The next day, before dawn, a horn sounded in the distance.
You could feel that Sun Qing was a little impatient this time.
They were given so many tricks yesterday, and today they were completely angry.
Qingcang didn't return to the main city last night, so he spent the night on the city tower.
Fortunately, more and more people joined the battle, and eventually more than 5,000 people came to help.
However, these people were not good at close combat or archery, and could only operate ballistae.
However, Qingcang still asked the soldiers to teach them.
The use of ballistae freed up more than 2,000 soldiers for deployment.
"Commander, all the bridges of the Montenegrin Army have been blocked."
Guo Jia was now using his telescope very clearly, and he saw the Black Mountain Army quickly approaching Huaxia City.
"Let me see" Qing Cang used a telescope to take a look and found that it was indeed the case, but he found a clue.
"Nine times out of ten, these baffles are loose and must have been rushed out."
"So good for us" Qing Cang sighed: "It can only be said to be a short-term advantage.
After all, the ones we rushed out can withstand one or two waves of attacks from our side.
Once our offensive is eased by them, their landing battle will come.
In this way, all our traps, rocks, and rolling logs will be released."
A siege war is a war of attrition.
Once the defender's city defense is exhausted, then there will be a hand-to-hand battle between the attacker and defender to see who has more soldiers, more strategies, and more advanced weapons.
He continued: "But things are not all bad.
At least we allowed them to delay the attack, harassed them all night, and eliminated two thousand people.
This can be considered another kind of victory."
Although the size of the two thousand people is still smaller than the thirty thousand people, it has to be said that the gap between the two sides has narrowed slightly, which is quite encouraging in this regard.
Guo Jia replied: "Maybe, it will probably depend on how long we can hold on."
The situation is not optimistic, and the only thing that can be done is to pray for a little longer.
Qing Cang put down the telescope.
"Yes, time is very precious.
At this time, Captain Zhao should be halfway there."
Guo Jia said softly: "According to calculations, we can probably arrive in the afternoon at the earliest."
The soldiers led by Zhao Zilong and Zhang Liao are not all knights, but a large part are infantry, so the movement speed is not very fast.
If they march without rest, it will take up to two days at the fastest.
This method will affect the physical strength and strength of the soldiers.
Mental energy is a huge drain and is rarely used unless there is an emergency.
"Okay, let's get started" Watching the enemy army gradually advance, you can see a middle-aged man wearing golden armor from a distance behind the Black Mountain Army.
With such dazzling armor, he must be Sun Qingwu, but he is hiding three kilometers away.
It's not easy to kill him at such a long distance.
And this guy is always moving, especially when there are so many guards around him.
"Fighters of the Chinese Legion, the enemy is right in front of us.
In order to defend our homeland, we must rise and fight to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
The Chinese Legion is proud of you.
The Chinese people are proud of you.
Pick up the weapons in your hands.
We fight for the glory." war" All the warriors cheered in unison.
"Fight for Glory" "Fight for Glory" The soldiers' blood boiled when they heard this, and even the people who came to help temporarily had the impulse to pick up the weapons in their hands and fight the enemy.
It has to be said that Qing Cang has a good way of inspiring people.
Everyone present was infected by him, including Guo Jia.

The people who came to help yesterday couldn't help but ask.
"Lord City Lord, we also have to fight for Huaxia City."
Qingcang nodded towards the people.
"Everyone here today is the hero of Huaxia City.
I am proud of you and ask you to join me in defeating foreign enemies."
"Defeat foreign enemies" "Defeat foreign enemies" "Okay, so prepare the ballista and let's give the enemy a hard blow.
Give me a hard blow."
As soon as he gave the order, everyone immediately got into position and began to operate the ballistae.
Just waiting for him to give the order to launch, these thousand ballistae forces would be launched with astonishing force, hitting the enemy head-on.
The enemy was still advancing, and the blocked bridge had a certain impact on their sight, so they were moving a little slowly.
The forward was led by Luo Xiu, and it could be seen from his face that he was very tired.
Wait until their crossing bridge reaches the range of the ballista.
Qingcang immediately ordered: "shooting" A thousand flaming ballista arrows flew out in a flash, and the scene was very spectacular.
However, when the ballista arrows hit the bridge baffle, half of them were blocked.
Only a small half of it was hit, and the spilled kerosene burned the baffle, but because the wood board used for the baffle had not dried completely, it was unable to burn it.
The opponent had nearly 300 crossing bridges.
This attack did not have much substantive effect.
Only a dozen crossing bridges were blocked by problems, and the rest were completed ignoring these attacks.
"Sure enough, due to the angle problem and the principle of parabola, these ballista arrows cannot penetrate the baffle."
You have to think of another way, otherwise once you are put on the bridge, the enemies will rush across the moat crazily.
The enemy army became very crazy now, because the ballistae arrows could no longer resist them, and it was only a matter of time before they crossed the moat.
"Huaxia City is at the end of its tether.
Let's rush forward.
We can get a hundred taels of gold by taking the city lord's head."
"Run for a hundred taels of gold, let's rush."
When they gain momentum, they advance, when they lose momentum, they retreat.
Without the threat of attack, they advance triumphantly.
The people on the city wall were almost depressed, because the attack just now had no effect, and their mood was at its lowest point.
"The ballistae is ready, aiming at the thirty crossing bridges in a straight line from Wengcheng" People didn't know what Qingcang wanted to do, so they had no choice but to do it.
"Commander, why is this?"
Dian Wei, who had been silent, asked.
Since the ballistae was useless, why did Qingcang continue to use the ballistae?
Wasn't this doing useless work?
He didn't understand it at all.
Hence this question.
Guo Jia whispered: "The commander is concentrating the power of the ballistae to drive them away."
"emission" A thousand ballistae arrows were aimed at the thirty or so crossbow bridges in the straight line of Wengcheng.
They rushed towards the crossbow bridge menacingly.
The thirty crossbows were facing a thousand crossbow arrows, and each ballistae had to bear the torrent.
The number of arrows is about thirty, which is incredible.
How big is the area of the entire baffle?
Boom boom boom Sure enough, under the massive bombardment of ballistae arrows, these thirty bridges were destroyed and no bones were left.
The soldiers behind them were also pushed out dozens of meters away, and nearly a hundred people were killed or injured.
"Great, the enemy doesn't dare to advance now."
"The city lord is wise and can find a way to attack in the shortest time."

"Young and promising, this is our city lord" "Long live the Chinese Army."
Qingcang felt very happy when he heard people singing their praises, but he was happy a little too early for killing only one-tenth of the enemy's crossing the bridge.
Each time he loaded the ballista arrows, it took several minutes, and several The minutes added up to a terrifying situation, and he didn't know how many more times he could attack.
Three times five times or more.
However, there was no time for him to think about it now, because the enemy was advancing again. s: Please give me recommendation votes and full praise.
