"Hey, now I can only hope that Yan Gang will come back soon."
"Um,"
While the two were talking, Yan Gang was also running wildly. They didn't stop at all for three days and two nights. Three thousand horsemen and three thousand carriages were approaching at high speed.
The wait was long, and even at noon and in the evening, Gongsun Zan did not launch an attack.
"Sir, why don't they attack?"
Wang Chi looked at Gongsun Zan, who was motionless outside the city, and was speechless for a while.
"Haha, Wang Chi, sometimes I ask you to study more, but you don't study. Judging the situation is necessary for a general, you know, Zheng Feng told him."
Wang Chi was the chief of scouts under Wen Chou, and it was he who led the scouts of the Polu Army to burn Zhou Shanlin.
"Okay, sir."
Hearing Wen Chou mentioning himself, Zheng Feng could only smile slightly and began to explain.
"Chang Wang, you burned down the entire Zhou Mountain Forest two days ago. Have you forgotten this?"
After hearing Zheng Feng's words, Wang Chi couldn't help but nodded.
"The fire in Zhoushan Forest burned not only the forest, but also the source of all the siege equipment of Gongsun Zan's army.
At the same time, General Wen had swept away all the wood and other things that could be used within a thirty-mile radius when they arrived.
Without siege equipment, what would Gongsun Zan use to attack the city? Do you want to stack up the Arhats?"
When Zheng Feng explained this, Wang Chi felt his face was getting hot. He didn't even think of such common sense. No wonder Wen Chou was talking about him.
"Listen more, ask more, watch more, learn more, do you understand?"
Seeing that Wang Chi understood, Wen Chou couldn't help but give him a motto.
"My subordinate understands."
Wang Chi nodded again. He knew that Wen Chou was doing this for his own good, so he showed no sign of anger.
"Well, Gongsun Zan probably won't attack the city tonight. There are two thousand men in one shift, and they will take turns changing guard. The rest should have a good sleep."
After Wen Chou finished speaking, he got off the city wall.
After evening, Gongsun Zan and his infantry rushed back to the camp ten miles away that didn't look like a camp, and waited quietly for Yan Gang's return.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble"
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, Gongsun Zan smiled slightly, Yan Gang finally came back.
"Lord, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny."
Yan Gang jumped off his horse and stayed awake for three days and three nights. His eyes turned into two red lanterns, which made him look particularly scary.
"Haha, just come back. Hurry up and take a rest."
Looking at the most brave general under his command, Gongsun Zan felt extremely distressed.
"I'm not sleepy. I've brought all the food, grass and baggage, a total of three thousand carts, including wood, cooking stoves, military tents, etc."
"Okay, stop talking, go and rest immediately. This is a military order."
Seeing the excited Yan Gang, Gongsun Zan straightened his face.
Looking at the stern-faced Gongsun Zan, Yan Gang knew that he was angry and did not dare to speak. He took off the horse blanket from his horse and lay down on the spot.
After a while, there was a sound of snoring. It seemed that Yan Gang was really tired.
Not only Yan Gang, the cavalrymen who returned with him all looked the same, they all wrapped themselves in horse blankets and slept on the ground.
"The rest of the people should seize the time to unload the trucks. I will build the village tonight."
"promise."
Not caring about his cavalry, Gongsun Zan took matters into his own hands and started setting up camp with his men.
Overnight, the camp stood on the original site. Looking at the brand new camp, Gongsun Zan felt a sense of sadness in his heart for some reason.
Once upon a time, when had he fallen to this point?
The next day, they set up a stove to cook, gave their soldiers a good meal, and then set off their troops outside Nanpi City again.
"Today will be a tough battle, so brothers, get ready."
"Here."
Wen Chou looked at the ladders behind Gongsun Zan's army and the towers being assembled in the distance. He couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't understand where these things came from.
"The whole army attacks the city."
Gongsun Zan didn't bother to say anything nonsense, so he directly drew out his long sword and directed it towards Pi City.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom."
The war drums were beating, and a phalanx of 2,000 people carried ladders and began to charge towards Nanpi City.
"Yan Gang, it's still the same, cavalry and shooting support."
"promise."
After a night's rest, Yan Gang led 3,000 cavalry on horseback and raised their hooves, bows and arrows ready to shoot at the top of the city.
"Hey, do you really think my crossbow camp is just a decoration?"
Wen Chou's militiamen definitely have a unique advantage in defending the city. Yuan Shu's top-notch divine arm crossbows are all concentrated here. With a range of 350 steps and the bonus from high on the city wall, they will definitely become a lingering threat to the enemy.
Nightmare.
In addition to the divine arm crossbows, Wen Chou's crossbow battalion also expanded to 3,000 men and 2,500 of the most elite infantry crossbows, ensuring their terrifying lethality at mid-range.
"God's Arm Crossbow, get ready."
Commander Yue Quan of the Crossbow Battalion looked at the charging cavalry and silently calculated the distance in his heart.
One by one, the divine arm crossbows were pulled apart, and the long crossbow arrows were set on the crossbow strings.
"put."
"Buzz."
"Buzz."
"Buzz."
The super strong crossbow strings of the Divine Arm Crossbow, coupled with the special crossbow arrows, erupt with their unique wind-breaking sound.
"Avoid arrows."
Although they were still nearly 400 steps away from the city wall, Yan Gang still made the most correct judgment.
The distance of four hundred steps is unreachable for ordinary people, but it is not a problem for the God Arm Crossbow.
Although the cavalry had already reacted, the God-Arm Crossbow was too fast and too lethal. It could be said that it would cause injuries upon contact and death upon contact.
As soon as the cavalry reacted, before they could lean out or hide in their stirrups, they were shot through by lightning-fast crossbow arrows. Even after they reacted, their horses were nailed to the ground by the divine arm crossbow.
"Spread out and keep rushing."
With a wave of crossbows, more than a hundred riders fell to the ground and died, but they still had to do what they had to do. It was their task to suppress the city with bows and arrows.
"Cring up, God Arm Crossbow continues firing."
After several years of hard training, the rewinding speed of the Divine Arm Crossbow has doubled compared to before.
They fired three waves of crossbow arrows at a distance of 400 to 300 steps. More than 300 horsemen were already lying on the cold soil, leaving this world forever.
"Three hundred steps, crossbow ready."
Yue Feng commanded calmly, and the maximum range of the crossbow was more than 200 steps. With the additional distance of 250 steps from the city wall, it would definitely exert great power.
The Divine Arm Crossbow is still firing, but since Yan Gang has dispersed the cavalry, its lethality has been sharply reduced. Only fifty or sixty cavalry have been lost in one wave.
"Two hundred and fifty steps, three-stage crossbow strike."
The sound of the string vibrated, the crossbow arrows shot through the air like a swarm of locusts, and Yan Gang's cavalry was enveloped in it like a curtain of rain.
"accelerate."
After successfully suppressing the city head last time, Yan Gang already had experience, so he had his own idea for this siege, which was to change the speed.
Suppressing the speed of the cavalry and suddenly accelerating when the enemy attacks with long-range power will definitely allow them to avoid most of the attacks.
