Now all that needs to be done is to find out its weaknesses, and Sima Hongyan carefully observed this huge siege vehicle to see where it had loopholes.

On the surface, there are almost no flaws on the outside, and even the rolling wheels are hidden inside the car. The outer surface of the shell is only a small distance from the ground, and the bow and arrow are basically ineffective against it.

If there is still yesterday's wine, it may be of some use to pour it on it and light a fire, but it was all used up yesterday, and there is nothing left. Sima Hongyan couldn't help frowning slightly.

However, Sima Hongyan suddenly remembered a movie he had watched in his previous life, and he forgot the name, but there was a plot in which hundreds of people wanted to catch a criminal, but this guy hid in the underground passage and played hide and seek, not to mention that the person who captured him was so tired, and there was nothing he could do about him. Eventually, a clever man came up with an idea to let the criminal out of the maze on his own, and finally caught him.

Thinking of this, Sima Hongyan saw that the siege vehicle was already close to the city gate, and immediately said a few words to Zhong Liying beside him. Zhong Liying applauded again and again after hearing this, laughed and ran away.

After a while, Zhong Liying came over with a dozen female soldiers and a bundle of straw mats, and after dismantling them, they sprinkled some water on them slightly, so that the straw mats were slightly humid, but not completely soaked. Then Zhong Liying and the female soldiers put the straw mat on the fire and lit it, because it was damp on it, so the lighting was not very smooth, and the half-invisible began to emit ash smoke, and some of the soldiers next to them were choked, tears and snot flowed together, and coughing non-stop.

However, Sima Hongyan didn't seem to be particularly satisfied, and said to a female soldier: "Go to the kitchen and bring some chili peppers!" ”

In the border land, it is quite cold in winter, and the soldiers like to eat some chili peppers to sweat and keep warm, so there are a lot of hanging chili peppers and powdered chili powder in the kitchen. The female soldier didn't know which kind of phoenix master it was, so she simply brought it all.

Sima Hongyan said to Zhong Liying: "Fourth sister, add some ingredients to the straw mat!" ”

Now everyone knows what Sima Hongyan is going to do, and the soldiers come over to help, but they all consciously stand on the upper hand. This blackened reed mat sprinkled with chili pepper is so ruthless that my nose accidentally smells it and chokes it for a long time.

Even Sima Hongyan could feel the choking and pungent lethality when he stood so far away.

At this time, the siege vehicle has begun to storm the city gate, this guy is really not simple, after three or four times, there are some cracks on the city gate, I am afraid that a dozen more times will have to break the city gate.

In order to prevent the mat from being thrown too lightly, some soldiers giggled and tied stones to it.

Everyone saw the direction and position of the wind, and threw it down in twos and threes. Except for the first two bundles that were thrown out a little off, the rest landed exactly around the siege engine.

Everyone, including Sima Hongyan, looked down at the wall with a playful expression, and Ban Jingchong also wondered if this method had any effect, and also craned his neck to look at the city gate below.

I saw that the white smoke was drifting left and right, swaying for a long time, probably due to the unstable air flow below, so the smoke from drilling the attack car was not as smooth as imagined. But who knew by coincidence, the siege vehicle may have wanted to get closer to the city gate, and moved forward a little, just to cover a bunch of smoking straw mats under the car.

The effect was immediate, and after a while, a violent coughing sound came from the siege engine.

Everyone on the city wall remained silent, listening to the movement below, and even if only one or two people coughed at first, they could still hear it clearly on the city wall.

Then more and more coughing began to sound, and even the hammer that had been hitting the door stopped. I heard the sound of coughing and scolding incessantly, followed by a small door being opened behind the siege engine, and a West Vietnamese soldier jumped out of it.

The soldier was so choked that he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't tell the direction when he walked.

Ban Jingchong immediately patted an archer beside him, and the man understood, bent his bow and arrows, and shot the soldier down with a "whoosh". Immediately afterwards, two more West Vietnamese soldiers jumped out, and this time without Ban Jingchong's warning, several archers fired several arrows in succession to kill the two men.

A puff of white smoke wafted out of the back door of the siege car, which seemed to be filled with smoke. Some of the people on the city wall were coughed for a long time by the smoke that floated up, and tears flowed, not to mention the enemy soldiers in the car?

But they already knew that if they ran out, they would be shot, so no one dared to run out of the car after choking like that.

At this time, the enemy soldiers in the car seemed to react and discovered where the smoke came from. Someone kicked the bundle of straw mats out from under the cart and began pushing the siege engine backwards.

To make such a huge siege vehicle move forward normally, it takes multiple people to exert force at the same time and maintain balance. Now the car is in a mess, I can't see things, I cough badly, and I can still tell the direction. As a result, the siege engine spun around in half a circle, and another bundle of smoking straw mats was placed under the car.

Immediately shot to death if they ran out, choking on tears and snot if they didn't run out, these West Vietnamese soldiers were in a dilemma, and they were trapped in a well-guarded trunk.

After a while, the coughing sound in the siege car began to weaken, until there was no more movement, Sima Hongyanchai inhaled so much smoke, the people in the car must have been choked.

Ban Jingchong arched his hand at Sima Hongyan, secretly thinking that this phoenix lord was really witty, and the enemy's siege vehicle seemed to be well-protected and had no flaws. It was actually broken by her in such a simple way, and she didn't spend a single soldier, this kind of witty adaptability is really amazing.

Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha, who were watching the battle from a distance, were all pale, and they couldn't imagine that the secret weapon that they had worked so hard to hide would be so useless. I thought that with this siege vehicle, I could directly break the city gate, and when thousands of troops rushed in, I could capture Yanyue Pass in one day, who would have thought that not only the city gate was not broken, but even the siege vehicle was lost at the door of people's homes.

Looks like we won't be able to get any benefit today! Also lost a well-built siege vehicle.

Yesterday's defeat had already demoralized the Western Vietnamese army, and today's secret weapon siege vehicle was easily solved by the other party, and Xiahou Shuojie began to feel a little anxious. He found that he really underestimated the combat ability of the Yanling army, and also underestimated Sima Hongyan, it seems that the legend that Yanling is the birthplace of famous generals is really true.

originally thought that there would be no famous general in Yanling after Sima Yongcheng, but it turned out that the tiger father had no dog girl. Even this Ban Jingchong is an experienced and well-commanded general.

Having lost the upper hand twice in a row, Xiahou Shuojie must show his real strength. He nodded to Zuo Mansha behind him, and Zuo Mansha's eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted loudly behind him: "The Dragon Tooth Army follow me!" ”

The Dragon Tooth Army is the ace cavalry army cultivated by Xiahou Shuojie, and it is also the most well-equipped cavalry of the Western Yue Army. Their mounts were all the best and fastest horses in Western Vietnam, and the warriors on the horses were well-skilled, and their bow and arrow skills were the top marksmen in Western Vietnam. Their strength lies in the fact that the horses run extremely fast, and the best thing for the cavalry is that they can also penetrate the yang in a hundred steps in a fast gallop, and the arrows are not missing, which can be called flying horse marksmen.

The soldiers who had fought against the Dragon's Tooth Army, who were lucky enough to survive, swore that they would never encounter this terrible army again in their lives, as if the Dragon's Tooth Army was their nightmare on the battlefield.

When he saw the banner of the cavalry coming from the West Vietnam, Sima Hongyan knew that this was the real terrible enemy. Because when they went to investigate the intelligence of the Western Vietnamese army, almost all the spies would mention the name of the Dragon Tooth Army, and among the cavalry of the Five Kingdoms, the Dragon Tooth Army existed like a god.

It is said that even soldiers hiding behind the city walls will be pierced by an arrow from the Dragon's Tooth Army as soon as they show their heads. The cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Army bent their bows and arrows at an extremely fast speed, and from them they drew arrows, set up their bows, aimed, and fired, almost instantaneously. They are also archers, and before you can aim at him in front of the Dragon's Tooth Army, the arrows he shoots have already arrived in front of you, so there is such a big gap.

In many siege battles, under the cover of the Dragon's Tooth Army, the infantry can calmly break through the city gates, because the defenders above them no longer dare to lift their heads. Therefore, as long as the Dragon's Tooth Army is dispatched, any defense of the city head will be useless.

Sima Hongyan turned around and went down the tower, and said loudly to all the generals and soldiers who were ready to attack: "The strongest troops of the enemy have been dispatched. Then we'll go ahead with the plan. Today, we will use practical actions to break the myth of the strongest cavalry in Western Vietnam, and we will let the people of Western Vietnam know that those who violate our Yanling border will not return! ”

All the generals and soldiers shouted excitedly: "Those who invade my Yanling border will not come back!" ”

The Dragon Tooth Army came so quickly, like a whirlwind, it arrived at the city of Yanyue Pass in a blink of an eye. Sima Hongyan hid under the city wall, took out a mirror that had been prepared a long time ago from her arms, and leaned out of the wall to take a look, while she squatted behind the city wall and raised her head to look at the enemy army reflected in the mirror.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the mirror was raised, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow flew in an instant to shatter the mirror, and even shot through the back of the mirror.

Suddenly, Ban Jingchong, who was not far away, shouted loudly: "Lord Feng, hurry up, get out of there!" He shouted and raised his shield to save him.

Sima Hongyan heard the sound of bowstrings fired from bows and arrows under the city, but she didn't care. She wondered if she was hiding behind a wall, could the other party still shoot through such a thick wall? Why is General Ban so nervous?

But immediately Sima Hongyan noticed that something was wrong, and suddenly rolled forward on the spot, rushing towards Ban Jing. Ban Jingchong also arrived in time and covered the shield on the top of Sima Hongyan's head.

"Bell, bell" sounded several times, and more than a dozen arrows fell on the place where Sima Hongyan was hiding just now, and even the shield that Ban Jingchong was holding had smashed a few arrows on it.

Fortunately, Sima Hongyan reacted quickly and dodged in time, and Ban Jingchong rescued quickly, otherwise Sima Hongyan would have been hit by an arrow.

Sima Hongyan was shocked for a moment, the escape from death just now really scared her, and she had to praise in her heart: This first cavalry is really worthy of its reputation, and even knows how to use the principle of parabola to shoot high arrows, so that the arrows flying into the sky can fall freely to attack the enemy hiding behind the wall, which requires an accurate grasp of the height, wind direction, and strength. And I can also anticipate the enemy's planes first, even counting the route I escaped. If it hadn't been for General Ban's rescue just now, I'm afraid I would have become a little hedgehog.
