Xiao Zhanming held a spear in his hand and looked down, his eyes gradually darkening.
Originally, the Northern Desert Army was still clamoring, but now, there was suddenly no movement.
This kind of silence gives people a particularly weird feeling...
"General, the Northern Desert Army has stopped moving. Are you ready to retreat?" the captain behind him asked in a low voice.
Xiao Zhanming frowned, "The Northern Desert Army has attacked three times without getting any benefits. If I were Cha Hu, I would definitely be angry and prepare to attack again, but now the Northern Desert Army has stopped moving!"
"Could that be the order from the Northern Desert Army general? Telling them to stop attacking the city?" Captain Wan continued.
"If they stop attacking the city, why don't they retreat?" Xiao Zhanming asked.
"This..." Captain Ten Thousands couldn't answer.
Although the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry stopped attacking the city, they did not all retreat.
They are still marching in front of the Northern City.
Xiao Zhanming felt that something was abnormal, so he said: "Order everyone to be on guard and never let up!"
"It's...general!"
Soon, six captains of ten thousand men passed on the order.
In the Northern Desert Pioneer camp.
Cha Hu used the fastest speed to find kerosene and said to Toya: "Ninth Princess, everything is ready, are you ready to take action?"
Batu's eyes also fell on Toya.
Toya raised her head and glanced at the sun. It was about to set, and said calmly: "Now is not the time, wait until it gets dark!"
Batu and Chahu suddenly understood, and they gave a thumbs up in unison.
"It must be the Ninth Princess, she is really smart!"
Batu smiled and said, "Jiu Mei, as expected of you, your ideas are quite vicious!"
"With the help of night and fire attack, I don't believe we can't break this northern city!"
In an instant, all the blood in Batu's body seemed to be on fire.
Toya didn't say anything more. She raised her head and observed the Northern City, muttering in her heart... This Northern City is really not that grand. If there is sufficient food and grass and strong troops, the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry may not be able to break it. After all, the Wolf Cavalry
The main battlefield is the plain...
Time passed by minute by minute.
Gradually, the sun sank, and the sky and earth fell into black.
On the northern city tower, torches were lit, the light was extremely bright, and the dancing flames looked like a dancing woman in the darkness...
Xiao Zhanming still dare not relax until now.
Tight as a string.
Naturally, the same was true for the Wu Dynasty's army. Everyone looked serious, as if they were facing a powerful enemy!
Now, even Xiao Zhanming is a little puzzled and cannot understand the operations of the Northern Desert Army.
Just when he had doubts in his heart.
"puff!"
Suddenly, the darkness in front of the tower was torn apart by orange firelight.
In the firelight, the armor shone not too brightly, but when gathered together, it was particularly dazzling.
When Xiao Zhanming saw this scene, his face darkened, like water.
Are we going to attack the city overnight?
Fighting at night will naturally reduce the combat effectiveness of both sides.
In the Northern Desert Army camp, Toya felt that time was almost up, so she pulled out the long knife on the saddle and shouted, "The vanguard camp is listening to the order and prepare to attack the city!"
Twenty thousand people immediately cheered up and formed an array...
Cha Hu was also full of fighting spirit now and shouted: "Rocket preparation!"
Wow…
Ten thousand archers are all on standby, and the rockets burning in the darkness are like sparks in the night.
Xiao Zhanming was watching from the tower and realized something was wrong, so he shouted: "Get ready to fight..."
With the order, the guards on the tower all entered combat mode, holding their weapons tightly.
Toya shouted again: "Launch!"
Whizzing…
In an instant, a wall of fire appeared in the sky, getting closer and closer to Beijing City.
Tens of thousands of rockets swept out with a power that swallowed the whole sky.
The rockets in Xiao Zhanming's eyes grew bigger and bigger. He reacted subconsciously, raised his arms and blocked them with the spear in his hand, "Everyone, form a shield formation!"
The guards on the tower all raised their shields high.
But what was shot was a rocket. Because the shield was made of wood, part of it burned instantly, and the fire started.
"General, it's a rocket!"
"The shield can't stop it at all!"
"This is how to do?"
Discussions rang out, one after another, accompanied by screams of death.
Xiao Zhanming had guessed it and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, some of you will defend the city and some of you will put out the fire!"
"Also, all golden guards, obey orders!"
Facing the overwhelming rockets, Jin Yiwei had a shield in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand.
Every time a rocket is fired, there will be buffer time.
Xiao Zhanming seized this opportunity and ordered ten thousand golden guards to launch their crossbows.
The next second, an airtight rain of arrows hung from the sky.
If the bows and arrows of the Northern Desert Army are single-shot rifles, then the Wu Dynasty's crossbows are sniper rifles that can fire continuously, fast, stable, accurate and ruthless...
As the general who carried out the order, Cha Hu brandished his mountain ax and roared, "With a shield formation, the Wu Dynasty army will not be accurate at all!"
But when he said this, he regretted it, because the accuracy of the crossbow was not at all, but the quantity. Just like Maxim, who was born in the world war, his continuous fire directly caused destruction to the opponent, and he was known to harvest heads.
The name of the machine…
Now, Wu Nu is the head harvester of this world!
The rain of arrows fired by the crossbow directly taught the Northern Desert Army a lesson...
Just like that, the shield formation was ruthlessly shattered, and batch after batch of Northern Desert troops fell.
The unfired rocket fell to the ground, and because of the kerosene on the ground, it caught fire on the spot, and the pioneer camp was also engulfed in fire.
When Cha Hu saw this, his heart trembled. He looked at the broken shield in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, put out the fire and continue to form the formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wu Dynasty's version of the plow opened its bloody mouth like a glutton again. Many people fell into a pool of blood before they could react.
Although a fire broke out on the tower of the Northern City, it was brought under control with timely remediation.
As for the Northern Desert Army, the opportunity they had previously seized has been lost.
Cha Hu quickly came to the rear and said to Batu and Toya: "General, Ninth Princess, please retreat quickly. I'm afraid we won't be able to capture the Northern City tonight..."
Batu naturally saw it and said in a deep voice: "How could this happen?"
Cha Hu gasped for breath and said: "We used rockets, and they also used arrows to fight back. And these arrows are very powerful. One can penetrate the shield. The shield array is extremely weak under such an arrow rain attack and cannot be blocked at all.
Can’t stop!”
"Also...Also, the current momentum of the Pioneer Battalion has been suppressed, and the morale of the army is unstable. If this continues, I am afraid that the entire Pioneer Battalion will be wiped out..."
Although Batu and Toya were reluctant, the reality was that they had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
"Order the vanguard camp to retreat a hundred steps!" Batu said in a deep voice. He did not withdraw immediately because the North Desert Wolf Cavalry had not retreated in the past five years...
