In the morning, the Chu army was outside Loucang City, lined up in battle formation. /

However, the Chu army in the front did not hold knives, guns and axes in their hands, but sacks of burlap filled with mud and sand. As the rousing drums sounded, the shouts of Zhentianjie came from the camp of the Chu army. Columns and columns of soldiers, under the cover of wooden oars, rushed towards the building. They threw their sacks into the ditch, and then quickly retreated, followed by the soldiers, and continued to fill the ditch.

Liu+ stood at the head of the city, holding a pergola in his hand and looking out.

"It seems that Chen Ying has been prepared for a long time!"

Li Cheng smiled calmly, "The prince has been recruited several times, but although this Chen Ying has not responded, he has long had bad intentions in his heart. If you have bad intentions, how can you not pay attention to the condition of the warehouse? If you want to attack the warehouse, you must first fill in the ditches that are dense here. Otherwise, their rushing ladders would not be able to be used with large siege equipment. No wonder, he wants to stay in Xu County for a day. ”

"Prince, can we try to attack once?"

Tu Tu watched the Chu army continue to fill in the ditches and gradually approach the building, and couldn't help asking, "Is it possible to watch them let go and do something?" ”

Liu+, did not answer.

"Tu Tu, did you see that mound?"

Li Chengyi pointed to a hill on the side of the building, "Chen Ying is not a reckless person, since he is attacking, he must be prepared." I am sure that there must be an ambush of the elite cavalry of the Chu army behind that mound, and as long as we dare to attack and block it, the Chu army will definitely make a sneak attack. ”

Tu Tu followed Li Cheng's finger in the direction of the ground. Took a look.

The mound. It's called a red clay depression. It is located in the > of the river bay. The water is gentle there. The river bend has flat flats. It can ambush more than 10,000 people. without revealing the slightest trace. At this time. The red clay is quiet. It seems to be very calm. But the calmer it is. The more ghosts there are. If the building warehouse attacks. The Chu army sneaked up on the ground from the red clay depression. It will certainly pose a huge threat to the warehouse. Don't be on guard.

Liu + suddenly said, "It seems." Xiang Jixue is smart! ”

He turned. He shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order." There is no command from me. No one is allowed to attack without permission. Set up the embroidered spear properly. Wait for my order. ”

Embroidered spears. It was when he was in the warehouse when he was doing asceticism. According to the conditions of the building. And designed out of a weapon.

The material is made of Moso bamboo, which is abundant in Sihong. It is about the same thickness as a baby's arm. Hollow out the wool embroidery. Pay attention to a specially made liquid. Through the head of the building, the city erection of the rhubarb ginseng crossbow shot. The embroidery shattered after hitting the target. The focus will be on the inside of the wool embroidery. Intensely corrosive venom splatters. As long as it is splashed. The skin will festering quickly.

In the words of Liu+: This is called a biological weapon of mass destruction.

In the city of Loucang, there is a special warehouse, which is used to store this weapon, and it is heavily guarded and heavily guarded.

Chu Jun, getting closer and closer.

At the beginning, they were worried that Loucang would send troops to stop it, but slowly, there was no movement in Loucang City now, and this heart was put back in their stomachs. On the contrary, Chen Ying, who was standing on the light car, suddenly felt a little uneasy. The quieter the building, the more violent their counterattack will be. And until now, Loucang has not attacked, obviously seeing through his ambush.

"Inform the major general, please pay more attention to it, there may be a conspiracy in the building!"

The herald immediately agreed, but before he could get on his horse and leave, he heard a sudden rumbling drum sound from the head of the castle.

Crunchy......

The sound of the bowstring trembling was endless, and hundreds of bamboos left the string and flew towards the Chu army that was gradually advancing.

Did you make a move?

Chen Ying was stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

There is a rhubarb ginseng crossbow in the warehouse, which is expected, and Chen Ying is not surprised.

However, before the smile on his lips could fully unfold, he heard a series of dull sounds from the fluffy puff, followed by the shattering of the wooden oar, and the accompanying terrible screams echoed in the air. The range of the rhubarb ginseng crossbow is about 600 to 800 steps, and it is an excellent weapon for defending against large siege equipment. If Loucang does not act, he will have to watch the ditch that he thought was a barrier being filled by the Chu army.

But if it is attacked, the actual lethality is not too great.

After all, there are only so many rhubarb ginseng crossbows, one crossbow arrow kills a person, how many crossbow arrows can the building cang, can it be used?

The crossbow arrows consume too much, and when the siege equipment appears, the defense of the building warehouse is greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, filling the ditch is actually Chen Ying's attrition tactic. Unexpectedly, the crossbow arrows in the building warehouse were ......

The embroidered spear hit the wooden oar, and it shattered instantly. The black venom swayed in the air, and the spear was shattered, and the venom covered at least a dozen people. Chu Jun was caught off guard and was splashed with venom. At first, I didn't care about it, but soon, the place where the venom was splashed on my body appeared, and there was an ulcer. Moreover, the venom does not produce severe pain, but is extremely itchy, and it only makes people roll on the ground non-stop, scratching with their hands, scratching with their hands, and wishing to scratch all the flesh...... The mournful cry made Chen Ying's heart tremble.

Damn the Qin people, what kind of weapon do you use?

Chen Ying was still wondering that this second round of bamboo spears had been shot out of the city tower.

Losing the cover of the wooden oar, the Chu soldiers suddenly panicked and fled in all directions. Most of the embroidered spears fell to the ground and shattered...... The venom splashed, but this time, the area of killing and wounding increased sharply, and nearly a thousand Chu soldiers were splashed by the venom, rolling and howling on the ground. Those Chu soldiers who were nailed to death by bamboo spears were much luckier in comparison, after all, if they died, they died, and they didn't have to endure such pain.

Looking at the Chu soldiers, the flesh and blood that scratched themselves were blurred, and the Chu soldiers in the formation were scattered one by one.

"Stop moving, stop moving forward!"

Chen Ying shouted hoarsely, and with the sound of the gong, the defeated Chu soldiers retreated into the formation with a blank face. And those Chu soldiers who stayed on the battlefield were still howling, rolling, and scratching, making people look at it and suddenly be afraid.

"Archer, release the arrow!"

Chen Ying decisively gave the order.

But the archer hesitated, "Strategist, where to shoot?" ”

"...... those soldiers" Chen Ying pointed to the Chu army who was crying wolf on the battlefield, gritted his teeth and said: "Shoot them all, shoot them all!" ”

"Strategist, that's your own person!"

"Of course I knew it was my own people...... But do you want to see them, and then suffer alive and scratch their bowels? ”

The words made the surrounding generals silent!

Yes, looking at the appearance of those people, it is simply living a sin; You can shoot your own people......

"Shoot the arrows!" Chen Ying said angrily: "If you don't release the arrows again, don't blame me for disobeying the military order." ”

The flag bearer took a deep breath and shook his hand.

The archers were full of arrows, and the Chu soldiers on the battlefield were shot and killed on the spot. The wailing gradually subsided. However, Chen Ying clearly felt that the eyes of his own soldiers were obviously not right, and his morale was reduced to the extreme.

It's no wonder that shooting oneself in front of so many people can easily provoke hatred.

The so-called truth of the death of a rabbit and a fox is clear to everyone. Shoot those people today, tomorrow, will you shoot yourself? But as far as Chen Ying is concerned, what can be done? If you don't shoot them, the miserable situation and howls are enough to make your morale disappear.

Liu + laughed on the castle tower!

The soldiers behind him jumped up for joy and shouted 'Yan Huangwei.'

Long live Hou's slogan.

In fact, the moment the embroidered spear was shot, Liu + knew what the result would be. This is called the doctrine of victory with weapons, and the deterrent effect of advanced weapons on the enemy is immeasurable. But Chen Ying dared to shoot the wounded, making Liu + nod secretly. But he also knew that the next ...... The Chu army will definitely adjust its state and launch the craziest revenge.

"Strategist, why do you want to shoot your own people?"

Xiang Yu got the news and could no longer stay in the red clay depression.

He took his relatives and immediately rushed to the front of the battle, and shouted angrily: "Those are all my good sons, why do you want to ......?"

Although Xiang Yu suffered a great defeat, his prestige among the Chu army did not diminish at all.

Compared with the spirits of the previous days, he looked a little haggard. But when he was angry, he still had a terrifying aura.

Chen Ying pointed to the dead corpse in front of the battle, and said with a wry smile: "Young General, if you let them shout again, I am afraid that the morale of the entire army will be lost." Babies are also helpless...... God knows, how could this damn warehouse have such a vicious weapon? ”

"Didn't you plan in advance, why didn't you take precautions?"

Xiang Yu asked angrily, turned his horse's head, looked at the corpses of Chu Jun everywhere, and couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes moistened unconsciously.

"I said, Qin Gou is cunning!"

He gritted his teeth and said: "What are you doing to advance step by step, since our army is coming to the city, we should attack with all our might." Even if he dies in battle, he will live up to the prestige of my great Chu man. Kill your own people...... Doesn't it make the sons and daughters feel cold? ”

Chen Ying's face was gloomy and he didn't make a sound.

Xiang Yu was originally an arrogant person, and he had suffered defeats before, and he had reined in.

But the kindness of the woman who was engraved into her bones, when she saw the tragic situation of her corporal death, she could no longer hold back.

He galloped in front of the battle, raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, Qin Gouzi is in front of you, follow me to attack the warehouse and kill all Qin Dogs!" ”

"Break through the warehouse and kill all the Qin dogs!"

I have to admit that Xiang Yu is indeed very good at encouraging morale.

He picked off the war horse, drew his iron sword, reached out and snatched a shield, and said sharply: "Da Chu man, charge with me!" ”

The rumbling of war drums reverberated through the sky.

A team of Chu troops, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, rushed to Loucang like a tide.

Rushing to the car well, the ladder hitting the wood, mixed in the military formation, rumbling. Isn't there a ditch? Don't be afraid, we'll rush over!

Chen Ying had the heart to stop Xiang Yu's reckless charge, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back alive.

How can this young general be a person who can listen to persuasion?

If I hadn't suffered defeat before, I am afraid that I would not have listened to my own persuasion. Now, his temperament has come up, how can he be persuaded to come back?

It's just that the Chu army is afraid that it will suffer heavy casualties......

At the head of the city, the sound of bangzi sounded rapidly, followed by ten thousand arrows on the city, and a rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, pouring away.

Rhubarb ginseng crossbow, string sounds.

A crossbow arrow with the thickness of an arm's arm whistled and shot at the well.

"Catapult, shoot!"

In the face of the tidal wave of the Chu army's offensive, Liu + was not in a hurry. Seeing that the rushing car crossed the ditch and approached the city tower, he decisively gave an order. More than 100 stone-throwing carts hidden in the corners of the city gate rumbled out diamond-shaped boulders.

At the same time, in the two wings of the side forts, there was also a rain of arrows and rubble.

In the blink of an eye, the Chu army under the city suffered heavy casualties. He was shot into a hedgehog by an arrow and smashed into a pulp by a boulder.

A blur of flesh and blood, stumps and severed arms scattered all over the ground. Two wells were smashed by boulders. The soldiers in the car also died tragically in front of the battle.

Xiang Yu rushed to the front, and the iron sword flew up and down, knocking the arrow away.

But even if he rushed to the moat, he had to stop. The ladder hit the wood, and the car couldn't come forward at all.

Facing the city wall more than four feet high, Xiang Yu was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

"Young General, in the past, you tried each other with a giant tripod in Ramie Mountain, and you didn't come to be rude, but today Liu will return according to this boulder."

Liu + roared angrily at the head of the city, grabbed a town stone with one hand, stepped on the battlement, leaned out half of his body, and smashed it hard.

This town stone is about 100 catties, but when Liu + throws it down, the strength is more than a thousand pounds.

The town stone was menacing, and Xiang Yu had no way to dodge. Gritting his teeth, he raised the iron shield to block it outward, and shouted loudly: "Open!" ”

The loud sound of the tent, the iron shield was smashed into shape.

The stone rolled in the air and fell into the moat with a thud.

And Xiang Yu took a few steps back and sat on the ground. The chest was tight, the throat was sweet, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out.

"The prince is mighty, long live the prince!"

Liu + let out a sigh of relief, and the depression of being injured by the dark arrow the day before yesterday was also swept away.

The Chu army under the city was in a panic.

"Protect the Major General, protect the Major General!"

More than 100 soldiers rushed forward in the rain of arrows, and the two of them held Xiang Yu and retreated. Xiang Yu still had the heart to struggle, but helplessly, Liu +'s blow made his body weak and difficult to exert force.

Damn Liu+!

Xiang Yu kept scolding in his heart, but more, it was a deep helplessness.

"Young General, you still owe me an arrow, and you will pay it back in the future."

The Chu army protected Xiang Yu strictly, and Liu + was also difficult to start. Watching Xiang Yu retreat, he couldn't help but shout loudly at the head of the city.

Knowing this sentence, Xiang Yu's heart was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood again, and he fainted all of a sudden.

Bell Bell ......

In the camp of the Chu army, the sound of gongs sounded.

The soldiers of Chu, who were beaten to the ground, retreated like a tide.

Morale, it seems, is even lower!

And the casualties are also very heavy.

With one charge, at least more than a thousand soldiers fell under the castle. However, it was not without effect, at least two ditches were filled.

Looking at the dead bodies everywhere, Chen Ying was also heartbroken.

But when it comes to this, there is only hard work......

"Send the major general down to rest, pass my general's order, regroup the men and horses, and continue the attack...... I'm going to see how many tricks he still has in the warehouse. ”

The drums rumbled, and the defeated Chu army quickly formed a formation.

But at this moment, a herald came to the light cart on horseback with a panicked expression, turned over and fell off the horse, and said in a trembling voice: "Strategist, it's not good! ”

"What's the alarm?"

"The Huaishui pontoon bridge was destroyed!"

Chen Ying was stunned, "Isn't the Huaishui pontoon bridge already repaired?" ”

"Ruined again!" The herald forced his voice and said: "Just last night, a Qin army suddenly attacked and not only burned the pontoon bridge, but also burned all the grain and grass that was hoarded on the riverside......

"What?"

After hearing this, Chen Ying was immediately shocked, "You say it again?" ”

"The Huaishui pontoon bridge was burned, and all the grain and grass were burned!"

Ahh......h

Chen Ying gasped, looked up at the head of the building, and seemed to understand something at once!
