Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Six: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his to
"Fire arrows..."
On the city tower, a general shouted an order, and in an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers ready with bows and arrows pointed at the sky and released their arrow strings.
The arrow pierced the resistance of the air with a 'whoosh' sound and shot into the sky, then drew a beautiful arc in the sky and fell towards the dark crowd of people on the ground.
Tens of thousands of arrows covered the sky and blocked out the sun, flying down from the sky in dense numbers, like a heavy rain.
The enemies walking at the front quickly raised their shields high to their heads. In their non-stop footsteps, it was like a wave of steel moving slowly.
‘Ding ding ding…’
The tip of the arrow could not pierce the thick shield, and was immediately bounced off when it landed on it. This wave of attacks could not cause any actual damage to them at all.
The enemy began to counterattack. Three hundred meters away, a row of neatly arranged trebuchets were already loaded with heavy stones. Each stone was estimated to weigh no less than a thousand kilograms.
Under the command of the commander, the boulders were thrown out by the trebuchet. They were extremely powerful. With the impact of free fall and their own weight, their power was terrifying.
Fortunately, Tongcheng withstood the test and these huge rocks did not cause much damage to the walls of Tongcheng.
But the buildings and facilities in Tongcheng were not so lucky, and many places were in ruins.
The smoke of the war had just begun. In order to prevent the enemy's siege equipment from approaching, the soldiers defending the city could only rely on fire attacks. The arrowheads of those arrows were all ignited. For a while, a 'meteor shower' began to fall from the sky again.
I thought this counterattack would be effective, but who would have expected that the well-prepared enemy would actually apply a layer of fire-proof grease on the surface of the siege equipment. Rockets were all over the surface of many siege equipment, but before the flames were extinguished,
None of them could set these big guys on fire.
"Liu Yunfei is getting old, but his tactics for defending the city are still the same." Jin Batt said with a contemptuous sneer.
"The marshal had the foresight to ask craftsmen to build so many siege equipment twenty years ago." The general on the side complimented.
"If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools..." Jinbat said, "Send the order, I will give you a heavy reward for whoever attacks Tongcheng first!"
"No." The general on the side quickly took the order and went down to pass the message.
The 80,000-person phalanx of the vanguard force has already approached Tongcheng with siege equipment. It is less than 100 meters away from Tongcheng. If these things were not too huge and heavy, it would not have taken so long to advance 200 meters.
rice.
"Project smoke bombs."
On the tower, Liu Yunfei calmly gave orders and was surrounded by more than a dozen messengers. As long as Liu Yunfei had a new order, the messengers would pass the order on as quickly as possible.
The enemy army, which had gone well, was getting carried away at this moment, because they knew that as long as they reached the foot of Tong City and relied on the huge siege equipment, even if Tong City had an iron wall, it would be useless.
'Dang, Dang, Dang...'
Round yellow objects that were much larger than fists hit the raised shields and then fell to the ground. The soldiers of Xin Ye Kingdom had never seen such things before and couldn't help but take a second look as they moved forward.
Some more curious soldiers picked them up and rubbed them carefully.
But the next second they regretted it. The round yellow thing was exactly the smoke bomb thrown by the soldiers on the tower.
'boom……'
A muffled sound exploded in the slowly advancing army. It was not very powerful, just like a fart.
After the first cigarette bomb went off, the thousands of other cigarette bombs that were thrown down also began to explode.
The sudden noise frightened the soldiers who picked up the cigarette bombs and quickly threw them away. Then they fired out of control. As soon as the cigarette bombs burst, they emitted thick yellow smoke. There were thousands of them, and the smoke bombs were instantly destroyed.
Eighty thousand people drowned in the 'yellow sea'.
I thought it was just some smoke, but the smoke was filled with a spicy smell. At first, the soldiers of Xin Ye Kingdom didn't take it seriously, but after a few seconds, the spicy smell became stronger and stronger, and the smell was pungent and pungent.
Tears were streaming from their noses and eyes, and some people almost choked to death by accidentally taking a few puffs of the thick smoke.
Thousands of yellow smoke bombs disrupted the enemy's position. The enemy troops could not bear the pungent smell and fled in a hurry, trying to break out of the "yellow ocean".
But when they discarded the shields held high above their heads, sharp arrows fell vertically from the sky and mercilessly pierced their bodies.
This time, water really entered the oil pan, and it exploded instantly.
The army, which was already in disarray, began to violently commotion, which became more and more violent.
In a panic, a big drama of people trampling on others was staged. The front troops turned around and fled for their lives, but the rear troops blocked their way. Under the random impact, the soldiers of the rear troops were pushed to the ground in pieces, and then
He was trampled under the feet of the rebel army.
Many soldiers did not die under the sword of the enemy, but were trampled to death by their comrades. This was really a cowardly death.
Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Daning's generals seized this great opportunity and once again dispatched 10,000 archers to the tower to support them. Under the volley of thousands of arrows, many enemies sadly turned into hedgehogs.
‘Whoosh, whoosh…’ The sound of breaking wind could not be heard without stopping. They discarded their shields and did not have the air shield that is only available to martial artists. These soldiers, whose cultivation was only in the warrior and warrior stages, could only grope for a way out in the smoke.
However, their speed was far unable to match the sound of the arrows claiming their lives, and scores of enemies fell on the way to escape.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, Jin Batt just looked at it coldly, and then said calmly, "Get ready for the second attack."
Perhaps to him, the sacrifices of these soldiers are just a series of dwindling numbers, and they are not worth taking to heart at all.
Eight phalanxes of ten thousand people were defeated, and the defenders on the towers cheered, and the military morale was greatly boosted for a while.
When the smoke dissipated, corpses were everywhere outside Tongcheng. Many enemies who were injured and unable to move fell to the ground, covering their wounds and wailing. The cries came one after another, making those who heard it shudder.
Those behemoths stayed in place quietly without the help of manpower. For Tongcheng, the most threatening thing was this kind of city nemesis. If these behemoths got close to the city wall, Tongcheng would have no advantage at all.
'Woo...'
A horn sound came from the Xinye Kingdom's army, followed by the thunder of war drums. The second wave of attacks was about to begin, and a phalanx of tens of thousands of people surged towards Tongcheng again.
The soldiers on the tower were not happy for long before they were brought back to reality again. With the successful experience this time, under the command of the generals, more smoke bombs were transported to the tower, always preparing for the second time.
