One of the generals reported: "General, it is impossible to remember the wrong position, every soldier stands in the same position, full of bows, the same elevation angle, we have carried out many test shots, each time we can shoot at roughly the same position, the error will not exceed one foot, and the pyre is four feet high, four feet long and four feet wide, it is impossible to miss!" ”

"Then why wasn't the pyre lit?" Wan Ling shouted and asked, seeing that the general lowered his head and did not speak, he knew that this would be useless, so he immediately ordered: "Shoot one more round!" ”

"Yes!" The general agreed, "The archer listens, and the rocket fires one more round!" ”

The archers took out rockets and lit them, and shot arrows outside the city, and the rockets struck the pyres one by one across the night sky, but they failed to ignite the pyre, and the rockets were extinguished while burning.

This time, Wanling could see clearly that more than a dozen rockets did hit the pyre, but the pyre was not ignited, and some people extinguished the rockets, which can only show that the pyrewood was drenched with water, and the pyrewood that had already been drenched with fire oil could not be ignited only if it was drenched with water.

Wan Ling's heart sank, "It seems that the next thing is only a tough battle!" ”

He turned his head and said loudly to the Yan generals on the city wall: "The Wei army has touched it, everyone cheered me up and prepared to start a war, the Wei army came up and killed one for me, no one is allowed to retreat without an order!" ”

Torches were lit on the city walls, which made it easier for the defenders to carry the materials for defending the city and facilitate the deployment of troops, but also exposed the deployment of their own troops to the Wei army.

Cao Jiao observed for a moment and ordered: "Order the archers to march forward in line to the range of the archery and release arrows against the Yan army at the head of the city!" If the defenders find out where you are, immediately change the position and release the arrows! Give orders to the besieging soldiers, and as soon as our archers release their arrows, quickly start climbing and besieging the city! ”

The order was quickly delivered, and the archers approached the walls in a long procession, and the leading generals in front of them stopped their advance, and they followed.

The archers took arrows and put them on the bowstring to aim at the Yan soldiers on the city wall.

"Ahh

The Yan army defending the city was terrified, they could not see the enemy, but the enemy could see them and shoot arrows at them.

"Dodge, dodge!" Wan Ling turned his head and shouted at the generals, he was protected by a personal soldier with a shield, and shouted: "Archers come forward, counterattack, come forward and counterattack me!" ”

The infantrymen with swords retreated to the back, and the archers stepped forward to take over the defensive area, and after shooting an arrow outside the city, they immediately hid behind the female wall, and waited for the arrow to be wound before dodging out to shoot the arrow.

An archer had just dodged out from behind the battlements to shoot an arrow, but was stabbed to death by a long knife outside the wall, and the owner of the long knife drew his sword and quickly climbed up and knocked down the archer, jumped onto the wall, and he slashed two archers in succession with his sword.

The surrounding Yan soldiers were horrified, and immediately stepped forward to attack this person, and the two sides immediately fought each other, and the attacked Wei soldiers were stabbed into the body with a spear, but he tried his best to slash a Yan soldier to death before the temporary.

This Wei army had just died, and the body had not yet fallen, and another Wei army climbed up from outside the city wall, and he rushed into the Yan army and slashed and slashed it, and hacked to death two Yan soldiers before being hacked to death by other Yan soldiers.

More and more Wei troops climbed the city wall, and the pressure on the Yan soldiers defending the city increased, and since they were dodging arrows from outside the city, they had to fight with the attacking Wei army.

Cao Jiao was in a good mood, these Southern Dynasty troops were worthy of being specially used to attack the city, one by one they were agile when climbing the siege, and they were good at dodging the arrows shot from the city, the key was that they were not afraid when climbing the siege ladder, and this quality was not comparable to other Wei troops at all.

The situation was very good, Cao Jiao was happy in his heart, and ordered the herald: "Drum and cheer!" ”

"Knock ······" The passionate drums came from the rear, and the Wei soldiers who were besieging the city roared one by one, their blood surging, and they were more desperate to attack the city, and they were more fearless of death.

At the foot of the southwest corner of the Lulongsai city wall, Zhao Junsheng appeared here with his own soldiers, plus Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo, a total of more than 50 people.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and saw that the siege battle on the front city wall was well fought, and many Wei troops had already boarded the city wall in the first wave of attacks, and he waved to Li Bao and the others: "Prepare the climbing iron hook rope, follow me!" After saying that, he took the spear and took the lead to climb up the rocky hillside.

Li Bao and the others took out the rope with the iron hook bolted and followed Zhao Junsheng behind him, feeling the large and small rocks and crawling towards the hillside.

There is an arrow tower in the southeast corner, the city wall to the right of the arrow tower extends to the section of the city wall where the siege battle is taking place, the wall of the arrow tower to the back extends to the main city wall facing the outside of the fortress, and the middle is also connected with the city wall of the Lulong city tower.

The group sneaked to the bottom of the arrow tower, Zhao Junsheng took out the longbow, drew out two arrows and aimed at the two guards, two sharp arrows shot out at the same time, the two guards on the arrow tower were in the middle at the same time, one of them fell in the arrow tower, and the other lay on the guardrail.

Zhao Junsheng inserted the bow back into the bow sac, and at the same time instructed the soldiers: "Crossbow arrows are ready!" ”

A dozen or so soldiers lined up, each took out a crossbow from their backs, and they put the iron hook of the plum blossom tied to the rope into the arrow trough.

"Put-"

The soldiers shot out the plum blossom iron hooks, one by one the iron hooks dragged the ropes out and fell on the city wall, the soldiers withdrew the ropes, and the others immediately pulled the ropes tight, and one by one the plum blossom iron hooks hooked on the wall battlements.

Zhao Junsheng had already tied the spear to his back at this time, and he waved his big hand, "Go!" "Rush to the foot of the wall, grab a rope, and climb up the wall with your hands and feet.

This wall facing the inner pass is four zhang high, and it is still a little difficult for people who have not been trained to climb with ropes, but people who have undergone this kind of climbing training can easily climb up, even if Zhao Junsheng has the true qi of internal strength, he cannot eliminate the influence of gravity without ropes.

It only took Zhao Junsheng a few seconds to climb the city wall, but a patrol of the Yan Army came over with torches.

The leading Yan army commander saw Zhao Junsheng who had just jumped up, and immediately shouted: "What person? ”

Zhao Junsheng threw the spear in his hand with a lunge and raised his hand, and the silver spear slashed through the night sky and shot into the chest of the Yan army commander, and the spear penetrated the body of the five Yan soldiers walking in a straight line, and was nailed to the city wall from the body of the last Yan army.

"Puff puff ······" The sound of five falling to the ground in a row came out, and the five Yan soldiers fell to the ground one after another and died, Zhao Junsheng walked over quickly and pulled out the spear nailed to the ground, and there was not the slightest trace of blood on the spear, even the linen wrapped around the barrel of the gun was not stained with blood.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed the spear and walked back, at this time Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo had already climbed up with more than 20 personal soldiers, and more than 30 personal soldiers were climbing, he said to Li Bao and the others: "Follow me, the others will follow quickly!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the lead in bypassing the arrow tower, moving quickly along the city wall, he handed over the spear to a personal soldier to carry, and walked in front with a repeater crossbow, and soon encountered a patrol of the Yan army.

"Enemy ······"

"Whoosh!" Zhao Junsheng shot a crossbow arrow, and the Yan army patrol captain who only shouted two words was shot, and the other four Yan soldiers immediately shouted: "There is a Wei army to kill you!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shot four crossbow arrows in a row, and was shot and killed one by one by the Yan soldiers who rushed over while shouting, he was calm and calm, and after killing this patrol, he did not stop, and waved his big hand: "Go!" ”

Zhao Junsheng and others have been discovered, there are too many of them, it is difficult not to be discovered, all the way along the city wall to the north to kill, there are constantly Yan soldiers gathered to block them, Zhao Junsheng and others first shot with bows and arrows and crossbows, and then rushed up to attack in close quarters.

Cloud Building.

Cao Jiao's command of the overall situation to attack the city was too big, Hua Mulan and other more than 20 Wei soldiers trapped in the cloud tower were all awakened, and it was Mulan's turn to be on duty in the second half of the night, she didn't fall asleep at all, the Wei army launched the siege was the first time she learned about it, and then everyone was awakened.

"General, the friendly army is attacking the city, this time it must be a real siege, a large number of troops must be invested on the side of the wall of Wangri Tower, the siege of the Yan army against us will be relaxed, we can find a way to kill it!" Hua Hai said excitedly.

Hua Mulan didn't make a sound, she walked to the top wall of the big cloud building to play, and saw that the Yan soldiers had all woken up and strengthened the encirclement of the cloud building.

Hua Hai looked at it and said angrily: "It's a pity that we run out of arrows, otherwise in this situation, Yan Jun will be our live target!" ”

At this moment, a team of Yan soldiers ran over with bundles of dry firewood and piled them up under the corner of the cloud tower.

Hua Mulan's face changed, "It's not good, they want to set fire to the Cloud Tower!" ”

Hua Hai and the other twenty or so Wei soldiers were also shocked, and their faces showed fear one by one.

"General, they're going to set us on fire!"

Hua Mulan knew that it would not be burned to death, but once the fire was too big, it was likely to cause a lack of oxygen in the cloud building and the roof, and it could also cause the temperature to be too high, and they were afraid that they would be roasted alive.

"What to do, what to do, General, we will be roasted alive!" One of the soldiers broke down and wept bitterly.

Mulan's brain was running at high speed, she couldn't rush out, Yan Jun must have blocked the entrance, she quickly walked to the three wall battlements and looked down, Yan Jun was densely packed, and there were a large number of archers in the rear, so she couldn't rush out at all.

"No, there must be a way, there must be a way!" Mulan told herself to be calm.
