Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 171
Just as he was talking, Wen Zhemao suddenly turned his head, motioning Harry to look outside the city.

Under the city tower, Turhachi's troops hadn't withdrawn yet, but it seemed that nothing had happened to the Yan family's army, which had just killed more than 3000 people.

The archers who had been prepared a long time ago stepped forward and shot and killed all Turhachi's troops who had not had time to evacuate.

Harry's eyes widened with anger, and blood seemed to drip from his eyes as big as copper bells.

"Have you made up your mind yet?"

Wen Zhemao asked, "They are already planning to attack the city."

Outside the city tower, the strings of the catapults that were waiting in full force were tightened, and boulders were loaded into the catapults, ready to go.

"You Xirong have fought against them for most of your life. You have rich experience in siege warfare, but you are always on the attacking side. Have you ever had experience in defending the city?"

Wen Zhemao asked, and pointed to Bai Shu downstairs with a smile, "But Bai Shu has fought with you for half his life, have you ever seen his methods of attacking the city? The method of taking back Yacheng from you back then was Bai Shu's handwriting. "

Harry was taken aback.

He was not the general in the last battle, but he also knew that they used the intelligence of the Wu'an internal thieves to break into the interior of Western Xinjiang, and took back Yacheng in a flanking attack. Less than half a month later, they were repelled by Meng Shulan and others who led their troops back. Take back Bud City.

No wonder he is so capable, it turns out that the veteran Bai Shu is manipulating behind this!
They lost that battle quickly and without the power to fight back.

One is, as Wen Zhemao said, they have always been on the side of attacking others. They have the means to attack the city, but after taking the city, most of them search it and let it go, and continue to capture the next one. They have little experience in defending the city. .

The second is caught off guard.

This person's use of troops cannot be deduced with common sense; or, they are used to the Yan family's style of play, while Bai Shu and the Yan family's methods are completely different, which made them suffer from lack of information.

In the previous battles, they only knew that Bai Shu was one of Yan Kangming's fierce generals, who could execute every order Yan Kangming gave to him, but they never had a deeper understanding of him.

"Okay, this battle, I listen to you!"

Halihun knew that he had little chance of winning against Bai Shu, who didn't know the depth, but the princess in the city who ran into the battlefield willfully told him that he must not lose this battle.

Once Ma Shaduo dies here, Khan will never let him go lightly!

Seeing Harry Hun let go, Wen Zhemao smiled slightly, put his sword back into its sheath, and was full of joy, as if all the humiliation he had suffered in these days were elated at this moment.

"Close the city gates and form a shield array!"

Wen Zhemao shouted loudly, "Archers line up! Bring up the catapult!"

As soon as Wen Zhemao finished speaking, a huge boulder roared towards him outside the city.

"Squat down! Form a shield formation!"

While shouting, Wen Zhemao squatted down against the battlements, pulled the shields of the soldiers around him, and raised his hands to lean on himself.

Even though Wen Zhemao moved quickly, the big boulder smashed into the broken small stones on the tower, and still cut several holes in his body.

Those soldiers who didn't have time to react were hit by countless tricks, and some were even hit directly by boulders, and they became a bloody pool at that time.

The fear of predictable death immediately made the Xi Rong army, who had been deeply shocked by the opponent's suicidal attack before, fall into a situation of bewilderment in an instant.

The panicked soldiers, not to mention forming shield formations, had difficulty even taking two steps on the tower bombarded by boulders.

The previous battle between Xijiang and Xirong caused Xijiang's vitality to be severely injured, and the replacement between veterans and recruits could not be continued.

But for Xirong, why not?

It's just that compared to people who grew up under the customs of Wu'an and respecting Confucianism, Xirong, who is all soldiers, is an existence that can directly pull into the battlefield to meet the enemy even if he is a recruit.

This is the confidence of the Xirong people, which made them dare to make a comeback again when their vitality was seriously injured, intending to take advantage of the vacancy and take down the more severely injured Xijiang.

But recruits are recruits after all, it is one thing to be bloody, forceful, and kill without blinking an eye, but it is another thing to actually go to the battlefield and face an imposing, fearless, and life-threatening enemy.

They thought that Xijiang, who had been hurt more severely, had become dough that they could knead and round because of the bruising knife.

But I don't want to, there are thorns hidden in the dough.

When they carelessly underestimated the enemy, relaxed their vigilance, and broke the dough, the thorns suddenly appeared and pierced deeply into their flesh!

Following Wen Zhemao's example and hiding at the root of the battlements, Harry Hun finally understood how stupid it was to carelessly underestimate the enemy after winning a few victories easily after this bloody lesson.

The previous victory might just be a means against people!
The proud soldier must be defeated.

At this moment, Harihun really understood the meaning of the words Gesangoro told him before leaving.

Seeing the recruits running around on the city tower in a panic, Harry was anxious and angry, and shouted angrily, "Get down! Get down on the battlements!"

Although the boulder is powerful, it is not a sharp weapon that can break through a solid city wall with one blow, and even the battlements are difficult to break.

So the boulders are all coming towards the people on the tower.

And if the boulder wants to fall on the tower, it has to cross the battlements and hide under the battlements, so it is almost impossible to be attacked by the boulder.

The purpose of the shield array is to form a slope, remove the huge force from the roaring boulder, reduce the damage of the boulder to the tower, and also block the broken stones blown up by the boulder.

Those gravels that are thrown by the huge force can even kill people directly.And because it is small, it is difficult to guard against, and it can even pass through the gaps in the armor, based on the fatal blow.

Under such bombardment, lying on the edge of the battlements may not necessarily save their lives, but it can maximize the possibility of survival.

Fortunately, the loading and launching speed of the catapult is very slow, and there is enough time for them to readjust their formation.

The stones used by the catapult are difficult to transport, and it is impossible for the other party to have endless boulders.

After several rounds of boulder bombardment, the entire city tower fell silent.

Some daring ones got up and looked out through the arrow holes between the battlements.

Outside the city tower, the catapults had died down.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but heard a loud bang again!
The people who were frightened by the huge boulder immediately fell down again, but it was a long time since the boulder rolled down, and they waited for another loud noise.

"City Gate!"

Someone yelled, "The siege engine is crashing into the city gate!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the boulder ahead was just to provide cover for the siege engine.

Harry Hun was about to call for people to block the city gate, but Wen Zhemao yelled: "Archers! Shoot in rounds from outside the city!"

Harry didn't know why, and when he was about to question Wen Zhemao, he suddenly heard a muffled "click" in his ear.

Looking up, Halihun saw two bamboo poles propped on the battlements.

Ladder!

Harry Hun looked around, and saw that four or five ladders had been taken up the tower.
