The moment Heavenly Eagle Army came, they would put up a posture of surrounding the city to attack. However, due to the loud thunder from the Heavenly Eagle Army, rain fell and surrounded the city for two days, they did not send out even a single soldier or general to attack Qingyuan.
If did not attack, Li You would not dare be careless. He closed the city gates, and strictly forbade Member from leaving the city to meet the enemy. At the same time, he could see that the enemy was counting on Zhang Siting as their chess piece, waiting for Zhang Siting to open the city gate for them so that they could successfully infiltrate the city.
Two days later, late at night, when the sky was getting ugly, Zhang Siting followed Li You's instructions and brought more than twenty trusted Ning Soldier s to the South City side. Currently, there were no guards at the South City door, and Zhang Siting and his subordinates had smoothly opened the city gate.
He had opened the South City door, but it was only open the outer city gates, the inner city gates were still tightly locked, and at this time, the inner and outer city walls were filled with soldiers and General of Ning Country s. From the bottom to the bottom, he couldn't see much, but from the top to the bottom, one could see that the two sides of the city walls were basically filled with soldiers of the Ning family, at least thirty to forty thousand people.
There was a difference between an inner city and an outer city, and there was a distance of less than thirty meters between the two. Furthermore, the space around this part of the ring was completely empty, without even obstacles.
Zhang Siting held a torch in his hand and shook it for a long time. Finally, the southern troop of Feng Army started to move, the Barracks Gate was quickly opened up by someone, and following that, countless of Feng Country infantrymen came out from the camp. Most of the Wind Infantry soldiers were lightly dressed, wearing only the Feng Army's military uniform, without any armor. However, they all had a helmet on their heads, looking at the scene, it was as red as a tassel, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Just looking carefully, the number of Feng Country Infantry soldiers that surged out was probably close to fifty thousand.
After the infantry left the Feng Army Camp, they saw the same kind of cavalry armor. The cavalry armor was very complete, but the horses' hooves were still wrapped in a thick layer of cotton, so that their horses wouldn't make too much noise while advancing.
Zhang Siting could see it clearly. Just by looking at the number of people rushing out, he knew that it was Main Force of Feng Army that had come out at full strength. He did not dare to tarry any longer at the spot, and quickly retreated into the city while ordering his subordinates to completely open the gates.
None of them wore any armor, and their Feng Army s were indeed extremely fast. Every single one of them used all of their strength to run forward, forty to fifty thousand people surged towards the South City gate like a tide. Regardless of how well-prepared they were, if so many people were to run together, they would definitely make a sound. Hearing the dense and chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside the city, even without looking, Ning Jun who was hidden on top of the city walls could feel that there were a lot of people coming from the Feng Army. People's nerves had started to tense up, and many soldiers' faces were dripping with cold sweat.
The General of Ning Country s were nervous as well, but they remained calm on the surface. One by one, they waved to the soldiers under their command, telling them to not act rashly, and to not take action until after Feng Army entered the city.
Without a doubt, its Feng Army had smoothly charged all the way to the city gate, and the people did not even pause for a moment, as if they had returned to their own homes, and directly passed through the city gate, flocking towards the city.
Until now, Feng Army had not developed any intention of vigilance, and continued to run forward. When he arrived in front of the city gates of the inner city, Feng Army habitually reached out his hand to push open the gates, wanting to open the gates of the inner city as well. But how could they open the tightly sealed inner city gates?
Since they could not open the inner city gate, everyone in Feng Army were anxious. One of them could not hold back and shouted: "Open the gate!"
Li You, who was also lying prone on the city walls, almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Open the door? Do you really think that Zhang Siting is one of us, that everything is properly arranged for you? Seeing that the main force of the Feng Army was almost here, and only the cavalry had yet to enter the city, Li You was afraid that it would cause too much trouble, the Feng Army was suspicious, without waiting any longer, he turned his head to the side and waved his hand at the guards below him. Upon seeing that, the guard immediately half knelt on the city walls, nocked an arrow, and shot it through the air with his bow.
In the silent night, the screeching of the arrows piercing through the sky was especially ear-piercing. Following the screeching of the arrows, the Ning army who were initially lying on the city walls stood up at the same time, and in an instant, tens of thousands of torches were lit on top of the city walls. Looking up, the Outer Wall inside the Qingyuan had turned into two long fiery dragons.
"Vow!"
It was unknown who shouted, but tens of thousands of torches were thrown down from the top of the city and all of them landed on this narrow strip of land between the Outer Wall s. Several tens of thousands of torches landed on the ground, causing the pitch black space to light up as if it was day, people lowered their heads and looked down, and what was below them was so dark that they couldn't even count the number of Feng Soldier s that were in Feng Army uniforms.
"Release the arrows!"
"Release the arrows — release the arrows!"
The voices of the Ning Jun Generals s rang out at the same time. The forty thousand or so Ning Soldier s on top of the city walls took out all of their bows and arrows, aimed at the Feng Army below, and launched their arrows in unison. She didn't even need to aim at the target. As long as she was in the right direction, she could close her eyes and shoot.
The Arrow Rain s on the two sides of the wall descended in unison. This time, the Feng Soldier s who were trapped in the middle suffered greatly because they had nowhere to dodge or shield from the dense barrage of Arrow Rain. In the blink of an eye, a large portion of the Feng Army beneath the city walls fell to the ground. This was just the beginning. Ning Jun's arrows were endless, and as soon as the first wave of people finished shooting, they would immediately retreat. The second wave of people went up and released more arrows, one after another, each stronger than the last, as if they would never stop.
The miserable cries of Feng Army below rose and fell one after another. Some were shot in the head, while others were shot in the head. Even the empty space between the crowd was filled with Eagle Feather Arrow s. The corpse covered the Eagle Feather Arrow on the ground, and then the falling Eagle Feather Arrow covered the corpse again, and the new corpse covered the Eagle Feather Arrow once more … With this cycle, corpses piled up like mountains, and fresh blood quickly turned this narrow stretch of land between the Outer Wall into a river of blood.
If this wasn't a evenly matched fight, then this was a one-sided massacre. Feng Army didn't even have the slightest ability to retaliate as groups of people fell to the ground.
Seeing that they had been caught in the enemy's trap, the few thousand Feng Country Knights who had not managed to enter the city did not even make a move to rescue them. Fortunately, the army of Ning did not place the thousands of cavalry outside the city in their eyes. All of their attention was focused on the Wind Infantry soldiers who had entered the city; otherwise, even if the cavalry soldiers ran fast, they would not be able to escape unscathed under the arrows of the army of Ning.
The battle had gone smoothly for Ning Jun, but the Feng Army was a tragic sight to behold. Four to fifty thousand people trapped in the inner and outer cities of the Qingyuan, unable to enter or retreat, becoming living targets for others. In the midst of the chaos, many of the Feng Soldier s cried out, "Don't shoot arrows! We are one of your kind! We are one of your kind!"
It would have been better if they hadn't shouted like that. After hearing these words, the Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army became even more furious, shooting even more arrows rapidly and ruthlessly.
The array of arrows mercilessly shot down all the living beings on the battlefield. After every round of arrow formations wreaked havoc, a large area of the battlefield no longer had a living person who could breathe, only corpses that were filled with Eagle Feather Arrow s.
forty to fifty thousand Feng Army s, to the point where they did not even make a single threatening or honorable counterattack. They were all shot down by Ning Jun who was lying on the city wall in ambush, and by the time the battle had reached the end, the ground was no longer visible between the internal Outer Wall s, and there were only layers of corpses on the ground. Ning Jun had originally prepared five hundred thousand Eagle Feather Arrow.
Since the corpses had covered the torches that had just been thrown down, the city was now pitch black. Even Ning Jun who was on the city wall was unable to see the situation, and continued to mechanically shoot downwards. Hearing that there were no longer any movements from below the city, Li You rolled his eyes and waved his hand to his soldiers, signalling for them to delay their firing of arrows. Then, he ordered his soldiers to ignite their torches again and throw them outside the city.
When they threw the new torches under the city walls, everyone focused their eyes on them and couldn't help but gasp. Some people were like hedgehogs with arrows stuck all over their bodies, while some people were not even killed by the arrows, and were still wiggling in the midst of the corpses. When Ning Jun had blindly shot the arrows, he did not think of anything else, and now that he had clearly seen Feng Army's miserable state, his heart could not help but tremble.
"Large... Lord! The Feng Army in the city seemed to be … All dead! " A Ning Jun general beside Li You stammered.
"Yes!" Li You was born a great general, and had experienced many storms. Right now, he was much more calm than the soldiers under his command. Everyone, follow me down to take a look! "
"Yes!" "My Lord!"
Li You led his soldiers and guards down the city walls, opened the inner city gates and walked out. Seeing it from the top of the city gate was still alright, now that he was personally on the battlefield, the scene could only be described as shocking. When he came out, the people immediately frowned at the smell of blood, Li You also took out a handkerchief from his chest and covered his nose.
He wanted to walk deeper into the cave, but there was no place to stay in this big place. It was completely covered in corpses, and Li You and the rest could only walk forward while stepping on top of Feng Army's corpses. Li You was a dignified Middle General, and he had his own brilliant skills. At this moment, he wasn't afraid of any dying Feng Army hiding amongst the corpses, and they were sneak attacking him.
After walking forward for not too long, he suddenly felt something trip him up. He subconsciously looked down and saw a Feng Soldier whose face was covered in blood grabbing onto his pants leg.
"How dare you!" Seeing that, the guard beside Li You raised his sword, and was about to stab down towards the Feng Soldier.
Just at this time, the dying Feng Army opened his mouth and spoke in an intermittent voice, "Big … Why did you... To Wait For Me... "This poisonous hand …"
