Chapter 361: Night Attack
However, regarding the arrival of reinforcements, Liu Piaoyun was skeptical in his heart.
Because at this moment, he is standing on the top of the tower, and he can look out at all the scenes around him.
In the distance, three of the same wolf smoke rose from each direction, and it was not surprising that they must have come from the same city as Nuhe City.
The barbarians and demons obviously want to use the various cities as traps to trap people like them who come to investigate!
If you extrapolate further, it is very likely that they will use the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and will not attack the besieged city, but will specially ambush the reinforcements that come in, and want to annihilate them in one fell swoop!
The people of the barbarian tribe definitely don't have such a mind, maybe it is the meaning of those shrewd and cunning people of the demon clan, or the military advisors sent by the Manchu Dynasty!
However, even if they knew about the enemy's conspiracy, Liu Piaoyun and they had nothing to do, everything they could have done had already been done, and the result still depended on luck.
If reinforcements don't come for a long time, then you can only find a way to break through by yourself!
Liu Piaoyun shook his head and expelled these troublesome thoughts from his mind.
In the war between the two dynasties, no matter how talented he is, he is just a small chess piece.
Of course, Liu Piaoyun doesn't like to be treated as a pawn, however, if he wants to become a chess player, his strength is still too far behind.
He has so much to do, and the road he has to go is long, long, and the road is full of thorns and bumps.
However, his martial arts heart has never wavered, but has become more and more determined!
Jumping off the beacon tower, Liu Piaoyun returned to the city gate with Xiao Ke.
Xiao Zhan was sticking to the gate of the city gate, and there were less than ten arrows left in the quiver barrel that Liu Piaoyun gave him.
Seeing Liu Piaoyun and Xiao Ke coming up, Xiao Zhan immediately smiled, waved the bow and arrow in his hand, and said to him: "Master Hou, this bow of yours is so easy to use, I shot five barbarian cubs who sneaked over!"
Liu Piaoyun laughed and gave a thumbs up to the other party.
Looking at the bow and arrow handed over by Xiao Zhan, Liu Piaoyun waved his hand and said, "You take it, I still have it here, but it's hard for you!"
As he spoke, he took out another bucket of arrows and handed it over!
............
Night came very quickly, and as night fell, it soon darkened.
When the stars began to shine in the sky, bonfires were lit on the walls.
General Lu and others also completed the search and all returned.
They searched most of the city and made sure that no enemy was hiding.
However, this does not help to solve the current dilemma.
The whistling spring breeze swept over the city, blowing the bonfire flickering and dimming, and there was still some chill in this season that had just entered spring!
Although there were many empty houses in this city, in order to deter the unscrupulous barbarians outside, General Lu decided to let everyone stay
On the city walls, to ensure safety.
Shook kept adding firewood to the campfire to make it more intense.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, although as a martial arts powerhouse, he could not be afraid of the cold and heat, however, under such conditions, it was still a gratifying thing to be able to sit next to the warm fire.
Not to mention that on the bonfire, a large pot of broth was boiling.
When marching and fighting, everyone received food and tools in the supplies, and after a while, a strong smell of meat wafted through the air.
Gao Yunlong took out two jars of wine from the space bag, patted open the mud seal, and let everyone drink it separately.
"Oh! It's really not easy, I didn't expect that the second brother, who has always been slamming the door, will also have a generous day!"
Seeing this, Fat Zhou joked a little playfully!
", when am I going to slam the door? Hmph! Let you say that I, anyone can drink, I won't give it to you, I'll kill you!"
"Ugh!"
Seeing that everyone was holding bowls, tasting the aroma of wine in their mouths, Zhou Fatzi regretted this!
Why do you owe it so much, this time it's okay, Gao Er's coming is real!
"Hehe, I said second brother, I was joking just now, share me a bowl, don't worry, after I go back, how about I get you two jars of good wine from the palace?"
"Oh, is that true?"
Fat Zhou patted his chest and said, "It must be dropped, some little things, why worry about it!"
"Well, that's pretty much it!"
As soon as he heard the good wine, Gao Yunlong's two eyes brightened, in this life, he loves to drink, and he sees wine as his life.
The meat in the pot was almost cooked, and everyone drank wine and ate meat, which was very pleasant.
However, this kind of comfort is only short-lived, and next, I don't know if I can have such time again, chatting, drinking and eating meat!
Under the noses of the enemy, everyone didn't drink much, just simply ate some, and then sat cross-legged and slowly recovered from their injuries!
General Lu looked into the distance, lit up with sparkling fires on the field, and said in a deep voice: "We will stay here at night, if the reinforcements do not come tomorrow, then find a way to break through on our own!"
In the absence of reinforcements, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to break out on your own, but it is better than sitting still.
"Woo ......"
As soon as his words fell, a horn suddenly sounded in the barbarian camp half a mile away.
A cavalry army of hundreds of wolf riders rushed out of the camp and headed straight for the gates of Nuhe.
A night attack by the barbarians?
General Lu couldn't help but be surprised, but still ordered: "Prepare for battle!"
Everyone immediately scattered on the city wall and drew their weapons, the enemy was menacing, and it was unlikely that they would just go around here, and perhaps a fierce battle would break out.
The barbarian wolf rode extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it approached a hundred meters away from the city wall.
"Shoot!"
With a low roar, the barbarian warriors who rushed to the front raised the bow and crossbow in their hands in unison, and pulled the trigger towards the people guarding the city wall, with neat movements and well-trained.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Dozens of crossbow arrows were shot up the city wall in an instant!
"Ahh
"Everyone, be careful, it's a crossbow for siege!"
"Get out of the way, don't block hard!"
There was an uproar on the city wall, and the sudden crossbow caught them off guard, and several people were hit on the spot!
I thought that these barbarian warriors were using ordinary bows and arrows shot during the day, so when the enemy rushed over to shoot, everyone didn't pay attention to it, just brandished their swords to resist!
However, what I never expected was that the enemy used a crossbow!
The crossbow is a genus of spiritual weapons, and its production is extremely complex and very rare!
On the arrow, it can be attached to the spiritual power below the martial arts, and its power is very amazing, and the crossbow arrows shot are equivalent to the full force of the martial artist!
To be able to shoot over these few people in the realm of martial madness, presumably, this arrow must have the spiritual power of a middle-level martial madness, or even a high-level martial madness!
