Chapter 357: Capture the thief first capture the king
Such a scene will surely be unforgettable for the rest of your life once you have seen it. How strong is Xiangcheng's city wall? It is famous for that! First, the earth city wall was built with rammed earth, which was more than five feet wide, and then it was built with two layers inside and outside.
The bricks and stones fit together tightly. In this way, under the blows of Yufeng Kingdom's strange trebuchets, they turned into ruins. The most terrifying thing was that the earthen city walls were exposed in several places.
This is not over yet. This is just a phenomenon caused by the huge rocks thrown by the catapults. The most terrifying thing is that hundreds of iron spears, at least two feet long, have been nailed to the south wall of Xiangcheng. Behind these iron spears
There is still a curve. As long as the ladder is set up on the city wall, don't push it down. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Yufeng Kingdom who were originally high in momentum now attack even more arrogantly. The defenders on the city wall are still
Before the formation was fully extended, they had already climbed to a position like a city wall.
"Hold on for a while and let me think about it." All of this happened suddenly, and Jiang Tianyuan had no choice but to use his flesh and blood to block Yufeng Kingdom's attack. Just when Jiang Tianyuan was thinking of a way,
Ling Yuhao and Wan Canghai became the focus of attention on the battlefield. It was seen that they could take away a life with just one shot.
"Save your strength, only those who are about to climb up!" Ling Yuhao persuaded him quickly when he saw that Wan Canghai was killing the soldiers of Yufeng Kingdom. He was not worried about Wan Canghai's physical strength, but there were several times when he clearly saw
Wan Canghai shot an arrow through one person's body and then shot another person to death. It was okay in the early stage of the battle, but sooner or later it would be too much if the battle lasted for a long time, and the damage to his arm would also be very serious.
Jiang Tianyuan suddenly saw where Xiao Wuchang and Wei Xiaocheng were. Jiang Tianyuan's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the smoke and dust of the battlefield. When he looked at Xiao and Wei, they seemed to be looking at Jiang Tianyuan. When Jiang Tianyuan and
When their eyes met, Jiang Tianyuan felt calmer inside. This calmness was different from the previous feeling. Although he had calmed down before, the thoughts in his mind were messy, but this time he felt that
My thoughts have been streamlined a lot.
"One hundred feet..."
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. If you want to let the defenders take a breather, you have to find a way to threaten Xiao Wuchang. Jiang Tianyuan estimated the distance from their place to Xiao Wuchang's location. This distance is probably only the Wanli Qi in Yi Wen's hand.
Only the clouds and smoke can be shot, and this Xiao Wuchang knows it very well. The catapult can actually reach the position where they are, but the accuracy of the catapult is too poor, and it is still difficult to deal with Xiao Wuchang.
"Forget it, let's solve the immediate problem first!" Jiang Tianyuan immediately ran to the other side of the city wall and asked the catapults on standby in the inner city wall to start throwing stones at the location he had estimated before.
"Is that possible? If the pressure here is too great, I will take people out to fight with them to relieve the pressure here." At this time, Lei Qian stepped forward and said.
"If we want to quickly solve the crisis in Xiangcheng, we can only solve Xiao Wuchang and Wei Xiaocheng in this battle. Before the general offensive is launched, this time Xiao Wuchang will probably go into battle in person for the last time. If we wait until the general offensive, we can use Xiao Wuchang's body to attack
My brain is a bit late." After Jiang Tianyuan finished speaking, he picked up a bow and joined the defenders.
"General, the stone from this catapult is so big that we can't even see Xiao Wuchang? Who knows if Xiao Wuchang is dead?" Lei Qian's personal guard asked doubtfully on the side.
"If you were Xiao Wuchang's personal guard, what would you do after Xiao Wuchang was hit by a boulder?" Lei Qian said calmly.
After Lei Qian's prompting, the guards realized that if Xiao Wuchang was hit, the surrounding soldiers would definitely move closer to Xiao Wuchang and try to rescue him. At that time, only
If a large number of people approach Xiao Wuchang's location, it means something has happened to Xiao Wuchang, provided that their catapult can hit Xiao Wuchang.
The morale of the soldiers in a war has a great relationship with the victory of the war. The person who can stabilize this morale is the general. If the enemy general is killed, the morale of our side will greatly increase. If the local
As long as the general is alive, it will have a constraining effect on the morale of one's own side. Therefore, battles with a general and without a general can be said to be two ways of fighting.
Not long after, the catapults in the inner city wall were ready. Following Lei Qian's order, dozens of boulders jumped up and flew towards the local formation. Seeing the rocks flying in the air, Jiang Tianyuan immediately began to search for Xiao.
The positions of Wuchang and Wei Xiaocheng. Xiao Wuchang and Wei Xiaocheng also saw the boulders coming from the sky. They didn't know whether they were too panicked or because their horses were frightened. They seemed to be swaying while riding.
As Jiang Tianyuan expected, the first round of stone throwing did not pose any threat to the two of them, but only caused damage to the surrounding soldiers. After the first round of stone throwing, the two people also changed their positions slightly. The surrounding soldiers should be in
Following their instructions, they dispersed. Jiang Tianyuan turned around and returned to the other end of the city wall to help the soldiers in the inner city wall correct their direction and prepare for the second round of projection.
"More people at the city gate! Hurry!" Just when Jiang Tianyuan only knew how to use a catapult, a school captain covered in blood called several of his men to support him at the city gate. Although the structure of the two-story city gate was very suitable
We were engaged in a defensive battle, but the spears fired by Yufeng Kingdom's catapults were nailed between the inner and outer city gates, which greatly restricted the movement of the soldiers between the two gates.
"Come back! No need to guard the city gate!" Jiang Tianyuan grabbed the captain and said.
"What? Military advisor, what did you say?" The captain wiped a handful of blood mud on his ears, thinking that he heard wrongly. Now the battle has entered a fierce stage, and giving up the guard of the city gate at this time is tantamount to suicide.
.
"Leave a few active men anywhere to light the fire and smoke them! They won't be able to hold on for a while! Put your hands on the city wall and find someone to replace the archers!"
Jiang Tianyuan just discovered that the archers in the first round were already a little exhausted. If we continue to fight, it will definitely be detrimental to our side. The archers they arranged are one archer from the Wind and Thunder Department for every thirty defenders.
When you are strong enough, switch to the next round, so that allocating personnel can maintain the army's ability to fight for a long time as much as possible.
Here, Jiang Tianyuan had just finished assigning the mission to the captain, and the boulder behind them flew up again. Jiang Tianyuan looked at the trajectory of the boulder, thinking that there might be a way out this time! The deflection of the boulder that landed on the ground with the first two shots was really outrageous.
, the place where the landing point is Xiao Wuchang is thousands of miles away! Jiang Tianyuan thought, forget it, just think of it as confusing them.
When the thought flashed through Jiang Tianyuan's mind, he saw a huge boulder hit exactly where Xiao Wuchang and Wei Xiaocheng were. Jiang Tianyuan couldn't help but tremble when he saw it. Fortunately, this thing was not a smash.
On himself. At the same time, there was an unreal feeling coming from the bottom of his heart. The world-famous Xiao Wuchang died like this? But then he thought about it, even if Xiao Wuchang had three heads and six arms, such a big stone fell from such a height.
If the place falls, it will be difficult not to die.
When all the boulders fell, a group of people suddenly surrounded the place where Xiao Wuchang and Xiao Wuchang were just now. Jiang Tianyuan smiled. It seemed that the boulder had hit. He didn't know who it hit, but no matter
Whoever was hit by the stone would definitely not survive. The stone weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from such a high place, which was no different from a mountain pressing down on him.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Yufeng Kingdom who were attacking the city suddenly heard a rapid drum beat. This drum beat represented
When an emergency occurred, everyone immediately retreated. The soldiers who were constantly attacking looked at the target that was so close and showed regretful expressions, but there was no way what else could they do if they didn't retreat at this time despite the military orders?
At this time, the soldiers of Gu'an Kingdom had an unreal feeling. This was the second battle since the beginning of the war. How could the enemy's general be eliminated so quickly? The soldiers on the city wall were stunned for a while and then suddenly felt
The congestion in the chest was relieved, and this refreshing feeling made the soldiers on the city wall excited.
"Go back!"
"Fuck you all!" Seeing the soldiers of Yufeng Kingdom retreating, the defenders on the city wall wiped the blood on their faces and yelled. After sacrificing so many people, why not vent?
Everyone present knew that the next battles would become more difficult each time. Ling Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and asked the soldiers to quickly clean the battlefield and rest. It would be best to find a way to get rid of the steel guns on the city wall and arrange
After they recovered, Ling Yuhao and the four returned to the city compound again. The soldiers could rest, but as the heart and brain of the army, they had not yet rested.
"This is a relief! According to the situation just now, the person who died should be Wei Xiaocheng. Xiao Wuchang is probably also injured." Ling Yuhao said while rubbing his sore arm.
"Should we organize a counterattack now? Take advantage of their low morale to catch them off guard." Wan Canghai had not only exerted great strength in the previous battle, but now he seemed to be still immersed in the killing.
"Canghai, we still can't let down our guard now. We have to prepare for the worst now. There is still a gap between Xiao Wuchang and Luo Qingbai. If Xiao Wuchang loses his command ability or dies, then what we will face next is
The legendary Luo Qingbai is gone! Although Xiao Wuchang is the leader of this army, the source of the momentum of this army comes from Luo Qingbai. Even if Xiao Wuchang dies, as long as Luo Qingbai is still alive, they can still maintain their extreme strength.
High combat effectiveness." Jiang Tianyuan did not feel relieved because he defended Xiangcheng this time.
Although they were going to face Luo Qingbai next, he was not discouraged by this incident. If he was discouraged because he met someone stronger than himself, then don't lead the army.
"Is Luo Qingbai?" Lei Qian frowned, and there was a smell of blood on his body. It seemed that Lei Qian was very excited about being able to fight against Luo Qingbai.
"This old guy killed so many of our brothers back then, and now it's time for revenge!" The mention of Luo Qingbai brought back bad memories of Ling Yuhao.
Twenty years ago, when Ling Yuhao was still a captain, he participated in a battle against Luo Qingbai. That battle was still unforgettable for him. At that time, a total of seventy-four people were captured on the frontal battlefield. When the subsequent battle began,
Previously, Luo Qingbai chopped off the heads of seventy-four people in front of them, three of whom were his subordinates and one was a personal guard who had been with him for three years.
"Be prepared! The next battle may be even more cruel." After Ling Yuhao finished speaking, he closed his eyes. The most important thing for an archer is his arms and eyes. The battle just now made Ling Yuhao's eyes a little sore. Take a rest now.
to cope with the subsequent battle.
This battle came later than they expected. They waited for a full hour before the enemy troops appeared outside Xiangcheng again. By this time, the sun was already setting, but the enemy's morale seemed to be worse than before.
