Chapter 61: Siege Warfare
There was a great chaos on the west side of the city wall, and the news soon reached the ears of Wu Lei, who was commanding the archers in the city gate cave.
There are hundreds of meters long and six or seven meters wide on the city wall, and tens of thousands of Tianlei soldiers have been stationed on it before, which is already a little crowded, and at this time two hundred black-clothed people who have cultivated to be strong suddenly appeared, and for a while, the Tianlei Army was killed by surprise, and there was a big chaos, just in the blink of an eye, thousands of Tianlei soldiers and soldiers were killed, and the west side of the city head was also occupied by the black-clothed people.
Although the number of the Heavenly Thunder Army is large, due to the fact that the terrain of the city wall is not spacious, the formation cannot be used at all, and it can only engage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, in hand-to-hand combat, where are they the opponents of these black-clothed people, it is a group of Heavenly Thunder Army who went up and was killed, tens of thousands of them, but they were forced to retreat by hundreds of black-clothed people.
"Get out of the way!" At this moment, an angry shout sounded in the rear of the Tianlei Army, and with a loud shout, several figures jumped up from the Tianlei Army, directly jumping over the head of the Tianlei Army who was retreating, and landed at the front, it was Wu Lei who hurried to the city wall and those partial generals.
As soon as Wu Lei came, the form was reversed instantly, and after he landed, he didn't say much, he directly swept through the thousands of troops, and the heavy blade of the sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white light, and with his sweep, an arc-shaped glow instantly left the knife, blocking and slashing towards the two hundred men in black.
Wu Lei is a master of cultivation in the Yuan Infant Stage, his attack is huge, and the twenty or so black-clothed people in the front are almost too late to defend, and they are swept by the arc-shaped silver light in an instant, and only the continuous muffled sound of puff is heard in the ears, and the more than twenty black-clothed people are stopped and broken by Qi Qi, until this time, the arc-shaped light of Wu Lei's strafing has disappeared.
"Kill,"
After the blow, Wu Lei shouted angrily and rushed towards the man in black first.
And several partial generals who came with him also followed Wu Lei and rushed into the black-clothed crowd, starting a life-and-death fight.
The turmoil at the head of the city, the Qin army outside the city in the distance naturally saw it, and a big man with a full moon scimitar turned to Qin Yuanyi and arched his hand, and said, "Your Highness, the plan has begun, let's,"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he raised his right hand and waved it forward, shouting and ordering, "The whole army is attacking." ”
As his words fell, the drums of the Qin army sounded, and the 150,000 troops lined up, 50,000 infantry took the lead, 20,000 archers followed to cover, then 30,000 infantry, and finally 50,000 cavalry, slowly advancing towards the city wall.
Wu Lei, who was fighting with the man in black at the head of the city, naturally also heard the drum sound of the Qin army, he slashed back a man in black with a knife, and when he looked back, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted around, "Liu Yan Zhang Tao stayed with me to kill the enemy, and the others returned to their posts, listen to Mr. Liang's command, and must hold the city wall." ”
As Wu Lei's words fell, more than a dozen figures instantly flew out from the crowd of people in black, and they didn't stop at all, jumping out of the encirclement of the people in black and rushing directly to the various defense points of the city wall.
The one who stayed, one is called Liu Yan, the other is called Zhang Tao, both of them are powerful energy in the Tianlei Army, and the cultivators of the Jindan period are strong, and they have made countless contributions in the Tianlei Army.
The three of them were back to back, defending on three sides, and by this time, more than half of the men in black had been killed and wounded, and now there were only more than sixty people.
However, these more than sixty people are top masters, and among them, there are five Jindan stage cultivation masters.
Because Wu Lei is in the infancy of the Yuan, the three of them fought against more than 60 people, and they fought equally, regardless of victory or defeat.
But at this moment, the archers had already gone down from the city to the head of the city, and when Wu Lei saw this, he shouted at Liu Yan and Zhang Tao, who were desperately resisting, "Go." ”
Then, the three of them worked together to shake back all the black-clothed people around them, and the three of them also took this opportunity to bounce up and break out of the encirclement of the black-clothed people.
"Shoot the arrows. Wu Lei shouted loudly as soon as he landed.
Those archers who had just reached the top of the city, when they heard the order, pointed their bows and arrows at the crowd of the black-clothed people.
First of all, there were sporadic arrows, and the man in black was able to resist them, and he used the scimitar in his hand to block the arrows that came one after another.
However, as more and more archers rushed to the city, the arrows shot became more and more dense, and there was no need to aim at a certain person, only to point the arrow in one direction, and then pull the bow and release the arrow, almost all of which could hit the enemy.
With the sound of breaking the air, no matter how flexible the black-clothed man was and how advanced his cultivation was, he couldn't resist the continuous shooting of thousands of arrows, and in an instant, more than sixty black-clothed people were shot into a hornet's nest, and the only ones who were still standing were the five Jindan stage cultivators.
There was a faint glow emanating from them, and they were using the True Qi in their bodies to transform the defensive circle to resist the arrows of the Heavenly Thunder Army.
It's just that in the face of so many and dense arrows, their resistance only lasted for two minutes, and with a muffled sound of "poof,,", a black-clothed man in the Jindan period broke his defensive circle, and in an instant, more arrows were inserted into his body.
"Puff puff," there were several muffled sounds in succession, and the other four did not escape the nightmare, and were shot one after another.
At this time, the Qin army had already attacked the moat, and the 50,000 infantry at the forefront had already begun to cross the river.
"General, the enemy army has crossed the river, what should we do?" a partial general hurriedly ran to Wu Lei's side and asked urgently.
Wu Lei looked back, and sure enough, some of the enemy's infantry had even rushed to the edge of the city wall, but, to Wu Lei's surprise, these infantry did not bring siege equipment, not even a ladder, just simple infantry rushed over.
Wu Lei was a veteran after all, and after a short period of confusion, he calmed down, and he shouted loudly, "Archers prepare, release arrows." ”
At this time, the enemy crossed the moat and was already within the range of the arrows.
With Wu Lei's order, the five thousand archers at the head of the city immediately took action, skillfully split two rows, drew their bows and arrows one by one, and aimed at the Qin army under the city.
"Put,"
A shout rang out, stand
The archers at the forefront were ordered to shoot the arrows in their hands, and then they retreated in unison, and then the archers in the rear fired a round of arrows, and at this time, the first round of archers had already drawn their bows and arrows, and after the second round of arrows was fired, they immediately stepped forward and shot the arrows in their hands, and so on, and so on, and fired more than a dozen rounds of arrows in a row.
In this kind of legion warfare, the arrow shoot does not need to be aimed, it only needs to be aimed at the city, and the arrows are constantly released, there are almost no empty arrows, and each arrow can almost hit the enemy, not to mention that this is a condescending arrow shooting, the power of the arrow is greater, as long as it hits, it can shoot the enemy through the heart.
Only a dozen rounds of arrows were fired, and the enemy had already been shot thousands of people, and a hundred meters outside the city wall, there were corpses and rivers of blood.
But the strange thing is that the Qin army seemed to rush forward as if they didn't want to die, and were shot and killed batch after batch, like unconscious beasts, they only knew how to rush forward, and they didn't care about the rain of arrows on the city wall.
