Volume 1 Mo Ascending Chapter 69 Before and After the Battle
The Turkic barbarians were already less than a mile away from the head of the Wandering Soul Fortress. Above the city, more than a dozen crossbows were lined up, and with the sound of drums, they gradually intensified, like raindrops in the hearts of many Tang Dynasty soldiers.
"Shoot!" Captain Zhenwu waved the flag, and there were more than a dozen buzzing sounds that tore through the air, like a spring thunder exploding, starting from the city and smashing straight into the army formation of the Turkic barbarians.
The huge crossbow arrows, like an eagle with flapping wings, found a delicious prey, and then turned sharply down.
The first crossbow arrow fell, and in the barbarian army formation closest to the city, a hole was torn, and no barbarian could still stand.
The crossbow arrows that smashed heavily into the formation of the Turkic barbarian army still flew forward for more than ten meters before they landed in the sand. After the crossbow bolts stopped, more than a dozen Turkic barbarians had already died one after another, and even several were still hanging on the crossbow arrows, wearing a blood gourd.
There was more than one crossbow arrow, so the water of the river, which was originally surging and rolling, slammed into more than a dozen gaps, and above the gaps, there was a bloodstained Gobi Desert.
But after all, it is a turbulent river, even if you encounter a few awkward stones, you can avoid it. After the crossbow bolts fell, the crowd surged, and the gap was quickly filled again, as long as the flag bearer was still standing in front of the array, and the Turkic barbarians followed closely behind, there was no reason to stop.
The crossbow arrows were fired in two rounds, although the lethality of this kind of crossbow was huge, but it took a long time, and after two rounds of crossbow arrows, the Turkic barbarians were less than three hundred meters away from the city.
"General?" Captain Zhenwu looked at Shi Fenming with inquiring eyes, and only this general in the entire city could be regarded as a battle-hardened old fritter.
"It's ready to go, so you don't have to wait. Shi Fenming squinted his eyes, looking at the turbulent river under the city, and felt a little touched.
Within 300 meters, the Tang Dynasty soldiers could reach the barbarian army formation with their bows and arrows, while the Turkic barbarians, on the other hand, could only shoot their bows and arrows on the top of the city when they reached a range of 200 meters.
The flag-bearer had stopped, and only the Turkic barbarian behind him, waving his scimitar, continued to rush forward.
More than a dozen tall rushing cars also showed their figures in the barbarian army array, and one by one the ladders were resisted by dozens of barbarians on their shoulders, and they followed closely behind the rushing cars.
The battering ram in the middle of the rushing car, the wiped Cheng Guangwa Liang, more than a dozen barbarian marksmen, from the watchtower on the rushing car, set up bows and crossbows, squinted their eyes, and aimed at the Tang Dynasty sergeant at the head of the city.
Ready to fly, don't wait!
So, in the hands of many sergeants in the Tang Dynasty, there was a trembling sound, which must be far worse than the sound of the piano in those green buildings, but this is the head of the city, which is the most beautiful tone under the sound of drums.
In an instant, above the heads of the Turkic barbarians, thousands of arrows rained down, covering the sky and the sun, not to mention that it was still early morning, even at noon, it was difficult for the scorching sun to pass through such a dense rain of arrows and fall on the Gobi Desert.
The Turkic barbarians took off their round shields from behind them, and the armaments of the Turkic barbarians were very simple, and they must be more than 108,000 miles worse than the Tang Dynasty soldiers, even if they were a ragtag army with a clear history, they were better equipped than these barbarians.
The barbarians only had leather armor, and the rain of arrows also fell in the blink of an eye, and many barbarians who did not have time to raise their round shields immediately lost their lives, did not go under the city head, did not touch the city wall, even if they walked more than a hundred meters forward, they could reach out and touch the city wall.
The rain of arrows never stopped, and the constant rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun floated up from the city and fell in the tide of the Turkic barbarians.
As long as the barbarians don't have time to stop it, they will be instantly pierced through the body, even if they barely survive, it will be difficult to continue to follow the army forward for a while.
There were many arrows, but they could not stop the advance of the Turkic barbarians, many of whom were already standing under the city walls.
The barbarians, who were very close, took off the saber and axe from their waists, and these Turkic barbarians, showing their strong arms, threw them at the head of the city, and the axes rushed up to the head of the city.
An axe split the head or chest of the Tang sergeant, and the Datang sergeant, who died instantly, took off the head of the city and fell into a ball of flesh.
Behind the front of the Turkic barbarians, the huge rushing cart was already less than fifty meters away from the city, followed by countless ladders. Those who stood on the rushing car and hid the best marksman, even if they were hiding in secrecy at this time, it was difficult to avoid the dense rain of arrows, and the rushing car was immediately stained red with blood.
At a glance, on the Gobi Desert under the Wandering Soul Fortress, there are countless Turkic barbarians.
On the top of the city, the rolling stones and sassalwoods were also used by many sergeants as powerful weapons for the next round of defense.
The heroes and death row prisoners who were hidden among the sergeants early on were all important factors that could turn the tide of today's battle into a favor for the Tang Soul Castle, and these people clenched the weapons in their hands tightly and waited for the battle.
As long as the car approaches the city, these heroes and death row prisoners will act as the counterattackers of the Tang Dynasty, rush down the city as soon as possible, and break through the siege equipment of the Turkic barbarians.
The battle between the Tang Dynasty soldiers and the Turkic barbarians had already burned in an instant, and a brilliant red would suddenly emerge from time to time above the rolling river.
And the three people who were far away from the battle array, Yuanba's silver spear took the lead, Guo Xiaojiu held a saber, followed closely, and had already begun to make a series of moves against Yu Fengyi.
is known as the first swordsman in Mobei, even in the face of the intensive offensive of the two, Yu Fengyi until now, the horizontal knife behind her is still not unsheathed, and even, the two of them have not even touched the corners of her clothes.
"Boss, play seriously, you don't have your past style at all. Guo Xiaojiu was repelled by Yu Fengyi's palm, and when he staggered past Yuan Ba who rushed forward, he let out a ridicule in his mouth.
The brilliant silver spear, after the words fell, began to be serious, a little bit of silver, from the gravel under his feet, broke out of the ground, with Yuan Ba's foot fell, it was already separated around the silver spear, with the movement of the silver spear, towards Yu Fengyi.
Guo Xiaojiu stopped his figure, his hands were on top of the saber, what he was best at was a fast knife and a fast sword, as well as a faster body. Thinking that at the beginning, he could be as fast as Ning Fuji's flying sword, so now, he regarded himself as a flying sword.
The lady of the charm frowned slightly, and a little positive color began to appear in her eyes.
This is a sign of respect for an opponent, at least it proves that Yuanba is capable of threatening her.
However, it was only reluctant to threaten her, to want her life, and even to hurt her, otherwise, how could she still raise it with one hand and grab at the head of the silver spear.
With Yu Fengyi's casual grab, the head of the gun stopped in her hand, and the little silver mangs seemed to be contained in the throat of fate, and she was not allowed to move forward for half a minute.
Yuan Ba, who was holding the gun with both hands, had a slight bead of sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help but work harder, so he nodded silver and began to tremble desperately.
After all, it was still difficult to break free from the slender jade hand that looked white, and with the smile hanging on the corner of Yu Fengyi's mouth, a little silver light, under the force of the palm, returned to silence and returned to the embrace of Mother Earth.
"That's all there is to it?" Yu Fengyi shook her head at Yuan Ba, as if she was not having a good time.
The silver spear is still in Yu Fengyi's hands, and almost all of Yuan Ba's strength is competing with Yu Fengyi for control of the silver spear, where is there time to pay attention to Yu Fengyi's ridicule.
may not have put in his eyes a saber boy who can fight three people who have entered the holy realm in the mansion of the deputy capital protection mansion alone, after all, no matter how strong he is, it is still a small fight among some juniors in the rivers and lakes, and he can't get into her Yu Fengyi's eyes.
Therefore, after repelling Guo Xiaojiu with one palm before, even Yu Fengyi himself didn't notice that the young man had long since disappeared.
Naturally, it is impossible to escape, Guo Xiaojiu is still betting with Yuanba, and he retreats from the battle, but he is not a good son of the rivers and lakes.
A trace of coldness quietly appeared behind Yu Fengyi, Guo Xiaojiu, who was holding the saber with both hands, stood still suddenly, the blade slashed horizontally, the knife did not fall, and the knife had already slashed on Yu Fengyi's back.
At first, Yu Fengyi just felt a little chill in her back, but after feeling the obvious knife momentum, the little irony for Yuanba, which was still hanging on her face, really became sarcasm.
The knife tore through Yu Fengyi's clothes, revealing her snow-white and delicate skin even though she was nearly forty years old.
