The heralds divided to the left and right, and quickly gave orders to the archers with bows and arrows on both sides.

The archers, who had received the military order, poked their bows and arrows out of the wall slightly, raised their left arms, and pulled the bows with force with their right arms, and as their right hands opened, the arrows were shot diagonally in the air in front of them.

If it were daytime, you could see the arrow cut through a graceful parabola in mid-air and fall into the firelight fifty or sixty feet away.

After the five arrows were fired, the next row of archers followed, and again began a fierce and rapid cycle, and they no longer cared what they could shoot, because in the darkness they could only see the distant light of the fire, and beyond that, they could see nothing.

Before the two hundred arrows were fired, the other soldiers immediately replenished them with hundreds from the city, ensuring that the bows and arrows would not stop raining down.

Yang Congyi and Su Zhong, who noticed the abnormal shape of the firelight waves, quickly ordered the archers to adjust their range and shoot forty-five zhang away.

Clusters of sharp arrows rained down into a vast area forty zhang away, and the enemy troops, who were originally very dissatisfied with the constant urging because the front army had stopped, were suddenly attacked by sharp arrows, and they shouted and cursed in a panic.

But after a few moments they understood where the arrows from the sky were coming from, and that it was impossible to move forward or backward, for those in front were squeezing backwards and those behind were urging them forward.

Long arrows rained down, and soon countless enemy troops fell.

Between the tugs and pushes, finally a wounded enemy could not stand the urging of the rear army to send them to death, and reflexively slashed at the rear army.

A scuffle between the front and rear armies ensued, and quickly spread across the line.

The incessant shooting of bows and arrows in the city intensified the intensity of the enemy's melee, and no one did not want to flee for their lives under the sharp arrows, and everyone who stopped them from retreating was their enemy, and if they were enemies, they had to fight each other with swords and guns.

From the top of the city, it can be seen that the neat firelight within half a mile to the north began to sway, and at the same time, the squiggly line of firelight closest to Liangshan City slowly receded.

The enemy forward was in disarray.

The archers also noticed the abnormality of the enemy army, and immediately seized the opportunity to attack, and each one of them pulled the stiff bowstring to the full, so that the arrows flew a longer distance.

Fifty zhang, sixty zhang, seventy zhang......

In a moment, the enemy front with the swaying fire further expanded, and the closest line of fire to Liangshan City was already forty zhang away, more than ten zhang back from the original wave of fire.

The archers stretched their bows in ten cycles, their arms were sore, and their arms were trembling, but no one wanted to rest, there was no doubt that they had blocked hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and they would win the battle, and at the last moment, even if they were tired, they would shoot the last arrow.

After another round of archer firing in a loop, the area where the northern firelight was swaying continued to expand, and the closest line of fire to Liangshan City had retreated to sixty zhang away.

Before the three rows of archers could finish shooting, the fire in the distance was still a sea, but the line of fire had retreated out of range.

The shooting in the city ceased, and the archers slumped to the ground, unable to look at the flickering fire in the north.

The commotion under the northern firelight did not diminish by the rain of arrows, but was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the chaotic southern area of the firelight ocean, the firelight flickering on and off, Yang Congyi secretly rejoiced.

If the enemy army is prepared and chooses to attack during the day, Liangshan City may not have a chance to hold this first attack. But now the situation is different, there are countless corpses left outside the city, and even tomorrow, when the enemy army is ready, the mountain of corpses will be an obstacle in their attack, and it will be difficult to attack without removing the corpses.

And to remove so many corpses, it will take at least three to five days, these corpses are within the range of the archers, if the Xuanwei army does not let them collect the corpses, the enemy will definitely not be able to easily clean up the corpses, at least it can delay their time to attack again.

Hundreds of thousands of troops faced with a crushing defeat and lack of food and drink, how many days can they hold out outside Liangshan City?

After tonight, the scales of victory have begun to tilt in favor of the Xuanwei army.

Looking at the line of fire receding little by little, the flickering light of the fire continued to spread, everyone in the city knew that today they had won, and they were unharmed.

A sea of sparks composed of more than 100,000 people, an overwhelming wave of attack, less than half an hour after the attack was launched, the whole line retreated in panic, and the neat fire in the north quickly began to mess up in a visible retrospective torrent, losing its original formation, and continuing to advance backwards and spread like waves.

The weak Xuanwei army and Liangshan Qingzhuang in the city, after recovering their strength a little, approached the wall battlements one after another, vying to watch the spectacular scene of the sea of stars and fire.

I saw that the sea of light and fire that had been leveled before advancing to Liangshan City was like a strong wind at this time, and the whole ocean was rippling in all directions, with light and shadow flickering, visible everywhere, flickering bright and dark, and experiencing an irrepressible disaster.

A few quarters of an hour later, the lines of fire retreated a mile away and continued to retreat, and they seemed to have no intention of stopping.

It was clear that the enemy had retreated, and everyone on the northern wall knew that the battle was over tonight.

However, they did not wait for the order to go down to the city to rest, but instead waited for the order to replenish bows and arrows and prepare for war.

Having just regained some strength, they quickly began the next round of preparations, carrying bundles of hard bows and arrows stacked under the city walls to the head of the city, and replenishing them into the piles of bows and arrows that were about to be exhausted.

In less than half an hour, more than 300,000 sharp arrows were consumed, and at this time, the city was replenished with more than 100,000 arrows, and even if there was another battle tonight, nearly 200,000 arrows in the city were enough to deal with it.

However, as the fire in the north grew farther and farther away, until most of it disappeared, the city became quieter and quieter.

A few hours later, the sky began to lighten, and the night passed, and the expected battle did not come again.

On this night, there was no fire in Liangshan City, and everyone in the city who participated in the battle guessed that the enemy might suffer heavy losses, because each of them shot fifty or sixty arrows, and there must have been many enemy soldiers killed or wounded.

But the sky gradually brightened, and they saw clearly that about twenty or thirty zhang outside the city, there was a mountain of corpses more than ten zhang wide and more than one person high, extending to the left and right like a gable to the end of the sight, and they were deeply shocked by this scene!

Many Liangshan young people couldn't help but retching on the head of the city, even the Xuanwei army who had experienced the ambush in the valley of the Three Buddhas, seeing this corpse mountain again, many people's throats and eyes were bursts of sour water rushing out.

At a glance, such a terrifying sight made them retreat a few feet in shock, not daring to look at it again.

Even if some are bold, after a few more glances, they feel uncomfortable, quietly turn their heads, or lower their eyelids, and turn their eyes elsewhere.

No one knows how many enemies died outside the city, only that it was a huge number, ten thousand or twenty thousand, or even thirty thousand, and who knows, no one had the heart to think about it.

Crossing the corpse wall and corpse mountain more than ten zhang wide, there is a corpse belt dozens of zhang wide, horizontal and vertical, and it is a corpse in one place, completely submerging the wild grass on the ground.

Further north, the corpses can still be seen everywhere, stretching into the distance that is no longer visible to the naked eye.

The enemy camp a mile north of the city could only be seen from a distance after the storm, with the tent landlords slumped and the occasional wisps of smoke rising.

The whole north was in shambles, with corpses lying all over the place, and thick smoke drifting in all directions accompanied by firelight.

The enemy should have fled back to the direction of Da Nan Pass at night.

Yang Congyi's stomach was sour, he resisted the strong urge to vomit, and looked at the north for a long time, after this battle, Li Yue's hundreds of thousands of troops should not come again in a short time.

"Order all the departments, stay on duty, and the rest go down to the city to rest."

After giving the order, Yang Congyi turned around and walked towards the west of the city.

The battle in the north was fierce, and there were many enemy troops near the east and west gates, and they also blocked the enemy troops, but they didn't know how to get them.

When Yang Congyi arrived to the west of the city, he saw that the scene outside the west gate was slightly inferior to that of the north, but there were not a few enemy troops killed, and the intensity was even worse than that of the north, there were many corpses on both sides of the moat, and the moat more than three zhang wide was also filled with corpses, there was no spectacular corpse mountain, but the corpse area extended from under the city wall to fifty or sixty zhang away, which showed that the enemy army outside the west gate was more brave than the north gate.

After listening to Liu Shi's report on the battle process, he only felt extremely thrilling.

Last night, the enemy troops outside the west gate came prepared, there were defenses and ladders, under the suppression of the rain of arrows on the city, they still rushed directly to the moat, crossed the water and reached the city, fortunately when crossing the river, the enemy's defense was difficult to take into account, giving the Xuanwei army a good opportunity to attack, and almost all of them were shot dead around the moat. However, the few enemy troops who reached the city could not quickly erect a ladder to climb the city in the dark night, and missed the opportunity and died in the sharp arrows on the city.

In short, the battle near the West Gate was thrilling.

The west gate was unharmed, and he immediately ordered him to rest.

Back in the city, although many Xuanwei soldiers and Qingzhuang were very hungry, they had no appetite to eat anything, and they still needed to rest and adjust.

And most of the people quickly returned to the camp to rest after eating a hot meal, who knows what kind of battle awaits them next, and if they want to survive, they must win every battle, they understand this truth.

After arranging the defense of the city, the generals came to the palace, and they wanted to celebrate this victory with the prison army.

Although they don't understand the big truth, they know that after the battle last night, even if the enemy still has 100,000 troops, I am afraid they will not dare to attack Liangshan City again, they won this battle, and Liangshan City was defended.

When they excitedly congratulated the prison army, they saw that the prison army frowned, and there was no joy of victory on their faces.

"Prison army, after this defeat, the enemy army will not come again, we have defended Liangshan City, we should celebrate." Su Zhong saw Yang Congyi's strange expression and asked directly.

Yang Congyi got up, paced a few steps, and then turned around and said, "The whole city is in the moat, and now how many corpses are in the moat?" Countless corpses outside the city were able to hold back the enemy attack and surround us. Those corpses, if they are not cleaned up within half a month, Liangshan City will be surrounded by rotting corpses, mosquitoes and insects, diseases and plagues, enough to destroy the entire Liangshan. Disaster is just around the corner, where is there to celebrate? ”
