The sudden earthquake did surprise Sun Cejun, but fortunately, his men and horses were all on the vast flat land, fortunately there were no casualties, but the checkpoint guarded by Longmu Town came to naught It was really an accident, this year's earthquake seems to be extraordinarily many, Huainan under Yuan Yao alone has happened several times, but in the eyes of other princes, it is Yuan Yao who said that the emperor himself suffered a curse, right?

After clearing the ruins, Sun Ce's army marched again, at this time the sky was already bright, until he led the army to Shouchun City, did not encounter the enemy's obstruction again, Sun Ce rode on a horse, and looked into the distance, and the solid Shouchun City came into his field of vision.

I saw that Shouchun, where people came and went in Pingsuri, was now silent, and the strong city wall of more than ten zhang was endless, and at this moment the city head was crowded with people, densely packed with defending archers, and the crowd of black pressure pressed each other, as if the black clouds were pressing the city.

The city gate is closed, and the drawbridge has already been recorded, it seems that Yuan Yao has taken some precautions! Sun Ce frowned slightly, ordered the soldiers to line up in the field, and slowly set up the formation, preparing to let the stone-throwing vehicle brought this time exert its power again, so that Yuan Yao could see the power of this stone-throwing vehicle.

At this time, the two scouts and pegasus came, and when they arrived in front of Sun Ce, they turned over and dismounted and said, "General Sun, the military division and Lord Zhang Liao have completed the formation, and they can be ready to attack the city at any time!" ”

"Isn't there any news from the North Gate yet?" Sun Ce stroked his overlord gun, nodded slightly to Tanma, and said lightly worriedly, as if he was talking to himself.

When Han Dang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and echoed: "Lu Bu has not arrived for a long time, will something happen?" ”

"It's better not to, if Lu Bu doesn't come, in case Yuan Yao sends troops from the north gate to attack the rear of our army, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Before Sun Ce rode out, his expression became extremely complicated.

When Yuan Yao's archers at the head of the city saw Sun Ce approaching the city gate, they all set up their bows and wound them up, aiming at Sun Ce.

Looking at these moving archers with cold eyes, Sun Ce shocked Siye with a loud shout: "The little overlord Sun Ce is here, come to crusade against the traitor Yuan Yao!" ”

"The bold madman Sun Ce dares to call the lord by his name!" Seeing that Sun Ce was so presumptuous, an enemy general on the city tower couldn't help but be furious, and immediately opened his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at Sun Ce and shooting an arrow.

In the face of the sharp arrows that broke through the air, Sun Ce didn't dodge at all, and actually met the incoming arrows and took them directly in his hands! The soldiers above and below the city couldn't help but be shocked.

"Yuan Yao is called the Son of Heaven in vain, and the 100,000 troops in the city dare not go out of the city to face the battle, he is really cowardly and invincible in the world!" Sun Ce sneered, with a slight force, he broke the sharp arrow in his hand in half, and then waved his spear: "Siege!" ”

"Kill!" Sun Ce gave an order, and thousands of infantry rushed towards the city wall with shields in hand.

"Shoot your arrows and don't let the enemy get close to the walls!" Seeing that Sun Ce actually came up and directly ordered the siege of the city, all the archers on the city wall were slightly taken aback, and immediately prepared to attack, and when Sun Ce's siege shield soldiers under the city approached, Zhang Bow was off the string-

Suddenly, the rain of arrows shot overwhelmingly at Sun Ce's men and horses, covering the sky and the sun, it was really magnificent, the arrow rain fell, and immediately screamed miserably, although Sun Ce's men and horses had shields to protect their bodies, after all, it was a wooden structure, and it was difficult to cover the whole body, and soon many people were hit by arrows and there were casualties.

However, the casualties were only a few, only after this wave of arrow rain, the siege troops advanced several zhang, and then the second wave of the enemy's arrow rain roared again, accompanied by one after another screams, Sun Cejun fell dozens of people, against the rain of arrows, and quickly moved forward several zhang.

Seeing this, the archers at the head of the city immediately stopped shooting the monotonous archery as before, but divided into several waves, one wave of people continued to shoot arrows without stopping, and one wave of people struggled to push the already boiling oil pot up the tower, while the rest of the men were nervously carrying arrows and boulders to the soldiers who were struggling to defend in front of them.

Suddenly, the rain of arrows shrouded Sun Cejun's field of vision, and the boiling oil was like fire and splashed on the bodies of the soldiers under the city, which immediately caused a burst of ghosts and wolves to howl, and the boulders that were pushed down on the city wall also directly smashed the soldiers who were easy to rush to the city into meat pies.

Seeing that the enemy's defense was so strong, Sun Ce and Han Dang, who were supervising the battle, couldn't help frowning, and seeing that their men and horses were showing signs of retreating due to continuous casualties, the two shouted: "Don't retreat, give me the city!" Stone-throwing cart, give me the enemy army aiming at the head of the city, smash! ”

At the sound of an order, several stone-throwing trucks as high as three feet were slowly pushed out of the rear army by the soldiers, those stone-throwing trucks had destroyed a military camp of Yuan Yao in an instant at night before, and the remnants of Yuan Yao, who were lucky enough to escape back, saw these behemoths on the city wall again at this moment, and couldn't help but be stunned: "It's a stone-throwing truck, get down!" ”

These stone-throwing trucks are as high as three feet, made of tight logs to ensure that they will not be easily damaged during the battle, and at the same time, the logs are wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, which can play a role in fire prevention, but although it is a good thing, it is a little heavier, even if there are four wooden wheels installed on the base, it still takes more than 100 people to push this behemoth at the same time.

Hundreds of people pushed these behemoths to the periphery of the crossbow range outside the city, and after fixing them, several wrestlers who were obviously stronger than ordinary soldiers lifted a boulder weighing three hundred pounds and placed it on the bottom end of the stone-throwing cart.

The boulders were wrapped in thick cloths soaked in hot oil, and in a burst of shouts, the wrestlers set the tarpaulins on fire with torches while quickly tightening the mechanism that connected the base, only to hear the whirring sound of the wind in their ears, and the ignited boulders headed towards the crowded city wall like meteors......

"Boom !!" The boulder roared down in the horror of the enemy soldiers on the city wall, directly smashed dozens of people into meat pies, and the soldiers next to them looked at the companions who were fighting side by side just now without even groaning and went down the Huangquan Road, and their faces turned pale with fright, and they were about to retreat behind the city wall. ”

Listening to the general's loud shout, all the frightened soldiers were forced to stop, turned to look at each other and looked at the flame boulders that continued to fly, and couldn't hold back the anxiety in their hearts, not knowing when they would be smashed to pieces by these things.

"General be careful!"

Suddenly, everyone only heard a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and they followed the prestige, only to see a boulder impartially hit the general who was screaming just now, and directly knocked him off the city wall, and I don't know whether he was already whining or fainting when he was hit, this unlucky guy didn't snort and fell to the ground from under the city wall as high as more than ten zhang, and the result can be imagined.

"Bang!"

The soldiers looked around one after another, only to see an unsightly red of blood.

"Run!" The soldiers exploded directly and rushed to the bottom of the city walls.

More boulders were thrown to the city walls, gates, towers and other places, because the boulders were too heavy, the crosshairs were a little worse, but this stone-throwing vehicle relied on large-scale lethality and the deterrent power of the enemy's psychology, and the boulders fell to harvest not only the lives of the enemy soldiers, especially it would cause a large area of fire, everywhere it went, a ghost cried wolf.

Not long after, the original crowded scene on the city wall has become only hundreds of people divided into scattered formations, it seems that these guys are good at learning, at this time if the stone throwing is carried out again, although it will still cause casualties, but some of the gains outweigh the losses, after all, these boulders are not easy to carry, and the launch is quite a drain of physical strength and time, just counting on a few stone throwing cars to take Shouchun, it is a little whimsical.

"General, the boulders are running out!" The herald hurriedly came to report to Sun Ce.

"Rush, take a ladder to attack the city wall! Storm the gates! Sun Ce held the flag high in his hand, and the soldiers saw this and shouted again to kill the heavens and the earth and rushed towards the city wall.

The ladder was quickly erected, Sun Ce's army rushed to the head of the city with a wooden shield, the enemy army at the head of the city saw that the stone throwing cart stopped attacking, and picked up the weapon in his hand again and Sun Ce's troops on the ladder started a desperate fight, the stronger soldiers directly overturned the ladder, and the soldiers who were still on the ladder did not have time to escape, so they fell together with the ladder to the place where their own people were, and fell miserably.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the soldiers under the ladder changed their crossbows and shot mercilessly at the enemy soldiers who were slaughtering their companions at the head of the city, and immediately screamed miserably, and the enemy soldiers at the head of the city fell off the city wall weakly with arrows, and in a short time many thorny enemy soldiers were killed in this way.

The enemy soldiers at the head of the city were not to be outdone, and they continued to fight with the soldiers who rushed up the city wall, and on the other hand, they tried their best to hide their identities by using the battlements of the city wall to wait for the opportunity to destroy the ladder, and the scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

However, soon, another group of Yuan Yao's defenders rushed to the city wall from the city, and while they extinguished the fire everywhere, they joined the battle group fighting with Sun Ce's army.

"General, there are not many stones transported now, but I am afraid that I will not be able to repel the enemy like just now!" The lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the stone-throwing cart came to report to Sun Ce.

Seeing that his soldiers were suppressed, where could Sun Ce still manage this? He only roared angrily: "Now our comrades are bleeding and dying, and when the stones are used up, we will carry them, and what will we do to fight when we run out of people?" ”

The deputy general was stunned by Sun Ce's shouting, turned his head to look at the falling figures of his own people on the city wall, and immediately said no more, and rode back to arrange the work of the stone throwing cart.
