Chapter 198 Fierce Siege Battle

Outside Chuima City, the Tianshi Army camp stretches for more than ten miles. High walls have been built around it and Juma has been erected.

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

Thousands of Tianshi troops poured out from the camps everywhere, forming black streams. Under the command of generals at all levels, they walked out of the camp in an orderly manner.

There were [-] troops in the battle this time. The army was vast and vast, and the sound of trumpets and drums kept coming and going.

In the past few days, the Tianshi Army has figured out the number of troops in the city, their deployment, and the approximate location of the camps.

The number of men and horses in the city who can actually fight in armor, including the Black Leopard Cavalry, does not exceed [-].

Because the total number of troops in the Yuzhou Army was only over [-], it was impossible for Liang Song to devote all his troops to Chuima City, because once Shiling County fell, it would be useless for him to guard Chuima City.

Therefore, Shiling County must be heavily defended. In addition, although Yang Minggui's Tianshi Army encountered an ambush, it was impossible not to cause the slightest damage to the Yuzhou Army. There were also the number of enemies killed by Chen Mo, and the scouts found out According to various analyzes such as the data, the real army in the city does not exceed [-].

In the case of civilians, if we count five thousand, it is only twenty-five thousand.

And he currently brings more than [-] troops, so he can try to attack the city.

(There are [-] troops stationed in Tianshui Town, and nearly [-] troops were lost before.)

As for the so-called ten to encircle, there are five to attack and double to fight.

Well, Lu Yonggang was already prepared to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. He must win the Falling Horse City.

Lu Yonggang divided the army into four formations, and Song Niu still led the troops as the vanguard. The so-called assault formed the front formation.

The two formations on the left and right were led by Huang Da and Li Da respectively, each with [-] troops to support the central army.

Chen Mo is the assistant and is ready to listen to Lu Yonggang's leadership at any time.

Lu Yonggang personally took part in the formation of the Chinese Army, which gathered the most elite troops from the four armies.

The four formations are divided into battalions, and each battalion is divided into divisions, which are layer upon layer and airtight.

Chen Mo was in the crowd and was inconspicuous. He got into the car so that he could see the scale of the formation with his own eyes.

He saw the Tianshi Army setting up a military formation three miles before the horse fell. Huge chariots were pushed out one after another. Due to the flat terrain, the entire battlefield could only be observed from above the chariots in order to observe the opponent's movements in a timely manner. and transfer.

Several commanding oars were also quickly erected, also called watchtowers. War drums were erected on some of the oars. Strong soldiers waved drumsticks and beat the war drums. The thick drum sound was accompanied by the desolate horn sound. Spread to all directions.

Lu Yonggang stood on the oars of the Chinese army, surrounded by clouds of generals and soldiers.

In a short while, the Tianshi army formed its formation, and the huge military formation was like fish scales, lying in front of Chuima City.

At this time, I saw the big flag waving on the high platform of the Central Army of the Heavenly Master Army, and then countless phalanxes all around responded to the flag, a huge black tide boiled, and loud shouts rang out.

"This is the fish scale formation." Among Chen Mo's three guards, they also set up oars. The ugly Xia Zhining stood behind him and recognized it after taking a look at the battle formation set up by the Tianshi Army.

"Do you know Bu?" Chen Mo had seen the fish scale array in the book, but there was no detailed explanation and only a few words mentioned about it.

"Of course." Xia Zhining said with a hint of complacency in her words, "The main force of the fish scale formation is distributed in the center. The other places are like several scales, divided into very small square formations, arranged in the order of stairs. The slightly concave front end belongs to the offensive position, and the concentrated troops can launch a fierce attack on the enemy's center."

"Which one is more powerful, the Yanyue Formation or the Fish Scale Formation?"

"This depends on the specific application. A powerful commander can arrange corresponding battle formations according to various complex situations. However, the Yanyue Formation is more practical and suitable for various asymmetric formations. Weaknesses of the Fish Scale Formation At the rear of the entire formation, but this is a siege battle, so don’t worry about the rear." Xia Zhining talked eloquently.

While he was talking, the formation had finished responding to the flag, and the sound of the drums stopped. In the Tianshi army, countless soldiers beat the drums with their swords and touched the ground with their spears and shouted.

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

……

On top of the city wall of Falling Horse City.

"Sir, the bandits have formed their formation and are about to start attacking." Shi Meng looked into the distance and secretly clenched his fists.

"Did you see the leader of the thieves who killed General Xu?" Liang Song nodded and asked the soldiers next to him who were once Xu Jie's subordinates.

The soldier shook his head: "Sir, there are too many people to see clearly."

Liang Song turned around and clapped his hands. Many civilians brought up jars of fine wine from the city tower and distributed them to the soldiers.

Liang Song stood in front of everyone, held up his wine bowl, and said, "If we win this battle, I will go to Tianchuan to ask for your merits in front of His Majesty.

The Song army is mighty! "

After saying that, he drank all the wine in the bowl and smashed the bowl on the ground.

"The Song army is mighty!"

"The Song army is mighty!"

"The Song army is mighty!"

The whole city was filled with mighty sounds one after another.

Liang Song put his hands behind the battlements, leaned forward, and said, "Come on."

……

woo woo woo...

On each oar, a melodious and long-lasting horn sound sounded.

"dong dong dong"

Among the central army, the sound of thick war drums roared over the field one after another.

Lu Yonggang pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted: "Attack the city!"

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

The sound of the guard camp under the oars was heard, and the surrounding flags were dancing. In the front army, Song Niu heard the order and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"

The black tide surged towards Falling Horse City.

"Prepare the catapult."

"Ready."

"Let go." Lu Yonggang saw that the former army had entered within [-] steps of Chuima City and immediately ordered the release.

"Swish"

More than ten catapults moved in response, throwing rocks larger than human heads and hitting the city of Chuima, covering the approach of the front army.

"bang bang bang"

The stone bullets hit the city wall, making holes one after another. The soldiers of the Yuzhou Army who were hit died suddenly on the spot.

A stone bullet was shot diagonally towards Liang Song, but when it was still half a foot away from Liang Song, it was blown to pieces by a golden innate spiritual energy.

"It's not rude to come and go."

"put."

Liang Song waved his hand.

There are also catapults in the city.

Several bullets were thrown out of the city and hit the fields outside the city. Those who were unfortunate enough to be hit fell to the ground and vomited blood.

Before they even got close to Chuima City, dozens of people from the front line of the Tianshi Army died.

Wait for the front army to approach Chuima City two hundred steps away.

"Let go." Qin Lang ordered.

Xuan Baoqiu pulled the trigger of the divine arm crossbow, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out from the city wall. In just one round of arrow rain, nearly a hundred days of the army were killed.

At this time, the front troops of the Tianshi Army were less than a hundred steps away from Chuima City, and those who could run fast had already built a bamboo ladder bridge on the moat.

"Let go." Shi Meng yelled.

Thousands of archers hiding behind the battlements stood up, bent their bows and nocked arrows, loosened their fingers, and the arrows flew out.

"Raise your shield." Song Niu hid behind the chariot and quickly waved the flag in his hand when he saw this. Countless generals and commanders in front shouted at the same time: "Raise your shield."

Countless soldiers of the front army raised their big shields and moved forward slowly. A large number of feather arrows from the Yuzhou army shot out. Through the big shields, armor leaves shot into the bodies of the Tianshi soldiers, and the momentum of the charge also followed. pause.

However, for the front troops of the Tianshi Army, which numbered nearly [-], there was not much of a stir.

Countless soldiers passed through the bamboo ladder bridge, crossed the moat, and came under the city wall.

The soldiers at the rear brought up the extended ladder and put it on the city wall.

"Come on, the first step is now."

Someone yelled and climbed up the ladder.

"dong dong dong"

On the city wall, the sound of war drums rang loudly. The soldiers who captured the city and the assisting civilians held the wooden logs and rolling stones that had been prepared and smashed them down on the soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

Of course, there are Tianshi troops below to cover the soldiers climbing the ladder, but the defenders are hiding behind the battlements, so the effect is not particularly great.

Just as a Celestial Master soldier was about to climb up the city wall, a hammer hit him on the head. His head was broken and bleeding, and he fell straight backwards. Several Celestial Master soldiers on the ladder were also knocked down. They were brought down together, and then the entire ladder was pushed down by the defenders.

The front army led by Song Niu was decreasing little by little.

"No retreat."

Under the city wall, Song Niu grabbed a Tianshi Army soldier who was trying to flee backwards. He raised his knife and dropped it. A head shot up into the sky, and the soldier fell to the ground.

Song Niu held a knife in one hand and a head in the other. His face was splashed with the blood of some soldiers, making him look ferocious and terrifying. He said in a hateful voice: "Continue with me."

"Whoosh!"

A fierce sound broke through the air, and a crossbow arrow fired from a bed crossbow came quickly, piercing the wooden baffle in front of Song Niu. Finally, it was blocked by the innate spiritual energy around Song Niu, and the kiss on Song Niu's body was blocked. Upon seeing this, the soldiers quickly raised their shields and surrounded Song Niu behind him.

Song Niu retreated to the nest car behind.

But others were not so lucky. A ten-man captain of the Heavenly Master Army and the two soldiers behind him were pierced into gourds by spears.

Xia Zhining was shocked by the scene that happened in the distance. It was too tragic.

People fell one by one.

"Much stronger than Yuan Youchun's army." Chen Mo muttered in his heart and looked at the oar where Lu Yonggang was standing.

Lu Yonggang was unmoved and even waved the command flag in his hand.

The order flags were flying, and the sentry flags carrying the military orders flew out of the oars and headed towards Huang Da's army.

Soon, Huang Da led nearly ten thousand Tianshi troops to reinforce Song Niu and brought siege vehicles.

A true commander is the one who commands the entire army, not the one who leads the charge.

The front army received reinforcements, and a steady stream of Tianshi soldiers climbed up the ladder. Some even climbed onto the city wall one after another, but they were quickly killed by the defenders of the city wall.

"dong dong dong"

The central army of the Tianshi Army once again sounded the sound of strong drums, one after another, which was to boost the morale of the soldiers in front.

"Duk, Tuk, Tuk"

The sound of arrows hitting shields was heard endlessly. The Black Leopard Cavalry on the city wall used its divine arm crossbow to shoot at the soldiers of the Heavenly Master pushing the attacking city car.

Screams came from all directions, dying cries, screams of being hit by arrows, and panicked shouts, filling the entire battlefield.

"You can't retreat, come on." Huang Da shouted.
