Chapter 228 Repel a wave
Ba Chengtian and other Beirou soldiers also found it strange. They all hid behind several layers of high shields, but why did the arrow rain in front of them still not stop?
The sun had already climbed high at this time, the hot sun was scorching the earth, Yin Miao was lying on the window on the tower and watching the situation outside.
"Sister, they shot a lot of bows and arrows, but they couldn't get through their shields."
Brother Han also looked anxious.
"Although this arrow was made by someone else, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste?" Wei only said to her daughter.
Yin Miao smiled and said, "When we came up just now, do you remember what those refugees were doing down there?"
"I remember, I remember, they were wiping arrows!" Brother Han replied.
"Yes and no, they were wiping arrows, but with a cloth soaked in kerosene."
Yin Miao replied that most of the arrow body is made of wood, only the front and rear ends are made of iron, and smearing kerosene on the arrow body is also a method that Xiao Xuan came up with.
"Kerosene?" Brother Han asked in confusion.
"Did they mean to..."
Wei Shi's eyes widened, she probably understood now.
Look carefully at the front of the city gate. Withered grass grows and withered trees everywhere. If it burns, the Beirou soldiers will definitely not dare to move forward.
What a great trick.
"Anmu City is only suitable for defense now. If we can defend this city this time, we will win."
Yin Miao looked down, she didn't understand this kind of war, but she could vaguely remember when the zombies besieged the city in the previous life, as long as the city was not broken, they would win.
Things were just as Yin Miao had analyzed. After the arrows rained for a while, just as the Beirou soldiers were about to attack the city again, Xiao Xuan gave an order and several flaming arrows shot down without warning.
Boom!
A cluster of flames suddenly sprang up in front of a row of iron shields. Before the Beirou soldiers behind the shields realized it, the flames spread along the hay on the ground.
The fire was burning with the shield, and no one could hold on to the scalding shield any longer, so Beirou soldiers had to retreat one after another.
"Keep shooting arrows!"
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes, holding a bow and arrow and fired an arrow.
Countless Beirou soldiers were shot through by arrows behind them when they turned to escape the flames, and flames ignited on many of them, which made Xu Mang and other archers even more excited.
Among the thousand arrows, one arrow shot towards Wumakui in the form of a bamboo-shattering wind. Wumakui already had a human shield on his horse's back, and the man's back was also shot into a sieve. Wumakui only needed to resist. A sharp arrow flying from above is enough.
A muffled groan emerged from Wuma Kui's throat. He looked down in disbelief, and an arrow shot through the body of the person behind him and strung them tightly together!
Fortunately, the arrow did not hurt the vital point, and they have retreated a long distance at this moment.
On the city wall, Liang Sheng was excitedly seeing Wuma Kui who was hit by the arrow through the telescope. He could still hit him from such a distance, and he could still shoot through one person. What kind of power is this? !
Xiao Xuan resisted the strangeness in his heart and put away his bow and arrow, even he could feel the strange part of his body. He seems to... his strength has become stronger, and his physical strength has become stronger?
The flames outside the city wall were blazing brightly, watching the retreating Beirou soldiers, the people above let out bursts of happy cries.
"The flames are only temporary, so let's all keep fighting."
Xiao Xuan said.
"Yes, Young Master Xiao."
Liang Sheng didn't expect to scare the Beirou soldiers away with just a few boxes of arrows, but this first success brought some confidence to the defenders and the people.
"Haha, as long as we don't open the door, they won't be able to come in."
"Yeah, last time it was because those traitors opened the door for the barbarians that they drove straight in."
"Guard the city gate, we won't be afraid!"
The people said one after another, and it was fortunate that Xiao Xuan informed them that the Beirou soldiers were coming, so the city gate could be blocked in time.
However, the problem soon came. The fire only lasted for two hours. By the evening, the Beirou soldiers in the distance began to move again.
It's just that those Beirou soldiers stopped advancing, and even started to camp in the distance.
"How is this going?"
Zhao Kangyu thought that the Beirou soldiers had already run away, but he did not expect them to come again.
Shen Qiu said solemnly: "Setting up camp in front of the city is to surround us."
Siege?
When everyone heard it, they immediately lost the joy of winning, especially Liang Sheng and others who knew the situation in the city. They must know that there is not much food in the city. There are many similar battles in history, all because they were besieged to the point of running out of water and food. was willing to surrender.
If that's the case, they won't be able to hold on for a few days.
"Ah? How can I do this!"
Zhao Kangyu exclaimed after hearing this.
"These Beirou people are forcing us to death!"
"Just open the city gate and go out and fight them to death!"
"I have a wife and children in my family, why are we living in troubled times..."
“…”
There was lamenting above the city wall, and many young soldiers also stood silently on the side, quietly watching the Beirou soldiers who surrounded them in the distance.
Shen Qiu noticed that Xiao Xuan seemed to have quietly disappeared in front of the city wall at this time.
In the tower where the family of four rested, several people discussed the current situation vaguely.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I have enough there."
In order not to let Brother Han understand and say more outside, Yin Miao omitted the word "food".
"Enough is enough, but I'm afraid Young Master Xiao will have to find a way again."
Wei said that the whole city was sealed off, so what is the name of the food is also a problem.
"I'll do it."
Xiao Xuan smiled, he was already used to it.
"It can only be like this right now, if it weren't for Miao'er... tens of thousands of people in this city would suffer!"
Yin Bowu was even a little worried that there was not enough food in Yin Miao to support so many people to survive for so long, and the most important thing was to have water to drink.
"There are places in Anmu City that they can't seal, and we have our own way to bring them in."
Xiao Xuan said, we were referring to him and Yin Miao, but in the ears of the couple, they heard Xiao Xuan and his all-powerful dead men.
"You mean secret way?!"
Yin Bowu was astonished, did the former King Xuan even know the situation here?
Xiao Xuan glanced at Yin Miao, and the two of them nodded in unison.
Since the secret way is said, it is the secret way.
Anyway, the secret way means a secret passage. If they don’t say it, no one can find it.
"Han'er also wants to go to the secret passage."
Brother Han didn't understand anything, only remembered the word secret passage.
"Brother Han, the secret way cannot be known, and this matter must not be told to outsiders."
Weiss warned.
Brother Han nodded in understanding, but Wu Liuliu's eyes shone with excitement.
