Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 375: Standing firm

"How can the Shang army attack the city if they don't have siege equipment?" Le Yifu, standing at the west gate of Jiahe Pass, said to himself, stroking his beard.

The answer was quickly revealed.

While the merchant army surrounded Jiahe Pass from all sides, a six-armed giant rose from the ground in the distance.

His position was just outside the national border barrier. This man pounded the ground with both hands, smashing the flat ground into countless rocks. His other four hands picked up the gravel and threw it away.

Huge boulders hit the Xicheng Tower of Jiahe Pass like raindrops.

Even a tower as high as Jiahe Pass was hit by such a density without any precautions. The soldiers guarding the city were a little unsteady, and many of them fell off the tower.

Some of the more unlucky ones were directly killed by stones falling from the sky.

The soldiers who were happy to go away blocked the gravel for him, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure: "Quickly raise the Six Ding Liujia Formation!"

Teams of Taoist soldiers quickly climbed onto the city gate, stepping on the Yu steps. After they walked through the Li, Zhi, Huo, Tian, ​​Zun and Sheng steps, they silently recited the incantation, and the Six Ding Liujia formation was completed.

A golden shield quickly appeared on the west gate tower, blocking all attacks from the sky.

……

"Can Taoism still be used within the restrictions?" Chu Junhui's body followed Qu Xiangyao and asked.

"This is not a Taoist method, this is a military formation method. Buddhism has monk soldiers, and Taoism has Taoist soldiers. They are both special arms and can be used in military formations deliberately modified by some of the three religions."

"This is the Six Ding Liujia Formation. I know something about it. This formation is extremely useful when defending the city. Before the Taoist soldiers are exhausted, random arrows and stones will hardly fall on their defenders." Qu Xiangyao didn't look in a hurry.

"How to break it?"

"The public loser's puppet machine technique can create many interesting things. Those siege machines are the most restrained to this formation and are unstoppable."

"But it is a pity that the three religions are prosperous and the hundreds of schools are in decline. The inheritance of those families is somewhat difficult to continue, so it is difficult to see their presence on the battlefield where great powers compete for hegemony."

"Would you please change the direction when the traveler throws stones, so as to put more pressure on other city gates."

"No problem." Chu Jun returned to the spot and gave the order to the clone.

Qu Xiangyao put his hand on the sword at his waist and began to mobilize his troops.

"Ask General Zhao, who is in charge of marching to the east, to send three groups of soldiers to form a Poria formation and attack the east gate. But don't really attack and stop within a stone's throw."

"Yes!" The flag officer of the commander's camp took the order and waved the flag to convey the order to the distance.

"The western army and the commander's camp are pressing forward with all their strength, using the formation I set up last night to invite a fight at the Three Arrows."

"Yes."

……

Shang soldiers mostly used daggers and spears as weapons, and they could use both arms to exert force, which was far superior to short-hand soldiers.

At this time, the merchant army pressing over from the west was a little strange. They all tied a piece of dirty rag on the front of their weapons and swung it around as they walked, showing off.

Because if the long-handled weapons were to be thrown away, the distance had to be large, so their formation seemed a bit scattered.

"Leshuai, do you want to shoot them?" asked a Wei general on the west gate.

The defending side has a huge advantage over the attacking side...A very important point is that the defending side can easily kill the siege soldiers with long-range weapons, while the attacking side has a hard time raising their arrows. Shoot up the city wall at once to kill and injure the soldiers defending the city.

The heavy crossbows of the Wei and Yue coalition could shoot four arrows. At this time, the Shang army had already entered their shooting range, but Le Yifu did not order an attack.

Because the remaining power of the crossbow arrows will be exhausted when shooting four arrows, it is difficult to kill soldiers who are not marching intensively. It would be much better to wait until the opponent enters the three arrows position before releasing arrows. Shang Jun seemed to have figured out their thoughts and stopped at the edge of the Three Arrows Land without taking another step.

A young general in white robes rode out from the camp of the Shang army commander. He had a handsome appearance and unparalleled temperament. He was holding a green spear in his hand. The barrel of the spear was extremely irregular and often had protrusions. It was unknown what kind of weapon it was.

The young general was extremely arrogant, pointing his spear directly at the handsome flag with the word "乐" flying on the city gate in the distance.

There was a muffled thunder, and the spear in the young general's hand fired a hidden weapon, directly knocking down the flag of the Wei-Vietnam coalition.

"Rat, I want to fight a general, who dares to fight?"

"Rampant!" "I'll kill you!"

The generals at the west gate of Jiahe Pass were furious for a while, and they all asked Le Yigu to leave.

Le Yifu waved his hand and rejected their request.

He understood clearly... Fighting generals are just to help improve one's own morale and gather military strength, but this kind of thing does not play a big role in siege warfare.

The Art of War says: "If you are ten, besiege it; if you are five, attack it."

Once the war enters the stage of siege, it is purely a matter of numbers. When the strength gap between the two sides is not large, it is generally necessary to have five times the strength of the enemy before they dare to attack the city.

The number of the merchant army is less than half that of the Wei-Vietnam coalition. If they really dare to attack the city, they will come and eat as much as they dare.

So the simplest reason for this battle is...as long as they enter the siege battle, the Wei-Vietnam coalition will directly secure victory.

The merchant army smashed the pots and demolished the camp, and there was no way out. If they could not attack for a long time, they would surely destroy themselves!

"Hold tight and don't come out." Le Yifu ordered.

……

The young general in white robe is Chu Junhui's true form.

Even though he had changed his attire, the person facing him wouldn't recognize him as a traveler. This was mainly because there were all kinds of talents in the army, but his face had been disguised, and even his own mother wouldn't recognize him when she saw him.

The Wei-Vietnam coalition remained silent for a long time and did not leave the city to fight with him... It was exactly the same as the script Qu Xiangyao told him.

So Chu Junhui read the lines according to the script, cursed in front of the formation, and tried to use the gun of truth to snipe anyone who showed up.

The arrow travels in an arc, but the gun is much straighter.

In order to defend against the continuous stone-throwing attacks, the Liuding Liujia Formation could only raise their shields above their heads, but they could not care about a very straight frontal attack. After more than ten minutes, Chu Xianfeng leisurely killed more than twenty people without any damage. An enemy army.

There are a few generals here, and they look like they are not insignificant... The Wei-Vietnam coalition couldn't hold back any longer, so they fired several rounds of crossbows to vent their anger.

The heavy shield soldiers in front of the merchant army were well prepared. They raised their shields directly, formed a gate formation, and erected a high shield wall to block all the crossbow arrows.

The place where the Shang army stopped was not the best range for the crossbow arrows, so the arrows did not have much power. Let alone blocking a few rounds, it would be no problem to block dozens of rounds like this.

When the Wei-Vietnam coalition came from the west, except for the time when the three armies were pierced by the travelers, they had never suffered such great injustice.

"Leshuai, if I wish to issue a military order, I will kill that young general's head!"

"Le Shuai, 400,000 versus 200,000, there is a barrier to national destiny, why don't you dare to fight!"

"Yes, Leshuai, the traveler throwing stones in the distance is not here. Apart from him, who else in the Shang army is worthy of a fight? Why do you let that young general act so recklessly here?"
