Chapter 421: Fan will be afraid

Dozens of cloud carts taller than the city wall of Jiangxian County leaned towards the city wall step by step, and the defenders on the city wall had never seen such a behemoth, and they were all so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Even the brigade commander in charge of the command on the city wall forgot to give the order to prepare for a counterattack, and finally one of the soldiers shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Hugou is attacking the city, Hugou is attacking the city!"

At this point, all the people woke up like a dream, clenched the horizontal knives in their hands one by one, and waited for the Hugou to counterattack when they climbed the city.

Ordinary soldiers have hardly been on the battlefield, and have rarely seen large siege equipment, the brigade leader came from a family, has read a lot of military books, and recognized the modified cloud car at a glance. The chariot is reinforced with thick wooden planks on the top and bottom to protect the soldiers hiding behind, and as long as the body fits the city wall, the wooden planks blocking the exit to the city wall will be opened from the inside, and the soldiers hiding behind can stay on the city wall. And there is a ladder in the body that leads directly to the ground, and the soldiers who rush to the city wall behind the cloud cart can continue to walk up the city wall through the ladder, and the ladder is protected by wooden planks all around, and the vast majority of the attacks of the defenders on the city will not have any effect on it.

"Quick, prepare the oil quickly!"

The brigade knew that the only way to deal with such a large siege vehicle would be to burn it with fierce fire oil, and that it would cause a raging fire to prevent the enemy soldiers from climbing the city wall through the ladders inside. While arranging a counterattack, he hurriedly sent someone to the office to inform Qin Jin that the rebels had indeed attacked the city.

"Brigade rate, didn't we just equip the thunderbolt cannon, throw a few of this thing in, it will definitely blow it to pieces!"

There were people around the brigade who also knew this kind of siege vehicle, so they reminded them to use thunderbolts to fire back. It suddenly dawned on the brigade that he was not familiar with this new equipment, and he couldn't even think of it for a while. But after being reminded, he immediately realized that this thunderbolt, which could explode in an instant and tear everything around it, was not the right weapon against such a wooden siege vehicle?

"Quick, quick, get the newly issued Thunderbolts out, all of them. ”

This kind of thunderbolt was only said to be fired with stone cannons and bed crossbows to hit the enemy at a distance, and when they heard the order of the brigade commander, someone immediately pushed the bed crossbow and prepared to fire the thunderbolt with the bed crossbow.

Seeing this, the brigade commander scolded: "The thunderbolt cannon is not for bed crossbows, bed crossbows are loaded with arrows, aim at those wooden carts, and smash them all to smithereens!"

The power of the bed crossbow is huge, and although it is extremely accurate when shooting at a specific target, if it hits, it will inevitably shatter and fall apart.

The winches of the four bed crossbows were quickly rotated under the neat and skillful operation of the soldiers, the tightly curled bowstrings were hung on the brackets, and the arrows with the thickness of the forearms were also put into the crossbow grooves at the same time, and all the preparations were completed in one go.

"Put!"

The four soldiers who operated the bed crossbow machine pulled down the bracket, the tight bowstring lost its restraint, and rebounded violently with the momentum of splitting the mountain, and the arrow body was driven by the bowstring and shot out directly, shooting straight at the huge siege team. The four crossbow arrows with a forearm thickness of more than one person were all shot into the air, but two of them smashed into the Yan army, and immediately brought two waves of blood, breaking tendons and breaking where they passed, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

The power of the bed crossbow is so great, everyone who sees it is shocking!

"Get ready for the arrow!"

The upper wound of the bed crossbow is driven by a winch, unlike the divine arm crossbow that is pulled apart by arm strength and waist strength, the crossbowman will be exhausted after seven openings, and it is difficult to open the bow, theoretically as long as the arrow body is sufficient, it can be fired infinitely. Soon, four arm-thick crossbow bolts were wound again.

"Put!"

Four huge crossbow arrows brought a terrifying gust of air......

"Hit, hit!"

There were bursts of cheers on the city walls, and a crossbow arrow happened to hit a cloud cart, and the reinforced wooden planks around it shattered like thin ice, and the flying debris was faintly mixed with human flesh and bones.

However, the bed crossbow was never shot again after this shot, and the anxious bed crossbowman was covered in sweat, but there was nothing to be done, the thing itself was not accurate, and the arrow was shot, and it was all up to luck.

"The envoy is here, the envoy Qin is here!"

When someone cheered quietly, Qin Jin climbed the city wall in full iron armor, and when he saw the extremely spectacular siege vehicle team outside, even if he had already received the report, he still jumped. Speaking of which, it was the first time he had seen such a dense siege vehicle siege city! However, with the weapon in hand, Qin Jin was still very down-to-earth in his heart, and the thunderbolt cannon was simply tailor-made for this big guy.

Qin Jin glanced at the city wall, and the fierce fire oil and thunderbolt cannons were all moved out and piled up in the corridor of the city wall, and he knew that the brigade in charge of the command still had some insight and ability.

"As soon as the cloud chariot gets close to the city wall, you set this thing on fire and throw it inside, do you understand?"

"I understand, our brigade rate has already been explained......"

A soldier's answer was extremely realistic, but the brigade leader's face was a little unbearable, whether in the officialdom or in the army, stealing the limelight of the official is definitely a taboo among the taboos. Lu Yu's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to explain it to Qin Jin, he always felt that explaining it was equivalent to getting darker and darker.

Qin Jin didn't care about the outspoken soldier, and casually praised:

"Very well, the leader of the army should be so assertive!"

After saying a few words, Qin Jin found that the atmosphere on the city wall was a little strange, as if everyone was uncomfortable here. He gave a few words of encouragement and turned to go down to the city. Most of these defenders in the city came from the rear army of the Shenwu Army, and they had little contact with Qin Jin, and Qin Jin was no different from the gods to them, so there would be all kinds of tension.

After Qin Jin went down to the city, the brigade leader immediately shouted loudly to make everyone pay full attention, and the fierce battle was about to begin.

……

Cai Xide touched the bandaged wound on his head, and there is still pus and blood faintly oozing out, he personally participated in the attack on the city last night, but when it came to the end, the tunnel where he was collapsed, and he and his entourage should not be killed, only the entrance to the city was blocked by the collapsed earth and stones, and immediately withdrew from the tunnel after discovering the danger, and finally was not buried under the city wall, otherwise it is really called heaven and earth not to work.

As soon as he remembered the bad thing the night before, Cai Xide felt a faint pain in his chest, and he didn't know if it was smashed by earth and rocks, or he was sulking, and he always felt that he had been unlucky since he met Qin Jin.

The sneak attack failed, so he had to turn to a strong attack, looking at the newly built cloud car, Cai Xide was quite confident, until now, there is no effective way to deal with this large equipment. Of course, splashing fierce fire oil to ignite is also a method, but fire oil also has the disadvantage of fire oil, this thing burns slowly, if the cloud car is burned to the extent that it is difficult to get on people, it will take at least half an hour.

Half an hour had passed, and his soldiers had already climbed the city wall with thousands of them, and that was enough.

Cai Xide lazily leaned on the rattan chair, because of the injuries on his body, he simply did not have a helmet to ride a horse today, and only appeared in front of the army in a civilian robe.

He believed that there would definitely be casualties in today's siege battle, but the victory would definitely be his own, so his mind was extremely relaxed.

When Tang Jun's bed crossbow arrow hit a cloud car, Cai Xide's adjutant general entourage around him let out bursts of exclamations, but he himself was very calm, the bed crossbow was extremely poor, and he was afraid that the arrow he shot was the first and last arrow. The follow-up development was as Cai Xide expected, Tang Jun's bed crossbow really missed the arrow, although it was inevitable that there would be a wave of blood when it fell into the crowd, but it was better than smashing the cloud car that took time and effort to build.

Cai Xide narrowed his eyes, trying to see clearly the situation in Jiangxian County at the moment, although it was vague, he could almost feel the panic and helplessness in the city.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the ** pear flower spear, this thing made him suffer two losses in a row at the western foot of the Hugao Mountain, this siege battle, Qin Jin will not make some terrifying things again, right? Soon, he denied this idea, and comforted himself, Qin Jin does not have three heads and six arms, it is impossible to always surprise.

With a clang, more than 20 cloud cars clinged to the city wall one after another. Dealing with a small city like Jiangxian County, which has no moat and only a shallow and narrow trench, Yunche is simply invincible. Cai Xide secretly thought that the cloud car sticking to the city wall was equivalent to announcing the change of ownership of the county seat.

The Tang army did win battles, but only with the sharp weapons of the fortified city, and the hand-to-hand combat in the city was the strength of the Yan army, and he asked himself if he would not leave any chance for Qin Jin and his Shenwu army this time.

The Yan soldiers in the Yunche Hidden Soldier Cave rushed onto the city wall of Jiangxian County, and the melee started immediately in the next moment, and suddenly one of the Yunche exploded without warning, and there was a faint flash of fire in the middle, followed by a thick white disgust.

Suddenly seeing the white smoke, Cai Xide immediately thought of the unpleasant past of being teased under the high mountain, and his originally sunny face instantly became cloudy, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose.

Sure enough, sure enough, Qin Jin still made a moth, what the hell is this white smoke, there must be no good thing when he sees it.

Almost at the same time, the idea of withdrawing troops actually flashed in Cai Xide's mind, but this thought made him feel an unprecedented sense of shame, and he was afraid, afraid of the little vertical surnamed Qin. However, how can such a humiliating inner thought be told to others? Now that the war has been fought so far, he has withdrawn his troops in a vague way, and he has not even been able to explain to his own subordinates.

is just a blink of an eye, and Cai Xide has turned from being determined to be on pins and needles.

The follow-up development was also like his ominous premonition, and all the more than two dozen cloud cars exploded after a loud bang, and then bursts of white smoke rose up, and as all the cloud cars were burned, it meant that the plan to attack was completely defeated.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Cai Xide almost thought that he had heard it wrong, he rubbed his ears and finally figured out that he had heard it correctly, it was indeed an enemy attack!

"Where is the enemy attacking?"

"South, there is a large force of Tang troops in the south sneak attack, and suddenly our army is caught off guard......"
