"Fire the arrow, don't be stunned, fire the arrow!"

Li Jianghe, who was furious at the ridiculing expressions of Zhu Yan's cavalrymen, suddenly roared.

Yes, catapults can’t be hit temporarily, but what about bows and arrows?

Bows and arrows don't have the same distance problem as catapults.

Just now...why didn't I think of that?

He wanted to pat his head, but he didn't want to give the other person another chance to laugh at him, so all that annoyance turned into that roar.

No wonder he didn't realize that, in fact, this was another misdirection.

Ouyang Lixing had been using trebuchets to put pressure on his side, and the shells almost piled up into a city wall. One can imagine the importance of the word trebuchet in Li Jianghe's mind at this moment.

He never expected that Ouyang Lixing would take advantage of this mentality of his, so that the cavalry troops could look up at the meteor shower unscathed.

So is this the strength of a general at the general level?

No!

It should be said that this is the terrifying thing about generals like Ouyang Lixing who are both wise and brave.

General generals at the general level are more successful because of their superior force. They can rely on their strong morale to boost the morale of their own soldiers. When necessary, they can even charge into the battle themselves, just like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's heart.

But when it comes to intelligence, the general-level officer is still better.

But obviously Ouyang Lixing could not just identify him as the commander-in-chief or the general, but like the wise general of the Qingyang Empire, he was a powerful general with both.

And Li Jianghe... is just a governor. He is far behind Ouyang Lixing. It is not surprising that the opponent used psychological tactics during the confrontation.

But he knew that being played by the other party like this still made Li Jianghe feel unhappy.

So, after you react, how are you going to defeat this wave of bow and arrow attacks?

Li Jianghe stared straight ahead. Although his vision was not clear due to too many stone throws, he could still see that the cavalry were still within the range of the archers.

The blockade line was not only prepared with enough stone-throwing artillery shells, almost every area was also equipped with a sufficient number of archer troops. After Li Jianghe gave the order, the archers immediately stepped forward, and while moving, they

He didn't stop, he was already drawing his bow and arrows, and when he reached a suitable attack distance, he could rain down arrows!

The lethality of sporadic bows and arrows is limited. Generally speaking, on the battlefield, archer troops fire arrow rain covering a large area to create a suppressive effect.

And what made Li Jianghe stunned was...

Just when the archers on his side were about to arrive at the attack position, the cavalry did not move. They just took out a shield from behind to protect themselves, looking like they wanted to withstand the rain of arrows.

appearance.

But when the question came up, at the same time, Li Jianghe felt his eyes darken again.

Catapult!

This time it was not a sling shot from behind, because after discovering that the attack distance was insufficient, the catapult troops of the Bailie Empire also hesitated. It was at this moment that they heard Li Jianghe order the archers to attack in order to

The second wave of offensive was not continued.

So the stones were thrown from Juhe City!

Just now, the first stone was thrown that could touch one's own defensive line. According to the soldiers on the watchtower, this was because Iai Castle sent a large number of catapult troops to follow closely behind the cavalry troops, not

It was struck from the head of Iai City.

These guys... move so fast!

"Defend, defend quickly!"

Li Jianghe shouted while feeling shocked.

Has it only been a while?

Their advancing speed is so terrifying, are they risking their lives?

You must know that with this speed of advancement and the landing point of the catapult that Li Jianghe saw when he raised his head, he knew the approximate direction of the opponent's catapult at this moment.

And this position is also the best attack range for your own catapult!

Originally, the catapult troops should not have reached this position, but should have continuously provided fire suppression for the frontline soldiers from the rear.

But Ouyang Lixing seemed to have the intention that even if he sacrificed this group of catapult troops, the attack would fall on himself.

Is this a good deal?

Li Jianghe didn't know clearly. He only knew that although the number of roaring stones was huge and seemed to be very powerful, his defense was also very complete. He almost didn't need to remind him. When he found out that the other party was coming again,

After the stone-throwing offensive, the sword-and-shielders had already used a linking force to raise a large number of their own shields over their heads to block the incoming stone-throwing attacks.

And the distance is still too far. At most, it will hit his front row, but it will not be able to cause damage to a series of vulnerable units such as the archers behind.

It's just that the arrow rain offensive naturally cannot be carried out.

This requires forcing the arrow to be fired. The arrow will hit the whizzing stones while it is in mid-air. The result will only be broken into pieces and no more casualties will be caused.

So Li Jianghe, while avoiding the stone throws under the protection of his men, had no choice but to order the archers to stand by again and let the catapult troops fight back again.

This time, the attack distance can be adjusted to the maximum, so that there is no fear of accidentally injuring one's own front line, and there is an opportunity to cause massive casualties to the opponent's catapult troops who dare to rush close!

But the people in Juihe City were naturally well prepared, and the cavalrymen's action of taking off their shields was just to confuse Li Jianghe again.

Just when the stones from Iai City were being fired into the sky, they seemed to have received some order. They all retracted their shields, then split their arms to the left and right, and started running quickly along the stone wall.

At this time...who would pay attention to them?

Li Jianghe frowned.

It was impossible for these cavalry to break through the defensive line he had set up. Even if they were to charge directly towards him, it would be fine. Now they are starting to disperse, are they preparing to retreat?

But what’s next?

The blockade is a circle around Iai City, just like an iron barrel. There is no way to go around the back. For those who rush out of Iai City, no matter where they attack, they will attack here first.

On top of the defensive front, if there is even the slightest chance of fighting, they will immediately be surrounded by armies on both sides.

This is a chain formation, and there is no way for the opponent's cavalry to use their mobility to get around it.

So just run, where else can you run?

Li Jianghe didn't care at all. After the opponent's wave of stoning was over, he simply climbed up to the watchtower, wanting to see with his own eyes the miserable state of the opponent's catapult troops.
Chapter completed!
