Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Battle of Hewu (2)

At this time, Huangfu Song suddenly had an extremely strange feeling, that is, Dong Min, who he once knew, seemed to have become smarter.

Of course, this feeling is just a flash, Huangfu Song has fought countless vicious battles in his life, how can he be bothered by the small defeat in front of him, this qiē in front of him is just an appetizer for him, and the show has just begun.

Seeing that Dong Min commanded the catapult to knock out his own well fence, Huangfu Song immediately counterattacked, and commanded his officers and soldiers to slowly push out the catapult in his army, and after entering a suitable range, he began to fix it. At the same time, the lieutenant general was ordered to cover the assembly of the catapult.

Huangfu Song commanded the soldiers to fight, which was nothing to say, and the technology was very good. Under his skilful command, the whole army operated efficiently, and with minimal losses, a dozen catapults were assembled.

In terms of the number of catapults, Huangfu Song is slightly better than Dong Min.

Dong Min had the advantage of being condescending, and the range of his catapult was slightly farther than that of Huangfu Song.

The two sides each commanded the catapults to attack each other for a while, and each suffered losses, which can be said to be a defeat for both sides, Dong Min's catapults were all disabled, and the price paid by Huangfu Song was that he only had two catapults left, which gave full play to the advantage of firepower, and the stone bullets were almost consumed.

Siege warfare, usually not a day will have any results, usually takes a long time, Huangfu Song did not think that he would be able to capture the city immediately, seeing that Dong Min no longer had a catapult to pose a huge threat to his own soldiers and horses, so he put away the remaining few catapults, and left them for use when the siege was most intense in the future.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Song commanded the soldiers to carry the siege ladder and rushed to the city again.

As the number of siegers increased, some of Dong Min's arrangements outside the city gradually showed their power.

I saw that many soldiers in Huangfu Song's army fell into the trap that Dong Min had set before.

Generally, the more common traps outside the city are horse traps, staghorn wood, iron thorn vines, etc.

The trap is to dig a big pit in the open field, and then arrange some bamboo spears, wooden thorns and other damage objects in the pit, once the knight falls into the trap pit, he will be directly penetrated by the bamboo spear and wooden thorns inside.

Antler wood is made of antler-shaped solid wood sawn, several feet long, buried in the ground, more than a foot deep. During the battle, staghorn trees are planted all over the place, which can block the horse's feet and prevent the enemy from advancing.

Iron thorn vine is some iron nails, this thing is the most insidious, once stabbed, the mobility will be affected by it, and because the ancient medical conditions are extremely limited, the iron nails have rust, once into the human body, the wound is infected, it is very easy to become tetanus, once it becomes tetanus, it is not far from death.

At the beginning of the battle, the number of participants in the battle was limited and the ground space occupied was small, so many traps were not triggered, and as the number of siege people increased, the traps were triggered more and more, and the screams of people falling into the traps were heard from time to time on the battlefield.

As the fighting progressed, more and more casualties were lost on both sides, and the fighting became more and more intense.

At this time, Huangfu Song saw that his army had not opened the situation, so he personally boarded the nest car to observe the enemy's situation and see what flaws were in the enemy's army.

Dong Min saw that there was a person who looked like a general in the opponent's army entering the nest car, and thought that it might be Huangfu Song, so he ordered: "Immediately mobilize the big yellow crossbow in the army to cover the flying nest car in the opponent's army, and it is very likely that the person who boarded the nest car is the enemy's main general Huangfu Song, if Huangfu Song is shot to death on the spot, we will win immediately, pass my order, whoever shoots Huangfu Song will be promoted to two levels and a reward of ten gold, and those who shoot Huang Fu Song will be promoted to three levels, and the marquis will be rewarded with a hundred gold." ”

There will be brave men under the great reward.

After the soldiers under Dong Min's command heard Dong Min's heavy reward, they all screamed.

I only heard a wave of crossbow arrows swishing past.

Huangfu Song, who was watching from the nest car, saw the other party's crossbow arrows shooting, and immediately found a dead corner to hide.

This is also Huangfu Song's rich experience and quick reaction, if it was rested on ordinary people, he would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.

Seeing this, Huangfu Song's subordinate son Huang Fu Li shouted: "Uncle be careful, the other party still has a strong crossbow!" ”

The big yellow crossbow in Dong Min's hand was allocated to him by Dong Shouye, and it was used to defend the city. Dong Min originally wanted to use it at the critical moment of the battle, but who would have thought that Huang Fu Song would personally board the nest car to observe the enemy's situation, then Dong Min would be polite to him and directly order Huang Fu Song to be killed on the spot.

This is not that Huangfu Song is a little careless, the location of its nest car is about three hundred and eighty meters away from the city wall, ordinary bows and arrows, crossbow arrows can not shoot so far, even if it is a catapult, due to its limited technology, the current range is only about two hundred meters, although its power is huge, but sometimes there is not a long range of some strong bows.

The range of the big yellow crossbow can reach a distance of 400 meters.

After seeing that his uncle had successfully dodged the shot of the rhubarb crossbow, Huang Fu Li immediately ordered the rope of the nest car to be lowered and Huang Fu Song down.

After Huangfu Song landed, he was also embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he was almost killed by Dong Minyin, and almost died on the spot.

Huang Fuli saw that his uncle had landed safely, but his heart was still palpitating, so he said: "Uncle, how can you be so careless, and almost fell for the enemy's tricks. ”

Huangfu Song smiled calmly, for how could the general not encounter danger, so he said: "I didn't expect Dong Min to have such a sharp weapon as a rhubarb crossbow, but the old man underestimated him." ”

Dong Min saw Huangfu Song successfully escape from the city tower, and couldn't help but pat his thigh, secretly screaming that it was a pity.

He also ordered: "Put away the big yellow crossbow, now is not the time to use it." Immediately arrange rolling stones and sassal wood, and at the same time send additional manpower to prevent the enemy from attacking the women's wall. ”

After finishing speaking, he sneered and said secretly: "Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song, I didn't expect you to boast of being a famous general, but today you are still in the strategy of Shouye, it seems that your reputation will end in the hands of Shouye." ”

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a lot better.

At this time, Huang Fu Song commanded the soldiers under his command and began a new wave of siege, under the command of Huang Fu Song, his soldiers were not afraid of death, stepped on the siege ladder to attack the city wall, climbed up, but they were meeting the soldiers under Dong Min's command.

It was the enemy who was very red when they saw it, and saw the soldiers of the Xiliang Army throwing rolling stones and skulls from the city wall, constantly hitting the soldiers who were besieging the city, and the wails were endless. Some soldiers have almost climbed the city wall, but they were used by the soldiers of the Xiliang Army to use spears and halberds, stabbing and flying out, falling down, life and death are unknown. Some soldiers have successfully climbed the city wall, but they were surrounded by several soldiers of the Xiliang Army, besieged to death, and their bodies were picked up and flew out after death, and smashed down the soldiers who continued to attack the city.
