commanders of the capital and more than 20 generals and military officers of all sizes.

Ding Deyu brought some troops to the east gate, ready to attack.

After this situation was seen by the defending generals on the top of the city, they also discussed it.

Lu Jiang said: "It is obvious that Wu Yue's army will divide its troops to attack the two city gates to divert our army's attention. Once a city gate is breached, it will have a fatal impact on our army's defense of the city. Therefore, our army also Divide up and fight against it."

Su Chen said from the side: "It happens that I also need to train independently, why don't I lead some troops to command at the east gate, and General Lu sits here, so that I can also deal with attacks from two sides at the same time.

Lu Jiang nodded when she heard the words, and said: "That's fine, it happens that the Soviet Supervisory Army can also display their talents. Generals, you can choose by yourself."

Su Chen nodded, and glanced at the few people recommended by him to join the army. He Yan, Ma Chengcheng, Ma Chengjun and the others said, "I want these people. He is the Commander, Ma Chengcheng, Ma Chengjun are the Marquis Yu, etc. With the addition of my personal guard general, this is enough.

Lu Jiang said: "There are 1 defenders at the east gate. You are counting [-] troops, which is enough to defend the city today."

"I understand." Su Chen nodded, he was still clear about this.

After all, the number of people who can stand on the walls and in the city gates is limited, and the maximum capacity for two to 3000 people has already come to an end. The door was knocked open, so a team of people will be placed at the city gate for prevention and control.

The most excited ones are Peng Jingjing, Han Yunpeng and the others, because they mainly follow Su Chen, and here they have to behave in a well-behaved manner. After all, the main general is Lu Jiang, and there are other commanders and generals Du Yuhou.

Peng Jingjing and the others are here, their status is not high, and it is inconvenient to talk too much.

But if they followed Su Chen to the East City Gate, then it would become their home field, and they would be more free.

Even Peng Jingjing was thinking that it was possible for her to lead troops into battle.

Su Chen handled the affairs neatly. After bidding farewell to Lu Jiang, he went down from the city tower, and sent people Yan Yan and Ma Chengcheng to the barracks to count 1 horses and go to the east gate to prepare for the battle. He took Peng Jingjing, Jing Hong, Ma Chengjun and others to the The east gate is defended.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

The war drum sounded like spring thunder outside the empty city, and the entire mountain seemed to be awakened by the dull and huge sound of the drum.

Then there was the sound of war horses neighing, armor clattering, thick and heavy footsteps one after another, and the ringing of orbits, twenty thousand infantry moved and approached the city gate.

The sound of horns, horseshoes, footsteps, armor rubbing, and swords clashing were all extremely powerful.

Su Chen and the others stood on the east gate, looking around, there was a dense darkness outside the city, full of human heads.

The [-] soldiers and horses are all brightly armored, with spears, swords and halberds, with cold lights shining, and a fierce momentum.

Ding Deyu did not sit on the horseback, but asked someone to prepare a high chair and a big umbrella, and sat on the high chair himself, which was not tiring. He stared at the Runzhou city wall in front of him, nodded slightly, and said, "Prepare attack!"

"As ordered!"

Several Marquises of Du Yu who were in charge of the siege took their respective positions, leading different phalanxes, including spears, shieldmen, archers, etc., and ordered the attack at the same time.

"Woo... boom boom boom..."

The heavy trombone and the shocking beating drum sounded at this moment, and all the drummers, horn players, and flag bearers in Wu Yue's army were all in motion, and the orders were unified, sending out the signal to attack.

"Kill ah-"

The Wuyue soldiers started to move, rushing forward like a tide.

on the city head.

Seeing thousands of troops rushing towards him, Su Chen forced himself to remain calm, and imitated Lu Jiang's tone yesterday, and said, "Archers, prepare your arrows."

"Shh!"

The archers stood in the front row with their bowstrings fully drawn, just waiting for the commander to issue an order.

"put!"

"Shhhhh-"

The bowstring sounded, and hundreds of feathered arrows tied with red cloth strips were shot out suddenly. They passed through the air and landed at 120 steps. They were all tied up in a row. These are positioning arrows. When the armies of both sides charged and entered this range, it was time for the archers to shoot.

The ordinary bows and arrows used in ancient wars usually range from 150 steps to [-] steps. The bow is about two meters long. It is made of bent and baked yew wood or ash wood. Shoot obliquely upwards, and wait for the arrows to fall naturally. Because there are many shields protecting the front, it is not easy to avoid the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the speed increases during the fall, and the strength is not weakened.

Such ordinary archers basically have a quiver for each person, and there are twelve arrow feathers in each pot. Generally, after three or four rounds of volleys in battle, the opponent's chariots and cavalry have already rushed to the front, and basically there will be no arrows. The situation where the shot is over.

Ordinary bows and arrows can shoot more than 200 meters, and they can still wear armor, which is already very powerful.In addition to the ordinary longbow, there is also a composite bow, which is made of a variety of materials. The core is still ash wood, and horny is also used. The outside is bound with harder wood chips such as sawn wood, bonded with the inner layer of thorns, and the outer layer is covered with Beef tendons are complex and costly. Therefore, irregular elite troops are rarely equipped with compound bows. The range can reach two hundred steps, and the power is astonishing.

The soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty have invested too little in national defense these years, so their weapons have not been replaced enough. There are no expensive compound bows, only ordinary longbows.

"Come on—"

Numerous Wuyue soldiers roared wildly, waving long daggers and spears in their hands, with a cold light shining, they charged forward bravely.

In an instant, people can feel a strong masculine wind and cloud rising from the battlefield, sweeping the entire space for hundreds of miles, changing the color of the sky and the earth, and an invisible killing spirit permeates.

When Wu Yue soldiers entered the range of positioning arrows, the city head began to shoot arrows.

Immediately, the sound of the bowstring piercing the air roared, and the dense rain of arrows flew out like locusts.

The Wuyue soldiers who were charging under the city met the first round of arrow rain. People shouted and neighed for a while, and some soldiers and people carrying ladders were shot and fell to the ground spurting blood.

Du Yuhou, a Wuyue soldier, galloped wildly, commanding the soldiers and horses to charge forward. He swung the big ring knife in his hand like a whirlwind, and knocked down the sharp arrows one by one. He was very brave and boosted morale.

"Shoot again!" Su Chen ordered calmly.

The second round of arrows roared off the string again, and violently poured out from the hands of Tang Jun's archers. The dense rain of arrows filled the sky and filled the sky.

"Chichichi-"

The arrows shot down sharply and quickly, and their armor was broken. Many Wuyue soldiers were turned into hedgehogs. Blood spattered.

"Pfft!"

"Ah, my eyes!"

Someone screamed and fell to the ground. The corpse of his partner was trampled mercilessly. Some people kept falling down and became a trampled dead body. Suddenly, a strong bloody smell rose.

The siege battle was staged again.
