Chapter 407 (2/2)

In this way, the most important thing for the siegers is that the defeat of the first siege may cause low morale in the army, and it is impossible to attack again immediately.

Therefore, this is why, in the siege war, the generals who defend the city often need to have a keen sense of the battlefield. Based on their own experience, they can find out whether the battle is a feint attack or a real attack of the enemy, so as to choose the virtual or real strength of their garrison forces.For siegers, the probability of raiding a city is just like winning the lottery in the previous world. Often, the probability of surprise attack and surprise attack is very high. Half true and half fake siege is used most, but the probability of success is not very high.

After missing the enemy's first advantage after retreating into the city and based on unstable and chaotic military morale, the difficulty of the next attack will increase exponentially with the passage of time.

The sound of horns and drums The drums with nodes but not in accordance with the conventional percussion, along with the whimpering of horns, sounded at the bottom of Anshi city. During the siege, in addition to serving as an order to attack, it was also aimed at disturbing the mentality of the enemy soldiers guarding the city and causing their buoyancy and irritability.

As Li Hong guessed, a large number of Dodgers were placed in the front row. In the battle, there were rhythmic bloodthirsty shouts, and a row of soldiers with bright helmets and shining armor, like waves, slowly poured down to Anshi city.

On the city wall, after the Tang army's bugles sounded, they scrambled to ring. The city throwing was also in a panic. Some rolling stones, rolling logs, bows and crossbows suddenly appeared at the crenels of the city tower, shouting a tone that Li Hong could not understand. His eyes were ferocious at the wave of people attacking the city below, waiting for the enemy to enter the range Start shooting.

Li Hong, who just received the sniper crossbow from Xue Rengui again, set up the sniper crossbow like a sniper gun of the previous generation under the gaze of some civil servants behind him. The heavy, hard and cold sniper crossbow makes people wake up from the earth shaking cry.

The sniper crossbow in his hand did not move, as if it had been fixed on Li Hong's arms. Hai Dongqing on his shoulder flapped his wings uneasily when the war drum just sounded. He felt that the master had no fear at all. Then he was quiet and stood on Li Hong's shoulder, looking at the dense soldiers like the tide from time to time The arrow that first shot down from the head of the city.

”Hum...” In front of Li Hong's eyes came a burst of heavy bowstring, which broke the air.

The arrow, like a black lightning bolt, left a shadow in front of everyone, and then disappeared.

In less than a breath, a small general who was commanding the garrison of Anshi city felt that his chest was burning with heat. He looked down and saw that the tail of an arrow was still shaking in the air. Then he slowly raised his head and looked down.

Then the whole person fell down from the head of the city like weightlessness. Suddenly, because of the rapid fall of the corpse, it hit the ground with a thick bang. After a burst of dust, it did not move.

With Li Hong shooting out the first arrow, the sniper crossbow hidden in the dark shot out sharp arrows as fast as lightning. On the wall, like scattered dumplings, more than ten corpses began to fall down.

On the top of the city, when I watched several soldiers fall under the city, I didn't pay attention to them in panic. The reason was that the city wall was too crowded and pushed my own people down. I didn't take it seriously.

But when an arrow brushed his helmet, he knew that the enemy had such a strong archer. They could shoot at such a distance! This is no less than the archer with the same judgment as black tooth Chang.

The general, who was frightened out of a cold sweat, immediately lowered his body, touched his cheek with a conditional launch of one hand. When his hand touched some hot places on the side of his helmet, he could not help but sit on the ground. How powerful is it to be able to shoot such a long distance and powerful arrow!

Li Hong frowned. The importance of these dozens of sniping crossbows is self-evident. In a short period of time, no less than 50 or 60 corpses were left in the city. This short-term chaos also helped Xue Rengui, who attacked the city, to get close to the city wall.

With waves of troops approaching the city, the ladder was immediately erected on the wall of the city. Some of them were pushed away by the enemy as soon as they were erected.

Some of them were still standing still for a long time, and even no one was in charge of the attack ladder. This shows that in the limited defense of the enemy, their generals have not seen whether the Tang army really wants to attack the city, or is it just a feint to test the strength of the defense.

The black arrows continue to cross the air and shoot more intensively at the head of the city with the sound of breaking through the air. Although the accuracy is much worse than at the beginning, at least after the dense arrow, the enemy has to guard against the cold arrows in the dark when defending, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the siege troops to attack the city.
