The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty
Chapter 159
At this time, the snowy city had been besieged by the rebels of the Yellow Nest for a few days.
After King Fu angrily tore up the ultimatum sent by the rebels, the 20,000 rebels who had already been assembled could not wait to launch an attack immediately.
The rebel general who commanded the battle was General Liu Han, who was most relied on by Huang Chao's subordinates, and he followed Huang Chao in his early years to raise the banner of rebellion against the Celestial Empire.
Later, he took the initiative to attack, and he had been attacking cities and plundering land in the Celestial Empire, and after receiving Huang Chao's order to attack Xueman City, he quickly gathered a team and rushed here without saying a word.
According to his scouts, although King Fu of Xueman City also recalled the surrounding soldiers to defend the city early in the morning, his troops were weak after all, and there were only about 6,000 when he was full, and he had to guard the city gates on all sides.
Therefore, Liu Han had enough confidence to take advantage of the absolute advantage in numbers, regardless of priority, except for the unattainable mountain behind Xueman City, the other three sides attacked at the same time and took the city in one go.
In the early morning, when the first rays of the morning sun were reflected on the tall and majestic city wall in front of the snowy city, Cheng Tie, the guard of King Fu's tent, hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.
Since His Royal Highness King Fu once again rejected Huang Chao's surrender yesterday, the soldiers guarding the city have strengthened their vigilance overnight.
As soon as he ran up the city wall, he heard the sentry of the arrow tower shouting urgently: "The enemy army is coming!
Cheng Tie snorted: "Calm down, I'll take a look." He
strode to the battlements of the city wall, and when he looked out, he saw that a black shadow was approaching on the vast hillside outside the city.
In a moment, the black shadow turned into a surging tide again, the sound of iron hooves sounded low like rolling thunder, the flags flew over, and countless rebels overwhelmingly pressed the sky.
Cheng Tie smiled coldly and ordered loudly: "Blow the horn and gather the soldiers!"
Hearing the trumpet, groups of black armor soldiers quickly poured up the city from a dozen stone stairs, and in a few moments, the walls facing the enemy were full of soldiers.
Cheng Tie turned around and strode to the highest point in the center of the arrow tower, and shouted loudly: "Centurions quickly lead the soldiers to the city wall that they need to defend, archers, prepare for the first round of attacks!"
In a moment, several centurions took the order and left, and each returned to the city wall he was responsible for to command the defense.
Two hundred archers stepped forward, stood firm, drew their bows and arrows, and prepared to strike at the first enemy troops who came into range.
The rest of the soldiers were methodically preparing some equipment to defend the city, such as rolling stones, and soon, everything was ready.
With the beating of war drums, Cheng Tie suddenly roared loudly: "Behind us are our parents, wives and children, can we watch these rebels break into the city and burn and loot them?"
The soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "No, no! People are in the city! Defend the homeland!" The
earth-shattering sound rumbled into the distance.
At the same time, the rebels in the distance had condensed into a vast black forest.
With the swing of the battle flag, the rumbling war drums began to resound throughout the field, several huge infantry phalanxes pushed cloud carts, carried cloud ladders, and the angry clouds rolled towards the snowy city, and for a time the dust was flying, and all kinds of flags covered the sky and the sun, and even the sky couldn't help but be darkened.
The city was surrounded by a moat that was several feet wide, the ditch had already been deepened in height, and the river had been introduced, and there were many horse-resisting stakes planted on both sides to block the enemy's attack, which would be the first obstacle the rebels faced.
I saw that the herald under Liu Han pointed the red flag in his hand far downward, and stretched it forward, and immediately thousands of soldiers specializing in civil engineering carried sacks, which were filled with mountain soil, and quickly rushed forward, trying to fill the moat and pave the way for the siege of the army.
In order to avoid the bows and arrows of the soldiers at the head of the city, each soldier with a back was equipped with a shield guard, who held a huge wooden shield to cover themselves and the bodies of the soldiers next to them as much as possible, and kept their eyes firmly on the movement of the city head to prevent the attack of the archers at the head of the city.
Cheng Tie watched the rebels' movements with cold eyes, and when he saw them overwhelmingly rushing towards the moat, he commanded the soldiers who were waiting for the battle: "Calm down, don't waste arrows, and wait for the enemy to enter the firing range and then listen to my orders."
He shouted and stared at the rebels as a torrent of yellow swept in, the dust he brought up as he ran.
The fast-paced soldiers had approached the trench, and under the cover of their shields, they quickly threw off their bags of dirt from their shoulders and turned around and ran, and soon more rebels were pouring in.
Cheng Tie at the head of the city saw it clearly, and he commanded the beating of war drums while ordering loudly: "Archer, let's go..."
Large feathered arrows flew forward like locusts, and then fell rapidly when they were about to reach the sky above the rebels' heads, and one after another, the sharp arrows accelerated towards the rebels running on the ground with great inertia.
Although the shield soldiers of the rebels raised their shields to protect, there was always a mistake in Baimi
, and soon, the sound of poofing and shooting the human body and Duoduoduo shooting the shield was endless, and the unlucky soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, screaming again and again, and after the shield soldiers fell to the ground, the soldiers who lost their protection were helplessly exposed to the rain of arrows and were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
