The trebuchet on Yan Jun's side began to push upwards little by little, and round after round of projectiles followed, although the frequency was a little slow, but the sense of rhythm was very good.

Liang Cheng once made an analogy to Uncle Zheng, saying that the two armies are facing each other, just like a pianist playing, but in fact, they all have to pay attention to a musical score.

No matter what kind of situation you face, if you have a spectrum in your heart, you don't have any magic strokes, but at least you can follow a soldier to block the water and cover the earth;

And if the score is messed up, that is, the rhythm is messed up, then it will inevitably be messed up and full of mistakes and omissions.

Later, Uncle Zheng took this passage as homework and handed it over to Tian Wujing to see, but changed the piano to a guzheng.

Nowadays, the Yan army is attacking the city, accompanied by the beat of the drum, going down one by one, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are following up in an orderly manner, which is indeed orderly.

It's just that the Chu people's trebuchets in Dongshan Fort have not moved, yes, there must be, but the Chu people are so calm, it really makes people feel a little ...... Not steady.

It's not that I think that the trebuchet of the Chu people will be much higher than his own here in terms of performance, with the design of San'er and the processing of the people of Tianji Pavilion, Uncle Zheng believes that his trebuchet is definitely at the forefront of the world in terms of performance.

But the Chu people are so able to hold back, so people look up at the sky from time to time;

Uncle Zheng, who had been greeted cordially by a trebuchet, had already had a slight psychological shadow on that thing.

At this point,

One by one, the arrow towers began to move forward, and there was no way to do it, because the generals knew that the trebuchets of the Chu people might be preparing to deal with these arrow towers, but you really can't waste food because of choking, how to attack or how to attack.

Guo Dong and Xu An, these auxiliaries went up, they didn't bring blades, they just stepped forward in a queue with shields.

However, what made Guo Dong and Xu An a little relieved was that their team of 100 people was assigned in front of and behind an arrow tower, holding a shield while stretching out their hands to help push the arrow tower.

With such a behemoth as an arrow tower as a backing, at least one side of the arrow can be completely blocked, and then you can use a shield to block the other side, and the sense of security will come.

But Rao is like this, perceiving the continuous arrows being shot on his shield, and the bursts of force still make people's arms numb at the same time, and their hearts and livers tremble.

In the final analysis, this is the first time that Guo Dong and Xu An have been on the real battlefield.

On the city wall, the counterattack ability of the Chu people is not comparable to the savages who practiced as targets on the snow field, and their weapons are also more sophisticated.

"Dongzi, go a little further here, lean closer to me, quick!"

Xu An shouted at Guo Dong in front of him.

Because the arrow tower is constantly moving forward, so they are clustered around the arrow tower, and their positions are constantly changing, and it is inevitable that someone will fall behind or fall or be unlucky or fall to the ground by an arrow, so the vacancies and loopholes that do not exist exist also appear like this.

When Guo Dong heard this, he immediately took two steps back and put himself and Xu An together.

Guo Dong, who was previously beaten with watermelon blood,

After actually coming to the battlefield environment, I still became a little more distracted.

It's not that watermelon blood comes and goes quickly, but at this time, they have no means to fight back except for protecting the arrow tower and covering the wrestlers pushing the arrow tower in the rear.

If people are constantly in a state of being beaten passively and cannot fight back, they are often under great pressure mentally.

"Buzz!"

On the city wall, a huge crossbow was fired.

Shot a robe in front of Guo Dong, his shield couldn't withstand the blow of the giant crossbow at all, and was directly shattered, and the giant crossbow also penetrated his chest, nailing his whole person to the side of the arrow tower.

While their auxiliary soldiers have arrow towers for protection, they are often taken care of by the Chu defenders on the city wall, and it can only be said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

"Set, unplug it!"

Shi Chang shouted, and at the same time, Shi Chang and a few people around him moved some distance to the outside and held up their shields.

Originally, it was not a big problem for the crossbow arrow to hit other positions in the arrow tower, even if a corpse was added, it was not a big problem, after all, there were archers on the arrow tower.

But the corpse nailed to the top is too close to the wheel, and it is likely to get stuck in the wheel, and it will not be so easy for the wrestler behind to push it at that time.

Xu An let out a low shout, threw the shield directly on the ground, grabbed the giant crossbow with both hands, and pulled it out with all his strength.

Xu is crossbow arrow had already penetrated the shield and penetrated a person's body before, plus the problem of the piercing angle, although the piercing was very deep, the other end had already emerged, so Xu An turned outward after exerting force, and the giant crossbow fell.

The corpse of the robe also fell, and when he pulled out the giant crossbow before, it also involved his wounds, which was equivalent to disemboweling his corpse again, and for a while, a large number of intestines flowed out, which just confused Xu An's face.

Call......

Xu An didn't dare to delay, and didn't even dare to spend a little more time wiping his face first, but immediately lay on the ground and reached out to the shield he had put down earlier, lifted it again, and carried it high in front of him according to the previous training.

Guo Dong took the initiative to lean over so that his brother could catch his breath more.

"Next time we'll pull it together!"

When Xu An made a move before, Guo Dong didn't have time to react, and when he saw Xu An drop his shield and start to draw crossbow arrows in a big way, Guo Dong's heart was directly raised to his throat.

Fortunately, the crossbow arrow was drawn quickly, and Xu An was fine, otherwise Guo Dong really didn't know what to do.

"I have a snake in my chest!"

"Poof!"

When Xu An, who had a bloody face, spoke, the blood on his face and intestines were about to fall into his mouth, causing him to speak a little indistinguishable.

At the same time, he also sprayed blood foam on Guo Dong's face.

call

Boy

This smells heavy!

may be due to psychological reasons, Guo Dong felt that when his father killed the New Year's pig, the taste was not so rushing.

The distance has been pulled to a certain extent.

Small baffles on each floor of the tower were lowered, and the crossbowmen inside began to return fire.

The effect of the small baffle is the same as that of the battlements, and while ensuring the design angle, it is also necessary to protect the crossbowmen in the rear, and it is convenient to shoot people when they are fully opened, but at the same time it is more convenient to be shot by others.

Xu is the reason why he found that the shooters on the arrow tower on his side began to fight back, although the greeting of the Chu people to this side did not actually decline, but Guo Dong and Xu An still felt a lot more at ease.

At least

My side is no longer purely passively beaten!

"Knock knock! Knock knock knock!!!!!! ”

The auxiliaries in the rear began to step forward with shields, and they covered in groups of archers, and the arrow towers went first, and when they reached the position where they could return fire, the rear echelon immediately followed.

For a time, the counterattack strength of the Yan people under the city wall has been further enhanced, and the archery skills of the soldiers on the side of the snow customs have the foundation of riding and shooting, and there are many good hands who can pull up a hard bow and shoot accurately, so even under the city wall, it can also give great damage to the Chu people above.

"Boom! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock!!!!! ”

Savage slaves carrying bamboo baskets began to swarm forward.

Guo Dong and Xu An found that there were savage slaves rushing over on their side, these savage slaves basically had no protection on their bodies, and some of them were even unclothed, so it can be imagined how insecure they were in this battlefield environment.

But they are inseparable from the filling of trenches and moats.

Many savage slaves were hit by arrows on the way, because when they appeared, the Chu people on the city wall also discovered the fragility of these servant soldiers, and it was more efficient to shoot these filled savages than to shoot those arrow towers and Yan crossbowmen protected by shield soldiers.

"Ahh

Ahead, a wild man was shot in the neck, blood splattered all over the ground, and the basket on his back was scattered.

Guo Dong and Xu An were unmoved, and continued to push the arrow tower forward.

There was also a wild man who had already filled the trench with the soil he was carrying and returned, and when he ran back, he was hit by an arrow in his right arm, and the whole person stumbled and rolled to the ground, just at the feet of Guo Dong and Xu An.

Guo Dong subconsciously moved his shield and sheltered it together.

The wild man looked up and saw Guo Dong, and immediately stood up with his arm, he was obviously in pain, but he was still holding on.

Followed by

He didn't continue to run backwards, but turned back and picked up the bamboo basket he had dropped earlier.

He knew that only by returning with a bamboo basket could he get the bamboo sticks and get enough food for today.

He also has two elder brothers who are also in the slave soldiers in the military village, and he can exchange a bamboo stick for a full meal for himself and his two elder brothers tonight.

"Hey!"

Guo Dong shouted anxiously.

In fact, as a Yan man, he didn't care about these lowly savages at all, but this was the battlefield, and on the battlefield, any racial discrimination and regional discrimination disappeared in an instant.

Everyone, regardless of status, is a robe.

Because everyone risked death together to do it in order to capture the city wall in front of them.

The wild man picked up the basket and walked back a few steps when an arrow struck him in the back.

"Poof!"

The bamboo basket that the wild man had just picked up rolled down again, face down, and fell to the ground, as if he wanted to struggle, but apparently could no longer struggle;

Before he died, he thought that not only would his two brothers not be able to eat tonight, but even that they would be sent to continue filling the soil tomorrow.

"Stellar ........."

"Dongzi, get out of the way!"

Xu An suddenly rushed forward and knocked Guo Dong over, and his people rolled to the other side with Guo Dong.

"Bang!"

Inside the walls of the Chu people, trebuchets were launched, and it was clear that the target was against these tall arrow towers.

And the arrow tower that Guo Dong and Xu An had been protecting and advancing before was actually hit by two boulders in a row in an instant, and the defense of the arrow tower could be modified, but no matter how it was modified, it was impossible to withstand this kind of blow.

The arrow tower was smashed by the waist, and the upper part was smashed right in the previous position where Guo Dong and Xu An were, if it weren't for Xu An's prediction after seeing the boulder flying out of the Chu city wall, he and Guo Dong might have been crushed to death by the collapsed arrow tower now.

Many of the crossbowmen in the tower were wounded, and some of them immediately crawled out without being injured and began to look for cover, or those who had shields on the ground picked up their shields, and those who had crossbows and longbows picked up crossbows and arrows and continued to fight.

As long as the rear does not withdraw troops, no matter what situation they encounter, they cannot retreat, otherwise it will be a matter of military law.

The launch of the trebuchet of the Chu people after holding it for a long time dealt a great blow to the Yan army's side.

However, the Yan people, who had already planned for a long time, immediately calculated the approximate location of the trebuchet in the Chu people city according to the trajectory of the boulder thrown in the city.

In the next round, the projectiles from the Yan army's side obviously extended into the city.

The effect is also extremely obvious, because the number of boulders thrown by the second round of trebuchet throwing of the Chu people is obviously much less than that of the first round.

When the war started, Uncle Zheng didn't eat melons anymore, but carefully observed the battle situation.

Beside him, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi were also watching very seriously.

To tell the truth, this kind of back-and-forth methodical siege warfare was extremely enjoyable for them to watch, at least, it was much more effective than they originally expected, which also meant that the casualties required to take this Dongshan Fort would be much lower than expected.

It's just that one thing makes them a little strange, that is, it seems that it is not the uncle who is sitting next to them at this time who is in command of this siege battle.

This......

Such an important siege battle, actually let it go to his generals to command?

Of course, the two of them would not think that Uncle Zheng would not fight;

Joke

How could Uncle Hirano, who had outstanding achievements in battle, not know how to fight!

And each of them has two books in their hands, one is Uncle Zheng's "Zheng Zi's Art of War", and the other is Uncle Zheng's "Siege Rules".

They can only admire and admire that Uncle Zheng is so good at training his subordinates.

In the end, it is the personal disciple of King Jingnan!

At this time, two columns of cavalry in the rear of the Yan army began to press forward from the flanks.

"Uncle, what does this mean?" Gong Wang immediately asked.

He had come to watch the battle and learn, so naturally he would ask immediately if he had doubts.

Now that this siege battle is in full swing, what do you want to do when you suddenly transfer cavalry forward?

Uncle Zheng's eyes froze,

Of course, he knew that it must be Liang Cheng who mobilized these two cavalry,

He actually didn't expect Liang Cheng to transfer cavalry up at this time.

But he believed that Liang Cheng would never be untargeted, so Uncle Zheng's brain quickly began to push backwards.

soon

Uncle Zheng spoke:

"The Chu people are going to attack."

"Huh?" Gong Wang.

Gongsun Zhi stood up and began to look at the battle.

In fact, in front of Dongshan Fort, there is not only a moat moat, but also a low wall, which stands in front of the city gate.

In fact, when Uncle Zheng led the army to guard the snow customs, Liang Cheng also designed it like this.

This wall, combined with the trench underneath it, is actually meant to obscure the view.

So that the besiegers could not find out if the city gate was opened, whether any soldiers rushed out of it, and then a surprise attack came.

Under the premise that the defenders also have trebuchets, it is naturally impossible for the main general who is responsible for commanding the siege to be too close to the city.

For example, Uncle Zheng at this time, his handsome man stopped in the rear and never moved, even if Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi hinted that they couldn't see clearly a few times, Uncle Zheng was still unmoved.

But Liang Cheng, who commanded in front, was obviously not so afraid of being stoned to death, and besides, he probably deduced the Chu people's plans based on the movements and rhythm on the Chu people's city wall, combined with the situation at this time.

Sure enough, behind the trench, a group of Chu heavily armored soldiers suddenly crawled out, wearing heavy scale armor, and frantically killed the location of the arrow tower in front.

But their real destination may still be the trebuchet on the Yan army's side.

In order to be able to bombard the Chu people's trebuchet in the city, the trebuchet on the Yan people's side has advanced to an extremely dangerous position.

The battlefield is very large, but if it is refined, in fact, the battlefield is also very small, and it can often work wonders with a stroke of genius and then grasping the moment when the opponent is out of touch.

However, as soon as this group of heavily armored Chu soldiers ran out, they immediately heard the sound of horses' hooves.

From the east and west of them, there were Yan cavalry galloping forward.

These knights were also clothed in fine armor, and the weapons they held in their hands were not sabers, but lances or sledgehammers.

The Chu people on the city wall took the first step to find two cavalry that suddenly joined the battlefield, and immediately released arrows at them, but the effect of arrows on these elite cavalry was not great, unless they were really unlucky or the war horse under the crotch was hit by an arrow, otherwise they could not be stopped at all.

As soon as the heavily armored warriors of the Chu people ran out, they were hedged by the two cavalry crossing.

It doesn't matter what kind of armor you're wearing, a blunt weapon will go up with a blow from the horse's speed and knock you directly over.

After this round of strangulation charge,

The Chu heavy-armored warriors, who originally wanted to work wonders as miracle soldiers, immediately suffered heavy losses, and for a while, they fell into an embarrassing situation where they could not advance or retreat.

Because they came out secretly, if they failed to achieve results and forced the Yan people to stop this round of offensive, they would not even be able to go back, and the city gate could not be opened for them in this case, otherwise there would be a risk of being swept into the gate backwards.

"Hoo ........."

Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi almost breathed a sigh of relief together.

Gongsun Zhi said with emotion: "Uncle, I am really convinced of this battle. ”

predicted the enemy's prediction in advance, obviously it was the besieging side, and it stands to reason that it would be passive everywhere, but it just played a situation where it was evenly matched, no, and even overwhelmed the Chu people in momentum and means.

Uncle Zheng shook his head implicitly and said with a smile;

"Today, it's almost as good as the ditch and the wall are leveled."

Rice, take one bite at a time.

Although he pushed the arrow tower up, Uncle Zheng or Liang Cheng did not plan to do the work of going to the city in one go today.

Take it step by step, just like when attacking Yangshanzhai, make preparations for the periphery first, and clear the obstacles.

Gongsun Zhi immediately patted his chest and said:

"Uncle, tomorrow, please lead your own guard battalion to the city!"

Gongsun Zhi, as Li Bao's son-in-law, naturally also has Li Bao's tiger spirit, otherwise he would not have been able to enter Li Bao's eyes at the beginning.

As for the separation from Li Bao's son, well, you have to look at it one yard at a time.

"Okay, General Gongsun has such a heroic spirit, Ben Bo admires it."

"Here, take the stick, take the stick."

All the savages who came back with bamboo baskets received bamboo sticks from the savage king to symbolize a full meal.

however

At this moment,

There was a wild man who did not go to the wild king to get the sign impatiently, but directly bypassed here, and his body quickly pounced forward like a cheetah, and at the same time, the bamboo basket in his hand cracked, and a purple longbow appeared inside.

For a moment, its figure leaped up, its body released a dazzling white light, and it stretched its bow and arrows in mid-air, pointing directly at the handsome chariot that fell behind.

"Buzz!"

An arrow is shot with terrifying power!

Uncle Zheng, who was already very obscene from his heart, suddenly mentioned it in his heart,

And at this time,

The figure of the Sword Saint, who was in charge of cutting watermelons before, appeared directly in front of Uncle Zheng, and Long Yuan, who was carrying watermelon juice, came out and collided with the arrow in mid-air.

"Bang!"

The arrows are scattered,

Long Yuan flew back and fell back into the hands of the Sword Master.

The next moment,

The assassin disguised as a savage sneaked back was immediately surrounded by a group of Yan army armor soldiers, the previous arrow may have condensed his qi and blood, he was no longer able to fight, and was pierced through the body by a group of spears in an instant.

The Sword Master turned his head to look at Zheng Fan who was standing behind him.

Uncle Zheng, who was frightened, breathed a sigh of relief,

shrugged his shoulders,

Road:

"Look, I said I didn't just bury you to let you cut the watermelon for me, am I right?"
