Chapter 198, The Giant Ladder

"Ho, ho." Not only is the behemoth constantly moving forward, but there are bursts of neat trumpets under the monster, the sound is loud, the momentum is majestic, dense, and I don't know how many yellow turban soldiers are hiding under the monster, and the sharp-eyed soldiers pointed to the feet of the moving monster and exclaimed, "Someone is pushing the monster forward, and the number is thousands." ”

"The Express and the general learned that the Yellow Turban has attacked the city."

The soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent people to report that the army was shocked.

"Sister, this is a list prepared for my brother and the Chinese martial arts of various prefectures, no matter what, we must let Your Majesty issue an edict as soon as possible, first, the prefecture pastors will be grateful to my brother and sister, and add the help of you and my brother and sister, second, the elite of the Han family has lost everything, if you want to maintain the safety of the society and strive to ensure the perpetuity of the rivers and mountains, all localities must recruit their own troops to gather the township warriors to jointly surrender the thieves, and third, once the history of the Xiliang Assassin cannot withdraw in time to help, it is also possible to let the various state pastors lead the army to rescue the Jingshi and deter the rebel Xu Feng."

"My brother has thought it through, and my sister has written it down, Your Majesty is ill, he has been sick for a long time, and now he is frightened by the traitor, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Be careful, be careful, be careful that the wall has ears."

"Bian'er is young, you can't be an uncle, you must plan for Your Majesty a hundred years later, you and my brother and sister will not be left out of power, and they will be neglected, everything you and I have today is not easy to come by, brother must bother a lot, His Majesty is sick in the palace, and my sister is not easy to stay for a long time, I should go back to the palace."

"Congratulations to the Queen."

Then, the door of He Jin's study creaked softly, and a man and a woman walked out of it. The male dragon walks with tiger steps, wearing armor and helmets, and strides with his chest high. There is quite a majesty of the superior, the woman's body is plump, the figure is graceful, the breeze is like a willow, and she walks in style, wearing gold and silver, showing her nobility. Under the eyebrows, the phoenix eyes contain spring, revealing a charming coquettishness.

"Drive back to the palace." Not much. Under the escort of the palace maid's guards, He Jin's sister drove to the palace.

He Jin's sister is not an outsider, it is Liu Wei's mother, and now He Hou.

"Report, General. Big things are not good. The yellow turban Xu Feng took advantage of the night to attack the city. ”

Without waiting for He Hou to drive out of the door of He Jin's mansion, a sweaty soldier rushed in in a panic and shouted as he ran.

"Who dares to collide with Niang Niangfeng?" Seeing that some soldiers were rushing towards the queen's palanquin, the guards on the side hurriedly drew their swords and scolded angrily.

"Wait, what do you say? Who attacked the city? ”

The sedan curtain was raised, and the probe revealed a delicate melon seed face, He Houfeng's eyes widened, and he looked at the soldiers standing under the intimidation of the guards and swords with a look of surprise.

"Back to my mother, it's not good. Outside the city, Xu Feng attacked the city overnight, and I don't know where they got a behemoth. is approaching the city wall. ”

"Stop the car."

"No"

Since Xu Feng led the army to attack the city, it was inevitable that the city would be chaotic at night, and He Hou was worried about being disturbed, so he decided to stay in He Jin's mansion temporarily, if Emperor Ling was not allowed on weekdays, but now Emperor Ling is already a sick and disabled person, and the deadline is approaching, how can he take care of these.

"General, you quickly go to the city to defend the city, don't let the traitor's tricks succeed, the palace will rest in the palace for a while, you go." In front of outsiders, Empress He naturally had to put on a high-minded queen demeanor, and even He Jin didn't dare to be a little disrespectful in front of her.

"Niangniang is at ease, I will go back at the end."

He Jin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left the house with his fists in his hands and rushed to the city tower.

"My lord, what is this?" Even the well-informed Guo Jia was taken aback when he saw such a giant ladder up close for the first time, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

"This is the siege ladder, but the length and width of the scale is hundreds of times larger than the previous ladder, the whole is built with long bamboo, into an inverted triangle, ten zhang high, more than 30 zhang wide, narrow on the top and wide at the bottom, the top is equipped with a platform of three or five zhang, once close to the city wall, it is like a steep slope in general, you can take advantage of the siege, the other party rolling wood thunder stone defense equipment in addition to tung oil can slightly make this thing suffer some damage, the rest of the city defense equipment are useless, this thing siege saves a lot of trouble, once close is close is close to hand-to-hand combat, With only 20,000 Luoyang defenders is not enough to deter my Yellow Turban soldiers, I want to burst the embankment in Yangping, and the water of the flood embankment is to use this thing to stabilize the embankment, how about Fengxiao? Is there a chance of victory in the siege? ”

"The lord's whimsy, this thing is unheard of by filial piety, unseen, this thing is like a cliff on the mountain wall, stable and abnormal, and can attack and defend, if it can really be close to the city wall, even if this Luoyang City is the land of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it is difficult to hold, the lord's clever plan, Fengxiao admires." Guo Jiazema and Xu Feng walked side by side in amazement as they watched the giant ladder that kept moving forward.

"Hehe, all things in heaven and earth have wonderful uses, if they can be used by me, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be of great benefit." Xu Feng replied quite calmly.

"Ho, ho, soldiers, it's less than two hundred steps away from the city wall, work harder." Dian Wei glanced at the Luoyang city wall in front of him, and shouted loudly at the soldiers.

"One-two, go, one-two."

The giant ladder is like a moving giant dragon, constantly emitting the sonorous sound of earthquakes and mountains, and with the efforts of thousands of yellow turban men, it is gradually approaching the Luoyang city wall.

"Shoot these thieves to death, shoot them to death, and don't let them get close." He Jin, who climbed the city tower, looked at the giant monsters that were approaching on the opposite side, and was also anxious, and hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released.

Whoosh, thousands of archers bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the moving monsters and constantly firing arrows, and the arrows in the air were like flying locusts, coming densely, but as a result, these eagle arrows, after a clanging sound, were either shot on the monster, or were blocked to the ground, and the opposing Yellow Turban soldiers were hidden behind the monsters, and the bows and arrows were of no use to them at all.

"Throw the Wood Thunder Stone and smash it hard for me."

Seeing that the bow and arrow were ineffective, He Jin was even more anxious and hurriedly changed the order.

"General, the distance is too far for the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone to reach."

"Take tung oil, shoot it with a rocket, although Meng De doesn't know what it is, but it must be made by Xu Feng from the nearest wood and bamboo arrows, since it is wood and bamboo, he is afraid of fire, and it will definitely work if he burns it with fire." Cao Cao withdrew his gaze and turned to persuade He Jin.

"Well, I had to give it a try, get tung oil, listen to the orders of the cavalry captain, and shoot with rockets."

"Lord, they want to set fire to the siege ladder, what can they do?" Seeing that there were many people on the opposite city wall, and someone kept moving the altars and jars, Guo Jia hurriedly turned around and said to Xu Feng.

"Don't worry, Ben Shuai has been prepared, these wood and bamboo have already been soaked in water, and in a short time, tung oil is difficult to work. Messenger Dian Wei, speed up the movement, and at all costs, bring the siege ladder close to the city wall as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
