A violent sound wave swept out, and the soldier was shocked immediately, and then stood up straight in front of Xu Huang trembling.

"It's... a command!"

After replying to Xu Huang nonchalantly, the soldier quickly took advantage of his speed and ran towards the place not far away where everyone was carrying luggage.

At the same time, the fierce first drum beat gradually slowed down. Amidst the heavy and slow sound of the drum, a group of assembled longbowmen began to hold their heads high and march towards the camp not far away.

……

"preparation--"

"put!"

Accompanied by the sound of high-pitched orders, all the archers lined up in three rows, standing in front of the camp.

Nearly two thousand longbows were drawn at the same time, just like a picture that was copied and pasted. Under the command of the commander, the two thousand longbowmen shot almost at the same time, and a large number of feathered arrows poured out towards the camp in the distance like rain. .

"Shh-"

A wave of pure white feathered arrows flashed past Xu Huang's eyes, and the slender arrow branches soared into the sky like dark clouds in an instant, and then descended towards the camp in the distance like a piercing divine punishment.

Since the quality of archers' weapons is different, and their strength is also quite different, when this wave of two thousand long arrows is shot, it is still an extremely tight cluster, but when it falls, it is like raindrops. Not only did the coverage area become extremely wide, but the sound of arrow clusters shooting into the ground, wood, and human body lasted for several seconds before gradually stopping.

Almost completely synchronized, the bursts of crying and wailing were like a signal, kicking off the prelude to this somewhat unusual siege.

Chapter 58 Siege

Following the order of several commanders, Xu Huang's two thousand longbowmen took the lead, and immediately poured a rain of arrows towards the camp not far away.

Almost at the same time, bursts of puffing sounds of fleshy arrows and wailing sounds of bandits resounded above the camp.

……

"what--"

……

"No, someone shoots an arrow, quickly hide!"

……

"I was hit by an arrow, save me, save me quickly!"

……

There were bursts of loud wailing and cries for help. In the situation of blind shooting and throwing just now, although the round of arrow rain was huge, it actually had very limited lethality against the bandits.

It’s just that long-range weapons are like this. Before the emergence of cross-age weapons such as muskets, whether it is bows and arrows, trebuchets or artillery, their role on the battlefield is not just to kill and injure the enemy.

In the case of mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations, although the arrow rain just now did not directly kill many enemies, but the kind of people who don't know what happened, where the enemy is, and when they will be killed by an arrow on the battlefield The panic of Liu Ya's killing quickly spread in Shan Yue's camp.

This is the unique deterrence of long-range weapons.

In fact, in the arrow rain just now, only a few bandits were directly hit by the arrows because of their bad luck and being too close to the wall of the camp, and they fell to the ground without making a sound.

But most of the thieves were only hit by those flying arrows in their limbs, buttocks and legs, which did not hinder their lives much.

It's just that in this situation, seeing his former colleagues wailing covered in blood, and seeing his comrades not far away being knocked down by arrows, these Shanyue still couldn't help but start to lose control of their expressions, and cried desperately .

Perhaps at the very beginning, there were some relatively calm and ruthless Shanyue, but under the influence of the word "enemy attack" and the cries of those colleagues, many senior bandits I also began to be confused about the situation, and was even pushed and shoved by colleagues pouring in from all directions, so I could only follow the flow of people.

The word "bomb camp" often only happens in an instant.

"Shh-"

Ten breaths of time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was useless for Xu Huang to say more, and another round of arrows rained down on the longbowmen troops.

Just as they shot again, the military drums temporarily set up outside the camp began to "bang bang", and a large number of soldiers in armor held up their shields like this, and under the leadership of the captain of the centurion they were in, they moved towards the The not too tall wooden wall stacks rushed past.

"Charge! The whole army charges!"

……

"Soldiers of the third battalion and the fifth battalion, it's time for us to go out, and rush forward with Lao Tzu!"

……

"Protect our ladder!"

……

One after another shouts sounded outside the camp, Xu Huang saw a large number of soldiers began to kill towards the wall pile like a wave under the cover of longbowmen.

And a behemoth of more than three meters, close to four meters, was surrounded by a large number of strong soldiers, and slowly advanced towards the city wall not far away.

That was the only ladder that Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to prepare for before the battle started.

……

"Damn, what's going on?!"

"Are these people officers and soldiers of the dog emperor?"

"How did they touch us!"

"Those who are in charge of sentry are all dead!!"

When several Shanyue bandits finally rushed up the city wall in a hurry, and stood on the low city wall, what they saw was exactly such a scene as if thousands of troops and horses came to kill them together.

"Damn it!"

"Hurry up, let those guys stop howling, and bring them to the city wall for defense!"

"Our mountain depression is a big pocket. If the exit is seized, the surrounding mountain walls will not be able to escape at all, and we will all be blocked inside!"

"Come on, come on, defend here first, they won't be able to use their siege equipment, and they won't be able to attack so quickly!"

Perhaps it was because his own life was at stake, even though Xu Huang had ordered the attack at the first time, even though the archers' arrow rain had a very significant suppressive effect on the mountain vietnamese bandits in the camp, he could be the first soldier When they ran under the low wall with their shields on, quite a few Yamagoshi had already reacted, yelling at each other and climbing to the top of the city wall to defend.

And when several soldiers in a row saw that the city wall was low, they tried to climb the wooden city wall directly and failed and were hacked to death by the opponent. Following among the large number of soldiers, the wobbly siege weapon ladder finally hit the front city wall. .

"boom……"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the wooden structure cracking, since the ladder was made temporarily, not only the structure is relatively simple, but also the wheels used as the way of movement have not been specially tanned, so the moment the main body of the ladder touched the city wall, it could not withstand Resisting the impact, it shattered and flew out towards both sides.

As for the triangular ladder body, it sat down in front of the three-meter-high city wall with a bang.

"Huh, it's okay."

Until this time, Xu Huang, who had been standing not far from the battlefield watching the battle, heaved a sigh of relief and wiped off the sweat from his head.

"Fortunately, the ladder is supported under the city wall... If the hub was broken earlier, it would really bring us a lot of trouble."

"It's just that now, since we've reached the city, the wheels for moving are useless."

"It's good to be bad, and it's good to be bad."

Gudong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Xu Huang thought that the ladder was wobbly, fearing that if it could not support under the city wall, it would be torn apart by everyone.

Fortunately, when the simple wooden structure of the ladder finally became unbearable, it also reached the intended position and leaned against the city wall.

You must know that although the ladders at this time are called ladders, they are different from the extremely unstable film and television props later on. They are all right-angled triangle structures fixed with wood, and there is a ladder for soldiers to climb on the side.

Anyone who has some knowledge of the stability of the triangle knows that when such a wooden frame is supported under the city wall, it is difficult for ordinary manpower to tear it down and destroy it.

This is also the reason why during the siege battle, the soldiers defending the city will not directly overthrow the entire "ladder" as in the film and television drama.

This is simply impossible.

Accompanied by the loud sound of the ladder hitting the city wall, not only the guarding mountain on the city wall trembled, but also the hearts of many soldiers below:

They were still a little worried just now, how would they and others climb up to this camp that was much taller than one person.

Now, with the help of the ladder, a road directly to the other side's city wall is slowly opening to them.

Chapter 59 Go All Out

"Okay, nice job!"

"Brothers, follow me to the top! The first one to kill the city wall, I will personally ask General Xu for his credit!"

Seeing this, a battalion-level officer in the front line immediately looked overjoyed. With a shield on his head, he rushed towards the ladder in the first place.

Behind him, countless soldiers began to bite the handle of the knife in their mouths, buried their heads behind the officer and rushed up to the top of the ladder.

For a time, the pressure on the relatively stable defenders suddenly increased.

"Quick, push them down!"

"Don't just watch, when they rush into the camp, we will all die!"

"You still want to surrender at this time, you are crazy!"

Noisy and chaotic voices echoed in the camp on the Shanyue side. Since Zu Mo, the leader of the Shanyue bandit in the Lujiang area, died, the command system of the entire camp became a mess.

It's just that in the wave of charge just now, no less than four or five types of voices rang out among the crowd in Shanyue.

There are those who want to fight to the death.

There are those who want to fight while retreating and strive for negotiations.

There are also many who have never seen such a big scene, crying and laying down their weapons to surrender.

Perhaps if their leader is still there, no matter how unbearable the power of these thousands of people is, with the help of unified command and defense facilities, at least they will pose a considerable threat to the attack of Xu Huang and others.

It's just that Zu Mo is dead now, and there are many capitulators mingling in the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters. Shanyue, who was still capable of fighting, suddenly feels that he can't even use [-]% of his strength.

……

"Go away, don't block me!"

……

From time to time, one or two shouts and curses exploded on the city wall. It can be said that after seeing a large number of officers and soldiers rushing towards them through the ladder, the mountains in front of them not only did not go up immediately, but began to scramble for the first Backed away, as if those officers and soldiers were evil ghosts and rakshasas.

On the contrary, Shanyue, who came out later and wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage and fight against Xu Huang's soldiers, was blocked by this group of colleagues, and could only watch the situation in front of him and jump anxiously.
