C10 Filling the trench
Thus, in Chang Wanguang's opinion, exchanging the life of an infantry soldier for the life of an archer was completely worth it. Even if he used the lives of ten infantry in exchange for the life of an archer, he would still be able to earn some money. Chang Wan Guang's thoughts were not wrong, but after sending out the infantry to attack, the archers of Pine Leaf City immediately aimed their crossbows at the incoming Song Army soldiers and began to shoot at them.
After losing the giant shield and crossbow, the archers naturally didn't suffer any more casualties. They began to attack even more brazenly. However, the arrows of these archers did not kill a single Giant Shield Crossbow Soldier. Although Chang Wan Guang who was below Pine Leaf City could not see whether the archers had caused any casualties to the huge shield crossbow soldiers above Pine Leaf City. At first, Chang Wanguang only believed in the archers under him, but he also saw that the archers' arrows had all hit the walls of Pine Leaf City.
Chang Wanguang believed that the shooting of the archers would definitely cause huge casualties. However, right now, Chang Wanguang was shooting his own archers. On top of the city walls, the number of arrows that were shooting down didn't decrease in the slightest. Although Chang Wanguang didn't know what methods the soldiers of the State of Frost used to block the arrows, he still didn't know.
However, upon realizing that his archers were unable to loosen the grip on the Frost Nation's soldiers, Chang Wanguang naturally did not waste his energy on his archers. Thus, Chang Wanguang ordered his archers to stop firing. After all, these archers had already begun drawing their bows and shooting arrows when they had attacked the city walls. Right now, these archers had already released six rounds of arrows, so Chang Wanguang let these archers rest. Although they were on standby, it was the most critical moment for them to launch an attack.
Seeing that the archers below the city had actually stopped firing, Chen Junlin couldn't help but exclaim, "The commander of the Song Army is not a simple person, he actually found out so quickly that their arrows could not hurt our giant shield crossbow soldiers. It seems like this time, we have to face a formidable opponent. "
After saying that, Chen Junlin turned his head and shouted at the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers, "All the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers, shoot freely!" Infantry soldiers advance, ready to block the Song soldiers' attack. " At this time, within the Song Army's army formation, twelve siege towers slowly appeared. After seeing the siege tower, Chen said, "This is bad."
The speed of the tower was very slow, so at this time, the soldiers of the Song Army had already rushed to the outskirts of the Pine Leaf City. However, these soldiers of the Song Army only liked to attack with their huge shields and crossbows. Although these soldiers had not received any special training, they all had a special aiming lens on their crossbow bolts. Therefore, these soldiers were able to accurately shoot and kill the soldiers of the Song Army below Pine Leaf City.
At this time, the soldiers of the Song Army were being shot down one by one. The purpose of Chang Wanguang sending out the Song Army soldiers was to let them fill up the trenches outside of Pine Leaf City so that he could get closer to the tower. However, under the constant firing from the huge shield and crossbow, thousands of soldiers of the Song Army were quickly killed while filling the trenches with mud.
The soldiers of the Song Army also had fear in their hearts. They started to flee when they didn't receive any orders. Seeing this, even though Chang Wanguang was unwilling, he did not stop them. Instead, he ordered the retreat of the army. After hearing the sound of Chang Wanguang's retreat, the Song soldiers who didn't escape immediately threw the sacks filled with dirt onto the ground and began to escape.
Seeing that the Song Army soldiers had started to retreat, Chen Junlin also ordered the soldiers to stop their attacks. Cheng Dongxing sighed and said, "Great, we managed to block the Song Army's attack this time." Chen Junlin sneered and said, "Not necessarily, Song Jun is the commander. Originally, by relying on the giant shield crossbow, we could have killed at least 3000 Song Army soldiers, but I didn't expect this commander to be so smart." is able to effectively preserve your own strength. "
"Looks like this time, it will not be an easy task for us to defend Pine Leaf City. I think that it will be very difficult for us to kill a large number of the Song Army." Chen Junlin's words weren't wrong. Although this attack didn't yield the slightest result, Chang Wanguang wasn't discouraged at all. After ordering the troops to retreat, Chang Wanguang fell silent. Seeing Chang Wanguang stand there silently, Chang Wanli walked over and said, "General, it's alright. In any case, we were only pretending to attack this time, we didn't think that we would be able to defeat Pine Leaf City in one breath."
Hearing Chang Wan Guang's words, Chang Wan Guang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not worried that we won't be able to take down Pine Leaf City. I'm thinking about how the army of the Frost Kingdom of Pine Leaf City managed to block our arrows." If we use our shields, we'll be able to block it. " Chang Wanli said indifferently.
Hearing Chang Wanli's words, Chang Wanguang smiled disapprovingly. From Chang Wanguang's point of view, although the shield could block the arrows, no matter how strong the shield was, it was impossible to block the arrows. Moreover, archers needed two hands to use their bows and arrows, so how could archers use shields?
Chang Wanguang's idea was right, but he didn't expect that the huge shield and crossbow soldier relied on the shield to block the arrows of the Song Army. After thinking for a while, Chang Wanguang was still unable to figure out how the Wind and Frost Nation's archers were able to block the arrows. However, Chang Wanguang knew that this wasn't the main problem. The main problem was how to take down Pine Leaf City.
Thinking of this, Chang Wanguang turned to one of his vice generals and said, "Collect some wooden planks nearby and modify the planks to make a huge shield so that the soldiers of the Song Army can obstruct them when they fill the trenches." Under Chang Wanguang's orders, the soldiers of the Song Army quickly constructed a large shield. Four hours after the retreat, the Song Army started attacking again.
On top of the walls of Pine Leaf City, Chen Junlin had long seen the construction of large-scale shields in the Song Army's military camp. Naturally, Chen Junlin was able to think of the uses of these shields. Thus, Chen Junlin directly let all of his giant shield crossbow soldiers go through the Pine Leaf City. Although these soldiers were standing in front of the Song Army soldiers, there were three trenches between them. Therefore, Chen Junlin did not need to worry about the Song Army soldiers attacking his soldiers.
Seeing the soldiers leave Pine Leaf City, Chang Wanli immediately laughed out loud. "Hahaha, what are these soldiers doing? What was behind them? Was it a wooden board? I had long since heard that the Windfrost Country was extremely poor, but I didn't expect that this Windfrost Country was poor to the point that they had to use wooden planks to make shields. "Look, the soldiers of the Windy Nation are wearing all sorts of different kinds of armor."
The person speaking had no intention to listen. After hearing the words of Chang Wanli, Chang Wanguang immediately thought of the matter that he had been thinking about before. That was, how did the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation block his bow and arrow? Although Chang Wanguang did not see how the huge shield and crossbow soldiers blocked the attack, he could imagine that the wooden planks on the back of those huge shield and crossbow soldiers were the means for them to block the attack.
Although the huge shield and crossbow soldiers had already walked out, Chang Wanguang still ordered his Song Army soldiers to rush towards the trench. After all, it was a necessity for the Pine Leaf City to attack. However, Chang Wanguang couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the country of Feng Shuang's garrison general. The main reason why he created such a shield was to block the crossbow bolts from Pine Leaf City.
As long as the soldiers of the Song Army raised their huge shields above their heads, they would be able to block the crossbow bolts of the Pine Leaf City. But now, Chen has sent the soldiers out of the Pine Leaf City, so that the soldiers can attack the soldiers on the flat surface. The holding shield in the hands of the soldiers of the Song Army lost its defense. After leaving Pine Leaf City, the giant shield crossbow soldier immediately shot the crossbow bolts with his good bowstring.
After the crossbows were shot out, the archers from the Song Army also shot their bows. However, after the crossbows were shot out, they turned around and used the huge shield on their backs to block all the arrows. Seeing this, Chang Wanguang finally understood the method of how these Wind Frost Kingdom soldiers used to block their bows and arrows. Earlier on, the crossbow bolts shot down by the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers in Pine Leaf City had all hit the ground.
However, now that the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldier and Sergeant Song were standing on the same level, the crossbow arrows shot out were also in a straight line. Under these circumstances, the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldier's crossbow arrows would naturally be even more powerful. Just the volley of arrows had killed more than three hundred soldiers of the Song Army. But this time, Chang Wanguang obviously wouldn't give up on his attack. Chang Wanguang immediately shouted, "Throw the corpses of the Song Army soldiers into the trenches." I can't help but fill up the entire trench, as long as I can fill in three paths that can allow the tower to pass through. "
"Retreat without authorization, kill without pardon." Now that Chang Wanguang had given the order, the soldiers of the Song Army naturally didn't dare to retreat. They could only brace themselves and endure the crossbow arrows of the giant shield and fill the trenches. Under the attack of the huge shield and crossbow soldiers, the soldiers of the Song Army continuously threw the bags filled with dirt and the corpses of the soldiers of the Song Army into the trenches.
Soon, the soldiers of the Song Army filled out three tunnels, but once these three tunnels were filled out, it caused the soldiers of the Song Army to lose over a thousand soldiers of the Song Army. Many soldiers of the Song Army were directly thrown into the trenches and buried alive before they were even shot to death by the crossbow arrows. After passing through this trench, the soldiers of the Song Army did not stop and continued to fill up the second trench.
While the soldiers of the Song Army were filling up the second trench, the giant shield crossbow soldier continued to shoot with the crossbow in his hand. The Song Army soldiers were constantly being killed by crossbow bolts. At the same time, the corpses of the Song Army soldiers were also continuously being filled into the trenches.
