Chapter 229: The Sword Gate Pass is in danger
After the herald left, a personal soldier behind Zhao Sanlazy stepped forward and said, "General, Mo Wuyan and Liu Zhongzhi are now being used by the emperor, and we can't offend them." ”
"Do you think the emperor really reuses them? It's just to use their power. Our emperor doesn't lack anything now, only a great righteousness. I'm telling you all about this, so let's go and see what's going on. Zhao San scolded with a smile.
"General, there is nothing to see over there, the court throws stones vigorously, and no soldiers come up." One of the soldiers replied.
"Don't be careless, send someone to wait for the side to stop, and quickly clear the stones."
"Yes." The soldiers agreed, and went out to give orders.
In the sky above Jianmen City, the stones were still raining, and they kept falling down. The soldiers under Zhao Sanlazy were all hiding under the wall or in the house, and all of them were not relaxed. You must know that these stones are not long-sighted, and they may be able to hit your body at any time.
Still, there are people who stick to the holes in the walls and look through the holes in the walls to see what is going on below.
Seeing that the imperial army had no intention of rushing up at all, these people gradually lost their patience, relaxed their application, and rested against the city wall.
Zhao Sanlazy thought that after throwing stones at the imperial court for a while, he should attack. But the stone was thrown endlessly, until lunchtime, and there was no rest. The point is to throw it down like this, and the soldiers in the city don't dare to go out at will, let alone eat or something.
It's been two hours, and I should be able to stop a little in the afternoon, after all, there are a lot of rocks in the city now, and we need to clean it up quickly.
But what made all the soldiers in Jianmen City depressed was that they didn't stop in the afternoon, they didn't stop even at night, and they were still throwing it. I don't know how many pieces were thrown on this day, and the city was full of stones, and in some places they were piled high.
One day later, the soldiers ate some dry food, and one by one they were hungry with their chests pressed to their backs, and they kept cursing in their mouths. Of course, there were dozens of unlucky ghosts who were stoned to death. Fortunately, there are no civilians living here, otherwise I don't know how many civilians would have been killed by such a large-scale stone.
Zhao Sanlazy had already hid in the city gate cave at this time, because the room he had stayed in before had been smashed by a few stones. If he hadn't hid in time, it is estimated that he would have been loyal to his emperor by now.
"General, this is not the way to go, the brothers are almost starving. The warehouse on the side of the gang leader was smashed, and there were few good things for cooking, the key was that there was no way to do it, so I could only hide, and the Buddha might have a stone on his head. An officer under Zhao Sanlazy complained helplessly.
"Let them carry their things to the cave of the city gate and cook them, and then the brothers will eat separately, and a hundred people at a time will eat in the cave of the city gate. Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, can they keep throwing stones like this? ”
Zhao Sanlazi's guess was right, at the end of the day, more than 30 trebuchets were damaged, which was the kind of damage that could not be used directly.
If it weren't for Zhao Ximei's constant rush to make it, it is estimated that there would only be about thirty trebuchets left at night. However, even so, the density of stones thrown out at night is much smaller than during the day.
After dinner, the trebuchet finally rested for about a quarter of an hour, and the soldiers, divided into three shifts, began to change shifts.
Their shift change made Zhao Sanlan and his soldiers in Jianmen City breathe a sigh of relief.
"Damn, the dead officer is so annoying, he actually threw stones for a day. Tell the order to go down, eat quickly, and then clear the stones. Those who can move up the city wall will be brought up, and when the officials and soldiers attack, they will also be smashed on their heads. ”
The soldiers cursed and left their hiding places to prepare for dinner. But no sooner had they walked down the wall, and before they had reached the place where they were eating, the sound of whirring sounded in the air again.
Everyone looked up. Zhao Sanlan was also one of them, his face changed suddenly, and he scolded: "Damn, the officials and soldiers won't throw stones again, right?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang not far in front of him, and a black shadow fell, and the two Zhao Sanlazy soldiers who were walking in front were immediately smashed, and their bodies were directly smashed.
"Hide!" Zhao Sanlazy yelled and hurriedly bent down and ran towards the nearby house.
The soldiers in the city immediately panicked and searched for buildings to hide from the falling stones from the sky. The point is that there are stones everywhere in the city, and many places have not had time to be cleared, and many soldiers are running between the stones, and their movements are greatly restricted.
The offensive effect of this wave of trebuchets was very impressive, almost killing hundreds of soldiers under Zhao Sanlazi.
Then, the stones continued to fall, and there was no sign of stopping. Zhao Sanlazy led people to slowly turn around along the corner of the house, and finally hid back in the previous city gate hole.
The other soldiers who were lucky enough not to be stoned to death also found safe places to hide. It seems that I don't have to think about eating, and I can't complete the task of cleaning up the stones.
This night, Zhao Sanlazy fell asleep with the thud of the stone falling to the ground, but many people did not get up again after falling asleep. The house that was hiding in the house was smashed down and ended up with the house. Hiding in some corners, because the stones were piled up and then hit, it was enough to roll down and bury them, anyway, at least thousands of people disappeared into Jianmen City the next day.
What's even worse is that when Zhao Sanlazy woke up from the nightmare, he looked up and saw that it was full of stones, and the holes in the city gate were almost blocked, half a person high.
Hardly any of the houses in the city were good, they were all smashed to pieces.
"Do the officers and soldiers want to fill in the Sword Gate City with stones?" Zhao Sanlazy thought of this possibility, and his heart was shocked.
At the same time, Mo Wuyan and 10,000 people finally rushed to a dozen miles outside Jianmen City. Looking up from a distance, Jianmen City was still holding the banner of the Dajin Kingdom, and it didn't seem to have been lost.
"Go tell Zhao Sanlazy and let him come out to greet the official." Mo Wuyan said to one of his subordinates.
The subordinate agreed, and the horse ran towards Jianmen City. But halfway through the race, a stone fell from the sky and fell directly on him, and even the people and horses fell to the ground, and he couldn't die anymore.
Mo Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately became furious.
Is this Zhao Sanlazy so arrogant? How dare you directly smash the subordinates you sent over to death?
Mo Wuyan, who was furious, immediately led his soldiers to gallop wildly and rushed towards Jianmen City. However, because it was uphill, the horse had no strength halfway through the run, so he had to slow down and continue to go up.
When he was only two or three miles away from Jianmen City, Mo Wuyan suddenly waved his hand to stop his follow-up subordinates and continue to advance.
He had already sensed that something was wrong.
