Chapter 48

The lieutenant general wanted to persuade him, but the soldiers who heard Gao Yeyun's words were filled with enthusiasm and shouted: "We swear to live and die together at the border! Kill——"

"King Yun, be careful!" The deputy general next to him suddenly changed his face and exclaimed in surprise.

A huge boulder was seen hitting Gao Yeyun, but Gao Yeyun snorted coldly, saw his legs slightly bent, and then suddenly jumped into the air, facing the boulder directly.

With a "boom" sound, Gao Yeyun smashed the boulder into pieces with one punch.

The deputy general breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment he forgot about King Yun's martial arts, which was also quite powerful.

The leading general of the Zhongxuan Kingdom is a fat man, and his physique is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

He immediately ordered the attack on the city, and behind him were the soldiers carrying the doorposts, carrying the huge doorposts, and headed towards the city gate. Gao Yeyun stared closely at what was going on below, raised his hand and signaled: "Get ready!"

The people of the Zhongxuan Kingdom are not stupid either. They know that the soldiers of the Fenglin Empire must be hiding on the city wall, waiting to attack them!

Therefore, the people walking at the front were all holding heavy shields. They were arranged closely and kept pace with each other in order to provide cover for those behind.

This is the most common attack method when sieging a city.

Gao Yeyun has studied this tactic. Although there is no particularly good way to stop the opponent, he has actually researched several plans.

"Archers, prepare."

On the city wall, a group of archers stood up in unison, their bows full, ready to release arrows at any time.

If anyone looks at their arrows carefully, they will find that these archers' arrows are slightly different from ordinary arrows.

Their arrows were all wrapped with wet cloth strips. If you smell them carefully, you can still smell the smell of kerosene.

Gao Yeyun asked people to tie cloth strips soaked in kerosene to arrows and shoot them into the enemy camp.

They were not asked to shoot people to death, but were asked to shoot arrows onto shields. In this way, the kerosene on the shields would burn as long as it touched a spark.

"Fire arrows!" Qingfeng gave the order when those people came within shooting range.

Under the city tower, countless arrows were fired at the vanguard of the enemy army. Those people from the Zhongxuan Kingdom lowered their bodies for fear that they would be regarded as targets and shot to death.

The soldiers did not seem to consider the shooting position. Some of the shots hit the shields, and some injured people, but there was no widespread death.

When the fat general of Zhongxuan Kingdom saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the archery skills of the soldiers of Fenglin Empire were not very good at all!

"Let go!" Another wave of arrows was fired at the enemy.

At the beginning of the battle, the two sides made tentative attacks. The other side thought they had control of the rhythm, did not panic at all, and moved forward steadily.

At this moment, the archers on the tower changed again. This time, they replaced the arrows with flames.

The feathers on the arrow tails were also covered with kerosene. Although the flames were not big, the sight of them neatly arranged in a row was also very spectacular.

Countless flaming arrows flew towards his vanguard. Wherever those arrows landed, flames shot up into the sky and ignited a raging fire!

Some fell on shields, burning the shields directly, and some fell on people. The people who were fine just now soon turned into fireballs, rolling on the ground in pain.

More and more people were hit by fireballs and then set on fire.

Their originally neat team suddenly became a little turbulent and messy.

Gao Yeyun said directly: "Fire the arrow!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, thousands of arrows were fired.

The Zhongxuan people paid the price for their panic. Because of the lack of shields, many people were shot in the vital parts and fell to the ground.

All this happened in an instant.

The general of Zhongxuan Kingdom was so angry that he shouted: "Trash, cavalry, hurry up!"

This kind of start made him very uneasy.

He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to deal with him at the beginning, and he would suffer a big loss from the beginning. He was underestimating the enemy!

The dust was flying, and the cavalry was dispatched, shouting and heading towards the city gate!

They all held tools such as flying hooks and flying claws in their hands. When they were close to the city gate, they wanted to fly these things out, grab a certain point on the city wall, and use their strength to leap to the top of the city wall!

But their plan was about to fail again this time. The city walls were covered with oil and extremely slippery. The flying hooks and flying claws that had worked well in the past had no effect at all this time.

Not only that, because the cavalry got too close, many of them were shot dead and fell off their horses.

No matter how fast the cavalry is, can they still be faster than arrows?

"Fire arrows!" Fenglin Empire's arrows seemed to be inexhaustible.

The people of Zhongxuan suffered a great loss and were shot to death in large numbers.

The leader of Zhongxuan Kingdom screamed and called for an attack. At the same time, he issued orders to have people set up ladders to attack the city.

People from the Zhongxuan Kingdom risked their lives carrying ladders and erecting them on the city wall.

In the past, the ladder could be set up easily, but this time it became disobedient. No matter how it was placed, it could not be placed correctly, and it was also very difficult to fix.

The ladder that had just been fixed could not bear the force. When someone stepped up, the ladder tilted sideways, making it impossible to go up.

The people on the city wall didn't even look at them, and continued to shoot arrows at the cavalry in the distance.

What's going on? It's so terrible!

The soldiers of the Zhongxuan Kingdom who were setting up the ladder were in such a hurry that their four feet were uncoordinated.

Gao Yeyun stood on the tower to show his responsibility. He and his lieutenants were paying attention to the battle situation and shooting arrows from time to time in order to kill the opponent's powerful general instantly.

Someone saw the doorway and whispered to the fat general of Zhongxuan Kingdom: "General, the enemy is too cunning. They poured oil on the city wall. It was everywhere on the wall and our ladder couldn't be erected at all."

The general of Zhongxuan Kingdom screamed with anger, but there was nothing he could do. It didn't mean that there was not much oil in the city, so why was there still so much oil?

The attack has just been launched. If we retreat at this time, we are afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable.

"General, the terrain in the south of the city is difficult and not suitable for attack. In my opinion, we might as well divide our troops and send people to repair the north gate!" The people of Zhongxuan are not stupid either. They have done their homework before coming here, and they have also studied the border town thoroughly.

As for how they knew the topographic map of the border town, it's hard to say.

"That makes sense. Go there yourself and lead a group of troops to the north gate to distract the enemy."

Although the North Gate is also quite dangerous, it is far inferior to the South Gate! If some enemy troops can be contained, it will be very beneficial to their attack.

As soon as the deputy general kicked down a ladder that had been stabilized, he saw a scene of a fierce general rushing to the north gate with his troops.

When they approached the city wall, the soldiers poured oil down. A soldier below the city was splashed with oil and shouted: "Oil! They are going to burn it with fire. Get back quickly."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The soldier's voice came out, and other soldiers responded one after another. A lord soldier who rushed to the front immediately gave orders to his soldiers.

The soldiers who had thrown the oil altar received the order, stepped forward as instructed, used flints to ignite the oil-soaked arrows in the hands of the archers, and then flew downwards with the flaming arrows.

In less than half a minute, the enemy troops under the city were in serious trouble, especially those soldiers who had their bodies doused with oil and were on fire.

The enemy troops under the city immediately became a mess, everyone was in danger, and no one wanted to be too much contacted by those "fire men", so the entire enemy team retreated.

"Don't let those who are on fire get close to other people, and those ladders, grab them all, don't let the fire burn them!" The angry voice of the fierce general rang out in the chaos of the army.

After running hundreds of meters, the attacking team under the city stopped.

"General, withdraw your troops. If we continue to fight, the losses will be small, but the morale of the army may be in chaos!"

The general of Zhongxuan Kingdom almost shattered his old yellow teeth. As he watched soldiers fall one after another, he was in a state of confusion.

It seems that he is going to make new plans!

"withdraw troops!"

Zhongxuan Kingdom's first siege ended in failure.

Gao Yeyun looked at the retreating Zhongxuan Kingdom soldiers with a sneer on his lips, and his thoughts drifted to the day before yesterday.

In the tent camp.

"King Huiyun, that man has run away." The spy came to report.

"Okay. Go down!" Gao Yeyun said.

These scouts probably thought that their whereabouts had not been exposed, right?

"King Yun was really foresighted. Knowing that the enemy had sent a scout, he took advantage of the situation and leaked false information to the enemy.

We only have five thousand soldiers in the army. If we say it is tens of thousands, the other side will definitely be wary of it. It is said that there is insufficient oil, but in fact there is enough oil in the city. If the enemy comes, we can still attack with oil." said the deputy general.

"Oh, these scouts are too pusy." Gao Yeyun dismissed them.

Gao Yeyun had known about the poisoning for a long time. Instead of stopping the scouts, he allowed some people to drink it, causing the water source in the city to be destroyed and there was no illusion that it was difficult to sustain the water.

In fact, the water storage in the city can still last for two days.

The good news of victory in the first battle and the defeat of thousands of enemy troops by 5,000 men made everyone in Fenglin Empire City elated and proud.

The people in the city had already spontaneously flocked to the city gate, cheering to welcome the victorious soldiers.

"In our Fenglin Empire, capable ministers and generals can fight one against a hundred. The uncivilized barbarians in this small country can only show their bravery for a moment, so why be afraid?" The people were extremely proud.

"Yes! I saw with my own eyes that those soldiers from the Zhongxuan Kingdom were killed without even wearing armor."

"I also saw that their weapons were burned."

"You are right. As long as King Yun is here, there is nothing to be afraid of. Our Fenglin Empire has elite soldiers and strong generals, and the enemy can only be caught off guard."

"King Yun is brave, long live the Fenglin Empire." With the discussion and sudden shouts, the people all became excited, one wave after another, rising and falling in a radius of hundreds of miles, and the sound shook the heaven and earth.

"I will personally go to the front line to let those barbarians know that our Fenglin Empire cannot be invaded and completely eliminate them." King Yun said with great courage, he pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky.

"Kill!" Five thousand elite soldiers roared in unison, raising all kinds of weapons in their hands toward the sky.
