Xu Mu frowned. Before the Beidi army arrived at the city, it was these thousands of goshawks that seemed to launch an attack.
"Feng Qiu!"
Feng Qiu led eight hundred people, quickly set up their bows and arrows, and aimed at the goshawk above their heads.
"shoot!"
Thump thump thump.
Arrows passed by all the way, and hundreds of goshawks fell to the ground in panic. The rest spread their wings and flew away, still making loud cries.
Xu Mu lowered his head.
In fact, there is no need to explore further. There are really only two thousand people left in the entire Wangzhou City. Two thousand people are rushing to die.
"Master, here we come!"
It was like the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and the sound of iron hoofs trampling on the ground made people's ears hurt.
Xu Mu raised his head coldly. There were at least tens of thousands of Beidi cavalry, roaring and holding horse bows, rushing towards the city gate.
"Hide yourself! Raise your shield!"
"call!"
The sky was suddenly covered, and countless horse arrows were thrown down in darkness. In just a few blinks of an eye, there were broken arrows everywhere above the city gate.
The wooden shield he was holding was also shaped into a hedgehog shape.
The Beidi people do not use shields. These wooden shields were roughly made in the past two or three days. Of course, for safety reasons, at least one layer of partitions was added.
Such a rain of arrows is not a big problem.
"Dong, the Beidi people's tactics are to use flying arrows as cover, and the subsequent phalanx will take the opportunity to attack the city!"
Xu Mu didn't know it, but just when he was about to raise his head, another wave of black arrows fell down with a roar that broke through the air.
"Longbow, rocket!"
Unable to discern any direction, a small flaming arrow shot out from the city. In an instant, it landed two hundred steps away from the city gate. The buried kerosene was ignited in an instant, and a
Thousands of fiery snakes climbed up with their heads held high, blocking the way of the Beidi people.
Fire dust filled the sky, and the faces of those who were nearby, including Xu Mu, were all blackened by smoke, and they looked even more tragic.
hold head high--
Under the city gate, the attacking Di horses began to scream and retreat. The advancing Di people's phalanx also slowly stopped moving.
"Archer!"
"call!"
Feng Qiu's eight hundred men quickly took off their wooden shields, stood up with an angry roar, raised their bows and twisted their arrows, and fired a wave of flying arrows at the Di people's phalanx outside the city.
Thump thump thump.
Amid the fire and flying arrows, the Beidi army that rushed forward suffered two to three hundred casualties immediately.
But soon, tens of thousands of Di people on horseback, under the command of several princes, began to shout and run in roundabout ways.
On the top of the city, a dozen heroes who had no time to draw back their bows were immediately shot to pieces and rolled down.
"Hide!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed forward, and another large swath of flying arrows covered the sky. No one dared to raise their head to look at each other. They could only hear the neat and piercing roar, which was faintly about to pierce people's eardrums.
"Don't move!" Xu Mu lowered his head and shouted angrily.
The Di people's phalanx army was blocked by the fire. For a while, they were unable to take the lead.
At least six or seven rounds of horse arrows passed by. When Xu Mu took a breath, he looked around again and found that the entire city was full of broken arrows. Every step he took could crush an arrow shaft.
"Master, the fire is going out!"
"Long Gong, can you see the direction of King Guli clearly?"
"My boss, I can't see clearly!"
Xu Mu let out a deep breath and then gritted his teeth.
"Chen Sheng, pull the catapult!"
Chen Sheng, who had lost an arm, was holding a knife in one hand. A large piece of linen was tied around the broken part of his right arm, and there was still faint traces of blood.
He took the knife in his mouth, and together with dozens of heroes, used his only arm to push the catapult under the corner to a short distance under the city wall.
"Raise the rope!"
Thirty heroes were divided into two groups and grabbed more than ten hemp ropes.
"call!"
The remaining people all brought the flint stones and carried them into the cowhide ammunition pouches of the two catapults.
"Light the fire!"
Chen Sheng raised his knife, looked coldly at the limit of the catapult, and then roared and swung the knife.
Woohoo——
Two huge lumps of fire-breaking rocks, as the lever was thrown, flew into the air in the blink of an eye and turned into two lumps of fireballs——
Boom.
There were two loud landing sounds, accompanied by the screams of countless Di people. It was obvious that this round of catapults seemed to have hit the Beidi people's marching formation.
"Pick up the rope!" Chen Sheng shouted angrily again.
Soon, the ammunition pouches of the two catapults were loaded with flint stones.
"Fight it out!"
The lingering power of the last round of flint stones was still there. At this moment, another flint stone fell in front of the city gate. What Xu Mu didn't expect was that one of the flint stones was obviously out of position, but by some mistake,
They killed seven or eight Di scouts in the forest.
By the way, a small area of forest was set on fire.
Fireworks filled the air and darkened the sky.
…
Tap tap tap.
Lian Yong was riding a horse and holding a knife. Rarely, he raised his waning face and looked at the blackened clouds in the sky in the distance.
Behind him, more than 60,000 veteran households maintained a hurried march in a long snake formation, advancing slowly along the official road with no end in sight.
Most of the veteran households do not have standard equipment, and the robes and armor on their bodies are all homemade rough wooden armor. Most of the knives in their hands have been sharpened again and again, but they still cannot remove the rust on the blades.
.
Many people did not wear helmets, and their silver hair was scattered in the wind. After all, the long marching team was too old. From time to time, some people coughed from the cold, and from time to time, some people trembled in their steps, and some almost fell to the ground.
on the dirt floor.
Deep and shallow footprints were paved all the way.
"The great man has seven million dollars, so we can stop fighting and die." Lian Yong lowered his eyes, his voice full of hoarseness.
Under the dark sky, looking from a distance, at least half of the 60,000 marching troops were already pale.
At their age, if the age is prosperous and peaceful, they should have descendants who can live happily together and enjoy a peaceful family life.
But he didn't know that after living a long life, he still had to pick up a knife to defeat thieves.
"In the 19th year of Youfeng's reign, one hundred thousand soldiers came out of Western Xinjiang and defeated Lang Pass in seven battles. All the rebels were frightened by the news."
"I'll wait until then when my long sword cuts through the waves thousands of feet!"
"The bow is like a thunderbolt!"
"Give me another twenty years, and we can conquer the entire Digou grassland!"
Lian Yong bulged his eyes and turned to look.
The 60,000 veteran households were instantly furious.
Lian Yong returned to his horse. With murderous intent, he cut off a corner of his robe and tightly wrapped it around the hand holding the knife.
This time, you should go like a hero.
It reminded him of that year, when the late emperor ordered his troops on the battlefield in the northwest frontier, with roaring drums, bright halberds, and roars that blocked the clouds and the sun.
Now, there is nothing.
Lian Yong tightened his grip on the knife, raised his arm high, and swung it down heavily.
call.
The 60,000-strong veteran army suddenly sped up and followed the long official road in a snake-like marching formation, suddenly becoming very fast.
