The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Looking at the huge crowds of foreign soldiers outside the city, Duan Tianyang felt a little scared, but he knew very well that this was a rare opportunity.

He said to Guan Hu meaningfully: "Huzi, if we want to kill Su Wen, we should do it, not these foreign tribes. Whether we can gain a foothold in Xiguan City depends on this battle today. Do you understand?"

Guan Hu nodded as if he understood, not quite. This kind of brain-intensive work was not suitable for him. He would just do whatever Brother Tian said. It would be right to follow Brother Tian!

War is completely different from martial arts. No matter how high your realm is and how strong your body is, how many nails can you crush? There will always be a time when your true energy is exhausted.

Duan Tianyang had no practical experience in this area and could only try his best to recall the war scenes he had seen in modern books and TV dramas and command based on his intuition.

He shouted to the soldiers on the wall: "The enemy is approaching, prepare to shoot!"

These soldiers were all experienced veterans. Without his saying anything, they had already quickly taken off their longbows, pulled out arrows and put them on the bows.

Duan Tianyang watched the approaching foreign soldiers and gave an order: "Pass the order down, when the enemy is within a hundred steps, shoot immediately!"

His orders were quickly conveyed to the entire team by the soldiers.

Just as Duan Tianyang was staring intently outside the city, he saw the foreign soldiers under the city wall surprisingly unanimously take out their face scarves and cover their faces with them.

Before Duan Tianyang could come to his senses, these soldiers pulled out branches from behind their backs and pushed forward, paddling vigorously on the dry yellow soil.

Outside Xiguan City, the land is barren and even a trace of green is hard to find.

The passing of branches caused the already soft and dry loess to be instantly rolled up, and dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun.

The figures of the foreign soldiers disappeared without a trace in the dust, leaving only the yellow earth dancing freely in the air.

What kind of routine is this? Duan Tianyang couldn't help but frowned.

At this moment, the squad leader came over quickly. Seeing Duan Tianyang's expression, he hurriedly said, "Sir, the barbarian archers are about to charge. You'd better hide behind the arrow tower."

"Archers?" Duan Tianyang was slightly stunned.

The squad leader smiled disdainfully and said, "The barbarians always use branches to stir up dust as cover, and then the archers will suddenly rush out and use the arrow formation to suppress the defenders on the city wall, creating conditions for the infantry to charge."

Wow, so this is how it works!

When he heard that he knew the enemy's siege strategy well, Duan Tianyang couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's your name?"

"My Lord, my name is Zhu Wu."

Zhu Wu...Isn't this name the name of the brilliant military strategist in "Water Margin"?

Duan Tianyang's mind moved. The enemy planned to use an arrow formation to cover the siege, which reminded him of Zhuge Liang's strategy of borrowing arrows from a straw boat in the Three Kingdoms period.

But the current situation is not entirely suitable for borrowing arrows, what is more needed is defense.

If we replace the straw boat with door panels, wouldn't it be possible to both defend against arrows and collect enemy arrows, killing two birds with one stone?

This thought flashed through Duan Tianyang's mind, and he immediately said to Zhu Wu excitedly: "Zhu Wu, you should lead some brothers down to the city immediately and tear down as many large wooden boards as possible. This way, you can use them to block the enemy's arrows and collect their arrows. It's really killing two birds with one stone!"

"I obey my orders!"

Zhu Wu showed a look of joy on his face. He was right about the person. This was what fighting was all about!

He waved to a group of soldiers beside him and led them to quickly run down the city wall.

At the same time, Duan Tianyang turned to Guan Hu and Xiao Fang beside him, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fang, Hu Zi, the two of you will guard the farthest ends of the city wall on the left and right sides respectively. You are not allowed to leave without my order."

"Yes! Brother Tian!" The two responded in unison and immediately ran towards their respective city walls.

Dust rolled in with the footsteps of the foreign soldiers, quickly approaching the city wall and gradually obscuring its outline.

Duan Tianyang stood quietly, took a deep breath, and calmed his inner turmoil.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, swung it violently, and ordered in a majestic voice: "Shoot!"

As the order was given, the soldiers hiding behind the arrow tower began to shoot arrows. The arrows passed through the flying dust and locked onto the targets outside the city.

Suddenly, arrows poured down from the city wall like a rainstorm and disappeared in the dust.

They couldn't be sure whether the arrows hit the enemy, but the screams in their ears made them realize that their attack had worked.

When the first row of soldiers shot their arrows, the row of soldiers following them immediately stood up, seamlessly connecting with them and continuing to rain down arrows.

Then they quickly squatted down, while the first row of soldiers had already neatly reloaded their arrows and stood up to attack again.

The soldiers worked in perfect harmony, fighting back and forth as if it were a silent dance. The arrows flying down from the city walls were like a waterfall, one round after another.

Duan Tianyang looked at all this and couldn't help but smile confidently.

Although our defenders are small in number, their fighting capacity should not be underestimated.

What's more, they are the ones defending the city and have the advantage of terrain.

The soldiers' dense arrows poured down from the city walls like a torrential rain. Amid the flying dust, screams rang out one after another, but this did not stop the foreign soldiers' determined advance.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the city, and then a team of cavalry rushed out from the dust like a gust of wind.

Zhu Wu's calculations came true, as the barbarians sent out cavalry to launch a fierce charge.

Duan Tianyang immediately gathered up his armor and shouted to the soldiers around him: "The enemy's archers are about to charge, squat quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly squatted down and hid behind the arrows.

Just as they dodged, the archers' arrows came like a black rainstorm.

With a buzzing sound, arrows drew parabolas in the air and finally landed on the top of the city, as if a black rain of arrows was rising below the city.

Duan Tianyang held the sword in his hand and swung it. Crisp metal collision sounds were heard one after another, and several arrows shot at him were skillfully bounced away.

When the archers' arrow formation passed, the soldiers hiding behind the arrows quickly stood up and launched a fierce volley at the archers under the city.

Arrows fell like raindrops. In an instant, dozens of archers were shot. They fell heavily to the ground with their horses, as if they were covered by hedgehogs.

Seeing that the other party had re-ready his bow and arrow, Duan Tianyang reacted quickly, swung the sword in his hand violently backwards, and shouted loudly: "Squat down!"

The soldiers on the city wall all followed his lead. Without saying much, they just observed the direction of the sword in his hand, and then they squatted down and hid behind the arrows.
