Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 74 Offense and Defense
Blow the trumpet, beat the drum, and march.

Jiang Lei's reaction was quick, but Song Jun's speed was as slow as a turtle.The giant camp led by Zhou Bin was freed from the busy work, and Jiang Lei ranked at the forefront, followed by the Xiang barracks in Rencheng, and finally the forbidden army with a total of 600 people.

Now that they are engaged in a siege battle, they have not forgotten to leave heavy troops at the head of Jinshatan Beach to defend their lair.

Zhou Bin naturally knew that the Juye Camp he was leading was the cannon fodder for this battle, and even the [-] soldiers in the Juye Camp seemed to know their fate, so they acted procrastinatingly.Rencheng's barracks are connected with life, and they are also crawling slowly like a tortoise.

"Hey, it would be great if the officers and soldiers were all those side soldiers. Even if there are 1000 more people, it won't get in the way!" Liu Tang said with regret when he saw Song Jun's slow tortoise-like action at the gate. .

Lu Qian laughed loudly, "The Xiang soldiers are unbearable to fight, and the imperial army's equipment is strong, but they are also unbearable. Of course, a truly strong soldier cannot do without weapons and armor, but what is more important is this heart." Lu Qian patted his chest. Tell Liu Tang.When he first crossed, when he remembered the formation of the Song army in his mind, he sneered at this army.

A crossbowman accounts for [-]% of the entire army, and these crossbowmen have not practiced long swords and guns. When they go into battle, they only have a waist knife except for bows and arrows. This kind of army formation itself lacks the courage to attack , that is inherently defensive.

And an army that defined itself as a defensive army early on, and an army that put itself in a position to be beaten early, is strange to be strong.

"In this world of Zhao and Song, the only army horses that can still fight are in the northwest." If it weren't for Liangshan's poor military equipment, such a charge would be shot into a sieve by the Song army array, and Lu Qian would dare to lead five hundred capable men. Golden Beach fights.

As far as the will to fight is concerned, he believes that the official army in the Shandong area of ​​​​the Song Dynasty will not be much stronger than the Tu Yong in the local prefectures and counties, and may even be weaker.And the superior number of Xiang soldiers is even more cowardly.Lu Qian thought of the soldiers he saw in Juye, is that really an army?

However, although the soft bows of the Song Army had limited lethality, they were deadly enough for the unarmored Liang Shan.And the power of the Divine Arm Bow cannot be underestimated.

After the soldiers of the Song Dynasty occupied the Duanjin Pavilion, Lu Qian no longer dared to stay in a conspicuous position at the pass.Even the weakest version of the sacred arm bow held by the Jeju Imperial Army can reach 240 steps [another version records, but it should be a weakened version. Shen Kuo presided over the manufacture of military weapons, and his records are more authentic], That is 370 meters away, Lu Qian must guard against being sniped.

From Duanjin Pavilion to the first pass, there are jagged rocks and luxuriant trees. If the Song Army sends men to lurk in the pass, it will be difficult to detect it. If it is not afraid of ten thousand, it is just in case. Lu Qian is quite afraid dead.Even Liu Tang was asked to do so by him!

What should come is still coming.After dawdling for half an hour, Ju Camping still came to the pass, carrying a few simple long ladders.

Slowly advancing from one hundred steps to seventy steps, Lu Qian did not order the archers to shoot arrows; when Juyeying was fifty steps away, Lu Qian still did not order the minions to shoot arrows; Juyeying continued to move forward , but Zhou Bin's heart was beating drums.

He knows that Lu Qian's prestige these days is obviously not the person who has no courage and no wisdom; then it also means that the calm in front of him is just the prelude before the storm, and Lu Qian must be holding back his big move!

And when the storm hit, Zhou Bin could only think of misery.This made him very uncomfortable, this time was so difficult, it was like knowing that there was a guillotine on his head that would fall off at any time, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to be on tenterhooks.

"Calm down, obey orders, get up, draw your bow and shoot an arrow, hold the bow firmly, and shoot the arrow accurately."

Now the arrows on the pass can be said to have assembled half of the "heavy arrows" in the entire Liangshan cottage. The arrow clusters of many arrows are more than one finger long, and the arrows also range from conical or almost conical rhombus, or Flat triangles, or even pointed long triangular edges.

"Let the arrows!" Zhou Bin ordered loudly, he could not let his subordinates go forward to die in vain, hundreds of soft bows were aimed at the pass, and arrows rained down all at once.It's just useless!
There are a lot of wooden signs on the pass. If you hold one on your head and throw it, it won't hurt the minions at all, unless you are extremely unlucky.Lu Qian quietly poked his head out and took a look. Zhou Bin's large group of men and horses stopped fifty steps away. There was probably an entire army in front of them, rushing towards the pass carrying a few simple long ladders.

Don't wonder why Lu Qian knew that Zhou Bin was leading the troops below. The Song army carried the banner of 'Zhou', and there was only one surnamed Zhou in the several battalions, which clearly showed his identity.However, Lu Qian will not show mercy.

"Get ready!" Lu Qian called out, but he didn't tell the minion archers at the entire pass, but the drummer beside him.

"Dong dong dong..." A series of rapid drum sounds sounded from the pass.The archer who had been shrinking his head just now stood up straight in an instant, leaned on the battlements at the pass, bent his bow and arrows, and fired at the Song army who had advanced thirty or twenty steps away from the pass.

Standing up with these precious archers, there was another group of minions. Their only function was to hold the wooden sign and prop up a layer of protection on top of the heads of the archers.

With the protection of the battlements and the protection of the wooden sign above the head, the safety of the Liangshan Minion Archer is more than one level higher than that of the opposite side.

Fifty archers flashed out from the concave surface of the battlements, shooting sharp arrows, two or three arrows were shot in the blink of an eye.

The close distance greatly increased the accuracy of the archers, and the crude defenses of the box soldiers also allowed them to be accurate one by one when facing bows and arrows.The so-called leather armor and paper armor are also divided into good and bad. For example, the soldiers in the giant camping camp have not changed their armor for ten or eight years, or even for a longer period of time. There is a problem with its preservation. His armor was also in tatters.What's more, only [-]-[-]% of them can wear armor.Zhou Bin is not a great general, and he never thought of concentrating his armored soldiers on attack.Therefore, as long as the arrows shot at the pass can hit, there will be more blood.The flimsy little round shield couldn't protect too many people. After a burst of screams, the guards in the city threw down the long ladder and fled.At the same time, there were [-] or [-] wounded who were dead or howling were thrown under the pass by them.

The battlefield was solemn and quiet, only the cries of pain from the wounded soldiers of the Song army lingered in front of the pass.

Zhou Bin closed his eyes in pain, heartbroken. He lost 30 people in the first round of attack, which made him feel a little unacceptable, not to mention that there was a Dutou inside, and he had a very good friendship with him.The latter was shot in the eye by an arrow and died instantly.

The tragedy of the giant camp fell in Jiang Lei's eyes, but it was disappointing. "The thieves fled with only two or three waves of arrows. How can they be an officer? Tell Zhou Bin that Yu Ben will attack again." He didn't care that the duty of the Jeju Xiangbing itself was to patrol and dredge the canals and Jishui.The one who died just now is another fart in his eyes.In his eyes, the small heads of the Xiang barracks were no different from the weeds on the roadside.

Annoyed, he only vented his anger on Juyeying, but told Ren Chengying to escape.

What else could Zhou Bin do?Can only attack again.

He dispatched sword and shield soldiers, and the battle of siege is also the stage for sword and shield soldiers.The pikemen and swordsman and axemen have to wait until the sword and shield soldiers have opened up the situation and then swarm up.Although none of these giant campers.

After repelling the Song Army's first attack, Lu Qian could clearly feel the mental relaxation of the minions, even the people around him no longer stretched their bodies tightly.

Now Song Jun's second attack is coming.

Lu Qian raised his head and took a look, feeling that it would not be difficult to repel this attack. Then the main force of the Song Army, the Forbidden Army, might launch a third attack, otherwise the Song Army would be too demoralized.And then there will be peace, and the day will pass.

With such calculations in Lu Qian's mind, he became less and less concerned about the current giant camp.Compared with Xiangbing, he is more willing to test the combat effectiveness of Jingdong Forbidden Army.

"what……"

"Gollum..."

Rolling logs and rocks, and arrows coming and going, the second attack of the giant camp was more violent than the first one, and the defeat was more miserable.

The terrain of the pass is already condescending, and the falling of rolling logs and stones is more lethal than flat ground.Then the arrows rained down, and the Song army's casualties would naturally be greater than last time.

However, Song Jun's arrow rain also created two wounded and one dead body for Liangshan. The important thing is that Lu Qian suddenly lost three archers.
