Chapter 289: The Battle of Wa City

"Stop! What for? Several guards waved their spears and stopped Li Chongyi and his party.

"Fuck it!" Yu Chi Baoqing thought that he had been discovered, so he reached out and touched his waist.

"Steady!" Li Chongyi held his hand and said in a low voice.

"Young owner, it's okay, what did they ask us for?" The Nanzhao people could understand some of their words, and those who had been prepared hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"We are merchants of the Tang Dynasty, we went to Tianzhu, we have no food, and we want to go into the city to trade a little, so we will give this to your brothers." Li Chongyi took out a small bag of refined salt, handed over a small bag of frosting sugar and said with a smile, and the Nanzhao guide next to him hurriedly translated.

When a guard wearing leather armor took it, opened it, stretched out his finger and dipped it a little, put it in his mouth and tasted it, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly tied it up and put it in his arms, and got out of the way with a smile, and the guards next to him pushed away with a slower movement.

For a bartered city, food is the most important currency, and salt is about the same status as gold, and as for frosted sugar, it is a luxury entirely, so the leader of the guard did not think of extorting more, because in his mind it was already a grand gift.

Li Chongyi and the others didn't expect it to be so easy to enter the city, they glanced at each other, and beckoned everyone to walk towards the city under the eager eyes of the guards, and the corners of their eyes had already found the figures of Qin Huaiyu and others.

Walking into the city, he didn't continue to move forward, but began to set up stalls near the city gate, vaguely approaching the route of the upper city wall, many people watched them curiously, and through the crowd of onlookers, some of them secretly dispersed, intentionally or unintentionally approaching the guards next to them.

Qin Huaiyu saw that Li Chongyi and the others in front of him had successfully entered the city, and couldn't help but let go of most of his heart, and accelerated his pace to approach the city gate.

When the guards saw another group of similar people, they didn't think much about it, thinking that they could make a lot of money today, so they pretended to take the guards to stop Qin Huaiyu and the others.

Qin Huaiyu deliberately took out a cart of cans, opened the box, took it out, and then gave food to these guards, and then one person gave a can.

The guards had eaten such sweet canned fruit that they almost got their tongues out of it.

Qin Huaiyu saw that they had attracted the attention of most of the people, and hurriedly beckoned the guards at the head of the city to come down and collect them.

Although the guards on the city wall couldn't understand what they were saying, they could understand the gestures, and they looked down with envy, but now they were greeted, and they didn't need to be taught, and they all ran down the city tower in a swarm, afraid that there would be no one if they were slow.

Qin Huaiyu turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he had already found the figure of the large army behind, and saw that the guards were staring at the front to distribute cans, and made a look at the people around him.

The hundreds of people who followed drew their weapons from the wagons, their burdens, their baskets, and their fifty crossbows.

"Enemy attack!" A guard accidentally discovered that Qin Huaiyu and the others actually had weapons in their hands, and let out a heart-rending scream in fright.

"Kill!" Qin Huaiyu roared, took two steps forward, and slashed down the guard at the front with one sword.

"Roar!" Hundreds of people let out a loud roar in unison, rushed with weapons, and before the guards could come to their senses, they had already cut down the first ten or twenty people.

For the roar, this is also the characteristic of Feng Daiwen's training, neat roaring, not only can improve morale, but also deter the enemy, play the effect of taking the lead, all the way to the march, in addition to learning the Tang dialect, this roar is also one of the exercises.

Li Chongyi, who had been paying attention to the city gate, was of course the first to notice the small movements of Qin Huaiyu and the others, and hurriedly made gestures, and everyone approached where their weapons were.

"Kill!" When Yu Chi Baoqing saw the action at the city gate, he impatiently pulled out the embroidered spring knife, kicked the people in front of him, and rushed towards the guards with a loud roar.

"Roar!" The warriors were ready, and when they saw the signal, they drew their weapons without hesitation, and rushed to the guards with a shout.

"Ahh The surrounding people were almost frightened to death by this sudden change, dropped the items in their hands, let out a miserable scream, and immediately fled with chickens and dogs.

Li Chongyi did not chase and kill the people, and when he saw Yu Chi Baoqing leading people to rush behind the guards at the city gate, he shouted loudly: "Kill!" I'll do it even more! Li Chongyi rushed to the city wall with some people.

Feng Daiwen led a large group of men and horses, and followed Qin Huaiyu after a while, and marched slowly on the Dian horse, all the while holding a telescope to observe the movement ahead.

"Hurry!" Seeing the move at the city gate, Feng Daiwen did not slow down, raised his hand and shouted, three thousand were selected, and the horses that could be ridden galloped towards the city gate with the warriors.

The rest of the soldiers followed closely and spread their feet and charged.

Although the Dian horse is a long-distance runner and has a short sprint ability, it is only a flash for this distance.

Qin Huaiyu and the others had just entered the city and emptied the city gate, and Feng Daiwen led the soldiers on horseback to arrive, and hurriedly got out of the way.

Feng Daihuo led the team to rush directly towards the center of the city according to the prior order, while Qin Huaiyu and the others scattered to both sides, looking for defensive soldiers.

Generally, the city is relatively empty near the city gate, which is convenient for the large group of people to gather and enter and exit; Second, it is also convenient to guard, so that people will not sneak up on the city wall from the city, and when they are attacked, they will not be easily set on fire by the enemy with rockets.

(In the TV series, as soon as you enter the city, it is a house, which is all in the film and television city in order to save space, think about the house behind the city wall, it is not easy to turn out, the catapult smashed a large number of houses, and the rocket can easily ignite the city...... )

Therefore, there will be a military camp stationed near the city gate, and the battle at the city gate has long been discovered by the military camp sentry and sounded the gongs and drums, but the military camp always needs the order of the commander, and it also takes time to assemble the troops.

After Feng Daihuo rushed over, the barracks on both sides opened their gates, and a large number of soldiers rushed out.

Feng Daiwen and the others naturally noticed it a long time ago, and they were also scattered on both sides, and they did not charge, with their shields in front, those with crossbows following behind, and the others carried weapons to guard them tightly, waiting for the large troops behind.

Just when Feng Daiwen sent out the signal to attack, the other city gates also sounded a huge horn sound, and approached the city gate, just released arrows from a distance, and did not attack the city, but also restrained the guards, and did not dare to support other places, after all, three thousand people outside the gate are not a lot, even if they are not the elite of the Tang Dynasty, but they will not lose to the city guards under the sophisticated weapons and equipment.

"Put!" As soon as the soldiers in the barracks rushed out, Feng Daiwen gave the order to release the crossbow arrows.

"Whoosh! Sou! Although there are only dozens of crossbows on each side, five arrows in a box are shot continuously, and the effect is the same as that of hundreds of people at the same time.

For the guards, who are mainly leather armor, the hand crossbow is also a mortal threat, and dozens of people were put down in an instant, which frightened the guards at once, and hurriedly looked for dodge.
