Chapter 63: The Siege (Part II)

The sun has begun to set in the west, and the temperature has dropped considerably, not as hot as at noon. The Saigo army walked out of the barracks in turn, preparing to launch an attack in the afternoon.

Fan Yong, who was standing on the nest car, ordered:

"Lord's order, continue the siege! Drumming! ”

"Knock knock!" The drums beat again.

"Bed crossbow focused shooting! Target the middle of the fox cottage wall! Fan Yong shouted.

As in the morning, it was the bed crossbow troops that attacked first. Due to the high power of the bed crossbow, the accuracy was not enough. When the bed crossbow attacked, the rest of the siege troops were generally on standby.

"Goal! The middle section of the fox cottage wall! Triple shot! The Bed Crossbow Captain yelled.

The bed crossbow can not only attack people, but also damage the walled walls.

"Whoosh!" Eight giant arrows flew directly towards the fox cottage. Compared with those with smaller targets, the probability of the bed crossbow hitting the wall is still quite large, and all eight giant arrows in the first round were shot.

"Shoot again!" The Bed Crossbow Captain roared! The eight giant arrows of the second round also flew towards the wall.

"Last round, shoot!" The captain of the bed crossbow shouted again, and the last eight giant arrows were also shot at the wall.

After the last wave of giant arrows fired, the bed crossbow team also completed their mission. The crossbow string of the bed crossbow is very valuable, it has been shot eight rounds today, and if you force it a few more rounds, the crossbow string will most likely be reimbursed. It's not worth it for the sake of a mere fox mountain thief. Now the bed crossbow captain, they have to remove the crossbow string and maintain it.

After the attack of the bed crossbow troops, plus the giant arrows fired by the bed crossbow in the morning, more than 40 giant arrows have been inserted in the wall of the fox cottage. In particular, nearly 20 sticks have been inserted in the small area in the middle section. Some of the arrows went straight into the walls.

"The well cart is forward, and the longbow team is seventy paces on standby." After the three waves of giant arrows from the bed crossbow were fired, Fan Yong ordered. Fan Yong didn't use the Longbow team in the morning, and now the Longbow team is still in its heyday.

Since the speed of the well car is slower than that of the rushing convoy, it is necessary to let the well chariot reach the effective range of the short archers first, and effectively suppress the fox mountain thieves on the wall, so that the rushing convoy can be put into attack.

Facing the all-round suppression of the Saigo short archers on the well car. The Fox Mountain thieves learned to be obedient this time. And there was no fight back. Instead, he stood still with a large plank on top of it. However, the effect is still good, at least the casualties have been reduced a lot.

"Rush the convoy to attack, target the middle of the fox wall!" After seeing that the short archers formed an effective suppression, Fan Yong decisively pressed the rushing team.

In addition to being able to break through the walled gate, the rushing car also has a good damage to the wooden walled wall of Fox Mountain, and the target of the rushing team this time is obviously the section that has been filled with giant arrows.

As Xixiang's convoy slowly approached, Suning, who commanded the Hushan bandits on the wall, seemed to have discovered Xixiang's intentions.

Suning raised his shield with his right hand to block his head and roared: "If the Xixiang thieves want to destroy the wall, they will all come to Lao Tzu." Archer shooting! Don't let them come close. Bring the hot water to Lao Tzu. Hurry up, hurry up! ”

After hearing Suning's roar, the leaders who were supervising the battle on the walled wall also realized the danger of the situation. Once the Xixiang army hits a section of the wall, they can't stop it with their strength. The leaders and their cronies began to urge the Fox Mountain Bandits to fight back.

"The brethren lifted up the planks to guard against arrows, and the archers did not take care of the debris on the carts. Staring at the rushing convoy and firing arrows at Lao Tzu. Suning commanded with arrows.

The threat of rushing is just too great. Under the coercion of the leaders or threats or inducements. Braving the rain of arrows from the well-mounted carts, the Fox Mountain archers began to shoot arrows at the rushing convoy.

Although it has the heavy protection of the double armor plus tower shield. But the arrows shot by the Fox Mountain Bandit Archers were too dense. For a while, the rushing convoy was suppressed in place. Forced to form a tortoiseshell formation to defend itself. If Yu Yu is willing to pay a certain amount of casualties, the rushing convoy can still rush through the rain of arrows. But the purpose of this operation is not to break through the fox cottage in one go, and there is no need to pay unnecessary casualties.

See the rushing convoy that was suppressed. Fan Yong frowned slightly. Then he ordered: "Short archers switch to rockets!" The longbowmen advance twenty steps and shoot with heavy arrows! ”

"Attention to the left (right) team, heavy arrows, full bows, target the middle of the Fox Mountain Robbery Wall, three consecutive shots, put!" The two Longbow captains yelled.

"Whoosh!" The specially made long and heavy arrows quickly flew towards the fox mountain bandits in the middle of the wall.

A young fox mountain thief felt a little strange, because the sound of the arrows that flew through the air this time was too rapid. He was a little curious and wanted to look up, but he was quick enough to raise his shield. Through the gap in his shield, he saw an arrow that was longer than normal flying towards him. However, he was not worried at all, because he believed that the wooden shield in his hand would help him block the arrow. But unfortunately he underestimated the power of the longbow. The armor-piercing heavy arrows in the full bow state can be shot through even the iron armor. The long heavy arrow shot directly through the wooden shield, and took his life by the way. Three consecutive waves of armor-piercing heavy arrows directly emptied a small section of the fox mountain thieves on the wall. Moreover, the Fox Mountain Bandit Archers, who were the main targets, also suffered heavy losses.

Without the desperate shooting of the Fox Mountain Bandit Archers, the pressure on the convoy was greatly reduced. Yu Yu led everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly push the cart to the designated position.

"Suppress them! Don't let them hit the wall. Suning, who was hiding in the blind spot of Saigo's short archers, yelled.

"Great chief, the archers have already suffered heavy losses. There's no way to suppress it. Sheng Er, who was in charge of commanding the archers, shouted.

"Then pour water on Lao Tzu and throw stones! Don't let them hit the wall! Suning shouted loudly.

"No!" Sheng Erdao.

At the same time, the Saigo archers on the well car also completed the preparation of the rocket. However, their target this time was not the thatched hut inside the fox cottage, but the fox mountain thieves on the wall.

"Hurry up and smash them for Lao Tzu!" Yu Yu pointed to the wall that was obviously cracked and shouted.

"One, two, three, bump!" More than 40 strong men pushed the cart and slammed the hot water and stones falling from the sky against the wall. More than 20 huge arrows have been hit, and this section of the wall, which can be regarded as scarred, suddenly cracked.

"Good! Very good! Hit Lao Tzu again! Yu Yu said happily.

At this time, the Hushan thieves on the wall of the wall were attacked by the rockets of the Xixiang short archers on the well car, and they had no leisure time to charge the convoy.

"Bump!" With a bang, the car hit the wall again, and the wall cracked even more.

At the critical time, Suning stood up. He shouted, "Throw the oil bottle!" ”

Li Wu, who was on the side, directly threw out a few cans of fire oil. It smashed accurately on the rushing car, and the spilled fire oil splashed several heavily armed sword and shield soldiers around him.

"Get out of the way!" Yu Yu, who knew what was going to happen, yelled. But alas, it was too late. The torches of the Fox Mountain Thieves have been thrown down. Several heavily armed sword and shield soldiers with fire oil on their bodies nearby were immediately set on fire.

After discovering Yu Yu's danger, the archers on the cart desperately shot arrows at the wall, trying to suppress the fox mountain bandits, so as to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the convoy.

"Lie down and put out the fire with dirt!" Yu Yu said anxiously.

But apparently it didn't work! These ignited heavy sword and shield soldiers are already about to burn their eyebrows, how can they be in the mood to listen to Yu Yu's words!

Yu Yu had no choice, and one person kicked these heavy sword and shield soldiers who were on fire directly to the ground. The other heavily armed sword and shield soldiers around them immediately dug in the earth with their shields and threw them desperately. Some of them didn't have a shield and went up directly to extinguish the fire with their feet, and everyone finally saved the lives of these heavily armed sword and shield soldiers with all their strength.

However, because the arson facilities were not in place, half of the car was burned, and it was obvious that it could no longer be used.

Fan Yong, who was commanding the battle from the nest car in the distance, also saw this. In addition, the sun is about to set, and the new pawn is not good at night fighting. I had no choice but to withdraw my troops.

……

"Leader Li, how are the statistics? What about the casualties of the brothers? After the war, Suning sat on a big stone with some weakness and asked in a hoarse voice.

Compared with the elegant family before the war, Suning's black robe has been burned by half, and there is one less boot. The face is even whiter, black, how embarrassed, how embarrassed.

Li Wu said a little lowly: "At least more than sixty people died, and more than eighty people were injured of different sizes!" ”

"O One God! How could there be so many! It's only been one day! Xia Saburo exclaimed.

"The main thing is that at the beginning of the war, I was shot to death by the Xixiang thieves with a bed crossbow. During the fierce battle, although the method of the big leader was used, the door panel was too little prepared, and many brothers were killed and wounded by the Saigo archers on the well cart when they counterattacked the Saigo thieves. Then there was the archer, who held the great bow, and many of the brothers were crucified to the ground by that great arrow. Li Wu said sadly.

"But fortunately, the big leader had people block the gate with huge stones before the war. The Xixiang army did not break into the door, and we have already burned the rushing car of the Xixiang thieves. Until a new rush is made, the Saigo Bandits should not launch a new attack. Li Wu continued.

"This time it's thanks to the big leader, otherwise I might not be able to hold it back!" After Li Wu finished speaking, Yang Shi praised.

The rest of the leaders on the side also praised one after another.

"Thank you! You've won the prize! Suning said modestly.

"But I can't afford to take it lightly yet. Today, the power of the Xixiang thief's well chariot has already been seen by all the gentlemen! We have to find a way to destroy it. Otherwise, the threat to the brothers would be too great. Suning sighed and continued.

"What the Great Leader said is very true!" All the leaders agreed.

With the suppression of Saigo's archers on the well car, they simply could not and did not dare to defend with all their might.

"I wonder if the big leader has any good ideas?" Mei Monkey asked wistfully.

After a day's battle, Suning's prestige in the hearts of the leaders skyrocketed. Vaguely, the leaders regarded him as a dependent.

Look at the expectant eyes of the leaders. Suning stroked his somewhat messy beard, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "I remember that the ancestors once recorded a weapon specially used to deal with Jing Yan. But I don't know where I put it, so I'll go back and look for it now. ”

"Really? That's great! Great Chief, hurry back and find out now. That weapon is so important to us in Fox Mountain. Yang Shi said excitedly.

The rest of the leaders were also very happy and urged Suning one after another.

Suning was not pretentious, and said sincerely to the leaders: "Trouble the princes to urge the brothers to repair the fortifications for the time being. Rong went back to find out first. ”

After speaking, Suning and his attendants rushed to his mansion. It's just that I don't know when, Suning's face showed an intriguing arc.
