It's night.

On the city wall of Pingyuan County, there are many defenders, and they are waiting for battle.

Outside the city wall under the night sky, the black night covered the eyes of the soldiers like a pair of invisible hands, and only the sound of "sand, sand" that kept coming to the ears was like the wind blowing through the leaves.

Although it was invisible, everyone knew in their hearts that it was the voice of the enemy.

In less than two days, the reinforcements sent by Huyang City will come to Pingyuan County to assist them in exterminating the thieves, so according to He Yi's speculation, by tonight at the latest, Na Li Rong Village will definitely come to seize the city.

Otherwise, as soon as reinforcements arrive, the other side will never have a chance.

"Signal to turn off!"

He Yi shouted loudly, and the voice was heard far away in the moonlight.

He deliberately raised his voice so loudly that while shouting to the defenders, he was also shouting to the hidden enemy.

This is a means of deception.

He was going to tell the enemy generals under the city that although I can't see you, you don't know how much I have prepared under the same unknown circumstances.

As the order was given, the flaming torches extinguished their light, and the city walls were suddenly plunged into darkness, and only rows of neatly arranged figures could be seen through the faint moonlight.

"All on alert!"

After another order was given, there was no movement on the walls.

In the howling night wind, two beasts lurking in the darkness began to compete for endurance.

Half an hour later.

Sou!

A sharp arrow, coming from the darkness ahead, hit one of the soldiers on the city wall with unmistakable accuracy, and after a muffled snort, the soldier fell.

The enemy hiding in the dark night finally can't hold it anymore.

This was just the beginning, and hundreds of arrows rained down on the walls.

"Enemy attack!

"Get down and dodge the rain of arrows!"

The defenders on the walls looked a little panicked, after all, without armor, the arrows could easily pierce their bodies and take their lives.

Since the fire in the armory, their bows and crossbows have been completely burned by the fire, and the defenders on the city wall really have no room to fight back in the face of the rain of arrows.

All they can do at this time is resist and wait.

Waiting for the enemy army to climb the walls, waiting for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat.

............

"Jia Shao, how many waves of arrows have you struck?"

He Yi was on the edge of the city wall, braving the attacking arrows, and looked down, and was immediately hit by a fierce shot.

In He Yi's eyes, the galloping arrow rain was like a fierce beast venting its anger, and no one could stop it. The soldiers on the city wall fell in large numbers, and the miserable ones weighed dozens of hundreds of arrows, and from a distance, they looked like humanoid hedgehogs in the shadows, so they were not mad.

"It's already the fifth wave, his grandmother's, these people are more cautious than we expected! I know that we don't have weapons and armor, and they still put so many arrows here!"

The battle was extremely fierce, and Jia Shao held his head in his hands and hid behind a standing straight soldier who was covered in arrows.

Even so, the soldier still held his head high and did not fall.

Woo————

Woo————

After seven waves of arrows, the sound of a charging horn was heard in the distance.

This is the unique sound of the military horn, He Yi listened to it, and he was even more surprised, he grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the sound of this military horn.

Under the rain of arrows, the walls were in shambles, and corpses were staggered and covered with arrows.

The horn of the charge sounded, and soon a group of men and horses were seen pouring out of the darkness.

He Yi poked his head out again and glanced out, and was stunned.

Because, the other party's equipment is far beyond He Yi's imagination. Not only are the weapons sophisticated, but even the giant siege equipment such as building cars, ladders, and crash cars are also readily available.

"It seems that this Lirong Village not only has the guidance of a master, but also a master who has been in the barracks for a long time. He Yi muttered to himself.

"Kill ——!!"

Below, the generals of the leading army of Li Rong Zhai raised their weapons and let out a loud shout, and thousands of soldiers of Li Rong Zhai began to board the building car and push the ladder, they were getting closer and closer to the city wall of the plain, and He Yi finally saw the Li Rong Zhai flag swaying in the wind in the center of those soldiers and horses.

The three banners represent the number of people who are besieging the city ———— a full 3,000.

The defenders of the plains were only a thousand.

The difference in strength is too large.

"General He, give the order!" At this time, the defenders on the city wall also began to move.

Jia Shao and Fan Wu, each holding a hunting bow, stood on either side of He Yi, looking at the siege army outside the city gate with solemn faces.

"Wait a minute, Fan Wu, you first send someone to inform the city defense general, and ask him to send more men to the city gate, no matter what, the city gate must not be lost!" He Yi said.

He did underestimate the strength of Li Rongzhai a little.

He originally thought that Li Rongzhai would put the main force of the attack on the city wall, but he never thought that the other party would even bring out such sharp weapons as siege vehicles.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

When the siege army outside had advanced dozens of steps, and the ladder and the building cart were about to reach under the city wall, He Yi waved his hand and gave an order.

"Ignition!"

"Yes!"

At the sound of the order, the city wall suddenly lit up with dazzling firelight, illuminating the surroundings.

The night was pierced by the firelight, and the mystery hidden in the darkness was completely lifted at this moment, revealing the true face of the defending side.

To the surprise of the Li Rong army besieging the city, the people on the city wall were not real soldiers at all, and the corpses that seemed to be full of arrows were not real corpses.

It's a scarecrow the size of a living person!

After seeing the appearance of those straw men clearly, a commotion suddenly broke out in the siege army below.

"Shoot the arrows!" He Yi shouted, this was the opportunity he was waiting for!

In the dark corner of the city wall, nearly a hundred real soldiers with hunting bows walked out of the shadows quickly, they pulled arrows from the rows of scarecrows in front of the city wall, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the cottage army under the city.

In an instant, arrows rained down, and a terrible scream came from the defenseless enemy troops under the city.

"Haha! The dog thieves didn't expect it! My general's eyes are like torches, and he has already seen through your tricks!" Jia Shao scolded hatefully, and quickly shot arrows towards the city.

He was born in Orion, and his archery skills were accurate, and every time the string sounded, there was bound to be an enemy arrow.

The bow in his hand was temporarily borrowed by He Yi from the hunter's house in the county. Although there are not many of them, less than 300 of them, and they are not as powerful as the crossbows, the defenders are condescending and shoot at medium and close range, so they can still bring a lot of lethality.

This arrow was taken by surprise and immediately caused a lot of casualties to the besieging troops under the city.

But the other party also came prepared.

After a moment of panic, a shield soldier stepped forward, shielded and shielded, and continued to push the ladder and crash forward.

"There is an order from the master, the first person to storm the city gate will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars!"

"Kill!"

“......”

Under the siege order, the enemy began to brave the rain of arrows and rushed to the edge of the city wall, the huge building cars let out a dull roar, and rows of ladders were erected under the city wall.

"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!Fan Wu, go and bring over the previous water tank!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that his arrows were no longer effective, and the enemy's ladder was getting closer and closer to the city wall, He Yi gave the order again.

These water tanks, He Yi had Fan Wu and his people carry them on the city wall a few days ago, and they were filled with snow, which would gradually melt after sprinkling salt, and it was not easy to freeze again.

"Water!"

With He Yi's order, the cold water in the vat was poured down one by one.

Wow!

In the cold winter of the north, a basin of cold water can sometimes be more lethal than a long knife.

The enemy soldiers who had climbed more than half of the ladder were doused with cold water before they could make the next move.

In order to ensure the heat, all soldiers have a layer of cotton clothing to protect them from the cold inside their armor, and at this time, they are soaked by the snow water, and the cotton clothes are cold and biting, but they are more uncomfortable than not wearing clothes.

In just a few seconds, the faces of the enemy soldiers who had been doused with cold water began to turn pale, they were so cold that their teeth chattered, and they did not stand still, and they fell from the edge of the city wall screaming.

"Kill you bastards! Haha! I, Fan Wu, have been in this northern land for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this cold water kill the enemy! General He is really like a god!"

Faced with three times the strength of his own side, Fan Wu was still nervous before, but when he saw that a jar of cold water could solve more than a dozen soldiers who climbed the ladder, he immediately calmed down a lot.

He had carried these water tanks up the city wall before, but it took a lot of effort, and he had complained a little about He Yi's order, but he didn't expect such a wonderful use.

Jars of cold water poured down from the city wall, forming a violent rainstorm, and all the siege troops who were doused with water were greatly reduced in combat power, and also reduced a lot of pressure on the city defense army.

Under He Yi's advice, all the enemies who climbed the city wall were first poured with cold water, and then they lost their combat effectiveness, and then they seized the weapons and defended them for attack.

It didn't take long for more than 100 enemy corpses to pile up under the city walls. The battle on the walls didn't get worse over time, but the morale of the defenders grew!

............

Boom!

Below the city wall, the huge sharp wood at the front of the siege vehicle slammed into the city gate, making a deafening loud noise, and the ground shook.

Inside the city gate, several soldiers against the city gate were shocked by the impact of this impact, and flew out, but soon more soldiers rushed up and continued to use their thin bodies to firmly resist the city gate.

"Hurry! Resist me! I can't lose the gate no matter what!" shouted the general in charge of defending the gate.

Pingyuan County is vast and sparsely populated, and wars are very scarce, so there is no moat surrounding.

As a result, enemy siege engines could easily reach the city gates.

Before the battle began, He Yi had people instruct him, saying: "The current situation is special, the city walls are easy to defend, and the city gates are difficult to defend. And told him to keep the gates of the city no matter what.

Because everyone knows that in the case of their own lack of armor and weapons, once the city gate is lost, the enemy's men and horses will drive straight in, and the entire plain county will fall in an instant.

Therefore, compared to the city wall, the defense of the city gate is more important.

"What's the situation here?" At this time, Pei Dong led a team of men and horses to the inside of the city gate.

"It's just in time!" shouted the gatekeeper.

The situation is not optimistic, in the face of the huge siege engines, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they dare not say how long they can resist.

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and the gates crumbled.

Boom!

Boom!

......

After several collisions, although the city gate was not completely broken, it was hit by the wood at the front of the siege vehicle in the middle, and a huge gap was knocked out.

In an instant, seven or eight Li Rong soldiers crawled in along the gap, like crazy, and slashed at the defenders everywhere with their swords.

"Meet the enemy with me!"

When Pei Dong saw the enemy troops pouring in, he immediately made a decision and immediately rushed over with a team of nearly 100 people.

This team of men and horses is the only team of soldiers wearing armor in the entire Pingyuan County, and it is also the only team that can compete with the Li Rong army head-on.

When the Japanese armory caught fire, although the armor in the city was burned, there happened to be a team of soldiers who were responsible for daily patrols and did not return from unloading their armor, so this hundred sets of armor were preserved.

In the dim light of the fire, the sound of weapons clashing was incessant, and after a bloody battle, both sides left more than a dozen corpses by the city gates.

Fortunately, those Li Rong troops who attacked through the gap in the city gate were finally killed and retreated.

But before Pei Dong and the others had time to rejoice, they heard a violent impact from outside the city gate.

Boom!

Sawdust was splashed above the city gate, and although it did not collapse, the broken gap on it was enlarged a few points.

The situation is becoming less and less optimistic.

"Damn! If you don't find a way to destroy this siege vehicle, the city gate will be knocked open sooner or later!" Pei Dong looked anxious.

He Yi, who was on the city wall, also sensed the threat of this siege vehicle.

And a group of enemy horses also seemed to have discovered the flaw at the city gate and began to concentrate their forces to attack the city gate.

"Fuel!ignition!"

Seeing this, He Yi immediately gave an order.

Rows of scarecrows were doused with fire oil by the soldiers, and after they were ignited, they were thrown from the city walls and smashed into the siege engines blocking the city gates.

Then, He Yi ordered Jia Shao to take some of his archers and concentrate on shooting the enemies who controlled the siege vehicles.

The rain of arrows and the burning of the fire separated the rear of the vehicle from a vacuum, blocking the enemy's offensive.

The siege vehicle, because no one was in control of the follow-up, also temporarily stopped its operation.

"General Pei, General Li, quick!" He Yi shouted under the city wall.

On the battlefield, the enemy army is three times the number of its own, and the fire and arrow attack can only stop it for a moment.

This was their only chance to destroy the siege engine.

"Soldiers, rush out with me and burn this siege vehicle!"

Pei Dong wiped the blood stains on his face indiscriminately, held a gun in one hand, and then hung two barrels of fire oil on the horse's back. As soon as the soldiers opened a gap in the city gate, he immediately rushed out with this group of well-armed elite soldiers.

Pei Dong can also be called a skilled warrior with bows and horses, and several enemy soldiers were killed in an instant with the dance of spears.

They poured barrels of fire oil on the siege engine, which was then ignited by a fire signal, and the siege engine suddenly turned into a huge ball of burning fire, firmly blocking the enemy army outside.

Black smoke rose everywhere, and the flames soared into the sky, dyeing the dark sky with a bit of tragic blood.

With a violent thud, the siege vehicle collapsed.

Seeing this, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the ranks of the defending side.

"The threat is gone, guard the gate!" Pei Dong's face also flashed with joy.

............

The city wall could not be attacked for a long time, and the city gate was also blocked by the siege vehicle burning with raging fire.

After more than two hours of bloody fighting, when the sky was getting brighter, a crisp sound of gold suddenly came from the enemy's camp.

Finally retreated.

Seeing the black-armored soldiers besieging the city retreat like a tide, the soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed by the wall one by one, panting heavily.

"Huh, where is General He? Fan Wu, have you seen General He?" After the defenders on the city wall rested for a while, Jia Shao wanted to count the casualties for a report, but when he looked around, He Yi had already disappeared.
