1.44 White Sandalwood Defense

The flag was waved three times, and the yellow crossbowman shot three times.

Among them, the winch was pushed twice. The Xianbei cavalry had reached within 500 steps. The archer and sharpshooter in the arrow tower used three-stone strong bows to kill the Xianbei leader. After rushing to 300 steps, the arrows were chaotic on the top of the city. The Xianbei cavalry was caught in a large number of arrows and fell off the horse.

Why don’t Xianbei raise its shield?

How to shoot arrows when holding up a shield!

The Xianbei Raider approached the moat with the rain of arrows. He opened his bow and shot angrily!

Buzz —

The sharp arrows are like locust plagues. They cover the sky and the sun, and they whistle by.

The city was filled with thorns and thorns in an instant. A forest of arrows and thorns was born.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was fully prepared. He leaned against the wall and set up a circle of battle sheds along the city wall, covering the tiles, making it hard to penetrate the sharp arrows!

Xianbei roars shot several times in a row, and tens of thousands of arrows fell in the city. The walls made of rammed earth were even piled up into hedgehogs. It's okay!

Arrows on the top of the city were like locusts. Bows and crossbows shot volleys, and Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses. The bodies rolled into the water.

After several volleys, the city was not damaged. Seeing that the Xianbei leader could not do anything, he shouted loudly in Hu language. The Xianbei cavalry, who were covered with arrows, took out a rocket from the bags of the arrows at his waist, ignited it with flint. He rode his horse straight to the moat.

The war horses under him rose into the air in the face of the dense rain of arrows.

The moment it hit the river, the Knight shot the rocket out!

Then they were pierced by arrows and the people fell into the water.

Borrowing the last desperate effort, the rocket flew over the city and roared down.

Although I knew that the young king was fully prepared, the defenders on the city still felt nervous.

The city jingled and slammed and kept ringing. When the city circled around, it was covered with thick soft sand. The rockets plunged into one end and soon they were extinguished. The rockets landed on the tiled shed were also extinguished by craftsmen wearing bamboo cage fire covers, sprinkled with chalk and carbon ash. It would be even more irritating to land on the brick kiln.

Baitan City is three miles apart. It is not within reach of human power to shoot an arrow through the moat.

When the last Xianbei dead soldier was stabbed with sharp arrows, he died with his mount. The Xianbei was gone.

Huang Zhong ordered the flag to be raised again, and the gold medal was clamored to withdraw the troops.

Along the moat, the Xianbei people and horses fell to death, with no less than thousands of cavalry.

The moat was silted by corpses. Blood flowed in, and it was scarlet. Liu Bei ordered people to put down the suspension bridge. Cui Ba led his sword and shield and left the city, killing the lives of injured soldiers and horses. He cut his ears to calculate military merits.

Later, Xianbei slaves transported the bodies of the people and horses back to the camp. They cleaned the battlefield themselves, which was a common example of confrontation. They gathered corpses and soldiers, and they did not wear armor or weapons. Even if they entered the range, the offensive and defensive sides would not attack each other.

The defenders were fed in batches. They cleaned up and recycled arrows and kept them for use. The big knife cut off the arrows that were pricked on the top of the city and repaired the city walls. They were busy without mentioning each other.

The Xianbei already knew that the benefits of crossbows on the city would be prepared tomorrow.

If you want to attack the city, the moat is the first obstacle. You will most likely target this tomorrow. Liu Bei ordered people to clear the river channel, salvage the floating corpses in the river, and pile them all to the other side. The Xianbei will take them back.

To defend the city, you need to guard against night attacks. Liu Bei dug the moat wide and deep. If you want to attack at night, you must first cross the water. How can you hide such movements from the soldiers on the city? The brick kiln built around the inner wall is burning bricks and tiles day and night to supplement the loss. Even if the city wall collapses, there are brick kilns behind it. It is difficult for cavalry to attack. The kiln body is burned to pieces by the fire, which is extremely hard and difficult to break for a while. Baitan City is equivalent to having two layers of wall protection.

Liu Bei's troops were sent to the northern border and used Baitan City as a fortress. After several months of renovation, it finally came in handy.

The soldiers in the camp were waiting for the battle, but they were speechless all night.

On the second day, just as dawn, I heard the neighing of people outside the city. The Xianbei cut down trees overnight and made wooden shields. Similar rough armors were also seen by Liu Bei in the hands of the Mihu horse thieves. They were all arranged with straight branches as thick as boys' arms. Although they could withstand bows and arrows, they could not withstand the shooting of crossbows.

Seeing that all the Xianbei cavalry were holding wooden shields, Liu Bei ordered: "Speedly adjust the water dragon crossbow chariot!"

"Here!"

Rows of Xianbei knights were arranged in a row, holding shields in one hand and skin in the other. They drove the war horses and surrounded them from all sides.

As Liu Bei expected, this time it was not for archery, but for carrying the earth to fill the river!

A thousand steps away, the Xianbei knights all over the head of the shield to defend against the rain of arrows on the city. Liu Bei was attracted but did not fire. "At the end of the strong crossbow, the arrow cannot penetrate the Lu silk." The range of the thousand steps is the limit of the crossbow. When the Xianbei knights approached 500 steps, Liu Bei ordered it.

The water dragon crossbow chariot fired in a volley.

The Xianbei knights were shocked when they saw a stone roaring and roaring.

When a ball of water explodes on the ground, I realize that it is not a stone. The distance is also close, only a hundred steps away. The range of the water dragon crossbow is related to the weight of the water capsule being ejected. Usually, it can be compared with the bed crossbow. If the water capsule increases, the distance will be shortened accordingly.

Just like this, only the large water capsule was shot out a hundred steps away.

The bag fell to the ground and exploded, splashing water everywhere, and soon soaked a large area.

It was fishy for a moment.

When the Xianbei cavalry approached, Liu Bei suddenly waved his sword!

Buzz —

Rockets shot oil marks directly.

Hula—

The yellow hayland on the shore was ignited.

The accumulated fish oil instantly ignited a fierce fire. The temperature rose sharply and the fire points exploded one after another. With a bang, the flames soared into the air and the fire rain splashed everywhere!

The flames were connected into a line of fire as if contagious. The line of fire burned into a wall of fire again. The wall of fire swallowed the earth and turned into a sea of ​​fire. The knights in front of them were caught off guard and crashed into the sea of ​​fire. Instantly, they burned into a ball of rushing fireballs. The flames soared into the sky and spread rapidly along the dead grass. They engulfed rows of knights. The horses were frightened, and their four hooves blew, and they threw the knights on their backs down to the sea of ​​fire. The people and horses were all covered with fur. The hair was burning, and they were in pain. The wolf ran and the pigs rushed, and the remaining fire scattered, igniting a larger fire scene.

Dead herbs are very easy to set fire, and add fish oil to help burn. It is out of control.

Many knights covered in fire rushed out of the sea of ​​fire and plunged into the moat and died.

The Xianbei knights who were under the formation fired arrows at the same time and shot the fire horses that rushed towards them to death. They covered the grass with soil to block the sea of ​​fire. As for the people and horses in the sea of ​​fire, they were no longer saved.

Tan Shihuai in the north camp looked calmly at the flames sweeping across the grass. It seemed that the people running wildly in the sea of ​​fire had nothing to do with him. He looked up subconsciously, and the sky was filled with smoke, and there was no cloudless. The north was drought and the locust plague was raging. It was simply delusion to want a timely rain to save lives.

Through the moat, Liu Bei on the top of the city was also baked and sweating profusely. This shows the fierce fire.

Many firemen first killed their horses, then committed suicide. They sprayed hot blood rain, and threw down the sea of ​​fire, burning together with the ground.

The fire burned until sunset before it gradually faded. When the cold wind blew at midnight, scarlet charcoal fire emerged from the pile of ashes of smoke. The cold wind yelled. Mars drifted with the wind, like ghost fire dancing.

Arrows break the armor and cook the cannon with tinder oil.

Thousands of enemies were killed in two days.

The Xianbei failed to even break through the moat.

The whole city was burnt and disgusting. After consuming a bowl of rice porridge, Liu Bei wore a cloak and climbed the city tower again.
