Chapter 667: The Flying Army Attacks

Yesterday, the battlefield has been cleared after the war, and all kinds of materials for defending the city have been placed in an orderly manner, as long as the personnel are in place, the night army can meet the attack of the coalition forces at any time. At this moment, there was still some time before the arrival of the coalition army, so Zhao Xu asked Lin Xuanzhong and others to properly arrange their troops to ensure that they were fully prepared.

After explaining some key affairs, Zhao Xu ordered Yan Nantian to take some generals to be responsible for the personnel and material arrangements, and he himself and Zhang Daring and other generals went to the main hall of the city tower to discuss the siege of the coalition army. Today's coalition army's behavior is even more surprising than yesterday's, although the time is pressing, as long as someone can put forward an analysis that is beneficial to their side, there is still a need to discuss, so Zhao Xu really wants to figure out why the coalition army is attacking the city again as soon as possible.

Time passed little by little, and after half an hour, a sentry came and reported that the coalition forces would have a quarter of an hour to reach Fancheng. After receiving the news, Lin Xuanzhong and other generals who were responsible for preparing for the battle were nervous again.

The cold wind became more and more cold, and the sound of the wind continued to sound, as if to herald the arrival of a big war. After accompanying Yan Nantian to inspect up and down, the bloodstained city walls and the resolute faces of the soldiers all made Lin Xuanzhong feel a sense of slaughter. Unconsciously, Lin Xuanzhong also entered a state of preparation.

Although he didn't like the feeling before the war, Lin Xuanzhong was not unaccustomed to it, and after a while, Lin Xuanzhong followed Yan Nantian back to the city. I don't know when the first rays of the morning sun have crossed the heavy mountains in the east and shone on the city wall, dispelling a trace of the bitter cold, standing in front of the city tower and looking far south, the marching columns of the coalition army are already visible, and before the coalition army officially arrives, all that can be done now is to wait.

Time passed slowly, and soon, Zhao Xu came out of the hall with all the generals, one by one with a solemn face. In the past time, Zhao Xu and the generals have not been able to discuss the intention of the coalition army to attack the city today, so it is naturally impossible to confirm how the coalition army will attack the city today. Judging from the news reported by the spies outside the city, the coalition forces are in full force today. Such a comprehensive dispatch of troops is no different from yesterday, and even if it is only to pursue this, today's night army must go all out.

It is worth mentioning that the rapid sound of the horn this morning woke up not only the night soldiers in the camp, but also the civilians in Fancheng. After getting the news that the night army was preparing for war early, not long after, Ruan Sihai came over in person to ask for specific news. Like yesterday, Zhao Xu did not let Ruan Sihai enter the camp, but assured Ruan Sihai that he would definitely announce the news at any time.

After getting Zhao Xu's assurance, Ruan Sihai was quite satisfied, although it was a pity that he could not witness the demeanor of the night army with his own eyes, but as long as he could know the battle situation at any time, Ruan Sihai's goal had been achieved. So far, Ruan Sihai has only one way to go, continuing to support the night army.

Due to the uncertainty of whether the coalition forces will attack the city with all their might, unlike yesterday, Zhao Xu deliberately arranged a large number of archers on the city before the battle today to block the enemy's charge. Recently, the coalition army has been busy building siege equipment, and the night army is also not idle, before arriving in Fancheng, Zhao Xu is busy transforming some of the previous equipment, and the ballista in the army is the first ordnance to be transformed.

In the past, ballistas were not only inconvenient to use, but could only fire one arrow at a time, and they were not very effective against fierce beasts. Now, according to Zhao Xu's meaning, those craftsmen need to transform the ballista into a practical weapon that can be used easily and shoot several arrows at a time. In this way, in the future, the ballista can play a great role in dealing with the attacks of all kinds of fierce beasts, which is a change made by Zhao Xu based on the facts after the war with a country like Yiguo that is good at using fierce beasts.

Once those ballistae can be transformed according to Zhao Xu's requirements, the ballistas can also play a great role in blocking the enemy's charge, so those ballistas that are being transformed have not been put into use for the time being.

The flying Night Nation banner was full of night soldiers, and the number of troops in the city was more than double that of yesterday. Even if it is the heavily armored soldiers of the Yang Kingdom who are in charge of the charge today, these archers are enough to inflict a strong resistance on the charging soldiers.

As the red sun rose in the east, more than 400,000 allied troops finally arrived outside the city. As yesterday, the armies of the two countries are divided into two sides, and it is easy to distinguish the camps of the two armies according to the difference in flags and uniforms.

Compared with yesterday, the overall momentum of the coalition army is still so prominent, and the boundless queue is still extremely neat, and there is a huge momentum in front and back. Compared with the coalition formation below, even if Zhao Xu deliberately arranged a large number of archers in the city today, it still seemed insignificant.

Fortunately, yesterday was a victory, and the night army in the city today is no longer as fearful as yesterday in the face of the enemy's numerical superiority. In terms of momentum, the Night Army did not lose to the coalition forces.

"Marshal Shi, Zhao Xu and a group of generals have been waiting for us, presumably they must be very surprised that you and I will bring troops to attack the city again today!" Located at the junction of the two army camps, the two marshals sat side by side on their respective horses, looking at Zhao Xu and others in the city from afar, and there was always an intriguing look on Tie Xin's face.

"No matter how wise Zhao Xu is, I'm afraid it will not be until after today's battle that I can think of your and my intentions of continuously attacking the city. In today's siege of the city, there is Marshal Lao Tie. ”

"Marshal Shi, don't worry, with your ordnance help, Marshal Ben is confident that he will attack the city as soon as possible, and he will definitely let the night army see the strength of both you and me," Tie Xin smiled, and Shi Jiangchuan's words could not be denied. Judging from the content of the conversation between the two, it is obvious that the iron heart is ready to attack the city today.

"Since Marshal Tie is so confident, then Marshal will wait for good news," Shi Jiangchuan smiled, with a majestic look on his face. The night passed, and all the effects caused by yesterday's defeat to the night army seemed to have dissipated, and Shi Jiangchuan became as energetic as he was when he came yesterday.

"Without further ado, Ben Shuai will immediately order an attack," nodding towards Shi Jiangchuan, Tie Xin immediately ordered to one of the main generals next to him, "Attack the city." ”

Not long after, under the command of the commander-in-chief, the column in front of the Flying Army Brigade quickly dispersed forward on the left and right sides of the city tower, and countless soldiers carried long ladders and rushed towards Fancheng to the sound of war drums.

"Rush," shouted the soldiers as they ran, with a very loud voice.

After the enemy came today, without saying a word, the direct attack surprised Zhao Xu and the others, on the city tower, looking at the flying soldiers rolling in, Zhao Xu frowned and immediately gave instructions to Yan Nantian, "Prepare for defense." ”

"Yes," Yan Nantian agreed, and then asked the two heralds to give orders to the archers on both sides. At the same time, the drums of war were also beating in the rear of the night army.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The deep and continuous voice told everyone that a big battle was about to begin.

"What tricks are the enemy playing, and why is it that the army of the Flying Nation is in charge of the siege today?"

"Could it be that the commanders of both of them have agreed to attack each other every other day?"

"General Shi, there is some truth in what you said. ”

"You see, the army of the Yang Kingdom has no intention of attacking, and it is really like the army of the Flying Kingdom yesterday. "Some generals at the city tower saw that only the soldiers of the Flying Kingdom were attacking, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

"Prepare for war quickly," did not answer the words of those generals, seeing that the flying army was getting closer and closer, Zhao Xu directly issued combat instructions. Immediately afterwards, some of the generals who were to be in charge of specific affairs hurried back to their original positions and stood by. In a blink of an eye, there were only three main generals left next to Zhao Xu and a few generals who had no specific affairs.

When Zhao Xu's attention returned to the following situation, Zhao Xu also noticed that the enemy was attacking unilaterally today. To say that the coalition forces may attack the city with all their strength today, the Yang army on the side is unmoved. In the case of unsure of the purpose of the coalition army, it can be said that today is the soldiers of the flying country who want to test the combat power of the night army.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu always felt that things would not be as simple as they seemed, and after continuing to think about it, it was not difficult for Zhao Xu to think that if the flying army could break through his own defense, the coalition army would directly attack the city with all its might. It's just that he has never fought with the Flying Army, and Zhao Xu has no way of judging the combat power of the Flying Army. Due to many uncertain factors, Zhao Xu thought of many questions in a blink of an eye, and finally his thoughts became confused.

"Marshal, what's going on?" When Zhao Xu was thinking about why the enemy came to attack the city again today, a general pointed to the special behavior of the flying army under the city and asked Zhao Xu.

In the next moment, the eyes of Zhao Xu and the other generals all fell on the charging Fei Jun below. I saw those flying soldiers holding the ladders on their heads, and then suddenly from the side shelves of the ladders extended something similar to baffles, the dark blue baffles were connected one by one, glowing with a dazzling cold light in the sun.

The baffles were supposed to be made of metal, but when the baffles were put together, the soldiers under the ladder were completely obscured.

"Ding ding," when Zhao Xu and the other generals tried their best to see what those baffles were, the arrows falling from the sky fell on the baffles one after another, making a sound of metal clashing, and the sound was continuous, sounding like tens of thousands of soldiers fighting fiercely.

After those arrows landed on the baffle, they scattered, whether they were inserted into the baffle or bounced off the baffle, without exception, they could not inflict substantial damage on the flying army hidden below, and only a very small number of bows and arrows shot through the gap in the baffle could affect the very few flying troops.

"It's not good, the enemy's shield can resist the attack of bows and arrows," Seeing that his own shooting didn't work, Yan Nantian suddenly screamed in surprise.
