my wife is mulan

Even look fierce.

When it was time to set off, under the command of Cao Jiao, the thousand or 200 people marched out of the camp and arrived in front of the Lulongsai city pass. Everyone was ordered not to make a sound or use force when walking.

"General, my subordinates found that there are a dozen firewood piles not far from the city wall. Each firewood pile is about ten feet apart. It should be done by the Yan army!"

"Oh?" After hearing the scout's report, Cao Jiao knew in his heart that it must be the method used by the Yan army to prevent the Wei army from sneaking at night. As long as the Wei army launched a sneak attack, the Yan army would use rockets to ignite the pyre drenched in kerosene. Zhao Junsheng also taught them this method.

"Come here, send 200 men to fill these ten firewood piles with water in their helmets. Be careful not to disturb the Yan army on the city wall!"

"Yes, General!"

In the dark night, soldiers poured water from the river with their helmets on the woodpile.

After the soldiers were ready, Cao Jiao sounded zero, and the soldiers carried the siege ladder towards the city wall. In order not to make too much noise, everyone moved lightly.

Even so, the soldiers of the Yan army who were in charge of guarding on the city wall still heard the sound, and one soldier of the Yan army lit a torch and threw it down the city.

The torch slid down in the air, and the light illuminated the bottom of the city wall. The densely packed figures of Wei soldiers were reflected in the eyes of the guard soldiers of the Yan Army, and he immediately screamed: "Enemy attack!"

With a "swish", a sharp arrow pierced the guard sentry's chest.

But his brief warning sound still woke up the soldiers of the Yan army on the city wall. The soldiers of the Yan army got up and leaned against the female wall to look down the city. Went out.

"Hurry up, light the pyre with a rocket!" The guard Wan Ling ran out from the Wangri Tower to direct and issue the order.

"Swish, swish..." One by one rockets were shot out, but none of them ignited the pyre.

Wan Ling shouted: "What's going on? Why didn't you light the pyre? Did you misremember the location?"

Chapter 500

A building general reported: "General, it is impossible to remember the wrong position. Every soldier stands in the same position, draws his bow fully, and has the same elevation angle. We have conducted many test shots, and we can hit roughly the same target each time." The position, the error will not exceed one foot, and the firewood pile is four feet high, four feet long and four feet wide, it is impossible to miss it!"

"Then why hasn't the pyre been lit?" Wan Ling asked sharply. Seeing that General Zhuang lowered his head and said nothing, he knew it would be of no avail, so he immediately ordered: "Shoot another round!"

"Yes!" The building general agreed, "The archers obey the order, and the rocket will shoot another round!"

The archers took out rockets and ignited them. They stretched their bows and shot arrows out of the city. The rockets shot across the night sky and hit the firewood piles, but they failed to ignite the firewood piles. The rockets were extinguished as they burned.

This time Wan Ling could see clearly that more than a dozen rockets did hit the firewood pile, but the firewood pile was not ignited, and some people extinguished the rockets. This only shows that the firewood pile was already doused with water An oil pyre cannot be ignited unless it has been doused with water.

Wan Ling's heart sank, "It seems that the next battle will be a tough battle!"

He turned his head and said loudly to the generals of the Yan Army on the city wall: "Wei Jun has come over. Everyone cheers up and prepares for the battle. Wei Jun comes up and kills one for me. No one is allowed to retreat without orders!"

The torches were lit on the city wall, which made it easier for the defenders to carry the supplies for the defense of the city and facilitate the deployment of troops, but it also exposed the deployment of their own troops to the Wei army.

Cao Jiao observed for a while and ordered: "Order the archers to line up and shoot arrows at the Yan army at the top of the city! If the defenders find out where they are, they should immediately change their positions and shoot arrows! Give the siege The soldiers ordered that once our archers release their arrows, they will quickly start climbing and attacking the city!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and the archers lined up in a long line and approached the city wall together. The leader of the team in front stopped advancing, and they followed suit.

General Building raised his right hand to signal everyone to get ready to shoot arrows. The archers took arrows and put them on the bowstring to aim at the soldiers of the Yan army on the city wall. General Building waved his hand, and the archers shot arrows one after another. Immediately take the arrow and aim at the next enemy.

"Ah—" Some of the Yan soldiers who were shot screamed, some were shot down, and some retreated after being hit by arrows.

The Yan army guarding the city was terrified. They could not see the enemy, but the enemy could see them and shoot arrows at them.

"Dodge, dodge!" Wan Ling turned his head and yelled at the generals. He was protected by a guard with a shield, and he shouted again: "Archers step forward, fight back, come forward and fight back!"

The infantry with weapons retreated to the back, and the archers stepped forward to take over the defensive area. After shooting an arrow outside the city, they immediately hid behind the female wall, and then dodged out to shoot arrows after taking the arrows and stringing them.

An archer just came out from behind the wall to shoot arrows, but was stabbed to death by a long knife from outside the city wall. The owner of the long knife quickly climbed up and knocked down the archer. an archer.

The soldiers of the Yan army around were terrified, and immediately stepped forward to attack this man. A Yan army.

This Wei Jun had just died, and before his body fell down, another Wei Jun climbed up from outside the city wall. He rushed into the Yan Army and hacked, killing two more Yan Army soldiers before being hacked to death by other Yan Army soldiers.

More and more Wei troops climbed up the city wall, and the pressure on the soldiers of the Yan army who defended the city increased greatly. Since they avoided the arrows shot from outside the city, they had to fight with the attacking Wei army.

Cao Jiao was in a good mood watching this. As expected, these soldiers from the Southern Dynasty were specially used to attack the city. They were agile when climbing and attacking the city, and they were good at avoiding the arrows shot from the top of the city. There is no fear in the city ladder, and this quality is simply not comparable to other Wei troops.

The situation was very good, Cao Jiao was very happy, and ordered to the herald: "Beat the drums and cheer!"

"Dong dong dong..." The passionate drum sound came from behind, and the Wei army generals who were attacking the city roared one by one, with blood surging, the siege was even harder, and they were more fearless.

At the foot of the hillside at the southwest corner of the Lulongsai city wall, Zhao Junsheng appeared here with his own soldiers, including Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo, a total of more than 50 people.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and saw that the siege battle on the front wall was going well, and many Wei soldiers had climbed the city wall in the first wave of attack. He waved to Li Bao and others: "Get the climbing hook and rope ready, and follow me!" !” After speaking, he took the spear and took the lead to climb up the rocky hillside.

Li Bao and others took out the rope tied with the iron hook and followed Zhao Junsheng to climb up the hillside feeling the large and small rocks.

There is an arrow tower in the southeast corner. The right wall of the arrow tower extends to the section of the city wall where the siege battle is taking place. The rear wall of the arrow tower extends to the main city wall facing the outside of the Great Wall, and is connected with the city wall of the Lulong tower in the middle.

A group of people sneaked under the archery tower. Zhao Junsheng took out his long bow and took out two arrows to aim at the two guards. The two sharp arrows were shot at the same time, and the two guards on the archery tower were at the same time. on the guardrail.

Zhao Junsheng put the bow back into the bow bag, and at the same time ordered the soldiers: "Prepare the crossbow arrows!"

A dozen personal soldiers lined up, each took out a crossbow from behind, and they put the plum-blossom iron hook tied with the rope into the arrow slot.

"put--"

The soldiers shot plum blossom iron hooks, and each hook pulled the rope and shot it out on the city wall. The soldiers retracted the rope, and the others immediately tightened the rope, and the plum blossom iron hooks were hooked on the wall stack one by one.

Zhao Junsheng had already tied the spear to his back at this time, he waved his big hand, "Go!" He first rushed to the foot of the city wall, grabbed a rope, and climbed towards the city wall with hands and feet.

The city wall facing the pass is four feet high. It is still difficult for untrained people to climb with ropes, but people who have been trained in this kind of climbing can easily climb up, even Zhao Junsheng who has internal strength An infuriating person cannot eliminate the influence of gravity without using a rope.

It took only a few seconds for Zhao Junsheng to climb up the city wall, but a Yan army patrol came over with torches.

The leading Corporal Yan Jun saw Zhao Junsheng who had just jumped up, and immediately shouted: "Who is it?"

Zhao Junsheng threw the long spear in his hand with a bow and arrow step. The bright silver spear shot across the night sky and shot into the chest of Yan Army Corporal Commander. The spear penetrated the bodies of five Yan Army soldiers walking in a straight line. The last Yan Jun's body was nailed to the city wall.

"Plop, plop..." There were five consecutive sounds of falling to the ground, and the five soldiers of the Yan army fell to the ground and died one after another. Zhao Junsheng walked over quickly and pulled out the long spear nailed to the ground. There was no trace of blood, not even the sackcloth wrapped around the barrel of the gun was stained with blood.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed the spear and walked back. At this time, Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo had climbed up with more than 20 soldiers, and more than 30 soldiers were climbing. He said to Li Bao and others: "Follow me!" , the others quickly follow!"

Zhao Junsheng took the lead to bypass the archery tower, and moved quickly along the city wall. He handed over the spear to a soldier to carry it, and he walked in the front with a repeating crossbow. He soon encountered a group of Yan army patrols .

"There are enemies..."

"Whoosh!" Zhao Junsheng shot a crossbow arrow, and the patrol leader of the Yan army who only shouted two words was shot dead, and the other four Yan soldiers immediately shouted: "Wei army is coming!"

Zhao Junsheng shot four crossbow arrows in a row and was shot and killed one by one by the soldiers of the Yan army who were rushing over while shouting. He was calm and calm. After killing this patrol team, he waved his hand without stopping and said, "Let's go!"

Zhao Junsheng and others have been discovered. There are too many of them, and it is difficult not to be discovered. All the way to the north along the city wall, soldiers from the Yan army gathered to stop them. Zhao Junsheng and others first used bows and arrows Shoot with a crossbow, and then rush up to attack in close quarters.
