Jing Cui saw that there were already soldiers climbing the earthen wall, and immediately said:

"Order, the archers stepped forward to suppress the Qi army camp."

"Order, the pulley stepped forward and shot the Qi archers."

"Order, rush forward and storm the earthen wall of Qiying."

"Order, let the second team carry the earth and stones, and build soil outside the camp wall."

"Order, the second echelon is ready to attack, and it is necessary to maintain the offensive of the Qi army."

With the bow battalion moving forward, the Chu army once again appeared with three siege weapons, in addition to the chariot that had appeared before, there was also a long rushing cart and a high pulley.

Underneath the chariot were wheels to push and slide away, above were two rows of wooden curtains sloping on both sides to protect against arrows and stones, and in the middle was a large section of wood to ram the gates.

As for the pulley, there are also wheels underneath, and on the wheels are four pillars more than three feet high, and on the top of the pillars hang a wooden frame, inside which are archers, which are used to shoot from a high position.

The so-called pulley is a wooden frame that can be slid up and down with wheels and ropes.

Seeing that the Chu army came to reinforce them, especially the rushing cars and pulleys, Doctor Ju said coldly: "Order, speed up the charcoal burning, and prepare to set fire." ”

"Order, prepare the transfer machine and bed crossbow, concentrate on attacking the pulley, raise a wooden curtain on the wall directly opposite the pulley, and intercept the shots of the Chu archers."

"In addition, give orders to the slinging troops, listen to the order, and concentrate on throwing the pulley."

"No."

Soon, a man from a high platform in the Qi camp watched: "General, the chariots of the Chu army have begun to build a slope under the wall. ”

Doctor Ju's face remained unchanged when he heard this: "Order, let the scouts watching on the high platforms everywhere take a closer look, mark the location of all the slopes, mobilize troops, and prepare to kill the Chu army that built the slopes." ”

"No."

Jing Cui watched from behind, and when he saw the catapult of the Qi army, he destroyed a block in a few rounds of projection, and immediately said hatefully: "Damn, the power of the catapult is too great, and the tress can't bear it." ”

Then he ordered: "Order, order the catapult to come forward." ”

The adjutant general on the side said: "General, now our army is attacking the city, the catapult projection distance is too close, and there is a high wall opposite, I am afraid that our army will be injured by mistake..."

Jing Cui thought for a while and said: "It's okay, if the stones are too heavy, then use the old method of the car, throw charcoal fire into the city from a distance, and after our army suppresses the Qi army, throw stones close to the Qi camp." ”

"No..."

······

The sun rises in the east, rises to the middle of the sky, and then gradually moves westward, and another day passes as the sun is about to set.

Standing behind the Chu army, looking at the Chu army in front of him still fighting bloodily, Xiong Huai couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "The art of war is cloudy: ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple are fighting, Sun Tzu is honest and does not deceive me." ”

The Chu army and the Qi army fought a bloody battle for a day, and the losses were not small, but they did not even take a section of the earthen wall.

Doctor Shangguan said indignantly on the side: "King, Kuang Zhangpifu has an army of more than 300,000 people, but he avoids it without fighting, and this kind of behavior is vain to be a famous general of the Qi country. ”

Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Doctor Shang doesn't need to say anything, let's go back." ”

Night.

After Jing Cui returned, Xiong Huai asked, "Zhuguo, the widow wants to ask how the siege is progressing. ”

Jing Cui arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, the minister has already built ten dirt slopes outside the Qi camp wall, according to today's process, as long as it takes another three to five days, then the earth slope can be built to the same height as the Qi camp earth wall, and then the advantage of the Qi camp high wall will be wiped out, and it will be much easier to attack the Qi camp." ”

“···” Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and said, "What Qing means is that it will take three to five days to build the soil slope to the same height as the Qiying earth wall?" ”

Seeing Jingcui nodded, Xiong Huai was stunned and said, "Why is the speed so slow!" ”

When Jing Cui heard King Chu's questioning, his eyebrows furrowed, and he stayed where he was.

This...

Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan explained: "Great King, the soil is higher in Vietnam, and it takes three to five days, which is already very fast, if it weren't for the earthen wall of Qi Ying, which is only one zhang high, I'm afraid it will take even longer." If it is a city wall as high as several zhang in the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, I am afraid that even the soil slope will not be built. ”

This...

Well, I'm the king of Chu, who am I afraid of!

Xiong Huai paced back and forth in the camp for a few laps, and said, "What does the widow mean, why do our Chu army want to build a slope under the eyes and nose of the Qi army?" Our casualties are too great to be inflicted on the alignment forces. ”

"So, we can make a wooden, no, bamboo slope and move it to Qiying, so that there will be fewer casualties in the slope building soon?"

Jingcui Tang Gongsun Yan was stunned.

This...

The three of them looked at each other, why didn't there be such a thing?

Before the three of them could speak, Deng Lingguang, who had been acting as the guard of the King of Chu, spoke: "King, this kind of thing was conceived by our Mo family when we were discussing the defense of the city before, but because the flaws are too big, I think that this kind of thing looks powerful, but it is actually very inconvenient. ”

Xiong Huai turned his head to Deng Lingguang and asked, "Have you ever made such a thing?" ”

Deng Lingguang shook his head and said: "Back to the king, the Mo family is good at defending the city, but if you want to defend the city, you must first study the siege, when my Mo family ancestor Mozi was alive, it happened to be at the same time as Lu Ban, Lu Ban is the only skilled craftsman in the world, and has invented a large number of siege weapons, I..."

Deng Lingguang suddenly stopped when he said this, realizing that something was wrong.

Lu Ban was the minister of Chu, and the weapons he invented were all for the Chu army, and the invention competition between Mozi and Lu Ban ended with Mozi's heyday, but at that time, the Chu State must have hated Mozi to death.

So much so that he even had the idea of killing Mozi, but this idea was finally dispelled by Mozi's many disciples.

What Deng Lingguang was thinking about, Xiong Huai naturally knew: "Although Qing said, hundreds of years have passed, and the widow will not care." ”

Deng Lingguang saluted: "King, at that time, Lu Ban was very intelligent, all kinds of inventions emerged in an endless stream, at that time, only Mozi could be better than it, in order to deal with Lu Ban, my Mo family sages in order to suppress Lu Ban, also studied the siege, for this reason, a large number of siege weapons were invented in advance, in order to prepare defensive weapons in advance, including this kind of bamboo slope." ”

Xiong Huai asked with concern, "How is the effect?" ”

Deng Lingguang shook his head and said: "You can't use a small city, you can't use a big city, and you can't use it to attack the camp!" ”

Xiong Huai: "······"

Deng Lingguang explained: "Great king, ordinary small cities, such as Zhongwu City, generally do not have a large army stationed, so the army attacks the city, and as soon as it rushes up, the city will be broken, and there is no need for bamboo slope at all." ”

"And, a large city, the city is high and the pool is deep, and the bamboo slope must be made high and large, so that the bamboo slope is too big to be lifted."

"As for the large military camps, they are generally selected in places with dangerous terrain and cannot be transported."

Tang Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Add wheels!" ”

Deng Lingguang shook his head: "In addition, although the wheels are easy to move, the weight of the bamboo slope has not been reduced, not only the hardness and flatness of the land are extremely high, but also the movement is slow, and because it is made of bamboo, it is also easy to be attacked by fire." ”

“···”

Gongsun Yan laughed: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." ”

Jingcui Tang Yu then bowed and said, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!" ”

Xiong Huai laughed and said: "Providence, providence, if the Qi army is in Tancheng, the widow naturally has no choice, but this Zhongwu City, the widow wants it." ”

After laughing, Xiong Huai shook his head again and said: "Zhupo's defects are too big, it can only be used for raids, if you use it once, I'm afraid it will be targeted, the widow will leave it to Kuang Zhang to make a surprise, I hope Kuang Zhang can give the widow a face..."

"Zhuguo, the rescue of the Qi army is handed over to you."

Jing Cui saluted and said, "The minister receives the order!" ”

On the second day, Jing Cui still commanded the army to attack the city...

What Xiong Huai didn't expect was that the siege of the city was far more difficult than imagined, even if the earth slope was built, the Qi army did not have the advantage of the earth wall, and the Chu army was still fiercely resisted by the Qi army defending the camp.

Half a month later, after repeated impact repairs, the Chu army's first earthen wall finally smashed a big gap, and the first line of defense of the Qi army was broken.

After another ten days, the second line of defense was broken through again...
