Three thousand iron horsemen poured out of the camp in black pressure, outside the range of the bed crossbow, neatly lined up, grinding the big banner in the wind and snow hunting sound, slightly leaning, the sound of war drums, more than ten horsemen came out, in their hands, all holding chain hammers, on the long iron chain, the head of a watermelon with inverted teeth whirring above the heads of the Donghu soldiers, running to the obstacle, a loud shout, the chain hammer flew out steeply, and smashed heavily on the top of the ice and snow stone in the top of the circumference, boom, The top half of the snow is gone.

With a wrist, the chain hammer flew back upside down, and the Donghu soldiers circled a small arc in front of countless obstacles, swept over, and behind him, more than ten other people drew gourds in the same way, and for a while, under the fortress, the rumbling sound was loud, and one after another hard ice and snow stones, under the bombardment of the chain hammer, turned into ice chips.

"Xiao Haizi!" Song Hongxin shouted, "Roll call!" ”

"Okay!" Xiao Haizi on the watchtower happily agreed, stood up straight, and lifted a strong bow beside him, unlike ordinary people's bows, this bow is obviously Xiao Haizi's uniqueness, slightly larger than the standard longbow in the army. Standing firmly with his feet one after the other, holding the bow in his left hand and holding the string in his right hand, the bow was like a full moon, and an armor-piercing arrow broke through the air in the eyes of countless people, tearing through the wind and snow.

A Donghu soldier wielded a chain hammer and destroyed an ice stone, just at the moment of retracting the long chain, the armor-piercing arrow came unexpectedly, with a loud sound, the sharp arrow tore through the cavalry's leather armor without hindrance, a few snowflakes appeared in the air, and the cavalry leaned back and fell from the horse.

"Good!" On the city wall, thunderous cheers erupted.

Xiao Haizi is not very old, but he is a famous marksman in this army, and before joining the army, he was a hunter in the mountains. He also holds a family heirloom longbow in his hand. It is stronger than the standard bow in the army, and more importantly, it is something that Xiao Haizi has used for many years, if this longbow has spirit, then there is no doubt that Xiao Haizi's spirit when he holds this bow is far higher than when he holds other longbows.

At this distance, the bed crossbow and the arm crossbow can be easily reached, but the other party only has more than ten horsemen. Unless you use a covering strike, it's hard to shoot your opponent down, but it's too wasteful to shoot like that, and the rest of the soldiers, shooting at this distance, are afraid of ten arrows, not to mention that the opponent is still moving quickly, even if they are standing still. I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot either.

But allowing the opponent to destroy the obstacles under the fortress one by one and can only watch dryly, it will inevitably hurt the morale of his soldiers and horses too much, Song Hongxin is very glad that he has a marksman like Xiao Haizi under him, such a person. It is not common in the military. Although it can only shoot down one person at a time, it is no worse than the shock given to the enemy in the previous battle.

In the cheers of everyone, Xiao Haizi's face flushed. Exhale and shoot two more arrows, and the arrows will knock people down. Under the fortress, two more corpses of Donghu soldiers were left.

The Donghu cavalry, who had previously rushed up unscrupulously to attack the ice stones, couldn't help but stagnate, and their speed involuntarily slowed down. Some cavalrymen put away their hammers, stretched their bows and arrows, and fired back at the towers, but they shot from the bottom up, and the wind in the air was also very strong, and the riding bow itself was softer than the foot bow, and when the arrow flew to the top of the city several meters away, it had fallen weakly.

Laughter rang out again from above the city, but this time, it was mockery.

After shooting three arrows in a row, Xiao Haizi's face flushed, his wheezing sound was obvious, he put down the longbow in his hand, and he gently rubbed the muscles of his right arm.

"Xiao Haizi, shoot, shoot again, at the critical moment, you can't wilt!" Lowering his head, the beard shouted with his teeth and claws.

Xiao Haizi returned with a wry smile, today the wind and snow are very big, above this distance, he must draw the bow full, and then calculate the wind speed and other factors that affect the feather arrows, shoot three arrows in a row, the right arm is already sore, ordinary archery, he generally only drives half a month, but today this distance, but he has to be full of bows.

"Don't talk nonsense, you think it's an ordinary soft bow, you can open it as many times as you want!" Song Hongxin shouted, "Let Xiao Haizi take a break." ”

The beard blinked and thought for a moment, "I'll go rub him!" Ran to the bottom of the watchtower, climbed up like an ape, and rubbed Xiao Haizi's shoulders and arms diligently.

Xiao Haizi felt the extraordinary enthusiasm of the beard, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone in the city, and then looked at the Donghu cavalry that began to rage under the city again, gritted his teeth, and raised his longbow again.

The sound of arrows roared again, and after three arrows, only two people were shot down, and the other arrow was flying.

Xiao Haizi glanced at his beard apologetically, "Beard, it's really not good." ”

"Five, five!" Beard stretched out a big slap and shook it in front of Xiao Haizi, "It's very good." ”

"Xiao Haizi, don't be reluctant, rest, don't shoot, it's impossible to stop the opponent from clearing the obstacle anyway, I'm still counting on you to make a big show next, don't get hurt." Above the city, Song Hongxin shouted.

Without the threat of the opponent's marksman, the speed of Donghu soldiers clearing obstacles is getting faster and faster, and above the watchtower, Xiao Haizi watched the snowman he had carefully built was knocked off his upper body with a hammer, and then his lower head was smashed with a hammer, and he couldn't help but spit in annoyance.

In the distance, under the banner of Mo Yandu, a general dressed in the costume of General Donghu, but his face was obviously that of the Central Plains, speaking in half-baked Donghu dialect, said to Mo Yanlu: "The other party has only one marksman, he can't shoot a few arrows, and the threat is not big, but then he will enter the effective range of the opponent's crossbow arrows, General Mo Yandu, send shield soldiers to step forward, cover the team and immediately step forward, and clear the remaining obstacles as quickly as possible!" ”

"Okay!" Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Yanlu turned around and immediately commanded.

The so-called big shield is actually that Mo Yandu sent people to cut down countless big trees, nailed them together one by one, and made them into pieces of door panels. Behind this door panel, there were nailed wooden sticks that were just held in hand, and several Donghu soldiers held on to such sticks tightly, propped up the door panels, and strode forward.

"The turtle son has learned to be smart!" Song Hongxin muttered. "The bed crossbow is ready, first tear open those broken door panels for me, and open the crossbow for the second round. See, be fast, slow a little, and those rotten door panels will hold up again, this thing is not worth much, how much they want, how much they can get. ”

The howling bed crossbow fell from the head of the city, and it was just one, and it tore the heavy wooden planks that were hastily nailed together from the joints, and the moment the wooden shield was scattered. The crossbow began to cover the shots, covering all the places where the wooden shields had been broken under the crossbow arrows, and the screams were endless.

In this incessant scream, the Donghu soldiers under the city also began to fight back, and one after another feathered arrows flew up to the city, not much accurate, but still suppressed the city. The soldiers in the city no longer dared to expose their upper bodies out of cover unscrupulously, and the shooting of crossbow arrows inevitably exposed gaps.

The rumbling sound was endless, and one obstacle after another was in the process of the arrow flying. It was quickly destroyed, and after the Donghu soldiers threw down nearly a hundred corpses, under the city, the soldiers of the Eastern Army built up those dense ice and snow stones. Everything turned into crushed ice.

A smile appeared on the face of the general beside Mo Yandu, "General, you can withdraw people." Riding forward, quickly running around the wall, try to suppress the opponent's long-range strike, push our bed crossbow closer, bombardment on it, cavalry in the process of running around the village, but also try to observe the opponent's defensive gap, although the village is strong, but only stationed more than 100 soldiers, the opponent's defense must have a focus, hit the focus, immediately launch a round of attack, affect the opponent's defense. ”

Mo Yanlu actually obeyed the words of this general, turned his head and said to Gu Jili beside him: "Gu Jili, with you leading the army, do what General Li said." ”

Hundreds of cavalry, under the leadership of Gu Jili, rushed around the small stockade at high speed, and shot with bows at high speed, which was the strength of the Donghu cavalry, even if they could not kill the opponent, but as long as they caused damage to the opponent, it was enough. In the stockade, there were only more than 100 soldiers, and if one was wounded, the combat effectiveness was one point lower.

"Aim for your opponent's bed crossbow and destroy them for me!" On the city, Song Hongxin shouted loudly, the bow and arrow under the city are not a big threat to the soldiers in the stockade, but the opponent's bed crossbow can cause damage to the wall, every shot, can shoot down a large piece of ice wall, if you suffer too much, the ice and snow armor outside will be stripped off, the strength of the wall inside itself is not high, a bed crossbow shot within a hundred steps, enough to penetrate the wall.

In terms of the accuracy and speed of shooting, the bed crossbow of the Eastern Army is obviously superior, and one after another Donghu bed crossbow was scattered by the city in the course of firing, and became a ruin, but obviously this kind of bed crossbow has a lot in the army, and he does not feel sorry for this kind of loss.

Gu Jili flew back and saluted Mo Yandu: "General, I found the opponent's weakness, in the northeast corner of the wall, where it seems to be the highest and most dangerous, but the counterattack is the weakest. ”

"General Li, what do you think?" Mo Yanlu glanced at Gu Jili and said with a smile: "It seems that the weakest place is not necessarily the weakest, perhaps, it is the enemy's trap, so General Mo Yandu, I mean, do the opposite and storm the southwest corner." ”

Gu Jili glanced at the General Li disapprehantly, "That's so much, we have already attacked the southwest corner before, but we have suffered a lot of losses, as long as we concentrate all the bed crossbows, bombard the northeast corner, and break the ice wall outside, this stockade will not be able to hold." ”

Mo Yanlu looked at General Li, General Li smiled and said, "General Mo Yandu, our temptation today is enough, why don't we stop the army and come back tomorrow." ”

"How can it be delayed until tomorrow!" Gu Jili shouted, "After one night, the enemy will be able to thicken their ice wall again, and our efforts today will be in vain." ”

"General Gu Jili, attack today, can you break the city?" General Lee responded with a smile.

Gu Jili shook his head, "I can't guarantee that this village is a fucking hedgehog, and it stabs people tightly." ”

"Then I can guarantee that tomorrow, I will be able to break this stockade." General Lee said confidently.

Mo Yanlu listened to this, nodded, and said to Gu Jili: "Retreat." ”

"General Mo Yandu, before we retire, we have one more thing to do. Ruined that watchtower. General Li pointed to the towering watchtower and said, "There is an unobstructed view of all our actions, and if he is destroyed, the enemy will be blinded by one eye, and it will be difficult for them to guess what we do." ”

Mo Yan smiled, "That's simple, come here, gather all the bed crossbows, aim at the watchtower, and knock him down for me." ”

The enemy is retreating, although Song Hongxin is a little puzzled, today's battle can only be regarded as an attempt, the enemy is looking for his own flaws, which makes him a little apprehensive, but the enemy's retreat, of course, is a good thing, he lasted another day, anyway, the left and right are just soldiers to block, and the water is just to spit out.

A group of Donghu soldiers retreated, and when they retreated nearly two hundred steps, the Donghu soldiers gathered together suddenly dispersed, and the bed crossbow covered by the previous formation was revealed, Song Hongxin saw the direction of the arrow raised by the black bed crossbow, and was immediately shocked, "Xiao Haizi, come down quickly!" ”

The buzzing sound was endless, and hundreds of crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms volleyed into the air, and the target was the highest watchtower in the village, and this was the only place that was not wrapped in ice and snow armor. (To be continued......)
