People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 407

The big stones were like migrating locusts, and they slammed heavily on the outer wall of Meiling Pass, making a huge bang.

Where the city wall was hit, a huge and clear pothole was immediately smashed out, and the cracks spread instantly.

A section of the nearby city wall immediately began to shake violently.

Standing on the city wall, the members of the Tianyin Cult could not help but turn pale for a moment.

But it's only whitish, because until now, these stones have not hurt anyone.

But at this moment, more stones were thrown from 200 meters away.

Everyone raised their heads and subconsciously stared at the stones.

One of them, very inconspicuous, was mixed in the middle of many stones, and then when the other stones had started to fall to the outer wall of the city, it suddenly continued to move forward, and then, under the eyes of everyone, suddenly The son passed through the crenel of the city wall.

"boom!"

The two black pawns standing behind the crenel didn't react at all, they were directly hit by the stone, and they were smashed into a pulp without saying a word.

However, after hitting the ground, the rolling stone did not stop at all, but quickly rolled backwards along the city wall. In a blink of an eye, it had already rolled over the passage of the city wall, and then rolled directly down from the other side.

The speed of the fall greatly increased the speed of its rolling.

In the blink of an eye, the rolling stone had slammed into a house more than ten meters away.

With a bang, the whole house was smashed down.

The huge rolling stone pierced through the collapsed house, then continued to roll forward, and finally landed on another house on the other side, making a huge bang.

It just stopped completely.

However, before everyone's hanging hearts fell, at this moment, the wall that was finally hit collapsed with a "wow".

The whole house collapsed immediately after.

Although these houses are made of mixed mud and stone, they are not that strong, but two of them were smashed down in one fell swoop. If it hits people...

Seeing this scene, everyone's breathing stopped at this moment.

I felt a bone-chilling chill all over my body.

But at this moment, a thick black shadow appeared above everyone's heads, and then they saw a rolling stone fly directly from the sky above everyone's heads, and finally hit the most central gate guard Xiaowei's mansion.

"Boom boom boom..." Amidst the successive sounds, one wall after another was smashed down, and at the end with a loud "crash", the rolling stone directly smashed into the flower pond of the Captain's Mansion, causing huge splashes, and the water waves rolled.

People with good eyesight can even see a grass carp collapse directly from the flower pond, and finally fall on the bank beside the flower pond.

Seeing this scene, Ye Wanwan shuddered from the bottom of her heart.

These people, under these catapults, are there any difference from that fish.

Ye Wanwan turned around sharply and looked at the catapult in the distance. While staring at the projected stone trail, she thought to herself, they can't let them continue like this.

If this continues, the morale of these people will be directly smashed.

While hiding behind the parapet, Ye Wanwan turned her head to look at He Qing'er who was not far away. The little girl turned pale with fright.

He Qing'er, who had previously said that she would assassinate the King of Nanchang, stopped saying a word at this time.

This also made Ye Wanwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she was really worried that the other party would ask about her every word and deed in Nanchang Wang back then.

What worried Ye Wanwan the most was the scene that night.

Thinking of what happened that night, Ye Wanwan couldn't help but blushed.

He Qing'er is going to assassinate the King of Nanchang, if...

"Tat, ta, ta..." A sound of clear and orderly footsteps came from under the city wall ahead.

Ye Wanwan hid behind the parapet and took a peek. The next moment, she was completely solemn.

I saw two teams, hundreds of Wuzhou soldiers, began to hold up the big shields in their hands, and then walked towards the city wall step by step.

Above their heads were boulders that kept flying and rolling. These Wuzhou servants strode towards the city gate with the flying stones on their heads.

At this moment, Zuo Fei on the other side immediately shouted loudly: "Archers, all archers stand up, shoot arrows, shoot arrows."

Among the black pawns, there are also many hunters who came down from the mountains, and their bows and arrows have a long range.

At this time, they didn't care about the flying boulders, and kept shooting arrows at the Wuzhou soldiers below.

No one noticed that the moment they shot the arrows, the Wuzhou soldiers slowed down immediately.

Many more hide behind shields.

Then there was a sound of "Duoduoduo", long arrows shot at the shield, trembling slightly with a lot of strength.

This place itself is not close to the city wall. It seems that Wuzhou soldiers are pressing forward non-stop, but in fact their pace has already slowed down.

It even stopped completely.

With a sound of "嗖", a long arrow shot through the gap in the shield, and the arrow pierced the neck of a Wuzhou soldier. The next moment, his body fell to the ground slowly.

At this moment, a cold and ruthless hand grabbed him, then pulled him directly behind, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And his original position was replaced by others.

A huge stone fell behind the female wall, and several black soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were smashed into a pulp; countless feathered arrows fell, and an unknown number of Wuzhou soldiers shot through their bodies.

But relatively speaking, most of the dead and wounded soldiers in Wuzhou were injured, and now they have been dragged down for treatment, and only a few were shot to death.

On the contrary, on the city wall, anyone who is hit by a rolling stone and rubbed against it will die almost immediately.

It was at this time that a cold voice came: "Fire the arrow."

It was the archer behind the shield. At this moment, he had raised his longbow, aimed at the Tianyin disciples on the city wall, and shot out fiercely with one arrow.

In an instant, arrows fell like rain.

Under countless feathered arrows, many archers on the city wall immediately shrank their heads subconsciously.

At the same time, under the city wall, the shield hand grabbed the shield, and slowly stepped back several steps in a row, and suddenly came to the edge of the archer's shooting range...

"Ding ding ding..." Feathered arrows were directly nailed to the shield, trembling slightly.

By this time, it was much more difficult for them to hit enemies behind the shield.

Many experts stopped shooting in an instant, only those who couldn't figure out the distance were still crazily consuming arrows.

The rolling stone on top of the head was still going on, Zuo Fei immediately reacted: "Stop shooting arrows, hide, hide..."

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Fei lowered his body and quickly came towards Ye Wanwan's position, and Zhang Wanyu on the other side also rushed over.

"The King of Nanchang is consuming our bows and arrows." Zuo Fei stretched out one hand, holding the arrows shot by Wuzhou soldiers.

Seeing the obvious bluntness of the arrow, Ye Wanwan frowned fiercely: "We can't continue to be passive like this, otherwise we won't be able to last three days."

"We can't get out." Zhang Wanyu shook her head, Ye Wanwan's idea was directly rejected by her.

"That's right, those cavalrymen outside are waiting for us." Although Zuo Fei is not a very good general, he is definitely qualified.

The little trap that the Wuzhou army ambushed outside could not escape his eyes at all.

"How about we go around from behind the mountain and assassinate the King of Nanchang." He Qing'er said suddenly, she was already a little stubborn, and took the opportunity to talk about assassinating the King of Nanchang.

"We don't know where he is, maybe no one even knows where he is, unless we have an internal response." Ye Wanwan turned to look at Zhang Wanyu, who then looked at Zuo Fei.

Zuo Fei thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"Hey! The trebuchet has stopped." Zuo Fei suddenly noticed that the trebuchet, which had been throwing stones continuously above his head, stopped completely at once.

"Any tool needs maintenance. If it is used endlessly, even something made of iron will break." Ye Wanwan stood up straight away, and then looked across.

At this time, I saw the Wuzhou soldiers on the opposite side retreating quickly, even retreating behind the catapult.

And several craftsmen are quickly repairing the catapult, which looks very busy from a distance.

"No, something's wrong!" Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanyu suddenly didn't have any joy on her face, instead, her spine felt chills for a split second.

She has a feeling that she is being calculated step by step.

For some reason, she couldn't figure out how she was being plotted against.

"Isn't that right? At this time, they should also remove the catapult, instead of putting it in the most conspicuous place for repair, as if lest we don't know." Zuo Fei's face was very ugly, he gritted his teeth and said : "They are telling us that today's battle is not over yet, and they will attack overnight."

"No, with the character of the King of Nanchang, if he wants to plot something, he will never be exposed easily and be discovered by others... Maybe he has no intention of attacking us tonight, he is just trying to exhaust the army, everyone don't forget Now, the strength of the black pawn has not recovered yet." Zhang Wanyu was keenly aware of something.

Li Xuan, who watched all this through Ye Wanwan's eyes, immediately straightened up.

Is he doing it too obviously?
No, he was a conspiracy in the first place.

At this time, Ye Wanwan spoke up: "Perhaps, he was doing it at the same time. On the one hand, he was planning to exhaust the army, and on the other hand, he was also preparing to attack us at any time, such as the midnight hour, or the dark hour when day and night alternate. Or even though when..."

"Stop talking!" He Qing'er interrupted Ye Wanwan suddenly, staring at her and said, "He can't do much, and he doesn't have many people."

"Yes, he doesn't have many men, but don't forget, he has cavalry." Zuo Fei shook his head.

Li Xuan taught this group of people better than Tianyin, and the biggest advantage he had was the cavalry.

If we say that Kuaiji Fubing can only be regarded as infantry on horseback, but Qianniuweiqi, they are definitely killing people.

"We have to find a way to abolish their cavalry."
