Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 671 Three Layers of Defense Tactics
The two banner battalions under Li Qing's command were responsible for the assault missions of the entire corps. The [-] Nanchuan soldiers were all light infantry and did not carry any heavy weapons with huge lethality. The original defensive weapons of Qinghe City were only a few unmaintained crossbows Machines, crossbow arrows are pitifully few.

"shooting!"

The crossbow machine began to roar, and the flashing crossbow bolts shot out with a crackling sound. The roaring crossbow bolts were so powerful that they knocked all the Rong cavalry off their horses, splashing a cloud of smoke on the ground.

However, there are too many Rong cavalry and too few crossbow arrows, so it is impossible to form intensive shooting at all, and the lethality is greatly reduced. Putting it on the city wall is better than nothing.

The Rong cavalrymen who were close to the city wall held the iron hook rope tightly with both hands, and stepped on the city wall with both feet, moving swiftly like a monkey, and quickly climbed towards the city wall.

Some soldiers from Nanchuan tried to lean out and cut off the ropes of the Rong soldiers, but just as they leaned out, they were shot and killed by the short bow soldiers of the Rong people who were shooting under the cover of the city.

Sergeant Major Li Qing is good at commanding heavy infantry in combat, and he likes the rampage of these steel monsters, but now commanding a small number of light infantry to defend against strong enemies makes him feel constrained.

He can also be regarded as a general with experience in defending the city. When he was in Austin, one of their regiments fully resisted the crazy attack of the main force of hundreds of thousands of red scarves for a whole day, but at that time Austin had stored a lot of excellent weapons. Weapons and equipment, there are 300 million spikes and arrows alone, which is completely the number of weapons that suppress the opponent.

But now the number of Nanchuan soldiers is insufficient, and there are few archers. There are no powerful things such as trebuchets, giant bed crossbows, and kerosene. Seeing the Rong cavalry continue to climb close to the city wall under the cover of bows and arrows, he is very anxious. The brain is running rapidly, thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Master Sergeant, they are coming up soon!" Someone shouted to remind Li Qing.

With the help of his shield, Li Qing glanced down. Sure enough, the climbing city of hundreds of Rong people was already less than a few meters away from them. With just a few more breaths, he could jump up the city wall. It will be close combat at that time. The only ones guarding the west city There are more than a thousand Nanchuan soldiers, and they can't fight the opponent at all.

"Three steps back for the bayonet fighters, stand behind the bayonet fighters, cover the crossbow fighters and shoot freely, and defend the battlements!" Li Qing was quick to wit, and immediately ordered loudly.

The Nanchuan soldiers who were originally mixed together immediately stood on top of their positions in a well-organized manner. The spear warriors held the spears tightly and left the battlements and took three steps back, leaving a gap to come out.

Sword and ax fighters stood densely behind the bayonet fighters. If the Rong cavalry who jumped on the city wall escaped the assassination of the bayonet fighters, they would have to deal with them in close combat. The bow and arrow fighters also looked nervous. Keep an eye on the battlements, ready to shoot.

Hearing a loud shout, a big rough hand suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlements, and then a sturdy figure leaped up from the steep city wall with the support of his arms, trying to jump onto the city wall.

The two Nanchuan archers who were aiming closely at the battlements loosened their bowstrings without hesitation. With the vibrato of the bowstrings, the sharp arrows sank into the body of the Rong soldiers with lightning speed. A meal in mid-air.

Immediately, it fell from mid-air, hit the edge of the battlements, and then slid down the city wall along the battlements, and then only heard a dull bang from below the city wall, and someone screamed, apparently someone was hit by a dead man falling from the sky middle.

More and more Rong soldiers jumped onto the battlements with ropes, but most of them were shot and killed by arrows before they could stand still, and then rolled down the city. There were also experienced Rong soldiers who did not stay on the battlements. With a tumbling, he jumped into the city wall and horseway.

The Rong soldiers who fell on the horse path subconsciously waved the sabers in their hands, trying to wipe out the surrounding defenders, but their sabers danced loudly, but they were cut in the air, because there was a lot of people around the battlements. There were no Nanchuan soldiers within a few steps, and the Rong soldiers' plan to create chaos fell through.

But soon the faces of the soldiers of the Rong tribe changed. A few steps away, several sharp spears had been stabbing at him vigorously. The angles of the spears were tricky. Throat, almost instantly, the Rong soldiers were stabbed through the body.

Stabbing, pulling out, and the movements of the stabbing soldiers are as familiar as clouds and flowing water, while the sturdy Rong soldiers were stabbed with several blood holes without even reacting, and then fell to the ground unwillingly, turning into a cold body. corpse.

There were also Rong cavalry who reacted quickly. When they saw the stabbing spears, they hurriedly blocked them with the sabers in their hands, and continued to charge forward, trying to kill these stabbing warriors in close combat. After all, in close combat, short weapons are more dominant.

But soon the Rong soldiers who had these ideas fell to nothing, and the Nanchuan knife and ax warriors who had been guarding behind the spearmen immediately stood up and went up to them.

The soldiers of the Rong tribe saw that they could not get any advantage in close combat, so they immediately pulled back and rushed towards the battlements, preparing to slide down the city wall along the ropes to escape their deaths. , the stabbing spear has penetrated the body of the Rong soldier from behind.

There are those who cannot reach the spears, and the crossbowmen will solve them. The simple three-layer defense system makes it impossible for the Rong soldiers who attack the city wall to stand up. If they do not attack forward, they will be shot by the opponent's bow and arrow. The bayonets and axe soldiers have double-layer insurance, but they will still be hit if they retreat, and they are caught in a dilemma.

Seeing the soldiers of the Rong tribe jumping bravely into the city wall one by one, there were continuous screams on the city wall, and Wushu, the chief of the Rong tribe who was watching the battle below the city, showed a smile on his face, "Who said that the Nanchuan army is powerful and elite? It's just a mob, and they didn't even hold on for half an hour."

Wu Shu happily imagined that after breaking the city, he should catch a few beautiful ladies. Although the grassland under the control of the Rong people is vast and boundless, it is actually a place of bitter cold. It is only comfortable for a short summer every year. A snowstorm is enough to destroy many large tribes with tens of thousands of people.

Wu Shu comes from a large tribe with a population of more than [-], and the [-]-strong team under his command are also warriors in his own tribe. This time he followed the Rong tribe's Great Khan to go to the dynasty, and now he has fallen in love with the richness here.

He is a bit reluctant to leave, his dream is to turn all the fertile land here into pastures for their horses, and turn all the dynasty people into their slaves, and then find a few beautiful dynasty women to enjoy the comfortable life of the nobility.

Wu Shu thought about it and couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He heard the screams coming from the city wall, and raised his head again, but his brows suddenly frowned. The warrior stepped onto the city wall, but Nanchuan's black battle flag was still flying, which made him very upset.

"Tell the warriors, cut off the battle flag of Nanchuan and replace it with the wolf flag of our Rong clan." Wu Shu directed to the commander of a thousand people beside him.

The leader of the thousand people responded and rode his horse towards Qinghe City. Little did Wu Shu know at this moment that the so-called warriors under his command were being massacred on the horse path of the city wall that he could not see. A piece of blood red.

Due to the limited supporting capacity of the ropes, they had to wait for the last group of people who jumped behind the city wall to continue climbing. As a result, the number of soldiers from the Rong tribe who climbed the city at a time was no more than 100, which provided the Nanchuan soldiers with loopholes to gradually break through.

In addition, what Li Qing pursued was to let them in and fight. Because of the blind spot, the people below the city could not see the massacre on the city wall and horse road at all. If you are dead, you will naturally not be able to get out.

Li Qing's three-layer defense system allowed the Rong soldiers to be killed one by one. The spears in the hands of the Nanchuan soldiers were already stained red with blood, and they stabbed continuously, and then the Rong soldiers who jumped in were killed continuously.
