Chapter 322 Arrow Rain Like Tide

Seeing the mighty Liangzhou soldiers, many Baibo thieves had never seen such a fierce attack. Before the enemy attacked, a few Baibo thieves turned around and ran away in fright, but they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo's eyes flashed, and she chased after him in three steps and two steps in parallel, and raised the long knife.

Click!

With the knife in hand, Mrs. Guo didn't care about the blood, and grabbed the severed head casually, turning around and shouting loudly.

"Those who dare to flee without fighting, this is the end!" Guo Tai yelled, the blood on the blade was hot, and the Baibo bandits on the top of the city were immediately shocked, and Guo Tai sent his own soldiers to serve as the supervisory team , This stabilized the front.

"Get ready—shoot the arrow!"

But at this time, following Zhang Jaw's order, there were a total of ten thousand crossbowmen on the two wings. In fact, there were not so many archers in the Liangzhou army, but the cavalry took out the riding bows on their backs, although the range was short A little bit, but it can be regarded as an archer.

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of the bowstring booming one after another, crashing and crashing! Tens of thousands of arrows rushed out with a lot of strength, and they shuttled through the air in an instant, covering the sky, as if a large open net descended from the sky, covering the entire wall of Baibo Valley.

The arrows shot by the powerful three-stone crossbow are extremely powerful. When an arrow hits the Baibo thief's shoulder, it directly hits the shot Baibo thief on the city wall, making him unable to move.

The arrow puffed on the earth wall, and immediately dived into it, and the earth wall was filled with smoke and dust.

With this round of crossbow arrow salvo alone, the Baibo bandits suffered thousands of casualties, and for a while there were wailing sounds everywhere on the city wall.

The experienced Mrs. Guo immediately hid under the wall when she saw Liangzhou soldiers shooting a volley of bows, and escaped.

Seeing so many casualties in the army, Mrs. Guo immediately raised a big shield: "Everyone hides under the wall, hold up the shield, and don't show your head."

Hearing Mrs. Guo's command, the Baibo thieves hid under the wall to avoid the enemy's arrows falling like a tide, and the casualties were greatly reduced.

"Infantry, ascend the city!" Zhang Jaw seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the infantry to attack the city. At the same time, the crossbowmen did not relax, but continued to suppress the white wave bandits at the top of the city with arrow rain.

The equipment of the Liangzhou soldiers was almost taken from the military equipment of the Yongzhou and Liangzhou government, which was naturally far superior to the equipment of the Baibo bandits. When thousands of infantry heard the general's jaws open, several of them immediately carried the ladder together, and under the pressure of the archers' fire, they bravely moved forward.

Due to the superior firepower of the crossbowmen, the infantry of the Liangzhou soldiers rushed under the city wall smoothly, and immediately set up rows of ladders, and then bit the steel knife in their mouths, and climbed up with hands and feet.

"The enemy army is attacking the city, quickly throw rolling logs and stones!"

"Push away the ladder!"

Seeing Liangzhou soldiers and infantry attacking the city, Mrs. Guo was startled and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to defend the city.

The white wave thief had no choice but to raise his shield, gritted his teeth and poked his head out from under the wall, carrying logs and rocks amidst the rain of arrows.

At the same time, Guo Tai also ordered the few crossbowmen among the Baibo thieves to fight back against the attacking infantry and enemy archers. However, although there are 40,000 to 50,000 white wave thieves, there are only more than 2,000 archers. This ratio is pitifully rare.

In the battle of the Han army, the infantry is generally the main force in the army, accounting for 70 to 80% of the total number of soldiers. The infantry can be divided into swords and shields, spears and swords. When the enemy attacked, the spearmen took advantage of the situation to counterattack. When the enemy retreated, the axemen jumped out of the front line and chased them out.

Among the remaining 20% ​​soldiers and horses, except for a few scout cavalry used for communication and investigation, the rest are basically archers. For example, among the 30,000 troops led by Liu Ye today, there are nearly 5,000 archers. people.

The frontier army is different from the inland Han army. Most of the frontier troops are located in horse-producing areas. There is no shortage of war horses in the army. In addition, they often fight against aliens on the grassland. If they don’t run fast, they can’t catch up with them. The proportion of cavalry is generally more than half.

However, there are 40,000 to 50,000 Baibo thieves, but there are only more than 2,000 crossbowmen. It is indeed a bit pitiful, but these are the only crossbowmen in the Baibo army.

After a long battle, the infantry soldiers of Liangzhou saw the arrows pouring down from the top of the city, and immediately raised the leather shield on their arms to cover them. Occasionally, when an arrow was shot by the enemy, the soldiers of Liangzhou directly bit the shaft of the arrow with their teeth , with a blood arrow pulled out.

The city wall of Baibo Valley is low, and the number of enemy archers is scarce, so the brave Liangzhou soldiers quickly climbed to the top of the city along the ladder.

"kill!"

The Liangzhou army on the top of the city was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. They rushed into the enemy army with weapons in their hands. The beheading knife was opened and closed, and the space around them was cleared to make room for the soldiers behind them.

"Drove this group of Liangzhou soldiers to the general!" Guo Tai saw the Liangzhou soldiers killing the city, immediately gave a tiger roar, led the soldiers to kill them, and fought with the Liangzhou soldiers.

As the infantry of the Liangzhou Army climbed to the top of the city, the crossbowmen of the two wings of the Liangzhou Army did not dare to continue to tilt their arrows, so as not to accidentally hurt their own people. As the Liangzhou army's arrow rain stopped, the Baibo bandits regained their morale. Immediately, under the leadership of Mrs. Guo, they charged up with vigor, and the battle between the two armies reached a fever pitch.

Zhang Jai stared at the fierce battle between the enemy and our armies on the top of the city, couldn't help frowning, and said to the scouts beside him: "Go, ask the general if he can dispatch a siege engine? A certain one only needs 10,000 troops and horses to break through the Baibo valley."

The scouts led the way, and returned after a while.

"How about it?"

"General Zhang, the general told you to withdraw your troops, there must be no mistake."

"What?" Zhang Jaw frowned, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to disobey Liu Ye's general order, so he sighed helplessly and ordered to call gold.

The infantry of the Liangzhou army who were fighting fiercely on the top of the city heard the sound of gold ringing from the army. Although they were fighting happily, they did not dare to disobey the military order. Therefore, some soldiers were cut off, and the rest were orderly. Slowly retreat.

"The enemy has retreated!"

"The enemy has retreated, the enemy has retreated!"

The Baibo thieves cheered happily, but Mrs. Guo turned around and laughed and said, "See? Liangzhou soldiers are victorious in all battles. In front of our Baibo army, they also have the waxy head of a silver gun, which looks good but not useful. "

"Master Guo is right!"

"Fight to the end with Liangzhou soldiers!"

Guo Tai successfully took advantage of the opportunity to repel the enemy and mobilized the morale of the Baibo thieves. For a while, there were thunderous cheers on the city wall of Baibo Valley. However, the Liangzhou army could not help but put down their flags and drums, and set up camp under Liu Ye's order.

night.

"General, I can't understand!" Zhang Jai was furious, and without notification, he rushed directly into the curtain and questioned Liu Ye.
