Chapter 116: Pre-War Preparations (Ask for Collections, Recommendations, and Subscriptions)
"Archer, get ready to shoot"
The three hundred archers who were waiting for the battle quickly dispersed, and quickly ascended to the top of the city in a single row, and they all pulled the longbows they carried behind them into their hands, and the sharp feathered arrows were already on the strings of the arrows, and they would shoot at the onrushing cavalry army at the first order.
"Huh?"
Su Jun's suspicious gaze fell on the city, Ye Liji stood in the most eye-catching position, he was different from the other Anning defenders with shocked faces and nervous expressions, Ye Liji looked indifferent, and turned a blind eye to the Nua cavalry rolling in front of him.
"What a guts!"
Su Jun couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, not to mention how the archery skills were, just with his superior riding skills and this courage, Ye Liji had already surpassed more than ninety percent of the soldiers under his command.
Qulan Town, outside the city gate.
Yi Pheasant Evil slammed his right arm high, and a loud roar resounded through the sky:
"Stop the charge and attack in a roundabout ......"
The sound of the desolate horn sounded leisurely, and the surging Noa cavalry, like a flood blocked by the wall, changed the direction of their advance in an instant, diverted to both sides of the wall, circled a large circle, and returned to the front of the formation. The cunning Noa cavalry did not even leave the longbow guards of tranquility a chance to release their arrows.
On the city wall, Su Jun's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said to the generals around him:
"The Noa cavalry is indeed worthy of its reputation, but it is really difficult enough!"
Li Congqian, who was next to Su Jun, said flatteringly:
"General Zhenbei's eyes are like torches, and he can see the enemy's advantages at a glance, the Noa people's horses and horsemanship are the best among all the northern barbarians, they come and go like the wind, and the places they pass are like locust plagues, but even so, I believe they are by no means the general's opponents."
Behind Su Jun, Yan Qinghua puffed out her cheeks, smiled lightly, and said:
"No matter how powerful they are, they are just a group of brainless beasts, how can they be the opponents of my family Su Ye, and after a while, that group of war horses should change their surname to Su"
A thousand paces away from the military camp, Yi Pheasant slowly reined in his mount, and a small leader of the Nuya tribe came to Yi Pheasant on horseback and said loudly:
"The greatest and most virtuous barbarian king, why don't we trample the peaceful pikemen into pulp with one blow?"
A trace of fierceness flashed on Yi Pheasant's face, and he said dissatisfiedly:
"Kelkel, haven't you noticed that there are already longbowmen ready to attack on the walls of Qulan Town?"
"Huh?" Kekel didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the barbarian king, and looked in the direction of Qulan Town, and sure enough, there was a faint flickering cold glow on the head of Qulan Town, and he couldn't help but change color:
"I didn't expect the border city to send out a part of the longbowmen to support Qulan Town, now we can't deal with it!"
Yi Pheasant said coldly:
"There is nothing difficult to deal with, in addition to the cunning of the people of Anning, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared to ours at all, you have to remember one thing, all conspiracies and tricks will become vulnerable in the face of absolute strength"
Kekel bowed his head and said respectfully:
"What my king has taught is that Noah will regain the light under my king's leadership."
Suddenly, Yi Pheasant's eyes froze, his nose fluttered left and right twice, and he asked Kekel:
"Do you smell something wafting from?"
Kekel also sniffed a few breaths of the fragrance that filled the air, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed:
"I remembered that the sentry who went out to inquire about the news just now said that Anning people were cooking meat in the city to celebrate, and this must be the smell of meat wafting from the city."
As he spoke, Kecker twitched his nose a few more times, and couldn't help but say:
"What kind of meat is this, it's so delicious."
There is not much food in the Nuya Department, although you are a barbarian king, but Yi Pheasant Evil has not tasted the taste of boiled meat for a few days, stimulated by this rich fragrance, a strong sense of hunger hit his heart, and Yi Pheasant Evil swallowed his saliva vigorously.
"Brothers, get ready to rush the carts, and charge with me in a while, the peaceful people in the city are cooking meat, and when you open the city gates, we will have meat to eat."
The voice of the Pheasant Evil seemed to be full of magic, and all the Noa cavalry were like hungry and red-eyed wolves at this time, and under the temptation of food, they rearranged themselves into a formation, and under the leadership of Kekel, they launched a charge against Qulan Town.
The longbowmen at the head of the city were all carefully selected by Su Jun to shoot well, seeing that the Noa cavalry rushed over without fear of death, they shot the feather arrows in their hands at the Noa cavalry array, and at this time, another Yi Pheasant evil scene appeared, and the spearmen standing outside the city threw down their weapons one after another, and fled back to Qulan Town in a hurry.
Yi Pheasant Evil laughed loudly:
"How's it going, kids? As I said, the people of peace will only bluff, and when they are faced with death, they will be as well-behaved as sheep, and before we even enter the city, they will all be scared away by us, brothers, and rush with me......
Noa's cavalry showed extraordinary bravery, charging to a place still two hundred paces away from the city, and they also took their bows and arrows from their backs and fired back, the two sides were deadlocked, and there were casualties on each other, but the Anning guards took advantage of the city wall, condescending, and had some advantages.
Of course, Noa is not at an absolute disadvantage, his archery skills and bows and arrows are superior to the Anning guards, from time to time there are Anning people in the city from the head of the arrow fell from the city, and after a while, hundreds of corpses were piled up under the city, there are Nua people, there are also Anning people.
As time passed, Yi Pheasant gradually felt that the density of the arrows in the city was gradually thinning, and the speed of the arrows shooting at his side was also slowing down, and he couldn't help but shout excitedly:
"Brothers, there are not many arrows in Anning's reserve, everyone work hard, cooperate with the rush to attack the door......"
Time returned to the eve of the Nua cavalry attack on Qulan Town, Su Jun and his generals sat in the council hall, Su Jun was a little distressed and said:
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but what should this shareholder do if the wind has to go?"
Yan Qinghua also frowned and asked:
"What does the east wind mean in Su Ye's mouth?"
"We have a good plan to break the enemy, but there is no place to hide ambushes in Qulan Town"
Yan Qinghua also shook her head helplessly, indicating that there was no way.
"Hidden ambushes? How not? Li Congqian on the side accosted him.
"Where?"
Not to mention Su Jun, even the other people couldn't help but ask in unison with the curiosity in their hearts.
Li Congqian paused and continued: "Of course it's in Qulan Town."
Everyone present wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, even Su Jun felt incredible, his plan was to introduce the Noa cavalry into the city, and then wipe them all out, if the Anning border army was ambushed in the city, wouldn't it be directly exposed to the Noua butcher's knife?
Su Jun raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Congqian suspiciously, and asked in surprise.
"Lord Li, this general has always had clear rewards and punishments, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army."
"This matter is very important, how dare the subordinate talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army?"
