Chapter three hundred and seventy-fifth
"attack!"
The road was already completed, and the Qingyang Empire did not hesitate anymore. The sword and shield troops who had already set up their formations were marching wildly towards Xilong City.
Under Zheng Yuanyun's deliberate command, the huge rock thrown by the catapult troops spread out flat, and tried to open up the road for his troops, so that although the gravel road was only one, once it was spread out, the soldiers who charged still looked majestic.
"Blow me hard!"
Ning Zheng was angry and raised his right hand, and his high right hand stroked heavily!
Qingyang's army had already entered the attack range of Xilong City. After holding it in for a long time, he would not be polite. He immediately issued a fierce order.
boom--!
This time it was Xilong's turn to roar, and the catapult with huge rocks filled on the city tower showed its hideous claws. Each claw popped up and a meteor fell from the sky!
Because the enemy was on the river surface, Ning Zhenggang did not cause him to burn tincture oil on the casting stones. After all, when the casting stones fell on the river surface and were soaked in water, the effect would not be too great.
It is better to drip the turmeric oil directly along the city wall. If the enemy rushes to the city later, you can also ignite the turmeric oil, turning the entire city wall into a fire wall, which will play a certain defensive role.
But even without the bonus of flames, the number of catapults prepared at the head of Xilong City was huge. Although it was not as good as Zheng Yuanyun's reserves, under a volley, it still made people feel that the sky was dark, but the sun was blocked by the catapults that covered the sky.
boom!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The huge rock fell wildly on the rushing sword and shield troops. Even with shield protection, the vanguard troops were still smashed and turned over. Countless soldiers rolled in the river, which made the Qingyang Empire's rushing momentum slowed down.
However, although this round of volley shots had a significant effect, Ning Zhenggang on the top of the city frowned first.
Yes, the trenchers in Xilong City are also not bad and can play a huge role. The soldiers who fell to the ground and died suddenly under the city are the best proof.
But there is also a problem, that is, the ammunition of the catapult!
The ammunition fired by the catapult was of course a stone throwing, and in order to attack the enemy troops in the river, they naturally had to bombard the catapult into the river.
This indirectly led to the fact that they were also helping Zheng Yuanyun build roads!
As more and more stone-dropping shells were fired, the gravel road that was paved in a hurry on the river would become stronger and would give the Qingyang Empire's army more landing place.
In the end, the catapult here could no longer exert its power, gathering the attack power to a point to maximize the firepower.
The widening of the gravel road will cause the enemy to use more scattered formations to charge towards Xilong City. At this time, the number of enemy troops that are several times higher than that of their own will expand and become an opportunity to win.
What a vicious guy!
Ning Zhenggang clenched his fist and his eyes crossed the moat, as if he had landed directly on the other commander's face.
Zheng Yuanyun!
Ning Zhenggang believes that he can see the key problem. Will Zheng Yuanyun not see it?
No, of course he can see it, and he can see it more clearly than himself.
At the moment when the gravel road was not so wide, he could not wait to order the soldiers to attack. Could it be that he was using such an idea?
Ning Zhenggang is now very convinced that Ouyang Lixing asked him to hold the enemy down not because he was limited to his authority, but because he was indeed a matter.
Seeing Zheng Yuanyun's anxious look, even sacrificing his soldiers at all costs, he also wanted to achieve the goal of quickly siege the city. This shows that he really wanted to take Xilong City faster.
Only by taking over Xilong City can he go further and rush into the wider Nantes province.
Do you use the lives of your subordinates to fill this river?
Ning Zhenggang's eyes were cold, but his heart was filled with coldness.
This cold-blooded guy is willing to use his soldiers as a stepping stone. He can achieve this level. It is conceivable that when Xilong City was broken, in order to vent his resentment, he even told his soldiers what Zheng Yuanyun would do.
Massacre of the city!
Blood debt can only be paid in blood.
Whether it is really about avenging the soldiers under his command or just to do superficial work and give his subordinates an explanation, the decision Zheng Yuanyun would make afterwards must be a massacre of the city!
In this way, the city cannot be broken!
Ning Zhenggang's eyes flashed sharply, and huge pressure pressed against his shoulders like a mountain.
To put it in a big way, it is for the Nantes province, for the Zhuyan Empire, to put it in a small way, but it is for the lives of his own lives and even the lives of the soldiers and people in Xilong City. In any case, Xilong City cannot be lost!
As soon as he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Stop the attack of throwing stones, change the bow and arrow to kill the enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals next to them were surprised.
Abandon throwing stones and changing to bows and arrows?
The enemy troops under the city are mainly swords and shields!
That dark crowd, and each of them had a heavy shield with extremely strong protection, and they used a bow and arrow to fight...
Can you beat it?
The generals seemed to have seen the scene of dense rain of arrows shooting onto their shields, as well as countless broken arrows.
Hundreds of thousands of swords and shields are used as strikers, and the archers do not have much room to play in front of such formations. If we want to say that the attack of the catapult is the most effective.
It is better not to fight with archers.
Ning Zhenggang ignored the surprised expressions of these people. He saw that everyone was not moving, and then glared angrily: "Why, what I said doesn't work?"
"This...this isn't..."
The generals hesitated and did not dare to violate Ning Zhenggang's orders, so they had to continue their orders.
Soon, the Qingyang army in the river regrouped. As Ning Zhenggang expected, their formation found more footholds after that round of scattering. At the same time, there were a lot more soldiers pounced on Xilong City.
The rain of arrows is like locusts!
No matter how the generals thought, Ning Zhenggang's order was implemented immediately. The soldiers who threw stones and replaced the bows and arrows gathered their strength to shoot wildly. The dense rain of arrows made people's scalp numb, and the momentum of covering the sky and the sun was even more serious than the attack of throwing stones.
However, not many people expressed expectations for this.
I heard someone in the river shouting suddenly: "Rise the shield!"
Boom!
The sword and shield hands in the rapid charge stopped in an instant. Just as the rain of arrows was about to come, tens of thousands of sword and shield hands in the front paused the heavy shield in their hands!
The shield array has been trained well in the chest. In this pause, the layers of heavy shields suddenly formed into one, from a distance, like a huge turtle shell.
The rain of arrows poured down, immediately sparking endless sparks, which seemed to be infinite, but the damage caused by the real reason...
Looking from the top of the city, there were probably only a few hundred sword shield hands and unfortunately were hit by a wandering arrow and fell to the ground, which was simply negligible.
