Chapter 946: The Siege Begins

The scout search of 3,000 people will move no matter how hidden it is, and the secret sentinels who are ambushed at the entrances and exits of each hidden point will shoot directly after discovering each other.

Surprisingly, what exposed them was the blood stains on the ground, the smell could not be hidden, and there were some six senses in the scouts.

In particular, people who are sensitive to taste can smell the smell from a long distance, and although the mountains are large, there are many people who are familiar with mountain life.

They speculated that the hiding spot was the easiest place to hide, because it was difficult to find a place with tens of thousands of people, so it was easier to search if there were not so many areas that could be hidden.

After the news was summarized by many parties, it was discovered on the next day that the scale of the troops hidden in the mountains and forests was relatively large compared to the garrisons in the suburbs, and it was inevitable that they would have to go through a battle when the men and horses on both sides collided.

Many of the scouts were not spared, but some of them brought the news back.

"Hidden location found, let's evacuate quickly."

The captains in the mountains began to discuss, and the leaders of the troops in the mountains were all from Wang Junke, the brother of Erxianzhuang.

Hearing the discussion of his lieutenants, what the result was, it was still up to Wang Junke, who was their commander-in-chief, to give an order.

The lieutenants expressed their desire to leave.

"Don't panic, the terrain in the mountains is dangerous, if you do a good job of ambushing, even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, they can't kill it, what I'm worried about is that if Li Shimin divides his troops to block us on the mountain and buy time for them to attack the city, it will be the worst." Wang Junke explained.

"General, what should we do then, we can't just wait for them to intercept us." A lieutenant said.

"Of course, you can't do nothing, and the current situation can be ......"

Wang Jun is not a stupid man without intelligence, and he is not a fool who leads troops to fight, and he naturally has to counteract when he predicts the enemy's approach.

When Li Shimin got the news, he immediately arranged for 100,000 soldiers and horses to enter the mountains to encircle them, because they were experienced in attacking mountain bandits, and it was better to block them than to fight in the mountains and forests.

Moreover, as long as Wagang City does not receive the support of reinforcements, the original plan has been achieved.

"Mowgli, prepare to attack the city in two days."

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that success or failure would depend on it two days later, and after giving him little time, he hurriedly went out and urged the soldiers to hurry up and make catapults.

In particular, the stones of the same size need to be chiseled, and 400,000 soldiers and horses appeared in front of Wagang City in two days.

At this time, the generals of both sides met with solemn and vigilant faces, Shan Xiongxin's pressure was very great, and there had been no news of Wang Junke for several days, if the enemy attacked, he would lose a lot of help.

"Send someone out and shout." Li Shimin said.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately arranged for a soldier to beat his horse over and came out of the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and began to shout: "General Shan, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is benevolent and doesn't want to kill in vain, and you don't want to see the soldiers lose their lives in vain, as long as you open the city gate and surrender, you won't kill a single person, I hope the general will consider that otherwise he will attack after a stick of incense." ”

Shan Xiongxin didn't want to fight for the benefits of his tongue, but in the face of the soldiers on the city wall, he couldn't let others slaughter him, which would affect morale.

"Go back and tell Li Shimin that what he thinks is too beautiful, you wait for the initiative to provoke a war and still want to suppress people with power, you don't want to kill in vain, why don't you take the initiative to leave, don't fake a mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, you are not worthy."

"Soldiers of the Wei Kingdom, the city is full of our family, and now there are villains who want to kill your relatives, friends, what should we do?"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The verbal exchange was fruitless, but Shan Xiongxin provoked the morale of the soldiers, and the heralds under the city left immediately, but after turning around, a sharp arrow hit him directly in the back.

Shan Xiongxin put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and once again raised his morale with bravery.

Li Shimin saw it in his eyes, such arm strength can really be called a general, but unfortunately it is not his command.

"Stubborn, Your Highness's catapults are all ready."

"Well, launch an attack after a stick of incense, with catapults as the main attack."

"General Shan, the enemy has catapults."

"Take shelter and tell the people in the city not to approach."

The eldest grandson Wuji had eighty catapults assembled, with simple equipment, all of which were tied and fixed with wood and ropes, and the power came from pulling the ropes by manpower to drive the levers.

Something very simple is to throw heavy objects and cause damage by throwing stones at their own gravity.

If you want to say that the degree of hardness also destroys the city wall, but it depends on what kind of city wall, such as Wagang City, a wide city wall may be able to cause some damage to the battlements above, but it cannot cause collapse as a whole.

There is no force other than gravity.

"Attack!"

The role of sending troops and horses to attack the city is, to put it bluntly, to contain the archers on the city wall to the edge of the city wall, and the purpose is naturally to maximize the role of trebuchets.

The sky was full of stones thrown and large and small catapults threw stones of different scales, and thousands of people were seen pulling ropes back and forth to provide pulling force.

The wooden frame of the catapult makes people feel like they are about to fall apart every time it shakes, and it can only be said that there is still a lot of manpower.

"Watch out for the stones."

"Hold the shield!"

Shan Xiongxin's lieutenant asked Shan Xiongxin to protect him for the first time, and the gravity caused by the stone hitting the shield had a great impact on the person holding the shield.

Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to make the soldiers insist, and the archers could not stop attacking, otherwise letting the enemy reach the city gate was the biggest threat.

The people of the city were ready to be stoned when they rushed to the city, and the stones of the trebuchet provided a lot of stone for the people of the city.

"Stop the ladder."

The ladder, a necessary tool for siege, was already about to be climbed by soldiers from the bottom of the city, but when they climbed halfway there, they saw fire oil poured from the top of the ladder, and in a hurry, a burst of fire burned along the ladder.

There are also several ladders that have been broken by the wood on the city wall, and the city wall has been directly overturned.

The walls were already covered with stones, and the battle went straight to the intensity of the battle.

"Wolf smoke!" Shan Xiongxin ordered.

Regardless of whether the reinforcements can come or not, he has to give it a try, and after there is wolf smoke on the wall, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji all look at them and want to see if there are any reinforcements who can come to the rescue.

"Send troops and horses ready to respond." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." The herald immediately went to convey it.

"Your Highness, will there really be reinforcements?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"It's better to be cautious, although there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the mountains to intercept them, there is no guarantee that there will be no targets found." Li Shimin replied.

"Mowgli informed the catapult that it was time to throw the oil."

Li Shimin has been preparing for a long time to attack the city, and if he wants to attack the city, he must seize the opportunity to break through the city gate while he is in chaos.

The firelight on the catapult appeared, and soon several fireballs appeared in the sky.
