Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is not flat, but there are really not many mountains.

There are many roads to choose from to get out of Qinchuan and into Qinchuan, and the Qin people themselves built a direct road.

This avenue helped the "New Army" a lot, and they were able to intercept the Qin troops heading east along the way.

In a way, they cut off the Qin hinterland from the front line.

The Qin people who successfully escaped, they either frightened the hinterland, or brought panic to the front line.

Before the "new army" marched westward to "Yi", not a single city was seen, and even villages were very rare.

One thing is more unexpected, the Qin army, which has not been on a large scale, came to stop the "new army".

Now there is no post station system, so naturally there is no need to pull it out.

The people they met were all Qin people who were going to the "Ma Tunnel", killing a group, capturing a group, and escaping.

When a prisoner is caught, he will naturally be tortured.

Not every Qin person is hard-mouthed, and the Jin army also knows more information about the hinterland of the Qin State.

First of all, everything that Qin was able to fight basically went to the "Ma Tunnel", and in the hinterland, except for the capital of "Yong" and the formed army, the rest of the place was only armed by local nobles.

And the so-called formed army on the "Yong" side seems to be an army like the "Royal Court Guard" to the current people.

Of course, the state of Qin did not claim the title of king, and the use of the word "royal court" is easy to understand.

So many cities are "naked" under the front of the "new army"?

It's all here.

Don't do something, are you?

Nearly 40,000 "new troops" marched into "Yi", and at first the Qin people were still confused, and they hurriedly closed the city gate when they found that it was the Jin army.

Because it was too unexpected, there was no time to recall the Qin people who were outside the city, and even some Qin people who were about to enter the city were left outside the city after the city gate was closed.

The Jin army killed some Qin people who wanted to flee and captured the vast majority.

Some Qin people hid near the city gate, unable to enter the city if they wanted to, and had no way to escape if they wanted to escape, so they could only freeze in place in an awkward situation.

Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi found Lu Wu, and after explaining it clearly, they continued to march forward with their troops.

They were more direct.

Lü Wu needs to lead his troops to conquer "Yi", and what gains he obtains are in addition to the forty percent that must be handed over, and the rest is at Lü Wu's disposal.

At the same time, after Lü Wu attacked the "Yi", he needed to defend and be optimistic about the back road on this retreat route.

Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi took the rest of the troops with them, leaving only one "division" for Lü Wu.

In the Zhou royal system, a "division" consisted of one hundred chariots and two thousand five hundred soldiers.

A "division" of the Jin army, in addition to a hundred chariots, numbered as many as 7,500 soldiers.

The number of auxiliaries is not fixed, depending on how much the nobles who pay for it bring.

Lu Wu took a sufficient number of guards to inspect the "Yi" circle.

It is a castle about three miles long on all sides, and it has an irregular square shape.

Each wall, even the same wall, is inconsistent in height.

The highest of the walls is about five meters, and the shortest is just over four meters.

When the Jin army arrived, "Yi" made its own reaction.

A young man who looks relatively young, he should be the eldest son of the owner of the city "Yi"?

Escorted by samurai, he went to the city wall to watch the invading Jin army.

There were also guards on the four walls, but looking at the clothes and weapons in their hands, many of them were residents of the city, not the samurai class.

"Wu?" When Han Qi saw Lu Wu returning from his inspection, he was surprised and said, "Why don't you break the city?" ”

If he wanted to be a humanoid Gundam, Lu Wu would have already carried a thick log to break down the door.

The problem is, you can't do it all the time!

The auxiliaries of the accompanying army had already gone to the nearby woods to cut wood.

They collected the felled timber, and on the premise that it was necessary, Lü Wu would guide the manufacture of some siege equipment that did not appear now.

And before, Lu Wu had already arranged the troops.

There was no encirclement of the troops, and troops were arranged on all sides to enter a state of readiness, and there were more troops in the south.

The more mobile chariot units were placed outside the four gates of the "Yi" to block the possible breakthrough of the enemy army.

"Rui." Lu Wu didn't answer Han Qi's question, looked at Wei Rui and said, "It's up to you to attack the city." ”

Wei Rui has followed Lu Wu to the battlefield for the third time, and many times Lu Wu is charging into battle, and the troops of the old Lu family are led by Wei Rui.

Han Qi was very puzzled and asked, "Training?" ”

That's what it means!

Lü Wu had not yet used conventional means to attack the city.

They became the rear troops of the "New Army", staying in the place of "Yi", and at most laying down "Yi" to solve the surrounding villages.

Lu Wu felt that he needed to attack Cicheng in a serious way.

After a while, Wei Xiang came over.

Lu Wu was about to consult with Wei Xiang, and when he saw someone, he said, "Xiang, Wei's pawn may be commanded by me?" ”

Wei Xiang came to ask Lu Wu how he wanted to fight, and said, "Naturally." ”

A large number of shield soldiers were concentrated, and some spearmen were also transferred, including Han's archers.

Lü Wu planned to try to attack a wave first.

The city wall of "Yi" is really not high, four meters is not two stories high.

There is no need for wooden ladders or other siege equipment, only the shield soldiers need to build the shield wall, find a way to fix the shield wall, so that people can exercise vigorously on it without collapsing, and then push the shield wall up and put it on the female wall, forming a slope that can attack the city wall from the ground.

The young man of the Yi clan learned that the Jin army outside the city in the south was lined up and made a transfer.

When he came over, he saw that the Jin army had gathered a large number of shield bearers, as well as many archers, and knew that the Jin army was going to attack.

"The enemy is attacking the south!" He said to his retainers, "Bring in the family samurai!" ”

The retainers who heard the order hurried away.

The shield bearers of the Jin army outside the city are building a shield wall.

The shield of the old Lu family itself has interlocking devices, and the combination is actually quite strong.

For example, the shields of the Wei family or the rest of the family have no interlocking devices, and they are not the same as the shields of the old Lu family.

The shield wall is the tower shield of the old Lu family, and after the devices are interlocked, they also use eight-meter spears to intersperse the leather belts used for borrowing.

Viewed from the back of the shield wall, many spears crisscrossed each other, forming a kind of grid.

The defenders mobilized a number of archers to attack the walls, and continued to bring arrows and stones.

The young man of the Yi clan held the hilt of the sword in one hand, and put the other hand on the female wall, unable to understand what the Jin army wanted to do, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

The head of this family, of course, he led the warriors to follow Qin Jun on the expedition.

In the absence of the head of the family, the eldest son of the eldest son naturally fulfilled the important responsibility of acting as the head of the family.

The boy seems to be an excellent heir?

Otherwise, when the enemy army is attacking, the person who assumes the responsibility of commanding and defending the city should be a retainer.

"What are the enemy doing?" The young man of the Yi family asked the retainers who had gone and returned, and said, "If you don't see the long ladder, how can you attack the city?" ”

Is there a general who has ordered a shield wall to be erected to siege the city?

It's hard to say if there is any.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, siege warfare rarely broke out, and it was generally the enemy and the enemy who fought in the field.

Even if there are really generals who have done this, in the era when information is difficult to transmit, unless people are on the scene, or if you don't hear about such an incident, I don't know how many years later.

The Jin army, which had set up the shield wall, began to advance.

Each shield wall is an area of eight meters by eight meters, and there are dozens of Jin soldiers carrying it together.

There were no shouts.

Some are just the sound of scrambled footsteps.

The shieldmen pushed forward, followed by the archers.

"Wu?" Han Qi still didn't understand what he was going to do, and asked in confusion: "Will you shoot at the defenders?" ”

"......" Wei Xiang really didn't know that Han Qi could be so stupid before, and said: "Wu uses the shield as a 'ladder' and will build a female wall to go up. ”

Han Qi said speechlessly: "You only need to go to break the door to break the city, why is this?" ”

The defenders on the walls were already shooting arrows, but the arrows landed on the shield wall, causing a metal crash; Only a small number of arrows flew far enough to land in the queue of Han's archers.

Lu Wu looked at it and came to a conclusion.

It seems that most of the archers in the city of "Yi" use hunting bows, and only a few are bows that conform to the military system.

To put it bluntly, there is also a difference in the tension of the bow, the bow in the army must have at least one stone of tension, and the bow of the people has everything; There is also a difference in terms of arrows, the arrows in the army are generally made of willows, and the people prefer to use reed rods.

After the Han archers entered the firing range, the soldiers began to counterattack with the sound of bangzi.

They don't shoot their arrows separately, they are one "pawn" after another that intermittently covers a certain position.

This type of shooting is continuous and is called an arrow array.

After the shield wall was close to the city wall, the Jin soldiers below first supported it with a battle ge, becoming a slope.

Later, the robe continued to support the height with a longer log, and the slope was higher and was placed on the edge of the female wall.

Soldiers with pickaxes and shovels began to dig holes, insert the wood they had brought, and form something like a load-bearing pillar to support the shield wall.

At this point, the soldiers used various ways to tie the load-bearing posts to the shield wall.

After completing those steps, the soldier goes around and begins to join the climbing siege sequence.

The young man was protected by the shield soldiers, and he looked through the gap in the shield and looked at the whole process, and his face was dull.

In fact, it wasn't just the young man who was stunned.

Including the Jin soldiers of the defenders and the attackers, it was the first time that they knew that the siege could still be attacked like this.

As the attacker, the Jin soldiers [Biqu Island] came back to their senses and burst into cheers, alleviating the disappointment of not seeing the Gundam of Lu Wudang and rekindling their passion.

Many of the defenders were killed by the Jin soldiers who rushed up in a sluggish state, and they were still full of confusion before they died, wondering if they could still attack the city like this?

Lu Wu, who did not join the attack, saw that his own soldiers were killed, and the enemy's resistance was light, and said to Wei Xiang and Han Qi: "Today, you can eat in the city for the evening meal." ”

Han Qi's face was still full of surprise, and his eyes widened as he looked at his own soldiers who were constantly rushing up the city wall through the shield wall.

Wei Xiang said very emotionally: "Before today, when the martial arts reach a city, the defenders will block the doorway; From now on, the defenders did not dare to sit idly by and watch the shields stand against the wall. ”

That's what I said.

Do you want to give Lu Wu the title of "City Terminator" or "City Breaker"?

It's a bit too much of a fuss.

The defenders of "Yi" City did not give more opportunities, otherwise there would be a lot of siege equipment on this battlefield.

In addition, Lu Wu still had a lot of means that he didn't have time to use.

Alas, loneliness!
