Chapter 139: Attack on Pengcheng

"Throwing ——!"

Woo –

Boom——!

In just half a day, this kind of sound like the roar of a cow became a nightmare for Qin Jun.

No matter how much rolling wood and stones are prepared, the trench under the corner tower at the head of the city has become an ornament, the wooden curtain and the fence are completely useless, and the only thing that can vent the anger of the defenders outside the city is only bows and arrows and crossbow machines, but how can they not reach the giant beast that the Chu army is roaring......

Seeing that there were more and more cracks in the city wall, the Qin army opened the city gate three times, and each time there was no return, and it still could not stop the enemy's weapons from wielding.

The soldiers at the head of the city were as anxious as ants, because the previous means of defending against stones did not work at all, buckets of mud were poured on the city wall, and in the splashing of mud, what should be cracked still cracked, and what should collapse continued to collapse......

On one side, he was full of strength, and on the other side, he was tired of running, this offensive and defensive momentum infected every living being, and the war horse under the crotch of the Chu army began to be restless, with hooves digging the ground and snorting in all directions, and the big head fluttering back and forth to prepare to charge.

The black horse hissed, and it was all quiet again.

Then, the king of horses looked around like a lord, and spun in circles in place, reminding the person on his back.

"Hook ——!"

Several and the wall is high, the wooden tip is the beam, the nine oxen turn to pull, the wall collapses, this is the correct use of the hook car.

After smashing the city wall into a thousand holes and dying, the Chu army's sword and shield covered the bow and crossbow, and the bow and crossbow suppressed the city head and began to slowly approach.

Behind them, two siege engines with little difference in appearance were also approaching the city, a long wooden tip was erected in the center of the tall carriage frame, one end pointed to the city wall, and the other end was tied to countless ropes in the hands of the Chu army, shaped like a lever, the difference was that the one with a hook on the enemy's side was a hook cart, which specialized in destroying the city walls, and the one with a shovel was called a falcon cart, which was designed to destroy the opponent's city defenders.

As soon as these two things came out, the well-informed Qin army shouted, although the Mo family's twelve siege methods are not known to everyone, after more than a hundred years, there are still countless battle examples that have become legends and propagation, how can you not associate it when you see this appearance? !

But shouting was useless, the besieging side's defense was very tight, and there were boundless killing opportunities hidden behind the shields, but the Qin army could only return them with sharp arrows, and as a result, many screams fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no blood.

"Kill ——!"

The Qin army was in a hurry, and once again sent a head army out of the city to sabotage the offensive, and just when the Chu army opened its bow and crossbow and waited for the other party to enter the land of a stone, Xiang Ji snorted lightly and raised his chin, and a light horse wrapped in smoke and dust rolled up to meet him.

Interspersed, torn, torn apart, besieged...... The instincts that these cavalrymen had long been familiar with once again played the lamentation of the Qin army.

The scorching sun had distorted the air, but it couldn't see the smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

The scorching sun, wailing, roaring, fighting, stimulated by this, some people are angry and want to play immediately, and some people are upset and want to turn a blind eye......

Like the little fat man dressed up with bells and whistles, Duyin was not greatly affected by this war, shaking the missing ear, leisurely gnawing grass everywhere There is no other horse, and the halter saddle is not worn, it seems that its owner is not only wide-hearted, but also has no intention of going into battle.

Yu Zhou was looking at a note, which Yan Heng had just handed over, Long He showed a curious look several times, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, he knew that when it was time to tell himself, the brothers around him would definitely not hide it.

turned out to be a little disappointed, Yu Zhou didn't say anything after reading it, the expression on his face couldn't see sadness and joy, turned his head, and swallowed the curious note.

"Sub-period, do you know that you need to use a lot of lime when making paper?"

Yu Zhou rolled his eyes: "The paper is made by my family, what do you say?" ”

"I've heard that the feces of iron-eating beasts can also be used to make paper?"

“……”

Yu Zhou took a breath and said helplessly: "If you want to ask, just ask directly, what's the matter with me being disgusting?" Are you sure you can still read the note you spit out? ”

Long He smiled flatteringly and said, "Yan Heng, what news did they send back?" ”

"It's all trivial, but there is one thing you may be interested in, yesterday there was suddenly an extra cavalry in Xiayi, it seems to be from Chenliu."

"Chen Liu? Cavalry? Chen Sheng Wu Guang's army? ”

"Hmm."

"Most of the Qin troops are in the west and north, what are they going to do when they suddenly increase their troops? Do you want to do it to us? ”

Yu Zhou drooped his eyelids: "This kind of thing, who can say for sure, but if you say it, the two of us can't hide from it." ”

The smile on Long Ji's face rippled suddenly, for some reason, this little fat man was a little less innocent than before, and a little more obscene: "What are you afraid of, I can't wait for a long time, and the ones sent to the door will not be eaten in vain." ”

"Boom ——!"

While the two of them were talking, the falcon cart became powerful, and the huge shovel head went directly to the city wall, swaying like a hyena biting its prey one by one, pushing left and right, the female wall was bulldozed, not to mention, a bunch of messy things scattered and fell down the city, what forks, pots, weapons, shields, living people, and even a ballista......

After the shovel was not finished, the falcon took two steps back and exerted its power again, and the huge shovel head was slammed into the city wall, and they fell together, and the wall suddenly looked like a big cake that had been gnawed by a dog, and a piece was missing.

The Qin army did not want to sit still, but they could not make contributions when they went out of the city several times, so they could only suppress the enemy with bows and crossbows and slow down the pace of the opponent's attack.

Sharp arrows flew by, and the naked riders fell one after another, but more people were replaced.

Without the cover of the female wall, the archers at the head of the city only had time to release an arrow, and the enemy returned the color.

This kind of shooting lasted for a long time, and it was always the Qin army that suffered, even if many people died, this only means of fighting back could only last, there was no way, originally the falcon car was not so powerful, but the city wall was ravaged by stone throwing, and in many places grabbed a handful of clay, which was soft and terrible.

When the Qin army's arrows gradually thinned out, another weapon followed, and when the solid hook head hung on the city wall, all the Qin army seemed to be crazy, they knew what this thing was for, and they knew what the consequences would be after the city wall collapsed.

The black-clothed figures rushed towards the wooden tops, they chopped, they chopped, they burned, and tried every means to sabotage the attack, but unfortunately the arrows were not spared, and after a dark cloud, the Qin army paid a heavy price, and the Chu army also had a few hook carts that could no longer be used, and they were slowly defeated.

Xiang Ji was already impatient to wait.

With a wave of his hand, the rest of the hook cart immediately let out a wooden moan, creaking, crunching...... After holding the city wall steadily, the people who pulled the hook cart and the livestock worked together, and the people roared and the horses and cattle screamed, and a decisive battle began......

The Chu army took the initiative, how to fight, where to fight, and how long to fight were all up to them, and the battle situation entered the white heat from the beginning, and the soil at the head of the city shoveled by the falcon cart was mixed with a lot of dark red.

"I envy those guys who take a city without firing a single shot."

Long He covered the silk coat with a layer of armor, which looked even more weird, and when he heard Yu Zhou's sigh, he didn't think so: "Such people are all mouthful, what is there to envy?" ”

Yu Zhou did not refute words such as "go to the army to fight and conspire, and then fight to fight", because under the command of Xiang Ji, the idea of breaking and winning is popular, which is a difference in concept, just like Fan Zeng, the soldier Yin and Yang, taught a soldier situation apprentice, and the two quarreled every day.

"Boom—"

The thought was interrupted again, and the city wall in the distance was already shrouded in smoke and dust, judging from the cheers sent back by the Chu army, the hook car should have made a meritorious service.

Thinking of the contents of the note, when this victory was imminent, Yu Zhou not only did not relax, but became more vigilant.

When the weather is hot, it is difficult to disperse the dust, and when the city wall is faintly reappeared, it is no longer gnawed by dogs, but half of the whole cake is missing, and the fallen half has become the best stepping stone.

This is also right, the foundation of the city wall is about more than a foot thick, how can it be easily shaken no matter how much it is smashed?

But that's enough for now......

Xiang Jizhong's pupils shrank, raised his halberd and let out a roar, and the black horse let go of his four hooves and galloped, one man and one horse, they have become the best military order.

Jiuyuan cavalry, the light cavalry under the command of the fat man, all the cavalry of the Chu army obeyed the order, the galloping of thousands of horses was immense, the smoke and dust on the top of the Peng city wall had not yet dispersed, and a thicker sandstorm rolled in.

Seeing this situation, the Qin army that gritted their teeth and insisted knew that it was over, but they still had a doubt, that is, why did the Chu army use cavalry to attack the city, and how did the war horses cross the half-fallen city wall and come in to wreak havoc.

And then......

The cavalry who rushed to the front dropped a sack and transferred the horse's head, and the Chu cavalry that followed closely behind made the same move, one, two, innumerable, one layer, two layers......

Looking at the higher and higher slopes, Qin Jun was desperate.

In a round of charge, not a single knight of the Chu army touched the city wall, nor did any Qin casualties, but it was even more difficult to deal with.

After a light reprimand, the cavalry, led by Dark Cloud Treading Snow, ran again, and this time, it was no longer a sack in their hands, but a sharp spear......

Yu Zhou took another note, and this time, after reading it, he handed it to Long He, and his voice was extremely relaxed: "It seems that the two of us really can't be idle." ”

Long He was a little unaccustomed to the very small font, and after staring at it with wide eyes for a while, he wondered: "Where did you see that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were going to come to sneak attack?" ”

"They didn't feed the horses last night."

"What's going on?"

Yu Zhou slapped his head: "Fatty, you are still a cavalry captain, don't you know if Ma Wuye grass is not fat?"

If you don't feed the horses at night, is there any other possibility than to have action to ride the horse?! ”

Long He frowned and thought for a while: "What if their group of dirt buns don't understand horses at all, and they don't know that they feel sorry for the war horses, so they don't feed them?" ”

"You're right, it's possible, but I believe that among hundreds of thousands of people, there will definitely not be a single person who understands horses, so ah, let's be careful."

As soon as the words fell, this time there was no need for a note, two commanders came on horseback, and the news they brought back was even more accurate - fifty miles west of the city, a large number of Qin cavalry was suddenly found, and the number was unknown.

After listening to this, the little fat man shouted while tying his waist: "When am I stupid? The west of Pengcheng is full of rebels, how did the Qin people come to support! Where's my spear......"

"Hahaha, it's not good to say that the rebels are fighting each other, so you have to show people a fig leaf!"

"A fig leaf? This time I'm going to stay with someone! ”

The news that Yu Zhou was able to receive, Zhang Liang Fan Zeng also knew, and now that the city was about to be broken, he could not inform Xiang Ji, so the two of them took it upon themselves to take matters into their own hands, and ordered them to change their formations to prepare for the enemy attack.

Suddenly there was a change in the middle of the battle, not only the Chu cavalry who was charging was affected, but the Qin army, whose morale had plummeted, suddenly had a backbone, they didn't know what was happening outside, but the formation of the Chu army suddenly changed, the scouts were running around, and the details of the small details could always make the old oilman on the battlefield smell something.

"The Chu army has changed formations, there must be reinforcements from Great Qin! Hold them back, stop them and live! ”

Such a voice came far away, and I don't know what the Qin people said to the soldiers, as if the Chu army would kill them all without asking wherever they went.

Long He was very unhappy when he heard it: "Hmph, fools and fools, how dare you treat me like this!" ”

Yu Zhou: "......"

"Did you say it was a child? What are you thinking? ”

"I'm wondering, which of the two cities is stronger and wider than Pengcheng and Xiapi, and there are more people and soldiers in the city?"

"Do you still need to ask, of course Pengcheng is more extensive and more populous, Xiapi was only a fief of Zou Ji before, and Pengcheng has been the capital since the Yellow Emperor!"

Yu Zhou nodded: "In terms of the size of the land, the number of people, and the long history, Pengcheng has the advantage, why is the fighting spirit of the defenders not as resolute as the Qin army we met in Xiapi?!" ”

Long He was stunned for a moment, and replied: "That's right, I just found out when you said this, the Qin army in Pengcheng seems to be less kind of than those people in Xiapi, all of them are fighting to the death, if we meet these people last time, how can we suffer heavy casualties." ”

"That's why I'm confused."

"You turned around and saved so many lives in Xiapi, didn't a Qin soldier say it?"

"What they say is useless, and the people who are really involved are either dead or have escaped......"

"Knock-knock-"

The drum beat changed, although it was still an attack, but it was more hurried with a bit of vigilance, and at the moment when Xiang Ji and Wu Qi roared and jumped onto the city, a black line suddenly appeared on the marginal line where heaven and earth intersected to the west of Pengcheng.

The battle is in full swing, and the belly and back are subject to the enemy.
