Forty-nine One Arrow
Wu Youwei stood on the city tower, looking at the Jin army camp with drums and screams in the distance, and his heart was nervous.
There is no doubt that the people who can guard the city gate this night are Yelef's henchmen, and Wu Youwei, the commander of the city guards who has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, has been doing his best to guard the city gate according to Yelef's instructions all night, waiting for the return of the commander.
He didn't know what the Grand Commander was going to do, but he was confident that the Grand Commander would be able to win soon. But the growing noise in the distance, and the movement of the disaster camp, still cast a shadow on his heart.
Finally, seeing a group of cavalry rushing to the city made him breathe a sigh of relief, and there were still cavalry entering the city at such a late hour, there must be no doubt that he was the commander. Wu Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also ashamed of his suspicion of the Grand Commander's force.
The cavalry approached quickly, but there was no sign of slowing down, Wu Youwei waved his hand, and ordered the people below to move away from the horses and enlarge the commander into the city.
"Why is there no one on horseback?" There was a sound of doubt below.
"It's Jin Jun! Hidden under the horse's belly is the Jin army! The screams of soldiers were faintly heard below, and Wu Youwei looked at it, and Jin troops in blue fish scale armor were constantly coming out from under the horse's belly. When they were far away from the city gate, the blue armor of the Jin army could not be seen clearly in the dark night, and when they approached the city gate, all the Jin troops hid their figures in the belly of the horse, because of the negligence of the Liang army, so they got the opportunity to approach the city gate.
The soldiers who had gone to move away from the horses were at a loss for the sudden appearance of the Jin army, and the thin formation was quickly rushed away.
"Put away the drawbridge!" Wu Youwei shouted loudly, and when the defenders who saw that the situation was wrong, they quickly turned the pulley, and the wooden suspension bridge creaked up under the traction of the thick iron chain.
"The others follow me downstairs, don't let the Jin army enter the city!" After speaking, he found that the deputy commander and the city guards around him were still motionless, Wu Youwei turned back angrily, and was about to ask why he didn't go downstairs quickly, but found that the deputy commander was also looking at him in panic, with a tail feather stuck in his neck, Wu Youwei subconsciously touched his neck, and a long arrow was fixed on his neck with his hand, and the screams of other city guards came from behind.
"The enemy army has sharpshooters." This was Wu Youwei's first reaction. "Archon, I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore." Wu Youwei leaned weakly on the battlements and sat down slowly. Feeling the passage of life, Wu Youwei felt a burst of relief, at least he ordered to put away the drawbridge before he died, no matter how fast the enemy cavalry was, it was impossible to jump over the moat, and Chongming City was safe.
"Your Highness, the drawbridge has risen." Wang Dewei looked at the gradually rising suspension bridge and was apprehensive. The army can't cross the river, and it is nonsense to take Chongming City, and when the army of Liang State that is aware of it tomorrow is overwhelmed, it will be ten deaths.
Chen Lihua nodded, and just said lightly: "Lone knows." "Keep killing Liang Jun who went to close the door.
A miserable scream sounded, and for a while, Liang Jun was afraid of closing the door like a tiger and a scorpion. Anyway, the drawbridge has already been built, so why take the risk to close the door?
Liang Jun thought so.
Seeing that Liang Jun's closing move was suspended, Chen Lihua took a deep breath, raised her longbow, and aimed at the creaking chain.
The ancients used bows, one stone is considered a strong bow, one stone is three jun, and one jun is ten catties. Converted to modern weight, it is about 30-60 kilograms, as the so-called: on the force to save one hundred and twenty pounds, after this is the tiger power, do not count. The middle force is reduced by two or three tenths, and the lower force is half of it.
And the longbow in Chen Lihua's hand can reach up to three stones!
The three-stone strong bow has long exceeded the physical strength of ordinary men, let alone women. But Chen Lihua took all kinds of pills given by the system in the secret training of the illusion realm, and the system patted her chest and said, "This night, I will practice penance for ten years." "It's not about an ordinary man polishing his body for ten years, but about the physique that the disciples of the martial arts sect have cultivated with countless medicinal baths and forging their bodies.
And the ancestor of the blacksmith is also a disciple of the martial arts sect, otherwise he can't be a maverick, and he can still stay in the official camp without a strong crossbow, and regard military regulations as nothing.
Chen Lihua gritted her teeth and pulled the strings, she had never completely opened such a strong bow before, but this time, she had no choice.
"Give it to me...... Open! Chen Lihua felt that her body was trembling, her arms were already sore, the bowstring was screaming under the great force, and after the bowstring was pulled to the full moon, her right hand was loosened.
Long arrows pierced the air, emitting a sharp buzz and striking the tight chains. The iron cable broke in response, and the left side of the huge suspension bridge sloped downward, causing a burst of exclamations in the city.
Only then did Liang Jun realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly ignored the rain of arrows from the Jin soldiers on the other side, and planned to close the gate again.
Chen Lihua looked at the last iron cable that was supported with difficulty, one side of the iron cable broke, and the momentum of the suspension bridge rose abruptly, but the defenders in the city held the roulette wheel and did not let the suspension bridge fall.
"There is still an arrow ......" Chen Lihua thought that she still needed an arrow, and when the drawbridge fell and the iron horse entered the city, today's plan could be said to be a complete victory, but at this time, her hands were already shaking like chaff, and she could barely hold the sword, and it was impossible to send another arrow.
"I ...... No...... Yes...... Put...... Abandon. Chen Lihua almost burst out these words from between her teeth, but after the bow was pulled to seventy, even if she exerted all her strength, she could not advance an inch.
The Liang army on the opposite side kept falling, but under the cover of the gate, the gaps exposed were getting smaller and smaller, and the Jin army's shooting was already ineffective.
With a scream, a sharp arrow flew from behind the crowd, and at once it broke the last iron cable, and the drawbridge fell to the river with a wail, and the defenders who were about to close the city gate looked at the crack in the door that still had a third left, and raised their swords in despair to meet the enemy.
"The city gate has been broken, all the soldiers obey the order, kill!" Wang De was overjoyed, spurred his horses, and 200 people threw away the crossbows in their hands, and rode their horses to charge.
Chen Lihua's hands were still trembling, and she had no strength to fight again, so she didn't follow, and looked back to see who had shot the iron cable.
In the faint fluorescence of the torch, the old blacksmith was full of red light, raised the strong bow in his hand to signal to Chen Lihua, and then fell to the ground.
Chen Lihua was startled and quickly went over to support the old blacksmith. The rosy on the old blacksmith's face quickly faded, and he said weakly: "Your Highness, has the city gate been broken?" Only then did Chen Lihua realize that the old man was bleeding from seven orifices and couldn't see.
"The old man's arrow is shocking, and the city gate is broken in response, so you can rest assured." Chen Lihua comforted, looking at the swarthy man beside the old blacksmith.
"My father was already old and exhausted. What's more, he had never fired such a strong bow. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he used the secret method of boiling blood qi, and after this arrow, the blood must be retrograde. Father, he, "a swarthy and heroic man, was crying silently at this time."
"He's running out of time."
The old blacksmith was very calm, panting and laughing: "It is enough for the old man to shoot this arrow before he dies." Your Highness, can you promise one thing? ”
