Chapter 26: Rain of Arrows
The bandits realized that if they continued to charge forward they would only die in vain, so the bandits behind them retreated decisively, and they were lucky enough to survive.
Ying Xuanze's archers were not interested in the bandits, and they used their arrows to shoot the bandits who were closer to the city.
As the last bandit fell to the ground, the first batch of more than 4,000 bandits who attacked the city died tragically under the city wall.
Almost every corpse was on fire, and the whole north of the city was filled with a burning smell. For a moment, no bandit dared to move forward again.
"Damn it, this guy has tricked me! I thought he really didn't have any archers!" Li Kui cursed.
"Go and arrange our archers! Shoot to death at the top of the city wall! The others should advance normally under the attack of the rain of arrows to avoid being accidentally injured by our arrows."
"Yes!"
The archers in the bandit team quickly rushed to the front line. After arriving at the position, they immediately drew their bows and loaded arrows and fired at the top of the city wall.
Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Ying Xuanze immediately shouted, "Arrows coming! Raise your shield!"
The engineers who had been waiting in advance immediately ran to the top of the city wall carrying shields. In units of ten, they put their shields together to form a wall.
The archers hid behind this "wall", and most of the arrows hit the shields.
The bandits fired five volleys in total and had already shot out half of their arrows.
Wu Meng felt that after five rounds of volleys, even if the defenders on the city walls were not all killed, at least most of them would be lost, so he ordered the rear army to catch up with the front army.
After Ying Xuanze, who was under the shield, could no longer feel the attack, he immediately stood up and shouted, "They are coming, keep shooting!"
The engineers quickly stood up, and a moment later, Gao Liucheng shot a large number of arrows at the attacking bandits.
After the first round of volleys, the bandits had already been stunned by the sudden rain of arrows. Many of them stood there for a while, not knowing whether to continue attacking or retreating.
Soon, the archers on the city wall targeted the archers in the bandit camp not far away.
If the bandits could shoot them, they could too.
Then another rain of arrows was shot out, and the attacking bandits below looked at the arrows flying over their heads and wondered how to defend themselves.
But this time the rain of arrows flew over their heads and hit the archers behind them.
"Shoot back! Shoot back!"
After many of their brothers were killed, the archers among the bandits quickly organized a counterattack.
But just as they were about to draw their bows and aim, the second round of rain of arrows arrived!
In terms of combat quality, they are no match for the one-star archers!
Six consecutive volleys! Most of the archers in the bandit camp were killed, and the remaining ones were wounded by arrows and completely lost their ability to attack.
The bandits' second attack was blocked again, and this time they retreated two miles to make sure they would not be hit by arrows before stopping.
On the other side, Li Kui grabbed a bandit who had retreated and asked, "What's going on? Did the defenders catch up with them?"
The bandits shook their heads repeatedly: "No, village chief! They didn't chase us at all, they didn't fall for it at all!"
Li Kui cursed loudly, pushed the bandit away, and then rode his horse to find Wu Meng.
"Wu Meng! What kind of crappy plan is this? The Marquis of Zhenxi didn't even send anyone to pursue us. So many brothers died in vain!"
Wu Meng also had a serious expression at this time. Facing Li Kui's questioning, he was unable to refute.
"This kid is really good. I underestimated him just now."
After their second attack was thwarted, Wu Meng thought of pretending to retreat in order to lure the defenders of Gaoliu City out of the city to pursue them.
As soon as the city gates are opened and the people inside chase out, they will turn around and kill them by surprise!
But Ying Xuanze was not fooled at all. He could see through this clumsy pretended retreat at a glance.
At least to make the show more dramatic, there should be something left on the ground, right? When he watched the scene from the top of the city wall, his face was full of question marks, wondering if the leader of the bandits was brainless.
"Tell the brothers to cheer up, and focus on the one on the horse and shoot him hard!"
"Yes!"
“Damn it! Why don’t we just charge in directly? Why bother trying to use military tactics with this Marquis of Zhenxi?” Li Kui drew out his sword and shouted.
"Everyone listen up! Attack the city gate! Anyone who brings back the defenders' heads will be rewarded handsomely!"
The bandits were all very excited. Following Li Kui's order, the bandits from Qingfeng Village rushed forward first.
Wu Meng hesitated for a moment, but still ordered his men to charge forward with Qingfeng Village.
If the Marquis of Zhenxi had set an ambush, the first people to die would be the people of Qingfeng Village.
If the city gate is broken, his Longwangzhai can also pick up ready-made heads.
In this round, his Dragon King Camp did not lose out no matter how you looked at it.
Ying Xuanze laughed disdainfully as he watched the bandits charging forward without any order. Fighting a war without any formation is a big taboo in military strategy!
After the bandits ran into the range of the arrows, Ying Xuanze waited for a while before giving the order to shoot.
The archers immediately leaned forward and fired a volley of arrows rapidly downwards.
A new rain of arrows fell, killing batches of bandits! The bandits on horseback were also accurately shot off their horses, and the entire bandit group was in chaos.
"Why do they still have arrows?"
"Retreat! There are too many arrows! Retreat!"
The bandits who had just attacked were forced back again by the attack of arrows, but the other bandits who came later had no idea what was happening in front of them.
All they thought about was military exploits, and thinking of breaking into the city and chopping off the defenders' heads to collect the reward.
The retreating bandits collided with the new bandits on the battlefield. Due to the chaotic formation, countless retreating bandits were knocked to the ground and then trampled to death by other bandits.
The chaotic bandits became the best shooting targets for the defenders, and large numbers of them fell like wheat being cut.
Wu Meng realized that something big had happened ahead of him before he arrived at the battlefield, and he immediately ordered the brothers in Longwangzhai to stop charging.
Li Kui rushed into the battlefield but was quickly stopped by Li Shuang and Zhu Lie.
"Boss! Retreat quickly! The defenders' attack is too fierce! They have too many arrows! The rain of arrows is raining down on our brothers' heads in batches!"
Li Shuang had a sad face. Li Kui looked up at him, and then his pupils suddenly trembled.
All before his eyes were the corpses of his men. In the previous wave of chaos, two-thirds of the people in his Qingfeng Village were killed in the front.
Li Kui's eyes were red, and he yelled at Li Shuang and Zhu Lie: "Why are you retreating? No retreat! Charge!"
"Didn't you see that so many brothers died? Avenge them! Why are you retreating?!"
"Boss, calm down! Let the people from Dragon King Village go! They didn't contribute at all just now!"
Zhu Lie's words woke Li Kui up. He turned around suddenly and saw that the people from Longwangzhai were retreating little by little.
"Mr. Wu! What the hell do you mean?" Li Kui turned his horse around, and the remaining bandits from Qingfeng Village followed him and quickly caught up with Longwang Village.
"Wu Meng! Believe it or not, I will kill you!" Li Kui rushed into the crowd, drew his sword and stepped forward to fight with Wu Meng.
Zhang Dayong immediately stepped forward to block Li Kui's knife. He shouted, "Captain Li? What does this mean?"
“What the hell are you asking me? We agreed to take the city together, but in the end, it’s my brothers from Qingfeng Village who died!” Li Kui shouted with a red face.
"Don't be too harsh! Many of our brothers in Longwangzhai have died!" Zhang Dayong sneered and continued:
"It was your people who were too reckless. They attacked without waiting for our Dragon King's main force to arrive. Now that there are serious casualties, you blame us?"
"Zhang Dayong! I'm going to chop you down first!" Li Kui rushed forward on his horse and fought with Zhang Dayong for several rounds.
At this moment, a bandit came riding from behind, shouting, "Urgent news! Urgent news! Something terrible has happened!"
Wu Meng immediately rode forward to stop Zhang Dayong and Li Kui. Just then, the bandit rode up behind the three of them and got off his horse in a hurry.
"Two village masters! Something has happened! It seems that a large army has appeared behind us!"
Wu Meng and Li Kui gasped at the same time. Behind them were the Yingchuan Mountains. Where did this army come from?
"Damn it! Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenxi has more than 10,000 troops!?"
All the bandits present looked as pale as death. If there really was a large army blocking their way from the rear, they would have no choice but to continue attacking the city!
But what greeted them when they attacked the city was wave after wave of arrows...
