Chapter 0359 - Night Raid Battle!
The whole day passed like this, and Sima Ye didn't make any moves, just watched Bai Xiaofei arrange for a day.
If he could, how much he wanted to rush in and stop Bai Xiaofei!
With this day's arrangement, the difficulty of his siege has risen by at least one step!
However, Sima Ye is still confident!
But this faith will not be useful until the evening, and until then, it will be in vain......
The sun slowly sank in Sima Ye's expectation, and after the night became thicker, Sima Ye finally cheered up.
Victory or defeat may be known tonight!
"Ignition!"
On Bai Xiaofei's side, everything was going according to plan, and after the sky got dark, with an order, the pile of torches arranged during the day was lit up one after another, under the city wall, until the edge of the trebuchet's attack range was illuminated.
Bai Xiaofei is not stupid, he will not be naïve enough to think that Sima Ye will just forget it, and he doesn't think that Sima Ye has the patience to wait until tomorrow.
So, Sima Ye must have made a move tonight!
But these are the only things he can do, just like Sima Ye can't dig trenches during the day, he can't think of what kind of way Sima Ye will attack at night......
In the midst of the nervous waiting, the lookout on the city wall suddenly tightened his eyes.
"Stone-throwing!"
With the shouts of the lookouts, a rain of stones immediately fell in mid-air, but the target of this wave of attacks was not the city wall, but the torch erected by Bai Xiaofei!
"Tell the other three sides, don't do it lightly, test a wave of stones after hearing the sound, and wait until you are sure to see a large number of people and horses before continuing to attack, and at the same time be careful of assassins who may touch at any time, in case of high-level warriors or puppeteers approaching!"
Furrowed frowning, Bai Xiaofei blurted out a series of commands.
Relying on the remaining firelight, the distance that could be seen from the city wall was only a few hundred meters, which was simply not enough to cover the enemy's catapults!
The situation became troublesome!
Gradually, as the torches scattered by the catapult were completely extinguished, and the visual distance on the city wall was reduced by a large distance again, Sima Ye's side finally moved!
In the darkness, the only way to tell the enemy on the walls is to listen to the sounds!
For a while, the tense atmosphere on the city wall was quiet, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and the "crackling" sound of the torch burning was the only superfluous sound!
"Whew!"
The dull sound of the horn sounded, and the rhythmic march drum surrounded Bai Xiaofei's lonely city from all sides, and this time, Bai Xiaofei didn't even have the last means of judgment......
To fight or not to fight, that's the question!
If they don't fight, if the enemy is really approaching, it means that they will pass through a dangerous zone unharmed.
But if it is a false shot from Sima Ye, then Bai Xiaofei will waste a lot of stone throwing and other materials to defend the city!
No matter which one it is, it is not something that Bai Xiaofei can afford!
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofei made a difficult decision, although he didn't want to do it very much, but he really couldn't help it!
"Let the nightkin on the ramparts go down a third, change into their clothes, and prepare to guide the catapult!"
Assassins, born to die, are always ready to face death is their fate.
But this time, they're basically dead and never come back!
However, none of them complained, after Bai Xiaofei's order was issued, a hundred people from the four city walls touched the corners, and the trenches dug during the day and the fire destroyed by Sima Ye's catapult became their best cover.
After about ten minutes, red flames rose into the sky, and the people on the city wall reacted immediately.
Red Flame for a large force of the enemy!
In the next second, the trebuchet immediately became powerful, aiming in the direction where the fire rose!
At the same time, Sima Ye, who had only advanced less than a third of the way to safety, couldn't help but feel an urge to kill.
I really didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to use this method!
"Catapults! Attack! Cover the soldiers storming the walls!"
The trebuchet, which had already taken advantage of the cover of night, was whistling and launching, and this time, the target of the catapult was the city wall!
"Throwing !!"
The lookout shouted, and the next second, the roar of the stone and the rampart of the city wall rang out......
After the first round of stone-throwing, the walls responded quickly, and the counter-attack of the trebuchet took advantage of the gap in the opponent's loading to shoot out with the sound of howling wind.
And this time the stone throwing is on the fire oil!
I didn't use fire oil before because I was afraid of being noticed by the other party, but now that everyone has already attacked, it doesn't matter if I notice it or not, now the important thing is lethality!
Moreover, the firelight after the stone throwing landed on the ground can also allow Bai Xiaofei to roughly judge the enemy's situation!
But the difference is that Sima Ye doesn't dare to use fire oil!
Because that would reveal the location of their catapult, which is completely worth the cost in comparison!
In this way, in the projection of the two sides, Sima Ye paid for the casualties, and Bai Xiaofei's side was even more miserable, many trebuchets had been scrapped in the shooting, and even the heavy crossbows that had not played a role were scrapped.
Not to mention the casualties, although Bai Xiaofei did not let the city wall be full of people, but adopted the method of rotating defense in batches, but the city wall is so big, it is not so easy to hide, as long as the stones fall on the city wall, casualties are inevitable!
In addition, the biggest headache for Bai Xiaofei was the damage to the city wall.
The wall below is fine, but the damaged city head has caused Bai Xiaofei to lose a lot of positions, and these places will eventually become favorable locations for the other party to attack the city wall in the later stage!
"Haven't you figured out the location of the other party's catapult yet!!"
Dodging a wave of slings again, Bai Xiaofei stood up and yelled at the soldiers who were controlling the trebuchet.
No hurry, that's impossible!
"Found it! Found it!"
The soldier shouted with surprise, but before he could finish delivering the surprise, a boulder fell down and smashed him and several people around him into meat sauce......
"Damn, smash me back!"
Staring at the red-eyed Bai Xiaofei gave an order, the trebuchet, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally found a chance to take revenge, and the slings dragging the flame tail crossed a gorgeous arc in mid-air, smashing towards the opponent's catapult!
As for the other three sides, they were not much worse, and after paying a heavy price, they also found the location of the catapult!
After a round of stone throwing, many catapults were scrapped directly on the spot, but this was also equivalent to unsealing Sima Ye's fire oil bomb.
You've found it anyway, so there's no need to remain mysterious!
"Oiling !!"
