Huang Yuchen stood on the hill at the edge of the city, and had been waiting for a long time.

Behind him, a row of fluorescent detachment arrays were neatly arranged, and the eyes of the arrays were directly facing the open space at the back gate of the city.

The guards who had just gone out had already returned, and the five guards who had been living for the rest of their lives at this moment were standing behind Huang Yuchen with expressionless faces.

It had been a while since two rays of light rose into the sky, turned into a dazzling white light, and disappeared again.

Huang Yuchen was a little impatient, no longer standing, but leaning against the trees next to him, sitting down, quietly looking at the city below.

Inside the city, the defenses had been arranged, and two brigades had boarded the city, their bows and arrows and crossbows were ready, just waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Around Huang Yuchen, there was silence, and only the sound of cicadas could be heard.

After another moment, a dark shadow appeared in the mountains and forests in the distance. Gradually, this black shadow got closer and closer, converging on the open space in front of the back gate of Changxiang City, about a mile away from the city, and stopped.

"It's finally here. Seeing this, Huang Yuchen's eyes were shining, and he hurriedly stood up and looked at the city.

This black shadow is the enemy army who received the news, they immediately pulled out, arrived outside Changxiang City, gathered the formation, and blocked the open space and official road outside the back gate of Changxiang City.

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen turned his head again and looked at the main gate of Changxiang City, but at the main gate, he did not find any enemy troops, it was still silent and empty.

"If the enemy leader is not a fool, he is still waiting. Huang Yuchen said secretly.

It stands to reason that if the East Wangfu sergeant is introduced into Changxiang City, the left and right city gates will definitely be surrounded, otherwise it will not play any role, and the East Wangfu Iron Cavalry can still retreat through the original way. If you think of the effect of total annihilation, you must block the left and right passages, and now that you have let go of one place, there must be fraud.

However, Huang Yuchen didn't have to worry about this, he only needed to be responsible for the activation of the fire detachment array, and these six detachment fire arrays erupted, which was enough for the enemy troops below. All that's left is to wait for the signal for the rest of your life and activate the formation.

At this moment, Yu Sheng was standing on the low city wall of Changxiang City, looking at the enclave sergeants who were slowly surrounding him in the distance, with a cruel smile on his face.

The enemy army in front of him seemed to be only three or five thousand people, and the gap between them and the ten thousand or so people who came with the news was far away. The soldiers came to the city, but they didn't feel the slightest feeling in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

If the enemy can come up with such a strategy, he must have obtained the previous battle report, his own side completely annihilated their infantry phalanx, and also knew that his army was all cavalry, so he used a trick to lure himself into Changxiang City, thinking about catching turtles in the urn.

The idea is very good, but this strategy has long been seen through for the rest of his life, and he has other purposes in mind, otherwise he will not take the initiative to enter the urn.

The road behind, all the way to Wufeng City, still need to pass through two such cities, the enemy soldiers do not know how many, instead of fighting one by one, it is better to plan and attract more enemy troops here, and the end of the first battle, so that they can reach Wufeng City faster.

The formation of the enemy army slowly gathered in the distance, and the rest of his life gathered his smile, and his heart was like water. Previously, he had ordered three or four brigades to rest on the spot and not pay attention to the enemy's attack. Relying on the ten-zhang city walls of Changxiang City and the soldiers of a hundred battles, it is impossible for the other party to easily break through Changxiang City.

At midnight, the moon is in the sky.

After the enclave sergeant arrived at Changxiang City, he quickly spread out the formation and set up the siege equipment that had been prepared for a long time.

Push the city tower, about ten zhang high, three sides are covered by heavy wooden boards, with a wooden ladder, the lower part is provided with a hub, the back sergeant pushes the city tower, to the city wall, the top plank will be removed, so, form an external ladder of the same height as the city wall, can let the siege sergeant continue to attack the city head through this ladder, this is a more common siege equipment.

The ladder, more than ten zhang high, can be directly erected on the city wall, which is a simple siege equipment.

The stormer, the enclave is one size smaller than what you see elsewhere, and it looks like it has just been built, and the skin of the trunk is still oozing with juice.

The only thing that worries Yu Sheng is the two improvised trebuchets being assembled in the enemy formation, which are extremely powerful and can throw large objects directly into the city or city walls, and if you let this thing use it at full strength, it will cause a lot of damage to your own side.

But although I was a little worried, I didn't take it too seriously for the rest of my life. The battle of thousands of people, he has experienced too much, and a siege battle of this scale, in the eyes of the rest of his life, is as simple as playing at home.

Turning around, he whispered two words backwards, and the herald behind him immediately nodded, quickly descended from the city wall, and conveyed the orders for the rest of his life.

In a moment, a group of black figures climbed over the city wall and disappeared into the nearby mountain forest.

"Woo ......" a long horn sounded, breaking the silence that had always been there. After such a long time, the enemy army finally began to move.

The enemy army lined up in a neat phalanx, at the front, a row of sergeants holding large shields, slowly moving forward, followed closely by other sergeants, all holding small shields, raised upwards, defending against possible arrows, and then behind, the tower moved slowly, the cloud echelon followed behind the tower, and the back of the attacking team was the car that rushed to the city.

In this attack of the enemy, half of the troops were invested, and the remaining sergeants were stuck in place and did not move.

The phalanx of the enemy troops marching forward, about 3,000 people, with a clear division of labor and good equipment, seemed to have come prepared.

"Interesting. Yu Sheng grinned, turned around and ordered loudly, "Bow and crossbow ready, maximum range!"

On the city wall, about 1,000 people raised their bows in unison and rushed diagonally into the sky, the sound of the bowstring tightening was endless.

"Three shots, let's go!"

Yu Sheng gave an order, and the rain of arrows immediately flew out, like flying insects in transit, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the opposite phalanx.

The enemy phalanx immediately raised its small shield to defend against the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and for a while, the sound of "clanging" from the rain of arrows on the shield came one after another, like a heavy rain, dripping on the earth.

A rain of arrows ended, followed by a second wave, a third wave.

Three waves of dense arrows rained down, causing considerable casualties to the enemy, and about 100 enemy soldiers died under the attack of this arrow rain.

Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the vacant phalanx of the enemy army, and after a while, he was filled by the sergeant behind him, and he couldn't help but show a playful smile on his face, the strength of this wave of enemy troops, he immediately had a judgment in his heart.

"Freedom to attack, remember, don't move their push towers, the city carts must be destroyed. Yu Sheng waved his hand and let the sergeants attack freely, but he leaned on the battlements, sat down, and no longer commanded, and actually began to close his eyes and recuperate.

In his opinion, at this level of the enemy's army, he really did not need to command step by step, and only relied on the actions of experienced sergeants to defuse this siege. Judging from the filling of the vacancies in the enemy's phalanx, the quality of the enemy army was indeed too much worse than the enemy army in the siege battle he had encountered before.

Outside the city, the screams were endless, on the city wall, the sergeants kept shooting arrows in their hands, but they didn't say a word, and each sergeant's face was calm and calm, and the enemy's ability was completely in their eyes.

Huang Yuchen, standing on the hill in the distance, witnessed the attack of the enemy army in front of him, and looked at the fallen enemy army one by one, before advancing to the edge of the city, more than half of it had been lost.

"Is the enemy's commander brainbroken......" Huang Yuchen glanced at several guards who were watching the battle together, and said, "Isn't it self-defeating to let such a sergeant come forward to attack the city." ”

"The literacy of this wave of enemy troops is really insufficient. A guard on the side said softly: "But the first wave of the offensive should be just a test, the enemy army is not very many, although the city wall of Changxiang City is not high, but there are more than ten zhang, if you really launch a general attack, no matter what, more than 3,000 sergeants are not enough." In a siege battle, if the attacker does not invest more than three times the defender's troops, there is no possibility of capturing it. ”

"They have 3,000 men now, probably three times as many as they are defending at the moment, and they are beaten like this. The other guard shook his head lightly and said, "This battle is almost one-sided, and there is no quality at all, and the brothers at the head of the city must feel a little boring." ”

Huang Yuchen didn't speak again, but looked at the front door on the side, there was still no movement at the front door, the enemy had no intention of besieging the front door, and the sergeants guarding the front gate did not support the back door at all, leaning on the battlements one by one, resting quietly.

"They don't want the army to overwhelm the realm and force us to abandon the city and flee, right?" Huang Yuchen looked at the battle at the back door, and then looked at the front door without moving, the two city gates formed a stark contrast, this idea couldn't help but enter Huang Yuchen's mind.

"Huh. One of the guards chuckled and said: "Then they will be greatly disappointed, with the temper of the city lord, now take the initiative to enter the urn, and it is not bad if they don't kill them and escape, if you want the city lord to abandon the city, people with such ability have not been encountered yet." ”

"That's right, Vice Admiral Ma, don't worry. Another guard said: "After following the city lord for so many years, there has never been a case of abandoning the city and escaping, if the enemy army is really arranged like this, then let them wait, if they are impatient, they will inevitably come to attack the city." ”

Huang Yuchen blinked, what the two guards said, of course he believed that Yu Sheng's ability was definitely top-notch, looking at the entire Qitian Empire, he was also an outstanding general, and it was almost impossible for the enemy to give up for the rest of his life with such an attack. He looked at the six detachment formations he had arranged behind him, and then at the siege battle that was going on below, and felt a little bored in his heart.

As far as the enemy's offensive is concerned, I am afraid that these few detachments will not be able to play a role.

Huang Yuchen looked bored, and at this moment for the rest of his life, he was still closing his eyes and recuperating, compared to the screams that came from time to time under the city, on the city wall, he could only hear the sound of the bow and crossbow.

Less than a mile away, the enemy's 3,000 sergeants were fully loaded and pushed forward, and by the time they reached the city wall, half of their men and horses had been lost, and when the cart came into range of the crossbow, it had been stared at by a small group of sergeants, and all the enemy soldiers who had come forward to push the cart had been shot, and now no one dared to push it. All the enemy troops hid behind their shields and towers, trembling forward.

Finally, after the cost of almost half the men, the enemy finally pushed the tower to the edge of Changxiang City.

"Knock ......"
