Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 39 The First Day of the Fierce War

At the head of the city, Wu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, just staring at the city, his head slightly sideways, and a feathered arrow grazed his sideburns, nailed to the pillar of the city gate tower, and the tail feathers trembled and buzzed. He raised his hand and shot an arrow, killing a condor archer with a beard, and the momentum of the arrow directly caused the condor on the horse to fly out.

The crossbowmen at the top of the city leaned against the battlements and fired their arrows from the holes, while the infantry soldiers on the walls passed through the battlements with their heads bowed or bypassed the leaks, and the Yellow Turban archers under the walls lost their goals.

The car was pushed by the foot soldiers, and directly knocked the flying ladder away from the city wall, and the bearded man on the flying ladder screamed in horror, but it was to no avail, the flying ladder smashed heavily into the crowd with people, instantly taking away several people to report to Changshengtian, and smashing more than a dozen people at the same time.

Rolling logs, stones, and crossbow guns crashed into cars, so that the bearded men in leather robes and armed with scimitars could not effectively protect themselves. Moreover, they were not trained to withstand the onslaught of rolling stones and stones with their flesh and blood, nor could they resist the fire of crossbow guns. Like weeds, the Bearded Men are harvested by the Hawk Guards.

"Kill !!" "Kill !!" "Kill !!"

The blood stimulated the nerves of the Badheads, and the ruthless Mustards rushed frantically towards the city wall, and the cowardly Bearded Men unconsciously slowed down. The two sides of the city wall were close to each other, and the battlements were red with blood, and the blood oxidized and turned black. One after another, the bearded men fell above and below the walls, the bricks stained with dark red blood. The entire city wall of the Chicken Fortress has become a cemetery for the Bearded Man.

The defenders in the city had occupied the entire city wall at this time, and the dark armor of the Yongjun red line shone brightly in the sunlight. The Bearded Men under the city walls were on the verge of collapse, blood, stumps, tragic battlefield scenes, and a large number of casualties among their companions had caused their morale to fall to the bottom.

Some of them were too timid to control their legs, and unconsciously moved their steps backwards. However, the overseers were already standing behind them under the leadership of a left-sided prince, and at the feet of the overseers, there were more than a dozen corpses, all of which were escaped soldiers who had been killed on the spot. The left bone Duhou who led the team took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Those who retreat without authorization will be killed!! ”

Wu Mo carefully observed the situation of the Bearded Men outside the city, the first wave of Bearded Warriors who attacked the city had already been killed and wounded, and the shouts of killing at the city wall gradually weakened. In the distance, the Bearded Warlords were still standing, their scimitars shining with cold light.

He didn't let Wumo wait too long, and soon the horn sounded.

"Woo———"

A group of bearded men rushed over, this time in addition to the flying ladder, they also brought bumper logs, and more than 20 people carried thick logs, straight to the city gate.

Wumo shouted loudly, "Shoot the wood!" Shoot the wood! Don't let them near the gates! ”

Hearing Wumo's shout, dozens of archers drew their bows and arrows one after another, throwing them at the angle of elevation. The rain of arrows fell around the crashing wood, killing and wounding a dozen of the bearded soldiers, but it didn't do much, because soon a replacement ran over, lifted the collision wood again, and ran quickly towards the city gate.

The city gate was not blocked, there was only a huge Saimen knife cart behind it, and Wumo himself was not a person who only defended but did not attack. Holding a bow and arrow, Wu Mo personally shot an arrow at the side of the crashing wood, and before he could fully draw the bow, he saw a bright color running towards him quickly. At the same moment, a strong force came from behind him, pushing him to the side, and a shadow shone on his face.

Wu Mo looked up blankly, and saw Wang Rong raising his shield to resist the arrows. The sharp cluster of armor-piercing arrows failed to break through the steel plates on the shield, and the arrows and shafts broke off from the tremendous reaction force and fell to the ground.

Wang Rong looked at his shield, nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand and pulled up the black ink that had fallen to the ground.

"The enemy must be killed, and his own safety must also be taken seriously. It was the eagle archer of the bearded man just now, and it was really powerful, this arrow shocked my hands numb. ”

Wang Rong shook his arm and said with a hint of a smile.

Wu Mo looked at Wang Rong: "Duwei, why are you here?" And it came so fast. ”

Wang Rong glared at him and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how could I not come to such a grand scene." Besides, if I don't come, will you be able to dodge that arrow just now? ”

Wu Mo's eyes were full of hope, and he asked, "Captain, how many people have you brought?" Is it enough to give these bearded people a hard time? ”

Wang Bian slapped his iron arm, made a muffled sound of "dong", and said: "What do you want, it would be good to fight back and defend the city for me." By the way, why didn't you block the city gate, do you think you have a long life? ”

Wu Mo didn't dare to say a word when he was reprimanded, and Wang Rong let him go for the time being, because the Bearded Man was already close to the city wall. The 1,000 village soldiers who climbed the city wall and the 2,000 troops under the city wall took out their bows and arrows, and the 3,000 arrows were like a dark cloud, quickly sweeping across the sky, and then fell into the crowd besieging the city, setting off pieces of blood.

The change in the strength of the defense of the city was quickly transmitted to Hu Yanyun, the right general, who knew that there were reinforcements in this fortress. But as far as Shuofang County is concerned, there will not be too many of these troops, even if there are. He did not order a retreat, but then sent a wave of soldiers into the siege.

The continuous sound of horns resounded throughout the battlefield, and this wave of siege of the city was not five thousand but eight thousand, almost covering the canyon, all kinds of clothes, mixed with officers wearing leather armor, and the people who could wear iron armor were all officers above the corpse and bones.

Wang Wei stared carefully at the outside of the city, and in his hand was a bear-pattern winch crossbow improved by two masters, the crossbow machine was transformed into an all-steel machine, and the crossbow string was also a new experimental technology: using ox tendon as the main material, it was wound with steel wire to enhance the toughness of the crossbow string. Soon he saw a right-winged lieutenant, the reason why he could see it was because this person was wearing an all-iron armor, and he had a fox skin shawl, the fiery red fur, it was difficult not to be seen by Wang Rong, and this person was indeed brave, he took the lead, but he was unconscious when he was hit by several arrows.

Wang Rong guessed that this person should be wearing three layers of armor, covered with iron armor, wearing chain mail inside, and close-fitting leather armor. Even if the arrow pierces through the iron armor, it will be attached to the iron ring of the chain mail. Wang Rong turned the handle, the winch rotated to pull the crossbow string apart, and after the crossbow bolt was loaded, he aimed at the right lieutenant from the perforation, "Boom! - "The string of the crossbow springs back and shoots the bolt out." The right-winged lieutenant sensed the approaching crossbow arrow, and he tried to move his body to dodge, but the crossbow was too fast, and the sharp three-edged arrow cluster shot directly into his left cheek, and then came out of his head, stringing his head and iron armor together.

Wang Wei saw several bearded men jumping out of the right lieutenant, surrounding him and not knowing what they were doing. Whatever he was doing had nothing to do with Wang Rong, he began to look for his next target. It's a pity that there is no target worthy of his shot, so he had to put away the winch crossbow, take out the wolf pattern bow, and begin to name low-level officers such as Qianchang, Baichang, and Shichang. Each armor-piercing arrow fired reported to the Immortal Heaven on behalf of a low-ranking officer.

This offensive was even worse than the first offensive, the large number of deaths of the bad-haired officers brought endless chaos, without the command of low-level officers such as Qianchang, Baichang, and Shichang, those bad-haired people didn't know what to do at all, a pair of flying ladders, two teams competed, but no one went up, so that Wang Rong's soldiers were entertained with rolling wood and stones, and boiling oil and gold juice.

Although the bumper wood near the city gate reached its destination, it was very difficult for them to hit the city gate, and the leaks in the city gate were left from time to time to boil oil or gold juice, scalding to death and injuring many people, and it became extremely difficult to hit the gate.

The unfavorable siege made the morale of the Badbeards even more low, and the large number of casualties among the officers overwhelmed them, and many people began to desert, with the Overseers in the back, and the retreat was death, and in front of them was the devouring wall, and they could only linger between the two, and at the same time bear the gifts that fell from the city: rolling wooden stones, boiling oil and gold juice, crashing wolf fangs, and arrows, feathered arrows, and crossbow arrows.

Although Wang Rong was happy in his heart, his face was still serious, the enemy still had more than 20,000 troops, even if he lost 35,000 people today, the number was still several times that of his own, and this battle was still fought.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city, the piercing sound of gold sounded outside the city, and the surviving Badbeard people, who had been hovering between the city walls and the warlords, as if they had heard the sounds of heaven, quickly broke away from the coverage of the long-range weapons at the head of the city, and some of the unlucky were killed and wounded by crossbow guns and arrows, but most of the survivors fled back to the camp.

Wang Rong stood at the head of the city, looking far away, the camp of the Bearded people was three miles away, and the commander of the enemy army sent the general camp to build it against the city wall.

Wu Mo's face was calm, and he was in a very bad mood: "Captain, our casualties are a bit serious, there are too many recruits, many people see blood for the first time, and they are very uncomfortable, and then they are cut and wounded by the enemy. ”

Wang Rong patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is a process that must be experienced, let's look at it." Move the seriously wounded to the city, and let Wang Hao take care of them with his personal guards. As long as the lightly wounded are still able to fight, they are bandaged and continue to fight. ”

"Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!"

Wu Mo, Meng Song, Wu Xinghan, Shao Hongxuan, Yuan Tiangang, Wu Luo, Li Shuo, and Yin He returned to their troops to make arrangements after making a military salute.

The guards were all sent out by Wang Rong to serve as military doctors, and they were all taught battlefield medical knowledge by Wang Rong, and Wang Rong also spent two months collecting a lot of medicinal materials, and made a lot of Caowu hemostatic drugs, as well as a large number of hemostatic bandages. The guards all served as military doctors, and they were already barely competent.
