Chapter 528: Attacking the City Overnight
The flood lasted for half an hour before it gradually receded.
By the time the water level began to drop to his waist, Li Fu could no longer support it.
Fortunately, the water potential at this time is completely able to withstand by ordinary soldiers.
Ren Baqian was startled when he saw Li Fu, only to see that Li Fu's hair and beard were sticking to his face, his face was pale, and his eyes were blank, as if he had been squeezed dry after three days and three nights of fighting.
"Senior, you...... Are you alright?" asked Ren Baqian cautiously.
"Boy, you have hurt the old man, stay away from the old man! Don't talk to the old man!" Li Fu said weakly.
"Uh......" Ren Baqian paused, and suddenly realized that the number one in the world was still a person.
At the beginning, Li Fu's stick shattered the mountain, making him feel like he had seen a god. Seeing his embarrassed appearance at this time, I don't know why my heart is a little dark.
Although this feeling was unfounded, the other party helped protect thousands of soldiers.
However, the gods became mortals, which still made Ren Baqian feel at ease for a while.
After all, Li Fu's strength is too strong, so strong that people can only look up.
Even the empress is far behind.
"Seniors take a good rest first, and when I go back, I'll get some big supplements, tiger whips, panda whips, goat weed, cistanche, etc., to ......make up for the seniors," Ren Baqian smiled with a courteous smile.
"Where is there so much mess!" Li Fu blew his beard and glared at him when he heard his words. He doesn't understand anything else, doesn't he understand the tiger whip?
He has not been close to women for more than 200 years, if he eats the tooth and tiger whip, can he still sleep?
Ren Baqian saw that Li Fu was looking for a place to lie down and rest, and then found the empress and said, "Your Majesty, although the soldiers are fine, the baggage is gone." ”
Now all that is left is the flying horse's mount, and the only ones left are the cattle and sheep sent by the valley city. The cattle and sheep had been in the rear, but they were driven up the hill in time. However, meat is now only eaten with cereals before the war, and if the whole army eats it with a stomach, it is a matter of one meal.
"There are in town. The empress said lightly, and then called Xiwanya: "Let the soldiers cut down trees and tie them into rafts, and prepare to cross the river." ”
He shouted justice again: "Let the flying horse prepare, and after a while, the water will reced, and the flying horse will cross the river first." The requirement for you is that you don't need to defeat the other party, just stand firm. If the opponent doesn't attack, don't take the initiative. ”
"Yes!"
After waiting for another hour, the water began to recede, and the original farmland was covered with mud and sand, leaving a large number of fish on both sides of the bank, the largest of which was even three or four meters long, full of fangs.
Ren Baqian hurriedly asked people to collect the fish, at least the grilled fish at night had fallen. If it weren't for the loss of all the baggage, even the pot for stewing soup would be gone, and everyone would still have a fish soup to drink.
It's a pity that the warriors who attacked just now died and fled, and there was not a single living mouth left, otherwise they could still find someone to test the poison.
However, most of the fish should be fine, just keep an eye out for the weird-looking ones.
Waiting for all the banks of the river on this side to be exposed, there was still a river about a meter deep on the opposite side, but the army on the hill could not wait any longer, and jumped into the water and ran away.
However, the smell was attached to the body, and the water could not wash it off, and a bunch of people disliked each other in the water, and finally the whole army rushed towards the city in the distance like a scattered line.
When the opposite river bank was exposed, the flying rider began to prepare to cross the river.
At this time, the water momentum also began to weaken, and the flying horseman threw a piece of wood into the water like a god, dozens of people worked together, and there was a driftwood every five or six meters, and there seemed to be three pontoon bridges floating downstream in the water.
Then one by one, they jumped towards the opposite side.
Occasionally, a few fools stepped on both ends of the driftwood, immediately fell into the water, and when they grabbed the driftwood and climbed up, they were already used as a human head ladder by the people behind, and they arrived at the riverbank with a blue nose and swollen face after suffering from an unknown number of feet.
After that, rafts made of seven or eight tree trunks were connected together and a pontoon bridge was laid in the water.
By the time it was getting dark, everyone was already on the other side of the shore.
During this period, a hundred households sent a message that the army that had fled back was not allowed to enter the city when it arrived at the city in front, and went directly to the rear around the city.
Otherwise, the smell of those people alone can reduce the combat power of the defenders by 30%.
At the same time, I am afraid that the combat strength of the soldiers besieging the city will also be affected.
Not everyone can be unmoved by the fresh taste.
When everyone had reached the other side, the fish collected on both sides of the river, together with a third of the cattle and sheep, had finally fed the people, and the army began to advance by night, reaching the vicinity of the city they had seen before in the middle of the moon.
"Your Majesty, this is Xue Yang City. It is said that Xie Kun, the capital of Yunan, is in the city, and there are at least more than 100,000 troops in the city. Ren Baqian pointed to the city in front of the empress and said.
The city illuminated by torches was filled with soldiers armed with bows and arrows, swords and guns, and was full of murder.
And above the city gate, several people who looked like military generals were watching in the direction of everyone, they knew that the ancient army had arrived here, but even by the moonlight, they couldn't see too far, they could only vaguely see some outlines, and heard the sound of passing along the wind.
Being able to hear, to know where they were, but not to see anything, made the people on the walls a little depressed.
However, the people of the ancient tribe saw the city wall clearly.
"Give the order to go down, rest for two quarters of an hour, and attack the city overnight. The empress instructed Xi Wanya Road.
Ren Baqian asked the grenades he brought this time to distribute them as well, and in the end there were sixty or seventy things left that looked similar to smoke grenades.
Ren Baqian looked at these things and suddenly laughed.
I used to carry these when I bought grenades, thinking about when I might be able to use them, but I didn't expect them to be able to use them so soon.
Find a fair account of the methods used, and let him send things down.
After two quarters of an hour, Xi Wanya began to organize his soldiers, and the rough sound pierced the night sky, making the people on the city wall suddenly nervous.
"They're attacking, archers ready, oil ready!" ordered a general-like man on the city wall.
The boiling oil that had been boiling hot at the head of the city immediately moved to the city one by one.
All eyes were fixed on the darkness beneath the city, only faint silhouettes swaying in the darkness, dull footsteps approaching the city walls, and loud shouts kept coming.
The soldiers clenched their weapons nervously, even if it didn't give them much security.
Under the propaganda of these days, everyone knows who is in the dark.
It is a ferocious barbarian.
Everyone believed that the city would inevitably be slaughtered after it was broken.
Whether it's for yourself or your family, you have to fight today, even if you die, you have to bite off each other's meat.
The general at the head of the city picked up a torch and threw it forward, which immediately illuminated the tall figures.
"Shoot!"
Everyone immediately shot the arrows in their hands in the direction they had just seen, and a group of people shot the bows and arrows in their hands, and immediately changed positions with the people behind them, and another batch of arrows rained down into the darkness.
And in the darkness, a large area of sword light also lit up, forming a cloud of light and shadow, blocking those arrows.
Hundreds of people rushed to the city, while dozens of cylindrical objects were thrown at the city.
"Bow your head!" just shouted, and all the flying riders immediately lowered their heads.
"Bang!" Unlike the grenade explosion, a loud bang exploded in the air with a strong light.
The blinding range of up to 30 meters was in the darkness of the night, and everyone was staring closely at the darkness, and the sudden flash of light caused even more damage.
Most of the people in the city were staring down at each other, and they only felt that their eyes were white, and they could not see anything.
Including some Jianghu warriors at the head of the city, they covered their eyes one by one and howled: "I can't see anything!"
Yet many people not only see nothing, but they also hear nothing.
In addition to the flash grenades of up to one million flashes, they also burst out with a noise of 170-180 decibels at close range, making some people temporarily deaf under such loud noise.
Suddenly, nothing could be seen or heard, which caused a great panic on the city wall, and many people crowded everywhere under the sudden fear, and collided, and one by one the boiling oil pots were knocked down, causing even greater chaos, and even many people fell directly from the city in a panic.
At this time, hundreds of small melons were thrown into the city.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of explosions and fires immediately rang out on the walls.
Then seven hundred flying horsemen jumped onto the city wall, setting off a rain of blood with the light of their swords.
The rebels had made all kinds of preparations and plans, and even if the landslides and water attack strategies failed, they still had a certain degree of confidence. They had enough troops to defend the city.
However, what they didn't expect was that in just an instant, the city head was lost.
