Chapter 369: Night Attack on Flying Sand City
At dawn, the gates of Haven City were secretly opened, and then the recruited "refugees defending the city" set up to guard against the counterattack of the prodigal son of the Western Regions and the demon dragoon. Three torches were lit from the top of the city, which was to send the news to the brigade outside the city that the city gate had been successfully taken.
The changes in the city gate naturally could not escape the attention of the demon dragoon on the watchtower in the city, and immediately, the whistle was raised into the air.
With the launch of this whistle, several whistles were also raised to warn the air, which heralded the beginning of the war.
The elite of Flying Sand City at the city gate is naturally not all of the Flying Sand Army in the city, and the other scattered ones have also begun to ignite people's houses everywhere in the city and create chaos. Naturally, this was to be expected.
In the school field of the City Lord's Mansion, teams of demon dragoons began to assemble, and the prodigal sons of the Western Regions were a little slower, but they were also much faster than many forces in the Western Regions, which was also influenced by these Dasheng soldiers. Waiting for the end of the day is not an empty word.
The chaos in the city did not confuse the assembled demon dragoons, they lined up in an orderly manner, and then lined up on the main road to guard the city lord's mansion with five hundred people, and the remaining one thousand, some on horseback, dragging carts, which were full of thorns and wooden barriers. Others, pushing heavy water wheels onto the main road, are naturally not water, but full of oil.
The Flying Sand elites who occupied the city gate thought that those sergeants and the prodigal sons of the Western Regions would come back to counterattack and try to retake the city gate, but they were disappointed, and it seemed that there was no group of soldiers marching towards them. It's just that it didn't pass through every street and alley like a mountain of water, and gave priority to exterminating those who set fire and robbed while the fire was burning.
"The two armies fought, and the people closed their homes. "Similar to the previous time, after filling some boxes with thorny barricades, a group of people shouted slogans all the way to the next junction.
The elite of the Flying Sand Army guarding the city gate are a little confused, they don't understand what these Dasheng people are doing, but we have opened the city gate! We are about to come in! We have entered the city, but we are going to kill and rob all kinds of evil! Why are you so slow to fight back?
It's not just the elite of the Flying Sand Army who can't figure it out, but also those prodigal sons of the Western Regions.
All along, Dasheng's army has been doing all sorts of things that they seem useless, building tall guard towers, and they also feel that they can serve as an alarm. But what do those thorn vines do? Animals don't eat them. What do those waterwheels do? Are there any use for supply waterwheels? It's better to make huge water bladders out of the skins of animals.
I don't understand, but I can pretend to understand, they pretended to be very good, and they didn't lose the face of the prodigal son of the Western Regions, especially if they didn't ask, it was even more unfathomable, and they wouldn't lose the face of their boss, the current city lord of Haven City.
So, when the middle-aged bearded man entered the city with more than 7,000 main forces, the battle that made their jaws drop began.
The middle-aged bearded man still had a plan to capture Haven City, and they didn't expect that Zhou Zhe would fall into a place of death and fight them in a street fight. You must know that 2,000 people were surrounded by 8,000 people in the city, it was not a joke, once the war reached a stalemate, it was very likely to become a siege.
In the bearded man's plan, the first thing he did was to seize the gates, so that those who didn't have time to run would not be able to run away, and if they couldn't run away, they would have to leave their wealth as money to buy their lives, but he would never forget the armor and delicate weapons that depicted the skeletal dragon. I still thought in my heart that when I went back, I would also engrave a sign on the chest of the armor of the Flying Sand Army to make a hump in the Western Regions, which was old and domineering.
When he entered the city, the bearded man first sent 1,500 men to capture the gates, and they went straight to the city lord's mansion.
He was a little frightened at the thought of those difficult opponents in the City Lord's Mansion, but surrounded by his elite warriors and brothers who started together, he was a little bold. But I also understood that my beard seemed to be too conspicuous, so I cut off some while walking, which looked more natural.
The other people who attacked and found the city gate took the branch road, rode horses all the way, and swarmed over, and did not encounter any enemies along the way, but looked at the thorns at the mouth of the alley with some curiosity.
"Whoosh!" At the mouth of an alley without thorns, as they passed, a group of demon dragoons hidden behind the wall suddenly appeared, and immediately, several deadly arrows shot at their necks, and suddenly, the people fell to the ground on their backs.
When the people who followed him saw that their own people were attacked, they shouted even if they wanted to chase after them
"We're going to the south gate, and leave them alone. ”
Think no one can find out if you're hiding in the team?
There are many good players on the watchtower, Wei Lan, Liu Dabeard, Liang Yu, and Shi Yan are all sitting on the four main watchtowers.
Immediately, a sharp arrow followed the sound.
"Ding!"
The distance of the sharp arrow was too far, and it was still blocked with a knife, and Liang Yu, who missed the shot, was a little discouraged, and he was still a little worse when he heard the argument. And the leader of the five hundred people was frightened into a cold sweat, and the tiger's mouth with the knife hand was even more shocked and lost his senses.
"That's a lot of effort. ”
Tianqingli is really not covered.
Knowing that it is powerful, the thief leader no longer commands loudly, it is a fluke to be able to block this arrow, who knows where there are people in ambush except for the high guard tower. I can only rush forward with my men.
On the road, countless intersections are full of thorny roadblocks, and those without roadblocks often shoot a few arrows to take the lives of several people, and the speed of the whole team seems to have slowed down, everyone is on the embankment, and the next intersection, will there be an ambush, will it be just a roadblock. Now they desperately want the mouth of the alley with barricades, at least there is no ambush.
The situation on the side road was quickly reported to the bearded man, who ambushed them in the alley. So isn't it time to delay the attack on the city gate, and won't a lot of fat sheep run away at that time?
So, a lot of elites who had already figured out the terrain of the alley were dispatched as captains, and they marched into the alley with thousands of people, with the goal of exterminating those who were in ambush.
The elite of the flying sand who led the team soon had a headache, and many alleys were blocked by a lot of thorns and vines wrapped in wood. It's a waste of time, I looked around, and there are still some intersections that are not blocked.
"Let's go, go this way in!"
"Whoosh!"
Just shouted. An arrow shot out of the alley and killed him. The others immediately gasped, and the place where the arrow was inserted was the imprinted neck.
The captain of a squad fell, and the next one took over, and he didn't speak anymore, risking his waist and leading people forward. Cavalry, infantry mixed together and the sound was noisy.
Complex terrain is often the real strength of a team.
At this moment, there are not a few flying sand troops mixed into the alleys, but after the numerical advantage is divided, it does not exist.
In an alley, surrounded by a pitch black patch, there are several intersections. I thought it was a road where no one was headed. But the hundreds of people who were in the middle of the box didn't understand what was going on.
"Jump, jump!boom!" The sound of countless short # crossbows sounded, and immediately, arrows hit like a curtain of rain.
It was not a complete long-range strike, and after the arrows, it was as if the demon dragoon soldiers were coming up from all directions, slashing with swords and bayonets.
The elite of the leader was stunned, and before he even had time to shout anything, he fell softly, his strength, he was fourth-order, and he couldn't bear those swords that broke the seventh-order. The peerless learning is even worse than those demon dragoon captains who are responsible for judging virtue and being unlearned. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction blow.
The little chieftains, who were heading towards the gates, walked along the side roads, and as the reinforcements entered the lanes, they were soon in no more danger. But trouble also followed, and the road ahead was blocked. Dense thorn-covered wood was scattered on the road, and not far away, there was a carriage.
It is self-evident who did it.
Naturally, there are people in the crowd who are familiar with the terrain. Then he shouted
"Go down the alley, go around. ”
I don't have a choice, I can't turn back! I can only follow and take a detour from the alley.
The alleys in several areas seemed to have encountered the same situation, and the unlucky leaders were all killed directly, after all, Wei Lan's arrows and Shi Yan's stones were much better than Liang Yu's head. The obstruction of the border army did not affect the advance of the Flying Sand Army on the main road, and the horse's hooves rumbled all the way, but they approached the city lord's mansion without encountering any obstacles.
. But on the main road outside the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Rui had already taken five hundred people and formed a formation at this moment. First of all, there is the board car in front of you, and the thorny roadblocks are placed irregularly. Then came the battle of spears and crossbows. Next to it, it is still the prodigal sons of the Western Regions who are preparing for war.
Naturally, it was not the bearded man who walked in front, but the leader of the teams. The road was blocked by roadblocks, so naturally they had to dismount and rush, but they couldn't rush through, and the city itself was not a place for cavalry to give full play to their advantages. Before the big formation, the cavalry dismounted.
How can Wang Rui give you such calmness, with a wave of his big hand, he immediately hit him with a puff of arrows, killing and wounding.
The follow-up people saw it, and they were helpless, so they dismounted from a distance and began to wait in formation.
The equipment of the Flying Sand Army is very poor, most of them are long knives and round shields, perhaps, they can still exert some power on the horse with their speed, but if they don't have a speed advantage, it is impossible to even leave traces on the armor of the Demon Dragon Rider. And most importantly, the bow, most of them are short bows similar to those of the prodigal sons of the Western Regions. They hurt each other about the same, and the shield array of the Demon Dragon Rider was almost like heavy rain.
The bearded man was very depressed, and he drove to the city lord's mansion, and he didn't let him take revenge on the city lord's mansion last time, so he had to disgust him here.
"Attack. Move the barricades for me first. ”
The order was issued, and the elite of the rear army began to advance with the cannon fodder army in front, with the round shield in hand, and the movements were neat one by one, although the thorns had thorns, but they were not tight, and they also had the native methods of the people of the Western Regions, wool gloves.
Wang Rui's arrow did not slow down, after all, people's physical strength is limited, even if it is the lowest fourth-order demon dragon rider. He was waiting, waiting for a golden opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy on a large scale.
Where's the opportunity? The opportunity for them to clear the thorns and pile them together on the side of the road.
