The attack array of the Turkic army is really shocking. The orderly columns make the arrangement of troops neither crowded nor loose. The first row of long guns, the second row of heavy shields, the third row, the fourth row and the fifth row are all archers. Each infantry phalanx is slowly advancing, and each infantry phalanx is mixed with cavalry of different numbers.
And farther away, the cavalry of the Turkish army seemed to be arrayed like a steel forest at the sight of the ocean. Although the military forces were numerous, they did not have many people and rushed forward. Obviously, the leaf guard Khan was also good at generals.
The Turkish foot soldiers didn’t rush, but the Zhao foot soldiers were ready here. But when Weichi Gong waved ten thousand Zhao foot soldiers into the position, Zhao foot soldiers briskly stepped on the wooden ladder and boarded the laminated wall, while another wave of foot soldiers entered the laminated wall and fired at the mouth. All the boards were pulled open.
The foot soldiers of Zhao aimed their arms and crossbows at the Turkic army from the shooting mouth, but the foot soldiers of the city wall prepared equipment such as long guns and refused to hook to deal with the Turks’ invasion of the city. More than 30 crossbows were cleverly hidden behind the city wall, and there was a row of trebuchets, stones, kerosene bombs and other equipment in the stone cave, which were all in place waiting for the Turks to attack.
After the Turkish foot soldiers approached, the formation remained unchanged, and then they began to clean up Abatis ahead.
When the Turkish foot soldiers arrived at nearly 200 steps, Weichi Gong’s big hand volatilized the shooting order
"Light vector shooting!"
Zhao’s bolt covered the whole day, and the Turkish foot soldiers felt that the shield in their hands sank, and a row of arrows inserted the shield. Dozens of Turkish foot soldiers fell down in their hands and feet, and Turkish foot soldiers immediately came to take their place.
After a round of shooting, the Zhao crossbow machine began to load, but the Turkish soldiers were unusually calm and did not rush.
Weichi Gong saw that the Turks didn’t rush to press their hands to wait for the second row and the third row of crossbowmen behind the wall. Don’t shoot arrows. The arrows are dense like weeds. The Turkic infantry phalanx moves on.
"Change archers!"
Weichi Gong ordered 3,000-step bows to climb the wall from the bamboo ladder.
"Point rocket scattering!"
After the drum rumbled, Zhao Jun took out the arrow wrapped in cotton cloth and lit it, then raised the bow for 45 days and shot it up to the sky!
Jumping out of the wooden wall with the arrows of Mars, a dazzling red color was shaken and shot at the Turkish phalanx with neat flags across the line.
The Turkish foot soldiers squatted on the ground with shields raised, but they shot at the ground with fire arrows. Many Turkish foot soldiers tiptoed to avoid the Turkish army array, and there was a little commotion, but after a while, the Turkish foot soldiers got together again.
Weichi Gong looked at it and nodded. "Turks have two things. Keep shooting!"
Zhao’s 3,000 archers continued to shoot arrows, and Zhao’s crossbowman fired a second shot after loading the laminated wall.
The casualties of the Turkish army increased, but they were within their acceptable range. Their soldiers held high shields and stalked their necks and marched forward. Behind the array, the armor and combat knives of the Turkish cavalry reflected sunlight constantly flashing. Obviously, in this way, they took part in the offensive war and were very chatting, so they were ready to move, but the whole front remained motionless.
"shoot!"
Ten paces closer to the wooden wall, the Turk archers threw spears, and the stone-throwers began to shoot at the Zhao city wall.
The arrows crossed the gap between the two armies, and the Zhao army was covered by wooden walls, while the Turkish army was covered by shields. It was obvious that the Zhao army had the upper hand in shooting, and the Turkish archers fell aside one after another. When the soldiers saw Paoze’s death, their spirits were tense and numb, and they repeatedly screamed at archery.
On the other side, after the left-wing village rumbled, Tang Jun also began to advance. At this time, it was almost half an hour since the intentional Turkic attack began.
Tang Jun’s attack on the left wing is a general, and his grandson is jealous of Tang Jun. There are 50,000 troops here, and the defense is Wang Mahan’s 30,000-strong guard.
Wang Mahan built a double-layer slab wall around the village fortification, and inside it was the support point of the village courtyard, which was fortified everywhere.
Tang Jun foot soldiers lined up in the back, carrying a bamboo ladder on their shoulders and marching towards the Zhao wall. After that, they brought a crossbow catapult from Chang ‘an to the village in turn, and the Tang Jun crossbow was also very advanced. When attacking Luoyang City, Tang Jun bombarded Luoyang City with a trebuchet, which could shoot 50 kilograms of boulders and throw 200 steps, while the crossbow was like a spoke and a huge axe, which could shoot 500 steps.
Tang Jun foot soldiers pushed the crossbow catapult to approach the village.
It can be expected that the defense of Zhao’s wooden slab wall, such as bed crossbows and catapults, is somewhat inadequate.
However, Wang Mahan didn’t want to rely on the wall to defend the left wing. Other departments thickened the rammed earth wall of the village, which was the second line of defense. He arranged many roadblocks to make the village road like a maze.
After the first wave of troops in Tang Jun reached the village, about 5,000 troops stopped. The soldiers in Tang Jun erected spears and inserted them into the site. The long wind blew the spears almost covered with plains and shook them like winded trees.
"The general trebuchet bed crossbow is in place!"
The eldest grandson glanced at the distance with a faint expression. "What are you waiting for? Let Zhao see us!"
The sharp roar sounded, and the foot soldiers of Tang Jun held their breath and watched the stone cut through the top of their heads and smashed into this unknown village, making a slight muffled sound.
Stone thrower Tang Jun foot soldiers roared, pulled the stone rope and threw the stone into a parabola and smashed it into the Zhao army array. At a distance, they saw that it seemed that the straw and sticks piled up in the farm houses floated up, while the wooden houses faltered and shook for a while, and a piece of dust spread.
This kind of riprap didn’t hurt a few people, but it could hurt morale.
After two rounds of shooting by Tang Jun’s trebuchet, Grandson Ji pointed the flag forward and Tang Jun’s phalanx began to move forward, but the trebuchet shooting did not stop.
Li Chongjiu withdrew his eyes from the left-wing war. Both the left wing and the right wing have already started, but the main force of Li Tang Zhongjun has not made any movement
"Is Li Shimin playing a two-wing breakthrough plan?" to be continued
Chapter one hundred and fifty-five Unexpected (second more)
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Shortness of war drums rang, and Tang Jun foot soldiers in the front row picked up speed with sculling shields.
And behind the trebuchet and crossbow bed is the first time to ChengTou Zhao vented a wave of stone arrows.
Tang Jun’s foot soldiers head ling and boulders whizzing past, hitting Zhao Jun’s wooden wall and punching holes, and Zhao Jun’s arrows on the board wall are also diffuse and like migratory locusts.
Arrows are inserted into rows of Tang Jun foot soldiers’ boots on the ground at an angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees. It is almost a step to break the arrows and advance the wooden wall. After the Zhao army moved forward, it was also prepared for Tang Jun to throw stones. They propped up a curtain made of layers of ripe cowhide to prevent the trebuchet from destroying the wall.
Looking at the observatory, Wang Mahan looked at his teeth and rattled. "Mom, is there a trebuchet bed crossbow in Li Shimin?" Old orders give me a counterattack! "
The foot soldiers in the village of Zhao tore off the tarpaulin of the trebuchet and loaded it with stone bullets, then they rushed out at the foot soldiers in Tang Jun.
The crossbow on the wall bed also shows ferocious fangs.
Arrows and stone bullets also cover Tang Jun’s head. They don’t have a board wall to cover the expert’s sculling shield to block it, but Zhao Jun’s spear and stone bullets are dozens of pounds or hundreds of pounds heavier.
In this way, it’s better to hit the boulder and touch the shield. The stone falls and the shield is scattered, and the broken arm of the foot soldiers is almost smashed into blood and flesh.
Screams come and go, shields fall apart, bones crack and sound like pieces.
The arrow of the bed crossbow is like a farmer plowing the field, tearing the hair in front of Tang Jun’s bed crossbow.
It was dark, and the Tang Jun foot soldiers were constantly hit by stone bullets and arrows, but they were instantly filled with Tang Jun from the rear.
For the dominant force, Chang Sunji, this loss is not at all.
