Although the Danyang soldiers are very well organized and have strong combat effectiveness, they can't fly to the city wall after all. Unless the four long ladders behind can reach the city wall, or the car can knock the palace gate open.

He Jin forced the foreign army to take the lead, but he didn't let them die in vain. After all, his position as a general is also step by step, and he has risen from below, and he is no stranger to how to use soldiers. After Yuan Shu and several other private soldiers formed a queue and approached the city wall, He Jin sent a shooting battalion to follow behind, on the one hand, to provide long-range support to the infantry in front, and on the other hand, to force the army in front to fight hard.

In an ordinary army, those who can shoot a three-stone bow can be regarded as elite, but in the shooting battalion, soldiers who can shoot a three-stone strong bow abound. As they lined up in a neat line and began to approach, Chen Cheng noticed these armored crossbowmen at a glance. His own best weapon is the bow and arrow, and naturally pays special attention to the enemy's long-range strike force.

"Hey, it's the Danyang soldiers and the shooting battalion, and He Jin's capital is big enough!"

Chen Cheng pulled his bow again and shot at the Danyang soldiers who formed a battle formation. This time, instead of probing, he aimed at the gap that the enemy had accidentally exposed. Arrows burrowed through the gaps in the shields and pierced the thighs of the soldiers inside. Amid the screams, one of the soldiers fell to the ground, revealing a large gap.

Although the Danyang soldiers on the side immediately filled the gap, the Yue cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time at the head of the city, took the opportunity to shoot down several enemies. Seeing that the city head had been able to make an effective counterattack, Ji Ling immediately shouted, causing the Danyang soldiers to stop advancing and began to erect wooden platoons in place to block the arrows on the city head.

Chen Cheng held the bow in his hand and ordered: "Put up the curtain!" ”

The curtain that had just been completed was lifted up as if it were a dark cloud. Chen Cheng continued to order: "Let those eunuchs and palace maids carry the stones and wood under the city wall. ”

Originally, there were no such things in the palace, but as long as some pavilions were demolished, there was everything. If he is in a hurry, let alone the pavilion outside, he can even tear down the palace.

The tun chief who had spoken before hesitated for a moment, and said: "General, the enemy is outnumbered, and the palace is big, sooner or later it will not be able to hold it, why not ......"

Chen Cheng was silent for a while, and said, "Then we have to get He Jin to agree to pardon us, hey, it sounds like we really did something heinous." ”

Natun was relieved by his words, and turned around and shouted to his subordinates to prepare for battle.

Seeing that the general's side was powerful, the soldiers had a different mind. If his ability to control is a little worse, I'm afraid that he will be tied up immediately. Chen Cheng sighed in his heart, he was fighting the wrong battlefield at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and with the wrong opponent!

He didn't have much of it himself, but he waited until it was dark and left. But none of these pro-soldiers around him will probably survive. Even if He Jin can pardon the Yue Cavalry Battalion, can he still pardon him, the culprit, and the people around him?

Sixty paces away from the city, wooden platoons were being erected section by section, and several ladder carts were also surrounded by soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's command, and they were leaning towards the city wall. The attacking army's army chose four places to move together, and it was decided to rely on the superiority of troops to take it in one fell swoop.

The Yue cavalry in the city and the Xiyuan army worked together, firing bows and crossbows in unison, nailing all the soldiers near the ladder car to the ground. The soldiers who were exposed were shot dead, and several ladder trucks were still moving slowly. In the small space inside the ladder, more than a dozen soldiers were naked, pushing hard.

Huge wooden wheels rolled across the bluestone floor, leaving a visible mark. Even without the help of the soldiers outside, relying on the people inside, they can push the ladder cart on. Faced with such a turtle shell, Chen Cheng immediately asked the soldiers to ignite the grease behind the battlements and use rockets to deal with it.

He himself drew the Sunset Bow and pointed it at the armoured crossbowman who was already approaching eighty paces. Even at a distance of eighty paces, the arrows fired by Tei were still amazingly accurate and powerful. Even if a person is not killed on the spot, he or she will immediately lose his combat effectiveness.

Chen Cheng opened his bow unhurriedly, aiming carefully before each shot, and adjusting the crosshair according to the trajectory of the arrow. In this way, his high hit rate was terrifying, and anyone who dared to stand still and did not hold a leather card was shot down by him as if he were named.

Seeing the crossbowmen of the Shooting Battalion being shot down one by one, Captain Shooting immediately stopped his intention to let his soldiers move on. The armoured crossbowmen spread out in place, wide distances between them. Ignoring the arrows from the city, the crossbowmen sat down on the ground and kicked them away.

Several crossbowmen screamed and were crucified to the ground, but the rest of the men were unmoved, quickly put their crossbow bolts on the city, aimed them at the head of the city, and then fired a volley at the order of the officer. The strong crossbow used by the soldiers of the Shooting Battalion was six stones, and although it could only shoot directly, it was very powerful, and with just one volley, seven or eight people fell on the head of the city screaming. Had it not been for the veil, the number of casualties would have at least doubled.

Fortunately, although the crossbow is very powerful, it is very troublesome to wind. The more powerful the crossbow, the longer it will take to wind it. In the gap between the crossbowmen's winding, the Yue cavalry leaned out of the city, and arrows rained down on the positions of the crossbowmen of the Sound Battalion.

From time to time, crossbowmen were nailed to the ground by arrows falling from the sky, and the step bow used by Yue Qi was only three stones, and he could not kill with one blow like Chen Cheng. Many of the crossbowmen of the Shooting Battalion were not dead for a moment, wailing and wailing on the ground. The faces of the soldiers waiting in the rear changed greatly, they originally thought that this counterinsurgency was to pick up cheap and rob happily, but who knew that the enemy on the opposite side was so cruel, and did not care about the friendship of their former comrades.

Many soldiers ran empty-handed to the crossbowmen's positions, dragging their crossbowmen back. Chen Cheng opened his bow and landed his crosshair on an empty-handed enemy, hesitated for a second, and then released his fingers. In the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the soldier on the opposite side shook his body and immediately fell to the ground and died.

He was silent for less than a second for the enemy, and said in his heart: I'm sorry.

He Jin watched in silence as his soldiers were cut down like rice, and several generals around him were already scolding bitterly.

"Shameless!"

"God-damned thief," one of the generals said in a loud voice: "General, after the city is broken, none of the traitors inside can stay!" ”

The other generals agreed, and they didn't necessarily really want to kill all the people inside, but being on a battlefield like Shura's hell, they naturally had a murderous intent.

The crossbowmen finally finished winding, then loaded their crossbow bolts and aimed the lookout at the head of the city. Above, the officers shouted, "Pay attention to dodge!" ”

The soldiers who were shooting the arrows immediately hid behind the battlements, and then heard a torrential rain. A dense array of short crossbow bolts fired, and a few soldiers who could not dodge clutched their shoulders and fell screaming. The curtain was torn and many holes were opened, and the walls of the city, and wherever they could reach them, they were covered with a dense mass of crossbow arrows.

After the crossbowmen below had fired, the soldiers on the city immediately looked at the color, but there was another burst of crossbow bolts under the city. As soon as several soldiers poked their heads out, they were shot in the face by crossbow arrows, and before they could even scream, they were shot directly in the head. It turned out that the commander of the front command did not continue to let his subordinates fire in a volley, but divided the crossbowmen into three-point waves to maintain continuous suppression.

Chen Cheng was constantly moving between several battlements, changing places with every few arrows he shot. The crossbow bolts on the opposite side are powerful, and if they are shot elsewhere, it will be fine, and it will only lose some health, but if they are hit by the face door, it will be bad.

Fortunately, he asked the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to prepare a lot of cloth in advance, which not only topped his head, but also blocked in front of him, obscuring the view of the city. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to output so happily.

Yes, although a dozen people fell around him in a short time, he shot ten times as many enemies and gained a lot of experience. Coupled with the previous experience points, he rose several levels in a row, and after the strength value was increased to thirty, the agility value was increased to twenty-four, and the skill points were all added to the "Iron Bone" and "Strong Bow", sending these two skills directly to the state of full level.

Now that he is going down with an arrow, the damage is much greater.

After a while, the casualties on the covered city were obviously much smaller. Although the crossbowmen of the shooting battalion under the city also have armor, for the convenience of movement, most of them are wearing armor or armor, and few are wearing iron armor, which is due to heavy casualties.

Chen Cheng knew very well what the other party was shooting at like this, and on the small map, groups of red dots were quietly gathering. And those places where the red dots are clustered are the houses near the palace. But what he didn't understand was that hiding in a dwelling could certainly block the attack on the city, but it also lost the means to attack.

When the castle can shoot the castle, it will only be easier to shoot the castle below.

Chen Cheng was distracted, shooting the enemy under the city while thinking about the enemy's intentions. When the "strong bow" reaches level 10, the bow and arrow can exert 200% power in his hands. Every time the bowstring vibrates, one person can die. After shooting so many enemies, the proficiency of the bow and arrow continued to rise, exceeding four hundred and fifty, and was slowly approaching the proficiency of five hundred.

Because the soldiers who were helping to push outside were shot one after another, the ladder cart moved very slowly, and when more than 400 people were killed and wounded under the city, it moved less than half the distance. At this rate of casualties, by the time the ladder cart approached the city wall, I was afraid that more than 2,000 crossbowmen would be killed or wounded.

Outside the White Tiger Gate, Captain Shooting Sound really couldn't stand such casualties, and looked back at He Jin several times. saw He Jin sitting safely under the umbrella of Huang Luo, as if he was not seeing the corpses all over the ground in front of him.

"Collapse!"

The terrifying sound of the bowstring at the head of the city sounded again, and another crossbowman screamed and dropped his weapon.

The expression on Captain Shotsheng's face changed several times, and he couldn't help but throw the Han sword in his hand to the ground, turned around and ran out of dozens of parts, jumped on the horse, and rushed to the front of He Jin's car. He was stopped thirty steps away by He Jin's own soldiers, and said loudly: "General, it's okay!" ”

He Jin stared at the captain for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Drumming!" ”

A moment later, the drums and trumpets in the rear of the army were sounded. There was a sound in the houses near the palace, the roof tiles were lifted, and the insects shook their wings with a "buzzing" sound, and countless fires flew up and flew towards the castle.
