Tianfeng City Chapter 0133 300,000 companies attacked the city wall
At the sound of an order, a team of archers from the left to the right of the first five, all in unison of arrows, the fast arrows in one or two breaths have flown in front of a team of cavalry led by a hundred cavalry, these leading cavalry is not soft persimmons, their eyes are contemptuous, with a wave of the scimitar in their hands will split the flying arrows in half and sweep down the horse!
But the sharp arrows with true qi also brought strong resistance, so that both the horse and its owner were unaware. This moment slowed down the reaction of the entire cavalry by half a beat! That is, this slow half a beat! A wave of arrows from the archers of the other team on one side had already flown out with the order, and they were obviously more eager than the first wave, and the tips of the arrows on them were still blessed with true qi!
"Swing the knife!" The scimitar shone in the sun, especially the blade, but the arrows were shot very accurately, they were all heading towards the horses, causing difficulties for the riders' defense!
The cavalrymen naturally knew that speed was their life, and while brandishing their scimitars with a slight cold light, they continued to gallop their horses, and soon ran out of range, but still left eleven or twelve corpses and some ownerless horses!
"No! it looks like these cavalrymen are veterans!" The captains of both archers looked at each other, knowing that they had to show some more skill, but these cavalrymen would have to be more careful! Especially at night, when there is less daylight, the arrows will be greatly inaccurate!
......
Sure enough, in the night, the cavalry became active again, they reduced the number of torches, and at the same time increased the closest distance between the wavy line of the horses and the city wall, and the mouth was still scolding ugly words, and some people thought that the people on the city wall could not hear clearly, so they simply blew the horn!
Doodle...... The sound of the trumpet spread throughout the wilderness, and the echo of the formation of the city wall made the sound louder in the otherwise silent night, and some of the recruits who had been replaced from the city wall covered their heads with pillows one by one, turning over and over, and their eyes were full of hateful bloodshots!
In the face of the darkness of the night and the sudden blowing of the north wind, the teams of six archers began to merge and then changed to three teams working together......
In order to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry at night, they gave up their torches, judged the position of each other's companions only by their sounds, and guided the way forward by the light of the moon and the light of the fire on the city walls! Three teams of archers moved quickly according to the sound of the horns, the first team shot flaming rockets at and around the place where the sound came from, the second team blocked them with flying arrows, and the third group concentrated on killing and wounding, and still left a lot of cavalry......
In the early morning, the losses of the cavalry were asked, and the eight teams of cavalry had lost a total of more than 100 men from the previous day to this early morning.
"This arrow is high, is it the archer of the Longbow Gate?" Fang Yunzhe smiled at the sky, "The big army has arrived!"
Just as Fang Yunzhe said, at this time, a large army of 50,000 people had already arrived at Fang Yunzhe's camp.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry began to line up, guarding the camp that began to expand, and various siege weapons such as wooden towers, trebuchets, crossbows, gunpowder bullets, and ladders were built or prepared in place.
Then the more troublesome harassment began, one time it was a team beating gongs and drums calling a battle of scolding, one time it was the trebuchets on both sides throwing each other, and the other time it was a scolding in front of the battle, it was very unusual for dozens of days, the camp of the Nine Directions was not in a hurry to attack on a large scale, but only harassed the soldiers guarding the city wall day and night, expanding the camp and meeting the follow-up troops with slow feet. In the face of such an enemy army, the tired recruits hated the root of their teeth but were very helpless, looking at the veterans who could even stand and sleep with their spears, they could only be envious, jealous and hateful!
The section of the city wall where the king of Zhenbei was located was a different look, and under the order of the king of Zhenbei, the soldiers on the four city walls behind were converging more and more towards the first wall. The more this continuous city wall is stationed to the border, the more regular troops there are, and the more sects there are, the more herdsmen and martial arts families there are! The border of Youzhou is originally mountainous and dangerous, these dangerous places are difficult to march and most of them are guarded by border guards, and the built city wall is the closest to the border city wall guarded by the regular army, the number of troops gradually decreases at the beginning of the second city wall, and the herdsmen living in the houses built on the city wall, the more martial arts families and small sects!
These people, who lived by the walls, grazed, farmed, and multiplied between the walls, producing on weekdays and becoming part of the entire defense system in wartime. They are both soldiers and soldiers, and the city wall is their home, which is a strategy established to supplement the lack of troops in the five sections of the city wall after years of pondering. Among them, the combat power of the sect and the martial arts family is maintained well, and it is very troublesome for the civilians to maintain their combat power for generations, in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, these civilians are stipulated to be herding as the main way of survival, after all, the meat herdsmen are generally more effective than the farmer, and each herdsman has to be a soldier for five years when he becomes an adult, and then the prevalence of the practice of martial arts, every successful martial artist has the opportunity to worship the border sect or further become a general. Most of the captures on the battlefield were also skewed in favor of soldiers, and many strategies were implemented to ensure that the five city walls, which were more than a thousand miles long, were adequately guarded.
And the reason why the King of Zhenbei summoned the army at this time was because of those Jixian Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom soldiers who had assembled at the Tibetan military point, and the soldiers of the Water Moon Country began to act!
The three kingdoms in the north are mainly based on grazing, supplemented by farming, so there are many cattle and sheep as grain reserves with the army, and the soldiers usually feed on dry food, milk, and goat's milk, and have a full guarantee of physical fitness! An army of 350,000, 200,000 in Jixianguo, and 150,000 in Shuiyue country, the dust raised along the way wrapped the entire marching team like a dust, and they rushed all the way!
They walked for almost three days, crossed the buffer boundary, and came to a place four or five miles away from the city wall and set up camp!
Thirty-five thousand people gathered together, and the cattle and sheep were as huge and boundless as dark clouds covering the sun, and at night there was more cooking smoke than there was cooking smoke on this side of the city wall!
Wang Feiyu and Huo Qinglong, who saw this scene for the first time, were startled, but Ye Qingchou on the side was very calm!
"Obediently, even if the master of the Mortal Realm falls in, he will be able to make a small splash, right?" Wang Feiyu looked at the black pressure below and said with some uncertainty.
"Don't worry! Looking at their current actions, they will not attack for the time being. ”
"Won't?" Looking at Ye Qingchou who spoke, Wang Feiyu suddenly understood: "Senior Brother Ye, have you participated in this kind of battle?"
"I saw it before joining the Heavenly Seal City! Now it should still be the tentative stage of both sides! You see that if you want to attack the city, you need to make cloud ladders and arrow towers, but you can see that many of them have not been assembled yet, and now it can only be a temptation!"
"Then you can't attack directly?" Huo Qinglong asked puzzled.
"Attack, how to get on the city wall, there are innate masters, and it's not used like this!" Ye Qingchou said to the general who brought them up on the side, "Thank you, General Liu!"
"You're welcome, since you've been recruited, I naturally hope you can get familiar with this place as soon as possible. ”
Then Ye Qingchou looked at Wang Feiyi and Huo Qinglong and said, "Let's go! Now that we've seen it, let's go back to the dream caravan after the city wall!"
"It's okay!General Liu, I'm sorry for you!" Wang Feiyu nodded.
"You're welcome!" the two followed General Liu and walked down the stone stairs of the city wall
"You-" Huo Qinglong, who originally wanted to stay for a while, had to follow, at this time, half of the Mengjia caravan had already embarked on the return journey, and the other half and Mengqian stayed on this border temporarily, because their martial arts were relatively high as a whole, they were all incorporated into the emergency team by the King of Zhenbei, and now they are all being trained in combat. ......
Just as Ye Qingchou said, the enemy army did not rush to attack but played a harassing attention, a small group, a small group of cavalry ran back and forth under the city wall in a wavy line side by side with the city wall, they always maintained a certain distance back and forth with a huge noise noise, especially at night It was non-stop, not only that, but the catapults on both sides were also throwing stones at each other, but there was no other movement.
Looking under the city walls, King Zhenbei could feel what the enemy's military camp seemed to be waiting for?
'But what is this to do?' Just when the king of Zhenbei was puzzled, the camp on the opposite side suddenly changed its attack, and at the light of the torches just after night! More than a hundred small catapults were set up, and countless stones the size of cobble-eggs were sandwiched with larger stones and crossbow arrows of the arrow towers, and with the help of the north wind that suddenly blew violently, it poured down on the city wall!
"Vertical baffle!" Soon one side of the baffle was mainly made of bamboo, and the surface was nailed with an old blanket, and the baffle that had been wrapped in linen cloth and had been toughened was erected! Under the command, these baffles and the wall in front of them formed an angle of more than 90 degrees in the eyes of the soldiers in Youzhou, and in the eyes of the siege soldiers, the bamboo plank became a small slope. The sound of crackling was incessant, and pebbles-sized stones fell on the bamboo baffle, then slid down the slope of the formation, and then down the wall outside the wall, and fell into the earth under the tall city walls, and even the frozen frozen ground in the winter night was smashed into the craters by the stone rain that fell down the wall!
