Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 467 Don’t let Beiyan’s sword hurt her again

Inside Moon City.

Feng Qingchen was sipping tea in the stronghold, sitting in a leisurely manner.

On the couch behind him, there was a scarred man lying. The man was bone-thin and covered in wounds. Even though he was asleep, his brows were furrowed tightly.

Ling appeared and stood respectfully in front of Feng Qingchen: "Master, everything is arranged."

Feng Qingchen put down the tea cup: "Thank you for your hard work. If you take good care of people, you must keep their lives. They will be useless if they die."

Ling respectfully agreed, but he was also confused: "Master, Moon City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if there are only a few thousand people on the city wall, they can keep away Miss Bai's [-] soldiers. Why do you look so incompetent?" in a hurry?"

Feng Qingchen sniffed and asked, "What did you smell?"

Ling was puzzled: "Master, please make it clear."

Feng Qingchen poured himself another cup of tea, held the white porcelain cup with his slender finger bones, and said softly: "Since the beginning of spring, there hasn't been a heavy rain in the north. It's time."

Ling stood up and opened the window, only to see that the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Dark clouds rolled in, covering up the bright spring light. There was darkness between the sky and the earth, filled with the sultry heat before the rainstorm.

But it is a sign of the coming heavy rain.

Ling suddenly realized: "My subordinates are still wondering why Miss Bai gave the enemy half an hour to hand over Qin Zhen before attacking the city. It turned out to be to delay time."

Feng Qingchen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly: "Soon, the little girl took advantage of the right time, location, and people."

time of day.

Before the war started, Bai Mingwei had already understood from the farmers that the first heavy rain since spring in the north was coming.

As long as the heavy rain pours down, the most useful fire attack method of the defenders will be ineffective against the attackers. The fire cannot be ignited, and the ladders and carriages can move unimpeded.

Each cart built by Mr. Gongsun was equipped with several crossbow machines. As long as a few soldiers kept loading the crossbows and used arrow arrays to suppress the archers on the city wall, the ladder could be set up smoothly.

Geographical advantage.

Yuecheng is located between two steep mountains. It is the first important pass to guard the southern border of Beiyan. As long as the city wall is guarded, the army will not be able to climb the steep peaks and cross the mountains and ridges to enter Beiyan.

The high city made of rammed earth is so impregnable that even a chariot cannot knock it over. However, solidity also has its drawbacks.

As long as the mountain torrent rushes into the Moon City, the Moon City will be unable to release the flood for a while. The soldiers guarding behind the city gate will inevitably lose their combat effectiveness in a short time. By then, the Moon City's weakest gate will not be able to stop the pointed wooden donkeys that hit the door. .

people and.

The [-] Bai family troops are worthy of being the top elite soldiers. Their formations are practiced to perfection and can change endlessly in an instant.

Seeing this situation, the [-] garrison troops will definitely be excited and their morale will be greatly boosted. By then, it will be easy for them to drive towards Moon City with overwhelming force.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingchen gently stroked the little white mink's back: "The Dongling people have been oppressed for too long. They are eager to prove themselves. The imperial envoy's capture just gave them an excuse."

"It is inconvenient for me to show up this time to avoid being seen. I know that the little girl has been planning for this battle for a long time. This will affect the morale of the army."

"Besides, the rain is too loud and I can't move freely. When the two armies start fighting, you can help me stay by the little girl's side. Don't let Beiyan's sword hurt her again."

Ling nodded: "Master, I understand."

……

Bai Ming raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky, and raised his lips: "Since Beiyan refuses to return the imperial envoy, we have no choice but to snatch it."

While speaking, several orders were issued.

"Where is Zhang Jin?"

Zhang Jin stepped out from the crowd and said, "My subordinates are here!"

Bai Mingwei ordered: "Take 100 people, set up iron shields, and approach the city with tung oil and white vinegar. Sprinkle tung oil on the antler wood and horse guns, and splash rice vinegar on the rammed earth beside the city gate."

Zhang Jin cupped his hands and said, "I have the order!"

"Where is Zhou Yi?" Zhou Yi stepped out from the crowd and said, "My subordinates are here!"

Bai Mingwei looked at the mountain on the right: "Lead 500 people to climb that mountain and dig out a flood diversion channel. When heavy rain comes, I want all the floods on the mountain to pour into the city gate."

Zhou Yi raised his hand and said: "I have the order!"

"Where is Du Cheng?"

After the words fell, a thin figure quickly approached: "My subordinate is here!"

Bai Mingwei ordered: "Get on the carriage and direct the crossbow archers to use arrow arrays to suppress the archers on the city wall and cover Zhang Jin and Zhou Yi."

Xiao Du raised his hand and said, "I have the order!"

Finally, Bai Mingwei held Yan Lan's reins and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Drumming! Prepare for battle!"

Wei Xiao used his rich voice to convey her order: "Drumming! Prepare for war!"

The drum sound of "dong dong dong" was slow and urgent, and instantly resounded through the sky.

As soon as the drum beat, Zhang Jin led 50 people. They set up iron shields, surrounded the team tightly, and slowly approached the city wall.

Zhou Yi led 500 people, prepared tools and ropes, and began to climb the mountain on the right.

Xiao Du also boarded one of the carriages, with his back straight and his face solemn, observing every move on the city wall.

Seeing this, Sutumu immediately ordered his subordinates: "Archers, prepare!"

The sky is getting darker and darker, and there is darkness between heaven and earth.

As the drumming stopped, Zhang Jin led his men into the shooting range. It was a large open space with no obstructions.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp arrow shot through the air from the city wall.

The iron shield in Zhang Jin's hand stagnated for a moment, and there was only a "ding" sound as the sharp arrow pierced the iron shield and was bounced away again.

Seeing this, Su Tumu shouted sternly: "Shoot!"

The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the wind is howling.

The soldiers of Beiyan, who had already fully drawn their bows, lowered the strings at the same time. A black rain fell from the city wall. In this dark sky and earth, the sharp arrows tore the air and poured down, all hailing on the iron shield.

Against the backdrop of thousands of arrows being fired, although the speed of Zhang Jin and his men was hindered, they would not stop there.

As for Zhou Yi's team, because they were far out of range, the Beiyan archers were unable to do anything to them.

Suddenly, a few wisps of green smoke floated above the city wall. As the green smoke rose, dots of firelight quickly formed a row.

It turned out that the soldiers of Beiyan saw that there was nothing they could do with iron shields, so they switched to fire attacks.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Du immediately tied the oil-soaked cloth strip to the crossbow arrow that was about to be fired from the crossbow machine and ignited it. He personally supported the crossbow machine and adjusted its position and angle.

"Clang" several times!
The crossbow arrow with fire shot out rapidly. Because the speed was too fast, the fire of the arrow was still extinguished, but when the crossbow arrow with sparks was stuck in the enemy's oil barrel.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise, the oil barrel exploded, tung oil splashed on the people around, and the wind just blew over the burning arrowheads of the Beiyan soldiers.

With just a slight touch, the tung oil instantly caught fire and burned brightly.

Just these few crossbow arrows were like huge rocks thrown into the water, causing a huge wave, and the Beiyan soldiers who were burned by the fire instantly began to wail endlessly.

As they tossed and rolled in pain, the fire in their bodies spread to the people around them.

Due to the dense concentration of guards on the city wall, it was impossible to escape. The fire spread like water, spreading from ten to ten, and soon burned a large area.

In order to avoid being affected, other people quickly put down their bows and arrows and went to put out the fire.

They were crowded, making a fuss, and were starting to get into a disarray.
