Chapter 185

Previous Chapter

Three days later, the Southern Chu army seemed to have finally rested and was once again under the city.

After three days of rest, Mu Jin and the others and the people of Yuehua City were naturally ready.

The enemy's artillery mount also seems to have been repaired and pushed out today.

Qin Moxuan, Mu Jin, as well as Yue Qingqian and the city lord and others, stood on the city wall.

The city lord of Yuehua City was a little afraid of the artillery fire in the hands of the enemy army, and reminded: "The enemy's artillery fire is very powerful, we have to be extremely careful. ”

Qin Moxuan and Mu Jin glanced at each other, very calm.

Qin Moxuan suddenly said: "At this distance, the bow and arrow can be shot, but the power may be a little lacking." ”

Mu Jin nodded and said, "After all, this artillery frame is a bit bigger." However, there was a tool that was powerful enough to disperse the artillery fire. ”

"What General Mu said, isn't it a crossbow?" Yue Qingqian said.

Mu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Wang...... Mrs. Yang was right, it was the crossbow. ”

Qin Moxuan is now known as Yang Mo, and Yue Qingqian is his wife, called Han Qianyue.

Qin Moxuan and Yue Qingqian both used their mother's surnames.

"This crossbow is much more powerful than a bow and arrow, but I've only seen it once, and I roughly remember what it looks like, but I don't know what it's made of."

Yue Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "I remember a little, but I can't be completely sure. ”

"I know what it looks like, I can draw it." Suddenly, a soldier approached.

This soldier was a little thin, half a head shorter than Yue Qingqian, I don't know if he was too young or why.

When this person appeared, everyone was a little surprised, but the most surprised was Mu Jin.

When he returned to Yunfeng that day, he almost encountered an accident, and it was this person who saved him.

But at that time, he had only met once, and afterwards he wanted to thank him again, but he had already returned to the team, and it was difficult for him to find it.

At that time, I thought that I would wait until I got to Yuehua City to find this person.

"It's you." Mu Jin said with some surprise.

The man glanced up at Mu Jin and called out "General".

Mu Jin was killed at night that day, and he didn't see his face as clearly as he did at this moment.

Those eyes are too bright, a little with this somewhat ordinary face, and there is really a sense of disobedience.

But the eyes seemed very familiar to him.

"You say you know the structure of the crossbow?" Mu Jin asked.

He nodded and said, "I can draw it now." ”

Mu Jin and the others glanced at each other, and Mu Jin said, "Then you immediately go to the camp tent to draw the structure of the crossbow at this moment, and then immediately send someone to make it first." ”

"Yes." The man clenched his fists respectfully, but the posture was a little funny.

Mu Jin ignored the strange feeling in his heart for the time being, after all, at this moment, the two armies were about to go to war.

"With that crossbow, it would be much easier to destroy their artillery mounts. However, at present, we can only use our bows and arrows to break the places where they are fixed with ropes, and it can still be of some use. ”

Qin Moxuan nodded.

The city lord was surprised by the familiar tone and tacit understanding between the two of them, and he asked, "Doesn't General Mu know this Yang Zhuangshi?" ”

Mu Jin twitched the corners of his mouth almost inaudibly, using this Yang Zhuang to describe Qin Moxuan, it was really ...... It's hard to put into words.

Mu Jin coughed dryly twice and said, "I know, this person is His Majesty's right-hand man, so he naturally knows him." ”

Yue Qingqian looked at Qin Moxuan's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Wei Yun said to a few people on the city wall: "I could have given you one last chance, if you surrendered at this time, you will all be my people of Nanchu, and I won't hurt you a bit." ”

As soon as his words fell, it was Mu Jin who took a bow and led arrows to break his battle flag of Nanchu.

He sneered and said, "The people of my Western Qin Kingdom have the protection of my Western Qin Kingdom's army, so why do you need to have trouble in Southern Chu." ”

As soon as Mu Jin's words fell, all the soldiers standing on the city wall and guarding raised their spears in their hands and shouted loudly.

Wei Yun's face was not to mention how wonderful it was, yesterday he was shot down by that unknown person, and today he was shot down by the main general of the Western Qin State.

Nan Chu had already lost face twice, how could he not be angry.

Yue Qingqian looked at this scene and wanted to laugh in her heart. These two people deserve to have grown up together, and even the way they deal with problems is so similar.

"In that case, the general won't have to bother to speak."

He wanted to go to war directly, but was interrupted by Mu Jin and said: "The two armies are fighting, and there is probably only you who waste your lips and tongues like this, General Wei." You are over half a hundred years old, do you have no energy to fight, so you want to win with one mouth? ”

These words made everyone in Yuehua City laugh.

That Wei Yun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he had never been so humiliated.

"Fire!" He gave a direct order.

Qin Moxuan immediately took the bow from the side, directly set up three arrows, and shot at the opponent's artillery mount at a rapid pace, shooting six arrows in succession.

The artillery fire had already been put up, and when it was about to ignite, the artillery fire stand was instantly unusable.

The most surprising thing was that the soldier's hand shook and accidentally ignited the cannon fire.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted, and the people around the artillery fire immediately dispersed.

"Bang-" There was a loud bang, but some soldiers were still affected, and the artillery carriage had been destroyed.

"Hahaha......" This incident made the whole people of Yuehua City laugh.

Mu Jin chuckled and said, "This is about a teammate who is not afraid of god-like opponents and pig-like teammates." ”

Qin Moxuan also rarely smiled in front of people.

However, although this one is destroyed, there are still two that have not been destroyed.

This time, the Southern Chu army brought a total of three artillery mounts over.

Wei Yun was so angry that he immediately killed the soldier who had made a mistake as soon as the soldiers ran over.

"Pull the remaining two artillery mounts by car."

"Yes."

Qin Moxuan and Mu Jin glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other.

Then, Mu Jin gave the order to go out of the city to face the battle.

He led five thousand cavalry and went out to engage the cavalry head-on.

Wei Yun couldn't help but sneer when he saw that the other party had only sent five thousand cavalry.

Sure enough, it's just a stinky boy who hasn't dried up, and he shouldn't be so light on the enemy.

In order to prevent the situation of that night three days ago from happening again, Wei Yun asked people to guard the rear carefully this time, while he himself led an army of 20,000 to rush up and fight the 5,000 cavalry.

The city lord looked at the five thousand cavalry below, who were about to be forced to the foot of the city wall, and couldn't help but feel very worried.

He asked Qin Moxuan: "Is the general too light on the enemy, but only sent 5,000 cavalry." ”

Qin Moxuan was silent, but Yue Qingqian smiled and said, "City Lord, you look at it first." ”

"Go back to the city now!" Mu Jin ordered loudly.

The five thousand cavalry did not fall for the battle, and immediately rode back to the city.

Then, Qin Moxuan immediately ordered, "Prepare the archers, release the arrows!" ”

The soldiers who had been standing on the city wall to guard were immediately replaced by archers, and another rain of arrows shot towards the people below.

Only then did Wei Yun realize that he had been tricked.

Hurriedly ordered: "Quick, go back!" ”

The five thousand cavalry had only been luring them so that the archers on the walls would have a chance to strike.

With such a close distance, it is naturally easy to start.

The artillery fire then fell, and although there was no artillery fire frame in Yuehua City, Mu Jin and others sent troops with them.

Originally, the defense of the city only required artillery fire.

"Go back!" Wei Yun almost screamed.

This is the second time he has been so lightly opposed.

It seems that from today onwards, it may be time for him to take a good look at the Western Qin Kingdom.

Today's Western Qin State is no longer the Western Qin State that could be bullied at will.

In today's battle, the Southern Chu army suffered heavy casualties, and just now Wei Yun attacked with an army of 20,000, but lost 8,000 people.

"I didn't expect that there was such a tacit understanding between the general and Yang Zhuangshi." The city lord said in surprise.

Mu Jin had already returned to the city wall again, he smiled, but did not speak.

Today, this battle forced Wei Yun to retreat again.

In the next three days, every time Wei Yun came, he was repelled by Mu Jin by various means.

He didn't play according to the routine, but it was quite effective in the first few battles.

The Southern Chu Army brought 200,000 troops over, but now it has lost 50,000 troops.

"The next few battles, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight." Mu Jin said.

The city lord asked a little strangely, "Why, didn't the general fight well?" We won the first few battles. Yes, Yang Zhuangshi, Mrs. Yang. ”

He wanted to get the approval of these two people, but he saw that their faces were not relaxed, as if they were thinking about something.

The city lord was a little confused, and seeing that Yang Zhuangshi was as indifferent as ever, he turned his head and asked Yue Qingqian.

"Mrs. Yang, why are everyone's faces a little solemn."

Yue Qingqian smiled very lightly and said, "Wei Yun is a famous general in Southern Chu, he has fought for many years and has extremely rich experience. ”

"At the beginning, General Mu won by surprise and really reaped the results. But it is also inseparable from Wei Yun's own anger and depravity and underestimation of the enemy. On the other hand, Wei Yun was also an old general after all, and he was extremely experienced. When he calms down and no longer underestimates the enemy, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

The city lord finally understood, and said, "Then ...... next?"

Yue Qingqian stopped talking, and at this time, Mu Jin and Qin Moxuan had already set off and walked down the city wall.

Yue Qingqian and the city lord followed.

"General, the crossbow is ready." As soon as they got off the wall, the soldier ran over with a newly-made crossbow in his hand.

This soldier's name is Xiao Ye, which Mu Jin learned after getting the drawings he drawn.

Mu Jin glanced at the crossbow in his hand, his eyes lit up, and said, "I'll try his power." He took the crossbow from Xiao Ye's hand.

Then he aimed at a branch a hundred paces away.

"Whoa—"

The branch snapped in response, and another branch was shot down, which showed its power.

After all, the branches are not thin.

When everyone saw the power, they all burst into applause.
