After a rain of arrows, less than a hundred barbarian warriors fell to the ground, all of which were caused by the Yuan Shu crossbowmen!

Only one brute rushed too fast, and was not struck by an arrow at fifty paces, and though it was not a crossbow arrow, it was pierced through the heart, and fell to the ground with a pop, and was silent again.

Liu Qi was also dumbfounded when he saw it.

No wonder people don't wear armor, it's not because they're poor, but because their skin is thick enough!

On the other hand, on the defenders' side, the barbarian warriors all carried javelins and threw them when they reached the distance.

After a hundred steps, it was able to directly penetrate the shield of the second-level sword and shield soldier, and shoot through the crossbowmen behind.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen archers and sword and shield soldiers were killed!

After being surprised, Wei Xiaokuan reacted and quickly adjusted his order.

"The crossbowmen of the Yuan Shu continue, put on the oil, the people assist, and the archers release the rockets!"

is worthy of being a master of defending the city, and the big guy who defended Yubi City from the hands of 100,000 elites of the Eastern Wei Dynasty with a weak brigade of less than 10,000 was indeed very fast.

It is completely impossible to put fifty paces and then release the arrow, it is too close to the city wall, it is a target for the defenders to use as a javelin!

Since the lethality of bows and arrows is not enough, simply add fire oil.

Everyone is human, no matter how thick the skin is, can it still have a fireproof effect?!

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of rockets were fired, supplemented by oil canisters fired by catapults, and in a short time a fire broke out under the city, causing a group of barbarian warriors to cry and cry for their fathers and mothers.

The third-level archer is not yet able to do 100 shots, but his grasp of the range is extremely accurate.

In a moment's time, the vast plain under the city walls became a sea of fire!

The dense javelins also disappeared in an instant, and the Yuan Shu crossbowmen who had been suppressed again poked their heads out and fired condescendingly.

"Haha, it's worthy of filial piety, well done!"

Liu Qi's face was also flushed with heat, but he was very excited.

"The lord praises it yet."

Wei Xiaokuan smiled calmly and waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”

"Whoosh!"

Pieces of cold light flashed, and when I looked closely, it was countless small and sharp thistles, which were thrown down by catapults!

The exchange price of thistle terrestris is very cheap, and it is calculated in "batches", and a batch is a hundred.

Liu Qi didn't feel distressed when he exchanged it, and together with the rolling wood stone, he exchanged ten batches of 1,000 pieces!

Originally, I didn't see that there was an iron thistle formation under the city, and I thought that Wei Xiaokuan didn't plan to use it when defending the city, but he had this kind of thought!

The iron thistle made of fine iron was thrown from the castle tower, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned red by the raging fire.

None of the barbarian warriors wore shoes.

Barefoot stepping on the red-burned, sharp and abnormal thistle terrestris, that taste, who really stepped on who knows!

In an instant, the barbarian army that had already reorganized its formation and slowly retreated to bypass the sea of fire screamed and screamed, and countless soldiers howled and rolled to the ground, all on fire, and brought over a group of comrades.

The army fell stubble after stubble at domino speed, screams and shouts mixed together, and the chaos was incomparable.

The crossbowmen at the head of the city completely lost their suppression, and a single arrow took the life of a barbarian warrior.

The archers were slightly less lethal and continued to fire rockets and fuel bags, making the fire more and more intense.

Anyway, a hundred steps away, it is a windless weather, and no matter how much it burns, it can't burn the city gate building!

Catapults and bed crossbows are separated from the best killing distance and exert the greatest effect. When there is a "boom", it can often knock down more than a dozen people.

It's just a blink of an eye, and the barbarian army, which was still aggressive and had the upper hand a second ago, lost thousands of people!

Not only that, but those wooden siege weapons, such as battering rams, ramming wood, ladders, etc., were all burned clean by a fire.

The barbarian leader, who did not prepare the rear army and threw all his troops and equipment into the battlefield, was dumbfounded for a moment.

Without battering rams and ladders, how are they going to storm the city?!

Liu Qi laughed: "If you have such a ability, don't say it earlier, filial piety, I hurt my son to worry all night, you are so bold!" ”

Of course, this is not to blame, Wei Xiaokuan bowed vainly, and asked for the guilt with a smile: "The lord forgives the sin, and the subordinates are willing to atone for their sins and give the heads of the more than a thousand barbarians to the lord!" ”

"Haha, good!"

Huo Quzhi also laughed when he saw this, and hammered Wei Xiaokuan's chest: "Okay, you Brother Wei, you plan to take away all the credit and not let the little brother touch his hands!" ”

The three of them laughed happily, but their mood was not as relaxed as they appeared.

After all, the barbarians are outnumbered, and the fire attack and the surprise attack of the thistle terrestris can only delay the enemy's attack at most, and cannot completely solve the problem.

Sure enough, the barbarian first mate roared angrily, lifted his mace and joined the battlefield, yelling and ordering his subordinates to move on!

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The main general participated in the battle, and the morale of the barbarian warriors was greatly boosted, and they actually used their lives to break through the sword mountain and sea of fire with the corpses of their companions as a pedal, and finally approached the city wall!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

One javelin after another did not enter the city wall, and it was so dense that it went straight to the wall.

Wei Xiao's wide face sank like water: "They want to use javelins instead of ladders and climb the city wall directly!" ”

Without an order, the rolling wood and stones were pushed down one after another. Knock down one barbarian warrior after another, screaming and falling off the wall.

However, although it is dangerous to climb with a javelin, there is no constraint of a ladder, and the troops do not need to be concentrated, and the walls are densely packed with climbing barbarian warriors.

Even if the people were not afraid of death, braving the javelins that were constantly being fired to push down the rolling wood, they could not stop all the barbarians.

Soon, the first barbarian warriors climbed the city walls. Even though it was cut down immediately, it was still a bad omen.

The distance is too close to continue to attack with fire, so you can only return to the most primitive tactics.

"The crossbowmen retreat and disperse, the sword and shield bearers and pikemen are on!"

"Wu!"

The well-trained soldiers immediately changed formations, and the crossbowmen took a back seat, scattering in search of an opportunity to fire.

The rest of the foot soldiers were grouped up in groups of two sword and shield men and one pikemen, and the enemy came up, one sword and shield soldier raised his shield to fend off the attack, one rammed the enemy with a giant shield, and the pikemen took the opportunity to stab their spears.

For every death, the comrades behind him will immediately make up for it.

At this point, no tactics will come in handy, it will be a contest of pure flesh and blood!

The barbarians are brave, and the defenders of the city are fearless, and it is difficult to give up for a while. Flesh and limbs were raised, and the smell of blood filled the nasal cavity.

Behind it are peaceful and stable fields and houses, but above the city tower, it is already a Shura hell!

Liu Qi frowned, knowing that being reckless would only cause trouble to his subordinates, and he had already retreated to the city gate tower with great self-awareness.

It's not completely impossible to do things, though.

Looking at the barbarian army that was still surging outside the city, Liu Qi endured his stomach and asked Huo Quzhi, who was guarding his side: "Give you 50 iron horses, can you kill the barbarian general for me?" ”
