Long Tianyu ordered the thousand man teams under his command to gather at the training field and advance towards the west gate. In order to catch all the soldiers off guard, no one was allowed to ignite their torches, they had to move in the darkness, in case the enemy forces outside the city discovered them.
Long Tianyu also sent people to escort his wife home, the girls knew that this was the most crucial battle, they were all worried about their husband's safety, and also worried about the survival of Pengcheng. If the families of the families could not escape the city, the Pengcheng would definitely be plundered like never before.
Guo Yuying, Zhang Qian and Xiao Xiang all started to cry. Lv Zhi, Liu Shishi was still better, as they tried to hold back their tears, but Pure feather Wan'er and Li Yueyao were different from the other girls, they looked at them calmly, thinking that as long as they were together with him, regardless of whether they lived or died, it wasn't important anymore. At worst, they would just follow their husband.
After Long Tianyu advised them a few times, he got the Qin Soldier to escort the five women, Xiao He and the other advisers back to the residence. The second talented girl said that she had to follow them no matter what, even if she was watching from the city gate tower, maybe she would be of some help, but he did not want to change their minds, so he agreed.
Near the west gate, the sounds of slaughter outside the city shook the earth, the arrows flying in the sky were like locusts, the thick city gate was struck a hole, Qin Soldier was rushing in crazily, while guard was swearing to die, both sides' elite soldiers blocked the entrance of the city, the battle was intense.
In less than an hour, the entrance of the city seemed to be filled with piles of corpses, forming a wall of corpses to protect themselves from the onslaught. The torches of the dead were on the ground, lighting up the armor of the corpses.
When Long Tianyu and the others reached the inner parts of the city gates, they saw the Qin Soldier struggling at the city walls. With the momentum spreading out to the inner parts of the city, they believed that in less than two hours, the Qin Army would definitely push the city through with her tactics.
On top of the city walls, Zhou Bo, Lv Ze and the rest of the generals were commanding the guard to resist tenaciously, to resist the attacks of the Qin Soldier.
Long Tianyu, Chunyu Wan'er and Li Yueyao climbed up the Inner Warm City Tower and looked outside the city. Qin Soldier was everywhere, but there was no end in sight, and at this moment, the horns at the city gates in the north, south and east sides blew, and smoke started to rise from them. Qin Army attacked from all four sides, causing the war drums to shake.
Cao Can was shocked: "Chief General, it's not good, now we have four defenses on four sides, we don't have enough troops, I am afraid we won't be able to hold on for long, what should we do?"
Long Tianyu focused and asked, "Is Guo Dian back yet?"
Cao Can replied: "He is currently waiting for orders from the lord. I will send someone to call him over to see the general."
Long Tianyu looked at the enemy flying beneath the city, his sinister look making him disgusted, he said fiercely: "These damned Qin dogs, I must let them have a taste of the pain, send a message to Guo Dian, tie up the Thorned Grass with wasp powder and hang it outside the city wall and light it on fire."
Cao Can immediately ordered his personal guards to send out the order. At this time, the number of generals on the tower could be seen, the rest were scattered all over the place killing the enemy, and the number of casualties was unknown.
It seemed that Zhang Han was afraid that the Chu Army would attack from the north, and at that time, his situation would become even more difficult. Hence, he was determined to end the battle quickly, and after taking over the Pengcheng at all costs, he would then dispatch troops to retaliate.
After Guo Dian received the order from below, he led five hundred soldiers and climbed up the city steps to the top of the city walls. Dozens of people were shot down by the Qin Soldier's crossbow and arrows, while tens of thousands of Qin Soldier's crossbow, firearms, stones, and escalades were used to attack the city from outside the city walls.
Guo Dian ordered the soldiers to tie the Thorny Grass up properly, ignited it and then threw it outside the city, hanging it at half the height of the city wall. The Thorn Grass then produced a large amount of yellow smoke, which dispersed into the air at half the height of the city, making Qin Soldier s who climbed up the cloud ladder feel dizzy, and they fell onto the ground after falling off the cloud ladder. The smoke continued to burn more and more, causing death, injury, and retreat of the enemy troops.
Many of the soldiers of the Qin vanguard camp stopped at the moat and used their shields and war chariots to block the arrows of the defending army. They would wait until the Thorn Grass was completely burnt out before they charged again, but there were some who were not afraid of death.
Seeing this, Long Tianyu thought to himself, this was just like a chemical weapon, it was very common in future wars, but unfortunately, in the ancient times, it could only alleviate crises for a while, and could never be used again.
Zhang Han saw some clues from afar, he instructed the soldiers to soak the cloth in water, so as to avoid inhaling the yellow smoke, the danger had lessened, and the defenders were not given the chance to catch their breath.
A messenger from the Qin Army holding a red flag flew through the phalanx towards the city to deliver the order.
Long Tianyu saw from afar, and said to Xiahou Ying who was downstairs: "Quick, bring this general's iron bow Iron Arrow over."
Xiahou Ying immediately took off the bow and arrows from Chou Yue's horse bag and quickly went up to the city gate tower, passing over the special weapon for the main marshal.
Long Tianyu took the iron bow, nocked an arrow and nocked it with the bowstring. He then extended his arm and with a loud swishing sound, the iron arrow flew into the air like a shooting star.
When the messenger had just entered the perimeter of the iron bow, and was not even close to the moat, he was hit by an arrow in the chest, causing him to fall off his horse. As the energy behind the iron arrow was not enough, he was nailed to the ground, and the Wolf Fang Eagle was still trembling.
The Qin Army in the distance couldn't help but shout out. Who could shoot twice as many arrows as normal on the city walls? With such a powerful arm and godly archery skill, it was a rare sight to see, causing the morale to plummet.
Zhang Han stood on the command post, seeing that the messenger was killed, he was also shocked, he inwardly thought that after attacking the city for a few days, they had not seen anyone with such archery skills. He curiously looked at the high ups of the city center tower, he vaguely saw a man dressed in silver white armor standing at the top of the city, the heroic wind rustling the city, he turned and asked: "Does anyone know who the commander of the city wall is?"
The generals looked into the distance, but shook their heads and remained silent, quietly observing the situation.
Long Tianyu's single shot had a miraculous effect. The two girls and the general by his side immediately became more confident, feeling that the Commander was capable of pulling the waves with his strength, they became excited.
Pure feather Wan'er and Li Yueyao praised at the same time, "Good archery!"
Long Tianyu was excited, he nocked another Wolf Fang Arrow, and shot towards the direction of the flying Qin Soldier's vanguard army, the iron arrow piercing through the sky and striking the flag pole like a bolt of lightning, causing the flag to fall, causing many of the soldiers to be shocked, they all looked towards the direction of the flag, and reduced their offense.
Long Tianyu saw that the Qin Army's morale was low, and thought that the chance to fight had come, he immediately shouted: "Open the gates, I will personally lead the troops to defeat the enemy."
Chen Ying ordered the soldiers at the entrance to open a city gate, at the same time, the archers at the top of the city gates released arrows as a shield, Long Tianyu mounted his war horses, drawing his sword and rushing forward. At the moment, the wasp smoke was almost burnt out, and many Qin Soldier s were using their arrows to climb up the ladder, preparing to climb up.
Long Tianyu was in the middle, commanding the three thousand troops. Xiahou Ying, Ji Chengji, Qiqiang and the other high-ranking officers were leading the thousand man army. They separated into different formations outside the city, and pounced towards the Qin Army's group.
Even though there were only fifteen thousand men from the allied army, which was not an elite division, but according to the array, regardless of whether the Qin Soldier s over there charged towards them, they were all trapped in a formation of one or two thousand-man squads, unable to unleash their full power, and were unable to slay the enemy.
, Lv Ze, Ji Xin and the other high-ranking officers quickly exterminated the Qin Army who climbed up, stabilising the high ground, using their superior position to force back another wave of enemies.
No matter how many Qin Soldier s there were, there was a limit to the space of the battlefield, so it was impossible for all of them to go up and fight. As a result, all of the soldiers at the frontlines who were fighting would fall, and the tens of thousands of troops that were going to be replenished would be blocked by Long Tianyu's formation.
