Chapter 171 Eight Bull Crossbow Achievements

On the fourth day, when night was approaching, with Li Jinbao's advancement regardless of losses, the Oroqen army finally arrived at the Lingshouguan City. Looking at the towering Guan City in front of him, Li Jinbao's face turned pale and his heart kept twitching. In order to get here, he lost more than 50,000 war horses, and even his Oroqen soldiers lost nearly 4,000 people.

After looking at the sky, he knew that it was impossible to siege the city today, Li Jinbao ordered camp five miles outside the city. Soon the soldiers set up camp in the canyon, and all kinds of felt tents filled the canyon.

Speaking of which, these tribal troops of the Liao Kingdom were actually herdsmen. They had not received any special training in the army, were casual and had no discipline, but their combat power should not be underestimated. After all, they grew up on horseback, and the technique of riding and shooting was a special skill...

…………

Lingshou Pass, above the city tower.

Zha, Zha, Zha, Meng Tian and the other two saw the brightly lit Liao army camp outside the city, and after a while, Li Bao turned to Meng Tian and said:

"Grandmaster, should you wait late at night? The last general leads his army to give them a moment!"

Meng Tian shook his head when he heard this and said negatively:

"There is no need for that. The Liao army is too close to us. Whenever there is a storm, it will alarm the snake. And even if it can go out of the city, there will be no results in the night attack. Look..." As he said that, he pointed to the Liao army's camp and said:

"The Liao army commander divided the camp into two parts, and set up a forward camp at the front, and its main army camped two miles away from the front. Therefore, even if we attacked the camp secretly, we were just attacking their forwards, and we might be entangled by them, so that the main force of the Liao army had an opportunity to take advantage of it and make dumplings for our troops leaving the city."

After listening to Meng Tian’s analysis, Li Kaigu said in surprise:

"This Liao army commander is still a war-capable leader?"

Meng Tian couldn't help but give Li Kaigu a blank look and said angrily:

"Do you think the generals of the Liao army are all fools with simple minds and well-developed limbs? If that were the case, the Liao Kingdom would have been destroyed for many times!"

Li Kaigu felt embarrassed when he heard this, he slutted his head and smiled embarrassedly, but did not dare to say anything.

"Okay, you all go down and rest, and keep your energy up. It's not easy to endure tomorrow-" Meng Tian sighed.

"No!" Li Bao and the other two also changed their expressions and began to amaze, clasped their fists and agreed loudly, and then walked down the city tower.

When Li Bao and the others walked away, Meng Tian sighed again, with a solemn expression. Judging from the Liao army's rushing forward to Lingshou Pass regardless of casualties, the Liao army commander was also a firm-minded and vicious person, and must not be underestimated.

However, he is still confident in defending Lingshou. After all, the Liao Kingdom is a nomadic nation and is good at riding and shooting. If it is a head-on battle, with the 30,000 elite troops in his hands, it is really a bit weak to face the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.

But the siege battle is different. This is not the strength of the Liao army. He may not be able to do anything to fight. The only thing he is worried about now is that the subsequent main army of the Liao army will follow up and fight with him. In this way, he really can't afford to consume it.

On the fifth day, just as the sky was dawn, the sound of horns outside the pass was loud. Meng Tian, ​​who had not been asleep for a night, suddenly stood up, strode to the battlements, and looked down at the city, and saw that the Liao army had already begun to set up a formation in front of the pass.

"Grandmaster, these Liao troops are really active, and they disturb people's dreams early in the morning." Li Kaigu, who heard the sound of the horn, muttered to Meng Tian.

"It seems that the Lord of Liao was scared to death by this group of Liao army, otherwise they would not be so anxious to attack the city." Meng Tian said thoughtfully.

"Grandmaster, the bed crossbows have been set up, a total of 300. Finally, they have been divided into three teams to shoot in turn to ensure that the arrows are endless. Alas! It's just a pity that we have fewer crossbows, only 30,000!" At this time, Li Bao also came over and clasped his fists and said, and finally sighed with a pity.

Meng Tian stood up straight and looked left and right. He saw a huge serial crossbow every meter on the city tower. At this time, the latest standard weapon of the Great Zhou could fire ten iron armor-piercing arrows at one time, which was 500 steps and about 800 meters. The arrows were extremely sharp and could shoot through a tree held by one person within 300 steps. It was specially developed by the Great Zhou to deal with the giant orcs of the Yaoyue Dynasty. However, it was unexpectedly used on the human race itself.

At this time, the horn sounded loudly under the city, and the Liao army rushed down the city like flowing water. The Liao army in the front row resisted a hundred simple ladders.

The Liao army, who rushed to the city first, quickly put a ladder on the city wall, but the Zhou army was still watching coldly last year, without any action at all. It was just like watching a show. Those who didn't know thought they were scared.

When the Liao army rushed to climb the cloud ladder, Li Bao waved his hand and the Longxiang Guard soldiers who had not taken action quickly moved the battlements to the bed and crossbow, aiming the crossbow arrows at the cloud ladder under the city to the Liao army.

"First team, shoot!" Li Bao ordered.

"Bang bang bang--" The huge bowstring sounded in vain, and the crossbow arrows roared down like lightning, piercing the Liao army scrambling upwards on the ladder below, like a candied haws. The Liao army on the ladder fell heavily to the ground like dumplings. However, in an instant, countless Liao army lay on the ground, causing the attack of the Liao army behind to stagnate.

Without waiting for the Liao army to react, Li Bao waved his hand and shouted:

"Second Team, shoot!"

The second team of crossbow soldiers who had been on standby for a long time immediately turned the crossbow to the Liao army below. With a crossbow, a cloud-like crossbow arrow poured down from the city in an instant, shooting countless Liao army under the city, and even using a large skinned shield to defend, it was useless. The crossbow arrows shot through the shield instantly shot through the shield and nailed to the Liao army behind the shield. A scream came out for a moment. However, in a short while, one of the ten thousand cavalry sieges was half reimbursed, which scared the Liao army that siege the city to stop.

Fantasy Novel Network Fantasy Novels Network. Li Jinbao, who was supervising the formation behind, looked at the Liao army that fell to the ground under Guancheng, and his face turned pale. At this time, Badu came hurriedly and clasped his fists and said:

"Grandmaster, the Zhou people's crossbow arrows are really amazing. The volley shot just now reimbursed nearly 3,000 of us. What's even more terrifying is that the Zhou people's crossbow arrows could not even defend against the wall shields, which scared the slaves to come forward."

Li Jinbao's face was solemn, and he pondered for a moment before saying unsuccessfully:

"The attack cannot be stopped. The Khan just now sent a death order. Lingshou Pass must be taken down within seven days, otherwise we will have to land.

Now you will immediately transfer the ten thousand cavalry of the Naiyan tribe to me. Our Oroqen tribe has just taken the lead, and it is their turn to go. When the Naiyan tribe is exhausted, let the Zhulu tribe top. There is only one, and the attack cannot be stopped!" After that, he looked at Badu viciously and said:

"If you pass the order, if you dare to hear that the order is not in the forward position, you will be executed immediately!"

"No!" Badu hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went to pass the order.

After Badu left, Li Jinbao turned his head and ordered a man with a full armored man following behind him:

"Balkans, go to the back camp immediately, tell Yelu Xin and the other three, and ask them to send reinforcements immediately.

If you tell them directly, just tell me what I said. If they dare not send reinforcements and want the fisherman to benefit, don’t blame me for turning against others. I will directly withdraw my troops. Do you understand when they see how they explain in front of the Khan?”

"Don't worry, the general will understand!" The Balkan quickly agreed.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-

The sound of siege of the city sounded again, and another ten thousand cavalry of the Liao army walked out of their own formation and rushed towards Lingshou Pass...
