Chapter 160 Framing a Comrade

Wang Quan glanced at everyone and asked.

"The final general Wu Lu is willing to give it a try!"

"Liu Zhi, the last general, is willing to be the forward."

"The last general, Qin Wei, invites you to fight!"

Liu Zhi, Wulu, and Qin Wei all asked for a fight.

Seeing that none of the generals had lost their fighting spirit, Wang Quan nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Zhi was a little reckless in his actions, but he was the strongest among the three in terms of force, and he was always at the front when he led troops to charge. Wulu, on the other hand, plays steadily and calmly after all. Qin Wei is relatively well-behaved.

After thinking for a while, Wang Quan said:

"Liu Zhi, as the vanguard general, you will lead an army of ten thousand. Wu Lu, as the deputy general, you will assist Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi, remember, although you are the leading general, you must follow Wu Lu's advice!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Liu Zhi and Wulu came out.

The siege army slowly approached Fangcheng. The soldiers on top of the urn city looked at the densely packed enemy troops below the tower, which were as numerous as ants, and each of them subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.

Lin Xiaofan was wearing a big coat and standing on a city wall. Looking at the countless enemy troops below, there was no panic in his eyes for the first time on the battlefield, replaced by calmness.

"Jiang Li, Da Zhuang, what do you think is our chance of winning this battle?"

Lin Xiaofan asked.

He was appointed to command the Crossbow Corps. Since it was his first time commanding a battle, Jianfeng also assigned him an experienced lieutenant.

"what!"

Jiang Li obviously didn't expect that Lin Xiaofan would ask him such a question. After thinking for a moment or two, he said:

"Based on past experience, the chance of winning is only [-]%. But with General Jianfeng and Brother Lin in this battle, in my opinion, the chance of winning is [-]%!"

Jiang Li said with pride. It seems that in his opinion, as long as General Jianfeng is here, there is no battle that cannot be won. What's more, there is Lin Xiaofan, a top strategist.

Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, looking at the approaching army and roughly calculating the distance.

There are more than two thousand people in the Liannu Corps. Although they are not many, they are all experienced archers carefully selected by General Jianfeng. After Lin Xiaofan's one-day special training yesterday, they had completely mastered Lian Nu. Within forty feet, each of their shooting accuracy was as high as [-]%.

The coalition forces were getting closer and closer to them, and soon they were on the ice.

Looking at the piece of ice in front of them, Liu Zhi and Wu Lu ordered to stop the army, both of them frowned.

Once they step up, the soldiers may fall down. When the formation is disrupted, they will instantly become a living target for the opponent's archers.

How should I break this?

"General Liu, in my opinion, we should move forward slowly and steadily, then the shield formation will be formed, and the soldiers inside will break up the ice, and then continue forward. This can minimize the losses."

Liu Zhi took a few steps on the ice to try. If he launched an attack on it, there might indeed be an accident.

By then, it would be difficult for him to deal with the royal power. But if he goes by what Wulu said, it would be a waste of time and inconsistent with his previous fighting style.

After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Then just follow what General Wu said."

If it were normal, he would definitely not be willing to take this approach. However, General Wang Quan told him to listen more to Wulu's suggestions.

Seeing the steady and steady coalition soldiers below, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. It seems that the commander-in-chief of the coalition's vanguard force is not a reckless person. If they launch a direct attack, when the giant crossbow fires, their formation will be thrown into chaos, and they will become a living target for the repeating crossbows.

But even if they come slowly and steadily, they will still have to pay a price.

"Prepare the giant crossbow!"

For another hundred years on the city wall, Jianfeng commanded the soldiers and brought up dozens of giant crossbows from Fangcheng.

After releasing the arrows, cocking the string, and all preparations were completed, the giant crossbow was aimed at the coalition soldiers.

"Is this a giant crossbow?"

Wulu looked at the huge crossbows being pushed up, then looked at the shield soldiers in the front row, and frowned.

You must know that the front shields are thickened and enlarged, and it takes two or three strong men to lift one. Such a shield can block even shots from a giant crossbow.

But Bing hasn't had time to clear it yet. If he is shot at this time, the huge impact may completely scatter the formation. At that point, they become living targets.

"No, General Liu, order the withdrawal immediately!"

Wu Lu hurriedly spoke.

"Withdraw your troops, don't worry, General Wu. These shield soldiers of mine are all chosen..."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of huge crossbow arrows flew over and shot straight at the shield soldiers in the front row.

At this moment, Liu Zhi realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, the crossbow arrow hit the shield. The soldiers who were hit undoubtedly took a few steps back, and many even fell directly to the ground. In an instant, the troops behind were exposed.

Lin Xiaofan saw this and seized the opportunity to shout:

"Fire arrows!"

Countless arrows flew into the position, like the god of death, harvesting the lives of the coalition forces.

"Fire arrows!"

Before the opponent could react, the second round of shooting from the crossbow unit had already begun. Compared to ordinary archers, repeating crossbow soldiers shoot much faster.

The distance between the two sides is not far, and within this distance, the hit rate of the crossbow troops is as high as [-]%. A single salvo can take away the lives of hundreds of people.

The formation that the coalition forces were about to set up was disrupted by rounds of volleys of crossbow troops.

Liu Zhi had already realized that something was wrong, and now he wanted to form a formation, but he probably couldn't do it, so he could only give an order to retreat.

In an instant, the vanguard troops became living targets.

By the time they exited the range of the giant crossbow, more than half of them had suffered casualties.

Liu Zhi looked at the corpses on the ground and felt a little at a loss for a moment.

It was just the first round of attack. They didn't even touch the opposite city gate, but already three to four thousand people were killed or injured? He has never fought such a frustrating battle!

And looking at the ice that was still dozens of meters away, he couldn't think of any way to rush through.

"Wulu, what should we do next?"

Wulu thought for a moment and then said:

"With the giant crossbow and this ice layer, the shield soldiers can't stop it at all. With just a few of us, we probably won't be able to reach the other side without being defeated. In my opinion, withdrawing our troops is the best option."

At the moment, they really can't think of any better way. If this continues, it will only waste time. It is better to go back and seek help from the king.

"What? Go back? Are you kidding! I am a vanguard general. I led [-] people to attack the city, but three thousand people died. You just asked me to go back? I think you just envy my position as a vanguard general!"

When Liu Zhi heard this, he was immediately angry. If he goes back like this, not to mention whether he will be punished, he will never be able to hold his head high in front of many generals.

"I envy you? Haha, although I in Wulu pursue fame, I will never frame my comrades!"

Wulu was misunderstood and immediately became angry.

"enough!"

At some point, Wang Quan appeared beside the two of them.
