Chapter 167 The attack of the scorpion (Part 2)
Behind the earthen wall, watching the black and fanged people gathering outside, watching them howl and bone spears stand, Xie Si'an's face changes color.
Luo Minman obviously came to break through this golden sand castle.
"Maybe, if you encounter floods, mudslides, etc., the stored food will be washed away or buried. Only after winter will they come in a brigade." Xie Si'an's face was serious.
Lu Ning nodded. In fact, from a certain perspective, the poor and bad rivers of Man Liao have been struggling for his right to survive?
But this barren land has limited resources, and it is only a life-and-death relationship between the barbarians and the local people.
He sighed, reached out and took off the arrow on his back. He picked it off from the soldiers when he was just climbing the wall.
In the earthen castle, no matter the male and female villagers, they have organized themselves. The male group climbs the wall, the woman is preparing to send wooden, stone arrows upwards, etc. If the male group has a gap, the woman will make up.
Even children in their seventies or eight years old were under the wall, waiting for the call.
Everyone knows that if this battle is lost, the entire castle will flow into a river of blood and no one will be spared.
Tang Yuniang was wearing a fox fur and stood beside Lu Ning. Now, she is the only woman on the earth wall, but she is afraid that after the Liaoman starts to attack the city, there will be more and more women on the earth wall.
Yang Shi and Luo Zhen also pulled out their waist knives, looking at the more and more black and humiliating Yao Man not far away with a serious expression.
"Have you been to Bozhou to deliver the letter?" Lu Ning asked.
"It was not too late, but the Liao Man came suddenly and it was winter again... The provost in Hexi might be relaxed and was killed..." Xie Si'an gritted his teeth, "But if the villages in the east can hear our gongs, they will definitely go to Bozhou to ask for help."
Lu Ning nodded, slammed his long bow, shot an arrow outward, tested the strength, angle, etc., and then he felt at a loss.
Everyone around was stunned, and Yang Shi even thought to himself that the so-called bravery of the Wenyuan Academy also relies on the advantages of the Qi army's military armor? He can only fight with the wind and is now in a siege of Liao Man. Is he scared to death?
"Ao!" There were almost no signs, and the fangs suddenly roared wildly, and rushed towards the earthen castle like a tide.
Under the white sky, these black and fangs were like evil ghosts that had just sprinkled into the dust, sweeping across the sky.
Tang Yuniang shivered, Lu Ning turned her head and smiled at her, saying, "Don't be afraid, they are just a lot of black mud on them, and they are all barefoot, which can swell up the dust." Then, "Look carefully, aren't there many fangs with red feathers? They are all tall and are all leading the way. They should be the little bosses. When they get closer, I will shoot and guess whether it's right."
Tang Yuniang looked hard at the distance, but she was far away and the loess was everywhere. How could she see clearly whether the fangs were weeds or feathers on her head?
Beside Lu Ning and Tang Yuniang, Xu Liang and Xu Dali had already pulled out their waist knife. When they heard Lu Ning's words, they looked at each other and felt helpless. The new master had no idea how urgent the situation was. At this moment, he was still leisurely bragging to make fun of his mistress. His former son-in-law was gentle, but his personality was completely different from the new master.
However, the new owner is really brave. If the son-in-law had been in the past, he would have been so scared that his face turned pale.
"Zhong!" Lu Ning shouted and suddenly let go of the bowstring.
The tall Tuman who rushed to the front suddenly fell to the ground.
Liaoman ran very fast and reached the range of arrows in an instant, but most local soldiers knew that they were good enough to shoot at such a distance, for fear of not being able to kill them, but they did not expect that the arrow suddenly flew out of the formation. Liaoman responded and fell down, and was surprised to look at Lu Ning.
The beautiful girl with a snow-white fox fur and cloak beside Lu Ning was particularly eye-catching. Many local soldiers were guessing whether the extremely noble Qi Renyuan shot arrows. Xie Si'an roared over there, "Shoot!" and the drum sounded, extremely high.
Immediately, the arrows fell like rain, and some fangs were caught in the arrow and fell down.
However, the Liao Barbarians were numerous and surrounded by siege. The Tubao Village males, over 14 or 15 years old and under 60, were only 3 or 400. If they had to defend the city from all sides, how could they form a rain of arrows? If it weren't for the Yang family and more than 100 entourages from the Luo family became powerful supporters, they would probably not be able to stop the Liao Barbarian's attack.
Even so, Liaoman quickly arrived under the wall of the fortress. Liaoman shot arrows on the fortress. Liaoman threw his bone spear up, and Tuman shook his vines, with stones tied to it, and smashed it over again and again.
The screams of local soldiers sounded from time to time on the city wall.
Liao Man does not have the right tools to climb the city. Otherwise, it would be this golden sand castle, as long as Liao Man attacks it in large numbers, it will definitely not be able to protect it.
However, some yamen climbed the earthen walls barefoot, grabbed the weeds, and stepped on the gaps, and were also very fast. Especially in some areas, the earthen soldiers were temporarily suppressed by the arrows and spears of the yamen. Some yamen climbed onto the earthen walls quickly, and one was lifted down by the earthen soldiers and swords and spears, and two or three jumped up.
The only wonder is the earthen castle on the west side where Lu Ning is located, which is the most numerous and craziest frontal attack direction.
But under the earth wall, there were tall fangs with red bird feathers on their heads lying everywhere. Those fangs with bows and arrows and spears had already been shot down. The fangs with climbing walls naturally suffered the greatest damage, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they retreated one after another.
Xie Si'an shouted at the defenders and went to other walls to support him, but he was extremely shocked.
Yang Shi and Luo Zhen couldn't see anything, but they were afraid that there were storms in their hearts.
Because even if I didn't pay attention at first, I slowly discovered that almost all the key figures under the earth wall were shot by this Wen Zongyuan. They shot every shot, but they actually shot every shot. Since I discovered that the Wen Zongyuan's sharp shot, I really didn't miss a single arrow after paying attention.
Tang Yuniang's beautiful eyes were like waves, and she blinked frequently, and her pretty face was astonished as she could not hide her surprise.
Xu Liang wanted to slap himself in the face, but he just complained to the new master in his heart, but he didn't want what the new master said to the mistress was obviously a very natural statement, and it had nothing to do with making fun of the mistress.
Xu Dali giggled, "Master, you are so awesome!"
Lu Ning shook his head. There were not many arrows in the castle, and it was impossible for him to use them all. There were always times when the arrows were used up. If the reinforcements from Bozhou could not be waited for, it would be certain that the castle would break the city. If the city was really broken, it would be hard to say whether he could fight out from all directions. It was completely different from the fact that he had the confidence to sneak into the prefecture and escape without any obstacle.
"Woo!" The fangman suddenly blew up his horns, and then the fangman who besieged all the earthen walls suddenly retreated like a tide.
A tall fangman stared at Lu Ning for a while, turned around and penetrated into the woods.
The other fangs screamed and gradually disappeared into the woods.
Xie Si'an breathed a long breath, turned his head and saw that in the north, there was a faint black smoke rising from the direction of a nearest village. He couldn't help but sigh, "Changzhai, it seems that it's over!"
Everyone was silent, but obviously there was no way to do so. The castle was unearthed to provide assistance, but they were killed in vain.
"I'll go and have a look!" Lu Ning said suddenly.
Everyone was shocked, and Luo Zhen said hurriedly: "The General Courtyard is still in charge of this fort so that the Liao Man will not return again!"
Yang Shi said: "The outside room is extremely dangerous, think twice about the General Hospital!"
His words seem intricate than Luo Zhen's words, but he doesn't know if it was intentional.
Lu Ning had already slid down the wooden ladder. Although he could not avoid the robbery of the neighboring village, he still wanted to see what he could do and it would be good to rescue a few more creatures.
Later historical records recorded that these local people's casualties were just cold numbers, but they were real flesh and blood people in front of them.
