Chapter 14: Shoot Through

"My lord, we can't retreat, it's all fire behind us!" shouted one of the guards.

Umuda looked back, and behind them, completely overwhelmed by the raging fire, the cavalry, who had no time to dodge, screamed and fell into the flames, screaming and struggling with their horses. The once neat formation was now a complete mess.

The courtyard wall of the granary stone fortress can not stand people, except for a few soldiers on the sentry tower, the granary craftsman guards in the wall have already rebuilt a temporary exit inside, this temporary city wall is assembled with a grain truck, tall and abnormal, but also divided into levels, the second layer has been comparable to the courtyard wall level, the third layer is much higher, the soldiers stand on the siege vehicle, operating a strong crossbow and a longbow, shoot at the barbarians outside the wall, there is no way to retreat outside the wall, there is a barbarian soldier in front of the blockade desperately impacting the courtyard wall, bending the bow and arrows on the horse, shooting at the Dingzhou people on the siege vehicle and the sentry tower。 From time to time, someone screamed and fell from the siege engine.

Wu Gang, who was sitting on the sentry tower, did not move at all, the raging fire outside reflected his face crimson, and from time to time there were cold arrows shooting at the sentry tower, Wu Yang next to him carried a shield to block the arrows one by one, and the bed crossbow on the sentry tower shot out with a whistling sound, and the barbarians who were forced to be crowded together by the fire were often shot by the strong bed crossbow like a sugar gourd.

Wu Gang didn't expect the defenders of Yangcheng to arrive on time, so when she came to the granary, all the arrangements were to destroy the brute soldiers who attacked here alone, and all the people in the living quarters outside were evacuated to the granary. Looking at the grain transporters who had been densely lined up in a dense formation inside the courtyard wall, and then looking at the barbarian cavalry outside, Wu Gang showed a smile on his face, Wu Muda, today is your death taboo, no one of the barbarians here can live.

The brutes outside the wall had no way to retreat, and behind them were the approaching fires, and the trebuchets inside the walls were still throwing grease, and the fire reflected the sky red, and the smell of roast meat spread in the air.

"Rush to it, break down the surrounding wall. The brute soldiers, who had no way to retreat, had red eyes, dragging huge logs to hit the wall again and again, and finally, after a loud bang, the wall of the stone rampart was knocked down more than ten zhang long, and several siege vehicles near this section of the courtyard wall were knocked down when they boarded, screaming and falling down. The brutes cheered and swarmed through the gap.

Emuda did not have time to rejoice, for his joy was extinguished by the crossbow arrows that flew like locusts, and the hundred crossbows that had been prepared in the wall were concentrated towards this gap, and the cavalry who rushed in were densely packed with arrows like hedgehogs.

The brutes in front fell, and the barbarians in the back kept pouring in, because the fire behind them was getting closer and closer, and the fire with the smell of roasted meat was more terrifying than the crossbow arrows.

Batches poured in, batches fell, and in an instant, the gap of more than ten zhang had been filled by the corpses of people and horses.

Wang Yang, the lord of Yangcheng, was anxious at this time, after receiving the eight hundred miles urgent order from the lord's mansion, he led the only 1,000 cavalry in Yangcheng to go first, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers followed, when he was still more than ten miles away from the granary, he saw the fire rising into the sky on the side of the granary, and his heart was even more in his throat, can he withstand it?

The wall in the granary was broken down section by piece, and more and more brutes began to rush into the wall, and after firing several times with the crossbow, they finally began to tell the chime, and there was no longer time to load the crossbow arrows, and the garrison soldiers hurriedly dragged the crossbows back, and when the green crossbows fired flat, the foot soldiers lined up in a dense formation and began to move forward. Although these garrison soldiers have received simple military training, they are not enough to compare with the barbarian standing army that fights all year round, and now they can only rely on the advantage of numbers, the sophistication of Kaijia, and the tactics of overwhelming the opponent with crowds.

Umuda looked at the cavalry beside him, nearly half of the people had gone now, and when he saw the black and oppressive ironclad foot soldiers on the opposite side, his heart was full of bitterness, he originally thought that it was a great credit to be captured, but now it is the first step into the abyss of death, and he can no longer leave this place today. Since the other party has laid a trap here, it is conceivable that even if he rushes out of here, he is further outside, I am afraid that there are ambushes waiting for him now, not to mention, he looked at the fire behind him, and the corners of his mouth were pulled, and it was impossible to rush out.

With a glimmer of hope, his subordinates were mustering up the courage to charge at the opposing troops, but Umuda already knew that defeat would be inevitable, and the cavalry without the charge was facing the armored soldiers who were waiting for them, and the long sharp spears were already doomed, not to mention, he saw that behind the foot soldiers, the terrifying repeater had begun to load the crossbow arrows.

In fact, as Umuda sees, although the military skills of the garrison soldiers in the granary are not up to par, but they have strength, some are excellent Kai armor, sharp weapons, the big guys are tightly squeezed together, filling the already small battlefield, and the barbarian cavalry with no way back is squeezed by countless foot soldiers, desperately waving their war horses and chopping indiscriminately, unless they cut to the point, it is difficult to kill with a knife, and those spears that are indiscriminately stabbed are simply impossible to parry, some of them poke people, some stab horses, and win in the crowd, one after another cavalry was poked to the ground by people and horses, and was quickly emptied from the field。

The gleam of Ebony Eyes slowly disappeared and became a little hollow, allowing the war horses to roam the battlefield, completely ignoring the fact that his cavalry was fighting desperately one after another. The end is already doomed, it's just a struggle before dying.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in brocade standing on the edge of the sentry tower not far away, holding the letter railing tightly with both hands, looking at him coldly with hatred and ridicule on his face.

Jin Yiwei, Wu Muda suddenly, for the important people of Qin Wuling, because the Blood Eagle Tribe had just arrived, except for Ye Qing and Li Xin and other generals, there was not much understanding of other characters. But they also heard that Qin Wuling had a special intelligence agency called Jinyiwei, although they didn't know the composition of Jinyiwei's personnel, but they still recognized the iconic clothes.

Unexpectedly, the well-planned offensive of the marshal concealed Li Xin and the defenders of Yangcheng, but it was planted in the hands of Jinyiwei. A hatred rose uncontrollably in Emuda's heart, and killed him, a voice screamed violently in his heart, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he destroyed the horse, and made the war horse add, and at the same time put three long arrows in his hand, and pulled the bow on the wind, and the strings rang three times, and the arrows were beaded.

Wu Yang has been vigilant in his heart, when Emuda began to run to this side, he has raised his vigilance, when a black line suddenly appeared in his eyes, Wu Yang's heart trembled, so fast arrows, shields, blocked in front of Wu Gang's body, when Dangdang three times in a row, Wu Yang's arm numb, the tiger's mouth shook violently, the shield was already out of his hand and was shaken away, seeing that the other party was three arrows in a row, he shouted, he didn't care about anything else, grabbed Wu Gang with one hand, fit and hit, Wu Gang was knocked to the ground, and the three fronts that were connected into a line swept over the heads of the two of them, Wu Yang, who was in a cold sweat, pressed Wu Gang under him, and did not wait to get up, he had ordered loudly, "Kill him".

Seeing Wu Gang fall to the ground, the soldiers on the sentry tower were all scattered, several bed crossbows were aimed at Umuda at the same time, the sound of collapse and collapse sounded continuously, and more than a dozen long crossbows were shot out at the same time.

Ebony had no time to see his results, the long crossbow was shot, he only had time to wave the longbow in his hand, to hit the long crossbow, but the power of the bed crossbow was not able to compete with manpower, although he used all the strength of his body, but only let the long crossbow deflect slightly, it was still lightning pierced into his body, and then the bed crossbow arrow nailed the ebony man and the horse to the ground, the long crossbow through the human body and the horse, in a frame so that although the ebony was dead thoroughly, but still did not fall, together with the war horse, was erected on the ground.

Umuda died, and the barbarian horsemen began to flee in all directions, and some jumped into the fire despite the raging fire. Wu just got up from the ground in a hurry, took a look at his clothes, looked at the battlefield where the overall situation was determined, and coldly ordered, "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”

When Wang Yang arrived at the battlefield, the battle was basically over, the garrison soldiers were dragging water dragons to extinguish the fire outside, and more people were cleaning up the battlefield, wrapping the dead companions in white cloth and stacking them neatly, while the injured companions were quickly carried away for treatment, and as for the brute riders, they were piled up in piles.

Wang Yangce slowly walked into the granary, saw the tragic battlefield, a little dumbfounded, he was desperately rushing to come, but he didn't expect the war to end before he arrived, seeing the body of Umuda who was still being held on the battlefield by the long crossbow, he couldn't help but shake his heart for a while, looking up at Wu Gang, he turned over and dismounted, walked to the sentry tower, hugged his fists and bowed and said: "Wang Yang has seen Deputy Commander Wu." ”

Wu Gang leaned down, looked at Wang Yang condescendingly, and said with a smile: "City Lord Wang, you are still late, the battle is over." Three thousand barbarians, none of them escaped. ”

Wang Yang smiled and said: "He Xi Wu, the deputy commander, has no last resort, he has succeeded in the first battle, killed the barbarian general Wu Muda, made a great contribution to my Qin Wu Ling, and greatly increased the morale of our army." ”

Wu Gang laughed, "Emuda, Wang City Lord, clean up this guy's corpse, send it to the front line of the new city, and let Li Xin return it to Anima, I really want to see what expression the invincible Anima has on his face when he sees Emuda's corpse, hahaha."

Anima's sneak attack on Dagang Town last year killed nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians, and a large number of supplies were lost, and Wu Gang has always held a grudge.

Annihilating the invading barbarian horsemen, Wu Gang packed up the corpse of Wu Muda, accompanied by Wang Yang, and marched towards the upper forest, and the ruined granary living area and the torn down wall were at their own disposal.

Li Xin, who had already gotten the news, was on pins and needles, and thousands of cavalry raided the granary, which really made him break out in a cold sweat, and Anima's ruthlessness made him really understand it, but fortunately, Jinyiwei showed the other party's action in time, and prepared in advance, but turned a big bad thing into a good thing, when he heard that the scout who came to report the news had annihilated the barbarian cavalry who had infiltrated and killed the thief chief Umuda, Li Xin finally put his mind at ease.
