Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 312
The same report was sent to Fengcang Emperor Capital and Donghua Court in a letter, one of which meant auspiciousness, and the other represented bad news.

It was the end of the new year, and the most noisy time of the year had already begun in Fengcang Palace, but Ye Lintian, who also gave birth to the palace and sat in the dragon chair, became more and more irritable and angry, like a trapped animal because of Uneasy and more anxious and violent, and more and more lose their minds because of the rage and anxiety.

20 elite cavalry marched towards Donghua's border city, Yizhou.

The tall and thick city wall and the tightly closed city gate blocked Feng Cang's soldiers and horses, and the crossbowmen on the city wall were densely packed. From a distance, the two armies were facing each other, full of awe-inspiring aura.

Above the city tower, a middle-aged general in armor stared at the city with a solemn expression. Although his momentum was calm, his frowning could not conceal the anxiety and panic in his heart.

With 20 troops pressing down on the border, just this momentum is enough to make the crossbowmen on the tower tremble with fear.

"Shield."

The King of War was on his horse. Although he stood outside the city, he seemed to be condescending, looking down at the crossbowmen on the city wall indifferently.

Hearing the order, the soldiers behind them came out of the line, holding up the shields of Shouli to block in front of them.

Not one row, two rows, but tens of thousands of people, firmly blocking the army behind and the distance that the crossbow can shoot.

"Archer."

The King of War spoke again, his voice was still calm and indifferent, but it could penetrate the audience.

The middle-aged general on the tower became more and more nervous.

No matter who it is, seeing such a huge and intimidating iron cavalry army in front of them, they can no longer maintain a calm state of mind.

In particular, his soldiers had just experienced a horrible scene where a pack of wolves howled and killed their horses, and the army in front of them had just wiped out a country a few days ago——Qing Lan, who was briefly allied with Donghua .

Yizhou belongs to the Donghua Border Pass. The city defenders here have been trained for a long time, but they have not actually been on the battlefield. After experiencing the terrible danger at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, their condition has not yet recovered. Their combat effectiveness at this time is not as good as half of the usual time.

Because morale is lost.

Moreover, they are also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. The resistance at this time is just to delay a little time and wait for the imperial court's reinforcements.

However, twenty days have passed since Feng Cang announced the crusade against Qinglan and Donghua, but no imperial troops have arrived yet.

The morale of the defending army is weakening day by day, and there is almost no expectation.

The King of War's eyes finally glanced at the city wall, slowly raised his hand, and gave the order ruthlessly, "Siege the city."

On the high wall, not only rows of bows and crossbows were prepared, but also hot oil, boulders, and torches that were used to defend the city.

As long as Feng Cang's soldiers climbed up the city wall, they will attack with all their strength, and they will support as long as they can.

Because once the border is breached, the next few cities will be even more powerless to fight against Feng Cang's army.

But no matter what the middle-aged general who has been guarding the border all the year round thought, he would never have imagined that the army under the King of War attacked the city in a different way from ordinary people.

There are no city ladders and no climbing walls.

The army holding up the hard and thick shields moved forward in unison at a slow speed. At the moment their formation moved, countless bows and crossbows were shot down from the city wall. Dull, or sharp.

These lethal bows and crossbows are like children's toys at this time, posing no threat to the army.

The face of the middle-aged general changed a little bit, and his eyes revealed shock and bewilderment.

No matter how hard the shield is, it is impossible to protect it so perfectly. Countless bows and crossbows are fired, but not even a single person can be hurt.

Incredible.

The shield army kept approaching the city wall until the war king raised his hand to signal.

Everyone stopped immediately.

"Archer, shoot!"

With the sound of an order, countless masters behind the shield, holding bows and arrows, leaped from their horses. In the blink of an eye, densely packed arrows shot straight at the tall tower with a sharp cold light.

As soon as an arrow was shot, the masters were instantly hidden behind the shields, and the crossbows that followed on the opposite side all missed again without exception.

It looks like a simple movement, but it is well controlled in terms of timing.

After the bows and arrows pierced through the air, they were reflected in the pupils of the soldiers on the tower——

"what!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
boom! boom! boom!
None of the arrows that hit the target missed, each arrow pierced the crossbowman's chest, and the person who was hit by the arrow fell off the tower in an instant, and another person took over.

Taking human life seems as simple and easy as cutting tofu.

Behind the impenetrable shield, the archers with excellent lightness skills step on the horseback, flexibly changing various postures and angles, the arrows seem to be inexhaustible, densely packed like locusts crossing the border, attacking with ruthless force To the top of the tower.

As more and more corpses fell from the tower, the horror in the eyes of the soldiers who took over became more and more clear.

"General!" The lieutenant next to him shrank and walked to the general, his face full of worry, his brows furrowed, "This is not going to work, the soldiers are not enough to shoot and kill."

The opponent's bows and arrows seem to be free of money, without even a little room to breathe, they shoot continuously towards the tower, and these archers seem to be well-trained, not to mention every shot, the tricky and weird angle makes people There is no way to avoid it.

In the blink of an eye, they have already lost thousands of people. If this continues, how many people are enough to kill?
The general was clearly aware of this, and he said coldly: "Then what do you say? Do you want everyone to leave and let them break the city?"

The most exasperating thing is that the opponent's archers are amazingly strong. At a distance that ordinary people can't shoot, they can shoot arrows to the tower without any difficulty, and they can guarantee that every arrow will not miss.

On the other hand, the bow and crossbow had no effect at all. The distance of the opponent's army was simply impossible for them to attack, and their shields were so well protected that it was impossible to do anything.

The soldiers were wearing down at a frightening speed, and if this continued, they might not last until evening.

"General, they don't seem to have a ladder. Our preparations..." The lieutenant pointed to the boiling water, hot oil, and boulders beside him, and his brows frowned more tightly. "It seems that they are useless."

"Who said that?" The general's face was livid, "As long as they want to break the city, they will definitely approach the city gate—"

"However, if our entire army is wiped out, who will be able to guard the city gate?" Pian Jiang blurted out, and when the words fell, a sharp arrow passed by his ear and pierced into the chest of a soldier beside him. His expression changed, He shouted: "General, hurry up and find a way! If this goes on, people will die!"
