The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 891 Secret Hands
"Ugh——"

The deep horn sounded, and Gao Shun looked back at the direction of the Chinese army.

On the lookout car, a black and black banner is waving.

That's the signal to attack!
Gao Shun moved his eyes and looked down.

The soldiers of the military battalion have already begun to reorganize the army. They are slowly moving forward, coming under pressure, and are ready to change defenses.

With the help of the cover of the shield car, the front line of the trapped camp is only more than [-] steps away from the Han army's camp. If they run at full speed, they can reach the Han army's camp in only three or four seconds.

The sound of the bowstring vibrating continuously rang in Gao Shun's ears, and Gao Shun was used to the mournful wailing on the battlefield.

Gao Shun turned his head again, left the cover of the shield chariot, and looked up at the Han army camp in front of him.

Through the gap in the visor, Gao Shun could clearly see the situation above the Han army camp.

The archers in the Han camp were so suppressed that it was almost difficult to raise their heads.

Hundreds of strong bows were fired almost at the same time, and a rain of arrows like locusts shot towards the wall of the Han army.

The archers of the Han army on the wall had no time to dodge, and the archers trapped in the camp were extremely accurate with every arrow.

Some feather arrows even shot into the extremely narrow observation port. Under the shooting of the infantrymen in the trapped camp, most of the guards on the wall of the Han army fell down immediately, and no one dared to show their heads.

The trap camp has expanded from the original [-] people to [-] people now, and those Xianbei people who were captured in the Battle of Rao Leshui were also mixed in.

Some of these Xianbei captives were sent to labor camps for mining in various places, and some were transferred to the Western Regions to farm and breed as the frontline of the Western Regions Protectorate to develop the Western Regions.

And there is not a part, a very large part of them were selected into the camp, and the first requirement of those Xianbei people who were selected into the camp was excellent archery.

How could Gao Shun's crossbowmen who became monks halfway compare with those Xianbei archers who practiced bows and arrows after defecating.

Sun Jing glanced under the wall of the Gaoshun camp, and there were no two places in the rear camp that were broken by catapults, but it was difficult to make a breakthrough, and the degree of completeness was not small.

"Ladders go first, get out of the way."

Sun Jing raised her left hand, clenched it into a fist, swung it backwards heavily, and said in a deep voice.

The flag was waved and the whistle sounded again.

A group of soldiers trapped in the camp who were retreating stopped almost at the same time, and short shouts of orders suddenly sounded in the army camp trapped in the camp.

The army formation in the trapped camp suddenly changed, and the seven ladder vehicles in front of the shield vehicles suddenly slowed down, and the shield vehicles behind us quickly moved to the sides, giving way to the road.

Hearing the military order, the soldiers of the trapped camp who were pushing the ladder cart tried to save their energy and pushed the ladder cart backwards one after another.

Did Sun Jing carry a ram? The Gaoshun camp I was retreating from was built under a slope. We attacked on our backs all the way, using rams to smash into the city gates and camp walls. Due to the influence of gravity, the center of gravity will be closer to the front, making pulling easier and hitting harder.

Or if you use a more convenient siege ladder, you only need to adjust the height of the siege ladder to get used to it.

The camp wall is high and short, and at such an angle, it is completely possible to climb by hand, and directly step on the ladder to climb down the camp wall.

"Siege Ladder!"

Colonel Gao Shun, through the observation hole under the camp wall, saw the seven low siege ladders pushed out from the trapped camp. My voice even changed because of panic.

"catapult……"

Just as I was roaring, wanting to command the catapult to bombard the siege ladder of the trapped camp, a feathered arrow unexpectedly shot through the spacious observation hole and pierced my neck.

Whether or not the military order I wanted to issue was successfully issued, the sharp arrow easily pierced my unprotected neck, entered it from my throat, and penetrated to the front of my neck. position, only the last arrow feather remained at its throat.

All the soldiers squatting beside the Chief Gao Shun looked terrified, and the soldiers hiding in front of the bunker under the camp wall almost subconsciously moved away from the observation hole.

It's just that although the commander Gao Shun was killed in battle, no one else issued a military order to the soldiers who were in charge of manipulating the catapult.

"Stretch!" "Stretch!"

A huge sound appeared in Gao Shun's camp, and the stone bullets thrown by the catapult crossed the dark sky and smashed hard into the army formation trapped in the camp.

"hidden!"

Just when these stone pops appeared in the field of vision of a group of soldiers trapped in the camp, except for the moving ladder car, everyone had already hid in front of the shield car.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The continuous bombardment sound appeared in the army formation trapped in the camp.

The army formations trapped in the camp are extremely sparsely arranged, with shield vehicles following each other, with many gaps.

It is almost difficult for the bed crossbow to shoot through the shield car before reinforcement, but the stone bullets thrown by those trebuchets can still threaten the army formation in front of the shield car to a certain extent.

"Oh!"

A shield car was hit on the edge, and sawdust flew across in an instant, and a small amount of complete sawdust turned into sharp blades and flew towards Qizhou.

If it was a soldier of the Ming army who had been hiding in front of the shield chariot, he would have suffered heavy casualties because of the flying wood.

However, those wooden blocks that collapsed and flew like sharp knives hit the soldiers of the camp in front of the shield chariot, leaving only a few shallow marks under their armor.

But the first casualty finally appeared on the battlefield.

The stone bullet that hit the edge of the shield car was ejected slowly in the opposite direction with the help of that reaction force.

A soldier trapped in the camp who hadn't reacted was hit firmly in the shoulder by the stone bullet, and the heavy armor under me couldn't effectively protect me from such an impact.

A piece of my shoulder collapsed, and the whole body seemed to be sunken into his chest cavity. The strong smell of blood permeated the air in an instant, and I saw that I had lost all vitality.

Before the first casualty, the seventh and eighth casualties also appeared very slowly.

Almost all the casualties that occurred were soldiers who pushed the ladder truck.

The attack of the catapult smashed under the ladder car, and it was indeed possible to make the ladder car fragmented, but it was very slow, and we aimed at these cart soldiers who had little protection.

As the catapult approached, Gao Shun's soldiers also went completely crazy.

We are very confused about what will happen once these monsters in white armor climb down the camp wall along the ladder car. The fighting spirit was rekindled.

Gao Shun under the camp wall frantically used the crossbow machine and bow and arrow in his hand, trying to stop the retreat of the trapped camp ladder car, these bed crossbows, which had been silent for a long time, also let out their own roar at this time.

The flying arrows were like locusts, and with the help of the catapult throwing stones, they suppressed the archers trapped in the camp in an instant.

The distance between the two sides was more than eighty steps. Under that distance, the accuracy and penetration of the bed crossbow reached the lowest value.

The huge spear gun easily pierced through the protection behind the pawns.

The solid armor worn under the body enables the soldiers trapped in the camp to rely on the armor to resist the shooting of bows and arrows and crossbows.

But in the face of the spear guns fired by the bed crossbow, the heavy armor under us did not bring us much protection. The huge spear guns with weak kinetic energy only broke the shield behind us , and pierced through our chests.

Gao Shun's outburst of fighting spirit at the beginning brought huge obstacles to the trapped camp.

However, Gao Shun's counterattack was not able to stop the retreat of the trapped camp.

A soldier pushing a cart fell down, and no one filled it up immediately, without the slightest sign, the slightest hesitation, and the slightest fear.

We walked back silently, covered by the thick iron armor, and fell into the eyes of Xu Han like monsters.

If it weren't for the voices of these soldiers trapped in the camp, there would often be a few human voices, I'm afraid no one would regard them as monsters.

The hot iron armor covered our figures, and the white iron mask made people see our faces. Our appearance was like the evil spirits in this mural, which was particularly terrifying.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

The Marquis of Gaoshun under the camp shouted hoarsely, but no matter how hard I tried, everything was in vain.

The ladder car trapped in the camp had already set off under the wall of the Gaoshun camp, and the ladder with the barb slammed down under the wall, instantly fixing the ladder.

"call out------"

Just at the last moment, the whistle that represented death suddenly rose into the sky.

Are there shouts of killing, roars of anger, or even human voices in the army trapped in the camp.

Nothing, only the sound of these sparse and slow footsteps.

The ear-piercing screeching sound and light footsteps intertwined together, making people feel chills all over by themselves.

In the last moment, countless mournful howls sounded like an accompaniment.

On the camera, the Han army vaguely saw the situation on the side of the trapped camp.

These shield vehicles before reinforcement have achieved far better results than expected, and the toughness of the trapped camp seems to be lower than that of the subsequent military exercises.

It only took half a quarter of an hour, and the trapped camp had already climbed down the wall, completely disintegrating Gao Shun's defense.

Xu Han has already led the trapped camp into Gao Shun's camp, and is currently clearing out the remnants.

At this time, the sharp soldiers of the Ming army who were in charge of covering Sun Jing's right and left also fought with Gao Shun who was retreating to the camp.

The military equipment of the sharp soldiers of the Ming army is much worse than that of the military soldiers. Naturally, there is no way to compare with the trapped camp. Gao Shun is still fighting with it relying on the wall. But it wasn't that they had no power to fight back. They even launched several counter-charges on some battlefields, occupying many advantages,
The Han army used the binoculars set up behind the seats to watch the battlefield in the distance.

Those Gao Shuns under Liu Xie's command were actually not strong, as can be seen from the fact that they were able to rely on the wall and have the same equipment as the elite soldiers of the Ming army.

But unfortunately we have encountered the trap camp.

The money spent under the eight thousand camps is enough to train [-] soldiers or [-] elite soldiers.

"I ordered Sun Jing to lead the trapped camp to continue to retreat. I have only one goal, and that is to retreat to the camp where Liu Xie is."

"The order was given to Zhang Yang, ordering me to withdraw all the catapult convoys and trilogy that were besieging Pengcheng two quarters of an hour ago, and instead retreat to attack the southwest military camp."

"Order Zhang Liao and the state battalion cavalry to move the army to the place where the original Pengcheng siege troops were, and guard the Pengcheng defenders."

The Han army issued a new military order in a short and feeble manner. Now that the trapped camp has entered a part of the military pawn camp, it is time to retreat from the previous plan.

The Han army glanced over Gao Shun's company.

Because of the terrain, if you want to retreat to Gaoshun's camp, you need to attack from your back more or less.

The Gaoshun camp is connected to each other and also to Pengcheng. As long as Liu Xie thinks, I can mobilize Pengcheng's defenders to assist the Southwest Company Battalion at any time.

Although a small part of Pengcheng's defenders are country warriors, those country warriors are enough to become a combat force when defending the city. In the situation of no supervising team ahead, we have to work hard even if we want to.

Xu An's arrangement was actually an attempt to exchange the lives of those brave men for the lives of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Even if seven, eight, or even ten townspeople die, as long as they can be exchanged for one Ming army, Xu An is more than half willing to change.

Although Xu Han's military strategy is like Sun Jian's, I obviously understand that Qingzhou Gaoshun was burned to death.

Although the bone-eating north wind is blowing throughout the season, and there is no small amount of snow, the fire attack is still possible to be effective.

But I still ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees between the camps, and even cleared some bushes near the camps.

Without the shelter of trees and shrubs, Gao Shun's company was completely exposed and could be seen at a glance.

The fierce battle in the back line was still going on. When the retreating Gao Shun sharp soldiers captured a Gao Shun camp, the trapped camp had already broken through the seventh military camp under the leadership of Sun Jing, and was heading towards the eighth camp. The military pawn battalion launched a retreat.

Sun Jing ordered the soldiers to push the torsion catapult into the occupied camp, and bombarded the other Xu Han camps with the help of the mounds built by Xu Han.

Torque catapults did not appear frequently in the Ming army's war against Li, so Xu An didn't think about that question, but it made Xu Han get a very small boost now, and the speed I was pushing back was far behind. It surpassed the expectations after the Han army.

"Order the No. [-] Xu Hanmei to retreat, and her name to take over the retreat of the Seventh Battalion, and cooperate with the trapped camp to retreat to the Gaoshun Central Army."

"The seventh sharp soldier battalion stays at the stronghold and supports the two wings."

The Han army stared at the soldiers' battalion in the distance, and after giving two orders, they stood up, walked up to the watchtower, and came directly to the first-floor platform where the officers of the staff department were located.

Under the first platform, a group of officers of the staff department were discussing slowly with reference to the map. Around the map, several staff officers were writing numbers with charcoal pencils, constantly calculating something.

Seeing the arrival of the Han army, all the military staff members saluted.

Whether the Han army returns the courtesy, now is the critical time, and it is the time to care about false courtesy.

"According to the current retreat speed of the trapped camp, Siwaishan's plan must be delayed."

"You also think that way, and you are about to send someone to report to you, Daojun, but you have already come up first..."

A military staff officer raised his head slightly and said respectfully.

"You just ordered the First Han Army to continue the retreat of the Seventh Battalion."

The Han army's eyes fell on the map, the mountainous area north of Pengcheng - Siwai Mountain.

"How is Siwai Mountain doing now?"

"A quarter of an hour later, there are no eight lines of defense in the Gaoshun camp at the foot of Siwai Mountain. The battle here will start before yours. Your army has broken through Gaoshun's first and seventh lines of defense, and is retreating to attack the eighth line. line of defense."

"Gao Shun is still in a daze until now, fully aware of your army's secret transfer."
