Cheng Pu was dressed in a military uniform and held an iron spine snake spear. He looked at the enemy troops who were ready to move, waved behind him, and the herald standing behind him gestured to the flag commander standing on the inner wall.

Violent drums suddenly rang out over Luronse.

The horn of the great war has sounded, the drums of war have been beaten, and the prelude to the decisive battle is about to begin.

The soldiers on this side of the main building of the fortress looked at the movement of the enemy camp for a while, and then looked at the main wall of their own house, looking very nervous. Especially Liu He's newly recruited soldiers, most of them had never participated in a real battle, they clutched their weapons, their mouths slightly open, and their hearts were beating violently.

At this time, Liu He's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted an earth-shattering roar: "Shield." ”

He saw a black cloud floating over the trees, and he could hear the terrible cry of the black cloud tearing through the air.

The Suli Department attacked first.

Liu He's roar woke up many people, and the shield bearer involuntarily raised his shield, turned his head to look at Liu He, who was clinging to the city wall, and then heard the sound of bows and arrows, they screamed in horror, and immediately squatted down and erected a big shield. The soldiers without a shield were like frightened rabbits, and in the blink of an eye they crawled and hid inside the city wall, and one by one instinctively held their heads with their hands and pressed against the root of the wall, and for a while there was no one on the top of the wall except the soldiers hiding behind the shields.

A huge rain of black arrows roared, and the long arrows were nailed to the main tower with a piercing sound of wind and thunder, and there was a terrifying sound of "whoosh, thump, crackle" on the city wall. Some arrows fell outside the city wall because they did not have enough range, some flew out of the city wall because they were too far away, and the long arrows that fell on the city wall were wielded with great power. Some of the shieldmen were knocked down by the tremendous force of many long arrows; Some of the long arrows bounced off the ground, but they still drilled into the soldiers' bodies with full strength. The wooden roof and wooden pillars of the main building are full of long arrows stuck diagonally on the doors and windows.

Standing on the mountainside, very satisfied with the wonderful performance of his soldiers, he said loudly to the herald standing behind him, "Order the bow team to continue shooting." ”

"Blow the trumpet and order the front army to throw dirt bags near the wall." Su Li turned to the horn soldier and shouted.

The five hundred soldiers who had all been arranged behind the dirt bags were all strong men. They stood near a dozen piles of dirt bags and were ready to attack.

When a commander heard the sound of the trumpet, he immediately shouted: "Upper shoulder...".

The soldiers worked in pairs, one squatting on the ground and the other grabbing a bag of dirt and placing it on each other's shoulders.

"Rush..."With the order of the commander, more than 200 soldiers roared with earthen bags and ran towards the city wall. A denser rain of arrows whistled above them.

Cheng Pu glanced at it calmly and calmly, and then still stared intently, and the Hu army that was slowly coming out of the camp was not moved at all.

Liu He took advantage of the interval between the arrow rain and stretched out his head to look outside the city wall, but before he showed his head, he was swept by an arrow fired in front of him. But he heard the shouts of hundreds of soldiers, the sound of running, and the sound of heavy objects being thrown under the walls from outside the walls.

"My lord! It seems that they are going to fill in the platform on the mountainside, so that they can set up a ladder to attack. Xu Rong said holding his shield.

"Damn! It's just that now the arrows in the sky are flying like locusts, and they can't stick their heads out at all! Not to mention the implementation of the blockade. Liu He scolded.

At this time, Wuyan, Que Ji, and the leaders of the newly arrived Xiong clan led 7,000 troops to line up under the city of Lulongsai, and the flags fluttered and the sea of people was quite spectacular.

The main direction of attack they chose on the battlefield was the left side of the main building of the fortress, and at this time, Su Li and his troops were attacking the auxiliary building on the right, and the Han army had no way to help the troops on the left side of the main city wall to defend.

Cheng Pu stood on the city wall and saw the enemy's intentions, and he shouted loudly: "Yigong! ”

Han Dang was not far from him to command the men and horses on the left city wall to defend, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly ran over.

"The enemy's main attack must be on the left! You tell the brothers to be resolute in their fight against the enemy. ”

"No."

The horn sounded, and Uyan's troops began to unfold their formation. Crossbowmen and cavalry archers began to advance, and the assault infantry carried eight-zhang long ladders in groups of ten, and behind each ladder were assault squads of twenty men, men with swords in one hand and shields in the other.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, Suli's soldiers successfully threw more than 1,000 bags of earth under the base of the city wall. A small mound that can accommodate a dozen ladders has been formed.

Su Li waved his arm vigorously, and the former army that had just thrown the dirt bag immediately retreated to both sides, and a hundred soldiers who had set up ladders roared, carrying ten ladders and holding shields and rushing towards the city wall.

The dense bow cover stopped.

Liu He looked at the sky as if there was no more crazy shooting, he slowly stood up and saw the siege soldiers rushing out of the woods. He shouted: "The enemy is attacking!" Boyu and Hansheng ordered their troops to prepare for battle. ”

"Archer shooting! Shoot at will..."Liu He shouted loudly and shot the first arrow of the Lulongsai soldiers against the invasion.

The enemy raised their shields and fended off the arrows that fell from the city, and they fought their way forward. The power of the two or three hundred shots was too small, and the long arrows that spilled into the enemy's shock formation were like splashing a little water on the surface of a pond. Immediately, from the cloud tower, from the other defensive sides of the city wall, the Han soldiers shot angry arrows at the enemy troops running below the city.

Su Li's strongbow shooting unit suddenly appeared on the hillside, their strongbow was the most famous bow of the Xianbei tribe, and it was a specialty of the Xianbei longbow tribe in the east, and its powerful range was far more solid and easy to use than ordinary bows. Although the soldiers of the strongbow unit were exposed to the range of the Han army's bows and arrows, they were not afraid to fire suppressively at the Han army on the tower under the roar of a centurion, in order to cover their infantry brothers from approaching the city walls.

The Han soldiers were immediately pierced by the powerful arrows, but in the face of more siege enemy soldiers pouring under the city walls, they could no longer care about dodging the enemy's fire, and could only do their best to block the more threatening enemy.

Huang Zhong's roar rang out: "The Zuotun soldiers shoot the enemy archers!" Shoot..."

The Xianbei soldiers resolutely and tenaciously advanced under the city walls, and the soldiers put their shields on their heads and quickly set up the ladder to the city. Due to the gap between the dirt bags, the feet of the ladder were deeply inserted into the dirt bags, which was obviously more secure and less likely to be pushed down by the defenders than if it were placed on the ground.

Su Li gave the order again, and the first three hundred siege soldiers poured out of the mountainside like a tidal wave under the command of the sound of the trumpet. They roared wildly, swords in one hand and shields in the other, and rushed towards the ten ladders.

Guan Yu led another group of soldiers to replenish it, and he pulled out his ring head knife and shouted at the soldiers around him: "Shoot!" Intensive shooting..."

Running enemy soldiers were constantly falling from arrows, and screams, whistling arrows, and shouts of killing filled the entire battlefield.

The enemy began to climb the ladder.

Cheng Pu turned a deaf ear to the fierce engagement in the annex, believing that it was a harassing tactic of the enemy and that there was nothing to pay attention to. Moreover, the slope of the mountain is steep and high, and even if the enemy wants to attack the city, he cannot find a place to place the ladder, and it is difficult for the siege team to deploy. The soldiers must have suffered huge casualties in the unfavorable terrain, and no one would make it the focus of their attacks unless they were a lunatic who knew nothing.

Seeing that the enemy had entered the firing range, Cheng Pu turned around and shouted, "Beat the drum!" The shield-bearer is in front, the archers are in the back, ready to fire a salvo. ”

Orders, one after another, were conveyed to the ears of the soldiers by commanders at all levels. As the battle flag waved, the shield-bearers crouched down in unison.

Uyan under the city turned around and shouted behind him: "Order the shield soldiers to raise their shields, and the archers to prepare!" Continue to stagger forward. ”

Cheng Pu held up the Iron Spine Snake Spear and pointed forward vigorously, "Shoot..."

Almost at the same moment, hundreds of long arrows leaped into the air.

Uyan shouted, "Shoot..."

Both sides began to shoot at each other! Immediately behind the Han army, the Wuhuan army shot out two thousand long arrows. This huge black cloud shot into the sky, breaking through a small black cloud and pouring down towards the city wall. Both armies were hit by a rain of arrows almost simultaneously! Soldiers fell on both sides. The brief contact caused a slight confusion, but then the archers on both sides fired another round under the command of their respective commanders.

Arrows flew and shouted in the air over Luronse, the drums of war shook the ground, and the horns of the bulls resounded throughout the battlefield.

The battle of attack and defense has completely begun.
