Although Xiang Shenkang felt that Xinhui City was indeed very small, when the sunlight fell on the city, he was standing on top of the city tower, looking at the more than 1,000 soldiers under his command.

"The hearts of the people are united, the mountains can be moved, the hearts of the people are united, the longitudinal wooden walls and bamboo fences are also impregnable, brothers, take up your weapons, sing our military songs, and prepare for battle! He raised his arms and shouted.

"Fight, fight! The soldiers, led by the officers, howled loudly.

"The long sword is directed to the northern territory! Xiang Shenkang exerted all his strength, and with his incomplete voice, he drank out the first army vigorously.

"The remnant sun is like rain, flowing on the journey south! Banner hunting, summoning the war drums of the eastward! The yellow sand is long, and it can't stop the footsteps of the westward expedition! ＂

The battle cry sounded, and the soldiers stepped on the top of the city, approached the battlements, raised their swords and guns, and drew their crossbows.

In the midst of the battle cry, the soldiers under the city brought piles of earth and stones and blocked the city gates.

Amid the battle song, they stared murderously at the Qi team that was approaching from a distance.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Tian Jingwen's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the morale of the Eastern Army at the head of the city with some puzzlement, a team of more than 1,000 people guarding such a small city, about to face the attack of tens of thousands of people, and behind him, more Qi troops are swarming in, why are they not trembling but so excited?

But no matter what kind of attitude the opponent is, in his eyes, it is no different, because when his attack order is given. The city would fall in front of his army.

Seeing the tall siege trucks being pushed in front of the military formation, the rushing trucks were also in place, and in the rear, the soldiers were carrying the ladders, ready to go. The archers held their bows in one hand, and the arrows were already on the bowstring, and he smiled with satisfaction, this is the Qi army, although the sharp blade of the sword has not been unsheathed for many years, as long as it is pulled out of the scabbard. It is bound to shock the world, whether it is the Yan Kingdom or the Eastern Army, it is just a testing stone for them.

"Attack! "Raise your right hand and fall heavily.

Rows of cowhide drums are beating. In the sound of drums, the Qi army shouted, under each siege vehicle, there were hundreds of soldiers pushing forward slowly, on the platform on the roof of the car, set up bed crossbows and dozens of archers, they will be responsible for suppressing the enemy troops in the city, in front of the siege vehicle, is a city covered with cowhides. The structure of the storm car is simple, and the two sides of the slope are oblique downward, which can unload the damage caused by the rolling stones and wood on the city as much as possible. Soldiers can be hidden under the car, and at the front of the car, sharpened wooden logs can face the city wall, which is the Qi soldiers carrying ladders.

Compared with the indiscriminate siege of the Donghu people, the siege rhythm and echelon of the Qi people are extremely clear.

It was about 400 paces from the city. The siege engine stopped, and the bed crossbow it carried began to whizz towards the city. With the roar of the bed crossbow, the attacking soldiers under the city suddenly quickened their pace.

"Concentrate our bed crossbows. Knock out those siege engines one by one! Xiang Shenkang looked at the battlefield calmly, these siege vehicles had the greatest impact on the soldiers on the city, every round of the bed crossbow, the siege vehicles would get closer to the city wall, if it was close to within 100 steps, the archers on the siege vehicles could suppress the city wall, and the Qi people would put fifty siege vehicles into the siege at a time, if these siege vehicles were approached to within 100 steps, the condescending advantage of the city would be lost, and the siege vehicles would be almost level with the short city wall of Xinhui City.

There are ten bed crossbows in Xinhui City, but they are not fixed bed crossbows in the team, but the kind of mobile batteries that are mounted on a flatbed cart and can be pushed by several soldiers.

The ten bed crossbows were concentrated at a very short distance, and a senior crossbowmaster lay between the battlements, carefully measured the distance and bearing, turned around, whispered a few words to his companions, and the ten crossbowmen immediately began to adjust the angle.

"Ready! ＂

"Put! ＂

With a snap, ten bed crossbows shot out almost simultaneously.

Six hit the target, four went empty, but even if there were only six, the huge destructive power of the bed crossbow was still visible, above the city, the Eastern Army was not shooting at the enemy on the siege vehicle, a siege vehicle that was intensively attacked collapsed almost instantly, in the rumbling sound, the bed crossbow and the archers on it screamed and fell from above, a distance of more than ten meters fell or not fatal, but with these scattered wood and heavy bed crossbows fell, it was not fun, on the siege vehicle, The moment a crossbow commander of the Qi army fell, he actually held the bed crossbow in a hurry, and when he landed, the bed crossbow smashed heavily on his lower body, under his waist, and was smashed to a mess, and he couldn't die for a while, and the terrible screams resounded through the battlefield.

This blow not only surprised the nearby siege vehicles, but even Tian Jingwen in the distance was also startled, how could there be such a dense bed crossbow shooting, could it be that there were so many bed crossbows in Xinhui City? He looked at the long wall and was a little suspicious.

The screams of the soldier in front of him had been interrupted, and it was clear that a companion had helped him end his pain, which was a common practice on the battlefield, and once he was seriously injured, it was the most painful thing to do to help him finish.

Ten bed crossbows finished firing this round, but they ran away with a flatbed cart, moved to the other side of the wall, and once again aimed at another siege engine.

The loss of a siege vehicle obviously could not dispel the fighting spirit of the Qi army, and now there are fifty units moving slowly towards the city wall, but this attack has obviously accelerated the pace of the Qi army under the city.

"Crossbow! With a roar to Shen Kang, the arm crossbow began to shoot.

This attack was obviously far less earth-shattering than the salvo of the bed crossbow, the Qi army carried the ladder, the team was scattered and extremely open, and more of their infantry were hidden under the storming cart, and the cowhide and thick wooden planks on the storming cart were enough to block the shot of the crossbow.

Staring at the Qi army approaching quickly under the city, Xiang Shenkang's brows furrowed deeply, the arm-open crossbow that the Eastern Army once relied on to attack the enemy on a large scale, in front of these enemies, it was obvious that the attack effect was not great.

"Stop shooting, I don't believe you're not coming out of these turtle shells! He scolded fiercely, "Prepare rolling stones, rolling wood, and fire oil!" Wait for those siege engines to approach and greet them fiercely."

The rumbling sound is continuous, and above the city, the bed crossbow efficiently puts down a siege vehicle, and the tactics of shooting a round and running away make the Qi army on the siege vehicle always unsure of which direction the other party is, looking at the companions who fell off the high platform, the Qi army on the siege vehicle felt hesitant for the first time, and no one knew whether he was next.

As the siege vehicles fell one by one, under the city wall, the city vehicles were one after another heavy impact on the city wall, the huge impact force, so that the city wall shook up, as soon as it approached the city wall, under the city car, there were soldiers out one by one, these soldiers lost, some pulled bows and arrows, shot upward, and some were holding shovels, hoes, desperately began to dig the bottom of the city wall.

The city walls of this era were basically made of earth, and only some majestic cities would be covered with green bricks or stones, and a small city like Xinhui naturally could not have such treatment.

While they were digging the city, ladders were also built on the city wall at the right time.

"Pack them up! Xiang Shenkang roared.

"Kill! "On the top of the city wall, the soldiers picked up the stones and threw them downward, so that as they threw the stones, the arrows under the city also roared upward, and there were screams almost simultaneously from the city and the city.

There was no temptation at all in the battle between the two sides, and it entered the stage of direct strangulation from the beginning, and this situation occurred mainly because of the contempt of Tian Jingwen, the commander of the Qi army, for Xinhui City, and the general siege succession, before the large-scale siege of the city, began to carry out tentative attacks, gradually find out the weaknesses of the defense on the city wall, and then gather strength to storm its soft threat, but Xinhui Tian Jingwen thought that it was too small, so small that he disdained to use this tactic.

As soon as the drum came down, it was his true thoughts.

A basin of fire oil poured down from the top of the city, accompanied by the fire oil is a rocket, under the city wall, the siege vehicle was knocked down, although the city vehicles rushed to the city, but in a blink of an eye, it was broken up by rolling stones and wood, this thing can block the arrows, but it can't stop these heavy guys, the fire is even more scorching under the city wall, Tian Jingwen looked forward to a drum, but it lasted for half an hour, and then retreated.

Tian Jingwen took the initiative to withdraw his troops, he must be the general of Qi State, as soon as the war started, he showed his mistakes, although the city is small, but there are some people.

Looking at the Qi army that the tide receded, there was a burst of cheers above the city, especially the recruits, when they saw that the enemy was not as terrible as they imagined, their self-confidence suddenly rose to an unprecedented height, only those veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time would understand that this was just an appetize, and the real battle had not yet begun!

Above the castle tower, Xiang Shenkang was singing loudly, and although the five tones were incomplete, the soldiers were jumping and cheering for their commander.

"I am a copper pea that cannot be steamed, boiled through, smashed or chewed! Who taught you to drill into my hoe constantly, can't cut it, can't untie it, can't take it off, and can't take off the slow and soaring mille-feuille brocade sleeve" (to be continued)
