Chapter 202: The City is Broken
The real battle begins. Before the weekend, he was more casual, and he didn't change his face no matter which side had the upper hand, but now he was a little solemn.
As long as the catapult is destroyed, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Chu army, which can be said to be a winning battle. The catapult of the Jin army in the northwest corner was fully loaded, and the attack was launched first, and the boulder flew over, and the boulder hit the Chu soldiers who were responsible for protecting the crossbowmen, and when it fell, it hit the wall battlement. A deep pit was smashed into the battlement.
At the same time, on Chu Cai's side, the crossbowmen in the southeast corner of the city wall shot iron arrows. The crossbowman's heart seemed to reach his throat. There was a loud "boom", and the catapult immediately fell apart. The people in the same group almost cheered.
Weekend recognition at the right time. "Very well done." There was only one catapult left.
Zhao Jiju's expression remained unchanged, but the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten. Cai Guo is just a small country, and the use of catapults is already a knife to kill chickens, and he didn't want to bring it, but he thought that two catapults could be attacked casually to take down the main city of Cai Guo, so they still brought catapults, but they only brought two. Unexpectedly, the Chu State, which had been inactive, would actually send troops to help Cai, and there was also a sharp weapon like a three-bow bed crossbow.
He took a deep breath and set his eyes on the city gates. Several strong men in the Jin army were slamming the city gate with a crashing log. Cai's city gate was not as strong as expected.
However, the two armies of Chu and Cai dug trenches and traps outside the main city, and they must have dug trenches and traps inside the main city. Chu and Cai were familiar with the terrain, and it would inevitably be a fierce battle at that time, but he had no doubts about the victory of the war.
Needless to say, Cai Guo's army had no fighting spirit, but the Chu army was stronger than he imagined, which made him a little impressed. However, there has been no war in the Chu State for many years, and the Chu army has no actual combat experience, and after entering the main city, it will have to fight in the streets, and the Chu army does not have that strength and experience at all.
On the city wall, the crossbowmen in the northwest corner were not affected by the catapult and shot the iron arrow in their hand, and another catapult of the Jin army was destroyed.
"By the end of the week, the catapult has been destroyed, why don't I put away the three-bow bed crossbow first? This saves me some energy. ”
It is not merciless when it deducts the weekend chasing women's coins, but it deducts the rope when it consumes its energy.
On the weekend, he asked with some hope: "Can the 50 chasing women's coins be returned?" ”
"Can't! Once the women's special coin is deducted, even I can't re-add it to you. ”
"......" weekend was supposed to take the opportunity to bargain. But it doesn't seem to work. The system is also good for him to save energy, and it may come in handy when it is critical, but the Jin army will concentrate the main force in the northwest corner, and if the three-bow bed crossbow is removed, the Jin army is likely to attack the main city, although he has a backup move, but it doesn't hurt for the Jin army to die a few more.
"No, the three-bow bed crossbow can't be withdrawn."
As soon as the three-bow bed crossbow was withdrawn, the pressure on the Jin army would suddenly be reduced a lot, and the attack would be more violent.
"But I won't have much energy left, and it will be at least a day before I recover."
"You hold on for a while."
"I can only hold on for another 20 minutes at most."
"20 minutes is fine." The lethality of the three-bow bed crossbow is good even if it can only last for a minute.
Twenty minutes later, the three-bow bed crossbow in the northwest corner disappeared.
"The three-bow bed crossbow is gone, hurry up!" Someone in the Jin army shouted.
Weekend's face was condensed, and he frowned as he looked at the Jin army in the northwest corner, which was attacking more and more bravely. If the gate is broken, it will only be in the northwest corner. "Cheng Jia, if the city gate is broken in a while, you will lead the elite soldiers of the Sky Wolf Team to fight against the Jin army. In addition, I will lead the elite soldiers of the Tigers. ”
The afterglow of the slanting sun spreads out, adding a layer of blood to the battlefield.
The war has been going on for so long, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.
Over the weekend, he ordered people to count the soldiers and horses, and the two armies of Chu and Cai combined, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded. However, he believed that the Jin army must have suffered more casualties.
The sun moved slightly westward, and the west gate was finally breached by the Jin army. Zhao Jiju had been commanding in the rear, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the West City Gate broken. The Jin army that attacked the other three city gates was ordered to assemble and concentrate on attacking the west city gate.
At the head of the city wall of Cai State, the herald urgently reported to King Zhuang. "King Zhuang, the West City Gate is broken!"
Cai Guo's soldiers were suddenly a little uneasy, and there was a commotion, and several wails were mixed in with them. The Chu army is much better than the Cai army, in the time acceleration training ground before, the Sky Tiger team and the Sky Wolf team have won and lost each other, and sometimes there will be no result if they don't fight until only the last soldier is left.
The soldiers of the Chu State glanced at the soldiers of the Cai State who were shouting with disdain, it is not certain who will kill the deer, so they messed up their own battles, it is really useless!
"Soldiers of the Chu army, it's time for you to show the majesty of my Chu country. Do you have the confidence to repel the enemy? "Shout loudly on the walls on the weekend.
Chu Jun replied loudly: "Yes! ”
There was an army of the Chu State left in the west gate, and trenches and traps were dug, and it was impossible for the Jin army to penetrate for a while, and some of the means he left in the city could also come in handy.
"Cheng Jia, I'm going to pick up the defenders of the West City Gate, and you stay here to deal with emergencies." The West City Gate was breached, and the Jin troops of the other City Gates went to attack the West City Gate instead, but they were afraid that Zhao Jiju had other plans.
However, the weekend was in the inner city, and he was with cavalry, and the speed of the march was much faster than that of the Jin army.
A large number of Jin troops poured in from the West City Gate. However, fortunately, the gates of the main city of Cai Guo were very small, and the Jin army could not pour in a large number of people at one time. The Jin troops who rushed in first filled in the traps, paving the way for their comrades in the rear.
The lanes in Cai's main city are narrow, and there are not many people squeezed into one lane. The Jin army's men and horses poured in, and they couldn't be used at all.
At this time, the weekend quickly arrived with elites, and all of them were cavalry.
On the weekend, the place where he led his men to cut soldiers was like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Jin army had no power to fight back.
Most of the Jin troops who entered the main city were killed. The Jin army succeeded in storming the main city, but their situation was even worse. It's bad enough to snipe with cavalry on the weekend. But they didn't want to, so they arranged for archers to wait for them to throw themselves into the net. In the main city, everywhere the Jin army saw on the rooftops, there were archers, who had been hiding on the roofs before, and only appeared when the Jin army entered in large numbers.
A miserable howl came from the Jin army, and some people began to turn around and run. The rest of the Jin army also saw the form clearly, and attacking the main city was to fall into a trap premeditated by Chu Cai. No matter how much they rushed, they were just sent to death, and they had long lost the courage to attack the city before.
The Jin army wanted to escape, but they didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountain on the weekend, so they chased and killed with cavalry.
The Jin army shouted in fear and fled.
Jin Guo escaped from Cai Guo's west city gate, and the smile on Zhao Jiju's face disappeared. He thought that the Jin army would be able to achieve an overwhelming victory after attacking the main city, but now it was the Jin army that fled.
"What's going on?" He commanded in the rear, and he knew nothing about what had happened after the Jin army entered the main city.
