Chapter 676: Three-layer Defense Tactics

The two flag battalions under Li Qing were responsible for assault tasks for the entire regiment. The six thousand Nanchuan soldiers were light infantry and did not carry any heavy weapons with huge lethality. The original defensive weapons in Qinghe City were only a few unmaintained crossbow machines, and there were even fewer crossbow arrows.

"shooting!"

The crossbow machine began to roar, and the crossbow arrows flashed with a cold light ejected out with a crack. The whistling crossbow arrows were powerful, directly overturning the Rong cavalry from the horse, splashing a piece of smoke and dust on the ground.

However, there are too many cavalrymen in the Rong tribe and too few crossbows to form intensive shooting at all, and the lethality is greatly reduced. It is better to put it on the city wall than to be nothing.

The Rong cavalry close to the city wall clasped the iron hook rope tightly with both hands and climbed the city wall with both feet. They moved with agility like monkeys, quickly climbing towards the city wall.

A Nanchuan soldier tried to poke out and cut off the ropes of the Rong soldiers, but just after poke out, he was shot dead by the Rong short archers who were covering the city to shoot. He screamed and fell backwards to the city.

The sergeant commander Li Qing was good at commanding heavy infantry combat and liked the pleasure of these steel monsters rushing around, but now commanding a small number of light infantry to resist strong enemies, which made him feel restricted.

He was also a general with experience in defending the city. When he was in Austin, their corps resisted hundreds of thousands of Red Turban soldiers' attacks for a whole day. However, at that time, Austin stored a large number of excellent weapons and equipment, with only three million wolf-tooth arrows, which completely suppressed the number of opponents.

Now Nanchuan is short of soldiers and has few crossbowmen. There are no powerful people like catapults, giant crossbows, tinder oil, etc. Seeing the Rong cavalry constantly climbing near the city wall under the cover of bows and arrows, he was anxious and his brain was running quickly, thinking about strategies to break the enemy.

"Sir Sergeant, they are coming up!" Someone shouted to remind Li Qing.

With the help of the shield, Li Qing glanced downward. Sure enough, hundreds of Rong tribes' climbing city were less than a few meters away from them, and they could jump onto the city wall with a few breaths. By then, it would be a close battle. Only more than a thousand Nanchuan soldiers guarding the West City could not fight the other party at all.

"The stinger soldier takes three steps back, the sword and axe warrior stands behind the stinger soldier, the stinger soldier covers and shoots freely, and defends the battlements!" Li Qing was wise in a hurry and immediately shouted the order.

The Nanchuan soldiers, who were originally mixed together, immediately stood in a clear position. The spear gun soldier held the spear tightly and left the battlement and took three steps back, leaving a gap.

The sword and axe warriors stood densely behind the sword and gun soldiers. If the Rong cavalry who jumped onto the city wall avoided the assassination of the sword and gun soldiers, then their sword and axe warriors would have to deal with the close combat. The bow and arrow soldiers were also staring at the battlements with nervous expressions and ready to shoot at any time.

Hearing a loud shout, a rough big hand suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlement, and then a fierce figure jumped up from the steep city wall with the support of his arm, trying to jump onto the city wall horse path.

The two Nanchuan archers who were aiming closely at the battlements released the bowstring without hesitation. With the tremolo of the bowstring, the sharp arrows penetrated into the body of the Rong soldiers with lightning speed, and the Rong soldiers paused in the air.

Then he fell from mid-air and hit the edge of the battlements, then slid down the battlements and fell down the wall. Then he heard a dull roar from below the wall, and someone screamed, and it was obvious that someone was hit by a dead person who fell from the sky.

More and more Rong soldiers jumped onto the battlements with ropes, but most of them were shot by arrows before they could stand firm, and then rolled down to the city. Some experienced Rong soldiers did not stop on the battlements, and jumped onto the horse road in the city wall after a tumbling.

The Rong soldiers who fell on the horse road subconsciously waved the saberatta in their hands, trying to eliminate the surrounding defenders, but their saberatta was whistling, but they slashed in the air. Because there were no Nanchuan soldiers stopping within a few steps around the battlements, the Rong soldiers' idea of ​​creating chaos was dashed.

But soon the face of the Rong soldiers changed. A few steps away, several sharp spears had already pierced at him. The angle of the spears was tricky, some stabbed the chest, some stabbed the thigh, and some stabbed the throat. Almost in an instant, the Rong soldiers were stabbed through the body by the spears.

The stinging and pulling out the gun warriors were as familiar as they were flowing. The fierce Rong soldiers were stabbed into several blood holes without even reacting. Then they fell to the ground unwillingly and turned into a cold corpse.

Some Rong cavalry also responded quickly. When they saw the stabbing gun that was poked, they hurriedly blocked it with the slashing sword in their hands and continued to rush forward, trying to kill these stabbing gun soldiers in melee battles. After all, in melee battles, short weapons have an advantage.

But soon the Rong soldiers who had these ideas were lost. The Nanchuan sword and axe soldiers who had been guarding the spearmen immediately stepped forward and met them.

Seeing that they could not get any advantage in close combat, the Rong soldiers immediately retreated. They turned around and ran towards the battlements, preparing to slide down the wall along the rope to escape to death. However, the soldiers of the sting guns were not vegetarians. They stepped forward in front of the mountain, and the sting guns had already penetrated the body of the Rong soldiers from behind.

If there is a spear-gun that cannot be reached, the crossbowmen will solve it. The simple three-layer defense system allows the Rong soldiers who attack the city wall to be the root of the Rong clan who is attacking the city wall. [31 Novel Network] This is untenable. If you don’t attack forward, you will be shot by the opponent’s bow and arrow. If you go forward, you will have to break through the double-layer security of the spear-gun and sword-axe soldiers. However, if you retreat, you will still be hit and fall into a dilemma.

Seeing the Rong soldiers leaping into the city wall one by one, screams kept coming from the city wall. Wu Shu, the leader of the Rong tribe who was watching the battle under the city, showed a smile on his face, "Who said that the Nanchuan Army is powerful and elite? This is simply a mob, and he didn't even hold on for half an hour."

Wu Shu happily imagined that after breaking the city, he should catch a few beautiful little ladies. Although the grassland under the control of the Rong tribe is vast, it is a real bitter and cold place. It is only comfortable in a short summer every year. When a blizzard falls in winter, it is enough to destroy many large tribes with tens of thousands of people.

Wushu comes from a large tribe with a population of more than 100,000. His 10,000 team is also a warrior in his own tribe. This time, the Rong clan followed the Khan Khan to fight against the dynasty, and now he has fallen in love with the wealth here.

He was a little overjoyed. His dream was to turn all the fertile land here into their grassland for herding horses, and all the dynasties turned into their slaves, and then find a few beautiful dynasty women to enjoy the comfortable life of the nobles.

Wu Shu thought about it and couldn't help but smile on his face. He listened to the screams coming from the city wall and raised his head again, but his brow suddenly frowned. It is said that hundreds of Rong warriors had already stepped onto the city wall, but the black battle flag in Nanchuan was still flying, which made him feel very upset.

"Tell the warriors, cut off the Nanchuan battle flag and replace it with the wolf flag of our Rong clan." Wu Shu gave instructions to the thousand people beside him.

A thousand men rode their horses towards Qinghe City. Wu Shu didn't know at this moment that his so-called warriors were now slaughtering on the horse road that he could not see. The corpses were covered with the city wall, and the blood dyed the horse road blood red.

Because the rope support capacity is limited, we can only wait for a group of people who jumped into the city wall to continue climbing, resulting in the number of Rong soldiers climbing the city at every time, which provides the Nanchuan soldiers with loopholes that can be gradually broken.

In addition, Li Qing pursued the idea of ​​putting in and fighting, because of the blind spots of the perspective, the people under the city could not see the massacre on the city walls and horse roads. They just saw their own people constantly attacking and not being driven out according to inertial thinking. However, they did not know that all the people who entered were dead and naturally could not come out.

Li Qing's three-layer defense system made the Rong soldiers killed one by one. The spears in the Nanchuan soldiers' hands were dyed blood red, and they kept stabbing, and then the Rong soldiers who jumped in were kept being killed. (To be continued)
