Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the border town immersed in the darkness of the night.

A rapid, dull drum beat came from across the river.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and there was no light in the eastern sky.

If you want the sun to rise, you will have to wait another hour.

But to the west, the orange firelight lit up the entire sky.

"What happened?"

Meng Changge was asleep, and was suddenly woken up by the sound of drums, so he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, subconsciously holding the silver gun leaning against the wall, and said vigilantly.

The guards outside the door knelt down on one knee and responded: "Return to the general, the bandits took advantage of the night to surround Yongguan!" Drums are sounding at the end of the day! The big battle is coming! ”

Hearing this, Meng Changge came to his senses completely, quickly put on his armor, climbed the city wall of the Sifeng Gate, and looked in the direction of Yongguan.

At this time, in the direction of Yongguan, immersed in a firelight.

But because the distance is too far, it is impossible to see how many bandits there are.

Immediately, Meng Changge took a hundred horsemen out of the city and rushed to Yonghe.

Before I got closer, I saw a large area of bandit armies on the other side of the river, numbering tens of thousands of people.

In the dark night, countless torches were lit, neighing war horses surrounded the pass, and the galloping dust rushed straight to the clouds, and the sound was deafening.

Meng Changge rode to a high slope and looked out.

At this time, Yongguan was surrounded by bandits on all sides, and this small city was like a flat boat on the lake, which could capsize at any time.

"General, this place is too close to the battlefield, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time!"

"Watch out for the stray arrows!"

The guard clenched his fists and kindly reminded.

Meng Changge waved his hand, jumped off the horse, took a few steps closer, and said casually:

"It doesn't matter, lend these bandits three hundred guts, and they won't dare to shoot arrows at us!"

The border between Daji and Qin is divided by the Yonghe River.

The bandit army assembled on the south bank of the Yong River, preparing to attack Yongguan.

Meng Changge watched the play on the north bank, on a high slope less than 100 meters away from the Yonghe River, which can be described as a spectacle in military history.

At the moment of speaking, the bandit army had already assembled and began to attack Yongguan.

Seeing that the army of bandits was getting closer and closer to Yongguan City, and the victorious army on the city wall did nothing, Meng Changge immediately became anxious: "What are you doing? Why don't you shoot arrows and shoot back! ”

On the Yongguan city wall, Chen Chao was dressed in armor and held the handle of his waist knife with one hand, without the intention of ordering an attack.

"This guy, isn't he stupid?"

Meng Changge was faintly worried in her heart, according to what she saw, this must be the first time Chen Chao had seen such a scene.

With tens of thousands of people attacking and defending the city, Chen Chao must have been scared stupid.

"It's already two hundred steps, why don't you give an order!"

The army of bandits charged two hundred paces, and it only took a short time.

When the bandit army rushed to the city unscathed, the soldiers of the sword and shield battalion under the city would be hit like never before.

Therefore, the defending side of the city will reduce the bandits' combat power as much as possible during the bandits' charge.

The most common means are arrows, trenches and traps dug in advance.

The guard said at the right time: "General, this distance has not yet reached the range of the Daji bow and crossbow. ”

"Huh?"

When Meng Changge heard this, he frowned.

Two hundred steps is already the killing range of the Great Qin Bow and Crossbow.

Syllable!

Meng Changge patted his head lightly with his hand and remembered.

The range of the Daji bow and crossbow is much shorter than that of the Qin army's bow and crossbow, at most one hundred and fifty steps.

No wonder, a few days ago, Chen Chao was so anxious to ask her to borrow some weapons and equipment from the Qin army.

Two hundred steps!

One hundred and eighty steps!

One hundred and sixty steps!

It's getting closer and closer....

.....

I saw that under the cover of night, a rain of arrows rose from the top of the city and quickly threw it towards the bandit foot soldiers who were charging outside the city.

From ancient times to the present, bows and crossbows have been an indispensable weapon in warfare!

Because of its long range and great lethality, it has always been liked and hated by people.

It is the side that rejoices the city, and the party that hates the city that is besieged.

The besieging side, often before they get close to the city wall, is robbed of half of the siege force by the rain of arrows!

And the defenders of the city are just wasting some arrows and wasting some strength to draw the bow!

Woohoo!

The sound of breaking wind continued to sound, and the bandits charging in the front row were rained through their bodies by arrows before they could raise their shields to stop them.

At this time, the bandits still maintained a charging posture, and due to the very large inertia, after being hit by the arrow, they did not stop immediately, but rolled forward a few times before stopping.

"Arrow strike! Arrow Strike! ”

"Raise your shield!"

In the rear, the leader of the bandits who supervised the battle gave an order, and the charging bandits raised their shields in a panic.

Tuk tuk!

There was a banging sound, and the bandits moved forward with difficulty with their shields.

Hurry, hurry, you can rush over right away ....

And then at this moment, a mutation suddenly happened!

I saw a few bandits rushing to the front, their figures suddenly disappeared on the flat ground, and they stepped into the trap set in advance.

Hearing the sound of a foreign object piercing the flesh, the bandits who had not had time to stop fell into the trap, and the trap dug down to a depth of more than a person, and the sharpened wooden thorns were inserted inverted, which could easily pierce the bandits' bodies.

Some bandits were directly pierced through vital parts such as the heart and neck, and they lost their lives before they could even scream!

Some of them were lucky and didn't hurt the vital point.

But he was pierced through the body by a wooden thorn, unable to move in the trap, and let out a heart-rending wail.

This is just the beginning.....

Overhead is a rain of arrows whistling down, and under your feet are traps.

More and more bandits are being shot!

More and more bandits are stepping on the trap!

Puff, puff......

Falling to the ground!

Wail!

Cry for help!

Echo on the battlefield, endlessly!

What's worse is that those bandits who have clearly found the trap, they want to bypass it after they find the trap, but the bandits in the back don't know what happened in front, and they don't have time to stop their charge, and they directly hit the bandits in the front row.

The bandits in the front row were swarmed into the trap by friendly troops.

One life!

In the dark, no one knows what's ahead.

The bandits could only hear the sound of war drums in the rear, which was the general's order to urge them to attack!

Before the halfway point of the charge was passed, more than half of the bandits who had invested in the early stage were killed or wounded.

However, the bandit battalion in the rear does not seem to care about these at all, and the bandits are thrown into the battlefield one by one, and they are bound to use flesh and blood to level this short 150-step road!

Looking at the bandits under the city charging one after another, on the city wall, Chen Chao's face was gloomy and terrifying!

The opposing general is a terrible opponent!

Now, Chen Chao finally knew why the other party launched an attack at this hour, now, the sky is not yet dawn, it is dark everywhere, only a faint glimmer of light, the charging bandits can't see too far at all, and they can't even see the outline of the city wall clearly, they can only see the road a few steps ahead!

The generals of the bandits took advantage of this.

Just imagine, if it were a daytime charge, watching the companions around him fall one by one, watching the sky rain of arrows, knowing that there was a dead end ahead, would these bandits who had not received strict training still charge without hesitation?

The answer is definitely not!

If you are human, you will be afraid!

Not to mention these bandits who eat with their mouths.

But in the vast darkness of the night, the bandits couldn't see the situation ahead at all, they could only hear the sound!

I heard the sound of war drums urging the attack in the rear!

This undoubtedly fueled their courage to charge fearlessly!

It is not difficult to guess that the opposing general is an expert!

As it turned out, Chen Chao's guess was not wrong.

In the bandit command post in the rear, Yao Wu patted the table and stared at him:

"Rush me! Hit the road before dawn! ”

"At all costs! Charge me! ”

"Those who violate the order will be punished as deserters!"
