Chapter 84: Crazy Stone
"Madman, Van Rava is the granary of Tanisha, the city must be strong, the dozens of people in Muji, I'm afraid it won't play a big role, have you figured out how to attack the city?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Zilong, the fortified city is indeed difficult to attack, but I also have some plans, this time you must hurry to Tannisha City, and be sure to hold off the main force of Akash, otherwise we and Saga City are very dangerous." Liu Feng replied, I haven't been to a place before, I really don't know the bottom of my heart, so let's adapt to the situation.
continued to walk for dozens of miles, and when they reached the fork in the road, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun parted ways and took people with them. This has penetrated deep into the territory of Taneshah, and the army can only go out by day and night, and several scouts have already been sent to investigate.
"Mitab, tell the sergeants to slow down." Liu Feng arranged.
"Marshal, Vanrava is less than a hundred miles away, and will be there in two days. Why don't you hurry up and give him a surprise? Mitab asked.
"You're wrong," Liu Feng shook his head, "I'm afraid that as soon as we set off, Vanrava City will already know, let's go slower, and wait for Zilong to harass other cities along the way, distract some attention, and let Vanrava slack off." ”
After three days of stop-and-go, Liu Feng received a letter from Aisila and Muji.
Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible in a hundred battles, it is indeed difficult to fight a battle with two eyes blackened. Liu Feng hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it in a hurry, his face was grim.
"Marshal, is there any bad news?"
"There is a lot of food in the city of Varava, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, and the garrison is heavy, but I am afraid that our trip will be a hard battle. Mido, the general who defends the city, is quite prestigious in the city, and he is by no means an ordinary person. Liu Feng sighed, in this era of cold weapons, this kind of opponent is the most difficult to bite.
After three days, ten miles outside the city of Rawa, Liu Feng found a place near the mountains and rivers to bury the pot and make rice.
Finding a boulder, Liu Feng jumped up, "Brothers, do you know what it means to be the first to take the lead?" ”
The soldiers' faces were dazed, and Mitabu also shook his black head like a rattle, Liu Feng continued, "Tomorrow to attack the city, the first person to climb the city tower will have a bounty of three hundred taels and seal a thousand households." ”
"Ah, this is too exciting, rush to the city tower, so much money, you can still be a general, no matter what, you have to fight hard tomorrow." The sergeants' faces lit up with excitement.
"It's not that easy to get to the city smoothly, so you have to prepare for it today. The sergeants went to collect more firewood and hay, as well as large stones, and tomorrow we will use catapults to make the guards of Van Rava suffer a little. ”
"Ah, what is a catapult?"
"It sounds high-end, but we don't."
The sergeants looked around, not knowing why, and began to talk about it. In fact, Liu Feng had already ordered An Shuo to do this thing. The city of Saga is mountainous, unlike this anti-Rava city, which is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is just a small hill. When passing through Saga City, Liu Feng ordered the army to bring some wooden poles and wooden frames, and everyone was quite puzzled at that time, thinking that they were going to build barracks.
Liu Feng instructed the sergeants to install a catapult, and after a simple operation, the sergeants understood.
"Put the boulder in the bucket, use this catapult, throw the stone fireball into the city, and hit him with a falling flower." Liu Feng said.
"This catapult is so ingenious, so that we can take the lives of the defenders with just a little effort." Mitab praised.
This thing is also simple, Anshuo has already arranged for people to make dozens of them, but they are just dismantled. The sergeants soon mastered it, but they didn't pretend for the time being, after all, there were still ten miles to go, and they were going to surprise the city of Van Rava tomorrow.
Patrol posts and scouts were arranged that night, and the troops were arranged to rest early.
Early the next morning, the sergeants lined up more than a stone's throw away from the city wall, and some of the soldiers began to busily set up catapults.
It is better to see than to hear, Liu Feng carefully looked at this anti-Rava City. The land here is fertile, the food is abundant, and I don't want to eat in other places. Therefore, the wall looks quite imposing, nearly 20 meters high, and the wall looks very strong.
The soldiers on the city tower drew their bows and arrows, and the city was full of rolling stones and wood, firewood, firewood, and grass, waiting for Liu Feng and them to attack.
Liu Feng nodded secretly, it seems that this Miduo guarding the city is really extraordinary, and he is a difficult master to deal with.
Mi Duo on the city tower didn't look confused, Liu Feng left Saga City all the way, and the scouts had already reported to Mi Duo. The old routine of reinforcing the city defense, Mi Duo was naturally familiar with it, and he had already prepared it, and after another two days, he saw that Liu Feng's army was late.
The soldiers defending the city had already been prepared, and they had gathered enough energy, just waiting for the battle, and after waiting for a long time, they stopped fighting, and set up wooden shelves, what is the situation. Seeing that the height of the wooden shelf is not enough, it is still far from being used to climb the wall.
The soldiers defending the city talked a lot and were confused, and the general Mido checked it repeatedly, and he was also full of doubts. This marshal of the Tang Dynasty really didn't take the usual path, he didn't say anything along the way, and after he came, he didn't attack the city, but he built wood, so he had to camp outside the city? Isn't that "hanged man make-up - only know beauty but don't know dead and alive?" ”
No, Mi Duo has heard of it a long time ago, this Tang Marshal is wise and scheming, there must be some crooked tricks, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the city: "Everyone pay more attention, this Tang Marshal is very treacherous, don't fall for them, I will be stared to death." ”
In fact, without Mido's instructions, the sergeants were naturally staring to death. The two armies fiddled with wooden shelves in front of the formation, such a new thing was unheard of, and everyone was curious.
It didn't take long for the catapults to be ready, thirty catapults were lined up, and the bucket was already full of boulders, Liu Feng nodded and signaled Mitabu to start attacking.
Mitab raised his arms and slashed at them, and the catapults were launched in unison, and thirty boulders were hurled towards the city of Varava with the sound of the wind.
The soldiers on the city wall were watching the excitement, and suddenly saw the boulder falling from the sky, and finally understood what the Shimira army was busy with before, and the feeling was not to build a barracks, but to make weapons. Many soldiers suddenly did not react, and they were on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the boulders fell one after another, smashing on the heads of the sergeants, and there was a sudden chaos on the city wall, and the sergeants ran everywhere and began to find a place to cover. also hurriedly swung a knife and slashed a few people who fled for their lives, and then shouted:
"Don't mess around, everyone guards the city."
But it was useless, it was important to save his life, and in the noise, few people could hear his orders. And after a while, another round of stone rain began to fall.
Many soldiers were stoned and wounded, and there was a wail for a while. Some sergeants were angry, pulled their bows and released arrows, but the distance was not enough, and the arrows were wasted, and they screamed in anger.
