Although the bed crossbow is inconvenient to operate and the operation has to be completed by multiple people, it is extremely lethal.

An arm-thick crossbow bolt can be nailed into a city wall.

This power is far beyond the reach of arrows.

Therefore, seeing dozens of bed crossbows surrounded by the rebels, Liu Xi's heart immediately lifted.

Behind the bed crossbow, there were countless stone throwers and several ladders that were being carried.

Obviously, Dong Ge wants to take Chongzhou City today!

"Yusheng, what's the trick?"

On the side, Ma Xiu's face was full of anxiety, and it was obvious that he also saw that the rebels had suddenly increased a lot of siege weapons, and the momentum of the siege was also rising.

At this time, Liu Xi was silent.

But judging from his frowning brows, Ma Xiu knew that Liu Xi was trying to think of a way to break the enemy at the moment, so even if he was quite worried and uneasy, he had to swallow his words, and his sweaty palms wiped on the bricks and stones that were shot by arrows, and then raised his bow and shot arrows, aiming at a black armor captain under the city.

How can you destroy the bed crossbow and catapult?

Liu Xi kept asking himself in his heart, and his thoughts also turned quickly, the best range of the bed crossbow was seven hundred steps, that is, a distance of about two hundred zhang.

Stone-throwing trucks, on the other hand, can be at a much greater distance.

At such a long distance, Liu Xi could shoot the person operating the bed crossbow with arrows, but if there was a steel shield to protect it, then Liu Xi could not stop the launch of the bed crossbow.

Not to mention the rock-throwing trucks.

It is an impossible task to rush out of the city to destroy the bed crossbow and the stone throwing cart, and the army under the city is densely packed, and it is difficult to rush to the bed crossbow, let alone destroy all of them.

Unless Liu Xi personally stepped out, but this time he gave the other party a master's tongue, so that he could fall into a more disadvantageous situation.

After thinking about it, Liu Xi seemed to think that the only way to use a stone-throwing truck to throw boulders and smash the rebels' engineering equipment was the most appropriate way.

However, the accuracy of the catapult is limited.

The head hurts a little, at this moment Liu Xi suddenly misses Hua Erlang who is far away in Yangqu City, if he is there, prepare some gunpowder and organize some soldiers who are not afraid of death, but he can also give it a try.

At present, such a situation is undoubtedly another heavy blow to the soldiers defending the city.

Just when Liu Xi was thinking about it, the crossbow and the stone-throwing cart had already arrived in front of him, the bow and crossbow were wound, and the boulder was also placed on the throwing pocket, and the next moment, the crossbow arrow with thick arms pierced through the sky.

Mixed with flying stones in the sky.

"Beware of dodging!"

didn't have time to think about it, Liu Xi roared angrily.

Ma Xiu, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, immediately came back to his senses, and issued the order again in Shu, and there were soldiers with quick eyes and quick hands to retreat in time, but there were also people who could not escape this dense attack.

Many panicked soldiers were smashed by flying stones and lost their lives on the spot, and some soldiers were pierced through the iron armor by crossbow arrows and nailed to the masonry of the city wall.

For a while, the screams came and went.

"Yusheng, I want to go out of the city!"

It should have been a pair of watery peach blossom eyes full of killing intent, and Ma Xiu, who was clenching his fists, said in a low voice, and the hatred in the heart of this docile person when he saw the scene of heavy casualties was completely aroused, and at this moment he had completely turned into a roaring beast.

Hearing this, Liu Xi and Xiao Wu made a look, and the latter immediately jumped out clearly and blocked in front of Ma Xiu, "Chongzhou City is now in turmoil, do you want to send it to the guillotine one more step?" ”

Throwing out the Qiankun fan, knocking the oncoming crossbow arrows away, and catching the fan that flew back, Ma Xiu's brows twisted into a hemp ball, "But you can't watch the soldiers give their lives here, and I, the prince of Shu, are hiding behind me, this kind of thing, Ma Jinchao will never be able to do it!" ”

As he spoke, several boulders smashed on Ma Xiu's side, and immediately the gravel flew, smashing the masonry at the head of the city, and the boulder that bounced knocked down a soldier who was dodging in a panic in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Ma Xiu's eyes were even more scarlet, as if he had rushed blood, and his figure took a few steps forward, as if he was about to forcibly rush past Xiao Wu.

Liu Xi strode forward and dragged Ma Xiu behind him, "Today, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, as the person who presides over the overall situation, no matter when, you can't mess up, otherwise who should the soldiers and people in this city trust!" Have you ever thought that you rushed out just now, maybe you relieved the resentment in your heart, but once you go, it is difficult to return, the soldiers who defend the city have lost the commander, and if the commander loses, the morale will be greatly broken, how can you let the soldiers continue to defend the city against the enemy? ”

Liu Xi used a little bit of strength to say these words, so listening to them made people feel that he was already a little angry, which made Ma Xiu, who was full of hatred, slowly calm down.

Liu Xi saw that Ma Xiu was silent, knowing that his words had an effect, and patted Ma Xiu's shoulder again, "You and I don't want to see the soldiers die, but we can't act rashly, although we haven't found a way to destroy the siege weapons outside the city at the moment, but they can't break the city in a short time, after all, these tools have been used for several days since the siege of the city, and they have not defeated the soldiers defending the city." ”

Ma Xiu took a deep breath, his chest continued to rise and fall, obviously trying to calm himself, and then said, "Yusheng, if this siege equipment is not destroyed, Chongzhou City will be killed soon." ＂

After that, he looked at Liu Xi eagerly, and Ma Xiu at this moment wanted Liu Xi to come up with a wonderful plan.

Sighing, Liu Xi looked at the crossbow arrows and flying stones that were still rushing in the distance, and slowly shook his head, "There is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and I don't have any way, maybe these siege equipment sent by Dong Gela also has the meaning of luring us out of the city, so let's wait for the time being, just let the soldiers defending the city hide from safety, first, their crossbow arrows and boulders are also limited, and it is impossible to use them like this forever, and secondly, as long as the soldiers defending the city retain their strength, this Chongzhou City will not be broken for a while." ”

Ma Xiu's brows tightened again, he thought for a long time, and said with a little helplessness, "Now it's the only way to go." ”

Although the destructive power of the bows and crossbows and boulders was huge, it was indeed as Liu Xi expected, and after half an hour, the offensive under the city stopped.

The siege soldiers under the city gathered again, and with them were still the ladders and the city-rushing trees.

As soon as the crossbow arrows on the opposite side stopped, and without Liu Xi's orders, the defenders at the head of the city spontaneously picked up the previous crossbow arrows and boulders, and the speed was very fast, because they knew that the more they collected, the more they could fight back.

can also avenge the brother who just died.

Soon, the besieging rebels under the city suffered a lot, and in a roaring shout, the defenders of the city continued to shoot crossbow arrows and boulders.

It seems that he is about to vent his anger.

Under the blow of dense stones and crossbow arrows, even if the siege rebels were brave, they gradually lost their formation, and if it were not for the prison army armed with swords and axes in the battle, many people who were afraid of retreating would have to run away.

But even so, there were also soldiers with one enemy and ten soldiers who could rush to the head of the city, and with their loud howls, they could not help but greatly boost the morale of the rebels in the rear.

Soon, however, these people were killed by a few arrows that flew in unison.

The offensive and defensive situation lasted for about an hour, and the corpses under the city became more and more, and the blood flowed everywhere, like ditches and rivers, and finally gathered in one place.

Under the light of the sun, which gradually moved into the sky, it was dark red and bright, dazzling to the eye.

It was not until the sound of the horn of the rebel camp that the battle of life and death was temporarily suspended.

At the head of the city, the soldiers with sweat and blood grinned, although Chongzhou City was still surrounded by a large army, every time the rebels were repulsed, it was a victory for them.

At this moment, they were exhausted, but these soldiers didn't have time to rest, and they had already begun to get busy without Liu Xi's orders.

Bandage wounds, repair walls, and pick up arrows and stones that can still be used.

A group of people dressed in sleeveless animal skins also appeared at the head of the city, which were the people of Chongzhou City, who had been waiting in the city, who came to help rescue the wounded when the fighting stopped, and many of them held tools and worked with the soldiers to improve the city wall that had been smashed by the boulders.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be greatly moved, even if I knew that I was at a disadvantage, but I was a little more encouraged.

The people's hearts are like this, why worry about the injustice of the enemy?

But Liu Xi was not so pretentious as to think that with the unity of the people and soldiers of the city, he could defeat the 100,000 army outside the city, as well as the rebels who were constantly coming.

Therefore, Liu Xi's brows are always intertwined, like two silkworms bent and tightly wrapped around their bodies due to pain, obviously trying to think of a way to break the enemy.

At this moment, he was under great pressure in his heart.

After a long time, Liu Xi smashed his fist on the uneven masonry and sighed deeply, no matter what, he couldn't think of the best way to do it other than the oil oil.

Glancing at Dong Ge, who was still standing under the banner of Zhaozhan in the distance, Liu Xi sighed in his heart, if he could be killed last night, it would be great.

This time, these rebels were leaderless and crushed with a single blow.

Rudderless ship?

Thinking of this, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in Liu Xi's mind, as if he saw the sun through the clouds, which made his whole body feel uplifted, and he was busy with Ma Xiu beside him, "Today, I have a plan to solve the siege of Shu!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu, who was staring at the helplessness outside the city, immediately lit up his eyes, and grabbed Liu Xi's shoulders tightly with both hands, "Yusheng, but seriously!" ”

"Capture the thief and capture the king first."

Ma Xiu looked back at Dong Ge in the distance, "Yu Sheng is going to assassinate Dong Ge again?" ”

Liu Xi shook his head.

Ma Xiu's face was puzzled.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice, "The biggest leader of the rebels is Dong Gela." ”

Xiao Wu's voice fell, and Ma Xiu immediately took two steps back in shock, and then he realized that the king that Liu Xi wanted to capture and kill was Tuoba Ao.

Seeing Ma Xiu's expression, Liu Xi immediately understood in his heart that even if Tuoba Ao raised troops to rebel and was planning to take his Ma Xiu's life, Ma Xiu still didn't think about taking the life of this brother at this moment.

Because from beginning to end, Ma Xiu is a person who values love and righteousness.

But the royal family has been thin since ancient times, so why do you have a long relationship with brothers.

Therefore, Liu Xi must let Ma Xiu realize that it has reached a situation where you are dead and I am dying, not to mention that it involves the whole world.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xi patted Ma Xiu's shoulder, "In this way, you can only kill people, think about it again." ”

After saying this, Liu Xi took Xiao Wu to inspect the city, a new round of siege may start soon, and he has to step up his defense in this gap, so that he can once again hold the last position of the Shu Kingdom.
