Chapter 288

"Pay attention to defense, and watch out for the enemy's counterattack!" Gan Zongwang looked at the neatly and neatly paced enemy army, with a dignified look on his face.He knew that this enemy army was the Hengshan Army, and the defense of the city had completely extinguished the hope of the army to capture the city.Now that they have become the attacking side, their power is still undiminished, the battle formation is well-organized, and the momentum is high. It seems that this time it will be a hard battle.

"Tap-tat-tat!" Row after row of arrays marched forward step by step to the sound of drums.

"Fire the crossbow arrows and crush them!" A crossbow arrow aimed at the tight formation, and the sound of "swish swish!" was heard endlessly.

"Raise the shield! Defend!" With a shrill cry, the sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their shields to protect their eyes.But it was of no use, the crossbow bolt pierced through the shield with one strike, and ruthlessly pierced into the soldier's chest.Inertia led him to keep retreating. Fortunately, there was a spearman behind him, and when he saw this, he immediately blocked him to prevent the formation from being disrupted.After the crossbow arrow penetrated the shield and the shield soldier's body, the remaining energy dissipated, and the entire arrow was inserted into the shield and the soldier's body.

As some shield soldiers in the front row were shot, a vacancy immediately appeared in the formation, and the shield soldiers from the rear immediately squeezed to the front to fill the vacant positions.After the team paused for a while, they immediately resumed their order and continued to move forward to the camp.

"Archers shoot!~" The archers in the battalion immediately shot the arrows in their hands, and the arrows were like locusts, and they rushed towards the Hengshan army overwhelmingly.

"Tortoise armor array! Line up!" With an order, all the shield soldiers immediately raised their shields high and tilted them in mid-air.The spearman behind him immediately stretched out a hand to help hold one end of the shield, completely covering the sky above his head.In an instant, the entire formation was covered by layers of shields, like fish scales, or a huge tortoise shell.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"Crossbow arrows!" At the same time, the ballista fired again, and a crossbow arrow penetrated into the shield formation, piercing through the shield and breaking up the formation.The tortoise shell formation cracked several times in an instant, and flying arrows shot into it from time to time, causing several screams.

However, the Hengshan army was not in disarray after being hit by this blow, and the formation still maintained the basic shape, moving forward tenaciously.And the gap is on the way, slowly adjusting, slowly closing.

However, at a distance of tens of meters, the crossbows and bows and arrows fired in unison, trying to break up the enemy's formation.The Hengshan army still endured constant casualties and kept moving forward, leaving behind them a series of dead bodies.

Finally, the Hengshan archers also arrived within the arrow range. At this time, the bows and arrows in the big camp were basically pouring on the big formation.The archers took advantage of this opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack.The archers in the first row raised their heads to shoot, immediately squatted down, pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver, and put the arrow on the string.The second row is the same as the first row. Immediately after shooting, squat down and get ready for the next round.After six rounds in this way, the archers in the first row immediately stood up, drew their bows and shot arrows again, and then squatted down.The entire arrow array repeated like this, and the arrow rain continued, wave after wave falling into the camp.Countless screams came from the battalion, and the rain of arrows fired at the formation was much sparser.

The battalion immediately discovered the threat of the archers, and immediately dispatched some archers to counterattack the enemy archers behind the formation.For a while, the archers of both sides hurt each other, but they still stood firm, desperately shooting the arrows in their hands into each other's body.

At this time, the tortoise shell formation finally approached the camp more than ten meters away, and the opponent's arrows could no longer fall on their heads through the fence.Then he saw the opponent's fence suddenly opened wide, and a group of people rushed out again, charging towards the formation.

"Vertical shield! Fortified wall array, line up!"

Immediately, the formation began to adjust rapidly, and the sword and shield hands gathered at the front, erecting strong shields one after another; the spearmen stood behind them, and pointed their spears forward diagonally.

"Kill!" The two sides were so close to each other, jealous when they saw each other, they burst into roars, and they collided in an instant, strangling into a ball.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Hengshan Army held their shields in front of them, and the spearmen behind them kept stabbing the enemy in front of the shield with their spears, and blood splashed everywhere under the continuous thrusts. .

The sword and shield soldiers desperately used their shields to continuously collide with the enemy's charge, and the shields were quickly completely scrapped under the continuous collisions.They smashed the broken shields into the crowd, drew out their sabers, and slashed at the enemy fiercely.

The two sides fought frantically under the big camp, the Hengshan Army fought to the death without retreating, and firmly held on to this position, not retreating half a step.However, countless enemy troops still poured out of the fence, rushing towards the formation, trying to disperse and strangle them.

Luo Yi looked at the battle situation on the battlefield with cold eyes, and the command power held in his hand stopped in mid-air, refusing to drop it for a long time.

At this moment, Lin Yifan was not as relaxed as before, his eyes were fixed on the battlefield where the sound of killing was shaking, his hands were tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, and his face was serious.

Li Yuan opened his mouth, looking at the fierce battle in front of him in amazement, his eyes showing fear from time to time.

Gan Zongwang gritted his teeth tightly and kept roaring in his heart, "Collapse quickly, collapse quickly!"

From time to time, his eyes glanced at the thousands of cavalry not far away, and the hand holding the saber at his waist trembled uncontrollably.

The battle was still going on, and the two sides refused to give in to each other. On the ground, countless corpses piled up horizontally, and blood seeped along the ground along the corpses, converging into bloody ditches, winding and spreading.The two sides stepped on bloody water and corpses, swords and guns clashed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At this time, countless soldiers and horses of the imperial army gathered outside the big camp, flocking into the big formation.And the crowds inside and outside the open fence were in a state of chaos.Luo Yi's eyes were fixed, and the command flag he held high was swung down heavily.

A melodious horn sounded, and the heavy cavalry who had been standing still on the wings immediately galloped out impatiently, and the sound of iron hoofs sounded like thunder.

Seeing this, Gan Zongwang's face changed drastically, damn it, he finally came.Before the enemy army was defeated, another cavalry came from two wings.He originally had a fluke mentality, and wanted to defeat the enemy quickly before the enemy cavalry was dispatched.Unexpectedly, the enemy army is so tenacious. Under the disadvantage of numbers, they can still stick to it until now. It is really strong.

"Hurry up, Mingjin withdraws troops!" Immediately, Gan Zongwang immediately issued an order that this battle is impossible, and the troops must be withdrawn as soon as possible and stick to the camp.

But now the fence was crowded with soldiers, and when they heard the sound of Mingjin, they began to retreat one after another.The soldiers of the imperial army who were fighting were no longer interested in fighting. The opponent's combat power was too strong, and they could not defeat it even though they fought desperately. Many people had already begun to fear in their hearts.But under the supervision of the general, he had to grit his teeth and persist.Now when he heard the sound of Mingjin, he felt like a deflated ball, and he didn't want to fight any more.Many people started to turn around and run, trying to escape back to the camp.As a result, the soldiers outside the camp suddenly became chaotic, pushing the crowd in front, desperately trying to squeeze in.

But at this moment, the Hengshan army would not let go of this opportunity. When an enemy army wanted to run away, they immediately cheered excitedly.

"Kill!" The imperial army, who had no intention of fighting, was frightened by the roar of the Hengshan army, and hurried into the camp with all their strength, and some even did not hesitate to kill each other, just to fight for an escape route for themselves.

"Boom boom boom~!" At this moment, three thousand heavy cavalry finally arrived, crashing into the retreating crowd, plowing a bloody path in an instant.

Gan Zongwang's face turned pale. He never expected that things would turn out like this.In his usual drills, the tactics of surprise attack and counterattack have been quite mature. As long as the soldiers repel the enemy, they can enter the camp safely and orderly.But now because they couldn't defeat the enemy, the soldiers panicked and forgot about the usual drills, only thinking about how to rush into the camp and save their lives.

"Hurry up, block the fence immediately, and absolutely don't let the opponent's cavalry come in!"

"But, General, we still have many soldiers who have not come in yet."

"Bastard, is there still time at this time? Go!" Gan Zongwang kicked the general and shouted.
