Chapter 152 (1/2)
At night, the wind is stronger. The torch on the wall of the dawn is swaying in the wind, like a ghost fire. Although it emits light, it can't illuminate the surrounding environment.
Although there will be a guard on the wall every ten meters, on the surface, they seem to turn their backs and resist the cold night wind with their backs. The whole dawn city is cold.
However, all this is just an illusion. In fact, it's just the scenery seen from outside the city. If you look inside the city, the scene will be completely different. It's a sleepless night!
60000 slave archers and 10000 regular slave soldiers, all holding long bows, are densely arranged in the channels in the city wall. Only when the enemy begins to attack, the arrow net laid by 70000 archers, even gods, can't want to wear it.
Finally, under the shadow of the night, the bandit army rushed to the front of the city wall one after another. 100 meters away, no sentry was sent, but after finishing the formation slightly, the 100000 bandit army began to sprint at full speed.
The reason why we don't send someone to investigate is to avoid alerting the snake. If we want to go up to the city wall and check the movement in the city, it's impossible not to disturb the guards on the city wall. Once the guards are alerted and the dawn is ready, the consequences are hard to say.
Moreover, in the same sentence, the thief army is the king of the night. It is not afraid of failure. What about defeat? Under the cover of the night, they can retreat safely. As for the dawn longbow, can they see people in such a dark night?
All thieves know that someone must die here, but everyone believes that that person will not be himself. This is not only the confidence in his own strength, but also the contempt for the dawn Longbow hand.
”Whew!” Just when all the thieves were about to step into the range of 50 meters, a red flame, like a fire dragon, soared up from the ground and flew hundreds of meters before it exploded in mid air and exploded into a brilliant glow!
”Creak... Creak... Creak...” facing the strange flame, all the thieves looked up in doubt. At this time, there was a numbing sound of bows and strings, which shocked all the thieves.
Yes, although the longbowmen can't aim at the enemy at all under the shadow of the night, you know, the dawn longbowmen can not aim with their eyes. They can fully grasp the regional arrow rain coverage attack through long-term exercises.
According to Soga's order, Duomei and others monitored the enemy everywhere. Once a large number of enemies entered 50 meters in front of the city wall, they immediately sent a signal. As long as the signal is together, the dawn army can start carpet shooting on the ground in front of the dawn city!
”Woo...” with the creaking sound of the bow string and the bow arm, the next moment... In a burst of sad sobs, the thieves in front only felt that the night seemed to suddenly darken a lot, and then they were in severe pain. When they understood what was going on, they had at least five or six refined steel arrows inserted into them. After being hit by such a blow, they couldn't live at all.
In front of the 10000 meter wall, it was almost filled with 70000 refined steel arrows. As for the thieves in the arrow rain line, there were countless deaths and injuries. It was impossible to count the results of the war in the dark.
Listening to the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling outside the city, the slave soldiers in the city were not moved at all. Everyone here has not been on the battlefield for the first time. Everyone knows that this is not a charity. Everything we do is just trying to survive. If we are not cruel to the enemy, we are cruel to ourselves!
After a series of actions, the arrow rain began to shoot out into the night outside the city from near to far. With each wave of arrow rain, there would be a sad cry outside the city, without exception.
Although, due to the first night shooting, some people can't shoot their heads, but it doesn't matter. From 50 meters in front of the city wall to 300 meters, there are all thieves. The thieves behind are still stepping into the death line. Although there is a scream on the front line, what is an army man? It is absolutely not allowed to retreat without an order!
There are too many enemies, too dense. The dawn longbowmen are basically shooting at birds. Can't see what's wrong? Random shooting can also be shot. Anyway, there is not much else in the dawn, that is, there are many arrows. One can only shoot 1000 arrows. The problem is that 10 million arrows are enough to spread several layers of the ground within the range. Even if they are buried, they can bury the enemy.
Finally, after all the dawn longbowmen shot the 20th batch of arrows and rain, there were no other voices outside the city except howls and groans. Because it was night, no one knew the outcome of the war. Only during the day.
When the last howl gradually went out, the sky was slightly bright. Under the irradiation of the dawn, the whole dawn city was like Shura hell, covered with black bodies and black red blood, which dyed the scarlet in front of the dawn city. People wanted to vomit in the pungent smell.
In the city Lord's house, Soga sat there calmly and listened to Duomei's report. In the battle last night, only more than 30000 thieves who participated in the night attack escaped successfully, and the other 70000 thieves stayed in front of dawn city forever.
Soga is still very satisfied with such results. Although he did not completely wipe out the enemy, it is good to have such results in the dark. You know, the dawn has not damaged a soldier after the war for so long!
Up to now, in the second dawn campaign, the dawn army has eliminated 100000 enemy troops, including 10000 shield vehicle soldiers, 20000 knife shield soldiers and 70000 thieves, accounting for one third of the enemy's total military strength.
However, Soga didn't dare to be careless at all. He knew very well that those who died in the war were just ordinary troops of the enemy. The main force of the Ostu army that really frightened Soga didn't move at all.
After the first world war last night, the thieves' alliance was basically crippled. From now on, the battle here has basically become a war between dawn and osdor. As for the thieves' alliance, after losing 70000 absolute main forces, it can no longer pose a threat to dawn. It must also be wary of the aspirations of the dawn army. Now they can only pray, Pray that the army of osdor can capture the dawn.
Inside the barracks, kaluta and the Allied leader were sitting there with a livid face. Kaluta was fine. The Allied leader obviously lost his spirit and his face was full of depression and loss. He really couldn't understand why the enemy could be so powerful. He even regarded 100000 rogue troops as nothing and killed them in rout in the dark. I'm afraid the rogue alliance can't be maintained.
However, although the main force has lost, he will never admit defeat. As long as the dawn is eliminated, everything is not a problem. After having a site, recruiting and buying horses can soon develop again.
The most important thing is that the real experts of the thief alliance have not been dispatched at all. 180 thief groups, each group has recommended an expert to fight. These experts are definitely powerful guys who can stand alone. Now... It's probably time to use them.
While thinking, the Allied leader slowly raised his head and said in a low voice: ”Lord karuta. I think... Next, we can't continue our strong attack. The defensive power of the dawn army is really too strong. If we continue to rush like this, no matter how many troops there are, it won't be enough for the dawn to kill. ”
”En...” nodded deeply, and Kalu agreed: ”yes, we should focus on sleepiness, and then combined with provocation and leader war. As long as the dawn is relaxed, a large number of our experts will rush up the city wall and control a section of the city wall. In this way, we will win the battle!”
”That's right...” the Allied leader said darkly with his eyes shining brightly: ”starting from the day tomorrow, we will take turns to send our generals to challenge them and spend a long time with them. Once the dawn is relaxed and paralyzed, we will send absolute experts to control a section of the city wall, and then take this section of the city wall as a gap to capture the dawn!”
