At this time, the middle-aged scribe sitting on Wei Yue's left side smiled and said, "Dashuai's words are also said here, you can just hear it, don't spread it casually!"

He looks like he is in his forties, his face is thin and looks ordinary, but his eyes are crystal clear, his Confucian shirt looks quite elegant, and he also holds an unseasonal seven-tailed feather fan in his hand.

Although his words seemed to have no weight, none of the arrogant soldiers present dared not listen to them, because this middle-aged scribe was Wei Yue's most trusted staff division, Gongsun Hong, and he was also a powerful qi refiner.

A young officer immediately stood up and said in a high-spirited manner: "Great Marshal, after the civil strife in the Shangguan family, there are only more than 20,000 guards in Lingyang City who can be used now, and the morale is relatively low, we now have an army of 100,000, and there are 70,000 reinforcements coming, and the strength is definitely overwhelming the opponent!"

"The most important thing is that our internal agents have successfully burned down the guards' baggage warehouses, and their oil bombs and fire charms are almost completely lost, and it is impossible to replenish them in a short time, so what can they use to stop our siege chariots?"

The more the officer spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes flashed with a dazzling light, and he raised his arms high and shouted: "We should attack Ling Yang with all our strength while the Great Yan reinforcements have not yet arrived, and we must not give them any chance to delay, this eclipse is being destroyed today!"

Another veteran officer frowned, and couldn't help but retort: "Lingyang is a fortress city, even if we have enough siege vehicles, the price we pay will definitely not be small." The Flying Tiger Legion is the brainchild of the commander, how can it be consumed in the siege?"

The young officer opened his mouth to show a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, and said with a sneer: "Our Flying Tiger Legion is the main force, of course, we must make a final decision at the most critical moment, the battle in front is still for the Cheng Xia army to fight, they Cheng Xia eat our Da Chu and drink our Da Chu, now is the time to return!"

The old officer felt a chill in his heart. This is completely to fill tens of thousands of Cheng Xia soldiers as cannon fodder, although this is also expected, but the other party is so naked. Will it cause disgust among friendly forces?

Although Chengxia is a vassal state dependent on Great Chu, the army is not a direct subordinate relationship after all, can the generals of the other party obey the death order of the Flying Tiger Army?

"That's how it should be!" Wei Yue said lightly.

That's when everyone understood. The marshal of his own family has already made up his mind, and it is not really necessary to discuss it when he summons everyone over.

They also noticed that none of the generals present were from the side of the Cheng Xia army.

The old officer trembled in his heart, and hurriedly retreated back to his place, not daring to say anything more.

Wei Yue stood up and said with great ambition: "When the siege vehicle is ready, we will attack immediately, and we must capture Lingyang within ten days, who dares to slack off and cower, military law will act!"

All the generals were awe-inspiring in their hearts. Qi Qi got up and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I am willing to die for the handsome!"

Wei Yue immediately laughed, and the laughter containing the power of true qi spread far away through the big tent...... With the continuous arrival of the follow-up army, the war monster of the Flying Tiger Legion launched its operation at a faster speed, and the siege vehicles dozens of feet high were quickly completed with the efforts of craftsmen and baggage soldiers.

Siege engines are large weapons of war, and their construction is quite complex. The Flying Tiger Legion brought a large number of key core components from Dachu, and the external frame supports were very convenient to use local materials, so it only took one day and one night to add hundreds of siege vehicles on the plain.

This kind of equipment, which can almost reach the outer wall of Lingyang City, is a great threat to the people guarding the city, and the momentum of hundreds of siege vehicles gathered together is even more amazing.

After completing the first siege vehicles. The Flying Tiger Legion did not rush forward, but first sent hundreds of heavy ballistae, and quickly approached the southern city wall under the cover of shield holders.

The south of Lingyang City is an open plain, so the southern city wall is naturally the focus of the Flying Tiger Legion's attack.

"What are they going to do here?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

He, Li Jin, Yan Qing, and a group of guard generals were all on the city wall, watching the enemy push out a large number of ballistas.

Li Jin sneered: "This is an old trick of the Chu army, called the Thousand Crossbow Car Formation, which is specially used to suppress our soldiers and heavy crossbows, and can also test our defensive strength!"

He drew his sword and shouted: "The guards obey the order and prepare to fight!"

"Whoa!"

Li Jin's roar echoed in everyone's ears like thunder, and the thousands of guard soldiers guarding the southern city wall echoed in unison, and they all picked up their weapons and began to wind the ballista.

After Li Jin gave the order, he said to Qin Yun: "Qin Shaoxia, the ballista arrows of the Chu army are very powerful, even if it is an innate powerhouse, it can't resist the shooting of a hundred and ten arrows, you must be careful, don't be careless!"

The current Qin Yun can be said to be the savior of the Wei Army, without the talisman he refined, Li Jin really didn't have much confidence that he would be able to hold on to Ling Yang for half a month.

Qin Yun patted the sunset bow placed beside him, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my life is very hard!"

Whew, whew!

As soon as his words fell, ten ballistae of the Chu army thousands of steps away were fired at the same time, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards the city wall with a roaring speed!

However, the distance was still too far, and the arrows had lost their power at a distance of two or three hundred paces, and they fell from the sky one after another, posing no threat.

Li Jin snorted coldly: "This is a test distance, pass my order, and launch ten stone bombs with eighty percent force to return!"

Boom!

A moment later, the catapult deployed behind the city wall exerted its strength, and at the same time threw ten stone bullets weighing 100 catties and flew towards the outside of the city, smashing heavily into the open space with a muffled sound.

On the city walls, there were special samurai who were responsible for inspecting the landing point of the catapult and promptly informing the catapult riders below for them to adjust their strength and angle.

The orderly scene opened Qin Yun's eyes, if he hadn't experienced it personally, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that there was so much knowledge in the simple defense of the city.

The threat of a few stone bullets obviously could not frighten the crossbow formation of the Chu army, and they maintained their original speed to advance a hundred, two hundred, and three hundred steps, and finally stopped at a distance of nearly seven hundred steps from the city wall.

At this distance, only heavy crossbows and catapults could effectively threaten the other side, but Li Jin did not give the order to attack, but just kept ordering the soldiers to prepare for defense.

Yan Qing explained to Qin Yun that this was to avoid prematurely exposing the position and number of his own vehicle formation, knowing that heavy equipment such as catapults would not easily move once fixed, and protection was extremely important.

Most of the guards retreated behind the battlements, their shields raised above the air, and only a few of the strongest men of the army were still watching the enemy's movements.

Airplanes!

Suddenly, there was a strange roar from a distance, and hundreds of ballista carts of the Chu army shot thousands of crossbow arrows in unison, forming a dense cloud in the air, whistling towards the city wall!

Looking at the incoming arrows, Qin Yun's pupils shrank, and he immediately dodged and hid behind a safe battlement.

The Innate Protective Body True Qi may be able to block a few dozen of these crossbow arrows, but it will definitely not be able to withstand continuous attacks, and the strength that the Innate Strong can exert in the duel of thousands of troops is actually quite limited.

Smack!

In just an instant, the arrows flashing black light landed on the city wall, and the sharp metal arrows hit the wall bricks and shields with strong force, making a crackling sound.

Some of the hapless Guards were not well protected, and unfortunately they were hit by arrows, and they fell to the ground screaming.

Li Jin was the first to jump out from behind the wall battlement, and shouted: "Heavy crossbow to fight back, kill these bitches!"

The blood of their comrades and the rude rebuke of the commander seemed to ignite the blood of the guards in an instant, and they rushed out of safety, ripped off the camouflage covering the ballista, and pulled the trap towards the enemy!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hundreds of equally sharp crossbow arrows flew towards the enemy, and due to the absolute superiority in height, the same heavy crossbow could shoot farther and be more powerful.

The crossbow riders and shield bearers of the Chu army fell in large pieces as if they had been swept by a strong wind.

They were in no danger on the plains, and the shieldmen and ballistae had limited protection, and the casualties were definitely much greater than the guards defending the city!

But the other crossbow riders paid no attention to the casualties of their comrades, and they indifferently turned their winches, loaded their crossbow arrows, and continued to attack the walls.

In the back and forth of the two sides, Qin Yun quickly mastered the firing law of the enemy's crossbow arrows, and he did not hesitate to raise the Sunset Divine Bow and join in this duel.

This time, Qin Yun was no longer using the wind-chasing arrow, but the heavy arrow specially refined for him by the craftsmen in the army, which not only exceeded the weight and size of ordinary arrows, but also mixed with precious dark iron.

This special arrow can withstand a strong infusion of true qi, Qin Yun pulled the sunset bow into a full moon and shot out, the range can reach an astonishing ** hundred steps, directly threatening the opponent's crossbow rider.

And the accuracy of Qin Yun's archery method is definitely not comparable to the heavy crossbow that relies on the number and power to win, an arrow shot will inevitably be accompanied by the death of an enemy soldier, and all the selected people don't even have a chance to dodge, and they have been pierced by arrows just after discovering the danger.

He walked back and forth on the city wall, dodging the enemy's crossbow arrows with the help of the wall battlements, and shooting the enemy troops through the gaps in the battlements, and in just half a column of incense, nearly twenty crossbow riders died under his arrows, and a dozen ballista cars were paralyzed!

Such a record may not be a big deal in the confrontation of thousands of troops, but for those Chu crossbow riders who stick to their positions, it is definitely a huge threat!
