Goshawks flew by with their sharp cries.
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.
As the arrows passed by, 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 rushed to their death.
"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, and saw at least tens of thousands of Beidi cavalry, roaring and holding horse bows, rushing towards the city gate.
"Hide! Raise your shield!"
"call!"
The sky was suddenly covered, and countless horse arrows were thrown down in a dark tone. 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.
Beidi people don't 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.
"My boss, the Beidi people's strategy is 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, there was another wave of black arrows, whistling through the air, and falling down.
"Longbow, rocket!"
Unable to discern any direction, a small flaming arrow shot out from the city. In an instant, the buried kerosene that fell two hundred steps away from the city gate was ignited. Fire 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, there were attacking Di horses, who began to scream and retreat. The advancing Di people's phalanx also slowly stopped.
"Archer!"
"call!"
Feng Qiu's eight hundred men quickly took off their wooden shields, stood up with an angry roar, set up 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 immediately suffered two to three hundred casualties.
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 were rushing, 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 advance first.
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 picked up the knife, 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 the knife, looked at the limit of the catapult with cold eyes, and then roared and brandished the knife.
Woohoo——
Two huge lumps of fire-collapsing rocks, as the lever was thrown, flew into the air in the blink of an eye, turning into two lumps of fireballs——
Boom.
There were two huge crashes, accompanied by the screams of countless Di people. Obviously, 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 previous round of Fire-Balling Stones was still there, and this time, another Fire-Balling Stone fell in front of the city gate. What Xu Mu didn't expect was that one of the collapsing flints was obviously out of position, but accidentally 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, holding a knife, and rarely raised his waning face, looking at the blackened clouds in the sky in the distance.
Behind him, more than 60,000 veteran households maintained a long snake formation and marched slowly along the official road with no end in sight.
Most of the veterans did not have standard equipment, and even their robes and armor were homemade rough wooden armor. Most of the knives in my hands have been sharpened again and again, but they still can't get rid of the rust on the blades.
Many people were not wearing helmets, and their silver hair was scattered in the wind. Among the long marching troops, they were all too old after all. From time to time, some people would cough out from the cold, and from time to time, someone would tremble in their steps and almost fall to the muddy ground.
Deep and shallow footprints paved all the way.
"Seven million dollars is enough to stop the fight 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 was prosperous and peaceful, they should have descendants who could 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 in the Daji, 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 the 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. There were 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 quickened its pace, following the long official road, and the snake-like marching formation suddenly became very fast.
