Chapter 305: Air Pulling the Machine
Ye Cang City has already closed the door and beat dogs. Except for the gate leading to Zhenxian City, the other three gates have been completely blocked by the Jingyi army. An army guards a city gate. The more arrogant the Xiliang cavalry was when they rushed in, the more anxious they were now.
Chi Shutong kicked over a Xiliang cavalry riding on a horse, grabbed his mount and ordered the corner flag bearer to wave the flag flag to gather all the Xiliang troops in the city. After all, they had 30,000 cavalry, but they had lost their composure because of the Liang people's way. As long as the commander's reunification order was given, they were still a cavalry corps that could fight well.
Sure enough, in just one stick of incense, the Xiliang cavalry who were busy burning, killing and looting in the city immediately gathered behind Chi Shutong under the command of Niujiao and immediately set up a formation. The Xiliang cavalry occupied a main avenue in Yecang City, and they used this avenue as their battlefield to form a formation that was formed by Pei Zhenghao into the centipede formation.
The Xiliang cavalry made timely adjustments based on the terrain. They lined up on the avenue in a row, but at the same time, according to each extended street, they cooperated to send a team of people, just like a big tree growing branches from the side. If you look down from the air, the arrangement of such an army is really like an eight-legged centipede, lying across the body and entrenching in Yecang City.
The reason why the Xiliang army did this was to deal with the Liang Dynasty soldiers who were constantly pouring out from all directions. In order to create the illusion of emptiness in the city, the soldiers of the Jingyi army changed into the clothes of the common people and hid at home. It was not until the Xiliang army broke into the city that they were regained their identity as soldiers.
Pei Zhenghao and the Golden Armored Guards blocked the Xiliang Army's way forward; the Pumal Guards and the Rusty Guards continued to harass the enemy from the side; the Han Dao Guards and the Red Guards cut off the retreat of the Xiliang Army; the Raid Guards all went up to the roof.
Chi Shutong asked the entire vanguard team to resist the attack of the Jinjia Guards, and he retreated to the center of the army and began to retreat in the direction when they came. Even if he could not capture Ye Cangcheng, he had to bring his army back so that he could have a chance to turn around. As for the losses in this process, he could not feel sorry for the vanguard team. The vanguard team was cut off, and the small forces that extended were just sacrifices that must be made for the retreat of the army.
Pei Zhenghao saw the true intention of Chi Shutong. He looked at Xiao Yunqi beside him, and the latter said decisively: "Just like last time, no enemy who dared to break into Ye Cangcheng cannot be let go!"
Jingyi Army issued a new order of action, and the guard who had been running on the eaves received a signal. Although Lu Xiang ran fast enough, he paid attention to the movement of the general's mansion throughout the whole process. After the battle outside the city ended, they immediately began to execute new orders, but the time between them was really too short and they had not yet.
If you are fully in place, the military order has been issued.
"Duan Lang!" Lu Xiang could only shout to Duan Lang, who was not far from him.
Duan Lang understood Lu Xiang's intention, and now his pace became even more rapid. After jumping over a bungalow, he was the first person among the guards to meet the Xiliang army. As long as he crossed this not-so-wide street, there were still continuous bungalows on the other side. Duan Lang finally helped out for a while and flew in the air as he approached the end. It was finally time to show his skills!
Duan Lang suddenly pulled a lead on his waist. Something that had been tied to his waist like a belt suddenly appeared. From these holes, short, sharp and thin crossbows were sprayed out, and they shot into the Xiliang army below with a strong impact. These short crossbows were short and concise, and were full of force. Once they pierced into the human body, even if they were not directly penetrated, they would pierce into the body and make it difficult to remove them.
This explains why the guards are slow to move. After the battle at the city gate, they must enter the armory in the shortest time to complete the assembly of their personal weapons. That is, the crossbow seat, which is like a belt, is made of cowhide. The special short crossbow is twisted to the tightest position through the silver wire, and then tied it to their waists. A piece of silver wire is left below the navel for people to pull. Once the silver wire is pulled out, the short crossbows that were previously twisted will immediately shoot out from the corresponding holes like a spring. The power of the short crossbow depends on the strength of the silver wire twist. The tighter the twist, the greater the force of the popping out and the greater the lethality.
After completing the jump, Duan Lang landed on the eaves opposite. His legs were weak and he almost fell down. The Xiliang army was below. Once it fell down, it would immediately become a meat paste. Duan Lang didn't have the courage to look back. His heart was beating very fast. This run had exhausted his strength and he had to stop and take a breath, otherwise he would really not have the strength to fight again.
Since Duan Lang took the lead, more soldiers of the steer guards jumped everywhere and shot short crossbows, causing a considerable blow to the Xiliang army. The first time was effective. When the same trick was used again, the Xiliang army was also ready to counterattack. When more and more soldiers of the steer guards jumped into the air to shoot short crossbows, spears from the ground began to shoot into the air, and spears directly stabbed into the soldiers with a whistling sound.
If he completes his mission, he can still die with peace of mind. Those soldiers who were shot down by long guns before he has time to pull the lead are really worthless. Duan Lang watched his subordinates die in battle, and his heart burned again.
Lu Xiang and the soldiers behind him were all in their positions. While the Western Liang army focused on the robes that had risen in the air, he waved his arms and the soldiers set off crossbows, which was one of the few armories.
The ultimate weapon in the game will not be used until it is absolutely necessary.
The guards prepared a one-line crossbow for the Xiliang army, which required three people to build together before they could be used. In a group of three, they took out a section of crossbows they carried, and then used mortise and tenon structure to connect the three sections into a whole. This crossbow, which is three-person wide, can be equipped with six feather arrows at the same time, and the replacement time is greatly shortened. After completing the first wave of shooting, the two can immediately perform the second wave of arrows, greatly compressing the original time difference, and making the enemy's attack more powerful.
