Three strange feather arrows were shot from the barracks of the Northern Wei army in the south. When they flew into the sky, they seemed to be no different from ordinary feather arrows. However, when they reached a high place, they exploded with a loud bang and spewed out countless scarlet red arrows.
of flame.
On the water surface outside the north wall, a Northern Wei general wearing a round hat raised his head and looked at the beautiful flames spreading in the sky. The corner of his right eye twitched slightly unconsciously.
Reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty arrived on the opposite land, and among them were practitioners of the spiritual realm.
This is naturally an ominous omen for him.
But now that it has been launched, what he needs to do now is to continuously fill up all the Northern Wei sergeants here. Even if he cannot directly make a gap in the north wall facing the water, at least it will make it impossible for the Southern Dynasty troops in the city to destroy it.
The floating bridge leads to Zhongli City from the Huai River on the north side.
The battles he has experienced in the past have allowed him to coldly execute the military orders from above and pile up these living lives as dead objects like wood and rocks. But as before, he can be indifferent and numb in his heart and indifferent on the surface.
But the flesh and blood in the corner of his right eye still twitched and beat unconsciously.
He remained silent and no new military orders were issued.
More sounds of water sounded on the dark river.
Some larger ships appeared with the sound of water.
The speed of these ships is very slow, and the control of the ships by the sergeants on the ships can be described as extremely poor, and they cannot even make these ships move in a straight line on the water.
There was no powerful naval force in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty, and it can be said that the subordinates of Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan had no naval force at all before.
The generals of the Southern Dynasty on the north wall looked at these ships coming crookedly on the water, but no one felt funny.
They thoroughly understood each other's strategic intentions.
Without powerful naval forces, they would not use naval forces to fight against the Southern Dynasty's naval forces. They would turn all waterways into land routes.
Most of these ships should be civilian ships and merchant ships collected along the way. When they come here, their use is no different from ordinary driftwood. However, with the addition of these ships, the Northern Wei army will be able to lead to the northern wall.
More convenient.
This Wei army indeed has amazing abilities in building roads and bridges. Slowly approaching ships, floating giant trees, ordinary door panels, even some sheepskin rafts, bamboo rafts, and various floating debris were all destroyed.
These people were pulling and tying them together, and there was a constant sound of huge splashes. Thick ropes and heavy objects were piled on the ships, which were constantly smashed into the water like heavy anchors, fixing these floating objects on the water.
Even some carriages and horses began to appear, dragging large amounts of reeds, hay and other materials to fill the pile.
As the road on the water became larger and larger, the Wei army, which seemed to be running out of arrows, even gave up shooting at the city wall. Instead of fighting back, they just paved the road on the water more completely.
From time to time, sergeants from the Northern Wei Dynasty were hit by arrows and heavy objects and fell to the ground screaming, but their positions were quickly filled by the sergeants from the Northern Wei Dynasty who followed them.
Those corpses that fell into the water and could not be picked up in time quickly disappeared under the bloody water, as if they had never appeared.
The movements of the Southern Dynasty archers who were constantly shooting at the edge of the city wall became slower and slower. As more Northern Wei soldiers advanced towards the city wall from the island in the center of the river, they saw more and more targets for shooting, but facing them
It is easier to feel tired and powerless against an opponent who doesn't fight back at all and just lets him kill.
"If possible, let them all rest for a while."
A voice sounded behind Chaozong, "It should take no more than half an hour. This Wei army will attack the city with all its strength."
This is an extremely unfamiliar voice, but it is extremely calm in such a battle formation, and even has an unquestionable flavor.
Wang Chaozong turned around and saw the figures of Li Wenzhao, Qi Zhuji and others.
On the way to the North Wall, Qi Zhuji had already heard Li Wenzhao talk about the "rebellion" that had occurred in the city before he, Xiao Suxin and others arrived.
He looked at Wang Chaozong, who was only a few years older than him and Lin Yi, and his young and iron-blooded face, and he suddenly felt great respect in his heart.
Without any extra greetings, Li Wenzhao quickly said a few words to Chaozong, and Chaozong, Qi Zhuji and others greeted him calmly.
"Why do you think they will launch a strong attack soon? Especially when the enemies in the south have retreated." Wang Chaozong asked without any extra words, looking directly at Qi Zhuji.
"Because they are preparing to climb the ladder on the wall."
Qi Zhuji pointed to the island not far away and said simply and simply: "I don't understand their intentions, but if they weren't about to launch a strong attack, they wouldn't allocate so many people to prepare the ladder at this time.
"
Following the direction pointed by Qi Zhuji, Wang Chaozong's eyes flashed, and then he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
There were indeed a lot of enemy troops rushing around the parts of some ladders, and they looked very anxious. However, when the young general of the Tiece Army arrived here, he discovered what he had overlooked at a glance, which showed that the opponent was not only absolutely
Calm and extremely thoughtful.
"It's useless to think too much."
Qi Zhuji easily saw through the thoughts of the generals beside Chaozong. He smiled self-deprecatingly, "It is impossible for most of Yuanying's troops to arrive soon, so those who came from the north bank should not be his majority, but
If the 7,000 Wei troops can only be regarded as vanguard troops, the Wei troops coming from the north bank are at least in the tens of thousands. And since the other side has decided to attack by force at this time, the Wei troops coming from the north bank will most likely arrive tomorrow. Just don’t care.
Whose army is coming from the north bank? If we cannot survive tonight, there is no need to be afraid."
Wang Chaozong also laughed at himself.
The reason why he dared to launch such a "rebellion" and directly execute the generals above him in the city was because he felt that there was not much future to think about.
He nodded and stretched out his palm to make a military order.
All the archers stopped shooting.
Soon after the sound of arrows disappeared, a desolate song sounded from the water.
The singing became louder and louder, and all the Wei people on Hemian Island were singing loudly.
During the singing, many people began to shout loudly.
The neat shouts are like the chants during farming, full of enthusiasm, one after another.
Qi Zhuji took a deep breath.
His expression did not change, but the hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.
He is very nervous.
A snort.
An arrow was shot out of the water. It was just an arrow that shot up into the sky.
Chaotic but thunderous footsteps sounded.
In the darkness, many Northern Wei soldiers wearing soft armor and holding swords and shields swarmed up the unstable pontoon like ants and rushed towards the city wall.
In the center of them, many prepared ladders were directly carried by some strong soldiers. With the shouts of peace, they kept shaking, but they approached the city wall very quickly.
"put!"
Almost at the same time, shrill shouts of orders rang out from both sides.
There was a buzzing sound, and the sound of countless bowstrings sounded simultaneously on the city and on the water, followed by two extremely heart-stopping howling sounds that crisscrossed through the air.
In the night, two arrows converged in the sky, crossed, separated, and fell.
Puff puff puff…
A group of people fell instantly on the pontoon.
On the north wall, one of every few Southern Dynasty soldiers fell down.
Angry roars echoed on the walls and on the water at the same time.
The archers of the Northern Wei Dynasty shot the few arrows over the north wall as quickly as possible, and then began to charge together with the infantry holding swords and shields.
Ladders rose from the swaying pontoon to the city wall.
Behind these ladders, some Northern Wei sergeants carrying long bamboos braved the rain of arrows falling from the city wall and bravely leaned the long bamboos against the city wall.
Those Northern Wei soldiers who started to climb were as swaying and fragile as bottles hanging on ropes. However, life seemed to be the least valuable thing at this time. With the continuous sounds of flesh and blood smashing to the ground and falling into the water, only in more than ten seconds
In the blink of an eye, a Northern Wei sergeant climbed up with arrows and slashes.
Qi Zhuji always stood motionless at the forefront of the city wall.
A Northern Wei sergeant appeared in front of him. He pressed his hands on the edge of the city wall. Then he jumped up and drew his sword with his backhand. The light of the sword fell towards him.
Qi Zhuji narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step forward, and kicked the Northern Wei sergeant away with a heavy kick.
