Chapter 1079: Just Like Hellfire
Chapter 1079: Just Like Hellfire
Nisby covered her bleeding ear with one hand and quickly squatted down to hide behind the parapet.
On the Dai Viet side, Qiao Dong put down his bow and said with some regret:
"Alas, it's a pity that the shot missed and didn't kill him!"
Qiao Ran patted his brother on the shoulder and encouraged:
"Not bad, you can hit the target from such a distance. Your arm strength and accuracy are better than most people."
Huang Dabiao also looked at the boy with surprise:
"Mr. Qiao, your archery skills are really good! Are you interested in coming to my camp to be the archery battalion commander? There are thousands of people in our archery battalion, and you would be the equivalent of a thousand-man captain!"
For most soldiers, it is a great blessing to jump from an ordinary soldier to a captain of a thousand men.
However, Qiao Dong shook his head:
"No, thank you General Huang for your kindness. My archery skills were taught by my sister, my grandfather, and the uncles of the Zheng Family Army. I am in the Zheng Family Army now, and I am a soldier of the Zheng Family Army!"
"Okay! Good boy!"
Huang Dabiao admired this boy even more.
He is not tempted by the temptation of power and even knows how to be grateful. What a good guy!
At this time, people on the opposite city wall had already started throwing stones at this side. Naturally, this side was not willing to be outdone and threw pieces of burning flint at the city wall.
Soon, the city wall was ablaze with fire, burning the Northern Desert soldiers so much that they cried for their parents.
The third and fourth princes on the city wall had already hidden somewhere unknown. When the first wave of fierce kerosene fire attack came, they were almost scared to death by the blazing flames that covered the sky and the earth. They quickly got down from the city wall and hid back in the city.
Scared to death!
Although they had heard from Nicebi that the Dai Viet people were very powerful in fire attacks, those who had not seen it with their own eyes thought that it was just some rags wrapped around stones and set on fire.
But I didn't expect that the fire attack was so powerful and the fire burned so fiercely. Moreover, the fire did not go out even after the rocks fell, but was still burning fiercely, as if it would never go out.
The soldiers whose bodies were rubbed by the stone were immediately engulfed in flames, which could not be put out until they were burned to death.
That scene was like hellfire, so fucking scary!
The two princes escaped, but Nicebi, the great general who protects the country, could not escape.
He ordered people around him to raise shields to block the fierce fire and oil stones, and directed his own archers to shoot arrows at the enemy's catapults, killing the soldiers on them.
However, Dai Viet's catapults were not close to the city wall, and the rain of arrows falling from the air could not reach them at all.
Nicebi was so angry that he screamed and asked people to bring a heavy crossbow, so that he could shoot the opponent's slinger to death.
When several heavy crossbows were lifted onto the city wall, Dai Viet noticed it.
Dai Viet’s heavy crossbows were also brought up, but Dai Viet only had a few heavy crossbows.
Fortunately, there was still the two crossbows that were used to shoot the second prince last time.
Qiao Ran picked up the bow, pulled the string to its full extent, and let go.
"call out!"
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was terrifying.
"puff!"
The arrow hit a shield and the tip of the arrow almost hit Nisbi's face.
Nisbi was shocked that the arrow could penetrate the shield. The power was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He quickly gathered a few more shieldmen to protect himself.
The two layers of shields only allowed him to expose a pair of eyes to observe the situation of his opponent.
Qiao Ran put down the two stone bows in his hands.
Although these two crossbows have good accuracy, they are still not powerful enough.
She looked at the three-bow crossbow that had injured Nisby last time.
This triple-bow crossbow requires three people to pull the string, and its power is unmatched by ordinary crossbows.
