CHAPTER 290 Throwing Soil and Sealing the Door
All the generals rushed to ask what the letter was about. Vertex updates are the fastest
Zhang Ji understated: "It's nothing, Ma Chao'er is scolding me." β
Another sergeant came in and reported: "The enemy is outside the east gate, and a big guy has been pushed, as if it was some kind of siege machine." β
Oh, what's that? Zhang Ji hurriedly summoned all the officials and climbed to the city tower to observe.
Outside the city, dozens of Shu soldiers, pushing a freshly assembled machine, stopped seventy yards away from the city gate.
And next to this machine, there were already many sergeants carrying the earth, divided into several places, and began to pile up mountains of earth.
Dutu Mountain assisted the sergeant to attack the city, Zhang had heard a lot and seen it, but he had never seen the thing with a big log with an old elder, so he quickly asked the people around him: "What is that?" β
Most of them have never seen it, only two older military attachΓ©s frowned and said: "This thing seems to be somewhat similar to the kind of catapult that Emperor Wu used when he fought Yuan Shao in Guandu. Vertex updates the fastest"
Yes? Catapults? Zhang Ji and they have all heard of it, and they know that that kind of thing can be fought high and far, and the power is still quite amazing, but it seems that Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, has never used it since then, and he didn't expect the enemy to pick it up and use it.
"Ah, it looks like a catapult! However, in those days, it required more than 200 sergeants to pull the rope in unison, and at the same time run backwards, quickly pull up the big pole, and then they could throw the stone out. Their car seems to have just a basket hanging in front of it, and I don't know how it was thrown. "A military general who participated in the Battle of Guandu remembered that year.
Outside the city, Ge Liang saw a large number of officials rushing to the city, pursed his lips and smiled, asked the sergeant to pick up the iron horn, and shouted at the city: "Listen, people in the city, there are three roads in front of you now!" The first is to immediately open the city and surrender, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, serve the Han court, and jointly exterminate the usurper traitor Cao Pi, and make meritorious contributions in order to become rich and noble! β
Isn't this what Ma Chao said in the letter just now? Zhang Ji couldn't hide it, and wanted to disturb the enemy's shouting, so he immediately shouted loudly to the city: "Wei Shou Han Chan, the world is in the heart, you are traitors, lay down your arms and surrender as soon as possible!" β
Ge Liang did not argue with him, and let the sergeant continue to shout: "Second, within two days, immediately abandon the city from the west gate or the north gate and flee for your life, and go back to your own house, and we will not pursue it." The third fastest update of the vertex, that is, according to the stubborn resistance of the city, it will be shattered and there will be no place to die! β
As soon as the officials in the city heard that they were clearly saying that they really only wanted to occupy the city and not to be injured, they immediately started talking again.
"What are you talking about? Don't be fooled by the enemy's rhetoric and mess with your own army! Zhang Ji hurriedly stopped, "You are all court officials, and now is the time for you to be loyal to the court and serve the country with your body!" β
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, although they didn't think much of Zhang Ji's impassionedness, no one was willing to come forward and say anything about abandoning the city and surrendering for the time being, and finally said: "We are saying that Jiang Wei is really smart when he joins the army, and he has long seen the enemy's intentions at a glance." Apex update fastest He is right, the enemy is not enough troops, bluffing, bluffing. β
Ge Liang then asked the sergeant to shout: "Now we will attack the city immediately, and you will have two days to make a decision, after two days, we will block the north gate, if you do not wake up soon, in two days, you will be besieged on all sides, and then you will regret it." Hey, don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, the opportunity is rare, don't miss it, you missed Qingqing's life! β
As soon as they heard that the other party was going to attack the city immediately, everyone immediately became nervous, and hurriedly leaned against the city wall, hiding behind the battlements, and only showed their eyes to observe the enemy's situation.
The sergeants also hurriedly armed themselves with guns and arrows, and they were engrossed.
Zhang Ji still wanted to keep the morale of his soldiers, stood on the city tower, pointed at Ge Liang below and scolded.
Standing on a high place, Ge Liang saw that the sergeant had already loaded many large and small stones into the heavy basket in front of the trebuchet, and that the small basket behind the long pole was also full of dirt, and everything else was ready, so he waved the flag in his hand and ordered: "Ready-release!" β
The machine was opened, and under the gravity of the heavy basket in front, the long rod was quickly pressed up, and under the huge throwing force, the soil in the small basket behind was "Wow!" "The ground was thrown high, and he went straight to the city tower. Vertex updates are the fastest
Everyone in the city saw a large black shadow flying over, and quickly retracted their heads.
The large black shadow flew high, crackled for a while, and all stuck to the city gate.
Everyone was glad that no one had been hit, and then they covered their noses one by one, their faces full of disgust.
"Wow, it stinks!"
"What is this, why does it stink so much?"
Some people forcibly stepped forward to check, and it turned out that what had been thrown up was a large mud mass mixed with a lot of filth and silt at the bottom of the river, and after being thrown onto the castle tower, it splashed in all directions, and the stench quickly dispersed throughout the castle tower.
The best farmyard manure is just used in the wrong place.
These animals are so disgusting! Zhang Ji still wanted to scold, but he felt that the smell was unbearable, so he really didn't dare to suck anymore, so he only asked the sergeant to come and clean it up quickly.
All the generals are stunned, could it be that thing is the enemy's farming machine?
Even the Shu army itself under the city couldn't stand it, and they all fought to cover their noses.
Fortunately, the stink bomb was wrapped before it was thrown out, and now it has landed on the enemy building, and the stench quickly dissipated, and the rest is all the enemy's business.
Ge Liang spat at Zhang Ji in the city: "I knew that you would have someone to be a hero, I will let you pretend!" β
Then he instructed the sergeants who fired the trebuchets: "It's too high, hurry up and take out some of the things in the heavy basket in front of you." β
In the throwing basket, this time it was full of loess bags, and with Ge Liang's order, another basket of mud flew out.
The people in the city hurriedly and habitually shrank their heads.
The mud ball did not hit the city tower at all, but crackled and smashed all on the city gate.
"Well played!" Ge Liang couldn't help but praise, but he didn't expect that this first hit the target.
"Fight again!" He continued to shout happily.
The people in the city wondered why the enemy's trebuchets were getting lower and lower. One by one, they couldn't help but stick out their heads to visit.
"Not good! The enemy is smashing the door, they want to smash the door and attack the city! "Someone saw the drop point, and it seemed to fall on the gate every time.
Someone objected: "No, it doesn't seem to be loud enough." See! What fell outside was all mud, how could this possibly smash the city gates? What exactly do they want to do? β
Zhang Ji understood: "It seems that the enemy wants to seal the city gate, so that we can't open the city gate and rush out!" β
Jiang Wei was not concerned about this, and pointed to the dirt mountain that the enemy was busy piling up: "If they seal the city gate, we will not be able to launch a quick attack on their trebuchet, but after they accumulate the earth mountain, they can carry the trebuchet to a higher place, so that they can fight farther." Oh my! They piled up more than a dozen mountains of dirt, could it be that they actually brought a dozen trebuchets? (To be continued.) )
