Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 98 98. The arrow rain is coming! Li Shimin's on-the-spot command!

We will do whatever the military doctor tells us!

This is the only thing she can do in Shanzhou City.

On the city wall!

On the watchtower on the third floor, an observer stood on the city wall. After seeing the enemy's movements clearly, he reported to Li Shimin.

"The enemy is already eight hundred steps away!"

Li Shimin frowned, and Jiang Chen's battle plan for them immediately appeared in his mind.

"If the enemy uses an arrow formation, you can first use intercepting giant arrows to block the opponent's arrow rain, and then use arrows to counterattack."

"At the same time, we must also be prepared to kill the enemy without leaving ashes before they enter the attack range."

"The specific combat equipment list is as follows."

"..."

"..."

"The specific distance and specific time are decided by the commander himself."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, he just felt that Jiang Chen had mastered the essence of commander-in-chief.

The marshal only needs to give him a way, and the generals can refine it on their own, as long as they can complete the combat expectations they have issued.

Li Shimin's eyes were burning and his heart was full of fighting spirit. He finally returned to the position he dreamed of!

"Open the city gate!"

"Contradiction Fire Barrier Formation, two hundred steps, form the formation!"

Crunch - creak -

The three city gates were opened wide, and 5,000 elite soldiers rushed out from each city gate. At the front were 2,000 square shield soldiers, behind were 2,000 spearmen, and at the end were 1,000 archers.

Each of these archers carries a long bow on his back, an arrow pot on his right hand, and a Tang Dao hanging on his left waist.

Two thousand shield soldiers rushed out from the three city gates, quickly ran two hundred steps outside the city wall, and then quickly dispersed.

Clang!

The sound of a shield hitting the ground was heard.

The shields are close to each other, with no gap between them!

The three thousand shield soldiers supported the shields with their shoulders. They dived down and turned into brackets to support the shields.

Then, another 3000 shield-bearing soldiers rushed forward, stacked the shields on top of them, supported them with their shoulders in the same way, and supported them with small lunges, forming a human wall with two shields high two hundred steps away from the city wall!

Then the spearman took another step forward.

In the middle of each four shields, there is a small rectangular hole.

The spears were thrust out from the holes, and the length of each spear was about the same, about one and a half meters long.

The spear is not a gun, it is longer than the spear, about one foot long.

Even if a length of 1.5 meters is stabbed out, there is still 1.5 meters left inside.

Six thousand shield guards formed a thick city wall with double-layered giant shields!

Six thousand spearmen thrust their spears into the hollows!

In this formation, if the enemy's trapped soldiers and cavalry collide, it will be a dead end!

But Jiang Chen named this army the "Contradictory Fire Isolation Formation", which shows that blocking the enemy's collision is only secondary. The most important thing is to isolate the flames from the city gate two hundred steps away.

"Six hundred steps!"

A deep voice sounded.

The observers reported again that the enemy's position had reached 600 steps, and they were only 400 steps away from the contradictory fire formation!

Seeing this situation, Murong Zun sneered: "Jiang Chen, you won yesterday."

"Today, it's my turn to win!"

"Do you think my 60,000-strong army is used for charge?"

"You use this formation? You really underestimate me!"

On the city wall!

After Li Shimin heard the return of Six Hundred Steps, he immediately issued an order,

"Let all the archers equip me with intercepting giant arrows and be ready to launch at any time!"

"Notify all trebuchet operators and prepare to launch!"

"Yes!" Two groups of messengers finished saluting, and one group of people flew away from both sides of the city wall, shouting orders to the archers.

Another group ran to the watchtower behind the city wall and shouted orders to the stoning convoys behind them.

Soon, these two orders reached the ears of all the soldiers.

"Five hundred steps!"

At this time, the observer reported again.

brush!

At this moment, the enemy suddenly stopped five hundred steps away, which was three hundred steps away from the fire formation.

This distance is really just right!

This distance is too close for the three powerful crossbows on the city wall!

In fact, Murong Zun still can't figure out why Jiang Chen installed three powerful crossbows on the city wall.

Could it be that he, Murong Zun, was stupid enough to appear within the scope of Sangong Qiannu's design?

Jiang Chen's arrangement, in Murong Zun's opinion, was just insane!

For those archers holding horn bows, this distance is too far. Although it is still within the shooting range, it is already beyond the killing range.

At this distance, the archer's arrows are already a little drifting.

But they had longbows in hand, and the attack distance was just right, just enough to shoot the soldiers on the city wall.

It was not that the Tang Dynasty couldn't make a bow with such a long range, but the only problem was that there was a shortage of materials.

One thing is, the bow strings they use are made of beef tendon!

"Fire the arrow!"

Brush brush!

Sixty thousand longbows shot arrows at the same time!

For the soldiers of Tuyuhun, there was no point in shooting those soldiers who raised their shields. All they had to do was kill all the soldiers defending the city on the wall, and then rush in!

What happened to the human wall formed by your Shanzhou government troops?

There are only a few of you, but we have strength in numbers!

This rain of arrows is terrifying just looking at it!

However, the soldiers guarding the city were not afraid.

In fact, they don't know how effective this interception of giant arrows is.

All they knew was that they had been with Mr. Jiang for a year and knew that he would never make fun of their lives and that they completely trusted Jiang Chen's shooting weapons.

Li Shimin held a blue command flag high and stared at the opponent with stern eyes, waiting for orders to be issued at any time.

And all the crossbowmen were staring at Li Shimin.

Once he waves his flag, everyone will trigger the arrow mechanism!

Li Shimin had already seen the dense rain of arrows. The length of this rain of arrows was the same as the length of the city wall!

Densely packed and continuous.

If this wave of arrows hit the city top or the civilians behind the city wall, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if it hits the houses behind the city wall or the well-arranged defense equipment, it will cause huge casualties.

Jiang Chen's tactical outline only talked about the effect of intercepting the giant arrows, but did not say at what time the intercepting giant arrows should be launched.

The marshal gave an explanation, but how to control it depends on pre-battle command.

If the command is given for one second longer, the arrow may not be intercepted!

A command delayed by one second may greatly reduce the effectiveness of the interception!

Everything must be just right!

To do this, you must have rich battlefield command experience and sophisticated practical control!

next second!

Li Shimin's expression changed, and he waved his hand violently, waving the blue flag in his hand.

"Intercept the giant arrow and launch it!"
