Chapter 851 Those guys must have a problem with their brains! !
In this extremely high-pressure environment, what the soldiers need is actually an opportunity to vent their emotions and use it to strengthen their will! Implement their consciousness!
Just like the slogan of the Xianzhen Camp, Shi Lei's shouting completely met this requirement invisibly.
With the effect of "boosting morale", the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who shouted in unison seemed to have received a shot of cardiotonic. With the deafening shouts of killing, they maintained the spear formation and quickly advanced! The sharp steel spearheads were sharper than the original iron spears. In the narrow space of the city gate, the spear formation composed of neatly arranged spears exuded a deadly aura. The two sides soon fought together! In an instant, blood splattered, and the madness of the greenskins was simply chilling.
They seemed to have no idea what death was and continued to launch attacks against the Great Zhou's spear formation. During this time, an endless stream of greenskins poured into the city gate passage frantically.
Although the strength of these greenskins is not as strong as the greenskin who fought with Jie Liancheng, they should not be underestimated.
For the new recruits who have little practical experience, facing such an enemy is definitely a nightmare.
Inside the city gate, the spear formation's advance was blocked and for a moment, they couldn't push out.
Shi Lei's face became solemn as he watched this scene.
According to his tactical thinking, he wanted to take advantage of the special environment of the city gate passage and use the advancing spear formation to force those greenskins to the city gate entrance.
The fire in the fire pit was still very intense. As long as they pushed forward and blocked the gate with a spear array, if the greenskins wanted to continue to force their way through the city gate, they would have to face the frontal thrust of the spear array, the continuous burning of the flames, and the triple attack of the huge stones and wooden stakes on the wall! However, his plan went wrong in the first step...
The greenskins' attack was more crazy than he had expected, so crazy that Shi Lei couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with those guys' brains.
No, there must be something wrong with those guys' brains!!
If they continue to fight at this pace, they will probably be in great danger. They must change their strategy!
[Let the soldiers temporarily withdraw from the city gate passage and launch a three-bow crossbow attack? ]
The greenskins on the opposite side are almost crowding the city gate passage. At this time, if the three-bow crossbow launches an attack, it will definitely cause considerable damage to the opposite side.
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Shi Lei immediately realized that it was not possible.
[No, the attack of the three-bow crossbow cannot fill the entire city gate passage, and those greenskins are not afraid of death at all. When the three-bow crossbow bursts out to attack, they will most likely rush directly into the city. ]
The individual combat power of these greenskins is obviously greater than that of these human soldiers. The reason why their garrison can still contain the offensive of the greenskins is because they have effectively restricted the opposite side with the help of the city walls and city gates.
Once these greenskins rush into the city and a melee breaks out, based on the current strength of the city defense forces, they will most likely be defeated by the enemy in a short period of time. He cannot take this risk! As his thoughts raced, Shi Lei's sight fell on Jie Liancheng who was standing aside.
"Lieutenant Colonel, can you still lead the troops into battle now?"
Xie Liancheng could certainly see that the current situation was not optimistic. Although they had temporarily stabilized their position, they could not push their spear formation out of the city gate passage.
He had seen the vitality and physical fitness of those greenskins. If the stalemate continued, they would most likely be the first to collapse.
Knowing this, Xie Liancheng gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Let me lead the troops into battle!"
Hearing this, Li Tie, who was standing nearby, was suddenly startled and subconsciously turned his head to look at Jie Liancheng.
"Lieutenant Colonel Xie, is this really okay?"
Shi Lei, who was on the top of the wall, might not have been able to understand the situation clearly, but he could see it clearly from below.
The other party's current condition is definitely not as good as it looks.
When Xie Liancheng heard this, he grinned.
"Of course no problem, who am I? I'm Jie Liancheng!"
As Xie Liancheng spoke, he stretched his body vigorously.
During this process, beads of sweat the size of beans could not be stopped from appearing on his forehead.
The greenskin he had just fought with was probably a general, a fierce general on the opposing side. He was very powerful, and he almost took his life when he risked his life in the battle.
Although the whole fight was short, in order to kill the opponent, Xie Liancheng pushed himself to the limit, and even exceeded his limit at the last moment! Otherwise, he would have been the one to die.
This also put a huge burden on his body.
As he stretched his body, Xie Liancheng felt as if his body was being torn apart.
He could endure this kind of pain, but what he was more worried about now was another situation, which was that his body had become stiff and he had completely lost his usual flexibility.
Xie Liancheng tried to get rid of the stiffness of his body by stretching his muscles, but now it seems that the effect is not very good.
But even so, his fighting ability is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. If ordinary soldiers can fight, why can't he fight?
Feeling Jie Liancheng's determination, Li Tie stopped dissuading him and turned to Shi Lei to volunteer.
"Colonel, please allow me to fight with you!"
Shi Lei is not a fool. From the simple communication just now, he also vaguely felt that Jie Liancheng's condition might not be right.
But what choice do they have now? The battlefield is never a merciful place. Once the war starts, the enemy doesn't care whether you are in good condition or not!
"Okay, you all lead the troops to fight. Don't charge head-on for now. Equip yourself with two more arrows and focus on horseback archery first!"
After receiving the order, Xie Liancheng immediately jumped on his horse without saying a word.
"Cavalry, follow me!"
At this moment, all the people inside Yuancheng had already been evacuated, which allowed them to ride their horses freely in the city without any worries.
Under the leadership of Xie Liancheng, the cavalry troops left the city through the side gate at the fastest speed.
At the same time, on a small hill farther away from Yuancheng, a burly figure with a beard and hair was holding a monocular telescope in his hand, observing the situation in Yuancheng.
"Found it. The greenskins have begun to attack the city, and the human troops are resisting the attack."
Another figure nearby heard this and immediately pulled the reins in his hand.
"Then what are we waiting for? Take action quickly. Facing the greenskins, the human army won't be able to hold out for long!"
In response, the figure holding the monocular telescope waved his hand.
"No hurry, the humans have sent out cavalry, let's wait and see what happens."
