Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 584 Guarding the East City Gate

Wuyue soldiers began to attack the city, and the fighting was shocking. Five to six thousand people rushed to the east gate of the city first.

Although the Tang army at the top of the city attacked from a long distance with bows and arrows and shot and killed hundreds of Wu Yue soldiers, it was difficult to completely repel them, because when they got close, the Wu Yue soldiers used shields to cover them, and the arrows could no longer exert much effect. Watching a large number of Wu Yue soldiers rushing to the gate of the city, they began to attack the city.

The rushing chariot was constantly being attacked at the gate of the city, while the Tang army in the city fought to the death and confronted each other.

"Kill it!"

Wu Yue's army carried many ladders to the city wall, and then began to climb the ladders with a Teng shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

The shield blocked his body, and he used the knife to dial the arrows, so that the cold arrows shot from above, the stones rolled down, and the hot soup splashed would be blocked by him.

However, there will also be soldiers who are hit, fall, and are directly injured.

Part of the Wuyue soldiers overcame all difficulties and finally climbed to the top of the city, but what awaited him would be spears and big knives, who would cut him down to the top of the city again, either dead or injured.

The battle was fierce, Wu and Yue soldiers continued to attack, and the Tang army resisted tenaciously.

The two sides are completely fighting for morale to see who is more ruthless.

As long as the morale of any party is weak, it will be suppressed by the other party.

Therefore, the drums of the two sides kept on, and the horns blared to boost the morale of their soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Peng Jingjing pressed the hilt of her sword several times, wanting to apply for a fight.

But Su Chen shook his head and said to her: "Don't just think about fighting, watch carefully, how the Wu Yue soldiers set up their formations to attack the city? How to charge? Does it inspire you? Increase your vision and experience, if you attack the city by yourself in the future Leading troops can also adopt this model.”

Peng Jingjing looked down carefully and found that even though the Wuyue soldiers attacked the city, there was no chaos. Du Yuhou commanded the shield players to form a phalanx to cover the arrows for the soldiers who did not charge to climb the city. It will be connected one after another, and there will be no congestion and collision, which can reduce disorder and panic.

This shows that Wu Yuebing is well-trained and has a clear style of play.

Even when they went to the city, there was no chaos or chaos.

Peng Jingjing frowned and said, "Do you want me to lead a team of troops and fight out of the city? Destroy their shield array?"

Su Chen shook his head and said: "That means we have given up our own advantages and use the short to attack the long. We just need to stick to it."

"Okay!" Peng Qingqing could only continue to wait for the opportunity.

At this time, the Wuyue soldiers used the catapult, and the large stones passed through the catapult, and smashed many large stones at the city gate and tower.

"Oh!"

The boulders were so powerful that they often hit the corners and eaves of the towers, smashed some eaves, and even cracked the battlements.

However, Tang Jun was not intimidated.

Some archers would shoot in the direction of the catapult, trying to disrupt their sling.

Not to be outdone, the archers of the Wuyue soldiers under the city also fought back and shot arrows towards the top of the city.

The organization commanders at the head of the city are Kui Yan and Ma Chengcheng, and Ma Chengjun who is directing the resistance at the city gate. These people were all recruited by Su Chen from among the low-ranking officers who were silently unknown, and they promoted Du Yuhou. The kindness of knowing you.

Therefore, every time Su Chen would directly call these people by name, he would naturally express his position, trust them very much, and treat them as his own. Gratitude.

The three of them worked under Su Chen, and they also tried their best to serve them wholeheartedly, and they would never be passive and sabotage their work.

In this way, the organization of counter-defense and counter-offensive will go smoothly.

Su Chen looked at the city, the Wuyue soldiers who kept rushing up to attack, one wave after another, as if the tide kept crashing against the rocks on the shore, the waves rolled up and then fell again and again.

This requires countless lives to pay the price. Both sides have their own casualties, but the attacking side has three to four times the casualties of the defending side, so if this ratio continues, as long as the defenders themselves do not collapse, the cost of fighting alone will be enough. It can consume the Wuyue soldiers who attacked the city.

But if the Tang army defending the city appeared timidly and the city was defeated, they would be suppressed by Wu Yue soldiers and then directly lost the city.

Once soldiers and horses entered the city, it would be powerless to organize a counterattack.Therefore, the control of the city head is the most important thing, it is the lifeline of a city, and it cannot be lost.

This kind of fighting has a certain nature of gambling. They are all gambling to see which side can't bear it first and will be defeated first. This has nothing to do with the number of people. Overwhelm each other.

There are at most 1000 people at the top of the city, or even a few hundred people. The rest of the people are helping to shoot arrows and smash wood, while the soldiers below are shooting arrows and throwing stones upward.

Both sides are desperately trying to find a way to kill each other's people and make the other party timid first.

Just like that, they didn't retreat from each other, they kept falling into fighting, and they froze for a while.

Su Chen said: "You all see clearly that there is no good way to do this kind of siege, unless our defensive weapons are stronger, the crossbow shoots farther, or there are some smoke that can disturb the opponent's Only with the formation and confidence can we have the opportunity to reduce casualties. The longer the delay, the worse it will be for Wu Yue soldiers.

"If you just rely on this kind of fighting, the risk factor still exists. Once you relax and your morale is low, you may be suppressed by the enemy and lose control of the city wall."

"I can understand what the supervisor said, why don't you let me try." Peng Qingqing's hands were itchy again.

Su Chen shook his head and said: "No hurry, the time has not come yet, wait a little longer, wait for our soldiers to become tired, then you can bring a new army to replace them.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Peng Jingjing did not refute, and approved of Su Chen's arrangement.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted from Chenshi in the morning to noon, and the weather was getting hotter. The Wuyue troops who attacked the city had already changed their group and continued to attack. Only then did Su Chen order Peng Jingjing and Jing Hong to lead people and replace them. Take a look at Yan Yan, Ma Chengxin and others, and let them take a break to avoid fatigue from fighting.

It is obvious that after two hours of high-intensity fighting, many people have been unable to do what they want. Replacing some people and maintaining combat effectiveness is very important to the battle situation, and it is helpful to maintain strength and the safety of the soldiers.

"Kill!"

On the top of the city, knives danced wildly, spears stabbed randomly, and the ping-pong-pong fight was fierce.

Holding a long spear in her hand, Peng Jingjing swept away thousands of troops. Although she was a daughter, he had inner strength and wielded the spear exquisitely and fiercely.

Some Wuyue soldiers were shot dead by her as soon as they climbed to the top, and then fell down.

Some Wu Yue soldiers were already fighting on the city wall, and they were swept down by her twice, quite brave and sturdy.

Using a sword in the battlefield will affect the performance, it is too thin, so using a knife and a gun is more suitable for fighting in this chaotic situation.

Therefore, instead of using a sword, Peng Jingjing used a long spear, which was more lethal and powerful.

Seeing the Marquis of Pengdu Yuhou's martial arts skills, the surrounding soldiers' morale was immediately boosted.

And Jing Hong came from the son of a general, and his ancestors passed on some martial arts and sword, spear and stick techniques, so he is also very brave when he slashes with a knife at this time. The soldiers also looked at him with admiration, thinking that he is indeed a person who is valued and trusted by the Soviet Supervisor Army, and his martial arts are so good.

However, Peng Qingqing shot too hard, but was spotted by some archers below, and concentrated their arrows on Peng Qingqing.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A few cold arrows came, and Peng Qingqing sensed the wind and sensed the danger.

After firing a few arrows with a gun, another cold arrow came straight at her neck, and she swung her body resolutely to avoid it.

However, this was not the end yet, more arrows were concentrated on her body and shot again.
