Chapter 159: Siege, Siege
Soul City, outside the South Gate
A large 'wooden plank land' with a length and width of 100 zhang was finally completed under the assembly of the soldiers of the imperial and Tibetan army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ma Yuan gave an order, and the 50,000 Tibetan army's forward siege troops quickly went up to the 'plank land', lined up and waited, and the 10,000 soldiers in the rear slid the oars, and the 'plank land' carried 50,000 soldiers and slowly advanced in the direction of the soul city.
The forward troops have gone, but the rear is still busy, and the planks are launched into the water again, connected by iron chains, and in a few moments, another 'plank land' is formed.
Under the command of Ma Yuan, three large 'plank lands', carrying a total of 180,000 soldiers of the Imperial Tibetan Army, roared towards the direction of Soul City.
The war drums shook the sky, and more than 100 war drums roared like thunder under the fierce beating of the burly soldiers, as if they were about to break the sky.
The military flag of the word 'emperor' with hideous skeletons fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers of the emperor-Tibetan army clenched their weapons, and their young faces were full of hunting intent.
On the last piece of 'plank land', a battle flag with the word 'horse' was raised in the wind, and the horse supported the hand, a pair of bull's eyes stared out, looking at the approaching soul city with murderous intent.
Soul City
The guards on the city wall, who were still laughing at first, couldn't laugh at this moment, looking at the scene of the three planks in front of them and the breaking water, they all grew their mouths and fell into a stupor for a while.
Bao Wei was still smiling happily, but he gradually sank, and when he turned his mind, he understood the intention of the Emperor Tibetan Army, frowned and whispered, "It is too high to use this method to combat the position, so that the enemy army can climb the city wall more easily, our army is only more than 120,000 when it is full, and the enemy army has as many as 180,000, although our army has the advantage of the city wall, but at this moment, it ......"
With the clarity of the ideas in his mind, Bao Wei's face became more and more ugly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that his army was still staring blankly, the anger in his chest was instantly ignited, his face turned red, and he yelled angrily: "What are you looking at?
"Ahh......h
"Bang ~~"
The urgent alarm bell rang leisurely from the south side, echoing throughout the Soul City for a long time, and the atmosphere of the Soul City became tense at this time.
Half an hour later, 30,000 new reinforcements were added to the south gate city wall, bringing the total to 70,000, but there were more troops in the follow-up, and reinforcements continued to come here.
And after panic and haste on the city wall, under the command of Bao Wei, he was finally ready to defend, not to say how fast the ghost soldiers were reacting, but Xue Morui had ordered that all the defensive equipment and other equipment should be moved to the city wall to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, so he could be so quickly prepared at this moment.
Time passed, and the 180,000 soldiers of the Emperor's Tibetan Army, under the bearing of three large wooden planks, finally approached a hundred steps outside the south gate.
At the head of the city, Bao Wei saw the Imperial Tibetan Army approaching, and did not dare to hesitate at all, so he immediately shouted and ordered, ordering the crossbowmen to release arrows at the Imperial Tibetan Army.
Instigation~~~
The arrows pierced the sky, the sound of urns rang out, and thousands of sharp arrows fell into the air, overwhelmingly tilting down towards the emperor's Tibetan army.
In the place of the front army, Yang Yuji had already prepared in his heart, and when he saw the arrows flying in, he immediately ordered the contradictory army, which had increased to more than 10,000 in the front row, to raise a large shield to cover the crossbowmen behind him.
Knock knock~~
More than 10,000 soldiers of the contradictory army listened to the order, quickly put down the strong shield in their hands, lined up in a row, and the back row stuck the big shield into the front row, and instantly formed a row of steel-like city walls, as if blocking the arrows that shot down from the city wall, covering the follow-up crossbowmen.
Seeing that the arrow attack was ineffective, and the opponent's plank was already fifty paces away, about to approach the city gate, Bao Wei was in a hurry, and yelled and ordered: "Hurry... They all threw flying stones at Ben Shuai to prevent the enemy from approaching, and they must not be allowed to come close. ā
When the order was passed, the ghost army, who were also panicked, hurriedly smashed the big stones towards the big shield under the city.
At this time, the forward troops of the Emperor-Tibetan Army finally entered the firing range, and Yang Yuji looked solemn and shouted: "The Divine Arrow Army, divide into formations, take turns to fire volleys at the head of the city, suppress the enemy army, and cover our army's approach." When he was drinking, he was quickly crescent moon and shot an arrow through the air.
The arrow was like lightning, roaring suddenly, and an arrow hit a soldier of the ghost army, and the enemy soldier did not say a word, leaned down from the top of the city, and fell into the water with a pop.
Yang Yuji's arrow officially opened the curtain of long-range fire suppression of the imperial Tibetan army.
Trembling~~~
Sharp arrows like a rain of arrows flew into the air, weaving into a huge dense web of cold light, covering the city.
In the blink of an eye, blood splashed, screams came and went, hundreds of enemy soldiers were shot by arrows, screaming and falling from the city, falling into the water, only a moment later, the south gate of the soul city, floating dense corpses, the blood that seeped out was dyed the surrounding waters bright red, a smell of blood, spontaneously.
The archers of the Divine Arrow Army, after the training and practice of Yang Yuji, have already refined their superb archery skills one by one, and each arrow can really be called an arrow without missing shots, and the hit rate is terrifying.
The ghost army above the city was so shot by the Divine Arrow Army, the people who shot it turned over on their backs, and they had no power to parry, and they squatted down to avoid the arrows, who still had time to throw flying stones.
The Ghost Army was completely suppressed and could not raise its head at all, and Yoyuki's forward troops also crashed into the wall of the South Gate at this time.
"Boom~~"
The loud sound of the muffled impact suddenly sounded, and the impact of the collision between the two was even more disturbing the ghost army on the city wall, and the body of the emperor and Tibetan army on the wooden board was unstable, at the same time, in the rear, the two planks of the emperor and the Tibetan army also arrived at this time, under the order of Ma Yuan, the soldiers quickly rushed forward, fixed the plank and the plank, and the front row of planks and the city wall were stabilized with rivets.
In this way, the three major planks of the Emperor-Tibetan Army suddenly became a single body, like a long land, covering all the 100-zhang range outside the south gate of the Soul City, giving the Emperor-Tibetan Army a better opportunity to attack the city.
"Li Xuanba, vulture bones, order the two of you to lead 10,000 siege echelons each, attack the city wall, and occupy the city for Ben Shuai! Yang Yuji, order you to lead the Divine Arrow Army to shoot wildly, without stopping, suppress the enemy army for Ben Shuai, Ma Chao, order you to lead 50,000 soldiers to follow-up support, and capture this soul city for Ben Shuai........ one after another orders were issued from Ma Yuan's mouth.
Knock knock~~
The earth-shattering war drums rose to the sky, accompanied by the roars of Li Xuanba and the vultures, and the battle of the Emperor-Tibetan army began.
