Chapter 721: Victory in the First Battle
However, in the case of such a headwind, the range has to be reduced by 80 meters, and with the opponent's downwind range, the difficulty is increased by at least 300 meters.
If you want to advance 700 meters under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly more difficult than climbing to the sky.
The archers soon ran to the rear of the Dunjia soldiers, and no one showed their heads, so they all hid behind the Dunjia soldiers and walked slowly.
Pushed into about a hundred meters like this, the casualties have exceeded the expected level, although there is a shield to protect, but after all, this is a headwind, and the arrows are very dense, it is easy for people to be killed and injured.
Seeing the soldiers fall one after another, Zhang Zhao was distressed and anxious, and just when he couldn't help but shout to retreat, the direction of the wind suddenly changed.
The east wind has risen, and the wind is more than twice as strong as the west wind just now.
"Cavalry dispatch!"
Five hundred cavalry rode war horses and launched a charge, although the number was small, but the momentum was comparable to the galloping of ten thousand horses.
Almost as soon as the cavalry charged, the three thousand archers who were hiding behind the Dunjia soldiers all showed their heads and shot the first arrow.
At the moment when the arrow was fired, the cavalry was also approaching as scheduled, and all the Dunjia soldiers below threw away the shields in their hands and launched the final charge.
It is rare for the three armies to rush together, and the rain of arrows in the direction of the wind is the first to reach the city, and many enemy troops are killed in an instant, while more arrows are pierced into the city wall, and from a distance, the city wall seems to have become a hedgehog.
At this time, Hua Yuerong, who was charging at the front, had already come to the city wall, only to see her rise to charge, step on the horse's back and jump high, with the help of those arrows piercing the city wall, between three or five steps, she jumped onto the city wall.
At the moment when Hua Yuerong went up to the city wall, he raised his hand and fell, and he cut off the head of the enemy general.
Seeing that this 10,000 army took the head of the enemy general from it as if he was probing for something, Zhang Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, many cavalry members climbed the city wall with the help of arrows, and engaged in fierce battles with the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, Hua Yuerong stepped up to the top of the city wall and shouted: "Your general is dead, throw down your weapons and surrender if you don't want to die." ”
At first, there were still many people in the enemy army who wanted to resist hard, but it can be seen that Zhang Zhao's men and horses had broken through the city gates, and a large number of troops poured into the city before surrendering.
The general is dead, and the enemy did not cause much killing after breaking through the gates, so there is no need to hold on any longer.
Looking at the sky, Zhang Zhao grinned and said, "It didn't take more than half an hour before and after the siege, which can be regarded as a miracle." ”
"Alas........"
The city was captured, but Bai Xing let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I still made a mistake, Dongfeng came three minutes later than I expected, otherwise so many brothers would not have died." ”
"Don't blame yourself too much, there are few things in nature that are accurate, accurate to the minute, and you are more accurate than the weather forecast. ”
The casualties of the war were inevitable, and Bai Xing's prediction was only three minutes wrong, and it was precisely because of these three minutes that his own soldiers died at least a hundred more than a hundred more.
But this is already a miracle for prophets and predictions.
Even modern technology can only accurately measure the weather to three hours, but Bai Xing can be accurate to the minute, shortening the error to less than three minutes, so it seems that he is definitely a god.
In other words, if the city had been attacked normally, without the help of the east wind, then their death toll would have to increase at least tenfold.
"Let's go, go over and see how it goes!"
When the two came to the city gate, Hua Yuerong had already brought out all the soldiers who had surrendered.
From beginning to end, their army did not enter the city more than ten meters away, and compared to those who entered the city to rob wealth and kill innocents, this army was simply a righteous army.
"Five thousand men surrendered, and the rest were killed during the siege. ”
Looking at the 5,000 surrendered soldiers, Zhang Zhao nodded and shouted loudly: "Now I give you a chance to join us, double your military salary, and your family, wife and children can move to Rongchang City." The whole family, one person joins the army, the whole family arranges work, from now on, do not worry about food and clothing, and are willing to come and sign up. ”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the remote city were all stunned.
They surrender just to get a chance to survive, not to ask how good they can be, just to live in the world is already great.
But now, the other party has offered such generous conditions, so the fool will not agree.
"I, I'm joining you!"
At that moment, a high-pitched voice shouted, and then more and more voices shouted to join Zhang Zhao's camp.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, turned to Bai Xing and said, "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to the mountain gate." ”
"Well, don't worry, in three days, it's not a problem to win two more cities!"
The remote city has been decided, which has made a good start to his war, and it has even played a miracle of breaking through the city gate in an hour and a half, so Zhang Zhao can leave with confidence.
After returning to the mountain gate, Zhang Zhao came directly to the Divine Emperor Palace.
At this time, Qing Kite and Yuluo, who were guarding in the desert, had returned, and Lang Xin, Chen Yang, and Long Zhan and his wife had also returned to the Ziyang faction, and they were temporarily living in Qing Kite's other garden.
The palace of the Divine Emperor was empty, and Zhang Zhao found the courtyard in the rear, but he didn't see any trace of the Xuannu.
Just as he was about to go out to ask someone, Xuannu had already stepped on the flying sword and flew back from the sky.
"Where have you been?"
After the Xuannu landed, she said lightly: "I went to the Muhua Sect to inquire about the advanced sect trial, the Vermilion Bird trial is just free, and it can be passed early tomorrow morning." ”
The ascension of the sect is a very complicated, but simple process.
It is necessary for all the people in the sect to participate in the trial, and if it succeeds, it will be automatically upgraded, and from then on, the aura and luck will be increased to varying degrees, if it fails, then no one in this sect will be able to come out alive.
Therefore, many sects choose to participate in the upgrade trial when their strength is much higher than the trial, after all, it is related to the lives of everyone in the entire sect, so they dare not have any sloppiness.
As for the trial, the local sect will have four levels of trial scenes, which are named after the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu.
Paishengmen needs to challenge the third-level trial, that is, Suzaku, and the Sect needs to go through the White Tiger Trial, and the Zongsheng Gang needs to participate in the Blue Dragon Trial.
When you reach the gang, you are basically the first force, and as for the formation of a sect, it is not something that can be formed through a certain trial, it requires unremitting efforts to develop prestige, accumulate wealth, and build little by little before it can finally be defined as a sect.
