Chapter 397 Disturbing the City

Mo Yefeng changed his mind in an instant.

She turned around and told the Nomad Minister: "Pick up the oil, pour it on the trench-filling truck, and then use rockets to ignite the fire."

The Nomadic Minister quickly ordered the soldiers to do it.

Mo Lingfeng's eyes swept across the chariot in front of him. There was no flag sticking out of the observation hole. There must be a pair of eyes watching the movement on the tower.

It must be Tang Baichuan, watching how the tower responded to the first enemy attack.

A small-scale, non-stop attack on a certain part of the city wall is not only a strategy to tire out the enemy, but also can damage this part of the city wall. It can also take advantage of this opportunity to judge the strength of Jeju City, killing three birds with one stone.

Tang Baichuan is more difficult to deal with than Jin Lu.

"No elite troops, no heavy troops, no heavy crossbows, no gunpowder," Mo Lingfeng said with a burning gaze, "Zhong Tao has already shown up, so there is no need to withdraw. He will lead five thousand men to defend the city in rotation to resist small groups of enemy attacks. Dou Lanhua and Chang Long are not allowed to go to the tower and will report if there is any abnormality."

"Yes." Nomad Qing wrote down.

Soldiers below brought up a large barrel of oil and dumped it on the trench-filling vehicle. A soldier lit a rocket and fired it at the trench-filling vehicle.

At the same time, in the Chaocha wooden house one hundred and fifty steps away from the city tower, the wooden planks above were suddenly opened, and a head and half a shoulder emerged from the cabin. With lightning speed, he opened his bow and nocked an arrow, without aiming, and shot straight at Mo Lingfeng. .

The arrow came quickly and urgently. Nomad Qing stepped forward with his sword and stood in front of Mo Lingfeng. Mo Lingfeng didn't take a step back and took the opportunity to look at the shooter.

The archer's arms blocked most of his face, and all he could see was Zhang Guo's face. The red tassel fluttered on his back, and he ducked back in the next moment.

The arrow hit the city wall with a "ding" sound and fell down - the city tower and the chariot were one hundred and fifty steps apart. If it were an ordinary soldier, the arrow would not be able to reach the city wall at all, or it would be deflected early. This arrow can be impartial and hit everything. Things are different when listening to the wind.

Nomad Qing sweated a lot and breathed a sigh of relief when the arrow fell: "General, do you want to fight back?"

Mo Lingfeng's expression remained unchanged as he shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly."

She watched the cabin on the nest car fall down, but the person who fired the arrow just did not come out, as if he was avoiding her gaze.

She stared at the cabin closely: "What kind of feather is the arrow tail?"

Nomad Qing thought about the wooden arrow he just saw: "It looks like a carved feather."

Mo Lingfeng's eyes lit up: "Carved feathers are precious and ordinary soldiers don't have them. The person who fired the arrow just now must be Tang Baichuan!"

"He is not afraid of danger and likes to kiss the chariot," she said with a smile. "Arrange the crossbowman directly opposite the chariot, use the crossbow to open the crossbow, and as soon as the wooden house rises, he will shoot the crossbow at the observation hole."

"Yes." Nomad Qing's eyes also glowed.

The crossbow can shoot more than 340 steps, and half an arrow can enter the elm wood. As long as the arrow is accurate, it can turn a wooden house into a house of blood.

If you are lucky and kill Tang Baichuan, you will win most of the battle.

As he spoke, the catapults under the city came closer and closer to the trench. There was a loud "bang" and a large stone flew from the west wall to the city wall.

The Jeju City Wall, like the Kwanju City Wall, is made of rammed earth, glutinous rice juice, white powder soil, sand, and hydrated lime. It is rammed layer by layer. It is two feet thick at the bottom and one foot and three feet thick at the top. It is extremely strong. , a big stone that cannot be shaken.

Seeing this, Zhong Tao didn't make much of a fight. He ordered the soldiers to get the piercing ring, hold the hemp rope on the piercing ring, and throw the heavy ring made of forged iron. After several passes, the big ring caught the corner of the catapult, and everyone immediately Grab the rope and tug hard.

Several soldiers below climbed onto the catapult and tried to remove the piercing ring. The archers fired several arrows at the same time and knocked the soldiers over. The catapult was also dragged to the ground.

The tower immediately cheered, and the soldiers retracted the piercing ring and threw it out again, knocking over several catapults with hooks. Zhong Tao yelled at the top of his voice: "Cowardly old thief, using a broken rickshaw to show off, you will get all the military pay from the court." Is it in the dog’s stomach? Show some real skills!”

While cursing, he poured oil down, threw down the torch, and lit the catapult. Seeing the fire, the soldiers of the Yongzhen Army hurriedly withdrew with the ladder. This time the harassment of the city stopped in less than half an hour. After nightfall, the Yongzhen army harassed the city again at Haishi.

The Mo Jiajun followed Mo Lingfeng's orders, not even using crossbow arrows, but only used flying hooks, piercing rings, hot oil, rockets and other items to drive them away.

Tang Baichuan once again took Zheng Lin with him, boarded the nest car, got into the wooden house, and after the wooden house was raised and stopped, he checked the situation at the top of the city through the observation hole.

He didn't see any new tricks. Instead, he was dazzled by the firelight on top of the city. He had to leave the observation hole and raised his hands to rub his eyes——

The next moment, there was a "sting" in his ear.

Before he could put down his hand, the sound turned into a muffled "thud", followed closely by the sound of broken boards, and then, a "puff".

Between the electric light and flint, an iron arrow was nailed into the center of Zheng Lin's eyebrows behind the observation hole, and half of it was buried.

Tang Baichuan's pupils suddenly dilated, cold sweat broke out from his fur, and his soul whirled against the Tianling Cap.

The noise that disturbed the city suddenly disappeared in his ears. There was a buzzing in his ears, and he watched a line of blood slipping from the bottom of the iron arrow, leaving a clear bloodstain on Zheng Lin's face.

After a brief panic, he quickly recovered, stuffed himself behind Zheng Lin, squatted down with his knees bent, and held Zheng Lin's gradually cold back with both hands to protect himself.

His person and heart were hanging high together.

"Stop the car!" His loud roar was drowned out by the noise that disturbed the city.

The night was dark, and the iron arrows were also dark. The wooden house was high and there was no firelight. The soldiers below did not see the crossbow arrows, but they noticed the wooden poles shaking, as if the wooden house above had been violently impacted, so they quickly closed the car.

After the wooden house was stabilized, the door opened and Tang Baichuan almost rushed out in a panic. Zheng Lin's body had no support and hit the wall with a "bang".

Amid everyone's exclamations, Tang Baichuan gritted his teeth and looked at the tower. He wished he could make the chariot bigger and put a ballista in there to shoot Mo Lingfeng.

But the nest car cannot support such a large wooden house.

He turned to look at the corpse that was pulled out, and then at the iron arrow that he took out, feeling secretly annoyed.

After he saw Mo Lingfeng, he shouldn't have shot an arrow in a hurry to scare the snake away, otherwise Mo Lingfeng would not have taken out the crossbow to deal with a nest car.

At the same time, he knew that he could no longer get on the nest car - but if he didn't get on, what could he tell based on these wastes?

A soldier stepped forward and asked: "General Da Du, do you want Chao Che to move back further?"

He spat in the faces of his soldiers: "Why retreat? If you retreat so far, have you become clairvoyant? Everything remains the same!"

The soldiers did not dare to reach out and wipe their faces, so they could only retreat.

Everything is as usual, and the same is true for harassing the city. There is no fixed time, day and night, and the harassment continues until February 20th.

For a whole month, a feeling of anxiety floated in Jeju City. Zhong Tao on the city tower was particularly tired and stopped cursing endlessly. The soldiers guarding the city also lost their energy.

The common people and state officials in Jeju City were all feeling uneasy.

Time is still passing. The boat on the dock is moored outside the city, and its deck has been covered by new willow branches. But they are trapped in the city, and their life has stopped.

Jeju City has become a huge tomb, filled with a deathly silence. Late at night, you can even hear the sound of spring grass bursting from the soil.
