Chapter 201: The battle is fierce

The rain of arrows continued to fall, and the soldiers of the Jin army continued to fall and die, but the morale of the Jin army was not affected in the slightest, and the corpses on the ground just rushed forward, as if they only saw the city wall of Cai State. The trenches and traps that had been dug earlier were refilled with the corpses of the Jin army.

While the Jin army continued to die, the archers of the Jin army were also ready and well protected by shieldmen. The archers of the Jin army shot arrows towards the city wall, and many of the archers of the Chu State were killed by arrows.

"The Jin Kingdom is indeed the largest country in the Central Plains, and the soldiers are all good men who are one in a hundred." Although it was an opponent, I still couldn't help but praise a few words over the weekend.

However, many of the soldiers of the Chu State died, and the weekend's gaze quickly turned cold.

"Crossbowmen ready!" His voice rang in the ears of the two crossbowmen. "Shoot the arrows!"

The iron arrows made a scalp-tingling sound in the shouting and slaughter, and shot out quickly. Iron arrows were first shot at the archers. Although the archer has the protection of the shield bearer, the power of the iron arrow is much stronger than that of the wooden arrow, and the shield cannot stop the iron arrow at all. Iron arrows shot out, piercing the shield in an instant.

Zhao Jiju saw that a three-bed bow crossbow also appeared in the northwest corner, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking. Let both the archers and shieldmen retreat. In the face of strong crossbows, crowd tactics are the best policy. Shieldmen and archers were much more precious than ordinary soldiers, and even if he was willing to sacrifice well-trained shieldmen and archers, it would be useless for those shields to hit the iron arrows a few more times. Zhao Jiju could only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

On weekends, the crossbowmen were turned to target the densely populated areas of the Jin army. Iron arrows are shot out, often like a string of sugar gourds, killing five or six Jin troops at a time, and dying. Wherever the iron arrow went, more than a dozen Jin soldiers were immediately killed.

With the help of bows and crossbows, the speed of the Jin army's attack was slightly slower. However, some of the soldiers who rushed to kill died in one wave, and another wave of soldiers soon rushed up, so that the Jin army gradually advanced, slowly approaching the city wall.

After a pillar of incense, after a terrible battle, the vanguard of the Jin army put a long ladder on the wall of Cai State.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city had already changed a batch. The dozens of archers from before sat on the side to rest temporarily. The rolling stones came up in batches, and greeted the Jin army who climbed up the long ladder.

Some of the soldiers were thrown down by stones halfway up the ladder, and they were unrecognizable. Some climbed to the top of the wall and were pushed down after fighting with Cai Jun.

In the distance, catapults continued to advance under the impetus of the Jin army.

"Hold on! Resist me! King Cai roared hysterically.

Helpless on the weekend, he really didn't want to use that trick on King Cai, but he was also afraid that King Cai would affect his morale here. gave Cheng Jia a look. Cheng Jia comprehended. "King Cai, King Zhuang has something to say to you."

"Good, good!" King Cai's voice froze.

The weekend saw him with bloodshot eyes.

As if he was about to hold on to the last straw, King Cai immediately walked to the weekend. "King Zhuang, do you have any other tricks?" He stared at the weekend as if a hungry wolf were staring at its prey.

The weekend has already taken away all the soldiers of the surrounding Cai State, and at this time only the soldiers of the Chu State are left.

Cheng Jia silently walked behind King Cai and struck a knife on the back of King Cai's neck.

King Cai's eyes rolled and he fainted.

Cheng Jia hugged King Cai and said loudly: "Someone!" King Cai worked hard day and night, fainted from overwork, quickly carry him down to rest! ”

Two of Cai's internal guards rushed over and carried King Cai away.

Weekend shook his head, no way, if you let King Cai continue to stay here, let alone boost morale, don't help affect Cai Jun's morale, thank God. And he can also save some face for King Cai in front of the soldiers of Cai State by doing so.

We'll see the battle again on the weekend. In a matter of moments, the Jin army already had six long ladders on the city wall. The Jin army was already fearless, but at this time, seeing the city wall in sight, the Jin army was more like a chicken blood and rushed to kill frantically.

Another part of the Jin army of more than a dozen people worked together to carry a one-person hug thick wood and hit the city wall. The battle conditions of the other three walls were similar.

When the vanguard of the Jin army rushed to kill, the Jin army pushed the trebuchet used for siege and slowly advanced under the opening of the vanguard.

On the weekend, he stood at the head of the city, commanding two crossbowmen. Good steel is used on the blade, and the three-bow bed crossbow is his killer weapon. "Crossbowmen prepare! Aim for the junction of the catapult! "Once the catapult arrives, throw a boulder with the lethality of the catapult and hit someone

The soldier in charge of the three-bow bed crossbow was the archer he picked out from the 30,000 soldiers of the Chu State. Gritted their teeth on the weekend, and it was up to them to win this battle. At this point, even he felt nervous. It's just that he still looks calm.

Catapult and triple bow crossbow, the former is better because of its strong lethality and is not easy to damage, and if it is not shot at the connection, even the iron arrows shot by the three-bow bed crossbow can only be nailed to the catapult, which cannot cause damage to it, and the disadvantage is that the accuracy is not very good. The latter has a long range, and as long as it can be aimed, it can be destroyed before the catapult arrives at the level, turning it into a pile of waste wood.

Both crossbowmen were ready and aimed at the catapult.

The three-bow bed crossbow suddenly stopped firing, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Jiju immediately understood the intention of coming over the weekend, and quickly changed his attack strategy.

The Jin army was constantly advancing, and Zhao Jiju sent shield bearers and archers to step forward. Shieldmen, archers, and catapults in a straight line. The shieldmen protected the archers, and the archers aimed at the crossbowmen, joining forces to cover the advance of the catapults.

"The commander of the Jin army this time is a rare talent." Looking at the echelon of the Jin army on the weekend, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Crossbowmen speed up!" Before the catapult could advance, the shieldbearers had to be killed.

"Yes!"

The archers of the Jin army kept shooting arrows in the direction of the crossbowmen. "Dingding~" Most of the arrows were shot at the shield.

But there were still soldiers who were responsible for protecting the crossbowmen who were wounded and arrowed. "Ahh

His comrades dragged him aside.

At the same time, the iron arrow shot out, inserting the shield, and the shield of the Jin army broke three at once, and one of the unlucky shield bearers was pierced through the head and fell straight down.

The two sides come and go, and they hurt each other. Keeping an eye on the battle over the weekend, the shieldmen were finally cleared by the crossbowmen. However, the soldiers and substitutes on the Chu army's side who were responsible for protecting the crossbowmen suffered casualties of varying degrees.

The Jin army's catapults advanced a lot during the confrontation, and the three-bow bed crossbow in the corner of the wall also entered its range.
