The hinge plate newly replaced by Yuhengcheng is neither rusty nor stuck, and it is easy to push it.
As long as the city gate is lowered and a large number of troops enter the city, our side will definitely win!
So far, this round is going pretty smoothly.
One of the big men was about to grin when an arrow flew out of nowhere, penetrated the biting cold wind, and shot into his mouth with a "whoosh"!
The strong north wind actually did not deflect it from its direction.
A cloud of blood mist burst out from the back of his head, and he immediately threw himself onto the street before he could even scream.
Then three or four more arrows arrived, and a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out of the house on the corner of the street, with swords, guns and axes in their hands, and they reached the city gate in two steps!
Outside the city, when the rebels were still more than eighty feet away from the city gate, more than 200 soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air on the city gate, all of them wearing bright armor and wearing helmets properly.
Swish, flying arrows like rain.
The first row retreated voluntarily after shooting, and the second row stepped forward to shoot again.
The bandits dispersed immediately, all holding up their shields.
The ordnance on the city gate turned around, and it turned out that it had been loaded long ago. The muzzle of the cannon was pointed at the enemy, and it was fired, and the first round of shells went out.
What they filled were all explosive shells. More than 200 spikes as long as the tail finger were stuffed into one shell. After it hit the ground and exploded, the spikes inside shot out in all directions, smashing even people and horses into sieves!
The trebuchet on the city gate has also been started. All the trebuchets hit are hinged hammers, also called meteor chain hammers. They hit people, broke tendons and fractures, and hit horses' legs, which was even worse. The horses and men could fly several feet away while screaming.
More than half of the archers and bombloaders in the city were recruits who had just joined the army. Seeing the scene of people falling on their backs and blood and flesh flying everywhere under the city gate, even if they had been mentally prepared, they were still stunned with fear at this moment, and the hand holding the bow and ammunition was stunned.
They are all trembling.
There is no doubt that war, bloodshed, screams and death have an impact on novices.
The veterans nearby would often punch them and angrily remind them: "Don't be a coward! Keep going!"
At this time, several thieves who pushed the hinged door in the city were chopped into pieces. The army outside the city looked forward to it, but the city door creaked a few times and did not fall down.
Torches were burning above and below the city, and even the dullest leader understood that the internal response had failed.
The plan to break through the city gate without attacking also failed.
Of course, they still have a way to storm the city gate. The two giant bear demons in the team are carrying powerful crossbows. The crossbow arrows are five feet long. The hook at the top will bloom when shot on the city gate, making it firmly fixed.
This kind of giant crossbow does not need to be unhooked, and can be operated by someone standing behind it. Once the crossbow arrows are shot at the door, there are several powerful monsters behind the team, so they can try to drag the door down forcefully.
But there is no need to try now, because Yuheng City is obviously well prepared and waiting for them to attack!
The thuds of gongs rang out among the bandits, and the orderlies also shouted:
"Retreat, retreat!"
Yuheng City has a strong city and strong artillery. Their chance of victory lies in a surprise attack.
If these prerequisites are not met, what's the point of continuing the battle? It's just a futile effort to lose one's life.
Therefore, the bandit leader decisively ordered the evacuation.
This team was quite capable, and they did not retreat in a swarm. Instead, they changed direction and headed east.
As soon as they escaped, the artillery fire from the city became even louder.
Unable to escape a hundred feet away, row after row of thorns suddenly appeared on the ground under the feet of the bandits. The thorns were as small as daggers and as large as six or seven feet high. They all sprung up from the ground without warning, including people and horses. Got skewers.
There were shouts, screams, and curses everywhere.
This is the preset battle formation - a large ground stab formation.
It cannot move and consumes a lot of energy. It requires seven or eight magicians to work together to set up a formation and perform the magic together. No one can move around during the magic.
However, the power of the formation is considerable, and it is the best choice for ambushes and underhanded tactics.
By the time the rebels broke out of the stabbing formation and escaped from the artillery and crossbow range of the city gate, only more than 1,300 of the two thousand rebels were left, all of them looking frightened.
"Disperse, disperse!" There is a fork in the road ahead, and if you break it into pieces, you have a higher chance of survival.
This is not far from the border, everyone, please work harder.
They had just divided their forces and marched when a large group of people suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of them. Two more waves of arrows cleared the way, and then they swooped down from the forest, with a loud killing cry!
This is the real ambush!
…
An hour later, the battle was over.
This night battle dragged from the city gate to the border, and there were dead bodies along the way, which made it more difficult to clean up the battlefield in the later stage.
But everyone's face was beaming with joy.
Yuheng City Army won the first battle!
Two thousand bandits were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only about 600 people escaped, and more than 300 people fell to their knees on the spot and became prisoners.
He Lingchuan led his troops to pursue them to the border, and saw the enemy troops fleeing across the Yin River, discarding their helmets and armor along the way. He did not cross the border in pursuit, but only let his men turn over a fat wild boar demon.
When it was pushed closer, it was already frightened and crazy, foaming at the mouth, shaking its head and tail. But He Lingchuan just saw with his own eyes that it pushed a Yuheng soldier until his stomach was broken.
He Lingchuan ordered people to tie the smallest flower thunder under its belly, light a long fuse, and then drive the pig to the other side.
This pig can run faster than an ordinary horse.
Someone called it along the way, but it turned a deaf ear and just wanted to run away.
Not long after, people in the forest on the other side could be seen, and many people seemed to be running out. Then there was a boom, and thunder exploded.
The soldiers here are laughing.
After appreciating this scene, He Lingchuan ordered his troops to withdraw and return to the city.
On the way, the two armies led by Meng Shan and Liu Tiao also returned one after another, both triumphant.
Meng Shan asked He Lingchuan in a gruff voice: "Boss, how did you know they would attack in a big way?"
He and He Lingchuan were originally rivals, and they fought life and death for more than a dozen times. He watched with his own eyes as He Lingchuan turned from weak to strong, and his military rank was mentioned again and again. Others might be envious, jealous, and hateful, but Meng Shan did not have such emotions. On the contrary, I admired him to the point of admiration.
He can fight, kill, and has brains. He deserves to be promoted to the top.
"Since I arrived at Ren Yuheng City, they have not come to harass me. They just tried their best to make a big fuss." The halberd in He Lingchuan's hand drooped, and the last drop of blood slipped from the tip of the halberd. "They wanted to give me a blow."
Yuheng City has a new leader. After so many days, it is impossible for the other side not to know about it.
He Lingchuan is the new general of Panlong City. To the outside world, he is not as well-known as Commander Xiao, and the other party will inevitably despise him.
Meng Shan shouted angrily: "If such a small number of troops want to capture Yuheng City, they are looking down on us!"
"They never thought about capturing Yuheng City. They just wanted to bleed us, establish our power, teach us a lesson, and give me some eye drops." He Lingchuan knew what the situation was now, "In their plan
, maybe we can rob something in the east of the city, and when we organize an effective counterattack, they will roar away."
