Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Zhang Liao squinted at Hao Miluo's army formation, and saw tens of thousands of infantry lined up one after another, from the banks of the Indus River to the foot of the southern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountain.There are 28 cavalry phalanxes and infantry phalanxes.Each infantry phalanx consists of thousands of people, arranged in a dense formation of five rows and twenty columns.The cavalry phalanx is composed of [-] war cavalry, located in the front of the two wings of the army formation.

Zhang Liao immediately issued an order: "Order all the chariot soldiers and a battalion of Qingqi to withdraw from the battle area, and cruise [-] miles behind the formation to stand by. At the same time, prevent small groups of enemy cavalry from bypassing the main force of our army and attacking Fulousha City. Then order, The whole army forms a hollow defensive phalanx! The airship is ready to take off!"

Ma Chao asked suspiciously, "Why did we withdraw the chariot soldiers? This is our weapon against Guishuang's heavy cavalry."

Zhang Liao pointed to the opponent's army formation and said, "Look at the front of their army formation. It is extremely wide and completely blocks the twenty or thirty li passage from the Indus River to the foot of the mountain. In this way, there is no gap for our chariots to pass forward." , we will not be able to take advantage of the maneuverability. Our soldiers and horses with less than [-] people will not be able to stop their war cavalry. Once their war cavalry reaches our rear, it will completely squeeze out the combat space of our chariot. At that time, our chariots would no longer be able to take advantage of their speed and range, and would either be huddled in the hollow formation, or wiped out by the opponent's cavalry."

Ma Chao clasped his fists and said to Zhang Liao, "Thank you for your guidance, the coach, Meng Qiru has given me a lot of enlightenment."

While speaking, Liang Jun's chariot soldiers and a battalion of Qingqi had withdrawn to the rear.The rest of Liang Jun formed a hollow defensive formation.The huge Guishuang army formation also crushed Liang Jun like a mountain.

Chapter 461

There are tens of thousands of soldiers, connecting the sky and the earth.What's more, the huge Guishuang army has more than [-] soldiers and horses.The width of the entire military formation far exceeds the limit of normal people's vision.Looking from the direction of Liang Jun, the horizon is densely packed with human heads and flags, like a boundless tide rushing towards Liang Jun.

From the soldiers to the generals of Liang Jun, none of them panicked, and continued to line up the army in an orderly manner.The gun shield soldiers and the five rows of human walls were built around the hollow formation. In front of the human wall was a shield wall, and on the shield wall was a forest of gun blades.The outermost side is surrounded by heavy scull shield vehicles and scull shield vehicles, and there are pikemen and light ballistas in the scull shield vehicle.Behind the five rows of spear and shield soldiers is a circle of longbowmen.

In the middle of the phalanx is Liang Jun's ballista position.Liang Jun's war cavalry did not live in the formation, they also withdrew outside the formation like the chariot soldiers, but not as far away as the chariot soldiers.Instead, they cruised not far behind the hollow phalanx, and stopped work to support the infantry phalanx that was attacked at any time.The ballista was also equipped with a thick crossbow shield.In fact, the crossbow shield is originally mounted on the carriage of the vehicle-mounted ballista, and it only needs to be erected when it is used.Three other airships rose into the sky from the open space in the formation. Zhang Liao personally sat in the basket of the airship to observe the enemy's situation.

Hao Miluo was surrounded by all the generals in the formation, and he observed the enemy formation as intently as Zhang Liao.When he found out that the opponent was in a completely defensive formation like a hollow phalanx, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart and said, "If you want to be a bastard, then I'll let you guys do it. But your bastard will fall into my iron pot and be boiled."

He waved his hand and said: "The cavalry on both wings charge forward and sweep around the rear of the enemy's formation." Then the commanding soldiers issued the general order with the sound of drums and trumpets, and the two wings of the Guishuang army formation suddenly stepped up. Get up to speed and change formation.Some changed into a cone formation, and some changed into a front arrow formation, galloping forward, but instead of directly facing Liang Jun's phalanx, they detoured behind Liang Jun.

In Zhang Liao's bird's-eye view, the Guishuang army formation, which was originally a rectangle, turned into a big U-shaped formation, directly covering the Liang army formation.

Hao Miluo looked at the airship in the sky, and said: "When the range of the ballista is enough, first shoot down these watchtowers of Liang Jun!"

Dust was flying more than a dozen miles away from both sides of Liang Jun's phalanx, and the sound of galloping horseshoes was like summer thunder.It was the cavalry on both wings of Guishuang crossing Liang Jun's phalanx from both sides.The cavalry behind the Liang army did not intercept them, but divided into two groups, and spread out to both sides of their phalanx amidst the sound of whistles one after another, one rushed to the banks of the Indus River, and the other rushed to the Hinduku The foot of Shishan Mountain.

Unlike Zhang Liao, Hao Miluo had an airship to help out, so now he didn't know that Liang Jun's chariots had retreated thirty miles behind the formation, nor did he know that Liang Jun's cavalry was spreading out to the two wings.The restlessness of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the two armies on the battlefield caused dust to fill the sky. On the ground, the position and movement of the enemy can only be judged by the banners looming in the billowing yellow dust.

It never occurred to Hao Miluo that it was not his vanguard of the cavalry that first confronted the enemy, nor was it the Chinese phalanx that was facing the enemy.Instead, the tails of the cavalry units on both wings were first attacked by the cavalry stretched out to both sides by Liang Jun.

Qingqi Feiyu's arrows took advantage of the horse's momentum and shot at Guishuang's war cavalry with great kinetic energy. Amidst the crackling sound, Guishuang Qingqi, who had no armor protection, fell off the horse.The heavy cavalry equipped with heavy armor were all hit by five or six arrows, like hedgehogs.They didn't dare to hesitate to stay, and hurriedly followed the home team ahead.

Then it was the heavy cavalry charging forward with their lances standing like a forest, passing through the messy Guishuang cavalry like a horizontal comb.There is a corpse of Guishuang stuck on almost every lance.In a short while, those Guishuang warriors who fell behind were almost killed.

But the cavalry general who was galloping at the forefront didn't know about this, and it was certainly impossible for Hao Miluo to know.Someone in the infantry phalanx on the two wings behind Guishuang discovered this situation, but it was impossible to report the information to Hao Miluo immediately.Therefore, the various departments of the huge Guishuang army are still acting step by step according to the established plan.

The two Guishuang warriors who crossed the Liang Army's phalanx began to turn around about ten miles behind the Liang Army, blocking the Liang Army's back.At the same time, Liang Jun's war cavalry rushed towards the moving infantry formation on the two wings of Guishuang.

Most of the soldiers on the two wings of Guishuang who were marching forward with drums were not alert to this.They heard the sound of galloping horses like rolling thunder, but they thought it was the sound of their own cavalry charging forward.Only a few of them had doubts --- the sound of horseshoes had gone away just now, why is it suddenly approaching now.It's just that the thoughts of these few people cannot affect such a large army for a while.

When the soldiers of Guishuang saw the iron cavalry of the Liang army that came out of the billowing dust, the opponent was already close at hand, and the hairs on the soldiers of Guishuang exploded.

Before the leading general had time to give orders, the arrows came in a dense mass.Most of the Guishuang infantry have insufficient armor, not to mention that they are in a forward moving state and cannot better defend with shield arrays.After being shot by the arrow, many people fell to the ground and died with blood spattering.

The light cavalry who shot two waves of arrows immediately turned back, followed by Liang Jun's heavy cavalry roaring in a cone formation.The huge armored horse and the flying mace almost tore two huge gaps in the Guishuang army formation with little effort.The Guishuang soldiers were either overwhelmed by Liang Jun's iron cavalry, or they tried their best to dodge to both sides in panic.Liang Jun's heavy cavalry then galloped through the gap, followed by Qingqi.In this way, it is easily interspersed behind the Guishuang army formation.

It is impossible for Hao Miluo who lives in the formation to know what happened at both ends in a short period of time.Compared with the huge Guishuang army formation, Liang Jun's impact is just like a small stone thrown into a stone pond, causing a few ripples.The large formation with a width of tens of miles is still slowly moving towards the Liang Jun hollow square formation.

But at this time, the ballista in the Liang army's position had already started to project, and a stone bomb was fired, and the hot bombs hit the Guishuang army like raindrops.In Guishuang's large formation, from time to time, the head of a certain soldier can be seen suddenly disappearing without a trace in the splash of blood. fire man.

The longbowmen in the last row also began to shoot at the Guishuang army behind the human wall and shield wall.Heavy arrows pierced through the armor of Guishuang soldiers from time to time, knocking them to the ground.Guishuang's army finally came within fifty battles of Liang Jun's phalanx, and the crossbowmen in the rear also unleashed their bows and arrows.Thousands of arrows rushed towards Liang Jun overwhelmingly.

Liang Jun's phalanx was in the command body, and layers of shields were lifted layer by layer, but there was the sound of crackling arrows piercing the wood.The two armies finally officially began to confront each other.

Chapter 462 Timely Stop Loss

In addition to the bows and crossbows of the Guishuang army, the crossbows also began to bombard the Liang army.The outermost scull shield wall of Liang Jun, and the large shields in the hands of spear shield soldiers are filled with arrows, like hedgehogs.From time to time, large rocks projected by the Guishuang Ballista hit the scull shield, either splashing sawdust, or piercing a big hole in the shield surface.Occasionally, a boulder hit the large shield in the hands of the gun shield soldier, and the soldier was immediately knocked away by the huge impact, and he vomited blood and died after landing.

The Guishuang army continued to move forward, and more than a dozen ballistas of the Guishuang army were set up thirty battles away from the Liang army's phalanx.The bowstring of the ballista had already been wound by the winch, and the Guishuang ballista man installed a six-foot-long crossbow into the magazine.With the muffled sound of Pengpeng's bowstring ejection, more than a dozen crossbow guns flew into the air, and their targets were the Liang Jun airship floating in the air.

Zhang Liao was closely watching the battle situation on the ground when he suddenly heard a dull whistling sound in his ears, and saw a black figure rushing towards his face in his eyes, subconsciously shaking his figure, a crossbow shot dangerously from his face Skim forward.Then, another muffled bang came to his ears, and then he felt the hanging basket under him shake.It turned out that a crossbow gun was being shot at the airship basket.

Most of the dozen or so crossbow guns shot empty, but this also shocked the guards guarding Zhang Liao, and they persuaded Zhang Liao to drop the airship, or at least crouch in the hanging basket.But Zhang Liao still commanded without changing his face: "The archers release the arrows, guide the Qiang Eagles to drop the bombs, and destroy the enemy's crossbows first!"

A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen arrows with beacons were shot out by the longbowman, and all of them fell near the ballista of the Guishuang Army.Two or three arrows also shot and killed two Guishuang soldiers on the spot.

Immediately, seven or eight Qiang Eagles were released from the hanging baskets, screaming and flying towards the ballistas, each firmly holding a naphtha jar in their claws.They accurately dropped these pots to the ballista positions of the Guishuang Army.In the end, the rockets shot away like flying fire meteors, and the flames shot up into the sky in an instant, engulfing these ballistas in the sea of ​​flames.

Although the Guishuang ballista failed to cause damage to Liang Jun's airship, the two armies were already close at hand at this time.At this time, the news of the Liang Jun cavalry breaking through the Guishuang army formation from the two wings came one after another.

"Report! About [-] enemy cavalry broke through the formation from the left flank of our army and broke into the rear of our formation!"

"Report to General! About [-] enemy cavalry broke through our formation from the right flank and fled west to the rear of our formation!"

Hao Miluo, who was concentrating on observing the battlefield, was taken aback when he heard this.It is no small matter for the enemy cavalry to break into your own formation.He wanted to order to stop the army formation immediately, but at this time the Guishuang Army's central army phalanx had collided with Liang Jun's hollow phalanx at close range.Rows of javelins from the soldiers of the Liang Army hurled towards the Guishuang army formation like a torrential rain.Bloody flowers flew all over the sky, and shrill screams resounded across the battlefield.Guishuang's pawns fell in pieces.

Hao Miluo's pupils shrank, knowing that it was too late to retreat now, and if he forced a full retreat, he would have to pay a heavy price, and the whole army might collapse.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Send my military order to quickly recall our cavalry and let them defend the rear of the army formation. Order the infantry regiments on both wings to stop advancing and retreat slowly!"

Guishuang's military orders rode out in all directions, and the Guishuang infantry who were wrapping towards Liang Jun's formation from the two wings stopped one after another.But the Guishuang Central Army phalanx in the middle has collided with Liang Jun's hollow phalanx.

The tongues of Liang Jun's spears and spears like poisonous snakes continued to stab out from the gaps in the shield, and the Guishuang Army also stabbed at the opponent from the gaps in the shield wall with their spears.

Just as Liang Jun was fighting fiercely with Guishuang's Chinese army phalanx, Guishuang's two cavalry had joined forces more than ten miles behind Liang Jun's formation, pulled into a line, and turned around to press on Liang Jun.But at this moment something unexpected happened to them.

Heavy arrows like locusts suddenly struck from behind them, shooting them off their horses one after another.These heavy arrows are so powerful that they can even penetrate the iron armor of Guishuang heavy cavalry.Guishuang warriors turned their heads and looked behind them. It turned out that Liang Jun's longbow chariots rushed over, and they began to shoot arrows nearly a hundred battles away.Among the Guishuang war cavalry, they have already dealt with them, and the soldiers who have fought against them are already out of their wits.

The Guishuang soldiers, who had never seen the longbow chariot before, didn't take it seriously. They rode their horses and rushed towards the chariot without fear. They thought that as long as they caught up with each other, they would be able to take the opponent's head with a knife.This idea is also good, the problem is that they can't catch up with each other, and they have to be constantly shot by each other.

The Guishuang war cavalry was then divided into two parts, one went to chase Liang Jun's chariot soldiers, and the other continued to press towards the rear of Liang Jun's phalanx.

The result is not difficult to predict, those Guishuang cavalry who took the initiative to chase were shot under the horse by random arrows before they could touch the opponent.Just at this time, Hao Miluo's military order has arrived, asking them to go back to the rear of Guishuang's army to intercept the two cavalry of Liang Jun who rushed to the rear of Guishuang.

At this time, Guishuang's war cavalry had been scattered widely, some received military orders, and some did not receive military orders.The whole team suddenly became chaotic.Some Guishuang warriors had followed Hao Miluo's instructions and fled backward.

Standing in the basket of the airship, Zhang Liao saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, and said to himself: "The Guishuang army has been defeated, but this Hao Miluo is also good. Seeing that the situation is not right, immediately take measures to stop losses .Otherwise we would have seriously injured him in this battle. Pass our military order, and the chariot soldiers will launch a counterattack after defeating the enemy in front. Once the infantry phalanx defeats the besieging infantry, they will also launch a pursuit!" The commanding soldiers beside him Immediately raised the semaphore.

At this time, the infantry of the Guishuang Central Army and some Guishuang cavalry who had not received military orders were still attacking Zhang Liao's hollow phalanx.The scull and shield wall in front of the Guishuang infantry suddenly fell down. Before they figured out what happened, everyone felt a sharp pain on their face, hands or body, and crackling in their ears. Voice.The spear and shield soldiers in the last few rows of Liang Jun began to use the slingshots on the shields to shoot at the Guishuang soldiers.

Those slingshot strings made of vulcanized rubber can store enormous amounts of energy.The pea-sized iron ball was ejected at a great speed and sank into the face and body of the Guishuang soldier.Amidst the screams, the Guishuang soldiers of the Chinese army backed involuntarily, some people were tripped to the ground, and countless people stepped on him.

Some of the Guishuang warriors who were still rushing towards the Liang army's formation were first shot by javelins and flying spears more than ten battles away, and then they were also shot intensively by the slingshots of the spear and shield soldiers.Like the pawns, their morale was devastated, and they fled far away to the two wings.

Liang Jun's chariot soldiers had already chased some other Guishuang war cavalry.Now, except for some of the Guishuang war cavalry who had received Hao Miluo's military order and had already retreated, the rest fled in all directions.

Chapter 463 Soldiers Arriving at Lan's City

Not long after Hao Miluo handed down the military order, surrounded by personal guards, he fled to the rear.Soon thereafter, his Chinese army's phalanx also began to flee, but the cavalry of the Liang army who had passed their army formation also launched a head-on attack on the retreating Guishuang army.The first to be attacked was not the Chinese army phalanx that had just been defeated by Guishuang, but the infantry phalanx that had already begun to retreat on the two wings according to Hao Miluo's order.

Liang Jun's superior iron armored cavalry blew towards Guishuang's defeated army like a whirlwind, and harvested the names of countless Guishuang soldiers like a whirlwind.

Standing in the basket of the airship, Zhang Liao could see clearly that the Guishuang army was in chaos on the battlefield.Many cavaliers were not only running away, but also fleeing in a frantic rout that had lost their sense of direction.Some fled and ran into Liang Jun's army head-on.

Zhang Liao saw with his own eyes that after a retreating Guishuang infantry phalanx was scattered head-on by Liang Jun's iron cavalry, a small group of soldiers among them got the wrong direction and ran southeast instead of west.Encounter with a group of Liang Jun chariot soldiers running.The latter circled around them, shot a dozen arrows and killed them all on the ground.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Liao said, "Sound the charge drum. The whole army goes out!" The commanding soldiers beside him immediately took up the horns they had prepared long ago, and blew them.The drums in Liang Jun's army also sounded.

The phalanx of the Liang army's central army immediately evolved into a marching army, and they also joined the pursuit team, chasing the fleeing Hao Miluo army.In Zhang Liao's bird's-eye view, Hao Miluo's army was like the ebbing sea water from a potholed beach, divided into countless strands, receding chaotically and at different speeds.

Liang Jun's chariot soldiers, cavalry, and infantry pursued him closely, and the corpses of Hao Miluo's army who had only been killed were scattered all over the field.However, part of Hao Miluo's troops retreated early and did not collapse, so the whole army has not yet reached the point of total defeat.

Two hours after Liang Jun pursued Hao Miluo, Zhang Liao gave the order to withdraw his troops.If the pursuit continues, Zhang Liaojun will also bear the risk of advancing alone.The troops chasing at the forefront are likely to be eaten by a counterattack organized by the opponent.The army under Zhang Liao's direct command now has less than [-] soldiers, and he has to cherish every soldier.

Hao Miluo ran back to Piccolo City in one breath, and just started to gather the defeated soldiers.After a busy day and night, Hao Miluo gathered the remnants and defeated generals, combined with the troops left behind in Beek City, there were still over 2 troops in total.He breathed a sigh of relief.And secretly rejoicing---fortunately, I found out something was wrong early, and made a quick decision to let the troops on the two wings evacuate, otherwise I might be wiped out now.

But Hao Miluo hadn't relaxed for two hours, and bad news came one after another.Zhang Ren's Viking fleet really made a comeback, and it has appeared on the Indus River southwest of Beek City, and the main force of Zhang Liao of Liang Jun has also sailed to the Indus River east of Beek City.In addition, there is another army that also appeared in the north of Beek City. This army is familiar to the Guishuang Army.

After Seguli helped the Liang army conquer the Hindu Kush Pass, he led his troops to "persuade" two or three small cities located on the plain between the Hindu Kush Pass and Fulusha.Although the three small cities are not important places, the remaining Guishuang troops stationed in the city can pose a threat to Liang Jun and Liang Jun's supply channels.So these three small cities received "special treatment" from Zhang Liao.After the Segulu mercenary group surrendered the three cities, they rushed to the front line immediately, just as the first battle was over, they directly arrived at the city of Piccolo.

Now, although the total strength of the three armies is still not as strong as that of Hao Miluo, they have formed a tendency to encircle Bike City.

After the previous battle, Hao Miluo no longer dared to confront Zhang Liao in the field.The [-] soldiers and horses were all hoarded in the city of Beek and a camp next to the city, as horns for each other.Two days later, Liang Jun's three armies joined forces under the city of Bike, and after two days of fighting, they captured the Guishuang military camp outside the city.The [-] Guishuang soldiers in the camp will all be wiped out.

Bick City suddenly became an isolated city.The strange thing is that Hao Miluo didn't have much anxiety on his face when the battle situation reached such a point.At the regular meeting, his generals asked with anxious and puzzled expressions: "General, are we going to sit here and wait for death?"

Hao Miluo pretended to be relaxed and said: "Of course not, have you forgotten that I sent messengers to form an alliance with the White Huns? They have already agreed to this matter. According to the time, it is time to send troops to the Lan family." Once they captured Lanshi City, cleared the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River, cut off the Congling Ridge and even captured the Hindu Kush Pass, then the [-] to [-] Liang troops outside the city would all be alone. In due time, they would If you don't fight, you will lose."

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them was still a little worried and asked, "But what if the White Huns break their promise..."

Hao Miluo interrupted the other party with a wave of his hand in displeasure: "They will not break their promises. Although these disgusting people have no faith at all, they will send troops to attack Liang as promised for their own interests." Although Hao Miluo said so, But my heart is still a little beating.

……

Zhao Yun stood at the head of Lan's city, overlooking the city.The city is full of war horses and tents of the disgusting people.Countless Guishuang people who were taken captive lived in China with the sound of the whip, felling wood and quarrying stones, building fortifications and digging trenches for the Yanda people to make siege equipment.

A few days ago, the White Huns had indeed launched an attack on the Liang army perfidiously as Zhang Liao had warned them to do.However, according to Zhang Liao's suggestion, Zhao Yun had stockpiled enough food and grass in Lan's City and its acropolis five miles away.The Liang army in the northern border of Guishuang all shrank into these two cities, forming horns with each other.Except for some secret sentries in the mountains, checkpoint strongholds, Liang Jun's daily patrols, and grain transportation activities have all stopped.The 2 civilian husbands also retreated early to the Han territory east of Congling.

The menacing White Huns quickly seized all the northern territory of Guishuang except Lanshi City and the Hindu Kush Pass.And surrounded Lan's City and its acropolis with water.The White Huns had to conquer the Lanshi City before they could attack the Hindu Kush Pass.

But it is clear that the White Huns are not good at attacking the city, and their special service king is also self-aware, so these days they only besiege but not attack, and they mobilize a large number of Guishuang civilians to build siege fortifications and equipment, and prepare to take the Lan's city in one fell swoop.These fortifications and utensils include high forts overlooking the city and for crossbowmen to shoot at targets in the city, ramps for horses to gallop directly to the top of the city, and towers for infantry to climb the top of the city as if they were walking on flat ground.Of course, there are also various catapults. Although these catapults are not as sophisticated as ballistas, they have a great advantage in numbers.The battle under Lan's city is imminent.

Chapter 464 Bloody Battle in Lanshi City

Under the scorching sun outside Lan's city, the slave laborers gathered like ants in groups and were busy.

There was a loud "bang", and a huge stone bullet was thrown from the Lan's city wall, and landed on the earth barrier that was being rebuilt, kicking up a column of dust.Those Guishuang peasants who were pouring soil to build the platform scattered like flies.Immediately afterwards, the disgusted person who supervised their work yelled angrily, and the whip in his hand crackled, and he was about to whip the peasants on the heads.

Unexpectedly, a fireball was shot at this time, and it landed at the feet of this disgusting person.The clay pot shattered, and flames shot up from the sky, and the White Hun overseer was engulfed in the sea of ​​flames.When the flames disappeared, he had turned into a burning man, screaming and rolling on the ground a few times before being silent.The civilian laborers next to him watched him numbly, gradually turning into a piece of coke in the embers of the fire.

Due to the continuous bombardment of the ballista in Lan's city, and the projection of the Qiang eagle.The progress of the dozens of earth fortresses built by the Yanda people around the Lan's City was slow and delayed.The five-day construction period of this plan was delayed for half a month before the earth barrier was barely built.Under every earth barrier are buried the bones of Guishuang peasant laborers. Some of them died from the bombardment of the beam army's ballista and the shooting of the longbow, some died of exhaustion, and of course some died under the whip and stick of the white Xiongnu supervisor.

At this time, the crossbowmen and soldiers of Yanda people boarded the various earth fortresses, while observing the situation in the city, they shot arrows into the city from time to time.The Liang army in the city also continued to fight back, and from time to time there were cases where all the soldiers on the earth base were killed by a single explosive bomb.

In the end, the annoying people finally learned to be smart.They built sheds of wood and covered them with thick damp straw.In this way, if the explosive bomb falls on it, it may not necessarily shatter, and the wrapped fire starter will slowly extinguish under the barrier of damp straw.However, the people on the earth base will be pierced by Liang Jun's heavy arrows, or will be smashed to pieces by ballista bombs.

Seeing this situation, Secret Service didn't want to spend any more time with Zhao Yun, and immediately launched an all-out attack on Lan's City.

It was another cool morning, and the outside of Lan's City was exceptionally quiet.But then the wilderness outside the city began to be noisy, and the army of the White Huns began to gather.Groups of war cavalry, amidst the sound of drums and horns, the infantry stepped into the predetermined position one by one.The place beyond the hundred battles outside the city wall was already covered in darkness.

A loud arrow suddenly sounded and rushed into the sky, and the noisy army of the White Huns fell silent.The top of Lan's City was also silent as if it was unguarded.

Then, only hearing the hoof of the horse for a while, Teqin rode his horse to the high platform that had been set up before the battle.He pointed a scepter in his hand to the air, and babbled a few times in the White Hun language, thousands of White Huns responded to him with a roar like a tsunami.Then he pointed the scepter at the city wall again.The White Xiongnu's army burst out with drums and trumpets, and a mass of black heads rushed towards the Lan's City.

The crossbowmen on the earth barrier also got out of the shed and shot arrows desperately into Lan's city.At this time, two layers of walls with a thickness of two feet were built on the head of the Lan's City, and all the soldiers of the Liang Army crouched behind the walls.The crossbowmen standing on the earth barrier could barely see their figures, but the bows and arrows in their hands could not hit the opponent no matter what, because the trajectory of their bows and arrows was not a straight line.On the contrary, these crossbowmen were still injured by the heavy arrows shot by the longbowmen in the city from time to time.

The first ones to approach the city were the catapults of the Yanda people. These catapults stopped thirty battles away from the city wall, took a posture, and began to throw stones at the top of the city.

The ten slingers of the diabolical people all pulled the rope of the catapult.As soon as they threw a big stone, a Liang Jun stone bullet passed through their crowd.After crushing one person's head and two people's leg bones, Fang stopped on the ground.

These ballistas of Liang Jun were placed on the back side of the top of the city wall, and they were all within the range of the crossbowmen on the earth barrier, but there were thick wooden boards to defend against arrows in front of the ballista.Arrows shot from the mounds could not have hurt the ballistas.

These Liang Army crossbowmen constantly adjusted the shooting angle of the gun positions and calibrated the ballistics, so that the projectiles fired by the crossbows became more and more accurate.In front of a catapult of the White Huns, five soldiers who threw stones had already been killed.Due to the lack of manpower, the stones thrown by this trebuchet looked soft.

A general of the White Huns hurried over and shouted, "Give up this! Go to another trebuchet to replenish the manpower!"

The remaining soldiers followed their instructions and came to another trebuchet that was also understaffed, and more than ten people began to pull the rope and throw the loaded stones out.But they were only halfway through, and everyone's eyes showed fear, and a bigger and bigger fireball was reflected in their pupils.With a bang, the flames rose into the air under their feet, wrapping them and the catapults together... After a short time, most of the catapults were destroyed.

Among the swarming army of Yanda people rushing to the city, Qingqi rushed to the forefront, less than thirty battles away from the city wall.The arrows in the hands of the riders shot towards the city like locusts.There was a real rain of arrows on the top of Lan's City, and the ballista players had to suspend their operations, sticking their bodies close to the arrow shield in front of the ballista to avoid the arrows that were pouring like rain.

But at this moment, several behemoths rose from the city---Liang Jun's airship.Of course, the longbowmen on the airship were not enough to suppress so many White Huns cavalry archers, but the arrows they shot all carried beacons. More than 50 falcons soared into the sky and rushed towards the disgusting people.More than 30 of them are only Qiang Eagles dedicated to bombing, and the rest are Haster Giant Eagles that have not been put into actual combat for a long time, and there are not many in number.

Clay pots filled with naphtha kept falling under the horseshoes of these White Hun cavalry archers. The latter immediately understood and shot arrows into the air intensively.But at the height of those Qiang eagles, it is difficult for their arrows to reach.The naphtha sprinkled all over the battlefield was immediately ignited by the longbowmen's rockets, and the flames scattered here and there, and some of the unlucky ones were even engulfed by the flames.

A few tired Qingqi just escaped the flames, and bent their bows and set arrows to search for the target in the air, but they saw a huge black shadow enveloping them. It was a giant eagle with an unusually large body, and its wingspan was nearly [-]. Two battles.

The arrows in their hands involuntarily shot at the giant eagle, and the giant eagle shook its wings fiercely, and these tired light riders suddenly felt the wind blowing, and all the arrows shot at the giant eagle were blown away. scattered.

Several people agreed and closed their eyes reflexively.They felt swept by a gust of wind and heard a snap.When they opened their eyes, they found that the head of a companion was missing, and the headless corpse was slowly falling sideways from the saddle.The horses under the crotch were trembling.

Chapter 465 Bloody Battle in Lanshi City

Just when these annoying Qingqi were frightened and their morale was low.Those tired infantry carrying ladders and pushing all kinds of siege equipment have already flocked to take over their burdens.The White Huns cavalry archers rode their horses out of the way with relief, circled around and returned to the back of the army.

These tired infantry are actually cavalry, but now they all abandon horses and fight on foot in order to attack the city.The White Huns do not have pure infantry.

Among them, the crossbowmen fired their bows and arrows less than thirty battles away from the city wall. The rain of arrows on the top of Lan's City was more dense than before. The entire top of the city seemed to be covered with straw, densely packed with arrow shafts.The crossbowman was still clinging to the wooden shield in front of him, unable to move at all.The rest of the Liang army generals at the head of the city also clinging to the double-layered wall remained motionless, including Zhao Yun.

Those falcons have almost exhausted their physical strength, and they need to rest for some time, and it is impossible to let them go out continuously.Only the longbowmen on the airship were still sniping at the enemy soldiers, but there were less than thirty longbowmen in the airship gondola, facing the surging army of the White Huns, they couldn't even call it a drop in the bucket.

It wasn't until the forest of ladders were erected against the walls around Lan's City that the crossbowmen stopped firing arrows.The tired infantry has a scimitar in its mouth, a round shield on its back, and climbs up the ladder with hands and feet.The head of Lan's city still didn't respond.

A leader of the White Huns, eager to strive for success, climbed to the top of the city in three steps and two steps in parallel. With one mouth, the scimitar fell into his hand.Holding the knife, he was about to jump behind the wall when he heard a crackling sound, and his whole body was shattered.The body split into five parts and fell to the ground.It turned out that it was a close-range shot from a city ballista, and a huge stone bullet was hitting him.

The follow-up infantry continued to rush to the top of the city wave after wave.Hearing a loud shout from Zhao Yun, he jumped out, picked up and overturned two Yanda people with his silver gun, and pierced the chest of the leader of Yanda with another long rainbow.Instead of retracting the gun, he raised the long spear and directly swung the corpse hanging from the gun barrel down to the city.The silver gun quickly stabbed the surrounding people like a tree full of pear blossoms.

Immediately after Zhao Yun, Liang Jun, who was lying behind the first pile of walls, came out together.The gleaming spears stabbed at the tired infantry intensively from the crenel.Before they could hold the scimitar in their mouths, many of them were shot and fell to the ground and died.

The White Huns on the top of the wall were quickly cleaned up, and the soldiers of the Liang Army leaned out half of their bodies and rushed towards the ladder outside the wall.A soldier of the Liang army had just pried over the ladder with a gun, but was shot into the eye socket by a sharp arrow, and fell to the top of the wall with a scream.Regardless of the danger of accidentally injuring the Pancheng accomplices, the annoying crossbowmen shot arrows at the top of the city again.In a short time, dozens of Liang soldiers were injured or injured by arrows, and they had to lie behind the wall again.

But at the same time, many climbers were accidentally injured by their own arrows from behind, and fell down the ladder screaming and cursing.But there are still many disgusted people who once again boarded the city.

Zhao Yun gave another order, and personally held a shield and a knife to kill the general, used the shield to resist the arrows, and stabbed the enemy soldiers with the knife.The rest of Liang Junbing will fight the enemy at close range, just like Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun chopped four or five people in a row, but a soldier from behind used a machete to slash at Zhao Yun's neck silently.When the scimitar blade was still one foot away from Zhao Yun's neck, the soldier's whole body suddenly froze, and he fell down like a wooden stake.It turned out that a sharp arrow from our own side shot into his stamina brainstem.

The general Yanda who commanded the front line under the city could see clearly that his own crossbowmen accidentally injured too many of his own people, so he ordered these crossbowmen to stop shooting.At the same time, the ramps of the white Xiongnu's building cars approached the city wall of Lan's City one after another.
