Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    However, although the archers of the Tang Army had strong bows and fast arrows and had an advantage in numbers, they could only shoot low and high. There were parapets and crenels on top of the city, so even if they aimed for a crossfire, they would not be able to shoot.  He was at a big disadvantage, but he was on the march, without a big shield, wooden rafts and other arrow-blocking tools, and he was wearing leather armor instead of iron armor. Under the exchange of fire with the enemy, his disadvantage was fully demonstrated.  After a few rounds, the crenels at the top of the city and the city bricks were almost covered with arrows. There were also many archers from the Huaqiang Army at the top of the city with more than ten feather arrows stuck in their bodies, but as long as they were not hit in the face,  , the neck and other vital parts are not fatally injured, and the battle can still continue.  But the Tang Army archers below the city were in dire straits. At this distance, they would almost immediately lose their combat effectiveness if they were hit. The Huaqiang Army archers at the top of the city were all excellent in their archery skills.  Those who fall in response to the string usually hit the vital point directly, and it is difficult to even save them.  After more than ten rounds of shooting, more than 2,000 archers of the Tang Army fell. However, the archers of the Huaqiang Army at the top of the city were hit by arrows, and less than 200 lost their combat effectiveness. As the archers of the Tang Army fell,  The number is getting smaller and smaller, and their numerical advantage of bows and arrows no longer exists. The rain of arrows they shoot is becoming more and more sparse, while the rain of arrows on the top of the city is getting denser and stronger.  Hou Junji stood there almost without taking a step back, constantly drawing his bow and releasing arrows, shooting at the opponent on the top of the city. He was already fired up, and most of the shots from the two top archers were direct hits.  The arrows collided in the air and then landed. The speed at which the two arrows were drawn and shot was almost exactly the same. However, Wang Renze finally took advantage of the terrain. The distance between the two arrows after they collided and landed was also farther away from Hou Junji.  It was getting closer, five feet, four and a half feet, four feet, three and a half feet. The last few arrows landed almost less than a foot away from Hou Junji.  Hou Junji gritted his teeth, suddenly roared, and another arrow flew towards his shoulder. He did not dodge, he drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at Wang Renze's face, he shot an arrow.  Go without any regard for your own safety.  With a "plop" sound, the arrow hit Hou Junji hard on the left shoulder. He could even hear the sound of the arrow passing through his shoulder and coming directly from his back. He instinctively threw it away.  The big bow in his right hand covered the place where the arrow was hit. Blood was already pouring out like a fountain, but he didn't seem to be in any pain at all. His eyes were fixed on the long arrow that was rushing towards Wang Renze's face.  Wang Renze's expression changed. He didn't expect Hou Junji's arrow to be so fierce. He actually tried to hit him even though he was hit. In a moment's thought, the long arrow had already rushed to the door in front of him. He quickly turned his head and only  He felt a burning sensation coming directly towards his mouth, and instinctively opened his mouth to bite. The long arrow was actually bitten directly in his mouth, and one of his teeth was knocked out by the momentum of the arrow.  It hit his gums and flew directly to the rear. One of the guards screamed, and a big bloody tooth was immediately embedded in his forehead, still shaking gently.  Wang Renze let go of his mouth with a "Wow", and another loose big tooth fell to the ground along with the arrow shaft, and there was also a small opening on his lips, making his mouth look particularly weird.  In just one arrow, he walked back and forth in front of the gate of hell. Even though he was as fierce as him, he couldn't help but be frightened. When he looked back at Hou Junji, he saw him looking unwilling, holding on by several guards.  Under the cover of the shield, he covered his left shoulder wound while retreating, while the two messenger guards around him were blowing trumpets constantly, calling for the other archers to retreat to the rear.  A large number of Tang Army shield bearers rushed forward one after another, holding large and thick wooden shields. However, the Tang Army archers who had finally managed to hold on until now, as if they had been amnesty, got under the wooden shields one after another, and moved backward like a tide.  The ground receded. At this time, not many people could care about pulling back their companions who were injured and still breathing. However, in this blood-stained land, there were no longer many living people left.  It's tumbling.  The wooden shields in front of Wang Shichong spread out. He walked up to the battlement with a calm expression. Wang Renze wiped the blood on his mouth and walked over. Wang Shichong glanced at him and smiled slightly: "I can hurt you."  At this point, he should be a very powerful general. Do you know him?" Wang Renze said bitterly: "It seems to be the disciple of Guanlong named Hou Junji, but he is not much better. He was hit in the shoulder.  If I shoot an arrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw an arrow again for two months." Wang Shichong's eyes swept over the battlefield below the city. The original open space was already stained with blood, and the corpses were covered with feathers.  There were piles of arrows in the east and piles in the west. Occasionally, a few wounded and rolling sergeants would be shot by the archers of the Huaqiang Army at the top of the city. They were killed and could no longer move.  At this time, cheers rang out from the top of the city.  Wang Shichong curled up his lips: "Everyone fought well and are ready to meet the enemy's attack."?A wave of attacks.  " In the North City, the archers of the Tang Army retreated sparsely under the cover of shieldmen. Hundreds of corpses were scattered outside Luoyang City just like in the South City. This wave of bow and arrow suppression was the same as in the south.  The Tang army was completely defeated. Two miles away, under the banner of the Tang army commander, Du Ruhui, who was riding a thin horse and standing next to Li Shimin, sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many archers on the top of the city of Luoyang. Look.  Get up, our previous attack with flying rocks and bed crossbows did not have the desired effect. Your Highness, King Qin, what is wrong with you today? You are silent. This is not like you at all.  " "Li Shimin" finally stood up to him. Changsun Wuji's dark face suddenly came into Du Ruhui's eyes. The wise man's mount neighed in shock and stepped back several steps. Changsun Wuji's eyes  With an intriguing expression: "Keming, you didn't expect it to be me.  " Du Ruhui finally calmed down. He looked at Changsun Wuji and frowned tightly: "Auxiliary machine, why are you here wearing the armor of His Highness King Qin? Where are the others?  " Changsun Wuji smiled slightly: "King Qin is in Nancheng now. At this time, he should send out his chariots to attack the city.  " At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Send the order, send out flying ladders and small-footed wooden donkeys, and continue to attack the city. The first one to reach the top of Luoyang City will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of Marquis of Kaiguo!  "
