There are spots of fire on the city, and figures can be seen shaking. Arrows are still coming, but they are much sparser than during the day.

Obviously, the Qing army did not want to waste arrows. Dong Xueli, Mu Shenghui and others also knew that it was only the preparation stage for the siege and there was no need to use all their strength.

What's more, at night, when the light is dim and the distance is long, it becomes very difficult to kill a large number of enemies.

Mu Shenghui was fully equipped with armor and was personally patrolling the city defenses. Looking at the rolling logs and stones piled up on the city, as well as the large number of thunderbolts and heavy artillery, he showed a satisfied smile.

When the enemy begins to attack the city, the dense formation will flow into rivers of blood under the fierce attack of various weapons. The layered firepower projected from far to near will cause the enemy to pay heavy casualties.

Holding on to the crenel, looking at the sparse fires outside the city and the shadowy figures, Mu Shenghui pursed his lips slightly, his face covered with light streaks.

At this time, Huang Li and others had quietly approached the moat, hid behind a sandbag wall, and peered towards the city wall.

"The width of the moat, plus the range of plum blossom piles under the city, is about 120 to 30 meters." Huang Li narrowed his eyes and estimated, "Although bows and arrows are within reach, if you want to shoot accurately, there should not be that many in the Qing army.

Master."

Similarly, this distance of more than 100 meters will also become an obstacle for the Ming army to quickly attack the city during the charge after breaking the city.

"Increase the amount of explosives, and the collapsed city wall will bury the plum blossom piles, right?" Huang Li observed and analyzed, one plan after another flashing through his mind.

"There is also a moat. If the water is drained and then filled completely, the amount of work will be too large and the time will be delayed. But we need to fill in a few channels, or fill in the soil to narrow the moat, and use ladders and long wooden boards to build bridges...

…”

Huang Li didn't just want to kill a few Qing soldiers and get his first blood. He also wanted to ensure that after the tunnel was blasted, the Ming army could quickly break into the city and not waste this rare opportunity.

For the Ming army, there may be only one chance. Tunnel blasting cannot be successful casually. Regardless of time or the gunpowder he carries, Huang Li will strive to ensure that everything is foolproof.

After finishing his thinking, Huang Li obtained first-hand information that was difficult to obtain from distant observation. The effect of close reconnaissance is obvious, even if no gains are made, it is still worth it.

Next, it’s time to use the magic shot to get first blood, double kill, and triple kill.

Huang Li picked up the bow and arrow, hesitated slightly, and replaced it with a light arrow.

The arrow has snake venom, five steps or seven steps, anyway, it sounds very powerful. With the blessing of snake venom, the lethality of the arrow can be put secondly, and the damage to the enemy is not focused on.

Under the gazes of Li Yue and others, Huang Li slowly drew his bow and aimed toward the city. His eyes narrowed, and the scene flashed in his mind like a fast-forward movie.

The bow was like a full moon, but Huang Li did not release the arrow. He adjusted slightly, concentrated on it, and finally let go, shooting the first murderous arrow in his life.

Although it does not require too much power, such as armor-piercing, Huang Li still pursues maximum damage, even if it is a light arrow, he will shoot it at the vital points of the Qing army.

A Qing soldier was leaning towards the crenel to look around, when a sudden sharp arrow cut through the dim night, as if it had eyes, and hit him right in the face.

He screamed, clutching his wound and fell down, writhing in pain on the ground, blood oozing out from between his fingers.

The screams caused chaos among the Qing troops on the city. This was the first casualty since the war began. Relying on the high city and the vast pool, the Qing troops always believed that they would not be counterattacked.

The Ming army had no artillery. This was something the Qing army already knew. As for the archers, if they could shoot up the city wall from a distance of more than 100 meters, even if they could avoid the cover of the battlements, how much power would they have and how accurate would they be?

But it's different when you're standing high. Bows and arrows can shoot farther, and the gravity of the arrow when it falls can also cause damage to unarmored civilians and soldiers.

"Get the first blood!" Huang Li exhaled gently and found that he was not too excited, nor did he feel any psychological discomfort.

"Perhaps only face-to-face fighting, with white knives going in and red knives coming out, blood and flesh splattering, screams, extremely bloody and cruel, can it be the real test?"

He calmed down a little and saw the admiring eyes of Li Yue and others. They also heard the screams of the Qing soldiers.

"This is war, this is the army. The more enemies you kill, the more you can demonstrate your bravery and force, and get the admiration and cheers of everyone without having to accept any punishment."

Huang Li pursed his lips, feeling quite complicated. But he still drew his bow again in the shadows, half-hidden from behind the chariot, and aimed towards the city.

Second kill! Huang Li's mood became calmer, he moved his position in parallel and stopped twenty or thirty meters away.

Three kills! This arrow actually killed a small officer directly, causing a commotion in the city.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Huang's shooting skills are so superb. He is simply amazing, and his arrows are all shot." Yuan Dongbao's innocent face showed excitement and excitement. Those who didn't know it thought he was shooting the enemy.<

/p>

Li Yue opened his mouth, wanting to show off that Mr. Huang's archery skills were taught by him. He also gave him the hard bow and iron arrows. But after thinking about it, he couldn't say it in front of Mr. Huang, so he closed it again.

Mouth.

Liu Xiang's eyes shone with light, and he was so excited by the third prince's bravery that it made people feel like they were filled with tears.

The Qing troops on the city cursed loudly, looking for the archer hiding in the dark, and fired arrows outwards like they were venting their anger.

This gave Huang Li more opportunities, but he did not fire arrows easily again, but observed calmly.

Mu Shenghui, the commander-in-chief of Yunyang, was also alerted and rushed to the scene. Looking at the two corpses and one wounded person, he frowned.

Both corpses were hit by arrows. One was shot through the eye, and the other was inserted straight into the throat. The one who was hit died immediately.

The other injured person was screaming in pain. The snake venom caused severe pain, and the hemolysin caused the wound to bleed.

"Sir, this arrow seems to be poisonous." The military doctor could not make an accurate judgment and could only make guesses and report to the commander.

"The thieves are really insidious!" Mu Shenghui cursed through gritted teeth and retracted the hand that was about to catch the arrow and examine it carefully, as if it had been burned.

No matter what kind of poison it is, there is no point in pursuing this.

Mu Shenghui turned to an officer and asked, "Have you found this damn archer?"

"Sir, it's dark at night and it's difficult to find the exact location of the enemy."

The officer bowed and reported: "The general thinks that the enemy's arrows are accurate and there is cover of night. It is better for the soldiers to be careful and not to expose their bodies easily to find the enemy."

Mu Shenghui raised his head and looked outside the city, only to see more than a dozen fires flickering. In the light, there were figures, the sound of cars rolling, and the sound of sandbags and stones falling into the water.Chapter completed!
