Suddenly, a figure passed before Duan Xian's eyes.
It's Murong Chui!
Just when Tan Pingzhi and others led the cavalry back, the Di Qin guards on the city tower also noticed something strange.
I go!
Our Great Qin cavalry did not take advantage!
How can this be!
The fierce battle between Liu Yu and Murong Chui was extremely exciting, and the defenders on the tower were also attracted. In accordance with some conventional rules on the battlefield, when the two generals fought alone, the defenders on the tower were very
The quality ones did not shoot arrows.
It should be said that it was this move by the defenders that saved the Beifu soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for several hours from afar.
If the Xiangyang defenders fired arrows at this time, then all the elite cavalry of the Beifu soldiers might be handed over here.
There was no resistance at all.
But now, a melee has begun, and General Fu Rui, who has not heard the battle report for a long time, finally climbed onto the tower again accompanied by Liang Cheng.
"Why haven't you fired the arrow yet?"
"There are so many cavalry here, why don't we kill them quickly!"
Seeing the guards standing beside the city wall watching the excitement, Fu Rui's anger immediately rushed to his forehead!
"General, this is against the rules."
"The generals of the two armies are fighting each other, we cannot make a sneak attack."
"How can you win a battle if you follow the rules regardless of the rules?"
"I wonder if you deserve a beating again?"
Fu Rui laughed angrily at them. These little soldiers, who had been following Fu Jian's rules recently, were all stupid.
"I, the Di people, were able to take over the Central Plains because they didn't follow the rules!"
"I tell you, on the battlefield, you will never win a battle if you follow the rules!"
Liang Cheng on the side said silently: General, General, our glorious history of the Di people does not need to be spread everywhere.
How embarrassing.
"But..." The soldiers were still reluctant. Below the city tower, Murong Chui's horse had lost control, Di Qin's cavalry formation was scattered, and Liu Yu's dagger also came after him.
The battle was so exciting that even Fu Rui's scolding of the soldiers could not reach their ears. The soldiers who were a little further away from Fu Rui kept peeking under the tower.
"But what?"
"Why don't you shoot the arrow quickly?"
"Do you also want to hang human heads on the city gate?"
Thinking of those bloody heads swaying in the wind, everyone's hair stood on end and they shuddered several times.
"General, spare your life!"
"You guys, shoot your arrows right now!"
When it comes to the question of whether to save face or life, there is never any need to make too much suspicion. Fu Rui is not joking, he really dares to do this.
Look, his long sword has been unsheathed, Fu Rui dares to kill someone!
Just now, he also killed someone!
Who is not afraid of his power?
What are the rules?
Can it be eaten?
Can it save your life?
The soldiers didn't dare to talk anymore and honestly loaded their bows and arrows.
The arrow clusters flew out quickly without any hesitation. As long as the Qin soldiers were willing, their accuracy in shooting arrows was still very high.
Sure enough, arrows flew out in bunches, and the Beifu soldiers under the city were immediately attacked.
In order to cover the rapid return of Liu Yu and others, the battle formation on Beifu's side was also pushed forward appropriately. Although the overall change was not big, it was closer to the shooting range of the Di Qin defenders on the city.
Wang Mi arrived in time and arranged a defensive counterattack. However, the defenders on the tower were on a mission, and behind them were General Fu's steel swords threatening them.
In order to save his own life, he shot arrows like crazy.
Looking at the arrow clusters falling like raindrops, Wang Mi sighed: "Are these Qin soldiers all robots?"
His complaints fell to the ground lightly, and no one picked up at all.
I'd better hide away!
For some reason, the fiercer the battle, the stronger the demonic wind blowing inside and outside the city.
At this moment, countless arrow clusters and strong winds were mixed together, which could be called a violent storm!
"What the hell kind of weather is this?"
“It’s June in the middle of summer, and there’s wind and sand?”
Under the continuous attack of arrows and wind and sand, Wang Mi, who wanted to be a hero, had no choice but to hide behind the shield array.
"Xiao Lang, I think the situation is going to be unfavorable to our side!"
Duan first protected Wang Mi, but then looked up at the sky. The sky was dotted with stars, and there were bright white spots everywhere.
The arrangement of this constellation is really dangerously tight.
"Look at this celestial phenomenon."
"What celestial phenomena are you looking at!"
"What time of the year is it? I'm still in the mood to watch the sky!"
"Those are superstitions!"
Duan Xian was helpless. Could he not understand that the phenomenon was not believable?
I think back then, when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, the horoscope was also very good, and all kinds of fortune tellers said it very nicely.
He said a lot of things about the auspicious horoscope and the favorable conditions for the Yan Dynasty.
Everyone has seen what happened next.
It is precisely because of this lesson that Duan Xian no longer believes in celestial phenomena. However, people's mentality is so strange.
As long as you are in a crisis and feel panic, it is easy to focus on those strange things that cause chaos.
Duan Xian was like this, and Tan Pingzhi who had just escaped from danger ahead was also like this.
Facing the gusts of evil wind, Lao Tan, who was in a panic, still raised his hands and silently recited various incantations of the Master of Heaven. His appearance was really pious and ridiculous at the same time.
Although Wang Mi was in deep danger, fortunately Liu Yu and others had returned safely. A rough look showed that about 80 of the 500 cavalry attacked and were wounded and killed by arrow clusters.
Liu Yu rushed back to the Beifu battle formation, found an open space, quickly dismounted, and entered the battle.
The Di Qin soldiers in the city had no intention of sending cavalry out to challenge the city for a moment. After most of the cavalry returned to the Beifu battle formation, they went straight back and stopped fighting.
Only Liu Yu, Tan Pingzhi and other limited generals were still fighting desperately.
The so-called fighting is actually just blocking arrows.
The Qin soldiers are not idiots. They finally went out of the city to attack once, and they let you Beifu soldiers get in the way.
In a short period of time, no more troops were sent out.
Since they don't send troops, it is impossible for the Beifu soldiers to fight at close range.
At most, they can only rely on strong bows to try to kill a few more defenders on the tower.
Although Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi are also good at using bows and arrows, given them a strong bow, they will definitely be able to shoot down the Qin soldiers on the tower one after another.
However, neither Liu Yu nor the crossbowman Tan Pingzhi is shooting arrows now. They have more important tasks to do.
That is to meet Wang Mi as soon as possible.
"Zhiyuan, what should I do?"
"Once arrows are fired from the city tower and the Qin soldiers in the city attack, the situation will be too unfavorable for us!"
Liu Yu hurried over and saw Wang Mi hiding behind the shield array, so he knelt down on one knee in front of him.
It was precisely because of his arrival that Wang Mi's plan to release the heavy crossbow was delayed.
"Slave, please don't panic. The situation is indeed not good for us, but as generals, we must stabilize ourselves first."
"stable?"
"To tell you the truth, I really can't control myself."
"The situation is so critical. We don't have enough manpower and equipment to attack the city. We have cavalry to attack, but the enemy won't attack again!"
"When it comes to infantry, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City, and we can't get the slightest advantage."
"I have tried all kinds of methods, but I still can't restrain the Qin soldiers. How can I still hold on?"
Liu Yu was anxious, and Qin Bing's response was far beyond his imagination.
