Chapter 965: Alone in Decline
"This ...... Chen Shouyi, he really came prepared! ”
On the city wall, Murong Hao stood at the head of a city, looking at the various scenes below, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and his hands were clenched, because he was too hard, not only trembling, but also showing the green tendons on his hands.
Beside him, several personal soldiers were bitterly persuading: "Young marshal, this city is not safe, let's retreat a few steps, in case there is a good ......."
"At such a critical juncture, someone has to guard here, otherwise the clansmen and soldiers below will have the courage to hold on when they see that we have all withdrawn, you must know ......"
Just as Murong Hao was speaking, a section of the city wall not far from a few people, in two consecutive shells, many cracks appeared, and then its own rammed earth peeled off on its own, and then collapsed.
Whoa!
The fall of the huge mud immediately stirred up layers of smoke and dust, and even brought bursts of turbulent air currents, blowing on the faces of Murong Hao and the others, and even Murong Hao couldn't maintain the surface calm.
This kind of originally majestic and solid city wall collapsed in the face of a huge force that was difficult for manpower to resist, and the shock to people's hearts was unimaginable, and it was inevitable to trigger the instinctive fear in people's hearts.
This is not something that can be reversed and changed by willpower alone.
Murong Hao clearly saw that not far away, a few archers who were originally releasing arrows, when the city wall collapsed, two of them were affected, fell down, and were buried in an instant, and the rest of the people immediately scattered as birds and beasts, completely losing their courage.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the battlefield, Murong Hao's eyes swept away, and when he saw that many soldiers were retreating and fleeing in the aisle of the city wall, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness, and whispered: "Could it be that this is the warrior of my clan?" ”
He Jing also saw this scene, and he couldn't help but say: "The sharp weapons brought by the Chen's soldiers and horses can be said to be the nemesis of our rammed earth city wall, no, even if it is the stone wall of the Central Plains, I'm afraid it can't withstand a few thunder bombardments, and the most fatal thing is that the original defense of the city has to wait for local soldiers to climb the city wall, so that whether it is shot out with arrows, or smashed down with heavy objects, or even waiting for people to climb up, short handover, this can be dealt with, and it can also be encouraged, so that soldiers can muster up courage, but the current situation is different, The Chen soldiers and horses set up sharp weapons, and they didn't send troops over at all, even if they attacked with thunder, our soldiers on our side couldn't even touch the corners of the opponent's clothes, they could only rely on the bows and arrows in their hands, and they couldn't hurt a few people, but they were seriously injured, so they had to think about it, and Chen's attack method, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, is really with the magic of the demon magic and fairy magic......
Yes, what He Jing said really tells the essence of the current situation.
What really bothered the people in the city was the unbelievable method of attacking, and no matter how they resisted, they were actually of limited use, and they didn't know how to deal with the current situation!
Even the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of single-tip artillery, in the face of the blow of the Pingxing artillery, it is difficult to adapt, not to mention them, even if the time goes back more than a thousand years, in the face of the attack of hot weapons, what can be done in defense is still very limited, at most can only rely on mutual damage, competition and consumption, in terms of firepower and killing, to achieve the victory of local firefights.
But at this time, the force of the Murong Department has only recently transitioned from slavery to a certain degree of centralization, and there are still many habits of tribal alliances inside, and it is very difficult to even unify orders.
So, after another loud bang sounded, even Murong Hao's legs trembled slightly, and he said: "Father Khan's side was attacked, and I don't know how, I should go to visit for my children, this Chen family soldiers and horses ......."
He is going to retreat, but he needs a reason, and at the same time, in order to show his ability, he also has to give a battlefield instruction before leaving, otherwise it will be too much to say, the question is what kind of instructions he wants to leave?
Hold one's ground?
Not to mention that everyone is doing this at the moment, the bigger problem is that the distance between the company and the besieging enemy at the moment, so that their hold will become standing still and waiting for death!
Out of the city to besiege?
This is even more unreasonable, because the soldiers and horses besieging the Chen clan are still below, and they are still forming an encirclement trend, but these soldiers and horses are already in disarray, not only can they not continue to advance, but they are also defeated and trampled on each other under the three-stage attack of the firecracker.
Even if the elite of the Murong Department who are on standby in Thorn City are released to join the siege, it may not be able to improve, after all, during this siege, not the more people the better, many times, it is more important to maintain the position in the army, otherwise it will be difficult to even command and transfer, how can you destroy the enemy?
After changing his mind, Murong Hao sighed, and still ordered the soldiers who stayed behind not to leave without permission, and resisted the enemy's attack, so he left, but left behind many wryly smiling generals.
Resist the offensive? How to top? Take the top of your head?
As soon as the thought fell, a piece of rubble splashed over, directly hitting the forehead of one of the generals, and immediately the blood exploded, and the person had fallen.
The sound of falling to the ground spread far away, and Murong Hao, who hadn't left far away, looked back, and suddenly his face stiffened, and his steps sped up a little, and even had a bit of a taste of escape.
Under the escort of his own soldiers, Murong Hao and He Jing came to a mansion in the city.
This place is actually not far from the city wall, separated by two streets, and the outside of the house is surrounded by layers of soldiers, and the garrison is tight, not to mention going in, even the people who pass by will be caught and interrogated.
Even Murong Hao, a well-known young handsome man in the city, was also blocked, and only after the report was made that he was able to enter, but it made Murong Hao's face a little more gloomy.
And when I walked into the hospital, I soon felt the smell of herbs wafting over.
Smelling this smell, Murong Hao's face changed, revealing a worried look, and he walked into the house quickly, and immediately saw Murong Shan Yu Murong Diao, who was surrounded by the crowd.
It's just that this man who used to be fierce in the past is lying on the bed at the moment, his body is tightly wrapped, and his face is even darker, revealing a pale meaning.
Murong Diao's face was full of exhaustion, but he was self-reliant, on the one hand, there were witch doctors and Chinese doctors to consult and treat him, and on the other hand, there were subordinates who reported the situation to him, but the more he listened to the report, the paler Murong Diao's face became, and when he saw Murong Hao, he was even more stunned for a moment, and then let Murong Hao come to him.
"Even you're here, so can't the city wall really be defended?"
Murong Hao hesitated for a moment before replying: "It's not that it can't be defended, it's just that the enemy's methods are weird, and there is no way to deal with it for a while. ”
When Murong Diao heard this, his face flushed, and he was obviously angry, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Then the Chen clan is attacking and attacking my Murong Thorn City, and thousands of men and horses will dare to show off their might, and now you actually tell a certain family that it is difficult to face it head-on?" Outrageous! It just doesn't make sense! ”
This anger obviously touched the injury and spirit, Lao Dan Yu fell into the voice, rolled his eyes, and passed out directly.
"Father Khan!"
"Shan Yu!"
"Father!"
A series of exclamations rang out, and the room suddenly became a mess!
