Chapter 724 Siege
A pair of people and horses walked in the desert, leaving layers of footprints, very deep.

Probably because of the armor on his body, every step he took was heavy.

But there was no sound, except for the rustling footsteps.

"Stop." The person walking in the front issued a low order, but the entire army stopped.

The leader looked at Liancheng who was looming in front of him under the moonlight, fell silent for a moment, and waved his hand.

The people of the army suddenly rushed forward from different directions like scattered streams.

If someone can look down from the top, they will see black lines approaching the direction of Liancheng, in a bounding and encircling trend.

Candles were lit in Shao Qi's camp, and he stood in front of the map with his hands folded.

Wang Ling walked in with heavy steps.

"General, you said that they are most likely to attack tonight, and my subordinates have already arranged defenses, so they won't let their surprise attack succeed."

"Well, it must be soon."

Shao Qi turned around, his face was obscured by the candlelight.

As soon as the words were finished, an arrow whistle sounded through the air, extremely sharp, and it seemed so piercing in the quiet night.

"Here we come!" Wang Ling's complexion changed, he hurried out and stood on the city wall.

The moonlight silvered the boundless desert. Under the silver light like water, dense black spots gathered under the city, which made one's scalp numb.

After an alarm sounded, Liancheng quickly entered a state of preparation for battle. Torches were lit everywhere, and archers were on standby on the city wall.

With a "boom", the city gate was hit hard.

Wang Ling looked calm, and ordered: "Throw a flint!"

"Yes!" A reply sounded, and soon there was a sound of piercing through the air, and flaming boulders smashed towards the black dot with the momentum of thunder.

The command of the black army immediately changed tactics, spread out, and rushed to both sides.

The flint hit the ground with a huge roar, bringing up waves of sand and dust.

The flames were blazing, and the originally dark night sky quickly turned into daylight, making the enemy army clearly exposed.

The purpose of flint is not to hit people, but to illuminate.

Apparently it works great.

The archers reacted quickly, and thousands of arrows shot down from the city wall. Soon the black army lost part of it and fell to the ground like ants.

With a wave of the commander's hand, the person in charge of extinguishing the flint finally extinguished the fire at this moment, and the originally bright night fell into darkness again, and because of the previous experience of brightness, the darkness at this moment appeared even darker.

Rusuo's army lost part of it and resumed its counterattack.

Taking advantage of the temporary blind spot of Shao's army's line of sight, they immediately shot countless arrows at the city wall, and at the same time, some of them deployed siege vehicles under the city wall.

Wang Ling swung his sword to block a few incoming arrows, and his eyes were fixed on the bottom.

The purpose of their archery is also not to hurt people, because the city wall is too high, and the arrows will be powerless after flying up, and they will not be able to pierce the armor of the soldiers.

Just to block the view, for a moment.

After the arrows were blocked, the siege vehicle was almost assembled.

Wang Ling shouted: "The second team of archers is ready!"

Immediately, the first wave of archers retreated, another wave took up their position, and shot arrows with gunpowder at the siege vehicles, and then quickly replaced them, and another wave fired arrows with flames.

Crackling explosions sounded below the city, and the soldiers entering the shuttle were shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
