: The strategy of exhausting troops and the unsolvable conspiracy
Big rocks were like locusts, hitting the outer wall of Meiling Pass hard, making a huge roar.
Where the city wall was hit, a huge clear hole was immediately created, and the cracks spread instantly.
A section of the nearby city wall immediately began to shake violently.
The Tianyin cult members standing on the city wall couldn't help but turn pale for a moment.
But it is only white, because so far, these stones have not hurt anyone.
But at this moment, more rocks were thrown hard from two hundred meters away.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at the stones subconsciously.
One of them was very inconspicuous, mixed in the middle of many stones, and then just when the other stones began to fall to the outer wall of Guancheng, it suddenly continued to move forward, and then in full view of everyone, it suddenly
He passed through the crenellations of the city wall.
"Bang!"
The two black pawns standing behind the crenel did not react at all. They were directly hit by stones and were smashed into a pulp without saying a word.
However, after hitting it, the rolling stone did not stop at all, but rolled back quickly along the city wall. In the blink of an eye, it had rolled through the passage of the city wall, and then rolled directly down from the other side.
The speed of falling greatly increased its rolling speed.
In the blink of an eye, the rolling stone hit a house more than ten meters away.
With a "boom", the entire house was directly destroyed.
The huge rolling stone passed directly through the collapsed house, then continued to roll forward, and finally hit another house on the other side, making a huge roar.
It just stopped completely.
However, before everyone's hanging hearts dropped, at this moment, the wall that was finally hit collapsed with a "crash".
The whole house collapsed immediately.
Although these houses are made of a mixture of mud and stone and are not that strong, two of them were destroyed at once. If this hit someone...
Seeing this scene, everyone's breathing stopped at this moment.
I felt a bone-chilling chill all over my body.
But at this moment, a thick black shadow appeared above everyone's heads, and then they saw a rolling stone flying directly from the sky above everyone's heads, and finally hit the gatekeeper's mansion in the center.
"Boom, boom, boom..." In the sound of one after another, wall after wall was smashed down, and finally with a loud "crash", the rolling stone smashed directly into the flower pond of the school captain's mansion, causing huge splashes and rolling waves.
People with good eyesight can even see a grass carp collapse directly from the flower pond, and finally fall on the bank beside the flower pond. Then it was vigorously mobilized and slapped twice, and then there was no more movement.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wanwan felt a chill deep in her heart.
What's the difference between these people, under these trebuchets, and that fish?
Ye Wanwan turned around sharply and looked at the catapult in the distance. While staring at the trajectory of the stones projected, she thought to herself that they could not be allowed to continue like this.
If this continues, the morale of these people will be directly destroyed.
Ye Wanwan hid behind the parapet and turned to look at He Qing'er who was not far away. The little girl was so frightened by this formation that she turned pale.
He Qing'er, who had previously said she wanted to assassinate the King of Nanchang, no longer said a word at this time.
This also made Ye Wanwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the other party would ask about her words and deeds at Nanchang King.
What worried Ye Wanwan the most was the scene that night.
Thinking of what happened that night, Ye Wanwan couldn't help but blush.
He Qing'er is going to assassinate the King of Nanchang, if...
"Tap tap tap..." A crisp and neat sound of footsteps came from under the city wall in front.
Ye Wanwan hid behind the female wall and took a sneak peek. The next moment, she became completely solemn.
I saw two teams, hundreds of Wuzhou soldiers, starting to hold up the big shields in their hands, and then walked towards the city wall step by step.
Above their heads were flying stones. These Wuzhou soldiers were striding towards the city gate with the flying stones above their heads.
At this moment, Zuo Fei on the other side immediately shouted loudly: "Archers, archers are all standing up, shoot arrows, shoot arrows."
Among the black soldiers, there were also many hunters who had come down from the mountains, and their bows and arrows had a long range.
At this time, they ignored the flying boulders and kept firing arrows at the Wuzhou soldiers below.
No one noticed that the moment they fired their arrows, the Wuzhou soldiers immediately slowed down.
More people hide behind shields.
Then there was a sound of "Duo Duo Duo", and long arrows were shot on the shield, trembling slightly with considerable strength.
This place itself is not close to the city wall. It seems that the Wuzhou soldiers are constantly pressing forward, but in fact their pace has already slowed down.
It even stopped completely.
With a "swish" sound, a long arrow shot through the gap in the shield. One arrow shot through the neck of a Wuzhou soldier. The next moment, his body slowly fell to the ground.
At this moment, a cold and ruthless hand grabbed him, then pulled him directly behind him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And his original position was replaced by someone else.
Huge stones hit behind the female wall, and several black soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were smashed into a pulp; countless feather arrows fell, and countless Wuzhou soldiers were shot through their bodies.
However, relatively speaking, most of the casualties among Wuzhou soldiers were injured and have now been dragged down for treatment. Only a few people were shot to death.
On the contrary, on the city wall, anyone who is hit by a rolling stone or brushed against it will die almost immediately.
It was at this time that a cold voice came: "Fire the arrow."
Astonishingly, it was the archer behind the shield. At this moment, he had raised his long bow, pointed it at the Tianyin cultists on the city wall, and shot out with one arrow.
In an instant, arrows fell like rain.
Under the countless arrows, many archers on the city wall immediately shrank their heads subconsciously.
At the same time, under the city wall, the shield hand grabbed the shield, slowly moved backwards, took several steps back, and suddenly came to the edge of closing the archer's range...
"Ding ding ding..." Each feather arrow was directly nailed to the shield, trembling slightly.
At this time, it becomes even more difficult for them to hit the enemy behind the shield.
Many good players stopped shooting in an instant. Only those who couldn't calculate the distance were still frantically consuming arrows.
The rolling rocks above his head continued, and Zuo Fei immediately reacted: "Stop shooting, hide, hide..."
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Fei lowered his body and quickly came towards Ye Wanwan's position. Zhang Wanyu on the other side also rushed over.
"The King of Nanchang is consuming our bows and arrows." Zuo Fei stretched out one hand, and what he held in it was the arrow shot by the soldiers of Wuzhou.
Seeing that the arrow was obviously blunt, Ye Wanwan frowned fiercely: "We can't continue to be passive like this, otherwise we won't be able to last three days at all."
"We can't get out." Zhang Wanyu shook her head, and Ye Wanwan's idea was directly rejected by her.
"Yes, those cavalry outside are waiting for us." Although Zuo Fei is not a very good general, he is definitely qualified.
The few traps laid by the Wuzhou Army outside could not escape his eyes.
"How about we go around the back of the mountain to assassinate the King of Nanchang." He Qing'er suddenly said, she was already a little stubborn, and she took the opportunity to talk about assassinating the King of Nanchang.
"We don't know where he is, and maybe no one even knows where he is, unless we have internal agents." Ye Wanwan turned to look at Zhang Wanyu, and Zhang Wanyu looked at Zuo Fei.
Zuo Fei thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Hey! The trebuchet has stopped." Zuo Fei suddenly realized that the trebuchet above his head that had been constantly throwing stones stopped completely.
"Any tool needs maintenance. If you continue to use it endlessly, even iron-made things will break." Ye Wanwan stood up directly and looked to the opposite side.
At this time, they saw the Wuzhou soldiers on the opposite side retreating quickly, even behind the catapult.
Several craftsmen were quickly repairing the catapult, which looked very busy from a distance.
"No, something is wrong!" When Zhang Wanyu saw this scene, her face suddenly lost any joy. Instead, for a moment, she felt chills running down her spine.
She had the feeling that she was being calculated step by step.
She didn't know why, but she couldn't figure out how she was being plotted against.
"That's not right. At this time, they should also remove the catapult instead of repairing it in the most conspicuous position, as if they are afraid that we will not know about it." Zuo Fei's face was very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said
: "They are telling us that today's battle is not over yet and they will attack throughout the night."
"No, with the character of King Nanchang, if he wants to plot something, he will never be exposed easily and be discovered by others... Maybe he has no intention of attacking us tonight, he is just trying to exhaust his troops. Don't forget
The black pawn's strength has not recovered yet." Zhang Wanyu was keenly aware of something.
Li Xuan, who watched all this through Ye Wanwan's eyes, straightened up immediately.
Did he do it too obviously?
No, this was originally a conspiracy.
At this time, Ye Wanwan spoke: "Perhaps, he is doing it at the same time. On the one hand, he is trying to exhaust his troops, and on the other hand, he is preparing to sneak attack on us at any time, such as at midnight, or at the dark hour when day and night alternate.
Or even though when..."
"Stop talking!" He Qing'er suddenly interrupted Ye Wanwan, stared at her and said, "He can't do much, and he doesn't have many people."
"Yes, he doesn't have many men, but don't forget, he has cavalry." Zuo Fei shook his head.
The biggest advantage Li Xuan has over the Tianyin Sect is the cavalry.
If the Kuaiji soldiers can only be regarded as infantry on horseback, but the Qianniu Guards cavalry, they are definitely killing people.
"We have to find a way to destroy their cavalry."
