Chapter 58: Why
"Ready, put ββ!" In the trebuchet position, everyone did not hear the sound of gold outside the northern city, but the observers on the city tower waved their flags again and again, and the last few iron bullets were transported to the position in the west of the city, and the cannon commander immediately ordered them to shoot at the Wei army in the west of the city. After the 'pop' sound, the boom 'whirred' threw up the leather bag, and under the morning sun, the iron bullet flew away.
"Vote! Pitch! The thrower behind the cart strode with a lit bomb, wanting to repeat the scene of the firewood burning last night.
"Ahh In the electric light, the language has slowed down, and there is only a 'ah' that contains countless meanings. A certain sanitation officer in the first row rushed forward despite the urgency of the queue, and pointed his spear at the rushing Wei pawn. After he ran out a few steps, the pawn commander saw the fire bullet in Wei Shu's hand, and shouted, "Fire, fire bomb!" Fireproof bombs! Raise the shield ......"
"Raise your shield!" The round shield on his left arm was all raised, and although it could not protect the whole body, it could at least block some fire bullets.
"Cast!" Seeing that the Chu soldiers were protruding from the military formation, the Wei army on the chariot immediately ordered. Wei Shu, who rushed forward, said 'ah', and the fire bomb in his hand was pushed out with all his might. In an instant, the swarthy wine urn rolled in the sunlight with flames.
"Boom ββ!" At the same moment, the black shadow flew at high speed, smashing on the surface of the ground, shaking up several feet of dust, carrying this dust, the rebounding iron bullet 'bang' swept past several Wei pawns who threw the bomb, and finally hit a car. The chariot shattered in the splash of sawdust, and the neighing of the horses shattered the iron bullets that shattered the chariot, and continued to rush forward, jumping hundreds of steps before turning in circles and stopping.
"Boom, ......boom" iron bullets are not one, but several, some are far away from the Wei army's formation, and one is even a spear that is rubbed against the Wei army's army, and the iron bullet obliquely pierces several Wei pawns before finally landing, and then bounces up again, and then knocks down several Wei pawns one after another before rolling into the distance.
The bullet hit like a knife slash, and where the iron bullet raged, Wei Zushang himself was thrown into the distance, and the lower half of his body was still standing in place. After the fountain of blood flowed, the colorful internal organs and intestines slipped to the ground. 'Bang! When the fire bomb struck, the wine urn that had been thrown in advance fell in front of the spear array, and after it fell to the ground, several clusters of flames rose up, and the internal organs and intestines on the ground were burned to a creak.
The iron bullet landed on the ground and roared continuously, stirring up dust in the sky. Wei Zu had already fled with his life, and no one dared to advance half a step until someone on the roof of a house on the north side waved a flag and shouted in Chu language: "The bombing has stopped!" Bombing has stopped! β
The spear array chiseled through the Wei army's formation, and nearly 10,000 of them were crushed by the last few iron bullets, and there was no need for the sanitation to attack. They were like pillars in the rapids, standing motionless in the midst of the flood with spears.
The fighting array broke and fled, and the golden sound rose again in the distance, and the warriors had to follow them to retreat, but these people still maintained a complete array, and their eyes were still unwilling, and some of the warriors even shot a few arrows, and they were quickly suppressed by the archers who followed closely, and had to raise their shields and run to the middle tower of the West City.
"Report ββ! Our army defeated the Wei army, and our army defeated the Wei army. "The two-story building is called a building, and Chen Ying does not have a building, only a bungalow. As soon as the banner turned out of the royal city, the sanitation and county guards of the whole city saw it. When the county officials on the north city wall shouted 'Long live the king', the sanitation also saw the banner, and the messenger hurriedly rushed towards the banner, shouting that the Wei army was defeated.
"Where's the feather?" Xiong Jing was already at the crossroads in the middle of Chen Ying, but Chen Ying, who had a circumference of thirty miles, was seven or eight miles longitudinal and horizontal, and there were no buildings at the crossroads, so he couldn't see the situation in Xicheng and Beicheng at all.
"General Yang has broken the Wei army, and is rushing to the west to recover the city gate." The sanitation ceremony, people were very excited, and their faces were full of smiles.
"Chen Chen must not see the king!" Chen Bu finally came out, and when he saw Xiong Jing, he quickly got out of the car to pick up his shirt. "The minister has recovered the south gate of the West City, and he has also ordered the county to quickly recover the middle gate of the West City."
"Yes." Chen Bu is solely responsible for defending the city, and it is his responsibility to be broken by the enemy, but he can recover the city gate as a atonement. Xiong Jing didn't ask him why he was lost, but only asked, "Can you recover the city before dark?" β
The enemy's attack at night led to the fall of the city, and if the city could not be recovered at night, the 400,000 army would attack again, and Chen Ying would be lost. Chen Bu also knew this truth, he said: "The minister will be able to recover the central and northern gates, please don't worry about the king." β
*
"The King of Chu is here?" At the middle gate of the West City, Lin Jiao, who heard the words of his subordinates, was a little incredulous. Chen Yingcheng is broken, how can the king of Chu enter the city? How many reinforcements did the king of Chu bring with him when he entered the city? The Qin army has retreated back to the camp, and even if the king of Chu does not bring reinforcements, the morale of the Chu army is greatly boosted.
Lin Jiao thought of many questions in an instant, and his subordinates naturally didn't know what the general was worried about, so he only pointed to a certain place in the city and replied, "Yes." General, please look at ......, that is the banner of the king of Chu. β
Holding the Lu Lijing left by General Chu, Lin Jiao finally saw the flag fluttering in the wind. The dragon is yangyang, the dragon on the flag rises and falls, and the flag end and bell are shining in the sun.
In addition to the flag, another large flag fluttered in the air, and the pattern on it attracted Lin Jiaoβa colorful bird with a proud neck and a double flower crown on its head, its wings stretched horizontally, like a human raised horizontally, its forearms erect, and its wings and tails bent inward. It's not too strange for birds to make such a pose, and what is really strange is that the tail of the wings of the hook is actually painted with one eye, which is two bird heads.
"What is this?" Lin Jiao handed Lu Lijing to the strategist beside him, "Bird, there is a three-headed strange bird on the flag." β
"Birds?" The strategist was a little rusty with Lu Lijing, he stiffly held this novelty, and finally saw the strange bird that Lin Jiao said. "General Yu, it's a phoenix, the Chu people worship the phoenix, and this is the phoenix. The crested corolla is a fairy tree Langji, Lao Tzu once sighed: "I heard that there is a bird in the south, its name is phoenix, one person with three heads, hand it up, to serve Langji", this is the three-headed phoenix, immortal and immortal. β
The strategist carefully handed Lu Lijing back to Lin Jiao, and finally said: "The Chu people are heavy witches, the king of Chu is a spiritual cultivator among witches, and the king of Chu has arrived." β
"Report ββ!" Someone on the north side rushed to the north and shouted before he got close: "Report to the general, the north gate has been captured by the Chu army." β
The north gate is not the gate of the north city, but the north gate of the west city. The south gate was recovered by the Chu army just now, and now Lin Jiao has only this middle gate in his hands. The 50,000 army entered the city, because the city was narrow, the Chu army resisted fiercely, and no more than 40,000 people really entered the city, and the Chu army in the city was not less than 30,000. And the five thousand warriors have just been defeated, and the king of Chu is coming again......
"Tell the generals to defend their own doors!" He never wanted to quit and go to Lin Jiao, and he had to guard the middle door no matter what.
"Report!" Someone rushed up to the city tower again, and the people who came shouted: "Xiang Bang ordered the general to withdraw from Chen City, and the violators will be dealt with by military law!" β
"Alas!" This side has just been newly defeated, and the order to withdraw the army over there, Lin Jiao sighed heavily, and what made him even more desperate was that Wei Ying was making a big noise at this time, this was the military order for the withdrawal of the army, and the soldiers would hear the golden sound and involuntarily retreat outside the city.
"General, the general trend has gone, please withdraw from Chen Cheng." Several lieutenants bowed to each other. One of them even said: "Xu is King Qin's mind has changed again, and this time he is going to withdraw his troops again." β
Even the generals of the Wei army are like ordinary people who don't understand everything in the world. In the face of all kinds of unbelievable actions, they can only accept it and protect themselves. Last time, it was said that the army had arrived in Chu, and the Qin people changed their minds and stopped fighting, and the Wei army had to withdraw with it. After that, Wei Chu was about to make friends again, and the Qin people suddenly said that they were going to attack Chu again. Now this kind of move of attacking the city and exiting the city, the Wei generals are not surprised, they have long been accustomed to it.
"yes. General, Xiangbang obeys the Qin people in everything, but the Qin people don't cut down for a while, they don't take it seriously, so why should we take it seriously? "The golden voice outside the city is getting more and more urgent, the fighting inside the city is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more adjutant generals in favor of withdrawing.
"General?" Several lieutenants all looked at Lin Jiao, they didn't want to fight this kind of nest battle for a long time.
"Withdraw." Lin Jiao's cheeks bit and bited, and the word withdrawal was squeezed out of his teeth. He always wanted to go back to the camp and ask Xiangbang why he had withdrawn his troops by himself.
"Ahh You say, the king of Chu has arrived in Chencheng?! Lin Jiao, who withdrew from Chen Ying, was about to ask why Xiangbang had withdrawn his troops, but he didn't want Ziji to answer at all, but asked if the king of Chu had really arrived in Chencheng.
"Yes, yes. Although he didn't see him, he saw the banner and the phoenix flag. Dare to ask Xiangbang, why did our army withdraw from Chencheng after the bloody battle was allowed to enter the city? Isn't the blood of the soldiers ......" Lin Jiao is still pursuing the withdrawal from Chen Cheng, and he doesn't know that the king of Chu is the focus of everything.
"This battle is not for Chen Cheng but for the king of Chu." Ziji replied casually, and then hurried out of the shogunate, and before getting into the car, he instructed the army to prepare for the siege tonight, and this time he hurried to the Qin camp.
"King Jing has arrived in Chen City?" The Qin army shogunate, Xin Wu, who heard that the king of Chu had entered the city, was overjoyed, "Is this true?" β
"General Lin Jiao saw it with his own eyes, and it was true." Ziji said. "It's a pity that our army has withdrawn from Chencheng, otherwise it would ......"
"Definitely." Xin Wu shook his head. "The Jing people have a boat master, even if the city is broken, the Jing people will escort the king of Jing to board the boat and leave, can the 400,000 troops of Qin and Wei tread the waves?"
"The meaning of the general...... Do you want to capture King Jing alive? Ziji was a little puzzled. Chen Cheng is a rich county in the state of Chu, and there is no king in the state of Chu, so there is another one, why bother to capture the king of Chu? Could it be that the art of iron and the art of war boats were really created by the king of Chu? The reason why the Qin people wanted to be captured alive was to force him to say the second technique?
"Why do you want to be captured alive?" Xin Wu asked rhetorically. "Ben Jiang is just worried that King Jing will escape in the war boat." After saying this, he laughed again and said, "This time I killed King Jing, and the king only asked me to kill King Jing, but he never asked me to capture King Jing alive. β
"Why do you have to kill King Jing?" Ziji forgot his identity for a while because of curiosity.
"Why?" Xin Wu looked at him with a smile, and pondered for a while before saying: "Please also ask Xiangbang to go to Xianyang to ask the king in person, Wu is just a military general, how do you know what the king thinks?" β
