Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 697 Fatigue Tactics
The Liao army was stationed outside the city of Luzhou, and everything looked peaceful, as if they were really frightened by the cannons on the city.However, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to take it lightly, and all of them stared outside with wide-eyed eyes, for fear that the enemy would deceive them.Time passed so slowly, and it was the most sleepy time in the second half of the night.

The soldiers guarding the city were dispatched to patrol, constantly staring at the situation in the distance opposite.It's just that the sky is cloudy tonight, the moon is hidden behind the dark clouds, and the sky is as dark as ink. Even people with the best eyesight can't see how far away.

"Is there nothing going on tonight? I saw that the other side is quite quiet, and I guess I was frightened by our artillery." The patrolling soldiers were really bored, so they chatted in low voices.

"Don't be careless. This night is a good time for a sneak attack. We must cheer up and don't let them approach. Liao people are full of tricks, who knows what they are holding back?" He exhorted straightly.

While talking, someone suddenly heard a low voice, "Look, is there something coming towards us in front? Why do I look like a cavalry?"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked towards the opposite side.In the dark night, there was indeed a faint shadow moving in front of him, and it moved very quickly, as if it was really the cavalry of the Liao army. "Not good, it's the Liao army's surprise attack, the archers are ready, don't let them get close."

The speed of the cavalry was very fast. This time, the Liao army learned how to behave. Instead of concentrating their forces to attack in one place, they lined up and opened a large horizontal row.In this way, the artillery will not work. At this time, bows and arrows can only be used to stop the opponent.

"We must take strict precautions, for fear that they are the cavalry attacking and disturbing us, and there will be a large wave of infantry behind us, so we must pay attention at all times." The guard on the city was still very calm, and then ordered everyone to use bows and arrows to deal with the enemy. Army, try to suppress the cavalry attack.

Although bows and arrows have a shorter range, they also have the advantage of being able to see clearly.It was too dark at night, and I couldn't see clearly from a distance, so I could only bring the enemy army closer and shoot arrows.All the soldiers guarding the city also understood that they must not be careless at this moment, so they bent their bows and set up arrows, waiting for the cavalry below to come to the attack range, they fired all the arrows and shot down.

Because the people in the city were very vigilant and discovered the sneak attack of the Liao army below, this time, the sneak attack obviously failed again.Facing the rain of arrows coming from the city, many cavalry soldiers of the Liao army were hit and fell off their horses one after another.

Originally, the Liao army prepared several groups of cavalry, mainly because they were afraid of the artillery on the city.In this way, the manpower is scattered, and the artillery attack is not easy to use. If there is interference from the cavalry, the infantry hidden behind can quickly approach the city and attack.However, things were not as easy as expected. Although the artillery on the city was useless, the defense was still strong. A few waves of arrows rained down, and the cavalry underneath suffered heavy losses.

At this time, the infantry hidden behind naturally couldn't hide.So the infantry swarmed up, the shieldmen shielded the arrow rain in front, and the archers behind them also fired all arrows towards the city.

In this way, the speed of attack will definitely be slow, and the Liao army will try to get closer. The guards on the city took advantage of this opportunity to fire crossbows with crossbow machines.There are more than a dozen ballistas arranged on the four gates of Luzhou City. This kind of ballista is very powerful. It can fire nearly a hundred spears at a time. It has strong penetrating power and is a sharp weapon for defending the city.

This is the crossbow machine built by Lin Bokang himself after Chu Ruifeng occupied Luzhou.Lin Bokang is not a simple person, he has hills and valleys in his chest, he is not only proficient in the formation of troops, but also has a lot of research on various mechanisms.This ballista was developed by him, and it is powerful.

Sure enough, a dozen crossbows were launched together, and countless spears were shot at the Liao army outside the city.This thing is much more powerful than a bow and arrow, and the shield in the hands of the Liao army can't resist it at all.I saw that the spear directly penetrated the shield, and was pierced together with the shield hand behind. In many cases, a spear can pass through two or three people.

The lethality of the crossbow machine was very powerful, and the Liao army outside the city immediately lost a lot of manpower. For a while, only the sound of wailing was heard everywhere, and the Liao army lost a lot.

When the generals of the Liao army saw this, they knew that tonight they had failed again, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops. "Damn it, how come there are so many strange things in Luzhou City? If this continues, how can we capture Luzhou?" The general of the Liao army scolded his mother angrily.

Originally thought that this time the troop dispatch should be very smooth, after all, Luzhou and Wuwei didn't have many troops to guard it.They mobilized more than 3 elite soldiers to take down a city guarded by 5000 people. Isn't that just like playing?

But that's not the case, Wuwei's defense is strong enough, and the people of the whole city come out to resist.They were so ashamed that they withdrew quickly after missing a hit, and rushed to Luzhou, intending to attack Luzhou.But I didn't expect it, Luzhou is even more terrible, people don't know where to get so many strange things, the power is so great, they can't even touch the edge of Luzhou city, and they will lose their troops.

"General, it's not an option for us to make such a strong attack. The thing made in the opponent's city is too powerful. We have to think about it. If it doesn't work, how about using fatigue tactics? After all, we have a large number of people, and we can attack with a thousand people at a time. , don't wait until the front, as long as the thing is fired from above, we will withdraw."

"I still don't believe it, how many times can they shoot in the city? After all, the number of those spears is limited, and they can shoot down without limit?" One of the generals had a lot of ideas, so he suggested.

The general of the Liao army was right when he heard it. A weapon with such a powerful lethality must not have prepared so many weapons. There will always be a time when it runs out.As long as they have the right method, they will definitely kill the people in the city. "Okay, let's do this. The next step is the wheel battle. A thousand cavalry will charge up, and as soon as the opponent has launched the thing, they will quickly withdraw and see how many times they can use it."

In this way, the Liao army regrouped, and then sent more than 1000 cavalry to attack the city again.But the soldiers defending the city didn't understand what the opponent was going to do. When they saw the opponent approaching, they fired the crossbow again.But this time, when the Liao army saw the launch of the crossbow, they turned around and ran away. Only a few people were injured when they ran too slowly, and most of them were fine.

The Liao army ran back to the camp, and then the second wave of cavalry repeated this action again. After four or five waves came in succession, the east was already faintly bright.And Mo Anyuan and others in the city also noticed that something was wrong, the spear in the crossbow was gone.This thing is difficult to configure, and there were not many spears prepared at the beginning.

"It's broken, we fell for the trick, the spears in the crossbow machine are used up, and we have nothing to stop the enemy."
