Chapter 344: Reinforcements are coming
Outside the camp, Sun Jian's men and horses didn't understand what the hell Liu Zhengjun was doing here.
It's just that all of a sudden, more than a dozen black shadows flew out from Liu Zhengjun's camp, and these black shadows, Sun Jian didn't know what they were at first.
When those stones gradually magnified from the sky, then fell, smashed on the ground, made a rumbling sound, and turned the men and horses under his command, the smashed people on their backs, and the battle formation was shattered, Sun Jian understood what this thing was.
"Stones?"
Sun Jian was startled at first, but then he understood.
"It's a trebuchet!"
He followed Zhu Jun to fight in the south and the north, and he also followed Huangfu Song for a period of time, so he naturally saw such a thing as a trebuchet. However, the trebuchets he had seen could only project stones that were not very far away, and the size of the stones projected was far less large than the ones projected by Liu Zheng.
"Not good! Liu Zheng, that guy has a trebuchet under him, everyone retreat! ”
After the first round of trebuchets carried out some projection, more than a dozen stones fell into Sun Jian's encirclement, causing Sun Jian's soldiers and horses to lose a lot immediately.
And Sun Jian also understood the horror of trebuchets, so he did not hesitate to let the soldiers under his command retreat.
Although the first projection did not completely smash Sun Jian's soldiers into a lot of losses, at least hundreds of people, because they were in the core area of the stone, were directly knocked unconscious by the stone and lost their ability to fight.
When Sun Jian shouted for everyone to retreat, the second round of ten projections came again.
In the blink of an eye, as Sun Jian retreated, he suffered another round of shooting.
In the two shots, Sun Jian's men and horses did not dodge, but the second round of throwings, because Sun Jian's men had been dispersed, caused limited damage to Sun Jian's side, but it was also the momentum that made Sun Jian's momentum just now, and the momentum of the charge brewing was gone.
Sun Jianjun, who was waiting for the battle, retreated in a panic at this time, and did not have the momentum at the beginning at all.
And Sun Jian's side, he finally retreated from the outside of the camp, and his face was also gloomy at this time, he never expected that in Liu Zheng's camp, there was actually a trebuchet, this kind of siege weapon.
But thinking about it at this time, it is normal to have this thing, after all, Liu Zheng is coming this time, but he is rushing to attack the county town of Huiji County, how can he beat the county town of Huiji County without some siege weapons.
"Damn, since Liu Zheng is hiding something like a trebuchet, it will be a little more troublesome for us to attack."
"It doesn't matter, second brother, as soon as Liu Xuan's men arrive, when we have an army of 40,000 and directly set fire to his camp, I don't believe that he won't come out, as long as he comes out and fights us in close quarters, those trebuchets will be useless, and it will be impossible for him to ignore the deaths and injuries of his own people."
Sun Jing was not worried, and immediately explained to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian originally wanted to give Liu Zheng some colors to take a look at now, but at this time, because of these trebuchets, he couldn't do anything to Liu Zheng's side, so he could only endure it for the time being.
"Okay then, just wait for Liu Xuan's people."
The two sides came again to drive some distance and confronted each other.
Although Liu Zheng threw twice, which caused a certain amount of damage to Sun Jian's army, there were not too many corpses left on the scene, Liu Zheng knew that although Sun Jian retreated, the casualties were not serious, and there was no injury to the muscles and bones.
Such an advantage is not enough for Liu Zheng's men to pursue, but it can make Sun Jian jealous and delay the battle, which is also what Liu Zheng wants.
"Gan Ning, has the news been transmitted to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?"
"Lord, I've already sent them a message before, but according to the distance, it must take a while for them to know, and it will take time to rush over."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, Sun Jian and these people shouldn't dare to continue the attack for a while, we just wait for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to come over, they are our hidden killer weapon, as long as they 10,000 people arrive at us, even if Sun Jian still has some reinforcements, it is impossible to take us in a short time."
"When the time comes, Yan Baihu will lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Fuchun, Fuchun's manpower will not be able to prevent Yan Baihu's attack at all, Yan Baihu will be able to defeat Fuchun in a day or two, and catch all the people and horses of the Sun family, and then I will see that Sun Jian will not give in!"
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he waited here quietly.
In fact, he didn't wait long, and soon, Liu Zheng had already heard it, and outside, some voices and some figures appeared outside Liu Zheng's camp one after another.
At first glance, there were at least 20,000 reinforcements from Huiji County.
20,000 people, which is not a small amount, plus Sun Jian's headquarters soldiers and horses, in this place, there are 40,000 enemy troops at once, and the flat river near it is already a little unable to accommodate so many people.
Liu Zheng's camp is not good, but it is just a simple wall of some wooden walls and some stones, such a simple device, if the enemy wants to force the attack, it is almost impossible to block.
"Everyone, pay attention, Sun Jian's reinforcements have arrived, presumably after these reinforcements, they will soon launch an attack on us, they must block his first wave of attacks, and then when the camp is about to be broken, you can choose to retreat, go to join Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's people, and then launch a counterattack!"
To be honest, Liu Zheng at this time was not too sure, and he could use more than 10,000 people at this time to block Sun Jian's 40,000 people.
After all, it is an enemy army several times its size, and although there is a simple camp for defense, there is still no way to avoid the difference in numbers.
Of course, Liu Zheng didn't worry too much, after all, it was not so easy for Sun Jian to defeat him in a short period of time.
Just as Liu Zheng's side had just become vigilant, Sun Jian's side had really begun to act.
Perhaps it was the arrival of Liu Xuan's reinforcements that gave Sun Jian some courage, but without further ado, Sun Jian was also worried that the longer things dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Therefore, after Fan Neng arrived with 20,000 horses, he immediately urged Fan Neng and his soldiers and horses to start increasing the intensity of the siege.
Soon it was already approaching the outside of the camp again, and Liu Zheng knew that they wanted to attack, so he did not hesitate to order again, ordering his trebuchets to continue to project outside.
The whizzing stones flew upward, and when they fell again, they smashed into the ground, causing Sun Jian and Fan Neng's soldiers and horses to cause some losses.
