Suddenly, there was a dense sound of bowstrings, and the Hun veterans knew that the arrows had been released in the city.

Those who had shields raised their shields, and those who did not raise their weapons to ward off the arrows.

A rain of arrows fell on the most densely populated area with the same precision as eyes, and suddenly screamed and overturned twenty or thirty people. They rolled and twitched violently, and also tripped some of the soldiers around them, causing the entire momentum of the advance to stall.

Fortunately, there was only one round of arrows in the city, and after a little regrouping, the Huns continued to climb the mountain and approach.

On the watchtower inside the city, several soldiers used flags to relay messages to the rear.

Behind the wall, a group of archers received the signal, and the leader shouted, "The enemy group enters the fourth area after five steps, and the arrows are covered with rain!" ”

Everyone replied in unison, "The fourth area, covered by arrow rain!" ”

Fifty sharp arrows were thrown into the air, shooting towards the predetermined target that had undergone many trainings.

Hao Zhao watched the rain of arrows in the city shoot out and accurately land on the top of the target enemy group, and said with satisfaction, "This is just the beginning, we have already killed a hundred people, see how many more hundred people they can kill for us." ”

Finally, these Hun archers reached a distance of 100 paces, and according to the plan, they needed to launch a counterattack here and try to suppress the archers on the city walls.

But the situation is not right, there seem to be less than fifty people on the city wall, and those arrows rain do not look like they were shot from the city wall at all.

On the contrary, it was as if someone could see through the city wall to know where they were going and where there were many people, and then the rain of arrows was like having eyes, causing accurate killings.

It's horrible!

Some of the bold ones are still blindly carrying out the order to suppress the city walls. But their arrows either landed on the uninhabited masonry or were stopped by the soaked carpet of anti-arrow felt.

Gradually, some of the Huns were smeared with oil on the soles of their feet and quickly broke away from the area covered by bows and arrows. And those who were still stupidly suppressed, were accurately shot one by one by the crossbowmen on the city wall from behind the battlements.

King Zuo Xian was not optimistic when he saw the situation on the hillside, and the thousand soldiers and horses he sent up first were all men with excellent arm strength and good marksmanship. As a result, he was injured so much before he could enter the distance of the return fire, and it seems that the powerful guy in the city actually had a command to shoot arrows across the city wall.

It seems that the original plan to suppress the city wall will not work.

However, the arrow has to be sent! If you retreat now, the two hundred people just now will die in vain, and the formation of those soldiers who are still holding on will gradually thinn, and the city will stop throwing and covering.

He roared, "Siege!" ”

A horn sounded, and the slaves and Han soldiers who were hiding three hundred paces away carrying a long ladder lowered their heads and ran wildly.

They were followed by a group of elites dressed in leather armor and equipped with swords and shields, who maintained a dense formation and trotted close to the city wall.

Hao Zhao smiled when he saw this, and asked behind him, "You have also practiced for a long time, can you throw it accurately at one time?" ”

The two Tuntian army commanders next to him replied, "Haha, don't worry, we are no worse than the dreadnought!" ”

Hao Zhao said, "At fifty steps, you all throw it down." According to the plan, leave three of them, don't make a mistake about the location. ”

"No!"

When the twenty long ladders were under the batter of bows and arrows, and only half of the remaining ladders approached the city wall fifty paces, a dense gong sounded on the city wall, and a batch of rolling logs was thrown down.

When the rolling logs are thrown, they have a certain speed, and when they hit the ground, the terrain is downhill, and these logs accelerate and crash into the Huns.

The people in front tried to dodge left and right, but the people behind couldn't see the situation, and were disturbed by the sound of gongs at a very high volume, and many ladders were sideways, just smashed by the rolling logs.

This batch of rolling logs has been put into several drills, and the timing and strength are just right, only those enemy troops who immediately threw away the ladder were lucky not to be affected, but the thrown ladder was also smashed and could not be used.

However, there happened to be three long ladders that were not destroyed, and the ladders went straight to the city walls. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any more rolling wood on the walls, so the three ladders were not damaged.

Although the Huns wearing leather armor in the back were also put down by the rolling wood, they still maintained high morale. Seeing that the ladder had reached the wall, they roared angrily and quickened the pace of their charge.

However, because only three ladders were successfully erected, these Hun soldiers could only concentrate on rushing towards the three ladders.

The dreadnought sentry on the lookout saw them rushing over and immediately passed the message in flags.

Behind the walls, the dreadnought archers, who had been resting for a moment, received the news and immediately drew their bows and arrows.

The leader shouted, "The enemy is charging, aim for the second area near the wall!" ”

The soldiers shouted, "Near the second area of the wall! Then a volley of sharp arrows was fired at an angle of more than 60 degrees.

At the same time, Hao Zhao, who had been relatively quiet since the beginning of the war, made a gesture, and the dreadnoughts on the city wall immediately gave way to the area in front of the ladder and concentrated on the side at a certain angle to the Hun soldiers.

When the sharp arrows to be thrown reached the highest point and began to fall, the dreadnought soldiers on the city wall collectively held bows and crossbows and shot at the side of the Huns.

These Huns rushed to a distance of twenty paces from the city wall, and there was a rain of arrows above their heads, and there were also direct arrows in front of them on the left and right fronts!

Some of the Huns raised their shields to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky, but the arrows from the side were all direct, and at once they penetrated the leather armor and pierced their waists and spleens, causing them to lose their mobility in severe pain, and gradually fell into a long sleep after struggling to the ground.

Some people can see at a glance that the arrows on the side are more threatening than the ones above their heads, so they quickly protect the sides with shields and weapons. However, the arrows from the top of the head also accurately covered the predetermined area, and also killed and injured a number of soldiers.

Most of these people don't die outright, but the deep wounds can still leave them infected, feverish, unable to stand up, abandoned, and laid to rest in the wilderness within a few days.

The elite of Zuo Xianwang's department was quickly depleted under the blow, and until now they had only achieved single-digit shots and no more than fifty injuries through a hundred paces of shooting.

The Guduhou and the others around King Zuo Xian were all dumbfounded, they never thought that these tribal warriors would suffer such a blow before they had even touched the city wall.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded King Zuo Xian to withdraw his troops and fight again another day. Or simply surround the point to send reinforcements and loot all over the place, there is no need to fight so hard.

King Zuo Xian shook his head and said, "Fighting is the most taboo to give up halfway, our warriors have already landed in the city, how can you give up at this time!" ”

When everyone heard King Zuoxian's words, they saw that sure enough, the Huns had already attacked the city wall. As a rule of thumb, this is a sign of imminent victory.

It seems that King Zuo Xian is the most wise. For a while, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the blink of an eye, the Zuo Xian King's face became more serious.
