The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 40

Nan Jiyun carried the carved bow on his body, raised his hand to straighten the phoenix's wings, and took a Hulu from the soldier's hand, tied it around his waist, and neatly stacked twenty pieces of jade in the Hulu. Arrows with golden juice.

He silently held the long spear leaning against the battlements in his hand, stared at the Turkic cavalry who were getting closer and closer, raised the long spear high, and loudly encouraged morale: "Behead the general and capture the flag, seal your wife and son, make meritorious deeds, and serve the country!" .”

"Soldiers, prepare your bows and arrows, and listen to my orders."

Nan Jiyun lifted his right hand into the air, calculating the distance between Hu Qi and the city wall in his mind.

"Four Hundred Steps"

"350 steps"

"."

"250 steps"

Nan Jiyun glanced sideways at the big banner that was blown by the wind and saw that the wind was in his favor, so he waved his finger in the direction of the Hu cavalry formation, and said, "Raise the bow. Three rounds of volley, ready."

"put"

Following Nan Jiyun's loud roar, but hearing Weng's cry, the defenders fired the first round of arrows into the Hu cavalry formation that suddenly accelerated.

After a round of volleys, the defenders quickly drew their bows and arrows without pausing at all. In just a few breaths, they fired three rounds of volleys at the Hu cavalry formation charging towards the city.

Thousands of arrows quenched with golden juice roared into the formation of the Hu cavalry that was charging with all their strength, with a sound of piercing through the air.

There were dozens of gaps in the originally neat cavalry formation, and the person hit by the arrow was pushed back by a force of inertia brought by the arrow, and thus fell under the horse. He screamed, and was trampled into a puddle of flesh by the following horses.

After paying nearly a hundred fresh lives, this cavalry team finally rushed into the effective range of the bow and arrow, and the three thousand light cavalry took out the long bows they had prepared in advance, and stretched their bows and arrows around the city. Then under the command of a general, he fired a round of shooting at the city.

After several days of fierce fighting, the defenders had already had a certain understanding of the Turkic attacking methods. When they saw the opponent's bow and arrow, they all bent down and used the cover of the city wall to avoid the first attack of the Turkic archer. A round of attack.

Relying on the advantage of his complete armor, Nan Jiyun perched beside the crenel, overlooking the movement track of Hu Qi under the city from time to time. When he saw the Turkic nobleman identified by Zhang Xun, he was firmly guarded by his servants among the crowd. , His face inevitably showed a touch of disappointment and contempt.

Hu rode to about a hundred steps away from the city and stopped charging forward. Under the command of their respective generals, they circled Hebei City and shot cold arrows at the defenders at the top of the city to attack and suppress the defenders. Fighting will and fighting spirit.

Nan Jiyun glanced down the city through the crenel, and found that there was a short distance between the Turkic infantry and Hu Qi, so he immediately ordered someone to convey the order to attack with stones to Zhang Xun, who had been waiting under the city for a long time.

Seeing this, the messengers hiding in the dark quickly waved their command flags, signaling the catapults arranged in the city to launch a round of stone catapults outside the city.

Zhang Xun ordered people to build an earth slope more than three feet high on the inner side of the city wall, and then arranged all the more than 100 catapults left in the city on this earth slope.

The field of view here is wide, and it is condescending to launch stone-throwing attacks on the Turkic people outside the city. Hiding the catapult here can also play a miraculous effect of catching them unawares by surprise.

Looking at the waving command flags, Zhang Xun raised his right hand expressionlessly, and said, "Load the stone bombs and start the first salvo."

"preparation."

"put"

Zhang Xun swung his right hand vigorously in the air, and in the next moment, more than 100 stone bullets the size of a millstone shot out with bursts of whistling sound, crossed the city of Hebei, and fell straight into the people who were walking in neat steps. In the army formation of Turkic soldiers walking slowly towards the head of Hebei city.

The muffled sound when the boulder fell to the ground, accompanied by the sound of broken bones and tendons, and the hysterical screams of the Turkic soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the boulder, intertwined into a horrible scene like purgatory on earth.

But Zhang Xun, who was standing on the slope, seemed deaf to the screams outside the city, he just silently raised his right hand, and said lightly, "Continue loading the stone bombs."

The defenders who were in charge of launching the catapult heard the words, and acted like a conditioned reflex.

After a long time.

After the stone bombs were loaded, Zhang Xun once again gave the order to the defenders to throw stones expressionlessly.

After two rounds of throwing stones, Zhang Xun drew out his saber again and said, "Move the catapult out of range immediately, so as not to be damaged by the opponent's stone attack."

After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he left everyone behind and walked towards the top of the city with his sword in hand again.

After two rounds of stone-throwing attacks, the Turkic soldiers finally rushed to the city of Hebei.

At this time, Zhang Xunye had returned to the city with his saber in hand. He walked quickly to Nan Jiyun's side, frowning and asked, "How?"

Nan Jiyun shook his head helplessly, squinted his eyes, and said: "That man should be a big fish. He has always been tightly guarded by his subordinates, and he didn't come into my range. I didn't dare to act rashly. I'm worried that it will startle the snake."

Zhang Xun adjusted his pockets, and then looked down the crenel. He saw Turkic soldiers carrying ladders and making preparations before attacking the city, so he squinted his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time." .”

As Zhang Xun said, he glanced at the moat under the city that was filled with corpses, and looked at the people in Hedong who were driven here by the Turks and finally died tragically in the moat. Like the sea, it is hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart without destroying the family and species."

Looking at Zhang Xun who was clenching his teeth, holding his saber tightly, his fingertips almost digging into his flesh, glaring, his eyes were about to burst into flames, it was Nan Ji who was born tall and burly, and was known as a brave man Cloud, can't help feeling a little awed by it.

Nan Jiyun swallowed silently, and said: "My lord, calm down for the time being, we only need to stick to it for a few more days. When His Majesty's reinforcements arrive, it will be the day of Turkic defeat."

"Vulgar and savage, how dare to offend Tianwei, every time I think of this, I feel my inner churning, I wish I could eat his flesh, Fang Jie only hates it."

Zhang Xun wiped the blood on the blade of the saber with his bare hands. However, just after he wiped off the enemy's blood, his blood was left on the blade. At this moment, Zhang Xun seemed to have completely lost his sense of pain. Unaware.

With the sound of the horn, tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who had stepped into the stone's throw, lifted the ladders one after another, and launched a tide-like attack on the city of Hebei.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun quickly waved the saber in his hand, shouted and ordered, "Let the arrows. Let the arrows, let them go."

The rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and the banner at the top of the city fluttered in the wind. Zhang Xun raised his saber aloft and stood at the top of the city to supervise the battle.

Nan Jiyun held a long spear, carried a precious carved bow, and wore a Hulu around his waist, and rushed to fight on the top of the city.

However, the Turkic soldiers, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, climbed towards the top of the city without fear of death, and the Daxia defenders also had the determination to die, shouting the slogan "Swear to live and die with Hebei", and will Sweat and blood merged into one, and then all of them were thrown on the city of Hebei.
