Chapter 685: Take the initiative

Bang bang bang

A series of boulders were thrown up by trebuchets and smashed heavily against the walls. "Words * love * first * hair

The walls of Litian City are much shorter and thinner than those of Tianhua.

As a result, these boulders immediately caused great damage to the walls of the Celestial City.

For every boulder that fell, a dozen soldiers were severely injured.

With the cover of the trebuchet, the soldiers of the Golden Wolf Tribe below finally rushed up to the city tower along the ladder of the city.

But as soon as they came up, they were immediately assassinated by more than a dozen spears.

Although the archers could no longer shoot arrows in such a dense manner because of the trebuchets, the pikemen on the walls could still deal with the soldiers who climbed up a little farther away.

"Almost." Yun Qing watched the soldiers of the Golden Wolf Tribe in the distance rushing frantically under the city wall because someone had rushed to the city wall, and said with a slight smile: "It's time for our trebuchet to be powerful." And siege crossbows, also ready. ”

When Xiao Lan heard this, he immediately ordered: "The trebuchet is ready, and the siege crossbow is aimed at the opposite general." ”

Boom, boom, boom

With Xiao Lan's order, the soldiers in charge of trebuchets and siege crossbows, who had already been red in their eyes and couldn't hold back, immediately began to attack.

As soon as the trebuchet in Litian City moved, the soldiers of the Golden Wolf Tribe outside were immediately hit by the devastating blows.

Although the soldiers of the Golden Wolf Tribe outside the city could not be said to be crowded, there was a distance of more than half a step between each of them.

At this distance, the boulder thrown by the trebuchet can be said to be smashed one piece.

And that's not even the scariest of all.

After all, trebuchets are not easy to aim, and it is difficult to say whether the boulders thrown out can be smashed into the densest places.

But siege crossbows are different.

The arm-thick, spear-like crossbow could be aimed at and had a range of a thousand paces, which was simply the most terrifying.

Although the power is not so strong when it is a thousand steps away, at this time, the soldiers of Litian City did not expect to shoot the Golden Wolf King in the distance with crossbow arrows, but aimed at the generals of the Golden Wolf Tribe who led the army to charge.

laugh at

A crossbow bolt came and pierced a general in the chest.

The crossbow bolt was still undeterred, and it carried his body through three soldiers in succession, and then it was stuck diagonally on the ground.

Giant crossbows accompanied by boulders became a terrible nightmare for the soldiers of the Golden Wolf Tribe.

The Golden Wolf King looked at the scene in front of him, and his face was extremely pale.

"How is it possible, where did Beihai get so many trebuchets and siege crossbows, even if Yunqing used that auction to give Beihai a large amount of gold coins before. But in such a short period of time, it is impossible to buy so many trebuchets and siege crossbows with more gold. What the hell is going on?"

The generals around the Golden Wolf King looked at each other one by one, and they didn't understand it either.

Time is too short.

In such a short period of time, even if you buy it, you can't ship it. Not to mention that it is not always possible to buy so much in such a short period of time.

Because even if there are countries that sell these things, they will not ship them in large quantities.

The number of takeaways must be strictly controlled over a period of time.

And transportation is also a problem, to be transported to the North Sea without being noticed at all, the Golden Wolf King feels that unless they go by sea, it is impossible for him to be undetected.

But if it is from the sea, it can only mean that these things were bought from Tianhua or Piaoyun.

But whether it is Tianhua or Piaoyun, they have been in the middle of it for the past few years, and these things will definitely not be sold. Because it's not enough for yourself.

Because of this, the Golden Wolf King and those generals couldn't figure out where Li Xiaotian got those trebuchets and siege crossbows.

It's just that he never dreamed that Li Xiaotian secretly supported several horse thief forces, and obtained a large amount of money through the raiding of horse thieves, so as to buy weapons and these siege equipment in various countries.

And before he announced, these things were not visible. Therefore, he only secretly bought it for preparation, and did not ship it to Litian City.

It wasn't until after he announced that he wanted to establish a kingdom that he planned to transport these things to Litian City.

It's just that he didn't expect things to change, and finally Yunqing got those things, but Li Xiaotian committed suicide in the end.

Seeing a large number of Golden Wolf Tribal soldiers fall under the city wall, Meng Fan sighed: "Li Xiaotian supported horse thieves to rob merchants and mutilate innocent people to accumulate money. These things are protected by the people of Litian City today. It can be regarded as taking it from the people and giving it to the people. ”

"He was meant to defend the city." Yun Qing sighed: "This may be the reason why the people of the North Sea support him." He made a thousand mistakes, but after all, he did not harm the people of the Beihai Sea. In the eyes of the people of Beihai, he is a good lord, but in our eyes, he deserves death. ”

"yes." Meng Fan sighed: "Maybe one day, you will also think that I also deserve death." ”

"again." Yun Qing said angrily: "Don't say that in the future." Is there anything that can't be discussed?"

Mengfan was silent.

As the two of them spoke, the offensive of the Golden Wolf Tribe below suddenly intensified.

It was a strong attack at any cost and sparing no effort.

Many soldiers carried logs as rams and rushed to the walls.

Obviously, the Golden Wolf King's patience had almost worn out.

Although he knew that most of the soldiers would die in the middle of the process, as long as two or three teams rushed to the gate and smashed it open, the mission was done.

In his opinion, the battle was over.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow. Stop them from rushing anyway. Seeing this, Xiao Lan immediately ordered.

Looking at the soldiers who rushed over carrying logs, Yun Qing laughed: "It's time, open the city gate." It's time to take the initiative. ”

"What" Xiao Lan was stunned when she heard this: "Take the initiative"

"Of course, they abandoned their horses for the siege, isn't this a good time to take the initiative?"

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed down the city tower: "Listen, when I am away, Duke Yunqing's order is my order." ”

"The Tempest Troops listen to me and attack with me."

"Use those horses with crossbows for shooting horses, just in case." Yun Qing saw that Xiao Lan couldn't wait to get out of the city, and hurriedly said.

Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, and then she ordered a change of horse.

Seeing that Xiao Lan was ready, Yun Qing immediately ordered: "Beat the drum, blow the trumpet, and open the city gate." ”

With the sound of drums and trumpets, the gates of the city suddenly opened.

The Golden Wolf King and a group of generals shook their heads when they heard the sudden sound of drums and trumpets on the city wall.

Then they saw the gates of the city of Litian wide open.

"Not good." The Golden Wolf King immediately thought of the other party's purpose for doing this.

Those soldiers of the Golden Wolf tribe who had no horses encountered the opponent's iron horse, and it was definitely a one-sided slaughter.

"Damn it, Balur, you immediately lead your men to rush over to stop them. Tertulonsa, you command the siege soldiers to retreat. The Golden Wolf King immediately ordered.

The two commander-level generals immediately took the order and left.

Xiao Lan led the army out of the city gate and immediately went on a killing spree.

The soldiers who rushed to the city wall had no time to dodge before they were killed by the iron horsemen who galloped by the wind.

"Shoot the arrows and cover them." Yun Qing looked at the movements of the Golden Wolf King and waved his hand: "Aim at those cavalry in the distance." ”

With Yun Qing's order, the archers on the city wall once again took turns shooting the arrows in their hands.

At this time, Xiao Lan was leading the army to sweep away the enemy troops who had already attacked the city wall, and did not pursue them far away, so the arrows shot by the archers on the city wall would not accidentally hurt them.

But the soldiers of the Steppe Wolf Court were embarrassed.

Retreat, directly into the range of the arrow rain, if you don't retreat, your head rested under the knife of the Beihai Iron Horse. For a while, it was a dilemma.

However, the cavalry led by Balur stood up to the rain of arrows on the city wall and killed the Beihai cavalry led by Xiao Lan.

After rushing through the area covered by the rain of arrows, the cavalry led by Barur had already lost several hundred men.

But Rao was like this, and their number was still greater than the number of cavalry led by Xiao Lan.

"Everyone, one word." Xiao Lan saw that it was almost there, and immediately ordered.

Barur was stunned for a moment when he saw that the North Sea cavalry led by Xiao Lan was lined up.

What's going on, is the other party actually going to charge over in a row and fight hard, isn't that looking for death?

"Everyone obeys the order, shoot the horses and crossbows, and get ready." Xiao Lan threw out the whip in his hand and pointed straight ahead: "Shoot." ”

The Beihai soldiers put their feet on the crossbows and kicked down hard.

Whoosh

A row of thick crossbow arrows immediately shot from the horse's crossbows carried under the horse's belly.

Seeing this scene, Balur's face turned the color of pig liver.

"It's not good, it's a horse crossbow."

But at this time, it was too late to react.

The row of crossbows shot straight at the first row of horses, killing most of the horses in the first row at once.

The horses were shot directly into the chest with a crossbow and killed instantly.

As a large number of horses in the front row suddenly fell, the cavalry that followed closely behind them immediately tripped up.

In an instant, the originally neat charging array was in chaos.

Even Balur's horses were shot to death by a crossbow, and he fell off his horse directly, not even shouting the order to stop advancing.

This led the soldiers behind to not know that something had happened in front of them, and they still didn't rein in their horses, so they crashed into the soldiers in front of them who didn't stop when they saw the right thing.

"Triangle, charge." Seeing that the opponent's formation was in chaos, Xiao Lan immediately ordered to regroup the formation, and then launched a charge.

"Withdraw quickly, withdraw the army" Balur got up from the ground, and his eyes were red as he watched the old man who had been with him for many years fall in a pool of blood.

But at this time, he couldn't think too much, and when he saw the rushing North Sea cavalry, he hurriedly ordered a retreat.

If it is like this, there will be no way to fight the North Sea Cavalry again.

Forced combat will only result in greater casualties.

The other party would have a horse crossbow, which I really didn't expect.

But at this moment, the cavalry of the Golden Wolf Tribe, which was already in chaos, was even more chaotic after hearing his order.

Those who heard the order in front were in a hurry to retreat, and those who didn't hear it in the back were still rushing forward, and they couldn't advance or retreat for a while.

Xiao Lan led the army to sweep over like the wind, and with a single sword, Balur's head rose to the sky.

"The head of the enemy general is here, all the soldiers, kill with me." Xiao Lan raised Balur's head and shouted.

Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Golden Wolf Tribe was in an uproar, and they had no desire to fight, so they fled in a hurry
