Chapter 86: Attack and Defense

||->->

Just when Shangguan Xiu was engrossed in looking out of the city, he saw that the soldiers who were marching forward all pulled out their face towels and covered their faces.

Huya Pass outside are all loess, dry abnormally, the ground can not even see the roots of weeds, by the branches so scratched, the loess on the ground was immediately scraped up, how high it flies, and then look outside the city, where can you still see the figure of the soldiers, all that catches your eye is the loess of the sky.

This situation made Shangguan Xiu frown, and he couldn't imagine that Fanren would have such a hand to cover their advance by scraping up dust on the ground.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu's solemn face, the chief who was not far from him ran over and said, "My lord, Fanzi's archers are coming to charge the city, my lord, let's hide after chopping the arrows!"

"Cavalry archers?"

The chief smiled disapprovingly and said, "Fanzi's routine has not changed for hundreds of years, first using branches to roll up dust as cover, and then the archers suddenly come out by surprise, using the arrow array of the archers to suppress the defenders at the head of the city and cover the infantry charge. ”

Hearing that he knew Fanzi's siege routines well, Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Returning to the adult, the villain Peng Fei!"

"Peng Fei, you immediately take some brothers down to the city, and tear down as many door panels as possible to bring them up, which can not only resist the enemy's arrows, but also receive the enemy's arrows, killing two birds with one stone!" Shangguan Xiu decisively ordered.

"The villain obeys the order!" Hearing Shangguan Xiu's order, Peng Fei's face showed joy, this is the routine of fighting with Fanzi! He beckoned to a nearby group of wind soldiers, and quickly ran down the city wall with dozens of people.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the six people around him, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Cao Lei, Ding Leng, Hao Shu, and Qin Chuan, and saw that they were all gathered around him, he waved his hand and said, "You guys are scattered, each guarding a section of the city wall, and you must not leave your post without my order!"

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" everyone agreed in unison and spread out towards the walls on both sides.

The soldiers were getting closer and closer, and soon, the dust raised outside was only a hundred steps away from Huya Pass, Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, raised the saber in his hand, waved it forward, and shouted: "Release the arrow!"

With his order, the wind army hiding behind the arrow chop stood up in unison, aimed at the dust outside the city, and shot the arrows in their hands one after another.

Airplanes!

A column of arrows flew down from the top of the city and fell into the dust outside, and they could not see whether they had hurt the enemy, but heard a terrible scream coming from the dust.

After the first round of wind army finished shooting arrows, the second round of wind army immediately got up and continued to shoot arrows, and then they crouched down, and the first round of wind army had already loaded the arrows and got up to release the arrows.

The two rounds of wind armies are skillfully coordinated, you come and go, and the arrows flying down from the city have not stopped, round after round.

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, don't look at the defenders on his side are less than a thousand people, but the combat power is not weak at all, although the enemy is outnumbered in this battle, it is still very promising to withstand the enemy's strong attack.

The arrows of the Wind Army continued to fall from the city, and the screams in the dust continued to rise, but that did not stop the advance of the phalanx.

At this moment, a rumbling sound was heard in the dust outside the city, and immediately after, a large group of cavalry rushed out of the dust.

Peng Fei was right, the Fanren really sent cavalry to take the lead in the battle! Shangguan Xiu completed the spiritual armor and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "The enemy archers and cavalry charge into battle, dodge!"

Hearing his shouting, the wind soldiers who stood up hid behind the arrows.

At the moment when they dodged, the archers' arrow array also arrived. Just as he heard a buzz, a black rain of arrows rose from under the city, drew a parabola in the air, and fell on the top of the city.

For a while, the crackling sound of the arrow hitting the bricks of the city wall was one piece, Shangguan Xiu did not dodge, he waved the saber in his hand, dang, dang, dang, with a few crisp sounds, several eagle arrows shot at him were bounced away.

After the arrow array of the archers passed, the wind army hiding behind the arrows immediately stood up and fired a volley at the archers under the city.

Airplanes!

After only one round of arrows, more than a dozen cavalry archers were shot into hedgehogs, and even men and horses fell to the ground with a bang. Seeing that the other party had re-assembled the arrow, Shangguan Xiu waved the spirit knife in his hand backwards and shouted, "Hide!"

Now the wind army at the head of the city is looking at his horse, and there is no need to hear his order, just look at the direction of the sword in his hand, and the people have already crouched behind the arrows.

Another round of arrows flew up from under the city, but the lethality of the wind army, which had been hiding behind the arrows, was limited, and it did not cause much damage.

However, the charge of the archers was still effective, at least so that the wind army at the head of the city could not fire arrows at the infantry phalanx at will.

Soon, the infantry phalanx of the soldiers had advanced to the foot of Huya Pass, pop, pop, pop, in a series of explosions, dozens of ladders were put up on the city, and then, dense soldiers and soldiers swarmed up along the ladders.

"Kill!"

The wind army at the head of the city shouted in unison, and the people stood up and fired arrows at the soldiers on the ladder.

Wang Dao thinks that he can't resist the strong attack of the Fanren, of course, he is not without a target, the city of Huya Pass can be described as poor and white, that is, there is no rolling wood and stones, and there is no fire oil, all rely on arrows and manpower to resist the enemy.

Of course, without these defensive weapons, it really can't be blamed entirely on Wang Wei's head, which is directly related to the lack of resources near Huya Pass.

At the same time as the wind army is releasing arrows downward, the archers are also releasing arrows upwards, and from time to time some of the soldiers climbing the ladder are hit by arrows and tumble down from mid-air, and the wind army on the head of the city is also shot by the opponent's archers from time to time.

The two sides shoot each other's arrows, and it becomes a tug-of-war between you and me.

Just as the wind army was fighting back against the arrows of the archers, Peng Fei ran back to the city with dozens of wind soldiers, each with two or three door panels on their backs. When they went up to the city, they scattered and distributed the door panels to the wind army everywhere.

The wind army who got the door panel immediately erected it on the arrow chop, someone supported it in the back, and someone released the arrow in the back to shoot the enemy on the ladder.

Most of the archers' arrows were blocked by the doors, and the soldiers who climbed the ladder were like dumplings, and people kept falling from arrows.

In this case, if the other party is a rabble, it is almost time to withdraw, but instead of retreating, the Fan people charged more fiercely, looking closely at these soldiers, their eyes are bloodshot, and they hold steel knives in their mouths, like wild beasts, regardless of climbing up the ladder.

Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly, and as he was pondering, he saw a cold light appear in the air, and that cold light did not fly towards him, but towards a door not far from him.

There was a crisp click in the ear wheel, and the thick door panel was actually pierced by the cold light, and a wind soldier who was releasing arrows behind the door panel bore the brunt of the attack, and was hit in the chest by the cold light, and his body flew out more than a meter away, almost tumbling down from the other side of the city wall.

The wind soldier didn't say a word, he was killed on the spot, and then looked at his chest, and withdrew a silver-white arrow, and the white mist emanated from the arrow, and after a short time, the arrow regained its metallic luster.

This is a spirit arrow! There are spirit archers under the city! Shangguan Xiu saw it, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked outside the city.

Just as he was looking out, five cold rays of light flew up from the ranks of the archers, nailed to five different door panels, and the door panels were transparent, and the five wind soldiers hiding behind screamed and flew out, most of them were killed by an arrow.

Shangguan Xiu also saw clearly at this time that there were indeed several spiritual cultivators in the camp of the archers, they were covered with spirit armor, holding spirit bows made of tungsten gold, and the arrows stored in the quiver were also made of tungsten gold.

Shoot the spirit weapon as an arrow, and the people have paid a lot of money for the siege!

Shangguan Xiu's heart is like a mirror, tungsten gold is precious, the number of spirit arrows on the other side is limited after all, it is impossible to shoot it all the time, and it can't kill or injure many of its own soldiers, but the psychological pressure caused by their existence to their own personnel is too great.

Looking at the wind army at the head of the city, many people have put down the door panels, squatted down, and hid behind the arrows, while the nearby soldiers took this opportunity to climb up to the city along the ladder and start a face-to-face battle with the wind army in the city.

Although the soldiers who rushed up were quickly killed and fell to the ground, Shangguan Xiu understood that it was not a way to go on like this, and if he couldn't get rid of those spirit archers, it would be a matter of time before the soldiers tore through their own defenses.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu didn't even hesitate and jumped off the city wall.

The bottom of the city wall was full of soldiers, and no one expected that a person fell from the top of his head, and with a muffled sound, Shangguan Xiu's falling figure smashed the two soldiers to the ground.

The surrounding soldiers screamed one after another, and after a moment of stunned, people rushed up, and more than a dozen spears stabbed from all sides of Shangguan Xiu.

He shouted, swung the spirit knife in his hand and slashed it out, and he heard a crisp sound of clicking, more than a dozen broken spearhead bounces flew into the air, Shangguan Xiu sprinted forward, and between walking and passing, the spirit knife slashed left and right, and the two soldiers were stabbed in the chest, blood sprayed, and they fell to the ground on their backs.

The crowds of soldiers in front of him poured towards him, Shangguan Xiu did not retreat but advanced, the spirit knife in his hand waved outward, the spirit chaos wind cast, and the dense wind blade blew forward.

When killing and injuring a group of enemies, the power of the spirit chaos wind can be said to be exerted to the extreme. There was no superfluous wind blade in the dense wind, and there was no empty one, all of which were blown on the soldiers.

For a while, the screams in the crowd of soldiers were everywhere, the wails continued, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers were blown by the chaotic wind and fell to the ground.

Shangguan Xiu was about to continue to rush forward, when he felt a strong wind rushing towards him, and he subconsciously lifted the spirit knife in his hand to block his chest.

When!

As soon as Jin Ming's voice sounded, Shangguan Xiu felt a thousand powers coming from the knife, and he slid backwards with his feet on the ground, leaving two shocking scratches on the ground.
