The soldiers of the Six Thousand Heavenly Divisions let out a frantic roar, and they launched the most fierce attack on the southern Zhengcheng with simple wooden shields, or crude wooden ladders, or laboriously pushing huge ladder carts and siege towers.

Gao Tie looked at the ant-like enemy army, sneered, and shouted: "All prepare for war!" ”

More than 300 soldiers of the archery battalion threw down the huge shields in their hands and untied the horned bows they were carrying. In the course of several rounds of attack and defense, they have been acting as bodyguards, and they have already held their breath, and they can finally vent their anger to the fullest.

The giant shield was withdrawn, and dozens of giant bed crossbows finally showed their hideous fangs, and were slowly pushed to the edge of the city wall, steadily aiming at the approaching ladder carts and siege towers, although this weapon had never appeared in front of the world, but only with the eight-foot giant spear that flashed coldly, no one dared to question its terrifying power.

Nearly 1,000 archers all pulled off the protective surface of their leather helmets, revealing only their murderous eyes, and wore special cowhide gloves on their right hands to ensure that their fingers would not be strained during the continuous string opening movement.

Nanying stood in front of the city tower, feeling proud in his heart, these equipment were all made in batches after he and Ma Jun, Zhang Xian and others repeatedly tested and practiced. Although in his eyes, this level of equipment is still too simple, but it is unique in this era that ordinary soldiers can have such individual protective equipment.

The reason why the Eagle's Nest army was able to equip a large number of high-quality bows and crossbows, leather shields, leather helmets, leather armor, gloves and other items was entirely due to the skin, horns and tendons of tens of thousands of wild yaks harvested after the trip to Baimaqiang. Its numbers are so huge that it can arm an army of 10,000 people to the teeth.

He saw the high-speed train looking at him, smiled and nodded.

The high-speed iron sword was unsheathed, pointed straight ahead, and shouted: "Open the bow!" ”

In a scalp-numbing "rattle-la-la" sound, hundreds of longbows and horn bows were drawn together, and the arrow clusters were all pointed obliquely at an upward angle.

The high-speed rail stared at the white line marked as a distance of 150 steps outside the city, and the orders were still issued in his mouth.

"Teams Sky Throw! Get ready! ”

"Each bed crossbow squad aims at the ladder truck directly in front of you, stand by!"

Behind the high-speed rail, I don't know when the four-color flag has been erected, and the captains glanced nervously from time to time, and the flag was the signal of their actions.

When the footsteps of the first group of Heavenly Division Army soldiers shouldering the long ladder had just stepped on the white line, Gao Tie shouted wildly: "Bow barracks, four rounds of rapid shooting!" ”

The first little red flag waved briskly four times.

The three hundred and fifty archers of the battalion released their fingers at the same time, as if a flock of frightened birds suddenly took off from the ground in unison, and hundreds of long arrows brought a strange and terrifying sharp wind roar, which turned into countless small black dots in the sky with light and swiftness. When they reach a high point, they seem to freeze for a moment, and then like a swarm of locusts that have found food, they draw graceful lines and swoop ferociously towards their targets below.

The archers shot an arrow, and without the slightest pause, they immediately poked their hands into the quiver behind them, and the bowstring after the arrow was still trembling wildly, making a mosquito-like "buzz", and the second long arrow had been fixed on the bowstring without pity.

As soon as a soldier of the Heavenly Division Army looked up, he happened to see the locusts flying in the sky, and blurted out in shock: "Shield ......"

A long arrow pierced through his chest and violently interrupted him, and the instant burst of impact caused the cluster of arrows to burst out almost without stopping, making a terrible tearing sound, and the soldier seemed to have been pushed violently, and was nailed straight to the hard ground.

Almost at the same time, nearly 100 people spilled blood on the spot, and those who were not killed also lost their combat effectiveness.

A Celestial Master Army general looked at the second wave of arrow rain from the sky, and let out a miserable cry that changed his tone: "Raise your shield quickly!" ”

Countless soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army squatted down one after another, covering their bodies with small wooden shields and leather shields in their hands as much as possible, and the long ladder they carried on their shoulders was also thrown aside.

Like a pouring rainstorm, mercilessly hitting the lotus leaves, the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Army felt the violent tremors coming from the shield, listened to the continuous terrifying sound, and tried to shrink their bodies into a spherical shape. Even so, from time to time, long arrows broke through the worn shields, nailed some unfortunate people with shields in one place, and let out a miserable howl.

The soldiers who pushed the ladder cart and the siege tower were not afraid to hide behind the wooden barrier and continue to approach the city wall, but they were blocked by the large number of infantry squatting on the ground in front of them, and they couldn't help but curse.

Nan Ying's face showed a trace of solemnity, these days the soldiers of the division are not strong, but there are a few brushes to save their lives, three hundred and fifty archers four rounds of arrow rain, but only shot down more than 200 people, it seems that the tactical intention of long-distance strikes can no longer be realized, only when the enemy forces approach the city wall, can effectively carry out large-scale destruction.

He sighed in his heart and gave sign to the herald, who understood and shouted: "The commander has an order, each team should try to preserve their physical strength as much as possible, carry out non-stop shooting, and delay the pace of the enemy!" ”

The four-colored flags were lowered on three sides, and the Eagle's Nest archers let out a burst of cheers and, under the command of the captains, rained down arrows on the enemy outside the city.

Zhang Lu came behind Nanying and said in surprise: "Lord, since the arrow attack is not effective, and the arrows and the physical strength of the warriors are wasted in vain, why do you still have to do this futile act?" ”

Nan Ying turned around and saw that Zhang Lu was dressed like an Eagle's Nest warrior, wrapped in thick armor all over his body, and wearing a face protector, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Gongqi is worthy of being the Great Sacrifice Wine of the Heavenly Master Dao, just look at the performance of the enemy army outside the city, you will know that you are all people who cherish your lives!" ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "The lord is still making fun of me, where am I afraid of death, but the time has not yet come, how can I let Zhang Xiu's subordinates outside the city recognize me?" ”

Nan Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I lost my words." By the way, what did you just say? ”

Zhang Lu said angrily: "I said that since the bow and arrow can't bring heavy casualties to the enemy, why do you still order the soldiers to continue shooting, you must know that the arrow is precious......"

"Precious?" Nanying unceremoniously interrupted him, "Do you know what is the most precious thing in this world?" ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and thought: "City land? Or is it money, food, and grass......"

Nanying sneered: "Let me tell you, the most precious thing in this world is life!" ”

He turned to look out of the city and said softly, "Especially my brothers, their lives are the most precious things in this world!" Don't say it's the loss of ordnance, if money can kill people, I'm willing to use money to kill these enemies outside the city! Just because one more enemy dies, my brother may live one more! ”

He looked at Zhang Lu, who was stammering, and sighed: "The reason why the soldiers follow their lord is because they eat a day's food when they are soldiers, but more importantly, they think that this lord can lead them to victory after victory, and they have more chances to live." No soldier can afford to remain indifferent to death, especially one that could have been avoided. If you don't have this kind of awareness, how can you teach countless good men to be willing to shed their blood for you? ”

Zhang Lu thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "My subordinates understand!" He sighed and said, "However, from the perspective of his subordinates, this truth Zhang Xiu is thousands

I don't understand! ”

Nan Ying looked at the embarrassed Heavenly Master Army outside the city and sneered, "Not bad! So Zhang Xiu will lose this battle! ”

Zhang Xiu looked at the siege troops who were stagnant, trembling with anger, and shouted: "Someone! ”

A sacrificial wine bowed; "Please command!"

Zhang Xiu pulled out the sword at his waist, threw it over, and said angrily: "You hold this sword and go and kill the fool who commanded the siege!" Tell the army the head, and you will oversee the battle! ”

The sacrificial wine was shocked and said, "What? Cutting the generals before the battle, this ......."

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed with a crazy and cruel light, and he said, "Are you deaf?" ”

The sacrificial wine felt a cold air rise from under his feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes! The subordinates will go immediately! As he spoke, he turned and ran.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the three thousand ghost guards neatly arranged behind him, and his heart was slightly determined, this is the descendant he has painstakingly cultivated over the years, the strongest combat power in the Heavenly Master Army,

As a last resort, he will never make this last move. ”

"Report—" A scout Pegasus came, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master of the Lord! I just received the news from the fast horse relay that the 12,000 Han troops besieging Chenggu suddenly pulled out their camp and started the village, and they still drove quickly along the side of the water to Nanzheng! ”

Zhang Xiu's face changed and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't I send a large number of men to attack their scouts? How could the 12,000 Han army still receive the news of the attack on Nanzheng? ”

The scout bowed his head and said, "This, my subordinates really don't know!" ”

Zhang Xiu barely suppressed the irritability in his heart, waved his hand, and said, "It's not your sin, you say, when will the 12,000 Han army arrive?" ”

The scout did not hesitate and said, "They are all infantry, and it will be noon tomorrow at the earliest!" ”

Zhang Xiu looked at the sky and was sure that there was still a whole day, which was enough to take Nanzheng. It's ridiculous that he almost wanted to use three thousand ghost soldiers to participate in the siege of the city, it seems that this worry is superfluous, the ideal ending is to capture the city in two hours, and then the soldiers can take turns to rest and consolidate the city defense, even if the Han army returns tomorrow, waiting for them will be a city strong and full of Nanzheng, but this Nanzheng belongs to the way of the heavenly master, and the Han army can only cry out in vain. I heard that many family members of the Han army are in the city, maybe I can use the people in the city to threaten them to force them to surrender, so the Heavenly Master Army will double its strength and capture the entire territory of Hanzhong, isn't it just around the corner?

Thinking of the smugness, Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

The subordinates around looked at each other blankly, wondering why Shijun turned his anger into joy after hearing this bad news, isn't he angry?

I only heard Zhang Xiu say to himself: "Very good! As long as you take Nanzheng, the big thing will be decided! It's just that it's cheaper for my good nephew, so let him linger for a few more days! ”

He shouted violently: "Pass on my order, five hundred ghost soldiers will supervise the battle after the formation, and all those in the front army who are afraid of the enemy and do not move forward, turn around and retreat, will be killed!" In two hours, I'm going to move to the city's Taishou Mansion! ”

Nanying slowly put down the monocular in his hand and said to himself, "It's a little troublesome!" ”

Zhang Lu was puzzled: "What does the lord mean?" ”

Nanying Yao pointed to the city and said, "Didn't you see it?" Your uncle has sent out a team of overseers, ready to cut people! It's a death before and after, I'm afraid that those Heavenly Master Troops will attack desperately! ”

As if to confirm Nanying's judgment, the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Army, who were still hiding behind the shield and shivering, suddenly began to attack again, and the siege ladder was once again pushed by the rumble.

"Is it finally going to start?" Nan Ying smiled bitterly, "Although I have been waiting for this moment to come, it is really contradictory at this time! ”

Zhang Lu also smiled bitterly: "I understand what the lord means, without a bloody battle, Zhang Xiu will never press all the soldiers and horses, and the ambush soldiers outside the city will not have the best fighter for a surprise attack!" ”

"Although the lord loves soldiers like sons, and fights bloodily," he said, glancing at Nanying's face, "our army will be killed and wounded!" ”

Nan Ying hated and high-fived with his fist: "People are not as good as heaven, I originally planned to use the three thousand defenders in the city as cannon fodder, but I didn't expect them to have civil strife!" ”

Zhang Lu was puzzled: "What is cannon fodder? ”

Nanying gave him a big roll of the eyes: "It's to die!" ”

Zhang Lu gasped, although this lord is kind to his subordinates, he doesn't seem to regard the lives of outsiders as a thing, but fortunately, he is also his subordinate now.

I only heard Nan Ying mutter: "Once the chaotic army in the city takes the initiative, the few people brought by Fang Hu alone will not be able to stop it, and then we will not suffer from the enemy on our backs?" Alas! I don't know what happened to them?

A rough voice suddenly came: "Thank you for your concern, Dian Wei is back!" ”

Nan Ying's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly looked back.

Dian Wei stood quietly a few steps away, a few lines of sweat dripping from his dark face, and he was slightly panting in his mouth, obviously running back with all his might.

Nan Ying stepped forward and punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "Okay! Look at your look, there should be no big deal with the civil unrest in the school field! ”

Dian Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry! , a few of the leaders let me shoot to death, and the others are all little minions, and they can't turn the sky upside down! ”

Nanying was in a good mood, laughed and patted him on the shoulder fiercely and said, "Very good!" The interior is worry-free, you came back just in time, are you interested in accompanying me to kill the enemy? ”

Dian Wei grinned and said, "If you keep shooting, I really can't kill the enemy with this hand!" ”

Zhang Lu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Lord be careful, the enemy army under the city is about to put the city head within firing range!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a long arrow came from afar, but unfortunately it was already weak when it flew up to the city, and Zhang Lu stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the action was quite fast and chic, causing the surrounding soldiers to applaud.

Nanying's heart became heavy, and the unilateral killing poke with the strong bow of the city was finally over, and the next step would be face-to-face flesh-and-blood combat.

He slowly stretched out his hand and played the sign language of all-out war, and the last small flag was immediately brought down.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army finally rushed to the bottom of the city, facing the dense rain of arrows, leaning on the city wall one by one, and from time to time some people let out a long cry and fell to the ground, but more people climbed to the top of the city with red eyes and trembling long ladders.

The Eagle's Nest warriors worked hard to pull the sliding rod that was half-suspended at the head of the city, moved a huge kettle full of fire oil to the top of the long ladder, and then pulled the long rope tied to the side of the kettle, and poured the oil on their heads.

As soon as the soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army on the long ladder let out a desperate howl, countless torches were thrown down from the city, and a raging flame immediately ignited on the long ladder, and many people climbed halfway, and then became a burning fireball, and fell from the ladder with a terrible cry that was not like a human voice, and the soldiers who were lucky not to be splashed with fire oil had to jump down from the long ladder one after another, overwhelming a large number of comrades under the city.

The sacrificial wine that oversaw the battle after the battle was shocked: "How can there be so much fire oil? Fast! Quickly order the siege equipment to suspend the attack, and wait until the enemy army runs out of fuel before making calculations. ”

He muttered: "Order all archers to come forward and shoot at the hostile and cover the siege troops!" ”

The archers of the Celestial Division finally approached the city, and they began to shoot suppressively, although they succeeded in shooting some of the Eagle's Nest warriors who leaned out of the city and threw torches and stones, but did not inflict fatal damage on them, but instead drew a reflex from the Eagle's Nest warriors. A large number of Celestial Master Army archers who did not have thick armor to protect themselves were easily pierced by the heavy arrows fired at close range, and they fell to the ground and groaned and rolled like a spring of blood. But soon, the nearby soldiers of the Celestial Division Army gathered one after another, set up a shield array, and protected the front of the archers.

Although the Eagle's Nest archers have strong bows and arrows, and occupy the geographical advantage, after all, there are few people, and they have to divide most of their manpower to kill and injure the enemy who is besieging the city, and gradually they can't suppress the archers of the Heavenly Division, and finally there are inevitable casualties.

Seeing that the wounded brothers were dragged down one by one, more Eagle's Nest warriors were red-eyed, and simply leaned their entire bodies out of the city, and splashed a pot of boiling oil on the face of the Heavenly Master Army who were attacking the city with their heads up, scalding the enemy troops under the city to the point of wolves. But they committed the taboo of defending the city, and the archers of the Celestial Master Army, protected by shields, shot cold arrows one after another at their exposed bodies. For a while, blood was spilled, screams were repeated, and the scorching smell filled the air, and the city became a purgatory on earth in a blink of an eye.

Nanying saw an Eagle's Nest warrior pouring boiling oil on the city, and suddenly his body trembled, and he fell straight down the city, and he couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart.

He pushed away the soldier holding the shield in front of him, and said angrily, "Herald! ”

A herald behind him strode forward and said with both feet, "Yes! ”

Nanying grabbed him in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "You go and tell the high-speed rail in person, how can there be such a war?" How much oil is there in the city? What a waste! And the brothers can't fight hard, they must make full use of the advantages of the city wall and equipment! There were senseless deaths and injuries again, and Lao Tzu slaughtered him with his own hands! ”

Seeing the herald running away, Nan Ying barely suppressed the anger in his heart, in the end, it was still a group of recruits, although he couldn't be afraid of death in battle, but he couldn't use his own shortcomings like this to make up for the enemy's strengths, right?

He turned his head and saw that Zhang Lu's eyes were straight, his face was distorted, and he seemed to be in a daze, and he couldn't help but feel even more angry in his heart, and was about to scold, when suddenly his heart moved and he understood. The reason why this Zhang Lu was afraid of himself and then easily surrendered was completely because he was only spared by a fire back then, and he must have been touched in his heart at this time.

Nan Ying sighed lightly, patted Zhang Lu and said, "Gongqi, if people can't overcome the fear in their hearts, they can no longer maintain the calmness and composure in their hearts!" ”

Zhang Lu turned his head, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, lord." I, alas, the light of the fire that rushed to the sky under the city, reminded me of that night of fear......."

"Enough!" Nan Ying interrupted him, "Today is the last time you will be weak, because, not only from today, only we can bring fear to the enemy, but more importantly, from this day on, you will gradually grow into the leader of Hanzhong!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Lu's frightened expression gradually faded, and his eyes brightened, Nan Ying took out his eagle knife and said with a smile: "So, please fight with me!" ”
