Lü Wu already knew from Wei Qi what the goal of this attack on "Xinzheng" was.

In addition, in the current era, the capture of the king of a country can only be done by the same monarch.

In other words, he also lost the desire to attack "Xinzheng" with his dead strength.

It's that real!

If it can really be defeated, the loss of troops may be a bit large.

Beat down, but can't do anything to Zheng Jun, Zheng Jun, Ji Xuan.

In this case, why go shopping?

Conquering the outer city and happily looting a wave is the most correct choice.

Just, right?

They were fighting in the northern part of the city, not in the south of the city, where dignitaries would live, and not in the east or west of the city, where a large number of supplies were hoarded.

It's a little uncomfortable!

However, the old Lu family is actually not picky eaters.

Catching someone is a profitable deal.

Wei Qi had already entered the city and personally watched how Wei Xianghui led his troops to attack the second line of defense of "Xinzheng".

The height of the walls of this line of defense ranged from two to three zhang, and the thickness was not uniform.

Looking at the wall of the first line of defense, you can see that the thickness of the second wall ranges from two zhang to one zhang.

Unlike the first line of defense, which prepared a large number of arrows, stones, and sassags, the Zheng people were clearly ill-prepared for the second line of defense.

This is actually understandable.

Who would have thought that the first line of defense would not survive even a day and then be declared lost?

Therefore, the second line of defense will definitely not prepare a large number of defensive equipment.

"Wu Ke seconded the armor to me?" Wei Xiang looked around, found Lu Wu and said that.

Lu Wu did not hesitate and replied, "Yes." ”

When he made his fortune, the Wei family helped the old Lu family too much, and even some small details were done very well.

In these years, if you don't know how to repay your kindness, you will be spurned.

Lu Wu probably guessed what Wei Xiang wanted to do, and there was no reason not to borrow troops.

Five hundred heavy infantry were assembled, and they received a personal speech from Wei Xiang.

Many of the second walls of "Xinzheng" are only two zhang high, and Lü Wu taught many nobles of the Jin Kingdom a lesson last time, and Wei Xiang was also one of them.

Wei Xiang obviously wants to apply what he has learned.

He placed the five hundred heavy infantry of the old Lu family at the front and asked them to put the shield wall on the city wall to form a sloping slope.

The armor soldiers of the old Wei family were also assembled, and they fought with one hand and one hand, and they would become the second echelon of the attack.

The rest of the Wei soldiers, who were told that once the walls were erected, they had to attack behind the armorers.

When Lu Wu saw this Wei clan's heavy infantry, he thought, "This is the predecessor of Wei Wu's pawn?" ”

In order to succeed at one time, Wei Xiang once again asked Lu Wu to borrow long-range troops, and the borrowed was a crossbowman equipped with a crossbow machine.

This is very obvious.

It is necessary to use the sloping shield wall as a passage for attack, and directly kill the city wall to occupy it.

"What's the difference between this and my family attacking on their own?" Ge Cun did not experience the difficult period of the old Lu family, and the old Lu family was in the rising period when he came.

He knew that the Wei family had helped the old Lu family a lot, but it was the same thing.

Lu Wu smiled and did not speak.

Kindness is actually consumed again and again until no one owes anyone more.

He has been looking for a chance to repay Wei's kindness for a long time, but he has not found a chance.

Isn't it the beginning of a new friendship while returning the favor?

After six or seven years of getting along, Lu Wu felt that he was quite comfortable with the Wei family.

He knows better that the Wei family is not far from becoming a "Qing", and there is no chance to send charcoal in the snow, and it can still accumulate a lot!

Ge Cun saw that Lu Wu did not speak, and did not say much about his opinions.

The other side.

Wei Xiang had already made the preparations that should have been made, and ordered the auxiliary soldiers to carry the siege ladder to attack.

Auxiliaries rarely have the opportunity to participate in battle, and their responsibility to come to the battlefield is to do some odd jobs.

Most of the auxiliaries are still eager to participate in the battle and find an opportunity to change their fate.

It is their greatest wish to be able to become a class with constant production.

A siege ladder was carried by six auxiliaries, who shouted "Waaaaaal" from their mouths and ran at a fast pace with their legs.

The archers of the Zheng army on the city wall began to shoot arrows with a rapid bang.

The Wei auxiliaries who were not wearing armor and did not even have a shield were lucky not to be hit by an arrow, and once they were hit, no matter where they were shot, they would definitely fall to the ground.

Six auxiliaries work together to lift a ladder, and if one of them falls from an arrow, the long ladder loses its balance.

If there were other auxiliaries next to them, they would relay and continue to carry them.

If there is no one to relay, the auxiliaries will adjust their center of gravity until a ladder is completely unable to move.

Lu Wu already knew that there really weren't too many kinds of siege equipment now.

The most common is two long logs or bamboo, and then a ladder tied to step on the stairs.

A battering ram used to strike the gates is indispensable.

And then there's the real siege ladder.

The so-called "real" is actually a kind of chassis with a bottom chassis, the chassis has wheels for moving, and the superstructure is a style similar to an arrow tower, which is tilted forward to a certain height, and there is a bite hook device with a rope sleeve at the top.

Once this kind of siege ladder is put on the female wall, it is really not that it can be pushed down if you want to, you can only pour oil and then set it on fire.

Of course, there are too few siege battles at present, and there are only a few companies that have mastered the manufacture of siege equipment.

After all, if you don't use it much, who will study it.

Anyway, except for the fact that Lu Wu had ordered someone to build siege equipment, he really hadn't seen anyone come up with serious siege equipment.

Wei's auxiliaries carried the ladder up and erected it again.

Many of the ladders had just been placed on the women's wall, and they were knocked down in a short time.

As a result, the Wei auxiliaries continued to erect ladders with great effort and desperation against arrows and fallen stones, or other strange things.

The Wei soldiers, who followed, shouted and climbed.

Many Wei soldiers climbed halfway up, and the ladder was pushed down by the defenders above, screaming and smashing to the ground along with the ladder.

Since it's not too high, in fact, it can't stand too serious injuries when you fall, and you can continue to fight when you get up.

And when the defenders were attracted by the climbing troops, the heavy infantry of the old Lu family covered the advance of their own crossbowmen and Wei archers.

The crossbowmen of the old Lu family stopped about one hundred and sixty steps away from the city wall.

From left to right in the queue, two crossbowmen standing in the first sequence shoot at the sound of the officer's command.

That's right, not a whole queue of archery.

There are very few cases where long-range troops shoot arrows directly without calibration, and it is necessary to test the range first, or shoot a "calibration archery" to mark the coverage area.

The Wei archery troops, who continued to advance, needed to get close to the city wall sixty paces away from the city wall under the cover of the heavy infantry of the old Lu family.

The Wei archers hiding inside the shield wall, they could already hear the movement of the shield and the arrow colliding.

"Lil? You are the lil! ”

"Joe?"

"You're a Yin Clan?"

"Exactly!"

The Wei archer, who looked tall and thin, recognized his old friend, and after confirming it, he looked envious.

was originally in the old Wei family, but later became the law that married into the old Lu family, and he was happy to see the old acquaintance at first, and then he was arrogant.

I'm a soldier!

Do you know what a soldier is?

In addition to being treated far beyond ordinary samurai, he is also the confidant of the head of the family.

If the salary is not good, how can you afford the profession of a soldier?

If you are not a confidant, you can't become a soldier.

The shield array continued to advance slowly but surely.

Joe asked, "Hard, far, flat...... How many people are okay? ”

Lu replied: "There are 400 acres of land, more than 10 families have subordinates, and there are no defects in cattle, horses, and sheep, which is acceptable." ”

Is this called Shang Ke?

Joe's mentality was a little explosive.

He used to be a man who could wear heavy armor, until he was hit by an arrow in the calf, lost too much blood and pus, fortunately did not die, but he recuperated from his wounds for too long, and his family was inevitably weakened, so he became an archer.

Of course, the old Wei family has heavy infantry, and in terms of quantity, it is not lost to the armor of the Qing family.

Wei is very strict in the selection of armor soldiers, at least he must be able to lift more than 150 catties of objects with both arms, and then he can run for as many miles as he can.

Others, such as height and weight, are also subject to mandatory requirements.

If the family background is not good, who can grow tall and strong, and they also need to eat and drink well to maintain their condition.

Once selected as a soldier, the Wei clan will definitely allocate a sufficient amount of cultivated land for the consumption of "cultivators".

It's just that the Wei family's land grant also allowed the Jiashi to gather 300 acres.

Slaves, including cows, horses, and sheep, had to be fought by the samurai themselves.

Different people, a similar scene, happened in the cooperation queue of the old Lu family and the old Wei family.

Those who used to think that going to Lao Lu's house would suffer, when they heard acquaintances talk about their current situation, they couldn't help but envy them with their real names.

They don't have much time to talk.

The troops advanced to a certain distance, and the archers of the old Wei family stopped to shoot arrows, and the heavy infantry of the old Lu family continued to advance.

The Zheng people, who were on the defensive, found that there were so many armored soldiers in the Jin army, and their mentality was not good enough, so they were directly close to the point of mental breakdown.

Ziyu actually felt extremely shocked.

Of course, he knew that the Jin army could fight, and he also knew that the "qing" of the Jin state had a rigid requirement for how many armor-piercing soldiers each nobleman brought.

At least more than half of the Jin army that launched the attack had a piece of leather armor, and more soldiers wore metal armor.

The archers on the city walls repeatedly shot arrows, and the results were very unsatisfactory.

Zi Yu was glad that he had blocked the city gate early when he heard a series of screams.

He turned his head to see that his own archers on the right were covered by a rain of arrows, and most of them were directly emptied.

"Counterattack, shoot ......" He was halfway through his words, but he didn't find any of the Jin army's long-range troops to get close to the range, and when he looked farther away, he saw the crossbowman brigade of the old Lu family, and said in surprise: "What kind of archers can shoot so far!" ”

It didn't take long.

The Wei archers also came to the firing range and began to fire at the defending archers on the city walls.

Now Ziyu feels that he is no longer the Ziyu who is still in the first line of defense!

Believing that the battle was still under control, he sent someone to ask the monarch for more long-range troops, and promised the monarch that he would hold the second line of defense.

The man sent has just left.

Zi Yu heard a series of exclamations.

It turned out to be a Jin army wearing heavy armor, I don't know what method was used, the shields that were stacked on each other slowly rose, and the defenders couldn't stop the shield wall from being placed on the side of the female wall.

While organizing people to resist the Jin soldiers who were attacking from the inclined shield wall, Ziyu was a little panicked and thought, "Should I call back the retainers who were sent to express their determination to the monarch?" ”
