Chapter 471

Several generals understood what Zhao Xu meant, and while thinking that Zhao Xu's idea was very good, they hurriedly separated one by one to take charge of the matter.

"General, is the commander of the enemy army coming?" As soon as the generals left, Yan Nantian pointed to the chariot slowly coming below to remind Zhao Xu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu and several other generals looked down, and sure enough, the commander of the wing army was coming over in a chariot.

"General Zhao, this marshal Ruan Qiling, I came to visit before the war, and when I saw General Zhao today, he was really extraordinary," the chariot stopped thirty meters away from the city gate, and the commander of the wing army slowly got up and greeted Zhao Xu from afar.

"Marshal Ruan is wise and martial, why do you need to ridicule me Zhao Xu?" responded with a smile, Zhao Xu wanted to see the other party's intentions.

"You and I are both commanders of the three armies, although the camps are different, but there is no difference in identity, Ruan Mou saw the demeanor of the general today, it is worth the trip, where is there sarcasm. ”

"Marshal Ruan is polite, Zhao is just a rough person, how can he withstand Marshal Ruan's praise so absurdly. ”

"In that case, Ruan Mou should talk to General Zhao about some serious things first. Ruan Qiling suppressed his smile and said with a straight face: "In the battle the day before yesterday, you and I were equal in casualties. For our army, that little casualty does not affect the overall situation, but it should be a big loss for your night army, so no matter how our army invites to fight in the next few days, General Zhao will not be able to come out. ”

"Our army did have some casualties, but it did not affect the morale of the army, the reason why the general did not go out of the door is to give Marshal Ruan a chance to attack the city, and it is also good to see Marshal Ruan's ability. ”

"General Zhao said the style, I'm afraid that the soldiers of your army don't think so. Ben Shuai heard that because of the interference of our army, many night soldiers were shocked and couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well, so how could they still have the strength to fight. ”

"This doesn't bother Marshal Ruan, our sergeants and soldiers have enough rest, just waiting for Marshal Ruan to lead the troops to fight. The two managers faced each other, and before they could move their troops, there was already a verbal battle. Judging from the current situation, it is clear that there is no winner or loser.

On the chariot, Ruan Qiling stared at Zhao Xu tightly, watching Zhao Xu's every move, this simple temptation was actually just Ruan Qiling wanting to have a head-on conversation with Zhao Xu, now it seems that it is useless to just talk, or to fight.

"In that case, you and I are divided into high and low on the battlefield," he gestured slightly to Zhao Xu, and Ruan Qiling motioned to the driver to drive the chariot back.

As soon as the chariot moved, all the sergeants who were paying attention to the conversation between the two commanders knew that their war was about to begin, and both the night army and the wing army were a little nervous in the face of the upcoming big battle.

After a short time, the chariot returned to its original position, and Ruan Qiling gave the order to go out for the first time. While the drums of war were beating, the flags were waved, and the generals standing in front of the queue began to direct the soldiers to attack.

At the same time, a general in the city came to report. All sixth-order martial cultivators have been prepared. Zhao Xu looked at both sides of the city wall, and sure enough, there were many more commanders in the city, and after confirming that the arrangement was completed, Zhao Xu directly issued instructions to meet the battle.

The drums of war were beating, and on the long walls on both sides of the tower, the archers guarding each battlement were wound up their arrows, waiting for instructions from the generals above. Behind them, in addition to the sixth-order martial cultivators who had just been selected, there were also foot soldiers who were responsible for blocking the Wing Army from climbing the city.

Stones and logs littered the floor, and the once wide walls now had very little room to move around.

In a short time, hundreds of teams dressed in light clothes, holding shields in one hand and ladders in the other, rushed out and quickly ran towards the city wall. As soon as they left the group, the Winged Army of the Day After Tomorrow immediately filled their original position.

There was a rush from the winged army, and not long after, the winged army came into range of the night army.

"Put," the generals who commanded the battle on the city wall immediately gave the order to attack after seeing the big banner waving at the city tower.

"Woohoo," a series of sharp arrows shot out, slicing through their breaths, and flew towards the winged army below. Now the winged army below has no archers to cover, and they can shoot arrows without any scruples.

"General, what's going on?

"I know, leave it alone and let them rush over. Zhao Xu's eyes flashed, and he was quickly guessing the intention of the Wing Army.

The Wing Army sent troops like this, at least it didn't look like an all-out siege, but it seemed like a test, but why the Wing Army wanted to do more, Zhao Xu would be incomprehensible for a while. Of course, Zhao Xu didn't think that the commander of the Wing Army would test the ability of the archers in the city with the lives of those soldiers.

One by one, the winged soldiers fell, their shields light, but too small to protect all their bodies, so they could easily be shot by random arrows. It's just that no matter how many people in a team fall, as long as there are still people alive, they will continue to move forward. There were already several teams under the city that were only a few dozen meters away from the city wall, and seeing that those people were about to run to the city, the archers in the city naturally attacked them even harder.

The wings suffered more and more casualties, but because of their speed, more and more teams managed to run to the city. Those who ran to the city were not in the archers' firing zone, and the general began to warn the soldiers to attack with logs and stones.

"Attack," and at that moment, the winged army beat the drums of war for the second time.

"Knock knock," a drum beat came like thunder in an instant. Immediately afterward, the generals in the city saw the winged army let go of the ropes that bound the beasts, and let them all rush out.

Those sturdy beasts ran several times faster than the soldiers, hundreds of them rushed out at the same time, the scene was indeed a bit amazing, following those fierce beasts, the siege convoy of the wing army quickly moved forward, and one by one the siege vehicles were pushed to the front of the queue.

"Resist the fierce beasts," by this time, Zhao Xu had already understood the intention of the vanguard of the Wing Army, the ladders that were sent over first were not for the soldiers to use to climb the city, but for the fierce beasts to climb the city. I don't know how the Wing Army usually trains these fierce beasts, but right now, Zhao Xu must let people stop these fierce beasts.

"Yes," a herald received the instruction, and immediately conveyed the military order to the standard-bearers on both sides, and then the night army's flag was waved in a different way. At the same time, the people on both sides of Chengqiang who were in charge of commanding the battle directly reminded those sixth-order martial cultivators to prepare to face the fierce beasts.

Most of the fierce beasts below are sixth-order fierce beasts, and their level is comparable to that of the sixth-order martial arts realm, but because of their physical advantages, the combat power of those fierce beasts is stronger than that of ordinary sixth-order martial cultivators, so the sixth-order martial cultivators who are responsible for resisting fierce beasts are not fighting alone.

When those fierce beasts rushed over, the archers in the city aimed their arrows at those fierce beasts, but because the fierce beasts moved too fast, ten arrows were empty, and the remaining arrows could not work at all because of the rough skin and thick flesh of the fierce beasts.

Those fierce beasts ran more and more like fierce hair, and the visual impact on people naturally became more and more fierce. In the case of continuous archery without any effect, the will of the archers in the castle is hit to a certain extent, so that the rate of mistakes is even higher in the future. By the time the beasts had almost run to the city, only a tiny fraction had been killed by the arrows.

"With a ballista," the behavior of the fierce beast was too fierce, and the bow and arrow had little effect, Zhao Xu immediately made a decision when he saw this.

"With ballistas," the two heralds who were waiting on the side hurriedly separated to convey the order.

Immediately after, five or six people were busy in the positions where the ballistas had been set up earlier. While pulling the tendon line, he aimed at the beast, and the crossbow arrows used were more than two meters long, and it looked like the arrows were all made of steel.

With a "whoosh", the crossbow arrow shot out quickly, much faster than the bow and arrow, and the shot was directly inserted into the ground on the ground, the power was by no means something that the beast could bear, but it was also difficult to aim at the moving object with the ballista, and because the arrow speed was very slow, the effect was lower.

"Hmm......" A scream, a fierce beast that was running forward was shot by a crossbow arrow, looking from a distance, the crossbow arrow almost completely penetrated the body of the fierce beast, and after rolling forward for a distance, it was shot by the fierce beast and died directly.

Not long after, several more beasts were hit by ballistas, and some were directly nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows, and the scene looked terrifying. Eventually, however, two-thirds of the beasts ran to the bottom of the city, and then stepped on the long ladder one by one. When you are about to climb to the top of the ladder, you jump straight up, break the beam, and jump to the city.

No matter where the ladder was placed, the beast was moving too fast for the people above to attack, and now the beast jumped up and scared the archers who were guarding the battlement.

At such a close distance, the bows and arrows were completely useless, and in fear, some soldiers tried to draw their swords, but the fierce beasts rushed over and bit them, and then threw the bite with a flick of their heads.

In the screams, the night soldiers were either bitten to death or thrown from the city by fierce beasts. These beasts broke through many obstacles and came to the city, and they were even more ferocious. On the contrary, the archers at the battlements did not stop these fierce beasts so hard that they were naturally psychologically shocked, so that when danger came, they did not have time to react at all.

Those fierce beasts were on a rampage, disrupting many places in the city, ordinary archers and foot soldiers could only choose to dodge, but fortunately, there was a sixth-order martial cultivator in the city who had arranged in advance to deal with the fierce beasts. Zhang Jiutian, Zhang Haoran, Gu Yanran and others are all in the city at the moment, it is the time of the war, no matter what their qualifications are, all they have to do is to carry out military orders.

In terms of strength, each fierce beast is not much different from Zhang Jiutian and them, but because the fierce beasts are not afraid of death, it is still not easy for Zhang Jiutian and them to kill these fierce beasts even if they join forces.

Ding-dong, dozens of places in the city are hot. Zhao Xu and the general paid attention to the situation in the city on the one hand, and the situation under the city on the other, those fierce beasts climbed to the city and rampage, even the ballista destroyed a few of them, and the rolling logs and stones piled up on the side were all confused, so that many night soldiers did not have a place to stand now.

Because there are still many unrelated night troops in the city, Zhang Jiutian and they can't let go of their hands and feet, and in such a situation, they can't solve the problem of fierce beasts in a short period of time.
