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

Chapter 429 The advantage is mine, the catastrophe is coming

Under the huge shadow, the rolling stone hit the ground heavily with a "bang".

The Tianyin believers who had been prepared for a long time hid quickly, and Fei Luo's rolling stone didn't hit any of them at all.

But immediately after, the rolling stone quickly rolled down the mountain.

The people behind were scared and ran away, but there was no way to hide.

With a "click", the two little feet have been completely crushed.

"Ah!" The tragic wailing sounded instantly, but the next moment, the sound had completely stopped.

People have been crushed to death by rolling stones.

The speed of Rolling Stone slowed down, and the many sword and shield fighters who saw this scene hurriedly avoided, and a straight passage had been given up.

The rolling stone rolled down quickly without hurting anyone.

But at this moment, the entire mountain path was already covered in blood.

The rolling stone above the head is still falling down.

Those who were lucky were directly smashed to the head, and those who were unlucky had a broken leg and kept wailing.

The kind-hearted companions directly cut their throats with a knife, while the cruel-hearted ones left him alone and let him howl miserably.

Once the rolling stone hits someone, his speed will be immediately slowed down.

It's much easier to dodge it later.

Rolling stones smashing people looks fierce, but the real damage is limited, and more is the destruction of people's hearts.

Teams of sword and shield players didn't dare to play any snake-like moves at this time, and rushed forward quickly.

As long as they rushed past the throwing range of the catapult, they didn't have to worry about being hit again.

Upstairs above the city gate, Li Xuan looked at this scene with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Command, two to the left."

"Herald, two to the right."

The sound passed on immediately, followed by a slight pause, and the two catapults had slightly changed the direction of throwing stones.

The rolling stones on both sides changed the throwing direction at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the two rolling stones were spinning rapidly in mid-air.

With a "bang", a rolling stone hit a head, and blood splattered everywhere.

Another rolling stone hit the rock wall on one side directly, throwing out countless gravels, but the whole rolling stone bounced back to the left violently.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the rolling stone smashed a leg, and then rolled obliquely towards the other side of the mountain road.

Immediately, a group of people turned their backs on the mountain road.

……

"Send an order, let them adjust the direction of attack at any time, without following certain rules!" Li Xuan's order was quickly conveyed.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's eyes had already fallen on the sword and shield hand who rushed forward, and the two rows of ladders were quickly moving towards the closed shelf.

"The wood." Li Xuan's voice had just fallen when three huge woods had been thrown down from the city gate tower.

Several people were smashed to pieces immediately.

Just as the wailing sounded, the sharp long arrows had pierced their throats.

Seeing the huge sapwood rolling towards the other side, Li Xuan showed a cold expression on his face.

The mountain road as a whole is high in the north and low in the south, especially within the two miles of the city gate, people have deliberately made means so that the attack on the city gate can kill the enemy to the greatest extent. Wuzhou has a great advantage .

Looking at what was in front of her, Zhang Wanyu's face became more and more ugly.

In her mind, she came up with four or five countermeasures in an instant, but these solutions were always completely rejected by herself when they were close to her mouth.

At this moment, there was a sound of "whoosh, whoosh", and a handful of crossbow arrows had been shot down on the city wall.

Then, another wave of wood was thrown down, and then another crossbow bolt.

After several times, a pile of corpses had already been lying under the city wall, blood flowing like a river.

A ladder was finally placed on the city wall, and immediately after that, two push hooks pushed the ladder into the air.

Immediately behind the longbow frenziedly shot and killed the gray-clothed soldiers on the ladder, and they didn't push down the ladder until everyone was killed.

Seeing that it is difficult to gain too many advantages under the city wall, Zhang Wanyu looked at Xu Xi who was on the side, and ordered: "Retreat!"

Xu Xi finally couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief at this moment, and then waved his hand to send an order to retreat.

However, at this time, the trees and catapults above were still chasing and killing them.

They stopped attacking slowly when there was only a pile of corpses left on the ground.

Looking at the two catapults above the city gate, Zhang Wanyu seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and her face suddenly relaxed.

Soon, the Tianyin cultists downstairs of the city gate had disappeared without a trace.

……

"Be careful, there will be another wave of temptations in the future. Tonight, there will be a night attack. Tomorrow, a large-scale offensive will come." Li Xuan stood on the top of the city gate, facing Everyone gave a detailed warning.

"Your official understands!" Yan Tao and the others immediately cupped their hands with awe-inspiring expressions.

What Li Xuan said, although it sounds like a lot of guesswork, is actually quite in line with the law of war.

Seeing that they listened to his words, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, turned around and began to repair the wounded soldiers.

He himself is a good doctor, and in his capacity, it is more reassuring to do it himself.

Wang Qin walked back and forth among the crowd, and every time he walked, the nearby soldiers cheered loudly.

Although there were only a few hundred people who came this time, each of these people on their city walls had several military exploits in their hands.

Looking under the city wall, the sergeants who were being renovated were all itchy.

In order to guard against a possible night attack tonight, after noon, the soldiers who stood on the city wall all morning were immediately replaced to rest.

Standing in the shadow of the city gate tower, Li Xuan looked at the grey-clothed soldiers swaying in the distance, with the solemnity in his eyes undiminished.

"My lord!" Qiu Zhenmu stood behind Li Xuan, looked at the Tianyin soldiers in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "They should attack again at dusk, is your judgment correct?"

"The weather is right, the weather is hot, the soldiers are not able to fight for a long time, this is something that no one can change, but even though it is dusk, there are also mornings and evenings at dusk, brother Qiu should be cautious." Li Xuan looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu , said: "In the past few days, the brothers of Qianniuwei have not been allowed to fight, do the brothers have no grievances?"

"How could it be?" Qiu Zhenmu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's too late for brothers to be grateful to the lord, how can there be resentment... Although the lord has not yet let the brothers play, the brothers all know that the lord is treating the brothers. It will be of great use in the future, and I am worried about it, so I put it down for the time being."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Rest well when it's time to rest. When it's time to fight, you must be able to fight immediately. By the way, these days, let the brothers take good care of the horse."

"Horse?" Qiu Zhenmu was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm ordering!"

Qiu Zhenmu was a little confused, so although war horses are very useful, they are mostly useful for cavalry.

The mountain road in front of Meiling Pass is narrow and not suitable for cavalry charge.

They had also rode out of Meiling Pass before, but they were mostly used as infantry on horseback, and when they returned, the horses were even more tired.

Cavalry combat, is it...

Qiu Zhenmu seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened instantly.

Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said, "Don't think too much, just wait with peace of mind."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and came out, and began to arrange for Qian Niuwei to take good care of the horses.

Although Qianniuwei, as a cavalry soldier, has always cared for his horses, but recently there are not many cavalry soldiers who have the opportunity to fight again, so they have been neglected, but now, the opportunity will come soon.

If at this time, because of a problem with the war horse, they could not catch up with the subsequent battle, they would cry without crying.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the sky on the west side. For some reason, it seemed to be extremely hot today.

……

At dusk, the city began to move.

Standing in front of hundreds of gray soldiers, Zhang Wanyu raised her head and stared fixedly at Li Xuan on the city gate.

At this time, two huge well fences were pushed up on both sides of hundreds of gray soldiers, not only that, but also two trebuchets were also placed under the well fence.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the well fence and the trebuchet were slowly pushed forward and began to gradually approach the city wall.

The gray pawns on both sides carefully hid under the well fence and the trebuchet, and moved forward steadily.

"Something's wrong. It doesn't look like their style. Since when did the people of Tianyin Sect become so stable." Yan Tao looked at everything on the mountain road in surprise, and his brows were furrowed.

"Why can't they fight steadily, after all, the loss is the smallest." Li Xuan's voice came from behind.

Yan Tao quickly turned around and cupped his hands: "My lord!"

"Don't be nervous, how to hit, how to hit, within the shooting range, it will be directly smashed." Li Xuan looked at several archers on the well fence in the distance, and said softly: "Why, could it be our archers? , is still worse than the other party, if not, I will instinctively ask Feng to join the army and put our well fence up."

Li Xuan's words with a bit of yin and yang made Yan Tao's face flushed, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's because the subordinate has lost his stability."

"It's not that you are prudent, it's that you haven't adjusted your mentality." Li Xuan shook his head and said directly: "You still treat them as ordinary thieves, but you forgot that there is a whole Muzhou people behind them." The strength is supporting; although the focus of the entire Muzhou is now on the upcoming uprising, the strength of just one county cannot be underestimated."

"What the prince said is very true." Yan Tao hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Tell the brothers, they are fighting steadily, and we are also fighting steadily. Killing one counts as one. I have the advantage today, and I am afraid that they will fail." The corner of Li Xuan's mouth showed a trace of ruthlessness.

"Here!" Yan Tao immediately bowed deeply, then turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Li Xuan turned around again, looking at the battle of the Tianyin Sect below, her expression became awe-inspiring in an instant.

Compared to Yan Tao, he knows more.

Although Zhang Wanyu solicited the opinions of all the generals in front of her, it was her own idea that Jing Lan and the catapult were advancing steadily.

Everyone in the Tianyin Sect is also anxious, because the Tianyin Sect's uprising is imminent, and they want to take down Meiling Pass to pay tribute to the entire uprising before that, and Meiling Pass is as stable as Mount Tai in Li Xuan's hands, so how can it be so good won.

Zhang Wanyu was able to suppress the emotions of her subordinates at this time. For this alone, she was trained by Tianyin for many years, and this effort was definitely not in vain.

It's a pity, the general trend is with me.

Li Xuan turned around, walked to the other side of the city gate, and turned her gaze directly to the southeast.

The breeze picks up.

The catastrophe is coming.
