"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With the powerful beat of the drums, the imperial siege army began to advance steadily, and the officers and soldiers at the front raised their wooden shields above their heads as their only protection.

Wooden shields have limited protection, but they are effective against lightweight, ranged weapons. For example, bows and arrows can't penetrate such wooden shields, let alone those chicken-ribbed firearms.

As the besieging imperial army approached the city of Xianyang, the drumbeat in the rear became more and more urgent.

"Shoot!"

At a distance of two hundred paces, the archers finally exerted their strength, and under the orders of their respective captains, the first wave of ten thousand arrows was fired.

10,000 sharp arrows flew into the air and rolled down towards Xianyang City, like a hailstone.

However, the Dongjiang Army did not stand stupidly and be beaten later, as early as when the imperial army appeared, they were already fully prepared.

"Hide!"

Xu Fuzuo and Adou shouted in unison, and then the two of them quickly hid under the wall and stomped, each Dongjiang army also had a thick wooden plank in their hands, which could easily resist the rain of arrows that had little strength.

"Ding Ding Dong ......"

The arrows landed on the planks in a dense manner, making a rhythmic tapping sound!

The Dongjiang army dodged in time, and the imperial army was unscathed for them for the first time!

Mao Wenlong looked up at the dozen or so arrows that fell from the eaves, and asked Chen Jisheng behind him with a smile: "You said that the imperial army can launch a few waves of arrow rain at most?" ”

Chen Jisheng didn't even think about it, and immediately said something in his mouth: "When I shot the first arrow just now, I was two hundred steps away from the city wall. And for each salvo, you have to travel another ten steps before you can shoot a second wave of arrows. Extrapolating from this, the imperial army could theoretically shoot twenty waves of arrows. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and asked, "Then do you think they can only shoot a few waves in the end?" ”

This time, Chen Jisheng didn't even need to calculate, and replied directly: "My subordinates think that they can only shoot ten waves at most, that is, a total of 100,000 arrows!" ”

Mao Wenlong did not respond to Chen Jisheng, but suddenly opened the window, and then quickly pulled out an arrow on the beam. Holding it in his hand and watching it for a while, he said with pity: "These are just ordinary arrows, it seems that the court is really poor." ”

Chen Jisheng rolled his eyes directly when he heard this, and argued: "Chief soldier, you can't compare the imperial army with those Tartars!" Isn't their most powerful way of fighting is mounted archery? Since they are proficient in this way, of course, they need to spend more energy to build more elite bows and arrows. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and didn't say anything more, his eyes were always fixed on the battlefield. The Dongjiang army has always strictly adhered to his orders, not to return fire, and let the imperial army shoot enough arrows.

Xianyang City did not fight back at all in the face of the attack, which made Li Jie very puzzled. The 10,000 arrows are really powerful, but there is still a gap in the middle!

And the defenders of Xianyang City did not take the opportunity to fight back, which is completely illogical. Li Jie gradually frowned, he really couldn't understand what the defenders of Xianyang City were doing?

But seeing that the siege army was about to arrive at the city, Li Jie couldn't care so much. You can't just withdraw your troops because of your suspicions, right?

The imperial army finally arrived at the foot of Xianyang City very smoothly, and the vanguard siege soldiers immediately set up a ladder and began to climb up. And the archers behind them were still shooting arrows to cover them.

The 10,000 imperial army of the siege vanguard gathered densely under the city, scrambling to climb the ladder. From the charge to the present, the defenders of Xianyang City have not been seen to fight back.

These officers and men have begun to become numb, their morale is high, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

At this time, Xu Fuzuo and Adou began to order the Dongjiang Army to counterattack.

"Wood, Rolling Stones! Put....... ”

With the orders of Xu Fuzhu and Adou, the Dongjiang army on the city wall held their breath for a long time, and this will finally completely erupt.

I saw that countless rolling stones and sassal trees suddenly fell on the city wall, and the poor imperial army had nowhere to escape on the ladder, and the wooden shields in their hands that could defend against bows and arrows would not be able to withstand the impact of sassal trees and rolling stones.

All those who were smashed screamed miserably, and the screams fell directly to the ground from the mid-air of the ladder.

The imperial army besieging the city was counterattacked by the Dongjiang army, and immediately fell into chaos. And in addition to the wooden rolling stones to deal with those officers and soldiers who are climbing the ladder.

The Dongjiang army immediately used the arrows shot by those imperial army and directly picked it up and shot it back. Condescending archery is no better than the imperial army shooting up under the city.

This wave of counterattacks came too suddenly, and in an instant, the archers of the imperial court immediately suffered a large number of casualties. Because they didn't have any protection, they were directly facing the salvo of the Dongjiang Army.

Li Jie, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw a large number of casualties among the archers, but he was not worried. He had already expected that the defenders of Xianyang City were not doing something in secret, but they were just letting the imperial army get close and then fight.

Li Jie was overjoyed, and now he was no longer standing still and stupidly fighting with the defenders of Xianyang City, but he wanted to take the opportunity to immediately attack the city with all his might, maybe just this attack would be able to take Xianyang City.

Li Jie no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the horn of the general attack to be sounded!

"Woo......" The dull sound of the horn suddenly resounded in half the sky.

After hearing the sound of the trumpet, the imperial army began to attack the rolling stones and sassal trees that kept falling on their heads. Even in the end, Li Jie simply asked those archers to stop shooting, but even the vanguard also rushed up to climb the ladder.

20,000 vanguard soldiers were crowded under the south gate in a chaotic manner, constantly pouring up dozens of ladders.

In the attic on the city wall, Mao Wenlong said regretfully again: "Alas, it's a pity that only 20,000 people rushed up from the imperial army, which is still too little!" ”

Chen Jisheng's muscles twitched slightly, and Mao Wenlong was completely standing and talking at the moment without backache. If the Dongjiang Army kills these 20,000 people at once, I believe that Li Jie will turn around and run away as soon as possible.

When Mao Wenlong lamented that the enemy army was too few, the Dongjiang Army finally came up with the ultimate weapon, the 'Fierce Fire Oil Tank'.

The last time I dealt with the Fusang Sect, it only took ten fierce fire oil tanks to cause such a big scene. This time it is directly a hundred units, what kind of spectacular scene will it be later, Chen Jisheng is a little unimaginable.

"Hoo ......"

Xu Fuju and Adou ordered the fire to be lit almost at the same time.

I saw that a hundred fire dragons suddenly erupted from the city wall, and after the ignition was completed, a hundred fire dragons sprayed down the city at the same time!

Those officers and men who were already about to climb to the top suffered as soon as possible, and as soon as they were touched by the flames spewed out of the fierce oil tank, they immediately burst into flames and fell directly to the ground.
