Chapter 163: The War Resumes

Outside Wanqiu City, the sun gradually revealed its full face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Are you sure about Yu Xin? The vanguard cavalry of the Qi and Jin coalition forces has already appeared in the border area of Chen State, and it only takes one day to rush to Wanqiu City, and if Wanqiu City is not taken, it can only retreat. Qi Zilan was still a little worried, turned her head to look around, and saw that no one was paying attention to herself, so she whispered to Yu Xin beside her.

"Definitely! It's not like you haven't seen the poison gas pack that Elder Xu has concocted. Yu Xin was full of confidence, but he couldn't help it, and he had to send it. He is the proposer, and even he himself is not confident, how can this battle be fought.

"That's true, but I'm afraid the other side will be prepared." Qi Zilan nodded, still a little worried. Whether the war can be won is related to the expectations of the lord of the country for her and her own future, and she cannot be careless. It's okay to retreat directly, after all, there is a letter from the lord of the country in front, and now continue to attack the city, if you don't take it, it will increase casualties, and you may even be entangled by the Qi and Jin coalition forces and can't get out, which is a big responsibility.

"Oh, when I brought it up, everyone had incredible expressions, and Chen Jun must not have thought of it. Besides, you see that the weather is just right now, there is no wind and no rain, this is God is helping us, don't worry, when you are seen, you think that even the coach has no confidence, and it will not be good if it affects the morale of the army. ”

Qi Zilan thought that it was indeed as Yu Xin said, and then she felt that she could give it a go, so she decided to attack the city despite the public opinion, and those words just now were mainly to relieve her nervousness, and as soon as she heard Yu Xin say, she pressed her mind and joked at Yu Xin: "Well, too." I've put my life on you, so it's good that you're responsible for me. ”

Gongsun Dengshi, who was low-eyed and obedient on the side, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

"You can rest assured, there is a general personally commanding in front of the battle, there must be no problem." Yu Xin has an extra heart, so he doesn't want to take all the responsibility on himself.

Qi Zilan glared at Yu Xin angrily, "From beginning to end, you proposed it, and I will make you responsible." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm in charge, I'm in charge." Yu Xin had obviously felt the murderous aura emanating from Gongsun's body, so he had no choice but to compromise and submit. He was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, Qi Zilan would say something shocking again.

However, Yu Xin found that Gongsun didn't seem to have retreated from his killing intent, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Did you say the wrong thing again?

Fortunately, the entanglement did not last long, and a herald stepped forward.

"Report to the marshal, all the armies are in place, and the general asks the marshal to give the order on whether to start the siege."

Qi Zilan's expression froze, and she turned her head to look at Yu Xin.

Yu Xin glanced at the flags hanging from the four corners of the chariot and nodded.

"Order, this commander gives the general the right to make decisions on the spot, so that he can plan the front-line military, and he doesn't have to report everything, he must take Wanqiu City today!" Qi Zilan stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice to the military generals standing under the chariot.

When Gongsun heard this, he immediately arranged for his personal soldiers to send orders to each army one by one. The herald turned around immediately, the military situation was urgent, how could she afford it as a little soldier, so she naturally didn't dare to delay, which was also the duty of a herald.

As soon as the siege order was given, Yu Xin's heart also hung in the air. When his future is at stake, there is naturally no way to remain indifferent. However, Yu Xin looked indifferent on the surface, and in her eyes, she paid tribute to him, and the military advisor was the same. Everyone had some confidence in taking Wanqiu City for a while. This was something I didn't expect.

These generals are the generals of the follow-up siege, and when they have confidence, the soldiers under them will naturally boost their morale, which is naturally a great good thing for the siege.

didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and there were bursts of drums in front of them, and for a while, the drums of various military formations vied to resound in the sky. The east gate of Wanqiu City was difficult to find for a while, and all of them were frightened by the murderous aura that permeated the east gate at this time.

Uncle Xia Yu, the head of Wanqiu City, was also shocked, and glanced left and right. The accompanying soldiers knew what they meant, and hurriedly withdrew from the simple tent of the city tower and went out to give orders.

For a while, Chen Jun at the head of the city was also busy. Firewood began to be added to the oil pots everywhere, and all the equipment used to defend the Chu army, such as rolling stones and sassalwood, was also transported to the battlements of the city wall, and some sandbags were also placed everywhere on the road at the head of the city. As for the catapults, they were exhausted by the Chu army one by one long ago, and there was no stock in the city at this time.

Chen Junbing's mother hid under the battlements of the city wall, and only peeked at the city through the lookout from time to time. Because according to the previous law, the Chu army will first use catapults, and then it will send soldiers to attack the city.

Sure enough, Chen Jun saw that the catapults under the city began to slowly reload and charge under the control of the servants of the Chu army's baggage battalion.

Chen Jun collectively sighed. If it weren't for the damage of his own catapult, he would not have to be beaten passively.

However, there are also sharp-eyed Chen Junbingniang found that the stone bullets in the Chu military uniform this time seemed to be a little different from the past, the outside was actually wrapped in a layer of cloth, and even in broad daylight, there were people standing next to them with torches, and the distance of the catapult was also a little closer, although it was still outside the range of his bow and arrow.

Just when the soldiers of the Chen army thought that the Chu army had panicked and was stupid enough to light the torches during the day, the stone bullets on those catapults suddenly roared towards the city wall with white smoke.

Hundreds of "stone bullets" rained down. Some of them are slapped on the city wall and fall directly under the root of the city wall, and some of them fly over the city wall and fall into the city, and only a small part can fall accurately on the city wall.

It was this part of the "stone bullet" that caused Chen Junbing's mother to be frightened. The bouncing and rolling of the stone bullet falling on the head of the city with great power is the most fatal, although there are sandbags paved in advance, but it still cannot completely offset the power of the stone bullet, and there will still be many soldiers who are crushed by the stone bullet.

But this time, Chen Junbing's mother found that these "stone bullets" did not roll and bounce as before, and did not even make the muffled sound of stones hitting the city wall. It only jumped a few times and then stood still. Chen Jun's eyes widened for a while, could it really be as the general above said, Chu Jun couldn't pick up the stones to polish the stone bullets? Chen Junbing's mother invariably breathed a sigh of relief, and for a while, a huge sigh was formed on the noisy battlefield, and the Chu army close to the city could faintly hear it.

However, Chen Junbing's mother didn't have time to be happy, and a big question mark appeared on her head. How can these stone bullets smoke? As a result, before these Chen Junbing Niang figured out why, a violent pungent smell suddenly spread!
