The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 151 Taking advantage of the situation

The city wall in Yanchang County is not very tall. The main reason is that the foundation is not good. Reinforcement and heightening require a lot of manpower and material resources.

There are not many defenses on the city wall, but they are very critical things, such as the giant bed crossbow, which can be defeated by thousands of people.

Liu Zhenhua has discovered that gold juice, boulders, and rolling logs not only take up space, but are actually not that useful. One thousand enemies are worth all of them.

The garrison of Yanchang County is more or less, with a thousand township warriors and a thousand militiamen. The city wall of Yanchang County is not long in the first place, so the garrison strength on the city wall seems to be very sufficient.

The bed crossbows in four directions were already surrounded by people, and the huge spears and three sword arrows on the sixteen bed crossbows shone with cold light.

Wang Wu stroked the crossbow with his hand. He had never seen this thing before when he was guarding the city. Wang Wu was a little lucky. Fortunately, the Kitchen King did not pull this thing out in the form of a chariot when he was guarding the city. Otherwise, he could It's another thing to say if you can't live.

"Prepare!"

Wang Wu looked serious. Following his order, the winch of the bed crossbow made a banging sound, and one shot and three swords and arrows were sent to the launcher, ready to go.

The opponent has already completed the encirclement, and now it is just shrinking the encirclement.

When the enemy appeared within the range of the bed crossbow, a flash of enthusiasm flashed across Wang Wu's face. He had never seen the power of the bed crossbow since it was placed on the city wall, and now he finally had a chance.

"put!"

Wang Wu shouted loudly.

"collapse!"

Three swords and arrows shot out in one shot, and the sword body swayed like a stream of light.

The four bed crossbows in the west of the city burst out almost at the same time.

The terrain of Yanchang County is also similar to that of Yonghe. To be precise, the terrain of this area is basically the same. There are many ravines, and a slightly flat place can be developed into a county seat.

Yanchang County is long and narrow from east to west and wide from north to south. Of course, the width here is only relative to the east and west. If you have a modern satellite map and look down from top to bottom, you can see that Yanchang County, including the flat land outside the county, presents a diamond shape.

This kind of terrain makes the enemies surrounding Yanchang City in the west seem a bit crowded.

Straight out from Yan'an, facing Yanchang, it was naturally Hong Chengchou's main attacking force. The soldiers pushed siege vehicles and ladders covered with wet cowhide towards the front.

This wet cowhide cart is specially used to deal with Kitchen King's "ten thousand enemies". The outside of the ladder is wrapped with soaked cowhide. It can be said that the flames can't burn through it. People hide under the ladder until they get closer. The ladder extended out, and a ladder for climbing the city was formed.

This is also the reason why Yang He is confident this time. After all, last time, they did not have many soldiers, and they did not have siege equipment. In addition, the soldiers were not well equipped. Even so, they still almost broke through the city wall and were finally defeated. The enemy of ten thousand people fought back directly. Now, they have the means to deal with the enemy of ten thousand people. They have more people, more elite equipment, and more powerful siege equipment.

What to lose.

This battle will be won, Yang He will definitely return victorious and enter the capital in triumph.

"boom!"

A shot of three swords and arrows instantly shattered the ladder covered with wet cowhide. The soldiers hiding in it and the soldiers pushing carts around were also torn apart by the shot of three swords and arrows with reduced power. If it were not wrapped in cowhide, the broken The wood fragments that come out can also cause considerable damage.

This huge bed crossbow can almost shatter an entire earthen wall with one blow. Although the soaked cowhide is tough, it is obviously unable to resist.

For a moment, wailing sounds sounded, and those who were hit by one gun and three sword arrows basically had no intact parts of their bodies, and the huge kinetic energy could easily tear their limbs into pieces.

"Brilliant."

Although it was far away, it could not hold up the huge size of the ladder. When it collapsed, its power was even more astonishing. Wang Wu looked enthusiastic. Just by looking at the collapse of the ladder, he knew how powerful the crossbow was.

The surrounding soldiers also let out a burst of cheers. Most of them were natives of Yanchang and had never seen the huge power of the bed crossbow. Seeing this scene now, everyone was extremely excited, because the military merits won by the bed crossbow were equally divided among them. .

"Stop howling, save your strength, and quickly load the arrow!"

Wang Wu shouted excitedly.

"One two! One two!"

The soldiers shouted slogans, and loading the crossbows controlled by thirty people still took a lot of effort.

But when the loading is completed, this big killer will show its edge again.

"Zhenzhengzheng, one of our ladders was damaged, and the other party has an unknown and powerful bow!"

A soldier knelt on the ground and reported to Hong Chengchou, "Order the army to advance at full speed! Attack the city immediately! Let the infantry disperse and stay away from the siege vehicles and ladders."

Bed crossbow, that damn bed crossbow again. There is almost nothing you can do when encountering this kind of bed crossbow. Not to mention resisting it, the shield player may have a higher mortality rate after going up than without a shield. After all, with the shield, they occupy an area Being bigger makes it easier to be hit by a bed crossbow. If hit by such a big crossbow arrow, you will die.

The same is true for ladder siege vehicles. They are too conspicuous and can easily become targets of bed crossbows. However, there is no way. So far, there is no way to deal with bed crossbows. The only thing that can be done is to charge quickly and rush to the city. In this way First of all, the bed crossbow is useless. After all, due to its size and angle, this thing can only shoot units fifty meters away in front of the city wall.

"rush!"

"kill!"

The soldiers rushed forward at full speed, and the people pushing the siege vehicles and ladders worked harder. However, even so, they gradually distanced themselves from the infantry.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the siege vehicles and ladders relied on human power to propel them, and due to the uneven road surface, the speed could not be increased at all.

"Whoosh!"

One shot, three swords and arrows were thrown into the crowd, instantly causing a bloody storm.

Fortunately, there was Hong Chengchou's dispersal order, otherwise more people would have been killed.

The damage caused by the four bed crossbows is not too much, but it mainly relies on the bloodshed after hitting to put psychological pressure on the enemy. If it were an ordinary miscellaneous army, it would probably be defeated by this, but now these armies are Yang He after all. Elite built with a lot of money.

One by one, the crossbows were fired towards the front.

"Crossbowman ready!"

If the opponent is close, the bed crossbow will not be able to do much damage. At this time, it is time for the crossbowman equipped with the divine arm bow to come on stage.

Liu Zhenhua's crossbowmen have always been used wherever they are needed. Yanchang is a strategic location, and almost two-thirds of the crossbowmen are here.

The infantrymen carrying ladders walked in the front. Wang Wu stared at the soldiers. There were only two hundred crossbowmen on this wall. Good steel must be used on the blade. If you want to shoot, you must shoot these crossbowmen carrying ladders.

"Aim at the guy carrying the ladder on the other side! Shoot!"

Wang Wu gave the order.

Two hundred crossbowmen pulled the trigger instantly.

Arrows fell like rain, but it was just local rain.

The soldiers carrying the ladders were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but they were quickly replaced by others. This is how it is on the battlefield. As long as you are alive, you must keep rushing forward. If you don't want to die, just move forward.

Hong Chengchou's troops also fought back. They had many more archers than Wang Wu's crossbowmen.

Suddenly, a denser rain of arrows fell.

But Wang Wu had experienced an extended defense war. How could he not know how to deal with it? The wooden planks on the city wall were erected one after another.

"Dang, Dang, Dang." The arrows landed on the wooden board. At most, some people were injured through the shoulders of the wooden board. Wang Wu sneered, this is a little trick.

While the opponent's crossbowmen were reloading, Hong Chengchou's soldiers rushed forward like crazy. After three rounds of shooting, the soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall and the ladders were put up.

The archers in the distance were still half-kneeling on the ground, shooting arrows and suppressing the people on the city top. Wang Wu looked at the situation below through the observation hole.

"Ten thousand enemies!"

"Open your shield when throwing!"

He seemed to be commanding calmly, but his heart was pounding.

I don’t know when Kitchen King’s soldiers and horses will arrive, so I can only hold on for now. Fortunately, the killing effect of ten thousand enemies is still there, and the opponent’s cowhide ladder is still behind, so if a ten thousand enemies are thrown down, it will There was a heat wave.

Each enemy instantly turned into a burning person.

To the east of Yanchang County, the terrain is long and narrow, like a canyon. The road into Yanchang is between this canyon. There are archers and soldiers ambushed on both sides. They are all looking into the distance. The scouts have found out that the opponent's army is approaching.

The person in charge of this ambush was Du Si Aimu, "This time it is called encirclement and reinforcement."

Aimu thought in his mind that they occupied a favorable terrain, and if they wanted to extend their aid quickly, this place was the only way to go. If they took a detour, it would take at least an extra day to travel back and forth. The other side couldn't afford it, so they would definitely pass by here.

If the opponent enters the canyon, the archers shoot, and the soldiers carry the rolling rocks. Taking advantage of the terrain, the lethality is amazing. The soldiers follow the rolling rocks down, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and they will definitely be able to wipe out the opponent's reinforcements.

"Tap Tap!"

The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, seeming to shake down the surrounding rocks. Dust was flying in the distance, and thousands of horses galloped.

"The Kitchen King really has two thousand cavalry."

Aimu looked at this scene and thought to himself, this Kitchen King is really magical. In this world, it is rare to be able to gather two thousand riders.

"Send the cavalry over and attack the infantry behind me!"

Aimu commanded that the cavalry moved forward very quickly. If their subordinates used the ambush here to attack the cavalry, it would not cause too much damage. After the cavalry passed by, there would naturally be an infantry formation to deal with it. The slow-moving infantry behind them would be theirs. main target.

The cavalry galloped past, and Yang Lichao rushed to the front with a gun in one hand. He glanced at the cliffs on both sides and said, "Drive!"

He shouted loudly, and the horse galloped past, galloping towards Yanchang.

"The infantry is less than a hundred meters away from here!"

"Less than fifty meters!"

The scout in front reported the situation of the infantry, "No need to report anymore! Hurry up and hide yourself!"

Aimu passed down the order, and Taniguchi could almost see the infantrymen lined up in a long formation. The infantrymen were all running forward, and their speed was not too slow.

"Be prepared, wait until the front of the infantry passes a hundred meters, and then attack together!"

Aimu's hands holding the weapons were already sweating. If they failed to block the enemy's reinforcements, it would be a crime of beheading.

"kill!"

The cry to kill rang out, and Aimu's body trembled. He was about to stand up but his face was stunned. Who shouted to kill? Wasn't his order to kill the enemy's infantry a hundred meters away?

Aimu suddenly realized that the cry of killing was coming from behind. He suddenly turned his head and looked around. Dozens of strong men emerged from nowhere behind him. They were all wearing light armor and holding a huge long knife. It rushed toward them with a ferocious look.

These dozens of swordsmen dared to attack thousands of them on one side.

Looking towards the opposite side, it was still the same.

"madman."

Ai Mu secretly thought in his heart, feeling a little scared.

"Come with 300 people to meet the enemy with Pontus! The rest, attack the infantry!"

After calming down, Aimu shouted, holding a halberd and leading his troops towards the swordsmen.

There were only fifty people, and three hundred of them were enough. This was Aimu's idea, but when the two parties came into contact, he realized how outrageous his idea was.

These people are so terrifying. They are like killing gods. The long knives in their hands are more than eight feet long. With their six-foot bodies, they are all fat and as strong as cattle. They can open and close when they swing. Everyone's guns were broken everywhere.

The soldiers who followed Dusi Aimu were hardly the enemy of the other side.

About fifty swordsmen actually charged and killed 300 of them and were completely defeated.

The handle of Aimu's halberd also broke. He had to drop his weapon and retreat in a hurry. He quickly called for everyone to cover him and did not bother to attack the infantrymen who were accompanying him below.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Aimu didn't encounter Mo Dao Shou last time, so naturally he didn't know its terrifying power.

This is just light armor. If it were heavy armor, Mo Daoshou would only attack but not defend, and its power would be even more terrifying.

Fifty people faced thousands of people, but they felt like they were in a deserted place. Not only were these people powerful, but they were also fearless of death when they charged.

Aimu only felt that the other party seemed not to be a human being, and did not show any cowardice.

Because the two sides were fighting together, the archers could not play their role. They could only throw their bows aside and respond to the enemy with their spears. With the addition of these archers, their defeat was slower.

Don't think that archers are weak because they are long-range. In fact, archers in ancient times were the best among infantry. After all, pulling a bow requires a strong body and unparalleled arm strength.

Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms was a horse archer.

"kill!"

Although Mo Daoshou suffered casualties, they still did not retreat even half a step. They gradually entered the enemy's formation, and then coordinated in groups to form a battle formation in the center of the enemy.

In the distance, more than a hundred people came to attack with spears. Aimu looked panicked and said, "It's over. Where did this person come from?"

The other party had obviously expected that they would set up an ambush here, and they had planned this trick.

Their mission to block the enemy's reinforcements was probably going to fail. Ai Mu's face was ashen. It was hard for Yang He not to take down the Stove King, and it was equally hard for him to fail now.

In the distance, at the mouth of the canyon, Liu Zhenhua held a telescope and looked at the situation in and on the canyon. The infantry passed safely. Although there were casualties, they were not many. The battle on the canyon also began to show a one-sided trend. He put down the telescope and looked at Looking at Zhang Heizi who was following him, "You have done great work in exploring the terrain, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver and three stones of food."

The person who led the way up the mountain was Zhang Heizi. He had traveled back and forth between Yanchuan and Yanchang for days. Zhang Heizi was familiar with every ravine in this mountain ravine, as if he knew the wrinkles on his forehead when he smiled.

"Thank you, Kitchen King."

Zhang Heizi happily half-knelt on the ground to receive the reward.
