Chapter 767
One sentence awakened many dreamers. After listening to Lin Han's words, the generals of Ning Jun woke up as if they were dreaming, and each of them was gasping for a cold breath.
People looked up and looked carefully. Isn't it? Feng Jun's city-breaking crossbow first shot the cliff wall full of holes, and then the impact of the stone thrower caused a large piece of gravel to fall off. The cliff wall had sunk inwardly, and the upper rocks gradually hung in the air. If Feng Jun lets shoot like this, once the upper rocks fell, not to mention that the city wall of Wohu Pass could not be protected, even the internal barracks would be implicated.
What a cunning Feng Jun! General Ning's heart trembled and shouted: "Shoot the arrows! Let the rockets--"
Under the repeated urging of the generals, the Ning army soldiers rushed out the rockets in their hands.
With a shout, a layer of fire fog rose from the head of the Wohu Pass, rushed into the sky, and then fell from the sky like a rain of fire, covering the wind army camp.
Feng Jun expected that the opponent would use rockets, but such a dense rocket array still made Feng Jun and others feel chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Nan Ye and Li Sheng ordered almost at the same time that the entire army would set up shields and arrow defense formations.
Under the mobilization of the two of them, the Feng army from both sides of the left and right, a large number of soldiers lined up in neat square formations to block the stone throwing machine and the city-breaking crossbow, supporting the shields and blocking the rain of arrows coming from their backs.
The tingling sounds of impact were connected together, and countless arrows were shot on the shield and rebounded to the ground, but some arrows passed through the shield array and shot into the crowd. From time to time, Feng Jun's soldiers fell to the ground by arrows. In addition, Feng Jun's shield array could not block all the flying arrows. Many still crossed the shield array and shot on stone throwing machines and city-breaking crossbows.
The stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow are all made of wooden. Once they are caught, the burning oil pine on the rocket will soon burn the stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow. There is no water in the Fengjun camp, so they can only wrap the cloth strips on the spear or spear and slap the flames.
However, Ning Jun's arrow formation was too strong and fierce. Many soldiers were hit by the raid while putting out the fire. They screamed and threw themselves to the ground, with flames on their bodies. Seeing this, the other soldiers dared not come forward, and they were so scared that they retreated. Once they retreated, the fire-raising stone throwing machine and the city-breaking crossbow were controlled. It took not long, and several equipment from the Feng Jun had been burned.
The leaders of Nan Ye and Li Sheng were both angry and ruthless. Ning Ren was too timid, cowardly and afraid of death. He did not have the fierce and courageous temperament of Feng Ren, who was more and more courageous. He watched the stone throwing machine and the broken city crossbow caught fire, and the one after another were burned one after another, and both of them were anxious.
Li Sheng directly brought the personal guards and urged him to come forward, picking two soldiers who retreated, and shouting, "Those who dare to retreat in the face of battle, kill them, don't worry! Let me go back to put out the fire!"
Looking at the vicious Li Sheng and the personal guards surrounding him, the Feng Army soldiers were so scared that they grinned secretly, and could only return with a tough bullet and continue to put out the fire with Ning Jun's rockets.
Nan Ye on the other side did not use force, but he spoke very directly. If the stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow in the army were burned out, the whole army would charge and fight with the Ning army. Wohu Pass is so steep and the city wall is so high and solid. It is no different to rush forward to fight with the hand-to-hand combat and death. The Feng army soldiers would rather take the risk of putting out the fire than charge directly. After hearing his words, it turned out that the Feng army soldiers who were frightened by the Ning army's arrow formation were like being stolen by someone, and they rushed back one after another, slapped the fire equipment desperately to control the fire.
Feng Jun shot Ning Jun's arrow, but did not fight back. He just used large equipment to hit the cliff walls on both sides of the Wohu Pass. As the wooden piles and stones continued to hit, the sanks on the cliff wall became larger and deeper, and the upper rocks were completely suspended. Looking from bottom to top, the rocks seemed to be about to fall, and there was a possibility of breaking down at any time.
If the Feng Army attacked the city wall, the defenders in the pass could also repair and fill the damaged city wall in a timely manner, but the target of the Feng Army attack was a cliff, and the defenders could not even save them, so they stared at them and could not exert their strength.
The new army fought bloody battles in front, and Tang Yin, who was pressing the formation behind, was not idle. After the spies from Tianyan and Earth Net found the nearby water source, Tang Yin ordered the entire Tianying Army to fetch water and then transported it to the battlefield ahead for extinguishing the fire.
The Sky Eagle Army had 100,000 people. As long as one of them returned the water from a helmet, it would be enough to destroy the fire-catching stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow several rounds.
The Ning army launched more and more rockets, but the fire of the new army became smaller and smaller. As the battle continued, gradually, the new army soldiers also adapted to the Ning army's arrow formation.
The shield array in front was denser and even less exposed. The soldiers who put out the fire behind also had experience grasping the gaps in the other party's arrow array and ran out to put out the fire together. After pouring a round of water, they immediately retreated. At this time, Ning Jun's arrow array also arrived. After the arrow array passed, they came out to pour water to put out the fire, and then retreated. In this way, this would not only reduce casualties, but also better control the fire.
Above the city, Lin Hanshen frowned, watching the battle. Seeing that his rockets had little effect, they gradually did not pose too much threat to the Feng army. However, the cliffs under attack had reached a precarious level and could collapse at any time. If this continues, the Crouching Pass will inevitably be out of control.
He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked the generals on both sides, "If we continue like this, we will not be able to destroy the other party's siege weapon at all. Someone must go out of the city to fight. I wonder which general is willing to lead his army?"
Ning generals looked at each other and all lowered their heads silently, and no one dared to speak out.
The opponent's siege was no less than 30,000. If he went out of the city to fight and wanted to destroy all the stone throwing machines and crossbow beds of the Feng Army, how many troops would he have to bring? Even if he pulled out all the defenders of Wohu Pass, he might not be able to succeed!
Lin Han asked three times, but no one on the left dared to stand up. Seeing this, Lin Han couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "The wind thieves invade our country's territory and kill our people. I think that our wives, children and young people who stayed in Ningyang must have been poisoned by Feng Jun. The country is hatred and family hates each other, but the generals only want to save their lives... Well, I will fight in person this time!" As he said that, he turned around and shouted: "Prepare the horse!"
He is a county, a civil servant, not a military general. He wants to go out to fight in person, which is no different from going out to die. The hatred and shamefulness of the generals of the Ning army were aroused by Lin Han. At the same time, several Ning generals stood up and intervened and said, "Why use a knives to kill chickens? Sir, don't be willing to go out of the city to fight to the death with the enemy thieves!"
Lin Han knew that he was half a dozen, so he could give him advice. He really went to the battlefield to charge and kill the enemy. He was the first to be killed. The reason why he wanted to go to fight in person was just pretending. He looked at the Ning General who volunteered, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay!"
After pausing, he cheered up and ordered in a deep voice: "Chen Huai, two generals Xie Ling, I will give you five thousand elite soldiers. After leaving the city, I will rush to the enemy formation on the left. I don't care how many enemies you are waiting to kill, but be sure to destroy all the stone throwing machines and crossbow beds in the Feng Army!"
"The last general is obeying the order!" Chen Huai and Xie Ling both took the order and left, then turned around and walked down the city, and ordered their troops to fight.
Then, Lin Han ordered: "Luo Xin and Liang Ben, you will bring 5,000 elite troops to rush to the enemy's formation on the right. As long as you destroy the enemy's stone throwing machine and crossbow bed, you must not fight greedy!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two generals Luo Xin and Liang Ben shouted together and walked down the city wall.
Chen Huai and Xie Ling took the lead in taking five thousand elite Ning soldiers out of the city and headed straight to the Fengjun on the left where Nanye was located.
Tang Yin, who was watching the battle with peace of mind, saw Ning Jun suddenly coming out of Wohu Pass. He was excited and asked his side with a smile, "Ning people don't know how to live or die, and dare to go out of the city to fight. Which general is willing to go over and take the enemy general..."
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Yuan, who was afraid that he would be robbed by others, rushed to Tang Yin and shouted loudly, "I will go there!"
He rushed too far, and the sudden sound was too loud, which made Tang Yin's eardrum buzz.
Tang Yin sighed secretly, the enemy was not the Central Army, nor was the enemy general in the Ningguo court. Why did Shangguan Yuanrang go to fight in person? Besides, he was the first powerful general of his side and made countless great achievements. Why didn’t he know how to be humble and insist on taking the lead in everything?
Seeing that the king had not spoken for a long time, Shangguan Yuanrang became anxious, widened his eyes and asked, "Does the king think that the last general's injury has not healed and cannot defeat the enemy?"
Hearing this, Tang Yin felt helpless, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and waved his hand: "Okay, Yuan Rang, I'm leaving this battle to you, be careful!"
"I'll go back at the end!" Before Shangguan Yuanrang finished speaking, he had already walked out with great strides.
I haven't sent you a soldier yet! Tang Yin wanted to reach out and call him out. Seeing that Shangguan Yuanrang had walked a long way, he immediately said to Zhan Peng: "Zhan Peng, you bring three thousand brothers and go with Yuan Rang."
"Yes! King!" Zhan Peng bowed his order and walked away quickly.
Before Zhan Peng's soldiers could be ordered, Shangguan Yuanrang had already rushed out of the formation with a three-pointed two-edged sword.
He did not catch up with the Ning army of Chen Huai and Xie Ling, but instead met Luo Xin and Liang Ben who left the city later.
Luo and Liang were lucky. They had just left the city and had not gone far, and before they could rush towards the Feng army's battle formation, they saw a member of Feng Jiang rushing towards him alone.
Since only one person came to the other party, they didn't take it seriously, just thinking that the person came was suddenly a crazy wind thief who came to die.
The two of them sneered at the same time and shouted: "Register if you come!"
"I am Shangguan Yuanrang, I would rather not run away!" The two sides were far away, but the roar of the generals was already shocked, Luo Xin and Liang Ben's ears were buzzing.
Who? Shangguan Yuanrang? Hearing this name, the two of them also buzzed. Luo Xin was a little better. Liang Ben was so scared that he fell right away and almost fell off the saddle.
