Chapter 899 The heavy infantry of rest is very powerful
The Parthian heavy infantry were indeed very strong and were not afraid of life or death. No matter how many lives Qin Nu took away, they would still fight to the bottom of the city wall.
A heavy infantryman climbed up the ladder.
"Separate the soldiers to throw stones and smash them, and don't let the Parthian heavy infantry climb up the city wall."
Cao Rendao.
Boom!
Stones were thrown down one by one, smashing the Parthian heavy infantry who had just climbed up the ladder to a bloody head and rolling down the ladder.
Even if he didn't die, his body would definitely be severely damaged.
The Parthian heavy infantrymen who were about to climb up the ladder under the city wall saw a large number of stones falling down and quickly dodged.
But what?
At this time, many heavy infantrymen rushed to the city wall and huddled together. They had no room to dodge and could only watch as stones were thrown at them.
ah!
Heart-rending shouts rang out, the sound resounded through the sky, making people's hair stand on end.
The Parthian heavy infantry had no choice. They had to rush down the city and enter the blind spot of Qin's crossbow shooting in order to avoid the crossbow arrows.
"Pour the golden juice under the city wall."
Cao Ren ordered.
The soldiers of the Xiakou Infantry Division started pouring pots of boiling golden juice under the city wall and on the ladders without hesitation.
Damn it!
The smell of gold juice at a temperature of nearly a hundred degrees is really unpleasant when it is poured on your body. Not only does it stink, but the key point is that this kind of thing is unhygienic.
Once burned, the wound will thicken. If there is a wound on the body itself, it will cause wound infection.
This was in ancient times, and medical technology was backward. There were no antibiotics such as anti-inflammatory drugs. Once the wound was infected, it could easily die.
Because of the lack of antibiotics, many soldiers injured on the battlefield suffered from a series of diseases such as high fever.
In ancient wars, not many soldiers were actually killed directly, and many died due to wound infection.
Everything unfolded in an orderly manner, and the heart-rending screams of the Parthian heavy infantry were heard everywhere on the battlefield.
It sounds shabby to people.
"Smash the rolling logs at the bottom of the city. Don't worry about the stones. The number of logs is not enough. We will repel the Parthians and we will pick them up again."
Cao Rendao.
As Cao Ren issued orders one after another, the soldiers of the Xiakou Infantry Division on the city wall carried out various attacks in an orderly manner.
Even if Parthian heavy infantry climbs up the city wall, they will immediately be blocked by the Rikka battle formation, forming a localized situation where the larger number will defeat the smaller number.
No matter how powerful the heavy infantry is, once it is attacked by a group of Rikka battle formations, no matter how good the defense is, it will be useless, and it will be severely damaged in a short time.
Heavy armor cannot cover the whole body, there are always some places that cannot be covered.
The Xiakou infantry of the Liuhua Battle Formation are equipped with bows, arrows, shields, spears, and swords, and work together to fight with each other.
Powerful.
brush!
A Parthian heavy infantryman climbed up the city wall, and immediately six soldiers from the Xiakou Army formed a battle formation and rushed towards him.
Two soldiers, holding shields in their left hands and sabers in their right hands in front, two spearmen behind them, and two archers in the middle.
In tacit cooperation with each other, the two shield soldiers pushed forward, and the spear soldier saw the right moment and stabbed out the spear in his hand at any time.
Whoosh!
An archer saw the right moment and shot an arrow, hitting the Parthian heavy infantry in the throat, and a stream of blood spurted out.
brush!
The shield soldier stepped forward, swung his sword, and chopped off the opponent's head.
dead.
The Rikka battle formations were blocked one by one at the place where the ladders were set up on the city wall. When they saw the Parthian heavy infantry climbing up, they killed them immediately, not giving the Parthian heavy infantry a chance to take action and annihilating them in the bud.
When Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals saw more and more Parthian heavy infantry climbing up, they drew their weapons and started hunting on the city wall.
Wow!
A bucket of golden juice fell under the city wall, followed by screams.
More than a dozen Parthian light infantry pushed a wheelbarrow with a log on top and quickly hit the city gate.
On the top of the city gate, several Xiakou Infantry Division soldiers saw the right moment and dropped the millstone hanging above the city gate.
It hit the wheelbarrow hard and the wheelbarrow instantly shattered into pieces.
Whoosh whoosh!
The archers of the infantry division on the city wall opened fire quickly, killing more than a dozen Parthian soldiers who were exposed and fled back.
Damn it!
The defensive power of the heavy infantry was astonishing. Even though the soldiers of the Xiakou Infantry Division formed a six-flower battle formation, it was still very difficult to kill the Parthian heavy infantry.
brush!
When Cao Hong saw that one of his soldiers was about to be killed by the heavy infantry, he quickly took two steps, the sword in his hand lit up, and faced the hard steel scimitar of the Parthian heavy infantry.
Bang!
Click!
The scimitar in the opponent's hand was broken into two pieces, and Cao Hong's sword was still the same as before, slashing towards the opponent's neck.
puff!
A head falls.
"Boy, be careful. Don't just focus on killing people without looking at the surrounding situation. Otherwise, you will become a martyr."
Cao Hongdao.
"Thank you, General Cao, for saving your life!"
Xiakou Xiaobing said.
brush!
Cao Hong nodded, holding his sword and pounced on the other Parthian heavy infantry who climbed onto the city wall.
Rest in Peace:
"General Muhan Mofei, it seems that our heavy infantry attacked the city wall, and the effect is really good!"
The adjutant said flatteringly.
"There are too few ladders and a large number of heavy infantry are crowded under the city wall. The numerical advantage of the heavy infantry cannot be used. We have to find a way to solve it."
General Muhan said.
"General Muhan, how about we let the light infantry carry the ladders and find a way to build more ladders.
In this way, we can take advantage of our military strength and put great pressure on the Lysians. As time goes by, the losses of the heavy infantry under the city will increase."
A Xi'an general said.
"Okay! Let's arrange it! Let the light infantry go faster. The heavy infantry is wearing heavy armor. Over time, the physical exhaustion will become unbearable."
General Muhan said.
"As you command!"
General Anxi saluted.
"Commander, let the remaining 5,000 heavy infantry prepare for battle. Once the siege has obvious effects, the 5,000 heavy infantry will attack immediately, without giving the Lysians time to react."
General Muhan said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"General Mohammad, this is not good! The soldiers wear heavy armor. If the siege of the city fails to be effective, it will consume the soldiers' physical strength. When the Lisian cavalry comes out of the city, how can we resist it?"
The adjutant said.
"Adjutant, do you think the Lysians dare to send out cavalry in this situation? They are not worried about our heavy infantry entering the city.
What a joke! Now we need to strengthen our attack, we can’t give the Lysians any time to rest, and we have to conquer the city in one go. This is the best choice for our Anxi army."
General Muhan said.
The adjutant and his generals did not dare to gnaw anymore. They closed their mouths one by one and became spectators, watching the show from the sidelines.
On the battlefield:
The battle was fierce!
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals also wielded their swords and killed a Parthian heavy infantryman who climbed up the city wall.
Four talented generals took action and instantly stabilized the situation.
The soldiers of the Xiakou Infantry Division raised stones and threw them at the city walls, and poured gold juice on the heads of the Parthian heavy infantry without hesitation.
Under the city wall, blood flowed out from a large number of Parthian heavy infantry and sprinkled on the ground, dyeing it red.
Even if he is not dead, his body is poured with gold juice and his wounds are stained with gold juice, it is still unknown whether he can survive.
How miserable!
It was extremely miserable under the city wall.
