Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 200
Wei Yan shouted for a day without Liu Xun responding. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he rode back to the camp and found the demon ants, asking them to command its army of ants to help attack the city.

"I don't carry much siege equipment, so don't act rashly unless you are fully sure." Chu Nan handed over the charging cart and ladder he brought to Wei Yan. Wei Yanlai decided how to fight the battle, just let him save it. It's useless, if these things are gone, they will not be able to fight large-scale siege battles for a long time to come.

Although Chu Nan was opposed to a strong attack, being against a strong attack and being incapable of a strong attack were two different things.

"My lord, I think that Liu Xun's ability is average, but there should be powerful people in this city. Yesterday I chased and killed Liu Xun, and no matter how much Liu Xun yelled, the gate of the city never opened. Today I yelled like this, and you said the other party would You won't notice?" Wei Yan asked while nodding.

"When you have this doubt in your heart, no matter whether the other party notices it or not, you should take it as if the other party has noticed it." Chu Nan said almost without thinking.

Wei Yan nodded when he heard the words: "The last general has taken orders, so these things will not be used tonight."

"The things have been given to you, how to use them is up to you," Chu Nan said casually.

"Here, I will take my leave!" Wei Yan promised, and went to find the demon ants. The demon ants can now communicate with people and write a lot of words, which is very convenient for the demon ants to communicate with people other than Chu Nan.

Whether military skills can be used on ants is still unclear. Wei Yan roughly summed up the usage of monster ants. If they are used as the main attack, the combat effectiveness is actually limited, unless it is against ordinary people, or people like Shouchun have lost their hearts. The place.

But where there is a serious army, the ants want to win head-on, not to mention the ants gathered by the demon ants now, even if it takes a few days to gather all the ants in a radius of hundreds of miles just like last time use.

In Wei Yan's view, it is a very stupid thing for ant swarms to use for frontal attack.

Ants can destroy some important buildings of the enemy army, such as drum towers, catapults, and bed crossbows, which are not used in daily life. As long as they can be identified, they can be easily destroyed.

But demon ants can be identified, but ordinary ants are difficult to identify, only a rough range can be determined.

The next step is to dig tunnels, which is also a common method to deal with such a large army stationed in a fortified city, but the ants may dig tunnels faster than humans, and the most important thing is that the movement is small and difficult to be noticed.

If the enemy already knew that he was going to make a surprise attack tonight, how should he fight?

Wei Yan brought the monster ants to the outside of Shu County, and frowned at the city wall of Shu County?
In the end, Wei Yan was going to split up with the monster ants. He was in charge of leading the troops to attack the city. It would be best if he could conquer the city, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. This time his task was mainly to attract the defenders in the city, and the monster ants were responsible for taking advantage of the attack. When the defenders were attracted, they led their ant army to dig a tunnel into the city to prepare for breaking the city tomorrow.

This city must be destroyed tonight or tomorrow, but it must be destroyed anyway.

After the monster ants probably finished what they were going to do, they flew away immediately. Wei Yan led his troops and tried a wave of sneak attacks, but the entrance into the city was unexpectedly smooth!
"Not good!" Wei Yan looked at the soldiers who had plastered the top of the city and started to seize the city gate, his heart sank, and he quickly ordered them to withdraw from the city wall, but the next moment, when the city gate was opened, those soldiers got the order Backing out, but hearing the sound of gongs and drums in the city, countless arrow clusters flew in, and the soldiers who opened the gate were shot and killed by the arrow clusters. Liu Xun led his troops to the outside of the city, picked up a human head, Laughing loudly: "Wei Yanping, why didn't you attack? The general has been waiting for you in the middle of the night! Hahaha~"

Wei Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him formed an army formation, followed by a creaking sound, accompanied by the loud noise of the catapult of the army formation air machine, throwing stone bullets one after another, piercing the air. The stone bombs fell like meteors!

"Junior, it's just a fluke to beat me for a while, do you think this general is so easy to bully!?" Liu Xun raised the spear in his hand, and a layer of air wall appeared on the city wall. Although the air wall was shaken violently by the falling stone bullet, it still Never been able to break it.

Liu Xun glanced at it, laughed loudly and said, "Little thief Wei Yan, if you don't attack again, this general will close the gate of the city!"

Wei Yan looked at the wide open city gate, his face sank like water, but he didn't intend to rush up. Liu Xun laughed when he saw this, and ordered the soldiers to close the city gate.

"What's the ambush in the city?" Wei Yan frowned, and ordered the catapults and bed crossbows to fire stone bombs and giant crossbows at the enemy's city wall frantically. But he failed and was knocked down from the city wall.

The formation disappeared! ?

However, Wei Yan sensed that something was wrong. The opponent's army formation seemed to only protect the city wall, but not the soldiers on the city wall. He said in a deep voice, "Quick, ladder, attack! Keep the army formation!"

Wei Yan quickly ordered people to attack the city wall, and the sound of fighting on the city wall was heard, but after a while, he saw a soldier rushing down and said to Wei Yan: "General, the enemy guarding the city is not human!"

"??" Hearing this, Wei Yan frowned and looked at the other party: "Why?"

"I waited to kill the city wall, but when I saw dozens of enemy soldiers on the city wall, I rushed up to fight them without thinking too much. Only then did I realize that the enemy soldiers who appeared on the city wall were not living people at all, but bodies. The wooden puppet is not very powerful, but it spins around the city wall like a whirlwind, and our soldiers can't take it off for a while, and the more they hit it, the faster it spins." The soldier said with a wry smile.

"Wooden puppet?" Wei Yan frowned, and said after a while, "Take me to see it!"

As he said that, Wei Yan personally led the team to the city, but saw a figure on the city wall circling around. He looked intently, and it was exactly as the soldiers said, it was a puppet in the shape of a human, but the bottom was conical. Yes, the arm is made of the blade, and it turns like a spiral knife. Let this thing touch it, and I am afraid that there will be a hole in the body immediately.

Seeing a puppet turn this way, Wei Yan made a backhand knife, but saw that the puppet turned even faster.

Wei Yan was a little surprised. He knew better than anyone else the weight of his knife. Although it was just a random knife, ordinary generals might not be able to catch it.

And as he slashed out with the knife, the other puppets turned towards this side, and there seemed to be a connection between them?
"Retreat!" Wei Yan himself was not afraid, but even if the soldiers were protected by the army formation, they might not be able to hold back a few times, so he immediately ordered the generals to retreat.

"kill!"

At this moment, rows of black shadows appeared on the top of the city tower, shooting towards this direction, Wei Yan led the troops back down the city, and retreated all the way out of the opponent's range while protecting the ladder.

Fortunately, the opponent didn't launch a fire attack, otherwise the ladder might not be able to keep it...

Just as he was thinking, Wei Yan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the city. The opponent's series of counterattacks are intertwined, how could he not have thought of the fire attack?
"General?" A soldier looked at Wei Yan and asked in doubt.

"Catapult, pour the stone bullets with kerosene and project them on the city wall, and prepare rockets for me, and shoot at the top of the city immediately!" Wei Yan turned around and looked in the direction of the top of the city. It's not because he didn't think of it, but because he didn't dare to use it. Fire Attack?

The generals didn't know why, but they quickly agreed, and quickly moved kerosene to touch the stone bullets to ignite the stone bullets, and then used the catapult to project towards the top of the city.

The arrow clusters were wrapped with cloth strips, and then ignited with kerosene on the sacrificial offering, and shot towards the city. The arrow clusters were wrapped with cloth strips and turned into rockets. The aim and strength would be affected, but it was not important.

Wei Yan sat on the horseback, staring at the direction of the city.

Sure enough, as stone bombs continued to fall on the top of the city, those wooden puppets that were spinning like a top were finally ignited. Standing at the bottom of the city and looking at it, I saw a few figures who were still ignited Irregular motion tracks spun around on the city wall, constantly igniting other wooden puppets, and for a while, dozens of fire shadows appeared on a section of the city wall.

What surprised Wei Yan even more was that the ambushes shooting arrows on the city tower were also wooden puppets. No wonder they climbed up so easily when they sent someone to steal the city just now, and they didn't find any ambushes. It's hard to find such silent ambushes Disaster.

Where did the enemy's main force go?
Wei Yan's complexion suddenly changed. There are quite a lot of enemy soldiers and horses, and it is enough to defend the city, but why do you need to rely on this thing to defend the city at night?The military array protecting the city wall just now does not seem to be very powerful, and it relies more on the popularity of the people to protect the city wall. The opponent obviously has enough manpower, but they don't use soldiers and horses to ambush them. Instead, they have dozens of puppets...

not good!

Thinking of this, Wei Yan quickly turned his horse's head and looked in the direction of the main camp. Just as he saw the fire light up there again, his complexion changed drastically. He didn't care about attacking the city, and shouted: "Hurry up, gather people and horses, follow me Go save the lord!"

Chu Nan didn't have any decent generals around him, if the enemy's sneak attack succeeded, it would be a disaster.

Wei Yan had just driven halfway with his men and horses, but he saw the fire in the Chunan Camp brightly, and the killing sound shook the sky, followed by black clouds drifting through the fire, and in the sky, a white dove kept swooping down and flapping its wings.

"Kill!" The sound of fierce fighting resounded through the night sky, but it seemed that the Xuzhou Army had the upper hand, while the Lujiang Army's sneak attack was barely audible.

"Quick!" Although he didn't quite know what happened, Wei Yan still led his men and horses to rush to the battlefield quickly, ignoring the still burning city wall behind him. The Lujiang rebel army was intercepted by Zhou Cang, Wei Yue, and Pei Yuanshao, and they were fleeing in all directions.

Seeing this, Wei Yan went up without saying a word, raised his knife, and cooperated with Zhou Cang, Wei Yue, and Pei Yuanshao to throw away the helmets and armors killed by the bandit army, and fled in embarrassment until dawn, following the Lujiang army. , Drop down, leaving only a place of corpses, the battle is not completely over until now.

"The general is incompetent, and let these thieves kill the lord, please forgive me!" Wei Yan brought people to Chu Nan, knelt down in front of Chu Nan, and said with a face of shame.
