Looking sideways, Yue pursed her lips and looked at her brother's angry face, but finally did not speak.
Along the way, he had also gotten some information, and he had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it appeared, but Yue also knew that Luge would not listen to him, and it would be counterproductive for him to speak at this time.
Or, as his father said, it would be good for him to adapt to some hardships. Seeing Lu Ge excitedly starting to plan a night attack on the city with his generals, Yue excused himself and got up and left the meeting room.
At night, the wind finally subsided.
Before the soldiers on the wall of Wangguan City could wipe the sand off their faces, some sharp-eyed people shouted loudly, "Oh no, the enemy is attacking the city!"
Everyone looked carefully and saw a dark shadow moving vaguely in the night.
Then, the sound of sharp objects breaking through the air was heard in mid-air.
Countless hidden arrows, as dense as locusts, flew towards the city wall without mercy.
The gloomy and windy weather provided the best cover for Luger's soldiers. As prairie people with strong physiques, they were already accustomed to such wind. Compared with the darkness around them, the torches on the city wall would
All the city defenders became living targets.
No one was prepared. The lieutenant in charge of the night drew his sword and waved it to block the continuous rain of arrows. He was still shouting, "Put up your shield, put up your shield!"
After a brief panic, the soldiers finally came to their senses and raised their shields to their heads, forming a tight layer of protection. The arrows hit the shields, making a heart-stopping sound, and occasionally some
The arrow fell from the gap between the shields, followed by the groans of the stabbed soldiers.
The rain of arrows finally passed. Taking advantage of this gap, Luger's 10,000 vanguard soldiers had also rushed to the bottom of the city wall carrying the temporary siege ladder.
"Archers, prepare, roll rocks and logs, prepare!" Noticing that there were no horses on horseback and quickly approaching the enemy, the deputy general quickly gave the order to fight back.
"Archers, prepare, roll rocks and logs, prepare!"
…
In this era, there were no loudspeakers or advanced communication equipment, so orders could only be transmitted by the roar of soldiers one after another.
Soon, the city defenders also began to shoot arrows in turn. The arrows were shot one after another, but the casualties were not many.
Firstly, it was difficult to distinguish the opponent's figure in the dark, and secondly, because of the leather armor worn by the opponent's cavalry. There was a lack of minerals on the grassland. Only generals were qualified to wear metal armor. Most soldiers only wore leather and sheepskin skins.
Armor, these oil-soaked leather armors are light to wear and do not affect speed, but they are tough and slippery. Unless an archer with extraordinary arm strength, it is basically difficult to shoot through them.
Even if they barely managed to hit the target, they would only hurt the opponent's arms or legs at most. However, these prairie wolves were very tough. With arrows stuck in their arms, they still moved like flying, carrying long ladders and rushing towards the city wall like madmen.
Finally, the first long ladder went up the city wall, then the second and third...
"Light the logs and throw the rocks!"
The lieutenant shouted an order while swinging his sword towards the nearby long ladder and slashing at it with all his strength.
Stones were thrown down, lit logs were thrown down, and the soldiers worked hard to chop down the opponent's long ladder with their own weapons, or to lift it with their hands. In short, they tried their best not to give the opponent a chance to climb the city wall.
