Chapter 916

Anton's army dug out three trenches in front of the wagon, each of which was about thirty paces apart. In fact, the only one that is really called the trench is the last one close to the chest wall of the wagon, which is about four feet in width and depth. All the excavated soil is piled up on the wagon to form the chest wall. In fact, the two trenches in front are just two disordered ditches. Some places are only three or four feet deep, while some places are only one or two feet deep. The soil dug out is also piled everywhere. In this way, how can Ji Ling army keep clean when they walk on the pitted ground.

As long as the Jiling army is not well organized, there will be gaps in defense. For the bowmen of Anton's army, the opportunity will come. Therefore, Huang Zhong simply ordered the Bowman to launch an attack within 60 steps of the enemy's attack. First, the terrain would bring him opportunities. Second, the army that came to attack was not elite. The closer he got, the greater the pressure on them, and the greater the chance of winning.

As Huang Zhong expected, the 20000 Ji Ling army formed a series and slowly approached the Anton army's position. In the first row of the shield wall, Chen Laosan held his shield tightly and didn't dare to relax at all. He had already been told that Anton's crossbow was very sharp. If he wanted to survive, he had to hold his shield tightly and keep close to his companion's shield. He didn't give the other side an opportunity, otherwise the coalition's Crossbow would take advantage of the opportunity.

However, as the distance between their shield wall and the enemy gets closer and closer, the enemy's Crossbow never comes. However, with the distance getting closer and closer, Chen Laosan's heart became more and more nervous. Although he was only an ordinary guard, he was also a veteran who had been in the army for several years. He knew that the attack distance of the crossbow and arrow was generally about 100 steps, but now their shield wall was 80 steps away, but the other side still didn't shoot.

He knew that the closer the distance was, the more powerful the crossbow was. He had seen zepao in the army shoot a shield directly through with the crossbow at a distance of 50 steps. Now the shield wall of his army has already entered the attack range of the crossbow, but the enemy still didn't attack. He must have thought that the distance of these people would be closer to make the crossbow more powerful.

At the thought of this, Chen Laosan felt that his back was cool, and he kept cool from the top of his head to his tailbone. As a veteran who has been in the army for many years, he can live to this day by virtue of his ability to avoid evil and seek good fortune.

After being moved and upset, Chen Laosan's eyes began to look around and observe the situation around him. Just at this time, Chen Laosan suddenly found that a soldier beside him suddenly staggered and rushed forward. Chen Laosan squinted at the soldier, and suddenly found that the road ahead had become uneven. The soldier was in a ditch two feet deep, and then rushed out.

Chen Laosan screamed that it was not good. Just as he was about to find a way, his feet were empty, and his body fell forward involuntarily. Chen Laosan knew that he had also stepped on the air. He made up his mind quickly. With a scream, he took the opportunity to fall out. Then he quickly fell to the ground and covered his body with a shield.

Just after finishing this, Chen Laosan heard the sound of "whoosh" in the air, and then, like hail falling on the roof, "Bang Bang His voice kept ringing around him, and then the screams came one after another.

Ji Lingjun has entered the first trench. Although the soldiers have been advancing carefully, their sight is covered behind the shield. Many soldiers still can't see the changes at their feet clearly. Therefore, dozens of the soldiers in the first row broke away from the shield wall because they stepped on the air. In this way, a large number of defects appeared in the neat shield wall Huang Zhong immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the crossbow soldiers to attack Ji Lingjun.

At his command, thousands of catapults poured out their arrows to Ji Ling army. Thousands of catapults, like locusts, rushed to Ji Ling's soldiers. Originally, the gap caused by the soldiers' fall became a fatal gap. Although the latter soldiers tried to rush up to fill the gap left by their robes, they could not be faster than the flying crossbow.

Almost in an instant, thousands of crossbows and arrows shot more than a hundred soldiers to the ground, and the original small gaps expanded infinitely. Then, the second round of arrow rain soon came, and the number of injured taxis increased sharply. Then came the third and fourth rounds.

More than 20000 crossbows and arrows have been poured out on Ji Lingjun's vanguard soldiers after the four rounds of arrow rain. The first row of 2000 soldiers have almost fallen down more than half after the four rounds of arrow rain.

At this time, the forward generals also responded and quickly directed the second soldier to continue to move forward to fill the vacancy left when the former soldier fell.

It's a pity that although the second row of soldiers soon put up the shield wall again, it's difficult for them to form a strict shield wall now, because the ground under their feet has become uneven, so they have to be careful when they walk, let alone line up the shield wall.

The dilemma of Ji Lingjun's forward was seen by the generals of both sides. Huang Zhong just ordered the crossbow to continue shooting. However, considering the continuity of the attack, he ordered the crossbow soldiers to slow down the attack speed to maintain the continuous pressure on Ji Lingjun.

Ji Ling, on the other hand, looks at his soldiers struggling in the rain of Anton's arrows. In his opinion, as long as he can achieve his goal, these casualties are necessary.After a few rounds of arrows, Ji Ling waved his hand: "Ji Bao, Li Gui, heavy infantry out!"

"Not to be ordered!" When they heard Ji Ling's military order, they immediately set out to take orders. Ji Bao and Li Gui are the most important generals of Ji Ling, except Chen lanleibo, who are subordinate to Ji Ling. Otherwise, they would not be assigned to the two counties by Ji Ling for defense.

Now that it's back, it's time to lead the heavy infantry again. As for Lei Bo, he will lead the front camp together with Li Feng and take part in the attack as the last fighting force.

Then Ji Ling ordered: "Yuan Shen, listen to the order! After 20 steps with the heavy infantry, the imperial army will go out. Once the heavy infantry break through the enemy's defense line, the imperial army will attack with all its strength and open the enemy's defense line completely! "

"Not to be ordered!" Ji Ling next to a Yulin military academy captain Ma set out to receive orders.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the war, Ji Ling sent out his two most powerful troops. It's not that he didn't want to fight step by step, but that time doesn't allow. Now it's getting dark. If he can't break into Anton's army as soon as possible, there will be too many variables at night.
