Chapter 358: Shan Fu is not mediocre
The Xuzhou army only used the loss of dozens of war horses to fill in a section of river more than ten zhang wide.
And it only took more than two hours, and it was just noon, even if it was still a long time before the three days Shan Fu said......
Shan Fu even doubted that even if Quxian County could hold out for three days, the Xuzhou army would not stop......
When Shan Fu was distressed, more than a dozen wells were pushed out of the Xuzhou military array.
These wells are seven or eight feet higher than the city walls of Qu County, and the soldiers standing on them can condescendingly shoot arrows at the head of the city. With these big guys suppressing with arrows first, the siege force of the Xuzhou army will be smoother.
"It turns out that the cavalry filling the river is not only to be faster, but also to test the weapons of the city defense?" Shan Fu's mood calmed down a little when he saw these big guys.
"Strategist...... These things must be destroyed, or defending the city is delusional...... Let me take someone out! A small leader beside Shan Fu said anxiously, obviously he had experienced the battle formation and knew the threat of Jing Yan to the defending side.
Shan Fu looked at the city calmly, shook his head and said.
"Chen Deng is not incompetent, you see, those cavalry who fill in the earth are still watching from a short distance, as long as our people rush out, they will directly launch a surprise attack, and then the arrows on the head of the city will not be able to help you! There is no life or death here! ”
"But......," the little leader wanted to say more.
"Don't worry, I have a solution! Wait until they get closer, when the foot soldiers are ready to attack the city! Shan Fu waved his hand and said.
Sun Guan's explanation was still echoing in his ears, and the little leader couldn't refute Shan Fu, so he could only wait anxiously on the sidelines.
However, Sun Guan's command is worthy of the name of the elite of Mount Tai, and the enemy is not much panicked, obviously they are all characters who have seen blood.
As the well got closer and closer, and finally stopped a hundred paces away, many Xuzhou archers climbed up under the escort of the giant shield.
Immediately, more Xuzhou soldiers rushed forward, waiting for the compatriots on the well to shoot arrows to cover their own charge.
The Xuzhou soldiers on the well were skillfully bending their bows and arrows, and were about to shoot.
Suddenly, there was the sound of iron strings twisting from the hidden place at the head of the city, and at the same time, a dozen black lights flew out from the bed crossbow, which was an iron hook tied to a rope.
The iron hook hooked the well to death, and the more than a dozen well guards of the Xuzhou army suddenly became like marionettes.
With a shout from the city, a dozen ropes worked together.
More than a dozen wells of the Xuzhou army were suddenly plunged headlong, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky. Countless Xuzhou soldiers were either thrown or crushed into meat sauce.
"What?" Chen Deng's jaw dropped almost in shock.
It turns out that the well can still be broken like this? Chen Deng almost never thought about this question.
Whether it was a fire attack in the city or a desperate rush out of destruction, Chen Deng thought of a way to deal with it, but this is the only one that Chen Deng never dreamed of......
"It seems that there are high-ranking people in the city!" Chen Deng couldn't help but glance at Mi Fang. There is no more contempt.
"Attack!" Mi Fang couldn't help but say.
Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, waved his hand violently, and someone waved the order flag, and with the sound of drums, the Xuzhou army infantry began to move.
At the forefront of the Xuzhou military formation was a row of one-man tall oak shields.
Aside from the fact that the arrows were thrown and could damage them when they fell, the frontal was almost invulnerable, and the dozen or so bed crossbows could hardly have a real impact on thousands of troops, and the rate of fire was too slow for a negligible effect.
The Xuzhou soldiers behind the oak shield carried the ladder and pushed forward unhurriedly.
Although the hundreds of archers at the head of the city never stopped, they did not really hurt a few Xuzhou soldiers.
It is worthy of being an elite soldier in Danyang, Shan Fu nodded secretly, even if the score is hostile, it is inevitable that this kind of admiration will be appreciated.
The sound of war drums became more and more urgent, and the pace of the Xuzhou soldiers became faster and faster.
All sorts of siege engines were also pushed to the front.
A sturdy ladder carried by several people around the huge chariot of cooked cowhide...... And more often than not, soldiers with weapons in hand ready to fight.
With the approach of the siege troops, the defenders of the city were also prepared one by one, and the Xuzhou army did not attack the four gates because of the underestimation of the defenders in the city, but created an opportunity for the defenders to defend the city.
In the face of the brave Xuzhou army, these elites who were born in Taishan thieves were not much inferior, and under the command of Shan Fu, they methodically threw down rolling stones, sasswood, and even fire oil torches......
The Xuzhou army's oak shield and ladder were turned into murder weapons for burning themselves after being sprinkled with fire oil......
Although the county seat of Qu County is not yet a strong city in the world, under the pre-effective arrangement and organization of Shan Fu, the defense lines overlap with each other and there is no omission.
The Xuzhou army finally began to suffer the first wave of heavy losses, often failing to assemble under the city before suffering devastating blows, unable to organize an effective offensive at all.
Nearly an hour has passed, and there is not a single soldier of the Xuzhou Army who has been able to climb the city wall of Quxian County alive.
Maybe it was because he saw that something could not be done, and the Xuzhou army withdrew its troops.
Just when the defenders felt that they could breathe a sigh of relief, another wave of siege troops rushed forward, Shan Fu guessed correctly, the Xuzhou army adopted a wheel war, and the purpose was ...... It may be that he wants to force the defenders of the city to escape, or he may just want to take the county seat in one go......
After three consecutive attacks, no one climbed the city, leaving only a corpse under the city, but the combat power of the soldiers on the city was also declining sharply, and even the number of arrows and rolling stones and logs dropped was decreasing.
"It turns out that the information is true...... There are not many people defending the city, in order to attract us desperately...... The main forces are in the rear, ready to launch a sneak attack on us! "Chen Deng combined the performance of the defenders in the city and the information obtained two days ago.
"That's probably the case...... The reason why the thieves of Mount Tai drove all the people of the county out of the city but did not kill them was to be able to defend the city with peace of mind, and there must be a plan behind them. Chen Deng thought and suddenly smiled gloomily.
"Since you're going to defend ...... Then I'll take you and try it! Chen Deng was also very relieved.
With the gradual strength of the Xuzhou army, someone finally went to the city, although it was quickly defeated, but it was still not good news for the defending side.
Waiting for the Xuzhou army to begin to ascend to the top of the city in large numbers, that is, the beginning of the defeat of the defending side!
"Strategist...... How's it going? Shan Fu was giving orders in the city tower, and Sun Guan suddenly appeared.
"I can withstand it now, let's go down and rest first!" Shan Fu still looked out of the city without raising his head.
"It's all at this juncture, where can I rest? It's been down for most of the day, why don't you replace it and let the defenders of the city eat two bites? Sun Guan said hurriedly.
