Chapter 370: Giant*

It is said that Chen Longyi explained Yan Liang and made a three-day appointment with him. Whether it was a ten-day appointment with Guo Tu or a three-day bet with Yan Liang, the focus was on the siege of Yecheng in the short term.

Chen Long was also helpless, only had to fight hard and prepare to attack everything. At this time, like sending charcoal in the snow, Guan Yu Chitu Ma Hongyun sent a shocking good news, Guo Jia brought a boat* to the front line of Yecheng to help.

* It is not easy to develop and produce, with the great geniuses of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, over the years, there is only this boat of black fire. However, at this moment, these black flames were enough to blow the two southeast gates of Yecheng into pieces.

As for the subsequent street battles, Chen Long was not worried at all, as long as his soldiers poured into Yecheng, Yuan Shao's hundred officials would naturally encourage Yuan Shao to retreat to Handan on the northern line, and would definitely not insist on coexisting with Yecheng.

The goal now is how to smoothly bury the black fire under the city gate and detonate it in full tomorrow morning. I believe that Guo Jia is also thinking about the same topic at the East City Gate. But with Guo Jia's intelligence, I believe that he will have more ways than himself. Chen Long knew that the necessary offensive cover was still necessary, and in the first wave of attack, Chen Long decided to personally lead the team and observe the terrain of the city gate by the way.

The cloud echelon was in the center, and the infantry sword and shield soldiers were divided into two parts, with the catapult in the front, and two simple rushing carts, which were pushed to the front of the large array. Chen Long escorted the archers first, the drums of the whole army paused, and Zhou Budo and Tai Shici pressed the formation behind, each leading a soldier and horse to stand still as a replacement. In this fierce attack, it is said that it will not stop day and night, so it is natural to divide the troops to rotate and rest.

In the south of Yecheng, there are a few villages, and the rest are farmland, and a hard dirt road leads directly to the south gate. Seeing that the terrain was flat, Chen Long suppressed his position three miles outside Yecheng, set up his troops, and ordered the drums of war to be beaten.

The drums of war sounded, and I saw the soldiers on the city wall running endlessly, densely packed with knives and guns, and colorful flags fluttering, and they were really neatly prepared. Chen Long secretly said in his heart: "Tomorrow morning, I will let you all fall into the dust." The more soldiers on the wall, the happier a certain family is. While secretly having fun, he ordered the catapults to avoid the farmland, and lined them up in about two and a half miles, and each catapult was filled with large and small stones on its side. Naturally, this is the theoretical range of the improvised catapult, and it is just outside the range of the archers on the city walls.

The archers spread out in columns, the infantry carried ladders through the gaps of the archers, and the men pushed carts full of dirt and followed the archers, ready to fill the moat. Chen Long rode to the front line to observe, only to see that the suspension bridge was towering, the city wall was very tall, the width of the moat reached dozens of meters, and the wide area of the plain that could be impacted was only 100 meters.

On the city wall, behind the battlements, swords and guns are like forests, arrows are like rain, steel helmets and iron armor are shining with sunlight, and a big Yuan character is written on several large flags. There are also a few erected cauldrons, billowing black smoke, obviously asphalt and oil, which are extremely lethal against rushing cars and ladders. Behind the battlements at the top of the arrow towers on the left and right, you can also see two bed crossbows, which are condescendingly shining with metallic luster, which looks extremely powerful, and are undoubtedly the biggest threat to long-range catapults.

Several houses 100 meters away from the city wall have long been empty, Chen Long made a temporary command post, with an order, the sound of war drums turned into a fierce and energetic Yue, the whole army immediately moved forward to the opponent's range, and stacked shields in the front to prevent bed crossbows from hurting people. The sound of the drum changed again, and the catapult formation was ordered, and immediately the sound of a squeaky winch entered the ear drum, and the sound of jumping was everywhere, and then the boulder flew all over the sky, heading straight to the top of the city.

The first boulder landed on the outer edge of the battlement, and immediately exploded into powder, and the rubble continued to gain momentum, and immediately splashed the soldiers behind the battlements all over their faces. Immediately after the boulder entered Yecheng, the city wall, the arrow tower, and even the houses in the city were all hit by the boulder, and the arrow tower went to the bed crossbow, and immediately began to counterattack, the giant crossbow was everywhere, and the Black Mountain army was also turned over on their backs, and ordinary shields could not stop the giant crossbow at all.

Each side attacked with long-range weapons for about a quarter of an hour, and Chen Longming blew the horn of attack. Immediately the whining sounded, and the archers immediately dispersed, and under the cover of the shieldmen, they began to fire non-stop at the head of the city, suppressing the fire, and then the infantry began to attack, and the ladder men and bulldozers let out an earth-shattering roar, passed through the gaps of the archers, and pushed the carts straight into the moat. Many soldiers and carts were shot overturned by bed crossbows and strung into a string of gourds, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

In a short time, the infantry of the Montenegrin army had already crossed the moat, began to climb the wall like ants, the archers stopped firing, and began the most tragic siege battle. Chen Long could only ignore the screams of Bing Yong, and ordered the special forces to send people to quickly cut the rope of the suspension bridge and put down the suspension bridge. As the drawbridge fell, two rushing cars, Chen Long ordered one to step forward and take advantage of the opportunity of the army to attack the city and approach the city gate. At the front of the cart was a thick hanging log, wrapped in cowhide, under which the soldiers were hidden, not afraid of fire. Unexpectedly, as soon as the rushing car arrived at the city, the boulder on it fell one after another, and the rushing car was smashed when it landed, and the soldiers under the car instantly turned into fried meat puree.

Long Chen shook his head slightly, it seems that the enemy is very careful to guard the city gate, and he has already set up a protective trap. It would take a lot of work to bury * under the city gates. Looking at the remaining rushing car, Chen Long's heart moved, if the giant wood was hollowed out and filled*, even if it was smashed by the door, could it be regarded as buried*?

The first wave of siege troops threw down many corpses, and the second wave of troops commanded by Tai Shici followed, obviously there were a lot fewer rocks and rolling logs on the city, and the bed crossbow was still constantly exerting its power, and it was obvious that there were a lot of reserves of giant crossbows. In this way, the attack took turns, and night finally fell.

The night is the best cover, and under the cover of waves of attacks during the day, Chen Long has already arranged to hollow out the giant wood, fill the holes and gaps in the wood, and rush the giant wood hanging in the car to become a giant*. The fuse looped out from under the giant tree and coiled for nearly fifty meters, giving the person who lit the fuse plenty of time to escape.

Chen Long remembered Xu You's family, he had promised Xu You to rescue his family before the city was broken, and once Xu You's family was killed before the city was broken, he would lose Xu You's trust. Tonight was the last night before the city was broken, Chen Long arranged for Lu Chang to go to Xicheng to arrange for the city to be climbed, and handed over the task of lighting the fuse to the second group of rushing members, and in fact, several drills were carried out to ensure that nothing went wrong.
