Chapter 133: The Old Man Who Broke the City Broke His Head Severed
"You...... You shameless, you actually sneak attacked!" Mo Cangli reprimanded with a frightened look on his command.
Wu Feng's shot did have a great impact on this battle.
The sixty elite horsemen under Dai Xiaolou's command are now exhausted, and their destructive power in the camp is far inferior to the two hundred armor soldiers of Mo Cangli.
These two hundred armor soldiers were at a time when morale was high, and if Mo Cangli could take the time to hold back another tactic, the soldiers in the camp who were difficult to form a formation because of the crowding would suffer heavy losses.
In Middle-earth, muskets were still very uncommon, and were generally used only for hunting, and were rarely used in warfare. Therefore, Mo Cangli was completely unprepared for Wu Feng's sniping.
"On the battlefield, everything is about striving for victory, what shamelessness can it be said?" Wu Feng said dignifiedly: "Besides, if you wait for the night attack first, how can you ask my generation to abide by the rules of fighting alone?"
Everyone was amazed by Wu Feng's behavior, and one by one they couldn't help but cheer in unison. Yes, on the battlefield, what is shameless about a sneak attack?
Hua Zongdai also let out a long laugh, and with a wave of the big sword in his hand, the soldiers of Deng Aihou's army rushed towards the leaderless Mo Cangli armor soldiers!
Wu Feng grabbed people's heads, but Hua Zongdai had no resentment. Wu Feng could see that unlike Deng Aihou, who was wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, Hua Zongdai was indeed a benevolent person, so he gave priority to the outcome of the war and shot Mo Cangli.
If he directly robbed Deng Aihou's exploits, maybe Deng Aihou would feel that he had cut his face and was jealous.
Mo Cangli died in battle, and a group of elite armor soldiers also became headless flies scurrying all over the ground under the onslaught of the tide from all directions, and scattered indiscriminately.
Deng Rong, who was fighting fiercely with his son Deng Aihou, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry and infantry to retreat together with Dai Xiaolou.
The leaders of the Hao clan were about to lead their troops to besiege them, but they saw Deng Aihou wave his hand and stop them all.
The army faintly vacated a road, and Deng Rong took the remnants of the night attack and flew away from the inner road.
Hua Zongdai waved his army up, pretended to cover up for a while, and cut off two people's heads and came back.
"Hall Master, if we take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's armor team, and the cavalry team is blocked by the armor team, we can completely annihilate the cavalry team, even if we can't leave the shadow warrior Si Renping, we can at least cut off Dai Xiaolou's head, why ......" A wealthy clan leader asked.
"If this battle beats Si Renping too hard, Si Renping will definitely go all out to break through. The ancients surrounded it, but if our army was not counted as a militia, the soldiers were only more than twice as many as the enemy's, and they might be rushed out by Si Renping. Therefore, he only thwarted Si Renping's night attack, and let him go, which made Si Renping think that our army was not enough, and his spirit was exhausted. Tomorrow, our army will attack the city with all its might, and it will be completely annihilated in one battle!" Deng Aihou said.
Wu Feng said in his heart, this person is indeed not a completely unscrupulous person, but there is one biggest problem - if he kills all Deng Rong's followers, Iwakura Hall will inevitably be greatly injured, and it will become more and more meat in other people's bowls.
Deng Rong led the remnants of the defeated army and returned to the city, and the guards at the city gate had already taken them back.
This night attack can be said to be a complete failure. However, Deng Rong brought back most of the men and horses, giving people the impression that this night attack was just a failure, and it seemed to show that Deng Aihou's army was already at the end of its power.
In Deng Rong's opinion: The outbreak of civil war in the Iwakura Hall must not last too long. Even if Deng Aihou can continue to urge the soldiers to attack the city a few days later, Su Mengzhen will intervene.
At this time, Deng Aihou's only way was to negotiate peace with Deng Rong, and he would inevitably confront Deng Rong in front of the envoy of the Shentang to see whether Deng Rong was Si Renping or himself.
It can be said that Deng Rong did not believe that Deng Aihou might capture his home city in the next day or two.
However, the time left for Deng Aihou was only a day or two. If a civil war with a small force cannot be completed in a few days, it will inevitably invite the intervention of a larger external force.
......
The dawn of the morning light illuminated the faces of the warriors.
Deng Aihou looked up at the rising sun in winter, on the horizon, scattered like a line of fire.
"It's time for a general attack. Deng Aihou said in a majestic voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the destruction of the city is today. Calm down the rebellion, everyone will have a reward!" Hua Zongdai shouted to boost morale.
Deng Aihou once again personally led the archery team out of the battle and shot indiscriminately in the direction of the city.
The archers at the head of the city drew their bows one after another, and launched a confrontation with the archers under the command of Deng Aihou, and the arrows came and went in the air, weaving a large net, and screams came out from time to time.
Deng Aihou's eyes were condensed, his consciousness turned, and he paid close attention to the fighting spirit of the soldiers, ready to wait for the opportunity to launch another "ghost rain" of tactics.
However, at this moment, a loud shout came from the city.
"Let's all buckle the bowstring together! The power of the wind pierces all obstacles!"
The long wind howled in the blue sky, sending neat arrows, and the arrows shot by the archers of Deng Aihou's army were blown out of accuracy and fell into the ground one after another, while the sharp arrows of the defenders roared more and more like lightning, with the power of the wind, surging like a tide on the head of Deng Aihou's army.
Beginner Archer Tactics - Volley!
Arrows raining down on the archers and blossomed into countless fierce flesh and blood flowers, dazzling in the morning light.
This brilliant curtain of blood is accompanied by a heart-rending scream.
The combat method "salvo" can mobilize the power of the wind, coupled with the condescending advantage, the powerful arrow power instantly penetrated the leather armor of more than ten people under Deng Aihou's command, nailed them to the ground, and more than ten people were seriously injured!
Deng Aihou was taken aback, but he didn't expect the other side to launch a battle method earlier.
The lower the level of tactics, the less fighting spirit is required to launch. Moreover, standing on a high place opposite is also easier to accumulate fighting spirit.
What's worse is that several archers in the key parts of the archer formation were shot to death, causing the fighting spirit that Deng Aihou's team of archers had managed to accumulate directly in the air, and the ghost rain could not be released directly.
The soldiers in the city could also feel the loss of Deng Aihou's fighting spirit, and cheered in unison!
Deng Aihou said angrily: "Rush the convoy and attack!"
"Order!" Among the four generals of the Iwakura Palace, Hua Xiaolian and Cloud Dao Master, with a team, pushed several huge rushing carts and forced towards the city gate!
The punch is made of hardwood, with a punch inlaid with fine iron and a shield on the wings, which are inlaid with precious crystals to enhance its firmness.
Around the rushing car, there are fighters armed with large iron rods in charge of wing protection.
Rumble!
In the midst of the flying arrows, the first rushing car first crashed into the thick city gates.
The city gate let out a roar and crumbled, and the power of the martial soul array immediately emanated, and the golden light burst out, dissolving the momentum.
And at this moment, the leader of the archers in the city, Xuyuan Xuan, also shouted: "Quickly pour the boulder and boiling oil down!"
Huge boulders and boiling oil poured down from the tall walls and pressed down on the convoy.
But the brawlers wielded iron sticks to push the boulders away, and some of them were agile, holding thick stone slabs to block the boiling oil, allowing the oil to fall into the empty space.
But even so, there are people who are hit by boulders, their heads are broken and bleeding, and they are killed on the spot, or they are splashed with boiling oil, their skin is rotten, their skin is rotten, they scream incessantly, and they roll on the ground, and the situation is unbearable.
Deng Aihou personally commanded the archers, and Hua Zongdai replaced him in the Chinese army, and there were constantly reserves sent to the front of the city gate to replenish the losses, and a large number of militia rushed forward as cannon fodder.
The same was killed by falling rocks and boiling oil, and the lives of the militia were not so important.
Bang!
A rushing car was hit by three boulders at the same time, and it was finally unable to resist it, and it was reduced to iron sheets and wood chips and fell apart.
Seeing that the wheels were still intact, Hua Xiaosheng immediately ordered the sappers to remove them and replace them with the rushing cars behind, and several rushing vehicles slammed into the city gate at the same time.
"Damn it......" the void abyss in the city.
The protective capacity of the Martial Soul Array is limited, and if Deng Aihou launches a more ferocious salvo to contain the power of the Martial Soul Array, combined with the blow of the stone thrower, the city gate may be knocked open by the ferocious impact of the rushing car.
Even the city wall may be knocked down directly! Even if the city wall is extremely strong, it is not a monolith, but a stone brick, and it may be destroyed after all.
The reason why the Shuzhong Sword Pavilion is known as a natural hazard is because it is flanked by two stone mountains formed entirely by naturally generated boulders, and a small gap in the middle is used to build a pass. The two stone mountains face north and are 90-degree high cliffs, which are two extremely high city walls formed naturally!
Deng Rong stood high on the tower of the inner city and shouted: "The reserve team listens to the order and enters the battle!"
Before the words fell, Hua Xiaosheng laughed and said, "Brothers work together, collide!"
An angry dragon-like aura swept out of Hua Xiaoxiao's body, turning into a strong energy storm and blessing all the rushing cars.
Several rushing vehicles accelerated at the same time, slamming into the thick city gate, and the energy gathered together like a vortex.
An earth-shattering explosion was born at the edge of the city gate, and the dazzling fire was like ten days blooming!
Siege weapon tactics - city gate blasting!
Where the firelight fell, I saw the huge fine iron city gate, which had been completely deformed and collapsed inward, and the materials stored inside the urn city could be seen. Really crumbling!
Deng Rong was shocked and shouted: "Reserves, hurry up to the urn city and pile up stones to resist the city gate!"
And Deng Aihou waved his hand: "General attack on all fronts!"
The moat had been filled in yesterday, and the piranhas had all been crushed and buried in the earth. At this moment, groups of soldiers carrying ladders rushed up like swarming ants.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached, the archers all went over to shoot at the rushing car squads whose defense had been reduced by activating tactics. The rushing squad suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
However, they neglected the defense of the city walls because of this.
Deng Aihou put down his longbow, held a long sword, took the lead, rose up, and jumped directly onto the city wall!
Even if his cultivation is extremely high, when he leaps to the highest point, the master is also very weak, as long as he uses the protective power of the formation path and the martial soul array, he can shoot a round of bows and arrows in a volley or indiscriminate spear stabbing, so that Deng Aihou will not die but also be seriously injured.
It's just that Deng Aihou's previous arrow team rushed to the car with a round of random punches, which attracted most of the defender's strength.
He had unknowingly transferred part of Deng Sanshi's troops in the fierce battle before, forming his own absolute superiority in front of this city gate.
The militia and infantry charged at the same time, mixed together, and rushed to the walls regardless of casualties!
However, at this moment, the defenders of the city were shocked by the huge disparity in numbers, and even more so because the city gates were severely damaged.
Deng Aihou slashed out with a sword, slashed two archers in a row, and even knocked a ghost-headed guillotine on the head of the city and flew out sideways!
The leader of the archers, Xuan Yuanxuan, was engrossed in shooting the siege convoy with all his might, and he was completely unguarded, and was suddenly swept by the guillotine.
The ghost-headed guillotine had jagged teeth, just like a demon with a sharp mouth, only to see the huge guillotine flying out horizontally, but seeing the blood splashing, Xuyuan Xuan's head was directly bitten off, and he couldn't live anymore
