Chapter 444: Counterattack

The war was fought against morale, and Li Huaitang did the opposite, delaying the attack, and only letting the crossbowmen take turns hunting the defenders on the city every day. The defenders could not always hide under the parapet all the time, and they had to take risks to eat, drink, and drink. The defenders felt no different from the prairie marmots that lived under the dark grounds, while the Ningyuan Iron Rider was a sturdy goshawk, and many of his companions died under the bloodthirsty claws of the other party every day.

The morale of the defenders is being drained little by little, up to Yi Xuan, down to the pawns, the mood is very conflicted, hoping that the enemy will never be able to break the city, and looking forward to Ning Yuan's iron cavalry to attack quickly, of course, Yi Xuan wants to regain morale through street fighting as soon as possible before the morale is all gone, and the idea of the soldiers at the bottom is to be able to stay away from this damn slaughterhouse and the city wall.

Painfully, there was no sign of an offensive on the part of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, at least not yet in sight of the defenders. The terrifying thing is that Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry seems to be addicted to hunting with a strong crossbow, and in the east of the city, the same mud and stone wall foundation is being built, and fear is spreading on the head of the eastern city.

Yi Wei suddenly figured out that this might be a trap set by Li Huaitang for him, forcing him to attack, otherwise, when the four city walls are under the threat of crossbow arrows, then Zhezhi City will be defenseless.

The night was cold, quiet, and pitch black. The city of Zhezhi City did not dare to light a single light, the light source would attract deadly crossbow arrows. Only the bonfire in the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry Barracks glowed, except for the stars in the sky.

"Is there a situation?" Gongsun Wenyuan inspected the front of the barracks as usual, and asked the crossbowmen on night duty on the tower.

"Don't worry, general, it's okay, I hope to see the people of Shi Guo pluck up the courage to come out and slip around." The proud soldiers on the tower replied. Caused a burst of laughter.

Gongsun Wenyuan shook his head, wanting to say something but held back.

After inspecting the barracks, Gongsun Wenyuan and his clothes lay down and didn't sleep for long, when the shouting and killing sound from the east of the city to the barracks woke him up.

The Dongcheng military camp flew to report that Yi Wei sent troops to try to destroy the foundation of the wall that was being built, but they were repulsed.

Yi's plot was shattered, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and jokes.

The night continued, drowsiness attacked everyone, and the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry Camp gradually fell silent.

On the walls of the northern city, the defenders silently lowered dozens of ropes. Hundreds of warriors crept down the ropes, fearing that the slightest movement might alarm the enemy.

McDonald's felt like a dream in the past few hours, and he was appointed as the leader of the death squad by Yi Wei, who had always been known for his timidity and caution. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the image of the death squad, or even the opposite, but Yi Yan actually did it. Yi Yan's vision is not very good, but his strategy is very good, and he uses it in a series of surprises, attacking the military camp in the east of the city is just an appetizer before a big meal, but the real target is the tower in the north of the city. The enemy could not have imagined that the defenders would send two death squads in the same night, and an easy victory in the first half of the night would surely paralyze the enemy's vigilance and create conditions for the second half of the night.

Three hundred steps away, with the firelight navigation in the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry Barracks, the warriors were able to grope their way to the target in the dark. Everything was just as McDonald's judged, the enemy camp north of the city was slack, and it could be seen through the jumping firelight that the enemy sentries were sleepy, unaware of the approaching danger.

"Don't alarm them, climb the tower!" Killing the sentries doesn't make much sense, and McDonald's is tasked with destroying the enemy's crossbow and setting fire to the tower. Of course, McDonald's felt that he was the commander and did not need to climb to carry out specific actions, and he looked around vigilantly, thinking from time to time whether it would be more appropriate to run away if he was found or fall to the ground and play dead.

It's close, it's very close, and it's two steps away from getting under the base of the wall. Suddenly, McDonald's felt empty under his feet, the ground supporting him disappeared, and the whole person lost his balance and fell straight down.

Broken! There are traps! McDonald's secretly said that it was not good, and his heart was half cold. He was not the only one who fell into the trap, he heard one exclamation after another, and the barking of dogs in the barracks.

It was as if McDonald's was stepping on a mechanism, inspiring countless rockets, and hundreds of lights drew beautiful traces in the air, falling outside the barracks, exposing the figure of the warriors of the Shiguo death squad.

"Run!" The conspiracy was revealed, and the death squad did not dare to die, so they turned around and ran wildly.

The answer to the Shi Guo death squad was countless feathered arrows, and the shameless Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry chose the way of dense coverage. Darkness was the only recourse for the death squads, and only a dozen of the hundreds of warriors escaped from the death zone of the rain of arrows by night.

The ropes hanging from the city walls were still there, and the warriors of the rest of their lives grabbed the life-saving straw and desperately climbed up. Jumping on the top of the city did not necessarily mean safety, and the defenders at the head of the city did not know whether they were attacked by night, and someone took the risk of lighting a fire, and the light of the fire gave guidance to the crossbowmen three hundred paces away.

Another advantage of the crossbow is that it can be fired at any time, as the crossbowman only needs to aim at the target and gently pull the trigger.

Several crossbow arrows whizzed at the same time, and one of the hapless warriors was shot in the neck, causing the corpse to split in two, bounded by the city wall, and the head of the volley fell outside the city, while the headless body fell into the city.

The defenders shouted and extinguished the fire, scolding the so-called daring warriors for bringing them bad luck.

When pulled up from the pit by a rope, McDonald's was glad that it was better to die than to live, even if it was a prisoner.

McDonald's felt very honored, and the person who pulled him up turned out to be the thunderous Li Huaitang.

"Damn! Why does it stink so much? Li Huaitang covered his nose and looked at McDonald's in disgust.

McDonald's looked aggrieved, the defenders didn't know when they dug so many traps under the foundation of the wall, and the traps were forgotten, I don't know which one lacked virtue actually placed a and urine bucket in the pit, and he happened to fall into it, contaminated with a peculiar smell.

"It's none of my business, me, my name is McDonald's, and there's a ...... down there"

"No wonder it stinks!" Li Huaitang kicked the explained McDonald's back to where it should have been.

"The general really expected things like a god, Yi Yan finally couldn't help it, knowing that it was a trap and had to drill into it!" Gongsun Wenyuan felt that the admiration in his heart needed to be expressed with five bodies to be appropriate enough.

"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, how can the carving insect trick escape the eyes of our general?" Lu Shangqing continued to do his fart, just to eliminate the bad influence.

Li Huaitang glared at him angrily, and said, "Where is so much nonsense, try the prisoners, well, this McDonald's will be dealt with by you." ”

"Huh?!" ……

Living to old age and learning to old age, Wang Zhongsi saw Li Huaitang's method of turning decay into magic, the hound had such a wonderful use in his hands, no wonder Ning Yuan Tieqi was not afraid of any night attack......
