Chapter 440: The Wise One (2)
A burning oil bomb fell from the top of the city, and then countless oil bombs flew down from the city, the clay pot cracked, and the fierce fire oil splashed inside, and the raging fire began to burn in an instant, and ladders were also ignited in the fire.
The people of the Ruzhi tribe have begun to become smarter, and when they saw the fire oil bombs flying up on the city, they deftly dodged to the side, and there were no stupid things about hitting the fire oil bombs with weapons in the first few times, knowing that as long as this weapon was on the body, it was a dead end, and as long as they dodged, they would not be burned to death, so when the fire burned under the city, there were not many people who were really burned to death.
As a beastly roar came out of the mouths of the people, a ladder was set on fire, and immediately another ladder was erected on the top of the city, and countless ladders were densely erected under the front walls, and the battle became extremely fierce from the beginning.
"Hold on! Spearmen ready, crossbowmen shoot! ”
A soldier at the head of the city had just poked his head out of the gap in his shield and was ready to shoot, when a wolf's tooth arrow, which flew from there, squeaked into the soldier's left eye with a scream, and then burst out of the back of his head, nailing the soldier who was about to shoot to the ground.
"Watch out for the archers!"
The archer of the Rushi Department appeared in the battlefield out of nowhere, and the dense rain of arrows was actually not terrible at all, as long as it could be easily blocked with a shield, but those archers hidden in the cavalry of the Rushi Department were the real nightmares, and their archery skills could only be described as terrifying, often an arrow could kill a soldier on the other side.
"Prepare the launcher to disrupt the formation of the cavalry attack?"
"Whoosh!"
Zhen Forty-three, who was commanding, sensed the danger coming, and as soon as his arm was raised instinctively, a wolf's tooth arrow had already hit Zhen Forty-three's arm, if it wasn't for the full set of chain mail on his body, he didn't know how many times he had died.
The wolf's tooth arrow couldn't penetrate the all-steel chain mail, but it shocked Zhen Forty-three's arm and lost consciousness, "Such a powerful archery, if it is replaced by an armor-piercing arrow, a layer of chain mail can't be stopped at all!" ”
"Launch!" Zhen Forty-three didn't care about it anymore, as long as he hadn't fallen down and was still panting and fighting, he wouldn't stop.
In the past few months, Black Domain City has been making every effort to build the city, and it cannot be said that it does not know the dangers it will face in the future, but there is a difference between what is going on, and the population composition of Black Domain City is complex, and the people of Murowei who have just gathered do not have much cohesion at all, and the training of the army is not going very smoothly, resulting in not only the emptiness of the Black Domain City's troops, but also the lack of weapons and equipment.
One by one, the fire oil bombs flew up in the air, and when they saw the fire oil bombs flying above the city, the cavalry of the Ruzhi Division under the city immediately dispersed, they were like flies everywhere, as long as there was danger coming, they would dodge, and then gather together, and the cycle went on and on to make the power of the fire oil bombs greatly weakened.
"Crossbowmen shoot!"
At the moment when the cavalry of the Ruzhi Department under the city dispersed was the best time to fire crossbow arrows, Zhen Forty-three stood on the head of the city and roared wildly, but unfortunately there were only hundreds of arrows flying out of the city, and the effect of killing and injuring the cavalry of the Ruzhi Department was very limited.
The lack of bows and crossbows has now become the weakness of Zhen Forty-three to defend the city, if the crossbow bows are several times more, as long as there are several intensive shots, the cavalry of the Ruzhi Department under the city will suffer heavy losses...... it's a pity! Zhen Forty-three knew that this was impossible, and the few crossbowmen were all transferred to the two wings of Black Domain City, which was the key to life and death on the entire battlefield.
Zhen Forty-three looked at the two sides of the Black Domain City, where the sky-high flames had risen, and the fire belts arranged on both sides of the Black Domain City had been lit, although he couldn't see the battle there, but Zhen Forty-three knew that the battle in Wang Peng's place was even more tragic.
There are not many defense means in the Black Domain City now, what is lacking on the grassland is iron, and many things cannot be done without iron, fortunately, when the city was built, it was known that there was fierce fire oil here, otherwise, just with the few soldiers in the Black Domain City, it would not be able to hold on to the present.
Wang Peng stood on the half-built city wall, with two rows of shields in front of him, and the cavalry who were wandering around the perimeter of the fire belt saw that the raging fire had lost their initial panic, and not only did not slowly spread around. After the cavalry dispersed, there appeared behind them the Ruzhebu men pushing the Lele cart, which was loaded with dirt to extinguish the fire, and when it got closer, it would directly overturn the Lele cart and use the earth to extinguish the flames.
I don't know who came up with this idea, the method is very good, but it's a pity that the people of the Ruzhi Department met not incompetent, but Wang Peng, who had really been on the battlefield.
"Hold the formation...... Advance! ”
The shield array approached the fire belt unhurriedly, and the fire belt was set within a stone's throw from the city wall, if the cavalry of the Ru tribe desperately attacked the fire belt, Wang Peng would hide behind the city wall and release cold arrows.
For example, the cavalry of the Ruzhi tribe was very clever enough to know that if they approached unexpectedly, they would be attacked by crossbow arrows, and the cavalry that did not speed up was simply the target of crossbow arrows. The cavalry of the Ruzhi Department seemed to know what Wang Peng was going to do, as long as the fire belt in front of him was extinguished, the cavalry could rush into the city and slaughter it wantonly, and the scattered cavalry of the Ruzhi Department gathered in an instant, and the dense feather arrows flew towards the shield array overwhelmingly, making it impossible for the people in the shield array to attack at all.
The shield array stopped less than forty paces away from the fire belt, and suddenly there were several openings above the shield array, and more than a dozen black things flew up from the shield array, and flew through the fire belt and landed among the people of the Ruzhi tribe who were piling up soil on the fire belt, and in an instant a large group of flames rushed up in the crowd, and those of the Ruzhi tribe were defenseless at all, and they could even see women and old people ...... among them.
The cavalry outside the fire belt could only watch all this, watch the shield array slowly close again, and then slowly retreat, retreating to the edge of the city wall to wait for the next attack.
"The people of the Ruzhi Department are really dead-eyed!"
Wang Peng didn't know how to evaluate the bravery or recklessness and stupidity of the people of the Ruzhi Division, in the absence of obvious advantages, he actually used his life to fill in the Black Domain City, is it worthless for the people of the Ruzhi Department to have a large population?
"Not good!"
Wang Peng was thinking about how the Ruzhi Department would attack next, when he suddenly felt the vibration under his feet become violent, and some small sand and gravel on the ground jumped, "Could it be that the Ruzhi Department is going to start tearing a gap with cattle and sheep again?" ”
Soon Wang Peng found that his idea was still too simple, such as the Ministry of Ministers was not really stupid, and sent roasted cattle and sheep to Black Domain City for nothing.
Today, the Ruzhi Department has changed its offensive strategy, although it still uses oxen to attack, but behind the oxen pull a cart, the cart is also full of dirt used to extinguish the fire, those who are forced to rush to the fire belt of the ox will suddenly turn, the cart behind the ox will throw out the buried fire belt under the huge inertia, for the cavalry of the Ruzhi Department to open up a way to attack!
