As soon as Yuan Taizuo's words fell, the catapults that had been prepared for a long time unloaded the straw covered with their bodies, and the big stones weighing six or seven pounds had already been placed in the sinking stone trough, and with the sound of the officers, the gravity arm at the front fell fiercely, and the other end of the big stone was held up high and fast, and more than 100 stones of different shapes flew out horizontally, with the sound of the howling wind, and flew to the Liao River and the river bank in front of it.

"Bang" "Bang", some stones with insufficient range kept falling in the crowd of Goguryeo soldiers, as long as they fell, it was a pile of flesh and blood, but the soldiers on one side didn't care, and the auxiliaries braved the bombardment of these stones, dragging these unlucky ghosts who were stoned to death by their own side to the back, without even looking at the battle situation in front.

In the Liao River, once again a huge column of water kept rising, several boulders smashed the water surface of the pontoon bridge, while raising the water column, it also spread a huge shock wave on the river surface, rushing to the bridge deck for a while, more than a dozen Sui soldiers who were running wildly stood unsteadily, their feet slipped, and they fell into the water like dumplings, struggled twice, and were dragged into the bottom of the water by the iron armor of the whole body, leaving only a string of bubbles to float.

Wang Shichong looked coldly at the scene on the Liao River in the distance, although he was constantly hit by big stones, but the luck of the Sui army today is good, so far, not a single stone has been smashed on the pontoon bridge, and the rocket attack of Goguryeo, which he has been most worried about, has not appeared until now, seeing that the Sui army on the three-way pontoon bridge continues to rush over the bridge, more than 2,000 people have boarded the opposite river bank and began to line up the first line of defense with shields. The companions behind the cover regrouped. Then it slowly pushed forward.

McIron rod also stood up. Although he had been motionless until then, he could no longer sit still, his eyes were wide open, and he watched nervously at the battle ahead, and he finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the footsteps of the Sui army on the opposite riverbank. smiled: "General Wang, it seems that you and I are a little worried, I think this Goguryeo person is nothing more than that!" ”

Wang Shichong's face was gloomy and he shook his head: "No, it definitely can't be so simple." Didn't you notice, they sent big stones, and it is said that when we just crossed the force, they should have sent small stones, mainly gravel. to kill and wound our soldiers who crossed the bridge, but they sent these big stones. It seems to be a lot of noise, but it doesn't kill much, and it doesn't smash our bridge, and I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Mai Tiezhu said with a smile: "Probably the Goguryeo people are afraid that if they send small stones now, they will hit more soldiers on their own side if they collide in the air, you see that now they send big stones, and when they come down, there will be only seven or eight stones that fall on their side, but if they send small stones, then I don't know how many of their own people will be hit." ”

While the two were talking, they only heard a loud noise, a big stone weighing five or six pounds, whizzing through the air, and smashed heavily on the left pontoon bridge about the eighth section of the position, five or six wooden boats tied together were smashed into the air and flew into the air, together with more than 30 sergeants on the bridge, fell into the water fiercely, the whole pontoon bridge, interrupted, more than 20 soldiers behind couldn't hold their feet, all of a sudden all rushed into the river in front, the water surface was suddenly covered with Sui soldiers who kept fluttering, and through the transmission of this pontoon bridge, It was also interrupted.

Mai Tiezhu's face changed, he stood up, and said sharply: "Order, all the sergeants on the bridge on the left have jumped into the water, and you have to swim for me, and the craftsmen and soldiers will immediately make up a section of the pontoon bridge, and repair it quickly!" ”

Fei Qingnu nodded and waved the flag, and the three heralds also quickly ran out, Mai Tiezhu shook his head, and sighed: "I'm afraid of such a thing!" ”

Wang Shichong's expression was still very serious, and he said calmly: "If the bridge is broken, it can still be repaired, and if one is broken, there are still two, this is not the most worrying, what I am worried about is ......"

Before Wang Shichong's words fell, a red flag suddenly rose on the stage of the Goguryeo general opposite, which was as bright as a fire, and shook it three times in the air, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "Not good!" ”

The archers of Goguryeo suddenly stood up at the same time, and the 30,000 people suddenly changed from the crouching state just now to a standing posture, and more than 30,000 bows and arrows were raised at a 45-degree angle diagonally at once, posing in the most standard hanging and shooting posture!

Wang Shichong roared: "Shield! ”

But Wang Shichong's words could not have been roared to the bank of the river a few miles away, the soldiers of the former army of the Sui army were still in a hurry, and people kept being hit by big stones, and as long as the companions behind did not roll the stones, they would immediately plug the gap, and the shields on the first line had been erected, but the thousands of people behind still did not have any protection above their heads.

Hundreds of Goguryeo officers issued an order to "shoot" from their mouths at the same time, and more than 30,000 arrows suddenly soared, and a large area of black pressure was pressed to the ground, covering almost the entire sky, and the soldiers on the bank of the Sui army only felt that the sky was suddenly dark, and when they looked up again, they only found that the three-edged arrows on the shafts of tens of thousands of arrows, like the eyes of the god of death, flashed with a cold cold light, and smashed down overwhelmingly.

Hundreds of fast Sui soldiers hurriedly raised the shield in hand over their heads, but the rest of the people were not so lucky, the iron helmet and bronze armor was not omnipotent, and they still couldn't prevent these arrows from being smashed from high in the air with huge potential energy, with the screams one after another, the soldiers of the Sui army were like a wheat field that was severely blown down by the wind, and suddenly hundreds of people fell to the ground, and several sergeants who were hit by arrows in non-critical parts struggled to get up and take the shield, but they were shot in the head or chest by the follow-up arrows that followed, and they didn't even hum, and fell to the ground as a cold corpse.

Mai Tiecane's eyes were red, in his position, he could see clearly, the archers of the Goguryeo army were extremely well-trained, and the speed of arrows was extremely fast, not inferior to the best archers in the Sui army, and even some archers held a handful of arrows in their hands, there were more than a dozen, and a certain finger moved, and an arrow was quickly shot out when it was wound, and even the step of reaching out to the quiver to get the arrow was exempted.

Wang Shichong sighed: "I have long heard that the Goguryeo people have strong bows and fast arrows, and they are the descendants of Dongyi, and this Yi character is all with a bow, which shows that they have been famous for their good archery since ancient times, and we are really in big trouble today!" ”

Mai Tiezhu roared sharply: "General Fei, you personally lead the team, you will take the shield when you go ashore, leave the dead alone, kick all into the river, and quickly clear a landing field!" (To be continued......)
