Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 263 Nanyang City Slope
Chapter 263 Nanyang City Slope
Chen Yu rode on the horse, quietly observing Nanyang City in front of him.

A frontal charge will inevitably lead to heavy casualties. Although they have left behind, the most important thing is the last hundred steps.

"You all come here." Chen Yu suddenly said.

"The last general is here!" A group of school lieutenants came out one after another, clasped their fists and bowed.

"Lead a thousand cavalry on the left wing and attack with arrows at a distance of a hundred paces. Remember not to rush in. Be careful of the enemy's strong crossbows. Your purpose is to harass."

The two lieutenants on the left retreated back.

"The right wing led a thousand cavalry, imitating the tactics of the left wing, remembering to kill the enemy second, the key is to cover the main force."

Arranged properly, the remaining enemy cavalry suddenly fell into the darkness again and disappeared outside the city, and the sound of horseshoes became farther and farther away.

Not long after, the two cavalry lined up and slowly approached the camp.

Dayingqian's horse rejection posts and horse pits are distributed within fifty steps, and beyond fifty steps there is a flat river without any obstacles or traps.

Looking at the enemies in front of him, a trace of melancholy flashed across Wang Jian's face.

He didn't care about these enemy troops, what he was worried about was the disappearing enemy troops.

"He Dong, Zhang Chun, you two immediately lead the army to defend the other two walls. If there is an enemy attack, even if you die on the battlefield, you must not let the enemy enter Nanyang." Wang Jian immediately ordered.

"promise!"

Both He Dong and Zhang Chun are old people around Wang Jian, and they both understand Wang Jian's temper.Without waiting for a rest, he led his soldiers to the east and west walls.

Although there were originally 2000 people staying here, there was a lack of warriors. Now that they joined, everything became more secure.

The enemy troops under the city quickly dispersed after approaching the city wall area.

Each knight held in his hand a great bow full of flaming rockets.

Seeing the rocket, Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked left and right and said: "On the left and right, the archers are ready to attack, and the infantry are ready to put out the fire."

There are flammable objects everywhere on the city walls. Once they are shot by rockets, if they cannot be extinguished in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although worried, Wang Jian was not impatient.

Because even if the 2000 enemy troops posed only a slight threat, it was obvious that their purpose was to attract their own attention.

Soon the [-] Wei cavalrymen under the city had already approached the city wall a hundred steps away, all their strong bows were drawn up, but they never put them down, and the archers of the Qin army on the city wall had already launched the first attack.

However, the Wei cavalry on their horses were very scattered and galloped like the wind, and there were very few people who were hit by arrows.

Eighty steps!
Seventy steps!
Seeing that these cavalrymen were about to hit the outermost horse-rejecting posts.

"Boom!"

There was a sound, and a large number of rockets flew directly into the air, falling on the tower like countless bright fireballs.

After shooting the rockets in their hands, the archers yanked the reins fiercely, and the horses under their crotches also bent slightly, and quickly turned and left the battlefield.

"Shoot me!" Wang Jian ordered fiercely without being moved.

The sounds of bows and crossbows were also heard from the towers on the left and right sides.

Because the distance was too close, countless arrows fell from the horses in the Wei army.

At this time, Wang Jian discovered that the arrows shot by the Wei army were obviously specially made, not to mention the long range, and the tung oil was used as the fire starter, which caused the arrows to burn quickly after being hit.

Although there are water sources in the city, there are also isolation zones to prevent fires.

But now it is winter, the wells are dry, and the speed of getting water is obviously much slower.But fortunately, there are many of them, and the work will be completed quickly and smoothly.

And those Wei cavalry who completed the first wave of attack did not flee directly, but suddenly turned around and came back.

Wang Jian immediately understood the intentions of these Wei troops.

They just wanted to wear down the arrows in the city. As long as they lost their arrows, they would be like a tiger without its teeth. At that time, they could only be slaughtered by the enemy.

But Wang Jian is not stupid. When he knows the other party's intentions, it is impossible for him to fall into the other party's arms.

The crossbow in his hand was shot down a while ago, but the crossbows in the hands of two-thirds of the soldiers were still full of arrows. As long as the enemy dared to approach, he could let them go without returning.

The cavalry returned again, another round of rockets.Most of the rockets landed on the wooden fence outside the city, and the fence burned quickly, but fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly and threw soil from the city to completely extinguish the fire.It's just that this method makes the wood that has been brittle by fire break quickly.

Wei Jun didn't seem to be discouraged at all. After the second wave returned, the third wave attacked again.

After going back and forth several times, there was a sea of ​​flames everywhere on the Nanyang city tower, and more than half of the two thousand cavalrymen below the city were lost.

But with their efforts, the wooden fences at the gate of the city have all been destroyed.

Wang Jian saw that the enemy finally did not come again.

At this moment, there was a dull sound on the ground again.

Hooves!
Wang Jian's face suddenly changed, and those cavalrymen who had retreated came again.

Although Wang Jian knew from these cavalry that these people must be elite, but with their strength, even if they divide their troops to attack, can they really enter the city?
Could it be that the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty were all made of mud?

But soon he realized he was wrong.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly stumbled over and shouted loudly as he ran: "No, Nancheng, the gate of Nancheng is open, the enemy, the enemy has come in."

Wang Li was stunned when he heard this.

What's the situation, how did the enemy get in?

Although the Qin army was strong and organized in an orderly manner, they were unavoidably flustered under such circumstances. Fortunately, there was still Wang Jian in charge, so there was no major chaos as a whole.

"Mobilize troops and horses immediately, take back the city gate for me, and beat the enemy army out."

With an order, the soldiers on the tower quickly mobilized and rushed towards the south of the lost city.

Just before they ran far, they suddenly heard another sound from the east of the city where they were guarding just now.

Immediately afterwards, shouts of killing erupted everywhere.

"No, it's a hit!"

It was only at this time that Wang Jian came to his senses.

The soldier just now was probably from the enemy army. His purpose of rushing over was to spread false news, making them think that the south of the city was lost. In fact, the enemy outside the city was targeting the east of the city.

Now that the main force was taken away by Wang Jian, the city wall was full of loopholes, and the enemy's subordinates who were hiding in the city turned back at once, so naturally they could enter without any effort.

"General, what should we do?" Several school lieutenants looked at Wang Jian's face full of panic.

"Whatever you are afraid of, take up arms for me. Even if the enemy army enters the city, we still have the advantage in terms of strength. If we fight with them in the street, I don't believe that we can't kill all these thieves."

"promise."
