Chapter 22: Defending the City (1)
Seeing his lord so powerful, he shot the enemy army a hundred steps away with an arrow, which greatly improved his morale. The impact and shock shown by the cavalry sweeping over before was immediately relieved a lot. After all, they were not invincible, and they would die if they were hit by an arrow.
"I didn't expect that the lord's archery skills were so powerful. I admire him!"
Yang Rong, who was standing behind Liu Feng, flattered appropriately. At this time, his dress was very strange, not only with his disheveled hair, but also with a mask on his face.
Such a dress is obviously because he is afraid of being recognized by people who are familiar with him. Therefore, he has been living in seclusion for a while, and today he has no choice but to follow Liu Feng to the city wall.
"Haha, I'm just lucky."
Liu Feng listened to the cheers around and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, no one noticed that his arms were shaking slightly, which was a phenomenon of muscle loss.
For his current physical fitness, it was still very difficult to pull the two-stone strong bow at once. Just now, he used the attributes given by the official position of the system to stimulate potential and made such a move in one breath, but after shooting that arrow, the sequelae immediately appeared.
Fortunately, the sleeves in ancient times were big and the arms were hidden inside the two sleeves, so they were not discovered, otherwise they would not have the effect of the present.
"Shame, this is simply the shame of Hujie Army! Look at it, what is this called? So why should you persuade me to surrender? These thieves should be killed, and no one can be let go!"
Among the cavalry, a young general was furious.
This man was able to become a general who commanded a cavalry at a young age. His identity was naturally not simple. He was Cao Jun, the third son of Duke Cao of the current dynasty after the Cao family of the Daqian general.
This Hujie Army was not a member of the local garrison, but an elite force brought directly from Kyoto and was affiliated with the Zhenguo Army.
The purpose of Master Cao San came here was to make money. When the rebellion was over, he returned to Beijing, and what was waiting for him was to be promoted.
"The general calms down. After all, 'recruitment is the main and extermination is the auxiliary' is the strategy set by General Yang and others. The military orders are like mountains, and we cannot violate it."
A subordinate general next to Cao Jun persuaded.
"What a bullshit strategy this is, it doesn't work at all. These rebels have just been suppressed. What else can I bring to help my soldiers die! I must study his book after I go back."
Hearing Cao Jun's words, the two generals next to him looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes. General Yang set a strategy to surrender all the rebels and quell the rebellion without spending one soldier. But you let someone pass the message that except for the thief leader, the rest can be spared from death. It would be strange if they don't shoot you!
Compared with the eldest son, this is undoubtedly a playboy with great ambition and talent. No wonder Duke Cao didn't dare to let him go to the border army for training.
"No, I can't take a look at those thieves if I don't give some color, I can't swallow this tone!"
Cao Jun thought about it and felt that leaving just like this was too cowardly. Although cavalry was not suitable for siege, it did not mean that the thieves above could not be given some color. So he directly ordered, "The Hujie Army obeyed the order and shot the thieves above to death!"
"yes!"
With a neat roar, more than two thousand cavalrymen began to move. After they reached the range, they immediately shot an arrow at the head of the city, then turned their horses back and gave the position to the people behind them. They continued to cycle, and for a while, the arrows fell like rain and rushed straight to the city wall.
"Do away quickly! Lift the board!"
With a loud shout, many places on the top of the city raised a wide wooden board to block the arrows shot from below, but some soldiers were too panic and could not avoid it and were caught.
"Let our archer fight back immediately!"
Liu Feng immediately ordered that after all, if the cavalry below did not fight back while they were still within range, they would not be able to attack them after they had finished shooting the arrows.
"Yes! Archer ready!"
"Arrow ready!"
"shoot!"
As shouts spread from the city, the archers holding longbows immediately stood up under the leadership of their respective teams, and then fought back against the cavalry below under the rain of arrows.
As a sound of bowstrings sounded, a large wave of dense rain of arrows instantly covered the city wall, and the cavalry running below were all shot into arrows and fell to the ground.
This wave of arrows falling from the city was not only accurate, but also the crudely forged arrows could miraculously penetrate the armor on the cavalry and shoot into their bodies, taking their lives.
After the two sides shot at each other for a while, dozens of cavalrymen below died and hundreds were injured.
"Not good, withdraw quickly!"
Seeing this situation, the two experienced generals on the battlefield immediately issued an order to retreat without waiting for Cao Jun's order, and retreated the remaining cavalry to the range.
"What's going on? Why are our casualties so big?"
Seeing this scene, Cao Jun was also a little stunned, with a question mark on his face. Is the armor on the cavalry covered in paper?
He was a little confused about why the arrows on the city wall were so powerful! You should know that everyone in the Hujie Army was wearing armor. Although they were not heavy armor, except for strong crossbows and strong bows, ordinary arrows could not penetrate the armor pieces on their bodies at all.
Are the archers on the city walls all strong archers? Isn’t this a mob composed of hungry people? Where did the strong archers come from?
"General, let's retreat temporarily. If the opponent has a strong archer, it's safer to leave the siege to the infantry!"
A subordinate general persuaded that he felt very painful when he suffered so many casualties at once. You must know that cavalry training is not easy, especially elite cavalry like the Hujie Army. They will definitely be punished after returning.
Upon hearing this, Cao Jun's face changed rapidly, and finally nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
I saw the cavalry under the city retreating like a tide.
The people on the top of the city couldn't help but be overjoyed. Someone shouted loudly and said, "The enemy retreated, we won."
"We won~"
For a moment, cheers broke out above the city wall, and everyone showed joy.
Although he knew that the cavalry had just retreated temporarily and would definitely bring the large army back later, Liu Feng still couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
At the same time, the attributes carried by the official position of the system also gave him a big surprise.
The official position I just selected not only allows him to archery 1, but also causes damage to his long-range troops. This is why only an ordinary archer can shoot arrows equivalent to a powerful archer.
However, among the archer just now, there was a person who attracted Liu Feng's special attention, because this person's archery technique was very accurate, and he could shoot arrows without any effort, which was amazing.
"May I have your name?"
He walked over and asked.
"Little, villain Zhou Chen, pay homage to the lord."
Seeing the lord Liu Feng, the young man knelt on the ground nervously and replied.
He looked very thin and seemed to be able to blow down with a gust of wind, but his strength was not small, otherwise he would not be able to pull the strong bow in his hand and shoot a continuous bead arrow.
Just now, Liu Feng was attracted by Zhou Chen's continuous bead arrows and was able to shoot five arrows in an instant. This kind of ability is not something that anyone can have.
This is a talent!
He pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, Zhou Chen, why do you have a good time now? Do you work hard, I'll be optimistic about you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's face turned red and he quickly kowtowed and excitedly said, "Thank you, lord, I must be confused and I will never refuse!"
