Chapter 37: Turning Hands into Clouds
After the infinite rain of arrows from the White Horse Followers, the 300 peasant archers on the city wall have been reduced to 240 people, and the positions between them are even more sparse.
The rain of arrows on the city wall continued to pour, and in an instant, the casualties of the foot soldiers under the city increased greatly, and most of the dead were those who carried siege equipment, and they became the main targets of the iron wall!
The treatment grade of these foot soldiers is almost the difference between heaven and earth, most of these people don't even wear armor, ordinary clothes can't defend against arrows and swords, their casualties gradually increase, everyone has fear on their faces, looking back at the scattered white horse followers, their faces are even more bitter, they can only grit their teeth and rush forward!
"These foot soldiers should be the Yellow Turban soldiers captured by Zhou Siyuan!" Meng Qing saw some clues, these infantry played the role of almost cannon fodder, and they were very afraid of the white horse behind them, obviously they were not from the same army!
The speed of the war horses under the crotch of the white horse is unusually fast, and they are good at riding and shooting, if these foot soldiers are afraid of the siege and want to escape, they will definitely not be able to survive under their arrows!
Retreating is certain death, and there is still the possibility of survival when moving forward, although these foot soldiers are depressed in their hearts, they can only bury their heads in the charge, in vain to break through the city gate quickly, so as to get a glimmer of life!
The other party is already determined to attack, but the iron wall is relieved, the facts are in front of him, and the next thing is to think about how to deal with it, saying that everything else is false!
"This gang of thieves is short of troops, hurry up and speed up the attack, once they rush to the city wall, it will be their death!" Zhou Siyuan watched from a distance, only to see that there was no one else on the city wall except for scattered archers, and then thought of the scene when he had just come here and saw the fierce battle in the city, and suddenly thought that the battle in the city was still unending, and the other party could not draw much troops to defend the city, so he shouted loudly.
When the soldiers in the front row heard this, they saw the "miserable" scene on the city again, and they had already believed most of them in their hearts, and their faces were also happy, and the speed under their feet was even faster.
"Did you get it?" The smile on Tie Bi's face was even worse, this qiē was in his hands, and he shouted: "The archers concentrate on the ladder and act according to the plan!" ”
At this critical juncture, people didn't have time to think at all, the commander's order was a qiē, and the peasant archers took action one after another, only to see an archer on the edge of the ladder hurriedly shoot an arrow down the ladder, and hit a foot soldier who was climbing up, the foot soldier screamed, fell off the cloud ladder, and by the way, knocked down a few soldiers below, and was finally drowned in the sea of people.
These peasant archers are usually not accurate, but this kind of shooting that almost does not need to be aimed at is definitely a shot of accuracy, and the archer did not open his bow again after shooting this arrow, but simply pushed the ladder outward with his hand, the city wall was already smooth, and he suddenly had nowhere to borrow his strength, and was swept out of the distance and smashed down!
The ladder is heavy, the strength of this smash down is not small, the soldiers below hurriedly want to dodge, but now it is overcrowded, there is really nowhere to escape, except for a few lucky lucky escapes, most people were smashed on the head by the ladder, even if they don't die, they have lost their combat ability!
That archer was ecstatic to see the results of the battle he had caused, and he had killed more than a dozen of the opponent's soldiers in one fell swoop, how much military merit should this have, and how many rewards could he get?
He thought about it beautifully, and didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran to another cloud ladder to repeat the old trick, but before he could stretch out his hands, a feather arrow in the distance **** came, directly piercing him through dozens of transparent holes!
"Quick, push these ladders out of the way!" The iron wall roared repeatedly, and now no enemy has successfully climbed the city wall, and he can calmly arrange.
One by one, the peasant archers were separated from the ranks, and although their actions could cause a lot of results, they themselves became the primary targets of the White Horse Righteous Servants, and often dozens of feathered arrows greeted them when they went out alone, killing them on the spot in an instant!
"Carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of me?" Zhou Siyuan sneered again and again, and ordered the Bai Ma Yi servants to pay attention to the movement on the city wall at all times, and kill anyone who saw any abnormal movement, and protect the safety of the ladder at any cost!
Once he has captured the walls and opened the gates, his cavalry will be able to wipe out both of the city's men!
"White horse is righteous, invincible in the world!" As long as he didn't have these abominable walls, he would have absolute certainty of annihilating an army that dared to appear in his sight!
"Invincible in the world!" The white horse servants shouted in unison, the sound shook the four fields, and the arrows in their hands were faster, they had their pride!
"Elite!" The eyes of the hot sun were shining, what kind of strong cavalry unit had always been? Although there were only more than a thousand people, he had no doubt about the combat ability of this strong army, once it charged, even if the opposite side was ten times as large as it, it could only be killed!
The white horse is righteous, and it really lives up to its name!
Tie Bi's face gradually became solemn, and within two days of the start of the game, he met the legendary White Horse Yicong, and was forced to fight against it, I don't know if this is fortunate or unlucky?
The movement on the city wall was completely restricted under the strong firepower of Bai Ma Yi, and the foot soldiers took advantage of this time to quickly climb up, and there were already people who had climbed the city wall in a few places, but when they climbed the seemingly empty city wall, they didn't have time to be happy, and they were instantly shocked by the sight in front of them, and almost fell off the city wall again trembling.
If he could, he would rather fall!
There are undoubtedly only a few hundred archers on the city wall, but behind this city wall, there are thousands of various armies!
These soldiers bent slightly, hiding their bodies well, and they were always ready to attack, and when the enemy could climb the city wall, they would rise up and kill him instantly!
This foot soldier is the first "warrior" to climb the city wall on the siege side, countless pairs of cold eyes are closely fixed on his body, only his scalp is numb, and he doesn't know who suddenly shook the steel knife in his hand in the hidden crowd, a strong ray of sunlight shines on the back of his knife, and then it is reflected in front of the foot soldier, he only feels a flower in front of him, and he doesn't even have time to react to the severe pain all over his body, and he was instantly slashed with countless knives on his body, and fell down screaming.
The peasant archers suffered very heavy casualties under the fierce fire of the White Horse Yicong, and the number was less than a hundred, and more and more enemy foot soldiers climbed the city wall, and when the iron wall saw that the time was almost up, he immediately shouted: "There is no need to continue to hide, kill them all for me!" ”
These soldiers had been holding back for a long time, and when they heard the commander's order at this moment, they suddenly came to their senses, yelled and jumped on the city wall one after another, slashing and stabbing the enemies who climbed the city wall with knives and guns!
"How can there be so many people?" Liu Siyuan was shocked, and a feeling of being played with as a monkey came to his heart, and he suddenly became angry and shouted: "Where does the white horse righteousness come from? Shoot them with arrows! ”
"No!"
"I'm out of arrows!"
"There were too many arrows just now, and I only have two left!"
The news he got made him stunned, and when he looked around, he suddenly found that after a long period of long-range suppression just now, their arrows had been exhausted, and even he only had five left!
"Did he do it on purpose?" Liu Siyuan frowned and looked at the enemy general commanding Ruoding on the city wall, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became: "Yes, yes!" He must have been prepared for this, deliberately ambushing the soldiers behind the city walls to give me the illusion of an empty army, and then sending those useless archers to consume my arrows, and now we have very few arrows left, and we can't kill them on a large scale, so he sent the soldiers out! ”
"Good calculation, really good calculation!" He was so angry that he was still unconscious of being tricked, thinking that he was under control, but he didn't know that the other party had treated him as a fool?
It's really infuriating!
He had great confidence in the attack of the White Horse Followers, and if that group of soldiers had appeared on the city wall earlier, I am afraid that with the same amount of arrows consumed, this new force would have been completely annihilated! No matter how bad it is, it can wipe out seventy or eighty percent, and it will not maintain full combat effectiveness as it is now!
He hated it, he was so careless, he was actually led by the nose and didn't know it, and he wasted too many opportunities to attack!
"When I break through this city, I will definitely divide your five horses into corpses to vent the hatred in my heart!"
