The dawn light shone into the window sill, and Zhou Xingyun was like an annoying fly, constantly making buzzing noises in Sleeping Beauty's ears.
No. It wasn't just the annoying sound, Zhou Xingyun also poked Han Qiumiao's face with his hand, causing the beauty to frown and had to wave away the annoying 'fly'.
As a result, early in the morning, the two were incompatible with each other and had a finger-tip battle...
Zhou Xingyun’s intention to disturb people’s dreams can only be described as abominable.
Last night, Han Qiumiao conducted a deep introspection. She knew that she had many things to do, and she had discussed and decided with Han Feng in private. She did not say hello to Zhou Xingyun. It was her fault...
Therefore, Han Qiumiao took the initiative to apologize to Zhou Xingyun, saying that she would take more care of Zhou Xingyun's feelings in the future, talk to him about everything, and would never make decisions for him without authorization.
In order to convey her determination, Han Qiumiao made a big concession. This concession was...
"Xunxuan..." Han Qiumiao said vaguely, hoping that Xunxuan, who was sleeping on the other side, could help her deal with Zhou Xingyun.
Han Qiumiao, like Zhou Xingyun, is a sleepy person. Unless she has something to deal with, she will basically sleep until midnight.
"I'll help you comb it first." Xun Xuan stood up from the bed, leaned on Zhou Xingyun's shoulder, hugged him affectionately with her hands, and smelled the reassuring and familiar smell.
Xunxuan, like Wei Suyao, gets up very early every day and does morning exercises very diligently.
"Yes." Zhou Xingyun followed the beauty's words and got out of bed to get dressed. Han Qiumiao, like a traveling businessman who finally got rid of his big baggage, took a deep breath, turned his back and continued to sleep.
However, before Han Qiumiao fell into a sweet dream, Wei Suyao barged in with terrible news...
"The battle report came from the closed door, Huang Fengguo has begun to attack!"
A simple sentence swept away everyone's sleepiness.
Under the city wall of 'Xuanmen', thousands of soldiers from Huang Feng Kingdom huddled together with their shields held high, and launched an offensive against the city gate.
This is a very incredible phenomenon...
Huang Feng's advance troops only had ten thousand people. With their strength, it was impossible to capture Xuanwu Pass.
In this case, the opponent's reason for attacking the city gate is to put pressure on the Central Plains soldiers stationed at the checkpoint and cause them a psychological burden.
However, there are many ways to apply pressure, and direct attack can be said to be the stupidest behavior.
Although the advance troops of the Huang Feng Kingdom carried large shields and could block ordinary arrows, there were powerful crossbows on the walls of Xuanmen that could penetrate the shield array of Huang Feng Kingdom soldiers.
Once the crossbows shot through their shields and disrupted their formation, the Huang Feng soldiers under the city gate would be like live targets and shot into baskets by the archers on the tower.
Now the soldiers of Huang Feng Kingdom dare to act so randomly because there is a very sharp shooter in their army.
Once the Central Plains soldiers stationed on the city wall tried to control the crossbow, their heads would be pierced by his arrows.
Even holding a shield high will not help...
Back then, Zhou Xingyun came to Mu Ya for advice on archery with a different idea, and learned some basic knowledge from her.
Zhou Xingyun learned that warriors can inject internal energy into bows and arrows, greatly increasing their power.
An ordinary bow has a very limited range. Even if the bow string is broken, it is impossible to shoot the arrow a thousand meters away.
However, after the internal force is injected, the situation is completely different.
Internal force can strengthen the bow and
Arrows, making them tougher and more lethal.
The bowstring that could be easily pulled open with only one force, after injecting internal force, requires a lot of force, or even a hundred force to pull it open.
The solidity, penetrating power, and defense-breaking effect of arrows injected with internal force will also be qualitatively improved.
Therefore, when Huang Feng's advance troops attacked the city gate this morning, the enemy's young general stood on the manhole fence built yesterday. When he saw the soldiers operating the crossbows, he would shoot them to death without hesitation.
Not only that, if the bed crossbow is not placed in a good position, it will even be destroyed by his sword.
Facing such a sharp shooter, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but wonder.
It seems that he shot the arrow yesterday just to test his skills and test the environment. Today, Huang Feng's soldiers launched an offensive, and the enemy general showed his true skills.
"How's the battle going?"
Zhou Xingyun led Han Qiumiao, Han Shuangshuang, Wei Suyao, and Mu Ya to the Xuanmen Tower first, while the rest of the Zhenbei Cavalry Regiment assembled their troops at the Xuanwuguan Walled City and were ready to go.
"Marshal Qi, the current battle situation is not very good. Seven of our troops were killed, and the enemy is estimated to have dozens of casualties."
General Wen reported to Zhou Xingyun that so far the soldiers stationed at Xuanmen had repelled two waves of enemy attacks.
In other words, this was the third time they attacked the city gate and used blunt objects to hit the city gate.
Currently, seven of our troops have been killed, all of them killed by enemy archers' arrows.
Huang Feng's advance troops suffered very few casualties because they mainly defended with shield formations and did not storm the city gates.
During the first two waves of attacks, when the enemy soldiers realized that their physical strength was running low, they decisively retreated and replaced them with another wave of soldiers to continue the attack.
The enemy is like termites eroding the ancient trees in the sky, destroying little by little and achieving results little by little.
"Aren't they afraid that we will send troops from Wumen?"
When he heard that Huang Fengguo's advance troops were launching an attack this morning, Han Qiumiao was very confused.
Xuanwu Pass is composed of two gates, "Xuanmen" and "Wumen", one on the left mountain path and one on the right mountain path.
Although the design of Xuanwu Pass has a shortcoming, which will disperse the garrison strength, but if used well, this shortcoming can sometimes turn into an advantage.
Just like Han Qiumiao said, Huang Feng's advance troops only have ten thousand people, and they are taking the initiative to attack Xuanmen. If the Zhenbei Cavalry Corps sends a special agent team from Wumen to raid Huang Feng's rear, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Of course, the Zhenbei Cavalry Corps did not dare to send troops from Wumen easily. If the enemy also ambushed Wumen, the situation would not be good.
"Wei Chen feels that they seem to be a little impatient." General Wen said thoughtfully.
As the vanguard of the siege, their main task is to put pressure on the defenders and cause them psychological pressure. The attack should wait until the large forces arrive before taking action.
However, the commander of Huang Fengguo's advance troops seemed to be very anxious. The day after they arrived at the gate, they began to attack the city gate.
If they can continue to exert pressure like they did yesterday, the soldiers stationed at Xuanmen will definitely be very tired after two or three days.
But they didn't do that...
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow pierced the void and hit Zhou Xingyun between his eyebrows.
It seems that the enemy generals on the well railing have discovered the Marshal Zhenbei Cavalry, standing on the tower watching the battle.
Zhou Xingyun was very majestic today, wearing a shirt symbolizing Marshal Zhenbei Cavalry. The enemy general could see the big showman on the tower at a glance.
arrow
Attacked head-on, Zhou Xingyun remained unmoved, because Wei Suyao had already drawn his sword and flicked away the arrow that attacked her lover.
When General Wen witnessed this scene, he couldn't help but secretly praise Wei Suyao in his heart. He was worthy of being the marshal's virtuous wife. He was very good at martial arts and his swordsmanship was clean and neat.
At the same time, Mu Ya quickly drew her bow and nocked an arrow, preparing to retaliate against her opponent.
However, before Mu Ya's arrow could be fired, Zhou Xingyun stopped him and said, "Wait...he deliberately shot it crookedly to make them think we couldn't shoot it."
Although she didn't know why Zhou Xingyun said this, Mu Ya was still very obedient. According to Zhou Xingyun's words, she shot the most substandard arrow in her life.
The arrow was like a bird that had lost its soul. It drew a parabola in the air and dropped with a beep about fifty meters away from the enemy general.
This distance is just right. The enemy can see that Mu Ya is a capable archer. Most people can't shoot that far. However, compared to their own generals, she is two levels lower.
Hilarious! Seeing Mu Ya's bluff but anticlimactic arrow, the enemy suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhou Xingyun and others stood on the tower and could hear boos from the enemy camp.
"Excuse me, Marshal, can we shoot them?" General Wen asked curiously. Judging from Mu Ya's actions, she seemed very confident that she could shoot the enemy.
If that's the case, that would be a big help.
"Yeah. But it's not the time yet..." Zhou Xingyun replied arrogantly. Now if the other party knew how powerful Mu Ya was, they would definitely retreat immediately, and then his Yan Ji Army would have no chance to appear.
Zhou Xingyun and Han Qiumiao came to Xuanmen first to see the situation. The other friends from the Zhenbei Jockey Regiment would follow after putting on their equipment. That was the time to open the eyes of the enemy...
What's more, Zhou Xingyun has other bold ideas.
Yesterday, Zhou Xingyun proposed to attack the city. He was not just joking. When he saw the enemy troops approaching the city, he had the above idea.
Of course, it is taboo to rush out of the checkpoint to fight, but... Zhou Xingyun thinks it is feasible.
Yes, the strange abilities Zhou Xingyun acquired this quarter have faded away, but in his mind, he vaguely felt that attacking them would be a very good choice.
The key is the timing of attacking.
Moreover, the combat equation in Zhou Xingyun's mind had been completed at the moment when Mu Ya shot the arrow crookedly.
The enemy thinks that our bows and arrows do not have enough range to hurt them, so they will naturally stand there and laugh at them unscrupulously.
When the Yan Ji army arrives at the tower, a wave of arrows will disrupt their rhythm, causing the enemy to be in chaos.
In the event of an unexpected battle, retreat is the enemy's only option, because they are only advance troops with very limited strength.
This was also the reason why Han Qiumiao was confused. Huang Feng's army was still waiting to see what would happen, but the vanguard of only ten thousand people adopted a very radical offensive. The completely different response measures between the front line and the rear were beyond her speculation.
Logically speaking, when Huang Feng's large army is marching, it is the day when the vanguard troops attack the city.
Why didn't Huang Feng's large army come up with pressure and cooperate with the advance troops to put pressure on the Xuanwu Pass soldiers? That's because the supply line is too long.
If Huang Feng's large army and the advance troops all came to the city to show off their power, the supply line in the rear would have to move forward.
If the Zhenbei Cavalry Regiment sent a special team to cross the mountains and forests to cut off their food and grass supply lines, the soldiers of Huang Feng Kingdom would be dead.
This is also the real purpose of Isabel yesterday telling Yan Jijun to pay attention to the take-off point of the paragliding suit.
