"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 953
The golden battle flag of the rebel army was fluttering on Yingzui Peak, and the brothers of the rebel army stood guard behind the battlements. Countless strong bows and crossbows were aimed at the outside of the pass, and there was a murderous aura in the air.
The head of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army was riding on a horse, and his face was gloomy when he saw Zhou Ting and the others waiting in full force.
It never occurred to him that they let these insurgents take advantage of their carelessness.
Last year, the rebel army in the Far East Dynasty had held a meeting in Jiangbei Province, and now the rebel army has formed an alliance.
When the Qinghe Army aggressively attacked the southern part of Luyang Province, the rebel army occupied Yingzui Peak. It is not necessary to think that these rebel troops and the Qinghe Army are in collusion.
If the Yingzui Peak is not recaptured, then the brothers of more than a dozen regiments under the command of the former general Long Ze will be trapped to death in the southern part of the province.
So recapturing Yingzui Peak became the top priority of their Ninth Corps, and he didn't dare to delay.
"Beat the drum, attack!"
After forming a team in the wilderness outside Yingzui Peak Mountain, the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army immediately began to attack.
Because Yingzui Peak guards the dangerous mountain pass, and there are cliffs and mountains on both sides, it has become a strategic location.
In the past, when the Luyang Province was calm and the sea was calm, this mountain pass was completely a wilderness, but as the Far East Dynasty was full of wars, such a place became a heavily fortified place.
Because Yamaguchi could not deploy too many troops, the first attacking troops of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army only had 2,000 people.
Two thousand soldiers of the mighty army carried a crash log made of a big tree that was hastily felled, and rushed towards the south wall of Yingzui Peak with howls.
The majestic and sturdy construction of the southern wall was designed to defend against the Qinghe army, but who knows that it has now become an insurmountable gap for them.
Seeing the mighty soldiers rushing up along the gentle slope of the road, Zhou Ting and the others standing on the wall looked serious.
"Archers are ready!"
Following an order, three hundred brothers from the rebel army with hard bows quickly stepped forward, and the arrows along the battlements aimed at the mighty soldiers who rushed forward.
The soldiers of the Mighty Army waved their weapons and rushed forward with a yell. When they entered the place where the arrow was shot, the arrows on the wall whized away.
The howling arrows continuously pierced through the bodies of the soldiers of the mighty army. Their bodies were like paper, with blood mist constantly rising.
However, under the urging and cursing of the officers, the soldiers of the Mighty Army had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush up.
King Ning expanded the mighty army in Luyang Province to 200,000, but the resources in Luyang Province were poor, and they were looted by the Qinghe Army at the beginning, so their army equipment was not good.
The Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army was not reorganized from the private soldiers of the family, but newly formed. Only 10% of the sword and shield soldiers who can be equipped with shields, and less than 500 archers, and most of the rest are worthless. Spearman.
At this moment, the soldiers of the mighty army who charged did not even have a shield to protect themselves. Under the arrows shot by the brothers of the rebel army guarding the pass, some people kept falling to the ground.
After paying a lot of casualties, the soldiers of the Mighty Army finally rushed under the wall, and immediately slammed into the thick door.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The heavy bumper slammed against the closing door violently, causing the soil to fall off the wall quickly.
And the archers of the mighty army also bent their bows and set up arrows one after another, standing under the wall and shooting at the archers of the rebel army, and arrows fell from the wall constantly.
"Smash them to death!"
Seeing the soldiers of the mighty army banging and closing the door, Zhou Ting also ordered the soldiers to use rolling logs to deal with it.
Ropes were tied to both ends of the log, and many sharp blades were embedded in the log.
As the rolling log crashed down from the wall, the soldiers of the mighty army who were under the wall were unable to dodge in time, and were immediately smashed head-on.
"ah!"
The sharp blade on the log cut into the bodies of those mighty soldiers under the action of gravitational potential energy, instantly making them bloody and bloody.
When the log was pulled up, the bodies of several mighty soldiers even hung on the log.
After the rolling log was pulled up, it fell heavily again. The mighty soldier who tried to lift the log and continued to hit was knocked over again and was killed by the blade.
In just a moment, the mighty army soldiers gathered near the closed gateThere were heavy casualties, and the log was already covered with broken cloth strips and minced meat, and it was blood red.
The Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army arrived here after a long journey, and they did not carry any siege equipment at all.
Facing the majestic wall, their first wave of attacking troops killed and injured hundreds of people without being able to hit the door and had to retreat.
The head of the Ninth Corps had to order the troops to urgently build a ladder to attack the city in preparation for the attack.
After more than half a day of preparation, the Mighty Army finally built more than 20 sturdy ladders in an emergency, and immediately launched a second wave of fierce attacks on the wall.
This time the Mighty Army is also bound to win. They not only transferred all the bow soldiers, but also sent all the sword and shield soldiers.
Seeing the attacking troops of the mighty army rushing forward shouting slogans, Zhou Ting, who was guarding the wall, also had a stern look on his face.
"Get closer and shoot!"
Although Zhou Ting and the others have been active in the territory of Luyang Province, the Qinghe Army has given them a lot of support.
The Qinghe army reformed the currency in their occupied areas and began to use silver bills, gold bills and other bills, but the gold coins that were exchanged, and the silver coins were not idle, part of it was Zhou Ting and others' military expenses.
In addition to these military expenses, the Qinghe Army also supported them with a lot of new weapons and sent them officers from the War College.
Although Zhou Ting and the others are not many in number and their clothes are tattered, they have also received a batch of crossbows delivered by the Qinghe Army.
These crossbows are all precious lumps, and Zhou Ting is generally reluctant to use them, so when the mighty army attacked in the first wave, he intentionally was useless and deliberately showed weakness.
Now seeing four or five thousand mighty troops rushing forward, and there were so many ladders, he also decided to get closer and give them a head-on blow.
The mighty army rushed forward in a dense mass. When they entered the range of the crossbow arrows, Zhou Ting decisively gave the order to shoot.
Compared with the sparse arrows of the hard bow just now, the hard bow and crossbow arrows on the wall are now fired together, forming a rain of arrows.
Hard bows need to be operated by archers in order to shoot accurately and have lethality. Crossbows are much easier, and ordinary soldiers can operate them after simple learning.
Under this rain of arrows, the soldiers in the front row of the Mighty Army were emptied piece by piece like ripe wheat.
Seeing the comrades in front kept falling in the pool of blood, and seeing countless arrows piercing their bodies, the soldiers of the mighty army behind felt as if they were drenched in a rain of blood, and their legs became weak from fright.
The officers of the Mighty Army have never seen such a terrifying rain of arrows. When they saw the rain of arrows spreading towards them, they couldn't help but retreat. In the end, they all fled back one after another. They haven't rushed up yet. He was forced back by the dense arrow rain. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
