When Chen Dengchuchu saw the cavalry running outside the city, his heart was pounding like a drum. Even in the cold winter of nine, it was wrong. It was already early spring. Even in the biting cold of early spring, Chen Deng still felt that he was sweating, and just touched his forehead, but nothing was left.

There were still snow and dry grass on the ground outside the city, and the cavalry ran without smoke and dust, but the raised mud and snow mist still looked very impressive.

Chen Deng hid at the height of the city gate tower, and two guards in front of him were holding large shields one left and one right, and the attack began! Chen Deng clenched his fists.

"Order soldiers to pay attention to arrow defense, crossbowmen to prepare for shooting, catapults to load gravel, and prepare for shooting!"

Chen Deng's voice was a little tight, but this was not important. The messenger had already accurately conveyed Chen Deng's orders through loud shouts, horns, and the flag bearer's actions.

Chen Deng was a little nervous, but not completely afraid. That was because it was the first time Chen Deng fought against a regular army, and his opponent was a world-renowned military god. This pressure was inevitably greater. In fact, it was not only him who was nervous, but the defenders on the city wall, and even the strange people were a little nervous. The so-called shadow of the famous tree was really not covered.

‘Rumbling ~’

The cavalry outside the city was divided into several teams, each with about two thousand people, and began to try to impact the city wall. Each time there were about two teams that swept across from two directions. The catapults in the city wanted to hit such a small cavalry team that could change speed and direction at any time, which was a dream.

As for the crossbow soldiers formation, it was strange that he didn't say anything!

The cavalry then ran happily down the city wall, and accurately projected the crossbow arrows in their hands from more than 400 steps away from the city. The arrows from the side, and the left and right sides were not easy to defend. Chen Deng asked the defenders at the city to form conical formations, with shield soldiers on both sides, which effectively defended the enemy's crossbow arrows.

The crossbow soldiers in the formation can calmly throw arrows downwards, but unfortunately, the range is not reachable at all.

However, Chen Deng still underestimated Fang Zhiwen too much. Fang Zhiwen saw that the enemy was defending heavily on the city wall, and immediately ordered a skill attack. It was too late when Chen Deng found something wrong.

With the banging skill explosion, blood flew across the city's remaining limbs, as if they were hell on earth. Chen Deng then realized that things on the battlefield were not that simple. Although he had come up with a formation to resist the rushing shooting, he did not block the opponent's skill volley. What's even more desperate is that the number of skill volleys and damage power of the enemy's skill volleys is really too strong.

Moreover, the skill volley was just the beginning. With the light of the skill, there was a continuous rain of arrows. Chen Deng's eyes were shattered, but he was powerless.

"Order the soldiers to go down to the city to hide, leaving only the observation post!"

"Sir, the enemy is heading towards the east wall!"

"Hurry, let the east wall execute the orders as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

"Sir, won't the crossbowmen fight back?"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..." Chen Deng seemed to be answering, and seemed to be muttering to himself.

Fang Zhiwen's troops maintained a slow speed, taking two thousand as a unit to sweep across the city walls in turn. However, in addition to achieving good results on the southern city wall, the defenders on the other two city walls had already slipped down to the city, and Fang Zhiwen's attack was basically ineffective.

Fang Zhiwen stopped at the distance of about a thousand steps, looked at the flying flags on the top of the city and asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, what do you think Chen Deng is making? Put us on the top of the city?"

"He is sure that we dare not climb the city. If such a small number of troops are obviously insufficient!"

"Hehe, not necessarily. If my guard or Ziyi's guard goes up, even two thousand people can capture the city gate!"

"Lord, if I defend the city, I will burn you with a fire!"

"Oh? Fengxiao, you take over the Golden Eagle and see what ambush is in the city. Chen Deng is a self-righteous man and likes to engage in conspiracies and tricks. I won't believe that he is just keeping his guard!"

Guo Jia smiled and took over the control of Jinying from the army's reconnaissance staff, and carefully observed the arrangements in the city.

"Haha, the lord guessed well. Chen Deng spent a lot of effort in the city. First of all, the arrangement of the trencher is very interesting. The trencher is concentrated in the four corners of the city. What did the lord think of?"

Fang Zhiwen narrowed his eyes: "Is Fengxiao going to take the exam for me?"

"Just treat it!"

"The catapult is at the four corners to attract us to get close to the city wall and then start the catapult from the side. If this is arranged, there should be crossbow soldiers ambushing them and chasing them with the catapult to pursue them. Cavalry preparations can be arranged near the city gate. When we approach the city wall, the catapults on both sides will cover and shoot, and all the ambushers on the city will be launched. First use the pounding stone to drive us down, and then the crossbow soldiers will climb the city and conduct rapid attacks. When our army is in chaos, the cavalry at the city gate can go out of the city to assault. This strategy is still good, and it grasps the key points of concentrated firepower projection."

Guo Jia applauded gently: "The lord is wise, so is what my subordinates see!"

"Haha, it's useless to flatter. Now you're marching and you don't have any alcohol to drink!"

"Tsk! You're underestimating people. Can't you tell the truth?"

"Hehe, Fengxiao thinks how should we deal with it? Can we use his setup to take advantage of us?"

Guo Jia pinched his chin and started thinking. After a while, Guo Jia smiled and asked, "What would Chen Deng think if we refused to be fooled?"

Fang Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "Maybe he would doubt whether we discovered something, and then worry about gains and losses, consider whether to change the layout, or try every means to continue to lure us into the city, and sway between the two!"

"Haha, that's right! But how can we change the arrangement? Chen Deng doesn't have many chips in his hands, so he should eventually find ways to let us go to the city. He doesn't hesitate to...hehe..."

"So that's it. Fengxiao is really cunning. Are you trying to lure him to continue baiting?"

"Yes, we won't eat this bait if it's not fat!"

....................................................................................

Chen Deng’s palms were really sweating in the city. The situation was pretty good now. Fang Zhiwen seemed to have no good idea. He just replaced the rocket and started shooting into the city.

When the rocket was shot into the city, Fang Zhiwen's cavalry had approached the distance of two hundred steps in the city wall. Chen Deng still held back. Although it might cause damage to Fang Zhiwen's cavalry at this distance, the damage was extremely limited. More importantly, doing so would expose the trap he had carefully set.

Chen Deng was still fantasizing whether he had the possibility of defeating Fang Zhiwen. Chen Deng's personality was actually very rebellious, otherwise things would not have developed to this point today. Every rebellious person is actually very proud in his bones and has the characteristics of refusing to admit defeat. Chen Deng is no exception. Therefore, he wanted to try to defeat Fang Zhiwen, but when this idea came out, he could no longer hold on.

Chen Deng endured again, and while ordering the militia in the city to put out the fire, he stared at Fang Zhiwen's actions. He wanted to confirm from Fang Zhiwen's actions that Fang Zhiwen had seen through his arrangements.

Chen Deng's quietness seemed to make Fang Zhiwen hesitate. The cavalry outside the city still wandered slowly at a distance of about two hundred steps, scattering rockets into the city from time to time. It seemed that they were also very cautious.

"Order a group of crossbow soldiers to go to the city quietly and be careful of being hidden."

"promise!"

Chen Deng decided to throw some more bait to see if Fang Zhiwen was fooled!

When Fang Zhiwen's cavalry team gradually approached 200 steps as usual, a group of defenders suddenly stood up on Cheng's head, and these defenders were holding powerful crossbows in their hands!

"Scall! Let it go!"

"Free shooting!"

This time, the cavalry led the team to Taishici. Seeing this, Taishici had already knocked his horse's belly and shouted: "Rise the shield, cone formation, accelerate!"

The long snake formation, which was originally slow, suddenly ran wildly as if it was kicked by someone, and quickly shrank into a ball, and then turned rapidly. Although many crossbow arrows still shot into the cavalry, this damage was like tickling with the double blessing of Taishi Ci and Fang Zhiwen.

However, these exposed crossbow soldiers were in trouble, because Ma Xin's army, who was following Taishi Ci, seized the opportunity and started shooting. These powerful crossbow soldiers who were completely unprotected by shield soldiers were immediately killed or injured!

"Shield soldiers come forward to protect!" Chen Deng ordered in time, and he wanted to give Fang Zhiwen an illusion, thinking that he had made a fool of himself because he wanted to withdraw the crossbow soldiers.

"Fan Guowei, Long Yun, pay attention to the attacks on both sides later!"

"clear!"

"Okay, attack!"

Fang Zhiwen shouted loudly and urged his horse to rush towards the city wall.

"Skill volley! Let it go!"

"Bows and arrows are free to shoot! Free to shoot!"

This time, Fang Zhiwen rushed to a range of less than 200 steps, trying to teach Chen Deng a hard lesson with a high speed of fire at close range.

Chen Deng clenched his fists tightly, muttering something in his mouth. The guards close to Chen Deng could hear it. Chen Deng said, "Participation!".

"Light crossbow soldiers climbed the city to fight!" Chen Deng's mouth trembled. This was an abandoned piece. The problem was that these things he regarded as abandoned pieces were not black and white pieces on the chessboard, but living lives. Chen Deng clearly felt the weight of this. No wonder the ancients said that kindness was not in charge of soldiers and had no ability to bear it. He really couldn't control soldiers!

"Order Taishici to attack again!"

"Get another skill volley! Let it go!"

'boom!'

In the strong skill flash, a bloody smoke exploded on the city wall again. Ma Xin, who was turning around in the distance, was ready to recoil, and couldn't help but feel a little numb when she saw it. She quickly adjusted the visual mode to a cartoon mode, otherwise she would have nightmares at night!

"Accelerate! Prepare for skill volley!"

Ma Xinqing shouted, knocked on the war horse, and rushed out first.
Chapter completed!
