Dream Broken You Pavilion

The twilight was dim, the moon and stars were sparse, and the army under the city began to move.

Shang Wuyang rode his horse at the front of the team, behind him were Ah Jun and Geng Yu, Jing'er was sitting on a horse in armor, but she was very heroic, followed closely behind Geng Yu, followed by cavalry and infantry in the rear.

But seeing Shang Wuyang wave his arm, the team slowly advanced towards Xuande Mansion in an orderly and unhurried manner, until they stopped a stone's throw away from the city wall.

On the tower, Situ Junnan watched nervously, sweating in his palms, seeing the army below the city stopped beyond the range of the bows and arrows, he said to Wei Xuan: "Hurry up, hurry up, shout out."

Wei Xuan shouted loudly at the army below the city:

"Who is coming? Where is the team, please report your name quickly."

Shang Wuyang could hear the shouting on the tower clearly, his eyes fixed on the soldiers on the tower and the heads shaking among the battlements with Ruju's eyes. With a disdainful smile, he did not answer the question on the tower.

Seeing this, Situ Junnan laughed suddenly, and said to Wei Xuan:

"See, this bandit leader doesn't even dare to answer, he looks like a listless bear, and he still wants to fight this general? Look at his formation, the cavalry is in front of the siege, and he didn't see the ladder for the siege , Is he going to kick my city wall with a horseshoe? Haha, he is obviously just a grassroots bandit who can't use soldiers. I don't know which mountain came down from it. He dares to challenge General Situ. He really knows nothing."

Situ Junnan seemed to be more courageous, poked out half of his head, and shouted at the army down the mountain:

"I said, are you here to fight a war, or to go sightseeing? If you get scared, just turn around and go back. This general will definitely let you go, hahaha..."

Then he said to the soldiers hidden in the walls of the city wall:

"Come on, get your bows and arrows ready, and greet them well in a while, and let their cavalry get rolled off the ground by this general."

Suddenly, there was a sound of "creaking" the bow was fully drawn, and long arrows pointed directly at the city.

……

"Situ has already been fooled." Ah Jun said.

Shang Wuyang also saw the bow and arrow protruding from the middle of the city wall and said:

"This is what Jing'er said to be true and false, to respond to all changes with the same, to endure his temper. Since he is in a good mood, let him laugh for a while, anyway, he won't be able to laugh for long."

Ah Jun whispered: "Don't underestimate the enemy, after all they have more people than us."

Shang Wuyang carefully looked at the bows and arrows protruding from the walls with his squinted eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Now that there is a shortage of iron ore, it would be nice to collect so many bows and arrows and bring them to the border for us to fight."

The army below the city neither advanced nor retreated, and did not answer their shouts, making the people in the city look at each other in blank dismay, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

Just like that, time seemed to stand still. After a deadlock of kung fu, the army under the city still didn't move at all. Even though the soldiers with full bows had amazing arms, they couldn't bear to draw the bows for a long time, and their arms were numb. Xia had no choice but to withdraw his bow first, and some soldiers even showed complaints.

Seeing this, Wei Xuan was full of wonder, and said, "General, what do you think they want to do? Why do they just look at us like this, but they don't move at all?"

Situ Junnan was also puzzled, "Huh? This bandit soldier came here with all his equipment after traveling a long distance, so he didn't just come here to see what the walls of our Xuande Mansion look like, did he? This general doesn't know what they are. Which one did you sing?"

Just when he was full of doubts, suddenly, the army under the city began to advance.

"Look, general, they are coming."

Seeing that the army was walking slowly and was about to step into the range of the bows and arrows and stopped again, Situ Junnan immediately ordered the archers to prepare.The soldiers drew their bows again.

Shang Wuyang rode on a tall horse, his eyes were like torches, and he was majestic. He slowly stretched out his right hand and held the Liuyun sword hanging on the left side of his waist. Under the reflection, a cold and dazzling brown cold light slowly pointed to the dark sky.

In an instant, the sound of battle drums before the battle resounded through the sky.

The formation of the army suddenly changed. Shang Wuyang, Geng Yu, A Jun and Jing'er who had been standing at the forefront suddenly turned their horses and retreated from the middle of the line. Then the cavalry phalanx also turned their horses and moved quickly. Moving backwards, at the same time, a group of infantrymen holding shields quickly advanced to the forefront of the team in unison.There is a square formation for every 90 people, five square formations in a row, and ten square formations in two rows. Eight thousand guards suddenly raised their arms and shouted:

"Drop your weapons and open the city gates! Put down your weapons and open the city gates..."

This sudden scene made Situ Junnan dumbfounded, and he muttered in bewilderment:

"What formation is this? What are they going to do?"

Wei Xuan also had question marks in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know the last general, I've never seen such a formation before."

Just as they were wondering, the army under the city suddenly continued to move forward again, and it was within the range of the bow and arrow.

Suddenly, hundreds of archers appeared in the ranks below the city. They raised their bows and set up arrows and shot towards the city wall. After shooting, they immediately retreated into the rear formation. Ten steps away from the city wall, they fell into the mud below the city.

Seeing this, Situ Junnan was extremely excited, laughed loudly, and said: "Siege the city with a bow and arrow? What kind of battle is this? You dare to yell at Situ Junnan with me at this level. If so, then the general will teach you How to use the bow and crossbow, let you have a good taste of the power of the general's bow and crossbow."

Immediately shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

"嗖嗖嗖" saw a dense rain of arrows shooting down from the city wall, and the guards immediately squatted down and raised their shields high. Ten square formations, each with 90 people, held high shields Like an iron wall, it covered them tightly, and the rain of arrows that flew down hit the shield without exception.

The torches above and below the city illuminated the front of the city wall as brightly as day. Looking down from the city, the ten infantry phalanxes seemed to have turned into ten large black boxes.

Seeing this scene on the tower, Situ Junnan laughed happily and said:

"Look at these grandsons, they think they are safe with a broken shield. The general just shoots arrows, and they are all huddled inside and dare not come out. Come on, give them a good greeting for the general, and tie them all into hedgehogs for me. !"

Hearing Situ Junnan's order, the soldiers did not dare to be negligent, they drew their bows fully and shot down waves of arrows.

Strange to say, I don't know if Situ Junnan is well trained or these archers are all masters, those arrows seem to have eyes, unexpectedly none of them missed, and none of them fell on the ground. The volley fell on the black lacquered shields that were raised high.

Wei Xuan was overjoyed, "Look, general, the enemy troops have all been tied into 'hedgehogs'."

Situ Junnan laughed triumphantly "haha".

……

Jing'er said loudly to Geng Yu: "They have quite a lot of arrows. Situ Junnan finally fought a battle in Xuande City. How can he show his great achievements in 'defending the city' without using more weapons? He's doing himself a favor, and then he will yell twice more."

Geng Yulang said: "Okay."

He clenched his left arm and raised his fist, and the guards behind him shouted again in unison:

"Drop your weapons and open the city gates! Put down your weapons and open the city gates..."

"Situ Junnan surrenders, spare you! Situ Junnan surrenders, spare you..."

Hearing the shout, Situ Junnan's mouth almost twisted in anger, his thick eyebrows hung upside down, and he shouted angrily:

"Damn, wait until I chop off your heads and see if you can still shout, come on, take out all the arrows to greet them, and see if they dare to call me to open the door."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As the rain of arrows struck again, without any suspense, the arrows still did not miss, and all the arrows "shot" on those shields...

Repeated this many times, the arrows did not go empty, the deputy general looked more and more wrong, and said: "General, our quiver is almost empty. This is not right, why do you think they are so calm?"

The muscles on Situ Junnan's face trembled, "That's right, this general also looks weird."

Wei Xuan pointed to the "black boxes" made of shields and filled with long arrows under the city, wondering:

"Look, none of the arrows shot by our archers missed, all of them hit their shields, and none of them were on the ground? But none of their people were injured. Are we working in vain? ?”

Situ Junnan poked his head out of the city and looked carefully outside the city. It didn't matter what he saw, and he took a deep breath, "Isn't that right, what's going on here?"

And how did he know that the shield originally made of rattan could not completely defend against bows and arrows, so Jing'er ordered someone to crush the magnet on the meteorite and stick it to the shield. Iron stone, the arrowhead of the long arrow is made of iron, when the long arrow shoots, it will be pulled by gravity, and thus firmly attached to the shield.

……

Seeing the strange formation of the army below the city, but only defending and not attacking, Situ Junnan really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine they were selling in this gourd. A faint unease arose in his heart, and he shouted loudly:

"Gunpowder arrows ready."

Seeing the cylindrical gunpowder arrows protruding from the wall, Shang Wuyang smiled, and Geng Yu smiled. Ah Jun's face looked cold, but there was an uncontrollable excitement in his big eyes.

Jing'er looked at everything in front of her and gritted her teeth secretly. These weapons were all designed and forged by her. Whether the new weapons can be used to the extreme on the battlefield is what she cares most about now. At this moment, her heart is more important than anyone else's. Be nervous.

Geng Yu couldn't bear his temper, he laughed and said: "Look, young master, they have run out of arrows, and now they are going to use gunpowder arrows, this is another good show."

Jing'er said: "Then we can't let them down, send our big baby up for them to have a look."

Geng Yu raised his right arm, and with an order, the sound of war drums under the city became rapid. In an instant, those guards who "returned with full load" holding shields quickly got up and retreated, and another ten phalanxes quickly added up, and this time the soldiers on the periphery of the phalanx all Holding a huge peng platoon, what is even more strange is that more than a dozen soldiers in the middle of each phalanx are carrying a black object. After the phalanx is in place, the soldiers put the things they are carrying on the ground, just in the center position.

"Boom, boom, boom..." As the drums sounded again, the brothers in the phalanx stretched out their hands to remove the black cloth covering the object in the center of the phalanx, revealing strange big square boxes. .

Sima Junnan and Wei Xuan lay on the walls of the city wall, looking as far as they could, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"Sure enough, it's a big box, but what exactly is it?" Situ Junnan's eyes were full of confusion.
