Chapter 822 Yingbu placed the city-breaking crossbow and the city-breaking crossbow at the head of the city, the purpose was to deal with the enemy's stone-throwing machine, but the range of the heavy stone-throwing machine was far beyond Yingbu's expectations, and the range of the army-breaking crossbow and city-breaking crossbow could not reach two miles away.
The Wind Army poured into the city with the enemy's stone bullets, stood in line, and then fired a salvo at the enemy troops outside the city. airplanes I saw a black cloud rising from the head of Baguan City, making a sharp whistle, drawing an arc in the air, and then falling towards the camp of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition armies.
When the arrow array approached, it was as dense as raindrops, and in an instant, the array of the two armies of Sichuan and Zhen resounded with the sound of arrows breaking through the armor.
After the rain of arrows poured out, a row of wide and long gaps appeared in the originally neat array, and in this clearing, arrows were all over the ground, corpses were stacked, people were pressed on the arrows, and the arrows covered the people.
This is just the beginning, just after the previous round of arrows, the next round of arrows of the wind army followed, smashing into the crowd, the dense carvings, so that the people in it instantly turned into hedgehogs.
The generals of the second army of Chuan Zhen shouted one after another: "Advance and continue to move forward to fill the front position, and all of them will take the shield."
The soldiers of the two armies, under the command of their respective generals, raised their shields one after another and continued to advance.
The Sichuan army is all steel helmets and steel armor, and the shield is also made of steel.
The Zhenjun was made of leather armor, and the shield was not made of pure steel, but was wrapped in a layer of iron on the basis of the wooden shield.
The materials in Zhenguo are very scarce, there is not so much steel, and they can't afford to build a shield of pure steel, and second, Zhenjun likes to fight in close combat, and they are light and flexible with wooden shields, and they are good at charging.
When the arrow array of the wind army came, the situation of the two armies was also completely different, the arrow array was shot in the camp of the Sichuan army, clanging, and the eagle feathers rebounded to the ground, and when they were shot into the camp of the Zhen army, the sound of fluttering was connected, and most of the arrows were nailed to the shield.
After a few rounds of arrows, the Sichuan army camp was like a mirror, while the Zhen army camp was like a huge hedgehog.
Of course, no matter how dense the shield array is, no matter how perfect it is, it is impossible to be impermeable, under such a dense rain of arrows from the wind army, there are screams from time to time in the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition army, and the soldiers who were knocked down by the arrows one after another.
At the head of the city, Zuo Shuang stared at the advance of the enemy camp, and was silently calculating in his heart, and when the enemy army was about to reach nearly eighty zhang, he waved his arm forward violently and shouted: "Break the army crossbow, break the city crossbow together" As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the Wind Army made the undamaged army-breaking crossbows and city-breaking crossbows, aimed at the enemy's shield array, and then fired them in unison.
The crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow and the army-breaking crossbow are too powerful, and they can't be stopped by manpower at all.
The crossbow arrows were shot into the shield array, and the soldiers who bore the brunt of the crossbow were all shattered, because the crossbow arrows were stabbed down obliquely, after shooting through one person, the strength did not decrease at all, and they shot through the second and third people, and when the crossbow arrows were deeply nailed to the ground, two corpses were also strung on it.
Seeing that there was a gap in the shield array, the soldiers on the left and right shouted in unison: "The rear team fills" Before they could finish speaking, countless arrows had fallen from the sky, and the soldiers behind the blank block were full of carved feathers in their chests, screaming and falling on their backs, this time, the gap was even bigger, and more soldiers fell to the ground in the continuous rain of arrows, and never got up again.
By the time the people finally filled the gap, dozens of soldiers had been shot, but the shield array that had just been propped up had to withstand the impact of the next wave of crossbow arrows.
This is just the tip of the second army of Chuanzhen, a large number of crossbow arrows mixed with the rain of arrows shot into the crowd, causing screams everywhere, wailing continuously, the shield arrays of the two armies are scattered and replenished, supplemented and scattered, and the camp began to be confused.
The generals of each regiment rode their horses back and forth through the crowd, constantly shouting loudly to stabilize the soldiers under their command.
In the Sichuan army, the commander of the regiment at the top of the top was hoarse, his body was covered with white spirit armor, but his eyes turned blood-red because of congestion, he swung his knife forward again and again in the crowd, and ordered the soldiers below to push forward, advance and advance.
But his shouting soon stopped abruptly, it turned out that a crossbow arrow that suddenly flew over hit his chest, and the strong force directly shattered his spiritual armor, penetrating his chest, and even the war horse he stepped on was not spared, and was shot through by the crossbow arrows, poor this corps commander, who did not even have the opportunity to fight face to face with the enemy, was nailed to the ground alive with men and horses, until death, and the corpses of people and horses were standing.
If the commander of the corps dies, the commander of the first formation will take command, and if he dies again, he will be replaced by the commander of the second formation, and so on, this is the rule of the Sichuan army, and the corps will not be chaotic due to the lack of a leader.
Seeing the corpse of the corps commander nailed to the ground, the nearby soldiers immediately put down their shields and went up to take the corpse, but they went up quickly and fell quickly, under the arrow array of the wind army, putting down the life-saving shield was equivalent to giving up their lives. went up to a group of soldiers and was shot down by a group of soldiers, but the Sichuan army was one after another, and people rushed up regardless of it, even if they lost their surnames, they had to take the corpse and save the whole body of their corps commander.
It took a lot of effort for the Sichuan army to pull the crossbow arrows out of the ground, and the corpse of the corps commander was finally carried down, but in just such a short time, the Sichuan army paid the lives of hundreds of people.
War is tragic for both the enemy and us, requiring countless soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice, but the ultimate beneficiary is often only one person or a group.
Under the almost frantic arrow fire of the wind army, the Zhen army unfolded its unique strong combat effectiveness, no matter how fierce the counterattack in the direction of the Baguan was, the advance of the Zhen army's camp was not slow, but faster and faster.
The more comrades around them died, the more fierce the forward rush of the soldiers of the Zhen army, and the experience of many years of fighting told them that in the fierce battlefield, charging and killing the enemy was the only way to live, as for the escape from the battle, there were never these four words in the dictionary of the Zhen army.
At this time, the obvious gap can be seen on the battlefield, when the Zhen army has entered the Baguan Pass 30 zhang, and the Sichuan army is still 50 zhang away Thirty zhang, has entered the range of the Zhen army.
The archers of the Zhen army who rushed forward threw away their shields, took off their bows and arrows, and fired back at the city as they ran.
Without the protection of a shield, they will be shot by the Wind Army, but their return shot can also kill the Wind Army, and in a tough battle, the attacking side can exchange one life for one life to count it as worthwhile.
For the ferocity of the Zhen army, Tang Yin and many wind generals naturally thought of the barbarian army.
The Zhen army is indeed very similar to the Besa army, the whole army is like a beast, once the charge is launched, the whole army becomes a madman, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, the soldiers of the Zhen army can not hesitate to break up and jump in.
What makes them more powerful than the Besa Army is that they maintain the whole camp to charge, rather than rushing forward like the Besa Army.
At this time, the wind generals were secretly calculating in their hearts that if they had a head-to-head confrontation with the Zhen army, the only legions they could compete with were the Plains Army and the Sanshui Army.
The charge of the Zhen army is to run all the way, die all the way, the soldiers in front fall to the ground, and the soldiers in the back step on the bodies of their comrades and continue to rush forward, no one cares about the wounded, and no one even takes a second look, they only have the enemy in front of them.
The Zhen army camp advanced quickly, but there were many corpses left, where they passed, the corpses left behind were densely packed, stacked and stacked, and the Sichuan army was not, although the casualties of the Sichuan army were not necessarily much less than those of the Zhen army, but it was rare to see the corpses of the Sichuan people exposed on the battlefield, and there were people killed in battle, and the corps that followed in the rear would divide the manpower to hand over the corpses and wounded to the logistics team, and then carry them off the battlefield.
At that time, the country of Sichuan respected the soldiers the most.
In the culture of Sichuan, any soldier who died in battle belongs to the sacrifice of his life for the country, died for the country, even the lowest soldiers, their names will be recorded one by one after death, and carved on the tablet, maybe no one will remember them, maybe the younger generations will not check their names one by one, but this is the minimum respect for those fallen soldiers.
In the statistics of Sichuan casualties, there is never such an vague statement as tens of thousands, thousands, or hundreds, and some are detailed data accurate to single digits.
In this regard, no country can compare to the country of Sichuan.
No matter when, no matter how large the population, people are the most important thing after all, respect for people, but also respect for the country and the nation.
Straight to the point.
The Zhen army was the first to rush to the bottom of the city, and the ladder hit the city wall, with a bang, and then, the ladder was raised high, and the soldiers of Zhen swarmed up, and the heavy wheezing sound matched their hideous expressions, like a group of wild people.
The left pair of hands pulled out the sword, on the one hand, let people continue to release arrows, and on the other hand, let people smash down the rolling wood and stones, at the same time, Tang Yin on the tower of the city gate said to the herald beside him: "Let Yingbu lead the defenders of the Baguan Pass to resist the enemy" "It's the king," the herald agreed, and quickly ran to the other side of the gatehouse, waving the command flag to the wind soldiers in the city.

After looking at the Yingbu in the crowd, he straightened his waist and shouted to the surrounding soldiers of the Baguan defenders: "Brothers, now it's our turn to go into battle, give me guys, follow me to the city to kill the enemy."
"Kill" Yingbu served as the overlord for nearly ten years, and his prestige was so high that no one could match him, and he responded to every call and led his army to rush to the city wall.
With the Baguan defenders into battle, the Western Frontier Army led by Zuo Shuang was gradually replaced on the battlefield, and so the whole army retreated into the city, Zuo Shuang made a count, just now in the battle, their own casualties have been close to 5,000 people, most of them were killed and wounded by the stone bullets, and the other were killed and wounded by the return fire of the Zhen army.
After Zuo Shuang counted all the casualties, he immediately reported it to Tang Yin.
On the other side, Yingbu led tens of thousands of defenders of the pass and had a fierce confrontation with the Zhen army that attacked the pass
