Chapter 473

When the wings attack, many of the night troops can't do anything, and they are always on the lookout, and their morale will naturally be weakened because of this. Fortunately, after the ballistae were reset, the few remaining ballistae had destroyed most of the siege vehicles and injured many wing troops.

There weren't many turrets left above, and few siege engines below were still usable. The time to attack the city had come, and Ruan Qiling gave an order, and the infantry in front of the wing army formation, one by one, held round shields and ran towards the city.

Hundreds of columns seemed to have countless personnel, and at the same time, the winged archers who had just experienced a stone rain blow and were hiding behind the city wall, under the instructions of the general above, carefully showed their heads one by one, and after confirming that the winged army no longer used siege vehicles, they took off the bows and arrows they were carrying and aimed directly at the winged army below.

When the winged army ran within range, a series of sharp arrows shot straight at the winged army below. There are too many winged soldiers, and many of them seem to have an impact on people. Time was pressing, and the archers of the Night Army kept firing their arrows, and there was no need to aim at all.

"Ah," the arrows fell to the ground, wounded or killed, and more arrows landed on the shields held by the winged soldiers, and the "clanging" rang out.

The Night Army kept shooting arrows, but it seemed that the Winged Army had never diminished, so the archers all looked nervous. The infantry standing behind them was equally nervous, and the winged force was so strong that there was a sense of unstoppability, which worried them.

Because of the disturbance of those fierce beasts just now, the city that was originally neatly arranged was a little embarrassed, and some night soldiers didn't even have a place to stand. Now while guarding the lower wing army from coming up, while packing up things, the night army is a little flustered. The psychological impact of the Wing Army on the Night Army a few days ago has not completely disappeared, and now because of the fear of the Wing Army, it is naturally difficult for the Night Army to maintain a strong morale.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the generals in the city are also not much better, and their faces are serious. The Wings' attacks were a little more fierce than they thought, and it was a question of whether the night army in the city could stop the Wings.

Not long after, the winged army ran to the bottom of the city, one by one the ladders leaned against the wall, and one by one the winged army climbed up one after another. No matter how many stones or how many rolling logs the night army above throws down, there are still winged troops who can climb up. Once a winged army comes up to interfere, the archers in that position cannot continue to attack, and they can only continue to shoot at the winged army below if they kill the winged army that rushes up.

There were more and more winged troops coming up, and one by one the archers threw away their bows and arrows, picked up their weapons and directly confronted the winged troops who came up.

Those winged troops who climbed to the city were not all low-level martial cultivators, but also mixed with officers of the winged army, and they naturally came up to inflict a greater blow on the night army and create convenience for the winged army below to come up.

There were also many officers in the night army in the city, and their real target was the winged army officers who had mixed in. If they are not stopped, there will be many places in the city that will be lost.

Now there are a lot of night troops in the city, and the officers of the wing army can kill the night army with their hands and feet after they come up, causing chaos on a large scale, causing the night army to be unable to defend normally, and there are naturally more and more wing troops coming up. I don't know if it's because the ability of the Wing Army is too strong, or the morale of the Night Army is too weak, although there are so many items in the city to block the Wing Army from climbing the city, there are still more and more Wing Army coming up.

Not long after, many parts of the city were lost, and the winged army and the night army fought each other.

Earlier, Zhao Xu had withdrawn to the city with some generals, and the big account in the rear of the army was settled. Soldiers kept coming in to report the news and convey the battle situation to Zhao Xu.

After receiving the news that the winged army had gone to the city in large numbers, and calculating the time, Zhao Xu felt that the speed of the winged army attacking the city was too fast. It is not difficult to think that there were not many casualties among the wings during the charge, and the bravery of the wings was somewhat unexpected.

With a frowning brow, he asked the soldiers who gave the order to go out, and then Zhao Xu quietly considered the current situation, and there were still some generals on standby in the account. They didn't think there was anything wrong with the Wingers rushing too fast, because they thought that the Night Army would be able to stop the Wings.

It's just that Zhao Xu's reaction after receiving the military information made them wonder, and they didn't know what Zhao Xu thought.

Zhao Xu also didn't think about what the generals below were thinking at the moment, and analyzed the current situation, Zhao Xu found that the wing army first used fierce beasts and then siege vehicles, in fact, the purpose was not to kill how many night soldiers, but to hit the morale of the night army.

The use of fierce beasts to attack can be said to be unexpected, and then the use of siege vehicles to attack the city is even more irresistible to the night army, and the two blows have a great effect on destroying the morale of the night army, so this is the main reason why the wing army can fight, not that the wing army is really brave.

Now there are less than 10,000 defenders in the city, but there are tens of thousands of troops in the city who can support them at any time. Compared with the Wing Army, the main advantage of the Night Army is that the Wing Army's strength in the city is always limited, but the Night Army can guarantee enough troops, but fighting with the Wing Army in the city does not bring hope of victory, so what Zhao Xu wants now is a way to defeat the Wing Army, but he has no clue in this regard at the moment.

There is the army of the Wing Country in front, and there are many wavering city residents in the Snow Country behind, and the news of the secret contact of those local forces has already been discovered by the Night Army, and Zhao Xu has already discussed this issue with the generals. After the two armies actually fought, this problem became a difficult problem to ignore, and Zhao Xu gradually had a feeling of disregard. All of a sudden, the night army's retreat seemed to be gone.

"Knock," an unusually heavy sound came, and not long after, a soldier came in and announced, "General, the enemy army is attacking the city gates. ”

Unlike the city gates that were blocked by the Snow Army when they were guarding Xilan Pass, there are only a few pillars behind the gates of Winless City now. As soon as the city gate is broken, the wing army can rush in smoothly, and when the time comes, the upper and lower attacks at the same time, it is difficult for the night army to resist the edge of the wing army, so the city gate must not be breached before considering the way to defeat the wing army. So, Zhao Xu immediately ordered the city gate to be reinforced.

Even if the city gates are blocked, not a single winged army can be allowed to enter at the moment.

"General. If we block the city gate, how can we fight when the enemy retreats?" Zhao Xu's order puzzled the generals below, and one of the generals immediately asked out loud.

"Before the situation in the city improves, the city gate must not be breached by the enemy, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable," Zhao Xu did not explain much, but simply said his own opinion.

"General, the Wing Army has only attacked our city, and there is no tendency to defeat our army, will the General be so cautious?" another general asked, puzzled.

"Ben Jiang has his own reasons, you can just act according to orders," Zhao Xu didn't have time to tell his worries to the generals below, so he could only deal with it as the commander of the department.

"Yes," the general below agreed, not daring to question.

"Report, there are more and more winged troops in the city, and our army has suffered heavy casualties," not long after, another herald came in to report the news.

"Is the Wing Army so powerful?" Before Zhao Xu could speak, the next general had already opened his mouth to ask first.

"The winged army is not afraid of death, and it is extremely fierce, and it is difficult for our army to fight," and did not dare to slack off, and the herald hurriedly said what the general of the city wanted him to bring.

"Strange, is the Wing Army really so powerful?" Seeing that the herald officers and soldiers said that the Wing Army was extremely brave, the general who asked just now had even more doubts on his face.

"It's not that the wing army is powerful, it's that our army is now demoralized and difficult to exert its combat strength," the situation described by the herald made Zhao Xu confirm the possibility that he had originally thought that the night army was now demoralized.

In Zhao Xu's opinion, it is true that the wing army is well-trained, but after all, the wing army is the first time to participate in a real war, and it is impossible for all the soldiers to be extremely brave, not to mention that they are still facing a night army that has never suffered defeat. Then the only explanation is that the morale of the night army is low, so it is difficult to defeat the wing army.

Linked to the problem that Zhao Xu had just considered, Zhao Xu realized more and more clearly that the siege methods in front of the wing army were only to demoralize the night army, so that the night army could not fight with all its strength.

Ruan Qiling's approach reversed the morale of the two armies, and the night army in the city would be defeated so quickly, and if it continued like this, it would inevitably affect the other night armies, and the situation in the city was a problem that urgently needed to be solved at hand, and it could not be delayed for a moment.

"General, how can the morale of our army not be comparable to that of the enemy army, it can't be that those wing troops are really not afraid of death, right?" Zhao Xu's explanation obviously couldn't convince the public, so there was a general below who asked.

"General Shi, at the critical moment, how can you be arrogant, do you think that our army can't defeat the enemy?"

"No, I just don't understand. Questioned by another general, the general surnamed Shi was a little embarrassed, and immediately defended himself.

"General, in your opinion, what should our army do?" The situation was urgent, and the generals below were still anxious to ask Zhao Xu for advice.

"Pass my military order, let the defenders of the city desperately defend the city wall, and not let a wing army come down," said Zhao Xu's face softened, and his face showed a look of not being angry and arrogant, "Ben will need a little time to think about how to defeat the already wing army."

"Yes," the herald below received the order, and after agreeing, he withdrew directly from the big tent.

Now that the two armies have not been fighting for a long time, the situation on the battlefield is changeable, Zhao Xu knows that the current situation cannot dominate the victory or defeat of the war, but Zhao Xu knows that their night army should show some real skills.

On the city wall, the night army and the winged army are inseparable, and the winged army constantly climbs the ladder to come up. Without the obstruction of the night army, the wing army only consumed a little physical strength when climbing the ladder, and did not need to worry about being attacked by rolling logs and stones, half of the things prepared by the night army to defend the city were useless, and they were piled up on the wall several meters wide and took up a lot of space, of course, it had an impact on both armies.
