The war is coming as expected

In the early morning, along with the sound of fierce horns, the Beiliang army formed a neat formation outside Tanzhou City. Everyone was wearing armor and holding crossbows.

This is the largest bow and arrow camp dispatched by the Northern Liang Army in history, with nearly 30,000 people. Almost all the infantry who do not need to participate in the siege today have joined the bow and crossbow camp.

The front row is a huge siege crossbow, modified by the Mohists, the arrow is triangular and glowing with cold light, and the wooden arrow shaft is about half a foot long.

This kind of bed crossbow requires multiple soldiers to handle it at the same time and is extremely powerful. One arrow can penetrate hard iron armor, and whoever is hit by the arrow will die.

In the middle are densely packed soldiers holding infantry bows. The range of infantry bows is farther than the horn bows used by cavalry. Both the tension of the arrow strings and the penetrating power of the arrows are better than those of cavalry crossbows.

Half of the soldiers in the formation hold crossbows and wait for orders. The other half lie flat on the ground and use their feet to draw the bow. This can save energy to the greatest extent and shoot farther. The combination of the two can allow the arrows to fly

Maximize the landing point.

This is late spring, and the slight heat of summer has begun to loom, and there is no hint of wind. In fact, sweat will appear on the foreheads of the armored soldiers in a short while, but compared to the blood, this sweat is nothing.

.

Behind the huge crossbow formation, nearly ten thousand infantrymen stood in formation, neatly divided into square formations of five hundred people, stacked on top of each other, and spread out along the back of the formation.

Each infantry formation is separated by a cloud cart in the middle. The cloud cart has an iron sheet on the outside to block the bows and arrows, and there are steps inside to facilitate soldiers climbing up the rock. The height of the cloud cart is also adjusted according to the city wall of Tanzhou City to ensure that the soldiers can climb up the cloud.

After leaving the car, you can climb to the top of Tanzhou City.

Lin Sanhu, who shouted for a deadly battle in Liaodong in the military camp two days ago, was also among them. Not only Lin Sanhu, but also Shi Lie, who had just joined the Beiliang Army, Wang Shouren and his brothers, Liaodong recruits and Beiliang first came to the camp.

Attack the city together!

Behind the siege army are naturally the huge catapults. On the side of each catapult is a group of auxiliary soldiers, among whom there must be a sturdy man holding a giant hammer.

A lot of gaps have been reserved between the catapults, allowing the attacking cavalry soldiers to pass through. The White Snow Guards and Red Flame Army have already formed their troops to guard against sneak attacks by the cavalry in the city.

At the top of Tanzhou City, Tuohamu, who had escaped from Longhanguan Pass, felt his scalp numb when he looked at the Beiliang army formation outside the city. This formation was much larger than when they first attacked Longhanguan Pass.

Because he wanted to make meritorious service, the former Longhan Pass guard volunteered to take over the task of guarding the city. Now he felt a little regretful in his heart. He didn't know whether he could survive the siege.

Naturally, there were arrows protruding from the city tower, but Tuohamu could tell from the military flags that were shot down that day that the range of Beiliang's crossbows was much better than his own.

Wanyan Zongcheng, who came after hearing the news, also looked nervous. He put his feet on his feet and looked at the Beiliang military formation outside the city and trembled: "The power of the Beiliang army is indeed extraordinary. It can be called the elite in the world."

The general of Tanzhou City finally realized why his side had been defeated repeatedly since Beiliang entered Liaodong. It turned out that it was not his own side, but that Beiliang's army was too strong.

"Tuohamu, I'll leave the city to you. Give me at least three months to hold on and buy time for my Yanzhou army to break through Jianmen Pass!" Wanyan Zongcheng said sternly.

At this time, he no longer blamed Tuohamu so much. After all, the strength of the Beiliang Army was there, and the result would probably be the same no matter who else was guarding Longhanguan Pass.

"No!" Tohamu nodded heavily, knowing that the time had come for him to risk his life.

A general platform was set up in the Beiliang army, and there were many generals from Beiliang and Liaodong, including Chu Yucheng, Yan Hongyi, Xin Ji, etc.

There are several military flags standing on the general platform. There is no wind in the sky. The military flags are a little deafened, as if they can't cheer up. However, you can faintly see a few military flags with either the word "chen" or the word "beiliang" written on them.

Naturally, there were large leather drums on both sides of the general stage, lined up on the left and right in a flying geese pattern. Behind him, a burly man with blood-red tattoos was waiting quietly with two hammers in his hands.

"With this huge crossbow camp, the golden soldiers on top of the city will probably be shot into a hornet's nest." Lang Yi, the commander of the Right Cavalry Army, said, stroking his snow-white beard.

"It's good luck for everyone to get a glimpse of Beiliang's new crossbow camp today." Huangfu Mu said with a smile: "If we achieve results, then Mo Xuzi will probably be proud again."

"Haha." The whole audience burst into laughter.

"The arrows of our Beiliang Army will definitely be inserted into the top of Tanzhou City today." Chu Yucheng said confidently:

"Aren't we a bit bullying by setting up such a large crossbow formation? We should be more reasonable." Xin Ji laughed!

Chenyue chuckled and said, "What truth are you talking about? The greatest truth in the world is within the range of the crossbows of our Beiliang Army!"

These words made everyone feel extremely domineering.

"The army is ready and can attack the city at any time." Chu Yucheng said solemnly from the side.

Chen Yue stood up and walked slowly towards the general platform. In front of the general platform was the neatly organized Beiliang formation.

"My fellow soldiers, the time has come to wash away fifty years of humiliation in Liaodong!" Chen Yue only said a short sentence and made the whole army solemn.

Especially the soldiers who had just joined the army from Liaodong, everyone's eyes became fierce. The story told by the Marquis of Beiliang in the new army camp the day before yesterday had spread throughout the army.

At this time, they felt a surge of blood. Even though the word "death" had long been forgotten by them, the hand holding the knife no longer shook.

Just when the entire audience was filled with murderous intent, the Beiliang military flag on the side suddenly swayed slightly, and then the flag fluttered more and more fiercely.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Chen Yue murmured again: "The wind is blowing."

Chu Yucheng and other generals were stunned, somewhat unaware of what the Marquis of Beiliang meant.

Chenyue raised his voice and shouted: "Liaodong! The wind is rising!"

The eyes of the whole audience were excited. The generals on the stage felt the strong wind in the sky and finally realized the surging momentum carried by the wind.

Lin Sanhu looked at the figure of Beiliang Hou across the distant military formation, his expression was trembling uncontrollably, and he seemed to be rushing out unconsciously.

"Liaodong! The wind is rising!"

After another loud shout, all the soldiers in the army finally began to roar along sparsely.

Chenyue took a step forward, drew his sword forward, and roared with all his strength:

"Liaodong!"

Thousands of people roared in unison:

"Wind blows!"

The shouts soared into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the burly men on both sides of the general platform suddenly dropped their hammers.

"Boom!"

One sound.

I saw a large array of tens of thousands of crossbows, all filled with arrows, pointing directly at Tanzhou City in front of them.

"Boom!"

As the drums sounded, angry shouts resounded from the army:

"Liaodong! The wind is rising!"

Thousands of arrows fired!

The jet black arrows covered the sky and the sun, and fell into Tanzhou City along with the huge stones.

The sky and the earth change color.

Liaodong!

Wind blows!
