The flag waved three times, and the yellow crossbowmen fired three salvos.

Among them, the winch was wound twice. The Xianbei cavalry was within 500 paces. The condor and sharpshooter in the arrow tower opened a three-stone strong bow to snipe the Xianbei leader. When they rushed to 300 paces, the head of the city was like a rain of arrows. A large number of Xianbei rangers were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

Why don't Xianbei raise their shields?

How to shoot an arrow with a shield!

The Xianbei rangers braved the rain of arrows and approached the moat. Stretch your bow and shoot angrily!

Buzz –

Sharp arrows are like a plague of locusts. Covering the sky and the sun, roaring.

The top and bottom of the city were instantly filled. By giving birth to a forest of arrows and thorns.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is fully prepared. Leaning on the wall, set up a circle of war tents along the city, covered with tiles, and sharp arrows are difficult to penetrate!

The Xianbei rangers shot several times in a row, and tens of thousands of arrows fell in the city. The wall made of rammed earth was even more accumulated into a hedgehog. It doesn't hurt!

The head of the city is like a flying locust. Bows and crossbows fired volleys, and the Xianbei rangers fell off their horses one after another. The body rolled into the water.

Several volleys were fired, but there was no damage to the head of the city. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the Xianbei leader shouted loudly in Hu language. The Xianbei elite riders, who were full of arrows, took out a rocket from the quiver on their waists and lit it with flint. The horses rushed straight to the moat.

The war horse under him faced the dense rain of arrows and soared into the air.

The moment he crashed into the river, the knight shot the rocket with all his might!

Then he was pierced through the heart by random arrows, and the centaurs fell into the water.

With the last force of the men and horses, the rocket flew over the city and roared down.

Although he knew that the young prince and marquis were fully prepared, the defenders at the head of the city were still nervous.

The city was clanging and ringing. Around the city, there is a thick layer of soft sand. The rocket plunged headlong and soon extinguished itself. The rockets that fell on the tiled shed were also extinguished by craftsmen wearing bamboo cages and throwing chalk soot.

The city of white sandalwood is three miles horizontally and vertically. If you want to shoot an arrow across the moat to the tent of the Chinese army, it is beyond the reach of manpower.

Wait for the last Xianbei dead soldier, full of sharp arrows, and die with the mount under him. Xianbei is gone.

Huang Zhong ordered the flag to be raised again, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Along the moat, the Xianbei people and horses fell down layer by layer, no less than thousands of horses.

The moat was silted up by corpses. Blood flowed in, a scarlet patch. Liu Bei ordered people to lower the drawbridge. Cui Ba led the sword and shield out of the city and ended the lives of the wounded soldiers and horses. Cutting off the ears counts military merit.

Later, his own Xianbei servants carried the carcasses back to the camp. Cleaning up the battlefield is a common practice for confrontations. Miscellaneous soldiers who collect corpses do not wear armor or carry weapons. Even if they are within range, the attackers and defenders will not attack each other.

The defenders were well fed in batches. Clean up the recovered arrows and store them for later use. The broadsword cut off the arrows that pierced the city's head, and repaired the walls. They are busy without mentioning it.

Xianbei knows the benefits of the bow and crossbow in the city, and he will be prepared tomorrow.

If you want to attack the city, the moat is the first obstacle. Tomorrow will most likely be the goal. Liu Bei ordered people to dredge the river, salvage the floating corpses in the river, and pile them all on the other side. Own Xianbei to take it back.

Defend the city against night attacks. Therefore, Liu Bei dug the moat wide and deep. If you want to attack at night, you must first cross the water. With such a movement, how could it be concealed from the soldiers in the city? The brick kiln built around the inner wall is working day and night to burn bricks and tiles to replenish the wear and tear. Even if the city wall collapses, there is still a brick kiln behind it. The cavalry was also difficult to penetrate. The kiln body was burned by the furnace fire until it was hardened and extremely hard. It's hard to break down for a while. The White Sandalwood City is equal to two layers of wall protection.

Liu Bei sent his troops to the north of Xinjiang, and he used Baitan City as a fortress. After months of trimming, it finally came in handy.

The officers and men in the battalion waited for the day and did not speak all night.

Two days. As soon as it was dawn, I heard the neighing of people and horses outside the city. Xianbei cut down trees overnight to make wooden shields. Similar rough armor, Liu Bei has also seen it in the hands of the Zahu horse thief. They are all arranged with straight branches the thickness of a child's arm. Although it can withstand bows and arrows, it cannot withstand the fire of ballistas.

Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry was holding wooden shields, Liu Bei ordered: "Speed up the water dragon crossbow!" ”

"Whoa!"

Rows of Xianbei knights were arrayed, shields in one hand and leather bags in the other. Drive the war horses and surround them from all sides.

As Liu Bei expected. This time it's not for archery, it's about filling the river with negative soil!

Thousands of steps away, the Xianbei knights all held their shields on top of their heads. Defend the city from a rain of arrows. Liu Bei did not trigger it. "At the end of the strong crossbow, the arrow can't pierce Lu Min." The thousand-step range is the limit of the bed crossbow. When the Xianbei knight approached five hundred steps, Liu Bei gave the order.

The water dragon ballista fired a salvo.

The Xianbei knights were startled when they saw that there seemed to be stones whistling and smashing them.

When it landed and exploded, it was not a stone. And the distance is close, but only a hundred steps away. The range of a water crossbow is related to the weight of the water bladder it is thrown. It is usually comparable to a bed crossbow, and if the water bladder is larger, the distance will be shortened accordingly.

As it is at this time. Only shoot the large water bladder out of a hundred paces.

The sac exploded on the ground, splashing everywhere. Soon it soaked in large flakes.

Fishy for a while.

When the Xianbei cavalry approached, Liu Bei swung his sword suddenly!

Buzz –

The rocket shot straight at the trail of oil.

Hula-

The dry yellow grass on the shore was set on fire.

The accumulation of fish oil ignited a fierce fire in an instant. The temperature rose sharply, and the fire exploded one after another. With a bang, the flames soared into the air, and the fire rained down!

The flames were connected like contagion. The line of fire burned into a wall of fire in anger. The wall of fire swallowed up the earth and became a sea of fire. The knight caught off guard and crashed headlong into the flames. Instantly burned into a large ball of fire. The flames soared into the sky, spreading rapidly along the withered grass. Engulf row after row of knights. The horse was frightened, fluttered on all fours, and threw the knight on his back into the flames. The men and horses were covered in fur. The hair burns out, and the pain is unbearable. The wolves rushed and scattered, igniting a larger fire.

Dry herbs are already very easy to set on fire, and fish oil is added to help burn. Out of control.

Many knights on fire rushed out of the flames. Plunged headlong into the moat and died.

The Xianbei knights who pressed the formation, fired arrows in unison. Shoot the fire horse that rushes towards you. and covered the grass with earth to stop the sea of fire. As for the centaurs in the sea of fire, there is no salvation.

The sandalwood locust in the camp in the north camp calmly watched the flames sweeping the meadow. It was as if the men and horses running and wailing in the sea of fire had nothing to do with him. Subconsciously looked up, the sky was full of smoke, and there were no clouds. There was a great drought in the north, and locust plagues were raging. Wanting a life-saving timely rain is simply delusional.

Across the moat, Liu Bei on the head of the city was also baked and sweating profusely. It shows the fierceness of the fire.

Many of the burning men killed their horses before killing themselves. Spraying a blazing rain of blood, pounce on the sea of fire. Burn one piece with the ground.

The fire burned until sunset. At midnight, the cold wind blew, and the scarlet charcoal fire erupted from the smoke-curling ash heap. Cold wind call. The sparks drifted away in the wind, like ghost fire.

Sharp arrows pierce armor. Cooking with oil.

Thousands of enemies were killed in two days.

Xianbei failed to even break through the moat.

The smell of burnt paste all over the city is disgusting. Forced to eat a bowl of rice porridge, Liu Bei was beside him, and re-ascended the city tower.

Looking around at the Xianbei company camp, the flashing lights. Liu Bei couldn't help but ask himself: What about tomorrow?
