Chapter 193: The Dry Staring Game
The day has finally arrived! The rebels at the head of the city felt the pressure around them, and only felt that the atmosphere around them was a little heavy, and the important thing was that there was an inexpressible feeling in their hearts, which seemed to be excited, seemed to be expectant, and more like some fear. With complicated feelings, they saved up the weapons in their hands again and again, quickly wiped the sweat oozing from their palms on their bodies again and again, and then held the weapons again.
His eyes were even more motionless staring at the slowly moving Feng family army in front of him, and no one even looked at the long dragon-like army before, because everyone felt that the 'long dragon' was just a 'passerby', and the 'tiger' in front of him who was pacing slowly was more like waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Damn! It's these things again?!! Chen Jingxuan smashed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, looked at the black guy under the city, and cursed in a low voice.
The generals who followed Chen Jingxuan were also angry and cursed in their hearts, the ballista was a completely new siege equipment in their opinion, especially half a year ago, in the battle of Chengdu Mansion, everyone had already deeply experienced the power once.
It's not enough to be beaten just yet, and more importantly, it's not light! The ballista is what people say about it, and it's a very simple-sounding but extremely practical one.
However, this time, after seeing the ballistae under the city, everyone was even more chilled than half a year ago, because just by observing from a distance, they could already count at least fifty ballistas that were moving! Behind the swarthy ballista group, two extremely wide and distinct scarlet curtains with gilded edges fluttered in the wind.
The scale of the two sides is exactly the same, and there is only one vigorous and powerful big italicic character "Tang" on one side. On the other hand, there are five dragons flying and phoenix dancing big characters "Zhongwu Feng Family Army", which is made by Tang Xizong himself with a little ink, just from the appearance of the font, there is a kind of king momentum that is enough to swallow mountains and rivers.
As the city got closer and closer, I don't know if it was because of the momentum of the two sides, or because of the dozens of ballistas, anyway, the defenders at the head of the city had begun to be in a daze, staring at the moving army under the city in a daze, and in an instant, it was as if they were out of the matter, slowly, even the hands holding the weapons were slightly loosened.
Finally, at the position that had just crossed a thousand meters away from the city, the Fengjia army slowly stopped, and as the army slowly moved and lined up in formation, dozens of ballistae were also slowly pushed by the ** column, gradually forming a two-row staggered array, but all of them aimed at the defenders at the head of the city with the swarthy round-headed artillery arrows.
"Whew." Chen Jingxuan, who had been staring with bated breath for a long time, suddenly let out a sigh of relief and looked to both sides, only to find that under the command and orders of Gongsun Yun and General Wang, a row of impermeable shield walls had been formed at the head of the city. Although Chen Jingxuan was very pleased with the actions of the two right-hand men, he also knew that in the face of the fact of the attack of the ballistas, these shield walls could only alleviate some losses, and it was impossible to prevent the losses.
It's so uncomfortable to be beaten and not be able to fight back! Chen Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, shook his head, moved a few steps forward under the protection of his own soldiers' shields, stretched out his hand to open a crack in the shield wall in front of him, carefully poked his head out, and observed the situation under the city.
What surprised Chen Jingxuan was that the Feng family army under the city did not make the next move after setting up the formation, to be exact, there was no movement, just stunned in place, without any move. Even Chen Jingxuan saw Lin Feng riding a war horse that glowed with silver-white light in the sun, but he was only standing between the two sides behind him, and he didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the city at all.
A moment later, Gongsun Yun and General Wang, who had arranged the defense, returned to Chen Jingxuan's side one after another, and soon discovered the abnormality of the Fengjia army under the city. Gongsun Yun pondered for a moment, frowned and reminded Chen Jingxuan: "My lord, this Lin Feng is scheming! Don't you want to use this to confuse our army? ”
"Confused? What do you mean by that? Hearing this, Chen Jingxuan's body was for a while, and now he was most afraid of hearing Lin Feng's title, so he couldn't help but turn his head, frowned, and asked with a puzzled face.
"Judging from the last general, Lin Feng's move is to prevent our side from sending troops out of the city to attack!" Gongsun Yun frowned, although he didn't quite believe this explanation, he still spoke: "It seems that the Feng family army doesn't seem to have any plans to attack the city at all!" Moreover, the point is that their number is too small?! ”
"The last general doesn't agree with General Gongsun!" Before Chen Jingxuan could speak, General Wang on the side took the lead in clenching his fists to Chen Jingxuan, and then turned to Gongsun Yun, clasped his fists and said: "The last general will say it directly if he has something to say, and I hope General Gongsun will not be surprised!" ”
"How dare you! What does General Wang think, it doesn't hurt to say it directly! Gongsun Yun was a little surprised by General Wang's attitude today, but thinking about it, after all, Chen Jingxuan was still on the side, and Gongsun Yun actually had no grudge against General Wang in his heart, so he also returned the salute and smiled faintly.
"My lord, General Gongsun! If the Feng family army under the city is to cover up, I don't think it's necessary! General Wang said sideways and raised his arm to point to the 'long dragon' team that had gradually disappeared, shook his head and explained: "If the other party wants to be on guard, so many soldiers and horses, you only need to spend some effort and send more scouts to pay attention to the movements of our army, and there is no need to spend a lot of time on the border with large soldiers!" ”
"Then, according to General Wang? Is the Feng family army going to attack the city? But why didn't they do anything? Chen Jingxuan also frowned, asked in a low voice, then raised his head and squinted at the scorching sun that had completely risen, shook his head and said his opinion: "The weather has been extremely hot recently, and now that the sun has risen, even if Lin Feng's brain suddenly has a problem, he will not let his soldiers attack the city under the scorching sun, right?" ”
"Definitely! Your Excellency is right! General Wang smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, but as soon as he changed his words, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ballista array under the city, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't forget, my lord, that black thing, don't worry about whether the sun is strong or not!" ”
"General Wang's words are completely reasonable!" Gongsun Yun nodded on the side and took over the words, but he still frowned, then shook his head and sighed: "Hey! People say that the Marquis of Zhongwu has always been unruly in war, and it is not common sense at all! At the moment, our army has no choice but to step up its defense and wait and see what happens! ”
Hearing this, although Chen Jingxuan and others don't like to be led by the nose very much, but the current fact is that no matter how reluctant they are in their hearts, the only way is to wait and see what Gongsun Yun just proposed, and brake quietly.
Afterwards, Chen Jingxuan no longer discussed with everyone, turned around again and set his eyes on the city, and all the soldiers under the command of the city, together with the scorching sun, started a game of staring with the Feng family army under the city.
