Chapter Twenty-Nine: Thousands of Troops
As Liu Hao expected, Zhang Yiping really attacked the city with catapults first, and ten catapults threw stones at Izumo City without interruption, violently hitting the walls of Izumo City, and it didn't take long to collapse two arrow rain towers and two bed crossbows. Although the six stone artillery carts in Izumo City www.biquge.info also throwing stone cannons non-stop, the blow to the enemy was limited, and after Zhang Yiping readjusted the army formation, the stone artillery carts in Izumo City were even more useless, and almost none of them could hit Zhang Yiping's army. What Liu Hao didn't expect was that the enemy's catapult was so powerful, and the boulders thrown far exceeded his imagination.
"If this continues, I'm afraid that Izumo City's protective facilities will be smashed, what is the opinion of the military advisor?" Liu Hao asked Nie Yuan with a frown.
"The enemy is well-armed, morale is high, and the command is methodical. At this moment, we can only carry it hard, we must calm down, the boulders of catapults are limited after all, as long as we can withstand the last two waves of attacks, there is nothing to be afraid of. Nie Yuan said to everyone.
There were two more waves of boulder crit, the four arrow rain towers of Izumo City were all smashed, three bed crossbows were destroyed, the potholes above the city wall were dilapidated, and the city wall was in danger of collapsing at any time, Liu Hao had to order everyone to come down from the city tower, and the three armies gathered near the inner gate of the city, the situation on the battlefield had exceeded his expectations, and he had to think carefully about how to make the next deployment.
"Now that Zhang Yiping's catapult ammunition has run out, he will definitely start attacking, and we should deploy it as soon as possible! Please ask Sister Du Jiayi to order her subordinates to arrange seven bed crossbows and six stone artillery carts at the city gate, and when Zhang Yiping approaches the gate of Izumo City, lead 80,000 archers out of the city to meet the battle. Miss Zishu led 60,000 infantry out of the city with the archers, and fought with Du Jiayi's sister's archers. Sister Luo Yaoxi led 50,000 cavalry to stand by here, waiting for instructions at any time!" Liu Hao immediately made a decisive arrangement for deployment, and after a little rest on the city wall, he began to re-ascend to the city wall with his military division.
Zhang Yiping saw that the protective facilities of Izumo City had basically been destroyed, and the city walls were about to collapse, such an astonishing destructive power far exceeded his expectations, he was overjoyed, and he gave an order, and the three armies launched a general attack, Xu Ning's 100,000 cavalry led the formation, Su Changqing's 100,000 infantry followed, and Yan Zhao's 100,000 archers were behind, and the three armies marched at the same time to support each other.
Zhang Yiping's 300,000 army began to insert into the heart of Yuncheng like a sharp arrow, Liu Hao and the others felt terrified, such a huge battlefield they had only seen in film and television dramas before, but now they have to wear battle armor to command the battle on the front line, it is absolutely impossible to say that they are not afraid, especially in such a weak situation.
A stormy sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, Xu Ning's 100,000 cavalry had galloped quickly, Du Jiayi led 80,000 archers to shoot a rain of arrows at the enemy in front, and at the same time, seven bed crossbows took turns to shoot continuously, and six stone artillery carts were also full of firepower, rolling in. Only the neighing of horses could be heard, and countless cavalrymen turned on their backs. Xu Ning's 100,000 cavalry suffered a great loss in front of Du Jiayi's 80,000 archers, and before they reached the foot of Izumo Castle, they had already lost 20,000 troops. Xu Ning roared: "Brothers, speed up and move quickly to avoid the rain of arrows!"
The 80,000 cavalry began to gallop forward at a desperate pace, and they reached the foot of Izumo Castle at once. Zishu led 60,000 infantry to quickly move in front of Du Jiayi's archers and blocked Xu Ning's cavalry. The 60,000 infantry immediately scattered and burst into Xu Ning's cavalry, attacking the horses with spears, a miserable horse roar resounded in the sky, and the cavalry on the horse fell down one by one, and was solved by the surrounding infantry on the spot, and after a while, Xu Ning's cavalry lost another 10,000.
Zhang Yiping shouted: "Not good!" and immediately shouted an order: "Yan Zhao, Su Changqing, you two quickly support Xu Ning!" Yan Zhao's 100,000 archers and Su Changqing's 100,000 infantry immediately increased their speed and ran wildly.
From the point of view of the troops, the infantry was able to restrain the cavalry, and Liu Hao took advantage of this. At the beginning, he ordered the three armies to retreat in the city to make Zhang Yiping relax his vigilance, and when Xu Ning's cavalry troops approached the city gate one step ahead, he suddenly sent an archer unit and a bed crossbow to shoot repeatedly, and after Xu Ning's cavalry broke through the arrow rain, he would meet the head with Zishu's 60,000 infantry and give it color. At this time, the other troops of the enemy had not yet arrived, and this was a good time to destroy Xu Ning's cavalry. It's a pity that Yan Zhao's archers and Su Changqing's infantry still arrived quickly.
Su Changqing's 100,000 infantry immediately moved in front of Zishu's infantry, and the two armies killed each other in close quarters, shouting loudly. At the same time, Xu Ning's cavalry quickly broke through the encirclement of Zishu's infantry and thrust fiercely into Du Jiayi's archers. The cavalry was able to restrain the archers, and Du Jiayi's 80,000 archers were rushed to pieces by Xu Ning's 70,000 cavalry in an instant, and the warriors on the war horses raised their knives like chopping vegetables, and there were bursts of miserable shouts, and it didn't take long for the foot of Izumo Castle to flow into a river of blood, and corpses were all over the field.
Liu Hao immediately shouted: "Quick, Sister Luo Yaoxi, the cavalry should be on board!" The gate of Izumo City slowly opened, and Luo Yaoxi's 50,000 cavalry immediately poured out to kill Xu Ning's 70,000 cavalry.
Zhang Yiping sat in the rear and looked at Liu Hao and Nie Yuan on the wall of Izumo City from afar, these two rising stars, one ranked second in the whole network, and the other ranked third in the whole network, and at this moment they were uniting to command the 190,000 army to fight against him, the commander of the 300,000 army who ranked first in the whole network, this is probably the result that the background system personnel want to see the most. But if there is a little hope, Zhang Yiping will never kill each other with many players, he has not tried, as early as in the present world, he once called on the relevant high-level to be vigilant against "Sword Jianghu" The operation team behind it, and later after the senior executives and major shareholders behind the game were all controlled by virtual artificial intelligence, he was the first to speak out to the public to call on the public to boycott the game, but unfortunately his appeal was blocked by the top management before it began to spread, and he himself was also inexplicably exposed by the media on charges of stealing trade secrets and wanted, if he hadn't mastered some high-level permissions in the game, I'm afraid he would have been murdered a long time ago.
Entering the game, he has only one goal, to replace the emperor as the supreme ruler of the game, get all the rights to the game, and then force everyone to go offline and destroy the game, only in this way can he save these players who have been lost in the game.
Since you have embarked on this path, you have to abide by the rules of the game in this world, the benevolence of women and chivalrous morality are just high-sounding empty words, only strong strength is the capital to continue to move forward, as long as you can achieve the goal, what if you can do everything?
Zhang Yiping took out the dragon and snake bow, one of the three major divine bows, took out eight arrows from the quiver and sandwiched them between his five fingers, aimed at Liu Hao and Nie Yuan on Izumo City, and used ten percent of his strength to pull open this huge divine bow, and the eight arrows were like wisps of golden light, and they shot on Izumo City in an instant!
