The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 73

[Chapter 73 Siege]

The bow and crossbow phalanx slowly stopped, and spent half a minute checking the bow and crossbow in his hand to see if there were any faults or problems.

“Raise the crossbow!”

“Raise the bow!”

With a loud shout from the commanders of the square formations, the first 1,000 people in the square formations raised their bows and crossbows.

“put!”

“put!”

shhhhhh!

Two thousand arrows flew out and kept falling from the sky.

Above the city, those recruits didn’t know how to avoid arrows.

He just stared blankly at the arrows hitting him.

Puchi, the sound of arrows passing through kept ringing, followed by the sound of mourning everywhere.

Awakened by the screams, the soldiers remembered to hide, but before they could move, three seconds after the arrows fell, another 2,000 arrows shot towards them.

There was another sound of thumping into the flesh, and four or five hundred of him fell sparsely. At this moment, two consecutive times, the soldiers who were stunned by the bow and crossbow array have completely lost consciousness.

Only a few more alert people quickly hid.

Thus escaped the catastrophe, and looked at the soldiers who were still standing stupidly with joy.

Whoosh whoosh!

Three more arrows passed by.

Those soldiers already knew that they were hiding at this time, but they were still killed and wounded by those waves of arrows.

Next, this period of time is the time for the performance of those bow and crossbow formations. A square formation is divided into five stages of shooting, three rounds of shooting in a row, a full fifteen waves, the rain of arrows poured onto the city wall, and 30,000 arrows It is densely packed in the city wall or the houses behind the city wall.

From time to time, soldiers were brutally pinned to the city wall by a dozen arrows, screaming in agony, wanting to get up and rolling, but they found that their whole body was locked to death, unable to move, and could only be stunned. He stared blankly at his blood, and lost his precious life in endless pain.

After fifteen rounds of arrow rain, there were more than 3,000 people lying down on the city wall, and some of the remaining people were shivering. They could only hide behind the city wall and use the parapet to resist the attack of the arrow rain.

Seeing that the archers on the city wall had been suppressed by the arrow formation on his side, Zhong Yu continued to order the cannon fodder to move forward, although he said that he kept letting go of the arrows, it was very likely that he would win the war.

However, this is not what I want.

These cannon fodders are all recruits who have never experienced war and are still very young.

It is necessary to use this siege battle and use countless human lives to pile up an elite army.

Now only the 25,000 cannon fodder left on the account is just an appetizer.

The eight thousand strong men who came from Wudu County before will also be pressed up as a reserve team.

Bang bang bang!

With a sound of war drums, the first batch of cannon fodder was pressed up again.

This time, those supervising teams will not be so talkative.

They have already received an order from above, and if these 5,000 people don’t die to his 3,000, they are absolutely not allowed to go on.

That is to say?

Counting the hundreds of people who died before, more than 1,000 people will die here, and they will not be able to retreat until there are about 3,000 people left.

“Come on!”

With a roar of anger, all the strong cannon fodders shouted and screamed, in order to inspire their own little courage.

Seeing everyone around him rushing up with him, constantly watching from left to right, and finding that there are so many people around, and one can’t see the end, the confidence in my heart is suddenly enough.

Holding the weapon tightly in their hands, they clearly knew that this would be the most important partner who would save their lives in the future.

Ten paces, fifty paces, one hundred paces, and soon, in a rain of swords and arrows, like thunder and rolling stones.

The group of cannon fodder gradually approached the foot of the city wall, and a group of people put together a ladder of more than 20 meters in their hands on the city wall.

More than a dozen people were left to hold them firmly on their feet to prevent the cloud ladder from being pushed down by the people above the city wall, and the rest of the people hurriedly climbed up along the cloud ladder.

Zizizi!

A pot of scalding hot oil and golden juice was lifted up.

Countless wooden barrels had been prepared in the city for a long time, and each and every one of the wooden barrels was put into the pot, and the scalding liquid from the inside was poured down to the bottom of the city wall.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Countless hot liquid poured on the soldiers climbing up under the city.

“what!”

Countless screams rang out under the city, one after another, but it was of no use. The soldiers under the countless cloud ladders grabbed and threw the injured and disorderly people from the cloud ladder.

In this way, you came and I attacked.

The crowd is like ants, you push me, and I push you to climb up the city wall with hundreds of ladders.

People continued to climb up the city wall, and before they started to feel happy, several guards stabbed the city with their spears.

Puff puff!

All the cannon fodder, like dumplings, kept being picked up and dropped again and again.

From a distance, like raindrops, it fell from above the city wall into the moat or at the foot of the city wall.

The corpse was covered with a thick layer, and soon, within half an hour, the number of 5,000 people saw 3,000 of him, and more than 1,000 corpses fell under the city wall forever.

“Dangdangdang!” With the sound of the bronze drum, the sound of Jinling reached the battlefield and the cannon fodder who was struggling.

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of all the cannon fodders.

There is a system of control in the army, advancing at the sound of drums, retreating at the sound of gold.

It’s not that no one thought about escaping before, but the 1,000-strong supervising team behind them surrounded the entire battlefield from a distance, leaving no room for escape.

As long as someone dares to take a step back, a shower of arrows will come immediately, and the person who intends to escape is set up as a hornet’s nest, without the slightest hand or accident.

As for everyone turning back and defecting together, don’t be kidding, there are more than 1,000 teams and 4,000 supervisor teams behind them, and behind him there are more than 20,000 troops who are neatly lined up looking at him, where can he escape to? place?

It is better to move forward and use your own destiny and luck to bet that you can survive on this battlefield, and you can also get promoted and rich.

Hearing the sound of gold ringing now, all the people under the city wall quickly retreated and took away all the ladders, as for the hundreds of people on the city wall.

Now that he is fighting with the enemy and is entangled, it will take at least a moment to get out.

And at this moment, the army below the city is still lining up on the city wall, at least hundreds of them will be killed.

Could it be that these strangers in the city are all virgins?

Great enough to give up his own life in exchange for those hundreds of people who have survived him and dozens of people, then the whole world will be peaceful.

Before going to the battlefield, these troops were told by their superiors that when retreating, you can retreat if you want, but you must take back all these ladders that are still intact, otherwise, which ladder can still be used. Now, the army in charge of taking care of the ladder will be killed.

In addition, the weapons on your body cannot be discarded at will. If you lose them, then the next time you go to the battlefield, you can only go to the ground empty-handed.

When there are no weapons and armors to be killed by others, don’t blame Shangguan for being ruthless!

Otherwise, these soldiers who wished their parents had two less legs and could quickly withdraw from the battlefield would not want to go along the ladder, so they just left everything and rushed back to the rear.
