Chapter 413: Rain of Arrows
readx;
The imperial army saw that they could not conquer Tianjing City after two waves of attacks, and the soldiers lost as many as 30,000 soldiers, countless wounded, and the soldiers were exhausted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, Bai Bifang issued an order to stop the siege, and told the soldiers to rest in place, recuperate, and then make further sieges.
And the reason why the imperial army did not retreat to the barracks in Xiaogu Town was because they didn't want the Holy Lotus Sect's hanging heart to relax, and they always maintained vigilance against themselves.
Although the imperial army can't help Tianjing City, it will not let the Holy Lotus Sect in it have a good life, and they must always be on guard against the attack of the imperial army, tense their nerves, and use the purpose of exhausting the Holy Lotus Sect.
Xu Yang saw that every time night came, dazzling flares would burst out from time to time in Tianjing City, illuminating all directions, making every corner of the city bright and shining, the purpose was to prevent the imperial army from attacking Tianjing City at night again.
"Two generals, it has been ten days since our army came to Tianjing City, and it has ended in failure after two sieges. I wonder what the two generals will do next?" Xu Yang asked, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Bai Bifang nodded, watched the flares flying in all directions in Tianjing City, and said earnestly: "Tianjing City is indeed a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a tough attack has no effect. Only by thinking of other strategies can we enter Tianjing City!"
"Since we can't attack the Tianjing City, then we can lure out the soldiers in the city, and then win by surprise, wouldn't we still be able to disintegrate the Holy Lotus Sect. It's just that how to lure the Holy Lotus Sect out of the city has become a headache?" Shi Anhei said.
The imperial army could appear through these two attacks on Tianjing City, and whenever the soldiers were defeated and returned, the Holy Lotus Sect in the city did not follow and kill, and still defended Tianjing City.
The purpose is self-evident, the Holy Lotus Sect just wants to defend Tianjing City for two or three months, wait for the Dachuan Rain Array to reactivate, and force the imperial army to evacuate Tianjing.
It's just that the Holy Lotus Sect can wait for two or three months, but the imperial army can't wait so long. Not because of the supply of grain and grass, but because of the rain showers hanging over the head.
"Otherwise, tomorrow we will send an agile general to fight and see how the Tianjing City reacts, and then how about it?" Shi Anhei proposed.
Xu Yang thought about it, and that was the only way. He said, "If you send an ordinary general, I'm afraid it will be useless." It's better to send the two generals of the Shenji Battalion, Gu Hong and Taihua, out to fight, and then I'll wait to bury the soldiers in the shadows. And then this and that, and that. ”
After Bai Bifang and Shi Anhei heard Xu Yang's plan, they smiled and said, "Wonderful!"
The three of them were discussing strategies in the army, and there were naturally guards around them, and no one was allowed to approach them, so as to prevent secrets from leaking out.
The next day, there was a deafening sound of drums in the imperial army, and the army was instantly boiling, and marched towards Tianjing City with great momentum.
It's just that at this time, the imperial army has been reduced by a part compared with yesterday, and this part of the soldiers is ambushed elsewhere.
In the process of advancing towards Tianjing City, the imperial army also heard the earth-shattering sound of horns in the city, and saw that there were people surging above the city, and everyone had fire guns and bows and crossbows in their hands.
When the imperial army advanced to a distance of two thousand meters from Tianjing City, it stopped again, looking like it was not in a hurry to attack the city. And the places where they stopped were all places where each other's cannons, bows, crossbows, and muskets could not hit.
And the Holy Lotus Sect in Tianjing City was also confused, and they couldn't understand what tricks the imperial army was going to play this time, why they didn't rush towards Tianjing City with such a bang as before?
Even though the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers were full of doubts in their hearts, they were still careful to guard against the imperial army coming over.
As a result, both sides stood still, and they continued to stalemate, only waiting for the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers to be furious, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Zhang Feng took the telescope in his hand, looked at the imperial army and looked at it, and finally locked his eyes on Xu Yang in front of him, and instantly became angry, the more he looked, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to open the city gate and go out to compete with Xu Yang.
Xu Yang deliberately delayed like this, just to make the Holy Lotus Sect confused and puzzled by his true intentions.
And when Xu Yang looked towards Tianjing City, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of the city tower, and after a closer look, he was surprised to see that the other party was Zhang Feng, and sneered.
As time passed, there was no movement on both sides, just continued to watch.
And just as the sun gradually set to the west, the sun also shone on the faces of everyone above the city wall, making people unable to open their eyes under the stimulation of the sun.
Suddenly, I saw two people dressed in armor and riding flying horses rushing out of the imperial army, the one holding the eight mace was Gu Hong, and the one holding the three-pointed two-edged knife was Taihua.
The two of them rushed all the way in the direction of Tianjing City like wild horses.
The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect in Tianjing City were squinting their eyes and fighting their spiritual defenses, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping all the way towards them, and they were shocked, and they suddenly woke up one by one. And some nervous soldiers accidentally released the bowstring and shot an arrow into the distance.
When Zhang Fengzheng didn't understand the intentions of the imperial court, he saw two people rushing in the army, and when he looked closely, he saw that the two of them were dressed in armor, holding weapons in their hands, and their faces were fierce and vicious. I don't know what the two of them are doing here?
Zhang Feng saw that the two of them were getting closer and closer to him, and they had also entered the shooting range of the bow and crossbow and firecracker, and he didn't bother to care what the two of them were doing here, so he shouted to his subordinates beside him: "Pass the order: no matter what the other party is doing here, just release arrows and shoot me!"
His soldiers were ordered to leave. On the city tower, gongs and drums began to be beaten to convey Zhang Feng's orders.
And as the order was conveyed from the inside out, the "fluttering" sound of the dense rain of arrows and the "bang" of the fire guns also resounded.
Suddenly, an overwhelming rain of arrows and firelight also enveloped the two generals, pouring down, covering the two generals under them.
When the two of them were rushing towards Tianjing City, they saw that the Holy Lotus Sect had already counterattacked them in advance, and they were furious, and they couldn't hesitate, so they hurriedly raised the weapon in their hands above their heads and began to fly and spin, and then the sound of "crackling" also resounded on the weapon.
Zhang Feng saw the rain of arrows and the light of fire enveloping the two of them, and when he was overjoyed, he was surprised to see that not only were they not killed by the rain of arrows and gunfire, but they actually began to fly and spin the weapons in their hands.
During the rotation of the two weapons, they are not only as fast as a windmill, but also shroud themselves and their mounts under them, so as not to die.
The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect who released arrows and fired guns on the city wall were shocked to see that the two generals did not die under the rain of arrows and bullets, and they were puzzled that these two people were still human beings, and they were able to rotate the weapons in their hands so fast, and they were able to resist the stormy attack, which was simply unseen and unheard of.
In an instant, the two generals were scattered around with dense, thick layers of arrow feathers and sparks. And the two generals and their mounts never suffered the slightest damage, and they were still like divine help, constantly rotating the weapons in their hands, blocking the dense rain of arrows and gunfire.
The imperial army seemed to be watching a play, and when they saw Gu Hong and Taihua spinning the weapons in their hands, blocking the dense rain of arrows and gunfire above their heads, they didn't expect that the two would have such powerful skills, and they were overjoyed and began to cheer and cheer.
Xu Yang watched the two generals keep rotating the weapons in their hands, while the Holy Lotus Sect kept releasing arrows and firing guns, lest the two generals would not be able to support it, so he shouted towards Tianjing City: "The Holy Lotus Sect that has done a lot of evil all listen: Hurry up and surrender the city, and there will be a glimmer of life, otherwise after the imperial army enters the city, there will be no armor left." ”
Zhang Feng saw that the rain of arrows and gunfire on his side did not have the slightest effect on the two generals, and when he was thinking about whether to cease fire, he suddenly heard Xu Yang's voice in the distance, and the voice echoed between heaven and earth, spreading to all corners of Tianjing City, and he was angry.
"Don't let go of the arrows again! Save some arrows and bullets, otherwise if you waste it again, you will fall for the trick of Xu Yang, a little ghost. Keychan shouted.
When Zhang Feng was angry and hateful in his heart, he heard Jian Chan's words, nodded, and shouted around: "Don't let go of the arrows and fire again." The sound was conveyed over and over again, and the rain of arrows and gunfire gradually stopped.
"The cowardly Holy Lotus Sect will only use these trivial things to plot against people, what kind of ability is it. If you have the guts, dare to go out of the city and fight with this general for a hundred rounds, and see who is worthy of sitting in Tianjing City. If you don't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, hurry up and leave, and get out of Tianjing City. Gu Hong shouted sharply.
"The Holy Lotus Sect, which is like a rat by nature, has heard it? Don't be a shrunken turtle in the city anymore, and go out of the city to compete with your military grandfather. If you don't dare, hurry up and hand over Tianjing City, otherwise once the city is broken, it will also be the time when you will die and have no place to be buried. Taihua shouted.
Seeing the two of them shouting under the city, constantly insulting themselves, and letting themselves go out of the city to fight, they gritted their teeth angrily, eager to go down to the city now, fight with the two of them, and teach them a lesson in their arrogance.
Zhang Feng saw the two fighting under the city, so he naturally wouldn't fall for the two of them, and said to the soldiers around him: "Give me an order: if you go out of the city to meet the battle without my order, you will be killed." ”
Zhang Feng's order suddenly reached the ears of the soldiers and generals, and everyone was so angry that they only listened to the incessant cursing of the two generals, but they did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle without authorization.
