Chapter 182: Changxiang City Battle

Huang Yuchen stood on the hills by the city and had been waiting for a long time.

Behind him, a row of Lihuo arrays emitting fluorescent light were arranged neatly, with the array eyes facing the open space at the back door of the city.

The guards who had just left have also returned. At this moment, the five guards of the rest of their lives stood behind Huang Yuchen, with no expression on their faces.

Two rays of light soared into the sky, turned into white dazzling light, and disappeared again. It has been a while since.

Huang Yuchen was a little impatient and stopped standing, but leaned against the trees beside him and sat down quietly at the city below.

Within the city, the defense has been arranged, and two brigades have boarded the city, and their bows, arrows and crossbows have been prepared for the entire time, just waiting for the enemy to arrive.

There was silence around Huang Yuchen, and only the cicadas around him could be heard.

After a while, a black shadow appeared in the distant mountains and forests. Gradually, the black shadow became closer and closer, gathering on the open space in front of the back gate of Changxiang City, about a mile away from the city, and stopped.

"It's finally here." Seeing this, Huang Yuchen's eyes were shining brightly, and he quickly stood up and looked down at the city.

This dark shadow is the enemy who received the news. They set off immediately and arrived outside Changxiang City, gathered their formation, and blocked the open space and official road outside the back door of Changxiang City.

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen turned his head again and looked at the main gate of Changxiangcheng. At the main gate, he did not find any enemy troops appear. It was still silent and empty.

"If the enemy leader is not a fool, he is still waiting." Huang Yuchen said intimately.

Logically speaking, if the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion are introduced into Changxiang City, the left and right city gates will definitely be surrounded, otherwise they will not have any effect. The cavalry of the Dongwang Mansion can still retreat through the original path. If you think of the effect of complete annihilation, you must block the left and right paths. Now that you have released one place, there will definitely be a fraud.

However, Huang Yuchen didn't have to worry about this. He only had to be responsible for the activation of the Lihuo Formation. The six Lihuo Formations exploded, which was enough for the enemy below to bear. The rest was to wait for the signal of the rest of his life to stimulate the formation.

At this moment, Yu Sheng was standing on the low-high wall of Changxiang City, looking at the enclave soldiers slowly surrounding him in the distance, showing a grim smile.

The enemy army in front of us seemed to have only three or five thousand people, which was far from the ten thousand people who had heard the news. When the troops were at the city, Yu Sheng did not feel anything in his heart.

The enemy's ability to come up with such a strategy must have received the previous battle report. Their side wiped out their infantry formation and knew that their army was a whole cavalry. Then, he used a trick to lure himself into Changxiangcheng, thinking about catching turtles in the jar.

The idea was very good, but the plan had been seen through for the rest of his life. He had other purposes in his mind, otherwise he would not have fallen into the trap.

The road behind, all the way to Wufeng City, requires two such cities. I don’t know how many enemy soldiers are. Instead of fighting one by one, it is better to use a plan to attract more enemy troops here and end the battle so that our side can reach Wufeng City faster.

The enemy's formation slowly gathered in the distance, and the rest of his life gathered his smile and felt calm. Before, he had ordered three or four battalions to rest on the spot without caring about the enemy's attack. It was impossible for the other party to easily break through Changxiangcheng with the ten-foot walls and the soldiers of the hundred battles.

At midnight, the bright moon is in the sky.

After the enclave sergeant arrived in Changxiangcheng, they quickly spread out the formation and built the siege equipment that had been prepared long ago.

Tuicheng Tower, about ten feet high, is made of thick wood on all sides

The board covers it with wooden steps, with wheel hubs below. The sergeant behind pushes the city tower. When the wall reaches the city wall, the top wooden board will be removed. In this way, an external staircase of the same height as the city wall can be formed, allowing the siege soldiers to continuously attack the city head through this ladder. This is a relatively common siege equipment.

The cloud ladder is more than ten feet high and can be directly placed on the city wall. This is a simple siege equipment.

The Chongcheng Car, the Chongcheng Car in the Enclave, is smaller than the ones seen in other places. The Chongcheng Car looks like it has just been built, and the skin of the main trunk is still seeped with juice.

The only thing that Yu Sheng was worried about was the two simple catapults being assembled in the enemy formation. This thing was extremely powerful and could directly eject large objects and shoot them onto the city or wall. If this thing was used with all its strength, it would cause considerable losses to oneself.

However, although he was a little worried, Yu Sheng did not take it too seriously. He had experienced too many sieges of thousands of people. In Yu Sheng's opinion, this siege battle was as simple as playing house.

He turned around and whispered a few words. The messenger behind him immediately nodded, quickly got off the city wall, and conveyed the orders of the rest of his life.

After a moment, a team of black figures climbed over the city wall and hid into the mountains beside them.

"Woo..." The long horn sounded, breaking the tranquility that had always been. After so long, the enemy finally began to act.

The enemy troops lined up in an orderly phalanx. At the front, a row of soldiers held large shields and marched forward slowly. The other soldiers were closely following behind, all holding small shields and raised upwards to defend against possible arrows. Behind, the Pucheng Tower moved slowly. The Cloud Ladder followed behind the Pucheng Tower, and at the end of the attacking team was the City-Crushing Car.

During this attack by the enemy, half of the troops were invested, and the remaining soldiers were defending on the spot without moving.

The enemy army marched forward, with about 3,000 people, with clear division of labor and well-equipped equipment, and seemed to be prepared.

"Interesting." Yu Sheng grinned, turned around and ordered loudly, saying: "Come on the crossbow, maximum range!"

A team of about a thousand people raised their bows on the city wall, rushing towards the sky diagonally, with the sound of the bow string tense endlessly.

"Three consecutive shots, release!"

With Yu Sheng's order, the rain of arrows immediately flew out, like flying insects passing through the border, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the opposite formation.

The enemy's phalanx immediately raised the small shield to defend against the rain of arrows falling from the sky. For a moment, the "jingle" sound of arrows hitting the shields came one after another, like heavy rain dripping on the earth.

A wave of arrows ended, followed by the second and third waves.

Three waves of dense rain of arrows caused considerable casualties to the enemy. About a hundred enemy troops died in a violent attack under this rain of arrows.

Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the enemy's vacant square formation. After a while, the soldiers behind him filled it up. He couldn't help but smile. He immediately made a judgment on the strength of this enemy.

"Free attack, remember, don't touch their city push tower, the city car must be destroyed." Yu Sheng waved his hand and let the soldiers attack freely, but he leaned on the battlements and sat down, no longer commanding, and actually began to close his eyes and rest.

In his opinion, the level of the enemy's army really does not require one to command step by step. Only by the experienced sergeant's own actions can we resolve this siege. Judging from the siege's siege, the quality of the enemy is indeed as good as before.

The enemy troops encountered in the siege battle were far behind.

Outside the city, screams were endless. On the city wall, the soldiers kept shooting out the arrow feathers in their hands, but did not say a word. Every soldier was calm and calm on his face. They saw the enemy's abilities completely.

Huang Yuchen stood on the hills in the distance and witnessed the enemy's offensive in front of him. He looked at the fallen enemy troops, which had been half lost before they could advance to the edge of the city.

"Is the enemy's commander a broken mind..." Huang Yuchen glanced at the several guards watching the battle together and said, "Isn't it a pity to let such soldiers come forward to attack the city?"

"This wave of enemy troops is indeed not enough." A guard on the side whispered: "But the first wave of offensives should be just a test. The enemy's troops gathered not many people. Although the city walls in Changxiangcheng are not high, they are still more than ten feet long. If a general attack is really launched, more than three thousand soldiers are not enough. In the battle of siege, if the attacking party does not invest more than three times the defensive party's strength, there is no possibility of capturing it."

"They have dispatched three thousand people now, which is probably three times the defense at this moment, but they are beaten like this." Another guard shook his head slightly and said, "This battle is almost one-sided and has no quality at all. I believe the brothers on the city will feel a little boring."

Huang Yuchen did not speak anymore, but looked at the front door next to him. There was still no movement at the front door. The enemy had no intention of besieging the front door, and the soldiers guarding the front door did not look like supporting the back door. They leaned behind the battlements and rested quietly.

"Didn't they want the army to put in the brink of the enemy and force us to abandon the city and escape?" Huang Yuchen looked at the battle at the back door, then looked at the front door without any movement. The two city gates formed a sharp contrast. This idea couldn't help but come into Huang Yuchen's mind.

"Haha." A guard chuckled, "They would be disappointed. With the city lord's temper, it would be good to take the initiative to get into the trap and not kill them to escape. I want the city lord to abandon the city. I have never encountered such a person."

"Yes, Deputy General Ma, don't worry." Another guard said: "I have been following the city lord for so many years, but I have never left the city to escape. If the enemy really arranged this way, let them wait. If they are impatient, they will definitely come to attack the city."

Huang Yuchen blinked his eyes. Of course, he believed that Yu Sheng's ability was absolutely top-notch. Looking at the entire Qitian Empire, he was also an outstanding general. It was almost impossible for the enemy's attack to make Yu Sheng give up. He looked at the six fire formations he arranged behind him, and then looked at the siege battles being carried out below, and felt a little bored.

With such an enemy's offensive, these Lihuo Formations will not have any effect.

Huang Yuchen looked bored, but at this moment, he was still closing his eyes to rest. Compared to the screams coming from time to time under the city, he could only hear the sound of crossbows on the city wall.

Less than a mile away, the three thousand enemy soldiers were fully equipped and advanced forward. Before reaching the city wall, half of the troops had been lost. When the rushing cart entered the range of the crossbow, it was stared at by a small group of soldiers and shot all the enemy troops who were pushing the cart forward. No one dared to push forward. All the enemy troops were hidden behind their shields and the city tower, and walked forward tremblingly.

Finally, after the price of returning almost half of the troops, the enemy finally pushed the Tucheng Tower to the edge of Changxiang City.

"Dong..."
