Chapter 554: People Are Coming, Arrows Are Ringing
On the gate of Qili City, in the tea cup in front of Wu Gan, there were suddenly circles of ripples. Raising his head and looking to the east, there was a black line rolling in on the rippling green grass. The black gradually thickens and thickens, gradually crushing the green under his feet, turning into billowing smoke.
Here it comes.
Wu Yan muttered, looked back at the city that was still reinforcing the city defense, and still had some regrets in his heart, if he gave himself a few more days, he would not be more supportive, "Wuyang, blow the trumpet, the thief has arrived." ”
The high-pitched and clear sound of the horn sounded, quickly covering the city of Qianli. Rows of giant crossbows were raised, and the sound of crunching and turning winches was like thousands of weavers spinning. Long arrows were placed on the ballista cart, and the tips of the arrows were quenched by the sun.
There were constantly people running on the city walls or forest hills, conveying the military orders of the leader, and the entire defense line of the city suddenly became alive.
"Sixty thousand." Wu Yan looked at the crowd of black pressure and almost groaned. The number of people on the opposite side is very easy to calculate, the location, flag, and clothing of each family are different, and the total number can be known with a little inventory. These people gathered together, and the majestic momentum rose, stirring the surrounding air currents, and it looked a little distorted from a distance.
"Not only that, according to the report of the Yihu Army, the people of the Ba family are heading towards this side, and the Flying Tiger Army also has a tendency to approach the city of Qianli." Hu Jia added on the side, "And Lu Lie is shrewd this time, everyone is gathered together, it seems that he wants to crush us to death with numbers." ”
"It's not a good battle." The treasure elephant leaned against the wall, his face a little solemn.
"The only thing we can rely on is these fortifications, I'm afraid we really can't stop other people's attacks." Wu Yan sighed and slapped the wall heavily, "You can fight whatever you can this time, it seems that you can't fight here." Our task is to reduce the enemy's vital forces and create conditions for the final decisive battle to catch Luling. Send a letter to Himeya and tell him what we are going to do.
In this battle, Wuyang and I were on the middle earthen wall to guard the town, the city was coordinated by Xue Xin, and the forest hill was handed over to Baoxiang. As for the mastiffs, the cattle are also stationed in the southwest of the city, ready to support at any time. Since the moon has already led people, he has his own measure, let's leave it alone.
Hu Jia and Yang Zheng were located in the city to co-ordinate, and dispatched the Yihu army to attack and coordinate the southern army at the right time. In addition, Ye Ziming and Bu Qiyin can move. ”
Yang Zheng nodded, "Ye Ziming has already sent a letter, they have broken away from the coalition camp and are making a detour to the back of the Luling Ridge." ”
"Okay, what about the bridge class, those flying stone cars can be adjusted." Wu Yan turned his head and asked, touching the whereabouts of the bridge class.
"He's adjusting the stone cart at the earthen wall." Sun Hong pointed to the rows of flying stone carts behind the earthen wall in the distance, "This time the preparation was in a hurry, and I sent people to demolish many houses in the city, so that I could barely scrape together enough wood for the flying stone trucks. ”
"If it's not enough, then demolish it, anyway, this city will be destroyed if it fights." Wu Gen waved his hand and said disapprerovitically, "You are solely responsible for this matter, and the other tunnels can be dug through." ”
"Yes, but there is help, but the progress is very fast, but the coalition forces have arrived, and I have withdrawn some of the people, so as not to be discovered by them." Sun Hong continued.
"Okay, I'll split up." Wu Gan greeted, turned around and jumped off the city wall, landing on the first earthen wall.
Among the coalition forces on the opposite side, Lu Lie, Gu Yangsi and others were also looking at the situation in Qianli City, even Ba Hong had arrived here in advance, and his other 5,000 men and horses were still rushing here.
"Is Wu Gen a hedgehog, this city has been made like this by him, it's not easy to attack." Lu Lie looked at the chaotic construction in the opposite city and gasped.
"I'm going to see what's going on in the city." When he first arrived here, he heard that it was rumored in the army that the Ba family was avoiding war, and he couldn't help but have the idea of being competitive.
"Brother, be careful." Cang Yu touched a scar on his arm, "These people have invited the bird catcher, in case they are overshadowed, it will be inappropriate." ”
Ba Yueze smiled slightly, disapproving, "Don't worry, I'm just looking down from the air, it's hard to reach the sky where the birdcatcher can still hide his figure." As he spoke, he turned his head and arched his hand at Bahong, "Young master, wait a minute, I'll go and find out about the enemy, so that no one will chew his tongue behind his back." ”
Ba Hong knew those rumors, and the coalition army was busy transferring himself here, although it was to prove his innocence, but it was impossible to say that these people also had suspicions, so Ba Yueze showed his face in front of everyone, and also justified his name, so he nodded, "Be careful." ”
Ba Yueze glanced at Lu Lie and the others, jumped off the horse in one step, ran a few steps, and went straight to the city of Qianli. When he was only a few hundred steps away from the city, his body stepped heavily on the ground, and flew straight into the sky like an arrow from a string.
"Ba Zhen is a good means." Gu Yangsi exclaimed with an embarrassed face, the meaning of Fang Cai Ba Yueze's glance was self-evident, and he must have been a little dissatisfied with the careful thinking of himself and others.
"Ahem, indeed." Lu Lie also hurriedly agreed, Ba Hong has always been kind to him, and this time he called people from afar, which was really a bit excessive.
Ba Hong didn't say a word, looked up at Ba Yueze's figure, and couldn't see any expression.
Ba Yueze's figure soon reached the sky above the city of Qianli, such a high distance, ordinary arrows could not reach, he had nothing to worry about.
Suddenly, dozens of red arrows flew up from the city, not only blocking Ba Yueze's way, but also blocking them in all directions, forming a large net of arrows.
Could this be the legendary sky-shaking bow, Ba Yueze secretly thought in his heart, and smiled contemptuously, Xiao Doyle, he still wants to hurt himself by this means.
With a wave of his right hand, a fierce qi flew out, ready to sweep away these annoying arrows like flies.
Boom, boom, as soon as the gang qi touched the arrows, these arrows exploded one after another, and sparks exploded in the air.
It's not good, Ba Yueze was secretly frightened in his heart, his feet slammed violently, and his body suddenly changed direction, trying to avoid these ant-like arrows. His body moved, and suddenly a thick arrow roared like thunder and lightning, and went straight in front of him, with a long turbulence behind the arrow.
Ba Yueze suddenly changed color, this arrow can definitely hurt himself, at this time, his body moved, and it was very difficult to turn again. Frightened, Ba Yueze mobilized the blood and qi of his whole body, and his feet were slammed again, and he forcibly stopped his castration.
But with such a sharp change of direction in the air, even if he felt very struggling, his legs had become dark and blue, and blood beads were oozing out. It should have been the body that suddenly suffered such a great force and tore the skin.
Boom, the white arrow exploded, and another sun appeared in the sky.
Seeing that he could no longer avoid it, Ba Yueze crossed his arms in front of him, and an invisible potential field suddenly appeared around his body, blocking the aftermath of the explosion.
But after a moment's pause, before he could come back to his senses, those red arrows swarmed again, and the air suddenly thundered, and dense explosions came one after another.
From time to time, a white arrow flew in, blocking Ba Yueze's way, making it impossible for him to escape the encirclement of these arrows.
Even though the martial arts field seems to be a world of its own, there is a limit in the end. In the face of such a powerful oppression, Ba Yueze finally couldn't resist it, and was blown up and down like catkins in the wind.
In a panic, Ba Yueze had to fight to get some injuries, desperately break through the blocking of the arrows, and fly towards himself. Finally getting rid of the pursuit of these arrows, Ba Yueze staggered to the ground, and rushed back to his camp after a few steps.
Looking at Ba Yueze, who was in tatters and bleeding from time to time, the people present were a little speechless for a while.
When you go, you are in high spirits, but when you return, you are miserable, and you can't even comfort you.
The corners of Bahong's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly urged the horse to step forward, "Calm down and take some medicine for injuries." ”
"Yes, yes, Ba Zhenfu is alone to meet the enemy, it is really for me to wait for me, and it is appropriate to heal quickly." Lu Lie hurriedly beckoned his own soldiers to send wound medicine.
"I'm not seriously injured, but the thief's bow is really sharp, and the range is so long, it's really hard to resist." I don't know if it was because he was blown up by arrows, Ba Yueze's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, "But I just glanced at it, the northern army relied on the strong city, and the formation was very thick, and it was forced to pick up a small city next to the city of Qianli, and there were several large villages behind, and a large number of flying stone vehicles were placed near the earthen wall, and a lot of fences were also erected on the west side."
In addition to these, the mound near the south of the city is also crowded, and there should be a lot of people. As for the city of Huli, it is heavily guarded on all four walls, and there are countless strong bows and crossbows. ”
After listening to Ba Yueze's words, everyone was silent for a while, as he said, in just a few days, Wu Gen took advantage of the terrain to temporarily build a small city. Along the way, although many cities have been captured, the defenders are only four or five thousand at most, and it is not difficult to fight.
Since ancient times, it has not been easy to siege the city, or there will be no ten sieges, and it is the first time to encounter so many city defense teams, which makes the people in charge of each family scratch their heads a little. Moreover, Ba Yueze glanced at it in a hurry, and did not see the layout of the whole city, where to fight, and how many troops everywhere were not easy to distribute and arrange.
"Send the pawn bird out, and carefully investigate the situation in the city, and then make a decision." Lu Lie saw that everyone was silent, and as the leader of the alliance, he had to order reconnaissance first, and then assign the siege task.
Soon, five Danghu birds flew up and flew towards the city of Uri. Although Wu Gan deceived a lot of birds, but the coalition forces searched around this time, and got more than 30 birds, because the number is too small, it is used for reconnaissance on weekdays.
The birds flew much higher than usual, apparently trying to avoid the arrows of the Heaven-Shaking Bow below.
But as soon as he arrived near the head of the city, he saw more than 20 birds flying up from the other party, led by a big bird with blue feathers and red tails, which was very vicious, and the momentum stopped these birds, tearing and biting. For a time, the birds in the air chirped loudly, and the feathers flew wildly.
What's more, the soldiers of the Northern Army were numerous, and after shooting and killing several allied soldiers and one Danghu, they actually captured four Danghu Birds and slowly flew towards the west of the city.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Lu Lie, Ba Hong and others were even more speechless, Wu Gan's danghu bird was sent by himself at the beginning. The opponent's Righteous Eagle Army is obviously in the weather, which means that the sky has been occupied by the Northern Army, and it may face arrows falling from the sky at any time.
"Let's talk about it, how to fight." Lu Lie jumped off the horse, temporarily set up a small tent, and beckoned several people in charge to enter.
Bu Kuan sighed, and used a tree branch to roughly draw the terrain of the city, "Young master, the city has been built for many years, and it may be difficult to attack the city directly, I would like to divide the troops into three ways, two ways to feint the mound in the south of the city, and the main force to storm the temporary earthen wall in the middle." The terrain here is low, and it is easy for our cavalry to speed up the attack. By breaking through these earthen walls, we can cut off the connection between the city and the mound, and it shouldn't be difficult for me to divide and attack them again, and it shouldn't be difficult to take two places. ”
Gu Jiazhen Fu Gu dared to glance at Bu Kuan, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "The middle earthen wall is certainly its defensive weakness, but it is within the range of the fortified cities and mounds on both sides, and Brother Fang Cai also said that there are military villages and stone throwing cities behind the earthen wall, and it may not be easy to attack." ”
"It's not easy to fight, and another way is to attack the mound, feint and attack the others, and then attack the earth wall, from south to north all the way to the city of Qianli. The advantage of this is that it can concentrate its forces, and it has the spare strength to allocate a part of the troops to block the possible reinforcements of the Yugoslav army. Cang Yu suggested on the side.
"Can we bypass this city, monitor with a force, and the rest of the men and horses go straight to Cold Land City." Cang Yi asked on the side.
Everyone didn't answer after hearing this, but Cang Yu explained to his young master, "It stands to reason that it is possible, but it is appropriate to leave as many people as possible, Hanlu City is the main city of the province, and it is not easy to capture." If there are too few people and horses left, Wu Gen will take the opportunity to cut off our grain route, and these tens of thousands of horses will probably collapse without a fight. ”
Gu Yangsi sighed, and pointed to the outline of the city on the ground, "This battle is nothing more than the two methods of attacking the two ends of the main battle, or the middle earthen wall, the siege is a dumb battle, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, I'm afraid there will be no results in the discussion, it's better to actually try, anyway, we have a lot of people, please Brother Lu make a decision." ”
Lu Lie looked at Bu Kuan, it was really difficult to choose, and finally slapped his thigh, "I intend to attack the earth wall first, cut the opponent's front, and then separate to pull out the mound and the city of Yuanli." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
