Chapter 82 (1/2)
”Two thousand versus fifty thousand?” Chen Ren fell into a deep thought. Although he successfully rescued Yuzhang City, the crisis was still not lifted. The enemy had 50000 troops. If he still surrounded the city on all sides as it is today, there would be only hundreds of people on each side of the city wall, but at least 12000 people would have to bear the attack.
”Yes! Today you are guarding the city. Can you see the way of Shanyue attacking the city? ” Chen Ren asked.
The general said scornfully, ”how to attack the city? These barbarians did not know how to attack the city at all. They all rushed to the city, suppressed the garrison at the head of the city with bows and arrows, and then climbed up the wall. However, their bows and arrows are sharp. Our garrison is not prepared for his bow and arrow attack, so many people will be lost! ”
Chen Ren nodded. Although Shanyue had no siege weapons, they grew up in the mountains, and their climbing ability was absolutely superb. Moreover, the city walls of this era could not be as smooth as those of later generations. They were rugged, so they were easy to climb. Chen Ren thought about it and asked several questions. There was no way out. The enemy occupied an absolute advantage. If he could not guide the interests according to the situation, it was only a matter of time before the city of Yuzhang was attacked.
In the early morning of the next day, the battle flute of Shanyue rang again. Chen Ren, Bao Bao and Yuzhang general all came to the head of the city at the same time. In the Shanyue camp not far away, the heads of the mountain Yue army were oppressed. However, compared with yesterday, the formation of the Shanyue army was too chaotic, and there was no basic organization. What's more, Chen Ren and others were surprised that the mountain Yue army was attacking this intact wall.
Immediately, Chen Ren ordered the garrison of the other three walls and other city guarding equipment to be moved here. He made a gesture to the general. The general and Bao Bao ordered at the same time, and immediately led the 400 garrison troops who had been stationed on the wall to pour a pot of black liquid on the top of the city to the bottom of the wall.
Looking at the Shan Yue army who was gradually approaching Yuzhang City, Chen Ren unconsciously remembered Xie's face, who had died miserably yesterday. When his face was cold, he directly grabbed the bow and arrow from one of the defenders around him. He bent his bow and built the arrow. He aimed at the archer who was in front of Shanyue and shot the arrow out. Before the arrow hit the enemy, Chen Ren's right hand slipped, and an arrow fell on the bow and shot out in a flash.
At this time, the first arrow just hit the target, and the powerful force shot back the archer of Shanyue who was struggling to sprint forward. After a while, the archers would shoot all the arrows in Chen's hand.
”Good!” Chen Ren's archery really inspired the morale of the garrison. Yuzhang city is also a big city. The supply of archery and other defense equipment can be described as sufficient. After Chen Ren shot the box of arrows, his anger still could not be eliminated. He immediately extended his right hand to the garrison on one side. Chen Ren had to continue. Naturally, those garrisons would like to see Chen Ren's magical skills again, and they sent the arrow boxes in their waists to Chen Ren.
With the sound of bows and bows, an arrow flew out and took away the life of a mountain Yue soldier. However, the mountain Yue soldiers had no way. They did not have the abnormal arm strength of Chen Ren. They could shoot so far with ordinary bows and arrows. All they could do was to run forward desperately. As long as they ran within the range, they could fight back against the city 。
Unfortunately, Chen Ren will not let these mountain crossing archers reach the attack range so easily. With yesterday's experience, the general told Chen Ren about the range of mountain crossing archers. Although the ability of these mountain crossing archers is much better than that of the garrison archers. However, in the siege, it is always the defenders who have the advantage.
”Shoot!” However, this order was not given by Chen Ren. The guard general who had personally experienced the mountain crossing attack yesterday was more suitable for mastering this discretion than Chen Ren.
Sure enough, the arrows shot from the head of the city just hit the Shanyue archer who had stepped into the range. Although the garrison did not have the abnormal arm strength as Chen Ren, the mountain and Yue soldiers hardly had any armor protection. After being hit by the arrow, they immediately lost their combat ability.
At this time, the other three walls of the garrison also arrived one after another, under the command of the general, one after another formed a formation, bent their bows and arrows, and fired at the enemy under the city.
Just like the straw that was harvested, the mountain soldiers fell on the ground one by one. Of course, not all of them lost their lives, but because of this, the mountain Yue soldiers who still had their lives were lying on the ground with their wounds in their arms and made a shrill wail, which made their original firm heart shake.
Despite this, the mountain and Yue army, with a large number of advantages, crossed the area they regarded as the death line. All the archers were overjoyed when they rushed through the rain of arrows in Yuzhang city. They were just ready to bend their bows and build their arrows. Suddenly, their feet slipped and fell down.
