Chapter 72: The Battle of Changshui Pass II
With the sound of the trebuchet "squeaking" and the herald flag of the Dark Cloud Army dancing left and right, the trebuchet has reached the projection position. [Ran^Text^Library] []
I heard the sound of the bolt turning, and thirty trebuchets started together, and more than 40 catties of stones flew densely towards Changshui Pass, driving the sound of "whooshing" falling from the sky. The huge stones hit the city wall heavily, smashing a stone chip, and sometimes a few stones can smash the city wall for a while; Sometimes, the stone will hit the female wall, and the fragile female wall can't withstand the impact, and it will be exploded directly, and the stone-throwing that enters through the wall will slap the archers who are shrinking behind the female wall into a bloody blur!
Changshui Pass was not a fortified level, and no ruler would be bored enough to establish a claim in this place, so under frequent blows, Changshui Pass showed its true strength - after a quarter of an hour of constant impact, the walls began to crumble in several places.
Several heralds rode on horseback and galloped left and right in front of the main formation, each waving the herald flag in front of the main formation. Then the phalanxes of the infantry in the front line sounded "Forward!" With the sound of the order, the infantry phalanx of the Dark Cloud Army began to move on. With the sound of the infantry's stamping, the catapults of the Feiyun Army have also begun to project, unlike the Dark Cloud Army, they use gravel projection, so the rain-like gravel falls through the air one by one, and from time to time the head of the soldier wearing a black helmet is broken and bleeding, causing a burst of chaos! The infantry of the Dark Cloud Army deserved to be battle-hardened for a long time, and after the initial panic, the infantry of each team regrouped one after another, silently enduring the rubble falling from the sky.
By the time they had just rushed through the projection area, they were already very close to the city wall, and the catapults of the Dark Cloud Army finally stopped projecting, and the archers of the Feiyun Army immediately came out of the battlement, and the commander with the long sword shouted loudly, "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! The arrows began to shoot down one after another, and the dark cloud army immediately heard a loud voice from the phalanx, "Raise the shield!" As soon as the order was given, the soldiers were seen raising their jet-black shields in unison to block the arrows shot from the city wall. The arrows of the Feiyun Army shot on the big shield, and there was a crackling sound, pleasant and cruel, most of the arrows were stopped by the shield, and only a small part of the arrows became the lucky ones, passing through the gaps, shooting the soldiers with shields into the unlucky ones!
When the dark cloud army braved the rain of arrows to clash under the city wall, the cloud ladder was pressed the city wall by the soldiers, and several soldiers raised their shields next to them, covered it, and began to climb up. The Feiyun Army on the city wall hurriedly threw down stones to stop the soldiers who were about to rush up, who knew that the archers of the Wuyun Army were already ready to wait, and as soon as they appeared, more than a dozen arrows flew over.
Seeing that they were powerless to stop the Dark Cloud Army from landing on the city, the commanders of the various parts of the city wall were just about to use reserves to strengthen the defense, when they suddenly heard a bang in the distance, and heard someone shouting loudly, "Withdraw!" Remove! The city is broken! At this moment, the sound of war drums in the dark cloud army became more urgent, and the besieging soldiers everywhere heard the drums more and more heroically, and no longer hid the bow and arrow boulders from the city wall, and struggled to climb up!
The soldiers defending the city everywhere in the Feiyun Army were outnumbered and hurriedly ran back, while many warriors of the Wuyun Army who climbed the city struggled to jump up, grabbed the female wall battlements and went up, about to intercept the fleeing Feiyun Army soldiers, the Feiyun Sword player hurriedly caught up and covered the retreating archers. How do you know that the soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army who ascended the city were all extremely elite, and when the battle was not long, the sword and card players could not stop it, and they were cut down by a knife before they had time to retreat!
When the battle was fierce on the city wall, I saw a shirtless soldier of the Dark Cloud Army stepping on the battlement, jumping up, climbing up the tower, tearing off the flying cloud flag, and then inserting the dark cloud flag. Suddenly, the Dark Cloud Army, which had not yet entered the city, excitedly raised its knife and slammed the armor with the blade, "Bang! Bang! The sound shook the sky!
The Feiyun Flag was taken down, the morale of the Feiyun Army plummeted, and no one was willing to fight to the death in the back, so they retreated. The Feiyun Army, which was neatly arranged behind the city wall, was about to rush up to recapture the city wall, but the gate of the pass had been cut open, and the soldiers of the Wuyun Army who entered the water swarmed in.
The "heroic" Feiyun Army couldn't care about the Changshui Pass anymore, and they hurriedly ran back, and the Dark Cloud Army chased them all the way like a tide, and there was no more level that could stop them! Hundreds of brave soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army threw big shields, untied their battle robes, and chased after them like madmen with big knives in their hands, bluffing the Feiyun Army all the way to the feet and fleeing in all directions.
On a mountain pack in the main formation of the Dark Cloud Army, Mi Fangqiu followed a group of generals of the Dark Cloud Army to observe the battle. In Mi Fangqiu's eyes, the Dark Cloud Army is as imposing as a rainbow and extremely elite, compared to his subordinates, they are like children collecting firewood. At this time, all the generals suddenly cheered, and Mi Fangqiu, who was startled, looked up, and it turned out that the city wall had been breached, and a large number of soldiers rushed into the city wall.
At this time, it was the opportunity to beat the water dogs and reap the merits, and all the generals knelt in front of the main general Hei Dayan to ask for battle, and the black big eyes saw that their generals were so heroic, but they also knew that they just wanted to get war merits, but who didn't want to go! Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly heard a person hurriedly kneeling down in front of him and shouting: "Don't do it, general, the Feiyun Army must have a backhand!" β
This shout, the other generals glared at him angrily, they hated this sissy general so much, I didn't expect him to dare to interrupt everyone's financial route, it's really hateful. Immediately, several generals were about to rush over to fight, and suddenly heard the big black eyes shouting: "Presumptuous, the same dark cloud general, how can you look like this!" "The black big eyes are one of the best in the army in martial arts, where do those generals dare to move.
After drinking those people, the big black eyes gently asked Mi Fangqiu: "General Mi, what do you mean when you say that the Feiyun Army must have a backhand?" Mi Fangqiu had just escaped death, and when he heard the Lord General ask him, he hurriedly replied: "Lord General, I have been in the Feiyun Army for a long time, and I know that the Feiyun Army is the elite of the Feiyun City Army, and it is like this!" β
The big black eyes asked rhetorically: "According to what you say, then let me ask you, what else does the Feiyun Army have?" β
Mi Fangqiu lowered his head and pondered for a while, so he had to say, "I don't know, but I'm sureβ"
Before he finished speaking, Big Black Eyes interrupted him violently, "Okay, tell me when you think about it, so let's do it, a few of you lead the troops to pursue quickly, be careful of the ambush soldiers, a few of you follow them, and immediately stretch out to both sides after entering the pass, covering them to fight in the center!" β
Those generals were beaming, and they each gave up, waved their horses, and led their respective troops to rush into the pass to expand the results! Mi Fangqiu looked at the large area of marching soldiers from afar, and was depressed. Big Black Eyes walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "General Mi, what you said is very reasonable, but I can't offend everyone for a reason that has no evidence!" β
Mi Fangqiu nodded in understanding, and said silently in his heart: "You still don't know how powerful the city lord of Feiyun City is!" β
