"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang," the sound of arrows hitting various objects kept ringing. Many arrows hit the shields held by the infantry, but had no effect at all.
The Feng soldiers at the front were holding the ladder with one hand and holding a shield with the other hand to cover most of their bodies. They were running forward desperately. For them, it only took a dozen breaths to cover a hundred meters. But they can't completely avoid danger while running.
"Ah, uh," there are people constantly being incapacitated, killed or injured under the arrows. Once someone falls, the people behind will quickly take over the original person's position, and then continue to move the ladder forward step by step under the rain of arrows. Sent all the way to the river bank, Feng Jun's charge was very fast.
Seeing that the vanguard of the Feng Army was less than 30 meters away from the moat, Lan Wu issued instructions again. After receiving the order, the archers on the city took out another type of arrows with oily cotton tied to them from their quivers, and then fired them at With the help of the person next to you, light the arrow and continue shooting.
The next moment, flaming arrows flew densely toward the Phoenix Army.
Since tying collodion on the arrows would affect the arrow's shooting speed and distance, and would cause the flame to extinguish if the speed was too fast, Lan Wu did not let the archers on the city use that kind of rocket until the Feng army approached the moat.
Those kerosene are made of cotton soaked in oil. When hit hard on the shield, sparks will fly out. If the kerosene gathers enough, the burning area can be rapidly expanded.
If it were shot directly at Feng Jun, it would be fine if it did not penetrate the leather armor Feng Jun was wearing. If it was shot at the flesh, not only the flesh of those Feng Jun would be torn apart, but the scorching temperature on the arrow would also make those people scream in agony. It is easy to temporarily incapacitate a soldier.
The effect of rockets is extremely obvious. In the thirty meters distance from the shore to the river, the number of Feng Jun who fell was only much more than the Feng Jun who died in the charge in the previous seventy meters. The Feng Jun's charge line had a horizontal line. Several hundred meters long, if the distance between each corpse was less than one meter, then the two rounds of shooting by the Star Army had already caused the Feng Army to lose no less than a thousand people.
After arriving at the moat, those responsible for building the ladder raised the ladder high with the help of their companions, and then quickly lowered it down.
During the process of placing the ladders, the bodies of many soldiers were inevitably exposed, causing the defenders on the city to shoot at them even more crazily.
In the night, sharp arrows kept falling on some Fengjun, and the screams fluctuated. One after another, Fengjun fell to the ground or fell into the river, but even if they had to step on the corpses of their companions, those Fengjun The pioneers of the army are still persisting in completing their mission.
In fact, there are still many arrows shot directly into the river. For the defenders, the more arrows they shoot, the better. It doesn't matter whether they aim or not. Especially at such a tense moment, it is very common for arrows to miss. .
While the infantry of the Feng Army were busy building ladders, the archers from behind quickly followed up to support them. Several rows of archers stood upright one by one. Under the instructions of the general above, they attacked the Star Army on the city one after another, because from below Going up will weaken the power of the arrows. Those Fengjun archers are not far from the city wall.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air continued, and sharp arrows flew out one after another, heading straight towards the star troops on the city.
"Ah," under the random arrows, many star troops were directly shot by Feng Jun, and because of the city wall's obstruction, most of the parts they were shot at were vital positions. After screaming, those who were hit by the arrows fell one after another. Down.
Perhaps the Feng Army's position is not good, but there are too many of them, and a casual arrow shot by each of them can pose a great threat to the Star Army.
Because the enemy's counterattack was too fierce, the remaining Star troops in the city did not dare to expose too much of their bodies when shooting arrows, so that the number and accuracy of their arrows were greatly reduced.
At the same time, Lan Wu and a group of Star Army generals on the city tower were paying attention to the fighting situation between the two sides. Under the cover of the enemy, his archers had suffered many casualties. Although the reserve personnel were filling the vacant positions, it was still difficult to stop them. The enemy's advance.
Because the resistance they received became smaller, the enemy troops below the city behaved extremely bravely. In just a few breaths, ladders were set up on both sides of the river bank.
Seeing that Feng Jun's charge was faster than expected, and they were about to reach the river bank via the ladder in a blink of an eye, Lan Wu frowned, and then ordered the heralds on both sides: "Send the order and let the archers concentrate on shooting." People crossing the bridge.”
After Lan Wu's military order, the battle situation became more and more tense. Because arrows kept flying from below, even the heralds on the city were a little worried at the moment.
By this moment, the Feng Army's shouts of killing had long been interrupted by the sound of arrows and the screams of the soldiers. However, under the command of the generals of the Feng Army, the Feng Army personnel continued to charge forward wave after wave. Go, endlessly.
The several siege beasts in front of Zhao Tianyi's chariot were stimulated by the fighting situation and roared from time to time. If there were no one controlling them, they would spontaneously rush forward with the army.
Deaths and injuries during the river crossing were unavoidable. On the chariot, Zhao Tianyi quietly watched the battle ahead, his expression unchanged because everything was under his control.
At the same time, Lu Yunyou and the others were facing a scene of flames soaring into the sky. The high city walls could no longer block the spill of light, and they could clearly hear the sounds of fighting over there only a few hundred meters away. .
Not knowing the specific situation of the battle, everyone was already nervous about the situation, because this battle was related to their fate. If the Feng Army really entered the city, then they would all go there to participate in the battle.
Fortunately, Long Yi said before that with Lan Wu here, the rock pass must be unbreakable. Out of their trust in the deputy general, Lu Yunyou and the others are still relieved. Of course, in this unknown situation, they will be suspicious. Purely normal.
"What do you think the situation is at Chengguan now?" Out of curiosity, Jun Wucheng wanted to discuss the situation at Chengguan with Lu Yunyou and the others, but he knew very well that Lu Yunyou and others knew nothing about the situation there just like him. Know.
"Who knows," Lu Yunyou shook his head. He felt that the light over there had become much stronger, but he couldn't even make a normal guess about the specific situation over there.
"Then we have to wait here forever?" Still unwilling to give up, Jun Wucheng always felt that he could ask something.
"Do you still want to go over and have a look?" I don't understand why Jun Wucheng always asks unnecessary questions. Lu Yunyou, who is paying close attention to the situation there, has lost his patience.
And his rhetorical question completely dispelled all other thoughts in Jun Wucheng's mind. The next moment, Jun Wucheng completely sobered up and stopped asking questions that he knew he couldn't get answers to.
After gradually calming down, Jun Wucheng could only watch the flashing fire over there and think about what they would do if the Star Army failed to defend the city gate.
On the other side, after no longer paying attention to Jun Wucheng, Lu Yunyou listened more carefully to the sounds coming from the east, hoping to hear some information from those sounds.
Similar to his behavior, countless people in the school field and in the city were silently paying attention to the situation at the city gate after discovering the war between the two armies. Although many people believed in Lan Wu's ability, after knowing Despite the huge disparity in military strength between the two countries, many people were still worried that the Star Army would be defeated.
Regardless of these circumstances, at the location of the city gate, when Lan Wu ordered to concentrate on attacking the Feng troops who were crossing the bridge, many Feng troops were shot by random arrows while walking on the stairs. If they were not directly shot to death, they would fall in. Waiting to be drowned in the river.
In fact, it is only a trivial matter to shoot those Fengjun. If it hits those stairs, the splashing fire oil will directly ignite the stairs. When the fire is strong, those Fengjun will have to carry the fire and continue to move forward, but those stairs Because it is too long and not strong, it cannot withstand multiple people crossing the river at the same time. It becomes even more fragile after being burned by fire.
In some places, those Fengjun running or running on the ladder broke directly in the middle. The Fengjun above without exception could not escape the fate of falling into the water. Those who knew how to swim were fine, but those who did not know how to swim could only shout for help. Those ladders The damage caused Fengjun a lot of trouble.
Of course, even so, under the cover of the archers at the rear, many Feng soldiers successfully reached the other side through the ladders. After landing, those Feng soldiers took slightly shorter ladders and ran towards the high city wall. Before the gate was breached, their target was the Star Army on the city tower, and they still needed to climb to the city via a ladder to fight with the Star Army.
In the chaos, several Fengjun generals mixed in with the crowd and set up ladders under the tower facing the suspension bridge. Then they climbed up with weapons. There were two long slings connecting them not far away. suspension bridge.
As the Feng Army rushed to the city, the mentality of the Star Army on the city changed. Everyone suddenly panicked. Seeing more and more enemy troops crossing the river, their movements were not as agile as before, and they had to guard against the enemy troops. Archers, their attack efficiency is greatly reduced.
