Strictly speaking, the latest 7,000 Wei army that appeared here is not like the elite border army, but is better at building bridges and paving roads.

Chen Kun had no idea about the terrain in Zhongli area. He thought that this Wei army had piled up into an continent out of thin air with giant trees floating upstream in the middle of the Huai River. However, in fact, there were small continents protruding from the water in the middle of the Huai River. During the dry season, some villagers along the coast would even drive cattle and sheep to graz.

But the two largest small continents can only accommodate thousands of people. This Wei army only spent several days and nights to connect most of the small continents with driftwood and piles of soil. Seven thousand Wei troops were stationed on it, and the barracks seemed to occupy only a corner of the big state, giving people the feeling that it was more than enough to reach another twenty or thirty thousand people.

What really made some generals in the city want to escape without fighting was that, in addition, the seven thousand Wei troops were paving pontoon bridges while driving piles. In just one day and night, they built a road on the turbulent water surface that could reach the north bank of the Huai River.

This road can even be used for cars and horses, and even some ox carts filled with heavy objects can be used for passage.

The Huai River was originally a natural danger. If the Northern Wei Dynasty had no naval army, even tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers could not pass the shore. If you had to take a detour along the north bank, you would inevitably fight with the border troops of the prefectures and counties in the south and the north, and you would lose your chances of fighting.

However, now the natural barrier has become a thoroughfare, and the Wei army opposite the river can be driven directly to attack the city. These timid generals in the city dare not even think about it.

However, for the brave generals of the Southern Dynasty, such as the brave generals of the Chaozong, they would die if they died. However, they were directly scared by such a Wei army that was not good at fighting and was only good at building roads and paving bridges. Then they died in the chaos of escape, and they would die with their eyes open and could not swallow their breath.

As he thought, when the generals who tried to escape secretly were dragged on the north wall and hung directly, as the soldiers in the city continued to provoke and scold, the Wei army, who could not rest, began to advance towards Zhongli City in the darkness of the night.

Some prefabricated floating platoons were constantly pushed into the water with ropes, and a large number of Northern Wei soldiers were wrapped in floating objects and jumped directly into the water. It was impossible to see how these Northern Wei soldiers were moving in the water in the night. However, the fixed speed of those floating platoons was very amazing. All the Southern Dynasties soldiers on the north wall could be sure that if they did not do anything, they might be able to extend all the way under the city wall before sunrise.

Many Southern Dynasties soldiers on the north wall were still under the double stimulation of the fear of executing the highest generals in the city and the excitement after taking it out. The execution of those generals inevitably led to some people losing enough constraints and temporary chaos.

Before the military order sounded, there were already sparse sounds of arrows breaking through the air and some shaking sounds of armed forces.

The first thing to do was the Southern Dynasty soldiers on the north wall, but the counterattack of the Wei army exceeded the imagination of all the Southern Dynasty soldiers on the city wall.

In the night, Northern Wei soldiers kept jumping to the already fixed floating row, then fired and shot.

The violent sound of arrows kept ringing, and as more and more Wei troops appeared, the rain of arrows shot from the water in the night had formed an overwhelming momentum.

The Southern Dynasty soldiers on the north wall were shocked to find that the number of archers in this Northern Wei army was far beyond their imagination.

On this wall facing water, there were only more than 200 archers on the Southern Dynasties, but among the Wei army floating on the water surface, there were at least seven or eight hundred archers shooting.

The feather arrows that should be cherished at any time seem to be ordinary firewood in the eyes of this Wei army, and they seem to not care about the consumption of feather arrows at all.

A general holding a shield frowned deeply in confusion, but he soon found the answer.

Amid these violent arrows, several strange noises soon appeared.

In the already chaotic air, there was a whimpering sound, like something giant is approaching.

The general's eyes narrowed, and he saw several black shadows as thick as his arms falling from above all the arrows.

The target of these black shadows is not anyone on the city wall, nor the fixed ordnances on the city wall, but the city wall itself.

All these black shadows hit the city wall with great accuracy.

All the soldiers on the city wall felt the vibration of the city wall.

The general holding a shield had already leaned out.

He saw stone chips flying on the city walls, these black shadows were as thick as steel crossbow arrows, and the tail end was connected with thin steel cables. On the other end of these steel cables were connected with several floating rows of crossbows.

Those crossbows were not conspicuous. He had thought it was just a few debris dragged by carriages and horses before.

"Rong Chaozong!"

Without any hesitation, the general shouted loudly as if he had seen the several crossbows that did not appear tall.

The body of the Wang Chaozong, who was originally vigilant to patrol the city, suddenly paused.

In his opinion, the biggest enemy of Zhongli City tonight is in the city and not outside the city. However, when he heard such a sound on the north wall and breathed in the next breath, his body shot towards the north wall like an arrow from the string.

"These Northern Barbarians borrowed the steel cables of this crossbow arrow company to drag the driftwood over!"

His figure had just appeared behind the general in the rain of arrows. The general holding a shield had already whispered to him, and at the same time he kept calling people to go to the wall with him.

Wang Chaozong jumped to his side and looked down. He saw bubbles constantly surging in the water. Many Northern Wei soldiers with almost completely naked body kept floating out of the water. They all had a hook claw in their hands. There were locks on the steel cables connected to the end of the crossbow arrows stuck on the city wall. As several hook claws were placed on them, the steel cables fell off the crossbow arrows as the Northern Wei soldiers exerted force.

Wang Chaozong took a deep breath, and he looked further away, and fully understood what the veteran border army general named Yu Moji next to him said just now.

At this time, the other end of the steel cable had been untied from the crossbow. With his eyesight, there were more thin ropes with floats, and those thin ropes were connected to many driftwood.

If a large amount of driftwood is dragged over and then fixed it under the city wall with heavy objects. If a large amount of wood and stones are smashed down on the city wall, it will be like helping these Northern Wei people build dams in the river.

It takes time to manufacture floating platoons, but if driftwood is connected, it is very simple to lay wooden boards above to form a simple floating bridge. With the ability shown by this Wei army before, let alone let thousands of them arrive at the city, and then come to the Northern Wei army, they may be able to build and build them while building them, and press down to the north wall.

This Northern Wei army did not hesitate to the feathered arrows, and wanted to completely suppress the Southern Dynasties soldiers on the wall during this period... They wanted to make the final decision in this very short time!

Under Yu Moji's repeated stern commands, the practitioners and archers nearby moved to the water wall as quickly as possible. Blood flowers continued to surge from the water, and the Northern Wei soldiers who emerged from the water were constantly killed, and blood foam accumulated at the bottom of the city wall.

At this time, Yu Moji's command was instructed. Wang Chaozong knew that it would be useless to issue military orders again. He looked at the several crossbow chariots in the distance, his eyes were filled with awe.

At such a long distance, even connected with such a strange steel cable and such a crossbow chariot, I have never heard of a craftsman in the Southern Dynasty who could make it.

"Demon Sect."

These two words emerged in his mind.

.........

The Northern Wei soldiers who had been hiding through the river were suffering heavy casualties.

These sergeants, like giant white fish, should be the group of people with the best water quality in this Northern Wei army. However, in addition to the killing of the Southern Dynasties soldiers on the wall, the arrows shot by the Northern Wei people also brought considerable accidental injuries.

But it is undeniable that even if it is not the White Bone Army of King Yuanying of Zhongshan, this kind of Northern Wei army still has the courage and cold-blooded side that most of the Southern Dynasties are incomparable.

No one wants to change at all, and no updated military orders are issued, and this Northern Wei army is completely filled with fresh lives.

Seeing the Northern Wei soldiers who kept rising from the water and then quickly killed by them floated on the river more and more, the tragic expressions in the eyes of most Southern Dynasties soldiers on the city wall became stronger and stronger.

Because giant trees are constantly being pulled over, constantly hitting, making dull loud noises, better than drumbeats.
