Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 70 Chaos of Stones Like Rain

Then, the tribal soldiers who were helpless at the bottom of the pit saw a scene that frightened them, only to see a rain of fire in the sky, and countless rockets falling from the sky. The trench caught fire with a bang. In the midst of blood and fire, the tribal soldiers trapped in the entire trench struggled weakly until finally they could no longer move.

A tribal soldier scout quietly left the scene and ran quickly to the west, and soon saw Ashina Siyuan, who was waiting there, and said breathlessly: "Kun Evil King, there is a trap ahead, and all the thousand comrades have fallen into the trench, and they have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Ashina Siyuan looked at the fire in the trench in front of him, his heart was cold, he had made a package to Yu Sheshi and An, and he would destroy the camp in the west of Guangmu City tonight.

Then he said coldly: "There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, and you must also attack me, and break through anything that stands in front of you!" The 60,000 tribal army quickly got up, and they quickly rushed towards the wall of the western camp with simple flying ladders.

Li Sujie led the 2,000-man team to the wall behind the first trench in the west, and by the light of the fire in the trench, Li Sujie could clearly see the mans who were rushing towards the wall, and he shouted loudly: "Rocket ready!" Put! ”

Wang Rong specially applied fire oil to the entire western grassland on the outside of the west wall in advance, and after the fire rain fell, the fire ignited instantly. Wang Rong and his guards also rushed to the west wall, he frowned and looked at the sea of fire in front of him, and said to Li Sujie: "This fire is too small, too far worse than I imagined." ”

Indeed, because of the snow, the grass was wet, and even with the help of oil to burn, the fire was still very weak, and the flames were only more than half a person high. Li Sujie comforted: "Such a big fire is a piece, even if these tens of thousands of people rush through the sea of fire, they will still have to lose a lot of people. And the light of the fire also provides us with illumination, so that the archers do not lose sight of their targets. ”

Wang Wei said sharply: "Go to bed crossbow!" Stoneballs! The soldiers then introduced hundreds of bed crossbows, which were modified to replace the tail of the bowstring with a cloth bag, like a large slingshot, which could be loaded into stones for firing.

And in the dark night, Ashina Siyuan thought that he was about to usher in endless arrows, but he didn't expect that what he encountered was actually stones. Irregular, angular stones do significantly more damage to the Bearded than arrows, and the scatter-like stone projectiles cover a wide area.

The sound of "bang" came and went, and before reaching the trench, the Bearded Man paid the price of thousands of people. They put the ladder across the trench, quickly crossed the trench, and then they were dumbfounded.

The walled wall that greeted them was obviously something they had never seen before, and the walled wall was made of logs, but it was not the construction method they were familiar with. Usually the log wall, the logs are stacked horizontally and stacked in layers, and then fixed vertically with large logs on the outside. This method of construction makes it impossible for enemies to climb the wall, but it only prevents the usual method of climbing. As long as the spear is plunged into the gap between the stacked logs, you can climb the wall, like rock climbing, after all, it is impossible to fill the gap in the field camping like building a wall.

Wang Rong came up with a clever trick, he had the wall built by the people insert a row of logs into the soil vertically, and then use another row of logs to top the vertical logs from behind to form a right-angled triangle, and then lay a row of logs horizontally on the upper half of the vertical logs, which can effectively prevent the enemy from using the gaps in the wall to climb, and at the same time can hide soldiers behind the wall to prevent being injured by enemy arrows.

Just when the bearded man looked at the walled wall in front of him in a daze, the bed crossbow placed on the arrow tower immediately changed direction, shifted the shooting boundary to the wall, and roared, "Shoot!" ”

The stones of the bed crossbow shot out like a storm, fierce and dense, and hundreds of armored soldiers standing under the wall fell to the ground screaming, and the stones attacked them in all directions, and unlike the crossbows and arrows, even the iron armor they wore could not stop the blunt blow brought by the stones. After a few rounds of firing, there was not a single standing soldier under the wall, and the corpses were piled up.

Looking at his own army with heavy losses, Ashina Siyuan had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Xiling. Seeing that the Badgers had retreated, the villagers hurriedly cleaned up the corpses under the wall, re-tied bamboo sticks in the trench outside, sprinkled them with thistles, and piled sandbags at the root of the wall to strengthen the wall.

The battle between Wang Rong and the Badbearers came to an end for the time being, and the fierce battle lasted less than an hour from the discovery of the dead soldiers of the Badbearers to the retreat of the Badbeard army. And this fierce battle in less than an hour made the Bearded Tribal Army pay a heavy price. According to the inspection of the guards, 971 heads of the Bearded Men were obtained in the trenches, and 2,833 Heads of the Bearded Men were obtained under the wall.

The fierce attack of the Western Battalion made Ashina Siyuan directly lose the courage to fight, he hesitated again and again, and had to order his soldiers to retreat.

Yu Sheshi and An Laoshen were sitting in their tent on the ground, drinking mare's milk wine while reading a book.

"Oooo

After listening to the return of the guards, Yu Shishi and An waved their hands and said, "Okay, you go down." ”

To tell the truth, Yu Shi He'an's heart was angry, originally he thought that Ashina Siyuan swore a curse and swore because he was confident, but he didn't expect that this guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it would only be brutal, and he actually lost 5,000 people without even touching the enemy's camp.

Just as he was thinking, Ashina Siyuan opened the curtain and walked in, then pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt on the ground, raised his dusty face, and left two traces on his cheeks with two lines of tears, and the whole face was directly spent.

"The king of the right valley, his subordinates are incompetent."

Yu Shot Shi and An looked at Ashina Siyuan who was kneeling on the ground, and did not sneer, nor did he rush to face white. Instead, he slowly got up, pressed the handle of his knife to the latter, and looked condescendingly at the back of his head.

Time passed little by little, Ashina Siyuan's face was covered with sweat, and his face was even more spent. Yu Sheshi and An let go of the hand that pressed the hilt of the knife, helped it up with both hands, and said in a relaxed voice: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the result of this battle is already in my expectation. ”

Yu Sheshi and An pulled Ashina Siyuan to the seat on the left, pressed him to the seat, and said indifferently: "Our 100,000 army, every move can't be hidden, when crossing the river, the thieves in Guangmu City should already know, and it is expected that they have already taken precautions." ”

Ashina Siyuan listened to Yu Shi He'an's words, and his admiration for him in his heart was like a surging river. He choked up excitedly: "King Li, the right valley, subordinates... ”

Yu Sheshi and An raised their hands to stop Ashina Siyuan's words, he began to smell the battle tonight in detail, his personal guards only told him the result of the battle, but he didn't know the details.

Ashina Siyuan said with a face full of shame and resentment: "The Yong thieves are treacherous, they dug a dry trench more than a foot wide outside the camp, which is covered with bamboo sticks and thistles. Haygrass was also laid on top of the trench for camouflage, and the light was too dark at night, and a thousand people who dared to die fell into this trench before they could rush to the wall, and they died and were wounded.

Then the thieves covered the trench with rockets, and a fire ignited in the trench, which was so evil that it could not be extinguished when it touched the clothes and skin.

Seeing this, I had to order the army to storm it, and then these damned thieves smeared the grass with combustibles, and although the fire was smaller than in the trenches, some soldiers were still burned to death. Finally arrived at the wall, it was really an eye-opener for me, my own soldiers said that the enemy's wall has no gaps to follow at all, and it is very high, more than our ladder is one person higher... ”

Yu Shot Shi and An listened, and directly took it and said: "Under the fortified city of Dunbing, you have been hit by the enemy's bow and arrow? No, no, the arrow doesn't hurt many people at all. ”

Ashina Siyuan said sadly and angrily: "Except for one rocket, the thieves did not use bows and arrows, but stones, and I don't know what they used to launch them. In this way, we were defeated by the thief, the king of the right valley, his subordinates are incompetent, please punish him. ”
