Chapter 271: The Stone Cart's Battlefield Shows Its Might
But he said that at the same time, outside the east gate of Chencang City, in the night sky where he couldn't see his five fingers, there was a sudden sound of "ding ding ding".
The frightened bird-like soldier Dong Zhuojun trembled violently. Some of them were a little bold, poking their heads out of the battlements to see what was going on. Those who were timid hid directly behind the city walls, trembling silently.
Some of the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun, who had already rested, hurriedly looked for their weapons the moment they woke up, as if the Liangzhou army had already been killed!
Under such a silent night sky, such a sound, coming from the air at first glance, is indeed a little terrifying.
The sound of "ding, ding, ding, clanging", like a blunt hammer, hit the hearts of Dong Zhuo's soldiers one by one, torturing them endlessly.
For a while, Zhang Xiu didn't know what the Liangzhou Army outside the city was doing. Zhang Xiu didn't dare to let the soldiers go out of the city to investigate, so he had to order the soldiers to throw the torches in their hands in the direction where the sound came from.
Through the faint light of the torches, Zhang Xiu vaguely saw that groups of soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were tinkering with rows of wooden shelves. Come to think of it, it should be the siege equipment of the Liangzhou army!
Just when Zhang Xiu was puzzled, the soldiers from the south, north, and west gates of Chen Cangcheng also came to explain the situation to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu didn't have a plan in his chest, so he had to order the soldiers to guard the four gates.
Today, Lu Bu returned defeated, and Dong Min's heart sank to the bottom, and there was no longer any hope of breaking out of the city. At this time, Dong Min, who was in despair, was in his own tent, drunk and dreaming of death!
This "ding-ding-clang" sound lasted until the next day, when it was ugly, and then gradually stopped. Zhang Xiu once again reminded the soldiers to cheer up and defend the city. Immediately, Zhang Xiu rested against the city wall!
"Ah...... My legs ......"
"Ah...... My waist ......"......
As soon as the time came, heart-rending sounds rang out one after another.
Zhang Xiu stood up violently, and suddenly, a boulder flew towards him. Zhang Xiu hurriedly dodged away, but was already shocked into a cold sweat.
"The whole army obeys the order, don't panic, hide under the female wall!"
Although Zhang Xiu dodged the boulder, a soldier behind him was smashed into meat sauce. Zhang Xiu secretly touched the cold sweat on his face, and shouted in shock.
Zhang Xiu's general order saved the lives of some soldiers, but it was also temporary. Because, after continuing to throw stones for a quarter of an hour, the Liangzhou army began to roar and attack the city!
Zhang Xiu, you can let the soldiers hide under the women's wall and hide from the boulders; However, can you ignore the siege of the Liangzhou soldiers? You, don't dare and can't!
The soldiers of the Liangzhou army did not start the siege at the first time when the stone truck threw stones. It is because the accuracy of the stone truck still needs to be measured, so as not to accidentally injure their own soldiers.
A quarter of an hour later, the fifty wheeled stone trucks outside the east gate of Chencang City were all qualified after measurement, and all of them achieved the expected results. Liangzhou soldiers, you can attack the city!
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, Zhang Xiu had to order the soldiers to raise their shields, and at the same time protect themselves, prevent the enemy army from taking advantage of the situation to seize the city!
Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, as soon as they stood up from under the women's wall, in an instant, dozens of people were smashed into powder by the flying boulders.
In Dong Zhuo's army, if those crossbowmen release arrows, they will definitely not be able to protect themselves. Those shield soldiers are not yet fearless enough to protect the crossbowmen and let themselves be killed!
Dong Zhuojun's soldiers died in the mutual blame.
Zhang Xiu watched his soldiers fall one by one, but he couldn't do anything. Just when Zhang Xiu was about to despair, the siege soldiers of the Liangzhou army suddenly retreated. Moreover, the stone carts of the Liangzhou army no longer throw stones.
Dong Zhuojun went up to Zhang Xiu and down to the soldiers, temporarily relieved.
Two quarters of an hour later, the stone cart of the Liangzhou army began to throw stones again. The soldiers of the Liangzhou Army began to roar and attack the city again!
In this way, the Liangzhou army started from the time of Yin to the time of the hour, and every quarter of an hour or two, it would use boulders and shouts of killing to comfort the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun.
The soldiers of Dong Zhuojun on the four gates of Chencang City are really bitter and life is worse than death. Not only do they have physical fatigue and pain, but they also have fear and despair from the depths of their hearts!
From the middle of the day to the unitary hour three days later. Every quarter of an hour, the Liangzhou army's stone cart would give Dong Zhuojun in Chencang City a stone greeting. And the soldiers of the Liangzhou army will also shout to attack the city, but they will not really attack the city.
The torture of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army day and night made Zhang Xiu exhausted, and the soldiers of Dong Zhuo were even more painful. Zhang Xiu racked his brains, but he couldn't think of a way to break the enemy, so he had to drag his tired body to discuss countermeasures with Lu Bu and Gao Shun.
Chen Cangcheng Dong Zhuojun camp!
"General Zhang, sit down and talk!"
Gao Shun looked at Zhang Xiu, who looked prostration, sighed in his heart, propped himself up with one hand, and muttered: "The enemy's stone cart...... Still not stopping? ”
"Stopped!"
Zhang Xiu sat on the ground with a slump of his buttocks, breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated: "It's strange to say, it's the middle of the unitary time, and the enemy's stone cart starts from the unitary time...... There was no more throwing stones. The Liangzhou army did not shout to attack the city......"
"Presumably...... The Liangzhou army is also tired! ”
Lu Bu, who was wrapped in several circles of white cloth on his head, had an unfillable anger and anger on his face, but he could only say in a solemn voice: "Our army must also seize the time to rest so that it can meet the harassment of the enemy at night. ”
"General Lu, General Gao...... Good rest! ”
Zhang Xiu nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go to the city tower to supervise the battle!" ”
"Wait!"
Gao Shun, who had not spoken, saw that Zhang Xiu was leaving, and hurriedly said: "If it is not bad as expected, it will be ...... tonight The Liangzhou army is probably going to attack the city! ”
"How so?"
Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu said in a daze.
"The enemy's 'tired soldiers, attacking the heart'...... It's worked! The time is ripe for the enemy to attack Chencang City! ”
Gao Shun had already thought about it clearly, and hurriedly replied.
"General Gao speaks quickly......"
Zhang Xiu knew best the current situation of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, and was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How should we deal with it?" ”
"I thought it was ...... We can hold on to Chencang City for a few months. Now it seems...... In front of the enemy, such a strong city...... It's just a matter of breaking it! ”
Gao Shun smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The only way to break through is to get out of the city!" ”
"General Gao, isn't he talking nonsense? Three days ago, we waited for more than 20,000 people, and we couldn't break through! ”
A glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Xiu's heart, and then he said in despair: "Right now, our army has only more than 4,000 people in battle, how can we ...... Break out of the city? ”
"This time is different from the past, if you don't break through, there is only one death! We can take a desperate gamble and fight to the death! ”
Gao Shun said with a resolute expression.
"In that case, Ben will have a plan!"
Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu, waiting for his next words.
