Chapter Rejection Horse Protection Wall
July 10, 189. The hour of Hai.
Although it is not a full moon night, you can still see the situation dozens of meters away by relying on the moonlight.
Two miles north of Babao Valley, more than 3,000 Qiang soldiers quietly appeared. A thick Qiang general held a mace and stared coldly at Longfei Town sleeping in the darkness.
"They still have the heart to sleep. Even if Longfei Town is a trap, the warriors of our Laijie Qiang are not afraid and swear to flatten Longfei Town!" The general said in a deep voice.
"With Hutu personally taking action, how can the Han people in Longfei Town resist it! And in my opinion, this Longfei Town is not aware that the disaster is coming. Maybe we can kill the generals in one go and solve all the battles within a stick of incense. How can the Han people's wooden walls stop us Qiang warriors!" A thin Qiang man next to him smiled, and his identity should be similar to a staff officer.
Hutu nodded without comment, "Let's go, send two hundred people up to move the horses away, and then our warriors will directly rush to kill, so that the Han people in Longfei Town can taste the power of the Qiang Iron Cavalry."
The wooden walls outside Longfei Town were not all built, and both sides of the town gate were made of horse-rejecting walls, which was the breakthrough in the eyes of the Qiang people.
Two hundred Qiang soldiers flew off the horse and ran towards Longfei Town with ropes as cleverly as apes. Although the horses of Jue were bulky, they only needed to be trapped with ropes and dragged with dozens of war horses, and they could still drag the horses away from their original position. As long as the gate of Longfei Town is opened, the Qiang cavalry waiting can rush in without any obstacles!
Just when the Qiang people were almost fifty steps away from the Mama Reward Wall, "Swoosh swish swish swish", a bunch of arrows flew out from the originally deadly Longfei Town, and accurately inserted them into the Qiang soldiers. The Qiang people running in the front saw many people squatting behind the Mama Reward Wall, but that's all. The next moment, most of them had lost their lives, and luckily they were not shot at the critical point, and they rolled and wailed on the ground.
Of course, these arrow rains did not come out of thin air. The first death warriors hid behind the horse-rejecting wall and launched an attack in the gaps of the horse-rejecting wall, announcing that the battle to defend Longfei Town was officially launched!
Hutu's pupils contracted, and he lost nearly two hundred soldiers in just a moment. Long Feizhen's firepower was much beyond Hutu's expectations.
But the Qiang general quickly issued an order.
storm!
The target of the strong attack has changed. One thousand,500 Qiang soldiers activate their war horses and rushed towards the Longfei Town wall with faster speed. As long as they rushed under the city wall, even if they used a sword to cut the ground, they could destroy the wooden city wall with low defense.
In addition to being born cavalry, Qiang warriors were also born archers. The Qiang warriors who rushed up were riding their horses and bent their bows and arrows, shooting towards Longfei Town. The arrows pointed directly at the dark areas behind the horse-receiving wall and the city wall.
The width of the city wall is limited, and at most 300 people can attack at the same time. Most of the Qiang soldiers chose to implement long-range fire support in the rear to cover the tribesmen who destroyed the city wall.
Although the Qiang warriors could not see the enemy clearly, the accuracy of the area covered shooting was still amazing. The Longfei defenders soon suffered casualties. Under the suppression of the Qiang arrows, the sound of arrows entering the flesh and behind the city walls, as well as the muffled groans after being caught. However, the Fengxiang warriors quickly responded to their opponents with a denser rain of arrows. The Qiang people were constantly caught in the arrows, and the ownerless war horses either stood beside the owner who had lost their lives, or were shot in pain and ran wildly.
After paying the price of about 300 people killed, hundreds of Qiang soldiers had approached the wooden city wall and slashed with swords. Some smarter Qiang people jumped off their war horses and fought on foot to reduce the chance of being hit by defending crossbowmen. Despite this, Qiang people continued to lose their lives under precise attacks and corpses under the city wall.
The battle outside Longfei Town has become fierce from the beginning and is extremely tragic!
"The Qiang people's bows and arrows were shot, and our people suffered heavy casualties." Li Jin looked at the scene and frowned.
Chen Gong had a look of ancient well. Because he might face the enemy's attack, a "lazy" city lord had already assigned him the errand to command the battle in front of the town, while A Niu himself commanded the battle outside the secret road of Babao Valley. Chen Gong took a deep breath and ordered:
"The Arrow Tower concentrates on attacking enemies near the city wall!"
"Shanzi Camp stopped shooting, protected two hundred dead soldiers with shields, and waited for an opportunity to assassinate the enemy that destroyed the city wall!"
The Shanzi Camp mentioned by Chen Gong was not a unit led by Lu Han, but a regular unit just formed by the villagers of the original Tianye Town, and continued to use the number of Shanzi Camp. These villagers hated the Qiang people who destroyed their homes. Although they had only been in two days, their combat effectiveness was really not enough. However, under the assault training of Li Jin and Ju Yi, some of the most basic combat skills were still mastered. It was still possible to cover their comrades and snatch assassination from the gaps.
In fact, this 500-person Johor Bahru Camp also has a very powerful lethality - when using a big yellow crossbow!
It is impossible to train these ordinary NPCs into elite troops in two days, but the big yellow crossbow is easy to operate and easy to get started. These recruits shoot and kill the enemy without being directly threatened. It is just because of the Qiang people's bows and arrows that these recruits had to temporarily stop and kill the enemy.
Due to the very short preparation time, Longfei Town had only been able to build six arrow towers and kill the Qiang people attacking the city wall from a high point. Unfortunately, such a killing speed was obviously not enough. Although hundreds of Qiang corpses fell from the wooden city wall, the durability of the city wall had reached a dangerous level and could be broken at any time!
There were only 200 death soldiers in front of the town. This was because Aniu and Chen Gong both believed that the Qiang people were likely to adopt the tactic of attacking on both sides. More than 400 death soldiers were arranged in the Babao Valley to garrison. Such an arrangement also made the firepower in front of the town insufficient, especially after the soldiers in Shanzi Camp had to stop shooting, the two hundred death soldiers could not effectively suppress the attack with the Qiang people. Although the Qiang people kept shooting at Qiang people a hundred steps away, the Qiang people continued to rush to the city wall and took over the unfinished work of the dead tribe.
Only then did Chen Gong truly realize the combat effectiveness of the Qiang warriors and their fearless fighting style, which was much stronger than the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing the tight battle situation in front of the town, the defense line was at risk of collapse at any time.
And at this time, there was also a loud shout of killing at the bottom of the Babao Valley!
Before the battle in front of the town started, Qiang soldiers came out at the exit of the secret road at the bottom of the Babao Valley, and finally reached 3,000 people. Lao Jie Qiang seemed to have not underestimated Longfei Town. He actually sent a unit of 6,000 people to deal with a first-level town!
Unlike the three thousand Qiang cavalry outside the town, all the Qiang people who came out of the secret path were infantry. After hearing the movement outside the town, these Qiang people began to run out of the valley and prepared to implement two breadboards with the tribes led by Hutu!
From the shouts of killing outside the valley, I learned that the enemy and us were fighting bloody battles and failed to receive unexpected assault effects, but the Qiang people did not think that the operation would fail. In the Qiang people's calculations, the Han people who did not know the secret path of the Babao Valley would see a large number of enemies behind them, and their helpless expressions would definitely be very exciting.
The reason why Hutu would rather let his tribe members take the arrow rain attack from Longfei Town than launch a strong attack that would sacrifice his life is to cover the surprise weapon in the valley to achieve the effect of killing one blow!
Now, it's time for the surprise to show its power!
The Qiang people in the valley began to run into Longfei Town. In their expectation, as long as this army was put into battle, the defeat of the Han people in Longfei Town would inevitably occur. At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The Qiang people who had formed a formation at the bottom of the valley had only been running less than a hundred meters. The Qiang people in the front row stepped on the air, and a shocking scream came from a blink of an eye.
"trap!"
Five jagged traps were almost filled with Qiang people. The bottom of the pit two meters deep was sharpened bamboo sticks and pointed wood. The Qiang people who fell into the first place were only dead!
More than 200 figures in front of the Qiang people suddenly stood up, in black outfits, as if from the hell demon god, staring at the Qiang people coldly. At the same time, the Qiang people heard a dense sound of arrows breaking through the air, and more than 400 figures appeared on the mountain walls on both sides, and the big yellow crossbow in their hands happily spitting arrows!
The Qiang people at the bottom of the valley were immediately caught off guard under such an attack.
"Damn it, there are ambushes! Everyone is concentrated in the center. Their arrows are not that long and there are not many people on the other side. Hurry up and rush over, otherwise they will be a living target!"
The leading Qiang general quickly realized that under such circumstances, it was impossible to attack the platform standing on a high place. He could only use the space at the bottom of the valley to avoid the attack of the first climbing dead soldiers!
The terrain of Babao Valley is a bit like a gourd. The narrowest part is outside the valley. Most places are five miles wide, even at the bottom of the valley, there is a width of about one mile between the mountain walls on both sides. Only by using this width can you avoid the fate of being shot.
Carefully avoiding the traps on the ground, the Qiang people immediately concentrated in the middle of the valley, running wildly, hoping to escape from the sky. However, as soon as they rushed out dozens of steps, the Qiang people couldn't help but curse the Han people insidiously. At the center of the valley, there was a trap every ten steps. Although the width and depth of each trap were very limited due to insufficient preparation time, it had a good effect on delaying the actions of the Qiang people.
Not only that, the Qiang people have discovered that there is actually a line of defense against horses on the way to Longfei Town! The more than 200 people who appeared in front of them have retreated behind the line of defense against horses!
At the same time, half of the first-row dead soldiers on the mountain walls on both sides also jumped off the platform, and stood firm under the cover of the comrades on the platform. Using the range advantage of the two-stone yellow crossbow, they gradually approached the Qiang people in the middle of the valley. When the first-row dead soldiers occupied a favorable position, the remaining first-row dead soldiers on the mountain wall also began to jump off quickly, and alternately pushed the front line forward!
Such a situation fell into the eyes of the Qiang people, and they naturally understood that when the first-row deceased soldiers on both sides were completed, it was the time when they were already ravaged. The leading generals quickly divided up some of the Qiang soldiers and launched a fire with the first-row deceased soldiers. Although the range was not enough to cause too much damage to the enemy, it could delay the speed of the first-row deceased soldiers and win time for the breakthrough of the large army!
The other Qiang people rushed towards the wall of Max, and only by breaking the siege could there be a glimmer of life. This decision was undoubtedly correct, and Qiang people were soon surprised to find that there were not many traps in the central location. After the Qiang people stepped on eight small traps in succession, there were no more traps that could stop them from moving forward!
In front of the Qiang people, there was only a horse-resisting wall without lethality, and more than 200 people behind the wall did not launch a long-range attack. Although the Qiang people had lost about 400 soldiers under the attack of the First Dead Warrior, and were responsible for restraining them. The Qiang people who shot against the First Dead Warriors have retreated step by step, after all, if the Qiang warriors with more than 2,000 people still cannot break through the defense line, it would be a bit incredible.
A certain city lord stood behind the horse-rejecting wall at this time and frowned. Although the Qiang people had suffered a lot, the Qiang people's reaction was very correct. Not only did they bravely break through the trap zone, but the killing of the first-climbed dead soldiers was far from reaching A Niu's expectations. Next, there will be a real hand-to-hand combat!
Although the more than 200 people standing beside A Niu are all elite martial artists of Danhua, the narrow and long defense line cannot be taken care of by two hundred people. In the area of the horse-rejecting wall, on average, each Danhua martial artist needs to take care of a five- or six-meter defense line, and the difficulty can be imagined.
A Niu had already seen the bravery and good fighting of the Qiang people, his face darkened and ordered:
"Let Ju Yi's men advance at full speed regardless of the cost and eliminate the enemies behind them as fast as possible! Let the Qiang people know that it is not only them who are brave enough to fight, and the first-row death warriors are definitely not comparable to them!"
The martial artist quickly conveyed A Niu's latest order. Without saying a word, Ju Yi pointed at the Qiang man in his hand and shouted:
"Are there any cowards in the Death Squad?"
"kill!"
Just as the shouts of the deadly soldiers shouted and killed, Ju Yi was already rushing towards the Qiang people who were broken, regardless of the arrows of hundreds of Qiang people, and he was not willing to waste even the time to dodge to the side. He just occasionally used a long spear to push the arrows shot away.
The tyrants who were fighting so hard that the first thugs who climbed the deceased soldiers could not hold back and rushed up quickly. Although there were people who kept hitting arrows, the first thugs who were famous for fighting wars, as long as they had a breath, they still struggled forward! Some first thugs who even gritted their teeth and ran wildly after several arrows!
The Qiang people in charge of the rear cut could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. What kind of troops are they? What kind of enemies are they?
Although the number of Qiang people who were cut off the rear was less than 500, which was the same as the number of the first-climb dead soldiers at the bottom of the valley, the desperate charge of the first-climb dead soldiers was equivalent to being completely exposed to the attack of the Qiang people. No one of the first-climb stopped and implemented firepower suppression. Such a charge was obviously a great loss.
But A Niu has no choice!
Just as Ju Yi's troops rushed out fifty steps, the large army of 2,000 Qiang people had approached the defense line of the horse-resisting wall, and even the ferocious faces of the Qiang people in the front row were clearly visible.
"He Qian, we must never let the Qiang people break through the wall of repelling the horse. No matter what method you use, we must insist on waiting until the Lord Yi arrives!"
He Qian nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, lord, unless all the Anhua died in battle, the Qiang people would never be allowed to break through the defense line!"
In several battles that Fengxiang had experienced before, the Dark Flower Martial Arts almost always used as special forces, fully leveraging the advantages of the martial arts' quick action and strong personal combat power, and rarely fighting such a tough battle of frontal defense. A city lord understood that such a defensive battle undoubtedly made the Dark Flower Martial Arts lose its maneuver advantage, but at the beginning of Longfei Town, it encountered this tough battle. The disadvantage in military strength forced A Niu to use the Dark Flower Martial Arts as a regular force.
The dark flower, the trapped camp, and the first death soldiers are all Fengxiang's special troops. Unless it is absolutely necessary, A Niu will never use these troops like this. After all, the supplementary and training of these three troops have extremely high requirements, and one will be less if one dies. But under this attack by the Qiang people, A Niu has no other choice!
If this battle is won, Fengxiang will preserve the special territory that has been built with great effort and completely gain a foothold in Liangzhou. The trade cooperation with Shaodang Qiang will bring great benefits to Fengxiang! As long as a few important generals are not killed, even if the troops are completely destroyed, Aniu will do whatever he wants!
The next moment, two hundred dark flower martial artists in black uniforms were strangled with two thousand Qiang troops.
At the other end of the battlefield, the wooden city wall was finally broken under the attack of the Qiang people, and Hutu immediately led all the troops to prepare for the general attack!
Almost at the same time, both battlefields entered the final decisive battle! (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
