my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng nodded, looked at Niu Dali and asked, "The soldiers are all ready."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but there is no news from General Li yet."

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "I have made an agreement with Li Bao beforehand, he will make preparations before Maozheng, you don't need to wait for him here, if you are ready, just start attacking the city, he will wait for the opportunity, so The harder you fight here, the more you can attract the attention of the defenders, and the higher the success rate of his sneak attack will be."

Niu vigorously clasped his fists and said, "I understand. At this moment, there is still a moment before Maozheng. Please ask Your Majesty if you can start attacking."

Zhao Junsheng said, "Since your side is ready, let's start to act."

"Yes"

At this time, the moonlight quietly hid in the clouds, and the last light in the dark night disappeared.

3000 troops quietly came out of the camp and approached Huya Pass. It didn't take long for the army to stop one mile outside the pass.

Niu Dali ordered the First Thousand Commander to "send someone to put out the fire under the Guancheng first."

"Understood," the first thousand commander agreed with clasped fists, turned around and waved his hands, some soldiers carried shields and water bags and touched towards the city wall.

Near the city wall, the dry army soldiers covered their heads and upper bodies with shields, and slowly approached the fire with a water bag that had been unscrewed in one hand.

At this time, the sentinels at the top of the city had just finished changing their guards, and the new sentries had slept most of the night. At this time, they were in good spirits. When they looked at the city, two sentries spotted the soldiers who were slowly approaching the city wall. Quickly opened his mouth and shouted "enemy attack, enemy attack"

With this roar, the sleeping defenders on the entire city wall woke up. General Xu Xiaojie immediately went to the side of the female wall and looked down. Indeed, many soldiers were slowly approaching the city wall with their shields on their shoulders.

Xu Xiaojie immediately yelled, "Everyone is in position immediately, prepare to defend and defend against the enemy's archers!"

After being discovered, the soldiers under the city stopped advancing instinctively and squatted down when they heard the shouts from the top of the city. They used their shields to try to block as many body parts as possible to prevent being shot by arrows that might shoot down from the city wall.

The generals in the ranks of the dry army shouted "keep going"

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the Qian army immediately walked in a squatting posture, with their shields always blocking the top of their heads and in front of their bodies.

Xu Xiaojie, the guard on the top of the city, immediately yelled "shoot the arrow"

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The archers of the defenders on the top of the city fired arrows one after another, and shot at the generals of the army below the city.

Almost all the arrows shot by "Ding Ding Ding" were blocked by dry army shields. From this, it can be seen that these dry army infantry have high combat quality, and their tactical actions are very standard and in place. During the process, I used a shield to protect most of my body parts, and the chance of being shot and injured was very small.

If you were a soldier of the Song Army, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do this. This is the difference between high and low combat literacy.

These dry soldiers approached the fires with their shields and quickly poured the water in the water bag onto the fires. Qingyan was angry.

The dry army soldiers who poured out the water quickly retreated with their shields on their backs, giving way to other dry army soldiers. As more and more dry army soldiers approached, the fires were extinguished one by one by the water.

Soon, all the fires under the city were completely extinguished, and it was pitch black, and the figures of the soldiers of the Qian army were also hidden in the darkness.

Guard General Xu Xiaojie now understood the purpose of these dry troops approaching the city wall, which was to extinguish the fire, and then use the night to approach the city wall for a sneak attack. He immediately ordered, "Come on, pass the order down. Everyone is divided into two teams, and one team is on guard at the post." , ready to defend against the enemy at any time, and the other squad rests on the spot, and once the enemy strikes, immediately join the battle."

The dry army didn't keep the defenders waiting for a long time. After only a moment or so, Niu Dali gave the order to attack. The 1000th team slowly approached the city wall with a simple siege ladder. They were not in a hurry, and their steps were as light as possible , not to be heard by the enemy.

Everyone slowed down their breathing and crept to the bottom of the city wall. The soldiers quietly set up simple siege ladders on the city wall. Each soldier held a small round shield in one hand, with a sword in his mouth, and climbed up the ladder with one hand and two feet.

On the top of the city, Xu Xiaojie stood on the edge of the female wall and looked out of the city, but he couldn't see anything clearly. He felt very uneasy, and after thinking about it, he told a team officer beside him, "Throw a torch down and have a look."

The team officer nodded, took a torch from a soldier next to him, and threw it out of the city. The torch was thrown more than 40 steps, rolling in the air, and the fire illuminated the ground below. A large number of soldiers and soldiers under the city are quietly approaching.

Xu Xiaojie also saw that many ladders had already been set up on the city wall, and on each ladder there were soldiers quietly climbing up. His face changed drastically, and he yelled "defense, shoot arrows!"

"whoosh whoosh"

The sound of arrows hitting the shield above Gan Jun's head was endless.

"I've been discovered, soldiers, kill me!" the captain who led the team roared.

Under the city wall, the generals and soldiers shouted "Kill, kill!"

Gan Jun's roar was like a rainbow, and this momentum immediately frightened the minds of the defenders. Many people turned pale with shock, and retreated one after another, feeling timid.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaojie immediately encouraged loudly, "Brothers, don't be afraid, we have the advantage of the city wall, everyone guards their positions for me, and the army will not be able to rush up"

The torch fell to the ground and was stamped out, and it became pitch black again under the city wall.

The defenders' archers were still firing arrows, but most of the arrows hit the shield, which could be heard from the sound coming back.

A team officer said loudly to Xu Xiaojie, "General, this is not going to work. We can't see anything, but they can see us and they all have shields. They are well guarded. The arrows are all shot on the shields, so there is no effect." What does it do"

Xu Xiaojie frowned, at this moment a helmet appeared from the opposite wall, followed by a murderous face, he immediately slashed at him with a knife, but the other party even blocked it with a knife, but failed to block it, and was caught by Xu Xiaojie's He slammed so hard that he fell down and hit the ground shield, making a lot of noise.

Then there were non-stop soldiers climbing up from the ladder, the defenders began to defend one after another, and the battle began.

The shouts of killing continued to spread, some people were stabbed to death, some people were shot to death.

Xu Xiaojie's preparations were not very sufficient. There was no boiling water or oil on the city wall, only some thunder, rocks and logs. After he hacked to death two dry soldiers who ran up one after another, he felt that the combat effectiveness of these dry troops was very unusual. If so If we continue, I'm afraid there will be a large number of dry soldiers rushing up soon.

He immediately ordered, "Let the reserve team bring up the kerosene to heat it up. Listen to all the archers, put down their bows and arrows and bring stones to hit me. As long as someone shows up, hit me. Kill these damned generals."

"Yes"

In the current environment, stones are much more lethal and threatening than bows and arrows. Almost all soldiers are wearing shields. The chances of bows and arrows hitting the enemy are very small, but stones are different. The position is smashed down, one hit is accurate

Xu Xiaojie's strategy quickly paid off. The archers put down their bows and arrows, picked up stones, went to the female wall and smashed down along the ladder.

"Bangbangbang" kept hitting the shield with stones. The weight of the stone was so heavy that even if the soldiers used their shields to block the top of their heads, they would not necessarily be able to block it. One by one could not bear the gravity of the stones and fell down the ladder one after another. The dry army soldiers were knocked down.

Outside the city, Zhao Junsheng saw the defenders on the top of the city throwing stones, and said to Niu Dali, "It is still very useful to defend with stones at this time."

Niu Dali had to admit that stones are more powerful than bows and arrows. He thought for a while and ordered the messengers to "order the archers to approach the city wall, and provide long-distance support for the brothers who are besieging the city, and let them play freely."

Niu Dali's meaning is very clear. At this time, there is no need for heavy arrow rain strikes in a large area. It is more effective to use precise shooting. Only one defender can stand on a crenel. As long as the timing is good, the hit rate is still very high. , the density of the defenders on the top of the city is not high, and the dense arrow rain volley is not only useless, but it is obviously sending arrows to the defenders for nothing.

After the archers approached the city wall, they stopped not far away and began to shoot arrows freely. When they saw the sound of defenders on a certain crenel, they shot an arrow over.

The effect of this long-range support is obvious. The loss of the defenders keeps rising, and they are shot down one by one. This makes other defenders have to quickly dodge to the side wall after smashing the stones. May be shot.

"What the hell, why are these damn army archers aiming so high? The oil is hot. There are no archers. Don't hit rocks. Move the log and hit me, hurry up."

The defenders immediately changed to carrying the rolling logs. Two people carried a three-foot-long rolling log to the crenel and threw it down. The rolling log rolled down the ladder, and the soldiers on the ladder were smashed down one after another. It kept coming.

After smashing a round of logs, the soldiers who burned the oil finally shouted, "General, the oil is hot!"

Xu Xiaojie immediately yelled, "Quickly pour hot oil on me with a ladle, scald these damned people to death"

Soon, ladles of hot oil were scooped up by the defenders and poured down the city.

"Ah!" All the soldiers were scalded and screamed.

Drenched with some hot oil, Xu Xiaojie immediately grabbed a torch and threw it down the wall. The torch landed on a log drenched in kerosene and burned straight up, quickly illuminating the surroundings, the positions of the nearby dry army archers also exposed.
