Chapter 551 The Mysterious Great Wall

However, since there was a city wall to defend, Ying Tang and Li Sicai were full of confidence in intercepting the mission, so they dared to imagine that they could pretend that the defense was not strong enough to hold back the Qingyang soldiers and consume them all.

Probably only the thousand cavalry led by Bai Gang were the real elite of the entire bandit army.

For this reason, the chaos caused by the Qingyang Cavalry actually wiped out more than a hundred bandit soldiers, including those who were injured and could no longer fight.

When the bandit defenders approached the Qingyang heavy infantry, their momentum was finally hindered because they could push their companions but not the corpses.

After pushing away the corpse, we moved forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, these bandit soldiers discovered that after guarding the city wall, they did not bring large shields due to load-bearing issues, but only weapons such as crossbows, straight knives, and small bucklers.

Not only could such a weapon be unable to withstand crossbow fire during a confrontation, it was also no match for the Changge Shield.

That Chang Ge is the legendary real death sickle. It can stab, chop, chop, hook, and even more terrifyingly, it can peck.

This kind of peck can bypass the warrior's shield and cause damage.

For this reason, the bandits at every end of the city have tasted this feeling.

At the same time, they not only had to deal with the attack of fifty Qingyang heavy infantry and three hundred light infantry on the city, but also defended against the shooting of one hundred Qingyang heavy infantry and three hundred Qingyang light infantry below the city.

How can we prevent this?

The Qingyang soldiers under the city were already shooting unscrupulously on the earthen bag. After a person stood on the one and a half meter earthen bag, plus his height, the position of the crossbow arrow was about one foot high, which was almost the same as the Great Wall!

As you can imagine, there is a section of the city wall where corpses are constantly piling up.

After the corpses were piled high, the people behind were unable to move forward and had to clean up the corpses.

For this reason, even though the Qingyang infantry could not advance, the two ends of this section of the Great Wall were easily and firmly blocked.

Bai Miaoci was so shocked that he never thought that the attack and defense of the Great Wall would lead to such a miraculous situation, and this kind of attack method could be thought of by anyone who wanted to attack the Great Wall, right?

If it were still a large force that far surpassed Zhang Jingtao's army, and was much better trained than the Qingyang soldiers, I'm afraid it would be extremely easy.

Damn it! Why is this Great Wall so defenseless?

Bai Miaoci was really shocked.

I even thought about it, so in ancient times, the ancestors of China clearly knew that the defensive role of the Great Wall was minimal, so why did they spend so much energy to build the Great Wall?

What is the purpose of the Great Wall?

Bai Miaoci was surprised. When he looked at the Great Wall again, he felt it was extremely mysterious.

Of course, this heavy infantry attack on the wall cannot be said to be a two-pronged attack, because the end where Ying Tang is located is blocked by a sentry tower. The troops on the other side of the sentry tower failed to keep up for a while, and the Qingyang soldiers had already pushed forward.

Including the Qingyang soldiers at the bottom of the city, they also advanced to within a hundred meters of the sentry tower, and Zhang Jingtao was also among them.

"Fuck! Let's run away? How could this happen?" Ying Tang was on the watchtower on the side, looking pale as the heavy infantry approached.

"But, it's not easy to escape." Li Si's face didn't look good either. He discovered for the first time that what was said in the military books may not be true. The Great Wall mentioned in the Confucian books was originally meant for fighting.

The other party is talking nonsense!

Ying Tang finally regretted entering the sentry tower. I don’t know how this sentry tower was designed. The hole into the sentry tower was actually higher than the battlements, with brick steps going up. Didn’t he understand that this raised brick platform would

Are people going in and out exposed to bows and arrows?

And it can only pass one person. It is said that the Great Wall can be used for horse racing to convey messages. It seems that the ancient Chinese did not use this at all.

Indeed, China has had telephones for a long time. As a high-ranking member of the family, Ying Tang knows this. If it were not for the warlords' rebellion, why would the Chinese people need the Great Wall as a post station to convey messages? For this reason, the sentry tower on the Great Wall is only for

It can be used for windproof resting, and the entrance is designed to be so narrow.

It was precisely because of this that Ying Tang's troops failed to keep up.

But the Chinese ancestors who built the Great Wall seemed not to consider this at all.

This Great Wall is not in the defensive circle of the big city. It is built in the wilderness. I really don’t know what it is used for.

Li Si was extremely surprised and had no idea why this happened.

No matter what the two of them thought, the cavalry under the city had already charged.

However, although the entire sentry tower was on the edge of the attack surface of the Qingyang soldiers below the city, the escape hatches on both sides of the sentry tower were exposed to the attack range of the Qingyang soldiers.

For a while, although the Qingyang heavy infantry on the city were unable to attack immediately due to the accumulation of corpses on the city, it was only a matter of time since these Qingyang soldiers were already cleaning up the corpses.

Ying Tang shuddered as he looked at the charging cavalry, although the speed of these cavalry did not seem to be fast, just like outing or autumn outing.

Indeed, so far, the Qingyang soldiers have probably only killed one light infantryman, who died because he jumped onto the mound too early to shoot an arrow, and the rest only injured less than thirty light infantrymen. They seemed to be very

They are good at using steel helmets to dodge arrows. This is probably the skill they usually train the most. For this reason, they can really relax under such battle damage.

Especially when the infantry of the two sides collided on the city wall, the opponent's fearless momentum and well-prepared large shield and long sword were simply a nightmare for our own infantry. We saw that the heavy infantry advanced all the way without stopping.

If the Qingyang warriors below the city hadn't shot and killed a pile of corpses on the city, hindering them, Ying Tang suspected that all the soldiers on the Great Wall would have been rolled over by a rolling stone, and they would have fallen to the bottom of the city like dumplings.

But this heavy infantry was very well-trained. Ying Tang was very suspicious. It was composed of Zhao Min's guards, and they were all masters. It was conceivable that ordinary warriors were no match for them!

Thinking about it again, there is indeed a rolling stone on the top of the watchtower, which was brought by Li Si.

At that time, Ying Tang felt that this organization was too insidious and powerful.

But at this moment, it seems that the rolling stone cannot go down unless there are no soldiers in front of it, or even if all the soldiers are dead, with the corpses and broken bricks falling from the wall, the rolling stone can be easily stuck.

Ying Tang and Li Si never thought of this when they set up the Rolling Stone. At that time, the two of them had a good understanding of each other and laughed deceitfully at each other, playing very proudly.

Of course, the two of them couldn't laugh at this moment, they just looked at each other.

Shit! Why are these strategies different from those in the book?

Ying Tang broke out in sweat and shouted anxiously: "What should I do? I have threatened Zhang Zheng severely. If this man catches me, he will never let me go!"
