Chapter 68: The Empress’s three arrows, night attack martial arts! Qian Xiong raised his arms and shouted proudly, "The Qi army is just so-so. Back then, they were beaten by us and dared not come out. They are still like this now. Hahahaha!"All the Liang soldiers excitedly raised their spears and cheered at the same time. On the other hand, the Qi army looked ugly and their general was injured, which inevitably damaged the morale of the Qi army. At this moment, a horse neighed, a white horse in military uniform had its hair flying, and a red robe was billowing in the wind. The empress bent her bow and drew her arrow, and with a whoosh, a cold light flashed in the air. Whoosh! Qian Xiong's eyes suddenly widened. He saw it. He saw the arrow coming, but it was too fast and he had no time to dodge! "drink!" But after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield. Qian Xiong roared, and tried his best to block his arms in front of his body before the arrow arrived, and mobilized all his internal strength for defense. click! A slight sound of breaking sounded in Qian Xiong's ears. The cheers of the Daliang army had not yet died down, but Qian Xiong's heart was already filled with despair. He knew that his life had come to an end! Whoosh! The arrow shattered Qian Xiong's internal strength, then pierced through his arms that were blocking his body, and finally broke out of his body after crushing his heart, and hit the city wall of Wugong City with a trace of blood! The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor! The empress pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and raised its two front hooves high. The empress's body seemed to be fixed on the horse's back and rose backwards with the horse, while she bent her bow and drew her arrow again. Whoosh! Before the Daliang army could react, the black flagpole representing Daliang on the tower of Wugong City was shot down by an arrow. Click... creak... The flag flying high in the sky had not yet landed when it was hit by its third arrow! With a faint purple color, this arrow tore apart the flag of Daliang and also shattered the morale of the Daliang defenders! "Whoa!" The empress reined in her horse and stood in front of the army, holding high the longbow in her hand. Without saying a word, the thousands of soldiers behind her had already spontaneously shouted: "King Qi is mighty! King Qi is mighty! King Qi is mighty!..."
In just a few breaths, without even giving the Liang army a chance to react, their general was shot dead on the top of the city wall! Even their Daliang army flag was shattered, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the morale of the Liang army. "Can we really stop this kind of person?" The hand of a Daliang soldier holding the spear was even trembling slightly. Even soldiers who had experienced fighting would be afraid and tremble when encountering such an archer. chap! A long sword chopped off the soldier who was speaking just now. Qian Xiong's deputy general shouted slowly with a cold face: "Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be killed!" "No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. Haven't you killed such a master before? Does he dare to charge into the city alone? He doesn't dare! Then what do you have to be afraid of?" Although the deputy general said this, he still looked at Qian Xiong's body with lingering fear. That man, whether he was the King of Qi or the Empress, was undoubtedly a top-notch master in the world! The deputy general's words did have a certain effect. These Daliang soldiers were murderers who would not blink an eye. They all knew that if they lost their composure, they would only die faster. No one who could stand on the top of the city was a fool. No matter what the reason was, they would always try their best to survive. In this chaotic world, survival was undoubtedly their ultimate goal. "Siege!" The empress shouted coldly, and the first to take action were the catapults in the Qi army. The stones that were poured with kerosene and ignited made crackling sounds in the flames. More than a dozen shirtless soldiers pulled down the ropes, and in an instant, the burning stones flew towards the walls of Wugong City. After the first round of catapults was launched, the Qi army pressed forward immediately, with shield soldiers in front, covering the siege ladders and siege rams. This siege ladder is not a ladder in movies and TV dramas, which can be overturned by soldiers on the city wall. Under the ladder is a wide wooden board with six wheels, and armor is nailed around the wooden board. The main ladder is fixed on the wooden board, and there is a hook on the top of the main ladder that can be hooked on the city wall. When the soldiers charge the city, there is also a secondary ladder. The first soldier to climb the city wall and survive after the siege is praised as one of the highest honors for ancient soldiers. As for the siege ram, it is also called a siege tower. It has a total of five floors and is protected by armor on all sides. There is a huge wooden log on the bottom floor used to hit the city gate. When the soldiers approach the city gate, dozens of soldiers will push the huge log to hit the city gate. "Fire arrows!" At a command from the deputy general of Wugong City, the Liang army defending the city immediately bent their bows and drew their arrows. In a war, the most consumed things are undoubtedly bows and arrows. This kind of long-range lethal weapon is undoubtedly the most important supply for defending the city. Of course, boulders and wooden planks were also used by the Liang army against the vanguard army of Qi State. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Arrows rained down like rain, and countless lives were immediately swallowed up by the battlefield. Blood soaked the land, smoke rose up, and the first siege ladder arrived at the wall of Wugong City, boom! With the combined strength of dozens of soldiers, the ladder hit the city wall hard. Immediately, Qi soldiers with shields and daggers rushed up the ladder. One soldier fell, then two soldiers fell, then three... four... until someone climbed up to the city wall, and it was time for hand-to-hand combat! Click! Some soldiers were lifted up by spears and fell off the city wall, splashing the last bloody flower of their lives. With a sizzle, a long knife entered the soldier's stomach and his intestines were stirred out. At this time, there were also military masters who tried to use their own martial arts to carve out a niche, but facing the densely packed spears all around, unless they possessed absolute power, even if they had the power of a minor star, they would only end up in failure in the northwest. The siege lasted for a full hour, but the Liang soldiers were tenacious, and this test attack did not directly break through the defense line on the Liang army's tower. The empress looked at the setting sun, waved her hand and said lightly: "Sound the horn to call off the troops, rest today, and fight again tomorrow." "It's worthy of being an army that has been tempered through life and death." Fan Yintian, who was also dressed in military uniform, said with his arms folded.
Miao Chengtian smiled slightly and said, "That's it. After tonight, it will just be another layer of flesh and blood on this land." At this time, Ji Ruxue and Lu Linxuan, who were wearing leather armor, also came over. Ji Ruxue said calmly, "We are ready. Today's feint attack has probably found out the weak points of the Liang army's defense. If we start at Yin hour, there will be no mistakes." Lu Linxuan paused and suggested, "Why don't we send someone to test it at night? What if those weak points were left intentionally by the Liang army? All is fair in war, so we should make another plan." Fan Yintian looked at Lu Linxuan with some surprise and said with a smile: "Little girl, you know a lot." Ji Ruxue said softly: "Her master is the thirty-sixth captain of the Bad People. With Li Xingyun as her senior brother, she won't be too far behind." (End of this chapter)
