Chapter 395: The Qin Army Ants Attached to Attack the City

Liang Yun said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there is a strict order and you can't retreat, so I'm going to take it hard here." If there is no one at the head of the city, then we can directly storm the city walls, and they will not have time to go up again. ”

Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Regardless of him, smash it hard for me, I don't believe it, I can't break this Shouchun city wall!" ”

The arm of the huge catapult began to fall again and again under the neat pull of more than ten strong men, and then raised, and the watermelon-sized stones placed at the back end were whistling and flying into the air, throwing far away to the opposite city, where they were smashed, the battlements rammed by clay were smashed in one piece, and behind the battlements, the Jin army sergeants standing on the female wall were smashed down in pieces, raining down the city wall, crying and screaming sounded together, and even could be seen, Many Jin troops in the city are still running back and forth in a panic.

Liang Fei laughed and said hatefully: "Dog, if you want to drill into the ground again, you will enter the ground, and Lao Tzu can let you go to the sky, come, fly another one." As he spoke, the body of a Jin army was hit by a flying stone, and like a defeat, it flew out at least five or six zhang away, and together with this stone, it fell behind the city wall, and it took a long time before a cloud of smoke and dust was raised.

Liang Yun's eyes widened, and he clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, I really got it, big brother, you see, it's really flying." ”

Liang Cheng coldly looked at the human bodies flying everywhere in the city, and nodded: "It's strange, how could Liu Jinu make such a low-level mistake and let so many soldiers go to the city to defend?" And those curtains are not needed? ”

Xu Shichong said with a smile: "This Shouchun City is small, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in it, even if you hide, where can you hide, the curtain is estimated to be used up." Big brother, no matter what, this city wall has already been bombarded like this for us, even if he has an ambush, there is no way to strengthen the city wall. ”

Liang Cheng smiled: "What you said makes sense, okay, the order, 10,000 people will attack the city!" ”

Shouchun North City, above the city, thousands of straw men wearing Jin army armor, are falling with the attack of flying stones, if you stand in the city to observe, you will find that these straw people are tied with long ropes around their waists, led by the people under the city, and even sometimes, the stones have not been completely smashed up, as long as the rope is pulled, these straw men will fall under the city, and the people under the city while moving the rope in their hands, while screaming loudly, Liang Cheng heard the sound there, this is how it came.

Inside the city wall, there are many hollow sandwich layers, Xu Yuanlang is in a sandwich layer, from the gap of a small brick drawn out in front of him, and Zhi Yanzhi watched the changes outside, the attack of the flying stone has stopped, and in this front, which is less than three miles wide, the tide-like Qin army infantry, is holding shields, holding long lances, marching to the front, behind are dense archers, and then behind are shoulders, carrying long ladders, or light infantry with a long rope hook on their shoulders, obviously, These people will be the main force to climb the city for a while.

Xu Yuanlang sneered: "It seems that the thieves are going to attack the city, Yanzhi (at this time, Xu Yuanlang has begun to directly commensurate with each other to show intimacy and trust), what do you think?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi smiled slightly, and said: "Their stones are almost smashed, but they destroyed some of our fortifications at the head of the city, our army has almost no losses, and the catapults in the houses behind the city are also intact, but in my opinion, Liang Cheng is still cautious, he did not bet all the elites at once, and the siege of the city looks like most of the light infantry, which shows that this attack will be mainly a temptation, and they did not expect to be able to take it in one wave." ”

Xu Yuanlang nodded: "That's true, then our army can't take out all the strength to defend, otherwise the enemy army will see that our strength is still very strong, and will never invest reserve forces to attack, but will withdraw and then attack the city with flying stones, after all, our city wall is not strong enough, they will not be able to hold it for ten days and half a month in a row." ”

Zhi Yanzhi said with a smile: "Exactly, Lord Liu said that the way to defend the emperor is to hurt the enemy." Now, we have to find a way to make the enemy feel that as long as we work harder, the northern city can be captured, so that they can see hope, but we can't let them break through the city at once, so the subordinates suggested that the head of the city send a thousand people to defend, which should be enough. ”

Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "Okay, after they finish shooting with bows and arrows, transfer 1,000 people to the city, 3,000 elite soldiers will not move under the city, and 500 archers will hang and shoot behind the city to kill and injure the infantry under the enemy's city." ”

The infantry of the Qin army's front army had already advanced through the three hundred paces of the pink line, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, they stood outside the city wall, hundreds of large wooden shields were quickly placed in front of the army, forming a barrier, and more than 3,000 archers, one after another, drilled out from behind the shields, and began to draw bows and arrows at the head of the city, and the auxiliaries carried sandbags and soil sacs, like rats and ants, they came out from behind the shields one after another, and threw these things into the dry moat, and soon, the earthen ditch, which was only five feet wide and four feet deep, was basically leveled.

And the Qin army commanders behind the shield were not idle, Liang Cheng deliberately emphasized that he wanted to prevent the defenders in the city from attacking, plus they all witnessed the ending of those scolding soldiers, no one wanted to joke with their lives, and they didn't want to be stabbed to death by a knife that suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, so while the archers were shooting and the auxiliaries were filling the ditch, these lancers also stabbed the land around them for a while, for fear that some Tuxingsun would suddenly come out.

Bursts of black arrow rain out of the formation, flying to the city, a hundred paces of distance, still more than most archers can reach, ninety-five percent of the arrows, are in front of the city wall, thirty to forty steps away from the city wall in this area, almost densely planted with arrows, and with a rain of arrows, the "Jin soldiers" at the head of the city fell like raindrops, screams one after another, echoing in the air, mixed with the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

With the filling of the moat, the archers of the Qin army also began to move forward gradually, five steps, ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps, they finally stood on the line of about fifty steps away from the city wall, the arrows shot here can finally be shot at the head of the city, many of the Jin army "sergeants" at the head of the city fell down with arrows, and the screams began to sound, but the strange thing is that there was no arrow shot down on the city head, just to clean the rain of arrows of the Qin army, and they couldn't fight back!
