Those Beiliao people who were hit didn't even have time to let out a miserable howl.
Others were hit by stones and flew right in front of the reserve team below the city.
A stone hit the city wall hard.
Peng!
The city head seemed to be shaking.
Everyone was stunned.
He Chong slowly turned sideways, and there were three people lying behind him on the left side. One of them had his head missing. The brain that had been splashed on him should be this person's brain.
Of the other two people, one was hit in the chest and the other was hit in the lower abdomen, and their breath was gone.
The culprit had already fallen into the reserve team below the city, and two people were beaten to death.
He turned back slowly.
Look elsewhere.
The top of the city seemed to have just been ravaged by countless giant beasts, and the miserable howls were heard just now, just like howling ghosts.
"Here!" A sergeant pointed to the battlements.
The battlements are gone, and there is still a crack spreading downward like a spider web underneath.
De Chang walked to the front and pressed his hands on the battlements... He Song saw that his body was trembling.
Toku Chang turned around and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangwen, what is this?"
He Chong's face turned pale, "I don't know either."
A sergeant suddenly screamed, "This is a sharp weapon made by Yang Gou. It can suck people's souls..."
"Kill him!" He Chong roared.
The sergeant was beheaded, but the city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.
Under the city, everyone was looking at Yang Xuan.
Only Nan He was calm.
The defeat in the first battle greatly reduced the morale of the army and made many people doubt the battle.
But Yang Xuan was leisurely vacationing in the camp... This was a scene that many people saw.
This is pretending to be calm!
Zeng Guang and others had slandered him.
The convoy entered camp last night, which also attracted a lot of criticism.
At this moment, everything disappeared.
From suspicion to shock, it was just one blow.
Han Ji asked: "May I ask Mr. Lang, what is this?"
"Trebuchet!" Yang Xuan said calmly.
Tu Shang was taught the art of war from his family, and he had a deep understanding of such things, "How could Mr. Lang think of such an offensive weapon..."
He took a deep look at Yang Xuan and felt that there were many things that could be done.
Zeng Guang suddenly felt a little flustered. "I, it seems I was wrong."
Hong Jia nodded, "Yes, we were all wrong."
The trebuchet is reloaded.
"put!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The stones were spinning in the air, looking very slow, but in an instant they were in front of Nangui City.
Boom boom boom!
The city walls seemed to be groaning.
At the top of the city, the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty were screaming and hiding. In a panic, some even jumped off the top of the city, broke their legs, and howled there.
"This is hell!" Ning Yayun shook her head, "It's too scary. How did you think of such a sharp weapon, Zitai?"
"I originally wanted to make a wooden toy for Ah Liang to throw things, but after I made it, I thought, since I can throw small stones, can I also throw big stones?"
Yang Xuan pointed to his temples, "When people think about it, the gods become happy, so they made a trebuchet. I originally wanted to test it this time, but I didn't expect it! The effect is surprisingly good!"
What a joke!
Ning Yayun said: "Next, just smash it like this?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "Now, the initiative is in my hands. If He Chong wants to hold on, he must be prepared to be easily defeated."
Once the city wall collapses, there will be no danger of defending it.
"But what if the enemy is fighting in the streets? Fighting in the streets... I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties." There was a hint of sadness in Ning Yayun's eyes.
Yang Xuan smiled. "But why should I fight with him on the street?"
At the top of the city, a pale-faced He Chong shouted: "Look at those ghosts. If they can still fire after three times, let me know!"
He ran around the city, kicked up the soldiers who were huddled behind the battlements, and shouted filial piety: "Stand up, pick up your sword, be on guard!"
But after those soldiers stood up, when the trebuchet was fired again, they couldn't help but squat down and curl up into a ball. Some were even praying.
Morale!
Gone!
If Yang Gou uses prisoners to attack the city now, how long can he hold it back?
Stones roared and the city walls shook.
The chief of virtue came over, stepping on a pool of blood, "Sure, the city wall is unstable!"
He Chong nodded, "My original intention was to build a city to defend it and look for an opportunity to attack. I didn't expect Yang Gou to come up with such a crazy thing. I'm afraid the city wall won't last long. Once it collapses, all morale will be lost."
The character who used the word "crazy" couldn't help but nod his head, "Let's fight in the streets!"
He pointed to the city, "We have many people here, organized the young and strong, and turned the city into Yang Gou's dream demon!"
He Chong looked at him, "I've always said that it's not that good for you to act alone."
Virtue's chief couldn't help being astonished.
He Chong pointed to the city and said, "See for yourself."
The dechang looked over and He Chong said: "Most of the city is made of wooden houses. Why does Yang Gou want to fight with us in the streets? He only needs to light a fire and he can sit back and watch us being burned alive!"
Toku Chang waved his hands, "Then stick to it and fight Yang Gou!"
He Chong shook his head, "The city has turned into a hell, and the soldiers can only suffer. They are dying in vain... The longer they endure, the lower their morale will be. At that time, Yang Gou can defeat the prisoners with just one easy blow.
I'll wait."
"That……"
He Chong glanced outside the city and said, "Over at Ningxing, Your Majesty needs good news... But now the good news has turned into bad news. What is the only news that can comfort you?"
He looked at De Chang and said, "It's the bravery of my Daliao son who is not afraid of life and death! De Chang, you have to remember that as long as the Daliao men are still brave, then this Daliao will have a lot to do."
Tokushang heard some ominous omens, "Please be careful..."
"I will lead the army out of the city later, and you will hide in the city. Remember!"
"Xiang Wen!" Dechang knelt down, tears streaming down his face, "The lower official still slandered Xian Wen, I feel like Xian Wen..."
"Who hasn't had this kind of experience?" He Chong smiled. At this time, a wave of rocks came over, but he still said calmly: "Remember, tell your majesty, Yang Gou is very capable. I assert that he will quickly control the Northern Xinjiang Army.
.
Once he takes control of the Northern Xinjiang Army, with his aggressive attitude in the past, he will not be willing to defend Northern Xinjiang, he will take the initiative to attack and let His Majesty prepare to deal with it!"
This wave of stone rain set off a bloody storm at the top of the city, and a section of the city wall began to shake.
Toku Chang nodded, "Yes."
He Chong looked at him, "Finally, tell the king that I have never betrayed him!"
Tokucho choked up, "Yes. Please be careful and let me go!"
"If you can't see me, how can the soldiers fight with Yang Gou?" He Chong smiled, turned around and walked down the city.
"Move away the debris in the city gate and assemble!"
he shouted as he mounted his horse.
Outside the city, Yang Xuan said: "Street fighting is impossible. This is not the Tang Dynasty. I prefer arson... If a fire burns the city to a white ground, I will not have any thoughts, let alone nightmares."
"Tens of thousands of people were burned to death..." Ning Yayun felt that the deputy envoy in front of her was a bit demonic.
"Headmaster, this is a conflict between the two countries. If Northern Xinjiang is broken, do you know how many people will die under the sword of the Northern Liao people? How many people will become their slaves and live a life worse than animals from then on.
Those women will be insulted by them and killed by them... It is the incompetence of men that leads to women and children being bullied by outsiders."
"So, you can do whatever you want with outsiders."
"Yes." Yang Xuan smiled, "The defender's only choice is to stick to it, fight with our army at the top of the city, and consume our army. Of course, he can also leave the city, but I conclude that he dare not..."
"The city gate is open." someone shouted.
Yang Xuan, who was slapped in the face, looked at the slowly opening city gate in shock, "He Chong? I remember him!"
After a defeat in the first battle, his judgment was wrong again this time. This was a rare moment for Yang Xuan.
"This man has great talent, it's a pity." He Lianyan said.
"Attack!" Yang Xuan pointed forward.
The army in the city left the city.
The Northern Xinjiang army outside the city jumped over the trebuchets and ballistae and met them.
No one is timid!
The two armies gradually approached.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The footsteps disappeared.
Two silent arrays stand opposite each other.
Zeng Guang was looking across.
He didn't notice it in the past, but today he focused on observing the queues on both sides and discovered some differences.
The formation of the Northern Liao Army on the opposite side was neat and tidy, with no flaws to be found.
But if you look closely, you can see that the bodies of those Beiliao people are moving.
It's rare to be completely quiet.
Look here again...
As for the Northern Xinjiang Army, that is, Hong Jia and his subordinates, their formations were similar to those on the opposite side.
Looking to the right, over there is Chen Zhoujun.
That array!
It looks like a rock.
Under the rising sun, motionless.
It seemed as if they had arrived here countless years ago, and from that moment on, they had not moved.
The expressions of those soldiers were indifferent. Zeng Guang was convinced that if a mountain of swords and a sea of fire appeared in front of him at this moment, these soldiers would rush over without hesitation as long as Yang Xuan gave an order.
Keep moving forward!
And all this... Zeng Guang suddenly shook his head, "How did I think of this?"
However, when he looked at Hong Jia, he found that the same was true for him.
"This is an illusion!"
Can this be done by standing in a queue?
No one believes it except those who have tested it themselves.
They don't know what kind of help the array will bring to mental attributes and what kind of help it will bring to cohesion.
Opposite, He Song was shouting.
"Opposite is Yang Gou's subordinate, and under his banner is Yang Gou. The late emperor personally led the expedition, and the Northern Xinjiang Army used shameless means to deceive us. They are good at lying, good at..."
At times like these, lies are the art of war in order to win.
"He is a talent." Yang Xuan looked more appreciative, "However, it is best if the enemy's talent is dead."
"There are more than seven thousand enemy troops. Defeat them and we will return to Ningxing in triumph. Your Majesty will personally come out of the palace to greet us. Money, beauties... countless rewards are waiting for me!"
"From ideals to reality." Yang Xuan praised: "First, it raises awareness, and then uses money and beauty to seduce. It's interesting!"
Choking!
He Chong drew his sword and pointed it at Yang Xuan's flag, "At one go, rush to the flag, and I will beat the drums to cheer you on."
When I left the city, I also took a big drum with me.
He Chong dismounted.
He walked to the big drum and leaned over to pick up the drumstick.
Hammer hard.
winter!
He raised his head and shouted: "Kill!"
winter!
"Kill!"
The troops returning from the south were dispatched in full force.
"Prepare……"
In the Tang army formation, someone shouted, "Crossbow... release!"
A wave of black clouds flew by.
Zhao Yong is in the second row of the array.
He looked at the accelerating enemy cavalry and said, "Don't panic, this is fake!"
A war horse that can face an array of spears requires a long time of training, and the price is not small.
The defenders of Nangui City cannot possibly have that many elite troops.
Ren Da said: "Not necessarily!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Yong shouted rudely.
This is my brother...Ren Damoran.
Except for the two rows in front, the enemy cavalry that followed actually slowed down.
They were obviously waiting and watching, waiting for the two rows in front to open a gap, and then rushed in themselves.
He was right... Ren Da glanced at Zhao Yong.
The archers came out.
"Fire the arrow!"
The two rows of cavalry were attacked by a hail of arrows.
It has become much thinner, and there are even gaps in many places.
"Prepare!"
Zhao Yong shouted: "Put up the spear!"
The sergeants in the first row had already begun holding their spears flat.
The same goes for the second row behind them.
The enemy cavalry is getting closer...
Ren Da's breathing was rapid, his eyes were red, and his vision felt blurry.
"Hold the spear!"
Zhao Yong shouted.
Ren Da clenched the handle of his gun and watched the enemy cavalry crash into him.
"kill!"
The spearmen in the first row all assassinated.
Ren Da saw the spearman in front of him pierce the chest of the war horse with a spear. According to the regulations, he should abandon the spear at this moment and retreat to the second line.
But before he could let go, he was knocked away.
Ren Da was taken aback by him and almost fell down.
"Come forward!"
Zhao Yong shouted and led his team forward.
After Ren Da stood firm, he quickly followed.
The following enemy troops dismounted and charged with weapons.
"Stand still!" Zhao Yong shouted.
Ren Da rubbed his feet and found his balance point.
These are all included in the exercises and must be practiced every day.
The enemy army came up, and sporadic arrows flew in, causing the archers of Chenzhou Army to retaliate. Waves of arrows flew over the heads of Zhao Yong and others.
"kill!"
Zhao Yong took out his gun and assassinated his opponent accurately.
Ren Da was a little panicked, and he drew his gun crookedly, but was avoided by his opponent. Then the opponent was overjoyed, and rushed forward with a flash of his body.
"Hold the gun!"
Zhao Yong shouted.
Ren Da put away his gun, but his opponent was already coming!
A spear stabbed from his side like lightning, pierced into the opponent's abdomen, rotated and retracted the spear, all in one go.
Zhao Yong put away his gun and shouted: "First shot, be sure! Brothers, cheer for Ren Da..."
Team Zhao’s brothers shouted, “Cai!”
This loud shout made Ren Da's nervousness gradually dissipate.
"Prepare!"
Zhao Yong shouted: "Draw out the gun!"
Ren Da stared and shouted: "Kill!"
The spear in his hand thrust out and stabbed down the enemy in front of him.
He was trembling all over.
"Hold the gun!"
Zhao Yong is like a nanny, caring for this newbie in his first battle.
"ah!"
A sergeant was slashed with a knife and fell to the ground howling miserably.
Not long after, a brother was assassinated with a spear, not far from Ren Da.
He glanced at Zhao Yong. The captain's expression was calm but ferocious, and he fired his gun quickly and hard.
The moment he was distracted, his opponent changed, and he struck out with a knife.
"kill!"
Zhao Yong blocked a shot, then kicked Ren Da, "Kill him!"
Ren Da trembled, and subconsciously shot his opponent to death, and then shouted: "Yes, brother!"
A smile appeared in Zhao Yong's eyes.
They were fighting hard, and the array was maintained. No matter how many times the opponent attacked, the array was like a rock, motionless.
On the other hand, the Northern Xinjiang Army has been hit by opponents from time to time to create one or two gaps, which require the use of reserves to fill them.
"They are like one person!" Zeng Guang was trembling with excitement. "I know that this array can make countless soldiers become one person. Thousands of people are one person, and ten thousand people are also one person. With ten thousand people united as one, what an enemy."
The army cannot be defeated? It turns out..."
He looked at Yang Xuan under the banner and felt ashamed, "It turns out that I am the fool!"
Hong Jia saw the effect of the array one step earlier than him, and his face turned red at the moment, "Yeah, you are stupid! You are too shameless to see others!"
Winter winter winter!
The sound of drums sounded lonely from behind.
Several attacks failed, and the morale of the defenders, which had been dampened by the trebuchet strikes, was close to collapse.
The first deserter showed up, turned around and ran away!
"This is the first city I have conquered while taking charge of the Northern Xinjiang Army!"
"This is just the beginning!" Yang Xuan drew his sword: "I believe this will not be the last one!"
He looked at the generals and said, "The world always says that our Northern Xinjiang army is a tortoise, hiding in its shell all day long and living an ignoble existence. Today, I will lead you and others to tell the world that I, Northern Xinjiang..."
