The overwhelming arrows cut through the sky, making a shocking humming sound, with the potential of destroying the dry and pulling the rot, interweaving a dense rain of arrows in the sky.
After the first row of archers finished shooting, they quickly retreated to make up their arrows, and the latter row of archers stepped forward from the gap and shot the arrows in their hands mercilessly!
A total of three rows of archers, working together in a tacit understanding, not only made the attack seamless, but also fully recovered their arm strength.
The arrow rain fell into the front camp of Liang Guo's army, and Liang Guo's army hurriedly raised their shields to defend.
However, the shield can only block one side, and the top can't block the front. Arrows are shot from different angles, and there is always one that can get into the gap and hit the body of Liang Guo's soldiers!
After the first round of arrow formation, Liang Guo's camp fell by dozens.
Chang Wei continued to attack, the archer almost pulled the bow and arrow out of the spark, and the terrifying sound of breaking the sky resounded through the entire city tower. For a time, Liang Guo's army screamed again and again and wailed everywhere.
After three rounds of attack, the number of arrows hit by Liang Guo's army has reached 100.
For Liang Guo's army with 20,000 vanguard troops, the sacrifice of a hundred people may not be a big deal, but if it happened in the blink of an eye, it would be a very serious situation.
In particular, the opponent did not lose a single soldier or pawn, but just wasted some arrows.
Song Kai felt the pressure from the defenders of Quyang City.
What the hell is going on
Isn't Chang Wei the confidant of the Nangong family? Why go to war with Liang Guo
Could it be that the Nangong family was pretending to seek peace that night, but it was actually attracting their attention, so that Chang Wei could destroy the ordnance
The Nangong family has been playing with their Liang army from the beginning to the end
Song Kai narrowed his icy eyes, no matter what, since Chang Wei dared to fight against Liang Guo today, don't blame them for turning their faces and ignoring him!
He broke the arrow on his shoulder, shouted loudly, and used his inner strength to send his voice Lang Lang: "Everyone, don't panic! Listen to my orders! Pioneer Zuoying, form a formation! Flying crane formation!"
The Flying Crane Array is a formation created by Chu Feipeng, the general of Liang Guoshen. It takes the shield as the sky and forms a defensive formation.
A single shield has a limited area of defense, but when all the shields are grouped together, it is an airtight iron roof, and the front is also sealed by a vertical shield.
Arrows have nowhere to hit.
But if they thought that this was all Chang Wei's means, they would be too naive.
"Catapult!"
Chang Wei gave an order.
The archers retreated well-trained, and the catapult was quickly pushed by the soldiers to the edge of the city tower. Stones were loaded, pressed down, and shot. The movements were neat and uniform.
Some generals of the Black Wind Battalion are also there.
Cheng Fugui's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time: "This, these soldiers... OK..."
At the beginning, he was killed by their Black Wind Riders, and he was useless as a group of rebels—
Gu Jiao said: "The art of art is only specialized. We may not be our opponents in close combat, but when it comes to defending the city, they are the kings."
Quyang City is impregnable, not only the city walls and gates are strong, but the tactics of defending the city are also indestructible.
If Zhaoguo Yue Ancient City had such a force, it would not have been so difficult to defend in the first place.
Gu Jiao felt relieved when she saw this. Although Liang Guo's army was large, as long as the gates of the city were not opened and the towers were not collapsed, they would not be able to break through the defense set up by Chang Wei.
An hour later, Liang Guo's army lost nearly 1,000 combat strength, and the command of the general came from the rear. Song Kai gritted his teeth unwillingly, and called Jin to withdraw his troops.
In the first wave of attacks, they didn't even get close to the city wall.
Although he used the catapult a few times indiscriminately, because Chang Wei's attack was too violent, he couldn't get into the range at all, and a dozen heavy stones were wasted in vain.
Liang Guo's army rested for two hours, and launched a second wave of attacks at night.
This time, they came well prepared and pushed the chariot forward dozens of feet with a sturdy shield. Their catapult finally came into play, causing some damage to the soldiers on the tower.
Chang Wei dispatched black powder.
Yan State has not exploited large-scale saltpeter mines, and the raw materials of black powder are very limited, and it is difficult to put them into military use.
Chang Wei turned out all the goods at the bottom of the press box, and the blasting power was not enough, so he used sweat medicine to collect it.
Liang Guo's army was repelled again.
Song Kai was disgraced, so angry that he was about to explode!
He dragged his injured arm, rode on the war horse, drew his sword and pointed at the tower: "Chang's surname! Come down and fight with me! What kind of a man is he who huddles on the tower!"
Chang Wei only responded to him with two words: "Let the arrow."
The confidant sacrificed himself to protect Song Kai from being shot into a hedgehog.
In the middle of the night, the unwilling Song Kai launched a sneak attack, but was beaten again by Chang Wei, who had penetrated everything long ago, and fled.
Day 1, perfect defense!
The defenders were very happy, and the confidence that was hit by the black wind knight seemed to have returned a lot, and everyone had a high fighting spirit.
To say that they are the troops of the Nangong family after all, why they obeyed Chang Wei really benefited from the importance of the Nangong family in the past.
Now that the Nangong family is not in the city, Chang Wei has become the backbone. Naturally, what he says is what he says.
Chang Wei came down from the tower and saw Gu Jiao on the side of the road.
Gu Jiao hugged her arms and leaned her right shoulder lazily against the city wall: "Well done, Chang."
Chang Wei gave her a cold look and said indifferently, "I'm not that familiar with you. Also, I'm here for the people of the city, not to cooperate with you."
Gu Jiao spread her hands: "It doesn't matter, it's fine if you don't cooperate with Liang Guo."
She raised her hand, covered her face and yawned lightly, "It's getting late, I'm going to rest, I'll leave General Chang to defend the city."
Looking at her retreating back, Chang Wei frowned, but in the end he didn't stop her and went to the temporary wounded barracks on the side to visit today's wounded soldiers.
After entering the Nangong Army, the medical officer told him that several soldiers who had been seriously injured and died were rescued by the little commander of the Black Wind Rider.
As long as he fought on the tower, he worked in the wounded barracks for a long time, and didn't leave until it was just over.
"I see." Chang Wei said.
In the next three days, Liang Guo's army launched no less than ten attacks outside the West City Gate, all of which were blocked by Chang Wei's army like a god.
There is food and grass that Gu Jiao robbed from Nangongze in the city. Even if it takes another ten days and a half months, it will not be a problem, not to mention that it doesn't have to be so long. .
The situation in Quyang City is very good.
However, just as everyone was happily waiting for the victory to come, an accident happened.
The gate to the north of the city is down!
They were not attacked by Liang Guo's army, but were blown up by a confidant of the Nangong family lurking in the city with black gunpowder.
That confidant was a soldier in the army, who was guarding the North City Gate. It happened to be his turn to be on duty this night, and no one expected him to do such a thing.
The moment the North City Gate collapsed, everyone rushed forward to capture him, but he had already lit the fireworks signal.
"What is that?" In the military camp, Cheng Fugui looked at the fireworks in the night sky, "It's so beautiful."
Li Jin frowned and said, "It's the direction of the north of the city."
Tong Zhong wondered: "Is something wrong with the North City Gate?"
Li Jin said, "I don't know what this signal means, so send someone to check it out."
They don't know what this means, but Chang Wei is very clear, this is clearly a signal that the city gate has been breached!
Liang Guo's army is all outside the west city, who was the north city gate
Is it—
Out of detail? !
Chang Wei's heart was shocked!
Gu Jiao was dressing the wounds of the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks. When she heard the noise outside, she hurried up to the tower and asked Chang Wei, "What happened?"
Chang Wei said solemnly: "The North Gate was breached."
Gu Jiao was puzzled: "Attack? There is no army going to the north gate."
Chang Wei judged based on past experience: "No, so the situation may be more serious."
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on the side pointed to the camp of Liang Guo's army and shouted: "They have withdrawn!"
Gu Jiao looked around, her eyes were slightly cold: "It's not to withdraw, it's to turn to the North City Gate."
Liang Guo's army is going to attack the north gate.
Gu Jiao and Chang Wei quickly went downstairs.
Gu Jiao whistled, the Black Wind King rushed forward, Gu Jiao took a big step, and neatly rolled over.
Chang Wei called a lieutenant and asked him to temporarily take charge of the defense of the West City Gate, while he rode his horse and chased Gu Jiao to the North City Gate.
When the two were halfway through, they met the soldiers who came to report.
The soldier cupped his hands and said, "General Chang, it's not good! The North Gate is down!"
Chang Wei said: "Speak clearly!"
The soldier said, "That bastard named Zhang Daman blew up the gate during the night!"
The door mortar is equivalent to the door leaflet of later generations. Once they are gone, the door will not be secure.
The gate of Quyang City Tower is made of stone, and it is integrated with the entire city gate. Once it is destroyed, it is impossible to repair it. It can only be built new, but it is not something that can be completed in a day or two.
Chang Wei realized the seriousness of the situation.
They were able to deal with Liang Guo's army because they had the advantage of the city wall. If Liang Guo's army took the opportunity to enter the city, the consequences would be disastrous.
The troops of the other three city gates could not be withdrawn, because their enemies were not only the Liang army, but also the Han family and Jin who were eyeing them.
Then, there are less than 20,000 people who can really go to the West City Gate to fight—
Gu Jiao said calmly, "General Chang, go back and guard your west gate, and hand over the north gate to Heifengqi."
Chang Wei opened his mouth: "But..."
Gu Jiao clenched the reins and looked at the north of the city: "From now on, the flesh and blood of Heifengqi will be the gate of the north city!"
Rubbing my hands together, I want to ask for a monthly pass for Heifengqi~
