Tibet

Chapter 146
The battle to attack the suspension bridge was still going on. Although the commander of the centurion, Adielie, was killed in battle, another centurion assumed the command responsibility.

A row of shelves was built with wood at the bottom of the suspension bridge, and several soldiers stood on the shelves and chopped the suspension bridge with axes.

The suspension bridge is nailed together with dozens of thigh-thick woods, and then covered with iron sheets. The two iron chains, but the position is too high, it is difficult to start.

The Tongluo rebels chose the former, as long as a few pieces of wood were cut off, the suspension bridge would be destroyed.

Three soldiers slashed hard, with the suspension bridge above their heads, which could block the arrows, and there were dozens of soldiers around them holding shields and spears for protection.

Fire Chief Yang Li pointed to the drawbridge and said, "The team is upright. The enemy must want to destroy the drawbridge, and then hit the city gate with a battering ram."

Of course Li Ye knew the enemy's intentions, no matter what, he must not give the enemy a chance to attack the city.

Li Ye quickly inspected the enemy's situation. It is said that there are three enemy soldiers under the suspension bridge. They can't see them, but they can hear the sound of chopping wood. There are more than [-] soldiers around, holding spears and shields. The main force of the enemy army is about three A hundred paces away.

Li Ye looked down at the city wall again. The city wall was very old and many bricks were broken. He jumped up and climbed down the city wall quickly, like an ape. The soldiers and civilians on the top of the city were stunned.

Arriving at the foot of the city, Li Ye saw three people who were chopping wood under the suspension bridge at a glance. Li Ye immediately drew out three arrows, biting two arrows in his mouth, stretched the bow string, and the three arrows shot away like shooting stars chasing the moon.

He had to shoot and kill three people in the shortest possible time, otherwise the soldiers next to him would use shields to protect them, making it difficult to shoot again. His chance was only for a split second.

The leading soldier had just raised his big ax when he was shot through the neck by an arrow and fell into the water.

The other two Tongluo soldiers turned their heads instinctively, and shot two arrows in front of them, "Puff! Puff!" The two arrows hit their heads, and both of them fell into the river, and the three axes also fell into the moat.

Dozens of soldiers protecting the three of them discovered Li Ye who was a hundred steps away. They all held up their shields and shouted to kill Li Ye.

However, Li Ye took his time and shot his legs. Every time an arrow was shot, a soldier fell to the ground with a broken leg bone.

Fifteen arrows were shot in one breath, and fifteen soldiers were shot down on the ground. Hundreds of soldiers on the top of the city took the opportunity to shoot random arrows. All 15 people who fell on the ground were shot to death. The remaining seven or eight people ran wildly for their lives, but in the end only three of them escaped back to the army formation.

In this battle, Li Ye has completely established a lofty prestige among everyone.

The first round of attack was over, and more than 170 soldiers were killed by the Tongluo rebels. Young Albus found that the human ladder also had a siege effect, so he decided to launch another round of human ladder attack at night, and he ordered the army to temporarily retreat three miles away.

Li Ye also seized the opportunity to let the soldiers go out of the city and pack up the enemy's weapons, shields, bows and armors. Except for the corpses, all other military assets were taken back into the city.

In the fierce fighting during the day, nearly 200 civilians in the city were killed or injured, and the county magistrate will handle the funeral.

What Li Ye was concerned about was at night. The opponent was a guerrilla army, and he didn't bring any tent supplies, but only some dry food with him, which could only last for two to three days at most. How could the opponent miss the opportunity to attack at night?
Li Ye summoned several leaders to discuss the defense at night, and Yang Kan said worriedly: "The folks basically don't know how to use bows and arrows. They didn't become a little more proficient until the end. The humble staff felt that they should reorganize their teams and gather those who can shoot bows and arrows. Those who can’t shoot bows and arrows can gather tall and strong ones to use spears and put them on armor, and then the women are responsible for carrying and taking care of the wounded soldiers, as well as preparing meals, they are really not suitable for direct combat.”

Li Ye nodded, "Team Yang is right. We were too short on time before and didn't subdivide it. Now we really need to subdivide it. We will start subdividing the arms after our discussion is over."

Yu Chiguang also said: "We put too much manpower on other city walls, but the rebels only attacked the northern city, which is a bit of a waste of manpower. I suggest redistribution."

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "It's fine during the day, but at night the opponent may use a sneak attack, so it won't be limited to Beicheng. Let's discuss how to arrange defense tonight."

"Team leader, I feel that if there is a sneak attack at night, the rebels will definitely use the method of stacking human ladders, just like today during the day, the opponent only needs four floors to climb to the top of the city, which is convenient and quick, and poses a great threat to us."

Yang Li is the fire chief of the Seventh Scout Team, and he has rich experience. Li Ye can also see clearly today that the soldiers of the Seventh Team performed very well. They are not the Oxtail Team, they are all elite soldiers. Five hundred civilians withstood the attack of two hundred people from the same Luo Han army.

Li Ye nodded and said: "Yu Chiguang used to be the school captain, and you will be in charge of the defense tonight. I will go to the outside to attack the enemy army, and the cooperation inside and outside will be very effective. When it is critical, launch a rocket to notify me, and then tonight the first team will attack the enemy." Ten brothers from the seventh team led 1000 people to defend the city."

"What about reorganizing the team?" Yang Kan asked anxiously.

Li Ye waved his hand, "We can choose from within each team first, separate the archers and spear soldiers, and then we will regroup after the end of tonight!"

Li Ye said to Yu Chiguang again: "I found that there is a lot of wheat straw in the city, and the rebels built a ladder to throw down a lot of wheat straw and burn it."

Yu Chiguang was overjoyed, "The team is right, the fire will definitely have an effect, so let's prepare for it!"

"Wait a minute!"

Li Ye stopped him again and said: "I will deal with the rebels in Beicheng, and there is no need to burn straw in Beicheng!"

Yu Chiguang knew the team's ability, so he launched a ruthless attack. Even two or three hundred people may not be his opponent.

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Each team is starting to select internally, divide the women out, and then divide the remaining young and strong men into archers and spearmen, and everyone is busy.

With bow and arrow on his back, Li Ye left the city silently with a knife in his hand. It is not yet one o'clock. He sank to the bottom of the Anle River one mile east of the city, and began to practice martial arts at the bottom of the river. He didn't want to stop, even if there was a war. No matter how nervous he is, he has to practice hard.

On the river bank, Zhang Wei, a soldier under his command, stared nervously into the distance, standing guard for Li Ye.

Anle's water was one foot deep, and Li Ye stood at the bottom of the river, completely immersed in another world.

Li Ye could feel the slightest stream of water, which was exceptionally clear. He slashed out with all his might, and the entire river was pulled by him. It was also a strong resistance, but this slash was not as strenuous as before, instead, he slashed out smoothly.

After making eleven cuts in a row, he rushed out of the water to take a breath. Li Ye was also surprised that today's efficiency was so high, almost three times the usual rate.

Could it be that the resistance of Anle Water is not enough?Impossible, he also practiced martial arts in Anle Water two nights ago, but he could only strike four times, but today he managed to score eleven.

Li Ye vaguely thought that this might have something to do with the fierce battle during the day. Could it be that Suzaku's mind is related to the martial battle?
He took another deep breath and sank to the bottom.
