Cong Ming led an army of 10,000 people and left Heilu City from the north gate. After marching less than twenty miles, he met Tunu's army.
Since the beginning of the war between the two armies, including the horrific first confrontation, this is the second time that the Qiancheng Army has taken the initiative to face the enemy.
Tunu's vanguard general Kagula also led more than 10,000 people and more than 10,000 well-equipped cavalry.
Seeing the military formation of Qiancheng Kingdom, he did not let the cavalry charge immediately, but came to the front of the formation alone.
"General of Yelang Kingdom, are you willing to come out for a fight? We won't bring troops and horses, and we will fight alone. If you can defeat me, I will do whatever you want, and the soldiers behind me will also do what you want."
As he spoke, he rode his war horse and slowly approached the center of the two armies.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cong Ming.
The opponent's general wants to win the battle alone, should you respond?
It shouldn't be a sign of cowardice.
If yes, Kagula is a third-level cultivator of Xiong Shinto. If he fights alone, Cong Ming will obviously suffer.
Cong Ming was very smart. He tilted his ears towards Kagula, indicating that he didn't hear clearly what Kagula was saying.
It's normal that he didn't hear clearly. The distance between the two armies was very far, more than 500 steps by visual inspection, and Kagula, who was riding forward alone, was still more than 300 steps away from Cong Ming's military formation.
"What did he say just now?" Cong Ming pretended to be confused.
The soldiers were silent.
You can't hear clearly, can't you see clearly? Someone is riding towards you on a horse!
Cong Ming then pretended to be confused: "What is he going to do here alone?"
Liang Xianchun, the deputy general standing by, was speechless.
"General Cong, you really don't know what he is going to do? Don't you understand the rules on the battlefield?"
Cong Ming looked confused: "I really don't understand."
Liang Xianchun had nothing to say.
Ever since the poem on Fat Tao Danzi was discovered, Liang Xianchun could not lift his head in front of Liang Yuyao.
If she was as thick-skinned as a Tunu person, let alone Liang Yuyao who saw those two poems, even if Liang Jixiong saw them, she would not blush.
Seeing that Cong Ming still didn't respond, Kagula waved his hand behind him.
The Tunu soldiers began to beat the drums and blow the trumpets, and the sergeants shouted loudly along with the sound of the drums and trumpets.
This is a typical fight.
Liang Xianchun looked at Cong Ming and asked, "You still don't understand why?"
Cong Ming looked surprised and said, "Listen, their drums are really loud!"
Liang Xianchun shook his head repeatedly, and Cong Ming continued to pretend to be confused.
With the sound of drums and horns, Kagula was less than a hundred steps away from Cong Ming's military formation.
He was still walking forward slowly.
Liang Xianchun said to Cong Ming: "You still can't understand this? He is almost in front of you!"
Cong Ming's expression was still blank, but his voice changed: "General Liang, be ready!"
Liang Xianchun said in astonishment: "What preparations should I make?"
This shameless Cong Ming doesn't want me to challenge him, right?
Cong Ming lowered his voice to an extremely low level, so low that it was almost inaudible: "The traitor has no rest."
Liang Xianchun was startled: "Why?"
"Don't ask any questions, wait for my order." Cong Ming glanced at Liang Xianchun, and a fierce aura came over him, making Liang Xianchun tremble.
Kagula was still approaching, less than 70 steps away from the military formation. The front row sergeants of Qiancheng Kingdom had already fired their bows, but Kagula showed no fear.
"Are the generals of Yelang Kingdom scared out of their wits? But they dare not come out to fight?"
With fifty steps left, Kagula suddenly stopped his horse's hooves.
Cong Ming ordered: "Do it!"
Liang Xianchun quickly launched the traitorous trick on Kagula.
At the same time, Kagula opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He breathed in for a long time, but nothing came in.
Cong Ming was pretending to be confused, but Liang Xianchun was really confused.
She and the other sergeants thought that Kagula was here to fight alone.
But in fact, the reason why Kagula came so close was to display his fifth-level skills, which would shock the world.
The sound shocks the world, and the roar of the bear is used to severely damage the enemy. This technique has a wide range of damage. In the Bear Shinto, it is a method suitable for group battles.
But the only problem with the technique is that it attacks indiscriminately and can easily hurt one's own people.
Kagula is now only fifty steps away from the Qiancheng Army Formation and more than 400 steps away from the Tunu Army Formation. Because the distance gap is too large, the impact on the Tunu Army is very limited.
Kagula also asked Sergeant Tunu to beat drums, blow trumpets, and shout loudly to offset the harm caused by the sound that shook the world.
In this case, if Kagula shouted to the Qiancheng Army, hundreds of people in the Qiancheng Army would die on the spot, and thousands more would be injured.
The Tunu army behind them would at most feel a little ringing in their ears.
After hearing the roar, the Tunu cavalry will charge immediately. The Qiancheng army that has just suffered heavy losses will be unable to fight back. In the chaos, Tunu will kill them all.
Kagula underestimated the Qiancheng people too much. His tactics were very sophisticated, but they also entailed great risks.
Now the risk was coming. While Kagula was suffocating, Cong Ming suddenly rushed forward and showed a ferocious look towards Kagula.
Ninth level skill, fierce appearance.
Cong Ming had just been transferred to the battlefield. Kagula had never met Cong Ming. He didn't know Cong Ming's cultivation level or even his Taoism.
An inexplicable fear suddenly hit him. Kagula shuddered, raised the battle ax in his hand, and prepared to fight Cong Ming.
Cong Ming did not fight with him, and the two horses crossed each other. Cong Ming dodged the battle ax, then turned around and retreated to the military formation.
Kagula was puzzled. The traitorous skill had dissipated. Kagula could breathe. He took a breath and wanted to roar. His body trembled, but he could not make a sound.
At the moment when the technique is performed, it seems that the energy suddenly dissipates.
Why did it fall apart?
I always feel as if someone has hit me, from the inside out.
Kagula realized that something was wrong, and he was terrified.
All the techniques of Yongzhao's fierce way are complementary to each other. He is afraid because of the fierce appearance, and his fear gives an opportunity for Horror to take advantage of.
Moreover, he was not only struck by Horror, but when the two horses crossed each other, he was also struck by Hatred.
The Qiancheng soldiers instantly developed a strong hatred for Kagoula, and thousands of arrows were shot at Kagoula.
Even Liang Xianchun couldn't restrain his anger and shot out the artificial gold scales and teardrops on his body.
Logically speaking, these attacks do not pose a threat to Kagula. He dares to come to the enemy's formation because he has the bronze skin and iron bones skills of Xiong Shen Dao.
After using his technique, he easily blocked dozens of arrows.
However, affected by the horror, Kagula's consciousness suddenly relaxed, his copper skin and iron bone technique was interrupted, and Liang Xianchun's "golden scales" and "teardrops" penetrated his armor and entered his flesh.
It really hurts now!
Kagula did not dare to hesitate at all, turned his horse's head and retreated immediately.
Cong Ming led his army to pursue him immediately.
Tunu's army didn't know whether to advance or retreat. Seeing Kagula's gesture, he told them to stay where they were and face the enemy.
Tunu's army was well-organized, and they would not suffer any loss if they stayed where they were to meet the enemy.
Suddenly, I heard Cong Ming leading several fierce cultivators laughing loudly. The shrill laughter made people's hair stand on end.
There was obvious chaos in the Tunu army formation, and some soldiers even fled.
Kagula was furious and shouted to the sergeant not to panic.
Angry?
That means you are wrong.
Cong Ming felt the anger, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.
A raging flame ignited in Kagula's chest.
The third level of fierce technique - attacking the heart.
Sense the enemy's anger and use the enemy's anger to burn the enemy.
Kagula screamed and ran away.
The general fled, and all military orders were meaningless. The Tunu cavalry turned their horses and retreated quickly.
With 10,000 cavalry, it would take time to turn around. Cong Ming took this opportunity and led an army of thousands of people to draw their crossbows and shoot with all their strength.
After several rounds of arrows, Tunu withdrew, leaving behind more than two hundred war horses.
Thousands of people fought, and after a few rounds of arrows, more than 200 enemy troops were killed.
It sounds a bit funny, but Qiancheng people tried their best.
First of all, their archery skills are not good, but they can string an arrow and draw the bow. They are already considered excellent archers among the Qiancheng Army.
Secondly, their crossbows are not very good. They are made of inferior materials and rough in workmanship. They can be easily broken if they are fired too frequently.
Third, there are not many bows and arrows. There are only more than a thousand soldiers with bows. Each person can carry up to three feather arrows. Once they are shot, they will be gone.
"Killed two hundred enemies, that's a lot!" Cong Ming was very satisfied.
Liang Xianchun saw that the enemy's back was still there, and hurriedly said to Cong Ming: "Chase, we will come if we don't chase!"
Cong Ming looked at the enemy's back and said, "That's the cavalry. Why are they chasing them?"
"Don't you also have a cavalry army?"
Cong Ming pointed to the cavalry under his command: "There are more than 500 cavalry in total. You let them chase 10,000 cavalry? Do you think they die too slowly?"
"Then let them go like this?"
"Just leave!" Cong Ming was well aware of the disparity in combat power between the two sides. If Tunu counterattacked, Qiancheng would be unable to resist, so retreat if you can take advantage. This is the essence of harassment.
Cong Ming and Yu Shan took turns going out of the city to harass, blocking Tu Nu's steps and buying Niu Yuxian five full days.
Five days later, Tunu attacked the city, and Niu Yuxian stood at the top of the city with 20,000 coolie sergeants.
Now they are no longer coolies, now they are city soldiers trained by Niu Yuxian.
Twenty catapults (catapults) were placed on the city wall, with projectiles fully loaded and ready to go.
Tunu also has a catapult, which is huge in size, extremely expensive to build, and extremely powerful. Tunu calls it the Bear God Hammer.
If it were the former Black Deer City, if fifteen Bear Hammers hit it in one round, the city wall would be cracked. If it took two rounds, the city wall might collapse!
Today's Black Deer City has been repaired, but I don't know how many times it can survive.
Niu Yuxian concentrated on watching the Tunu people arrange the fifteen Bear God Hammers.
Zhang Shifeng said from the sidelines: "Let's take action first and hit him before he has a stable footing."
Niu Yuxian shook his head and said: "There's no rush, let them take action first."
Zhang Shifeng asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Their wheels weren't locked."
Niu Yuxian had participated in the Northern Expedition and fought against Tu Nu. He knew Tu Nu's habit of using catapults.
When they fired the first stone, the wheels were not locked.
Without locking the wheels, the catapult is not stable enough and its striking accuracy is not enough. The reason for this is because the first stone throw is used to measure the distance.
Tu Nu's catapult is too big, and the locking mechanism on the wheels is also very complicated. Once locked, it will take at least half an hour to open.
Tunu's usual tactic is to throw the first stone without locking the wheels, and after calculating the distance accurately, throw the second stone and then lock the wheels.
Niu Yuxian decided to take down the first stone thrown.
Zhang Shifeng shook his head and said: "Young men, don't dare to be too big. Just by looking at the size, you can tell that their catapult is ferocious!"
Qin Xulan said from the side: "Don't worry, the city wall can bear it."
Zhang Shifeng said again: "Little pump girl, what should I do if I can't bear it? What if I hit the top of the city?"
Qin Xulan smiled and said nothing.
Niu Yuxian shook his head and said: "They can't hit the top of the city. If they can hit three or five shots on the wall, it's considered lucky."
Zhang Shifeng looked anxious, turned to Bao Huailuo and said, "Please tell me something, this war is not a joke."
Bao Huailuo smiled and said: "I can trust these two young people, so just watch them calmly."
Bang! Bang! Boom!
There was a continuous roar, and Tu Nu came over with the first round of stones.
As Niu Yuxian expected, fifteen catapults were launched at the same time, and in the end only two catapults hit the city wall.
Their catapults were placed too far away.
The city head trembled, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and some scars were left on the city wall, but they were not serious.
Niu Yuxian looked at Qin Xulan and nodded slightly to show his approval.
Qin Xulan smiled proudly and waited for Niu Yuxian to use his methods.
Through this blow, Tu Nu at the bottom of the city had already judged the appropriate distance, pushed the catapult forward thirty steps, and locked the wheels.
Thirty thousand infantry marched thirty steps with the catapult. When the catapult broke through the city wall, they would immediately launch a charge.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a chance.
Niu Yuxian looked back at the messenger and said, "It's our turn!"
