Chapter 557: A Strange Catapult

Huang Zhong saw that he had succeeded in an arrow, and at this time he hurriedly slapped his horse out, and wanted to capture and kill Xu Chu, as a general of a town, how could he not know the weight of Xu Chu, but as soon as the war horses stepped together, he heard the neighing of a strange beast.

The ghost wolf, the strange beast that Ma Chao recovered in Xiliang, although it is not as fierce as the bloody night demon wolf, but the bloodthirsty hobby is still excessive.

There is a circle of black hair on the neck, and the rest is all bright silver wolf hair, grinning teeth, such fierceness is not borne by ordinary war horses.

"General Xu retreats first, I'll meet this person for a while."

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and Huang Zhongbi, the difference between the two was thirty or forty years old, one was brave and unparalleled, and the other was old and serious, and the two sides did not pause at all, and fought directly in one place.

"Xiliang Jinma Chao?"

Ma Chao flipped the tiger's head and the golden gun, tied up his forehead provocatively, and said with a smile: "Go to the king of Hades and ask me my name, you are just a dying person, don't mention it." ”

Huang Zhong didn't care, and slowly raised his longbow, this is another kind of contempt.

And Cao Cao, who was in the distance, turned around and asked, "The dead have already been arranged?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Twelve thousand people, none of them are only children, and Your Majesty can explain it." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let the remaining forty catapults tie up the oil tanks first, and send the more than 100 ploughing oxen to the battle, and it will be up to them to break the city." ”

Cheng Yu nodded silently, Cao Cao's move was to injure the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 by himself, but in order to deter Jingzhou, this was also the easiest way.

At this time, Ma Chao and the two began to fight again, and the two sides did not have momentum, but chose to fight directly on the spot, all relying on moves, and this came and went for more than 100 rounds.

Ma Chao killed well, forced Huang Zhong back with a gun, and said loudly: "You and I have fought for more than 100 rounds, why don't you give up the clumsy armor and kill lightly for a while." ”

Huang Zhong's face remained unchanged, and he said: "It's exactly what I want, and in the next hundred rounds, I will definitely take your life." ”

Ma Chao was noncommittal, went directly to the silver armor and iron helmet, turned to his shirtless body, and killed him again.

King Li sighed and said: "This Huang Zhong is also an old general, but the more he fights, the more fierce he becomes, and his strength is inexhaustible, what a mighty position, I'm afraid Lian Po is alive, it's just like that." ”

Everyone felt something, and they all thought that what King Li said was right, this Huang Zhong seemed to be old, but the level of martial arts was incredible, and perhaps only Lian Po could compare with him.

Cao Cao waited for another cup of tea, but when he saw that the two of them were still fighting for a long time, it turned out to be a five-five situation, and he was a little impatient.

Turned his head to look at the sun and calculated the time: "The hour is almost up, and if it drags on, this battle will inevitably drag on until dark, giving the enemy time to recuperate, and the catapult will listen to my orders!" ”

The sound of "creaking" arms sounded, and the clay pots surrounded by them, half of which were tung oil and half of which were dung, were easy to burn.

"Put !!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the catapult that had been prepared for a long time fell down the noose at dusk, and more than 40 clay pots flew out one after another, heading straight for Xinye.

Qin Qiong roared angrily: "Raise the cowhide to resist the stone, and the rest of the people bent their bows and arrows to welcome General Huang into the city." ”

The soldiers hurriedly did as they were told, and when the cowhides were raised, the clay pot was approaching.

Qin Qiong was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" Why didn't any of these slings fall on the city? ”

It's no wonder that he was depressed, but he had studied Cao Cao's siege routine, and he followed the example of King Li, and whenever there was a battle, he would first hit the city with a catapult, and then order the army to attack the city.

But at this time, it turned out to be the opposite, could it be that the catapult had been destroyed by Tie Xiaowei and had lost its crosshairs?

But when the second round of slings came, he directly vetoed his idea, only to see that one by one the slings fell again, still not aimed at the city, what does this mean?

Dumbfounded, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, holding the cowhide originally wanted to resist the might of the stone, but now it didn't come in handy at all, again and again, the enemy army clearly did not want to hit the city.

Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and said: "No matter, let General Huang enter the city quickly, and it will change later." ”

The sound of gold resounded on the battlefield, Huang Zhong glanced at the city, and also saw Cao Cao's catapult working, at this time he could only force Ma Chao to retreat, and turn the horse away.

Ma Chao whipped out and roared angrily: "The veteran of the Wuna, knowing that he is invincible, but retreating?" I said that the war was not stopped, but it didn't match the truth......"

Huang Zhong didn't care about him, he didn't even fight back even if he scolded, his back was bent, three arrows were buckled in the palm of his hand, and when he caught the direction of Ma Chao, he shot over.

Ma Chao hurriedly avoided it, but because of his anger, he lost his sense of proportion, and his skin was cut open......

Hurriedly tightened the reins, and could only watch Huang Zhong rush back to the city, secretly annoyed, how long had it been since there had been such a big battle, and it was too boring to stay in Xiliang all day.

The two armies clashed, but not one person could lay the victory, that is, between the two of them, the catapult also threw a full ten rounds, without any accidents, all the clay pots fell on the city wall or in the city, and the city head was not affected.

While wearing his armor, Huang Zhong said angrily: "Why Mingjin? Don't you see that I and the Ma family are about to split the winner? ”

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly: "The enemy's intentions are unknown, and the catapults are too dense......"

Huang Zhong was furious and said, "Didn't you have a plan to block it with cowhide? ”

Qin Qiong said: "General Huang can see for himself, the enemy army did not hit the head of the city, but smashed the tung oil clay pot inside and outside the city. ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up, it was really as Qin Qiong said, but what was the purpose of doing this? Even if the enemy wants to attack with fire, it is necessary to pour oil on the city.

At this moment, a wave of clay pots struck again, and the city trembled slightly......

"Huh!? What is it? ”

Huang Zhong sensed at a glance that something was wrong, and a yellowish substance was shaken out from the cracks in the city wall.

My heart was in the twilight, and I hurriedly stretched out my finger and took it, put it under my nose and sniffed it, and it didn't take long for my face to change.

"Is this bamboo shavings?"

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then changed color, grabbed a young general beside him and roared angrily: "Who asked you to add bamboo chips to the city wall?" ”

The man's face was frightened, and he stammered, "Big... My lord, the city walls... Loose, the application of bamboo chips can make it more stable, some gaps are large, and even bamboo chips will be added to support, which is not ...... It's been around since ancient times. ”

Qin Qiong's face was pale, constantly changing, and after a long time, he sighed, and could only let him go.

He smiled bitterly: "It seems that the enemy army is about to bomb the city......"

Huang Zhong is also extremely bitter, how to deal with such a crisis......

In ancient times, after the great war, the city wall must be strengthened and repaired, and like this Xinye, the war is frequent, naturally can not be carefully repaired, so it can only be filled with light bamboo chips, and some seriously damaged will be piled up with bamboo chips, and then filled with bamboo chips, so as to continue to put into defense the next day.

Everyone should know what happens to bamboo chips and bamboo chips after they are heated, and in ancient times, the explosion of bamboo chips would be used as firecrackers during the Spring Festival, which is the reason...... (To be continued.) )
