Chapter 30: Chess Meets Opponents

The next day, not south of the city.

When the first golden morning sun shines on the city, 20,000 tiger brigades have come to the city, swords and guns are like a forest, the endless banners are crackled by the morning wind, the horns and war drums are played together, making a passionate and loud sound, resounding throughout the universe, and the iron shield and armor blades reflect the dazzling cold light under the golden morning sun!

"Tiger Army, I am invincible, kill and kill!"

The killing cry that shocked the world came out of the military formation in an instant, and the momentum of the mountain could not be overwhelmed by the county seat!

Tai Shi Ci, Le Jin, Man Chong, Cao Xing, Xu Chu and Dian Wei Zhou Cang of the Guards Regiment were guarding a general with a calm face and heavy armor. The general's gaze swept over Tai Shici, Le Jin, and Man Chong, and asked with a smile: "Ziyi, Wen Qian, and Bo Ning, the three of you came overnight last night, and you slept for less than three hours, can the soldiers fight?" ”

"Please rest assured, my morale is strong, and everyone is seeking to fight!" The three of them replied in unison.

"Well, in that case, prepare for war!" I laughed.

Pei Yuanshao raised the command flag in his hand, tore open the loud voice like a broken gong, and shouted loudly: "Sons and daughters of the engineer battalion, now it's our turn to show our talents!" ”

Immediately, countless wheelbarrows were piled up with mud, and under the protection of huge shields like turtle shells, they rushed to the moat outside the city, and with little effort, the road about ten zhang wide gradually extended forward in the moat, and in this way, it did not take an hour to fill in a wide and strong road across the river, and large ladders and other siege equipment could easily reach the city walls.

At the head of the city, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other big and small leaders looked down at the wheelbarrow formation that was constantly pushing forward under the city, all of them had gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Humph!" A muffled snort of disdain came from the stone steps of the city wall, and the cold female general stepped up the city wall quickly, her face was cold, and she said to everyone: "A few wheelbarrows will make you look like this bear, aren't you all self-proclaimed heroes on weekdays?" ”

The female general has been in power for several years and has a very high prestige in the army. Although the leaders were red-faced, no one came out to defend in public, and they were cold for a while.

After a long time, Zhou Tai saw that the bow and crossbow had little damage to the enemy's car formation, he frowned, stared at the wheelbarrows that were transporting soil and filling the river, and turned his head to the leader of the Juzi and hated to ask for battle: "Juzi, I can't let the officers and soldiers succeed, wait for me to go out of the city and destroy those earth-carrying carts!" ”

That cold and glamorous man looks calm and calm on the surface, but he is very bitter in his heart: the talents of this sect have withered in recent years, and it is far from the grand occasion of the past, and now everything must be taken care of by himself, and his father has passed away for a few years, and the burden of thousands of catties has already weighed him down!

The enemy in front of you is not trivial, just look at the small bulldozer wheelbarrow outside the city, it is also made light and delicate, regardless of the road conditions, any adult can easily transport hundreds of catties of soil, and the discerning person knows at a glance that it is from the hands of skilled craftsmen!

A few years ago, she traveled the world with her father. In Luoyang, she once disguised herself as a man and mixed in the famous Han Central Army-"Northern Army", and deeply felt the strong strength of the "Northern Army"; Later, I witnessed the bravery of the Liangzhou Iron Horse! However, this strong army called the "Tiger Army" will not let it go too far even in front of those world-famous elite soldiers! This is a disciplined and high-spirited army! Yesterday, she wanted to kill the prestige of the officers and soldiers through the fight, Jiang Qin can be called a fierce general, but he was easily defeated, Zhou Tai is brave and unparalleled, but he never expected that there are many masters in the official army, and Zhou Tai can't please him at all!

She is full of strategy and has a strong personality. Half a year ago, the Yellow Turban Army tried to eat black when trading with it. She overrode public opinion, led more than 500 people such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to attack it, killed the yellow scarves in the city, and occupied the county. Seeing that Qu Shuai of Taiping Road was good at fighting, he invited her to join the gang several times, a group of rabble, what kind of climate can it become? She didn't look down on the Yellow Turban Army at all, and didn't pay any attention to it. He lost face, and the Yellow Turban Army under his command attacked him several times with anger, and he returned with great defeat every time, and he didn't dare to provoke him in the future. In the past six months, the well water on both sides has maintained a delicate balance.

But the opponent in front of her is far from being comparable to the yellow scarf she fought with before, looking at the posture of the opponent outside the city, it is not good!

Hearing that Zhou Tai wanted to go out of the city to attack the enemy, the female general retracted her thoughts, her pretty face like frost flashed a smile, looked at Zhou Tai, pointed at the enemy with a long sword, and replied: "Youping, look, those cavalry behind the cart, can you be sure to eat them in one bite?" ”

Zhou Tai looked at the cavalry who was already in battle, and knew that he couldn't do anything, but the bow and crossbow had nothing to do with those shields!

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone gathered together to ask the female general for advice on how to fight the enemy, and when the female general saw this, she suddenly giggled, and asked instead of answering: "Isn't it a class to attack the city with a few small cars?" Even if you can really fill in a path, you can attack my city?! Could it be that we people are not even familiar with the method of guarding the city passed down by our ancestors? ”

Hearing these words, the gloom suddenly dispersed from everyone's hearts. Yes, our hundreds of years of inheritance, are we really afraid that others will attack the city?

Seeing that morale was available, the female general pressed her palms virtually. After a while, seeing that everyone had quieted down, she solemnly ordered: "The bow and crossbow team, divided into three sections, the target - the unicycle group, throw!" ”

Hundreds of arrows flew into the air in an instant, gathered into a black and oppressive dark cloud, and then fell straight into the wheelbarrow array that was busy filling the river, and immediately the screams stopped. Those large shields can block the arrows that shoot straight ahead, and when the enemy attacks with projectiles, the number of shields is too small, even if they raise their shields to protect the top of their heads, how many people can they cover?

Seeing this, the female general ordered the bows to be divided into two groups, one throwing and the other shooting straight.

Suddenly, countless sharp arrows were once again powerful, they were as fast as the wind and as dense as rain, forming a three-dimensional blow to greet the soldiers who filled the moat.

The casualties of the engineer battalion that filled in the earth increased greatly, and nearly 100 people were killed by arrows. I saw that my heart was tight, and I felt a lot of pain, every soldier was carefully selected by me, and I did not hesitate to work hard to train the seedlings of good soldiers, and I felt distressed when I lost one, and it would not be a great loss to fill it with human life. I hurriedly ordered the gong to be struck and the troops were withdrawn.

"Lord, give me another hour, and my engineer battalion will definitely be able to fill in the road! "

Pei Yuanshao ran to the big tent with an impatient face, begging me earnestly.

I beckoned to Pei Fatzi and said softly, "Yuan Shao, you come here with your ears, you just need to do this...... "

When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately smiled and took his life.

An hour later, the wheelbarrow burst out of the formation again. At this time, the shape of the carts changed slightly, and each cart was equipped with a wooden canopy, just enough to protect the soldiers of the cart, and they were no longer afraid of arrows from the city.

The face of the female chief of the city changed slightly, look at this posture, the moat is no longer able to stop the pace of the enemy's advance! In a short time, some heavy and thick timbers of all kinds were lifted out of the tower, and some people went up to assemble these materials, and in less than a meal, a wheeled machine came into being. It is shaped like an old-fashioned basketball hoop in a car, about five or six meters high, and a large mace-like thick log is hoisted from a set of wooden pulleys at the top.

"Jiang Qin, smash me with a catapult and buy time as much as possible! The female leader commanded.

Jiang Qin's face was embarrassed, but he knew that it would take time to assemble the equipment to defend the city, so he finally nodded and carried it out.

The beauty also knew Jiang Qin's meaning, this trebuchet was too small, only three or four, not enough to destroy the wheelbarrow, and the damage to the enemy was limited. She couldn't help but whisper, if Pu Yuan's kid was here, he wouldn't have to worry about the use of a large trebuchet......

The progress of the river reclamation under the city was faster than expected, and the wheelbarrow was scattered back in an orderly manner after the mission was completed, and five huge vehicle-mounted ladders showed their fangs in the cheers of countless soldiers.

The female chief looked at the surging siege weapon, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, she was not mistaken, the other party really has a ladder, and it is a closed ladder, so that others have nowhere to attack, this officer and soldier is really not easy to mess with!

With a loud bang, the ladder was set up on the city wall, the iron hook at the top of the ladder was firmly hooked to the battlements, and several defenders could not push the ladder away with their strength, and then the second and third bodies also quickly leaned against the city wall, and the single ladder was crowded between several ladders no less than dozens, and the siege soldiers shouted and rushed up the ladder in the deafening sound of war drums.

"Juzi, the officers and soldiers attacked the city fiercely, and a small group of enemy troops in the east city attacked the city, but fortunately they were killed by Youping. The enemy's ladder is too strong...... Jiang Qin hurried from the city to ask the chief what he could do.

The female leader looked at the various tools being assembled to defend the city, and saw that it was almost finished. She pointed her finger at the car that hit the wood like a basketball hoop, and instructed Jiang Qin: "Gong Yi, there are five enemy ladders, you quickly lead five crashing cars, one-on-one, destroy these ladders!" "

Jiang Qin was overjoyed and asked the sergeant to push the wooden cart and move quickly towards the ladders everywhere.

I stood on the watchtower and saw the pirates pushing out a few strange cars, and secretly screamed badly.

Sure enough, the heavy mace-shaped killing weapon fell from a height of five or six meters and smashed the ladder, the ladder immediately shook violently, and the soldiers on the ladder couldn't stabilize their bodies, and fell one by one like a rolling gourd......

The attack of the ladder was blocked, and those single ladders lacked cover, and were attacked by the oil and stones rolling from the city, and they were immediately frustrated.

Suddenly, the enemy at the head of the city shouted loudly...... Not good, one of our army's ladders was smashed, and the form developed like this, which is obviously not good for our side. I rushed down the watchtower and immediately gathered my troops back to the camp, and I had to figure out another way to deal with the crash at the head of the city.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a local solution......

In the afternoon, 30 long ladders and two reinforced ladders leaned against the city wall to test the siege. When the defenders of the city saw that the enemy was gone, they also pushed out two crashing cars, and approached the ladder, and the wolf's teeth on the top of the log smacked towards the ladder, and the reinforced ladder still shook violently. The pirates immediately pulled the rope on the pulley again, trying to do the same and bombarded the ladder again.

Unexpectedly, several iron hooks protruded from the mouth of the ladder and hooked the ropes tied to the ends of the rolling log. It turned out that one of the two soldiers hiding at the entrance of the ladder was holding an iron hook with a hollow circle at the back end, and when he was hooking the rolling log, the other two soldiers quickly tied it to the ladder with hemp rope through the circle of the back handle, so that the crashing wooden cart had failed.

Seeing that this plan took effect, the remaining ladders immediately followed, and in an instant, our army was greatly invigorated.

Soon, he broke through several defenders' lines and set up several temporary positions at the ladder to cover the cells behind.

On the western wall, the battle between the two sides has entered a white heat.

As soon as one officer and soldier were killed, more enemy troops jumped up at another ladder. Jiang Qin wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and hurriedly rushed over there...... He fought back and forth against the enemy, exhausted by his life, and although he killed and repelled several groups of enemy soldiers, more officers and soldiers were killed on the city wall, and the form became more and more unfavorable to the bandits.

The tiger soldiers who attacked the city were also uncomfortable, and the loss of more than 200 people barely hit the city wall, and the soldiers were all furious, and since the formation of the army, they had never fought such a humiliating battle.

Seeing another wave of brothers being strangled by the brave enemy general, Dian Wei's five fingers holding the iron halberd gurgled, and his eyes were about to erupt into flames. I have sensed the evil desire to fight, and how can I not be the same myself? I was amazed by the power of these pirates, and at the same time I was infuriated: how can a small pirate be so difficult? In the future, if you face the demon king Dong Zhuo's cool iron cavalry or the foreign cavalry that comes and goes like the wind and is extremely ferocious, wouldn't it be even more unpredictable...... Thinking of the opponents he would face in the future, his anger quickly turned into frustration, and he was still complacent about the fighting power of the Tiger Army before, but now he knew that he was still far from the top forces of this era!

Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, this little lonely city can really block Lao Tzu's way!

I closed my eyes and pondered, cheering myself up repeatedly, and my confidence was gathering little by little... If you want to have the capital to protect yourself in troubled times, you have to strengthen your strength as soon as possible, or you must win it immediately!

I'm in a race against time!

As soon as I thought of this, I expelled all distracting thoughts and shouted: "Evil comes to listen to the order, take the tiger guard and capture that guy!" "I pointed to Jiang Qin, who was in the middle of a battle, and instructed Dian Wei.

After that, I rolled up my long sleeves, boarded the drum cart, grabbed the drum with both hands, and cheered hard.

Seeing the commander beating the war drums in person, the soldiers in front of the battle were excited, and they struck the shield with their swords, making a roar that shook the sky, and their morale became higher and higher.

Dian Wei's huge body was like an agile ape at this time, he thought that the ladder was too crowded, and quickly jumped onto a long naked single ladder, holding a shield in his left hand to protect his head, and using an iron halberd in his right hand to pull out arrows, stones and bricks like locusts, and in a blink of an eye he jumped onto the city wall. The tiger guards who followed closely behind were all the elite of our army's elite, and they were also all in one go, and none of them pulled down.

Dozens of tiger guards and Dian Wei formed a sharp sword, Dian Wei was the head of the sword, and where it passed, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, the defenders suffered a one-sided slaughter, and in a moment cleared the city wall within a range of dozens of zhang. Dian Weili has experienced dozens of battles, he does not blindly kill the enemy, but divides the tiger guards of more than 60 people into three parts, two departments and more than 40 people to guard the exit of the two ladders, and he himself commands the remaining more than 20 people to capture and kill the brave enemy general.

Jiang Qin saw that the enemy was brave, and no one on his side was his enemy, so he roared and rushed towards Dian Wei!
