Dian Wei was unmoved, the trebuchets on both sides were desperately attacking each other, everyone knew who was the biggest threat to them at this time, so they wanted to eliminate each other as soon as possible.
At the head of the city, the two trebuchets of the defenders aimed at a trebuchet of the Xiliang army under the city wall, and the soldiers shouted neat trumpets, little by little, the huge winch on the trebuchet was twisted up, and the pitcher who was responsible for observing and aiming corrected the commander soldier little by little.
"A little to the left, yes, this is the position, listen to my command, one, two, three, put!"
With his order, the two trebuchets made a muffled sound, and two boulders weighing more than 100 catties roared and flew to a trebuchet of the Xiliang Army, more than a dozen soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were charging up the trebuchet shouted, scattered and fled, as soon as they raised their feet, two boulders hit their trebuchets one after another, and the trebuchet as high as three or four zhang was immediately smashed off the support wood in the middle, and made a squeaky sound and slowly fell to the side, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shouted and jumped away, so as not to be hit by a fallen trebuchet.
"Well played, who hit this, give him a credit!"
Zhou Cang was very happy when he saw that one of the other party's trebuchets had been destroyed, and he walked to his own trebuchet to give credit to several soldiers.
"General Qiyu, it was Second Brother Li who took the little ones to fight just now!"
One soldier replied, pointing with his hand to another young soldier.
"Second Brother Li?" Zhou Cang was stunned, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”
"General Qiyu, the villain's name is Li Er, the second in the family, the brothers love me, so they call me 'second brother', general, if you want to remember the merit, don't just remember me, this is all the brothers worked together to complete, not Li Er's credit alone!"
Zhou Cang nodded, this person actually knows how to ask for credit for his subordinates, it seems that he not only has the ability, but also knows how to be a person, such a talent can't be buried, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will remember all of you for a merit, and when I go back, I will go to the general to ask for a reward for you, do a good job, and strive to kill a few more Xiliang thieves, the lord is watching from behind, don't embarrass me!" ”
Several people said yes again and again, and Zhou Cang left here and went to another place to command the battle.
"Second brother, General Zhou said that he wanted to give us credit, what reward will we get? Will we be rewarded with a lot of gold, I heard that the lord rewarded their cavalry scouts with a large amount of gold last time, and those boys went back to the kiln. ”
Another said: "I don't think so, the lord knows what we need, maybe he will give us a beautiful little girl, I heard that our Lord Cheng has been registered among the refugees, and there are many little girls in the refugees who are not married, you can talk about it, will there be our share?" ”
Another person said: "Then how can it be, a girl is useless, we are more than a dozen old men, that girl can't even get out of our second brother's bed, which round to get us, the brothers say yes!" ”
The crowd roared together, "Yes! ”
Li Er raised his hand and gave one of them a look, and scolded: "Straight lady thief, you don't even open the door one by one, what are you doing so loudly, don't hurry up and fill the plate for me, the performance is not good for General Zhou to see, there is no reward, you have a fantasy!" ”
The crowd laughed and laughed, and began to shout neatly again, and began to load and plate the trebuchet little by little.
The Xiliang army had rushed to a position a hundred steps away from the city wall at this time, Dian Wei gave an order, thousands of soldiers on the city wall stretched their bows and arrows, aiming at the rapidly approaching enemy army, the Xiliang army initially arranged a row of shield soldiers in front, but their formation had become loose and messy under the previous trebuchet blow, and from a high place, the bow and arrow would pass over the front of these shield soldiers, Dian Wei's target was a large number of defenseless soldiers pushing siege equipment behind.
"Put!"
The enemy army has entered eighty steps, Dian Wei did not hesitate, an order, a dull bowstring sound quickly came from the city wall, a black feather arrow like a black cloud suddenly burst out, fiercely rushed towards the dense formation of the Xiliang army, a scream suddenly came from the Xiliang army's formation, a large number of soldiers were shot by arrows, and many arrows were shot on the shield, blocked by the heavy shield, making a jingling sound.
The bows and arrows of the defenders seem to be like a signal, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army do not care about the dense bows and arrows that fall from the sky, and speed up one by one, they know in their hearts that the more they run, the less dangerous they are, because the closer they are to the city wall, the trebuchets and bows of the defenders will not be able to play a role because of the reason for shooting dead corners, and if the archers of the defenders choose to lean out to shoot arrows, they will become the target of the archers on their side, so, as long as they run this distance, They would be in a much better position.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they came to a distance of fifty paces, and the arrows rained down on the city, and the trebuchets were also shooting at the enemy troops below the city wall all the time.
The closer the distance, the more powerful the defenders' weapons became, the Xiliang soldiers were smashed into meatloaf by a boulder as big as a grinding plate, and the boulders rolled and jumped in the Xiliang army's formation, taking away the lives of the soldiers, leaving a large red bloodstain, but the Xiliang army had already killed the red eyes, they didn't even look at the dead companions, one by one, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they rushed forward with a loud roar with red eyes, and finally, the soldiers ran into the position of thirty parts away from the city wall, The trebuchets on the city wall instantly lost their role, and they all began to turn around, aiming at the few remaining trebuchets behind the Xiliang army.
For a while, dense stones flew over one after another, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army held on for a few rounds, finding that their firepower was far less powerful than that of the other party, and they were all frightened, screaming and scattering to escape, and no longer dared to shoot at the defenders.
At this time, thousands of Xiliang troops were erecting siege ladders on the city wall, and the tragic siege battle officially began.
