When Jizhou City was first built, Da Chu wanted to build Jizhou into the most important military fortress in the north to fight against strong enemies outside the north.

Here, is the only center of the entire northern border, if the large and small cities in the north are like a dense number of stars, then Jizhou is the largest one.

The difficulty of such a big city is that the ordinary cloud ladder is meaningless, because it cannot reach the head of Jizhou at all.

In order to attack such a fortified city, the ladder was too long, so it was very difficult to erect the ladder.

Without large-scale siege equipment, trying to storm the city wall is tantamount to a fool's dream.

In order to let Luo Jing in the city know that the army outside the city was ready, Liu Li ordered the Yuzhou army to attack the eastern city of Jizhou, and this kind of attack must not be just for show.

Relatively speaking, the Yuzhou army was more warlike than the Qingzhou army.

Liu Li was once one of the most powerful generals under the command of Prince Wu Yang Jiju, and in the previous battle with Prince Yu, Liu Li's Prince Yu Yang Jixing couldn't raise his head at all.

If it weren't for Prince Wu's back road, at this moment, the most proud person should be Liu Li.

The people of the outer regions call the Central Plains too general, and the Central Plains people themselves roughly divide the Central Plains into five regions, which is also simple, nothing more than east, west, north, south, and middle.

In the Central Plains, there is the area of Yuzhou, which has always been abundant, and the people are strong.

"Drumming!"

Liu Li turned around and ordered.

More than a dozen feet behind him, more than a dozen naked-shirted strong men began to beat the war drums, and the row of huge cowhide war drums rang out at the same time.

The drums sounded like thunder, and the Yuzhou army began to press under the city wall, if you look down from a high place, it is like looking at the black pressure ant colony.

On the city wall, Liu Ge saw the Yuzhou army coming up and shouted loudly: "Arrow!" ”

With his command, hundreds of archers raised their bows, and with a whoosh, feathered arrows flew out.

These arrows differ from normal feathered arrows in that their tail feathers are dyed red to make them more visible.

On the ground in the distance outside the city wall, the arrows hit the ground, forming a line on the ground.

This is the farthest range of the archer's feather arrows against the enemy on the city wall, and the soldiers look at the position of the arrows, and if the enemy does not reach here, there is no point in releasing the arrows.

"All bed crossbows are aimed at the ladder."

Liu Ge shouted loudly, his face solemn.

Da Chu's military manufacturing technology has been extremely advanced, and the bed crossbow on the city wall can already adjust the angle up and down, left and right, although the adjustment range is not very large, but compared with the fixed crossbow, the power is naturally stronger.

It's just that this kind of bed crossbow that can adjust the angle is not available in every city, the cost is expensive, the process is complicated, and the situation of the Great Chu Dynasty collapsed later, and the people in the martial arts workshop are the same, who still does things seriously.

In the later period of the Great Chu, most of the weapons and armor made by the martial arts workshop cut corners.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Liuge pointed his long knife outward.

The bed crossbows placed on the city walls were the first to wield, and a row of heavy crossbows flew out.

The heavy crossbow arrows that flew out fell in the crowd of the Yuzhou army, giving people the feeling that they were not heavy crossbow arrows, but flying out one by one iron plows, and each iron plow landed on the ground, plowing out a straight blood line.

The soldiers of the Jizhou Army, who were rushing forward, told themselves over and over again in their hearts while running...... My life is big, my life is big, my life is big......

He didn't even dare to look up at the heavy crossbow bolts with thick calves flying down from the city walls, he didn't want to look at anything, he just wanted to run with his head down.

Behind him was a long line of soldiers, carrying specially made elongated ladders, each of them moving exactly the same way as him, even bowing their heads in the same way.

Maybe each of them has the same thing on their minds...... My life is great.

Heavy crossbow arrows flew straight from the city wall, coincidentally piercing the necks of the leading soldiers, and such thick and large crossbow arrows pierced through, and the necks were directly gone.

Heads fly

When he got up, the heavy crossbow bolt pierced the chest of the second person, and after an instant, it pierced the chest of the third person, the stomach of four people, and the lower abdomen of the fifth person......

Behind the doors of these ant-packed, stormtroopers were moving forward one after another, one after another, and ballista carts.

The moment the feet of the frontmost row of charging soldiers stepped over the arrows, Liu Ge shouted loudly.

Then the feather arrows on the city wall were thrown out, and the feather arrows flew up from the city wall like a dark cloud, and after passing a perfect parabola in mid-air, they landed on the heads of the soldiers of the Yuzhou army.

With a snort, a rainstorm of feathered arrows fell, and the soldiers who rushed forward fell to the ground.

This kind of covering throw, for the attacking side, the pressure is really high.

"Put!"

Liu Ge shouted again, his voice was slightly hoarse.

The second round of feathered arrows flew out again, and it was another dark cloud.

This feeling is like a torrential rain falling on the surface of a lake, creating countless puddles, and each puddle, a person may have fallen.

The corpses on the ground gradually increased, and gradually changed the color of the earth.

In the city wall of Jizhou City, there are also countless Jizhou troops standing about a few zhang away from the city wall, waiting for orders.

When the Yuzhou army outside the city approached the city wall, Liu Ge asked people to give orders, and the horn sounded quickly and briefly.

Hearing the clarion call of the military order, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army on the inside of the city wall neatly raised their bows, and then neatly threw their feather arrows up.

The feather arrows flew over the city wall and landed not far outside the city, and they practiced this kind of archery countless times.

At what distance and with what kind of force, you will not hurt your own people on the city wall, and you can deal a blow to the enemy troops close to the city wall.

Under such a dense arrow array defense, the number of dead and wounded soldiers of the Yuzhou army is incalculable.

But the battlefield is the battlefield, and the soldier is the soldier.

They braved the rain of arrows, but still rushed to the city wall, and struggled to erect the ladder to lean on the city wall.

"Shoot!"

Liugo roared.

The archers on the walls began to aim at those who carried the ladder, and at this distance, the feathered arrows were more ferocious.

The soldiers of the Yuzhou Army who carried the ladder were killed and wounded at a rate and number much higher than those of other soldiers.

But at this time, after paying the price of countless lives, the ballista of the Yuzhou army had also been pushed within their range.

Adjust the elevation angle, and with an order, the ballista of the Yuzhou army began to return fire.

Huge crossbow bolts flew up the city wall, and the scene became more tragic for a while, and finally there was no longer only one dead man.

A heavy crossbow bolt hit the battlement, and with a snap, knocked off a small brick, and the heavy crossbow arrow changed the direction of flight in the sparks splashed, and slammed into the head of the Jizhou army soldier on the other side.

The number of ballistae in the Yuzhou army is larger, and the firing range of this infantry ballista is naturally not as good as the city defense crossbow fixed at a high place, but as long as the distance is enough, the power is not weak at all.

Moreover, among the types of such infantry ballistas, there are also platoon crossbows.

The crossbow arrows of the row were not so large, about the thickness of a wrist, four or five feet long, and they were shot out in a row, which was like sweeping a row of wheat with a sickle for the soldiers.

Suddenly the walls were littered with broken bricks, and there were sparks from crossbow arrows everywhere, and wails exploded in them.

"Hold down their crossbows!"

Liu Ge ordered to adjust the angle of the bed crossbow, and the heavy crossbow arrows began to concentrate on hitting the ballista of the Yuzhou army.

The battlefield is not made up of an infinite number of points and lines, nor is there only one line in the dead.

The people under the feather arrow cover the point of disappearing one by one, and the people who die under the city wall are the death of one line after another.

When they got to the bottom of the city wall, many people didn't have a choice at all, because of the back

The comrades on the side squeezed them at the foot of the city wall, and they could not turn back, and naturally they could not climb up.

"Put the nail row!"

The order sounded, and the rows of nails hanging on the city wall fell rapidly, and as soon as the heavy rows of nails fell on the top of people's heads, they directly pierced the skull.

When the nails were pulled up, the blood fell drip by drop on the spikes.

I don't know how long it lasted, but the corpses of the Yuzhou army had piled up very high under the city wall.

Finally, the horn of withdrawal was heard in the rear team.

The Yuzhou army, which had been attacking for a long time, finally retreated slowly, and when it came, it was like a huge wave crashing on the shore frantically, and when it retreated, it looked a little depressed and unwilling.

A fortified city like Jizhou is difficult to defeat by conventional offensive means.

The offensive was not only on the side of the eastern city, but also in the northern and southern cities, and there were also large-scale attacks by the enemy army in these two directions.

Only in the west, where Luo Geng led the army to garrison, did not move.

Night.

Zeng Ling sent people to find the pawns and Liu Ge, and in the Jizhou army camp in the city, except for the general who was on duty to guard the city, everyone else was here.

"Attack on three sides, but not on the west."

Zeng Ling said while pacing in the big tent: "It seems that the contradiction between Luo Geng and Cui Yanlai and Liu Li cannot be easily eased, and this is exactly where we can take advantage of it. ”

Zeng Ling stopped, looked at Liu Ge and asked, "In such a situation, if you deal with it, what can you do?" ”

Liu Ge had just been thinking about a question in his mind..... If this matter is handled by Tang Rival, what should Tang Rival do?

When he was guarding Jizhou before, whether it was a pawn or him, he admired Tang Rival is talent.

"Stirring?"

Lyuge suddenly thought of a solution.

Zeng Ling asked him: "How to provoke?" ”

Liu Ge said: "Tomorrow, send someone to put arrows down on the city wall, tie letters to the arrows, and order the soldiers to shout on the city wall to ask General Luo to receive the letter." ”

Zeng Ling pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, whether it can make Luo Geng turn enemies into friends, it can also make Cui Yanlai and Liu Li more suspicious of Luo Geng." ”

He glanced at Liu Ge and continued: "But this plan seems to be a little lacking. ”

Liu Ge said: "If ...... There is a dead soldier, after someone in the Youzhou army took the arrow letter away, he was willing to go out of the city to Luo Geng's army, and this plan may be more effective. ”

Zeng Ling frowned slightly.

"Those who have gone here are afraid that there will be no return."

Zeng Ling paused for a moment, then looked at the soldiers outside the door.

Walking to the door, Zeng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do any of you want to risk your life to go out of the city and send a letter to the location of Luo Geng's army in the west of the city?" If anyone goes, I will treat his family well......"

"Your Excellency!"

Shi Kuan, the captain of Zeng Ling's pro-military battalion, stepped forward and said, "My lord, go down." ”

Zeng Ling said: "You...... You should know that this is ......"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Kuan hugged his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates know, there is no need to say more, since my subordinates are willing to go, they have no intention of coming back alive, and their subordinates only have one request." ”

Zeng Ling said: "You say." ”

Shi Kuan said loudly: "There is an old mother at home, please take care of the adults." ”

Zeng Ling asked again: "What about the other than that?" ”

"It's gone."

Shi Kuan said: "Life, it has always been an adult's, and my subordinates are just keeping it for my lord, and if I need this life today, my lord will take it." ”

Zeng Ling stood on the steps, looked at Shi Kuan for a long time, and then bowed deeply with his hands in fists.

Behind him, the generals gave a military salute in order.

......

......

[I have something at home today, and I'm sorry for the delay.] ]
