A Tatar soldier knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. "I am reporting to the third prince, I don’t know what kind of magic the other Ming soldiers used. For a moment, the ground was burning with fire. The brothers in the front row were not in a hurry to retreat, and their whole bodies were burning." , the brothers tried their best but could not put out the fire. After the sneak attack was exposed, in order to preserve our strength, I ordered the brothers to withdraw!"
"Trash!" Latu picked up the wine glass and threw it to the ground, shouting angrily!
But Bart, who was sitting aside, understood it deeply. After all, he was teased once by the other side's soldiers, even more cruelly than this time. "How many people did we lose?"
"About sixty people!" the man whispered without even daring to raise his head.
When Bart heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, "Third Prince, fortunately, my vitality was not damaged. After these two sneak attack battles, I found that the commander of Huangling City is good at using insidious strategies. If that's the case? How about we come here?" It’s obvious!”
Latu also calmed down at this time. He had already lost two games. He also roughly understood the opponent's strategy. "What do you mean?"
Bart hurriedly stood up, "Third Prince, compared with the defenders of Huangling City, our troops are much stronger! Since we have strong strength, we might as well choose to fight clearly. Let's have a head-on battle tomorrow. I don't believe that we Thousands of warriors can’t take down his city with hundreds of defenders!”
When Latu heard this, he agreed very much in his heart and nodded, "That's it. I'm sure there's a clever person on the opposite side. Send me an order to rest tonight and replenish our troops! Tomorrow we will attack Huang head-on. Lingcheng!"
"The third prince is wise!" Bart said loudly.
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei went up to the city wall. Zhao Xuanyi knew in his heart that there must be a big battle today, so he was also very worried. If the two sides were evenly matched, Zhao Xuanyi would dare to lie down on the city wall to sleep, but The reality is not optimistic!
"Are the enemy troops coming?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Sun Yan who was standing guard and asked.
"Report to Centurion, not yet! Our scouts haven't sent back any news, they probably haven't come yet!" Sun Yan replied.
Zhao Xuanyi looked under the city wall again, "How is the construction below? Are they all completed?"
"It's done. Some of Tang Tianli and the others just went up to the city wall to go back to sleep an hour ago. The arrangements below are all in place according to the Lord's instructions!" Although they have been prepared, everyone knows in their hearts that whether they can survive this hell today is still a matter of time. An unknown number. Seeing how nervous Zhao Xuanyi was, the soldiers' hearts were also lifted!
Zhao Xuanyi stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. At this moment, he realized that the real battlefield was not one percent the same as the game. In the game, he could watch all the soldiers with cold eyes. They were nothing more than his chess pieces, and they lived and died only for victory!
But now he is actually standing on the city wall and seeing the soldiers who have been with him for a few days. Zhao Xuanyi doesn't want any of them to lose their lives because of his command. This may be his responsibility!
"Wang Yunchuan, Wang Yunlong!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted hurriedly.
"My subordinates are here!" The two brothers Wang Yunchuan came over in a hurry!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the two of them, with a very pleased look in his eyes. Fortunately, he still has a few capable masters, "We only have less than three hundred arrows in total. I will give all the arrows to you two brothers now. You can use them again." Find eight brothers who are good at archery!"
"When the war starts, you must do it. Kill one person with one arrow. Don't shoot randomly. You can kill again when you get close. In short, you can't waste arrows. Do you hear me?"
"Yes! I understand!" Shen Wei and Wang Yunlong shouted loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Sun Yan aside, "Give all the arrows to the two brothers and let them do whatever they want. Also, you must protect yourselves. We are small and can only guard on the city wall, and we can only get close to the enemy." When fighting, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Wang Yunchuan and Wang Yunlong looked at each other, their eyes full of emotion. They didn't expect an official to care so much about the lives of his subordinates. "You must live up to the centurion's trust!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned back and looked around, "Where is Tang Tianli?"
"This? Sleeping down there!" Sun Yan thought to himself, didn't I just finish what I said?
"What the hell are you sleeping on? Get me here, he'll sleep there even if you die!" Zhao Xuanyi cursed loudly.
"Yes!" Sun Yan hurriedly ran down the city wall, thinking that the centurion today was a little strange!
Tang Tianli rubbed his eyes and ran over, "Centurion, I'm coming!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Tianli's two dark circles and knew that this was a serious lack of sleep, but he couldn't care about that now. "Tang Tianli, find a few strong ones. When the enemy attacks, you don't have to worry about anything else. You have to figure out how to play with these falling rocks! Pull and throw them, and you will definitely smash the enemy troops under the city wall into meat pies!"
"Yes! Centurion, don't worry, our brothers have a lot of strength!" Tang Tianli found that Zhao Xuanyi trusted him very much and usually gave him all the work. He felt very good about being reused!
"Okay, if you're sleepy, sleep a little longer. Sleep on the city wall so you can fight as soon as possible when the enemy comes!" Zhao Xuanyi patted Tang Tianli on the shoulder and said.
"Yes!" After Tang Tianli said this, he turned and left!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Huo Zhigang who was standing aside, "You, give the shields to the soldiers guarding the city now. The Tatar bows and arrows are not a joke. They are good at riding and shooting. Their natural abilities will ensure everyone's safety!"
Huo Zhigang turned his head and looked behind him, his face full of embarrassment: "Centurion, we only have seventeen shields, but we have more than eighty people! How to divide them?"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his head felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He made a mistake while busy. How could he forget about defense? Fortunately, the city wall is high enough. "You order us to go down and don't attack blindly. We will only defend but not attack. We will attack when the enemy reaches the city gate! All hide under the city wall to prevent the opponent's archers!"
"Yes! You don't need to be taught this. Brothers are very good at hiding!" Huo Zhigang said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi thought about it carefully, and it was right! If everyone hides, the other side's archers will not be fools and will not attack. When the enemy troops move away, won't we become living targets as soon as we show our heads?
"In this case, I will give you a task now!" Zhao Xuanyi whispered in Huo Zhigang's ear and explained a few words!
After hearing this, Huo Zhigang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I understand, my subordinate will do it now!"
After giving instructions on everything, Zhao Xuanyi sat helplessly on the ground. The feeling of waiting for a battle seemed to be similar to the feeling of waiting for death. He was terrified in his heart and had no hope in his eyes! Looking up at the sky, is this the last time I see the moon?
Shen Wei sat next to Zhao Xuanyi. He could also see Zhao Xuanyi's worry and comforted him softly, "Young master, it's up to others to plan things. You have done everything you can, and the rest depends on God's will!"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed and thought about it carefully. He was really unlucky. He had finally survived and encountered such unfair treatment. Even if he was given five hundred elite soldiers now, the thousand people on the opposite side would not be enough to warm him up!
The morning star slowly recedes, and the long night is driven away by the dawn. Like a group of warriors breaking out of the darkness, they occupy the sky and return light to the earth!
Bursts of hoofbeats and footsteps could be heard in the distance. The Tatar army was already advancing towards Huangling City. They were majestic and large in number. In front of them were three hundred cavalry, wearing thick animal skins and long robes, and wolf fangs in their hands. Scimitar, cavalry has liked to use scimitar since ancient times, it is convenient and fast!
Behind them are two hundred archers, each carrying a quiver with twenty arrows on his back, holding a bamboo bow in his hand, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, and his bow and arrows as full as the full moon!
The third group is the sword and axemen. The weapons in their hands are complicated and not very uniform. There are wolf-tooth scimitars, giant axes and stone hammers. Some people hold daggers and carry flying claws on their backs. They walk calmly and powerfully. The eyes were full of murderous intent. The continuous defeats in the past few days made these grassland warriors hold back their anger. Today they can finally explode!
"Here we come, the enemy is here!" Sun Yan pointed in the distance and shouted.
One sentence was like thunder on the ground. All the soldiers stood up and watched. They saw a group of moving people in darkness hundreds of meters away. Who could the waiter be if he wasn't a Tatar?
"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight! Get into your positions!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
Wang Yunchuan and his brother Wang Yunlong each led four archers to ambush on the east and west sides of the city wall. Tang Tianli also led others to seize the ropes in their hands and hide them all under the city wall. Shen Wei directed other soldiers to prepare for defense. Everyone is running around on the wall of time, and everyone is in a fighting state!
Zhao Xuanyi was a little scared when he saw the powerful aura of the army on the opposite side. Looking at the aura on the opposite side, he knew that they would fight to the death today, so come on! I have already set up the Dragon Gate Formation, it’s up to you to see if you have the ability to break my formation!
Li Hanyan, who was hiding behind the hill, was also a little worried at the moment. Seeing that the two sides were facing each other, she knew that today was a fierce battle. What on earth was she going to do? Lead your men up to help? Or continue watching the show here? I was a little unsure for a while!
The Tatar army stopped three hundred meters away. Their strong numbers represented their strength. Simply spreading the ranks could create a strong sense of oppression for the opponent! Latu sat on the carriage and looked at the Huangling City wall in the distance with a smile on his face. It seemed that the other side was also ready.
Bart quickly came to Latu's side, "Third Prince, today is the moment for our two armies to fight to the death. I am willing to lead the vanguard to break the city!"
Latu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! With a fearless warrior like you in my tribe, why worry about big things happening? Our soldiers are at your command. Let me see how you break the city!"
"Thank you, Prince!" Bart shouted loudly. He turned back to look at Huangling City. The hatred in his heart had filled his chest. He remembered that he was humiliated by the soldiers on the opposite side and ran naked across the land. A mouthful of blood almost spat out. , I must take revenge today!
"All the warriors gave me orders. I charged with a hundred swordsmen and axes. Fifty archers arrived fifty steps outside the city to attack. The climbers quickly climbed up the city wall. A hundred swordsmen and axemen set up high ladders to join the climbers. After storming the city wall, twenty swordsmen and axemen broke open the city gate with wood! Do you understand this?"
"Got it!" The roar of nearly a thousand people could be heard clearly by the Ming army a few hundred meters away. This roar also struck the fear in their hearts. All the soldiers held weapons tightly in their hands, and some were timid. His legs began to tremble.
"Come with me!" Bart shouted, leading nearly three hundred Tatar soldiers, shouting loudly and rushing towards the gate of Huangling City. Some of them shouted angrily, and some made some strange screams that they couldn't understand, holding their hands high in the air. Weapon, charge towards Huangling City with all your might!
Zhao Xuanyi watched helplessly as the opponent came over. The pressure in his heart suddenly rose. His breathing became a little difficult, and sweat appeared on his forehead. As expected of a nomadic crowd, even without riding a horse, the speed was still so fast, with a distance of three hundred cloths. , already halfway through the race in less than a minute!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw that the distance was almost there, he shouted, "Everyone hide, no attack is allowed!" Upon hearing this, all the soldiers hurriedly hid their heads behind the city wall, leaving only their eyes to look at the enemy troops outside!
While he was talking, Bart had already led the advance troops to rush a hundred steps away from the city gate. When he arrived, Bart suddenly stopped and waved his hand, "Come on, kill those white-skinned women!"
"Kill!" A hundred swordsmen and axemen continued to charge forward, but they forgot one thing, and that was the hundred horse traps at the gate of the city. A group of soldiers were charging. Suddenly, their feet were empty, and they turned over and fell into the trap. The horse was pitted, and then there was a piercing scream!
Bart took a look before walking up the mountain, and saw that the horse trap was already equipped with weapons, some were scimitars, and some were bamboo thorns. Soldiers fell into the horse trap one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were already nearly thirty people!
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted, so happy! After killing dozens of people, this trap is not in vain! But the soldiers on the opposite side were not fools. When they saw dozens of people falling into the trap, they immediately stopped!
Bart shouted, "Be careful of the trap, concentrate all on the middle route, and continue the attack!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers moved closer to the center, forming a long snake formation about ten meters wide and continued to attack. The role of these horse traps was no longer so obvious. The soldiers on the wall were still waiting to come out. This group of Tatars The Tatar soldiers began to use weapons to detect. As long as they cut the air with their swords, they would find a horse pit below. They naturally avoided it and were about to attack the city!
Tang Tianli saw clearly that even fifty people were trapped in a hundred traps, which was a pity. "Centurion, why don't we take action?"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head and signaled Tang Tianli to calm down with his hand, "It's not the time yet, don't worry!"
Bart led the remaining 200 people to rush through the horse trap. When he came to the city, he saw that the defenders on Huangling City had not come out yet. He immediately ordered the archers to "line up on both wings and prepare to attack! Climbing hands, high ladders" Get on the rack and attack the city quickly!"
