Although the Seleucid army did not move at all this night, Meng Tian still had a confident face, he did not believe that his action would be ignored by the other party, but believed that the enemy would definitely take action, and it would not be too late.

100,000 cavalry took turns guarding every hour, the others went to the city to rest, and even Meng Tian and Peng Yue were on duty in turn to deal with the war that might come at any time.

The only thing that is a little bitter is the dragon, their men and horses are all brought into the woods, although the scale is not small, but fortunately, the Huns are very thorough in the study of war horses, so the night was safe and stable, and was not discovered by the enemy scouts.

The attention of the enemy scouts was all in the city, a large wooded area that was never in their plan to search.

According to Meng Tian's instructions, Long Ji also let most of the cavalry rest in the forest, while he took a small part of the elite to reconnoiter on the periphery.

The sky had just completely brightened, and suddenly a few people who were sent out by Long He who pretended to be the people of the Peacock Dynasty came back very eagerly, and as soon as they met, they reported a message to Long Ji.

"General, the cavalry in those cities has been dispatched, just as you guessed before, they came out of their respective cities, and then joined forces, about eighty or ninety thousand people, and went straight to the direction of the city occupied by our army yesterday!"

"Good! This General Meng Tian really has some ability, wait until you go to investigate, this matter is urgent, wait until they get to the city and fight with the Great Qin cavalry, and then come back and tell me! ”

Although he didn't believe in Meng Tian's strategy before, now that the enemy really followed his ideas, Long Ji naturally needed to follow Meng Tian's plan step by step.

Long Ji began to gear up here, and Meng Tian and Peng Yue naturally found out that the enemy had gathered a large group of men and horses, and they came to the small city they guarded with great vigour.

"General, the enemy is really coming!"

"Hmph, the enemy generals chose to attack during the day, and they thought about some problems, and they were not mediocre people, but no matter when they came here, it was up to me to decide how long this battle would last. It's time for them to see how powerful my Great Qin's transformed Qin crossbow really is! ”

At this time, among the two arrow towers outside the city, rows of Qin crossbows have already been prepared, after this night's transformation, the place where archers originally stood on the arrow tower was erected into a two-story space under the instruction of Meng Tian, and a row of Qin crossbows was placed on each floor, and behind the Qin crossbow were squatting crossbowmen.

In this way, the number of Qin crossbows placed in each arrow tower is quite considerable, plus the scale of this city is very small, the advantage of the small city gate is that the distance between the two arrow towers is not very far, under such a distance, the strong Qin crossbow can play a very large role, in conjunction with the arrow holes in the city wall, the two echoes, the enemy wants to end these two arrow towers are very difficult.

Moreover, such a transformation is difficult to detect as an attacking party, and they can only know this after experiencing it themselves.

On this side, the four generals hurried under the city with almost all of their men, and the situation was not much different from what they had imagined.

"General, these cavalry of different races are indeed all cowering in that small city, and they have no intention of confronting our army head-on."

After scouting around, the Seleucid scouts found that the gates were closed, and there were almost no people outside the city, except for the darkness inside the towering arrow tower.

"If you don't confront our army head-on, but you can't help them, they are also cavalry, and they will definitely not be able to use it in the city, if our army breaks through this small city gate, they will have to go out of the city without going out!"

After saying this, the general waved his hand, obviously an offensive gesture, the Seleucid army has experienced many major battles, they have a very good tradition, that is, before the departure of the commander will first set an offensive routine, and when in front of the enemy, if there is nothing wrong, they will attack according to their previous routine, which undoubtedly saves a lot of time.

"What they can rely on is the two arrow towers and the archers hidden in the city wall, so they can take down the two arrow towers as soon as possible, and then quickly go to the city gate to break down!"

Of course, the generals of the Seleucid Dynasty knew what kind of structure the cities of the Mauryan Empire were, and of course they knew that it was the two arrow towers that should be attacked first.

Obviously, there were arrangements for the attack on the Arrow Tower, and the two teams of hundreds of people went directly to the Arrow Tower, while the others moved forward slowly, obviously waiting for their companions to kill the two Arrow Towers before they could continue to move forward.

In the arrow tower, a small group of men and horses were waiting in front of Qin's crossbow, staring at the enemy who was rushing towards them.

"The enemy is already in range!"

At this time, the sergeant who was staring at the enemy was already eager to inform the lieutenant general behind him of the enemy's whereabouts, because without their orders, they would definitely not be able to fire the Qin crossbow.

"Wait! General Meng Tian said, we must ensure that every arrow kills at least one enemy before firing, we have only a few dozen people in this arrow tower, if you want to deal a blow to the team of these hundreds of people, every arrow must not miss, don't worry about them rushing to the bottom of the arrow tower, the brothers in the city wall will help us to kill the enemy who rushed to the bottom of the arrow tower! ”

Although his face was already covered with beads of sweat, the two lieutenants in this arrow tower all continued to wait according to Meng Tian's previous instructions.

Although it was only a minute or two, in the hearts of the soldiers in these arrow towers, it seemed like a century.

"The enemy is in the best position, fire quickly! According to the previous agreement, it will be launched in two waves, and the other wave will be launched when one wave is loaded! ”

With the orders of the two lieutenants almost at the same time, in the rows of gaps that were distributed up and down the arrow tower, arrows like flying locusts rushed towards the enemy.

The cavalry of the Seleucid Dynasty was most confident in nothing else, it was the heavy armor made of dark iron on their bodies, although there was still a big gap between them and the heavy cavalry in the traditional sense, but ordinary arrows were really difficult to cause them any serious damage.

So at the beginning, when the arrows were released on the arrow tower, they really didn't care, but wanted to accelerate the impact to the bottom of the arrow tower.

But when dozens of arrows rolled in from the sky, they finally realized that these arrows were different from ordinary arrows.

"Poof!"

The sound of a sharp arrow piercing the armor was followed by a half-scream, and a Seleuc horseman, who was sitting on a war horse and preparing to gallop, was shot off his mount by the arrow.

There were dozens of people who had the same experience, and the shock to their companions was enormous, the arrow was three or four times the size of an ordinary arrow, and they didn't know what kind of archer could pull such a bow and shoot such an arrow, and fear rolled in the two teams close to the arrow tower for a while.

But they also knew that if they could reach the bottom of the tower as quickly as possible, the archers would have nothing to do with them, but would only become lambs trapped in the tower to be slaughtered.

"Are the enemy archers really so powerful?"

The Seleucid generals who were waiting for their men and horses to take out the two arrow towers in the distance did not think that this was a difficult matter, but when they found that a wave of bows and arrows had shot down a small piece of their own cavalry, they suddenly thought of what the person who had fled back had said to him, and knew that this was not an excuse for their own defeat, but that the enemy's bow and crossbow were indeed quite powerful.

But even so, he didn't take it seriously, because the result of such a thing was nothing more than that the two teams of men and horses he sent out were more damaged when they arrived at the bottom of the arrow tower, and when they reached the bottom of the arrow tower, they would directly destroy the arrow tower and it would be over, and the enemy troops in it would be killed by their own soldiers even if they did not fall down and die.

Everything was indeed developing as he expected, and after a rush to kill, the two teams of men and horses were baptized by the continuous rain of arrows, and when they arrived at the bottom of the arrow tower, there were only one hundred and ten people left.

But even so, they thought that this was enough, and when these people went to the bottom of the arrow tower, they found that the people on the arrow tower were really helpless against themselves, so they wanted to take out the other weapons they carried with them, and prepared to destroy the arrow tower.

But it was still at this moment, and suddenly a lot of arrows shot out of the arrow holes in the city wall, and after a round of harvesting, the two teams of Seleuc men were not very optimistic.

"What? How could their arrows reach such a range? ”

This matter is very strange in the eyes of the general, originally according to the ancient design of the city of the Peacock Dynasty, the arrow tower and the arrow hole can not echo each other at all, but this city is a little smaller, and there is no moat outside the city, which leads to the arrow tower is very close to the city wall, but in their opinion, it is not close to the point where the archer can shoot an arrow, but in front of their own eyes, all this has really happened.

If you use four words to describe the situation encountered by the Seleuk cavalry at this time, it is estimated that it is only unfavorable to go out of the division, and I didn't think that I could destroy the two arrow towers in any trouble, but now it has been delayed for so long without any effect, I have to say that the Seleucian generals are very angry.

"General, my Great Qin's Qin crossbow is really a weapon of the country!" Seeing Qin Xuan's amazing performance, Peng Yue was still quite happy.

"I also want to thank you for this matter and Zhang Kai! If it hadn't been opened, the previous Qin crossbow would not have reached such a range, and the enemy's generals would seem to be about to make the next move, pass the order, and be ready to go out of the city at any time, and never leave the soldiers on the arrow tower there! ”

What will happen next, in fact, Meng Tian already has points in his heart, he knows that it is impossible not to fight a tough battle in the face of such an enemy, and he must be positive when it is time to be frontal.

Although the frontal rigidity between the cavalry and the cavalry will cause relatively large casualties, the benefits are also obvious in Meng Tian's view, that is, it can let the other party really see his strength, compared to the sneak attack of Peng Yue and Long Ji, if you can achieve such a result on the frontal battlefield, the next time the enemy meets you on the frontal battlefield, I am afraid that it is certain.

"Whew! Just a bow and crossbow, what is so terrible, you take 20,000 people under your command to attack the city together, just go to the direction of the city gate at full speed, and when you reach the bottom of the arrow tower, you will naturally take it down! ”

A few hundred people can't do it, then 20,000 people will definitely do, this Seleucian general is obviously not bad, no matter how powerful your archers are in Daqin, you can't do it if there are more people I go, this is obviously a formal combat method of punching the master to death.

"Well...... This Seleuc general is still a little capable, and he didn't even rush to my city like a swarm, but left some leeway for himself. Meng Tian looked at the Seleuc general's solution from a distance at the top of the city, nodded slightly and said.

"Then I'm not going to set out to attack 20,000 horses?"

"Naturally, they are right, but only if we have only fifty or sixty thousand horses in this city, and they don't know that we have a hundred thousand horses in this city, let alone that there are thirty thousand cavalry in ambush in the woods not far away, and these two points alone are enough to make them pay a heavy price. The order was given, and when the enemy attacked under the arrow tower, our army went out of the city according to the previous plan! ”

This is all the battle plan that Meng Tian had arranged before, and at this time, the cavalry of Daqin were all within the three city gates, and they held their weapons tightly, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.

A Seleucid general, with 20,000 men and horses under his command, headed straight for the city gate, and of course, before reaching the city gate, their first task was to destroy the two annoying arrow towers.

But just as they were running towards the arrow tower, they only heard the sound of 'squeak', and the city gate opened in response, and the black pressure inside was full of Great Qin cavalry wearing black armor, and they were holding black long weapons in their hands, full of murderous aura.
