The ramming wood directly attacks the city gate. Once the city gate is breached, the defense on the city wall is meaningless.

The wall must be dealt with first!

The ramming tree is a relatively big threat and is not difficult to make. It is almost a weapon that will definitely appear in a siege. When the Panshi Camp is there, there will naturally be special methods to deal with the ramming tree.

Right above the city gate, the defenders began to throw oil barrels down.

The barrels were full of kerosene, and each barrel weighed more than a hundred kilograms. It was not a difficult task for the defenders to move the heavy oil barrels up to the gap in the battlements more than one meter high. But this was on the battlefield, with hundreds of people under the city.

The archers were watching eagerly. After the first oil barrel was thrown down, the Montenegrin army tried their best to prevent the defenders from continuing to push the oil barrel down. Arrows rained down. Many sergeants were injured by arrows while trying to move the oil barrel. Although a few

An oil barrel was pushed down, but it failed to hit the wall and the kerosene flowed to the ground.

"Boom!"

The city wall continues to attack the city gate!

At the critical moment, a blue figure rushed over, holding a euphorbia in one hand, and grabbed an oil drum with one arm. Without stopping, he kicked off with force, and actually climbed onto the battlement with an oil drum weighing more than a hundred kilograms. That person

Exhaling loudly, he threw out the oil barrel in his hand. The oil barrel accurately hit the wall of the wall, causing fire oil to splash everywhere.

Such a brave person is naturally Qu Chen.

Arrows flew from the city, the shadow of the halberd spread out, and the jingling sound sounded one after another, but they could not hurt Qu Chen in the slightest.

Qu Chen smashed the second legion skill as a retaliation to the Black Mountain archers, and the city was completely blank again.

The sergeant nearby threw down the torch, and the kerosene was ignited. The ramming log caught fire. The Montenegrin army who pushed the ramming log was forced to retreat. They collected sand and soil on the spot to cover the fire on the ramming log. Due to the previous smashing,

There were too few oil barrels in the wall, and there was not much kerosene on the wooden walls, so the fire was gradually brought under control.

How could Qu Chen let them succeed? He dropped two oil barrels one after another and hit them accurately on the wall. The fire spread to the entire body of the wall and was out of control.

The city gate crisis is over!

The bravery of the general was seen by all the soldiers guarding the city. Their morale was greatly boosted, and everyone worked bravely. They all rushed to be the first. The Black Mountain soldiers who climbed the city suffered heavy losses. More importantly, the ladders were used less and less.

It was also destroyed, and there was no chance of success if we continued the attack.

With the sound of gold ringing, the Black Mountain Army finally retreated to the canyon road.

On the city wall, there was a scene of joy.

A group of cavalry who had not been trained to defend the city repelled the enemy's fierce attack. They were proud of their power and pride.

Qu Chen, who had been so powerful in the previous battle, showed a completely different calmness. He asked the exhausted soldiers to rest in the city and replaced them with a group of fresh troops; taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, he asked the villagers waiting under the city to replenish their troops.

Ordnance and supplies to prepare for the next round of battle.

He knows that the enemy will come again and will not give them much time!

The longer it is delayed, the defender's army skills will gradually recover, which will cause greater damage to the attacker.

The Montenegrin Army has sufficient troops at its disposal, and the siege equipment prepared by the opponent is definitely more than this.

The several-mile-long canyon road is very unsuitable for large troops to garrison. Prisoners have confirmed that Kusu set up a temporary camp outside the valley, and siege equipment was also made outside the valley. The canyon road not only prevents the opponent from garrisoning a large number of troops, but also

It brings a lot of trouble to the transportation of ordnance, resulting in the lack of continuity in the Montenegrin Army's offensive. The Feiyu Army has used practical actions to make the Montenegrin Army understand that they are not an opponent that can be easily defeated, so the Montenegrin Army should invest more in the next wave of attacks.

troops.

Ten minutes later, the Montenegrin army came back.

Fighting broke out again in the direction of Canyon Road.

Despite the disparity in strength, the defenders relied on the favorable geographical location to make it difficult for the Black Mountain Army to deploy its troops. A large number of troops were piled in the open space outside the city wall. The only people who could pose a threat to the defenders were archers and a few people who climbed ladders to climb the city. The Polu Cavalry continued to accumulate in actual combat.

With experience and confidence, the response is becoming more and more proficient. In addition, there are king-level generals like Qu Chen who have been supervising the battle at the top of the city, and the position at the top of the city is defended watertight.

The archers who pose the greatest threat to the defenders become the priority targets of the legion's skills and suffer heavy losses!

As time goes by, Polu Cavalry becomes more and more adept at guarding.

After more than half of the second batch of ladders were destroyed, the defenders began to have enough energy to invest more long-range troops on the city and launch arrows to counterattack the enemy forces below the city. Qu Chen even bent the bow and arrows himself. Although he was not famous for his archery skills,

But when shooting at such a close distance, the arrows were all fired, killing more than ten Montenegrin archers one after another!

Another group of Black Mountain troops carrying ladders rushed out of the canyon road.

Behind the Feiyuling city wall, there are ten arrow towers.

Dozens of soldiers were stationed in the arrow tower, which was constantly spitting out arrows to support the defenders on the city. The firepower of the arrow tower in the middle was obviously weaker than that of the other arrow towers, and there were two non-combatants inside. Qu Chen was determined not to.

Xun Yan and his lord agreed to go up the city wall during the battle, but they had no choice but to do the next best thing and climb up the arrow tower to watch the battle.

Seeing that the soldiers defending the city had stabilized their position, the two of them were extremely relieved.

It is indeed not an easy thing for a group of rookies who have never been on the battlefield to encounter such a strong opponent in the first battle and not be defeated by the enemy. Instead, they fought vigorously.

Qu Chen played a key role.

He was brave and fearless, and took the lead. He taught everyone how to protect themselves on the battlefield, kill the enemy, and never flinch at critical moments, which gave the soldiers great confidence.

What the two of them particularly praised was Qu Chen's rotation of the soldiers.

1,500 new recruits on the Western Front City Wall Defense Line, in units of centurions, climbed onto the city wall in batches to participate in the battle. Qu Chen would not replace everyone on the city wall. One centurion went up, and there were two "veterans" of the centurion beside them.

Pass on the guidance and teach the newcomers the battlefield survival skills you have just learned, so as to prevent the ignorant recruits from paying unnecessary blood and tears. Each hundred-man team takes turns to play, changing teams in basically ten minutes, and it takes about thirty minutes to go up.

Can come down and rest.

The benefits of doing this are very obvious. It not only allows the defenders on the city to maintain good physical strength, but also allows everyone to take turns to experience how cruel the real battle is, laying the foundation for the more intense battles to come. Many soldiers are taking the time to exchange their experiences and hope that

Perform better the next time you attack the city.

The fighting was going on in the city, and there was no peace below the city either.

The defensive supplies on the city were constantly being consumed, especially arrows and kerosene. The territorial officials organized a large number of civilians to carry them to the city, and they were very busy. The damaged defensive equipment, such as poles, were brought down by the civilians, and craftsmen

They are repairing urgently; doctors are treating the wounds of injured soldiers...

Yu Buzhi looked in the direction of the city ladder and said, "The navy is also going up."

Xun Yan: "Yes, all the Polu cavalry have been rotated. The second general should have considered that the navy is more vulnerable to infantry combat than the Polu cavalry. Now that the situation has been stabilized, it is time for the navy to go up."

Yu Buzhi thought for a while and asked, "Xiuruo, do you think the Black Mountain Army's tactics are a bit strange?"

"Appreciate further details."

"With Feiyu's terrain and troop strength, nine thousand people of the Kusu tribe want to attack through the canyon road, but there is little hope of success. Look at their attack, there are many people, but only a few can directly enter the battle, and there is no way to have a military advantage.

If I am in trouble, I can either mobilize enough ladders and wall-ramming trees to launch a general attack, or simply withdraw from the siege. If they continue like this, they are just here to die!"

Xun Yan said: "My subordinates also feel this way. If it's not that they don't know how to use soldiers, they have other plans."

The two of them felt dark in their hearts.

If the enemy has other plans, focus on them.

There are two roads when entering Feiyuling, one is the canyon road to the west, and the other is the sea road to the east.

Yu Buzhi said decisively: "Pay attention to the sea and ask the navy to send more scout ships out to be careful!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the second general has already issued the order earlier."

The situation on the city was stable, and there was a warning on the sea to the east. There was nothing to worry about for the time being. Yu Buzhi was relieved, and he and Xun Yan left the arrow tower to make room for the archers.

As soon as they reached the ground, Ni Yi ran over sweating profusely and looking a little uneasy.

Ni Yi discovered that the arrows on the city were being consumed very quickly, and the stock of arrows in the arsenal had been reduced by 20%.

If consumed at this rate, the arrow stock will not last for three days!

Yu Buzhi looked livid: "What's going on?"

The soldiers on the city were fighting a bloody battle with the enemy, and the logistics suddenly came to say that the arrows were fired too fast. What on earth were they trying to do?

Xun Yan gave an explanation.

The number of blacksmiths in the Flying Fish Territory is far less than that in the Zhulu Territory. After the special territory is created, the blacksmiths not only have to make armor and arrows, but also are responsible for making farm tools for the territory, so their productivity is limited.

After the Youbian wolf disaster broke out, the Panshi Battalion entered Youzhou to fight, and Feiyu led the army to consume a lot of arrows accumulated in the early stage. Feiyu took the lead and expanded the Panshi Battalion twice. Then the Polu Cavalry and Zhanjiao Battalions were officially launched, and the troops and equipment were all required.

It was built by a blacksmith. Recently, it was difficult to complete the equipment requirements for the army and began to replenish the arsenal with spare armor and arrows. Unexpectedly, the Montenegrin Army suddenly invaded in large numbers, and the problem of insufficient arrow stock immediately became apparent.

"My lord, the territory has been working hard to make arrows, but I didn't expect the city to consume them so quickly..."

Seeing Xun Yan's guilty look, Yu Buzhi's face brightened slightly.

Feiyu collar’s ​​production capacity is limited, this is a fact.

It is also true that they spent a lot of money in Youzhou in the early stage and then greatly expanded the army.

Strictly speaking, Xun Yan had no responsibility. It was just a series of coincidences that led to this situation. The battle on the front is fierce now, and there are not enough arrows. Even if the craftsmen are working overtime to make them, they can't keep up with the consumption on the front. If three days later

If the Montenegrin Army still refuses to retreat, the frontline soldiers will have to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy throughout the entire process, and the casualties of the troops will increase significantly.

No one wants to see this situation.

Yu Buzhi couldn't bear to blame Xun Yan harshly. Now is not the time to hold him accountable. The top priority is to solve the problem.

He has only one request.

"No matter what method is used, we must ensure that the frontline soldiers have enough arrows!"
