A very strange scene appeared between the two armies. Jiang Wu and the Qi army were eating a meal outside the city, while the Tang army on the city wall was busy carrying arrows and actively preparing for war.
Qin Yu led everyone to move the arrows in the tower to the city wall bundle by bundle.
"Centurion, do you still want to move it? There are so many arrows, you won't be able to use them all." Old Huang followed Qin Yu with a bundle of arrows in his arms.
"It's not enough, far from enough! Tell the brothers, when the enemy attacks the city, don't spare me any time and shoot out all the arrows!"
"Ah?" Lao Huang looked shocked and hurriedly reminded Qin Yu, "Centurion, if this happens, even if we defend today, the arrows will be used up!"
"Don't worry, there are plenty of arrows, just use them." For Qin Yu, he can have as many arrows as he wants, but the prerequisite is to defend the city.
Old Huang looked at Qin Yu in disbelief and asked stammeringly: "Centurion, are you telling the truth? Are you really running out of arrows?"
"You think so." Qin Yu gave Lao Huang a smile, then stuck his head out and looked outside the city.
Good guy, this guy outside the city ate two roast chickens and three bottles of wine in such a short amount of time. Those who didn't know better thought he was on vacation. He didn't look like he was fighting.
Qin Yu took out a steamed bun and waved it towards Jiang Wu who was in the city.
"Hey! Are your soldiers full? I can't handle the steamed buns enough! Don't say your soldiers aren't full!" Qin Yu took a bite of the steamed bun after shouting.
The people on the top of the city also took out a steamed bun and took a bite imitating Qin Yu's exaggerated look.
Except for Lao Huang, who had given his steamed bun to Qin Yu, he could only look at the steamed bun in Qin Yu's hand eagerly.
"Bang!" Jiang Wu slapped the table, "Send the order! The whole army has been fed by this general! Who dares to keep his stomach? I will starve him for three days! Bring me another roasted chicken!"
"Promise!" The ordering soldier did not dare to neglect and hurriedly returned to the military formation to convey the order.
Jiang Wu's generals looked puzzled. What was going on with their own generals? He actually got angry with the enemy over such a trivial matter.
Wouldn't it be better to directly attack the city and kill all the enemies after entering? Why are you so angry with the dead?
The ordinary soldiers of the Qi army enjoyed a good life. On weekdays, they could only eat five cents full when marching, and seven cents full when encountering a big battle. They had not been completely full since the war between Qi and Tang Dynasty.
Qin Yu watched the enemy army start to cook again, and knowing that he had gained some time, he turned around and threw the remaining half of the steamed bun to Lao Huang.
After Lao Huang received the steamed bun, he swallowed it in big mouthfuls, as if he was eating roast chicken.
"Everyone, listen, half is enough. Don't start a war then. We won't be able to defeat everyone." Qin Yu told everyone.
"Centurion, don't worry, we know it." Everyone controlled their desires and only ate half of the food before putting it away.
Not long after, the situation of the other three gates was also reported back.
"What's the situation with the other three sects?" Qin Yu asked.
"Back to the centurion, there is no trace of the Qi army in the other three gates, but the three gates are not willing to send troops to reinforce us." His subordinates reported.
"Damn it! These people are still thinking about conserving their strength. All the steamed buns they sent before were fed to the dogs!" After hearing that they didn't want to support them, Lao Huang jumped up in anger.
Qin Yu nodded and didn't say much.
Qin Yu never thought about asking them to come to support him. Even if the Qi army appeared in other sects, he would not send troops to support him.
With limited troops, rashly deploying troops will create opportunities for the enemy.
Now there are only enemy troops on our side, which is the best result.
······
Soon after everything on the city wall was ready, Qin Yu saw the general standing down at the bottom of the city tower.
"General of the Tang Army! I will give you one more chance! Kaicheng surrenders! Otherwise you will be buried today!" Jiang Wu, who had eaten and drank enough, got on his horse and issued an ultimatum under the city.
Qin Yu stuck his head out, "I, Qin Yu, will not kill unknown people! Tell me your name!"
"Hahaha! Arrogant! Remember! You all died at the hands of me, Jiang Wu!" Facing Qin Yu's reply, Jiang Wu had already expected it.
Jiang Wu pulled the reins and returned to the military formation.
Qin Yu's heart sank, the Qi army was about to attack the city next.
"The enemy is about to attack the city! Brothers! Are you afraid?" Qin Yu asked while looking at his men.
"Don't be afraid! I am willing to live and die together with you!"
"Okay! Then shoot all the arrows next to you at the enemy! Shoot the enemy into a hedgehog!" Qin Yu raised the bow in his hand high.
"Fight, fight, fight!"
On the city wall, everyone's morale was high. Even if they faced dozens of times more enemies, no one felt afraid.
"Siege the city!"
Following Jiang Wu's order, the Qi army launched brazenly!
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the Qi army was like a giant beast, moving slowly, trying to crush the small city in front of them.
The shocking fighting spirit seemed to shock the world, and heavy goose-feather snow fell from the originally clear sky, turning the whole world into a pure white.
However, the dark Qi army did not stop its attack.
The siege ladders, like the claws of a giant beast, were pushed towards the tower by the infantry.
"Fire arrows!" After the Qi army entered the shooting range, Qin Yu gave the order, and thousands of arrows were fired.
"咻咻咻..."
I saw that black cloud rising from the city. Under the sunlight, stars flashed in the black cloud, pressing towards the Qi army.
"Shield Bearer!"
The shield-bearers of the Qi army quickly formed a formation and raised their shields to resist the incoming arrow rain.
In the past, under the cover of the shield bearers, the casualties of the army would not be too great, but this time the arrows Qi Jun encountered were armor-piercing arrows that Qin Yu obtained from the system.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
Screams rang out one after another on the battlefield. The armor-piercing arrows tore apart the Qi army's shields and armor with little resistance. A large section of the Qi army fell to the first wave of arrows from the Tang army.
However, before the Qi army could react, the next wave of arrows from the Tang army came again, and the Qi army fell in large numbers again.
"What! How is that possible!" Jiang Wu looked at the arrow that penetrated the shield and was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
There are arrows that can easily tear through shields, but they are all forged by famous masters. They are very rare and precious, and will never appear on the battlefield.
Moreover, the range of the Tang army's bows and arrows was far beyond expectations. Even if they occupied the high point of the city, they were still more than a hundred steps farther than normal.
This kind of arrow with excellent armor-piercing ability, coupled with the extremely long range, caused the Qi army to suffer heavy losses before they advanced too far.
"Bang the drum! Charge!" Jiang Wu ordered with a gloomy face.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Qi army's war drums sounded urgently, and the Qi army no longer maintained its advancing formation and quickly charged towards the city wall.
Jiang Wu's idea was very simple, which was to rely on his numerical advantage to quickly get close to the city wall, so that the enemy could only deal with the enemy troops below the city and had no time to take into account the advancement of the archers.
As long as the archers arrive at the designated position and rely on their numerical advantage, they can completely suppress the Tang army's bows and arrows on the city wall.
