"General Chen, there has been no movement from the other side for five days." said the soldier watching on the side.
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Qing Feng, an old thief, must be planning to use fire to attack. He has tried this trick repeatedly. Plus it is the end of spring, so he must be more confident. He is waiting.
A southerly wind."
"Ah?" The soldiers were stunned.
"Are the archers ready?" Chen Mo asked.
"Ready." The soldiers nodded.
"Let the archers prepare immediately." Chen Mo ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier nodded immediately.
Afterwards, thousands of archers immediately climbed up the mountain to let go of the castle. On the top of the mountain, Chen Mo had already ordered people to build a defense line of archers. In fact, the so-called defense line of archers was nothing more than a ravine.
The archers stood in the ravine that was half a man's height, commanding a high position and able to restrict the opponent's attack at any time.
These thousands of archers have been specially trained. Although they do not have the ability to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps, each of them has great arm strength and can draw a ten-stone bow. The effective range of arrows is more than 300 meters.
In other words, as long as they are within a range of three hundred meters, the other party will not dare to approach easily.
No matter what.
Archers are definitely the best weapon for long-range coverage. In addition, Shili Town occupies a natural barrier and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let alone 30,000 people, even if it is given 5,000 archers and 5,000 infantry, it is enough to defend.
Thousands of archers were in position within a short time.
At this time, a soldier shouted: "General Chen, there is something going on from the other side."
When Chen Mo heard this, he quickly stood on the lookout.
Sure enough, one sky lantern appeared in front of everyone, and dense sky lanterns rose into the sky from Qing Feng's tent. Under the influence of the southeast wind, these sky lanterns slowly moved towards the direction of Shili Town.
"Good guy." Chen Mo raised a weird smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "This bitch still dares to attack with fire? I repeat the same old tune, and today I will show you how powerful I am."
"General Chen, what should we do now?" the soldier asked.
"How far away is the other party from us?" Chen Mo asked.
"About five thousand meters," the soldier replied.
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Then wait for the opportunity."
"General Chen, the sky lanterns will fall on our camp soon." The soldiers were anxious.
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chen Mo shook his head.
Seeing the lanterns coming with the wind that day, one by one soared into the sky, probably more than two hundred meters in the air. Looking up, they were densely packed, like fireflies.
Chen Mo ordered: "Give me the order. Once the sky lantern enters the effective range, shoot immediately."
"Yes!" The soldier nodded.
As the sky lantern slowly floated over.
The general in charge of the archers shouted: "Shoot."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Arrows shot through the air one after another, making bursts of sharp sounds.
Then, the sky lanterns fell to the ground one after another. After falling, a huge flame burned immediately. Ten thousand sky lanterns and five thousand archers shot down 80% of these sky lanterns in minutes. The remaining
Some scattered sky lanterns floated in, but they didn't pose much of a threat at all.
In Zhao Guo's tent.
Qing Feng was so angry that his lungs exploded.
"Asshole, I didn't expect that they had already planned it." Qing Feng cursed loudly.
"General, the last general is incompetent, give me 20,000 soldiers, and I will be the vanguard and break open the gate of Shili Town." A young general shouted.
"Okay!" Qing Feng nodded and said: "Then I will give you 20,000 soldiers and you will be the vanguard. I don't believe that we can't break through the gate of Shili Town today!"
After all the sky lanterns fell to the ground, Qing Feng was already furious.
He waited patiently for five days, but he didn't expect that the other party would defeat his attack so easily. Thinking about it made him feel annoyed and angry. At this moment, he couldn't care less about the fact that Ten Mile Town was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
No matter how much it costs, we must find a way to break open the gate of Shili Town.
Qingfeng continued: "General Zhang."
"The general is here." General Zhang nodded.
"You lead your 10,000 archers and advance together with General Zhao." Qing Feng squinted his eyes and said, "General Zhao's 20,000 vanguards need the cover of archers."
"Yes!" General Zhang nodded.
Then, the offensive and defensive battle began.
The lookout in Shili Town.
Chen Mo looked at this scene coldly, and Qing Feng began to mobilize his troops, indicating that his behavior had completely angered him.
Now that he's angry, it's easy to handle.
"We are one step closer to victory." Chen Mo smiled slightly.
"Why do you say that?" the soldier on the side asked hurriedly.
"Just wait and see the good show." Chen Mo grinned.
General Zhao led 20,000 soldiers toward the front of Shili Town in a mighty manner. The soldiers held rattan shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands.
Behind him are 10,000 archers led by General Zhang. The role of these 10,000 archers is to cover General Zhao's 20,000 soldiers.
Once the infantry enters the effective shooting range of the enemy archers, the opponent will inevitably attack, and the losses will be heavy.
If there are ten thousand archers using bows and arrows to cover, they will definitely be able to suppress the opponent's archers.
As the opponent's infantry advanced, Chen Mo immediately ordered the archers to shoot.
After several rounds of shooting, 5,000 of the opponent's 10,000 archers entered the effective shooting range.
The archers on both sides fired round after round.
Arrows like locusts flying in the sky covered the ground.
Although the attackers suffered heavy losses, the defenders also suffered heavy losses. Moreover, once the opponent's infantry passed through the dangerous canyon in Shili Town, they would definitely launch a charge.
The city wall cannot stop the opponent's attack at all.
"General Chen, the enemy is coming through." the soldier shouted.
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Mo smiled disdainfully and said: "The current death ratio is ten to one. If one of us dies, ten of them will die. This kind of casualty cost is beneficial to us."
"Yes!" The soldier nodded.
The attacking side is naturally at a disadvantage.
However, this is also a last resort.
General Zhao was naturally anxious. After several rounds of attacks from the opponent, more than 3,000 of the 20,000 people were killed or wounded. If this continued, all of them would probably die before they reached Shili Town. Although there were archers behind to cover them, it would still be difficult.
Resist the opponent's long-range attacks.
The opponent not only has bows and arrows, but also trebuchets.
"All soldiers, charge with me." General Zhao shouted.
"Charge!" The soldiers rushed forward crazily.
After rushing through the canyon, the next thing we faced was the low city wall of Shili Town.
The remaining four thousand archers on the canyon quickly evacuated.
