Chapter 32 The Flames of War Ignite New Wilds

"Lord, it's not far from Xinye City." Guo Jia looked up into the distance and stroked his beard.

Gao Ye nodded, it was indeed not easy to walk Xinye, and it took a lot of effort to encounter bandits on the way.

……………………

At the same time, on the other side, outside the castle of Shinno.

Bloody new wilderness, bloody new wilderness". More than 5,000 people held high banners, carried cloud ladders, and under the leadership of a general, they killed Xinye, and their momentum was like a monstrous wave.

The momentum of 5,000 people was not small, although it was still two miles away, but the rumbling footsteps were still discovered by the defenders on the city wall, and they hurriedly sounded the gong to warn: "There is an enemy attack, the whole army is on alert."

While the defenders were beating gongs and drums, five hundred strong defenders came rushing in, all with bows and arrows, aiming ahead and preparing for defense.

The Yellow Turban General not far away looked far away, saw that the city wall was full of archers, and stretched out his hand to order the army to pause: "There are archers in ambush on the city wall, I am afraid that before I get close to the city wall, I will be shot into a hedgehog, which will only increase casualties."

A strategist next to him, hanging the wine jug from his waist, said with a smile: "Defeat, only a general with dozens of light horsemen to call the battle, after a few rounds of battle, then flee back with a swindle, lead the snake out of the hole, and the army is here to ambush and wipe them out."

As soon as the words fell, a big man with a bear's back and a tiger's waist grabbed a big knife and came out of the ranks, and volunteered: "I want to go."

"Okay, but although Anguo is excellent in martial arts, he is still cautious."

"No". Wu Anguo took the order, held a big knife, rubbed one foot on the horse's belly, and led more than 40 light horsemen to ride the horse and whip towards Xinye.

"Shoot". A man dressed as a small general, found a cavalry killing and quickly gave the order

Whoosh.

More than 500 arrows shot out like lightning with lightning speed, like meteors catching the moon, one after another, and the sky was filled with arrows in an instant.

At the moment of shooting, the archer immediately drew arrows from the quiver hanging from his waist, and fired the next round one after another, and the arrows in the sky fell like rain.

Wu Anguo hurriedly swung his knife to block a few flying arrows, in the face of such a fierce attack, even if the martial arts were world-famous, he was helpless at this time, let alone scolding, he was pierced through the throat before he could scold.

But the dozens of light horsemen behind were miserable, they had the martial arts of Wu Anguo, and several of them were shot at once, and they turned on their backs.

"Raise the shield". Wu Anguo shouted, then turned over and dismounted, squatted down, and more than 20 people were enveloped by seven or eight wooden shields, only a few were shot by arrows through the gaps in the wooden shields because of bad luck.

"Retreat". Wu Anguo immediately and decisively ordered, otherwise he would not be able to stop it with a wooden shield alone. More than 20 people held wooden shields and slowly moved backwards, quickly out of range.

On the city wall, the guard's eyes were like electricity: "Dozens of people dare to come here to be presumptuous, they have wasted so many arrows, and they still want to escape, so that you know what is there and no return."

A guard next to him advised: "General, don't chase after the poor, be careful of ambushes."

The guard felt that it made sense when he thought about it, even if he had a murderous aura in his heart, he had to suppress it forcefully at this moment, gritted his teeth, and slammed his fist on the wall of the city in order to vent his grievances.

Wu Anguo, who was not far away, retreated on horseback, turning his head from time to time to look at the city wall, and found that they were indifferent, and no half figure came out to pursue. Shaking his head, he had to go back to report in frustration.

"Hmph, I'm actually smart." Ma Bi, the Yellow Turban General, was suddenly so angry that his teeth itched, he snorted angrily, pulled out his long sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted at the Yellow Turban thieves behind him: "Brothers! Rush me! Whoever hits the city first, Lao Tzu will reward you women with any choice, ten taels of gold"!

Tempted with heavy money, Ma Pi also seemed helpless, and had no choice but to do it, not long ago, Lu Zhi sent someone to urge him to take Xinye as soon as possible, otherwise when his army came, hum!

Moreover, most of the Yellow Turban thieves were organized by those peasants who did not have enough to eat, as well as local gangsters, except for a few true believers in the Taiping Dao, the rest of the people were holding the idea of fighting for glory and wealth.

and eat a full meal, they will follow the Yellow Turban thieves to rebel, so those high-sounding words are useless at all, it is better to tempt them to sell their lives with heavy rewards.

After hearing the words of the main general Ma Pi, all the Yellow Turban thieves, including Wu Anguo, had red eyes, and their legs were like being hit with chicken blood, scrambling to be the first, desperately swarming up, and rushing forward to kill. When the army all walked away, Ma Pifang followed.

Soon, the thieves pushed the heavy siege vehicles and light ladders, and began to approach the city wall step by step.

More than 1,000 Yellow Turban thieves, armed with shields on their left and swords in their right, rushed to the city wall first.

"Shoot me hard"! On the city wall, the guard stood on the head of the city, looking at the thieves who rushed to kill one after another outside the city, the expression on his face was as cold as frost, and he shouted violently, and at the same time he also clenched the wooden bow in his left hand, grabbed the arrow in his right hand, and drew the bow and arrow.

After aiming at the enemy, he let go of his hand without saying a word, and the arrow swished out like lightning, directly shooting through the head of a thief soldier under the city, and the brain juice was emitted everywhere, splashing on the thief soldier next to him.

The defenders set an example, so that all the defenders were boosted and their morale was greatly boosted, and they took arrows from the quiver and continued to shoot at the city.

The dense rain of arrows in the sky was like playing a song of death, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood oozing from them soaked almost every inch of the land.

After the Yellow Turban thieves paid the heavy price of hundreds of casualties, more than a dozen ladders had been built at the head of the city, and the Yellow Turbans stepped on them step by step through the ladders.

However, not long after the ladder was erected, it was pushed down by the defenders, or cut in two sections by the broadsword, and fell down under the city wall as a pile of useless scrap wood.

The well is the same height as the city wall, and there are archers standing on it, which are used to cover the army that climbs the wall during the siege, and shoot at the defenders of the city wall, which can be regarded as a movable arrow tower.

More than a dozen wells were like beasts of the wilderness, and their powerful bodies were almost flush with the city walls, which made all the defenders on the city walls look discolored.

"General, the enemy has already dispatched the well, which is very unfavorable to our army, it is better to let the last general lead a few hundred soldiers to rush out and destroy their well." The one who opened his mouth to ask for his life was one of the best fierce generals in Xinye, Xingdaorong, who made good use of the double iron halberd, and was appreciated by Wei Ting, the general of Xinye, for his outstanding efforts to kill the enemy, and thus his official position was directly promoted.

Even though he knew that the well was going to pose a serious threat to our army, Wei Ting shook his head and did not give Xing Daorong a chance to make meritorious contributions: "Dao Rong look, there are hundreds of thieves guarding each well on the other side, and they are gathered at the city gate."
