Chapter 670: The Flying Army Retreats

"Earlier, the enemy archers stopped attacking, and now General Yan has mobilized reinforcements. If nothing else, our army should be able to defeat the enemy as soon as possible as yesterday," Li Jianran replied, as the commander of the infantry battalion, Li Jianran was also very surprised by the series of methods used by the flying army today. It can be said that Li Jianran never thought that the previous situation would occur earlier.

In Li Jianran's opinion, even if the enemy army has a certain amount of experience in attacking the city, it will not attack the city wall so quickly today. After all, the night army is not an ordinary army, and the more Li Jianran thinks about it, the more incredible he feels. Unconsciously, Li Jianran also had a new understanding of the abilities of the two coalition commanders.

"Pass on our military order, be sure to crush the enemy's offensive as soon as possible, so as not to affect the morale of the whole army," Zhao Xu did not have the slightest doubt about the elite combat power of the night army. However, the situation has developed to this situation, and Zhao Xu also knows very well that the longer he is entangled with the enemy, the more unfavorable it will be for his side.

"Yes," Li Jianran agreed, and immediately went out to give the order in person.

Not long after, Li Jianran brought Zhao Xu's military order to Yan Nantian. At the city tower, Yan Nantian was thinking about how to deal with the archers of the enemy army. Since the two armies fought in the city, the tens of thousands of archers under the city have never left, one by one, waiting for the battle, obviously the enemy army must have other purposes in sending tens of thousands of archers to assist in the siege of the city at a time.

Based on the battle with the Yang army yesterday, it was not difficult for Yan Nantian to think that once his side cleared all the enemy troops in the city, I was afraid that those archers would attack again. The previous enemy used archers to shoot his own reinforcements had already made Yan Nantian see the advantages of the flying army's good shooting, and now think about it, once there are no more enemy troops in the city, I am afraid that his own soldiers will be shot by the enemy again when they have no way to dodge.

Considering the threat of enemy archers, although he was in a hurry to carry out Zhao Xu's latest instructions, before that, Yan Nantian still had to think of a safe way.

While paying attention to the fighting on both sides of the castle tower, he also reflected on the past battles. It didn't take long for Yan Nantian to think of Lin Xuanzhong being made a general by Zhao Xu. On that day, after the Wing Army was defeated from the city, because of the structural characteristics of the walls of the Windless City, the situation of tens of thousands of night troops was extremely grim. But at the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong thought of a practical countermeasure to help tens of thousands of soldiers survive the crisis.

If he had to face a similar situation today, it would not be difficult for Yan Nantian to think that his side could use the same method to use the corpses of the enemy soldiers as shields, so that no matter how many night troops there were in the city, they would no longer have to worry about the other party attacking with bows and arrows. After thinking of this, Yan Nantian directly put his mind at ease, and immediately ordered the soldiers on both sides to speed up the battle and clear the enemy troops in the city as soon as possible.

"Marshal Tie, there seems to be something wrong with the situation in the city," Yan Nantian had just given the order, and Shi Jiangchuan under the city noticed an abnormal situation. Without waiting for Tiexin to answer, Shi Jiangchuan continued: "It stands to reason that the strength of the flying army in the city should far exceed that of the night army, why hasn't the banner of the night army fallen, and the combat area is still on the city wall, shouldn't the flying army attack the city?"

The city was full of soldiers, and Shi Jiangchuan noticed that people kept falling. But even if there are people on the Flying Army's side who continue to climb the city, it seems that the battlefield is still on the long city wall. After some consideration, Shi Jiangchuan felt more and more that the situation was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Iron Heart had been waiting for the general under the city to come and report that they had taken the city wall, but he had not waited for anyone. Thinking that their flying army had already attacked the city in large numbers, but now the main general who was in charge of commanding the battle had not come over for a long time, a trace of doubt flashed in Tie Xin's eyes, and then he asked Shi Jiangchuan rhetorically.

"There seem to be more night soldiers in the city than you," probably because many of the soldiers' armor had been stained red with blood, and Shi Sanchuan couldn't confirm the identity of the soldiers above, so he didn't answer in an affirmative tone.

"General Lin, you go to the city and ask General Wan what the situation is in the city now," following Shi Jiangchuan's point, Tie Xin noticed that people kept waving weapons in the city, and people kept falling, but because he couldn't see clearly enough, Tie Xin had to ask a waiting general to go over and check it.

"Yes," the general surnamed Lin agreed, and then rode over.

"General Wan, the marshal ordered me to come over and ask you what the situation is in the city now," Not long after, the general surnamed Lin had already ridden to the front of the general surnamed Wan, who was commanding the battle.

"Of course, our army has the advantage," Since the soldiers of the arrow battalion could not help for the time being, the general surnamed Wan was moving back and forth under the city at the moment to urge the soldiers below to enter the city.

"Ah," General Wan had just finished speaking, when a wounded flying soldier fell from their heads.

"What's going on?" After confirming that it was his own soldier who fell, General Wan pulled the reins, and instead asked General Lin first.

"General Wan, this ......" General Lin looked embarrassed when he was asked, and finally could only point to the corpse that fell to the ground and continued: "This should be the corpse of our soldiers." ”

As soon as General Lin finished speaking, a large number of injured flying soldiers flew down from above, and one after another screamed from the fall.

"General Wan, the enemy's combat strength is too strong, our army has suffered countless casualties, and now it is impossible to enter the city normally," when the two generals were puzzled, a flying army general jumped directly from the city to the two of them to report the situation to General Wan.

"What?" Looking at the embarrassed subordinates in front of him, the general surnamed Wan exclaimed in surprise, and then asked the general who reported the news in surprise and anger: "Why did you say it now?"

"Please forgive the general, I can't get out of the enemy general's entanglement," under the questioning of the general surnamed Wan, the ordinary general immediately knelt down and explained.

"Are you all entangled by enemy generals?" The man's explanation made the general surnamed Wan more and more angry, and in a fit of anger, the general surnamed Wan asked again.

"Returning to the general, when the last general came down, the city was full of night troops, and there were only a few places where there were still battles, and I am afraid that the other generals would have been more than lucky," although he was not sure about his own speculation, the general still expressed his opinion.

"What?" the general exclaimed again, almost unable to believe his subordinates' explanations. It didn't take long for them to attack the city wall, but the number of flying troops on the way up had exceeded 10,000, and the general surnamed Wan really couldn't imagine that so many of his own soldiers had died on the city.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

......

While he was talking, some of the flying troops who were just about to climb the city wall were forked down by the night army. Just because some of the night soldiers in the city couldn't grab the position in front of them, they couldn't attack the flying troops who landed in the city, so they had to put down their weapons one by one, and then turned out stones and logs from under the corpses and threw them under the city. Some people also grabbed something and threw it underneath because they couldn't find something like a rock or a log.

A large number of flying troops under the city gathered together, and the falling stones, logs, corpses, and various weapons and other things smashed the flying troops below were killed and wounded. For a time, the flying army under the city was in chaos.

"Quickly retreat," Seeing that there were things thrown down by the night army everywhere above, the general surnamed Wan was shocked and thought that there were no more of their soldiers in the city, so the enemy army could throw all kinds of things down unscrupulously. Frightened, the general surnamed Wan couldn't think about it and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"Retreat," The next time, some of the flying generals ran and moved, shouting back and forth for the flying army under the city to retreat. After receiving the instructions from above, the flying troops who were originally busy dodging the things flying from the city were pardoned one by one, and many of them did not even rush to the area away from the city walls with their weapons.

Although many of the flying troops did not know what the situation in the city was now, they had to evacuate as soon as possible so that they would not be hit by the falling objects above. The panic spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the only thought left in the minds of the Fei Jun who was still alive under the city was the idea of fleeing for their lives.

At the same time, the archers of those flying armies were ready to attack according to the instructions of the general above. Before they could give specific instructions, the night army on the edge of the city wall had stopped attacking and stood there one by one with their weapons in hand.

Looking at the flying army fleeing in all directions below, there was a lofty momentum in the eyes of these night soldiers, and they didn't take the flying army below in their eyes at all, even those archers who lined up neatly. Standing on the corpses of the enemy, their figures appear incomparably tall.

It didn't take long for all the flying troops under the city to move normally had fled, leaving only some seriously injured people crawling pathetically forward, one by one weakly calling for help from their companions who had run away in front of them, but unfortunately no one would come back to save them. Not long ago, the morale of the flying army was still high, but now looking at the soldiers who charged, one by one they have lost their dignity as soldiers.

"Let the men below prepare to guard against enemy archers," as soon as the enemy army withdraws, the overall situation has been decided, and now the only place to deal with is the archers who may attack at any time. Yan Nantian had already thought of a way to deal with it earlier, but now he was simply passing on the instructions.

It didn't take long for the night troops on both sides of the tower to receive instructions. If the enemy archers attack again, the corpses of the enemy at their feet are the best shield. Speaking of which, after a fierce battle, the night army with the intent to kill is not afraid of the enemy's bow and arrow attacks, but they must obey the instructions from above.

"Shoot the arrows," not surprisingly, after the flying army faced a big defeat in the blink of an eye, the general surnamed Wan still gave instructions to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Countless arrows formed a black curtain and flew towards the night army on the city wall of several hundred meters. At the same time, the night army of the city wall had also lifted the corpses of the enemy soldiers they had grabbed from the ground. After a rain of arrows fell, the night army hiding under the corpse was unscathed, but there were more blood stains on their bodies. When they put down the corpse they were holding, all they had in their eyes was contempt for the flying army.
