I’m The King Chapter 652: : Blizzard and Snowstorm (4)

Three thousand iron cavalry rushed out of the camp in a dense manner, and outside the range of the crossbow, they lined up neatly. The sound of war drums was loud, and more than a dozen riders came out. All of them held chain hammers in their hands. On the long iron chain, a hammer the size of a watermelon with inverted teeth was whistling on top of Donghu Bing's head. With a loud noise, he ran to the obstacle, shouted sharply, and the chain hammer flew out steeply, hitting heavily on the topmost ice and snow mound, and with a bang, the upper half of the snow mound was gone. . , with you all the way!

Around the wrist, the chain hammer flew back backwards, and the Donghu soldier circled a small arc in front of countless obstacles, and flew past. Behind him, more than ten other people followed the same pattern. , Under the fortress, there was a rumbling sound, one after another hard ice and snow mounds, under the bombardment of the chain hammer, turned into ice chips on the ground.

"Xiao Haizi!" Song Hongxin shouted, "Roll call!"

"Okay!" Xiao Haizi on the watchtower happily agreed, stood up straight, and lifted a strong bow beside him. Different from ordinary people's bows, this bow is obviously Xiao Haizi's only one. Some things are slightly larger than the standard longbow in the army. Standing steadily with both feet one in front of the other, holding the bow in the left hand and tying the string in the right hand, the bow is like a full moon, and an armor-piercing arrow pierces through the air in the eyes of countless people, tearing through the wind and snow.

An Eastern Hu soldier smashed an ice mound with a chain hammer. Just as he retracted the long chain, an armor-piercing arrow arrived unexpectedly. Leather armor, a few snowflakes suddenly appeared in the air, the cavalry fell back and fell from the horse.

"Okay!" Thunderous cheers erupted from the city wall.

Xiao Haizi is not very old, but he is a famous sharpshooter in this army. Before joining the army, he was a hunter in the mountains. The longbow in his hand is also a family heirloom, which is stronger than the standard bow in the army. More importantly, it is something that Xiao Haizi has used for many years. Haizi's energy was much higher when holding this bow than when he was holding other longbows.

Above this distance, the gun crossbow and arm tension crossbow can be easily reached, but the opponent only has more than a dozen horsemen and horses. Unless you use a covering strike, it is difficult to shoot down the opponent, but it is also difficult to shoot like this. It's too wasteful, and the rest of the soldiers, if they shoot at this distance, ten arrows will be empty, not to mention that the opponent is still moving quickly, even if they stand still, they may not be able to shoot.

But allowing the opponent to destroy the obstacles under the fort one by one and just watch, it would hurt the morale of his troops too much. Song Hongxin is very glad that he has a sharpshooter like Xiao Haizi under his command, Such people are not common in the military. Although only one person can be shot down at a time, the shock given to the enemy is no worse than that of the previous few days.

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Xiao Haizi's face flushed, he let out a breath, and shot two more arrows, the arrows sounded and he fell down, leaving behind the corpses of two Donghu soldiers under the fortress.

The morale of the Donghu cavalry who had rushed forward to attack the ice mound before could not help but slow down, and their speed also involuntarily slowed down. Some cavalry put away their chain hammers, opened their bows and set arrows, and fired back at the top of the city tower. However, they shot from the bottom up, and the wind in the air was also strong. The cavalry bow itself was softer than the infantry bow, and the arrow flew to the top of the city. When there were a few meters away, he had already pushed down powerlessly.

There was laughter again from the top of the city, but this time, it was ridicule.

Shooting three arrows in a row, Xiao Haizi's face was flushed, and he was panting obviously. He put down the longbow in his hand, and he gently rubbed the muscles of his right arm.

"Xiao Haizi, shoot, shoot again, at the critical moment, you can't wither!" Underneath, Huzi bared his teeth and clawed loudly.

Xiao Haizi responded with a wry smile. It was snowing heavily today. Above this distance, he had to draw the bow to its full capacity, and then calculate the wind speed and other factors affecting the arrows. He shot three arrows in a row. His right arm was already sore. , he usually only drives for half a month, but today's distance has to be full.

"Beard, don't talk nonsense, you think it's just an ordinary soft bow, you can open it as many times as you want!" Song Hongxin shouted, "Let Xiao Haizi take a break."

Huzi blinked his eyes and thought for a while, "I'll rub him!" He ran to the bottom of the watchtower, climbed up like an ape, and rubbed Xiao Haizi's shoulders and arms attentively. .

Xiao Haizi felt the extraordinary enthusiasm of the beard, looked at the expectant eyes of all the people in the city, and then looked at the Donghu cavalry who started to rampage again, gritted his teeth, and raised his longbow again.

The sound of howling arrows sounded again, after three arrows passed, only two people were shot down, while the other arrow flew away.

Xiao Haizi glanced at Huzi apologetically, "Huzi, I really can't do it."

"Five, five!" Hu Zi stretched out a big slap and waved in front of Xiao Haizi, "That's pretty good."

"Xiao Haizi, don't force yourself, rest, don't shoot, anyway, it's impossible to stop the opponent from clearing the obstacles, I still count on you to show your power next, don't get hurt." shouted.

Without the threat of the opponent's sharpshooter, the speed of clearing obstacles became faster and faster. The lower head was also smashed, and I couldn't help spitting in annoyance.

In the distance, under the banner of Mo Yandu, a general dressed in Donghu general's costume, but his face is obviously from the Central Plains. The archer can't shoot a few arrows, so the threat is not great, but the next step is to enter the effective range of the opponent's crossbow arrows. General Mo Yandu sent shield soldiers forward to cover the brigade, and cleaned up the remaining soldiers as quickly as possible. Get in the way!"

"Okay!" Mo Yandu turned around without the slightest hesitation, and immediately ordered a few words.

The so-called big shield is actually that Mo Yandu sent people to cut down countless big trees and nailed them together one by one to make them look like door panels. On the back of this door panel, there are wooden sticks nailed one after another, and several Donghu soldiers firmly grasped such sticks, propped up the door panels one by one, and strode forward. Behind them, a large number The Donghu soldiers who got off their horses followed closely with hammers in their hands.

"The tortoise son has learned to be smart!" Song Hongxin murmured. "**Crossbow preparation, first tear off those broken door panels for me, and the second round of the crossbow is ready. Be quick, slow down, and those rotten door panels will be propped up again. This thing is worthless, how much does it cost? , how much they can get."

The screaming crossbow fell from the top of the city, and with just one piece, it tore the thick wooden planks hastily nailed together from the joints. The place where the wooden shield was broken was completely covered by the crossbow arrows, and the sound of screams was endless.

Amidst the incessant screams, the Donghu soldiers below the city also started to fight back, one after another feathered arrows flew up to the top of the city, not very accurate, but still formed a suppression on the city, forcing The soldiers in the city no longer dared to unscrupulously expose their upper body from the cover, and the shooting of crossbow arrows inevitably exposed gaps.

The sound of rumbling was endless, and obstacles one after another were quickly destroyed during the flying of the arrows. Those densely packed ice and snow mounds all turned into crushed ice all over the place.

The general next to Mo Yanduo showed a smile on his face, "General, you can withdraw people back, step forward with a ranger, quickly run around the wall of the village, try to suppress the opponent's long-range attack, and put our * * Push the crossbow closer and bombard it. When the cavalry is running around the village, they must try their best to observe the gaps in the opponent's defense. Although the village is strong, there are only more than a hundred soldiers stationed there. The opponent's defense must be focused. When you hit the key point, immediately launch a shot to affect the opponent's defense."

Mo Yandu obeyed the general's words, turned his head and said to Gu Jili beside him: "Gu Jili, with you leading the army, follow what General Li said."

Hundreds of cavalry, led by Gu Jili, galloped around the small stockade at high speed, drawing bows and shooting while galloping at high speed, which is the strength of Donghu cavalry. It's enough to cause damage. In the village, there are only more than a hundred soldiers, and if one is injured, the combat effectiveness will be reduced by one point.

"Aim at the opponent's crossbow and destroy them for me!" Song Hongxin shouted loudly on the city. The wall causes damage. Every time you shoot, you can knock down a large piece of ice wall. If you hit too much, the outer ice and snow armor will be stripped off. The strength of the inner wall itself is not high. A single strike within a hundred steps is enough to penetrate the wall of the village.

When it comes to the accuracy and speed of shooting, the crossbows of Zhengdong Army are obviously better. One after another, Donghu crossbows were shot at each other, and they were scattered by the city, turning into There are ruins all over the place, but it is obvious that Mo Yandu's army has a lot of this kind of crossbow, and they don't feel sorry for the loss.

Gu Jili flew back and bowed to Mo Yanduo: "General, I found the opponent's weakness. It is at the northeast corner of the wall. It seems to be the highest and most dangerous place, but the counterattack is the weakest."

"General Li, what do you think?" Mo Yandu glanced at Gu Jili, and said with a smile, "The place that looks weakest may not necessarily be the weakest, maybe it's the enemy's trap there, So General Mo Yanduo, I mean, do the opposite and storm the southwest corner.”

Gu Jili glanced at General Li disapprovingly, "There are so many things to say, we have attacked the southwest corner before, but suffered a lot of losses, we just need to concentrate all the crossbows and attack Bomb the northeast corner, break the ice wall outside, and the village will not be able to hold on."

Mo Yandu looked at General Li, General Li smiled, and said: "General Mo Yandu, today our temptations are enough, why don't we stop here and come back tomorrow."

"How can it be delayed until tomorrow!" Gu Jili yelled, "After a while, the enemy can thicken their ice wall again, and our efforts today will be in vain."

"General Gujili, attack today, can you break the city?" General Li responded with a smile.

Gu Jili was stunned, and shook his head, "I can't guarantee, this village is just a **** hedgehog, it sticks tight."

"Then I can guarantee that tomorrow, I will break through this stronghold." General Li said confidently.

After hearing this, Mo Yandu nodded, and said auspiciously to the bone: "Retreat~IndoMTL.com~General Mo Yandu, before we retreat, we have to do one more thing. Destroy that watchtower." The general pointed to the towering watchtower, and said: "All our actions can be seen there at a glance. If it is destroyed, the enemy will be blind, and it will be difficult for them to guess what we do."

Mo Yandu smiled, "That's easy, come here, gather all the crossbows, aim at the watchtower, and blow him down for me."

The enemy is retreating. Although Song Hongxin is a little puzzled, today's battle can only be regarded as an attempt. Is the enemy looking for his own loopholes? This makes him a little uneasy, but the enemy's retreat is of course a good thing. I lasted for another day, anyway, the left and right were just soldiers coming to block, and the water was spitting and flooding.

Groups of Donghu soldiers retreated back, and when they retreated nearly 200 steps, the gathered Donghu soldiers suddenly dispersed, revealing the crossbow that was previously covered by the formation, and Song Hongxin saw the black mass **The arrow raised by the crossbow was aiming at the direction, and the color turned pale in shock, "Xiao Haizi, come down quickly!"

The sound of humming was continuous, hundreds of crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm flew into the sky, and the target was the highest watchtower in the village, and this was the only place that was not wrapped in snow and ice armor. P
