Chapter 123: Moving the Arrow Tower
……
In the night, torches flickered under the city walls, Xia Yuancheng sent a slave battalion to hold white flags to collect the corpses under the city, and the Han people also opened the east city gate, and groups of soldiers rushed in and out to collect the corpses of their own sacrificed soldiers. Hundreds of people silently bowed their heads to do things, and when the two sides of the corpse collected saw each other, there was no hostility, and there was more sadness in their eyes.
A one-eyed slave was rubbing on the ground, and when he saw a Han soldier coming over to drag his brother's corpse, he looked around, slowly moved to the Han soldier, and said, "Brother, I'll help you!" ”
The Han soldier raised his eyes, was startled, looked around cautiously, and whispered, "Captain Qiao, why are you?" ”
Qiao Yuan looked around vigilantly and said, "Be quiet, brother, there is a letter here, you give it to the commander......"
The Han soldier quickly took a rag and quickly stuffed it into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
A Xia Yuancheng soldier walked over slowly, staring cautiously at the one-eyed dragon.
Qiao Yuan hunched his waist and said, "Master Jun, I'm helping this brother move the body, there are our people down here!" ”
The Xia Yuancheng soldier snorted and said, "I didn't expect that your relationship is quite good, maybe tomorrow you will meet again in life and death......
Qiao Yuan asked, "Master Jun, do you want to fight tomorrow?" ”
The soldier in Xia Yuancheng glared at the one-eyed dragon and said, "Don't ask, hurry up and work!" After speaking, he glanced at the soldier of the Han army again, and then turned away.
After seeing the Xia Yuancheng soldier leave, the one-eyed dragon whispered to the Han soldier: "Tell the commander that the slave camp is ready and ready to start an incident......
"Understood...... the Han soldier nodded and left quickly.
It didn't take long for Liu Zhibang to get this information, and at this time he stood on the city wall and silently watched the team collecting the corpses under the city, with a solemn expression.
Aya saw Liu Zhibang's face and comforted: "Abang, victory is won by iron and blood, casualties are inevitable, don't be sad......"
Liu Zhibang turned around and smiled at Aya, and said: "The first army is to fight and plot, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then to attack the city, thousands of years ago, human beings have summed up their experience, but Li Jun used the best strategy......
Sighing slightly, Liu Zhibang said again: "The highest level of war is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, I don't know how far that day is, these lives should not die like this......"
Aya looked up at Liu Zhibang, although she was the same height as Liu Zhibang, she liked the feeling of looking up at this man.
Aya smiled and said: "Abang, the higher the realm, the stronger the strength needed, our current strength is like a candle in the wind, where is the qualification to talk about the best strategy, the middle strategy, only by defeating the enemy and hitting them until they are afraid, we will have the right to speak, and only then will we have equal power......"
After listening to Aya's words, Liu Zhibang also nodded and said: "That's right, we only keep winning, and only when the enemy is afraid, they are willing to sit down and negotiate with us on an equal footing, come on, Li Jun, victory always belongs to the strong......"
In the nervous anticipation, there was no attack, this peaceful day made Liu Zhibang feel uneasy, but gave the Han army a peaceful rest all day.
The morning sun rose from the distance above sea level, and wisps of cooking smoke filled the sky above the camp of Xia Yuancheng's army.
Honk......
After the sound of the bull's horn, several mobile siege arrow towers more than ten meters high slowly moved out from behind the jungle, and the slaves of the brigade were driven to push those arrow towers towards the western city wall.
Liu Zhibang looked at those huge war machines coldly, and nodded to the herald beside him, and the herald took out a small flag and waved it outward a few times, and the city suddenly moved.
"Three Hundred Steps......
"Two hundred and fifty steps, ready, shoot ......"
Five bed crossbows fired huge and heavy bronze arrows, each three meters long, made of bronze throughout, with a thick hemp rope tied to the end.
"What's that?" The soldiers on the moving arrow tower were horrified to see several spears rushing straight towards them, and they couldn't help but scream.
Two hundred and fifty steps, still outside the range of Xia Yuancheng's archers, the archers standing on the mobile arrow tower watched five super long arrows fly towards him with ropes, and they couldn't avoid it.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
The three-meter-long bronze arrow pierced through several people, passed through the thick pillars of the tower, and was firmly attached to the tower.
"Pull ......"
"One...... Two...... One...... 2. ......"
Rumble......
The smoke and dust were everywhere, and I don't know how many people were killed, and the slave camp cried and howled for a while, and dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving only the broken wood after the arrow tower fell.
Liu Zhibang...... I'm going to swallow you alive......" Li Jun stood in the distance and saw all this, gritting his teeth and being furious.
Heichai persuaded on the side: "My lord, at this time, you should attack the city with all your might, and don't mess up your position because of a moment of anger......"
Li Jun glanced at Heichai, nodded, and said, "Order, the fourth, seventh, eighth, and tenth regiments will attack the west and south walls for me......"
Honk...... Doodle......
The trumpet of the Han army sounded again.
"Kill......"
The soldiers of Xia Yuancheng waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Han city wall, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"Free Fire ......"
"Ah...... Ah......h
"Kill...... Ah......h
Countless sharp arrows poured down, and the soldiers of Xia Yuan City under the city completely ignored it, stretched out long ladders across the moat, and launched a decisive charge towards the city wall against boulders and arrows.
"Commander, send us out of the city!" The officers of the Han army were eager to try.
Looking at the generals who petitioned, Liu Zhibang shook his head and said: "Li Jun's dragon slaying regiment did not charge, they are waiting outside, just to let us go out to fight with him, you are all the elite of our Han army, you can't fight with them......"
The generals had no choice but to return to their respective teams, and Liu Zhibang left Xia Yong behind.
Xia Yong asked, "Commander, what are your orders?" ”
Liu Zhibang looked at Xia Yong and said, "Commander Xia, you go to Ma San to get the weapon I tailor-made for you, you may be able to use it today......"
Xia Yong left with a puzzled face, Hong Tai went and returned, and said to Liu Zhibang: "Commander, we can't fight with them for a long time, send me out, I promise to complete the task......"
Liu Zhibang patted Hong Tai on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Hong Tai, don't worry, it's not time yet, when it's time for a decisive battle, you naturally have a place to play, you go to the city to supervise the battle first......"
Heichai looked at the battlefield from afar, the offensive and defensive sides were in a stalemate, and the fight seemed to be a little careless.
