Chapter 134: War of Attrition(1/2)

The sound of the horn is low and desolate, and the sound of the war drums is radical and excited.

The 200,000 coalition forces in Longhuang slowly approached, and the two camps that were the first to be blasted were surrounded.

After besieging the two camps of Qingshan Army, the Longhuang coalition divided the main force and took various large-scale siege equipment to go straight to Qingshan border city.

Looking at the well railing cars that were much taller than the city and the huge rows of catapults, the soldiers of Qingshan border were all nervous.

There are two or three hundred archers on the roof of the well railing, and in front of these archers there are large cowhide oars to block the attack. In a moment, they can pour arrow rains into the city without restraint.

The stone bombs projected by the catapult carts are extremely lethal to the city walls and can best undermine morale.

From the watchtower, Wang Bin watched the Longhuang coalition push the well railing car and the catapult car pass by calmly.

Outside the camp, there was a three-fold shield wall. The Longhuang Alliance also knew that their camp had cavalry, so he planned to use swords, shields and spearmen to limit the cavalry and prevent the Qingshan army from coming out to make trouble so that they could concentrate their efforts to attack the border city!

There is Nangong Lie defense in the border town, so Wang Bin is not worried about anything, but the catapults and the well railings will bring relatively large casualties to the defenders in the border town.

Therefore, Wang Bin was ready to take the initiative to destroy the well railings and catapults.

Usually, when the siege battle begins, the catapult car will be put into use first, followed by the archers suppressing the city head and the well railing car advancing, and continue to suppress the defenders on the city wall through the advantage of shooting downwards.

To destroy the well railing and catapults, there must be a sequence.

The catapult cart will cause great damage to the city walls, so it should be destroyed first. The catapult cart is arranged behind the military formation. As long as the cavalry can rush out, it is not difficult to destroy the catapult cart, and a fire can burn it clean.

"Junior Brother Mad Sword!"

"What are the instructions for senior brother?"

Hearing Wang Bin calling himself, Mad Dao quickly left the line.

"There is a junior brother who has opened a gap in the shield formation outside to help my cavalry rush out."

Wang Bin said.

"I thought it was, senior brother, wait and see. How can I stop me from the three-level shield formation?"

When Mad Knife heard that Wang Bin asked him to take the lead in breaking into the enemy formation, he was very excited. He had fought with Wang Bin several times and was very experienced.

He knew that as long as he followed the orders, he could wait for victory to come.

Mad Dao agreed to break through the shield formation, and Wang Bin ordered Zhang Xiong again: "Zhang Xiong, you will lead two thousand cavalry, and when Mad Dao breaks the enemy's shield formation out of the gap, break out of the siege in the shortest time, destroy the enemy's catapult cart first, and have the chance to destroy the well railing cart."

"Please rest assured, General. The last general will fulfill his mission!" Zhang Xiong said.

"Well, you guys go down and prepare." Wang Bin waved his hand and signaled them to go down and prepare, waiting for the order to attack.

The camp was still a little far from the border city, and the siege equipment was moving slowly, so Wang Bin was not in a hurry to order an attack.

He had to estimate the time when the Longhuang coalition launched an attack before ordering Kuangdao and Zhang Xiong.

After a while, Zhang Xiong, who had already selected two thousand elite cavalry, hid behind the camp gate and was secretly anxious.

"Brother Kuang Dagger, General asked you to attack the enemy shield formation alone?"

Seeing that the Mad Dagger was still alone, Zhang Xiong couldn't help but say in surprise.

"It's enough to have my Kuang Dao attack alone. I'll ask Captain Zhang to see the opportunity and quickly fight out!" Kuang Dao said confidently.

He didn't think the shield array outside could trap him, and even if there was a spearman behind the shield array, he was not afraid.

"Captain, the general has an order, we can attack!" The sergeant responsible for observing the flag-language orders reported to Zhang Xionghui.

"Brother Kuang Dao, I'm here to see you!" Zhang Xiong looked at Kuang Dao and said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'll open the gap for you first!" Kuangdao smiled.

The camp gate did not open, and the Crazy Knife leveraged the force on the ground and jumped out of the camp with all his might. The shield formation here was quiet, and the sword and shield hands and spearmen of the Longhuang Alliance looked at the Crazy Knife as if they were looking at a dead person.

What do you want to do when you come out alone?

Is it funny?

The Mad Knife is never a joke. He pulled out the battle knife and rushed towards the nearest shield wall without hesitation.

A sword swept across, and the light of the knife flashed, and a roar was shaking twice, then it returned to its original state.

Seeing the opportunity, did the Mad Knife slash several consecutive sword lights at the same position, and immediately beat the sword and shield hands in that area to vomit blood and fly backwards.

The first layer of shield formation was broken, and the spearman inside was under Kuangdao, with no deterrence at all. He bullied himself with the knife and quickly reached the second layer of shield wall.

In the first layer of shield formation, because it was broken through by the Mad Sword, I thought of killing Mad Sword first. The sword shield and the spearman had already turned their direction and were ready to attack the second line of defense, and to get the Mad Sword.

But they didn't expect that at this time, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and two thousand elite cavalry rushed out from inside. The cavalry charged with fighting swords and slashed horizontally and vertically. It was too late for the sword and shield hands of the Longhuang Alliance to fight back.

The front was in chaos, and the first line of defense was broken. The Longhuang coalition wanted to stabilize its position, but unfortunately the second line of defense was broken by a crazy knife again.

The opportunity was not missed. Zhang Xiong immediately took the lead and charged forward with two thousand cavalry. Soon the second shield formation was broken, and the two thousand cavalry did not diminish. Together with the mad sword, he broke through the third line of defense and left.

Standing on his sword, watching the cavalry roar away, he felt a little envious.

...

...

Outside the border city, the Longhuang coalition forces had assembled, and the catapults kept creaking. In a round of test shots just now, the stone bomb was only two feet away from the city wall.

In the next round of attack, the catapult will surely bombard the stone bomb on the city wall.

Nangong Lie looked at the slowly advancing enemy carriage and secretly decided to destroy it.

The second round of test shot of the catapult car accurately hit the city wall, and the thick wall of the border city was once again baptized by stone bombs.

"Everyone should be careful and wait until the enemy is completed, kill me hard!" Nangong Lie said with great encouragement.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the border soldiers whispered. They were all elite soldiers who had lived for the rest of their lives and would not lose confidence in victory because of the large number of enemies.

Woo woo woo woo ~

Outside the city, the central army of the Longhuang Alliance, heard the sound of desolate and ancient horns, and the siege began.

However, at this time, an elite cavalry of two thousand people rushed into the rear formation of the Longhuang coalition, and turned the catapult chariot formation upside down.

The entire catapult chariot array only tested two rounds, and was dismantled into piles of wood chips by the elite cavalry led by Zhang Xiong.

"Okay! Well done!"

Nangong Lie saw Zhang Xiong destroying the enemy's catapult chariot formation on the top of the city, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Yuelange car, who will destroy those Yilange car to me?" Nangong Lie asked the general beside him.

"General, I am willing to go!" A general left the line and took over Nangong Lie's mission.

The city gate opened and more than a thousand cavalry rushed out, but before they crossed the moat, they were shot back by raindrop arrows.

More than a thousand light cavalry went out and did nothing, and lost about a hundred people. Nangong Lie had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was in.

On the Longhuang Alliance, the catapult chariot formation was destroyed and could not stop them from siegeing the city. The Jinglan car was still slowly advancing under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers.

Naturally, he would not ignore the attack. On the flank of the Longhuang coalition, a cavalry of 5,000 people were dispatched to attack Zhang Xiong's troops.

After Wang Bin's order in Zhang Xiong's prison, he destroyed the catapult cart and prepared to take out the burning of the well railing cart. However, halfway through the way, he encountered the enemy's cavalry. The number of people on both sides was half different. However, Zhang Xiong's troops still moved forward and looked at the opponent's cavalry as if nothing!

Two thousand elite cavalry and five thousand cavalry collided with each other, and the number was at a disadvantage. Even Nangong Lie on the city wall was not optimistic about Zhang Xiong and felt that he was too arrogant.

But Zhang Xiong did not embarrass Wang Bin. He led 1,500 soldiers out and headed straight for fifteen well railings near the moat.

One thousand five hundred elite cavalry rushed among the shield soldiers of the Longhuang coalition and rushed to the carriage. The archers were silent at this time and they could not shoot arrows because the cavalry were surrounded by their own people.

The cavalry moved extremely fast, and the arrows they shot out would mostly fall on their comrades.

"Brothers, light the torch!"

Zhang Xiong shouted loudly, held the torch and advanced at a very fast speed. When he passed by a well railing, he burned without saying a word!

The soldiers behind also followed suit and lit the well railing with torches.

One person may not be able to lit it, but it is not too easy to ignite fifteen well rail cars.

Looking at the burning well railings outside the city and Zhang Xiong's troops who were trapped in a heavy siege, Nangong Lie was both surprised and happy.

Zhang Xiong, a lieutenant, was a good candidate. He could destroy the catapult car first and then burn the well railing car. However, now they are trapped by the moat. If there is no support, none of the 1,500 elite cavalrymen will be able to leave.

"Open the city gate, fight out, fight against the enemy, and save our cavalry robes!" Nangong Lie ordered.

The city gate opened again, and half of the elite defenders in the city sent out to cover up and kill. The Longhuang coalition was in chaos because it wanted to strangle the cavalry, and when Nangong Lie came out, they would inevitably be in a hurry.

Seeing reinforcements in the city responding, Zhang Xiong led his soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, and he knew nothing about it.

Outside the border town, a big melee began, and the soldiers invested by both sides increased again and again, and the battlefield had become like meat grinders.

One hundred thousand to two hundred thousand is the weak side, but the Qingshan border army is holding the city and guarding it, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

But now the melee has begun, and the casualties on both sides are very serious!

...

...

In the camp, Wang Bin was waiting for news about the scout.

Zhang Xiong went out and brought only two thousand people, even if they were elite, they had to destroy two targets on a battlefield that was ten times more than ten times more. The task was very arduous.

"Report to General, there is a big battle outside the border city. General Nangong opened the city gate and fought with the enemy in order to save Zhang Xiaowei's troops..."
