Within the Meng Army camp, Li Cunxiao was leading the 10,000 soldiers that had been prepared for a long time, hiding in various locations, waiting for the Goguryeon army's night attack!
A moment later, Yang Yi walked out of the military tent. He looked at the brightly lit inner city and smiled." As expected of a peerless commander. It seems that it won't be easy to take down this inner city!"”
Yang Yi shook his head slightly. Then, he came in front of Li Cunxiao and the others. He said to Li Cunxiao," Go and order the people to light the torches. It seems that Eji Wende has already seen through my plan. He won't come for a night attack tonight!"”
"Yes, my lord!"
Li Cunxiao nodded slightly and ordered a team of Meng Army soldiers to light up the torches. Then, the sparsely lit Meng Army campsite lit up!
At the same time, Yizhi Wende and his deputy who had yet to leave looked at the brightly lit Meng army camp and smiled.”
The deputy general's pupils shrank. He understood that if it wasn't for Yizhi Wende stopping him, he would have been beheaded. Not only would he die, but he would also consume a large amount of the city's defense forces!
"General is brilliant, I admire you!"
After a long time, the deputy general sighed and understood the gap between him, Yizhi Wende, and Yang Yi!
A moment later, Yizhi Wende smiled and looked deeply at the Meng Army camp. He seemed to be looking at Yang Yi through space!
……
The next morning, tens of thousands of Meng family's soldiers dismounted and fought outside the city as infantrymen!
"My lord, I am willing to be the vanguard and test the strength of this Yizhi Wende for my lord!”
In front of the army, Li Cunxiao asked Yang Yi to fight!
"Let the others test it first!" Yang Yi shook his head and didn't agree to Li Cunxiao's request. Instead, he ordered the other major general," Cao Jian, I order you to lead 5,000 Meng troops to attack!"”
"Yes!"
Captain Cao Jian nodded his head slightly and then called out the 5,000 men of the Meng family's army.
With 2,000 shield-wielding soldiers in the front, 1,000 soldiers with two Qin crossbows hanging from their waists and one in their hands, and 2,000 soldiers with halberds and scaling ladders at the back, they launched their first attack on the inner city!
"Defend!"
On the inner city, Yizhi Wende was already in position. When he saw the 5,000 Meng army attacking the city, he waved his hand and waves of arrows shot into the Meng army.
The 2,000 Meng Army soldiers raised their shields and formed a shield wall, blocking most of the arrows.
The few arrows that passed through the shield wall and landed on the Meng Army were weakened by the shield wall. After piercing the black armor of the Meng Army, they lost their strength and were unable to penetrate the defense of the black armor!
After a round of arrows, the arrows stopped for a few seconds before the 1,000 Meng Family soldiers who were hiding under the shield wall stood up.
The 1,000 Meng soldiers raised their Qin crossbows and pulled the triggers. In less than 10 seconds, the 5 bolts in each of the Qin crossbows were emptied. Before the second wave of arrows arrived, they once again hid under the shield wall!
On top of the inner city, Yizhi Wende looked at the Meng family's army that had suddenly stepped forward and the small Qin crossbow in their hands. He immediately frowned. What happened next shocked him!
The 1,000 Meng Army soldiers shot out over 5,000 small ballista bolts in 10 seconds, and a dense rain of arrows shot towards the city walls!
In his shock, Yizhi Wende did not have the time to order his soldiers to dodge. He relied on his strength as a top-notch general to dodge before the arrow arrived. The deputy general beside him was not as lucky as him!
More than five thousand small ballista bolts shot into the inner city, and a large number of Goguryeon soldiers who were unable to react in time were turned into porcupines by the dense rain of arrows, including the deputy general!
Just as Yizhi Wende squatted down, he heard a series of miserable screams, including his deputy general who was shot like a porcupine by the dense crossbow bolts!
A corpse covered in crossbow bolts fell to the ground. It was the deputy general of Eji Wende. At a glance, there were at least a dozen of them. They were shot at his arms, abdomen, face, and other parts. The most fatal one was the one shot in the face, which directly killed him!
The other dozen arrows were either not fatal or blocked by the armor he was wearing!
From this, one could see the weakness of the Qin crossbow. It could not cause any damage to heavy armor. After all, the Qin crossbow was equipped with a small crossbow bolt. It could only shoot through cloth armor and barely penetrate thin armor!
Once they faced the heavily armored troops, the might of the Qin Crossbows would be greatly reduced!
Of course, the Meng family's army also had a secret weapon that could deal with heavy armor. It was known as Great Qin's Nation Weapon, the Heavy Crossbow. With a single arrow, even heavy armor would be pierced through!
However, even among the 100,000 Meng soldiers, there were only a few thousand heavy crossbows. Moreover, the bolts used in the heavy crossbows were all made of a special metal mixed with dark iron. They were rare, so Yang Yi had not used them until now!
Moreover, the installation of the heavy crossbows was complicated. In a short period of time, each heavy crossbow could only be used once and could not be used frequently. In addition, there were not many of them, so they were hidden by Yang Yi as secret weapons!
