"Prepare the cloud ladder!" Xuanpinghou gave another order.

He doesn't believe that his army of 300,000 people can't even destroy Ancheng, which is garrisoned by a mere 10,000 people!

Thinking of this, Xuanping Marquis said again: "Lieutenant General Li, send the order down, and those who attack the city wall will be sealed as the head of a thousand households! Reward a thousand taels of silver! The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land!"

Lieutenant General Li gave the order and repeated it three times in a loud voice, "Master Hou has an order, those who attack the city wall will be awarded the head of a thousand households! A thousand taels of silver will be rewarded! The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land! The Lord Hou has an order... …”

With this order, the soldiers were really encouraged.

Everyone rushed to the front, not afraid of death, and began to take the stairs to attack the city.

However, some people were shot to death by random arrows before they got close to the city, and some managed to build a ladder, climbed to the front of the ladder over many obstacles, and saw that they were about to climb up the city wall, but at this moment, there was something on the city wall. Head splashed.

In an instant, the spicy and sour taste came up, and the eyes were so hot that I couldn't open them at all!

The group of soldiers who were closest to the city wall became half-blind and fell from the high ladder, accompanied by a scream.

Nan Yuan, who was listening to Xiaotang's synchronous live broadcast, suddenly felt that she was really a kind person.

Originally, she wanted the guards to pour oil, but later she felt that this move was a bit damaging.

If a pot of hot oil is poured over the head, and the enemy is smashed from a height, nine times out of ten, they will die, but there are always one or two exceptions.

If a person can't die, with a manly face scalded by hot oil, how much self-abasement and pain would he have to live?

After thinking about it again, although the power of chili water is much smaller than that of boiling oil, it can play a similar role and can be produced in large quantities, so she ordered to replace it with chili water.

Sugar: Is it because the oil is too expensive and the chilli water is cheap?

"Crush! Continue rushing for this Marquis—" Xuanping Marquis shouted, "Lieutenant General Li! Immediately let the big shield cover the rushing car into the city and open the city gate, this Marquis will reward thousands of taels of gold!"

A vanguard death squad each held a one-high siege shield to cover the rushing car and approach the city gate.

There is a pile of boulders at the gate of the city of Ancheng. If you want to hit the door with a ram, you have to remove the boulders blocking the road first.

Unexpectedly, when the big shield was covering the soldiers to carry the boulders, the boulders suddenly rolled down one after another on the city wall.

The boulder fell on the big shield, and several soldiers holding the shield were killed on the spot...

The Marquis of Xuanping never imagined that Ancheng, which he thought would be captured in just a moment, was not captured by his army of 300,000 men after much tossing.

"Master Hou, our team suffered heavy losses, why don't we retreat first and attack another day!" Lieutenant General Li advised.

The Marquis of Xuan Ping held his breath, not letting go, "No, keep attacking!"

This army is continuing to attack the city bitterly, but the smell of meat is coming from the other side of the city wall.

It's still the most attractive braised pork incense!

The soldiers had attacked the city for half a day, and they were already hungry. At this time, when they smelled the fragrance of the meat, there was still no momentum at the beginning.

No matter how unwilling Marquis of Xuanping was, he knew that he had missed the best opportunity to attack the city, and if he continued to toss, the losses would only be more severe.

"Retract the troops, retreat!" Xuanping Hou gritted his teeth.

I thought that Ancheng would be happy to be able to defend the city under the siege of his 300,000-strong army this time. Who would have guessed that the large shields on the city wall had not been completely withdrawn before Xuanping Hou's army had withdrawn.

Then, the group of guards shouted openly on the city wall.

While nibbling on the braised pork trotters in their hands, they laughed loudly at Xuanpinghou.

"Marquis Xuanping was beaten down by us—"

"Marquis Xuanping might as well change his name to Marquis Wolf in the future, let's see how embarrassed Marquis Xuanping is at the moment, hahaha—"

Not only that, but more outrageous operations are coming.

The gates of the city, which the 300,000-strong army could not capture for a long time, were opened and opened in front of them.

At the open city gate, Wei Jun moved away the boulders blocking the city gate, and then a group of cavalry came out from the city gate.

Regardless of the person or the horse, they were all lazy, as if they didn't care about the 300,000 army of Marquis Xuanping.

This cavalry did not catch up, but stopped at the city gate in unison, whispering something, that attitude is hateful!

Three of the cavalrymen even dismounted from their horses, turned themselves in a different direction, and turned their butts against the army of the Marquis of Xuanping.

Tolerable or unbearable?

"The Wei thief is too deceiving! Everyone rushes back with me and kills the Wei thief! Take the city!" Xuanping Hou, who was extremely angry, shouted.

"Master Hou, you can't! Be careful of cheating!" Lieutenant General Li discouraged, but Xuanping Hou had already rushed out.

The other soldiers couldn't, so they had to follow orders.

The Marquis of Xuanping was their lord, and they had to cover him.

The cavalry followed, followed by the infantry, killing the Wei army who were arrogant and provocative.

Seeing that Marquis Xuanping led the army to kill them again, this group of Wei army who showed off their might still waited steadily in place, until the distance between Marquis Xuanping's army and the city wall was getting shorter and shorter, and the soldiers who had left the city gate returned in a hurry. inside the city gate.

The gates closed again.

The young generals who returned to the city gate in time looked calm on the surface, but in fact they were panicked and sweated on their palms.

One person said: "My darling, it was too thrilling just now!"

Another person said: "The Lord has entrusted such an important task to me. How can I disappoint the Lord? I did not make a mistake just now, right? We retreated when the army entered within a hundred feet?"

"That's right, that's right, I finally brought these cavalry here, and then it's up to the other brothers!"

The Marquis of Xuanping used infantry to attack the city before, and he and the cavalry were watching the battle from a distance within a safe range.

Now the Wei army is doing everything possible to lure these cavalry over here, naturally...hehe.

Above the city wall, the archers and projecters were ready, and at the moment when Xuanping Hou led his cavalry to step into the shooting range, countless arrows shot out.

Different from the random arrows fired by the enemy when they attacked the city before, the arrows fired this time are extremely accurate and fast.

Lieutenant General Li was shocked, "Not good! It's a crossbow! It's a crossbow that fires several arrows in a row! Marquis, retreat quickly—"

The production of crossbows is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is extremely powerful. It is a very deadly weapon, and it is also the most feared weapon by cavalry.

It takes a lot of time to train the armored cavalry from riding a horse to fighting on a horse, but the crossbow is easy to operate, and even a rookie can learn it quickly.

The armored cavalry that spends a lot of time training is likely to die in the hands of the recruits who use the crossbow, which makes the cavalry unscrupulous!

Because the crossbow is so important, the blueprint for making the crossbow is a secret of the military.

Ten years ago, there was a famous military craftsman named Huang Yue in the Armaments Bureau.

It's a pity that not long after the continuous crossbow was made, Huang Yue died suddenly and inexplicably.

Later, Huang Yue's crossbow manual, which recorded his life experience, also disappeared.

In the past few years, Lord Hou has been secretly searching for Huang Yue's missing manual, hoping to produce a large number of crossbows.

Unexpectedly, today they will find a crossbow in Wei Jun here, or this kind of repeating crossbow with several arrows!
