"That's ...... Well car? ”

The commander of the Chu army, Zai Father, saw the two behemoths on the inside of the south wall of the Wei camp for the first time, and his expression couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After all, according to common sense, the well car belongs to a kind of siege vehicle, as the name suggests, it is naturally used for siege of cities, and I have not heard of anyone using it for defense.

"That's so high...... I'm afraid it's three feet tall, right? Those Wei people really spared no effort to defend this camp to the death."

Father Zai hummed softly as he thought.

He had to admit that this Wei battalion was simply a moat-like existence, and it was clear that he had invested a full fifteen thousand infantry, but what was the result? So far, not a single infantry has successfully climbed the wall of the Wei camp.

The vast majority of the infantry died on the line of defense full of spears, and even the infantry who successfully broke through this line of defense could not climb the sword mountain-like camp wall, so they were shot to death by the Wei crossbowmen in the Wei camp.

With such a huge casualty rate, their Chu army had never suffered such a huge casualty rate since they invaded the territory of Wei, and no city had allowed their Chu army to suffer such huge casualties so far.

In the eyes of Zai's father, this Wei camp is definitely more difficult to attack than Zhaoling City, which has the danger of Luohe, and it is much more difficult.

Because when the Chu general Lianbi attacked Zhaoling, the Chu soldiers under his command built a lot of wells and ladders, therefore, with the convenience of siege giants, the Chu army occupied an absolute advantage in strength and conquered Zhaoling, which was in danger of the Luohe River.

But now, in front of this Wei camp carefully strengthened by the Wei people, the infantry of the Chu army seems to have lost its role.

Because in Zai's father's opinion, the Chu infantry under his command just repeated the process of charging and then being shot to death by the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp with crossbow arrows, which was simply unsuccessful.

And the heavy casualties paid by these numerous Chu infantry only played a role in containing those Wei soldiers on the wall of the Wei camp: because only the infantry of the Chu army kept going to death and were constantly shot to death by the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp. These Wei soldiers couldn't spare time to meet the 10,000 longbowmen of the Chu army.

That's all.

But the appearance of those two wells broke this situation.

I saw that on those two well carriages, hundreds of Wei archers had begun to try to shoot long shots at the 10,000 Chu longbowmen outside the camp.

This is not good news in the eyes of the father.

After all, at the moment when the infantry under his command is ineffective, the 10,000 longbowmen are the only long-range troops that can effectively kill and injure the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp, if this longbowman army has serious losses, then. If they Chu people want to conquer this Wei camp, it is purely a fool's dream.

After all, these 10,000 longbowmen are already all under the command of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and he can't take out more longbowmen troops.

"Whoosh-"

The 10,000 longbowmen and the nearly 1,000 longbowmen on the two wells in the Wei camp launched a confrontation, because the former won an absolute advantage in numbers, so even if there were nearly 1,000 more longbowmen in the Wei camp, it would not hinder the advance of the Chu army.

Can shoot and shoot. Suddenly, he noticed that the arrows fired at the 10,000 longbowmen under his command seemed to be increasing.

"What's going on?" Could it be that the longbowmen of the Wei army could shoot arrows by hearing?'

Father Zai couldn't help but be a little surprised.

As far as he knew, there was once a unit of archers who could listen to the enemy's movements and shoot accurately, known as the "Voice Marksman", which was really the elite division of the archer army, even in the invisible fog, those elite voice shooters could use their voices to identify the position of the enemy army, so as to make accurate shots.

However. That elite has long been history, and to this day in various countries. I have never heard of any archery unit that can reach the level of those archers in history, and the current archer troops are still stuck in the level of catching the enemy's position by "eye", far from reaching the point of hearing and distinguishing the position.

Thinking of this, Father Zai subconsciously squinted at Wei Ying, hoping to get some clues.

Haven't said it yet. He took a closer look, and he really saw something strange.

He found that there seemed to be more Wei soldiers on the two wells in the Wei camp than Fang Cai.

Speaking of which, he also felt funny. It's funny that the Wei people actually pushed two unfinished wells to the front line, no, except for the top pavilion that can stand Wei soldiers, the rest of the floors are empty.

But right now, in addition to the Wei soldiers standing on the top of the two well cars, the second floor from top to bottom is also full of Wei soldiers.

These Wei soldiers held machine crossbows and assisted the Wei soldiers on the camp wall to shoot the Chu infantry outside the camp who tried to climb the camp wall, so that some of the crossbowmen on the camp wall were replaced by longbowmen and joined the team that shot the 10,000 Chu longbowmen.

"It's strange, don't you say...... The Wei people are still continuing to build the well car?"

Thinking of this, Father Zai's heart chuckled.

Although he also knew how to build a shaft car, he had never done anything so crazy: urgently put the unfinished shaft car into service, and then continued to build the shaft car while fighting.

So, how do you deploy manpower?

"Whew-"

Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard a whistling in the sky.

Zai's father subconsciously raised his head, and saw a black thing "flying" from inside the Wei camp in confusion, and flew over the wall of the Wei camp in an arc.

"Bang!"

The sharp whistling sound ended with a loud bang.

I saw that in the phalanx of 10,000 longbowmen of the Chu army, there was an unlucky longbowman with a mud block from the direction of Wei Ying in the middle of his head.

The mud block that was as big as a huddle, frozen hard, flew in the air for a full distance of more than 20 feet, and finally smashed an unlucky ghost, and smashed the unlucky ghost's brain.

The bright red blood mixed with milky white brains splashed on the faces and bodies of the longbows of the Chu Kingdom around them, making them pale in fright.

"Stone-throwing truck?! …… It turns out that the Wei people not only built the well car, but also the stone throwing car?"

Father Zai's eyes widened in astonishment.

This made him even more puzzled, after all, as we all know, stone-throwing trucks are generally used to smash city walls and city gates, and they are used to kill enemies, but the effect is not significant.

"Huh. In order to defend the camp, the Wei people really spared no effort......

Father Zai shook his head with a smile, not very concerned about the appearance of the stone throwing cart, after all, he had just seen clearly, the huge mud thrown from the Wei camp had only killed a longbowman. Incidentally, one of the longbowmen behind him was smashed, at best, one dead and one wounded, which was nothing more than a small number of longbowmen in a formation of up to 10,000 people.

"Such insignificant casualties...... What if there were more stone-throwing trucks in the Wei camp?'

Zaifu didn't care, but continued to order the longbowmen to shoot arrows to suppress the Wei camp.

In comparison, the number of Chu infantry who were mistakenly killed by these 10,000 longbowmen far exceeded those stone-throwing carts.

But gradually, Zaifu felt that something was wrong, because he found that more and more mud blocks were being thrown from inside the Wei camp, what did it mean?

This means that the number of stone-throwing trucks in Weiying is increasing dramatically!

Father Zai seemed to be a little surprised. I was surprised that the Wei people were able to build more than ten stone-throwing trucks in such a short period of time.

This is by no means the speed that ordinary soldiers can achieve.

He would never have thought that for this war with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Zhao Hongrun seconded two hundred officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, which can be said to be the secondment of half of the staff in the official office of the Ministry of Industry in Daliang City.

"Whew-bang——!"

"Whew-bang——!"

More and more huge blocks of mud were thrown from inside the Wei camp to the position of the 10,000 longbowmen, although the losses of the longbowmen who were killed by these mud blocks were almost negligible. But the Father could clearly see that the 10,000 longbowmen under his command were gradually becoming impetuous. It seems to be a little restless.

Come to think of it, anyone who sees the friendly soldiers who were directly killed by the mud, and the miserable end of those unlucky ghosts, will instinctively feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention, as the inner floors of the two wells were gradually improved, more and more crossbowmen boarded the two chariots. shouldered the heavy responsibility of shooting those Chu infantry outside the camp, which freed the hands of the Wei soldiers on the camp wall.

As a result, more and more crossbowmen descended the camp wall and were replaced by longbowmen armed with strong bows.

And during this period, the infantry of the Chu State did not make any achievements. They were also struggling to charge forward, and they were braving the rain of arrows to force their way up the camp wall, gritting their teeth and clutching the blades with both hands, trying to force their way up the camp wall.

I believe that all the infantry of the Chu State gritted their teeth at this: the Wei people, who should have suffered a thousand knives, shamelessly built the outside of the camp wall like a mountain of knives.

"Rush—"

A hundred generals in the Chu army shouted, taking the lead, not afraid of the pain, holding those blades with their fleshy palms, and climbing up along the blades.

The blade cut the palm of his hand, it was really a heart-piercing pain, and what was worse was that the blade he stepped on was not enough to bear the weight of his whole person.

I only heard a click, the blade of the sword broke, and I saw that the hundred generals showed a shocked look on their faces, and the whole person sank downward, and the hands holding the blades were actually cut off by the fingers, and the whole body was also cut by the countless blades, and the whole fell to the bottom of the camp wall, turning over and over and screaming.

“……”

Nearby, many Chu soldiers who had attacked the foot of the camp wall looked at each other, all of them were frightened.

They scolded in their hearts: as long as they are living people, they can't climb this knife mountain at all!

But just when they hesitated, the arrow rain of 10,000 longbowmen behind them attacked this section of the Wei camp wall, so that many infantry were shot by friendly troops again, and some who were lucky enough to escape were shot and killed one by one by the Wei soldiers on the well cart in the Wei camp.

It's simply that the belly and back are the enemy.

Finally, a small group of Chu infantry could not bear it anymore and fled to the east and west, trying to escape the battlefield.

Seeing this, Gong Yuan hurriedly issued an order: let these deserters of the Chu State flee the battlefield!

He believed that as long as someone was the first to flee, then more and more Chu infantry would flee the battlefield.

And when most of the Chu State infantry are bent on escaping and saving their lives, then relying on the 10,000 Chu State longbowmen outside the camp, even if they are allowed to shoot for ten days and ten nights, it will not be enough to shake this camp! (To be continued.) )
