Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 204 Intense Exploration
The early morning wind cleared away the thick smoke from the battlefield. Several large trebuchets aimed at a not-too-high fortress, throwing huge polished boulders. Every time they bombarded, the walls of the opposite castle seemed to tremble.

'boom! There was a loud noise, and under the constant bombardment of the trebuchet, a corner of the castle wall finally collapsed.

Excited howls sounded, and countless figures in the Khotan army cheered and jumped, and they even picked up the weapons in their hands and kept shaking them.

Some anxious soldiers wanted to rush over, but they were all controlled by officers holding sticks around them.

An arrow with colored tail feathers was inserted on the side of the officers. Anyone who dared to get close to this arrow would be beaten mercilessly by the officers.

crunch!crunch!The catapult players began to check the various parts, ready for the next bombardment, the gap made this time is a bit small? , It doesn't make much sense to rush over.

But at this moment, there was a burst of people shouting and neighing in the fortress, and dozens of cavalrymen jumped out of the gap and fled along the river to Kesai City.

Seeing this situation, the drums in the army surrounding the castle rang, and a flag with a big horse on a white background waved for a while, and hundreds of cavalry in black leather armor came out of the formation.

Each of them held a longbow, roared and shot arrows, and soon entangled the cavalry who ran out of the castle gap.

'Boom!Boom! 'A more vigorous drum sounded, and the officer in front of the army quickly pulled out the colored tail feather arrows stuck on the ground, then drew out the horizontal knife at his waist, and pointed towards the fortress.

Immediately!Boundless tribesmen in leather robes holding short knives howled and rushed towards the direction pointed by the officer.

They seemed to be runaway wild horses, or vicious dogs that saw their bones. They had no formation and no rules. The united soldiers in the countryside of the Central Plains were more disciplined than them in fighting each other.

"Made, useless bastard!" Shan Zhuer cursed bitterly.

Most of these dogs are from various tribes who have recently come to seek refuge. They have been trained for more than a month in three days and one exercise, and they are still similar to mobs.

However, it is enough to be cannon fodder, Shanzhu'er thought about it, and immediately saw it a lot.

When the Khotan army was besieging Fort Kadir and attacking, two armies of thousands of people were testing each other in the direction of Kesai City.

One party was wearing a uniform black robe, but some of the black robes were bulging, which seemed to be wearing armor inside, and most of them were basically wearing black robes.

On the other side, the soldiers wore neater blue armor, probably to distinguish them from the other side. Their helmets were of a peculiar style, with red tassels inserted into the dome, which seemed to have two layers.
However, compared to the helmets, their armor is even more peculiar, maybe it shouldn't be called armor, because apart from some round-bottomed copper nails, there are almost no iron armor leaves on the surface, and it doesn't seem to have much protection!

The two armies were holding infantry bows, and approached slowly under the command of drums and horns, which showed that the two armies were elite, because almost all those who dared to hold the bow and arrow in their hands on the battlefield had two brushes.

And when the two armies approached each other, there were already shouts and screams from around.

These are two hussars covering the approach of the infantry. They have already handed over their hands in advance, three hundred against three hundred, and they are constantly pulling back and forth.

The cavalry on both sides were unarmoured.Therefore, they appear to be extremely flexible, and they are not really close to melee combat. Instead, they are separated by thirty or forty steps, constantly adjusting their formation and tilting towards each other, sending out waves of arrow rain. The fight is very lively, but the casualties are not high. Time can't tell the difference.

After sixty steps, there was a sound of a drum, and the infantry on both sides began to scream like apes almost at the same time.

Almost at the same time, a rain of arrows flew across the sky. The sound of the bow string vibrating and the sound of the arrow piercing through the air made one's scalp tingle. Trembling.

The four hundred soldiers of Regret Shandu faced off against the eleven hundred elite heavy infantry of Kesai City, and the strength and weakness were determined almost instantly.

Although the difference between the arrows thrown by the two sides was twice, but regrettable Shandu only fell down a few people sparsely. Although the rest were covered with arrow shafts, they did not suffer any injuries at all.

The situation in Kesai City was miserable. About 40 people fell to the ground directly. The screams combined with the blood that flowed all over the ground immediately knocked down the morale of the infantry in Kesai City.

Amidst the screams, the second round of bow and arrow shooting began again, and the result was not surprising. Sad Mountain was almost undamaged, but dozens of people fell down in Kesai City.

"Forward! Forward! Arrows can't pierce the armor. We are too many, so we are close to stabbing with long spears!" A thirsty city officer in armor yelled loudly.

Under his order, the infantrymen of Kesai City, who had already lost almost 70 people, put away their infantry bows, turned to draw out their spears and quickly formed a dense formation, charging towards the soldiers of Regret Shandu.

"Change the Modao!" Yan Jin shouted, almost without ordering, the soldiers in Regret Mountain City automatically began to gather, and formed a fairly neat square formation.

Now all the soldiers in Regret Mountain Capital are equipped with Mo Dao. For these elites, Mo Dao is more useful than long spears, because Mo Dao's slashing can scare the enemy faster, much faster than long spears.

'Shua! 'Almost at the same time, the three hundred Mo knives in the front row were erected, as if they were being operated by the same person.

At this time, there were still more than five meters away from the contact between the two sides, but almost all the infantrymen in Kesai City trembled in their hearts!
This is still hitting Nima, absolutely can't beat it, two thoughts rushed into their hearts in an instant.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the three-meter range, the infantrymen of Kesai City hadn't aligned their scattered formations, and had just raised their spears to stab them, when three hundred Mo knives almost fell from the sky.

The Zhongzhenku is made of good pig iron, and even the Mo Dao that came out directly, combined with the long-term training of the soldiers of Shangyu Shandu, the three hundred Mo Dao have exerted great power.

Not to mention that both men and horses are broken, but if you cut off the shoulder, you will lose an arm, and if you cut off the head, you can cut the man and the dog together. It can still be done.

Immediately, the front row of the infantry in Kesai City was in chaos. At least 70 people fell down at this moment.

The casualties caused by the two rounds of arrow rain just now were greater, and even the officer who ordered them to come forward was seriously injured.

The excellent piercing armor failed to block the thunderous blow, almost all the armor leaves on the chest were chopped into pieces, and black blood gushed out along the huge damage groove left by Mo Dao.

This is Yan Jin's masterpiece. He is not only the Captain of Regret Shandu, but also the Modao instructor of Regret Shandu, and he is also one of the best warriors in Regret Shandu.

Under his full blow, even if he couldn't break the armor, relying on the strength of the blow alone, he could cut the enemy out.

'Shua! Almost within two breaths after the end of the first round of Mo Dao slashing, the regret Shandu Mo Daomen in the second row had already slashed out again, and the infantrymen of Kesai City who were in chaos suddenly fell down several more ten people.

This is Regret Shandu's Mo Dao fighting method. After the first row slashes, immediately turn sideways, and then the second row will pass through the gap to make a second cut, and then the first row will make a third cut.

During the training, they were able to slash for 21 consecutive rounds without stopping. This is truly overwhelming, and no army can bear it at all.

"Defeated! Lost!"

"Run! Run!"

Before the third round of Mo Dao was cut out, more than a thousand infantrymen in Kesai City collapsed in an instant.

They yelled at each other and immediately dispersed, the sound of defeat and defeat spread everywhere, and almost everyone was shouting.

Crashed, but not completely, 'lost!Lost! 'It's not for nothing, it's the people in the front row giving the signal to the back row, telling the front row that they can't hold on anymore.

In this way, the back row will not be squeezed forward, which greatly reduces the chaotic situation of congestion, so that most people can quickly leave the battlefield. This is an escape stunt for veterans.

But they were lucky, because Regret Shandu didn't intend to pursue them at all, and their goal was not to block the city, but the Persians brought from Juzhan.

Thirsty, Yu Supu closed his eyes with a pale face, then turned his head and walked down the city.

"Ma Heimu, arrange people to block the four gates, strictly control the food and grass, tell all the officers, prepare to defend!"

Zhang Zhao watched the group of gorgeously dressed people disappear from the front of Kesai City, a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Tell the ministries to pull out the forts outside the city one by one according to the established plan, speed up the collection and transfer of military rations, and focus on defending the Persians on the southern edge of the water."

The noisy day ended, and the windy night came. The camp of the Khotan army was still relatively warm.

Because Zhang Zhao asked people to collect a large amount of firewood and warm clothes in advance, especially among the most elite soldiers, almost everyone had a small padded jacket, and the effect of keeping warm had gone up several steps.

"My lord, our scouts have already monitored the Persians, but they can only be placed at a distance of about fifteen to twenty miles from them.

Because some Persian players have good fighting power, especially their war horses, which are better than ours. If we rely on the military stronghold for defensive cover, we will not be able to defeat them. "

Zhang Zhao hadn't slept yet, because Bai Congxin and Ashinasili had returned from the front line monitoring the Persians.

These days, Zhang Zhao's You Yidu and the Baximi cavalry have been fighting with the Persian scouts. Both sides suffered casualties, but the Persians were much bigger.

However, after they relied on the military stronghold for defensive cover recently, the casualties in You Yidu also increased.

"If you can't get in, don't force it. Let the brothers fix it a little bit more. Are there still no signs of the Persians moving?"

Zhang Zhao nodded to express his understanding. His own cavalry had to leave the camp for seventy or eighty miles to fight, and the enemy would have to suffer a lot if they could rely on the army stronghold.

"No action, the dog slave Adulal is really calm!
Just more than a hundred miles away, the troops stood still and sent cavalry to explore along the Yaosha River every day. We went to ambush them and retreated. I don't think he has any intention of sending troops to rescue. "

Hearing Zhang Zhao's question about this, Yan Jin couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhang Zhao was also lost in thought. He now only has 40,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] people are mobs.

It would take only a few months to take down Kesai City with this strength, and he still didn't dare to attack the city with all his strength.

Adulal, this old dog is really difficult to deal with, is he going to use gunpowder again?Or, can you stimulate the Persians with something?
