Qingzhou Army Battalion, above Diao Dou, looking at the ranks of Yuan Jun neatly arrayed in front of the camp, after roughly counting the number of Yuan Army, Tai Shi Ci's eyes became more and more solemn, even after a few days of study, he had already realized the subtlety of the Eight Golden Lock Array, but at this moment, in the face of Yuan Jun who was three times his own, Tai Shi Ci still did not have much confidence in his heart.
After all, no matter how exquisite the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is, it can't change the weakness of their troops, and in the case of little difference in the quality of the individual soldiers on both sides, relying on the formation to win more with less, that kind of thing only happens in legends.
After all, this is not a defensive battle, there is no moat, and there is no advantage of tall and strong walls, and it is difficult to resist three times the strength of oneself with weak forces and a formation that cannot change formations.
But the matter has come to this, no matter how difficult it is, this Qingzhou camp must also be defended, the Yuan army has captured a lot of cities, if even this place is lost, then next, there is no danger to defend, a month's time, now it is only a third of the past, if it is lost here, then Liu Xie's plan is impossible to talk about.
"Woo woo woo woo" The melodious sound of the horn accompanied by the rumbling war drums sounded from all directions, and a team of Yuan soldiers with shields on their shoulders began to move slowly, the biggest reliance in front of them is the narrow territory here, and the other party cannot put nearly 40,000 troops on the battlefield at one time.
"Sir, there seems to be something wrong with the other party's barracks."
Under the banner of the Chinese army, Zhang He waved the order, but his eyes fell on the other party's camp, frowning and looking at Xu Yu on the side.
"There's something wrong."
Xu You nodded, but he didn't see much, after all, looking at the plane, he could only see that there would be a gap in the other party's barracks wall every other distance, but what was the use of this gap was not obvious at the moment.
Crunch A familiar voice sounded, it was the sound of the catapult pulling, Zhang He was no stranger, but looking at Yan Liang who was sinking like water on the side, he didn't understand why the other party's face was so ugly.
"Woohoo" In the dense sound of breaking the air, Zhang He quickly understood why Yan Liang had such a face, but when he saw countless fist-sized gravels falling all over the sky, ordinary wooden shields, it was difficult to defend against this kind of thing, but in an instant, in the not dense formation, pieces of Yuan soldiers fell to the ground, one by one let out a painful wail.
"This" Zhang He finally understood why Yan Liang had to line up the formation so loosely, and this kind of attack was the first time he had encountered it.
"Don't stop, continue, the catapult's attack is very slow, take advantage of this time, rush to the bottom of the camp for me" Yan Liang gritted his teeth and said: "The team of supervisors stepped forward, but there were escapees, kill" A team of overseers was dispatched, and for the first time they faced this kind of attack, the fearless soldiers who were killed just wanted to retreat, but they were mercilessly killed by the fierce overseers, so that these new soldiers would not be dispersed because of the opponent's round of attack.
The army finally rushed to safety before the second round of stone rain fell, the archers began to suppress the opponent's camp, and the warriors in front began to take the ladder to attack the wall, but if you look closely, you will find that many soldiers are squeezed into the gap between the wall.
These gaps are not wide, only allowing two people to go side by side, but if you go in, you will find that these gaps are very deep, and they do not extend in a straight line, but zigzag, and in the end, even the shouts outside seem to be much weaker.
Different from the flat wall outside, the inner wall is covered with upside-down wooden thorns, each of which is about a foot long, and it is sharpened very sharply, and if you are not careful, you will be injured by the wooden thorns.
At first, the soldiers of the Yuan army were able to maintain restraint and keep their distance from each other, but as more and more Yuan troops were squeezed in, the space that could allow them to go deep became smaller and smaller.
Someone wants to climb up by the wooden thorns, but the top is blocked by people with a template, the bottom of the plank, the same is an upside-down wooden thorn, it is a desperate situation, some people see the danger, crazy will be a line of sight in the line of sight of all the wooden thorns cut off, but soon, as more and more people squeeze in, the wall will suddenly stab out of the gap A sharp knife, was bound in it, there is no room to dodge, watching the body is pierced by the sharp knife, let out a terrible wail "Let me out, I want to go out" Under the threat of death, some people frantically wanted to squeeze out, but the Yuan army outside was constantly being squeezed in, and the irrational Yuan Jun even began to wave the weapons in his hands to kill each other, and the blood soon stained the ground red, and the smell of blood continued to emanate from the solid partition.
Tai Shi Ci could clearly feel that although there were many enemy troops today, the pressure on the frontal battlefield was not great, and it was not even as good as when the two sides were evenly matched before.
And the crux of the problem is that in the gaps that were opened by Li Ru, those gaps were like the mouths of monsters, constantly devouring lives, and also distracting the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
"I don't want this gap to seem inconspicuous, but it has such a miraculous effect" Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but praise, in this gap, the passage is arranged according to the eight gates of the golden lock array, the inside is nine curves and eighteen bends, the deepest scene, the outside can not be seen at all, the Yuan army outside is still being squeezed into the passage in a steady stream, it seems harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, as long as you go in, it is not easy to get out alive.
He has personally watched Li Ru set up the camp these days, and at this moment, he has seen more and more people being squeezed into the passage, what will happen inside, even if he doesn't have to see it with his own eyes, he can probably think of it, plus people are constantly stabbing it with sharp knives, even if he is an enemy, Tai Shici can't help but twitch in his heart, these soldiers of the Yuan Army who were squeezed into the passage did not play their due role at all, and did not have a trace of impact on his Qingzhou army, so they died here meaninglessly.
Their death has no meaning, but for Tai Shici, it is precisely because these soldiers and horses were diverted out that the pressure on the frontal battlefield was greatly reduced, and the attack of tens of thousands of troops failed to shake the Qingzhou military camp at all, but because a large number of people were squeezed into the formation, the attack on the frontal battlefield became quite weak.
"Whew" Yuan Junzhongjun, seeing that the first phalanx rushed up, but did not suppress the Qingzhou army as imagined, Yan Liang and Zhang He frowned at the same time, and wanted to order a second round of attack, but they were blocked by Xu You "Sir, why did you stop attacking" Yan Liang and Zhang He looked at Xu You in confusion.
"Not quite right."
Xu You shook his head, looked at the big camp in front of him with a solemn face, and frowned: "Tens of thousands of soldiers can attack it, even if they can't break through the opponent's camp, but for such a long time, it should have some effect, but so far, few people have even been able to attack the wall and" Xu You looked solemnly in the direction of the camp and said, "Wait and see, how many people are there before the barracks?"
"This" was reminded by Xu You, Yan Liang and Zhang He reacted, frowned and looked over, both of them are experienced generals, although now with the siege of the city, the formation is inevitably disrupted, but they can still estimate an approximate value, this careful look, the complexion can't help but change greatly.
"There are only four or five thousand people left" Zhang He and Yan Liang were taken aback, how long has it been to start the war, even if the battle is fierce, after all, it is a tough battle, and the show is just that, it is impossible for them to press people up at the same time, and it is impossible for the other party to press people up at once.
And this time, the two sides only started the battle for less than two hours, and nearly half of their soldiers and horses disappeared, this casualty speed is simply appalling, and more importantly, it is clear that there are not many entities left on the battlefield, if more than half of them are lost in such a short time, then the corpses of their own soldiers can build a corpse staircase. uncanny In the hearts of the two of them, there was a sense of unity at the same time, and they felt that the camp in front of them seemed to be eating people.
"Mingjin" Xu You frowned, this camp is weird, before the truth is discovered, blindly increasing the investment of troops will only increase casualties.
"Huh" Yan Liang and Zhang He glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes, and they didn't dare to be careless when they heard this, so they hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Bell" In the crisp sound of gold, the Yuan army began to retreat, and Tai Shici hurriedly ordered the catapults and crossbowmen to exert all their might, as long as they were within the range, they would be hit by the covering blows of the bows and crossbows.
Li Ru squinted in the direction of the other party's Chinese army, he didn't expect the other party to find out so quickly, his eyes looked at the passage that had not yet filled up people, and sighed secretly in his heart, after the other party became vigilant, it was unlikely that he would kill more people with these next time.
"Hands" waved his hand, and a cold color flashed in Li Ru's eyes.
"Whoa" A dozen strong men carried a huge wooden plank, on which a sharp knife was fixed, like a barb, was attached to the side of the passage, and then someone carried a wooden mallet and began to hit the wooden board fiercely, and the sharp knife on it was pierced into the wall little by little.
"Uhh The piercing screams, the angry roars, and the begs for mercy rang out in one piece, and the blood continued to flow out of the cracks in the wall, as if the whole camp was bleeding, and the same scene was constantly played out in the barracks, and the soldiers who were trapped in the formation, without even understanding what was happening, were crucified in the passage.
"Open the wall, drag out the corpses, and burn them on the spot" Li Ru looked at the sky and shouted in a deep voice.
"Whoa" t1706231537:
