"Little stone, it's already so late, what are you doing with the pestle, come and rest!"

On the tower of Wanchun Town, a middle-aged soldier in simple leather armor greeted a young soldier standing on the city wall under the battlement.

It's already midday, the sky is completely dark, and in the ancient society where there is no entertainment program, most of the people in the entire Wanchun Town have fallen into a deep sleep.

"There is no day to stop when you come to this world, you are not tired of it, anyway, whoever is in charge is the same, why do you bother so hard! Besides, the five counties on the opposite side are the territory of the Yangwu army, and it is said that there are more than 100,000 Yangwu troops there, if they really want to fight, with us and those ruffians outside the city, do you think they can stop it? It's better to save it, if the Yangwu army really calls, I will be the first to surrender."

After greeting him twice, seeing that the young soldier was still not moving, the middle-aged soldier couldn't help but curse and curse, and his tone was full of boredom with the war and the world.

This middle-aged soldier is a veteran in the army, and he has switched to countless forces in a year, and it has been more frequent in the past month, from the original Sun Kewang to the current Su Dingfang has changed 4 lords, and among these veterans, there is no sense of belonging and security at all for the Su Dingfang forces that have just been replaced.

Therefore, in front of his little friends who had trusted him several times for life and death, this middle-aged soldier did not have any worries when he spoke.

"I've got a bottle of wine here, come, little rock, let's have some drink to warm up!"

Seeing that the young soldier still couldn't come, the middle-aged veteran couldn't help but secretly take out a small jar of wine from under his leather armor, shook it at him with a smug face, and said temptingly.

For these soldiers who have been in the army all year round, being able to secretly take a sip of wine is the greatest enjoyment.

"Hey! I'm coming! ”

Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged veteran's words fell, the young soldier he called Little Stone lit up and couldn't help but walk towards him temptingly.

But with this turn, he lost the opportunity to see the world again forever, and a sharp arrow passed through his chest, taking away his young life.

Woo Woo Woo ~ At the same time, under Wanchun City, a torch suddenly lit up in the open space hundreds of meters away, and in the continuous sound of arrows, one by one sharp arrows were scattered towards the city wall in the cover of night.

"Uh~"

"Ahh

"Ahh

Under the volley of 3,000 crossbowmen, an overwhelming rain of arrows continued to rain down on the city walls, and hundreds of soldiers who were responsible for guarding the walls like small stones were killed by the rain of arrows.

The middle-aged veteran hiding under the battlement was lucky to escape, and when he heard the constant screams in his ears, he instantly thought that it was the Yangwu army attacking.

"Ahh

As soon as the first wave of arrow rain stopped, the middle-aged veteran quietly straightened up and looked down under the cover of the wall battlement, and was immediately frightened by the Yangwu army that had unknowingly appeared not far from the city of Wanchun Town.

I saw that the open space 300 meters below the city of Wanchun Town was already covered with soldiers of the Yangwu Army in black armor, which was just the range of the crossbowmen in the barbarian army.

At a glance, the middle-aged veteran clearly saw that the 3,000 crossbowmen in the front row were loading arrows, and the rear was a dense phalanx of black infantry.

The arrows in the hands of the 3,000 crossbowmen are rapidly being reloaded, and the next wave of arrows is coming.

At the same time as the crossbowmen in the front row exchanged arrows, in the infantry formation in the rear, more than 10 siege vehicles began to lean towards the city wall of Wanchun Town under the movement of the soldiers of the Yangwu Army.

The siege vehicle up to more than 10 meters high, like an ancient beast that haunts in the dark, exudes a cold killing intention, and dozens of Yangwu soldiers hidden behind the front baffle of the siege vehicle, one by one holding a knife in their right hand and a shield in their left hand, ready to attack.

Woo Woo Woo ~ "Ahh

"Mom!"

The long-range firepower of 3,000 crossbowmen covered the entire city wall around the south gate of Wanchun Town, and under the dense rain of arrows, all the defending soldiers who rose to the head fell under the sharp arrows.

The three battalions of Changfeng Battalion, Guoyi Army, and Wu'an Battalion are all the main combat overtures in the Yangwu Army, and the 3,000 crossbowmen who are drawn from these three battalions are all equipped with divine arm crossbows.

These divine arm crossbows are all the top-level ordnance that Sima Yu has opened since the peak of ancient weapons, the probability of firing is extremely low, the number is very small, and the main combat battalions are generally only 1,000 people.

Under the attack of the rain of arrows, the soldiers defending the city on the city wall had an intuition as if the end was coming, and they could not organize a trace of resistance.

For these soldiers, who only know that they are constantly being recruited, they have never fought a tough battle at all, how could they have experienced such a tragic scene.

"One, attack!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the crossbowmen completely suppressing the soldiers defending the city, Captain Long Meng of Guoyi Military Academy gave an order, and a thousand heavily armed shield-wielding infantry in front of the queue began to line up and follow the siege vehicle to the city wall of Wanchun Town.

"Kill!"

The hoplites of the 1,000 Guoyi Army slowly approached the city wall of Wanchun Town with more than 10 siege vehicles, and it was not until they were only 50 meters away from the city wall that they suddenly accelerated and began to attack the city wall.

"Stop shooting!"

Seeing his soldiers approaching the city wall, Li Mu immediately ordered the crossbowmen to stop shooting.

Under the attack of crossbow arrows just now, most of the soldiers defending the city who had the courage to resist on the city wall had fallen under the rain of arrows, and most of the remaining people were also frightened.

After a thousand hoplites rushed to the city wall, they quickly approached, raised the iron shield in their hands, and formed a steel shield array below, resisting the sporadic counterattacks from the city tower.

"Kill!"

The siege vehicle soldiers in the rear pushed the siege vehicle close to the city wall under the cover of the shield array, the front baffle was quickly put down and rested on the city tower, and the Yangwu soldiers hidden behind the baffle quickly raised their shields to kill the city wall.

"Attack!"

At the same time, Li Mu, who was in the rear, saw that the siege vehicle was smoothly approaching the city wall, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the 3,000 soldiers of the Wu'an Battalion who had been preparing for a long time behind him also carried the siege ladder and followed towards Wanchun Town.

Fierce fighting soon sounded on the city walls, and after the rain of arrows stopped, the defenders hiding under the city walls fought with the Yangwu army who killed the city walls.

Raise your shield! Swing the knife! Raise your shield! Swing the knife!

One by one, the saber and shield bearers formed a small phalanx of several people, repeating the movements of daily training indomitably, and the chaotic city defenders could not resist it at all under the continuous offensive, and Pu was killed and retreated as soon as he made contact.

Along the area cleared by the soldiers in front, a steady stream of Yangwu soldiers began to climb the city wall.

"The general trend is gone, run away!"

Under the city wall, the guard general of Wanchun Town, who led hundreds of defenders to prepare to support the south gate, looked at the army that had been completely defeated in just half an hour under the attack of the Yangwu army, and said in a low voice with a blank face, and turned around and fled in the direction of the north gate with his guards.

It was a completely disproportionate battle, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

On the evening of November 17, the second year of Taizheng, on the night after Sima Yu and Li Dingguo met, the 29,000 troops of the three battalions of Guoyi Army, Changfeng Battalion and Wu'an Battalion suddenly launched a surprise attack on Wanchun Town under the leadership of Li Mu, 3,000 newly recruited soldiers defending the city were defeated by the whole line in less than half an hour, only the remaining guards led dozens of guards to escape, and the others were either killed or captured.
