"The general has an order, ordering the two generals to capture the city and the interior first!" Xu Sheng hurried his horse and whipped, hurriedly and slowly, and finally caught up with Song Qian and Ding Feng's foot soldiers, and read out Dai Gang's order, as for the cavalry led by Huang Zhong, they would never go to the city.

"Whoa!" Ding Feng took the order one step ahead and yelled at the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, turn to attack the granaries and arsenals!" ”

"Roar!"

Generally speaking, the ancient county office and the state minister's office are a little north of the city center, if the level is high enough (prince) is also allowed to build the inner city, then the warehouse and arsenal are all in the inner city. And Shouchun, as the city where Yuan Shu was the emperor in the past, was precisely the city with an inner city, so Dai Gang's decision was not wrong, because Zhu Ling was not on the city tower at all at this time, but saw that the situation was not good, but retreated to the inner city with nine hundred henchmen.

Flutter!! A rain of arrows disrupted the march of the Wu army, and Song Qian looked up just in time to see a dozen Wei soldiers shooting arrows down the walls of the inner city. The inner city of Shouchun was built not long ago, and Yuan Shu only meant it back then, and did not build the inner city to be the same as the inner city of Chang'an and Luoyang, but only built a low wall, which was not much better than the city wall of ordinary Xia County. (The inner city of the Han Dynasty was equivalent to the palace city)

"It turns out that the old boy has come to the inner city!" Song Qian raised his halberd to block a few stray arrows, and said to Ding Feng: "I really can't imagine that there is an inner city in this Shouchun City!" Jianye is still newly renovated. ”

"This Shouchun used to be the place where Yuan Shu was the emperor, of course there will be an inner city, but its scale should be very small! That's the problem! Ding Feng looked up and smiled bitterly.

"Why is it so small and troublesome?" Song Qian asked puzzled.

Ding Feng also simply said directly: "Brother, there are so many soldiers loyal to Zhu Ling in this Shouchun inner city, the bigger the city, the more difficult it is for the Wei army to defend, but the smaller the scale, the smaller the hole in the city's defense." ”

"I see, my brother is in charge of him, and a certain family doesn't believe that he can't take the city in the district, and the little ones will open the door for me." Song Qian raised his halberd and roared.

At one time, there were countless Wu soldiers, holding a shield in one hand and a giant tree in the other, and rushed to the gate of the inner city. Not only were the inner cities dwarfed, but they were also not as well-defended as the inner cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, and most importantly, they had no moats.

The most feared thing in the siege is the moat, moat, and horse, because whether it is to fill the river or open the road, it takes two hands, but the rain of arrows on the defending side does not recognize people, so no one dares to use two hands. And if you have a shield in your hand, the speed will be twice as slow, and the number of casualties will not be less under the blow of the rain of arrows. But as long as they rush to the bottom of the city tower, the enemy's bow and arrow will lose their effect, and can only be shot by the crossbow machine, as for the gold water, boiling oil, rolling wood, Lei Shi or something, not every city is equipped, and even if it is equipped, but the rushing car and well fence of the besieging side of the city are not vegetarian.

And the inner city in front of them, there is no moat, no arrow tower, no rolling wood, gold water, and finally the arrow is far from reaching the point of rain, there is no match, Wu soldiers are relieved to boldly hold the wood in one hand and carry the shield in the other, and they began to hit the door.

"Cheng Yuan, how high do you see this city wall?" Song Qian asked his horse to move to a safe place, and he killed it with a Miao knife and an iron shield.

And the Ding Feng he asked about was almost the same phenomenon, but he was holding a sword, which was not yet unsheathed, holding the shield in both hands, observing and directing. "Visually speaking, it can't be seen as long as eight feet long (about four meters long, which is really short enough)."

"Well, Cheng Yuan, you look at this, you are here to supervise the battle, and I will take my personal guards to attack from the city wall." Seeing that this city gate could not be opened, Song Qian had to think of other methods, and blamed Dai Gang for thinking too complicated, the siege equipment built by the Wu army, even if it is a ladder, is also a high-level kind, Wu Jun's ladder is the kind with wheels under it, which can be pushed and driven, so it is also called "ladder car", equipped with anti-shield, winch, grappling hook and other equipment, but also with the equipment of lifting with pulleys. But because it's too advanced, this ladder cart can't be pushed from the hole in the city gate, if you change to that kind of simple version of the ladder, you can carry it in flat, how can you still use such effort.

"Okay, Old Song, I'm here to press for you. Crossbowmen, suppress the city! ”

Song Qian and the others did not have a ladder, so they could use some flying hooks that they carried with them, which were shaped like anchors, with four sharp hooks, tied with iron chains, and then continued with ropes. When climbing this kind of low city, you can easily hook the female wall of the city by throwing the hook at the top of the city, and climb it with the help of ropes.

Among the Wu army, the best use of the flying hook is Gan Ning's Jinfan Army and Fei Mu's Yue Protector Army and He Qi's troops, the latter two are the first elite of mountain warfare in the Han Dynasty, Fei Mu's subordinates are all Yue people, and He Qi has been in the army so far, specializing in fighting the Yue people and winning all battles. As for Gan Ning, it is because the Jinfan Army under his command has not forgotten the tradition of the original water thieves from generation to generation, and the Jinfan Army once relied on this surprise attack to win Ping'an and complete the siege of Zang Ba.

In addition to their own clans and fellow villagers, there are also some athletes, the so-called athletes are similar to vagrants with certain special skills, Jiangdong Danyang produces elite soldiers, and although the generals of Eastern Wu cannot command pure Danyang elite soldiers, it is still no problem to recruit some into their own personal guard songs. And the Danyang soldiers are also good at climbing mountains, and it is much easier to climb the city with a flying hook than it is to climb the mountain wall with a flying hook during their training.

"Kill!" The four-meter city wall has no feeling at all for these mountain climbers, as long as the Wei army on the city is suppressed, the guards only need ten breaths to kill it, and even Song Qian, a layman, has killed the city wall with excellent strength and control.

Half an hour later.

Shouchun City was in a mess, but fortunately, there was no arson or looting by the chaotic army, which was still helpful for the Wu army to receive Shouchun. Dai Gang, surrounded by Lu You and Liu Xun, slowly entered the city, and after getting up, he was followed by three thousand Xiaoguo troops, full of grandeur Compared to his brother-in-law's prudence now, no matter how he looks at it, he is full of spirit, how similar to that Qiao Ren seven or eight years ago.

The corpses and bloodstains in a place have begun to be cleaned and sorted out by the auxiliaries (most of them are county soldiers in Huainan), Dai Gang looked at the busy soldiers with an expressionless face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. A general like this, who is accustomed to seeing life and death, will naturally not be moved by the dead, and only Qiao Ren will recite the Taiyi Salvation Sutra for the soldiers who died in battle after the war.

"General Hou." Xu Sheng rode over on a horse with a smile on his face, and whispered in Dai Gang's ear: "There are only five hundred Huainan soldiers left in Chengtou Mountain, and I asked the people who started the incident, and their chief Zhao Xun, Wang Xi (Wang Gongzi) and others were all killed by the Wei army who was on the verge of death, and most of the five hundred Huainan soldiers left behind were people who did not know the situation. ”

"Good! The province of Ben will be troublesome. Dai Gang stroked his palms and smiled, "What about the situation with the warehouse and the arsenal?" There are fifty-five stones of grain and grass and countless ordnance hoarded in Shouchun City! ”

"There is an inner city in Shouchun City, Zhu Ling led the remnants to defend it to the death, and the two generals Ding and Song are attacking, I think it won't be long before there will be news!"

"General Hou!" While speaking, the general Ding Feng hit the horse and killed, obviously the inner city has been taken.

"Look, I said I don't have to wait too long!" Xu Sheng and Dai Gang have known each other for a long time, as early as when Qiao Ren was still a general of the Protector Army, the two of them were both two captains under Qiao Ren, although Dai Gang is now a general, but Xu Sheng was not bad from being promoted from a partial general to a Weibei general, so the two of them should talk more casually.

"How's it going?"

"After returning to the general, the enemy in the inner city was cleared, but Zhu Ling set fire to the warehouse at the end, although our army rescued in time, but the grain and grass were still destroyed and he himself was burned to death. However, there is a lot of harvest in the arsenal, I have probably counted 3,000 ring-headed knives, more than 5,000 piercing armor and fish scale armor, and the most are bows and crossbows and arrows. It can be seen that Ding Feng is very happy, even if only 400,000 grains are burned to the ground, it is enough for his Huainan army to eat for a year, and so much armor is enough to complete Huainan's dress change plan - ordinary soldiers wear armor, even commanders above the military level wear fish scale armor, generals above the military level are equipped with Mingguang armor, and the elite Xiaoguo army is of course all Mingguang armor.

You can imagine what kind of military appearance the Huainan Wu Army is after the redress, which is almost inferior to the Eighth Colonel of the Northern Army and Yulin and Qimen Erlang Army when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, compared with the Wei and Han soldiers who can only wear leather armor in ordinary soldiers, the improvement of defense in the battle may be able to affect a battle.
