Chapter 54 The Bloody Battle in Yuzhong (4)
As the sky was dawn, smoke from cooking fires was lit early in the camp of the two tribes. Unlike before, the ones who held the sea bowl and swallowed desperately were not the strong soldiers, but the slaves who transported their baggage.
Behind the camp, sacks filled with soil were piled up randomly, and slaves were constantly digging and filling the soil not far away. Noah looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. Although Batan's method was a little stupid, it was effective. It is conceivable that as long as you use sacks to fill the city wall, even a horse could rush up.
After the three-way drum, the slaves who had a full meal were gathered together, and the simple cowhide shields were sent to the slaves one by one. Their task was very simple. They carried sacks filled with soil and rushed to the city quickly, threw them down, and then ran back to the barracks with all their strength.
"Woo~" The dull Niuke opened the prelude to the attack and killing of the new day. The slaves carried the sacks around them, rushed out of the military formation quickly, and rushed to the city with all their might. The arrows on the Yuzhong City were raining. Dian Jun smiled on the city wall: "The barbarians are barbarians, and they actually came up with such a stupid way." Ying Guang waved his hand and said, "Big man, you have read it wrong. They are not stupid at all. Although this method takes time, it is most effective to deal with a strong city like ours, where the walls are not high enough. Big man, be prepared for a hard fight."
"Roll!" The slaves held their cowhide shields to protect their heads, bowed and ran forward desperately. The feather arrows on the top of the city caused great damage to the poorly equipped slave army. The sound of the city defense crossbow breaking through the air was like the summoning of the god of death. The corpses of countless slaves stood up and nailed to the ground, forming a small forest. The surviving slaves shuttled through the woods, avoiding the invasion of feather arrows as much as possible. With the efforts of batches of slaves, a thick sack was quickly accumulated under the city wall, and there were many corpses of slaves in the middle.
Seeing a slope slanted under the wall, Noah smiled with satisfaction. Although the defenders of Yuzhong caused great harm to the slaves, these were completely within the capacity of the Qiang people. Slaves were just cannon fodder, and they were not as valuable as cattle and sheep. They could be said to be as much as they need. If this continues, it will take less than two days to fill the sacks to the city. That is the best time to take Yuzhong.
Ying Guang frowned. If this continues, the city will be broken. We must go out and fight back. At present, the Dian Army will not leave easily. Zhang Chao and Wei Dong protect the two wings. At this time, only Xu Sixie and Feng Zhuang can be used. After thinking for a while, Ying Guang called Feng Zhuang in front of him.
"Lao Feng, you should also see that if you stick to it, there will be only a dead end. I need you to lead a team of people who are dying out to carry out counterattacks. Do you dare to take it?"
Feng Zhuang smiled generously and said, "Young Master, please rest assured. Lao Feng, I am not afraid of death and I am afraid of leisure. The commander will make the arrangements!"
"Okay!" Ying Guang laughed, "I will not let you die. Our army lacks cavalry, and the only ones that can be sent out are infantry. Charge out and try to kill enemy slaves, but you are not allowed to chase after five hundred steps, because the city gate is open, the other party will definitely send cavalry to the city gate. You must run back as soon as possible and not be entangled by the other party's cavalry. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, commander! Lao Feng remembers it!" Feng Zhuang hugged his fists and said solemnly.
"Transfer the order to order Zhang Chao and Weidong to organize all the crossbowmen to cover the retreat of Fengzhuang!"
A group of five hundred people quietly came to the city gate. Not far outside the city, ant-like slaves were carrying sacks, panting and running towards the slope high in front of the city wall. They swung the sacks and turned around and ran. Some were unlucky. They were hit by bows and arrows just after they ran up the slope and rolled down. Some were killed on the spot, becoming part of the slope filling, some missed the key, and lay on the ground wailing for help. But at this time no one would care about the wounded, because at this time their lives were no longer their own.
"Squeaking" a gap suddenly opened in the city gate. Feng Zhuang rushed out with a chain hammer and howled and rushed towards the slave in front of him.
The sudden counterattack surprised the slaves who were moving forward. After a brief loss of consciousness, the slave army was in chaos, and they threw down the sacks and turned around and fled. Not to mention that the slave army had no weapons, even if they were well-equipped, they would run so far with the sacks and lose the strength to fight.
The purpose of Fengzhuang was very clear, that is, to kill all the enemy slaves as much as possible. The formation did not go deeper, and turned around and inserted into the bottom of the slope, blocking the retreat of hundreds of slaves. With a shout, five hundred Qin soldiers and hundreds of slaves were killed in one place. The slaves were in a panic, some rushed towards the Qin soldiers in front of them, and some ran back to the city in a panic, but no matter what, no one could escape from the Qin army's siege.
Feng Zhuang waved his chain hammer and plunged into the slave group. This heavy weapon played a huge role at this time. The hammer head of dozens of kilograms caused a lot of damage to the slaves by swinging inertia. He rushed all the way, leaving behind a blood alley and limbs all over the ground.
Turning back, I saw that the dust was rising behind me, and the target was me. I immediately shouted in a loud voice: "Everyone run back!"
Most of the Qin soldiers who followed Fengzhuang were following the old men. When they heard the order, they ignored the formation and ran away one by one. Fengzhuang was at the end, covering everyone into the city. Zhang Chao and Weidong were ready, and shot wildly at the Yuezhi cavalry that chased out. Yuezhi cavalry were all skilled in bows and horses, hiding in one stirrup, and using the speed of the horse to avoid many arrows. Only a few were shot down. Zhang Chao and Weidong's sniper did not achieve the results they deserved.
However, Fengzhuang retreated just as soon as possible. Before the Yuezhi cavalry caught up, most of the Qin soldiers had fled back to the city. This was the first time that Fengzhuang fought on behalf of the Qin army. Not only did the mission be completed successfully, the soldiers were not damaged, and the effect was surprisingly good. He was secretly proud in his heart, and suddenly he heard Ying Guang shouting at the top of the city: "Be careful!"
Feng Zhuang felt a stinging pain behind his neck, and his hair stood up suddenly. Before he could turn around, Feng Zhuang leaped forward, and a spear rubbed his scalp and nailed it to the city gate. A lazy donkey rolled over, rolling out more than a foot, and then a carp stood up, but saw a big Yuezhi man who was rushing in front pulled out his waist and came towards him.
Fengzhuang blocked the city gate. At this time, he could retreat smoothly by just taking a few steps back. But this was his first battle in the camp. How could it end so simply? Fengzhuang carried the chain hammer and instead advanced, roaring towards the Yuezhi man in front of him. However, if he could not be killed in one round, Fengzhuang would be surrounded by subsequent cavalry and completely lost hope of returning to the city.
