Chapter 123: The War Officially Begins

It wasn't until he saw the billowing smoke and dust carrying several Liu Zi flags standing on the other side that Guo Tong had to face up to the reality - Bai Muye, who had always been prejudiced by himself, once again made an unpredictable prophet and took the lead!

The distant mountains are vast, and the city is hunting with flags! The 5,000-strong army poured out of the nest and waved the army straight to the Nine Pavilion Gate!

The enemy army was well-trained, the footsteps were sonorous, the team was rumbling and approaching, and every five steps forward, the army of tigers and wolves with bright armor roared neatly to boost their morale, and the five thousand soldiers even stepped out of the formation of tens of thousands!

For a time, there was a rumor outside the city, and the shouts of killing on both sides were deafening. Liu Heimin's department was majestic, stopped by the moat of Zhaozhou, and just waited for an order to attack the city!

The Xia army on the city wall raised their crossbows and longbows one after another under their command, as long as the place dared to take a step closer, they would definitely be allowed to go and never return!

The sharp blades, the banners waving in the wind, the scattered smoke and dust, and the mighty and unyielding faces. It wasn't a big deal, but it still made everyone in the room feel excited.

One side is bound to win, the other side is fighting against the water, and both sides are full of manic anger waiting to be vented!

Bai Muye squinted at the enemy army under the city, his expression was solemn, and the soldiers around him were infected by him, and the tragic feelings in his heart suddenly appeared!

Suddenly, there seemed to be some commotion in the rear of the enemy army, and then a dozen ladders were carried to the river.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Liu Heimin's rear team was obviously taller than the front army, and if he looked closely, the hundreds of people in front were indeed Han soldiers, which should be the remnants of the Xia army assembled by Liu Heimin.

Bai Muye's heart suddenly moved, and then he couldn't stop trembling, Liu Heimin's actions made his teeth cold!

He saw that the Turkic soldiers in the rear were all armed with scimitars, clearly driving the Han people in the front team, forcing them to take the lead and work hard for themselves!

And Liu Heimin just looked at those sad-looking subordinates with his chest on the side, talking and laughing with the Turkic leader next to him on horseback, looking extremely harmonious, and he didn't feel sorry for these soldiers who were about to die.

The Xia army in the city also seemed to have noticed all this, they looked at each other, their eyes began to wander, and a few of them had even slowly lowered their crossbow arrows - it was no longer a group of black-clothed people who could not see their faces clearly, those were all brothers who had lived and died together in the past!

Bai Muye secretly screamed that it was not good, and the anger in his chest was almost gushing out, but he knew that what he needed most at this time was to be calm!

It's a pity that he was not given any chance to stabilize the morale of the army, and the drums and trumpets under the city were loud, and Liu Heimin ordered a general attack!

Bai Muye clasped the wall with both hands, and roared with all his strength: "The officers and men of our army obey the order!" There are no more comrades in the city, they are all Yamas who have come to take your lives—no mercy! Violators behead—violators behead—"

Qiu Ning and Sanfeng and the others were stunned at first, and then immediately ran around the city, roaring loudly, and seeing that there were those who retreated and disturbed the morale of the army, they directly grabbed the weapons and dragged them to the city!

After a few "violators", Bai Muye's throat seemed to have been screamed, and the fire burned and hurt. It can be seen that the soldiers around him have re-strengthened their eyes and clenched the hilt of their swords, and then they finally put their minds at ease.

He cleared his throat, coughed lightly a few times, and thought to himself: It's a pity that Su Dingfang, the loud voice, is not here!

Hey?

The local gang is so rude!

He fixed his eyes on the enemy under the city, thinking that the confrontation between the two armies would be like that on TV, the main generals of both sides shouted, and only started to start after a theory, but he didn't expect Liu Heimin's soldiers to directly "snap" and set up more than a dozen ladders on the moat, and the other party's siege soldiers rushed to the other side of the river one by one!

said that it is a ladder, but it is just an extended ladder, and it seems that Liu Heimin has made it temporarily in the past few days.

"Launch—"

How could Bai Muye allow them to be presumptuous, he gave a decisive order, and then all the soldiers shouted at the same time: "Release the arrows—release the arrows—"

Suddenly, Bai Muye's order was amplified countless times by the soldiers, sounding earth-shattering in the noisy and chaotic battlefield, and clearly reaching everyone's ear drums.

Under this command, the war officially began!

The new repeater has a very long range, and it is three arrows in one shot, and the three shots are side-by-side, and it is impossible to dodge at all! In an instant, the arrows in the repeater suddenly densely covered the moat like flying locusts!

The ensuing wails were chilling, and some of the fallen and tumbling enemies were trampled by their descendants, and some even fell into the moat directly on the ladder.

Some of the soldiers on the wall had burst into tears from the corners of their eyes, but they still mechanically loaded their crossbow arrows and shot them down the city.

Some of the soldiers who were armed with bows and arrows because of the lack of crossbows also had calm faces, and their hands that tightened the bowstring trembled slightly, but they still did not dare to leave their positions half an inch without permission, just waiting for the enemy to enter their range!

They saw one of the soldiers rushing to the drawbridge in the rain of arrows, cutting the rope on the drawbridge winch, and then being shot through by an arrow, screaming and throwing himself into the river!

With a loud bang, the suspension bridge fell to the ground, and the earth trembled, stirring up countless smoke and dust!

It was as if the entire battlefield was frozen for a moment, and when the smoke and dust cleared, everyone looked at the suspension bridge connecting the two shores, and then there was another overwhelming shout of killing!

Liu Heimin's army had no scruples, and the Turkic soldiers followed the Han soldiers and covered up along the drawbridge!

They also wanted to return the bow and arrow, but they found that the range of their bow could not reach the distance of the opponent's wall, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened!

Liu Heimin's siege army had 5,000 people, and there were only 500 people guarding Jiutingmen in Zhaozhou at the moment, of which only 200 had bows and crossbows in their hands, so no matter how hard the crossbowmen tried their best, they couldn't kill all the enemies who came to attack.

Gradually, the enemy pressed under the walls!

After a few rounds of bows and crossbows, the Han soldiers in the city who were too frightened to fight had been killed and wounded, and the remaining Turkic soldiers were still full of energy, and their scimitars were able to block arrows with ease. Immediately afterwards, two teams of people came up from behind their team, holding large cowhide shields, and rushed to the front of the battle line, covering the shields above their heads, impermeable!

The Turkic soldiers with bows and arrows began to draw their bows and arrows at the head of the wall under the cover of the cowhide shield, and some of the Turkic soldiers had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, erected ladders and prepared to climb the city!

The screams of their own soldiers were heard one after another, and some people even fell off the wall because of the arrow, and blood was splattered on the spot!

"Get out of the wall-" Bai Muye Tiger roared and rushed to the front of the formation, commanding Ruoding!

The faces of the soldiers in the city were a little frightened, but fortunately, when they saw that the main general Bai Muye was still calm, they no longer felt panicked.

After the enemy fought back in a round, Bai Muye shouted: "Shoot again-"

As soon as the military ordered, these crossbowmen once again hit the spirit probe and shot at the city, but because the opponent's shield defense was too tight, they only shot a few people!
