Chapter 429 The advantage is mine, the disaster is coming

Under the huge shadow, the rolling stone hit the ground heavily with a "bang" sound.

The Tianyin cultists, who had been prepared for a long time, hid quickly, and Fei Luo's rolling stone did not hit any of them at all.

But immediately after, the rock quickly rolled down the mountain.

The people behind were so frightened that they quickly ran away, but there was nowhere to hide.

With a "click", the two little feet were completely crushed.

"Ah!" The tragic wailing suddenly sounded, but the next moment, the sound had completely stopped.

People have been crushed to death by rolling stones.

As soon as the speed of the rolling stone slowed down, many sword and shield wielders who saw this scene quickly evaded, and a straight passage was opened.

The rock rolled down quickly without hurting anyone.

But at this moment, the entire mountain road was already covered in blood.

The rolling stones above our heads continued to fall.

Those who were lucky would have their heads smashed, while those who were unlucky would have a broken leg and keep wailing.

The kinder companions around him cut his throat with a knife, while the crueler ones left him alone and let him wail miserably.

Once the rolling stone hits a person, his speed will be immediately slowed down.

It will be much easier to avoid it later.

Rolling rocks and hitting people may seem fierce, but the actual damage is limited and more of a devastation of people's hearts.

Teams of sword and shield players did not dare to play any snake-like moves at this time, and rushed forward quickly.

As long as they get past the catapult's catapult range, they don't have to worry about being hit again.

Upstairs at the city gate, Li Xuan looked at this scene with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Send the order, turn two to the left."

"Send the order, turn two to the right."

The sound spread immediately, followed by a slight pause, and the two catapults slightly changed the direction of the catapults.

The rolling stones on both sides changed the direction of throwing the stones at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the two rolling stones were already spinning rapidly in mid-air.

With a "bang" sound, a rolling stone hit a person's head, and blood splattered everywhere.

Another rolling stone directly hit the rock wall on one side, throwing out countless gravel, but the entire rolling stone bounced back to the left.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the rolling stone had already smashed one of his legs, and then rolled diagonally toward the other side of the mountain road.

Immediately there was a rush of people on the mountain road.

…

"Send the order and let them adjust the direction of attack at any time without having to follow certain rules!" Li Xuan's order was quickly conveyed.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's eyes had fallen on the sword and shield wielder who was rushing forward, and two rows of ladders were quickly moving towards the door.

"Wood." As soon as Li Xuan's voice fell, three huge wooden sticks were thrown directly from the city gate tower.

Several people were immediately hit with broken bones and tendons.

The wails had just started, and sharp long arrows had already penetrated their throats.

As she watched the huge tree rolling towards the other end, Li Xuan had a cold look on her face.

The mountain road as a whole is high in the north and low in the south, especially within the two miles of the city gate. People have deliberately used methods to allow attacks on the city gate to kill the enemy to the greatest extent. Wuzhou has a great advantage.

.

Seeing what was happening in front of her, Zhang Wanyu's face became even more ugly.

In her mind, she came up with four or five ways to deal with it in an instant, but these ways were always completely rejected by herself just before she came to her lips.

At this moment, a "swish, swish" sound came, and a handful of crossbow arrows were shot down from the city wall.

Then, another wave of wood was thrown down, and then another wave of crossbow arrows.

After several attempts, a pile of corpses were already lying under the city wall, with blood flowing like a river.

A ladder was finally set up on the city wall, and immediately after, two push hooks pushed the ladder into the air.

The long bows from behind immediately shot wildly at the gray-clothed soldiers on the ladder. It wasn't until everyone was killed that they knocked down the ladder.

Seeing that it was difficult to gain much advantage under the city wall, Zhang Wanyu looked at Xu Xi on one side and ordered: "Retreat!"

At this time, Xu Xi finally couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved the order to retreat.

However, at this time, the trees and catapults above were still chasing after them.

It wasn't until there was only a pile of corpses left on the ground that they slowly stopped attacking.

Looking at the two catapults on the city gate tower, Zhang Wanyu seemed to have thought of something at this time, and her face suddenly relaxed.

Soon, the Tianyin cultists below the city gate had disappeared without a trace.

…

"Be careful, there will be another wave of temptations in the future. There will probably be a night attack tonight, and by tomorrow morning, a large-scale offensive will come." Li Xuan stood on the city gate tower, facing

Everyone warned them carefully.

"I understand!" Yan Tao and others immediately raised their hands and looked solemn.

Although what Li Xuan said sounds quite speculative, it is actually quite consistent with the art of war.

Seeing that they listened to his words, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and turned around to start repairing the wounded soldiers.

He himself is a good doctor, and with his status, it is more reassuring to take action personally.

Wang Qin walked quickly back and forth among the crowd. Everywhere he went, the soldiers nearby cheered loudly.

Although there were only a few hundred people on this trip, each of these people on their city walls had several military exploits.

Looking at the soldiers under the city wall who were being renovated, they all felt itchy.

In order to prepare for a possible night attack tonight, after noon, the soldiers who had been standing on the city wall all morning were immediately removed to rest.

Li Xuan stood in the shadow of the city gate tower, looking at the gray-clothed soldiers shaking in the distance, the solemnity in his eyes not diminishing at all.

"Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhenmu stood behind Li Xuan, looking at the Tianyin soldiers in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "They should attack again at dusk. Is your judgment correct?"

"The time, place, and people are favorable. The weather is hot and the soldiers cannot fight for a long time. This is something that no one can change. However, although it is at dusk, dusk also has morning and evening. Brother Qiu should be cautious." Li Xuan looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu.

, said: "In the past few days, the brothers of Qian Niuwei have not been allowed to fight. Don't the brothers have any resentment?"

"How could it be?" Qiu Zhenmu quickly raised his hands and said: "Brothers are too late to be grateful to the prince, how can they have resentment... Although the prince has not yet asked the brothers to fight, the brothers all know that the prince is against the brothers.

Later, it was of great use, so I put my worries aside for the time being."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "When it's time to rest, take a good rest. When it's time to go to war, you must be able to fight immediately. By the way, let the brothers take good care of the horses these days."

"Horse?" Qiu Zhenmu was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "I have an order!"

Qiu Zhenmu was a little confused. Although war horses were very useful, they were mostly useful for cavalry.

The mountain road in front of Meiling Pass is narrow and not suitable for cavalry charge operations.

They had ridden out of Meiling Pass before, but mostly as mounted infantry, and when they returned, the horses were even more tired.

Cavalry fighting, could it be...

Qiu Zhenmu seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said: "Don't think too much, just wait patiently."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and began to arrange for his Qianniu Guards to start taking good care of the horses.

Although Qianniuwei, as a cavalryman, has always taken good care of his horses, there have been few opportunities for the cavalry to fight again recently, so they have been slow to do so. But now, the opportunity is coming soon.

If at this time, there is something wrong with the war horse and they are unable to catch up with the subsequent battle, they will cry without even crying.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the sky to the west. She didn't know why, but it seemed to be particularly hot today.

…

At dusk, there began to be movements under the city.

Zhang Wanyu stood in front of hundreds of gray soldiers. She raised her head and stared at Li Xuan on the city gate.

At this time, two huge well rails were pushed up on both sides of hundreds of gray soldiers. Not only that, but two trebuchets were also placed under the well rails.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the well trap and trebuchet were slowly pushed forward and began to gradually approach the city wall.

The gray pawns on both sides carefully hid under the wells and trebuchets, and moved forward steadily.

"There's something wrong. This doesn't look like their style. When did the people of the Tianyin Sect become so steady?" Yan Tao looked at everything on the mountain path in surprise, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
