Wu Gen hid behind the door panel, sticking his butt out and observing the movements of the coalition forces.
After experiencing a storm of attacks, the initial formation of the coalition forces was a bit chaotic, but soon, the flags of each family were raised again, and the basic offensive formation remained unchanged. The Lu family was still in the center, and the Cang family was protecting the two wings. The people of the Ba family followed closely behind the soldiers of the Lu family, but the formation was spread out a bit to avoid being too much hurt by the flying stone carts.
But one change is that the Gu family's troops have concentrated on the outermost side of the southern line. It seems that they want to focus on attacking Linqiu, or bypass Linqiu and attack the back of the Northern Army. Compared with the well-defended Huali City, Lin Qiu was easier to attack.
"How many more stone bullets are there?" Wu Gen asked without looking back.
Zhang Wuyang hurried forward, "The first wave of attacks has already consumed 40% of the stone. Leader, would you like to remind the bridge team to save some time? Huili City is surrounded by flat land. It is difficult to find so many stones."
Wu Gen straightened up and looked at the second earth wall behind him. This wall is obviously higher than the first one in front, so it will not prevent people on the second earth wall from shooting arrows.
"Just leave 30% of the stones, and let Sun Hong dig out the rest for the foundations of the houses in the city. Although Huili City is short of stones, who doesn't want to build a stone foundation for their house?" Wu Gen pondered for a moment and said, "In addition, inform Baoxiang that the enemy may attack Linqiu. Order Jidai and Chi Huahe to be prepared to attack behind the enemy, especially to store water next to the flying stone cart. The Gu family can use rockets. I think they want to burn our Flying stone cart.”
"Don't worry, owner of the village. Ji and Chi have already prepared soil, sand and a pool in the camp. If a flying stone cart is destroyed, don't worry too much. We even dug up the foundation of the house and can't find it." Wood?" Zhang Wuyang said with a chuckle. In order to raise stones, the Northern Army dug out all the stone slabs in the streets and alleys of Huili City. Once the houses were demolished, the people of Huili City would probably cry their eyes out when they returned. Eye.
"It seems that the enemy is going to attack by force. A lot of people are expected to die today." Wu Gen sighed.
"Fortress leader, please go to the second earth wall. There are subordinates watching here." Zhang Wuyang looked at the swarming enemy troops and advised him softly.
"No need, as long as I'm here to keep an eye on it, the coalition forces will put a lot of troops here, and it will be easier for us to deal with it. If we really want to besiege the city on all sides, we are short of manpower, and I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it. We just want to kill more enemies here. Army, save Baoxiang from having too many thieves to fight against." Wu Gen looked up at the forest hills on the right, and Baoxiang had already climbed up the mound. Due to the limitation of the terrain, not many people could be placed there, but the enemy could climb around the hill. This was what Wu Gen was most worried about.
While they were talking, Wu Gen suddenly saw Hu Jia walking over with Ji Yan, and he couldn't help being frightened. Why is this person here? The enemy is about to attack. She ran to the most dangerous place. If something goes wrong, how can she explain this to Ji Ye?
"Third Young Master, why are you here if you don't sit still in the city? Liu Ya has no eyes to see. It's better to go back quickly." Wu Gen quickly stepped in front of Ji Yan and stopped her.
"Wu Zhenfu, the war is going on. My sons and daughters are fighting bloody battles for my Ji family. How can I, a young master, stay in the city and live peacefully. Although I can't fight, sitting here can inspire the morale of the army. Please give me some advice. Please be considerate." Ji Yan saluted Wu Gen.
A flying arrow happened to be shot. Wu Gen quickly knocked the arrow away. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and glared at Hu Jia. The latter spread his hands and looked helpless.
Seeing Ji Yan's look of not being able to refuse, Wu Gen changed his mind and said to Hu Jia: "The enemy may attack the three military strongholds around the back. Quickly send the three young masters to Aikai's military stronghold behind the wall and instruct him to protect them." I wish my young master is safe, and I will supervise the three military camps to properly respond to the enemy."
Ai Kai, Ji Dai and Chi Huahe were all soldiers of the Ji family. They were temporarily grouped here before the war and placed Ji Yan there. With her holding them down, the three of them did not dare to neglect the fight.
Ji Yan's eyes flashed, she was such a smart person, she knew Wu Gen's intentions, she nodded slightly and said: "Please rest assured, Zhenfu, Ji Yan will definitely guard the retreat of the Northern Army, Zhenfu only needs to deal with the enemy in front of him. "After saying that, he did not hesitate, and took Hu Jia down the wall, and then was supported up the second earth wall, and went straight to the Aikai camp.
Just as he turned around, Cheng Jie ran over with a big ax in his hand, "Master of the village, there are many thieves. Lieutenant Bao Xiao ordered me to come over and guard this place together."
Wu Gen looked in the direction of Lin Qiu, and there really wasn't room for too many people there. Cheng Jie originally stayed in the military camp at Qiuxia to listen to orders for support. All the men and horses posted on the earthen wall were drawn to Ji Dai and Chi Hua He Buqu, under Zhang Wuyang's coordination. It would be enough to have one more of his direct subordinates. "Okay." , you just stay here and follow me to meet the enemy."
On the wide battlefield in front of the earthen wall, flying rocks fell again, blocking the coalition's offensive. Compared to the first wave, the gains were much less. The other party has obviously learned the lesson just now, and there is a lot of distance between people. It is no longer like the scene where a stone bullet can kill a dozen or even dozens of people.
Looking at the coalition forces coming like a tide, Wu Gen knew that this time they needed to fight hand to hand. He stretched out his hand and wielded his Zhentian Bow. "Wu Yang, order Xue Xin and Baoxiang on the hill in the city. If they have any spare strength, use Zhentian Bow." Use your bow to support the earthen wall. The Yi Falcon Army will also block the shooting, but don’t move too far forward to avoid being intercepted by your opponent.”
After Zhang Wuyang finished passing the order, Wu Gen silently looked at the formation of the coalition forces. In the distance, the Lu family soldiers were galloping towards the earth wall on horseback. There was obviously a densely packed area in the middle, protecting one of them. Although his appearance cannot be seen clearly due to his armor, he must be an important general.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Gen drew his Sky-shattering Bow and aimed there. In such a chaotic battlefield, not only is it difficult for the eyes to see clearly, but even one's consciousness will be disturbed by the murderous aura soaring into the sky.
It's okay if he doesn't move. Once the arrow is released, it will be exposed to everyone's eyes. But this also has the advantage of attracting the attention of the coalition forces to itself, making it easier to gather and annihilate opponents.
Whoosh, a white arrow flew up from the earth wall, trailing a long trail behind it, spinning toward the densely populated place.
Before the arrows could approach, a man with a shield flew out to meet the whizzing arrows. In the crowd of hundreds of people vying for the best, an umbrella-shaped white light suddenly appeared, like a mushroom under a pine tree in the mountains.
The shield in Bu Kuan's hand had already turned into countless fragments, and he took seven or eight steps back before removing the power of the arrow explosion, allowing Lu Lie to escape. Despite this, several soldiers were still blown away and became victims of the people behind them.
"Zhen Fu, have you ever been injured?" Lu Lie turned to look at Bu Kuan who had sat on the horse again.
"It doesn't matter, young master, please don't get too far forward. Just let your men charge and kill." Bu Kuan rubbed his sore and numb arms, secretly shocked by the power of the opponent's arrows.
"This must be Wu Gen's fault. He is the only one who can carry out a sneak attack regardless of his face." Lu Lie looked gloomy, thinking in his heart, and immediately began to transform, "Don't worry about me, just lead the army to charge. Wu Gen has exposed his position and will definitely kill this beast today."
Although some people were killed from time to time along the way, the coalition forces still approached Huali City. The men and horses of the Cang family kept rushing towards the opposite fortifications. After releasing the arrows in their hands, they quickly turned around and returned, and the people who followed them shot again. In this way, these cavalry with superb shooting skills continued to circle in front of the city, like a windmill, taking turns to maintain continuous suppression of the Northern Army.
Arrows falling like rain is a metaphor, but at this time, the Northern Army really realized the reality of this metaphor. Countless screaming arrows rushed down from the sky. Whether it was the head of the city, the earthen walls or the forest hills, they were all covered by the continuous rain of arrows.
At Wu Gen's feet, long and short arrows fell densely on the earthen wall, like a sea of feathers.
The sun rises from the east, and the dazzling sunlight shines on the faces of the Northern Army, making it difficult to open your eyes. The coalition forces chose to launch their attack at this time, also hoping to take advantage of the cover of the sun. On the battlefield, a seemingly inconspicuous method may affect the course of the entire battle.
Finally, with the help of Tianshi and the bravery of the soldiers, the Lu family soldiers who were responsible for the main attack reached less than fifty steps away from the earth wall. If he charges forward, he can reach the Northern Army fortifications. Lu Lie is confident that with the courage of his men, he can destroy this seemingly small earth wall in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, countless little suns appeared on the opposite wall, on the forest hills on the south side, and on the Huali City on the north side. They were mirrors, some big and some small, some of which were designed to be worn by women in the city for dressing up.
The mirror shone the sunlight onto the coalition forces almost intact. For a while, many people could not see anything, and their eyes were completely white. In panic, the originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic, and many people hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid the dazzling sunlight, let alone continue the attack.
This little trick was proposed by Yang Zheng. It seemed a bit childish, but unexpectedly it had a miraculous effect today.
Whoosh, a mass of black arrows flew out from the Northern Army, mixed with many red arrows, covering the coalition forces mercilessly.
It was only at this time that Wu Gen ordered everyone to use bows and arrows to fight back. At this time, even without flying stone carts, the Northern Army could shoot one or two with the bows and arrows in their hands.
Rows of arrows flew out, harvesting the lives of the coalition soldiers like sickles. Especially the Cang family cavalry on both sides suffered the heaviest blow. Many people turned around and ran back. Compared to the soldiers of the Lu family and the Gu family, these soldiers of the Cang family continued to cause casualties to the Northern Army on the city wall, which naturally attracted the most direct revenge.
Gu Yangsi, who was stationed in the middle army, saw his face darken. The coalition forces were already approaching the opponent's city wall. If the Cang family's troops retreated at this time, leaving the troops of other families without cover, they would probably charge for the second time today. If it was going to fail again, it was possible that the lives of the soldiers would be wasted needlessly on the way to the third charge.
"Blow the drum. The war team will follow. The whole army is not allowed to retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." Gu Yangsi shouted to the soldiers beside him.
The rapid drumbeat sounded again, and rows of supervising teams composed of elites from various families stepped forward with long swords to prevent the soldiers from retreating. But anyone who disobeys orders will be killed on the spot.
Among them, the people of the Ba family who were killed the most were the men and horses of the Ba family. They were originally following the armies. When they saw the army in front revolting, they naturally turned around and ran wildly, but they were greeted by waves of arrows and waving swords.
These people looked eagerly at Bahong, who was stationed in the middle army, and cursed loudly at these supervising troops. Seeing that no one was willing to let them pass, they had no choice but to turn around and run towards the battlefield.
Bahong's face looked ugly, very ugly. His soldiers were not good at this kind of field battle. In front of such young masters and generals, they couldn't help but lose face. Fortunately, Qiu Linhe was not here, otherwise he would have been ridiculed.
Lu Lie, who was charging, heard the sound of drums and looked at the military situation at the rear. He knew that if they retreated further, the morale of the coalition forces would probably drop to an unbearable low. As soon as he gritted his teeth, Lu Lie's figure skyrocketed, spitting out bursts of thick smoke, and transformed into a beast-like existence.
Lu Lie jumped off the horse with his own soldiers, and got down on all fours, like a group of giant beasts rushing out of the wilderness, roaring towards the earth wall that was already close at hand.
Some people died, but not completely...
