Chapter 578: The Great Siege Vehicle

Gao Bin shouted like this, the city could hear it clearly, and all the soldiers in the city were angry, and they raised their bows and arrows to aim, as long as the commander gave an order, everyone fired ten thousand arrows at once.

Shu Xinyu heard the sound of a bow opening in the city, and was so frightened that he almost fell.

"You, how can you shout that we are going to surrender!"

Gao Bin was so anxious that he wanted to cry again.

"Didn't you just say we were going to surrender?"

"That's what we can say after we met Lord Dalang, and now we should say that we are here to negotiate, and the two countries will not fight each other!"

In fact, Shu Xinyu was in a hurry, just now he asked Gao Bin to shout surrender, and now it is too late to react.

"Whew-"

The horn on the opposite side blew the horn of attack.

Shu Xinyu's pupils shrank, and he saw thousands of arrows flying on the opposite side, and his eyes showed a look of despair, now is the time to attack, nothing can delay the attack!

At this time, thousands of arrows were fired in the city.

The two let out a terrible scream, and at this moment, they finally tasted what it means to pierce the heart with ten thousand arrows!

The trebuchet of the Great Capital Kingdom made a whirring sound, and the big stones were thrown into the walls of the inner city, Wang Rulin was shocked to see it, but Lin Chengyong stood on the city and looked down coldly.

The inner city is small, and only small trebuchets can be placed, and the range of small trebuchets is not as far as that of large trebuchets, and the power is not great, so they are almost passively beaten.

When a boulder from under the city hits the top of the city, it can destroy a battlement almost at once, and three or four soldiers behind the battlement are either killed or seriously injured.

The place where Lin Chengyong and a few people stood was the command platform at the head of the city, which was the highest, and the trebuchets under the city were thrown at the command platform, but the trebuchet didn't know if it was not accurate, or for some reason, the old man couldn't hit, and a few big stones passed by the command platform, and fell less than ten steps next to Lin Chengyong, smashing the ground into a big pit, but Lin Chengyong didn't even move his eyelids.

After the first round of stone throwing, the city was full of holes, and several sections of the city wall were smashed out of large gaps, which could collapse at any time, but those who were not hit straightened up again.

The Dajing army below was not in a hurry to attack the city, they seemed to be waiting for something.

A moment later, a rumbling sound came from afar.

Lin Chengyong looked into the distance and suddenly gasped.

I saw hundreds of Dajing troops pushing a behemoth towards the city gate, this behemoth was bigger than twenty carts, it was like a big stump, with wheels underneath, and one pointed end, straight towards the city gate.

"Siege engines, they built giant siege vehicles!"

Wang Rulin couldn't help but ask: "How to break the siege vehicle?" ”

Lin Chengyong ordered the herald beside him: "Prepare the archers, light the rocket and shoot it!" ”

"Yesβ€”"

With a single order, thousands of rockets were fired at the siege engine.

Wang Rulin hated it so much that he couldn't help asking: "How did they build such a big siege vehicle, and these trebuchets, didn't we destroy a batch of them a few days ago?" ”

Lin Chengyong nodded.

"Yes, the trebuchets used by Dajing today are several times more than a few days ago, obviously they have not only built siege engines these days, but also built a batch of trebuchets, which are used today!"

"Who made it for them?"

"Hmph, they have an equipment battalion, all of which are our captured craftsmen, and these people will be killed if they don't desperately build siege equipment!"

Wang Rulin asked an elderly forbidden soldier beside him: "Old Qian, if we retreat to the palace, can the palace resist the attack of siege engines and these trebuchets?" ”

The old man frowned and shook his head.

"Although the palace city is tall and strong, it can't withstand being hit like this every day, and a bombardment like this will collapse in seven or eight days at most, but the most troublesome thing is the trebuchet, because the palace is full of palace houses, and if it is smashed by those big stones, it will definitely be smashed, and at that time, the emperor and everyone will have no place to live."

"Is there a way to destroy the trebuchet and kill the craftsmen who built the siege engines and trebuchets?"

This old man is straight, in his early forties, his eyes are sharp, and he looks like a shrewd and capable person, but his two beards have some gangsterism, which makes people stay away from him.

"Commander of the envoy and manager Wang, we have to find a master who can speak the Beijing dialect, put on the clothes of the Dajing army, sneak into their equipment camp while it is dark at night, and kill the key craftsmen, we can do it!"

Lin Chengyong snorted.

"Chief Wang, you don't know, this matter has been arranged twice by the commander, but it is never returned, and the Dajing Kingdom is very well guarded, and our assassination has failed."

Wang Rulin clenched his fists.

"My lord, we have to take precautions, otherwise the inner city will be lost, and the palace city will not be able to defend it!"

Lin Chengyong stroked his beard, his brows still furrowed.

"Last time, I was looking for a master in the army, but I still failed."

Wang Rulin turned his head to look at the old money.

"Old Qian, you are the one who commanded the adults to bring them into the palace, are you sure that you will do this matter?"

This old Qian's name is Qian Dong, one of the four hall masters of Ximen, he fought in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and was later accepted by Liu Erye, last time the master of Mu Tang led the brothers in the door to the east gate to fight the fire, he just didn't go, and then Yue'er transferred him to the forbidden army, so as to facilitate contact with Ximen's brothers at any time, after all, Hu San's guy is extremely unreliable.

The old man thought about it and hugged his fists.

"It's time for my subordinates to go to the soup, but in fact, if I don't go, I'm afraid no one in the forbidden army will be able to go!"

Lao Qian's tone was so big, Wang Rulin was a little surprised.

"Oh, why can't anyone else in the Forbidden Army go?"

Lao Qian smiled, and suddenly said in the words of Dajingguo: "Grandma is a bear, because only Lao Tzu in the forbidden army can speak Da Niao Dajing dialect!" As soon as he opened his mouth, even the tone was the flavor of the Dajing Army.

Wang Rulin was overjoyed, and the people Yue'er found really had the ability.

"Old Qian, why do you speak the words of Dajingguo?"

"Hehe, this one used to walk the rivers and lakes, and the bandits on the grassland outside the gate have also made some friends."

"Okay, great!"

Wang Rulin looked at Lin Chengyong, and Lin Chengyong nodded.

At this time, the arrows under the city rained down on the city, and Lin Chengyong knew that the Dajing army was about to attack the city.

"Manager Wang, you can arrange this matter."

Wang Rulin agreed and patted Lao Qian's shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll leave this task to you, don't embarrass our forbidden army in Miyagi!"

"Yes, the subordinates will complete the task!"

As soon as Lao Qian said this, several forbidden troops on the side asked Wang Rulin to fight.

"Lord Steward, let's go with Lao Qian, it's difficult to be alone, a few more helpers will definitely do!"

Wang Rulin asked Lao Qian: "Do you still want people?" ”

Old Qian pointed to a slightly shorter forbidden soldier.

"It's easy to be exposed when there are too many people, just let the second fat follow me!"

The forbidden soldier's name is Zhou Xiang, nicknamed Er Fat, but he is actually not fat at all, even if he was very fat before, he is now hungry as a stick.

"Okay, then you two."

"Yesβ€”"

Holding a shield, the two retreated to the podium and slid off the pole.

This sliding rod is to prepare for a quick retreat, which is also a foolproof strategy for Lin Chengyong and Murong Xu to prepare for the retreat.

As soon as the second fat landed, he asked: "Old Qian, what kind of plan do you have?" ”

Old Qian snorted.

"Let's find a place to hide, the inner city can't be defended, and when the Dajing army enters the city, we will find a way to kill two lone soldiers first, and then take off their clothes and put them on, and then mix among them to find opportunities!"

This is said lightly, Er Fat knows that it is difficult to do, but at the moment they have no choice.

"So where are we going to hide?"

"There's a Frost Leaf Pavilion at the West Gate, there's a place there, we can hide in it first and come out at night!"

"Okay, great!"

The place that Lao Qian said was the dry well in the backyard, last time Yue'er ordered them to fill in the dry well, but after filling it up, it slowly collapsed again, he knew that there was a black hole there that could drill people in, and he originally planned to fill it up, but he was busy recently, so he forgot about it.

Wang Rulin didn't know what method Lao Qian and Er Fat would use, and his attention was all on the giant siege vehicle at this time.
