Chapter 118
I don't know how many shells were fired from the artillery, but it can be seen that the Beiyuan people suffered heavy damage.Based on the number of troops sent, Lin Tu estimated that the Beiyuan people sent at least 1 troops to attack the city.This was only the first day of the war, just the first battle. It could be said to be just a trial, but Moli had invested so much money. Lin Tu felt something was wrong.

If you really want to put all your eggs in one basket, is it better to directly attack the city with 3 troops, leaving no room and spare no effort, without any reservations.But after investing so many troops, they didn't have the momentum of the decisive battle.

"Does Molly think that 1 troops are enough to take Xihe City? Under the attack of the artillery, the damage can also be seen. The casualties are estimated to be about [-]%, right? Adding the archers, you can reach The ones under the city wall are only about half of them. Where did he get the courage?"

Lin Tu couldn't figure out what Mo Li's intentions were in what he was doing now.In Lin Tu's opinion, if Mo Li was just a temptation during the first battle, it was obvious that there were too many people, but if he went all out, there shouldn't be so many people left to wait and see.

"Forget it, no matter that much, since he sent over 1 troops, we will let them go without returning. After losing the 1 troops, it will be even more difficult for Mo Li to capture Xihe City. "

Lin Tu miscalculated. Moli had sent 1 troops. If there were only 5 troops sent out and they couldn't be taken back, they could basically withdraw directly.

"The artillery is on standby, the archers are ready."

Facing the Beiyuan army that was a little closer, the artillery could not exert its power for the time being.Therefore, we can only wait for the Beiyuan army to get closer, and then suppress it with bows and arrows.

On the city wall, there are rows and rows, a total of 5000 people, all equipped with bows and arrows.When the bows and arrows lose their effect, they can quickly replace them with other weapons around them, such as spears or swords.

It is also due to the relatively small number of soldiers and the fact that the Xiao family army is also proficient in bows and arrows. Otherwise, how could they be so messy?
When the Northern Plains people approached, nearly 5000 bows and arrows were waiting for them.

Lin Tu estimated the distance to the Beiyuan people, and was always ready to give orders.Under Yang Yichuan's thinking, when these Beiyuan people entered the range, they could directly start salvoing with bows and arrows, there was no need to wait until everyone was within the range.

Although doing this will waste some bows and arrows, if you shoot more rounds of bows and arrows, you will definitely be able to kill more people.There are plenty of bows and arrows, but after people die, the force guarding Xihe City becomes a little weaker.

"Prepare."

Lin Tu himself was also ready, and began to aim and shoot the arrow.Being able to kill a Beiyuan native might mean one less Xihe army died, so Lin Tu naturally didn't hesitate to shoot a few arrows.

"Let go." Lin Tu yelled, and then let go of the hand pulling the string, and the bow and arrow flew out with a "swish", hitting a Beiyuan native, and the Beiyuan native didn't even have time to squeak before his life was ended.

And the other archers on the city wall also shot out quickly, raining arrows all over the sky.But unlike artillery, arrows can be blocked, and by raising the shield, many arrows can be blocked.

But even so, many people were injured and killed by arrows.After the first group of people shot arrows, they quickly retreated and exchanged positions, and the people in the second row stepped forward and continued to shoot arrows.

This method of crossing is quite good. In fact, Yang Yichuan wanted to design it as a ladder type before, standing directly in two rows, standing in three rows, and shooting arrows together.However, on the city wall, it was quite difficult and unreasonable to make such changes, so Yang Yichuan gave up.

Wave after wave of arrows flew towards the vanguard of the Northern Plains people. The number of Northern Plains people was rapidly decreasing. Let that Northern Plainsman lose his legs.In such a scene, the legs are crippled, and there is no way to advance or retreat. There is no difference between living and dead.

"Lord Molly, the damage was too severe. Many of our elites were killed by that kind of weapon before. Now I don't know how many people fell under the rain of arrows. Lord Molly, if this continues, they may It can't be successful."

"What do you want?"

"The whole army attacked and took Xihe City in one fell swoop."

"Take down Xihe City in one fell swoop? Let's go there again, and when we've all reached the corner and climbed the city wall, how many people do you think we'll have left?"

"It should be about 1."

"Okay, even if there are around 1, do you think we can win Xihe City?"

"Lord Mo Li, [-] elites are enough to take down Xihe City."

"Stupid. Didn't you find the Xiao's army? There are at least 3000 Xiao's troops on the north city gate. We Beiyuan people use cavalry to win. We can't defeat the Xiao's army when we fight on the city wall. Even if we capture Xihe City, How many people do we have left?"

"Once we attack the city with all our strength, then Xihe City will definitely defend with all our strength. We will mobilize people from the other three city gates. Even if we only add 1000 people, they will still have 6000 people. In the case of 1 vs. 6, we are Can win.”

"But after we win, we can't defend Xihe City. How do you know that they have no backup? I heard that a large Han family will have many guards. It can range from dozens to as many as three or four hundred. If they Gathering these guards and equipping them with some weapons will be another big trouble for us."

"Then, Master Mo Li means that we can't attack Xihe City?"

"Idiot, Xihe City, we have to take it down, but we alone are not enough. We need to send more people from the royal court so that we can take down Xihe City and take over and stabilize Xihe City. .”

"Sir Morley is talking about only these 1 people."

"You have to take a longer view. They are all warriors who died for the royal court. Only when they go to test this time, can I know how much power Xihe City has, and then I can decide how many people to use to break this Xihe City."

Molly was still squinting, watching the battle.

Under the offensive of Arrow Rain, about [-]% of the personnel were injured.

And now, this road can be said to be a road of blood, a road paved with human life and blood, which has allowed the remaining half of the people to come under the city wall.It's really here, the situation where soldiers are approaching the city, and a more intense fight is about to begin.

Next comes the actual siege, breaking down the gates and climbing the walls.However, there are now less than 9000 people left. Facing the 5000 people defending the city, the situation is still very difficult.

Yang Yichuan was in Beicheng District, right in the middle of the street directly opposite the Beicheng Gate, drinking tea with Xiao Muyuan and Xiao Muxue.The residents near the four major city gates have been cleared away, allowing them to live in more central locations.

Yang Yichuan didn't want to see the bloody scene, but it didn't mean that Yang Yichuan didn't care about the battle situation, so this place was considered a good place.If there is any news, send someone to deliver the news soon.

"Half of the city is smoke and sand, soldiers are approaching the pond,

Gold and iron horses, for whom to fight for the world,

One will become ten thousand bones withered, how many white hairs will be sent away by black hairs. "

At this moment, Yang Yichuan sang a song, and both Xiao Muxue and Xiao Muyuan looked sideways.However, I can also understand that feeling. War is a matter of corpses forming mountains and blood flowing into rivers.

"Hey."
