Chapter 558
Two days passed in a flash. The Sky Eagle Army encircled the city with great force. As soon as they arrived at Qingyuan, they took up a posture of besieging the city. However, the Sky Eagle Army was thundering loudly and raindrops fell. They besieged the city for two days and not a single person was sent. Bing Yi will storm Qingyuan TXT download.
The Tianying army did not attack, and Li You did not dare to be careless. He closed the city gate tightly and strictly prohibited his troops from leaving the city to meet the enemy. At the same time, he also saw that the enemy army was counting on Zhang Siting as a chess piece and wanted to wait for Zhang Siting to help them open the city gate. So that Feng Jun could sneak into the city smoothly.
Two days later, late at night, when the sky was getting close to dark, Zhang Siting followed Li You's arrangement and brought more than 20 close soldiers from Ning to Nancheng. At this time, there was not even a guard at the south gate. Zhang Siting and his men The soldiers successfully opened the city gate, and then opened a gap in the city gate. Zhang Siting got out sideways. He stood in front of the city gate, took out the fire twister, lit the torch, and then shook it repeatedly at the Fengjun camp opposite.
He opened the south city gate, but only the outer city gate was opened. The inner city gate was still locked tightly, and at this time, there were Ning soldiers and Ning generals lying on the walls of the inner and outer cities. You can't see anything from the bottom up, but if you look up from the top, you will find that the two city walls have been basically covered by Ning's army, at least 30,000 to 40,000 people.
Qingyuan is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The distance between them is less than ten feet. Moreover, this circular space is empty without any obstacles. Once Feng Jun really enters, he will face two city walls. The consequences of the arrow formation will be unimaginable.
Zhang Siting held a torch in his hand and shook it for a while. Finally, there was movement in the South Camp of the Feng Army. The camp gate was quickly opened, and then countless Feng Army infantry poured out of the camp. Perhaps they were afraid that the armor would make too much noise while running. Most of these wind infantrymen were lightly dressed in battle. They only wore the military uniforms of the wind army and did not wear armor. However, they all wore helmets on their heads. Looking up, they saw red tassels covering the sky and the ground. , only a cursory look, estimated that the Feng Kingdom infantry that poured out was close to 50,000 people.
After the infantry left the Fengjun camp, they were followed by cavalry. The cavalry's armor was very complete, but the horses' hooves were still wrapped in thick cotton cloth to prevent the horses from making too much noise when advancing.
Zhang Siting could see clearly. Just by looking at the number of people coming out, he knew that the main force of the Feng Army was coming out. He did not dare to delay where he was, and asked his soldiers to fully open the city gate while retreating into the city.
Without wearing armor, the Feng army was indeed very fast. Every one of them ran forward with all their strength. Forty to fifty thousand people rushed towards the south gate of Qingyuan like a tide. No matter how well prepared they are, with so many people running wildly together, there will be no sound. Listening to the rumbling, dense and messy footsteps outside the city, Ning Jun, who was hiding on the top of the city, could feel the huge number of people coming from the Feng Army even if he didn't look at it. People's nerves began to become highly tense, and many soldiers Cold sweat was dripping from his face.
The Ning generals were also nervous, but on the surface they were still calm. They waved to the soldiers under their command, telling them not to act rashly and wait until the Feng army entered the city before taking action.
Undoubtedly, the wind army rushed to Qingyuan's city gate smoothly. People didn't even pause for a moment. They walked directly through the city gate as if they were returning to their own homes and swarmed into the city.
Feng Jun entered the city continuously. People looked around and saw no Ning Jun. Until this moment, Feng Jun still did not show any signs of vigilance. He continued to run forward and came to the gate of the inner city. Feng Jun They also habitually reached out to push the city gate, wanting to open the inner city gate as well, but how could they push open the tightly sealed inner city gate?
Unable to open the inner city gate, everyone in the Feng Army became anxious. Some of them couldn't help shouting: "Open the door!"
Li You, who was also lying on the city wall personally directing the battle, almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Open the door? Do you really think that Zhang Siting is one of your own and have everything arranged for you? Seeing that the main force of the Feng Army was almost there, and only the cavalry had not entered the city, Li You was afraid that the night would be long and the Feng Army would become suspicious. Immediately he half-knelt on the top of the city, twisted his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot a rattle arrow in the air.
Chirp - In the silent night, the screams of the rattle arrows streaking across the sky were particularly harsh. As the screams of the rattle arrows rang out, the Ning army who had been lying on the city wall all stood up. It took only a moment In the meantime, tens of thousands of torches were lit on top of the city. Looking up, Qingyuan's inner and outer city walls turned into two long fire dragons.
"cast--"
Someone yelled, and tens of thousands of torches were thrown down from the top of the city, all falling into the narrow strip of land between the inner and outer city walls. Tens of thousands of torches fell to the ground, suddenly turning the dark space The light was as bright as day, and people lowered their heads and looked down. Well, the dark people below were all Feng soldiers wearing Feng Army uniforms. They couldn't even count them.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrow—shoot the arrow—"
The shouts of the generals of the Ning Army rang out at the same time. The approximately 40,000 Ning Army soldiers on the city wall all took out their prepared bows and arrows, pointed them at the Feng Army below, and started firing volleys. There is no need to aim at this time. As long as the direction is correct, you can kill the opponent by shooting arrows with your eyes closed.
The rain of arrows from both sides of the city wall fell at the same time, which made the Fengjun soldiers caught in the middle suffer. Facing the dense rain of arrows, the Fengjun soldiers had nowhere to hide and no shields to block. In just a blink of an eye, a large number of Fengjun soldiers under the city wall were shot down. This was just the beginning. The arrow array of the Ning army was endless. After one round of shooting, they immediately retreated, and the second round of people stepped forward to continue shooting arrows. The arrow array was one wave after another, one wave stronger than the other, as if it would never stop.
The screams of the Fengjun soldiers below came one after another. Some were shot in the body, some were shot in the head, and even the open space between the crowd was full of eagle feathers. The corpses covered the eagle feathers on the ground, and then the eagle feathers falling from the sky covered the corpses again, and the new corpses covered the eagle feathers again... In this cycle, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and the blood was about to turn the narrow strip between the inner and outer walls into a river of blood.
This was not a fight of equal strength, but a one-sided massacre. The Feng army had no power to fight back, and fell to the ground in groups.
The thousands of Feng cavalry who had not had time to enter the city saw that they had fallen into the enemy's trap, and did not even make a move to enter the city to rescue. The rear team became the front team on the spot, and they fled back to their own camp like dogs that had lost their homes. Fortunately, the Ning army did not take the thousands of cavalry outside the city seriously at all, and focused on the Feng infantry entering the city. Otherwise, even if the cavalry ran fast, it would not be possible to escape unscathed under the Ning army's arrow formation.
The Ning army fought smoothly in this battle, but the Feng army was miserable. Four or five thousand people were trapped between the inner and outer cities of Qingyuan, unable to advance or retreat, and became living meat targets. In the chaos, many Fengjun soldiers cried out: "Don't shoot, we are our own people, we are our own people——"
It would have been better if they didn't shout like that. After hearing this, the Ningjun soldiers became even more angry and shot arrows more urgently and fiercely, muttering viciously in their hearts: Who the hell is your own people? !
The Fengjun's pleading became a catalyst for the Ningjun to become more and more crazy. Rounds of overwhelming arrow formations mercilessly shot and killed all living things on the battlefield. After each round of arrow formations, a large area could not find a single living person who could breathe, and there were only corpses covered with eagle feathers.
The 40,000 or 50,000 Feng troops did not even make a threatening or decent counterattack. They were shot and killed one by one by the Ning troops ambushed on the city wall. When the battle came to an end, the ground between the inner and outer walls could no longer be seen. The ground was covered with layers of corpses. The Ning army had originally prepared 500,000 eagle feathers. After a battle, the soldiers almost shot all the eagle feathers in the quiver.
Because the corpses covered the torches thrown down at the beginning, it was now pitch black under the city. The Ning army on the city wall could not see what was happening below, and they still mechanically shot blindly downwards. Hearing that there was no movement under the city, Li You rolled his eyes and waved to his soldiers, signaling everyone to hold off shooting arrows. Then he ordered the soldiers to light the torches again and throw them under the city.
When the new torches were thrown under the city, people looked at them again and gasped. As far as the eye can see below the city, there are densely packed corpses of Feng Army. Some of them are like hedgehogs with arrows all over their bodies, while some are not dead after being shot, and are still wriggling and groaning in the pile of corpses. The Ning Army didn't think about anything else when they were blindly shooting arrows. Now that they see the miserable appearance of the Feng Army, they can't help but tremble in their hearts.
"Sir! It seems that all the Feng Army who entered the city... are dead!" A Ning Army general beside Li You said with a slightly stuttering voice.
"Yes!" Li You was born as a general and had experienced many storms. At this time, he was much calmer than his soldiers. He responded calmly and said with his head tilted: "Close the outer city gate! Everyone follow me to take a look!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Li You led a group of generals and guards down the city wall, opened the inner city gate, and walked out of the inner city. It was better to look at it from the city, but now that I am on the battlefield in person, the scene can only be described as shocking. As soon as they came out, people frowned at the smell of blood. Li You also took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his nose.
He wanted to walk deeper, but there was no place to stand in such a large place. It was completely covered with corpses. Li You and others could only walk slowly forward on the corpses of Feng Jun. Li You is a dignified lieutenant general. He has an outstanding and good way to do things. At this time, he is not afraid that there are still surviving Feng Jun hiding in the pile of corpses to attack him.
Not long after walking forward, he suddenly felt his feet tighten, as if he was tripped by something. He subconsciously looked down and found that a Feng Jun soldier with a bloody face and body grabbed his trouser leg.
"Bold!" Seeing this, the guard beside Li You raised his sword and planned to stab the Feng soldier.
At this moment, the dying Feng Jun spoke incoherently: "Why...why did you...do such a vicious thing to me..."
