"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sound of hurried footsteps pulled Liu Xi's thoughts back, and the general guarding the city had big beads of sweat hanging on his beard, panting and saying words that Liu Xi couldn't understand.

Ma Xiu waved his hand with him, signaling him not to be impatient, and then looked back and said to Liu Xi, "Yusheng, General Yang Sheng said that a bunch of straw men were sent from the city, he didn't know what was going on, and when he heard that I had someone get it, so I came to ask." ”

A thousand straw men have already been tied.

The Wei River is really well managed.

Liu Xi sighed in his heart.

Looking back at the enemy camp again, the smoke had already dispersed, and at this moment I was afraid that I had already eaten breakfast, and at this rate, I was afraid that it would soon be time to attack the city.

"Distribute the straw men to each of the soldiers defending the city, and tell them to erect the straw men when the enemy attacks the city."

Hearing Liu Xi's words, Ma Xiu's mind only then understood, "Yusheng, are you going to use these straw men to collect the rebels' arrows?" ”

Liu Xi nodded without denying it, "Yes, I hope Dong Ge finds out later, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't make much difference." ”

Now that the arrows in Chongzhou City are decreasing day by day, even if they are rushed overnight, they can't match the speed of consumption in defending the city. That's why Liu Xi used this straw man to collect arrows.

It's just that Dong Ge is not an ordinary mediocre talent, so he will naturally see Liu Xi's intentions, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not use the rain of arrows to attack the city.

But that time, at least it also reduced the pressure of defending the city.

After all, the rain of arrows in the sky is like locusts, falling on the city, how can it not cause casualties?

In the puzzled eyes of the guards guarding the city, a thousand straw men were moved to the city, and Ma Xiu even gave an order to the soldiers that they must ensure the integrity of the straw men.

Fortunately, Liu Xi asked the general Yang Sheng to pass the word to the soldiers defending the city, so that they knew that the straw man was used to resist the rain of arrows when the rebels shot arrows, and pulled out the arrows and handed them to the archers defending the city.

This time the soldiers were a lot happier, after all, the rain of arrows in the sky was difficult to guard against, and a bunch of straw men could always block some arrow rain.

And you can also get arrows and shoot those rabbit cubs fiercely, which feels like sleeping with the other party's daughter-in-law, and pumping the other party's baby with a big mouth, which is naturally extremely happy in my heart.

After everything was arranged, not long after, the sound of war drums sounded in Liu Xi's ears.

The sound of neat footsteps seemed to crush the mountains and rivers, and the dense army poured out of the rebel camp like a black river.

Chongzhou City, everyone is nervous.

At this time, the morning sun that pierced the morning light just stretched out its head, and the sunlight sprinkled on the city, so that the soldiers who were holding weapons in their hands and were preoccupied with fighting couldn't help but subconsciously squint.

Dong Ge, who was dressed in armor, was still standing under the banner of the black-faced gold-edged silk that was hunting in the wind, his face was cold, and his eyes were staring at Chongzhou City with big copper bells.

Like a beast with its fangs spreading, staring at its prey.

"Oh no, the rain of arrows is coming!"

Seeing the soldiers beside Dong Ge waving the banner and playing the flag, Ma Xiu exclaimed in a low voice, and then turned his head and shouted, so that the soldiers at the head of the city were ready.

At this moment, the infantry of the city gave way and stood in front of the archers behind them, who bent their bows and strings, and in the blink of an eye, arrows rained down on the city.

Seeing this, Ma Xiu subconsciously rushed forward, wanting to block some of the arrows through cultivation.

Liu Xi grabbed Ma Xiu with an arrow step, "Today, don't act rashly!" ”

One sentence made Ma Xiu calm down immediately, there are many masters in the rebels outside the city, and now they haven't made a move, just scruples about the rules of heaven, if Ma Xiu takes the lead in using cultivation to defend against the enemy, it will give the other party a chance to make a move.

"Woohoo!"

When Ma Xiu regretted it, the rain of arrows that pierced the air pierced the eardrums had already fallen on the city, hitting the masonry and stone, and even sparks flashed when they rang.

After a few rounds of arrow raindown, countless straw men were immediately inserted into hedgehogs.

After the rain of arrows, the archers under the city retreated like a tide, and the infantry began to rush to Chongzhou City with swords in their hands and pushing siege engines.

At the top of the city, a group of men and horses quickly pulled the arrows from the straw men, and then trotted to the soldiers who had begun to spread their bowstrings.

The rebels were getting closer and closer, but the soldiers defending the city never heard the order to attack, and they all looked at the center of the city for some unknown reasons.

In the center of the city, Liu Xi's hands were clenched into fists, his eyes staring at the rebels under the city like a swarm of ants, and slowly estimating the distance in his heart.

Nowadays, arrows are limited, and the lethality of bows and arrows must be maximized, and if the distance is too far, many will naturally fall on the open ground.

Two hundred zhang, one hundred and fifty zhang......

Why hasn't it been ordered yet?

The soldiers at the head of the city were all in their throats, and they didn't care to see what kind of behavior Liu Xi and the others had, and the arm that drew the bow also forgot the soreness.

There are only eighty zhang left, and let them go forward, but they will be at the head of the city!

At this moment, not only the soldiers defending the city, but even the rebels who attacked the city were greatly surprised, and they were very frightened at first, but now they see that the city wall is in front of them, could it be that Chongzhou City has changed a timid commander?

I couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence, screamed, and rushed forward impassionedly.

"Archery!"

Suddenly, Liu Xi roared angrily, like a thunderbolt sounding at the head of the city, like a hungry beast rushing towards food, his eyes were full of murderous energy.

Although those soldiers who had been waiting for a long time couldn't understand what Liu Xi said, they understood the meaning from the murderous aura in this tone, and they were about to get rid of the arrows that had been gathered for a long time.

This time, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the arrows on the city were like rain, with the resentment and resentment of the soldiers defending the city, and they were sprinkled one after another, like a downpour, shooting towards the soldiers besieging the city below.

Because of the proximity, even the poorest archery soldiers were able to shoot arrows through the shields raised by the siege soldiers, and straight into the bodies of the rebels they hated.

The damage was great, and the wails were everywhere.

The besieging soldiers were confused for a while.

At this time, Yang Sheng, the general who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, received Liu Xi's instructions, and was busy according to the prior arrangement, ordering the city gate to be opened left and right, carrying a war horse, and holding two long knives in his hand.

Wow wow, Yang Sheng rushed out first. Taking advantage of the chaos of the rebels' formation, he raised a long knife in his hand, opened and closed widely, and in the blink of an eye, no one around him dared to step forward, like a killing god descending from the sky.

What a fierce general.

At the head of the city, Liu Xi secretly said in his heart.

Perhaps sensing that the siege was in chaos at the time of the siege, the sound of drums and trumpets from the rebel camp came from the rebel camp, and the besiegers whose scalps were numb immediately retreated quickly, for fear that they would be cut off by a long knife if they were a little too late.

"It's not advisable to chase the enemy, go back to the city quickly!"

Liu Xi said in a deep voice, and Ma Xiu, who heard his words, hurriedly blurted out and shouted, and the soldiers who killed the rising soldiers strangled the horse's hooves when they heard this, like a whirlwind, and entered Chenglai.

When Yang Sheng entered the city, because of the defeat of the rebels, the soldiers at the head of the city cheered continuously, seeing such a scene, Liu Xi's heart was a little less dull.

After all, the morale of the soldiers is also quite important, and the first stop this morning is considered a high victory, and the morale is high, which will be of great benefit to the defense of the city.

But as the commander in command, Liu Xi did not dare to slack off in his heart, after all, Tuoba Ao behind the rebels had already controlled the Shu Kingdom, and there were even many mysterious forces behind him.

If he wants to defeat such an unfathomable opponent with the power of Chongzhou City, Liu Xi doesn't dare to relax at all.

Half an hour later, Dong Ge ordered the siege again, this time shooting another round of arrows, but the number was significantly less than before, and it was obvious that he had sensed Liu Xi's plan.

Therefore, it only shoots a rain of arrows to suppress the head of the city, so that the besieging soldiers can reach the city smoothly.

Because of the experience just now, the soldiers defending the city were a little less impatient, stretched their bows and arrows, pricked up their ears, and waited for the order to shoot.

Looking at the shield bearers who came first under the city, as well as the shield bearers guarding the siege vehicles, Liu Xi frowned slightly.

Dong Ge is really a commander-in-chief, although it is a hostile camp, Liu Xi is extremely impressed by his quick adjustment of combat methods.

"Stone-throwing truck ready!"

After thinking about it, Liu Xi ordered the catapult to enter the battle.

At his command, the stones that had already been prepared were like birds with wings, and they swooped down in flocks to the besieging team.

Heavy stone smashing, even if there is a steel shield, will inevitably mess up.

snatched the bow of a soldier beside him, and Liu Xi pulled the string and released the arrow like a cloud.

With an air-piercing roar, the arrow pierced through the gap between the two shields and thrust into the throat of the general leading the siege.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Liu Xi's arrow was naturally seen by the soldiers at the head of the city, and as he shouted, all the soldiers immediately understood the meaning, and the good archery skills also learned from Liu Xi's appearance, shooting the rebels through the gap between the shields, and the archery almost concentrated the arrows into the rebels who were in the camp because of the stones.

Maybe it was Dong Ge who gave a strict order, or maybe it was with a large number of shield soldiers, so the rebels who attacked the city this time were extremely tenacious, even if the captain who led the army was shot by Liu Xi, they still rushed towards the city gate.

Yang Sheng, the partial general who had gone out of the city to kill the enemy before, opened his eyes angrily, his bloodshot tiger eyes were full of murderous aura, and the blood stains on his face and beard had not yet dried up, which looked shocking.

At this moment, the general was talking to Ma Xiu anxiously, and the latter looked at Liu Xi, and when he saw that Liu Xi did not speak, he shook his head gently.

Obviously, this general wants to take people out of the city again to kill.

Liu Xi naturally also saw the scene where the general was talking to Ma Xiu, but his current energy was all on the battlefield, because the endless stream of rebels surrounded dozens of bed crossbows and came towards Chongzhou City.
