Chapter 330 The Battle of Fuchun (3)

"Fire the arrows!" Seeing the cavalry archers of the Dongyue people coming over like a cloud, Jia Xu could no longer calm down, and shouted loudly to the thousand archers standing guard on the tower with bows ready to shoot.

I saw that an unknown general in the Shanyue Army issued an order, and the arrows rained down, and two groups of arrows with different arrow feathers shot out towards each other, but the thousand arrows of the Yangzhou Army were instantly submerged by dense black spots. Countless arrows flew towards the city tower, piercing the sky and making a "whoosh" sound, and the cold and sharp arrows kept "poofing", shooting into the bodies of the Yangzhou army soldiers guarding the city one after another.

"Wow..." Many of the guards on the tower were shot dead on the spot in this moment of confrontation, and they let out many screams.

Jia Xu held the long sword in his hand tightly, and pushed aside the incoming arrows. When he looked around, he saw that nearly 100 people had been shot through the heart, and the remaining three or four hundred people had suffered arrow wounds to varying degrees.He looked down the city, and only a few of the Dongyue people who rushed over fell off their horses, and the Dongyue cavalry had already opened their bows and arrows at this time, preparing for the second wave of shooting.

"Hide behind the battlements!" Jia Xu reacted quickly and yelled immediately. He had to admit that the Dongyue people were more difficult to deal with than the Qiang people. Only this time, the cavalry and archery troops of the Dongyue people had suppressed them. They saw the archers on the tower, and the archers also showed fear, and they were more or less afraid when they participated in the battle for the first time.

Jia Xu leaned against the battlements, and a lot of arrows flew from the gap on both sides, flew past his ears, and shot straight into the tower in front of him.The wooden pillars, doors and windows of the city tower were filled with arrows, and the arrows were still flying continuously.

Beside him was the archer under his command, with great panic in his eyes, the arrow array of the Dongyue people was too powerful.

"Damn it! If I can't keep here, I'll have the face to see the lord!" Jia Xu said angrily to himself.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the city changed, the sound of hoofs running like thunder gradually faded away, and the arrows did not shoot up again, only two shots of arrows, the city tower was already densely packed.

Jia Xu poked his head out from the battlements, squinted at the Dongyue people below the city, but saw that these cavalry and archery troops turned around and separated into two columns after galloping about 50 meters below the city, and gathered again in an open area 500 meters away. Turning the horse's head again, aiming at Fuchun City.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a cloud of dust rising behind about [-] cavalry and archery troops. The queue in the middle of the official road suddenly opened, and a team of ten knights came out of the dust cloud, and the knights on horseback had all their hands in their hands. There is a conical piece of wood that is [-] meters long.

When Jia Xu saw such a situation, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

"This, isn't this the way Karasuma cavalry attack the city? Suppressing firepower!" Jia Xu said.

More and more Dongyue cavalry armed with logs gathered. They rode out of the dust and fog in a row of ten, and then gathered behind the cavalry and archery troops, spread out in a line, the front row and the rear There is a gap of three meters between the rows, row after row going backwards, and there are six rows in the 20-meter open space, and the number of people in each row has reached 200 people, which seems to be well-organized , the attack posture is very strong.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The East Vietnamese horns sounded again, the difference was that this time the horn sound was different from the first single "woo" sound, which was full of different variables.

"All the wounded soldiers are about to go down the tower, and the Dongyue people are going to launch a second wave of arrow attacks!" Looking at the situation, Jia Xu also realized that the Dongyue people were going to attack. In order to reduce casualties, he hastily issued an order.

Hundreds of wounded soldiers went down the tower one after another, and the tower was empty for a moment. When the wounded soldiers got off the tower, some healthy archers climbed up the tower again to make up for the archers on the tower.

"This time we are going to strike late, and we will fight back when the Dongyue people finish their archery and go back. Do you understand?" Jia Xu saw the first time the Dongyue people fought, and when the Dongyue people withdrew It was when they were least defensive that they made this bold decision.

"No!" All the soldiers on the tower replied loudly.

The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder outside the city again, and the cavalry and archery troops of the Dongyue people drove towards Fuchun City like waves. Shoot it out.As a result, locust-like arrows shot again, with a whistling sound piercing the sky, flying from both sides of the battlement and the city wall, and inserted into the tower, shooting the tower like a hedgehog.

Jia Xu was leaning against the battlements, heard the sound of hoofbeats and neighing of horses below the city, immediately picked up a big bow from the dead body beside him, put on the arrow, pulled the bow and arrow hard, and shouted loudly : "It's now, shoot the arrow!"

Following Jia Xu's order, a thousand archers on the city tower showed their heads one after another, and shot their fully drawn bows and arrows towards the densely packed Dongyue cavalry and archery troops below the city.The East Vietnamese cavalry were turning their horses from their wings and retreating. Suddenly they felt the arrows shot from behind and were caught off guard. Hundreds of cavalry fell off their horses under the arrows.

However, things are not that simple. People in East Vietnam are all horsemen who are good at shooting. When the horse archer who rushed up from behind saw someone showing his head on the tower, he shot the arrow in his hand, and shot the arrow on the tower. More than 100 people who did not have time to avoid were shot like hedgehogs.

Jia Xu and the others leaned their backs against the city wall, and when they saw the soldiers shot to death by arrows, they felt sorry for each other, but more of it was a sense of fear.

"Come on, if we can't hold this place, everyone will die! Listen to my order, do it again, this time you have to react quickly, and everyone is ready!" Jia Xu could see the fear of the soldiers, but now he I can only say some words of encouragement. After all, this is the first time he has participated in such a battle. Even his way of fighting the Dongyue people is a headache, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Under the city, the cavalry and archery troops of the Dongyue people withdrew again, and the corpses that fell under the horses were also covered in blood and flesh from the horseshoes. At this time, no one would care about those dead people.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Jia Xu and everyone else heard the heavy sound of horseshoes suddenly. The sound of horseshoes rises and falls in unison, which is very different from the cavalry and archery troops just now.

"Didn't we withdraw this time?" Jia Xu murmured in his heart. He slightly poked his head out and glanced down the city. , Shouting to the archers on the tower, "Go down the tower, go down the tower, go down the tower!"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they froze there for a moment. Before they could move their bodies, they suddenly heard a loud noise from under the city wall.

"boom!"

A loud noise echoed in the ears of Jia Xu and the archers guarding the tower, and their bodies also began to feel a shake at the same time, as if something had hit the city wall violently.

Jia Xu was terrified. He didn't expect the Dongyue people to be so smart that they would use logs to smash into the city wall. He shouted again: "Get down from the tower!"

Under the city wall, the first row of East Vietnamese cavalry with logs rode against the impact force of their horses, held up the long conical logs, and forcefully inserted two hundred logs into the city wall of Fuchun City.The city wall was made of rammed earth, and it was not very strong. Once it was hit violently, it began to shake.After the first row of East Vietnamese cavalry withdrew, the second row rushed over, followed by the third and fourth rows...

For a while, the walls of Fuchun City were filled with such densely packed logs, and those East Vietnamese cavalrymen with the logs didn't really retreat, they just made way for the people behind.When the last row of cavalry finished their task, the rest of the retreating cavalry turned around again, all jumped off their horses, and rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Everyone was holding a log, and together they tried to push down the already existing wall. The earth wall was loosened by the impact.

Jia Xu and the archers on the tower went down the tower in a head-to-head collision. As soon as they went down the tower, Jia Xu called back Wenpin, Li Tong and others who were hiding in the doorway.As soon as Wen Pin, Li Tong and others withdrew back, they heard a loud booming sound from behind, and the city wall collapsed in an instant, causing a burst of earth fog.

At this moment, a soldier ran from the south gate, squeezed into the crowd, came to Jia Xu, and shouted: "My lord, the gate... was knocked down by the gate and killed many people. General Ma Chao asked you what to do?"

Jia Xu didn't have time to ponder, and immediately shouted to the man: "Go and tell Ma Chao, no matter what, we must guard the collapsed city gate, and we must not let the Dongyue people rush in, let the shield soldiers block the front, and the archers cover behind." !"

"promise!"

Jia Xu hurriedly shouted to Wenpin and Li Tong beside him: "Although the city wall has fallen, we are still there. There are still [-] soldiers on the city wall. We must not let the Dongyue people rush in. Wenpin, with two thousand The sword and shield soldiers are at the front. Li Tong, you hide on both sides of the road with the crossbowmen, climb up to the roof, and occupy a favorable position. Anyone who wants to escape will be killed! No matter what, we must persist until the lord brings reinforcements. .”

"No!" The two said, clasping their fists together.
