Chapter 256: The Enemy Siege
Iron Horse Pass General's Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Song Qi spent the past two days with a sad face.
The spies sent to Liuyun County to spy on the news finally returned, standing in front of the table to report the news to Song Qi 1510.
"This Chuerji is not an official general, he is just a doorman of the great general Quandou. This person only appeared in Doan Province two years ago. Quan Dou found out that Chu Erji had some abilities and could do some clever things, so he left him in the Great General's Mansion and treated him like a guest. ”
"Wait." Song Qi's body leaned forward from behind the table, his eyes full of doubts, "You said that Qiu Erji only appeared in Do'an Mansion two years ago?" Where is he from? Where have you been before? ”
The spy shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is from, and I don't know where he used to be." ”
Song Qi changed his sitting position, squinted at the spy, and asked thoughtfully, "Then how did he appear in Duo'an Mansion?" ”
The spy raised his hand and gestured, and his eyebrows flew and said: "I heard that once General Quan Dou went hunting in the mountains, and suddenly encountered a strong wind and rain, so they ran to the big tree to take shelter from the rain, and suddenly found a person hanging on the tree above their heads, covered in scaly wounds, unconscious, and drenched by the rain, so they climbed the tree to save him and carried him back to the house." He asked a doctor for treatment and snatched his life back from the ghost gate. Because Quan Dou saved his life, he is loyal to Quan Dou and has no second thoughts. ”
"Oh, I see. I'm roughly clear, you go down. Song Qi waved his hand at the spy and told him to step back.
After the spies left, Song Qi lay on his back in a chair, his head resting on the back of the chair, his eyes staring at the roof vacantly, dazed. His hand touched his chin, and his fingers inadvertently and kept pinching and rubbing.
Judging from the way the Chull machine appeared, he must have also crossed over; Judging from the time he appeared, it was almost the same time as himself, and it is very likely that he traveled from the same plane.
Dealing with a person who has traveled through time is much trickier than dealing with a person in this world itself. Because what I can think of, he can think of too. I don't have any advantage over him.
Chuerji has no home here, no relatives, so it can be said that there is no concern. There is simply nowhere to use his brain, except to make up his mind in himself.
The most important thing is that the way to deal with Chuerji can only be thought of by him alone. Because he can't tell others that Chuerji is also a traverser, that would be tantamount to exposing his identity.
Besides, even if you tell them, no one will believe them. Even if someone believed it, they couldn't think of a way for the other party to be a traverser.
Alas, the same traverser, why is Chull so much stronger than me?
How could he build such powerful behemoths as ballistas and stone-throwing carts? The catapult can strike from a distance, and the ballista can raid from a medium and long distance, and the two work together seamlessly, and there is basically no rival in this world.
Alas, it seems that this Chull is really a headache opponent.
Next, what should I do with this Chull machine?
He raised his hands and rubbed his temples vigorously. It's as if you can knead it like this to make a good idea.
"It seems that to deal with Chu Erji, you can only start with his benefactor Quan Dou!" Song Qi thought.
Song Qi was bowing his head and falling into contemplation, when suddenly a soldier stumbled into the general's mansion and reported loudly: "General Song, Qiu Erji is challenging outside the gate!" I want you to go out and talk to you. ”
Song Qi was awakened from his contemplation, his heart suddenly rose, he suddenly raised his head, squinted at the soldier, and asked, "How many men did he bring?" "The heart said that this Qiu Erji was too deceitful, and I didn't go to him, but he came to me.
The soldier hesitated for a moment, "It's dark outside the gate, and I can't see how many people there are." ”
"Okay, you go and inform the generals, and immediately follow me up to the castle tower to watch." Song Qi said, taking the repeater and quiver from the side to the weapon rack.
He didn't say that he would go out of town with me to fight, because he still had a haunt with Chul's ballista and stone-throwing carts.
Song Qi led a group of generals to climb the South Gate Tower of Tiema Pass from the road to the city.
The last time Song Qi attacked the city was from the north gate, and this time the city was defended at the south gate. Although there was not much time apart, it felt like a world away from heaven and earth.
The city wall is made of huge bluestones, tall and thick, with arrow stacks lined up on it, stretching out on both sides until the hills on both sides. The momentum is very majestic.
Stand at the mouth of the battlement and look down at the city. I saw that the slope below the city was fluttering with the flag of the Patriotic Nation, and it was full of patriotic soldiers.
Chuerji rode a spotted leopard and swam proudly in front of the formation almost a thousand paces from the city wall.
Song Qi thought to himself: This Qiu Er machine was hit by my crossbow arrow, why didn't it take two days to get better, and the people and horses were so energetic as if nothing had happened? Could it be that he has some elixir in him?
Qiu Erji raised his eyes under the city and saw Song Qi appear on the city tower, unhurriedly stepped forward a few hundred steps, came to a place less than four hundred steps away from the city wall, raised his hand and pointed at Song Qi on the city with a three-section stick, laughing, with a mocking tone in his tone: "Song Qi, why are you hiding in the city like a turtle with a shrunken head and not coming out?" Am you scared out of me? If you are afraid of death, hurry up and give me an obedient exit from the Iron Horse Pass, quit the country, if I am happy, I can give you a way to live! ”
Qiu Erji's words were very ugly, Song Qi was impulsive and wanted to go out and beat him, but at this moment he could only endure it, and sneered at each other: "Qiu Erji, why are you here again?" Do you still want to taste my repeater? ”
Chuerji patted the place where the crossbow arrows on his body had hit, and said with a disdainful face: "Repeater? Haha, your crossbow bolts are nothing more than mosquito bites to me. My crossbow arrows can shoot you through the heart! Don't think that if you hide in the city and don't come out, I won't be able to help you! You're wrong! You've seen the power of my ballistas and stone-throwing carts, which can raze your city to the ground for a mile! If you want to escape, hurry up as soon as possible, or by the time I give the order to siege the city, it will be too late to regret it! ”
Song Qi reprimanded sharply: "Qiu Erji, don't be too arrogant!" I'm thinking of ways to hack your ballista and catapults! I believe that it will only take a day or two to crack the locomotive you rely on! ”
Chuerji shook the three-section stick crisply, and said with a cruel smile: "A day or two? Do you think I'll give you another day or two? So saying, he turned his horse's head, returned to his own position, swung his three-section stick vigorously, and gave a loud order: "Siege!" ”
I saw that the soldiers in front of the line spread out to both sides, and the vacant position in the middle revealed the majestic ballista and the imposing stone throwing car, which moved forward more than a hundred steps in a rocking motion.
Song Qi saw that the enemy was moving and arranging under his nose as if no one was around, and he was angry, and ordered loudly: "Prepare a strong crossbow!" ”
The soldiers hurriedly took out a hundred and ten strong crossbows from the arrow tower and placed them on shelves like longboard tables.
This powerful crossbow is several times thicker than an ordinary bow, and it takes two soldiers to pull the crossbow apart, which is too backward compared to the crossbow cart of the Chur machine, and it is simply not a weapon of the same era.
Song Qi saw that the strong crossbow was ready, and whispered a few words to the strong crossbowman, and then waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" (To be continued.) )
