After handing over the 20,000 troops to Lu Xun, Qiao Ren began to keep an eye on the battle situation in Jiangling. After all, there were very few soldiers and horses in Gangneung City at this time, and there were almost no generals. However, even if it is so difficult, there are more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in Jiangling City, but among them, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's surrendered troops account for more than 6,000, Qiao Ren can't believe that these surrendered troops also dare not believe Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, so in addition to leaving 3,000 Chinese troops in Jiangling as a garrison, he also transferred 2,000 soldiers from the public security Liu Pan to Liu Xun to take over, so that the number of troops in Jiangling City can maintain a relative balance.

But when it comes to combat effectiveness, compared with those surrendering troops who have no fighting heart and are scattered, the temporary Chinese army composed of Qiao Ren's personal guard, the middle base battalion, and the Tiger Wing Army, the most elite troops in Eastern Wu, has high morale, sophisticated equipment, and skilled martial arts, which make those surrendering troops tremble when they look at it.

"Governor, report urgently. General Zhu Ran's urgent report from Xiangyang! Zhuge Ke, the youngest member of the army, rushed into Qiao Ren's study in shock.

"Ahem! It's the general, Zhuge Gongzi! Jia Hua on the side kindly reminded.

"Oh!" Zhuge Ke didn't hear it, and stood there straight and panting. "Xiangyang urgent report, when the king of Wei returned to Yecheng, he left Xu Huang and Pang De to assist Cao Ren in attacking Shangyong, Cao Ren captured Fangling in the middle of last month, Shangyong was too guarded by Meng Da to surrender to the enemy, Liu Bei's eldest son Liu Feng was caught off guard by Pang De on the way to retreat, and Shangyong had all fallen into the hands of Cao Ren."

"Good calculation! I am afraid that the world knows about the secret meeting between Gu and the King of Wei, and everyone in the world will think that the Wu-Wei Alliance, and this confused account Liu Bei will also be counted on us. "Qiao Ren's affairs have been really busy recently, and he has to look at Lu Xun and Lu Meng's military situation, and Bai Yueli is too tired to do it.

"Jun Hou, this news can't be hidden from Liu Bei, I'm afraid that Liu Bei is going to be ruthless." Jiang Ji put down the book in his hand and said softly.

"Fuck, did Liu Bei take the wrong medicine? Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the city has been attacked for two days. Ling Ying looked at the waves on the ground and the dried blood stains all over the city, and said viciously.

"Forget it, his son is dead, forgive me!" Lu Meng smiled evilly and said: "There has been no progress in attacking for two consecutive days, I believe that Liu Bei can't hold his breath, there will be a big battle today." ”

It seemed to confirm Lu Meng's prophecy, and there was a roar in the west, and the fiery red robes and battle flags of the Han army reflected the sky red. It was past noon, and Liu Bei really personally supervised the formation, wearing a golden-red armor armor and holding a double-strand sword, and came to the front of the formation. Behind him, the 40,000 army sheng flags covered the sky, and all kinds of ge, spears, and ring-headed knives reflected a bright metallic luster in the morning sun. Officers at the rank of lieutenant and above all have their own battle flags, and the Han army has dozens of battle flags, which are obviously elite, but there are only a few Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Wu Ban who are famous in the United States.

Outside the city, the generals of the Han army organized the soldiers to push the cart and keep walking towards the city gate, the cart is a kind of large siege tower wearing armor, which can not only be used to hit the city gate from below but also directly to the city ** from the car, and can also be used to approach the city wall, destroy the female wall (battlement wall), and directly attack the defenders on the city wall. Of course, there are also those who carry simple siege equipment ---- ladders. There are many ways to frame the ladder, which can be put on the shelf directly from outside the city, or it can be erected from the wall with soil as a wall.

Of course, the simplest and crudest method used by the Han army today. Countless soldiers carried ladders in one hand and shields in the other, and behind them there were crossbowmen with shields in one hand and crossbows in the other, and finally the stormtroopers with ring-headed knives. When the besieging troops came within a meter of the enemy's range, the captain shouted, "Raise your shield." With a bang, all the soldiers raised their wooden shields, and half a minute after raising their shields, arrows rained down from the upper floors. Immediately, many soldiers who had not raised their shields were shot to the ground, and then they were unable to move due to their injuries, and were shot into hedgehogs by arrows.

"The troops marched quickly, rushed the car and returned fire." Today, it is said that it is Wu Ban, Liu Bei's only a few slightly capable generals and Fu Wei who lead the charge. It was Wu Ban who gave the order, the Han army was close to the moat, and if you wanted to fill the moat, you had to suppress the firepower of the city head, and if you wanted to do this, you had to return fire at the crossbowmen on the cart.

With Wu Ban's order, the wooden board that originally protected the crossbowmen was opened at once, and the bows and crossbows inside had been on standby for a long time, ready to return fire immediately after the wooden planks were opened.

In addition to rushing the vehicles, the Han army also prepared a kind of mobile siege tower ---- well railing. The well fence is a large-scale siege equipment commonly used on the ancient battlefield, which is generally composed of strong wood, and is 4 meters to 8 meters or even more than 10 meters high. Quadrangular column type with wheels underneath to push. During the siege, soldiers stand on top of the well fence and inflict damage and threat to the defending soldiers with ranged weapons such as bows and arrows. To some extent, it is said that the attack of the cloud ladder has been strengthened, and the well fence in front of him is more than eight meters high, which is a little higher than the seven-meter-high Yiling city wall, and the crossbowmen of the Han army can take advantage of the condescending height to attack the city wall.

"Just these few hands, I still want to attack the city!" Wei Yan said disdainfully: "General Che Cai, the last general took the cavalry out to destroy his chariot and well fence. ”

"No need, it's not necessary to use General Wei for the wells and the car." Lu Meng behaved very calmly, and at this time, this calmness made Wei Yan admire him very much, and he was full of confidence in the face of danger, coupled with his good ability, which was enough for Wei Yan to admire.

Looking at the well railing that couldn't shoot on the city tower, Wei Yan asked, "I don't know what the general can prepare for the siege equipment of the Han army." “

"Shoot!" Lu Meng said with a smile.

"Shoot?"

"The general's ballista has not been used by my Jingzhou army once, so this time I should show my face." Lu Meng suddenly raised his left hand, and the guards on the left and right were signaled, and they beat the war drum three times.

"Roar!!" The soldiers at the foot of the city shouted and pushed dozens of ballistae up, and the soldiers skillfully worked hard to place the ballistas in the most suitable position, and then the Han army pushed the carts and well railings to a place where they could attack the city.

"Shoot!"

Boom! A huge wooden spear sharpened from a log in the ballista under the strong thrust, hit the waist of the well railing, yes, the waist, if you shoot the soldiers on the well railing, the ballista needs to shoot back, the ballista is difficult to shoot back, so shooting the waist is a better choice.

Touch! The effect was far beyond expectations, countless huge wooden spears crashed into the well railing, although the impact force generated could not make the well fence collapse, but it shook off several Han army archers on the side, and everyone on the well fence was in danger for a while.

The ballistas were successful, and the Wu generals in the city smiled even more. The field battle may be a little worse than the Wu army, but they are professional in defending the city, and maybe the siege is also. With the blessing of the ballista, the range of the Wu army has greatly increased. On the other hand, although the Han army was equipped with the Zhuge crossbow in advance, the continuation of the firepower and the covering arrow rain have been greatly strengthened, but the technology of the Zhuge crossbow is not perfect, although it can shoot ten arrows in a row but loses the range, compared with the ordinary crossbow machine, the Zhuge crossbow is not superior in range, not to mention the comparison with the king crossbow in the distance!

This is also due to the fact that Yiling is a newly occupied city, and there is no bed crossbow on the city, even the ballista is equipped. However, the Han army has never fought with the Wu army, let alone the siege of the city, the first two said that the Han army was not murderous and the Wu army did not use these things. With this blow, the Han army was dumbfounded, only beaten but unable to beat others, and had never encountered such a siege battle.
