Eastern Continent

Chapter 472, anger into anger

Xiuxin Fu was shocked and finally remembered that there were not many people in Yuedao who could draw with him. Ye Guoming was one of them, and looking at the situation of the martial arts competition with himself at that time, Ye Guoming seemed to be merciful.

Although I was a little scared when fighting alone, this is a war of tens of thousands of troops. In such a big war, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is a blessing to be able to protect yourself. It is tantamount to concentrate on killing a certain person.

Therefore, the cultivation must be settled.

What's more, this is a city defended by nearly 100,000 troops against a city with only 20,000 troops, just like the difference between an elephant and an ant, so Xiu Bifu feels that it is a sure thing to retake the Sihai City. It seems that as long as you order an attack, Sihai City can be captured, and these 20,000 rebels will be crushed to pieces like ants in the way.

Xiu Bifu looked at everyone above the Sihai City and said fiercely, "I think you will be proud of it." He waved his hand and shouted, "Give me to attack."

However, he retreated to the middle army.

This is a war of great power disparity!

First of all, 5,000 engineers rushed out, carrying a sack on their bodies and running towards the moat. Needless to say, the moat should be filled.

However, this group of soldiers did not complete their task. When they reached the moat, a rain of arrows flew on the walls of the four seas. After leaving nearly a thousand bodies, the engineers fled back. Only a pile of sandbags were left on the bank of the moat. Some could run to the moat, but were pierced by powerful arrows shot from the city, and the sandbags fell into the moat together.

The white river water is full of fishy red.

Xiu Bifu was furious, waved the flag, and the formation behind him changed. A strange car with eight wheels and four squares was pushed all the way to the front of the two armies.

When Guan Xing and Zhao Ke saw the strange car, they were shocked and said, "Cloud car!"

It turns out that this kind of weapon called cloud cart is a tool specially used to defend the city and attack the fortress. There is a spring-like retractable shelf in the car. After standing on the top floor, people can continue to rise to the same height as the city wall under the shaking of manpower, and then shoot at the soldiers in the city with bows and arrows.

Because the cloud car is sometimes higher than the city wall, it has an overwhelming advantage over the soldiers on the city wall. And the outside of the cloud car is covered with thick and tough cowhide, which can't be broken by knives and arrows. Unless you hit it with a stone or ring wood, but it is so far from the city wall. How can the stones thrown by human people be smashed? Even the stones thrown by the stone-throwing car are one in ten, not to mention the ring wood, so the cloud car is actually the best tool for attacking the city.

Everyone didn't expect that there was such a sharp siege tool in the Xiu army. It seems that this Xiuxing Mountain has not planned to rebel for a day or two, and even this siege tool has been prepared.

With the height of this cloud car, even the four seas of cities are higher, and all the walls of Nayue Island are shorter than it. It is indeed easy to attack the city and pull out the fortress.

The cloud cart was pushed by ten soldiers, and several soldiers carrying sandbags followed closely, using the cloud cart as a shield to block the powerful arrows flying down the wall.

As soon as Ye Guoming saw the cloud car, he also frowned. With practical experience, he immediately knew that this kind of cloud car was the best tool to attack the city. He took a huge bow from a soldier's hand, which took bronze as its back and cow tendons as strings, and then pulled out a feather-tailed arrow from the quiver next to him, opened his bow and made an arrow. With one move, he actually pulled this strong bow that could not be pulled by the power of the two.

"sw"

The sound of powerful arrows passing through the air and piercing the air.

With a muffled sound, the first cloud car was shot by a powerful arrow. The arrow was inserted two inches, and the tail of the arrow was shaking outside.

With Ye Guoming's arm strength, it can't be shot through!

Zhao Ke's face was full of disbelief, Guan Xing's face was even worse, and his confidence was greatly frustrated.

Such a sharp weapon to attack the city is really rare. With the two of them in an important position in the army, they have never seen it, which shows that they have not won the trust of Xiu Xingshan.

Ye Guoming was also shocked. Originally, he thought that his deep internal force, coupled with his natural arm strength, must be able to shoot a pair. Unexpectedly, the powerful arrow was caught after only two inches. This distance was certainly one reason, but the strength of the cloud car and the toughness of the outer cowhide can also be seen.

Xiu Bifu couldn't help sneering and was extremely proud. He turned to the left and right generals and said, "The frog at the bottom of the well thought it could penetrate my cloud car with a few pounds of strength, but I don't know that every material of this cloud car is as hard as iron. How can bows and arrows penetrate?"

Having said that, he was secretly shocked that Ye Guoming could shoot the arrow into the cloud car two inches deep. If it was closer, I don't know if he could shoot a pair.

The generals said in unison, "The general is smart, and the thieves in the four seas will be eliminated."

Xiu Bifu straightened his already straight waist and almost looked up at the sky. Instead, the battlefield seemed to disdain it. Sooner or later, Sihai City will be defeated. There is no suspense. Now we need to think about how to punish these people who dare to betray their father and son.

Therefore, although it is deep, it is not full of pride on its face.

Long Fei saw that everyone looked heavy and seemed to have no idea how to defeat the cloud car. He couldn't help smiling, pulled out a feather-tailed arrow from the arrow bag, wrapped the arrow in cloth, drenched it with tung oil, and then handed it to Ye Guoming's hand and said lightly, "Try it again!"

Ye Guoming's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that he could use the rocket, open the bow and arrow to make the dragon fly on fire. After his arms pulled the copper back bow successfully, and then released it.

"Wo!"

The rocket crossed the sky. Although it is now in the sky, it can also be seen a trajectory that seems to be brighter than the hot sun, shooting from the walls of the four seas and crossing the air. With a sound, it was firmly nailed to the cloud car.

The rocket slowly burned the cowhide covered in the cloud car, but the cowhide was not burned and gradually extinguished.

People on both sides were looking at the rocket on the cloud car with silence. After they were extinguished, the soldier surnamed Xiu burst into a loud laugh, as if using rockets to shoot the cloud car, which was the funniest thing in the world.

People on the side of Sihai City are sinking again, and their faces are even worse.

Long Fei touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that this cowhide was not good. It was thicker than the big man's face and could not be burned through. It seems that the last magic weapon would come out."

Just when Xiu Bifu was proud, and the people all over the world were depressed, they saw a thick smoke suddenly coming out from the cloud car that had been extinguished by the rocket. Mars flashed. In the blink of an eye, the whole cloud car had been swallowed up by the fire. The soldiers hiding in the cloud car only had time to escape in a hurry, but they could not save the cloud car.

It turns out that although this cloud wood is as hard as iron and the axe is continuous, there is a very bad thing that the wood is rich in grease and ignites in case of fire. It can be seen that no matter what the object in the world has a benefit, there must be a drawback, and there is no perfect.

Xiu must pay to cover the cowhide outside the cloud car in order to prevent rockets. This cowhide is also a snow cow produced in Montenegro, the far north of the mainland.

Although the snow cow was born in an extremely cold place, its whole body is bare and hairless, but its skin is thick. It can not only prevent cold but also be extremely tough, and can resist knives and guns. Ordinary people don't want to shoot it with arrows, even if they cut it down with force, they just leave a white mark on it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guoming not only shot through the snow cowhide, but also shot into the cloud wood inside, leading the whole cloud car to burn down, which shows the strength of Ye Guoming's arrows.

Seeing the effect, the people of Sihai City were very excited. Without waiting for the cloud cart to approach, they also set up bows and arrows one after another. Rockets were set off like fireworks all over the sky and rushed to the monster-like cloud carts.

It's just that the rockets fired by these soldiers were too small. Most of them just touched the cowhide outside and fell down and immediately extinguished. Some of them were lucky enough to hit the gap at the cowhide seams, shot on the cloud car, and also led to the whole cloud car to burn, but none of this situation. There are a small number of soldiers or generals with great strength or internal strength, and the rockets fired are also firmly nailed to the outer cowhide of the cloud car, but it only burns on the cowhide of the cloud car. After burning, it can touch the cowhide and touch the cloud car.

Among these generals, in addition to Ye Guoming's strong arm strength and good arrowing, one arrow can shoot a cloud car and shoot through cowhide directly to the cloud wood, there is also Meng Jianyuqiang who can do it, but he must recover before shooting another arrow, not like Ye Guoming can shoot one arrow after another, which can be seen by Ye Guoming. The internal strength is deep and the arm strength is strong. Others, such as Guan Xing and Zhao Ke, are not high in arrows, lack accuracy, and their internal strength are slightly inferior. After shooting an arrow, they must rest and nourish their qi before shooting. Therefore, so far, only six have been shot.

Three of these six were shot by Ye Guoming, one was shot by Meng Jian, and the rest were shot by other generals.

Although it is only six, it is as painful as cutting off the meat on Xiu Bifu's body. This kind of cloud car is made of cloud wood and snow cowhide, and its difficulty is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Cloud wood grows in deep mountains and old forests. It takes at least 300 years from birth to become a material. Although it becomes hard due to time, it is also extremely rare. It is often hundreds of miles away to see one, and there are hundreds of miles of enclosures in a mountain, and hundreds of miles of enclosures are not necessarily there.

Compared with cloud wood, snow cowhide is even more difficult to find. Among the various terrains in the world, snow cattle only like the high mountains in the far north and live in the mountains all day long. They never go down the mountain, such as the dragon's head and tail, the number is rare and almost extinct.

Xiu must pay to collect these 20 cloud cars. I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent. The money is really like running water. No matter how many golden mountains and silver mountains there are, they are almost hollowed out by these cloud cars.

Every time such a high-priced thing is burned, it is like burning piles of money. How can you not feel painless?

After being shot two more by Ye Guoming and one by Meng Jian, the Xiu army finally sounded the sound of the withdrawal of troops. The Xiu army retreated like a tide, and even the wounded soldiers and the dead were taken away.

In the wide moat of Sihai City, there were several bodies that were too late to take away, and some sandbags, which almost filled the wide moat. If it hadn't been for Ye Guoming and Meng Jian't for their great power and burning a few cloud cars, the people standing on the wall today would have to fight close blood.

This battle is just a warm-up battle before Xiu Bifu's official siege of the city. Although the two sides can be said to be tied before the meal, it seems that the Xiu army has suffered a slight loss, not only nearly half of the cloud car, but also lost some soldiers.

Xiu Bifu rode on the dragon and deer. Looking at everyone on the Sihai City cheering and celebrating the victory, he suddenly regretted: why the wall of the Sihai City was built so high, so thick and so strong at that time!
