Chen Dingnan shouted loudly: "Let the barbarians come up. After the barbarians attack the city, their archers will no longer fire arrows!"
"no!"
The general commanding the archers said anxiously: "If you don't suppress it, the enemies will keep climbing up. If you can't stop them then, who can bear the responsibility if the city wall falls?"
"You can see it!"
Chen Dingnan swiped his long spear, and Zhang Feng removed half of the head of a wolf rider who had just emerged. This spear moved very steadily. He cut in from the left temple, cut out the two eyes, and then cut out from the right side. The Wolf Cavalry with its head removed looked very strange and ferocious, with blood and brains flowing out instantly.
"Formation, take four steps back!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly.
The two hundred white-robed warriors took four steps back neatly. The two hundred people were divided into two rows, with their bodies staggered. The warriors behind could attack in the space between the warriors in the front row. Taking these four steps back just left a foothold for the climbing wolf cavalry. But having a foothold does not mean that they can stand, because as soon as those wolf cavalry climbed up, they faced a row of frontmen.
"You have been training hard with me for more than ten years, and I have been training with you since I started practicing martial arts. The Chen family has gone through so many hardships and is not willing to let you fight, but today we must stand up! I petitioned again and again, and the Marquis agreed Let¡¯s go to the city. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment. The Chen family has not used you for personal matters, but now it is a national crisis and you have no reason to retreat! "
"Those who retreat are not members of my Chen family!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly, and all the white-robed men replied in unison: "I would rather die than retreat!"
At this time, a wolf cavalry climbed up. Seeing that his own people had already climbed up, the arrow formation so far away did not dare to fire any more arrows. Kuoketai Menglie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the remnants of Zhe's army could rush forward, and immediately ordered his two thousand-man troops to go over for support.
Before the first wolf cavalryman who climbed up had time to stand still, a spear more than two feet long stabbed into his heart accurately. After the wound came out, it took a while for blood to flow out from the wound like spring water. The man in the second row pulled out his weapon while the person in front withdrew his weapon, and pushed the man off the city wall.
The commander in charge of the archers discovered that the spearmen in the second row were actually holding their long spears upside down, with the front facing backward and the tail facing forward.
The one in the front kills, the one in the back pushes.
The two attackers who took action just now had no gaps in their coordination.
If he didn¡¯t have great self-confidence, who would dare to form an array like this?
Chen Dingnan had no expression on his face because he had extra trust in his two hundred white robes. These young people have been with him since he started practicing martial arts. One of his father's most correct decisions was to train a group of the most loyal guards for him. These two hundred people are Chen Dingnan's amulets. When the rebels were in trouble and Fang Jie led his troops to besiege the city, Chen Dingnan did not let these two hundred white robes show their faces. But this time, he did not hesitate when facing foreign enemies.
Fang Jie initially did not agree to let him bring two hundred white robes to the city. There was no need to verify it. Fang Jie could tell how elite these two hundred people were just by looking at them. They walk in unison, and when they stand, they move in a natural sequence. This is not a tacit understanding that can only be achieved by working together for a month, two months, or a year or two. But they had little experience in actual combat against enemies, so they did not dare to be careless.
Chen Dingnan insisted on going to the city to fight. Fang Jie knew that this young man was eager to achieve success and had extra confidence in his eyes, so he did not stop him.
The first row of soldiers kills, and the second row of soldiers turns upside down. If someone else had used this arrangement, the enemy would have dispersed as soon as they charged. But these two hundred white robes don't know how to do it. They have been practicing this formation for more than ten years. Whatever action the person in front makes, the person behind will react naturally.
It¡¯s like a person is born with four arms and four legs, there is no hindrance at all.
One ladder after another was set up on the stone wall, and one soldier after another climbed up the ladder. At this time, the other archer who did not believe Chen Dingnan was stunned. The white-robed gunmen in the first row struck out as fast as lightning, and each blow was accurately sent into the enemy's vitals. After the person in front struck a blow, the opponent behind him immediately pushed the enemy down.
If you look at it from one side, the movements of the front and rear rows of hands are as stable as machinery.
When the wolf cavalry came up, one of them was stabbed over, and the corpses dropped like dumplings.
The efficiency of these two hundred white robes in killing people was ridiculously high, with almost no one missing. Their arms seemed to have endless strength.?The stable Zhang Feng didn't tremble at all after killing someone. In just ten minutes, at least more than a hundred wolf cavalry who climbed up one after another were stabbed to death, but no one could stand firmly on the stone wall with their feet, even for ten seconds.
This kind of killing speed cannot be described in words. It is extremely difficult for people who have not seen this scene with their own eyes to imagine how fierce and ruthless it is. He commits suicide again and again and kills again and again. Twenty minutes later, there was still no blood visible on the clothes of the white-robed men in the first row. Thirty minutes later, they could still maintain the same speed and stability as before.
Fang Jie looked back at Qilin and ordered: "Lead a reserve group to prepare. Although such killing methods are sharp, the soldiers attack too quickly and have no time to rest. They cannot last long. But let Chen Dingnan hold on as long as he can. How long will he persist? This killing method will have the greatest impact on the enemy's morale!"
Qilin nodded while holding the copper stick, already impatient.
¡¡
¡¡
For a full hour, at least more than 900 wolf cavalry were stabbed to death by the white-robed claws and then fell from the stone wall. The four-step distance left by Chen Dingnan was a fatal temptation that attracted the wolf cavalry. The soldiers who climbed up later saw corpses falling down one by one, and the fear in their hearts became more and more serious. Four steps away is exactly the length caused by the sharp edge.
"Substitute!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly when he saw the shooters in the first row slowing down. The shooters in the back row immediately took a step forward, and at the same time turned their long swords forward. The soldiers in the first row took a step back without looking back, but no one collided with the people behind them. This kind of cooperation was amazing to watch.
"Archers prepare!"
Chen Dingnan pierced the eye socket of the climbing wolf cavalry with a spear, turned back and shouted to the archer general who was retreating at the rear: "My people are tired. When I call you, come forward immediately!"
The general nodded quickly and ordered the archers to prepare.
After the second row of players came up, they held on for about 20 minutes. Chen Dingnan knew that the defense might collapse if he did not switch defenses. He shouted loudly and then rushed forward. All the white-robed spears started to move forward almost at the same time, and the neat forward pressure pushed down all the wolf cavalry who climbed up. Then, as if someone was controlling them at the same time, almost at the same time, they pressed their long spears against the ladder and started to move. Push forward with force.
More than thirty ladders placed on the stone wall were pushed up and then slowly fell backwards.
This scene was extremely spectacular. All the ladders were overturned and fell backwards. The Wolf Cavalry soldiers who were still hanging on the ladders shouted in panic, and then fell heavily.
After overturning the ladder, Chen Dingnan immediately retreated: "Archers and reserves come up!"
The archers will not be waiting all the time. When they hear the shouts, they will immediately lead people forward to supplement them. Two hundred white robes retreated in an orderly manner, killing more than a thousand people, but not a single person was injured!
After the archers came up, Qilin immediately came up with a regiment of 300 people to replace Chen Dingnan's archers. When he went down, Chen Dingnan looked back at the endless array of wolf cavalry under the city, with a proud smile on his lips.
Fang Jie stood high behind the city wall and kept watching, with approval in his eyes.
Chen Dingnan is conceited, but he has the capital to be conceited. Fang Jie never doubted Chen Dingnan's ability from the beginning to the end. As long as this young man experienced a few more battles, he would definitely become a brave general. And his two hundred soldiers exerted their greatest power on this battlefield. There are only 200 people, but they can just hold the city wall. If the stone wall were longer and their formation became looser, it would not have such an effect.
The most important thing is that from the time they went up to kill the enemy to the time they retreated to rest, the expressions of each of these two hundred white robes were extremely calm, without any change.
After Qilin came up, he couldn't help but patted Chen Dingnan on the shoulder: "Well done!"
Chen Dingnan was staggered by his slap and said: "Can't you be a little less energetic?"
Qilin laughed loudly, pointed to the back and said: "You can take people down to rest. It's me this time!"
Chen Dingnan nodded: "I'll come back later, so be careful!"
Qilin said: "The barbarian who can hurt me hasn't been born yet, so don't worry!"
Chen Qing also laughed and jumped directly from the city wall more than two feet high. He walked quickly to Fang Jie and clasped his fists, saying, "My subordinates have returned. The soldiers are all exhausted and do not dare to fight anymore."
Fang Jie nodded and said: "Well, you did the right thing. Go down and rest. It is estimated that if Qilin fights against the barbarians for a while, the morale of the barbarians will drop to the bottom. The sky has also darkened, and Kuoketai Menglie will withdraw his troops." "
"Will the barbarians make a sneak attack tonight?"
Chen Dingnan asked.
"inevitable"
Fang Jie nodded: "Koketai Menglie didn't have the patience to waste any more. The scouts just came to report that many monks were seen on the grassland of Mandu Banner in the west with a large number of herdsmen gathering towards the canyon, but they can He is not here to meet Meng Lie, but to prevent Meng Lie from returning. "
¡°It seems that the chaos over Meng Yuan has already made Brother Kuoktai Meng very worried!¡±
Chen Dingnan laughed and said.
Fang Jie hummed: "Don't worry about it, just block Meng Lie. If nothing else happens, the people of the imperial court will divide their forces even if they don't attack Jinyang. The emperor can see clearly than anyone else that those in Jinyang The remaining bandits are nothing to worry about, but the 200,000 wolf riders are a serious concern. Therefore, we can hold on for six or seven days at most, and the reinforcements will almost arrive."
"The barbarians who have not been able to break through our stone wall for six or seven days will really despair!"
Chen Dingnan laughed, then clasped his fists in salute and went to rest.
The archers of the Black Flag Army on the city wall once again showed off their power, pouring boiling oil and putting down the nail racket. The remaining one or two hundred people of the other three thousand-man teams finally collapsed and began to retreat. They were no longer able to continue the attack. Kuabie Tie'er and his men charged again for a while. After losing seven or eight hundred soldiers, they still failed to attack. The sky gradually darkened. As expected by Fang Jie, the sound of horns was heard from the Mongolian and Yuan army formations, and the attacking team began. Retreat slowly.
The first day
The barbarians dropped more than 4,000 corpses outside the stone wall. Within a hundred and fifty steps from the city wall, almost no land could be seen, and everything was covered with corpses.
Soon after the barbarians retreated, a large number of unarmed wolf cavalry began to clean the battlefield. The Black Flag Army soldiers on the stone wall leaned against the wall stacks and watched the enemies below carrying away the corpses one by one. No one fired arrows. At this time, no matter how strong the hatred, they will not lose their minds.
This is a common practice on the battlefield. No one touches the soldiers cleaning up the corpses.
Fang Jie climbed up the stone wall and looked at the busy crowd outside with a calm expression. No one saw that there was a fleeting look of worry in his eyes when he stared at the barbarians. Just now, he suddenly thought of something, something that was very bad for him and the Black Flag Army. If he guessed it right, everyone might be in a very difficult situation.
??Hope not.
Fang Jie murmured in his heart, his eyes looking eastward involuntarily. The sun was very low in the distance behind him, and night was approaching.
