Chapter 1348 Charge

Will there be reinforcements?

Of course there will be!

In fact, their reinforcements have already arrived and are now in the palace, and they are still coming in a steady stream.

However, because Wu Fan and Wu Ya deliberately kept this secret and did not allow anyone to leak the news, except for those in the palace, no one else in Fengyu City, including Chen Wende, knew about this situation.

That is why Chen Wende asked this question.

"Of course there will be." Wu Fan said, "Not only will there be reinforcements, but the number and strength of the reinforcements will satisfy you, General Chen."

"Great!" Chen Wende said excitedly. The defenders of the city are most afraid of being trapped without any reinforcements. With reinforcements, there is hope and motivation to fight on.

"However, General Chen must also be prepared for the enemy to have reinforcements." Wu Fan reminded.

"Of course." Chen Wende nodded solemnly.

Both of them understood that Cai Cheng had been in the army for many years, and his direct army could not be just this small. Moreover, Wu Ya's identity was somewhat special. After Cai Cheng rebelled, some people would stand in Cai Cheng's camp and support Cai Cheng.

Therefore, the enemies that Fengyu City had to face could not be only the 200,000 people in front of them.

Dongdongdong!

Dongdongdong!

......

While the two were chatting, a series of dull drum sounds came from outside the city. Although the person beating the drum was far away from the top of the city, the drum sound still reached the ears of everyone on the top of the city and rang in everyone's heart, making the already depressing atmosphere on the top of the city even more suffocating.

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

......

After the drum sounded, the rebels who were originally lined up in neat rows roared, and then charged towards the top of the city.

The formation was disrupted, but the momentum was stronger!

"Don't panic! Archers, get ready, wait for my order!"

At Wu Fan's signal, Chen Wende shouted loudly to the soldiers on the top of the city.

The archers bent their bows and put their arrows on, staring at the city. Some of them even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Ready!"

"Shoot!"

Swish, swish, swish!

...

With Chen Wende's order, countless arrows flew out from the top of the city almost at the same time, flying towards the outside of the city.

The top of the city was so big that it was impossible for Chen Wende to issue orders alone. When he issued the order, the generals in other places on the top of the city also issued orders to attack.

Arrows cut through the sky and landed in the crowd charging outside the city. Countless people fell down in an instant. Some of these people were shot to death directly by arrows, and some were just injured and lay on the ground wailing. If they were lucky, they could wait for the battle to end and receive treatment. If they were unlucky, they might be shot again, or trampled to death by friendly troops charging from the rear.

The large number of casualties in an instant did not scare off the army charging outside the city. Even the pace of the charge was not greatly affected. They still had ferocious faces and rushed towards the city wall with full momentum.

"Archers, aim at the top of the city and shoot freely!"

Among the rebels charging outside the city, there was naturally no shortage of archers. After they rushed into the range, they bent their bows and arrows and raised their heads to shoot.

In an instant, a black mass of arrows flew out of the charging crowd and flew towards the top of the city like locusts.

"Shield soldiers, top!" Chen Wende roared.

After the archers on the top of the city shot the second round of arrows, they retreated two steps away from the edge of the city wall. At the same time, the soldiers holding shields came forward, bent their legs slightly, and raised their shields.

Bang bang bang!

The arrows flying from outside the city flew to the top of the city after a rapid flight. A large number of arrows fell on the shields, making a dull sound.

"Sir, it's dangerous here. I'll have someone send you down from the city wall first." Chen Wende swung his sword and cut off an approaching arrow, and said to Wu Fan with a little urgency.

"No need." Wu Fan said lightly: "You go back to your position and continue to command. Don't worry about me. These rebels can't hurt me."

Wu Fan was not talking big. With his current reaction ability and strength, it was not a big problem to avoid these arrows. These arrows may be very threatening to ordinary soldiers, but for Wu Fan, they are just drizzle.

"Sir..."

"Okay, don't worry about me. I can also better observe the situation of the rebels here." Wu Fan said.

Chen Wende saw Wu Fan's firm attitude and didn't say anything. He just left some shield soldiers next to Wu Fan, ready to protect Wu Fan at any time.

While Wu Fan was watching the battle, Cai Cheng outside the city was also watching the battle. Like Wu Fan, Cai Cheng's face was also calm.

As Chen Wende guessed, Cai Cheng did not intend to use the insiders in the city at the beginning. He did have insiders in the city, but these insiders could only be used once, and they would be exposed afterwards. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to use them, but was ready to use them at the critical moment.

For the attack and defense of Fengyu City, Cai Cheng was also prepared to fight a protracted war. He knew very well that Wu Ya was definitely more anxious than him in the face of the siege of Fengyu City. For every day that Fengyu City was besieged, Wu Ya's prestige would decline, and more people would turn to him, Cai Cheng.

Therefore, Cai Cheng was not in a hurry, not at all. He first felt the bottom of the defenders in the city, and finally, at the critical moment, he gave Wu Ya a fatal blow!

"Order the troops to expand the attack range!" Cai Cheng ordered.

"Yes!" The messenger immediately went to convey the order.

Cai Cheng's army had 200,000 soldiers, while the defenders in Fengyu City had only tens of thousands. Dispersing the attacking troops and maintaining the intensity of the attack in more directions would increase the defensive pressure on the defenders in the city. At the same time, it would also allow the attacking troops to fully exert their numerical advantage.

Sure enough, when the attack range of the siege troops expanded, the defenders in the city felt the pressure. Fortunately, Chen Wende's command ability was not weak and his reaction was fast enough. In addition, Wu Fan was there to check for omissions and make up for the shortcomings, so they were not in a hurry.

The charging team continued to charge under the rain of arrows on the top of the city, and soon arrived under the city wall, and then began to climb up the top of the city along the ladder.

"Pour hot oil!"

"Throw stones!"

......

The defense facilities on the walls of Fengyu City are very complete. There is no shortage of hot oil, stones, rolling logs and other city defense weapons. Under Chen Wende's command, they poured down from the top of the city.

The rebel soldiers who were charging in the front were hit hard. One after another, they fell from the ladders and screamed.

However, this still did not stop the rebels. They continued to climb towards the top of the city, wanting to be the first to climb to the top of the city.
