Chapter 130: Ghost Rain

"Let's start attacking the city!" Deng Aihou waved his hand, and he was arrogant.

Under the command of the leaders of the Hao clan, the militia prepared behind the battle was like a swarm of ants, carrying various siege tools, and rushed towards the city wall.

Generally speaking, unless there is an extreme shortage of soldiers, the militia will not be in the same position as the official samurai. The militia is poorly cultivated, cannot exude sufficient combat spirit on the battlefield, is too poorly trained, and lacks coordination, which will affect the efficiency of the entire military formation when the formation path and tactics are covered.

Therefore, the militia is generally responsible for transporting supplies such as food in long-distance battles, and is used as cannon fodder to fill in moats or build siege weapons during sieges.

The militiamen rushed from all directions in the direction of the moat, carrying dirt bags.

It's just a few thousand people, and it looks like it's all over the mountains and everywhere.

The archers of the city set up arrows one after another, and a rain of arrows poured down from the top of the city with a brilliant golden light.

There is also a powerful bed crossbow, which shoots large arrows wrapped in flames, and explodes when it encounters any tangible substance, sometimes shooting at many places, directly causing four or five casualties.

After the militia threw the sacs into the river, they flew away and carried new ones to reduce the chance of their bows and arrows.

Although there are countless legends of archers, in reality in real battles, the accuracy of archers is very low.

Otherwise, if they can really kill an enemy with one arrow, no amount of soldiers can resist the archers defending the city.

Even so, however, because the walls provided a greater superiority, the militia who worked hard to fill the moat still suffered heavy casualties.

The moat of the divided city is not as wide as the main city, and there are no crocodiles in it. But when a militiaman was hit by an arrow and fell into the river, he saw many white shadows coming along the breath of blood and gathering up, but in a few breaths, the militia was eaten until only a white bone remained!

Although there are no crocodiles in this river that can come ashore to attack, they are also rich in ferocious piranhas!

The overseers were in the rear with crossbows, and when they saw that a militia was about to flee, they immediately shot them with crossbows.

It's just that Deng Aihou knew that if he just let the militia die, his morale would inevitably plummet and he would not be able to sustain the battle for a long time.

"Infantry, keep an eye on the city gates to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall again. Archers, come with me!" Deng Aihou said in a loud voice.

Four hundred archers left the formation with Deng Aihou, bent their bows and arrows into the sky, and launched a counterfire against the archers on the city wall!

In terms of numbers, the archers on Deng Aihou's side have an absolute advantage. After all, the regular samurai in the city, after all, only had a little more than a thousand people in total, and they had to defend two different gates.

However, the enemy has a large lethal weapon such as a bed crossbow, which has a condescending advantage, and when the archers on the city head shoot, there are also pheasant moats to protect their bodies and reduce the hit rate of the attacking archers. Although the number of archers on Deng Aihou's side was large, they were completely suppressed in the counter-shooting.

The archers are shooting separately in the siege, lacking the formation, so it is difficult to get a bonus to the defense, the arrows falling from the sky are powerful, and the leather armor is difficult to block, and from time to time there are archers on the side of Deng Aihou who are hit by arrows and fall to the ground and die.

It was only the process of firing that attracted most of the firepower of the archers in the city, allowing the militia to fill the moat with fewer casualties.

"The enemy has bed crossbows, and we also have stone throwers!" Hua Zongdai said: "Siege technician team, prepare!"

A group of professional siege technicians led the militia team to quickly set up the stone throwing machine, and even placed a shield to prevent arrows in front.

The huge boulder of the millstone, like a landslide, poured towards the city.

However, a brilliant golden light immediately emitted from the top of the city, which was the power of the Martial Spirit Array!

The golden light wrapped one boulder after another. The long song of the ancient war spirit sounded in the wind, and the thunder danced, directly blasting several boulders into powder.

The stones that fell on the top of the city were also dissolved by the impact, falling like feathers, and were pushed into the moat by the soldiers defending the city, or they bounced back directly and smashed on the ground, splashing dust and mud all over the ground.

Wu Feng was thinking about the use of this trebuchet, but he only heard Deng Aihou yelling: "Increase the intensity of bombardment!"

More stone-throwing machines were erected, and countless boulders rained down on the city, but mostly in vain, and some of them bounced back and injured their own militia.

The militiamen all looked frustrated.

However, Deng Aihou shouted: "Good opportunity!"

He said solemnly: "The formation power of the enemy city has been mostly restrained by the stone thrower. Archers, how good is your fighting spirit, let them see the power of our bows!"

I saw Deng Aihou's eyes flickering, and a cold breath burst out.

There seems to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in his eyes, a scene of a ghost domain!

The training of the archers was not coordinated, but at this moment, under the huge momentum emanating from Deng Aihou's body, their lives and souls seemed to be connected together!

In just a few breaths, the archers set up arrows together, and with similar strength, shot the arrows into the long air, straight to the head of the city!

The dense rain of arrows weaved a large net in the sky, and the gloomy black air connected with the war clouds in the sky, and the clouds seemed to take on a dark color.

The sound of ghosts roaring, above the city, but seeing ten thousand magic phantoms dancing together, covering the golden luster of the formation!

A sea of blood spread, engulfing the soldiers on the city, in the sea of blood, the bones are endless, the corpses are pillowed, and there are fierce crows in the middle of it, like the most terrible hell!

When all the illusions fell, the city also turned into a real sea of blood, and more than a dozen archers turned into pus and blood in that blow, and there were no bones left, and more than 20 people were injured in their internal organs and lost their ability to fight!

A huge bed crossbow was also crushed by the surging force, and wood chips flew all over the sky.

"Look, this is the power of the ghost rain!" Deng Aihou shouted.

Wu Feng finally understood why Deng Aihou, as the lord of the first hall, wanted to lead the archers, and his tactics were actually "ghost rain"!

Ghost Rain was created by the ancient sword saint Ang Lee, and was taken from a poem written by Ang Lee:

"The heroes of the world are out of my generation, and they are urged by the years of entering the rivers and lakes.

The emperor is talking and laughing, and he is more drunk than life.

Lifting a sword and riding to wave the ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying in shock.

The world is like a tide, people are like water, only sigh a few people in the rivers and lakes!"

The effect of this tactic is that, in addition to providing multiplier lethality and rate of fire during the activation of the tactic, it can also ignore the effect of the formation during the siege, directly kill and injure enemy soldiers, and reduce the morale and fighting spirit of the enemy army with the spirit of the netherworld!

Of course, if the arrow hits the pheasant wall caused by the stone, it will still not be destroyed, and it will still bounce back or pierce into the crevices of the stone. Only the legendary strongest bow and arrow method "Heavenly Bow" can directly destroy the city wall on a large scale.

Wu Feng is still a young man, and he can't understand the meaning of Luotuo's sigh in this poem, but he is only shocked by the turbulent momentum and the tragedy of the corpse mountain and blood river, and admires the majesty of the emperor's hegemony in the poem.

And now, he has truly seen the terrifying power of the Ghost Rain Tactic.

As long as you accumulate fighting spirit and launch a few more ghost rains, I am afraid that you will be able to kill the archers on the city completely!
