Chapter 530
"Hurry, wake everyone up and prepare to defend the city."
"You, you, and you, bring people to transport all the hot turbulent oil to the top of the city!"
"Ergouzi, I'll leave it to you. If you nail it to me like a nail, you must not let the enemy rise to the top of the city, otherwise I will never end up with you."
Tian Da's military order was quickly conveyed, and he suddenly became busy on the top of the city wall.
Outside the city, endless Han, Han and Zhao troops were swarming in. At the front were teams of heavy armors with shields, and then rows of archers. Then clusters of rockets rushed into the air, and then intertwined in the air to form an endless meteor shower, which was fiercely gathered towards the head of Lixia.
"Rockets attack, stand up shields, hold up shields!"
"Damn it, carry the big wooden board over there, hurry!"
"Get out of here, don't take my place, get out of here!"
The city was suddenly in chaos, and the armored soldiers with shields raised their shields in chaos. Those without shields quickly looked for wooden boards or large urns for cover. The veteran rushed forward like a ferocious spirit, and picked up the new recruits hiding behind the pile without saying a word, and then kicked them to the ground.
The endless rocket rain finally roared down from the sky.
There were continuous wails and screams suddenly sounded on the top of the city, and the Qi soldiers who had no time to hide or could not find cover fell down one by one.
The rain of arrows comes quickly and goes quickly.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the thirty waves of rocket rain had come to an end.
The Qi army captains, Sima and Junhou on the top of the city got out of the shield and commanded the Qi army archers to line up on the top of the city, preparing to fight back outside the city.
However, the Qi army archers on the top of the city had just completed their assembly, and their boundless murderous intent suddenly fell from the sky.
This time, the enemy archers outside the city did not use rockets, but used ordinary arrows. Due to darkness, the defenders on the city could not see any traces of arrows flying through the air. Now, the defenders on the city were killed and injured, and only one wave of hidden arrows attacked. At least hundreds of people fell down!
#############
Outside the city, Zhou Yafu, Bai Yan and Han Ju were watching the battle not far away.
Listening to the screams coming from the city, I imagined the tragic phenomenon of the Qi garrison being killed and injured by the waves of hidden arrows. Bai Yan couldn't help but look at Han Ju. Both of them saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. Although Zhou Yafu was young, he was really cunning.
First, thirty waves of rocket rains were used to create an illusion for the defenders, thinking that the coalition would only attack with rockets. After the defenders formed this preconceived idea, they suddenly ordered the coalition's bows and arrows to use ordinary arrows. In this case, it was almost impossible to miss Zhou Yafu's plot.
#############
After the rain of arrows attacked, teams of light coalition troops rushed up the ladder and began to grab the city.
The defenders on the city wall fought back, rolling wood and rocks down like rain, smashing the coalition soldiers who were going up the ladder to the ground. They poured pots of boiling hot oil from the city wall and threw down the torches. The fire was suddenly burning under the wall, and the coalition soldiers who had no time to escape were swallowed up by the sea of fire.
In the raging fire, the burnt smell of barbecue quickly filled the air.
However, the coalition forces siege were not frightened by the tragic phenomena in front of them. Amid the endless sound of horns, waves of coalition light troops rushed like a tide. The waves ahead retreated, and the waves that followed immediately replaced them, without a moment of pause or a trace of slackness.
In the endless battle, a light army of coalition troops finally snatched the city.
Looking at the coalition flags erected on the top of the city, the coalition forces under the city cheered like a tsunami.
However, before the cheers of the coalition forces fell, a team of Qi army soldiers rushed over violently. Before they could even gain a foothold, the Qi army soldiers squeezed them down from the city. Then the coalition flags inserted into the city were also cut off by Qi army. Sighs suddenly sounded outside the city.
#############
Bai Yan was thrilled and said regretfully: "Damn it, but I failed."
"This is an expected result." Zhou Yafu carried his hands on his back and said lightly, "I have said that it is difficult to get a strong attack."
Bai Yan, although Han Ju was dissatisfied, he had to admit that Zhou Yafu's judgment was correct.
Time passed quietly in the fierce battle. In a scattered manner, Zhou Yafu asked Bai Yan: "General Bai, how long has it been?"
"Report to the general, the siege has lasted for two full hours!" While speaking, Bai Yan's facial muscles were twitching violently, because the siege was dominated by the Zhao army and was attacked for two consecutive hours. The Zhao army was suffering heavy casualties. The most conservative estimate is that there are probably more than 5,000 casualties.
"Is it two hours?" Zhou Yafu nodded slightly and said, "It's almost done, then let's start."
Bai Yan turned around suddenly, stared at Han Ju and shouted: "General Han Ju, hurry up, it's time for the Han army to take action!"
Han Ju focused heavily, then put his iron bow and shot a rocket into the void. The burning rocket instantly drew a faint stream of light in the air.
#############
The sound of low and distant trumpets finally sounded outside the city. Amid the endless sound of trumpets, the coalition forces that were just attacking the city suddenly retreated like a tide of ebbing.
The danger was lifted, and many Qi soldiers immediately collapsed on the top of the city.
The next moment, the city was trapped in a sea of joy, the coalition forces were defeated, and the city was guarded!
Tian Hao was breathing heavily, but he felt no joy in his heart. He could feel that the coalition forces should not have tried their best yet, so why did they retreat? As the chief general of the city, Tian Hao had to think more and do more. The coalition forces still had the spare time to retreat. Could it be that there was a backup plan?
When Tian Haozheng was suspicious, suddenly a sharp-eyed little school student finger Dongfang shouted: "Look, fire!"
Tian Hao's heart was slightly shocked. He looked in the direction of the little school's fingers. Sure enough, he saw the ghostly lights of fires in the distant sky in the east. In just a moment, the lights of fire turned into a large area of endless fires. You can think of them with your toes that a huge army was marching at night!
The cheers on the city ended abruptly, and all the defenders pointed at Dongfang, secretly frightened. The coalition forces that had attacked the north gate of the city had just retreated, and the east gate was about to usher in another wave of fierce attacks from the coalition forces? The coalition forces were sufficient and could divide their troops to attack, but the defenders were insufficient, so they could not say that they had to rush to the east gate to help.
The lieutenant, Sima, and the military marquis looked like earth, and they all looked at Tianqian. Although they were all tired, they had no choice but to defend the city.
Tian Hao seemed to understand a little, and his eyes suddenly became brighter than ever before.
"I understand, I figured it out!" After thinking through everything, Tian Hao pointed at Dongfang and shouted excitedly, "Reinforcements, General Shentu's reinforcements have arrived, hahaha, that is the reinforcements of our Daqi!" Five days ago, Tian Hao had already received a letter from Linzi, saying that Shentu Jia had led 30,000 troops to rescue. Calculate the time, it was almost time to arrive.
"Hmm? Reinforcements?!"
"Our reinforcements?"
"Is General Shentu's army?"
The lieutenant, Sima, and military marquis looked at each other, obviously not very convinced.
However, Tian Hao's inference was quickly verified. The fire that appeared from the east suddenly turned in a direction and turned obliquely to the north. The coalition forces that had just retreated from the north gate began to line up outside the city in a mess. In the flashes of light and flickering fire, the panic expressions of the coalition soldiers could even be clearly "see" the panic expressions of the coalition soldiers.
"Look, big flag, big flag of Qi army!" Another soldier shouted.
The colors of the flags of different countries vary, while the flags of Qi are purple, which is easy to recognize.
In an instant, the city was in an uproar. The reinforcements were really General Shentu’s reinforcements!
The horn sounded long, and the sound of the excited golden drums resounded throughout the night sky. In less than two quarters of an hour, the Qi army, which was surging from the eastern sky, rushed into the hurriedly array of coalition forces, and the fierce fighting began.
"Hahaha, the time for counterattack is here!" Tian Hao held his long sword high and shouted at the sky with his thunderous thunder. "Soldiers, follow me to fight out of the city. 100,000 heads are waiting for you to harvest. 100,000 military achievements are waiting for you to collect. What are you all waiting for? Kill me, kill me..."
"Kill kill..." Amid the tide-like shouts, the Qi State defenders who were still exhausted and were instantly excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. Then they rushed down the city tower with Tian Hao. The closed city gate slowly opened, and the hanging suspension bridge slowly fell down, and then the defenders rushed out of the city gate.
#############
On a hill not far away.
Bai Yan and Han Ju couldn't believe it, this, this, this, this?
Han Ju even rubbed his eyes hard. That's right, the city gate at Lixia had indeed opened, and the defenders had indeed broken out of the city. Obviously, they planned to cooperate with the "reinforcements" to launch a fatal blow against the coalition forces that were in chaos. They were fighting a good plan, but unfortunately, what was waiting for them was a fatal trap.
Bai Yan, Han Ju looked at each other and looked at Zhou Yafu again, their eyes became a little solemn. Who would underestimate Zhou Yafu because of his age? In the end, he would definitely regret it. Although this guy is young, he is extremely old in military use. He is stable, accurate, and cruel, and he is not like an eighteen-year-old young man?
Zhou Yafu didn't care about Bai Yan at all. Han Ju just turned around and ordered the accompanying Han army school and said, "Send a signal, Taolin Camp can attack." Taolin Camp is an elite soldier of Zhou Yafu's headquarters. It is named after it is stationed in Taolin. Although the troops are not large, only 5,000, it can be called well-trained and well-equipped. (To be continued)
