Chapter 345: Flames of War
It's over, I'm delaying things again, I see that the situation outside the city is very critical, and the rolling yellow sand makes me no longer see the world outside.
"Xiaoyu, I woke up and called you six or seven times, but this time I was willing to get up." My uncle looked at me coldly, in fact, I can't help myself when I sleep, don't say that I have never slept or not. But now is not the time to argue with my uncle, so let's ask about the situation first.
"Uncle, the enemy is attacking the city, is it sufficient?"
"Almost, the last fortification should be completed soon." The last fortification, was it something I saw that day surrounded by a huge curtain?
"Report to the military division, the urn city has been completed, and it can be used at any time."
Urn City, this thing I know, is a small city to help the main city in defense. It is usually to build a high fortress similar to the main city near the main gate of the main city, and then set up a new gate.
These gates were generally organized, and the enemy had to attack the urn city in order to attack the main city. Usually, it is to lure the enemy deeper, and then activate the mechanism to completely seal off the urn city, so that the enemy inside has nowhere to escape. The rest can be imagined, the soldiers of the Urn City and the main city will flank the enemy who enters the Urn City together, and none of them will be able to escape.
However, I still have some questions, isn't this urn city usually built in the outer area of the main city gate, how did my uncle build the urn city in Qincheng.
"Uncle, why did you build the urn city inside Qincheng, didn't it usually have to be built outside Qincheng?" I asked curiously.
"Heh, you still know this thing, it seems that I still underestimate you." My uncle said this, but I could see the suspicious look in his eyes.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't know how to read, and just because I don't like to learn doesn't mean I haven't read a book. I'm going to be unhappy if you question me like that. "I didn't say it angrily.
"A large number of moats have been built outside this Qin city, and if you want to build an urn city outside, you need to strengthen the foundation, which is too large. At times like these, every minute counts, and we don't have time to go to Lang Fei. ”
"There is another point, Wei Ran has fought for so many years, and he will not be able to break through even a single urn city. If you build the urn castle outside the city, the enemy will directly discover the existence of the urn castle, but if it is built inside the city, you can take the enemy by surprise, do you understand? ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, but I still understood the general meaning. Soon we reached the upper part of the gate, where we could see the urn castle surrounded by a curtain behind it.
"Come on, put down the curtain." As soon as my uncle came, the curtains dozens of meters high fell one after another, and this scene was really spectacular. This main city is almost fifty meters high, and this urn city is four or five meters shorter than the main city. The main city and the urn city are connected by a downward staircase, and soldiers have already begun to set up their defenses.
The urn city is just behind the main gate of the main city, it is a small square city, and the diameter of the maintenance is almost 200 meters, which is really not small. There are three smaller gates at the bottom as entrances and exits. But why open three doors, it shouldn't be good for defense.
"Uncle, what are you doing with so many doors, this shouldn't be conducive to defense." I asked curiously.
"Well, you see the big tents in the city, that's why I opened so many doors." The tent, I don't even know what it is.
"Uncle, what's in the tent?"
"Well, you'll know when you use it, but I still hope I don't need anything here." My uncle seems to be in a dilemma, I really don't know what he's talking about.
"Report to the military division, the enemy army is less than two miles away from Qincheng." It's over, it looks like the enemy is about to attack us.
"Okay, I'll go over and see where the city lord is."
"Back to the military division, the city lord is still checking the defense of the east gate, west gate, and north gate, and he should come over soon." It turned out that Qin Wu was still inspecting the defense.
"Okay, tell the crossbowmen to prepare their defenses, let the enemy release their arrows first, and everyone must hide. Wait until after the first attack before counterattacking. "My uncle is very good at commanding, and we, as the defenders of the city, face more than ten times more enemies than us, and now we can only defend carefully.
I watched as my uncle gave the order, and a large number of crossbowmen had already put their arrows on the strings and were ready to attack at any time. I see that those crossbow arrows are tied with charms, it seems that these are all prepared by my uncle to deal with werewolves.
"Deshui, what's the situation now?"
At this time, Qin Wu had already inspected the entire city and returned to the south gate. I looked at him, he was dressed in black armor that seemed to be made entirely of metal. Pieces of armor were sewn together, and I saw that there was a weight of dozens of catties. This is also Qin Wu, otherwise who can wear this thing.
However, he didn't carry his usual sword, so he didn't even have a weapon with him now. I made another round of the rounds and found that one of his attendants was helping him carry a sword. I don't have to be so pretentious, I feel like we're getting farther and farther apart.
"City Lord, the enemy is already within the design range of the bow and crossbow, I plan to let them attack first, and then wait for them to get closer before counterattacking, what do you think." Qin Wu nodded.
"Very good, I am very relieved of your strategy, how is the soldier's defense." Qin Wu asked again.
"Well, look here." The soldiers at the back brought a large number of planks from the side of the city wall, which were very thick and covered with a layer of tweed. Is this my uncle's defense, it's really strange.
"Let's go, let's get close to the city tower, or I'll be careful to become a hedgehog in a while." My uncle led us into the tower, and the soldiers outside were already hiding behind the battlements, ready to defend.
When we entered the castle tower, the doors and windows were also sealed with iron-clad wooden boards, and I felt that the room was not breathable.
"City Lord, Military Division, the enemy is less than three hundred meters away from us." I didn't expect the enemy to advance so fast.
"Okay, all prepare for defense and close the tower." After a loud sound of Karakala, all doors and windows were sealed.
"Uncle, you have closed the doors and windows now, and you can't know the situation outside." My uncle pointed to a bright spot on the wall, and when I walked over it, it was a shutter made of steel. When I put my head out, I realized that I could see the situation outside the city.
Suddenly, I heard what sounded like a locust flying, what was the movement, and not only that, but I felt that the light outside was gone, so it couldn't be dark.
"Uncle, what's going on outside?" I don't think that's a good sign.
"Xiaoyu, come back quickly, be careful of the arrow."
Hit the arrow, and before I could figure it out, the shutters seemed to be hit by hail, making a crackling sound. Oh my god, what is this, I instinctively jumped a few steps back.
I looked back at where I had been standing, and there were several arrows that had already pierced the blinds.
