Chapter 326: Arrow Rain Arrow Wall

When the military order came out, the pot lights that were burning near the north gate were quickly extinguished, and even the lanterns and torches that lit the city were also extinguished.

In a quarter of an hour, there was no light on the city or below.

After a brief period of restlessness in the dark, the defenders gradually adapted to the faint darkness of the night, and could see clearly within a kilometer, and the bows and arrows around them could be seen clearly.

At this point, the Xuanwei army completely hid itself in the dark, just waiting for the enemy to come and crash into their iron wall full of steel nails.

Before, the enemy retreated halfway, and once he was worried that the enemy army had a conspiracy, so he opened the armory and replenished a large number of bows and arrows for the defenders at the head of the city to prepare for the unexpected, but he did not expect Li Yue's army to suddenly go south, line up in the north of the city, and faintly take Liangshan with a faint momentum.

Although there are many additional bows and arrows, if you want to use the arrow wall to block the enemy's desperate charge in the dark, a hundred arrows per person is far from enough.

The Xuanwei Army and Liangshan Qingzhuang, who had been on standby near the north gate for a long time, quickly returned to the armory with the order arrows, and moved more bows and arrows to the vicinity of the north gate one by one, and replenished a hundred arrows and three bows for the defenders of the city.

When the bow and arrows were replenished, the north gate was completely blocked by a hill made of masonry and earth, and the soil was not dug up, and no matter how strong the force was, the north gate could not be opened from outside the city, because the people in the city did not think of going out from the north gate, the city gate was already integrated with the city wall, and it was extremely strong, even if the enemy army rushed through the moat to reach the gate, it could not push open these two gates, unless it could cut the one-foot-thick gate with a knife and gun, and then hollow out the mud and masonry inside, otherwise it could only climb over the wall more than two feet high.

The east gate has also been ordered to be completely closed for the safety of the city defense, as for the south gate, it is close to the big river, the terrain is narrow, and the enemy army cannot be opened, so it can be ignored for the time being.

Half an hour after the lights were extinguished, the east and west gates and the north gate had been integrated with the city wall, and there was no need to defend the city, so everyone climbed to the top of the city and squatted behind the archers near the wall as substitute archers, holding hard bows, waiting for the battle.

The Northern Spark Ocean has been burning for more than half an hour, and it has not been extinguished in the slightest, but the signs of attack are becoming more and more obvious, because the Spark has been moving slowly.

A moment later, a tsunami-like sound came from the north, one after another, one after another.

At the same time, the sea of sparks spread and approached Liangshan City like waves, which was visible to the naked eye.

Boundless firelight that lights up the night sky!

Roar and shout, shatter the sky!

An army of 100,000 is coming!

Like hunters, they come cheerfully to collect the prey in the trap.

Like beasts of prey, they return to their nests in anger to drive away the hunters in the caves.

A mile away, pouring in.

The speed at which they came was so fast, the ditches and hills were like flat ground, and the trees and trees were like wild grass, this was where they set out, this was their familiar territory, and they didn't need to look down at the road at all.

In the dark, the Xuanwei Army and Liangshan Qingzhuang, who were lying next to the wall, were shocked by the overwhelming terrain of the enemy army on the spot, looking at the sea of sparks that rushed straight forward, they suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away, and instinctively wanted to avoid the fire that came like waves.

But as soon as they turned around, they saw rows of people squatting behind them with stiff bows, and they immediately extinguished the idea of fleeing.

"All the arrows are on and ready to shoot!"

Almost as soon as they discovered that the enemy was rapidly approaching, Yang Congyi, Yuan Hua, and Su Zhong immediately issued an order to block the enemy army.

The shouts were deafening, and the enemy fire was getting closer.

100 zhang, 90 zhang, 80 zhang, 70 zhang...... Forty zhang!

Xuanwei Army, young and strong hands holding bows and arrows are fighting, standing at the forefront of the enemy, they can vaguely see the faces of the enemy running in the front row in the firelight, they are as hideous as evil ghosts, extremely terrifying, if it is not for someone on their backs, they really have the urge to put down the bow and arrow and run.

Thirty zhang!

"Put!"

Yuan Hua gave an order, and the archers immediately pulled the bowstring with trembling hands and shot the first arrow, and the sharp arrow flew in the darkness.

The archers were extremely nervous in the face of the tide of enemy troops, and many of them broke their hard bows and hurriedly grabbed new bows and arrows and fired them again.

Sharp arrows flew out and landed into the crowd of enemies with torches.

The archers nervously did not care to see if they would shoot the enemy, and continued to draw their arrows and bows, their only thought was to shoot more arrows and shoot arrows faster, and block the enemy who was heading straight for them.

After about five arrows were fired, the first platoon of soldiers who were anxiously waiting behind the archers immediately stepped forward with their bows, replaced the first archers, and pulled the strings of arrows, steadily shooting the arrows at the enemy. The replaced archers, with their bows, retreated to the last row, crouched down to rest, and if anyone noticed, many people's hands were still trembling, but in the dim night, no one could see clearly, and no one would pay attention to them.

The second group of archers, shot quickly and arrow-by-arrow, could only see a flash of fire in their eyes, and could only hear in their ears the cries that covered everything, and as for whether they could shoot the enemy, they did not know, they could not aim at night, and there was no time to aim now.

After five arrows, the archer immediately retreated, and the man who was waiting for him with the bow took a few steps forward, filled the gap, took the arrow and drew the bow, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and went straight into the enemy's group.

The second group of archers was replaced by the soldiers behind them almost at the same time, and when they returned to the last platoon and crouched down, they had no idea what had just happened, their minds were blank, they didn't have anything else loaded, they didn't see anything but a piece of fire, they just finished their task and shot five arrows.

The third group of archers was the same, in the sound of the enemy's shouts, they didn't have time to look, they didn't have time to think, they could only do one thing, take arrows and shoot, completely rely on instinct to shoot sharp arrows out of the city, no need to aim, no need to see if they hit, the arrows that flew out would go to find their targets.

After firing five arrows in an instant, they dodged and retreated, and the soldiers waiting behind them immediately stepped forward, took their arrows and drew their bows, and repeated their shooting movements.

The shouts of more than 100,000 people drowned out all other sounds, including the screams and cries of the enemy troops under the city.

The soldiers took turns as archers, shooting frantically between the dimly lit battlements, and the arrows rained down without stopping.

Sharp arrows and clusters fly like a horde of enemies.

Yang Congyi, Yuan Hua, Su Zhong and others stood behind the battlements, watching the enemy soldiers fall under the arrows one by one, and the torches fell to the ground.

The enemy army is endless, like ants, fearless, and keeps moving forward, not caring how many people have fallen in front of them, and not caring how many sharp arrows there are above their heads, as if they have been cursed by evil magic, howling in their mouths, holding swords, guns, sharp blades and torches, rushing towards Liangshan City, and falling under the sharp arrows.

After five groups of soldiers took turns shooting five arrows, the second cycle quickly began.

Even though the second round began, they were no longer as nervous as before, and few people had time to pay attention to the appearance and movement of the enemy in the fire outside the city, and only thought about shooting five arrows quickly and completing the attack mission.

With the end of the second round of archer cycles, under the constant suppression of sharp arrows like rain, few of the swarming enemy troops could dodge the arrows flying in the sky, rushed to the moat bank, and almost all fell between 20 and 30 zhang away from the city wall.

The third round of the cycle began without any pause, immediately starting with the arrow and the bow, even though ten arrows had been fired, the strength of the archer's bow still did not weaken in the slightest, and each arrow was as powerful as the first arrow, which could directly shoot through the enemy troops under the city without armor and leather protection.

The enemy had no ability to resist, and like madmen, they crashed headlong into the arrow wall, and took their flesh directly to withstand the sharp arrow attack, and the result can be imagined.

This was an unexpected killing, which the archers could not imagine, the battalion commanders could not imagine, and Yang Congyi could not imagine either.

After three rounds of circular attacks, the archers had already shot out seventy or eighty thousand arrows, and even though there was only a one-tenth hit rate, the enemy had fallen seven or eight thousand people, but the enemy charged in such a dense formation, and there was no defense to cover it, as long as the sharp arrows flew twenty feet away, there was no reason not to hit the enemy.

As the first enemy forces fell, the city's archers began to fire much faster than the enemy's charge, resulting in a large amount of arrows being wasted.

The northern sea of fire did not seem to have diminished by half a point, and the archers' firing speed dared not relax in the slightest, and sharp arrows flew out of the hard bows, flew down the city, and fell into the bodies of dead people, or living people who were about to become dead.

The charging enemy, with torches in high and weapons in hand, trampled on the corpses of his companions, ran forward, and then fell without warning in the dark shadows falling from the sky amid shouts from behind.

From thirty zhang under the city, looking up at Liangshan City, except for a black line left in the sky by the city head in the dark night, I can't see anything else, let alone sharp arrows, even the human heads between the wall buttresses can't be seen.

The sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami covered everything outside Liangshan City, except for the people who could feel the pain of the sharp arrow attack and fell quickly, and the people who watched them fall behind them, and they themselves were about to fall, no one knew that Liangshan City in the dark was frantically spitting out countless sharp arrows, maybe in the eyes of the people behind, Liangshan City, where the fire had been extinguished, was already empty, and it could be easily occupied.

The ten-zhang wide death zone slowly changed from a thick layer of corpses to a half-human-high corpse wall, and as the sharp arrows beside the archers quickly decreased, the corpse wall became higher and higher, and when the two hundred sharp arrows were almost finished, the wall was already one person high, and the enemy soldiers who died under the arrows did not know how many.

No matter how sluggish the enemy army is, it should be noticed that something is wrong, and there are fewer and fewer enemy troops climbing over the corpse wall, and the fire is burning within thirty kilometers.

The shouts that had lasted for more than a quarter of an hour gradually became chaotic, and a different kind of roaring and screaming could be heard.

The waves of firelight no longer continued to surging towards Liangshan City, they stopped, back and forth, and began to tug of war.

"Max Range Attack!"

Seeing that the situation had changed drastically, Yuan Hua's mind turned and he immediately ordered in a loud voice.
