Chapter 738 This Is an Ambush

The newly replaced hinge in Yuheng City is neither rusty nor stuck, and it is very labor-saving to push.

As long as the city gate is lowered and a large group of troops enter the city, the team will win!

So far, this round has been going quite smoothly.

One of the big men was about to grin, but an arrow flew from nowhere, piercing through the biting cold wind, and shot into his mouth with a "whoosh" sound!

The strong north wind could not even deviate its direction.

A cloud of blood mist burst out from behind his head, and he fell to the street immediately without even having time to scream.

Then three or four more arrows came, and a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out of the houses on the corner of the street, holding shining swords, spears and axes, and killed them to the city gate in two steps!

Outside the city, when the bandit army was more than 80 feet away from the city gate, more than 200 soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air on the city gate, all of them with bright armor and helmets worn straight.

Whoosh, the arrows flew like rain.

The first row retreated consciously after shooting, and the second row stepped forward to make up for it.

The bandit army immediately dispersed, and all members raised their shields.

The weapons on the city gate rolled over, and they had already been loaded. The muzzle was pointed at the enemy, and the first round of shells was fired.

They were all loaded with shrapnel shells. More than 200 sharp nails as long as the tip of a finger were stuffed into a shell. After hitting the ground and exploding, the sharp nails inside were shot in all directions, and even people and horses were hit into sieves!

The catapults on the city gate have also been started. The hammers fired are all hinge hammers, also called meteor chain hammers. Hitting people's bodies and bones will break tendons and bones. Hitting horses' legs is even more serious. People and horses can fly several feet away in grief.

More than half of the archers and shell loaders on the city are new recruits. Seeing the scene of people and horses falling and blood flying under the city gate, even though they have been mentally prepared, they are still shocked at this moment, and their hands are shaking when they pull the bow and hold the bullets.

There is no doubt that war, blood, screams and death have an impact on novices.

The veterans on the side would often punch them and roar to remind them: "Don't be a coward! Keep going!"

At this time, several thieves in the city who pushed the hinged door were chopped into meat paste. The army outside the city was looking forward to it, but the city gate creaked a few times and did not fall down.

Torches on and off the city were soaring into the sky, and even the dullest leader understood that the internal response had failed.

The plan to break the city gate without attacking was also aborted.

Of course, they still had a way to force the city gate. The two huge bear monsters in the team carried a strong crossbow on their backs. The crossbow arrows were five feet long, and the hooks on the top would bloom and firmly fix them when shot on the city gate.

This giant crossbow does not need to be untied, and can be operated by people behind. Once the crossbow arrows hit the door, there are still a few powerful monsters behind the team, who can try to drag the door down.

But now there is no need to try, because Yuheng City is obviously prepared in advance, just waiting for them to attack!

The sound of gongs rang out in the bandit army, and the messenger was also shouting:

"Retreat, retreat!"

Yuheng City, the city is strong and the artillery is powerful, their chance of victory lies in a surprise attack.

If this prerequisite cannot be achieved, what is the point of continuing the battle? It will only be a waste of life.

So the leader of the bandit army decisively ordered to evacuate.

This team is quite well-mannered, and they did not retreat in a swarm, but turned to the east.

As they fled, the artillery fire on the city became more lively.

Before they could escape a hundred feet, rows of spikes suddenly appeared under the feet of the bandit army. The small ones were like daggers, and the big ones were six or seven feet high. They all rose from the ground without warning, and even people and horses were made into skewers.

There were shouts, screams, and curses everywhere.

This is the pre-set battle formation-a large ground spike formation.

It cannot be moved and consumes a lot of energy. It requires seven or eight magicians to work together to set up the formation and perform the spell. People cannot move when performing the spell.

But the power of the formation is quite considerable, and it is the best choice for ambushes and underhanded attacks.

When the bandits waded out of the ground spike formation and escaped from the range of the city gate's artillery and crossbows, only more than 1,300 of the 2,000 bandits were left, and everyone was terrified.

"Disperse, disperse!" There is a fork in the road ahead, and the chance of survival is higher if they split up into small groups.

This is not far from the border, so everyone should work harder.

As soon as they divided their troops and marched, a large group of people suddenly appeared on the small hill in front of them, and two waves of arrows opened the way, and then swooped down from the woods, shouting and killing!

This is the real ambush!

...

An hour later, the battle was over.

This night battle dragged from the city gate to the border, and there were dead bodies along the way, which made it much more difficult to clean up the battlefield in the later stage.

But everyone's face was full of joy.

The Yuheng City Army won the first battle!

Two thousand bandits were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only more than 600 people escaped, and more than 300 people knelt down on the spot and became prisoners.

He Lingchuan led his troops to the border and saw that the enemy had fled across the Yin River, leaving their armor and helmets all the way. He did not cross the border to chase them directly, but only asked his men to turn around a fat wild boar monster.

It was already scared crazy when it was pushed close, foaming at the mouth, shaking its head and tail. But He Lingchuan just saw with his own eyes that it pushed a Yuheng soldier to the stomach and intestines.

He Lingchuan ordered people to tie a smallest blooming bomb under its belly, light the long fuse, and then drive the pig to the other side.

This pig ran faster than an ordinary horse.

Some people called it along the way, but it turned a deaf ear and only wanted to escape.

Not long after, there were shadowy figures in the woods on the other side, as if many people were running out. Then there was a loud bang, and the blooming bomb exploded.

The soldiers on this side were all laughing.

After appreciating this scene, He Lingchuan ordered his troops to withdraw and return to the city.

On the way, the two armies led by Meng Shan and Liu Tiao also returned one after another, both in triumph.

Meng Shan asked He Lingchuan in a gruff voice: "Boss, how did you know they would attack in a big way?"

He and He Lingchuan were originally rivals, and they fought in life-and-death battles for more than a dozen times. He watched with his own eyes as He Lingchuan grew from weak to strong, and his military rank was raised again and again. Others might be envious, jealous, and hateful, but Mengshan did not have such emotions. Instead, he admired him to the point of admiration.

He can fight, he can kill, and he has brains. He deserves to be promoted to the top position.

"Since I arrived at Ren Yuheng City, they have not come to harass me. They just tried their best to make a big fuss." The halberd in He Lingchuan's hand drooped, and the last drop of blood slipped from the tip of the halberd. "They wanted to give me a blow."

Yuheng City has a new leader. After so many days, it is impossible for the other side not to know about it.

He Lingchuan is the new general of Panlong City. To the outside world, he is not as well-known as Commander Xiao, and the other party will inevitably despise him.

Meng Shan shouted angrily: "If such a small number of troops want to capture Yuheng City, they are looking down on us!"

"They never thought about capturing Yuheng City. They just wanted to bleed us, establish our authority, teach us a lesson, and give me some eye drops." He Lingchuan knew what the situation was now, "In their plan , maybe we can rob something in the east of the city, and when we organize an effective counterattack, they will roar away. "
