Chapter 21: Projectiles
Saying that, Du Chen got up, after boiling the water, washed his face, looked at the food left yesterday, was too lazy to get it again, and thought to himself: "What should I do, I don't want to do it, Qin Xi is resting, this is the whole thing." Yes, the old man Shangtao rubbed there, he shouldn't mind. Fortunately, Tao Qian already knew Du Chen's character, and he was not surprised, and invited Qin Xi to go with Du Chen. It's just that Qin Xi is thin-faced, not only does he never go, but he also talks to Du Chen many times in private, but Du Chen thinks it's a big deal, isn't it just a few meals at the old man Tao, what's there.
After having a meal at the governor's mansion, Du Chen and Tao Qian came to the south gate together, and as soon as they arrived at the south gate, they saw Fang Yue at a glance and immediately went up to greet him.
"My subordinates have seen Lord and Mr. Du." Du Chen nodded, glanced outside the city and said, "Wuji, is there any movement in the yellow scarf?" ”
"Mr. Du, there is no movement yet."
"Hmm!" Du Chen responded, changed his angle, and thought in his heart: "What if I promise to be Zhang Yan, when I attack the city, I encounter a trench and a bunker?"
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of an effective way, so I gave up and looked at the yellow turban general......
Suddenly, on the city wall, one of the guards shouted: "Ah! The Yellow Turbans are besieging the city! Du Chen and the others immediately leaned over the city wall and looked outside the south gate, only to see a small black shadow in the distance gradually getting bigger. Suddenly, up and down the south gate, the tip of the knife was immediately unsheathed, and the three thousand Xuzhou elite soldiers who were in turn entered the trench one after another, and set up bows and arrows. Getting closer and closer, Du Chen's eyes were a little strange. "Hey, what's that?" The person next to him asked the person next to him. "This ...... Seems to be a grain cart? Du Chen sighed in his heart, he really can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients! That Zhang Yan actually ordered a thick wooden board at the front of the grain truck, and then connected dozens of grain trucks with hemp rope, and the people pushed them behind, slowly approaching Xuzhou. In this way, will bows and crossbows become ornaments? Du Chen's brows furrowed deeply. "Anyone else in the back?" Fang Yue's low cry attracted Du Chen's attention, and Du Chen looked up to see that there were dozens of grain trucks behind him, but these grain trucks seemed to be extremely heavy and moved very slowly. Wait a minute...... A bad thought flashed in Du Chen's heart. Could it be that they want to fill in those trenches? Don't think that filling in the trench is a huge project, in fact, it is not the case, it is just a road to the east gate of Xuzhou that needs to be filled. "Mowgli!" "The subordinates are here!" Fang Yue received the order. "I'll let the soldiers shoot with a projectile later!" "Throwing ...... Ejection? Fang Yue hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously, "What is a projectile?" "Huh? Du Chen was stunned for a moment, didn't he have the word projectile at this time? "You see, the Yellow Turbans clearly want to use that weird grain cart as a cover, so that our bows and crossbows will not become decorations?" "My subordinates are also worried about this!" Fang Yue said with a frown. "Come here, I'll teach you!" Fang Yue took a few steps forward, and Du Chen said a few words in Fang Yue's ear.
"Mr. Du is really knowledgeable, such a shooting method is unheard of!" Fang Yue took the order and went down to prepare. Tao Qian rubbed to Jiang Zhe's side, smiled embarrassedly and said, "Du Xiaoyou...... I don't know ...... this" "Hehe! The time spent with Tao Qian is not short, how can Du Chen not know his thoughts, and said with a smile, "You'll know later!" "Oh......" Tao Qian was really anxious in his heart, but since Du Xiaoyou had already said so, how could he ask for it again? Well, I'll have to take a closer look at it later. The Yellow Turban Army has been arrayed outside the city, Zhang Yan took the lead, looking at the south gate of Xuzhou coldly, today he is different from yesterday, the pride and contempt of the enemy have completely disappeared, and there is only one thought left! Break through Xuzhou! With a wave of Zhang Yan's hand, dozens of strange grain trucks slowly moved towards the trench in front of the south gate of Xuzhou. "Archers on alert!" A thousand archers lined up with arrows. "Spearmen on alert!" "Drink!" With a loud answer, the more than 3,000 spearmen who had to fight on the front line showed their momentum. Zhang Yan nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "Pass on the order of the commander of the canal, capture Xuzhou, and reward for three days!" "Drink!" Suddenly, those yellow turban soldiers were excited to red-eared, Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a rare rich place in the world! Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, but Xuzhou, on the other hand, was faintly overwhelmed by the momentum of the other party. 形shìgrim...... Finally, the south gate of Xuzhou ushered in a real battle, there was no opportunism, only hard fighting!
"All troops on alert!" Fang Yue let out a loud roar, he also understood that the real battle had only begun now. The Yellow Turban Army had already entered the firing range of the elite soldiers in Xuzhou in the trenches, although Fang Yue had already told several generals one by one to use projectiles, but under the tension, most of the arrows were fired horizontally. Suddenly, the wooden planks at the front of the dozens of strange grain carts were full of arrows, and only a few arrows hit the back of the grain carts, causing some casualties. "How can I explain it to you! Ejection! Fang Yue shouted angrily. It doesn't matter if you drink this, the momentum of the soldiers suddenly became a little sluggish, and they were already suppressed by the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, but now they are even more unbearable. "Listen to me!" Fang Yue snatched the bows of the soldiers beside him and put the bow on the arrow. The generals followed Fang Yue's movements under the command of his generals. "Put!" Fang Yue drank again. Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the arrows were shooting overwhelmingly, and the use was not the usual flat shooting, how powerful can the arrow be in the sky? But he immediately understood how powerful such a shot was. In his eyes of disbelief, the ground near the dozens of grain trucks was full of arrows, and many Yellow Turban elite soldiers were nailed to the ground. There is still such a tactic, Zhang Yan frowned, and looked at those wailing soldiers with a painful heart, but how can he retreat at this time? Only offense! Only offense! As long as Xuzhou is captured! At the same time, Zhang Niujiao learned that Zhang Yan had attacked the south gate, and immediately ordered the other three gates to cooperate. "Second team! Above! At this time, the grain trucks behind also arrived, Zhang Yan saw that the grain trucks were already in place, and immediately sent a second army, this army has no weapons, no armor, what does he want to do? Immediately there was an answer, it turned out that the grain cart behind it was loaded with bags of dry soil, and his idea was the same as Du Chen, to fill in a road? As soon as the projectile came out, the Yellow Turbans suffered heavy casualties, but the first trench was filled, and those crazy Yellow Turbans rushed towards the wolves in the face of the Xuzhou soldiers in the first trench. The strength of the Yellow Turban Army was finally reflected at this moment, and the two Xuzhou soldiers could only block one enemy? When they received mortal wounds, the mad warriors all chose to die together, and everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but stand on end. The Yellow Turbans are so vicious? The destruction of more than 1,000 elite soldiers in Xuzhou in the first trench was not only a heavy loss for Xuzhou, but also because of their death, the soldiers behind couldn't help but be afraid when they saw the madness of the Yellow Turban Army, and Fang Yue, who was watching, shook his head. "Drums! Beat the drums! "Du Chen, who was standing on the city wall, roared loudly, at this moment, stratagems and the like can only be, and it has to be people!" Knock knock! "The drums are getting louder and louder. The elite soldiers of Xuzhou turned around slightly, and saw that the erudite and talented Du Chen personally cheered for himself and others, and suddenly his momentum rose slightly. "Soldiers!" Fang Yue shouted in a deep voice, "The survival of Xuzhou, the survival of the people of Xuzhou, are all in your hands!" Spear team, meet the enemy with me! Fang Yue's words were like a thunderbolt that woke up all the elite soldiers in Xuzhou, and he only remembered Du Chen's words in his heart! Exchange your own death for the life of your loved ones! "Kill!" Looking at the strange grain cart that was getting closer and closer, a captain roared, held a spear and rushed over with a few people. It doesn't matter if this rush, Zhang Yan over there panicked, the team sent in front was only used to fill the pit, but the archer team was still some distance away, not to mention that it was beside him. "Pikemen, up!" Zhang Yan also sent spearmen. The antlers were all demolished, and when the second trench was filled, the previous 500 swordsmen were also completely wiped out by the counterattack of the Xuzhou army. The elite soldiers of Xuzhou were unforgiving, and when they saw that the yellow turbans who filled the pit had no weapons in their hands, they greeted them one after another, but they really underestimated the fanaticism of the yellow turban soldiers, and died for their great sages and good teachers, for their ideals! What's the matter. Every time two unarmed yellow scarves were killed, the Xuzhou army had to pay the price of one person, and this kind of strong military spirit suddenly made Du Chen tremble. This is the Yellow Turbans? The strength of the strongest army in the world? Du Xiaoyou...... Now, give up the trenches......" Tao Qian couldn't stand it anymore and said in a low voice. "Mingjin ......" Du Chen sighed and said, but the drum in his hand still kept beating. They withdrew! Zhang Yan naturally heard the sound of Mingjin, and a slight smile appeared on Leng Ban's face.
