Luo Xin did not build fortifications outside the city, because his purpose was not to delay time, but to inflict maximum casualties on the steppe coalition in the shortest possible time, so that it would be better for the two sides to engage directly. So the steppe coalition army soon entered the land of a stone's throw away. Luo Xin then gave the order:

"Free Fire!"

The Ming soldiers at the head of the city began to shoot, and after the two confrontations with the grassland coalition during this time, the mental quality of the Ming soldiers has improved a lot, and they are no longer flustered in their hearts, especially when they see Luo Xin standing on the head of the city, with a calm face, which makes these soldiers more calm in their hearts.

"Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows fell from above the city, crackling on the shields raised by the grassland coalition army, most of the arrows were blocked by the shields, but a few arrows shot through the gaps in the shields, and screams came from under the walls.

Someone was injured, and the shield array, which was originally like an iron plate, revealed a large gap, and the soldiers above the city continuously released arrows, and one arrow after another swarmed towards the exposed grassland coalition army, causing greater casualties among the grassland coalition army.

However, the steppe coalition army did not panic, began to adjust the shield, and then continued to advance, but in this way, the speed of the advance decreased a lot, and there were constant casualties, and the adjustment kept increasing, and the speed became slower and slower, and the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

"Stepping on ......"

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Luo Xin opened his eyes to see that the grassland coalition army outside the Three Arrows Land had moved, pressing forward. Luo Xin immediately knew that the other party was preparing to suppress the Ming army above the city with arrows, so that the grassland coalition army could quickly approach the moat, and immediately shouted:

"Shieldman, be defensive."

One by one, the shield bearers immediately stepped forward with their shields and stood beside the archers, and there were also a number of shield bearers standing beside Luo Xin and other generals. Admiral Zhang looked at Luo Xin and said anxiously:

"My lord, please enter the corner tower."

Luo Xin hesitated, and knew in his heart that if he continued to stay here, he would make the soldiers feel uneasy. So he also retreated into the corner tower.

Not long after retreating into the corner tower, I heard a violent buzzing sound in my ears, and then I saw a cloud of arrows covering the sky and the sun, and for a while, the city sounded like the crackling sound of rain hitting the plantains, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers.

This time, it is impossible for the Ming soldiers to dodge as they did last time, they have to continue to shoot at the grassland coalition forces under the city under the cover of shield players, but in this way, the Ming soldiers will inevitably suffer casualties, and the casualties are not small. Seeing the Ming soldiers screaming and falling, Luo Xin's eyes were red, and Admiral Zhang, who followed him, said:

"Don't worry, my lord, there aren't many arrows in the grasslands, and usually each of them only has two pots of arrows, so it's impossible to suppress us like this."

Luo Xin nodded, his heart slightly relaxed. The grassland coalition army is the attacking side, it is impossible to carry a large number of arrows, they are different from the Ming army, the Ming army is the defender, and a large number of arrows are stored in the warehouse. Even if the Steppe Coalition wanted to make bows and arrows, they wouldn't be able to make them right away, so they could only maintain this time to cover the Steppe soldiers and bury the moat.

I have to say that the cavalry and archery skills of the grassland people are really powerful, as long as they are given enough arrows, they are fully capable of suppressing the Ming soldiers in the city all the time. At this time, the Ming soldiers were almost overwhelmed by the urgent and dense arrows, and could only occasionally shoot arrows to counterattack, and that's it, they were also injured by the opponent's arrows from time to time. Under the cover of such dense arrows, the steppe soldiers under the city suddenly increased their speed, and soon came to the moat, threw the sandbags they were carrying into the moat, and then withdrew, and then rushed towards the moat with sandbags on their shoulders.

As Admiral Zhang said, the arrows of the grassland coalition army are counted, and after a cup of tea has passed, the arrows that suppressed the Ming soldiers stopped, Luo Xin stretched out his head to look, and saw that most of the moat had been buried, and the grassland soldiers had one more round trip, and they would be able to fill the moat. Looking towards the city again, I saw a miserable scene above the city, countless Ming soldiers lying on the ground, wailing, and the morale of the Ming soldiers was obviously low again. Luo Xin strode towards the outside of the corner tower, and Admiral Zhang stepped forward and shouted while pulling Luo Xin:

"Your Excellency!"

"Let it go!"

Luo Xin waved his arm, but he had never broken off his martial arts practice, and his strength was not small, so he broke free of Admiral Zhang's hand and strode out, and Admiral Zhang and the others hurriedly followed. Luo Xin said as he walked:

"Carry the wounded down for treatment, and the second team will come up."

In fact, without Luo Xin's order, everyone saw Luo Xin striding out, and the panicked heart just now suddenly settled down, and all the work immediately became smooth, Luo Xin strode to the city, stretched out his hand and shouted:

"Bow here!"

Lu Daqing, who had been following Luo Xin, immediately handed the bow and arrow to Luo Xin, Luo Xin bent the bow and arrows, and shot out with a "whoosh", at this time the arrow suppression of the grassland had just stopped, and the grassland soldiers who filled the moat under the city wall had not had time to protect, Luo Xin shot through the head of a soldier with an arrow, and the next person let out a miserable scream, and Admiral Zhang on the side shouted hello, and the spirit of the soldiers on the city head was lifted, and they bent their bows and arrows.

"Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows fell, and a terrible scream sounded below, and this rain of arrows caused more than 1,000 casualties below. The steppe soldiers below panicked and hurriedly raised their shields. Luo Xin saw that the Ming soldiers had stabilized their emotions, so he did not shoot arrows again, he was the commander who commanded the war, not the soldiers who defended the city. He handed the bow and arrow to Lu Daqing beside him, and looked at the grassland coalition army opposite. At this time, the grassland coalition army had advanced to a stone's throw away, and Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Beware of cold arrows!"

Before his words fell, he saw a little cold light coming out of the **** of the grassland coalition army on the opposite side, towards Luo Xin **** on the head of the city. Immediately, several shield players stood in front of Luo Xin, and Luo Xin also took two steps backwards, and his body was short.

"When ......"

The arrow carried a tremendous amount of force, and it actually knocked the first shield off the flair, hitting one of the soldiers behind. The soldier screamed and fell in front of Luo Xin. Luo Xin stretched out his hand to hold the soldier and shouted at Admiral Zhang:

"Crossbow rider aim under the banner on the opposite side and shoot me."

"Honorable Order!"
