Chapter 540

Although the Seleu Dynasty army did not make any noise this night, Meng Tian still had a confident face. He did not believe that his actions would be ignored by the other party. Instead, he believed that the enemy would take action, and it would not be too late.

One hundred thousand cavalry took turns to guard the war in different hours, while the others went to the city to rest. Even Meng Tian and Peng Yue took turns to serve the war that could come at any time.

The only thing that was a little bit bitter was Long Ji. All their men and horses were brought into the woods. Although the scale was not small, fortunately, the Huns had a very thorough research on war horses, so they were safe and stable overnight and were not discovered by the enemy's scouts.

The enemy scouts were all focused on that city, and such a large forest was never within the plan they were searching for.

According to Meng Tian's instructions, Long Qi also let most of the cavalry rest in the forest, while he led a small number of elite troops to investigate on the periphery.

The sky was just brightening, and suddenly, a few people sent by Long Qi who were pretending to be people of the Mauryan Dynasty came back eagerly. As soon as they met, they reported it to Long Qi for a message.

"General, the cavalry in those cities have been dispatched. Just as you had guessed before, they came out of their respective cities. After that, they joined forces, and about 80,000 or 90,000 people went straight to the direction of the city occupied by our army yesterday!"

"Okay! General Meng Tian is really capable. I will go and inquire about this matter. When they arrive under that city, they will fight with the Qin cavalry, and come back to inform me!"

Although I didn't really believe in Meng Tian's plan before, now that the enemy has really left according to his ideas, Long Gai naturally needs to follow Meng Tian's plan step by step.

Long Qi began to get ready, and Meng Tian and Peng Yue naturally found out that the enemy gathered a large group of troops and rushed towards the small town they were guarding with great confidence.

"General, the enemy is really here!"

"Hmph, the enemy generals chose to attack during the day. I think they were thinking about some issues. They were not mediocre. However, no matter when they came here, it was up to me to decide how long this battle would last. It is time for them to see how powerful the Qin crossbow after the transformation of the Great Qin Dynasty is!"

At this time, among the two arrow towers outside the city, rows of Qin crossbows were already ready. After this night of transformation, the place where archers were originally standing on the arrow tower was removed from the two floors of space under Meng Tian's instructions. There were rows of Qin crossbows placed on each floor, and behind the Qin crossbow were squatting crossbows.

With this transformation, the number of Qin crossbows placed in each arrow tower is quite considerable. In addition, the size of this city is very small. The advantage of the small city gate is that the distance between the two arrow towers is not very far. At such a distance, the powerful Qin crossbow can play a huge role. With the combination of the arrow holes in the city wall, it is very difficult for the enemy to remove these two arrow towers.

Moreover, such transformations are difficult to detect as an offensive party. Only after experiencing them personally can they know this.

On this side, the four generals hurried to the city with almost all of their men, and the situation was not much different from what they had imagined before.

"General, these alien cavalry are indeed all huddled in that small city and have no intention of confronting our army head-on."

After a round of investigation, the scouts of the Seleu Dynasty found that the city gate was closed, and there were almost no people outside the city, only the towering arrow tower was pitch black and I wonder what was going on.

"If we don't fight head-on with our army, they can't help them. They are all cavalry and they will definitely not be able to perform in the city. If our army breaks through this small city gate, they will have to leave the city even if they don't leave the city!"

After saying this, the general waved his hand and it was obviously an attacking gesture. The army of the Seleu Dynasty had experienced many major wars. They had a very good tradition, that is, before setting off, the coach would set an attack routine first. If there was nothing wrong with the enemy, they would attack according to the routine they had set before, which undoubtedly saved a lot of time.

"What they can rely on is the two arrow towers and the archers hidden in the city walls. You will take down the two arrow towers as soon as possible, and then quickly go to the city gate to break the door!"

Of course, the generals of the Seleu Dynasty knew what the city of the Mauryan Dynasty were like. Of course, they knew that the first thing they should attack was the two arrow towers.

Obviously, there were arrangements for attacking the Arrow Tower before. Two teams of hundreds of people rushed to the Arrow Tower, while the others moved slowly, obviously waiting for their companions to kill the two Arrow Towers before they could continue moving forward.

In the arrow tower, a small group of people were waiting in front of Qin crossbow, staring at the enemy who was coming towards them.

"The enemy has entered range!"

There was a deputy general guarding each arrow tower. At this time, the soldiers who were staring at the enemy were eager to inform the enemy's whereabouts of the enemy, because without their orders, they would definitely not be able to fire the Qin crossbow.

"Wait a minute! General Meng Tian said that he must ensure that every arrow shoots at least one enemy before firing. There are only dozens of people in our Arrow Tower. If we want to strike the team of hundreds of people, each arrow cannot be lost. There is no need to worry that they rushed under the Arrow Tower. The brothers in the city wall will help us solve the enemy who rushed under the Arrow Tower!"

Although his face was covered with beans of sweat, the two deputy generals in the Arrow Tower continued to wait as Meng Tian had previously told him.

Although it only takes one or two minutes, the soldiers in these arrow towers seem to be as long as a century.

"The enemy has entered the best position and launches quickly! According to the previous agreement, it is divided into two waves of launches, and when one wave is loaded, another wave is launched!"

With the orders from the two deputy generals almost at the same time, arrows like locusts shot towards the enemy in several rows of gaps distributed up and down in the arrow tower.

The cavalry of the Seleu Dynasty was most confident about was nothing else. It was the heavy armor made of black iron on them. Although it was still very different from the heavy cavalry in the traditional sense, it was difficult for ordinary arrows to cause any serious damage to them.

So when they first shot arrows on the arrow tower, they really didn't care. Instead, they wanted to accelerate and hit the bottom of the arrow tower.

But when dozens of arrows rolled in from the air, they finally realized the difference between these arrows and ordinary arrows.

"puff!"

A quick arrow pierced into the armor, followed by a half scream. A Seleu cavalry who was sitting on a war horse was ready to gallop and was shot directly from the mount by the arrow.

There were dozens of people who had the same experience, which caused a huge shock to their companions. The arrow was three or four times the size of an ordinary arrow. They didn't know what kind of archers could pull such a bow and shoot such arrows. For a moment, fear rolled in the two teams close to the arrow tower.

But they also knew that if they could reach the bottom of the arrow tower as fast as possible, the archers would have no way to do anything to them, and would only become lambs trapped in the arrow tower to be slaughtered.

"Is the enemy's archers really so powerful?"

The Seleu generals who were waiting for their men to take down two arrow towers in the distance did not think it was such a difficult thing, but found that a wave of arrows came down and shot down a small piece of their cavalry. They suddenly thought of what the person who escaped before said to him, and knew that it was not because they were making excuses for their failure, but because the enemy's crossbow was indeed very powerful.

But even so, he didn't take it seriously, because the result of this was nothing more than the two teams he sent out were more damaged when they arrived at the Arrow Tower. When they arrived at the Arrow Tower, they would destroy the Arrow Tower directly. Even if the enemy troops there did not fall and die, they would be killed by their soldiers.

Everything was indeed developing as he expected. With one round of rushing, the two teams were baptized by the uninterrupted rain of arrows, and when they arrived at the bottom of the arrow tower, there were only a hundred people left.

But even so, they thought this was enough. When these people arrived at the bottom of the arrow tower, they found that the people on the arrow tower were really helpless, so they wanted to take out other weapons they carried with them and prepare to destroy the arrow tower.

But in this moment, many arrows suddenly shot out from the arrow holes on the city wall. After a round of harvest, the two teams of the Seleu Dynasty were not very optimistic.

"What? How could their arrows reach such a range?"

This incident was very strange in the eyes of the general. Originally, according to the ancient design of the Mauryan Dynasty city, the arrow tower and the arrow hole could not echo each other at all, but the city was a little smaller, and there was no moat outside the city, which led to the arrow tower being very close to the city wall. However, in their opinion, it was not as close as an archer could hit the archer with an arrow, but in front of them, all this had happened.

If we use four words to describe the situation encountered by the Seleu cavalry at this time, it would probably be impossible to get out of the army. We didn't think that we could destroy the two arrow towers in any trouble. Now that we have been delayed for so long without any effect at all, we have to say that the generals of Seleu were very angry.

"General, my Qin crossbow of Qin is really a powerful weapon for the country!" Peng Yue was quite happy to see Qin crossbow's amazing performance.

"I would like to thank you and Zhang Kai for this matter! If Zhang Kai had not, the Qin crossbows before could not reach such a range. The enemy generals seemed to have to take the next step. They would pass the orders and prepare to leave the city at all times. They would never leave the soldiers on the arrow tower there and ignore them!"

What will happen next? In fact, Meng Tian was already a little clear about it. He knew that it was impossible to fight a tough battle in the face of such an enemy. When it was time to fight, he had to fight head-on.

Although the frontal force between the cavalry and the cavalry will cause relatively large casualties, the benefits are obvious to Meng Tian, ​​that is, they can let the opponent truly see his strength. Compared with the sneak attack by Peng Yue and Long Qi, if he can achieve such a result on the frontal battlefield, if the enemy meets you on the frontal battlefield next time, he will be afraid that he will be sure.

"Huh! How scary is it to be a mere crossbow? You will take the 20,000 people under your command to attack the city. Just go to the city gate at full speed and get under the arrow tower, and you will naturally take it down!"

If you don’t have a few hundred people, then 20,000 people will definitely be enough. The general of Seliu is obviously not bad. No matter how powerful your archer in Daqin is, you will be unable to do it if I go there too many people. This is obviously a combat method of officially killing the master's chasing.

"Well... The general of Seliu is still a little capable. He didn't even rush to our city like a swarm, leaving some room for himself." Meng Tian looked at the solution of the general of Seliu from afar on the city, and nodded slightly and said.

"Then should I set out to attack the 20,000 troops?"

"Of course, they did it right, but the premise is that we only have 50,000 or 60,000 people in this city. They don't know that we have 100,000 people in this city, and they don't know that there are 30,000 cavalry ambushing in the woods not far away. Just these two points are enough to make them pay a heavy price. Pass the order, and when the enemy attacks under the arrow tower, our army will leave the city according to the previous plan!"

These are all the combat plans that Meng Tian had arranged before. At this time, the three city gates were all the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. They held their weapons tightly and waited for the moment when the city gate opened.

A general of Seleu, with his 20,000 troops, headed straight to the city gate. Of course, before reaching the city gate, their primary task was to destroy the two annoying arrow towers.

But just as they ran towards the arrow tower, they could only hear a squeak. The city gate opened in response to the sound. The black area inside was covered with Daqin cavalry wearing black armor. They were holding long black weapons in their hands, full of solemnity.
