Chapter 391: Attack Blocked

Knock Knock...... Boom......

The deafening cowhide drums are beating,. Ziyou Pavilion is located three hundred meters outside the east city gate, and 1,200 vanguard troops have been assembled, and each warrior is a hardcore follower of Guli Leng, the king of Baishan.

Gu Lilen wore armor and rode on a horse, holding a scimitar to mobilize before the battle: "Sons, tonight is your moment to create glory, I will witness the warriors of the Baishan clan rushing into the border city. There is the most gold, the most silk, the most tea and the most beautiful women in the steppe, whoever rushes to the front will get more, and the last person to enter the city can only follow the others and eat dust, are you willing to hold gold and silver in one hand and a woman in the other, or are you willing to eat dust?"

"Fight, fight, fight!" all the soldiers shouted with their scimitars raised.

At the head of the border city, Sukemu and the three lords arrived, as well as his son Kerim.

No one saw it, Krimu's expression was slightly strange, and he felt that Gullen chose to attack at night, he must have captured Martina, otherwise how could he be so arrogant.

Attacking the city at night is obviously more strenuous than during the day.

"You don't have to worry, the black light is blinding, after the enemy enters the entry range, our Gong archers can determine the enemy's position according to the sound of horses' hooves and release a rain of arrows. Su Kemu said calmly: "And they can't see the people on the city wall clearly at all, and they can't use arrows to fight back, and the situation is very favorable to our side." ”

One lord chimed in, "That's right, it is said that Gu Lilen is a very strategic man, how could he make the mistake of attacking the city at night, it seems that there is a big difference between rumors and reality." ”

"That's right, they won't even be able to rush under the walls, and they will all be shot to death!" the other lord was also confident.

At this moment, the creaking sound of the stone thrower sounded.

The four great lords laughed at the same time, firing stone projectiles in the pitch black, how many of them could hit the city wall? Even if they crossed the city wall and smashed into the city, it was nothing more than the result of the collapse of the house and the death of a few people.

But the next second, they couldn't laugh, because the enemy's catapult was loaded not with stone bullets, but with incendiary bombs.

Su Kemu exclaimed: "The Baishan people actually have incendiary bombs, who did they learn from? Order all the soldiers to be ready to meet the enemy, and the reserve team will stay under the city and come up at any time to plug the gap." ”

Boom...... Call......

As the trebuchet makes an arm-like motion, the fireball is thrown high into the air, creating a graceful arc in the air.

Boom......

The fireball fell more than ten meters away from the city wall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is really difficult to use the stone throwing machine at night.

Gu Lilen in the enemy formation smiled: "If you think that the fireball is aimed at the city, but you are very wrong, this king is reluctant to throw it into the city, a city that is burning, what can I grab when I go in?"

Whew......

With the landing point of the first fireball as the guiding target, four other stone throwers were fired one after another.

The nearest fireball landed at the foot of the city walls, and it was made of arm-thick vines connected to each other, stuffed with flammable materials such as wool, twigs, and butter, and could burn for a long time, even with water for a while and a half.

Krimu laughed: "The accuracy of the Baishan people is really bad, and not a single fireball has shot into the city. ”

Su Kemu glanced down, and said with a worried face: "I don't think they are accurate, but deliberate." ”

"What do you mean?" the son asked, puzzled.

Su Kemu smiled bitterly and said, "These fireballs are used to illuminate the next stone bullet attack, and after smashing the city wall, they can also illuminate the way for the cavalry rushing wildly." ”

"What?" the faces of the three lords changed at the same time, and one of them suggested: "Why don't we take the initiative to attack, the four thousand elite soldiers in the city are not vegetarians, why can we just sit and wait for the enemy to fight." ”

Su Kemu shook his head: "It's night, we don't know the situation outside at all, it's easy to suffer a loss if you attack rashly, maybe the Baishan people have already set a trap outside the city, just wait for us to take the bait, and we must not joke with the lives of the soldiers." ”

Sure enough, after more than a dozen fireballs, the area of 100 meters on the east side of the east gate was illuminated by firelight, and the stone thrower began to replace it with stone bullets.

On the high ground of Hewan, Xiao Chen sighed and said to Medina beside him: "Gu Lilen is a military talent, and a little trick can reverse the disadvantage of the attack at night, I estimate that the border city is difficult to hold." ”

"Yes, isn't that a danger to my grandfather and uncle? The princess said worriedly.

"Have you forgotten that there is still mine?" he said with a smile.

"Do you have a way?" Medina grabbed his hand and asked, "What's the solution, tell me quickly." ”

The little marquis shrugged: "Actually, I really want to be grabbed by your hands like this, and then believe in telling you my strategy." However, by the time I finish speaking, it is estimated that the border city has been destroyed. ”

"Huh?" Medina quickly let go of her hand and said with a flushed face, "Then what are you waiting for, go and stop Gullen." ”

"Order!" The little marquis crossed over, sat directly on the back of the horse below, and rushed towards the Baishan army.

In the previous round of stone bullets, three of them hit the city, smashing more than a dozen houses, killing seven or eight people, and the other two fell on the open space outside the city.

Su Kemu breathed a sigh of relief, even with the guidance of the firelight, the enemy's stone thrower was still discounted on the quasi-head, immortal heaven bless, don't smash it on the city wall.

The second round of stone bullets was also relatively poor, only one of them fell five or six meters away from the city wall, rolled forward and smashed against the wall, and the soldiers on it only felt a slight shaking under their feet, and there was no sign of collapse.

Gu Lilen shouted towards the stone throwing machine position: "You aim at this king, the sons and daughters are ready to charge, you must immediately smash a big hole for this king." ”

Suddenly, a rider came and rushed towards the stone throwing machine at a high speed.

"Who, password!" asked the brute in charge of defending the position.

He was answered by a spear, and before he could react, he was stabbed from his horse.

Crash......

Countless black sticky objects fell from the sky, drenching the people who operated the stone throwers, and everyone raised their heads with strange faces, what is it, it is obviously not rain.

Someone reached out and wiped it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "It's not good, it's fire oil!"

With a wave of the spear in his hand, Xiao Hou Ye knocked over the brazier on the shelf next to him, and at the same time as the sparks splashed down, the fire oil all over the ground began to burst into flames, and at the same time, the people and the stone thrower ignited together.

The screams were everywhere, and many people began to roll on the ground, but they never thought that the adhesion of the oil was so strong that they couldn't shake it off, let alone extinguish it.

Gu Lilen watched the stone thrower ignite a raging fire, and shouted hysterically: "Break the intruder into ten thousand pieces, and everyone will go together." ”

The little marquis turned around and ran, sprinkling a lot of fire oil in the process of running, and the pursuers soon fell into the fire, and the wails and the sorrowful screams of the war horses came and went.
