Volume 1 Dongyu Fengyun Chapter 173 Thunder and Arrow Danger
"Kill! Archer cover, rush to the city for me to kill all these Silver Moon Dogs!" Seeing that the seventh siege was about to be defeated, Li Ling's eyes widened angrily, and he gave an order in his throat.
However, no matter how angry he was, the 10,000 siege troops still achieved nothing, and before they could even erect the city walls, they were killed and injured by the indiscriminate arrows of the defenders.
As far as the eye can see, there are regular soldiers in armor, men in cloth clothes, and even some old men and young children are also running between the city walls to transport arrows and fire, and the same enemy is bound to block the Yingzhou army under the city wall.
"Damn, waste, come again! Send another 10,000 infantry to attack!" Li Ling held back his anger and surged straight to his head, at this moment he had already lost his mind, only thinking about attacking as always, and taking this small city of Yanxing at any cost.
"General, general, don't let the soldiers attack again, if you continue like this, it will have no effect except for increasing casualties. At this time, a young general with injuries on his body grabbed Li Ling's war horse, knelt on the ground with a plop, and shouted with tears streaming down his face.
"Get out of here, since you are defeated, you still have the face to come back alive! Why don't you die under the city! If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will take your life." Li Ling, who was carried away by anger, was like a mad dog, indiscriminately seeing who bites whom.
"General, I beg you, don't let your brothers die in vain. In the face of Li Ling's threat of death, this young general did not have any fear, after all, the death and wounding of his brother had long since collapsed, and now he was completely disillusioned and did not want to live in the world anymore, so for such a person who is not afraid of death, he will not be afraid of the threat of death at all. He still grabbed Li Ling's reins and tried his best to prevent Li Ling from giving orders.
"Looking for death!" Li Ling, who was red-eyed, would still care about his life or death. With that, he pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed at the neck of the young general below.
There was a crisp sound, and Li Ling's saber was bounced away, and the person who stopped him was also shocked by this blow, and the long sword came out of his hand and fell to the ground.
"General, generals can't, killing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, please think twice. Li Ling's deputy general, Shen Quan, knelt on one knee and protected the little general behind him.
"You, are you the opposite!" Li Ling said angrily.
"General, our army's strong attack has been frustrated, and it may not be impossible to outwit it. Shen Quan lowered his head and said in his throat, a trace of blood also flowed from his mouth, presumably the blow he blocked Li Ling just now had already broken his heart.
"Tell me how to outwit!"
"General, have you forgotten to run the thunder arrows?"
It turned out that in the days when Xiao Yu joined the army, he studied black powder mixed with saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal according to what he learned on the earth, and made a thunderbolt that could produce a violent explosion. When he showed Xiao Yun the power of this "invention" outside the barracks, he shocked this battle-hardened general. After that, Xiao Yun ordered the craftsmen of the army to rush to make the thunder arrows overnight, and distributed them to the bow and arrow battalions of each army.
Now after Shen Quan's reminder, Li Ling remembered that there was such a big killing weapon in the army.
"Then what the are you bothering about, why don't you hurry up and pull it over and take this broken city for me!"
。。。
After a while, the soldiers besieging the city returned in vain, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were given a chance to breathe, but they did not expect that the next attack would be deadly, devastating, and even plunge them into hell.
These men, who had once again repelled the siege of the Yingzhou army, were still sitting on the head of the city eating dry food, talking and laughing about how many enemies they had killed just now, but these old and young soldiers and civilians at the head of the city did not know that what they were experiencing at this moment was the terrible calm before the storm.
"Whoosh... The sound of a golden arrow piercing the sky came from far and near, coming from the camp of the Yingzhou army under the city, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city who were accustomed to seeing the rain of arrows and hearing the sound of breaking the wind on this day did not care about this sudden arrow, and they didn't even have the interest to look up, but what they didn't expect was that on this seemingly ordinary arrow, it carried the black powder that could kill them instantly.
"Boom. A deafening explosion sounded at the head of the city, causing countless smoke and dust to stir up in the city. Before people could look at the smoke of the explosion, countless stumps and severed arms mixed with hot blood rained down on their bodies.
"Ahh
"Daddy!" the young man shouted with difficulty, the owner of the half head, who was also his biological father, the dear one who had raised him for thirteen years.
However, this explosion is only a prelude to the coming storm. Before the soldiers and civilians defending the city could recover from the shock, countless arrows rained down with the piercing sound of breaking the wind, and in an instant, they reached the top of the city.
"Boom, boom, boom. Countless explosions sounded one after another, and countless screams were also endless, and in an instant, there was a human purgatory above the city, and the stumps and severed arms were thrown high by the air waves generated by the explosion, and with the blood in the sky, it fell straight down, and a hot blood rain fell all over every corner of the four city walls.
After a few moments, the piercing explosions finally stopped, and there was not a single intact body left on the city walls. The red-eyed boy who was crying also disappeared with an explosion, and went to Huangquan with his father.
"Why, shoot, who told you to stop. Li Ling, who was still enjoying the screams of the enemy, suddenly found that the city had calmed down at this moment, and he shouted angrily.
"General, the soldiers defending the city have been slaughtered, and we can take the city. The adjutant general knelt on the ground and reported.
"Attack any city, keep shooting, shoot me into the city, I will let these untouchables bury my brothers who died in our army!"
"General, no, the general has an order... Before Shen Quan could finish speaking, he was kicked out by Li Ling, lying on the ground and spitting blood.
"No, General Ben, there's nothing to do, shoot me! ”
A group of archers did not have the courage to disobey the general's order, so they continued to bend their bows and arrows, and shot a number of thunder arrows into Yanxing City.
The sound of the explosion was remembered again, accompanied by the screams of old and young women and children, resounding throughout the sky.
