"Woo-woo-woo-"

"Knock knock—"

In the array of the Song army outside Tengcheng, the sound of military trumpets and war drums sounded, which meant that the Song army was about to launch an offensive against Tengcheng.

Tengcheng is surrounded by rivers on three sides, the north is the "Xiaojing River", and the south and east are the "Jing River", and the suburbs in these three directions are not enough for the Song soldiers to set up a formation, at best, they are only enough to send a small force to play the role of containing Tengcheng.

The main direction of attack is still the west of Tengcheng.

The "moat" that the Song army filled before, that is, the ditch dug by manpower in the west of Tengcheng, connects the Jing River and the Xiaojing River from north to south, but in the past month, it has been secretly dug up by the people in Tengcheng led by the disciples of the Mo family.

But unfortunately, in front of the bridge equipment of the Song army, this moat did not play the slightest role, but in a moment, the Song soldiers laid a wooden plank on this moat and "transformed" it into flat ground.

"Push!"

"Speed up!"

At the urging of several Song generals, a group of Song soldiers struggled to push twenty well carts, preparing to launch the first wave of offensive.

During this period, there were two teams of about 1,000 soldiers in Song County, each pushing five well chariots, towards the east and south of Tengcheng respectively, the purpose of which was naturally to contain the soldiers in Tengcheng and disperse their forces.

At this time, on the city of Tengcheng, Teng Hu and Da Sima "Bi Zhan", Mo Jiaju Qiu Liang and others watched the actions of the Song army outside the city with solemn expressions.

You must know that a month ago, the Song army almost broke through Tengcheng with only four well carts - although that was because Teng Hu, Qiu Liang and others encountered this kind of well cart for the first time and didn't know how powerful this thing was, but this is enough to prove the power of the well cart.

And today, in addition to the five well carts that went to the two city walls in the southeast, on the west city wall alone, the Song army dispatched 20 well carts in one go, and there are even about 20 well carts still waiting in the distance, such a number of well carts is simply desperate.

"Can you prepare something to start a fire?"

Teng Hu looked at the Song army outside the city expressionlessly, and asked Sima Bi Zhan in a deep voice.

"Teng Hou rest assured, it's ready."

Bi Zhan, who was over half a hundred years old, replied in a deep voice.

At this time, about three well carts have gradually approached the city wall, seeing this, the Teng soldiers on the city wall immediately launched an attack, only to see that the famous archer, from the oil drum in front of him, took out an arrow cluster wrapped around the oil cloth, and the soldiers on the side used torches to light the oil cloth, and shot it to the well cart outside the city with a whoosh.

"Tuk-tuk."

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fire arrows were hit on each of the three well carts, and after a while, the straw ropes, hemp ropes and other objects on these well carts slowly burned.

There is no way, this is the result of the substandard craftsmanship level: if there are excellent craftsmen in the Song army who can use the mortise and tenon structure to build the well car according to the requirements of Meng Zhong, then it can save a lot of straw rope and hemp rope used to tie and fix, and naturally reduce the probability of being ignited by the enemy's fire arrows.

It is also thanks to the fact that these well cars were poured with muddy water after the completion of the construction in accordance with Meng Zhong's suggestion, otherwise those straw ropes and hemp ropes are believed to burn faster.

"Extinguish the fire! Put out the fire! ”

Several Song generals shouted loudly, ordering the three well carts to stop immediately, and then sent people to board the well carts and pour water from top to bottom with wooden barrels to try to extinguish the fire.

"Boom—"

One of the shaft cars collapsed, and it seemed that the hemp rope that held the body beams and columns was burned and fell apart at once, leaving the inside of the shaft car exposed.

The other two were saved by Kankan.

"Keep firing the arrows!"

The generals of Teng in Teng City shouted loudly, urging the archers in the city to continue to attack the other well carts with fire arrows, after all, while the three well carts were damaged, the rest of the well carts were still slowly approaching the city wall.

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

As arrows with fire were shot from the city of Tengcheng, one after another well carts caught fire on the way to the city wall, causing the Song soldiers to rush to extinguish the fire.

Seeing this scene from a distance in this formation, the military Sima Jingyi stood on the chariot, clenching his fists in annoyance.

Before that happened, seven or eight wells caught fire, and three of them collapsed and were scrapped.

In this life, on the western flank of the Song army's array, Meng Zhong also stood on the chariot and watched the battle situation, and he was not surprised by what he saw at this moment.

After all, in his opinion, Tengcheng was almost broken by four well chariots a month ago, and that was because Teng people were caught off guard, and today, Teng Cheng was obviously prepared, and of course the well chariots would be targeted.

But having said that, as for the few loose well cars, Meng Zhong believes that the main problem is the limitation of process technology, if it is a well car with a mortise and tenon structure built by an excellent craftsman, it can be pushed to the city under the fire, so as not to be burned off the straw rope and hemp rope used to tie and fix, and the whole well car will fall apart.

"Alas, another ......"

Seeing another well car fall apart, Meng Hu shook his head with regret.

He said to Meng Zhong with some concern: "Ah Zhong, this is already the fourth one...... Before the siege of the city, the four wells were scrapped. ”

"Teng Cheng has taken precautions in advance, which is normal. You see, although four wells were destroyed, on the whole, didn't our army's wells advance through? …… Look, the archers of our army began to return fire. Meng Zhong said, pointing to the battlefield.

Meng Hu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that several well chariots had stopped on the spot, and immediately, many archers of the Song army climbed on the top of the well chariot and shot arrows at Tengcheng, so that the archers on Tengcheng could no longer destroy the well chariots with fire arrows unscrupulously.

The rest of the six or seven well chariots were pushed to the city by a group of Song soldiers.

Finally, two well-mounted carts approached the city wall with arrows, and at the same time as it lowered the suspended wooden planks on the top with a bang, a group of Song soldiers quickly ascended the "attic" along the hollow-shaped staircase inside the well-mounted cart, and then stepped on the "suspension bridge" and rushed to the city wall of Tengcheng.

"Kill!"

"Block them!"

For a moment, it was as if a drop of water had fallen into the boiling oil pot, and the entire battlefield erupted in an amazing roar at once.

The Song soldiers and Teng soldiers fought to the death on the drawbridge and on the city wall, and in the roars, roars, and screams, every time they blinked, a Song soldier or Teng soldier died, or fell on the city wall, or fell from the city to the city.

"Today, the morale of my Song soldiers is quite strong, maybe I can really take Tengcheng in one go......"

Meng Yu's serious face showed a slight expectation.

"There will be brave men under the heavy reward......"

Meng Zhong muttered.

It turned out that before today's war, the military Sima Jingyu told the whole army that if Tengcheng could be captured today, everyone would be promoted to a knighthood and rewarded with 100 acres of land.

Not to mention those Song soldiers, even the family soldiers in the Song Kingdom such as the Meng clan were eager to win this battle.

"If this battle is won, then I can be promoted to sergeant, right?" Meng Hu asked with some please.

According to the Zhou Li knighthood, it can be roughly divided into three classes: "Qing", "Shi Dafu", and "Shi", of which Qing is divided into "Shangqing" and "Zhongqing (Yaqing)", and Shi Dafu can be divided into "Shang Dafu (eldest doctor)", "Zhong Dafu", "Xia Dafu", and Shi is divided into "Shang Shi", "Sergeant", and "Corporal".

In the contemporary era of the unification of officials and lords, generally only what kind of title can be obtained by what kind of authority.

For example, Meng Qi, the suzerain of the Mengshi clan, is the title of "Zhong Dafu", from him down, Sima Mengqing is a "sergeant", and the rest of the clansmen in the chariot officer level are all "sergeants", such as Meng Hu, Meng Zhi, Meng Heng, etc., as for Meng Zhong and Meng Hu, they are the lowest "corporals".

Of course, even the corporal with the lowest rank belongs to the category of nobility, and is not comparable to ordinary commoners and foot soldiers.

"It's a great thing to be able to get mixed up with a sergeant."

A zhang away, Meng Zhi heard Meng Hu's words and couldn't help but make fun of this nephew.

"Uncle!"

Meng Hu couldn't help but quarrel with his uncle, but was stopped by Sima Mengqing: "Meng Zhi, Meng Hu, shut up for me!" …… Don't look at where either! ”

With a loud shout, Meng Zhi and Meng Hu immediately restrained their expressions and didn't dare to play anymore, including other clansmen, who also straightened their minds and looked at the battlefield in front of them, not daring to show joy anymore.

"That's tough......"

Young Sect Master Meng Hu glanced at Meng Qing, the clan brother who served as the family Sima, and asked Meng Zhong in a low voice, "Ah Zhong, I heard that you have seen the art of war, what do you think of this war?" ”

At this time, the military Sima Jingyu had already sent the rear team, that is, the only twenty remaining well cars, and rushed up to Tengcheng.

For this point, Meng Zhong still appreciated it in his heart: after all, at this moment on the Tengcheng side, the Song army had already achieved certain results, and this time he sent a rear team to press the remaining twenty well chariots on it, which would naturally further expand the results of the battle.

He thought for a moment and said, "If Tengcheng still adopts a strategy of stubborn defense, then this city will definitely be breached. ”

Meng Hu was stunned when he heard this, he seemed to hear something, and couldn't help but ask: "You mean to say that if Tengcheng adopts other strategies, it may still be able to hold it?" ”

"Hmm."

Meng Zhong nodded, frowned and said: "If the Teng people have the courage, they should take the initiative to attack at this time and destroy the next twenty well chariots of our army, otherwise, when these twenty well chariots arrive under the city, Teng Guo will no longer have the strength to return to heaven......

As soon as the words fell, I heard the cheers of Song soldiers coming from the battlefield ahead, which seemed to come from the west gate of Tengcheng.

Because there were too many Song soldiers at the West City Gate, Meng Hu and Meng Zhong couldn't see it really, so Meng Hu immediately called someone to investigate the situation.

About a quarter of an hour later, a herald came back and reported: "It was Sima Bizhan of Teng who tried to lead his army out of the city and destroy Wang Shi's well car, but he was defeated by Wang Shi and fled back to the city, and now Wang Shi is fighting with him for the city gate." ”

"I see."

Meng Yu suddenly realized, but Meng Zhong frowned deeply.

As far as he knew, Bi Zhan was the general of the Teng State, but how stupid did this person have to be to choose to kill from the gate facing the Song army?

"If it's not Teng Ren who is stupid, then it'......."

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong looked up at the west of Teng City, and immediately said to Meng Hu: "Uncle Meng Hu, please send someone to remind Uncle Meng Qing that Teng Hu may lead people to kill from the north of the city and attack our army......"

"Huh?"

Meng Yu looked at Meng Zhong in astonishment, a little puzzled.
