Chapter Seventy-Nine

The biggest advantage of crossbow arrows over bows and arrows is that they are extremely easy to use. An ordinary person only needs to play a few more times, and he can aim well. Coupled with its lethality at close range, the common people can defeat the soldiers with knives with crossbow arrows. For this reason, the imperial court even issued a ban on the private use of crossbow arrows by the people.

The crossbow arrows used in the Fish Scale Shield Array are more terrifying than ordinary crossbow arrows.

Continuous, destructive.

With these two advantages, coupled with the easy-to-use nature of crossbow arrows, Xu Minghui did not dare to imagine the scene of a crossbow arrow in the hands of the Daheng army.

In fact, his worries were unnecessary, the production process of crossbow arrows equipped with the fish scale shield array was extremely complicated, and he couldn't make many of them in ten days and half a month, and if he wanted to equip the whole army, it would be several years later.

Crossbow arrows are powerful, but they don't do much in siege warfare. The Xuzhou Baijia in the city, with its high advantage, can easily dodge crossbow arrows. Its role now is more of a means to deter the enemy from the fish scale shield array.

Xu Minghui knew this, so he was only surprised by the sophistication of the Tianlin Army's weapons.

"Afraid of what? These things can't kill a few people. After Xu Minghui came to his senses, he found that the people around him were scared and reminded him.

The words of the chief general were orders, and the warriors in the city who were startled by the rain of arrows woke up. The soldiers came back to their senses and realized that the casualties were really not large. Although they were still in a hurry when the next wave of arrows came, except for a few unlucky ghosts, the others were unharmed.

The warriors discovered that the terrible repeater was a paper tiger, and it could not hurt anyone with its teeth and claws, so there was no need to worry about dodging it carefully.

"Archery!"

"Throw stones!"

The order was given, and the war continued to heat up.

The strange thing is that the Tianlin Army behind seems to have let the Fish Scale Shield Array go unattended, even if the Fish Scale Shield Array is now called suffering heavy casualties, they did not rush to the rescue.

Except for the archers who shot a few waves of arrows to buy time for the advance of the fish scale shield array, the others were more of a cold bystander.

The advance speed of the Fish Scale Shield Array suddenly increased, and the troops in front had even reached directly below the city wall.

Stones, bows and arrows could not stop the pace of the fish scale shield array, and they went crazy.

"Are they crazy, they don't have a ladder and still come desperately, do they want to hide in front of the city gate and wait for death?" Xu Minghui couldn't figure out what the purpose of the Fish Scale Shield Array was, just like he ignored the whereabouts of Emperor Qinghua and Wang Lie. Xu Minghui thought that they were just hiding in the army behind him inadvertently.

The repeating crossbows of the Fish Scale Shield Array were launched again, didn't they know that those crossbow arrows had little effect?

Xu Minghui took a small step back with the defenders of the city, dodging the angle where the crossbow arrow attacks were most concentrated.

The first wave.

Second wave.

……

Seventh wave.

The crossbow bolts are not over yet, yes, the rain of arrows just now is relatively thin, and only half of them are launched.

This time, the archers of the Tianlin Army in the back also shot arrows wildly.

The White Feather Army was bent on dealing with the double rain of arrows, and they didn't realize that the first wave of fish scale shield array warriors who had finished shooting arrows had actually climbed the city wall.

The first wave.

……

Seventh wave.

"Counterattack!"

The archers of the White Feather Army also shot arrows like crazy, and were suppressed by the Tianlin Army for a long time, how could this army, which was given the mission of surpassing the Tianlin Army, not be angry?

The warriors outside the archers were not idle, the enemy strangely did not rush up to attack the city, and their responsibility was to throw stones.

"Why are there fewer people in the city?"

The stone-throwing troops of the White Feather Army found that there were fewer people under the city!

Another inexplicable disappearance?!

Until, one of the fighters suddenly shouted: "They, the enemy has climbed up." ”

A few bolts burst through the air and hit his head as he poked out of the wall.

Xu Minghui also discovered under the reminder of the soldiers' lives, and at some point, hundreds of black-armored soldiers climbed up on the city wall!

Gu couldn't wonder why the enemy could hang on the city wall and not fall, Xu Minghui hurriedly ordered, "Throw stones!" Throw stones! ”

The fish scale shield array was divided into two parts, and hundreds of people were climbing on the city wall, and hundreds of people were aiming at their heads sticking out of the city wall.

The distance was very close, and the crossbow arrow showed its terrible at this time. It can be easily aimed, and it can be fired by pulling the mechanism. The white-feathered soldiers who poked out their heads sometimes threw only a stone, and they were assassinated by sharp arrows.

Xu Minghui smiled bitterly again, today he didn't know how many times he had smiled bitterly because of Tianlin Jun. It is really worthy of the army brought out by Wang Lie, a powerful old dog, and it is really powerful.

But he wasn't out of it.

Xu Minghui gave a few commands, and Bai Yujun no longer poked his head out and threw stones, but picked up a whole basket of stones and poured them down!

The amount of stone consumption is staggering, but the effect is just as amazing.

The Fish Scale Shield Array warrior fell with his head broken and bleeding.

They still didn't give up, Xu Minghui sighed as he watched their blind efforts, as long as this group of crazy people who were not afraid of death stopped making strange moves, they would definitely fail.

Just as he was sighing, the herald at the north gate told him the news of the shock.

"General, where is the general?" The herald of the north gate hurriedly ran over, pushed through the crowd, and looked for Xu Minghui's figure.

"Don't be impatient, there's an accident at the north gate?" Xu Minghui couldn't help but be shocked when he saw his panting appearance, but don't give him a "surprise" at the North Gate.

The most unwilling thing is always the most likely to happen. When the herald saw Xu Minghui, he knelt on the ground and said with fear on his face: "General, I'm afraid the North Gate and the North Gate are going to be lost." ”

"What?" Xu Minghui wanted to stay calm in front of the soldiers, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Prince Huang Hao has just promised glory and wealth, and it is less than a day away, is he going to be derelict in his duties?

And once the city gate was breached, Huang Hao also lost the ability to give himself glory and wealth.

Xu Minghui said angrily: "I told you that once anything happens, report it immediately." And you waited until you were about to lose the news before you sent the news, you are trying to lose your head? ”

"Spare your life, spare your life, General." The herald kowtowed, "General Liu said that there are only thousands of people attacking the city, so don't worry about it, I'll ...... it."

At the moment of life and death, the traitor begged for his life.

Xu Minghui remembered that this damn herald had no time to spend on this garbage, so he had to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Some of them will follow me to support the North Gate, and others will deal with the enemy in the right way."
