Grass! (a plant)

Two strange cars that I don't know are here, forget it.

Do you need to dispatch thousands of armor soldiers?

Rise!??

Of course, Xu Jun and Jiang Ning knew iron.

After all, Xu Guo is really the "meat in the pot" of Chu State, and he has constant exchanges with Chu State, and has a good relationship with many Chu nobles.

The state of Chu has long studied the smelting of iron ore, and the versatility is not too widespread, but the nobles of the state of Chu near the Central Plains have made iron tools appear many times.

Of course, their iron tools are of good and poor quality, and generally poor.

The problem is that no matter what the quality is, there really is no shortage of appearances.

Xu Jun and Jiang Ning are not monarchs who close their doors and don't inquire about things.

He was timid, and timid people are usually afraid of death.

Because I am afraid of death, I will definitely pay more attention to what rumors are outside, and I am afraid that I will be killed if I don't open my eyes one day, and I don't know why I was killed.

Therefore, he had heard of Yin Wu, and he had also heard that a nobleman in the Jin Kingdom had begun to use iron equipment on a large scale.

"This ...... Soldiers of the Yin Clan? He shuddered and shouted, "Hurry up, seal the gates quickly!" ”

it!

This is a ruthless man who single-handedly broke through the gate of "Yong", the capital of Qin!

The capital of Xu State, "Yi", is definitely not comparable to the capital of Qin, "Yong".

After all, the difference in strength between the two countries is there, what a comparison!

Some of the nobles of Xu Kingdom were bewildered by the king's shouting, and they wondered why they had to seal the city gate before they even started fighting?

In this way, the people in the city will not be able to live???

And here something must be said.

Now if you want to eat, you must have firewood.

No matter how large a family is, they will not hoard too much firewood at home, generally half a month's supply.

Ordinary people save three or five days' worth of firewood, which is quite a lot.

Once a war breaks out, whether it is a field battle outside the city or a battle for the attack and defense of the city, the residents of the city will still go out of the city to collect incendiary materials.

The besieging side, unless the other side is close to the camp, will not care about the civilians who go out of the city to collect firewood and weeds.

This is a unique battlefield phenomenon in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In other dynasties, it must have been to capture one or kill one or take prisoner.

The reason why this is the case is very simple.

When wars broke out in the Spring and Autumn Period, they generally went to collect protection money, not to capture the opponent's cities and land.

In this way, defeating the opposing army's army is the goal.

After defeating the opponent, they will inevitably ask for wealth and population, and they can also loot or capture during the attack.

Isn't killing the other side's civilians destroying one's own property? And it will also leave a reputation for brutality.

Lu Wu didn't know that Xu Jun and Jiang Ning had ordered the city gate to be sealed.

This time, he didn't actually plan to stage a solo breakdown, and if he really wanted to do so, it was also the premise that his own army would be difficult to conquer the city.

The troops of the old Lu family have strengthened their training in the past two years, and it is needless to say that they were brought out to pay for the endowment, and last year they were also recruited to go to the north for actual combat training without the need for the endowment.

They formed a phalanx and were slowly approaching Yi, coming to a halt near the city wall where their bows and arrows were within range.

On top of the chariot, Lu Wuren saluted from a distance to the position of the city wall where the Great Bow was erected, and shouted loudly: "Lin Wu, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, salute Xu Jun!" ”

The sound travels far and wide.

Not only did Jiang Ning, the Xu Jun who stayed on the city wall, hear it, but also the Jin Jun who was behind the military formation and the monarchs and consuls of the rest of the countries, including Luan Shu and Shi Xie, and other Jin nobles and soldiers could hear it.

It's just that as the distance increases, it's hard to say whether you can really hear it.

This is a time when the power of the monarch must be respected.

Xu Guo is a small country, and Jiang Ning is only a baron, but he is indeed the king of a country.

He stood on the city wall and showed his figure, and said loudly: "The widow has never offended the Jin Kingdom, why did he suffer such a catastrophe? ”

Lu Wu shouted loudly: "The widow has come from afar, and he has been waiting for Xu Jun for a long time with the kings of all countries. Wu was concerned about the two countries, and specially invited Xu Jun to visit the widow in the military camp. ”

This "widow" is the name given by the nobility to the monarch of their country.

Lu Wu expressed a meaning.

I'm going to hit you!

Hit you or for your own good.

Otherwise, my monarch is here, you don't know how to be polite to go to the meeting, and you don't have the slightest intention of fulfilling the friendship of the landlord, it's very unusual!

It's all like this, is Xu Jun Jiang Ning embarrassed to say that he didn't make a mistake?

The dignified overlord of the Central Plains came, and he also brought so many monarchs of vassal states, and he came with the will of Zhou Tianzi, and it would be a mistake not to visit him.

As a kind person, Shi Xie said to Luan Shu with a smile: "Yin Wu is an honest person. ”

Luan was also laughing and said, "It's time to invite Xu Jun to come as a guest." ”

And voila!

Obviously, a bloody battle is about to start, and both armies can still be so polite in the moment before the battle.

In addition, as the party that was going to attack, the high-level smiled sincerely, as if it was just to invite the other party's leaders to come to their side to drink tea and chat.

Xu Jun Jiang Ning held on to the female wall to make himself stand firm, and shouted to Lu Wu: "The widow is ill, and he has never greeted the princes from afar, so he really doesn't want to." Now, the doctor is here with his soldiers, but please don't kill fearlessly, and thank you first. ”

Lu Wu shouted loudly: "Xu is the alliance of Chu, and it is a crime not to respect the Son of Heaven." Wu Naijun's minister, also guarding the way for the Son of Heaven, if you are offended, please calm your anger. ”

Don't beep.

Either surrender.

Or just wait to be beaten.

That's it!

He had already seen two siege engines being pulled up.

Some auxiliaries followed the instructions to get into the position of the cart.

This siege is not limited to the "Z" ladder that can be climbed on the floor, and there is also a staircase that slopes down from the top to the bottom.

Once it is pushed to the city wall, a wooden plank that was supposed to be used as a shield is lowered and fastened to the women's wall.

Soldiers can climb up from the inside or march up the stairs at the back.

The drums of war were beaten.

The old Lu family soldier with a shield set up a shield array, shouted a neat trumpet, and advanced step by step.

The first echelon behind the shield wall were archers armed with bows and arrows.

They seemed so unhurried, as if they were on an outing.

Xu Guobing on the city wall had already begun to release arrows, but it seemed that the arrows were a little sparse, and most of the arrows shot were blocked by the shield wall.

Some of the arrows fell in the queue of the archers of the old Lu family.

The archers of the old Lu family were at least wearing leather armor, and the middle arrow part was covered by leather, and the wound would definitely be injured, but it would not be fatal.

If you are very unlucky, such as being shot in the face or neck, you will fall to the ground with a muffled grunt.

It is known that once the bows are of similar quality, the archers on the walls have a height bonus, and their range will definitely be farther than under the walls.

Under the cover of the shield wall, the archers of the old Lu family continued to advance under the rain of arrows, until they took about fifteen steps forward, and a dense string of bangs was heard.

In an instant, there was a great movement with the bow drawn, followed by a black cloud rising from the ground.

In the sharp sound of breaking the air, the arrows are three-edged arrows, they fly over a certain distance, and after losing kinetic energy, inertia causes them to begin to fall, and new kinetic energy is generated.

One arrow after another fell, most of them missing their target, and were stuck in the dirt of the women's wall or the aisles of the city walls.

Once the target is hit, the three-edged arrow will inevitably break through the armor or cloth, and then burrow into the flesh and blood of the person, blooming blood-colored flowers.

After a rain of arrows, the old Lu family fired six consecutive volleys, directly emptying the section of the city wall with a length of about 400 meters.

In fact, he didn't shoot all the defenders to death.

More than half of Xu Guobing's archers started shooting arrows after the archers of the old Lu family, Xu Guobing, who did not die in the first wave, would definitely have to hide.

They either hid under the women's wall or ran early.

And when the archers of the old Lu family were powerful, some of the auxiliaries carried the siege ladder together and began to charge.

Their task was to put up the siege ladder, and they could not run back after finishing their work, so they hid in the corner of the city wall.

The auxiliaries pushing the siege vehicle shouted neatly and kept pushing the siege vehicle inch by inch.

Lu Wu disliked that it was too slow to push by manpower alone, and ordered the oxen to start pulling.

And not dispatching cattle at the beginning can be said to be a mistake.

Actually, it's not a mistake.

Who would have thought that after just firing six waves of arrows, Xu Guobing on the city wall would hide and dare not show up?

The siege ladder has been erected.

The iron-clad warriors were in a team of twenty-five (two), rigidly maintaining a relatively neat formation, trotting to the edge of a siege ladder and starting to climb in an orderly manner.

With the pull of the oxen, the speed of the siege caravan increases, and it will definitely reach the right position after a short delay.

At this time, the disadvantages of the city gate being sealed became apparent.

If the city gate is not sealed, and the Xu army opens the city gate and rushes out in a wave, it will disrupt the siege rhythm of the old Lu family, so that the city wall will not be suppressed by the long-range troops of the besieging party, resulting in a complete passivity.

In fact, the correct way to defend the city is to leave the right number of troops outside the city, not to bring all the troops into the city.

However, garrisoning or building permanent fortifications to form an angle with the city can force the enemy army not to attack the city with all its might, and it can also harass the enemy army, or serve as a mobile force for counterattacks.

How could a general be foolish enough to transfer all his troops into the city, give the enemy a chance to encircle, and then let himself fall into absolute death?

"The Yin 'division' is not in a hurry, and it has the appearance of a strong army." Luan Shu thought that his vision was not bad, but he said: "It's just that Yin Wu is too cautious, and he should go down with a 'drum' of thunder." ”

This "drum" refers to a drum, which generally refers to a certain period of time.

Shi Xie glanced at Luan Shu and didn't speak, but he thought in his heart: "Yin Wu's capture of the city is the most important in the Jin Kingdom, and the marshal has not captured the city. What is the harshness of words? ”

Luan Shu is not looking for trouble.

They attacked Xu Guo this time to show their muscles against Wu Guo, and the sooner they attacked, the better.

At this time, two siege engines had been pushed to the edge of the city wall, and the wooden planks that had fallen were placed on the women's wall.

The 500 heavy infantry were divided into two groups and each began to ascend the city from siege engines.

Before the heavy infantry attacked, some soldiers had already gone up to firmly occupy the section of the wall, and were attacking the other sections of the wall.

Lu Wu said to Ge Cun very comfortably: "This city is taken by my family alone, and sixty percent of the things in the city belong to me." ”

Ge Cun's eyes were about to glow.

Conquer the capital of a country, even if the country is weak, but it is also the capital.

This time, the old Lu family is going to send it! 1603466701
