Chapter 22: Defending the city with crossbows and ten thousand arrows
γDing! Detected that the host is being attacked by the White Wave Army, triggering two options. γ
[Option 1: Stick to the city and wait for work, reward: 10,000 stone grain. γ
[Option 2: Take the initiative to attack and inflict heavy damage on the enemy, reward: 10,000 taels of silver.] γ
The magnetic voice of the system sounded in Liu Wei's mind, and he was given two important options.
Liu Wei fell into deep thought.
He has the power of the overlord in his body, and the two generals Zhang Liao and Xu Rong are beside him, and he leads 2,000 soldiers under his command to defeat the 5,000 soldiers of Geng Jian, the general of the Baibo Army, and the possibility of victory is very high.
But after all, the number of their own soldiers is small, and even if they win, the losses will be quite serious.
Again, now that Liu Wei's troops are scarce, some losses must be avoided if they can avoid them.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei asked Zhang Liao on the side: "Wen Yuan, Lone asked you to train crossbowmen, how did you train?" β
Zhang Liao clenched his fists and replied: "Your Highness, the last general has trained all the 1,000 soldiers under his command into crossbowmen, and I dare not say that everyone has 100 shots, but it is still okay to have 8 shots out of 10." β
"In addition, the repeater given by His Highness is very useful, it can fire dozens of sharp arrows at a time, and the last general's 1,000 crossbowmen can almost replace 10,000 archers."
Hearing this, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction,
In this case, then hold on to the city, and wait until the White Polish army is tired of attacking the city, and then go out of the city to counterattack and give it a fatal blow!
"System, I'll choose one."
γDing! If the selection is successful, the food reward will be distributed after the host has repelled the invading White Polish Army. γ
Immediately, Liu Wei ordered that the people living outside Hongnong City should be temporarily moved to the city to avoid being persecuted by the soldiers of the Baibo Army.
In addition, he ordered Xu Rong to lead a thousand soldiers under his command to ambush in the houses where the people lived outside the city, and wait until Geng Jian's army was tired from attacking the city, and cut off the retreat of the Baibo army, so as to completely annihilate the enemy army.
After all the deployments were completed, Liu Wei quietly waited for Geng Jian to lead the troops......
When Geng Jian led the troops to the city, he found Liu Wei standing on top of the city tower, looking at him condescendingly.
Because Liu Wei was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, Geng Jian recognized him at a glance.
Geng Jian said angrily: "Liu Weixiaoer, come out quickly, I will kill you and avenge General Hu Jun." β
Liu Wei sneered: "What do you think you are, you have to go out if you let Lone go out?" β
Geng Jian was even more annoyed when he heard this, and ordered his soldiers to forcibly attack the city.
But as soon as the soldiers of the Baibo Army began to move, Zhang Liao on the upper floor of Hongnong City waved his hand and ordered his crossbowmen to buckle the crossbows in their hands.
In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired.
Yes! Yes!
The thousands of soldiers of the White Polish Army who rushed to the front did not rush to the city gate, and they were shot into hedgehogs by a rain of arrows.
In the blink of an eye, the five thousand soldiers led by Geng Jian lost one thousand, and only four thousand remained.
Geng Jian gasped.
Because the forward troops were wiped out, the follow-up Bai Bo Army did not dare to continue to charge, but retreated to Geng Jian's side and asked: "General, what should we do next?" β
Geng Jian was silent, and now he is also a little numb in his scalp.
Forcibly attacking the city will definitely not work, Liu Wei is condescending, and he has the bow and crossbow that can be fired continuously, even if all these soldiers under his command rush up, it will not be enough to send people to the head.
After thinking about it, Geng Jian decided to use the method of agitation, that is, to keep shouting and scolding outside the city, so as to provoke Liu Wei to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
So, he ordered his soldiers to start scolding as ugly as they were:
"Liu Wei, come out quickly, don't hide in the city like a turtle."
"Liu Wei, you can even lose the throne, are you still not a man? If it's a man, come out and fight us to the death! β
