On October 4, after listening to Ye Yanxiong's report on the movements of the liberation movement last night, Lin Feng couldn't help but snort coldly: "Jumping beam clown!" ”

The wind next to him smiled and said, "Lord Lin, do you want us to ......?"

"No!" Lin Feng immediately shook his head resolutely and sneered, "Since Shouzhou has set all kinds of rules, then everything will be done according to the rules!" I don't believe that his surname Xie is innocent, and the wind is clear! ”

The wind was frightened, and immediately turned around and walked out.

Ye Yanxiong was about to say goodbye, but was pulled by Lin Feng, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to him, and said in a low voice: "Yanxiong, I have seen your daily performance, and now I want to give you an extremely important task!" From today onwards, you no longer belong to any group, and you are under my command alone! ”

Ye Yanxiong was inexplicably surprised, and stood up and saluted.

Lin Feng pointed to the pieces of paper and said softly: "You secretly select two more excellent special fighters, and from today onwards you will concentrate on training according to these methods behind closed doors, and I will inform you later!" ”

Ye Yanxiong briefly looked at the papers, and found that it was written that there were strange actions such as lifting with weights tied to his arms, crawling and lying down with weights for a long time, and lifting his arms with weights during the march.

Lin Feng simply had breakfast, and Ge Chang, the guard of Xicheng, sent someone to report that there seemed to be an abnormality in the western camp of the Zhou army.

Lin Feng immediately issued a warning to the other three city gates, and rushed to the west city wall with several special soldiers.

Caressing the pheasant and looking out, Lin Feng found that there was a tall wooden frame in front of and in the camp of the western camp of the Zhou army. Needless to say, these are all siege vehicles, trebuchets and other siege equipment that the Zhou army has transported or newly erected in the past few days.

Ge Chang handed the telescope to Lin Feng and reported softly: "At present, it has been found that there are sixteen trebuchets, thirty-six siege vehicles, six ballistae, and countless ladders under the city, most of which have been completed, and the enemy army should attack the city soon." ”

"I'm afraid he won't come!" Lin Feng snorted coldly, slowly swept the Zhou army camp with a telescope, suddenly aimed the camera at a place and stopped, and asked urgently, "What is that?" ”

"Oh, those two behemoths have also been counted in the siege engines. A brother who had been to Jinjiang for practical training said that Han Lingkun, the deputy general of the Zhou army, had invented this siege weapon when attacking Jinzhou, which should be a mixture of a siege vehicle and a crash vehicle. Ge Chang replied softly.

"How are you going to deal with the enemy attack?" Lin Feng asked while carefully observing the two fresh siege things.

"We, Xicheng, will resolutely implement Lord Lin's general strategy of luring the enemy into the city, not entangled with the enemy under the city, and try to kill and injure them on the city." Ge Chang said loudly.

Lin Feng nodded, pointed to the two large siege vehicles in the front cone and the back house, and said in a deep voice: "The overall strategy naturally does not need to change, but we must find a way to defeat the big guy in one fell swoop, and eliminate the other party's thoughts!" ”

Ge Chang nodded, frowning in thought.

Lin Feng carefully observed the enemy camp again, and found no other abnormalities, turned his head and instructed his cronies to notify the other city gates to knock out this siege vehicle as soon as possible, and handed the telescope back to Ge Chang: "There should be no attack during the day today, strengthen the vigilance at night!" ”

Ge Chang straightened up and reported softly, "Please rest assured, Lord Lin, we have been waiting for them to attack for a long time!" In the past few nights, I have successively sent special brothers to sneak into the enemy camp and the other side of the river to reconnoitre, and I am touching the enemy's Chinese army and logistics grain and grass storage sites. ”

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and softly told him to let his brothers pay attention to their personal safety, and at the same time observe more carefully.

Ge Chang thumped his chest violently, looking excited.

"Remember, the commander of the first army, you should be calmer and more objective when facing the big battle, and don't be rash and forget your command duties!" Lin Feng punched Ge Chang hard, gave a serious admonition, turned around and walked towards the coiled dragon standing aside, said a few words, and began to inspect the other city walls.

As Lin Feng expected, the day of October 4 was uneventful, but on the evening of the 4th, all the city gates came to report that the Zhou army camp under the city was deploying troops, as if they were planning to attack.

Lin Feng immediately ordered the whole city to ring the warning gong, and he rushed to Xicheng with Feng Jingyun, Li Congqian, and Chen Fei.

Beyond the range of the trebuchet, countless fires were ablaze, and the flames were blown up and down by the howling west wind, and the sparks danced wildly; Bands of soldiers stood behind the fire like black squares; Behind them were trebuchets and siege engines moving slowly, and the soldiers on the carts were sounding their horns.

"It's coming!" Lin Feng raised his face and squinted his eyes to experience the coolness of the light rain hitting his face in the wind, and whispered.

"Lord Lin, I suggest that a large number of soldiers be withdrawn first, so as not to be injured by mistake." Ge Chang twisted his eyebrows and suggested.

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, arrange it immediately!" Except for the necessary archers and defenders, the others retreated or retreated. In addition, the city reduced its number of torches, and a fire broke out in the city. ”

The order was passed down, and the head of Shouzhou City dimmed, and many Shouzhou soldiers quietly went down the ladder and along the rope to or slipped into the city. One by one, fires were lit in the city, and the follow-up troops and logistics people all looked nervously at the city.

The dull drum beat of "dong dong dong ......" exploded from under the city, getting louder and louder, faster and faster, making the hearts of the soldiers and people above and below the city jump sharply.

The drum beat suddenly paused for a moment, and then it started again!

A terrible sound sounded, the trebuchet and crossbow cart of the Zhou army started at the same time, the stones rolled forward in the air, and the crossbow arrows crossed the night sky with a whistling sound, loudly announcing the official start of the siege of Shouzhou.

"Long live Da Zhou!" The Zhou soldiers shouted wildly, and the archers, under the cover of stones and crossbow arrows, rushed forward in unison, and when they reached the firing range, they stood still and fired.

"Tom-pop-" is the sound of a crossbow bolt striking a wall and then breaking;

"Boom—tom—" is the sound of a stone being thrown against the wall and then falling;

"Whew...... Whoosh...... "This is the sound of the arrow array coming from far and near.

The roar of stones, crossbows, and arrows pierced the silence of the night, and struck the city like a flowing black cloud, enveloping the entire wall.

Under the cover of these sounds, the soldiers in front of the assault rushed forward with a roar of ladders, and the siege engines continued to move forward.

When he saw that the Zhou army had rushed to the moat, Lin Feng, who was hiding behind the pheasant, shouted: "The trebuchet will be launched in an odd number, and the trebuchet will be launched in an even number after twenty counts!" Count another twenty and then launch at will. ”

An urgent gong sounded, and some soldiers ran to the back of the wall with their shields and waved their flags at a rapid pace, shouting orders at the same time.

The trebuchets side by side in the city awoke every other moment, sounding, moving, charging, and firing, and one by one the stone balls crossed the walls and slammed into the darkness outside the city.

"Trebuchet, be careful!" The Zhou soldiers outside the city reminded each other, quickly splitting dozens of teams, trying to avoid the trajectory of the stone.

Soon after the passage was formed, a second wave of throwing stones came, and it was smashed against the soldiers who were squeezing together. The teams immediately went into disarray and fled in all directions, but a third wave of slings came and smashed mercilessly into the panicked crowd of soldiers, causing a burst of screams and wild shouts.

Coincidentally, a stone threw on the edge of a siege vehicle, and a Shouzhou lieutenant at the head of the city immediately retreated with a shield, estimated the position and stood still, and roared: "In the direction ahead, siege vehicle, launch!" ”

A movable siege vehicle immediately moved over, right in front of the lieutenant's position, the spring quickly pressed down, and a stone ball was instantly launched.

As the stone ball flipped over his head, the lieutenant ran to the pheasant of the outer city wall, watched the stone ball fly past the top of the siege car, and took away a very small part of the siege car, and immediately grabbed one of the defenders and told him to pay attention, and ran back to the inner city wall again, and shouted at the lower wall: "Lose your strength!" Lose power! Keep firing! ”

The trebuchet immediately adjusted, the spring was lowered, and the stone ball flew out again.

"Hit!" The soldiers watching from the front shouted.

Soon, four siege vehicles of the Zhou army that could not move left and right were smashed one after another, and a small number of soldiers of the Zhou army who were ready to attack on the other siege vehicles quickly fled and followed the car nervously.
