Chapter 304: Siege

Dunsai was very close to Fancheng, and Sima Yi began to storm Dunse, and Wu Yi received the news. He set up a blocking position northeast of Fancheng, preparing to intercept Sima Yi's reinforcements, and at the same time informed Meng Da to speed up the siege.

Meng Da did not dare to slack off, and immediately pressed the whole army. Not only did all his main forces go into battle, but the sailors also forced under the city and participated in the siege.

Up and down Fancheng, the momentum became even more tense, and the artillery operators and crossbowmen on both sides fired with all their might at any cost, and the arrows and stone projectiles seemed to be as fierce as if they didn't want money, so much that even the sky seemed to be a little darker. Both the offensive and defensive sides know that whether they can break the city or not is just around the corner, and the time has come to finally decide the winner.

In the direction of ordnance, the defenders of Fancheng are strong in being well prepared, and they have the fixed fortress of the city, but the advantage of the Shu army is more obvious, they are unknown in sufficient numbers, and they are more powerful. The five-man crossbow cart was worth ten to twenty crossbowmen, and it didn't get tired, and it held down the defenders at the head of the city. As for the thunderbolts, the Shu army also had an advantage, don't look at all the thunderbolts that look the same, and they are comparable when they start to attack, but after a period of competition, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides are slowly reflected.

First of all, the Shu army's thunderbolt is more durable, a thunderbolt, launched continuously for a day, is still so strong, range, accuracy, can basically maintain the original level. However, the Wei army's thunderbolts did not last for a day, and most of the thunderbolts began to show signs of loosening after half a day of launch, the brackets rattled, the range was short, and the accuracy was poor. What's more, the pole broke off from it, and the stone did not fire at all, but fell directly behind him, beating his companion to the ground of a whoa.

Ordinary soldiers don't understand that Weishenme will have such a difference, only Wei Ba himself knows it in his heart. Ma Jun can imitate his design as much as possible, but his requirements for craftsmanship cannot be as fine as his. As long as the dimensional error is a little larger, the durability will be much worse, just like the same car, the axle of an ordinary car can never be as accurate and durable as the axle of a high-end sports car. Even with the same engine. It is impossible for an ordinary car to run at the speed of a sports car. Reluctantly, there will only be one result: the car is destroyed and people are killed.

In addition to durability, the Wei army's stone bullet reserves were also far inferior to the Shu army, and the two sides attacked each other for a day. The Shu army can also guarantee the attack. But the Wei army at the head of the city was dwarfed. can only arrange people to pick up the stone bullets that the Shu army entered the city to use. And the stone bullets of the Shu army also surprised the Wei army very much, because they only used ordinary stones, while the Shu army used stone balls of very regular size and shape.

So many stone balls. Then you have to use fewer people to grind? This alone was enough to make Wei Jun feel timid.

At the same time as Meng Da's overseer army attacked, the sailors led by Feng Jin also launched an attack, five building ships lined up, unscrupulously forced to the closest place to the city wall, and even the ballista and thunderbolt were launched together, and the small and medium-sized warships were not as strong as the building ships because of the limited space, but they were not idle, some were responsible for transporting arrows and stone bullets, and some were busy sending the wounded back to the camp for treatment, while more warships used the crossbow carts installed in the bow and stern to attack.

Between the roaring ballistae and thunderbolts, warships were busy transporting the ladders that had arrived in a hurry to the shore. Large siege engines could not be transported ashore, so simple ladders became the best option, and groups of heavily armed foot soldiers stood on the boats, waiting for the attack to begin.

On the wide Han River, the warships of the Shu army were numerous but not chaotic, and the pre-war preparations were carried out in an orderly manner under the command of various colored flags. Feng Jin got his wish, from a lieutenant who only led 500 people to be promoted to General Fubo Zhonglang, only one step away from the general, commanding 5,000 troops, and his former brothers Fu Xing, Zhang Wei and others became captains under his command, each commanding 1,000 troops and a building ship.

Although it is said that they are brothers fighting side by side, but the young man is not easy to win, Feng Jin has a family heirloom armored ship sketch, which only then did he get the sovereignty of the first building ship, and took the lead in making meritorious contributions, Fu Xing and others were embarrassed to compare with him, but they were a little unconvinced by each other, and they all wanted to be the next candidates for promotion.

Fu Xing pushed the armor open a crack, concentrated on the wall of Fancheng a hundred steps away, and pressed a sketch in his hand, which was the siege plan he had drafted. As a participant in Wei Ba's first few shiyan tactical deductions, he had become accustomed to having to do something before doing anything.

"Come here, listen to me." Fu Xing greeted, and the four military marquis under his command all came over, pressing the war knife, and looking at Fu Xing with warm eyes. They will take turns to attack Fancheng in a unit. Whoever can be the first to break through the city will be the first to make the first contribution, and whoever may become the fake lieutenant who is temporarily empty next to Fu Xing and the number two person in this battalion. The contest with the other four battalions also depends on whether or not he can break the city in front of the other battalions, which will determine whether Fu Xing can become the second person in the sailors.

With such thoughts, when Fu Xing explained his siege deployment, every military marquis pricked up their ears, firmly remembered every word Fu Xing said, and from time to time thought about how they should play when the time came.

On the building boat, less than fifty steps away from Fu Xing, Zhang Wei was also doing pre-war mobilization. Unlike Fu Xing's calm and thoroughness, he was almost arguing.

"Later, the attack will begin, Lao Tzu will be the first to go into battle, limited to one drum, the time is not enough, you are not allowed to urge Lao Tzu, do you hear?" Zhang Wei's fierce gaze swept over the faces of the four military marquis one by one: "If anyone dares to play yin with Lao Tzu, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”

"Captain, this can't be too rigid, right?" A military marquis cautioned. "If the enemy is stubborn, you will lose too much......"

"Lao Tzu is dead on the battlefield, and it is also fate." Zhang Wei sneered: "As long as Lao Tzu is not dead, you can't steal the credit." ”

The marquis shrunk their necks and said nothing.

On a warship on the far left, Guan Xing slowly paced in front of two hundred sword and shield men with his hands behind his back, and his eyes glanced at Fancheng in the distance from time to time. At the forefront of the sword and shield hands, there were a few old soldiers, almost all of them had scars on their faces, and some of them had white beards, but their waists were straight and murderous, and they looked like fierce soldiers in a hundred battles.

"Ten years ago, my father attacked Fancheng and Weizhen Huaxia. Wu Gou's sneak attack, the credit was lost, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, destroyed in one fell swoop, and the world-famous Guan family sword and shield bearers, only these few people are left in front of you. Guan Xing said quietly: "Today, we have come to Fancheng again, this time, I want to be the first to climb the head of Fancheng to comfort the spirit of my father in the sky." ”

Guan Xing turned his head, his gaze swept over the faces of the old soldiers, he arched his hand, and gave a deep salute: "Please ask a few uncles to help me!" ”

Several old soldiers knelt on the ground in unison, clenching their fists with both hands: "I am willing to fight to the death with the young master!" ”

The two hundred sword and shield men behind them roared angrily: "I am willing to fight to the death with the young master!" ”

Guan Xing's eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed again. He straightened up and arched his hand at several military marquis next to him: "Everyone, offended, today, Guan Mou is going to take the lead." ”

The military marquis looked at each other and returned the salute with their fists: "Please take care." ”

"Thank you."

At this moment, the sound of war drums outside suddenly changed, and the originally soothing rhythm suddenly became excited. Guan Xing was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the lookout hole, he instinctively looked to his left side, only glanced at it, and then smashed his fist on the cabin, and scolded with a smile: "I knew that this Zhang Jixian would play this hand." Come on, get ready to attack! ”

The military marquis crowded to the lookout one after another, only to see that a wide and thick deck had been put down on the building boat on the left, Zhang Shao put on his helmet and armor, holding a foot soldier with a long handle, under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards, passed through the warship that was shooting, and rushed towards Fancheng in the distance. Obviously, he didn't wait for Feng Jin's order and took the lead in launching the attack on the attached city. More than two hundred soldiers carried the ladder and rushed to Fancheng excitedly.

"Kill!" Zhang Shao raised the foot soldier in his hand, pointed forward, and glanced back at Guan Xing's building boat. He seemed to know that Guan Xing would see him, and grinned and smirked, revealing a neat mouthful of big white teeth.

Guan Xing looked at his smug appearance, angry and funny, and shouted: "Open the cabin, ready to attack!" ”

"Whoa!" The sword and shield bearers shouted in unison, and two sword and shield men walked up, one handing over the helmet and the other offering the sword and shield. Guan Xing put on his helmet, carefully tied the tassel, took the sword and shield, and struck hard. The sword and shield made a crisp "clang" sound, like an oath that would never die.

The armor opened, and several sword and shield men rushed out of the cabin first.

Almost at the same time, the other three ships also opened their armor, and a thousand soldiers, converging into five giant dragons, roared and pounced on Fancheng.

As the commander of the water battalion, Feng Jin was not in the first wave of attack sequences, he pushed away his armor, raised his battle flag, and ordered the ballista and thunderbolt to fire with all their might.

As soon as the war drums tightened, the defenders of Fancheng knew that the enemy was about to enter the city, and they rushed out regardless of the danger of arrows and stone bullets in the air, and launched a counterattack against the Shu soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the city with bows and crossbows in their hands, wood and stone bullets on the city wall.

Feng Jin had expected this a long time ago, and his order was issued in a very timely manner, and the sudden dense number of arrows and stone bullets hit the city with smoke and dust, and the Wei soldiers who rushed out were beaten miserably. If you don't hide behind the walls honestly, you won't need to take a few breaths before you will be shot by arrows or stoned.

The counterattack of the Wei army was seriously contained, Guan Xing and others successfully rushed to the city, set up a ladder, and climbed quickly Xiangshang.

Feng Jin stared at the battlefield in the distance, and when he saw Zhang Shao, who was running the fastest, he climbed the ladder with one foot, and immediately waved his hand vigorously: "Concentrate on shooting!" ”

"Concentrate your shot!" The flag soldier roared and waved the colorful flag in his hand vigorously. The beat of the drum changed, and it was as urgent as a storm.
