Chapter 464 Bloody Battle in Lan's City (1)
Under the scorching sun outside the Lan family city, the civil servants gathered like ants and were busy.
With a loud "touch", a huge stone bomb shot out from the wall of Lan's city, landed on the soil building again, and raised dust. The Kushan civilians who were pouring the soil to build the platform scattered like flies. Then, the people who were supervising their work shouted in anger, and the whip in their hands were slammed and were about to suck the heads of these civilians.
Unexpectedly, a fireball shot at this time and was falling at the feet of the Yanda man. The pottery jar broke and the flames rose up in the air. The white Hun supervisor was swallowed up in the sea of fire. The flames disappeared, and he had become a fireman. He shouted and rolled on the ground for a few times, and then he disappeared. The civilian workers next to him watched him gradually turning into a piece of coke in the remaining fire.
As the crossbows in the Lan family city continued to shoot, and the projection of the Qiang eagle. The dozens of earth blocks built by the Yanda people around the Lan family city were slow and they were not completed. The five-day construction period of this plan was delayed for half a month before the earth block was barely built. Under each earth block, the bones of Kushan civilians and laborers were buried. Some of them died from the bombardment of Liang's crossbows, some were exhausted, and of course, some were under the whip and stick of the White Huns supervisor.
At this time, Yanda people's crossbowmen and order soldiers climbed up to various earthen brigades. While observing the situation in the city, they were shooting arrows from time to time. The Liang army in the city also continued to fight back, and a fire bomb caused all the Yanda soldiers on the earthen brigades to die from time to time.
In the end, Yanda people finally learned to be smart. They built a shed with wood and covered it with thick wet straw. In this way, the fire bombs may not be broken when they fall on it. The fire-induced objects wrapped outside will slowly be extinguished under the barrier of the wet straw. However, Yanda people on the soil will be penetrated by Liang Jun's heavy arrows, or they will be smashed to pieces by the slaughter.
Seeing this situation, the special agent did not want to continue to waste time with Zhao Yun, and then started a full-scale attack on Lan's City.
It was another cool morning, and the Lan family city was particularly quiet. But then the wilderness outside the city began to rush into the wilderness, and the army of the White Huns began to gather. Groups of war cavalry, amid the sound of drums, infantrymen entered the predetermined position one by one. The places outside the hundred battles outside the city wall were already covered in darkness.
A sound arrow suddenly rang out and rushed into the sky, and the noisy White Hun army became silent. The head of the Lanshi City was also as quiet as no one was guarding it.
Then, after a while, the special service rode a horse to the high platform that had been set up in front of the formation. He pointed a scepter in his hand into the air, and said a few words in the white Xiongnu. Thousands of white Xiongnu people responded to him like roars and thunder. Then he pointed the scepter on the city wall. The white Xiongnu army immediately made a drumbeat, and the black heads pressed towards the Lanshi City.
The Yanda crossbowmen on the earthen trunk also drilled out of the shed and shot arrows desperately into the Lan family city. At this time, two two-foot thick walls were built at the top of the Lan family city, and all the Liang army soldiers crouched behind the walls. The crossbowmen standing on the earthen trunk could barely see their figures, but the bows and arrows in their hands could not hit the other party no matter how they were, because the trajectory of their bows and arrows was not straight. On the contrary, these crossbowmen were still injured by heavy arrows shot by the long archers in the city from time to time.
The first thing that approached the city was Yandaren's catapult carts. These catapult cars were parked outside the city wall for thirty battles, and set off their postures and began to throw stones at the top of the city.
Ten sluts of the sluts all pulled the rope of the slutcher. As soon as they threw a big rock, a military rock bullet passed through their crowd. They smashed one person's head and the legs of two people, and stopped on the ground.
The Liang army's crossbows were placed behind the walls of the city walls, all within the range of the crossbowmen on the earthen turret, but there were thick wooden boards for defensive arrows in front of the crossbowmen. The arrows shot from the earthen turrets could not injure the crossbowmen.
These Liang army crossbow gunners constantly adjust the shooting angle of the gun position and proofread the ballistics, so that the projectiles shot out by the crossbow shells will become more and more accurate. Five soldiers who cast stones were killed in front of a White Hun's catapult. Due to insufficient manpower, the stones thrown by the catapult appear soft.
A white Hun general rushed over and shouted, "Give up this! Go to another catapult to replenish the manpower!"
The remaining soldiers of Yanda came to another trenched trench, which was also undermanned. Ten more people began to pull the ropes and throw the loaded stones. But they were only halfway through, and each of them looked frightened, and a larger and larger fireball was reflected in their pupils. With a bang, the flames soared into the air under their feet, wrapping them and the trench... In a short time, most of the trench had been destroyed.
Among the Yanda people's army rushing under the city, the one who rushed to the front was the Qingqi, which was less than thirty battles away from the city wall. The riders shot arrows like locusts at the head of the city. There was a real rain of arrows on the top of the city in Lan's city, and the crossbow gunners had to pause their operations, and their bodies were close to the shield in front of the crossbow gun to avoid the arrows that were like pouring rain.
But at this moment, several giants rose from the city - Liang Jun's airship. Of course, the longbowers on the airship were not enough to suppress so many White Huns archers, but the arrows they shot were all with beacons. More than fifty eagles rose into the air and rushed towards Yanda people. More than thirty of them were Qiang eagles dedicated to bombings, and the rest were Hast's giant eagles that were not long after they were put into actual combat and were not many.
The pottery jar filled with naphtha kept falling under the horse's hooves of these White Huns' archers, who immediately understood and shot the arrows in their hands into the air. However, the heights of the Qiang eagles were difficult to reach. The naphtha sprinkled on the battlefield was then ignited by the longbower's rockets. The flames in the east and west made the Yanda Light Cavalry scatter, and they were even swallowed by the flames.
Several Yanda Light Cavalry had just avoided a flame and bent their bows and arrows to search for the target in the air, but they saw a huge black shadow covering them. It was a giant eagle with an unusually large body, with a wingspan of nearly two battles.
The arrows in their hands were involuntarily put on the giant eagle, and the giant eagle shook its wings violently. The storm suddenly felt the storm coming, and the arrows shot at the giant eagle were blown to pieces.
Several people closed their eyes in a conditioned manner. They felt a gust of wind passing by and heard a crisp sound. When they opened their eyes, they found that a companion's head was missing, and the headless corpse was slowly falling down from the saddle. The horses under their crotch were trembling.
