Chapter 174: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
The sun is shining, the earth is dry, and the rivers are dry!
Chen Sheng patrolled back and forth on the city wall from time to time, Chen Sheng's whole person was already full of irritability, and he looked at the bandits outside the city, with a look of anger on his face.
It's been three whole days, except for the day they came, the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain launched an attack, and after that, it was like turning into a turtle, shrinking into the camp and not coming out.
On the first day, because the bandits took the officers and soldiers by surprise, and in the absence of the supreme commander, their casualties were very large, although they only fought for less than an hour, but the losses of the officers and soldiers reached 1,500 people!
And the thieves only have a few hundred losses, which makes Chen Shengqing embarrassed!
So, Chen Sheng, Zhang Hu held his breath and wanted to teach these bandits a good lesson, but these bandits seemed to have died down, but they didn't let the people in the city go out, and they didn't let the people outside come in, but they just didn't attack the city!
To put it simply, their Xiangyang City was besieged by thousands of bandits! It's both incredible and expected.
A Qu Chang who accompanied Chen Sheng said: "My lord, you see that this day is also hot, the bandits should not attack the city, do you want to go to the city tower to rest." ”
Chen Sheng waved his hand and said, "No, it's important." ”
Qu Chang immediately said: "No, adults are still worried about the people, but they are a model for our generation." ”
Chen Sheng scolded with a smile: "Okay, it's just that you have a poor mouth." ”
Qu Chang said with a smile: "My lord, I didn't talk nonsense. ”
At this moment, the bandit camp that had not moved finally moved, only to see batches of bandits walking out, Chen Sheng fixed his eyes and was startled, it turned out that in addition to the siege ladder, these bandits also built a siege tower!
Chen Sheng immediately roared bitterly: "Alert, all vigilant." ”
When, when, when, the mighty bell rang.
The entire Xiangyang City immediately became serious, Chen Sheng stared at the siege tower, and muttered: "I said why these people have been silent, it turns out that they are doing this." ”
Chen Sheng asked in a deep voice, "Is the strong crossbow in the city ready?" ”
Qu Chang said solemnly: "My lord, I have already driven it, as long as these bandits dare to attack, Lao Tzu wants them to walk around without eating." ”
Chen Sheng said: "That's good. ”
Qu Chang sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, this strong crossbow only has a total of fifty crossbows, and the other four city walls have to be garrisoned, so we only have twenty strong crossbows here." ”
Chen Sheng also sighed: "Yes, if we have a hundred strong crossbows, I want to see how these bandits attack the city?" ”
"However, although these powerful crossbows are amazingly powerful, their speed is still too slow."
Qu Chang also said: "Yes, even the most skilled crossbowman will take a cup of tea to complete a shot." Not to mention the newbies! ”
Chen Sheng said loudly: "Okay, let's not talk about it, how is the trebuchet prepared?" ”
Qu Chang said embarrassedly: "My lord, those trebuchets have been almost damaged due to a long period of disrepair. ”
Chen Sheng frowned and asked, "I'm asking how many of those trebuchets are still usable?" ”
Qu Chang said embarrassedly: "There is no one." ”
Qu Chang looked outside and said, "My lord, look, those bandits are ready to move." ”
In front of the bandits' camp, Jia Xu stood on an open carriage and said to Pei Yuanshao: "Your injury is not healed yet, let Luocheng go!" ”
Pei Yuanshao said with a smile: "Strategist, don't worry, this little injury is nothing, I am saying, we are not going to beat them now, we just let them waste their energy." ”
Jia Xu stared at Pei Yuanshao for a long time, and said, "Okay, remember, your task is to go around the entire Xiangyang City twice, you know?" ”
Pei Yuanshao said loudly: "No, my subordinates understand. ”
After speaking, Pei Yuanshao turned his head and shouted at the soldiers of the first battalion: "Brothers, let's go now." ”
After saying that, the entire large army was divided into two teams.
One team stood still, and the other team demonstrated around Xiangyang City.
Chen Sheng looked at the bandits outside the city and said, "What are they doing here?" ”
Qu Chang was also confused, and said, "They don't think that they dare to attack with a force of only a thousand people!" ”
Chen Sheng said in a deep voice: "No matter what, order, the whole city will strengthen vigilance." ”
Qu Chang responded: "No, my lord." ”
In this way, Pei Yuanshao walked around Xiangyang City twice, but Pei Yuanshao walked very slowly, very slowly, almost comparable to the speed of a turtle!
During this period, Pei Yuanshao also pretended to attack twice, both of which were in moderation, but this frightened the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and they actually used strong crossbows early, but unfortunately, these strong crossbows did not cause even a little damage to the first team.
However, that's it, it also scared Pei Yuanshao, they actually have a strong crossbow!
When Jia Xu heard that the officers and soldiers had strong crossbows, the whole person was much gloomy, and he pondered for a while and said: "It's too late, our goal has been achieved, let's go to the camp now." ”
The herald immediately shouted, "No." ”
Chen Sheng looked at the bandits who suddenly entered, not knowing what they were going to do? It took two or three hours to go around and then retreated, which one is this performance?
Forget it, I don't want to do so much, as long as they retreat, it's a good thing.
Qingfeng Mountain camp, inside the handsome tent.
The atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
Jia Xu said: "I didn't expect that Xiangyang City actually had such a sharp weapon as a crossbow. ”
Pei Yuanshao frowned and asked, "Strategist, tell me, what should we do now?" ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "This strong crossbow is a scourge, but you don't have to pay too much attention to it, the power of the strong crossbow is very great, but the shortcomings are still obvious, that is, they are bulky, and the rate of fire is very slow, so they are not very harmful to us, but their deterrence ability is relatively high!" ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "However, we don't know how many strong crossbows there are in Xiangyang City, if they have a few hundred strong crossbows, then we will attack a fart." ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, Commander Pei, don't worry too much about this, there won't be too many crossbows in Xiangyang City, and sixty cars will reach the sky." ”
"In other words, we don't have to pay too much attention to it, and if we want to deal with the strong crossbow, we just need to do two things."
Pei Yuanshao immediately asked: "Military Division, what are the two points?" ”
Jia Xu said solemnly: "Our troops must be scattered, this is one of them. We need to be fast, and that's the second thing. ”
Jia Xu continued: "As long as you do these two things, the strong crossbow is a paper tiger, and it is not terrible at all!" ”
"Okay, the young master is coming tomorrow, let's send a gift to the young master tonight." Jia Xu said with a smile.
