Chapter 627: Big Gamble?

"Strange! Why did they stop attacking the city? Why don't I go talk to Rong Zhen?" Zhao Bufan said.

In the cold autumn, Nangong Xue and Qin Xian'er looked at him with white eyes, what about playing? The two armies are fighting, just talk about it?

Of course, Zhao Bufan is just talking, after all, he is not a fool.

"Don't let your guard down! They may be waiting for something. Leng Qiu squinted his eyes and looked at Rong Zhen's army, he was thinking, Rong Zhen was not waiting for news from Gu Yue's side? Well, there is a possibility.

"Their supply lines are stretched too long. Can't afford to consume. It won't be long before we charge again. Everyone cheered me up. Leng Qiu shouted.

The hands of the soldiers holding bows were covered with sweat, and their nerves were even tighter.

"Strange? Why aren't they in a hurry to do it? Could it be that they are waiting for dark?" Leng Qiu looked at the sky, it was not too early, Rong Zhen might want to launch a surprise attack at night.

............

"General, what now?" After talking with Rong Zhen, the general had long lost his enthusiasm for attacking.

"If Shura City can resist my Rong army for a month, then I will take a gamble, even if it is possible to become a sinner through the ages, I will never let the Rong family be destroyed in my hands. Rong Zhen looked at Shura City with a determined expression, "Inform the soldiers! Rest first, and when night falls, launch a charge against Shura City!"

"Yes!" the general replied, and ran to give the order.

Anyway, it's death horizontally and vertically, so it's better to bet on it!

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the five fingers were almost out of sight.

"General, is it time to charge?" the general asked.

Rong Zhen said: "Their bows and arrows have a long range, and rashly charging is extremely unfavorable to our army. Suppress the formation with a strong crossbow first. And then let the soldiers attack the city!"

"Yes!" the general trotted to give the order, "Prepare the crossbow!"

The strong crossbowmen of the Rong army quickly prepared.

"Fire!" shouted the general, and one after another crossbow arrows shot out.

The range of the crossbow is comparable to that of the purple longbow.

Whoosh!

"What sound?" Zhao Bufan felt that something was flying towards this side, and immediately reached out to pick it up, and was taken aback, "I'll go! Boss! Their range seems to be farther than ours!"

The strong crossbow volley, some soldiers in Shura City couldn't react, and they were directly shot through the body by the crossbow arrows.

A popping sound sounded, and casualties began to appear on the side of Shura City.

"It's not okay to go on like this!Everyone join me and shoot at the Imperial City army!" Leng Qiu yelled as he heard the footsteps of the Rong army's charge.

It's just that, as soon as they got together, many soldiers were pierced through their bodies by strong crossbows.

"Boss! No, we have no room to fight back!" Zhao Bufan shouted anxiously.

Because the soldiers who bragged with him before fell in front of his eyes one by one.

"Xue'er! I'm going to attack at all!" Leng Qiu shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Nangong Xue and Zhao Bufan replied at the same time.

"Ice falls!"

"Yan Yong!"

"The beacon is decided!"

The three of them quickly got up and launched an attack on the Rong army.

After delivering the blow, the three of them quickly crouched down again, dodging the attack of the crossbow with the help of the city wall.

Leng Qiu was shocked into a sweat, two crossbow arrows were slashed against his face just now, and they almost pierced his head.

Nangong Xue's situation was similar, except that she used ice to resist the crossbow arrows.

In contrast, Zhao Bufan was much more rude, and directly caught those crossbow arrows with his hands.

"Boss, wouldn't we? We've been completely suppressed. Zhao Bufan's face was a little ugly, he thought that only they had a purple longbow with a long distance, but it turned out to be a little shorter than others, and the advantage he had just established was gone in an instant.

"Wait! Their troops are charging, and they can't keep firing. Leng Qiu said.

To be honest, Leng Qiu didn't expect it to be like this, which was completely different from what he expected.

"How's the situation?" Qin Xian'er also rushed to the top of the city.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Bufan quietly touched Qin Xian'er's side, and pulled her to his side, for fear that she would receive a little bit of harm.

"How can you let me sleep? Qin Xian'er muttered her mouth.

When it was getting late, Zhao Bufan forcibly let her go to rest.

Leng Qiu also asked Nangong Xue to rest first, but Nangong Xue didn't listen, and Leng Qiu couldn't do anything about her.

"Don't make any noise! The Imperial City army is much stronger than I thought. Let the soldiers put away their bows and arrows and prepare to fight against the imperial army!" Leng Qiu said anxiously.

The sound of the crossbow became more and more sparse, and on the surface, they were ready to climb to the top of the city.

"General, the army of this Shura City is simply vulnerable, and its combat effectiveness is also a mess

Tu, do you really want to cooperate with such an army?" the general began to worry again.

"We're just holding them down with the help of a crossbow. With such a fierce burst of fire, our strong crossbowmen simply won't last long. Then is the best chance to test their strength. Rong Zhen said.

"Let's hope they won't disappoint the general!" said the general.

Sure enough!

The army of the Imperial City soon rushed to the head of the city.

The soldiers of Shura City were ready for hand-to-hand combat as early as Leng Qiu's instructions, and almost as soon as the Imperial City army stepped on the city, Leng Qiu shouted: "Kill!"

The soldiers of Shura City waved their weapons to meet the army of the Imperial City.

In the past few days of training, the physical fitness of the soldiers has long been incomparable, they were only suppressed by the crossbow before, and they held their breath, but now they are engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and naturally they will not lose to the army of the Imperial City.

No, as soon as the Imperial City army rushed to the top of the city, before they could gain a firm foothold, more than a dozen bright blades were slashed at them.

For a time, a fierce offensive and defensive battle was launched on the head of Shura City.

When the dawn shone on the head of Shura City, this tragic offensive and defensive battle came to an end, and the end naturally ended with the defeat of Rong Zhen's army.

"Their tenacity has far exceeded my expectations. The general said.

"Hmm. In terms of combat capability, they are no worse than our army, and now, do you think they are qualified to be our allies?"

The general said, "That's because the general just wants to test their strength." Otherwise, this Shura City would have been breached long ago. ”

Rong Zhen shook his head slightly, "You're thinking too simply. With the current level of combat in Shura City, if we take it by force, we will lose at least half of our men and horses. The cost is too great for us to afford to lose. ”

The general was silent, and Rong Zhen was telling the truth, "But, if it goes on like this, in less than half a month, our soldiers will be exhausted!"

Rong Zhen said: "Yes. So, that's the end of the test. ”

"And what is the general going to do?" the general asked.

"Find a way to go into town and talk to them!"

"No! it's too risky. In case they are against the general..."

Besides, it is destined to be a big gamble, but the odds of winning are very small. But there's still value worth betting. ”

The general was silent again.
