"Kill!" Finally, a Qin pawn climbed the city wall, but they had just shouted half a sentence of kill, and they were pushed out by the county pawn with a ladder. There are ladders for siege, and hooks and sickles for defending cities. The hook and sickle was originally a weapon of the boat division, the purpose of which was to hook the enemy's boat and pull it over for gang jumping, and the hook and sickle to defend the city was also to hook the enemy's ladder. However, unlike the hook and sickle of the boat master, there is a kind of rejection angle on the hook and sickle of the defending city, that is, there are two branches that stretch forward diagonally after the hook.

The function of the hook is to grab the ladder and pull it back, and the function of the angle rejection is to hold the ladder and push it forward. The ladder is not a simple ladder, its root is the ladder cart, it is difficult for the defenders to push the ladder down, but the ladder can be pushed out. Once a few feet away from the wall, the ladder is unstable, and even if the enemy can climb to the top of the ladder, it will be far from the female wall.

And if the ladder cart under the city wants to change its position and avoid the area with the hook sickle, the ladder is hooked by the hook at the front end of the hook sickle. The purpose of the so-called 'rejecting if you advance, and hooking up if you retreat' is to put the enemy in a dilemma.

The vast majority of the Qin army's thousands of ladders were rejected from the female wall by the county guards with hooks and sickles, and only a very few of the ladders were not rejected because the Qin soldiers jumped on the city. A Qin pawn ascended the city, and the pawns behind him rushed in, and in the firelight, the soldiers on both sides shouted loudly as soon as they saw each other, and then fought fiercely on the city.

"Report ——!" The county Sima Mansion, Chen Jian also appeared at this time. But the panicked military officials did not salute him at all, and only said loudly: "The Wei army has rushed to the city, our army is fighting with it, and the county soldiers are insufficient, please send reinforcements quickly, and it will be ...... later."

"Report ——!" Another person rushed in from outside, half of his face was sweat, half of his face was blood, and when he saw the county prince and the county Sima, he did not salute, but only shouted: "There are many people who have climbed the city in Qin, and everyone dares to die, the right Sima please send reinforcements quickly, and it will not be able to hold it if it is too late." ”

"What about the five thousand reinforcements before?" Chen can't be restless for a long time. Because it was night, he couldn't effectively command the enemy without knowing the enemy's situation, let alone go out of the city to copy the back road of the Qin army and force it to retreat, maybe the Qin army was waiting for him outside the city.

"There are more than 1,000 Qin people, and there are tens of thousands of people as soon as they enter the city, please send reinforcements to Sima Su." The person who came finally wiped his face, sweat and blood were mixed, and the black ash that floated everywhere when the firewood was burning, the whole face was immediately spent.

"Then the general will send another five thousand." Hearing that there were tens of thousands of Qin troops, Chen Bu had to send an additional 5,000 people to Beicheng.

"Sima, there are nearly 10,000 Wei troops in Xicheng, and the Wei people have swept away the past and cowered, and they are good at fighting. The 2,000 people of our army plus Chai Fan who retreated into the city are only 5,000 people, and if we don't send reinforcements, Xicheng will be lost......"

With the previous arrangement, the entire Chen Ying garrison was only 30,000, and the city was supposed to be more than 10,000, but fortunately, as long as Chai Fan guarded the north and west, there were no more than 15,000 people, and now 10,000 people have been sent to reinforce the northern city.

The Xicheng military officials pitifully begged for help, and the sanitation general Yang Yu was just about to ask for reinforcements to Xicheng, but Chen Bu waved his hand to block it. "The Qin people are so eager to attack the city, there must be a demon here!"

Attacking the city at night is inherently weird, and once it is not well organized, the soldiers will even trample on each other, but the Qin and Wei armies are attacking the city at night; Not to mention the actions of the Wei army, they were originally here to supervise the Qin army, but now everyone is actually good at fighting.

"Yu Sima, the enemy army is attacking the city at night, and this is to avoid my crossbow stone bullets. The Wei army has always been cowardly, and it is because of the courage of our army tonight. "No one knows the situation outside the city at night, and Chen Qi can only say his own guess." Perhaps, in another half an hour, the Wei army will have to withdraw. ”

"No!" Chen Bu finally thought of something. "City gates! Yes, it's the city gate! The city is attacked in a hurry, and the city gate should be unguarded. His frowning brows suddenly loosened, and he ordered loudly: "General Yang listens to the order, and orders your troops to send six soldiers to rush to the three gates of the northern city, if the Qin people break through the city gate, don't block them out of the city!" ”

"The last general commands!" Yang Yu let out a loud shout, took Chen Ke's feather and hurried out. Six guards guarded the three city gates, each with two guards and more than 500 guards, and he believed that these spearmen would be able to keep the Qin army out of the city gates.

"Chen Beg!" Chen Bu said again, "You bring 1,500 people to reinforce Xicheng, don't drive the Wei army off the city." ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Qi also drank heavily, and ran out with the feather.

"This, this ......" There was a shout of killing in the west and north cities, and it was dark again, and Chen Jian was very worried that the Qin army would attack the city.

"Don't worry about the county magistrate." Chen Bu, who was confident, laughed, and now he found the feeling he had when he was defending Chengyang. "The Qin people are just taking advantage of the night, the summer days are long and the nights are short, and in two hours, the Qin people will retreat as soon as the sky is bright."

According to the Chu calendar, the seventh month is the tenth day of the day and the sixth day of the sun, that is, ten hours during the day and six hours at night. It was already midnight when the Wei army attacked the city, and it was indeed only two hours by dawn. Chen Jian also knew this truth, but the time was too difficult, and the water from the leaky pot was dripping down drop by drop, but the arrow ruler on the pot didn't seem to have dropped at all. How is the northern city, how is the western city, there is no sign at all in the chaotic fighting. At this moment, he can only ask the Eastern Emperor Taiyi to bless Chen Ying and not let the Qin people break the city. Once the city is broken, the Qin people who are vying for the head will definitely cut off the heads of the people in the city.

"County Prince," Chen Bi shouted to Chen Jian lightly, "Since the county Sima has already made arrangements, please rest earlier." ”

"Huh? Kindness. With decades of tacit understanding, Chen Jian heard something else from his words, he nodded, and said to Chen Buyi: "This prince will rest first, and the matter of defending the city will be handed over to you." ”

In addition to sanitation and palace armor, the soldiers who can be sent out have all been sent out, and only Chen Bu and some military officials are left in the huge county Sima Mansion. ”

"Not necessarily." Chen Jian stopped, "I'm just going to the county Yin Mansion to rest, not to go back to the house." ”

"County duke," when he arrived at the county Yin Mansion, he waved back left and right, and Chen Bi stepped forward. "I have prepared two warships at the water gate in the south of the city."

"You don't have to prepare a boat." Chen Jian waved his hand, he also thought that the Qin army would retreat as soon as it was dawn. "But the king ......, the king did not land in Shenyi, did not land in Huyi, and did not land in Juyang."

Shenyi is the first city on the water after leaving the Yingdu, Shenyi used to be Huyi, Huyi used to be Juyang, and Juyang was Yangling and Xiangxian in the past. After leaving Yingdu, no matter how fast the boat is, you have to land and stay in Shenyi, Huyi, and Juyang. Strangely, there was no news of the king's landing in the three places.

"It is already dark, and the king has no time to send a message when he lands on the shore." Feixun can't deliver a message when it's dark, even if the three places want to send a message, they can't send a message when it's dark.

"I hope so." Chen Jian was not sure about this, "I thought that the king would arrive at the latest day, at that time,"

Chen Jian only said half of what he said, and the other half relied on Chen Bi's comprehension, and the county magistrate was worried about what Chen Bi knew, he said: "The Qin and Wei armies attacked the city at night, and many rockets flew over the city and fell into the city, igniting a ......fire."

"Ahem...... coughed, he no longer looked at Chen Bi, and only waved his hand: "I'm tired, stand down." If it weren't for the destruction of the city, don't bother me again tonight. ”

"Yui." Chen Bi respectfully waved at him, and then withdrew in small steps. He did not return home, but came to the county jail. The army attacked the city, and all the prisoners in the county jail were awakened. In a dimly lit room, Prison Peng Guo Li was pressing the bronze sword in his hand, and he was pouring wine vigorously, his eyes were blood-red, and the soapy clothes on his body had a fishy smell that was difficult to wash.

"The day after tomorrow is coming," after the jailer retreated, Chen Bi did not talk nonsense. "Do it tonight."

"Tonight?" Guo Li was taken aback, and his face trembled and trembled. "There are county guards everywhere tonight, if ......"

“…… That's it. Chen Bi stopped him and whispered in his ear for a while.

"How's the honor?" Guo Li asked Yushi again, Rao is a murderer who does not blink, and he is also a headache for Yushi. Especially most of the sanitation palace armor in Wangcheng are honorary scholars, once they are provoked, the county prince can't protect himself.

"Yushi, tomorrow, Sima County will send them out of the city to fight the Qin people to the death." Chen Biyin smiled, this is something that has been discussed before.

"The villain knows." Guo Li couldn't help but nod again and again, it was best to get rid of those honorable soldiers with the hands of the fake Qin army.

"Go quickly!" Chen Bi finally said a word and left the house, and turned around a few times in the dark night, but he didn't know where he went. After he left, Guo Li called a dozen prison guards and told them to find some things, and after half an hour, he went out with a group of people.

"Advance——! ——!! "The upper floor of the north city is full of the voice of the right Sima Chen Bu, as soon as the new five thousand reinforcements arrived, the Chu army carried out a counterattack with the advantage of troops. The county guards were to form ten columns on the city wall, arranged in several small formations of forty lines, with the long soldiers in front, and fought along the city wall, and if there were casualties, they were replenished from the rear.

For the convenience of fighting, the Qin soldiers who ascended to the city mostly had short soldiers in their hands, and few long soldiers, even if they captured the hook and sickle of the county guard, that thing was not suitable for queue fighting. Three city gates, the north wall is sandwiched into two sections, both ends of the two sections have county guards to advance, and the city because of the fire guidance, the archers aimed their arrows at the Qin soldiers on the city, where the county soldiers advanced, the arrow rain covered where, the Qin people who were attacked on three sides had to retreat.

"Advance——! Advance ——! Chen Bu's shouts and drums could not be concealed, and the city wall that had been occupied by Qin soldiers gradually returned to the hands of the Chu army. At this time, no matter how worry-free he is, the Qin army will be defeated tonight.

"Quick! Fast! Push! "In the sound of the snare drums, there are also people shouting vigorously, and this is outside the city gates. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the huge cart pushed through the moat and slammed into the closed gate.

"Bang ——!" With the first impact, the middle gate more than three feet wide made a muffled sound, and half of the mud fell between the copper nails on the city gate, and the doorman inside shouted like a pot: "Rush the door, rush the door!" ”
