Chapter 182 'Monster'

After Xia Houyuan returned to Runan City, he was even cautious with Gao Shun's troops. Using these methods was useless. On the contrary, if he was not careful, he would fall into the pit, and he simply put up the avoidance card directly and did not fight against him.

Runan belongs to Jingzhou. Jingzhou is a fertile land with sufficient soldiers and food, and the advantage of the city wall. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, Xia Houyuan waited for Gao Shun to attack and preserve his own strength.

However, Gao Shun was not in a hurry to attack the city, but sent people to call for battle, but Xia Houyuan ignored him, as if he hadn't heard it, and there was no wave in the city.

It was still like this for several days in a row, and by the way, Gao began to order people to carry utensils and prepare to attack the city.

At this time, Xia Houyuan finally reacted, and began to stand on the top of the wall waiting for Gao Shun's attack, looking very excited.

Following Gao Shun's order, the war drums roared, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and groups of soldiers rushed forward carrying the ladders.

Xia Houyuan immediately ordered the archers to get ready.

500 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters.

"draw the bow"

Xia Houyuan gave an order, and the archers were all ready to bow.

"put"

As soon as Gao Shun's team rushed to the range, Xia Houyuan gave an order, and a round of arrows shot towards the enemy.

However, the moment Xia Houyuan uttered the word "Fang", Gao Shun's drumbeat stopped and changed to Mingjin instead.

Originally, the soldiers were still stunned, watching the rain of arrows rushing from the sky, they could no longer be distracted, turned around and ran back in a hurry.

But it was still a bit late. It didn't matter what happened later, but it was different in the front. Many soldiers who didn't realize it didn't run out of the shooting range because of this dazed effort, and were unfortunately hit by arrows.

The soldiers who were injured and survived were rescued by Gao Shun.

Then the beating of drums started again, but this time many soldiers learned to be smart, and the speed of charging slowed down a lot.

The bow is full again, shoot again.

run again.

This time the damage was significantly less.

Charge again, get in range again, come back again.

But this time Xia Houyuan did not order to shoot arrows.

Seeing this situation, Gao Shun stopped continuing and turned back to the camp.

This made Xia Houyuan baffled, not only him, but even the soldiers under Gao Shun's command didn't know what he was doing.

Another new day is approaching, and Gao Shun led his troops to the city again to implement yesterday's plan.

However, Xia Houyuan was still not fooled again.

This continued for several days.

The soldiers were already tired, but Xia Houyuan still had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He really didn't understand the significance of Gao Shun's actions.

"It's not good, it's not good, monsters attack the city, monsters attack the city"

Hearing this shout, Xia Houyuan's heart skipped a beat, he ran out in a hurry and asked, "What happened?"

"Report to the general, it's not good, monsters attack the city"

"What kind of monster attacked the city, tell me clearly." Xia Houyuan was a little dissatisfied. Although he is more superstitious these days, he has never seen any monsters, especially on the battlefield. In front of tens of thousands of troops, even monsters are useless Bar.

"Heaven, General, Heaven"

Xia Houyuan looked up and saw a UFO approaching in the distant sky, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

The most frightening thing is not some terrible creature, but ignorance.

The appearance of the hot air balloon, for people like them, is undoubtedly an unknown life form, that is, a monster.

Monsters are terrifying because they have no fixed form, cannot be described with exact things, and have no way to resist.

Xia Houyuan hurriedly ordered the archers to assemble, ready to shoot these 'monsters'.

But as the distance got closer, the 'monster' flew higher and higher.

"Zhang Deliang is really a god and man, even the monsters can be invited to help."

Xia Houyuan said involuntarily.

The monster in front of him was about 300 meters away from him in the sky, and the bow and arrow in his hand was useless at all, and it was not within the shooting range at all.

The 'monster' was getting closer and closer to the city until it flew above him.

But this 'monster' didn't do anything, it just kept flying towards the city.

This made Xia Houyuan even more confused.

Xia Houyuan sent people to follow closely, but the 'monster' just circled around the city and turned back.

At this time, Xia Houyuan was even more terrified. If you said anything else, just use this 'monster' to sneak into the city with a few people on its back. If you open the city gate without precaution, it will be easy for the enemy to break through.

Thinking of this, he was even more puzzled. Zhang Lan has countless capable people, and the chief general Gao Shun and the supervisor Pang Tong are even more intelligent characters. How could they not have thought of this?

It's just that what he can't understand is that the "monster" in his eyes is just a hot air balloon. Hot air balloons need fire, and the only way to sneak into the city with a hot air balloon is at night, but the flames of the hot air balloon at night are undoubtedly the best Dazzling light, it is impossible to use sneak action.

The purpose of the appearance of the hot air balloon this time was to detect the enemy's situation, and the mission was successfully completed, and the location of the enemy's food and grass was found out.

Afterwards, Gao Shun ordered his men to sleep during the day, and did not divide his troops into four groups until night. They entered from the four gates of Runan, and hot air balloons began to lift off one by one, and began to move quickly towards the city of Runan.

This scene is undoubtedly spectacular for the common people, a little bit of fire is as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

But for Xia Houyuan, it was undoubtedly the beginning of a nightmare.

The moment he saw the flames again, he had already guessed the purpose of these 'monsters', which was food and grass.

He hastily ordered people to go to the food and grass place to put it away, but halfway through, the 'monster' started to breathe fire, and one by one fireballs fell from the sky and began to burn in all directions.

The city was suddenly in chaos, and everyone focused on these 'monsters', busy fighting the fire.

Although they acted quickly and had some precautions, they were still a little too late, and part of the food was ignited by the flame spit out by the 'monster'.

At the time of the most panic, there were bursts of killing shouts in the distance.

Xia Houyuan turned pale with shock, the voice came from not only one side, but from all sides.

Xia Houyuan is a wise general, how could he not understand at this time, this is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

In a hurry, he quickly gathered his troops and rushed towards the north gate, but it was too late.

Countless soldiers have climbed to the top of the city and opened the gate.

Tens of thousands of people rushed into the city, and now he is like a turtle in a urn, only by desperately breaking through can he have a chance of survival.

Therefore, he made a decisive decision, turned around and led the crowd to kill towards the south gate.
