"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 179
Ang woo¡ª¡ª
Amidst the sound of the horn, General Li Lang of the Qinghe Army who was sitting on his horse gave the order to attack.
"First Banner Battalion, attack!"
The 5,000 infantry of the newly formed First Banner Battalion, who were waiting in full force, rushed forward, and they moved towards the city of Zhen'an Prefecture with sonorous and forceful steps.
The 5,000 heavily armed infantry of the Qinghe Army were recruits who had not been killed in battle. Chen Ziang hoped to temper them with the flames of battle and let them see blood.
Liang Guanlin's Stormtrooper Ten was at the back of the entire army formation. He followed closely the pace of his comrades in the front row. As far as he could see, there were crowds of heads.
"The thief army is coming up!"
"Archers are ready!"
"Quick, get the log ready for me!"
The imperial guards on the top of the city were also in a panic, and the officers shouted one after another.
"General Wang, I'll leave this battle to you! I'll take credit for you for blocking the bandit army!"
"No!"
After the commander-in-chief Yang Yunfeng saw the Qinghe army approaching with sonorous and powerful steps, his complexion changed, and he handed over the command of the city to a lieutenant general, and then left the city with everyone as if fleeing.
After all, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Yang Yunfeng is not good at fighting in battle formations, so he hid in the city for safety reasons.
There is no moat in Zhen'an Mansion, but it saves a lot of trouble for the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who are in charge of the attack.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army strode forward in a neat line, and as they got closer to the city wall, the faces of the soldiers became tense.
After all, they have never been killed in battle. Even though they have been trained along the way, they do not have the courage to die generously.
"Archer!"
The officer of the imperial guards at the head of the city saw that the Qinghe army had crossed the land of an arrow, and raised the command flag in his hand high.
"put!"
"Buzz!"
Following a cold shout from the officer of the Imperial Guard, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard holding hard bows let go of their bowstrings.
The howling spiked heavy arrows shot towards the Qinghe army with a roar of death.
"Raise your shield!"
"Raise your shield!"
The officers at all levels of the infantry of the Qinghe Army were drawn from the cavalry unit, and they were the backbone of this new recruit unit.
Amidst the yelling of officers at all levels, Liang Guanlin subconsciously raised the wooden shield in his hand and blocked it above his head.
"Tuk tuk tuk!"
Immediately after that, there was a dull sound from the wooden shield, and Liang Guanlin's arm was a little numb due to the force of the powerful arrow.
"Shhhhh!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Although Liang Guanlin raised the wooden shield in time, it blocked the incoming arrows.
However, the muffled sound of arrows piercing into flesh was constantly heard around, and the sound of sharp arrows rubbing against bones made people's ears sore.
"Well!"
"ah!"
Many soldiers in the Qinghe Army raised their shields too late, and many of them were pierced by arrows, spewing out a cloud of blood mist.
People kept falling to the ground with arrows, screams one after another, and there was a commotion in the Qinghe Army's ranks.
"Don't mess! Don't mess!"
Amid the howling arrows, the officers roared hoarsely, maintaining the order of the army formation.
"Help me, save me"
Not far from Liang Guanlin, a brother was shot by an arrow and fell down, begging his comrades next to him with pain on his face.
A soldier tried to pull the brother who had been shot and fell to the ground, but as soon as he moved, a gap appeared in the shield formation of their ten-man team.
"Pfft!"
A cold arrow appeared like a poisonous snake and pierced through the head of a brother in front of Liang Guanlin.
With blood splashing, Liang Guanlin only felt his cheeks heat up, followed by the pungent bloody smell that rushed straight to his nostrils, making Liang Guanlin's stomach churn and almost nauseated.
And the arm of the soldier who stretched out his hand to pull the fallen brother was also pierced by the arrow. He fell down clutching his arm, and his shield slipped to the ground.
"Puff puff!"
Before the other brothers could react, three sharp arrows nailed him to the ground.
"Don't move around!"
"Don't worry about the fallen man!"
At this time, the voice of the captain of their storm ten-man team rang out, and no one dared to move.
Those brothers who fell to the ground were quickly nailed to the ground by the arrows that followed, and the Qinghe army's team suddenly became thinner.
"go ahead!"
"keep going!"
After facing a wave of arrows from the imperial guards at the head of the city, the voice of the banner battalion commander rang out again.
Liang Guanlin and the others held their shields high again, passed the comrades who fell to the ground, and continued to approach the city wall.
"Archery!"
"Stop them!"
The officers of the Imperial Guard at the top of the city were also roaring loudly, urging the archers.
Sharp arrows poured down towards Liang Guanlin and the others like a violent storm, and people beside them fell to the ground from time to time.
But they could only watch those brothers struggling on the ground, and then they were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, and they dared not leave the team to rescue them.
Chen Zi'ang's 30,000 infantry were all recruited from the refugees. These refugees were all honest farmers who knew nothing about drawing bows and archery. Naturally, they didn't have archers, so they couldn't suppress the rain of arrows at the top of the city.
Soon, Liang Guanlin and the others braved the arrows and arrived at the city wall, and a ladder quickly leaned against the city wall.
"superior!"
"Press it up!"
Under the loud urging of the officers, many soldiers were driven up the ladder like ducks being driven away, and climbed up towards the city wall.
Some soldiers just climbed not far, and the arrow pierced it condescendingly, and fell down screaming.
"And then on!"
Someone fell down, and soon another soldier climbed up the ladder.
"Boom!"
A rolling log slammed down from the top of the city, and the soldiers of the Qinghe Army on the ladder vomited blood and fell down.
The soldiers of the imperial guards at the top of the city are using all means to prevent the Qinghe army from climbing, and the soldiers of the Qinghe army are also rushing upwards under the urging of the officers.
On Liang Guanlin's side, the Storm Ten's team firmly resisted a ladder, preventing the imperial guards at the top of the city from overturning the ladder.
Zhen'an Mansion has not encountered a war for more than a hundred years, so the thunder stones and logs prepared are all improvised, and the lethality is greatly reduced.
However, even so, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who attacked the city were still unable to climb the city wall, as their casualties continued to rise.
"I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore."
Facing the thunder, stone, rolling wood and arrows at the top of the city, seeing people lying in a pool of blood beside him, some soldiers of the Qinghe army turned pale with fright, threw away the weapons in their hands and ran back.
"Puff!"
However, this soldier of the Qinghe Army turned around and did not run very far when a cold light flashed and his head fell to the ground.
"No retreat without order!"
An officer with a face covered in blood stood next to the corpse with a bloody sword in his hand, warning loudly.
But the next moment, this officer was shot into a hedgehog by the arrows from the top of the city.
"Run, run, or you will die here!"
I don't know who yelled, and more than a dozen Qinghe soldiers threw away the ladder and turned around and ran away.
The effect of running away will affect many people. Seeing someone turn their heads and run away, the soldiers who were on the ladder slipped down without hesitation and ran back.
Although the officers were loudly yelling to stop them, they couldn't stop them at all when facing these soldiers who saw blood for the first time.
Chen Zi'ang had been watching the battle from a distance on horseback, and his expression was awe-inspiring when he saw that the attacking troops retreated so quickly.
Liang Guanlin and the others saw that the comrades on both sides ran back, they finally gritted their teeth, threw away the ladder, and ran back with the team.
