Chapter 141: in the Same Room (2)
On November 16th, at the end of the day, the east gate of Xiangyang - !
While Li Cheng, the king of Anling, and Li Shen, the king of Qin, were staring at each other in the southern city tower of Xiangyang, near the east gate of Xiangyang, Liu Qing, the military commander of the Zhou army, had already issued an attack order under the signal of the commander Xie An, and launched a fierce attack on this section of the city wall.
Because of the lack of siege equipment, although Liu Qing stepped up the production of two wells after killing the thunder with a strategy, it still seemed a bit of a drop in the bucket. The Zhou army, which had only ten wells in total, fell into a fierce battle the moment the war began.
"Get on the shelf!"
Standing on the well cart, which was almost not much lower than the Xiangyang city wall, Zhou general Liao Li roared loudly and commanded his subordinates to put down a huge wooden board with a giant toothed barb at the front end and put it on the Xiangyang City Tower, so as to ensure that the Zhou soldiers in the well cart could smoothly rush from the huge wooden board to the city head one after another.
What the hell is it? 丨
On the city tower, Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, squinted his eyes and frowned at the ten behemoths outside the city.
Beside him, a lieutenant general's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Is that ・・・・・・ a car?" ―How big is it? ”
Glancing at the lieutenant general, Huang Shou frowned and said nothing.
Yes, as a well car, Huang Shou also felt that Zhou Jun's well car was too huge, not an ordinary huge. What made him even more uneasy was that the huge wooden planks hanging from the roof of the wells were firmly nailed to the castle tower.
And behind the wooden plank, in the carriage of the well, there was a group of heavily armed and ready to go.
"Kill!"
With the Zhou general Liao Li yelling loudly, one after another Zhou soldiers poured out of the well car, stepped on the plank effortlessly, and attacked the city wall.
The proud city walls of Xiangyang City, which are more than eight zhang high, are so vulnerable in front of the Zhou soldiers.
"Hold the stronghold!"
Near another well car, the first thing Zhang Dong, a veteran of the Zhou army, did when he attacked the Xiangyang City Tower, was to create a stronghold belonging to the Zhou soldiers on the city wall. He did not rush to fight with the white water army on the city wall, but asked his Zhou soldiers to use their shields to block the enemy substitutes who attacked and killed, and after the Zhou soldiers attacked the city tower one after another, they delayed enough time.
Not only Liao Li and Zhang Dong, but the generals of the Zhou army on every well car used this tactic, so that in the blink of an eye, ten strongholds belonging to the Zhou soldiers appeared on the upper floor of Xiangyang Dongcheng, although this stronghold was quite difficult to maintain under the counterattack of the White Water Army, but it is undeniable that these strongholds were still firmly established after all.
Bad-! 丨
Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, felt a little uneasy in his heart, walked to the edge of the city wall in a few steps, and carefully looked at the nearest well car, only then did he find that the Zhou soldiers on the ground under the city were pouring up the city tower along the well car.
What kind of car is it?! 丨
Huang Shou scolded in his heart, after all, in his impression, the biggest function of this siege equipment is to be able to raise the position of his crossbowmen, so that the arrows or crossbows they shoot can effectively kill and injure the enemy troops on the city wall, and even suppress the enemy troops on the city wall and dare not raise their heads, and in this way, their own infantry can attack the city wall with the help of cloud ladders.
And the Zhou Jun's wells in front of him were clearly not known to him.
I remember that Fang Cai, he once laughed at Zhou Jun for being stupid, and even pushed such a fragile well cart directly to the front line, but now he understands that the stupid person is not Zhou Jun but him!
"Pour fire oil! -- Burn down the Zhou army's well! ”
Huang Shou roared, and as soon as the words fell, dozens of Baishui soldiers carried oil canisters and smashed them into the well car that Huang Shou pointed to.
Qi Hao, the chief general of the well carriage and the general of the Zhou army, frowned when he saw this, raised his arms and shouted, "Archers, suppress the white water army on the upper floor of the enemy army!" -- The soldiers in the back, hurry up to the city tower! ”
After shouting, Qi Hao frowned and glanced at Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, who was directing the battle on the city tower.
丨The reaction is really fast・・・・・・ seeing such a novel well car of our army, it can also be able to make the best counterattack without being surprised...... Tut! It's a pity that the weight of the well car improved by the eldest grandson military division is limited, otherwise the iron sheet will be nailed to the outside, and I will see how you attack with fire! 丨
Qi Hao scolded in his heart a little depressed, after all, the outside of the well car where he was already burning a raging fire, in order to ensure the lives of his soldiers, he could only order to prevent the Zhou soldiers under the city from continuing to enter, otherwise, once the well car was burned, all the soldiers in the car would become burial companions.
"Attack!"
With a loud shout, Qi Hao took the lead in killing the city tower, although he was a little unhappy, but at the moment, he could only be forced to give up the well car where he was.
Fortunately, there were already hundreds of Zhou soldiers who successfully attacked the city tower, so Qi Hao would not be overwhelmed by the tide of white water troops in an instant.
"Boom!"
The well car that Qi Hao was guarding finally collapsed in the raging fire.
Looking at the collapsed well car from a distance, Xie An sighed with regret and pity.
From the side, Liu Qing endured the shock in her heart and asked in a deep voice, "What is that ・・・・・・?" ”
"Haven't you seen many times back and forth in the camp?" Xie An said with a look of course on his face.
How can there be such a car?! 丨
Liu Qing almost scolded angrily, glaring at Xie An hatefully.
Seeing this, Xie An shook with tears and laughter! , ”
Is it a well-carved car improved by Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of the concubine? 丨
Liu Qing was slightly startled in her heart, and quietly listened to Xie An's statement, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became. Because she found that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had made great achievements in the improvement of siege equipment, with the help of her husband Xie An, this woman vetoed the siege equipment that was originally known to the world, and made further modifications and improvements.
Just like those well carts, the well-known carts known to the world are only used to allow their own crossbowmen to suppress the enemy crossbowmen who live in the siege tower during the siege, and generally speaking, they are not pushed to the front line, but the well cart improved by Changsun Xiangyu is not so much a well cart as a passage that can continuously transport troops on the ground to the enemy's occupied tower.
"The spiral principle, you can understand that, right?" Xie An gestured to explain to Liu Qing.
Liu Qing looked at Xie An expressionlessly, she didn't want to admit that she was inferior to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but it was undeniable that what Xie An said sounded like a book from heaven to her.
"It's ・・・・・・ it's a spiral of stairs...... What about the explanation for this design to minimize the amount of space required for the interior・・・・・・ Xie An looked at Liu Qing's expression with some humility, after all, if he annoyed the smart little woman in front of him because of this kind of thing, he would feel extremely depressed.
"Rotate the stairs to climb upwards?" Liu Qing frowned and pondered, after Xie An's repeated explanations, she finally roughly understood the principle that Xie An said.
How do guys・・・・・・ know so many things? Company commander Sun Xiangyu, is that woman the same as a student in front of him? 丨
Still maintaining an angry expression, Liu Qing secretly looked at Xie An.
I remember that after hearing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had learned a lot of so-called things in his husband Xie Ankou, Liu Qing really felt extra surprised. After all, in her opinion, although she didn't want to admit it, Changsun Xiangyu was the smartest and most understanding woman she had ever seen, although she Liu Qing kept saying that she wanted to surpass Changsun Xiangyu, but the longer she spent with Zhou Bing, her self-confidence was dying out little by little.
Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of the concubine, is a terrible woman who is enough to destroy a country with her talents!
Liu Qing thinks so.
But even such a woman, in front of her husband Jun Xie An, does she need to listen to the teaching obediently like a student?
"How do you ・・・・・・ know so many things? -- It's like the windmill used to snipe the thunder yesterday・・・・・・" Liu Qing looked at Xie An intently.
"This ・・・・・・" smiled, Xie An couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure, because Liu Qing in front of her really looked like the eldest grandson Xiangyu who ran to him twice in three days.
Is it true that the best way to seduce a conceited woman is novel knowledge? Cough! ―It's still Xiao Wu's good.,Never ask East and West.,Sister Jin and Yiyi won't ask more... I guess they're not interested・・・・・・ hmm... Only Xiangyu and Liu Qing are ・・・・・・ girls
"Read more, read more! ―The book has its own truth, right? Xie An coaxed with a sneering face, knowing that he already had a second-room lady who was eager to know all the knowledge in his heart, Sun Xiangyu, and he really couldn't afford to deal with one more. What's even worse is that the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing are the most intelligent existences among women, and they can be called demons.
“… ・・・" Liu Qing squinted at Xie An, with her intelligence, how could she not see that Xie An was perfunctory to her?
Hum! For the sake of the battlefield, I won't worry about you for the time being! 丨
"Teach me afterwards!" Coldly dropping a sentence, Liu Qing once again turned his attention to the battlefield.
Xie An smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to the truth, he really didn't want to teach students like Xiang Eldest Sun Xiangyu and Liu Qing who were so smart that they could be called demons, because then they didn't have the slightest sense of superiority as a teacher. Often he can remember and comprehend the eldest grandson Xiangyu once he says it, and even understand more things by inference, what is the superiority of such a student?
Sure enough, it's better for students to be stupid, such as Xiao Wu...... Cough! No, no, no! 丨
"I don't know how the war situation is in the south......" Xie An'an muttered humbly, and changed the topic to himself, because he suddenly remembered that Liang Qiuwu's intuition was even more incredible than the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing.
"Fifth Master, don't be counterattacked by Li Shen, the king of Qin・・・・・・"
―At the same time, the south gate of Xiangyang――
"Ahh Under the surprised gaze of his cousin Li Yan, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, sneezed fiercely.
"Got a cold?" Li Yan glanced at Li Cheng suspiciously.
"I don't know・・・・・・" The fifth master shook his head and laughed at himself, "Maybe someone is scolding me behind my back!" There are so many people in this world who hate me! ”
"Hey!" Li Yan chuckled, then turned his head to look at the city wall of the south gate of Xiangyang, and muttered, "Is that Zhou general named Qi Zhi really just a deputy general?" According to Brother Wei, this person has both humanities and martial arts, and he is a great general! ”
"I know this person!" Nodding, Li Cheng said in a low voice, "Qi Zhiyuan is the Yuheng Divine General of the Six Divine Generals of the Taiping Army, and he is a talent at the level of a general or even a general or above, but he has a short time to surrender to me, so Xie An does not dare to reuse it easily・・・・・・ of course, it may also be to avoid gossip, after all, the military positions of the Jizhou Army and the Great Liang Army are all fought by the generals with a knife and a gun, and if you rashly promote a certain general, there will be bad rumors."
"I see!" Li Yan was moved when he heard this, although he knew what the six generals of the Taiping Army were, but at least he could understand that it must be a very high-level general in the army. In this way, it is easy to explain why Na Qizhi is only a deputy general, but his main general, Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, entrusted him with the command of his corporaries.
By the way, in fact, Li Yan was really a little puzzled about this matter before.
I remember that when Li Yan seconded the generals to Xie An a while ago, he hoped to secondment a general, such as Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Liang Cheng, after all, although Li Yan and Li Cheng also have a unique side in commanding the troops, it is always inconvenient for him and Li Cheng to go to the battlefield to command, especially Li Cheng, in case he is shot by a stray arrow, he will die with a grudge before he slashes Li Shen, the king of Qin, what should I do?
However, Xie An allocated several generals such as Wang Huai, Cheng Yang and Qi Zhi to his Great Liang Army.
It is undeniable that Wang Huai and Cheng Yang are both generals of the Great Liang Army, especially Wang Huai, who is the deputy marshal of the First Army, but in Li Yan's opinion, there is still a big gap between the two of them compared to Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong and others of the Jizhou Army, and they are not up to the standard of handsome talent in Li Yan's heart.
It wasn't until now that Li Yan understood that the handsome person Xie An was alluding to was Qi Zhi, not Wang Huai or Cheng Yang.
But in comparison...... 丨
With a pang in his heart, Li Yan stared intently at the top of the city tower, only to see that on the city tower, one by one lightly armored soldiers with sharp blades were mixed among the heavily armored Zhou soldiers, and their methods were extremely sharp to harvest the lives of one Baishui soldier after another.
Especially the first person, Li Yan's heart was even more frightened, I saw that this person was also dressed as an ordinary soldier, but the blade used was a sickle connected to an extremely long and thin iron chain, and what was even more penetrating was that both the sickle and the iron chain were covered with extremely small and thin barbs, and often with a pull, more than ten Baishui soldiers were strangled in wailing and screaming.
It's so strong・・・・・・ is there such a fierce man under the command of Master Xie? The Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, the "sickle" flies...... 丨
Rao is Li Yan felt that his heart was very good, and he was also shocked by Mo Fei's sharp killing methods, and even more, as far as he knew, he couldn't show the true strength of that murderer during the day.
Suddenly, Li Yan's heart trembled, because he found that a hundred zhang away, the Dongling murderous ghosts who were killing all directions on the city tower actually seemed to notice his eyes and glanced back at him Li Yan.
The moment of "・・・・・・ Huh", the fear of being targeted by a vicious beast made Li Yan's forehead ooze a layer of sweat.
And at this moment, I heard Li Cheng smile and say, "Cousin misunderstood, the person Mo Fei looked at is me!" As he spoke, Li Cheng raised his head lightly and smiled at Mo Fei in the distance above the city tower.
"Humph!" Perhaps noticing Li Cheng's smile, Mo Fei on the top of the city tower snorted coldly, stabbed to death a Baishui sergeant who attacked him with a dagger with his left hand and backhand, ignoring the good-natured smile of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, and slaughtered on the city tower.
On the contrary, not far from Mo Fei's side, Gou Gong, who is also the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, took a few glances at Li Cheng, the former lord, but it could be seen that Gou Gong did not have a good impression of the latter, even if Li Cheng now seemed to have changed his past.
It's no wonder, after all, in order to protect himself, Li Cheng betrayed the Dongling people and made them run headlong into the trap that Xie An had already set up. If it weren't for Xie An's talent in cherishing the Dongling people at that time, I am afraid that there would have only been four Assassin Lodges left on the Great Friday.
"The fifth son of the emperor, Li Cheng・・・・・・" swayed the delicate small golden fan given by Xie An, and Gou Gong looked coldly at Li Cheng, the king of Anling under the city. To put it mildly, if it weren't for Xie An's efforts to stop it, it would be a question whether Li Cheng, the king of Anling, could enter and leave the Zhou camp alive, after all, because of Li Cheng's relationship back then, the Dongling people lost a large number of good players, and what made Gou Gong even more unacceptable was that that guy finally betrayed them all in order to protect himself.
Who said that only the third son of the emperor, Li Shen, was doing things to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Thinking of what happened back then, Gou Gong couldn't wait to sprinkle a handful of poisonous powder and let Li Cheng taste what life is better than death.
At this moment, only two voices were heard, and two Dongling assassins wearing light armor of Zhou soldiers appeared beside Gou Gong and whispered, "Boss, my brother has been able to control the city gate, but it is estimated that it will not be long before ......."
"Hmm!" Gou Gong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Open the city gate and let that guy Li Cheng in!" ―In this case, the work that the adults told us to wait for is done! ”
"Yes!" The two Assassin Jaw Leaders commanded, and in the astonished exclamations of some of the surrounding Zhou soldiers, they turned over lightly, and with the help of ropes, they actually reached the city in the blink of an eye.
"Boom—"
With a roar, the south gate of Xiangyang City was quietly opened by the Dongling people when the Zhou soldiers on the city tower had not yet suppressed the White Water Army, which caused many White Water Army generals to scold angrily.
"It is worthy of the ・・・・・・ of Dongling" Seeing the slowly opening city gate, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, showed a somewhat knowing smile on his face, then took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice, "Brothers of Long Nuwei, and help the younger brother again!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Cheng shook his cloak and took the lead towards Xiangyang City, behind him, there were more than 4,000 Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave guards who were also wearing ink dragon cloaks.
Maybe Li Cheng didn't notice that in the attic of the East Gate of Xiangyang, Li Shenzheng, the king of Qin, was looking at him coldly, and the corners of his mouth raised a little cold smile.
