Chapter 325 The White Wave Valley
"The siege engine is pressing on, and the crossbowmen are completely suppressing the enemy. We must break the city within two quarters of an hour!"
Zhang Jai pressed Liu Ye's saber with his hand, dressed in military attire, calm and composed.
Liangzhou soldiers invested a total of 20,000 troops this time, and there were 10,000 infantrymen in the frontal attack. They were all well-equipped soldiers. A real onslaught was launched.
This time was different from the daytime. Liu Ye had no intention of storming the Baibo Valley from the very beginning, so although the daytime was raining arrows like a tide, the pawns did not try their best.
If it is a real onslaught, it is natural to have the coordination of infantry and bows. The crossbowmen suppress the enemy at the top of the city with a violent rain of arrows. When the offensive of the archers weakens for a moment, the infantry should immediately press forward with the force of a flood.
In fact, this is similar to modern infantry coordination, except that the long-range firepower of archers is not as good as that of artillery.
At this moment, the Liangzhou army with excellent quality finally showed its full strength.
Whoosh whoosh!
Five thousand archers drew their bows and set their arrows, like a machine, untiringly opened their bows and set their arrows. After the arrows were shot, they wove a huge net in the sky and shrouded it towards the Baibo Valley. As long as the Baibo thief dared to show his head, Immediately, he will be hit by the dense rain of arrows and shot into a hedgehog.
At the same time, 10,000 Liangzhou army infantry went out of the camp brazenly, carrying ladders on their shoulders, and under the cover of their own archers, they marched forward quickly. After arriving at the city wall of Baibo Valley, they immediately set up ladders and bit steel knives , holding a leather shield, climbing up with both hands and feet.
Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, a slightly rough wooden siege vehicle covered in cowhide moved forward slowly, aiming at the enemy's city gate.
Han Xian was so busy that he was shocked when he saw the enemy's siege vehicles: "Where are the archers? Hurry up and suppress the enemy, and pour kerosene on the enemy's siege vehicles!"
Although hearing Han Xian's order, the crossbowmen reluctantly stood up to fight back, but there were only more than two thousand archers in the Baibo Valley, and the total number was less than half of the Liangzhou Army. The army's intensive arrow rain hit, causing many casualties.
Although the siege vehicle was shot by the enemy's bow and crossbow, the pawns protecting the siege vehicle held shields in their hands and blocked many arrows. Moreover, although the siege vehicle was temporarily built by logging supervisors, it is naturally impossible for the utensils manufactured in the army to be crudely made. The thick cowhide covers the body. Even if an arrow hits it, it will either be bounced out or blocked by the cowhide. .
Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, although the siege engine moved slowly, it finally reached the city gate.
"Collide!"
Hitting the wood backwards, and then bumping forward, the two wooden doors shook suddenly, even the city wall of Baibo Valley was shaken.
Han Xian wanted to order people to attack directly from the city to destroy the enemy's siege vehicles, but he was already entangled by people, and the infantry of the Liangzhou army climbed to the top of the city, especially the enemy general with a spear, even more so. It is unstoppable.
"Xiliang Pound is here!"
Pound was usually good at leading the cavalry to fight, but this time when he attacked Baibo Valley, the enemy army was firmly in the valley, and the horses that the cavalry stepped down could never grow wings and fly in.
From a distance, Pang De saw Han Siam surrounded by white wave thieves, apparently the leader of the white wave thieves, his eyes flashed, and he rushed forward with a spear in his hand.
"Go to hell." With a shake of the spear in Pang De's hand, he immediately picked and killed a Baibo thief. He led dozens of elites, and killed Han Siam. This small team used Pound as an arrow to kill all the way forward, which can be said to be overwhelmed. Although there are many white wave thieves, they were killed by Pound and retreated one after another.
Han Siam frowned: "Who is here?"
"Big Han Zhenwei Zhonglang General, Pound!"
Before the person arrives, he will be the first to steal the show! Pound yelled loudly, which could be heard for several miles around. A spear shot out from his hand, and in an instant, it passed the necks of the two white wave thieves. With Han Siam approaching.
Although there were a lot of guards around Han Siam, they were all left behind by Pang De. He actually entered the enemy line alone, with dozens of personal soldiers still far behind.
Seeing this, Han Xian immediately ordered: "The guards listen to the order and surround and kill Pang Bandit."
More than a dozen Baibo thief guards immediately agreed, and then they all raised their spears to meet them head-on. More than a dozen spears stabbed towards Pound from all directions, but Pound was not afraid at all. He grabbed a shield from the ground, attached his whole body to the shield, and flew out like a shell.
Boom!
Pound used his body as a weapon, and several white wave thieves in front of him were directly knocked into the air by him. Pound threw out the shield casually, and stood up with his spear tightly.
prick!
Han Xian opened his eyes wide, and hastily pulled out the ring sword, while Pound's spear pierced through a soldier in front of him, just hitting the blade.
Pang De didn't care, and kicked the Baibo thief on the spear, and then stabbed at Han Siam with a spear. His eyes were wide open, with a ferocious look, and Han Siam was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Han Siam was originally supervising the army at the head of the city. Liangzhou soldiers attacked the city at night with great momentum. Nor can it be undone.
"General Han is gone, what are we still doing here?"
"Let's go, my mother, wife and children are all in the valley, take them away quickly, don't let the officers and soldiers kill them."
The Baibo thieves on the city wall were like three people becoming tigers. The adverse effects of Han Siam's defeat came, and tens of thousands of Baibo thieves turned around and fled immediately.
The ram on the siege engine slammed into the city gate fiercely. With each impact, the cracks on the two wooden doors became more and more dense, countless tiny cracks connected together, and the whole wooden door became is at stake.
Finally, with the forceful impact of the siege engine guards, the wooden city gate could no longer support it and shattered with a creak.
"The city gate is broken!"
"Get in!"
There was no need to open their jaws to give orders, the impatient Liangzhou soldiers who had gathered outside Baibo Valley long ago cheered like thunder, and then rushed into Baibo Valley impatiently.
More than ten thousand infantry rushed into the Baibo Valley, the archers stopped shooting arrows, and Zhang Jai sent someone to report victory to Liu Ye.
Liu Ye smiled, but said to the scouts: "Tell Junyi, the soldiers must be restrained, and don't do more evil, especially the old, weak, sick and disabled in Baibo Valley, you must not be rude, you know?"
Liangzhou soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, but they are also fierce by nature, prone to burning, killing and looting. Thanks to Liu Ye's generous reward with real money, they can suppress it.
