Chapter 136: The Siege Begins

The sky was slightly dawning, and the earth was shining with a hazy light, but the top and bottom of Wanqiu City were still pitch black, as if the night had not yet passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Strategist, do you want to start attacking the city now?" Qi Rong rode his horse to the side of the handsome car, sat on horseback, and did not ask Qi Zilan who was sitting on it, only asked Yu Xin who was standing next to Qi Zilan, with a slight sense of injustice in his eyes.

"The army is already in place?" Yu Xin said uneasily.

"The moat has been filled in, and the rejuvenating deer firewood has been removed. The gates were unhindered before. ”

"Let's get started." Yu Xin, who got a positive answer, nodded, and said to Gongsun under the chariot, "Burn the wolf smoke and notify the four gates to attack the city at the same time." ”

"Yes!" Gongsun clenched his fists, turned around and went to arrange manpower.

After a while, I saw a thick smoke slowly rising, and the sky and the earth, which had become brighter and brighter, were darkened. At the same time, the fierce shouting of people and horses sounded in the sky above Wanqiu City.

The millstone of war is turning slowly!

The huge rough stone roared and rolled towards the city wall, most of them smashed on the city wall, smashing the thick and strong city wall into brick debris, and many fragments splashed the little body of Chen Guobing Niang who was hiding behind the battlements accidentally scratched out the blood marks of the road, and some of the throwing accurate boulders happened to smash in the city road, and immediately smashed Chen Guobing Niang under it into a meat pie, and the cobblestone continued to roll, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere it passed, causing a mourning. As for Chen Guo, because the trebuchet could not be placed in Chengtou, he had no choice but to sit on the sidelines.

After a round of trebuchet, it was another long preparation time. But the war did not stop there.

Countless servants had already flocked around the huge and bulky rushing car, and after receiving the order, they shouted in unison, shoulders and legs and blushing faces, and worked together to slowly push the rushing car. The car slowly but firmly approached Wanqiu City, and soon approached within the range of Chen Guo's bow and arrows. Suddenly the arrows above the city were like flying locusts, and the servants hurriedly hid behind the baffle covered with cowhide for the rushing car, and only a small part of the unlucky servants panicked and failed to find the baffle where they were hiding, and they were shot into hedgehogs when they landed, and they fell to the ground with their heads overwhelmed. The arrows were fierce and dense like rain, and they could not stop the pace of rushing cars towards the city gate.

Not to be outdone, Chen Jun had already erected a huge hammer above the city gate, and when the car approached, he smashed it suddenly, smashing all the people and cars under its shroud into powder.

The other soldiers of the Chu army naturally will not stand idly by, as early as the start of the rush, they organized six thousand people in a large array, by the strong soldiers holding a huge shield to resist in front, step together to the head of the city, and wait until the city wall is included in the range of the bow and arrow, then stop, the dense shield to the ground, the body against the shield, the archer behind the shield open the bow and arrows, and the head of the city Chen Jun to provide cover.

After most of the archers of the Chen army were attracted by the archers of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army, who were quietly waiting behind the ladder, were wearing light armor and pushing the ladder towards the head of the city under the order of the general. They will be the real main force in the siege.

At the same time, the same thing happened to the other three gates of Wanqiu City. The thick and simple city suddenly turned into a meat grinder, and lives were lost every minute.

Yu Xin looked at everything that was happening in front of him, he didn't feel the slightest fear, his blood was boiling, and there was a rush of excitement in his heart, and he couldn't wait to come forward and fight in person. This is the dimensional life, and it is exactly what Yu Xin pursues and yearns for.

"The herald ordered the trebuchet to aim at the city gate and bombard, scattering the Chen army's hanging hammer." Seeing that the hammer hanging on the city gate smashed the rushing car that the servant mother had finally pushed into the city gate hole into pieces, she couldn't help but feel distressed. No wonder the siege equipment was depleted so quickly, and he didn't know if the rushed car he had prepared was enough, so Yu Xin glanced at the rushing array beside him with some worry in his heart.

"Strategist, we don't have many stones, and although the trebuchet has been improved, the number of times it can be used is about to reach the upper limit, is it better to change another batch of trebuchets?" The public loser standing next to the handsome car said respectfully.

"Go, go, go." Even though the distress is worn out too quickly, there is no better way to leave the heart. It seems that in the future, we must find a way to improve the service life of trebuchets, and of course, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to collect stones. Yu Xin said secretly in his heart.

"Chen Jun's resistance is fierce." Qi Zilan sat in the handsome seat and sighed, she couldn't become a fat person in one bite, she was not worried about the siege. Just take the opportunity to talk to Yu Xin. Since yesterday's deliberations, Yu Xin has not taken the initiative to talk to her, so she naturally knows what the reason is.

Sure enough, Yu Xin pretended not to have heard, turned his head to the public loss class and asked: "The public loss class, it is understandable that the trebuchet is difficult to make without big wood, is there not even a stone?" ”

"The military advisor doesn't know, this Wanqiu City is surrounded by thousands of miles of fertile fields, not to mention stones, there is not even a mountain, there is really no place to find stones, and these stones are also obtained by demolishing the houses of many large families outside the city and searching everywhere. It's even harder to compare than Oki. The military advisor doesn't know, just for these stones... "The public loss class hurriedly poured bitter water.

"Alright, alright. More on the stone later. Throw all the stones at the wall for me. Yu Xin hurriedly stopped Gongsun's complaint. Since Mi Zilan handed over the military command for the next seven days to him, the public loss class has become much bolder, and he didn't know how much bitter water was poured in front of Yu Xin in the middle of the afternoon yesterday afternoon, and he listened to it with a big head.

The herald, who had received the order, rode to the trebuchet camp to deliver the order.

"If you do this, tomorrow the siege trebuchet will be an ornament." Qi Zilan couldn't help but say.

"That's right, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, isn't there still six days left, don't be in a hurry." Elder Xu, who was standing beside Qi Zilan, looked at Yu Xin, who was anxious, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Instead of tickling it day by day, it might as well hurt it this time." Yu Xin shook his fist.

"There's always a way." Elder Xu comforted. She faintly regretted strongly recommending Yu Xin to come out and take charge of the siege.

"What can be done, people hide inside and don't come out, so they can only attack." Yu Xin spread his hands and looked depressed.

"You can also do the same as last time, turn the tiger away from the mountain and fish in troubled waters, and blend into Wanqiu City." A flash of light flashed in Qi Zilan's mind, and she said excitedly.

"Do you think people will be fooled? Besides, what are we going to do to divert the tiger from the mountain? Yu Xin looked at Qi Zilan with an idiotic look.

Finally waited for Yu Xin to talk to herself, Qi Zilan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time a wave of anger rose, but she came up with a method that she had an idea, and after thinking about it carefully, it really didn't work very well, so she had to stare at Yu Xin angrily.

"So what do you do?"

"I don't have an idea, let's attack the city first." Yu Xin was helpless.

"But Chen Guo is not short of troops, so they have an advantage in attacking the city." Elder Xu was worried.

"If there are enough stones, we can stone them to death." Yu Xin was annoyed.

"In fact, even if there are enough stones, the number of catapults we have is limited, and a catapult will be scrapped after about ten uses, and there is no way to crush Chen Jun." The public loss class is weak.

"You don't have to say a word." Yu Xin was exhausted and glared angrily. I lamented in my heart, I knew this earlier, it was better to stay in the baggage camp to avoid this catastrophe. I couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with the fact that the public loss class didn't put the sword around his neck like last time and prevent Mi Zilan from transferring him.

Seeing Yu Xin's resentful gaze at him, the public loss class trembled in his heart, and his already thin body couldn't help shrinking back, eager to hide himself behind Gongsun who was standing next to him.
