Chapter 56: The Book of Arrows
Early the next morning, the people of the Taiping Sect began to urge people to get up, Chen Mo hid the sunspots, and then came out with everyone, and had a plan in his heart, so today's Chen Mo was particularly positive.
However, unlike the previous siege, this time, the Qu Shuai Zhou Fang sent a part of the Taiping soldiers out to separate these refugees, and there was no subdivision, anyway, dozens or hundreds of people, mixed with ten or five Taiping soldiers, were responsible for leading these refugees.
Chen Mo, who was in it, didn't notice any changes, but standing at the head of Quyang City, he could find that today's Taiping Sect army was different from before, although the array was still a little chaotic, but at least it looked a little bit better.
"I don't want there to be some people in this Taiping Sect who know how to govern the army!" Zang Hong looked at the changes in the Taiping Army and didn't feel too surprised.
Zhang Chao nodded and said: "I also made a long ladder to come out, today's battle, I'm afraid it will not be as easy as the day before." ”
This defense of the city is not a confrontation between the two armies, the opponent's formation is useless, the real threat to the defenders is the long ladder, although it is not a cloud ladder, it can be easily pushed out, but after all, these Taiping people have some means to kick the city, if these people really rush to the city, there is still a threat, there are only hundreds of people in this city, once they enter the stage of attrition, even if one person can change the other party's ten, they can't afford to change.
"Let people use Ge to guard the Quartet, and when they see their long ladder coming up, they will push it down with Changge." Zang Hong looked at the other party's battle, and also agreed with Zhang Chao's words, so many long ladders, really let them build on the city wall, it would be a hard battle.
"There are only more than 300 county guards here, how can there be any people?" Zhang Chao said helplessly.
"Previously, I ordered the county lieutenant in the city to levy the people and ask them to come up to assist." Zang Hong frowned.
"These people still need to maintain order in the city, if they are sent up, what should we do if someone causes trouble in the city?" Zhang Chao has some encounters.
"That's not right, annihilate all the remaining remnants of the city!" Zang Hong leaned on the female wall, and said with a smile: "Last time, we waited to investigate the Taiping Sect in the city, and we have already captured a lot, even if there are some omissions, it is difficult to achieve a big thing!" ”
In the end, Zhang Chao was still worried about the stability of the city, so he didn't call all the people up, but only transferred half of them, and sent Changge to be responsible for the ladders that were set up on the city wall everywhere.
This thing is not a ladder, not only with a barb, but also a specially fixed base at the bottom, which is difficult to push, and ordinary ladders can be pushed out with just one thing, which is why even in the face of tens of thousands of Taiping Sect people, Zang Hong and Zhang Chao can still talk and laugh on the enemy upstairs, the lack of siege equipment, even if there are more people on the other side, there is no way to climb up, even if there is a ladder to climb the city now, it is easy to deal with.
What's more, although he was praising the other party just now for knowing how to govern the army, but managing the army and fighting a war are two different things, and the gap in equipment is needless to say, most of them are refugees, and they are not threatening at all.
The Taiping army is obviously moving its true character today, a large number of Taiping elites are mixed in the crowd to be responsible for commanding, at least not like before, people just shoot a wave of arrows, the entire army array is chaotic, under the command of these Taiping elites, ladders are carried to rush in the direction of the city wall, before reaching the city wall, the opponent's arrow cluster has fallen.
"Don't mess around, those who retreat will be killed on the spot!" An elite of the Taiping Sect slashed those who wanted to retreat with a wave of his hand, and at the same time roared, "Rush me!" ”
Don't look at the large number of refugees, but most of them are cowards, in the face of the ferocity of these Taiping elites, they have no idea of resisting at all, and can only continue to move forward under their urging.
Chen Mo had killed people, and he had more fierceness in his bones, so he was not frightened, but if he turned around and ran at this time, he would definitely be looking for death, and he was afraid that none of the elites of the Taiping Sect would be able to beat him, and he was not ready to run.
The short bow was already in his hand, and the wooden arrow wrapped in the blood book had been placed on the string, but at this moment, there were still nearly a hundred steps away from the city wall, and at this distance, Chen Moke could not shoot his wooden arrow on the city wall, so he could only keep his head down as much as possible and follow the crowd towards the direction of the city wall.
Burst~
The attack in the direction of the city wall was obviously much stronger, and the cold arrow cluster fell from the sky with the powerful Guan Xing, and a man on Chen Mo's side was pierced through the skull by an arrow cluster without warning, and after standing stiff for a moment, he fell straight down.
Chen Mo's heart beat fiercely, this cluster of arrows falling from the sky has no rules to follow, he is the ability to hope for luck, he can see whose luck is strong, but how strong the luck of ordinary people can be, it is usually the moment when the other party's arrow comes out, the luck of the person will change, and it is difficult to avoid it.
At this time, Chen Mo could only rely on his relatively thin body and lower his body as much as possible, so that the people around him could become his natural barrier, not easy to be attacked by arrow clusters, and the rest would depend on his fate.
However, these people who were driven to the forefront were obviously not the target of the defenders of the city, and the archers who were really taken care of were the archers in the rear who were responsible for helping to suppress the defenders of the city, not very many, and the defenders were condescending, and the range of bows and arrows was longer.
Chen Mo mixed in the crowd, carefully looking at the defenders at the head of the city, he had never seen how the real general was dressed, but from the other party's clothing, different from others, thinking that the identity would not be too bad, Chen Mo quickly aimed at a few, at this time there were almost thirty steps left from the city wall, and the people in the front row had already begun to put ladders outside the moat and climb up.
Silently estimating the distance in his heart, in order to ensure that his blood book could be seen by the high-level of Quyang, he was going to shoot one near everyone.
When he reached about twenty steps, Chen Mo suddenly opened his bow and arrows, and a wooden arrow flew out lightly, and the slight screaming sound did not attract attention in this noisy battlefield.
At the head of the city, the county lieutenant was directing the battle, but he saw a wooden arrow rushing towards him, and in the stunned gaze of the county lieutenant, it landed on the heart guard on his chest and bounced out.
What?
The county lieutenant was stunned and touched his heart guard.
Chen Mo was a little regretful, it was still too far, and if he got closer, he should be able to shoot the silver helmet on his head.
Change one!
Chen Mo targeted a scribe this time, although he was a scribe, but he was also wearing leather armor, Chen Mo followed the crowd a few steps forward, and shot an arrow again, this time, he set the arrow cluster in the gap between the opponent's leather armor, and was not shot off.
Next!
Seeing the scribe curiously pull out the wooden arrow, Chen Mo clenched his fists with some excitement and continued to look for other targets......
