Chapter 577 Human Shield
The rumbling sound became louder and the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer. Soon, 30,000 elite Dongli Kingdoms came one mile away from Jiling City before pausing.
Seeing the 30,000 elite troops of Dongli Kingdom, Kong De's brows frowned.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, Xiahou Ruihua seemed to have not taken Ji Lingcheng seriously at all. Even when the troops were deployed, there was no concealment. Of course, on the one hand, it was also to shock Ji Lingcheng.
A second-grade seal master, six fifth-grade seal master.
Without mentioning the 30,000 elite soldiers and neglecting the huge siege equipment, just looking at the sealers around Xiahou Ruihua, Kong De couldn't help but smile bitterly. These sealers alone were enough to destroy a small Ji Ling City.
In contrast, there is only one sealer in his team, which is Ning Fengzi, the guest minister of Princess Yiyang. After continuous battles, Ning Fengzi was just a sixth-rank sealer. After the battle began, Ning Fengzi himself might not be able to protect, let alone fight against these sealers in Dongli Kingdom.
"Listen to the guards of Jiling City, there are no defenders in the entire territory of Prince Yong. General Xiahou ordered you to open the city gate immediately and welcome us into the city. If we resist stubbornly, we will kill them all." After the battle formations were arranged, the deterrent effect also played. A war horse ran quickly to the city gate and shouted loudly.
"Optimize ten crossbows at the place where my husband disappeared. I don't want him to be trapped in a siege just after he came back, and kill me the one who called out." Before Kong De could give the order, Zixiang had already given the order first.
Although the right to command in the battle is in the hands of Kong De, no one does not fail to execute Zixiang's words.
Immediately, ten crossbows gathered around Zixiang, and one outside was operated by Man'er, and a crossbow arrow shot out quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the soldiers who came to pass the message were penetrated.
"Madam, it's time for the two armies to fight and not kill them. It's a bit inappropriate for you to do this!" Seeing the envoy who persuaded surrender was killed, Kong De immediately frowned.
"The ones who dare to invade Ji Ling City are all enemies. No matter who they are, I will kill them." Zixiang's tone still had no feelings, as if everything was like this.
When the envoy was killed, Xiahou Ruihua was immediately angry. With a wave of his hand, the team that had already been neatly completed immediately rushed towards Ji Lingcheng.
Unlike other towns, in Jiling City, there is no news from Dongli Kingdom. However, facing such a small town, Xiahou Ruihua didn't care at all. With 30,000 elite soldiers and complete siege equipment, even a first-class town cannot last for a long time, let alone a small third-class town in Jiling City.
Without encirclement, there was no need to encircle, Xiahou Ruihua led all the soldiers to rush straight towards the frontal city gate.
"The enemy is arrogant and impetuous, and he doesn't encircle first, and uses attacks from other places to restrain him. He obviously underestimated us. Everyone cheered me up. Since we can also concentrate our troops together, it will be easier to defend." Kong De is worthy of being a well-known general of the Dayun Dynasty. As soon as the team of Dongli Country moved, he could see its weakness at a glance.
"The first layer of shield hand defense, the second layer of archers are ready, the knife and axeman and the spearman are ready to attack at any time." Staring at the soldiers rushing towards him in neat steps, Kong De completely calmed down at this time and commanded the setting of defense lines.
Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters... As the Dongli Army was getting closer, the shield at the forefront of the battle formation also stood up layer by layer.
With the sound of a bowstring, instantly, the bows and arrows in the sky shot towards the city wall like locusts. At the same time, the catapult cart roared angrily, and huge stone balls followed the bows and arrows and bombarded densely.
Shield is held high!
This is the only way to deal with bows and arrows. Without Kong De's instructions, the soldiers on the city wall immediately raised their shields high to block the bows and arrows like drizzle.
clang clang!
A crisp sound kept ringing. Although the bow and arrow could not be blocked all, most of them were blocked by shields, just like raindrops hitting the roof, making a dense and dense sound.
Kong De couldn't help but sigh at this time and closed his eyes slightly.
Bows and arrows are not scary, and catapults are not scary either, but what is scary is that the two are combined. The first wave of attacks of Toray's army combined the two well, which can fully demonstrate the excellent training qualities of its soldiers.
After the bow and arrow blocked, the huge stone ball arrived immediately, giving these shield players no time to avoid them.
The huge stone ball fell down, and it was not a small shield that could resist it. In an instant, wood chips flew everywhere, blood splattered everywhere, and hundreds of shields were smashed in an instant, and even hundreds of soldiers were not spared.
The attack was not over yet. With a roar, the soldier Tori, who was originally holding a shield, suddenly went crazy, dropped the shield in his hand, raised the ladder to climb the city, and howled excitedly and rushed towards the city wall.
At this moment, although the catapult was unable to attack in the second round due to accuracy, the bow and arrow attacked again like locusts.
The city ladder was laid on the city wall, and the Dongli soldiers climbed up quickly. If the ladder was not overturned, the Dongli soldiers would be able to occupy the city wall soon. If they poked their heads out, the bow and arrow had already attacked, and the soldiers without shields had no way to resist.
Hiding in the city tower, Kong De had no choice but to do anything. The lack of weapons and the low quality of his soldiers made all his methods unable to be implemented.
But at this moment, a team of captains suddenly jumped out and roared: "Brothers, use our bodies to block the bow and arrow, and kill these bastards who invade their homes for me."
Amid the roar, a team of captains jumped high, and were immediately shot by more than twenty bows and arrows, killing them instantly.
At the moment of life and death, the soldiers of the people had no choice. A soldier rushed out and blocked the bow and arrow with his body. Then they truly became human shields, leaving a chance to survive for the remaining soldiers.
"Kill! Avenge your brothers." In an instant, an angry roar spread throughout the city wall. Holding his brother's body blocking arrows, the remaining soldiers of the people started to frantically. While pushing to the city ladder, they fell down like stones, rolling woods, and raindrops.
boom!
With a loud bang, the city gate suddenly opened, holding various weapons, these civilian soldiers rushed out without fear of death, and in the crowd, women could be seen from time to time.
Chapter completed!
