RPAGF Chapter 291: Northern Yan Siege
Chapter 291: Northern Yan Siege
"General Yue, the enemy is coming." Yang Dazhuang was suddenly extremely nervous.
The soldiers guarding the city wall, the archers had already drawn their bows, the slingers had stones in their hands, and there were log rollers... they had already prepared everything needed to defend the city.
"Don't panic, keep your composure, we just need to defend the city intact." Yue Tingshan was carrying a spear, his face calm.
As soon as Xiao Jingtian approached, he saw the frail Yue Tingshan on the tower.
Although the hatred in his heart is not as strong as that of his father,
But he has a heart that is eager for quick success and instant benefits.
"So this old thing is hiding here!"
"Wait, keep your head for me. I want to use it to toast my brothers!"
Flags fluttered, drums beat, and trumpets blew.
The soldiers of Northern Yan received the order and rushed to the city of Donglin with shouts.
As he rushed forward, a cloud of dust rose up.
Xiao Jingtian was a big and strong man. At this moment, he curled his lips slightly. When he looked up and approached the city, he had already snatched the bow and arrow from the archer beside him.
Using his extraordinary shooting range, the arrow flew through the air at high speed and headed straight for Yue Tingshan's vital points.
Yue Tingshan dodged by leaning to the side. The arrow was so powerful that if he had been a moment slower, he would have died on the spot.
"Cowards of Beiyan, I'm afraid you may come here alive but may not return alive!"
Seeing that the enemy had rushed into their firing range, he immediately gave the order:
"Archers prepare, shoot!"
The archers had drawn their bows and were ready.
Hearing Yue Tingshan's order, they relaxed their guard and were ready to go...
The rain of arrows flew straight down, some were blocked and broken, and some penetrated the armor of the enemy in the front row...
Those survivors continued to rush forward, setting up the ladders at their fastest speed.
While the Donglin Army was trying to block them, Beiyan's siege vehicles quickly arrived at the scene, and the sound of "bang bang bang" hitting the city gates was heard, with a tremendous momentum.
On the top of the tower, there were rocks and logs rolling... too much to handle.
The siege at this moment seemed to be no different from any other ordinary one.
the difference is,
Behind the enemy, a 15-foot-tall building appeared.
The building car has round rollers at the bottom and is surrounded by wooden boards half a person's height.
Of course, the purpose of the wooden board is to prevent the enemy from shooting arrows at you, which could put your life in danger.
At the top of the board was the most skilled archer from Beiyan.
The archer could hit the target from a hundred paces away with almost no arrows missing.
As the tower carriage approached the city wall, his arrow was aimed directly at Yue Tingshan's figure.
Seeing that Yue Tingshan had already entered his shooting range,
At Xiao Jingtian's signal, the arrows flew into the air.
The arrow went straight into where Yue Tingshan was.
Yue Tingshan dodged quickly, but arrows rained down on him one after another.
It turned out that the sharpshooter shot three arrows in one shot.
Yue Tingshan didn't think about dodging all the time. He just dodged and aimed his long arrow at the people in the chariot.
"Yang Dazhuang, cover me!"
At his command, Yang Dazhuang, who was originally trying to return the arrows, rushed to Yue Tingshan's side and began to clear the rain of arrows for him.
Yue Tingshan took aim and the arrow left the string.
Rushed to where the sharpshooter was,
The arrow broke with a sound, and was blocked by the archer with all his might. But in the next moment, Yue Tingshan shot out again right next to the arrow.
The archer felt a pain in his heart and groaned. He didn't even see the arrow coming towards him before he was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground.
"Waste!" Xiao Jingtian cursed angrily, then he got on the building car himself, and the arrow was also pointed at Yue Tingshan.
However, I couldn’t find Yue Tingshan.
Yue Tingshan must be stupid, that's why he is repeatedly used as a living target.
He stood on the steps of the city wall, feeling very nervous and uneasy.
"General Yue, what can I do?"
At this time, Feng Jinrong approached, with only anger in his eyes.
She had long wanted to fight in the battlefield like the men, but the military camp refused to accept her.
"Miss Feng, the enemy is constantly challenging you, why are you still running to the city gate? Go back and hide in the city quickly. The soldiers from Donglin will protect you."
"I am also a member of Donglin, why can I only retreat to the back?"
"Going into battle and killing the enemy is a man's job." Yue Tingshan was as calm as a soldier. The more critical the situation was, the more he could not panic.
He was just worried about the military situation of other soldiers.
"..." Feng Jinrong opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.
Yue Tingshan listened to the increasingly intense siege sounds, turned around and looked at Yang Dazhuang who was directing the battle.
Although this man, like him, is not very smart, it must be said that he is a talented person who has a dream of becoming a general.
"How old is Xiaonan this year?" Yue Tingshan has been in poor health recently and often dreams of his deceased compatriots and brothers in arms.
"Sixteen years old." Feng Jinrong didn't know why Yue Tingshan asked about his younger brother.
"Sixteen? Miss Feng, have you ever met a homeless boy in these years? About the same age as Xiaonan?"
"There are too many homeless children. Liangzhou has been occupied by Beiyan for so many years. My brothers and I have been hiding in Fenglin Village all these years and dare not go out casually."
Thinking again of her brothers who had died tragically, her teeth began to chatter.
Suddenly, she looked at Yue Tingshan seriously.
"What is your relationship with the person General Yue is looking for?"
"My nephew followed me to the battle, but unfortunately I lost him... Later, my army suffered heavy losses, Liangzhou was captured and occupied by Northern Yan, and then I heard the news that the entire city was massacred..."
Yue Tingshan was filled with hatred when he mentioned the massacre of Liangzhou by Northern Yan.
Feng Jinrong thought of the battlefield back then. She was only about ten years old at that time. Xiaonan...
"General Yue, Xiaonan, I picked it up."
Back then, outside Liangzhou City, she and her parents were looking for food.
She was so excited after finally hunting a wild rabbit that she hurriedly congratulated her parents who were walking in front of her.
Suddenly, she was hit and the rabbit in her hand disappeared.
"Stop, little thief!"
She chased the thief.
Before anyone caught up, they heard two screams.
She heard her parents' voices and turned around in panic to check.
Before he could turn around, the thief grabbed his sleeve.
She still remembers how the little thief, with his big, bright, tearful eyes, wouldn't let her go looking for her parents.
For this, she resented him for many years. Now thinking about it, she realized that she was not able to distinguish right from wrong.
"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?" Yue Tingshan said, "Don't be too excited."
"I found it in the forest. According to him, he crawled out of the river. Maybe..."
"..." Yue Tingshan was stunned for a moment, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and then he shook his head.
"Forget it, forget it, I won't look for you anymore. Miss Feng, you are a good person, and good people will be rewarded."
There was a strange look on his face.
What if we find him? If he dies in battle, it will only add to the grief.
And he will not be able to escape death sooner or later.
The two were talking, and they didn't expect that the next moment,
The fourth prince of Beiyan suddenly appeared in front of them.
