Chapter 0018 Solution
The Huns outside the city launched a wave of attacks, and before their soldiers could rush under the walls, dozens of catapults threw stones together to protect their soldiers from further rain of arrows.
Stones the size of a human head roared and landed on the watchtower, the battlement, and the wall, making a loud banging sound, and at the same time feeling a tingling under the feet.
When the stone was smashed on the city wall, it brought a great impact to this ancient city established during the Han Dynasty, the blue bricks were shattered, the battlements collapsed, and the smashed roof tiles of the watchtower were splashed everywhere.
Some of the stones flew over the high wall and landed in the city, and one of the stones hit the medical hall, and a wail suddenly erupted in the medical hall.
On the Liang army's side, he also installed a stone machine at the head of the city, as well as a heavy three-slot crossbow. You can fire three arrows at a time. It takes two people to pull the bowstring together and place an arrow the thickness of the child's wrist. Such a heavy crossbow has an extremely long range, and its power is naturally not to be underestimated.
There is nothing more cruel than war, because both sides resort to all kinds of means, all but to kill the enemy.
The enemy soldiers approached the city wall and began to push the carts and set up ladders, at which point the enemy catapults stopped attacking.
The soldiers defending the city of Jiuquan drew their bowstrings and shot out a wave of arrows, making a burst of sound of breaking through the air, and at the same time, the enemy's arrows kept flying. The two sides have come and gone, and after several confrontations, wounded soldiers have been carried off the city wall. The wounded soldiers were placed at the base of the wall, and there were only a few military doctors, and there was no time to treat them, and many soldiers could only lie there and struggle. Some soldiers couldn't hold back the pain and begged others to give him a good time.
The battle continues. The screams of the high walls, the crash of arrows, the shouts of the generals, and the crackling of burning wood were all intertwined, enveloping the frontier fortress in the horrors of life and death.
It was very close to the initial speculation, the first wave of the enemy's offensive was very fierce, and the enemy had already climbed to the top of the city, but it was soon overturned by Kong Xiaoxian's people.
The five-rank battle general Kong Xiaoxian was also brave when he fought, and he rushed to the front with a Santing machete in his hand. And his cousin Kong Xiaodong is also a five-rank general, and the two work together to defend the north city wall quite steadily.
At this time, a general of the enemy army with good combat strength rushed up, and as soon as he jumped onto the city, it was like a fountain spewing out of the ground, and by the way, he overturned a spearman of the Liang army. As soon as he landed, he knocked the soldiers of the Liang army defending the ladder to the ground, swept a mace in his hand, and immediately two more Liang soldiers broke their legs and fell to the ground and screamed.
Kong Xiaoxian led Dian Allegiance and rushed over, and the two fought the enemy general, but the enemy general still did not fall behind.
At this time, a group of people appeared on the ladder behind the enemy general.
The enemy generals held the ladder, and the fierce Hungarian mermaids rushed up.
Kong Xiaoxian, Dian Allegiance and the enemy general entangled, Kong Xiaodong led people to rush over to block the ladder, as a result, the two sides started a fierce battle on the city, and the sound of weapons colliding spread throughout the city.
At this time, Chen Mu was hesitating whether to kill Kong Xiaoxian.
Now Chen Mu is facing two questions, one is a pure interest calculation problem, and the other is a human favor calculation problem.
The first question is directly related to the combat strength of the Liang army, after all, the Kong brothers were the generals of the Liang army at this time, and they fought bravely and played an important role they should have. If they are killed now, it will be a big loss for the current 3rd Brigade. Although he can go up to it, who knows if Alando's determination to attack the city today is strong? If Alantor is ruthless, gives a death order, and attacks the city at all costs, then killing the Kong brothers now and weakening the city's defenses will cause him to die as well?
The answer to the first question is clear: killing them may bring adverse consequences to yourself.
The second question is a human affection question, if you kill the Kong brothers now, from now on you will completely become the person who is the son of Tang Hong, and as long as Tang Hong is promoted in the future, he will also be promoted, which is a shortcut to the heights.
The answer to the second question is also very clear: Kong Xiaoxian should be killed to pave the way for his official career.
But when you combine the two questions, how should you choose?
Faced with such a comprehensive question, Chen Mu began to improve his thinking level, raise his thinking a little higher, and overlook these two questions. That's when you find something different.
If Kong Xiaoxian is not killed, at most it will leave Tang Hong with the impression of being incompetent.
If you kill Kong Xiaoxian, but you offend the Kong family in the Tang family, you must know that the pillar of the Kong family is the nine-rank general Kong Tuo. If Kong Tuo knows about this, what will be the consequences? Chen Mu never expected a secret to be perfectly concealed, let alone on this battlefield, in full view of everyone.
It is said that Kong Tuo has a deep relationship with Tang Qiong, the patriarch of the Tang clan, and offending Kong Tuo is not to Chen Mu, and the consequences must not be taken lightly. On the bright side, Kong Tuo will not have trouble with Tang Hong, but he will send a few masters to assassinate him behind his back, will this possibility exist? Or, by virtue of the personal vendetta of the military power bulletin, let Tang Hong fight a battle to the death, just like Tang Hong killed Kong Xiaoxian and killed Tang Hong, at that time, what should I Chen Mu do? At that time, I had no foundation, and if I went to seek refuge with others, it would be difficult to break through a layer of barrier.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu once again raised his mind to a high level - even if he didn't kill Kong Xiaoxian, he already knew Tang Hong's secret - Tang Hong's matter was not honorable. With his good combat power, it is estimated that Tang Hong will not leave me in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu chose not to move.
Now the general with a mace who is rushing up by the enemy is very fierce, maybe Kong Xiaoxian may be killed by him, if Kong Xiaoxian dies by the enemy, then the previous problems can be solved.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Kong Xiaoxian and Dian cooperated with loyalty, and forced the entourage around the enemy general to be brought down one by one, and finally with the help of a large number of people, they worked together to overturn the enemy general onto the horse road in the city, and the enemy general fell not lightly. Then the allegiance jumped down, and in the air he wheeled his broadsword, and as soon as he landed, he slashed the enemy to death.
Dian's allegiance fought bravely, and everyone cheered, and Dian's allegiance brandished a big sword and laughed.
"The Hungarian who was hacked to death has about the same combat power as me." Chen Mu's eyes were gloomy: "If Kong Xiaoxian and Dian are loyal and cooperative, I am afraid that I will not be their opponent." ”
Zhang lame said in a low voice: "I see that the enemy will not be able to catch up with you, and your movements are much faster than his." ”
At this time, Chen Mu still didn't know how many grades of combat power he was, after all, no one could measure his true strength at this time.
For a person who has just crossed over for more than a month, he can't know himself very well, and he also lacks the experience to observe the combat power of others. But there is a cripple beside him, and the lame man has rich experience, which makes up for Chen Mu's shortcomings.
Zhang Han was a little young and couldn't bear it, so he asked in a low voice, "Duwei Chen, when will we go up?" ”
Walking out of the hut of the three of them, the relationship between their superiors and subordinates immediately became clear, at this time, Zhang Han must call Chen Mu Chen Duwei, or Chen Patrol, otherwise it will be a great disrespect to the chief.
Chen Mu turned his head and said in a low voice: "I predict that the enemy's attack will last for two hours, and it is only less than two quarters of an hour, and the time is still early." Let's take a look. ”
