Chapter 231: Siege by Wooden Walls

But the Annamites did not retreat, and the archers kept shooting arrows like this, and the arrows in the city were not enough for them to shoot for long.

I can't see what the Annam people are doing behind the wooden wall, I don't know what tricks they have, do they want the defenders to run out of arrows, and then they can attack the city with confidence?

As soon as Coach Xiang Mutou thought of this, and then looked at the wooden wall full of sharp arrows, he instantly understood the tricks of the Annamite people!

They hid behind the wooden wall, firstly, to consume the military resources of the defenders of the city, secondly, they could wait for the retreat to take off the sharp arrows on the planks for their own use, and thirdly, they were very close to the city, which would put great pressure on the defenders. They have won many birds in one fell swoop, and the Annan people are really cunning!

Once he saw it through, Commander Shomoto immediately ordered the archers to stop shooting.

The commander gave an order, and although the generals didn't know why, they hurried to deliver the order in person.

Marshal Hongliye is also puzzled, the enemy is within fifty steps of the city, such a close distance, it is the time for the archers to exert the maximum lethality, now if they do not use the bow and arrow to suppress, they will easily attack, once they rush to the city, the archers will be useless, and then they will have to meet each other in short arms, and the advantage of defending the city will be gone.

Commander Xiang Mu Tou saw the confusion of the people, so he broke the tricks of the Annam people in one fell swoop at the head of the city and told everyone about it.

After everyone heard this, they first scolded the Annan people for their cunning, and then praised the handsome and wise, even the Annan people could see through this kind of trick, and the beautiful words went straight to the head coach of Xiangqi Mutou.

He looked at the Annanites who began to retreat with planks under the city, and his heart was very useful.

Seeing through the tricks of the enemy army in Annam, he showed his wisdom in front of Marshal Hongliye and his generals, which attracted the admiration of these young generals, and I believe that his prestige will soon spread throughout the city, and he will be the first general of the city in the future!

It was getting dark, and the enemy forces in Annam retreated a mile away.

Just as they were about to go down to the city, they heard a trumpet in the distance suddenly sound, and in a blink of an eye, they saw the Annanites attacking again.

This time they dragged the planks two hundred paces away, put them on their heads again, and rushed down the city together.

"Don't let the arrows go, see what they do!"

As soon as they saw that the Annan people were still doing this, since the generals had seen through their tricks, how could they still be fooled and waste their limited military resources.

At the sound of the order, all the archers in the city put down their bows and arrows, and they also wanted to see what tricks the Annamites were going to play.

Without a rain of arrows to stop them, the Annamites quickly came to a distance of about fifty paces from the city wall with wooden planks on their heads, only to see them erect the planks as before, and once again form a wooden wall.

But just when the city relaxed its vigilance and wanted to see how the Annamite people would play next, they were greeted by a rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the unsuspecting defenders were hit by arrows one after another, and suddenly screams were everywhere, and the city was instantly panicked.

Even among the generals wearing leather armor, in the face of the sudden rain of arrows, there were several dead and wounded, among which there was a young general, with his head, face and neck, who was hit by three arrows in a row, and died on the spot.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Commander Xiang Mu Tou saw that the general next to him was killed by an arrow, and hurriedly ordered the archers to return fire.

After all, there were still a few people in the city who were hit by arrows, and as soon as everyone heard the angry shouts of the marshal, they immediately opened their bows and set up arrows, and the sharp arrows shot towards the Annamite people like flying locusts!

But the cunning Annamite people, after a sudden round of arrow rain, hid behind the wooden wall, and the dense rain of arrows from the city all shot on the plank, or flew over the top of the plank and flew farther away.

A round of arrows did not work, the commander did not have a new order, and the archers were afraid that the enemy would attack again, so they shot sharp arrows at the Annam people one after another.

However, round after round of arrow rain were all blocked by wooden planks, and it was difficult to hurt the Annan people at all.

In a short time, the planks were filled with sharp arrows.

There was no need for the defenders of the city to do anything, and the Annamite slowly retreated with the planks in tow, and returned to a mile away.

The Annamites have succeeded again!

The generals and soldiers of the defenders of the city watched all this happen, but they were powerless to stop it, and there was nothing they could do.

Are the Annanites here to deceive arrows? After the sneak attack just now, Coach Xiang Mu Tou didn't dare to make up his mind anymore.

The enemy's plank siege was so clever that he couldn't think of a way to crack it. Is it just to let them collect arrows infinitely, these are all their military funds, without these military funds, what will they do to resist the attack of the Annamite people in the future?

The generals' faces were not good-looking, and before they could figure out a way, the Annan people came again with wooden planks.

Two hundred steps away to jack up the plank, about fifty steps to erect the plank, the same tactic, this is the third time.

This time, the defenders of the city did not dare to wait for the enemy to shoot arrows first, and as soon as the planks of the Annamite were erected, the archers stretched their bows, and the sharp arrows flew straight through with a whistling and nailed into the planks.

The archers of the defending army have learned to be obedient, knowing that the enemy is here to deceive the arrows, how can they still continue to release arrows as before. Their archery speed has slowed down a lot, and in the same time, the first two times they can shoot five arrows, now they only shoot three, and for ordinary archers, they do not seek to kill the enemy, but only to suppress the enemy, and prevent them from recklessly returning fire with bows and arrows.

When the planks were full of sharp arrows, the Annam people dragged the planks and retreated.

Commander Xiang Mu Tou is very painful now, if the enemy's trick is not broken, it will not take two days, and the arrows in the city will run out, how can the city be defended by then? Maybe it can only be broken by the Annanites.

It was already dark, and the Annanites came again with wooden planks.

The city is blurred, and the fire on the city is very bright, so that the Annan people are in the dark, but the defenders of the city are in the light, and the sharp arrows that shoot down cannot find the target and do not know where to fly, while the sharp arrows that occasionally fly under the city can accurately shoot and injure the defenders. As a result, the archers had to increase the rate of fire, and under the constant suppression of sharp arrows, Annan was a little more honest and did not dare to fight back easily, otherwise he would be shot into a hedgehog even in the dark.

You must find a way, it's not a way to go on like this!

"Marshal, can we attack with fire and burn the enemy's planks?" Suddenly, a general prompted on the side.

"Yes, fire attack!"

"Fire attack!"

The generals had watched the Annan people perform five or six times in the city, and when they were in a hurry, when they heard such a sentence, they were immediately overjoyed and echoed it.

"Bring the lamp oil, bring the sackcloth!" After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was completely feasible, so he gave an order.

In a short time, the lamp oil and linen were all carried to the city.

After sackcloth dipped in oil and tied to the arrow, the counterattack of the Cham people began.

Ignited rockets, flying fifty paces with the light of the fire, plunged from the end of the city into the wooden walls of the Annamite people. The first rocket illuminated the target's plank, and all the fiery arrows whistled away, and in a matter of moments, the plank was submerged in the flames.

For the first time, the defenders of the city saw the Annamites retreat in a panic with their burning planks.

When the generals saw that the rockets were effective, they were overjoyed and immediately ordered the archers not to stop and continue to release arrows until all the planks of the Annamite were burned!

The Annamite were defeated, and the planks were burned, so they could no longer collect the arrows, and even if they retreated in time and the planks were not rotten, the sharp arrows on the planks would be burned out, and they could not immediately turn them into weapons for returning fire.

After waiting for half an hour, the Annan people were no longer seen coming forward with the planks on their heads, and they were as if they had disappeared, and they were never seen again.

There is no doubt that the Cham people have cracked the tricks of the Annamite people, and they have won this battle!

Commander Xiang Mu Tou was very happy, and he immediately said that he would give a heavy reward to the general who proposed the fire attack.

However, due to the fact that it was dark and the city was too chaotic, many people echoed the fire attack as soon as it was proposed, and it was not clear who was the first to propose it.

But since he said that he wanted to be rewarded, then he must be rewarded, he couldn't be sure, it wasn't that he didn't know, so he chose the person closest to him and immediately rewarded him with a hundred gold.

One hundred gold! This is definitely a large number of people guarding the border gates. It's enough to buy a lot of women, enough to buy a big field, it's just a hair!

The general who received the reward was so excited that he immediately invited the generals in the city to drink.

But this victory is the victory of Coach Xiangqi Mutou, where is the turn to get a small general to entertain guests, everyone greets, defends well, leaves two generals, and then returns to the Shuaifu again, continues to drink and eat meat, watch songs and dances, and play with women.

No one knew that there was a lonely figure under the city, and it was the general on duty, Ge Zhinaye.

When the army of Annam arrived, there was nothing for him to do in the city, and when the reinforcements of the Marshal Hongliye arrived, there was nothing for him in the city, and when the enemy began to attack, he would be dispensable. He is just a general on duty who guards the city when no enemy army comes, and to put it mildly, he is a gatekeeper.

Normally, he can still patrol the city, but if he really wants to fight, he has to go aside, the defenders of the city will not be defeated, and if the city is not broken, it will not be considered defeated, Vijaya has long recognized this statement, because the Annan people are very powerful. So every time the Annamites attacked, it was always the Champangs who won.

The merit of this victory, only those who have status, are entitled to share, and he is not qualified. Every time before the war began, he was excluded, and the merits naturally could not have half of his points.

Tonight the enemy was attacking, and when he heard that the defenders were overwhelmed by the enemy's tricks, he crept up to the top of the city and saw with his own eyes the enemy's attack. The marshal told him to think about something, so he hid aside, thinking hard about the way to break the enemy, and finally he came up with a fire attack or maybe break the enemy's tricks, he was excited for a while, so he shouted directly, who knew that as soon as everyone agreed, the merits that originally belonged to him were snatched away by others, this kind of opportunity to get the award was not easy to get the award, careless, but the pain of giving away, directly crushed him.

What a rare feat, maybe this is his only chance to get ahead, he was buried like this, how not to regret it, how not to be sad, how not to be lonely?
