The breeze swept across the ground, and the green grass everywhere swayed its delicate body under the swaying of the wind, making a soft "rustle" sound.

The wind swept the inky battle flags in the main formation of the Luoyang Army, lifted the corners of the battle flags, and made a "hulala" sound.

The sound of the battle flag flying, and the sound of the blades of grass being rubbed by the wind, played a natural and harmonious rhythm in the wilderness outside the city of Zhuojun.

Groups of Luoyang Army soldiers lined up in a neat queue, facing the towering city wall in the distance.

In the array of the Luoyang Army, more than a dozen newly built catapults waited quietly, waiting to roar towards the city wall and throw a fast boulder.

Although the weather has not yet become hot, the nearly 100 Luoyang officers and soldiers standing next to the stones are actually naked, as if they can't withstand the heat.

Under the banner of the Chinese military commander, Liu Wei, who was wearing golden armor, pressed the long sword at his waist with one hand and crossed his waist with the other, raised his face slightly, looking at the city wall in the distance, and his eyes flashed with an incomprehensible profundity.

On the city wall in the distance, the battle flags of the Jizhou army fluttered in the wind, but the battle flags that flew one after another did not make the Luoyang army outside the city feel half majestic, but there was a faint feeling of being sorry for the Jizhou army in my heart.

After staring at the city wall in the distance for a while, Liu Wei raised one arm and swung it forward.

When he waved his arm, Pang Tong on the side turned his head and shouted behind him: "Zhao Yun listens to the order!" ”

"In!" Before Pang Tong's words fell, Zhao Yun, who was wearing a white robe and a silver armor, stepped forward and stood beside Pang Tong with his fists in his fists.

"You immediately lead 3,000 soldiers and horses around the north of the city, garrison in the north of the city, and wait until Gongsun Chan leaves the city, and take advantage of the situation to cover up!" Turning his head to look at Zhao Yun, Pang Tong said to him: "Remember, you have few people, you must not fight with Gongsun Zhan for too long, fight a fight, and withdraw immediately if you have the opportunity!" ”

"No!" After receiving the order, Zhao Yun maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and responded, and then ran towards the war horse not far away.

In just a moment, three thousand cavalry left the Chinese army under the leadership of Zhao Yun, bypassed the Zhuojun city wall, and rushed towards the north gate of the city wall.

Three thousand horses galloped, and the heavy hooves of the horses stepped on the green grass, and even splashed smoke and dust in the sky.

As the cavalry led by Zhao Yun went away, bursts of smoke and dust rolled, drifting farther and farther away in the field of vision of Liu Wei and the soldiers of the Luoyang Army.

When the cavalry was far away, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he raised his arm again.

He raised his arm this time, and Pang Tong didn't speak again, but a Luoyang Army officer standing a little farther behind Liu Wei raised the two small flags in his hand and waved them a few times at the shirtless men waiting behind the catapult.

"Roar!" Seeing the small flag waving, nearly 100 shirtless men shouted in unison, and in pairs, they pushed large stones and approached the catapult.

Under the impetus of the big men, the big stones rolled onto the huge wooden bucket of the catapult, and when the big stones were placed on the more than a dozen catapults, all the shirtless big men turned their faces to the officer waving the small flag.

The big men looked at the officer, and the officer also turned his head to look at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei did not look back, and when the big men placed the boulders on the catapult, he clearly heard a "creaking" sound of the wooden frame being squeezed by a heavy object.

When the "creaking" sound stopped, he raised his arm again and slammed it down.

At the same time that Liu Wei raised his arm, the officer holding the two small flags also held the small flags high, and when Liu Wei pressed his arm, the officer waved the small flag vigorously and shouted: "Release!" ”

With the officer's order, more than a dozen catapults ejected in order, throwing huge stones at the Zhuojun city wall in the distance.

When the catapult throws stones, it does not throw them at the same time, but the first one throws them and the second one follows. In this way, when the last catapult throws a boulder, the first catapult has already loaded new stones.

Under the projection of the catapult, the stones larger than the grinding disc drew a round arc, wrapped in the sound of the "whirring" wind, and flew towards the city wall.

The stones that flew to the city wall first slammed into the wall, and with a loud bang, a puff of smoke rose up, and the city wall was smashed out of a large crater in an instant.

The stones behind them whistled and followed, most of them fell on the city wall, and a few flew over the city wall and fell into the streets and houses of the city.

The boulder that flew into the city landed on the street, smashed a huge crater in the bluestone slab on the street, and then bounced up, tumbling forward and rolling for a long distance before slowly stopping and falling to the ground.

Some boulders that directly hit the houses disappeared into the houses with a bang when they hit the ground after smashing a huge hole in the roof of the houses.

A boulder roared and flew towards the city walls. A group of Jizhou troops who were looking at this boulder head-on, saw the big boulder flying towards them, and some of them hurriedly lay down, trying to avoid the attack of the boulder under the cover of the city wall.

There were also a few Jizhou soldiers who reacted slowly, looking at the flying boulders, they were already frightened, watching the boulders get bigger and bigger in their sight.

"Boom!" The boulder crossed the battlements, arced and slammed into the walls.

The Jizhou army who watched the boulder fly towards them didn't even have time to scream, they were knocked out of the heavy stone, and one of them was even hit with a broken stomach and a broken brain, and his limbs scattered in the corners of the nearby city wall.

The boulder that fell on the city wall, after hitting several Jizhou soldiers, did not stop the momentum of rolling forward, bounced forward along the city wall a few times, bounced out of the battlements on the other side, and fell in the city.

Where the boulder passed, the Jizhou army lying on the ground was smashed into pieces of broken flesh one by one, and it was impossible to stand up again.

"Hide behind the battlements!" The boulders flew one after another, roaring towards the city wall, and Gongsun Chan on the city wall shouted, bowed down and squatted behind the battlements on the side facing the outside of the city, using the battlements to avoid the bombardment of the boulders.

The huge roar of the boulder hitting the city wall obscured Gongsun Zhan's shout, but there were still a few nearby Jizhou soldiers who heard his shout and hid behind the battlements on this side facing the outside of the city.

Some people took advantage of the battlements to dodge, and more and more Jizhou troops suddenly woke up when they were bombarded by boulders, and squatted under the battlements one after another.

Under the violent impact of the boulders, the city wall showed deep pits and raised thick patches of smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust that kicks up are not the smoke of the flames, but the finely crushed stone powder.

Gray stone dust rose high, and the city walls were suddenly filled with thick dust. The Jizhou army, who was squatting behind the battlements, covered their mouths and noses one by one, and prevented the stone powder from being inhaled into their bodies through the cover of their clothes.

The huge roar was endless, and the Jizhou army on the city wall did not have any extra hands to cover their ears when they raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses.

The roar was deafening, and the officers and men of the Jizhou Army were almost shocked by the roar and lost their hearing.

A battlement was hit by three or four fast boulders in a row, and another boulder flew towards the unfortunate battlement, when the boulder hit the battlement, the battlement let out a huge scream, and finally could not withstand the heavy blow, and the hit waist cracked a long gap.

The battlements, which had been knocked off, fell crookedly outward, and finally broke apart, falling vertically from the city walls.

The two Jizhou troops hiding behind this battlement were almost stunned by the roar, and they kept their bodies against the battlements.

When the battlements fell under the city, their bodies were left without support. By the time they felt their bodies in the air, it was too late, and almost at the same time they let out a terrible scream, and with the roar of the boulder hitting the wall, they fell from the wall and fell into a pile of rubble at the foot of the wall.

There are fewer and fewer boulders piled up behind the catapult, and the rocky pile, which was originally like a hill, is also rapidly decreasing in altitude in the continuous projection of the catapult.

The huge roar of the boulder hitting the city wall shook the sky, and even Liu Wei, who was standing under the banner of the Luoyang Army, was stunned by the huge roar of his head.

The city wall attacked by catapults is only a small area of the city wall of Zhuo County. Under the impact of heavy boulders, the wall was soon riddled with holes and dilapidated.

The catapult of the Luoyang army roared for two hours, and when the last boulder was thrown, it smashed heavily on the city wall, and after a puff of smoke and dust, the roar of the catapult finally stopped.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, looking at the city wall of Zhuo County, which had just been violently bombarded by catapults, Liu Wei did not make any further movements.

The smoke and dust that permeated the city walls gradually dissipated, and the hazy city walls that were enveloped in smoke and dust gradually became clear as the smoke and dust dissipated.

When the smoke and dust completely dispersed, although it was far away, Liu Wei could still see clearly that the towering city wall had already been smashed and crumbled.

On the city wall, when Gongsun Chan felt that the attack of the Luoyang army was coming to an end, he sat down behind the battlements in a gloomy manner, raised his face slightly, and looked at the blue sky.

The walls that had just been attacked were littered with blood and flesh, and the bodies of some smashed people were scattered everywhere.

Many grizzled Jizhou soldiers were busy cleaning up the scraps of meat on the city wall and removing some stones that blocked the middle of the road.

"Father!" Gongsun Zhan was looking at the sky in a daze, and Gongsun Xu, who was hiding behind another battlement when he was attacked by a catapult just now, ran to him, hugged his fists and bowed to him and said, "The king of Luoyang did not launch a large army to attack the city!" ”

"I expected it!" Turning his head to look at Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zhan, who had a lot of stone powder on his head and face, said with a very desolate expression: "The Luoyang army has always attacked the city and never attacked it!" I think that the king of Luoyang wants to use a boulder to break through the city wall, and then wave his troops into the city! ”
