Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 254 Please go down the mountain
Shangguan Xiu looked at the Chengfeng army under the mountain, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new catapult.
Catapults are used in siege, throwing stones from under the city to the city walls, that is, from the bottom to the top. But now, they are going to destroy the machine gun crew of the Wind Army with catapults, but they are throwing stones from high to low.
Therefore, he did not know that in order for the trebuchet to complete the stone throwing from high to low, the catapult needs to be adjusted.
As the catapults arrived, he told the soldiers to move the stones as soon as possible while the Chengfeng army attacked the mountain.
The eldest grandson, Mingyue, looked at the sun in the sky and muttered, "Mingwei is almost here, right?" ”
"The first battalion is the vanguard, and the second battalion to the seventh battalion is to follow, ready to go up the mountain!" She ordered.
This time, it can be said that they are pouring out their bags, and there are only 500 people from the 8th Battalion around them.
The eldest grandson Mingwei proposed a third plan to attack the mountain, and after listening to it, she immediately agreed, so the eldest grandson Mingwei quietly left with a thousand people.
Seeing the shield soldiers of the Chengfeng Army stepping forward again, Shangguan Xiu frowned, guessing in his heart that it seemed that the other party was planning to attack the mountain.
"General, the other party has attacked the mountain." The lieutenant general spoke.
Shangguan Xiu gave him a burst on the head, "You want you to say, can't General Ben see it?" Let the catapult prepare! ”

The first battalion of the Chengfeng Army formed a formation and stepped forward in unison, and the other six battalions followed, rushing up the hill with great vigour.
When the Chengfeng army entered the attack range of the catapult, Shangguan Xiu immediately ordered, "Catapult, smash that group of shield soldiers to General Ben!" ”
So the catapult began to load stones and threw them at the first battalion. Several large stones fell from the sky, flew over the heads of the soldiers of the Chengfeng Army, and smashed behind the Chengfeng Army, and none of them smashed into the military formation.
When Shangguan Xiu saw the first round of stone-throwing, he was so angry that he scolded and shouted: "What are you doing? Didn't you say that the new trebuchets were very accurate? Haven't hit a single piece yet? ”
The captain who dispatched the trebuchet had discovered the problem when he was throwing the stones, and now the Chengfeng army was about 300 steps away from the top of the mountain, and they also adjusted the strength and direction of the trebuchets to a distance of 300 steps.
However, they ignore whether the rocks are thrown from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, or if the distance is 300 paces, the stones thrown will fall farther.
He couldn't find the reason for a while, and hurriedly replied: "General, it was the last general's miscalculation, please give us a little more time, and we will readjust immediately." ”
"Don't hurry up! If you can't do it, General Ben will put your head on top of it! ”
The lieutenant nodded again and again, and said nervously: "Yes, yes, yes!" The end will do it now! ”
It didn't take long for the lieutenant to finally find the reason and readjust the trebuchet, and at his command, the trebuchet threw stones again.
After this adjustment, the stone quickly smashed into the army of the Chengfeng Army.
However, the people of the Chengfeng Army are at least the people who are above the triple level of the day after tomorrow, and they can dodge the attack of the stone in time.
Only the shield soldiers of the first battalion held large shields, and it was difficult to dodge the stones thrown by the trebuchet, how could the human body withstand such a large stone falling from the sky and smashing on their bodies, and soon the soldiers of the first battalion suffered casualties.
"General, it's useful, it's useful!" The lieutenant next to him said excitedly.
Seeing that this time it hit a lot of people, and because of this round of stone throwing, the shield soldiers suffered casualties, making them unable to advance further.
Shangguan Xiu was very relieved in his heart, there was finally something that could hurt the attacking Chengfeng army.
However, his expression immediately became solemn again, and he thought to himself, "Why don't you see that fire-breathing monster?" ”
"Hu Yuansong!"
"General, what's wrong?" The lieutenant behind him leaned over and asked.
"Did you spot that fire-breathing monster?" Shangguan Xiu searched among the Chengfeng Army, but did not find a machine gun cart.
The lieutenant general looked at the battlefield, shook his head, and said, "General, the last general has not found out." ”
"You keep an eye on General Ben, and once you find that fire-breathing monster, let the catapult quickly smash it for me!"
"Yes!"
There was a constant stream of stones on the mountain, and they could continue to throw stones every few moments, and after they were thrown into the Chengfeng army, they would roll down the hillside, and many people were injured.
Seeing that the Chengfeng army attacking the mountain had a steady stream of casualties, and there was no way to continue to move forward, Xuanyuan was a little anxious, and said to the eldest grandson Mingyue: "Young patriarch, it can't go on like this, the lethality of Shangguan Xiu's catapult is too great, if it continues, it won't reach the top of the mountain at all." ”
The eldest grandson Mingyue naturally knew that looking at the Chengfeng Army that was repulsed on the hillside, there was a solemnity in her eyes, and she didn't expect that Shangguan Xiu would be able to use local materials, and the casualties of this catapult to the Chengfeng Army were indeed very large.
"Mingyi!"
"Young Patriarch, what are your orders?" Behind her, a female general with a sniper rifle on her back walked up to her.
"Mingyi, Shangguan Xiu's catapult is too accurate, and it will cause a lot of casualties if it continues like this, now I will give you a task to kill those soldiers who control the catapult, can you do it?"
The eldest grandson Mingyi frowned, "Young patriarch, they are far away on the top of the mountain, and it is unlikely that they will be sniped." ”
"Can't?" A look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Mingyue, if they couldn't solve these catapults, then it would be difficult for them to attack the mountain.
"Then the young patriarch, let me try?" The eldest grandson Mingyi pondered for a moment and said.
Now they were more than 300 paces away from the top of the mountain, and although they were within the effective range of a sniper rifle, they had never tried to snipe from the bottom up.
Sure enough, the eldest grandson Mingyi called ten snipers to snipe and kill the soldiers who controlled the catapult, but none of them failed. Even if their bullets hit the top of the mountain, their hit rate and lethality were much less.
They don't have superb sniper skills like Xu Xiang, and they don't even pay attention to the direction of the wind at all, they just shoot with the scope when they aim at the soldiers on the top of the mountain, but it has no effect.
And the soldiers of the catapults on the top of the mountain continued to throw stones into the Chengfeng army one by one.
"Mingwei, Mingwei, you have to hurry up." Eldest Sun Mingyue watched as the casualties of the Chengfeng Army were getting more and more, but it was not yet time to retreat, so she could not order Mingjin to withdraw his troops for the time being.
"Kill!" At this moment, there was a shout of killing behind them, and thousands of cavalry attacked, immediately disrupting their formation.
"Retreat! Fall back! The eldest grandson Mingyue immediately shouted loudly, and then the herald beat the golden drum.
Hearing the sound of drums, the Chengfeng army on the hillside quickly retreated, and the stones of the catapult fell into the air again.
The Chengfeng army converged and fled frantically to the west, and along the way, they lost their armor and were torn apart, and they were extremely embarrassed.
"Hu Yuansong? What is the banner of this cavalry? Shangguan Xiu asked in surprise when he saw the cavalry that suddenly attacked behind the Chengfeng Army.
"General, it seems to be the banner of Heyuan Mansion! Could it be that Heyuan Mansion has sent reinforcements? ”
"Impossible, Chen Qian, a timid and fearful bastard, dares to send troops over?" Shangguan Xiu questioned.
"How is it impossible, although Chen Qian is timid and afraid, but our Instrument Academy and Heyuan Mansion are each other's horns, if we are attacked, he will not come, and the king will definitely reprimand him at that time. Moreover, he did not see the strength of the enemy, thinking that there were not many people, and it was reasonable to send troops over. ”
Shangguan Xiu listened to his analysis and nodded slightly, now that the catapult could no longer attack the Chengfeng Army, it was useless to throw stones again, so he ordered to stop throwing stones.
Xuanyuan Ding rode a horse, and Zhai Yin ran at the forefront with the dragon flag.
"Young Patriarch, did you say that Shangguan will be fooled?" Xuanyuan Ding asked as he ran.
"It should be, Shangguan Xiu saw that our army was in chaos, it was a good opportunity!"
The cavalry that had come out from behind them began to pursue them, and one of the cavalrymen of fifty men headed in the direction of the hill.
"General Shangguan, I am the tun chief under General Chen Zhi of Heyuan Mansion, and General Chen was ordered to support the Instrument Academy. The enemy army is in chaos in front of us, and it is a good time to break the enemy, please send troops to support my general immediately! The cavalry man at the head shouted to the top of the hill.
When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he looked down the hillside and asked, "Is your general Chen Zhi?" ”
"That's right! Don't miss the opportunity, please General Shangguan quickly send troops to support! ”
"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Xiu responded, then glanced at the lieutenants and lieutenants beside him, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"General, is this a fraud? They have already thrown the enemy's formation into chaos, and they are completely able to eat these 5,000 people by themselves, so why do they ask you to go down the mountain to support? One of the generals spoke.
This is also Shangguan Xiu's doubt, he doesn't really want to send troops in his heart.
"General, that's Xuanyuan Ding, if you capture him and hand him over to the king, then you will have made a great achievement!" Adjutant General Hu Yuansong said.
"But......" He was vaguely worried in his heart, after all, the fire-breathing monster had never appeared, which made him still a little vigilant in his heart.
"General Shangguan, have you discussed it? If the apparatus hospital doesn't want to support, then talk to the villain. The villain went over to deal with General Chen, and by the way, he collected a few heads to add some military exploits to himself. The fifty-man cavalry at the foot of the hill seemed to be waiting impatiently, and urged.
Hearing the words "war merits", a touch of greed flashed in Shangguan Xiu's eyes.
He himself is a member of the Shangguan family in Ningdu, and he was transferred to the place of Heyuan Mansion, and his military exploits are far away from him, and now the opportunity is in front of him, which makes him very excited.
"It's done!" Shangguan Xiu gritted his teeth, seeking wealth and danger.
After speaking, he ordered, "Hu Yuansong, take 2,000 people to pursue the enemy with this general, and the remaining 2,000 people and catapults must be on the mountain to prevent the enemy from having reinforcements!" ”
After going down the mountain, he saw the cavalry commander, so he asked about Chen Zhi of Heyuan Mansion, and the commander replied like a stream, exactly the same as Chen Zhi he knew, and put down the last stone in his heart.
"General, the direction of Xuanyuan's running is Zihu, this place is flat, General Chen should be able to break them all up. They came over, and they didn't know who this army was, so our goal was to find Xuanyuan Ding directly, as long as Xuanyuan Ding was caught, his soldiers didn't have to worry about it at all! On the way, Hu Yuansong gave him a suggestion.
"Not bad!" Shangguan Xiu nodded, "Later, let's go directly to Xuanyuan." ”
"General, with the speed of cavalry, you should be able to easily catch up with those foot soldiers of Xuanyuan Ding, right? However, they have not caught up, as if they are deliberately maintaining such a distance, deliberately waiting for us. A lieutenant questioned.
"Go, go, you know? Chen Qian was timid and afraid, and before he asked Chen Zhi to send troops to support us, he must have instructed him to preserve his strength. Otherwise, why did Chen Zhi let us go over to chase the enemy army? Hu Qingsong stepped forward and pushed the lieutenant away and analyzed.
Shangguan Xiu nodded, he still knew very well about Chen Qian, the government commander of Heyuan Mansion, and it was not surprising that he could do such a thing.
It didn't take long for them to finally catch up with Xuanyuanding, and the cavalry team circled to Xuanyuanding's flank, leaving the Chengfeng army with no way to retreat, while Shangguan Xiu blocked their retreat.
Now Xuanyuan Ding has no way to escape, so he can only stop in front of Zihu.
Shangguan Xiu took the men and horses to look at Xuanyuan Ding, who was cornered, and felt happy in his heart, it won't be long before he can capture Xuanyuan Ding.
When he thought that he could catch Xuanyuan Ding, it was for Zhongshan National to make such a great achievement, and his heart was very happy.
"Xuanyuan, you have no way to escape! Surrender! Shangguan Xiu said loudly, and ordered the archers to point the arrows at Xuanyuan Ding.
Xuanyuan Ding turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers of the first battalion of the Chengfeng Army protected him to prevent Shangguan Xiu from releasing arrows.
"Shangguan Xiu, this should be what I said to you!" A smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyuanding's mouth, and he didn't have any fluster.
"Hmph, you are now surrounded by General Ben and General Chen, and you still say such big things, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Archers, prepare! ”
"Where is the machine gun team?" Xuanyuan Ding's eldest grandson, Ming Yuelang, snorted.
On both sides of the road, there was movement among the weeds, and then several carts appeared from the weeds.
"Fire-breathing monsters! More than one? Shangguan Xiu's face changed, and he said why he hadn't seen these monsters all along, it turned out that Xuanyuan had hidden them here a long time ago.
"General Chen! These fire-breathing monsters of the enemy army are very powerful, please General Chen quickly charge and kill these monsters, otherwise we will all have to finish the game! Shangguan Xiu looked at the side of the cavalry and said with a hint of expectation.
Although he felt that this fire-breathing monster was very powerful, it was better than not being able to move, and if he charged with cavalry as fast as the wind, he might be able to kill the people on the cart, and they still had a chance to live.
However, the cavalry did not move at all, and stood silently in place.
"General Chen?" Shangguan Xiu had a very ominous premonition in his heart that he might be planted here.
The leader of the cavalry slowly took off the helmet on his head, and a strand of long hair slipped down the top of his head, and the leader of the cavalry was actually a woman.
The woman was the eldest grandson Mingwei, she shook her head slightly, straightened out the long hair that had slipped down, and then pointed her spear at Shangguan Xiu.
"Roar!" Behind her there was a neat cheer, and the spears were pointed at Shangguan Xiu's soldiers in unison.
"Fooled!" Shangguan Xiu was overshadowed and sat on the ground weakly.
