The Wu Yue soldiers under Runzhou City began to divide their troops. Ding Deyu and Chen Chengli each led 20,000 troops, and under their command, the commander of the Du Yu Hou, more than 20 subordinate generals and military officers, etc.

Ding Deyu brought some of his men to the East City Gate and prepared to attack.

After seeing this situation, the defending generals on the top of the city also discussed it.

Lu Jiang said: "The Wu and Yue army obviously have to divide their troops to attack at two city gates to restrain our army's attention. Once one city gate is broken, it will have a fatal impact on our army's defense. Therefore, our army must also divide its troops to resist it."

Su Chen said from the side: "I also need to train independently, so I might as well lead some of my troops and command at the East City Gate. General Lu is here to take charge of the attacks on both sides at the same time.

Lu Jiang nodded after hearing this and said, "It's good that this is the case. Su Jianjun can also display his talents. Generals, you can choose it yourself."

Su Chen nodded and glanced at the people who were recommended to join the army by him, including Liu Yan, Ma Chengxin, Ma Chengjun and others, and said, "I want these people, Liu Du Commander, Ma Chengxin, Ma Chengjun and Yuhou, etc., plus my personal guard general, this is enough.

Lu Jiang said: "There are three thousand defenders on the east city gate. You are counting ten thousand troops to go there, which is enough to defend the city today."

"I understand." Su Chen nodded, he was still clear about this.

After all, on the city wall and in the city gate, there are only limited personnel who can stand, and it will be over to accommodate up to two or three thousand people. The rest of the people are just waiting in the city wall, waiting in line, substitutes and standby, and taking turns to fight at any time, to prevent the city gate from being knocked open, so a team of people will be placed at the city gate for prevention and control.

The most exciting ones were Peng Jingjing, Han Yunpeng and others, because they mainly followed Su Chen, and they had to behave and restrained here. After all, the main general was Lu Jiang, and other commanders and generals of Du Yuhou.

Peng Jingjing and others are not at a high level here, so it is not convenient to talk much.

But if you follow Su Chen to Dongcheng Gate, it will become their home court and will be more free.

Even Peng Jingjing was thinking that she could lead troops to fight.

Su Chen was neat in his work. After saying goodbye to Lu Jiang, he went down the city tower and sent someone to the military camp to count 10,000 people and horses to prepare for war. He took Peng Jingjing, Jing Hong, Ma Chengjun and others to defend the East City Gate.

.........

"Dongdongdong!Dongdongdong!"

The war drums sounded like spring thunder outside the empty city, and the entire mountain seemed to be awakened by the dull and huge drum sound.

Then the sound of war horses neighing, the clanging armor, the thick and heavy footsteps came one after another, and the sockets were clattering, and the 20,000 infantry and cavalry moved and approached the city gate.

The sound of horns, horse hooves, footsteps, the sound of soldiers and armor rubbing, and the sound of swords and spears colliding, the sound of the sound of great momentum.

Su Chen and others stood on the east city gate and looked around and saw that there was a huge crowd of people outside the city.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses were all bright in armor, spears, swords and halberds, and the cold light was shining, and the momentum was fierce.

Ding Deyu did not sit on the horse's back, but asked someone to prepare a high chair and a large umbrella and sat on the high chair himself. This was not tiring. He stared at the Runzhou city wall in front of him, nodded slightly, and said, "Prepare to attack!"

"Abide by the order!"

Several Du Yuhou, who were responsible for siege, took their own positions and led different square formations, including spear formations, shield players, archers, etc., and ordered an attack at the same time.

"Woo...Dongdongdong..."

The heavy trombone and shocking drumbeat sounded at this moment. For a moment, the drummers, horn hands and flag bearers in the Wuyue army were all moved, and the orders were unified and the signal of attack was sent.

"Kill--"

The Wu Yue soldiers began to move, rushing forward like a tide.

.........

On the top of the city.

Seeing thousands of troops rushing towards him, Su Chen tried to calm down. He also imitated Lu Jiang's tone yesterday and said, "Arrowman, prepare for positioning the arrow."

"Swish!"

The archer stood in the front row, pulled the bowstrings, just waiting for the commander to issue military orders.

"put!"

"Rest--"

The bowstring sounded, and hundreds of feather arrows with red cloth strips were shot out suddenly, passing through the air and landing at 120 steps, and rigging a row of arrows in one row. This is the positioning arrows, as the name suggests, it is to determine the place of an arrow. The army of both sides rushed and entered this range, which was when the archers shot.

The ordinary bows and arrows used in ancient times used for war generally ranged from 100 to 150 steps, and the bow body was about two meters long. They were made of purple shirt wood or cenge wood, which was relatively cheap. When shooting arrows, they did not shoot at people, but shot in the sky, and fell naturally when the arrows lost. Because there were shield protection on the front, the rain of arrows falling from the sky was not easy to avoid, and the sliding down increased the degree and the strength was constant.

For ordinary archers like this, basically each person has a archer, and each pot contains twelve arrow feathers. After three or four rounds of battle, the opponent's chariots and cavalry have already rushed to the front, and there will basically be no missing arrows.

Ordinary bows and arrows can still wear ragged armor after shooting more than one or two hundred meters, which is already very powerful. On ordinary longbows, there are composite bows, which are made of various materials, the core is still cephala wood, and they are also horny. The outside is tied with harder wood pieces such as saw wood, bonded with the inner layer of thorns, and the outer layer is glued with beef tendon. The process is complicated and the cost is high. Therefore, informal elite troops rarely have composite bows, and the range can reach 200 steps, which is amazing.

The soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty invested too little in national defense in recent years, so they did not replace their weapons enough. There were no expensive composite bows, only ordinary longbows.

"Running--"

Countless Wu and Yue soldiers roared wildly, waved long spears in their hands, erected spears, and shined with cold light, charging forward bravely.

In an instant, people could feel a strong masculine storm, rising from the battlefield, sweeping across the entire radius of hundreds of miles, the sky and the earth changed color, and an invisible killing aura spread out.

When the Wu Yue soldiers entered the range of positioning arrows, they began to shoot arrows on the top of the city wall.

Suddenly, the sound of the bowstring breaking through the air sounded, and the dense rain of arrows rushed out like a locust.

The Wu Yue soldiers who were charging at the city were facing the first round of arrow rain. They shouted that the horses were neighing. Soldiers and people carrying the ladder were shot and fell to the ground with blood spraying.

Du Yuhou, a Wu Yue soldier, ran wildly and commanded his troops to rush forward. His hand swung like a whirlwind, ripping down the sharp arrows one by one, which was very brave and encouraging morale.

"Cheep again!" Su Chen calmly ordered.

The second round of arrows roared away from the strings again, and poured out violently from the Tang army's archers. The sky was covered with dense rain of arrows, filling the sky.

"Shit" -"

The arrows were shot down quickly, wearing clothes and broken armor. Many Wu Yue soldiers were turned into hedgehogs, with blood splashing, some shot the center of the hole, some shot the neck, abdomen, arms, and blood splashing.

"Puff!"

"Ah, my eyes!"

Someone screamed and fell to the ground. The corpse of a partner was ruthlessly trampled, and some people kept falling down, becoming a trampled dead body, and suddenly a strong smell of blood rose.
