"Drive out the Hulu and defend your hometown!" Someone shouted in response, shouting hysterically to suppress the fear of sharp arrows in their hearts.

"When a man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps away!" More people followed and roared, the sound was like a huge wave, each wave getting louder than the next.

So a moment later, in addition to the rolling stones and logs flying down from the top of the city, there was also a roaring sound like waves crashing on the shore.

The private soldiers and young men of the Huang family in front of the city, after suffering a lot of casualties, heard the deafening shouts of anger, and all of them were trembling with fear.

"Pay attention to cooperation, don't panic, and remember the content of the training in the past few days!

"Those who are carrying stones and wood should lower their waists! Those who are carrying shields should put their shields on the parapet to save energy when their companions are moving stones, and when their companions are throwing wood, lift the lower end of the shields!

"Don't lift it too high, don't expose too many gaps, don't let bows and arrows take advantage of it!"

Yang Ning carried a small shield and kept walking behind everyone, loudly instructing the young men to continuously improve their tactical movements, while coordinating the timing of the "rescue team's" advance and retreat.

"Don't be impatient when carrying or throwing wood and rocks, but save your energy. We have five to six hundred people, and there are only ten or twenty ladders outside the city. They can't climb up that quickly!

"If you are injured, shut up and stop howling. Someone will save you. Why are you crying for your parents? Rescue team, drag them away quickly!"

"Look outside the city, look at your results. Wubao is as solid as a rock now. Stay calm. You can easily defeat them!"

Yang Ning not only pays attention to the top of the city, but also always pays attention to the outside.

Where the pressure was high at the top of the city, he would transfer a group of private soldiers. Wherever the young men were so frightened that their legs were weak, he would give them a heads-up.

Leading a group of new soldiers to fight is a very hard and troublesome task. Fortunately, Yang Kui shared part of the pressure for him, at least so that he did not have to take the lead and could concentrate on commanding the entire army.

The five hundred young men at the top of the city were a ragtag bunch, but the young men led by the Huang family outside the city were no better.

The opponent may have experienced brief training, but siege is too difficult for them, especially when Yangjiawu Fort is well prepared.

Cheng Feng found a gap and glanced outside the city, and his brows suddenly lit up with joy.

As the rocks and logs from the top of the city continued to fall, dozens of people had fallen below the city. Some had their hands and feet broken, and some were beaten until they were covered in blood. They kept wailing and wailing to describe the misery.

Whenever wood and rocks fall from the top of the city, many people will be frightened and flee left and right. The areas around the ten or twenty ladders are the hardest hit areas, with the most fallen bodies and the most people screaming in panic.

Yang Kui led his private soldiers to guard the positions of the ladders. They were more courageous and skilled. The Huang family's private soldiers who climbed the ladder often did not reach half the height, and were either hit by wood or rocks, or were forced to climb down the ladder. Roll down.

Cheng Feng clearly saw someone peeing on his pants on the spot. He was shaking all over and stood there unable to move.

"Fourth Young Master is right, these people are indeed not as good as us! They can't attack them at all!" Cheng Feng felt refreshed, his fighting spirit became even higher, and he had a little more strength when carrying wood and rocks.

In fact, these people were not inferior to them, but their situation as a siege party was much worse than theirs. However, his conclusion that the enemy could not attack was not wrong.

Many young people came to the same conclusion as Cheng Feng, so everyone gradually calmed down, their heartbeats slowed down, their breathing calmed down, and their tactical actions became more rigorous.

Under Yang Ning's constant correction and guidance, the young men, who were no longer nervous and timid, grew up rapidly on the battlefield of life and death, and the damage caused to them by barbarian bows and arrows gradually decreased.

Later, almost no one was hit in the chest or face. Even if they were hit by arrows, most of them were only scratched, and not even two were shot through the arms.

Behind the battle formation of the Huang family, they kept shooting arrows towards the city. The shots made their arms sore, but they did not cause much damage, and they watched helplessly as the killing effect became smaller and smaller. Looking at the dense arrows inserted, the Huqi were still tenacious. The erected shields and the guards who moved more and more calmly could not help but become more and more anxious and frustrated.

Liu Huang was staring at the top of the city, his face so gloomy that he could drip water.

In his eyes, even if a county family has Wubao as a barrier, the people inside will not have much fighting power or tenacity.

A group of civilians who gathered temporarily and only knew how to farm the land should be in disarray, and their troops would collapse at the first contact.

For this reason, Liu Huang's preconception about the direction of the battle was that as soon as his troops began to attack the city, the cavalry under his command would be able to kill dozens of the opponent's people with just archery, and then use the army to sweep across the north in these years. The power of the opponent made the opponent collapse in fear.

There were more than a hundred private soldiers and hundreds of young men, but Liu Huang didn't take them seriously at all.

If there were hundreds of regular troops in Wubao, he would not even think about attacking the city with a similar force, and a mere 800 people would not be able to carry out a battle to attack the city.

When the war started today, Liu Huang came to defeat a group of rabble.

But the development of things was completely different from what he expected.

Yangjiawu Fort was well prepared. There were countless rocks and logs piled up on the city wall in advance. Those private soldiers of the Huang family were unable to lead the young men to the city.

If that was all, that would be it. Liu Huang had never thought of relying on the opponent to climb the tower and defeat the opponent. The private soldiers, no matter how young and strong, would not have much combat power.

But the bows and arrows of his cavalry failed to work, which was beyond Liu Huang's expectation.

Although the shields were crude, they were large and thick enough that sharp arrows could not penetrate, and they could effectively protect the two people through the parapet. The warriors' arms were sore from shooting arrows, and they could not kill too many people on the other side.

Of course, there were casualties. His warriors were skilled in bow and horse shooting. Liu Huang could see clearly that by this time, twenty or thirty people had been killed or wounded on the city wall.

Such casualties are not large, but it depends on who it is for.

Why is it that a group of young and strong civilians, after suffering such casualties, not only did not lose morale, panic, and think about escaping, but instead became more motivated?

How unreasonable!

Are these still a group of civilians?

Compared with the casualties at the top of the city, the casualties among the Huang family's private soldiers and civilians were much greater.

When those young men at the top of the city threw stones, they threw them randomly at first, and the task was completed if they were thrown at the top of the city. But later, they were able to brave the rain of arrows and hit the people under the city with purpose to kill and injure them!

This seems unusual.

It must be the result of early training!

At this moment, Liu Huang realized very clearly that there must be someone who knows how to fight in Yangjiawu Fort.

In just three or four days, he was able to train a young man to look like this. This person is by no means an easy person to deal with!

"Isn't it just an ordinary wealthy family and an ordinary dock? How could it become so difficult? What is the problem?"

Before the war, Liu Huang got to know the Yang family with the Huang family. At that time, he didn't hear anything unusual about the Yang family. How come the truth was completely different from what the Huang family said?

Liu Huang realized that the situation was not good.
