Tian Chou said: "Lord, our army does not have weapons to attack the city. If the Tartars defend the city, our army will have to attack the city. In that case, the casualties of our soldiers will be greatly affected. It's better to wait until some siege equipment is made before attacking."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, our army can easily capture Shanggu City without siege equipment. Why not ask for any siege equipment in the small Shanggu City? At that time, I will ask five thousand soldiers to cover and shoot with crossbows. There will be no one on the city wall. Our army cut down a big tree to attack the city gate. As long as the enemy on the city wall shows up, the crossbow archers will immediately shoot, and our army can easily capture Shanggu, and there will be no casualties."

In the afternoon, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, sent someone to tell Lu Ning that it was three months of food and soldiers' military posts that were ready. It was on the way and it was probably delayed to arrive for two days, so Lu Ning would be forgiven.

Lu Ning told the people sent by Liu Yu that he could be forgiven this time. If such an incident occurs next time, it will be subject to military law.

You go back and explain it to Lord Liu Yu, and ask him to prepare the food and money for three months as soon as possible, hoping that I would not let my troops threaten Youzhou Prefecture. If he would not be able to send food and grass, I, Lu Ning, will lead a large army to his Lord Liu's house to eat and drink.

Two days later, Lu Ning and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led a 15,000 flying bear army to kill Shanggu, and cleared out various towns along the way. Before reaching Shanggu, Lu Ning said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, once the Xianbei Tartars in Shanggu were captured by our army, they only have two directions to escape, one is the north and the other is the east, but the east is easily pursued by our army. The Tartars may not have the courage to take risks. I guess the Tartars will still choose to flee north. When Ziman breaks through Shanggu City, he will lead the army to chase north for a while. You lead the 5,000 flying bear army to choose a place to ambush in the mountains and forests in the north. When the Tartars are out of breath, you lead the 5,000 flying bear army to attack and solve the problem at one time. Even if the Tartars escape from many iron cavalry, and at this time it is a tired army, you should be able to handle it. Zilong will secretly lead the army to set off tonight."

After hearing this, Zhao Yunlong said, "Okay, brother, I'll be ready now."

When Lu Ning and Dian Wei led an army of 10,000 to Shanggu City, they saw the Xianbei Tartars standing on the city wall to defend. Lu Ning smiled and said, "Ziman, let the archer and rider line up."

Each of Lu Ning's Flying Bear Army soldiers can use a strong bow, which is considered when recruiting soldiers. Moreover, most of them are hunters and are good archers themselves, so the soldiers of Lu Ning are equipped with strong compound bows, and there are also five thousand iron cavalry equipped with strong crossbows, which is impossible in other armies.

With the order, nearly 10,000 special long arrows were shot at the city wall. At this time, the Xianbei Tartars were still preparing stones, rolling wood, and crossbowmen were also preparing to shoot against the Lu Ning army. How could they have thought that someone would shoot arrows so far away, and they could even shoot. Suddenly, a large area of ​​casualties were killed and injured on the city wall.

‘Not good!’ The Tartars were shocked. They just saw Lu Ning’s archers coming out of the formation. They thought the other party was going to get close to shoot arrows, so the Xianbei Tartars on the city wall took the lead before they could dodge.

‘Wooden shield! Quick!’ A Tartar general shouted, “The Tartars can make iron shields, and it requires a lot of iron. They can’t do it at all, so they use wooden shields instead.

The wooden shield player immediately rushed forward, blocking the Tartar soldiers who did not hold the wooden shield, and lifted the wooden shield. The Tartars were originally preparing for the possible hand-to-hand combat on the city wall. In order to maintain their physical strength, they stayed on the other side of the city wall and did not participate in physical labor. However, this saved many Tartars' lives.

In fact, even if there are many archers in the enemy, they generally do not pose such a great threat to the city, because ordinary archers cannot shoot so far and so accurately. Moreover, in the battle of siege, bows and arrows have always been the top priority. Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city spared no effort to defend against bows and arrows. However, the combined strong archers of the Lu Ning army are different. Their bow feet are strong and the range is long. It seems that they can shoot more far, but in fact they have already achieved qualitative changes. They basically broke the siege rules at that time. Moreover, they only need to shoot and can only shoot a cover-type shooting. The enemy has no way to hide, so why don’t they get arrows?

‘Well!’ When Lu Ning saw the Xianbei Tartars using wooden shields, he knew that the Tartars had made serious preparations in order to defend Shanggu City. Lu Ning hummed softly, ‘Strong crossbow cavalry, go to fight!’

The strong archers immediately retreated, while another more than 3,000 powerful crossbows came out and walked forward. When they were about 300 steps away from the city wall, they stopped and raised the powerful crossbows in their hands.

'put!'

‘Swoosh, swoosh’ Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot towards the city walls continuously with howling sounds.

‘Let’s go down!’ The Xianbei Tartar general shouted loudly, and the Tartar general keenly realized the power of these crossbow arrows. ‘Puff!’ The powerful crossbow penetrated the wooden shield and penetrated the bodies of the Xianbei Tartars, and another scream rang out from the city wall.

However, this time the Tartar general reacted quickly. When the Xianbei Tartars under him heard the order, they lay down. Only a few slow-responsive guys were penetrated by Lu Ningjun.

‘So amazing!’ The Tartar general didn’t dare to stand up now. ‘What kind of bow is this? It can shoot so far and so vigorously! Even the most capable shooter can’t shoot so hard!’ This was just such two waves of arrow rain that made the Xianbei Tartars in Shanggu City go away 20% of their troops.

‘General, what should I do?’ The Tartar general’s personal soldiers were very lucky. They didn’t even hurt a single Mao, but they were already scared and panicked.

The Tartar General thought for a while, then looked up and secretly looked outside the city. Seeing that Lu Ningjun had not planned to attack the city, he felt a little calmer, "Immediately send someone to take all the door panels, bed boards, and leather tabs in the city to block the city wall and block the Big Bear Army's view."

‘Yes!’ The personal soldiers of the Tatar General took the order and left. Of course, he left with a wooden shield. There was no way out! Soon, the "door panel" that the Tatar General needed had arrived, and suddenly, the wall of Shanggu rose higher again.

'Lord, look, look.' Dian Wei pointed to the city and smiled and said, "Isn't the Xianbei Tartars clearly afraid of us? They can use powerful crossbows and cavalry to suppress the enemy on the city, and we can hit the city gate."

Lu Ning ordered loudly: "Prepare to hit the wood."

Soon, the bumped wood was lifted to the front of the formation.

Lu Ning said: "The powerful crossbows and cavalry used strong crossbows to suppress them, and the rest attacked the city gate with all their might, and knocked it open for me!"
