Chapter 250: Loving each other (2)
(It has not been revised yet, but you can check it out tomorrow!)
This bald man is none other than the leader of this horse thief force, and he is also a notorious horse thief in the Western Region, Bachiman!
Xiao Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the bald man sitting on the tall horse, and the other person also looked up at him. The two people's eyes met in mid-air, sharp and full of edge.
On the one hand, there are his own subjects in the capital, a battle that he will defend to the death and cannot lose; on the other hand, there is a once-in-a-lifetime big deal, an important battle that can make the entire horse bandit a step higher.
Both of them saw each other's determination and their tolerance for failure, so they just looked at each other and didn't say any nonsense. A fierce siege began.
A total of 700 horse thieves, even without the help of horses, are a fighting force that cannot be underestimated. What's more, these 700 people are considered to be a group with higher combat power among the horse thieves, and their fighting qualities are there.
As soon as the two sides fought, they could see the difference between these city guards and horse thieves. Under the attack of the sandstorm, the bows and arrows shot from the city wall naturally missed their targets. Coupled with the tension and fear in the hearts of these city guards, it was difficult to form an effective volley.
As a result, after three rounds of shooting, only a few unlucky horse thieves were hit by stray arrows and fell to the ground. The rest of the horse thieves came to the city wall with steel blades in their mouths.
Xiao Yuanfeng frowned even more when he saw this scene. He knew that bows and arrows could play very little role in this kind of weather, and not all city-states were equipped with magic-breaking crossbows. You know, Qi Chengcheng was able to let the soldiers of the Shenfeng Battalion use the magic-breaking crossbow to ambush Duramt. That was because he was Qi Chengcheng, and it would be difficult for anyone else to get such a controlled crossbow.
However, the scene in front of him still reminded City Lord Xiao that although the bow and arrow were affected by the sandstorm, it was helpless, but the three rounds of volleys just now also reflected the nervousness and fear of the city guards. So he chose to stand up and come to the drum beating stage to beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers in person!
Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!
The intensive drumbeats made all the city guards tense up. Seeing the horse thieves who had begun to climb the city wall, they no longer held back! He picked up the stone and rolling wood at his feet and threw it down hard.
In just one breath, more than seven horse thieves were hit by these rocks and rolling logs, causing casualties.
When Ba Chiman saw this, a hint of cruelty appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he murmured to himself: "This is interesting! Send an order to the sons, whoever climbs the city first will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Anyone who beheads the third level will be rewarded with an additional ten taels!"
Naturally, there was a huge "Shahe Horn" waiting for orders on the side. After hearing the bald man's order, he immediately blew the horn horn.
woo woo woo woo! woo woo woo woo!
The sound of long horns echoed with the sound of drums on the city wall, and the fighting city guards and horse thieves also followed suit and attacked desperately.
"Report! City Lord, there are too many enemies in the east, and we have almost used up the stone!"
…
"Report! City Lord, the enemies on the west side are also coming up, please support us!"
…
"It's not good! Sir! Horse thieves, horse thieves have entered the city!"
…
Successive messages continued to reach Xiao Yuanfeng's ears. Although all of this was what he expected, he didn't expect it to progress so fast! He knew in his heart that those stones and rolling logs could not stop the horse thieves from climbing the city. This group of wolf-like guys would not be able to retreat just because of a few stones.
Only by using swords and close combat can we curb their madness.
Wu Li looked at Xiao Yuanfeng's flushed cheeks and the constant calls, and she also became nervous.
"Sir, let me go to support the battlefield to the east! They have already entered the city." The girl said anxiously.
As the defender in the siege, Loulan City already had a great advantage in this aspect. If it hadn't been for the sandstorm and the opponent's attacks in the east and west, and the main defenders were transferred, they would not have been so difficult at this moment.
At this time, there were less than 200 city guards around Xiao Yuanfeng, so there was still a possibility of guarding the north gate. Although two hundred versus seven hundred are not quite matched in terms of quantity, fortunately, they have a geographical advantage, so even if they exchange one for three, they still have to fight.
However, there is a very important prerequisite here, which is that the city wall is not lost. Once these horse thieves successfully board the city, they will start fighting at close range. These city guards are definitely no match for the elite horse thieves. If the battle loss ratio is not three for one, it will be a high price!
This is also the reason why the soldier who sent the message just now was in a panic. Once the enemy is allowed to gain a foothold on the city wall, Loulan City will be defeated sooner or later.
Xiao Yuanfeng naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. Just when he was wondering whether to send Wu Li over to take a look, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the north of the city.
When he heard it, it was the cheers from the Loulan City Guards. Although he was not sure yet, he had this intuition somewhere.
The Bachi Man, who was sitting on a black horse at the foot of the city, obviously heard the cheers. Immediately, a horse thief turned around and entered the sandstorm, apparently to find out the news.
The cheers in the distance were nothing more than a sideshow to the city guards and horse thieves. Wu Li's addition to the battlefield in the east quickly stabilized the situation. After all, he is a promoted master who has participated in the "competition to recruit a bride". He is still very confident in dealing with these horse thieves wandering in the realm of Qi and the realm of potential.
…
Just as the battle between Xiao Yuanfeng and Bachiman at the north gate was heating up, the south gate of Loulan City was also in an embarrassing situation.
Due to Qi Chengcheng's sudden addition, the center area of the battle was moved from near the city wall to dozens of feet away. Seeing this, the guards responsible for guarding the city wall had no choice but to use bows and arrows to greet the enemies, but with little effect.
Not to mention that in a sandstorm, losing the accuracy of a bow and arrow can easily cause accidental damage to friendly forces. With such a long distance, it would be difficult for these city guards to hit them with stones or rolling logs.
When Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei saw this, they naturally knew they couldn't just wait.
Lin Lei quietly sent a message to Lin Fenghuo: "Although this Dalamt is very powerful, he is seriously injured at the moment and will not pose a threat in a short time. You come and restrain him, and I will help Qi Chengcheng solve the problem for him first." Horse thieves!"
Lin Fenghuo could naturally feel that the pressure on Daramt was much less than before, so he nodded and agreed.
After all, the two of them have been practicing in Xiaoyuan Academy for a long time, so they naturally have a lot of understanding when working together. Linley did not rush back into the group of horse thieves and start killing them, but jumped back to the city wall.
As Lin Lei stepped on the city wall with one foot, no less than ten crossbow arrows were aimed at him.
"Don't be nervous, it's me!" He raised his hands slightly and said slowly to the surrounding city guards.
After a moment of careful identification, they finally determined Lin Lei's identity and then put away their crossbows.
"A fierce battle is ahead. I need everyone's help!" Lin Lei went directly to the general in charge of the city guard and made his request.
