Chapter 40: No One Sleeps Tonight

There is a group of people who are terrible, they take it for granted that everything is right in the name of righteousness, such as shouting to resist this guy who resists that guy who ends up with his fist on his compatriots, and this strange way of thinking develops to the extreme, and it will become an even more terrible religion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There is also a kind of people who are very hateful, they always speculate about everyone and things around them with the greatest malice, and it is a good thing to have the courage to doubt, but they are afraid that this habit will be distorted after a long time, and their vision will gradually become only magnifying the flaws and ignoring the good.

To say that the purpose of a funeral is very simple, Yu Zhou himself doesn't believe it, but it is not as dirty as Yan Heng said, the little man has a deep hatred of blood and has come into contact with the darkness under the table, and it is very likely that he will accidentally grow crooked, which makes him very worried, and secretly notes that he must come to "psychological counseling" after the war, and then pay attention to the changes in the battle situation.

Compared with the previous menacing, the prestige of the Qin army has not diminished at all, but the intensity of the attack is not so resolute.

It was not easy to deal with the general decision of a mortal battle, because the Qin army suffered fewer casualties, and they could rely on their numerical advantage to continue to attack, although there were some civilians to help, the defenders were still too busy to touch the ground, and as time went on, their physical strength was lost, and their movements became more and more sluggish.

The shouts of killing continued, and the people in the city felt that their hearts were shrouded in dark clouds, and they were used to living a brisk life, who wanted to endure hard labor and heavy punishment again? Nobody wants to.

Since you don't want to turn back and can't turn back, you can only pray that the Qin army will fade away as soon as possible, and after worshipping the ghosts and water gods of all walks of life, it is not a matter of being idle, and you can't farm like that, and you can also be busy with others, moving wood and carrying stones, sewing cloth robes, and collecting feather arrows......

Xiao He is very busy, the supply of food and grass for the entire city is all counting on him, and it is also up to him to pacify the people and treat the wounded, and the siege of the city without reinforcements is bound to last, and these must be handled carefully.

Long Ji felt that a big battle would definitely make him lose weight, and the snacks in his pocket were gone, some of them became rice, and some were distributed to the wounded sergeant to relieve his boredom.

In any case, the first thing that the war brought was pain, and seeing the wounded soldiers who couldn't sleep all night gritted their teeth, he felt unbearable.

This is still the Qin army's offensive in the south of the city is not dense, so what about the east of the city? The dragon didn't dare to think about it.

"What are you thinking?"

Looking back, the little fat man seems to have grown up a lot overnight, and he is no longer greedy and playful, and the clouds of sorrow linger in his eyebrows.

"Why are you here, there are no female dependents on the city wall......"

"Don't be a fool who doesn't know anything, if you really take a sword, I can go into battle and kill the enemy."

Long Ji said while bunching his armor: "Go back, this is not the place where you stay, you have never seen such pain, it is easier said than done." ”

Zhao Shan stepped forward, bent down to help him tie his shin armor, and said softly: "At this time, the Qin army's offensive is not fierce, and you can talk a little more, if you feel uncomfortable, you might as well ......"

"All the brothers are fighting for their lives, how can I be lazy, it's time to change Situ Yi!"

"Have you noticed ......"

"What?"

"The Qin people seem to have been targeting Jing Xiao!"

The dragon froze: "It seems to be true!" Whenever Jing Xiao stood at the head of the city, the Qin people's offensive would always be a little fierce, why was this? ”

Zhao Shan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he fought too hard and made the Qin people feel that there was an opportunity?" ”

"That's right...... You go tell Ziqi and see what he thinks! ”

"I didn't go, that man was strange, I was afraid to see him......"

Long Ji sneered: "That guy has some unusual skills, and he won't be scared like this, right?" Don't you still have a few generals, let them report the news. ”

Zhao Shan lowered his head: "They have other arrangements." ”

"Okay, I'll ask someone to report the news, you stay here honestly and don't run around."

"Be careful......"

Long He opened the door and found that six big men were standing straight outside, and when they saw him come out, they hugged their fists, and they were actually going to advance and retreat together.

With a sore chest, Long turned around, opened the door again, closed the door, hugged the people around him fiercely, and said in her ear: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Stride away.

……

……

Jing Xiao was targeted?

Yu Zhou chewed on the news repeatedly, trying to find some key from it and seek a good way to break the enemy, but unfortunately after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure out why.

"Is it particularly obvious?"

"I didn't pay attention to it before, but then I tried it, as long as it was Captain Jing guarding the city, the Qin army's crossbow arrows would be thirty percent more, and the ant soldiers could be compared to the main formation in the east of the city!"

"Okay, I see, let's go down."

After the messenger left, Yan Heng appeared silently: "Is it related to what happened to Jing Xiao before?" I've heard that he was imprisoned in the county guard's secret cell......"

"It's useless to guess at this time, it's better to think of a way to solve the siege."

"Why don't I organize someone to assassinate Wang Li?"

"The cost is too high, and the possibility of success is too small...... In this way, you go and prepare a few straw men, and stay until the night to put on your clothes and hang them outside the wall, the tired enemy tactics can't only be next to us, you have to find some fun for the Qin army, and talk to Ziniu and Zhongli, and several city walls will take turn! ”

Yan Heng's eyes lit up: "Good idea!" ”

"Can the Qin army's grain and grass battalion be detected?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's extremely difficult, I'll give it a try. ”

"Boom, boom!"

The two of them were talking, only to feel a shock under their feet, the wall began to fall dusty dirt, out of the city tower to see, only to see a few moat bridges sticking out of the elder, has set up this side of the riverbank.

"City gates! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

There is a Ba Ren Tun in the Qin army, they were the ones who wanted to snatch the city gate last time, since seeing the ability of those guys to climb up and down as if they were walking on the ground, Yu Zhou had already ordered someone to destroy the drawbridge, and he held it for several days, and he didn't think that the Qin army would find another way to get this kind of movable moat bridge out.

No matter how good the tools are, they are also called by people, on the battlefield, especially in siege warfare, the price of advancing is blood, a rain of arrows shoots down, and the Qin people fall and come and fall, and cover the difficult approach with a shield.

The ballista roared wildly, tearing the formation to reveal the soft flesh, and the Qin army under the city was unwilling to fight back lonely, but suffered a lot due to the terrain problem, the drum beat changed, and several wooden carts with a roof-like tent slowly and resolutely stepped on the moat bridge.

"Prepare water!"

As soon as this thing appeared, it meant a very scoundrel tactic, the wooden roof was covered with cowhide, so that it was not afraid of fire and could prevent bows and arrows, and even falling rocks could not be helpless, it looked like a car, but it had no bottom, and it was easy for the sergeant to dig underneath to dig the earth, and it was generally used outside the city gate, and a huge pit could be dug below and the door could be set on fire, and then it was forced to collapse with the support of the column.

Sure enough, several falling rocks in a row were useless, and there was already a crackling sound of fire at the city gate, and the sergeant in the gate quickly filled the water, and finally the smoke was more and the fire was a little lesser.

"Call me Fan Xu! Let him bring Mr. Ziniu's baby pimple!! ”

Fan Hao arrived soon, since the first battle in the north of the city, he and Lu Ziniu were terrible, and the appearance of the Qin people's right army feints was very fake, which made people not depressed.

"Hahaha, sub-period, aren't you not asking for help? What are you looking for! ”

"Less nonsense, most of the siege engines recorded in the classics of Lu Gong Peru and the Mo family have appeared, shouldn't you question it properly?"

Fan Hao scratched his face: "Then I can't find it, Mr. Ziniu is a child of the Mo family." ”

"If he comes, who will rest assured that you are left in charge of the north of the city?"

“…… This is also true, let's say, what do you want Lao Fan to do! ”

"Rack up the hook cart, I'm going to see if this thing is that good!"

The hook car is a kind of siege device, which has the difference between the three-clawed hitchhiker and the two-clawed double hook car, the role is to destroy the earth-built city wall, this kind of thing that began in the Mojia classics is amazingly powerful, there has been a description of "the hook car is swaying, the nine oxen are turning, the thunder is excited, and the oars are collapsed", the wall is not a problem, and it is easier to deal with a bunch of wooden shelves.

The name says the hook, but the shape of this thing is a little strange, not to mention the part of the car, the rest of the part is very much like two huge nail rakes, usually open to see nothing, once it falls into the claw, the winch rotates and pulls back, the front claw will only grasp more and more tightly, and it is really like playing with a city tower.

The attacking weapon was changed to a defensive weapon, and it took a lot of effort to go back and forth, and finally it was time to play a role, and the probe claw fell lower and lower as the rope was relaxed, and the Qin army on the bridge gradually became agitated.

"Don't look stupid, this thing can't kill, the archer finds the right time to kill the enemy quickly!"

"Click......"

In the end, the outer shed of the Yiyi was firmly bitten by it, and many Qin people wanted to come forward to rescue Paoze, but the width of the trench bridge did not allow it.

"Shoot arrows, shoot ropes, burn rockets!"

There was a crunch of winches from the tower, and the same groans came from the gates, and the siege cart was like a caught ladybug, pitifully stretching its legs and struggling.

A sharp arrow passed through, which had no effect on the arm-thick rope, and the defender archers hurriedly seized the opportunity to counterattack and make a contribution, and the Qin army that was too close to the city was harvested again.

"Ah...... Hmmm......"

The giant claws soared into the air again, revealing several Qin people whose shells had been torn away, and what hung high above their heads overwhelmed them.

"What is this? Huh, ...... this? ”

The voice just now is very familiar and unfamiliar, why did it disappear? The face was a little warm, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it, salty and fishy......

Looking up, the wooden cart that had been guarding them had not changed much, but there was a dark red liquid dripping down, and as soon as they reacted, they felt a pain in their throats, and the dark tide swallowed their consciousness like a dark tide.

……

……

Wang Li's face was very ugly, because he finally remembered what the things in the city were.

It's really not good news, it means that the traitor has the Mo family secretly helping.

He didn't want to always struggle against one side of the city wall, especially in the east of the city, which was not necessarily much easier to fight, and even the damage to the soldiers was faintly higher than the other three, as for why he didn't stop and not change direction, it was purely because he was troubled by the general's immature idea at the beginning - this side is like this, maybe he can take it with more effort, and wouldn't the rotation offensive at this time be wasted?

When a basin of cold water on the head could finally calm his head, and the Feiyun Trench Bridge was overturned, Wang Li watched coldly, personally recalled the defeated soldiers, and gave the order to rest and recuperate in a flat tone.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid to spend a small amount of money, you are afraid to calculate the general account, and it was at this time that he found that his subordinates were less than 20%, and half of the Chinese army suffered heavy losses with injuries.

Whoever kills a third of the soldiers and does not pull out the city will also be attacked. Lying in the military tent, listening to the mourning all over the place, Wang Li's mind was full of this sentence, and the spirit of Xianyang just came out of Xianyang was no longer half a minute.

He couldn't sleep with his eyes closed, so he sat down in front of the desk and opened two rolls of bamboo slips, one of which was a family heirloom and chewed carefully, and the other was written down with a hard ......

I don't know how long it took, but drowsiness finally crept up on my eyelids, little by little my head pillowed on my arms and couldn't lift it anymore, and the sound of snoring came out of the tent.

"Knock-knock-knock——!"

For soldiers, war drums are more refreshing than cold water, Wang Li stood up with a stirring spirit, reflexively held the long sword, and asked before his eyes were fully opened: "Who is beating the drum?" But the thieves came to attack ......"

"General, there are hundreds of hidden people in the thief city who want to sneak out, and we have discovered it!"

"Hundred?"

"Yes!"

I came to the side of the formation, and sure enough, I saw a black figure coming down the wall, and his skills were very athletic.

"Rapid fire!"

"Whoa!"

It was a little strange that the crossbow arrows were fired, and the thieves ended the temptation with a few screams, dragging the body of the arrow back to the city.

That's gone? Giving more than 100 lives in vain, it doesn't look like it was done by a small number of soldiers, aren't they quite calculating, so sleepy that their eyes are dry and their heads are dizzy, Wang Li didn't think much about it, and gave an order out of caution: "Arrange more guards, always pay attention to the movements of the thief army!" ”

From the initial complacency, to the current repeated setbacks, it no longer matters whether he concentrates on tension or not, and this relaxation makes him look extremely tired.

It's rare that there hasn't been rain lately, and the city gate can be burned and thwarted...... Uh, I don't want to think about it, it's rare that it hasn't rained, the robe has been much softer, and it's very comfortable to cover the body, how good would it be if I lived in the city at the moment......

Wang Li turned over, his hands hanging to the ground unconscious, and the mist in the chaos was just about to condense into a dream, and was forcibly dispersed by a rapid drum sound.

With a sword in his hand, he stepped out of the camp and saw a circle of reddened eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" What are the movements of the thieves! ”

"Back to the general, it's another hundred people climbing the city wall!"

"Another hundred? If you have this situation in the future, you need to shoot it immediately, no need to say more! ”

"General...... The Central Protector checked it this time, and the thieves on the wall seemed to be all straw men......"

"Straw man? Where is the middle protector! ”

"The subordinates are here."

"What's going on?"

"General Hui, the last general thought it was strange before, this time he deliberately ordered people to get closer, only to find that those people couldn't move at all, all the ropes were hanging in the air, and the arrows didn't bleed......"

Wang Li waved his hand: "I know...... It seems that this is a trick of the anti-thief, so let's do it, in the same situation, shoot directly without drumming! Let the soldiers sleep well. ”

"General, the gathering of troops in the middle of the night all depends on the drum horn, if you don't beat the drum, what if the thieves really go out?"

Wang Li felt that his forehead was beating, and his back molars were also a little painful, so he took a deep look at the city shrouded in darkness, and then ordered: "Then take each battalion as the number and take turns to fight, I don't expect the thieves to dare to come out!" ”

"Whoa!"

East, west, north and south, the drum horn rang in a circle all night, and there was no sleep......
