Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 82
"The Great Talisman of Heaven and Earth is definitely around the Shibali Fort and the Liangjie River. As for why it is not turned on, I can't really figure out why."
"The results of the divination are the same every time, except for a little chance, but no one knows what the chance is."
The shaman shook his head helplessly. Everything was not going well these days. The grassland royal court, which was originally prosperous, had been visibly fading after the sacred objects were robbed and the talismans were taken away.
If the Great Talisman of Heaven and Earth is robbed again, then Wang Ting should return to the depths of the grassland as soon as possible. The country's fortune will not be there, and forcing it will only make the result worse.
Sirius frowned, and finally nodded helplessly, hoping that the Great Talisman of Heaven and Earth would appear. If he brought out the Kuldun Guard and the Husang Guard without telling Shanyu this time, the prospect would be absolutely worrying if he failed to do so.
"By the way, where is the origin of that Bianbia Tianyan who goes around killing people?"
"In just a few days, the situation in the pass was turned into a mess. That guy is really not simple!"
The shaman took out a particularly bloodshot bone, beat it to pieces with a hammer, looked at the fragments and said:
"Sirius, judging from the hexagrams, you have met him recently. This guy is an extraterrestrial demon. No wonder he acts so ruthlessly!"
"It turned out to be that guy."
Sirius nodded:
"If I had known that day, I should have killed him to avoid causing all these troubles."
"There may not be a chance. People who are lucky, no matter what kind of luck they are, are not so easy to kill."
The shaman shook his head and Sirius sighed. People like them who believe in the desire for happiness believe in destiny.
Border Town, White Tiger Festival Hall.
Chai Tiannuo and Zhong Xingxin stood beside the sand table and kept deducing:
"Sir, since the two husbands are determined to attack Suolong Pass, then the Manzi Fort must be captured. If the narrow pass near the hill is blocked and cut off, the northwest will be really doomed."
Zhong Xingxin nodded, then frowned:
"Although the fort is small, it has gathered nearly 20,000 people, and the defenders of Suolong Pass can increase their numbers at any time. This battle is really difficult to fight."
"It's hard to fight but you have to fight."
Chai Tiannuo pointed at a large area between Manzi Fort and Suolong Pass with a wooden stick:
"Nearly 200,000 steppe Tatars are stationed here. If Xiao Qing and the others cannot capture Barbarian Fort in advance, they will not be able to quickly clear it when the army attacks."
"Then the war equipment of Suolongshuan will be put to use, and the casualties will definitely be huge!"
Zhong Xingxin looked around the sand table for a long time, and finally nodded. Indeed, this Barbarian Fort is vital and must be captured!
However, how to fight is a difficult problem.
The next day, Chai Tiannuo followed the soldiers of the Eight Prefectures of the Border City Guards and stationed two miles away while the Liquan Guards attacked Manzi Fort.
General Li Quanwei used the troops of Shifu to attack the city for the first time, hoping to overthrow the Manzi Fort with just a few people.
Unexpectedly, the defensive capabilities of Manzi Fort, which had been urgently repaired, were beyond expectations. The number of casualties exceeded 8,000 throughout the morning, but the tiny place still stood firm.
Not to mention overturning the Manzi Fort, even the top of the city was never climbed once.
The morale of the soldiers of the Royal Court, which was originally low, suddenly became high. However, the Li Quan Guard, who was originally high in morale, had their muscles and bones completely broken and retreated in a hurry. Their morale was extremely low.
When Zehuwei saw hundreds of carts pulling back corpses and wounded people, he numbed his claws. The Xianggong Mansion specially ordered him to send troops to fight, but General Zehuwei directly refused.
They have been in the rear area and have not fought for a long time, so they have long lost their bloody spirit.
At the end of the day, the siege was handed over to the border guards.
"Tiannuo, you have never participated in a siege, so be careful!"
After seeing Chai Tiannuo, who was wearing Mingguang armor and was invited to join the siege, Zhong Xingxin warned him for a long time.
"General, don't worry. The Liquan Guards actually fought very well before, but they lacked one hundred enemies who could break the enemy's formation, so they were trapped under the city wall and unable to reach the top."
"I will tear it out and win the battle!"
The military flag was displayed, the war drums were beating, and the soldiers of the three mansions were ready to attack the city. The special envoy of the Xianggong Mansion frowned:
"General Zhong, since ancient times, the siege force can only be attacked by multiples of the siege force. You only have half of the opponent's force. What's the reason?"
"The fighting area is too small, and there are too many people to use it."
Zhong Xingxin rubbed the handle of the knife and said in a calm voice:
"As long as Chaitino leads the team to tear open the defensive holes in the city wall, open the city gate, and let the army pour in, the attack will be effective!"
"Listen to the command, raise your shield, and go!"
Chaitino shouted loudly, and the flag bearer behind him waved the flag and moved forward steadily.
"Here comes the arrow!"
The moon-watching rhinoceros raised up, and the bodyguard presented an extended armor-breaking awl.
One hundred and fifty feet long, Chai Tiannuo fired his bow for a hundred and fifty feet without injuring anyone. The long armor-piercing awl sunk deep into the rammed earth wall, forming more than a dozen arrow ladders that were easy to climb.
“Duh duh duh~”
Arrows fell like rain, and the heavy arrows with carved feathers kept shooting down, accurately knocking down the prairie soldiers who were holding forks and trying to pull out arrows.
During tea time, Chai Tiannuo fired another hundred and fifty arrows, killing almost two hundred people!
"Da Lang is mighty, Da Lang is mighty!"
The team advanced at a slow pace, with roars that shook the sky. Chai Tiannuo suppressed the city with his own strength. Six eight-ox crossbows were shot down by him early in the morning. He almost killed all the 200 longbowmen!
"Ahem, this is the Condor Shooter, it's really shocking!"
The special envoy sighed, and Zhong Xingxin nodded. The reason why the Condor Shooters are famous all over the world is because of their terrifying long-range strike and suppression power. One person can defeat a whole house, which is not a boast.
"put!"
Sixty feet away from the fort, a thousand crossbowmen fired, followed by a thousand more. The three-stage shooting method was firmly connected with almost no flaws. The soldiers of the royal court who were pressed on the city wall with their bows ready to shoot could not raise their heads, and there were constant attacks.
The person hit fell to the ground.
After another twenty feet, the three thousand crossbowmen stopped, still maintaining suppression. Chai Tiannuo lowered his bow, took down Minghong, and shouted:
"Siege the city!"
"Kill~~!"
Three thousand people picked up swords and shields and followed Chai Tiannuo towards the four-foot-high rammed earth wall of Manzi Fort. The remaining three thousand people held fast bows and fired slowly, suppressing all the outcropping soldiers.
Chaitino was as fast as a galloping horse. He was still four or five feet away from the city wall, so he jumped up!
"Hey, Chai Dalang is already a great master?!"
The special envoy was shocked. Looking at the big bird-like Chaitino, he subconsciously pulled off a strand of his long beard.
"It's not far off if you don't win."
Zhong Xingxin nodded. Although Chai Tiannuo said that he was still close, but with this posture, he was definitely a grand master.
While the person was still in the air, Chaitino punched him down:
"Shake the Five Mountains!"
With a loud bang, the originally dense crowd at the top of the city was immediately swept away into a large area. Even the rammed earth arrow stacks collapsed by two to three feet. The walking bluestones on the city wall were even picked up by the air current, and the grassland soldiers who were beaten were wailing.
"Shake the five mountains, shake the five mountains!"
Without any regard for his internal strength, Chaitino raised his hand and struck two more big moves. A large area at the top of the city was instantly vacated, with broken corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere.
"kill!"
The figure flashed rapidly, and wherever Ming Hong swept with a faint red light, there were bloody debris!
"Da Lang is mighty, Da Lang is mighty!"
The roar of cheers was loud. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the guards of the border city mounted their swords and shields on the top of the city, occupying more and more territory.
