Chapter 712: Battle of Xiangyang (1)
Xiangyang City!
"General, something is wrong! None of the masters who went to ambush the Great Zhou Emperor last night came back! ”
Suddenly, a leader who was outside the city to meet the masters ran back.
Xiang Yan chuckled in her heart when she heard this, and her mind was also a little trance-like.
Glancing at the sky outside the window, it was noon.
How can it be calculated, the more than 100 masters who went to ambush Ye Qing should also come back.
Four six-pins.
Four five-pins.
Four four pins.
Such a plastic surgery is never more gorgeous than ever.
Last year's attack on the Great Zhou Chang'an did not bring so many masters.
It's not a failure, and there is nothing to lose.
None of them came back.
That's weird.
"Go, go find it immediately, go to the ambush point! Fast! ”
"It's the general!"
Soon the leader went down, and took some masters outside the city towards Atou Mountain.
As soon as they entered the mountain, they felt something strange in the mountain.
There is no ambush yet.
It's the smell of blood wafting from the mountains, which is too strong.
Halfway up the mountain, a wooden sign tree was there.
It reads - Guillotine Mountain!
Three big words.
Ah, head mountain, how did it become a guillotine mountain.
Cautiously walked up a little further, and there was a small flat ground.
On the flat ground, there were countless corpses.
The owners of the corpses were all dressed in the costumes of Chu Yueguo.
The weapon was wrapped in coagulated blood clots, and the scene was a mess.
"It's ......"
"All dead! Even a few Supreme Lords died in battle! ”
"Oh my God, how did Da Zhou do it, could it be that they dispatched ten supremes, otherwise how could they do it so ......?"
The message was sent back to Xiangyang City after dark.
After Xiang Yan listened, her body stumbled a few times.
"It's over, Xiangyang City can't be saved!"
More than a hundred masters, just like that, are all gone.
This is the backbone.
Aside from military strength, the most important force guarding Xiangyang.
That's it.
"Knowing that it is a trap, we are still fooled, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, the Great Zhou Emperor is too terrifying, and the Great Zhou is too strong!"
Although I don't know how Ye Qing eliminated a master group of more than a hundred people, but to be able to wrap up such a master group, the number of masters that need to be dispatched is definitely a terrifying number.
How could the previously weak Da Zhou be so strong.
Xiang Yan couldn't figure it out.
So he suddenly lost confidence in defending the city, and even his confidence in Chu Yueguo became smaller and smaller.
It is very likely that the Chu Yue Kingdom will really decline, and it will even be destroyed by the Great Zhou.
The Great Zhou military camp outside the city.
After Di Qing learned the news, he was surprised and delighted.
His Majesty the omnipotent Emperor actually wiped out so many masters of Chu Yue Kingdom.
This time, the resistance to attack the Xiangyang people is getting smaller and smaller.
"Inform the Dao to go down, attack the city tomorrow, all departments can rest assured and boldly attack, Your Majesty helped us kill the four six-pins, four five-pins, four four-pins of Chu Yue Kingdom, there are not many masters of Chu Yue Kingdom in the city!"
When the following groups received the news, they were so excited that they almost didn't sleep all night.
It's finally time to really attack Xiangyang City.
With His Majesty the Great Emperor here, their Great Zhou's troops will not end.
Early the next morning.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou had breakfast.
began to push the ordnance towards the north gate of Xiangyang City.
The number of trebuchets and bed crossbows more than doubled the previous day.
There are also wells that are also being pushed.
There are pulleys underneath the shaft, which move a little slower, but not with much effort.
It was invented by Mozi, and he is now personally supervising the work.
Mozi also invented the Chongcha, an armored siege tower with a hideous appearance.
It can be used to destroy gates and walls.
There is also a Hao Bridge.
The length of the bridge is subject to Hao, there are two big wheels in front of the bridge, and there are two small wheels behind it.
If it is wide, then use a folding bridge, that is, connect the two bridges, and there is a hinge in the middle, and the usage is the same.
Mozi came into play with a sword and commanded all the large ordnance to move forward.
Very proud.
Mozi has four qualities.
Therefore, not only can you protect yourself, but also kill the enemy.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou were also shocked by these novel and fierce-looking weapons.
A sense of pride arose, and I was more confident in this siege battle.
On the wall of the broken north city gate, Xiang Yan, under the protection of a group of masters, came to the front line very dedicatedly.
Looking at the Great Zhou soldiers who were slowly advancing outside the city, Xiang Yan looked serious and frowned.
The face is tense.
The other generals of the Chu Yue Kingdom showed a hint of fear.
His eyes flickered.
"Da Zhou has dispatched new ordnance, and it looks even more powerful than its trebuchet and bed crossbow!"
"This time they are really here, and I'm afraid the north city gate won't be able to hold it."
Just when everyone was muttering.
Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky behind the Great Zhou Army and said:
"Look, what's that?"
Everyone looked up one after another, only to see more than a dozen black dots moving slowly in the distance.
"One, two, three...... Twenty! ”
Twenty black dots, slowly coming this way.
From small to large, it is becoming clearer and clearer.
Soon flew into the sky of the North City Gate.
"Not good! This is the trap bird of Da Zhou! ”
Quite a few people are at a loss.
What is a trap bird.
Someone knowingly explained:
"I heard that when the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still the King of Xiaoyao, he went to Shu and offered a sacred bird, which is a trap bird, which is made of wood and can fly in circles with the help of force."
"What? And this kind of thing exists! ”
Many people heard about it for the first time, and they were all shocked.
The supreme of the six products can only fly on the grass and leap a certain distance with the help of their own strength.
None of them can actually fly to the sky.
And Da Zhou actually has this kind of ordnance that can easily go to the sky.
It's terrifying.
"Da Zhou, it's getting more and more mysterious, we can't understand it!" Xiang Yan sighed, then her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly said:
"Quick, inform all the armies in the city to pay attention to the sky, so that the masters of the Great Zhou will descend from the sky and attack the important strongholds in the city!"
"And the generals should pay attention, be careful not to be targeted by the masters of the Great Zhou, and be beheaded!"
I have to say that Xiang Yan is indeed a capable cadre.
The response was quick.
There is a strong sense of crisis.
However, the bird of the Great Zhou has no intention of coming down.
Just flew over Xiangyang City, checked the situation in the city, and then turned back and flew back, and probed again.
Only then did he fall into Da Zhou's camp.
The information obtained was quickly summarized and sorted out by Guo Jia personally.
Only then did I make some constructive comments.
Ye Qing glanced at it and said, "Give it to Di Qing, leave this battle to him to fight, and he will take the idea." ”
Soon Di Qing got the information in the city, and after reading it, he had another draft in his heart, and then drew his sword:
"Siege!"
The pounding drum sounded.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty really began to attack the city.
Trebuchet, start the first round of blows.
The bed crossbow has also started to go into crazy mode.
Torture the North City Gate again.
"Withdraw! Withdraw all troops from the North City Gate. ”
In the face of Da Zhou's more crazy bombardment and strong shooting.
Xiang Yan knew that he couldn't stop the army of the Great Zhou, so he had to reduce casualties as the goal, and ordered the direct withdrawal of all the soldiers on the northern city wall.
