Chapter 103: The Great Pilgrimage 29

readx;

c_t; The dock fort owned by Qin Min is considered to be very primitive and relatively backward in appearance compared to many dock forts in later generations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [a lot of good-looking novels] But it is undeniable that the pattern of Qin Min's dock fort is more inclined to the military fortress construction policy of this period.

And in terms of size, the length and width of Qin Min's dock fort are about two hundred meters each, which means that this dock fort can gather a team of about five hundred people and arrange a relatively complete defense system, so after Chen Heng accepted Zhang Jiashi's edict and the arrangement between the two places, he did not take it lightly, but ordered to follow him to attack the Qin army and county soldiers in Shang County and Yan County where Qin Min was located, and with the help of the Liaoning County soldiers who were used as material transportation, two rushing vehicles and six trebuchets were taken out from the armory in Dingxiang City。

Of course, this trebuchet is not a large trebuchet in the style of a baler, but a light trebuchet mounted on a chariot.

The throwing power of this trebuchet is naturally not comparable to that of a baler, but in terms of maneuverability and concealment, this light trebuchet is more suitable for use in this environment.

Of course, Chen Heng used this kind of trebuchet naturally not to throw stones that actually didn't have much effect, but to throw cowhide bags filled with improved viscous fire oil.

This viscous oil has a poor explosive burning ability, but its continuous burning ability and its difficulty in extinguishing are stronger than those of clay oil tanks with explosive effects.

Moreover, the weight of the cowhide bag is much lighter than that of the clay pot, and the throwing distance of this viscous oil is farther than that of the clay oil tank, which is enough to make up for the "weakened" throwing distance of the light trebuchet because of the lack of throwing strength.

......

But Chen Heng knew that Zhang Jiashi did not plan to exterminate the Qin Min family, because the person who read the edict to Chen Heng was Lu Goujian, the deputy leader of the intelligence group under Zhang Jiashi.

After Lu Goujian read out the edict to Chen Heng, he told Chen Heng about Zhang Jiashi's arrangement in this regard, that is, after breaking through the defense system of Wubao, he would lead more than a dozen good men to kill in Wubao and take Qin Min's young son away.

After Chen Heng heard Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, he was a little stunned, because according to his understanding, Qin Min's actions can be said to be not too much for their family to die a few times. But Zhang Jiashi's arrangement naturally would not kill Qin Min, because after sending troops to attack Qin Min's dock fort, if Zhang Jiashi really killed Qin Min, he would naturally not do this kind of stupid thing that is undoubtedly taking off his pants and farting.

After all, since they all want to exterminate Qin Min, there is essentially no difference between dying in the hands of ordinary county soldiers and dying in the hands of the masters of the intelligence group.

As if knowing Chen Heng's doubts, Lu Goujian said lightly after putting away the edict: "The king doesn't want the rebellion against Qin Min to end up, so he ordered me to snatch out one of Qin Min's young sons, and then send them to the Jiangshui area, so that some innocent couples who have no children can adopt." In this way, Qin Min's child will naturally be able to live, and in the absence of accidents, he will naturally not know his original identity, which will bring unexpected trouble to the Great Qin Empire and the king; ”

After hearing Lu Goujian's words, Chen Heng was slightly stunned, because he really didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi actually didn't plan to kill Qin Min's entire clan to set an example, but thinking of Zhang Jiashi's character, Chen Heng was relieved after coming back to his senses.

Because Zhang Jiashi, who didn't plan to do this, was not the Zhang Jiashi he knew.

Perhaps many people think that Zhang Jiashi has experienced so many things, and his character will inevitably undergo some changes. However, a small number of people, including Chen Heng and Yao Yong, know very well that Zhang Jiashi has not changed much, and what he has changed may be the improvement of his status, which has a certain degree of influence on his actions and thinking.

But no matter what, since Zhang Jiashi has this arrangement, Chen Heng will not have any dissatisfaction, after all, if it is loyal to Zhang Jiashi, although Chen Heng is not a part of Zhang Jiashi's robe, he will not raise any objections to Zhang Jiashi's reasonable opinion.

Since Zhang Jiashi was open to Qin Min, and he also specially sent a master like Lu Goujian to assist, then for Chen Heng, there was not much he had to do in this regard.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

After receiving the order to attack the Dock Fort, the nearly 4,000 Qin army soldiers hidden in a valley a few kilometers away, under the command of Chen Heng, quickly integrated the formation, and then advanced towards the Dock Fort.

In the team, Lu Goujian and more than a dozen assassin rangers under his command, pretending to be ordinary officers and soldiers of the Yanjun County Army, followed Chen Heng's personal army team and went to the target area together.

This amount of county soldiers naturally couldn't hide it for too long, and after approaching the area where Qin Min's dock fort was less than a kilometer away, the scouts in front gave back the information, saying that Qin Min's dock fort quickly closed the door.

Chen Heng, who heard such news, couldn't help but snort coldly: "Stubborn." ”

Because after Chen Heng accepted the corresponding arrangement of the company, he also said the order he gave to Chen Heng, because Zhang Jiashi had already put the temporary decision in the hands of the company.

At the same time as he gave the order to attack, he asked the herald to convey a sentence to Chen Heng: "If he resists stubbornly, then the chicken and dog will not stay." ”

Although Chen Heng shuddered a little when he heard this, as a soldier, Chen Heng accepted such an order, and naturally there would be no change.

Perhaps, the sudden appearance of the army frightened the personnel in the dock fort, so they closed the door to death, but such a thing is not something that Chen Heng can change. This can only be said to be Qin Min's actions, so that he can't have any confidence in some things. For Qin Min, this is more of a self-inflicted result.

......

The Qin army's county troops stopped more than 700 meters away from the dock fort, and after the army formed a formation, Qin Min quickly sent hundreds of knights in the team to patrol other areas that were not the direction of the Qin army's troops' attack, so as to prevent the personnel in the dock fort from breaking through to other places.

Of course, before this, there were more than a hundred Qin knights scattered in several directions of the Dock Fort, so as to prevent the Dock Fort's personnel from abandoning the Dock Fort and leaving before the army attacked.

If the people of the dock fort really planned to flee all, then it would naturally be difficult to resist the other party's breakthrough with just these more than 100 people, but the Qin family seemed to be very confident in the defense ability of their dock fort, and they did not plan to leave quickly after seeing the arrival of the army, but closed the gate of the dock fort and prepared to defend it to the death.

Chen Heng is naturally indispensable for such a situation, after all, if the people of the Qin family really plan to leave together, maybe he will be more troublesome, but the dock fort is always a kind of defensive building, if the other party leaves like this, I am afraid it will really be unexpected for Chen Heng.

And Chen Heng also vaguely knew that this dock fort seemed to have concentrated a lot of the Qin family's various business income in the past few years, if the Qin family really left like this, I am afraid that the courage required would be greater than that of a strong man breaking his wrist.

Under such a premise, Chen Heng did not make too many preparations, and furthermore, if there were too many people lurking around the dock fort, then for this operation, it was very likely that there would be a matter of surprise, and if the location of the army was revealed because of this, Chen Heng naturally did not know what he should do.

Although he himself was able to command his soldiers to attack without waiting for the order of the man, for Chen Heng, this kind of thing was not what he wanted to see.

......

The officers and soldiers of Qin waited for Chen Heng's order to make the next move, and the captain of the Shangjun County who followed Chen Heng's action communicated with Chen Heng in a low voice: "Captain Chen, would it be better for us to communicate with the people of this fortress?"

The captain of this Shang County didn't know too many things, not that he was afraid of death, but that he knew that such a dock fort was not something that ordinary people could build. If you attack like this, you might get into some trouble.

After Chen Heng heard the words of this captain, his mood was also a little complicated, after all, this captain's suggestion was generally the safest. But there is no doubt that since the other party has chosen such a path, even if Chen Heng really intends to follow the advice of this captain, I am afraid that the effect he can get will not be too good. In that case, it's better not to say anything at first.

And Chen Heng, who thought of this, shook his head slightly: "No need, the county guard was ordered by the king to let Bendu Lieutenant command this operation, Bendu Lieutenant thinks that the other party is unlikely to follow our persuasion and surrender like this, since this is the case, let's attack directly." ”

"This ...... After hearing Chen Heng's words, the captain groaned for a while, and still clenched his fists and asked Chen Heng for the next order.

Because this captain himself knows one thing very well, that is, no matter what, since such an order has already been deployed, it is not surprising that even if he says some reasonable ideas, Chen Heng will not even accept this kind of suggestion.

And for such a thing, this lieutenant is not a stranger. After all, he is also a veteran who participated in the clean-up operation in the Samhan area, and has made a lot of meritorious contributions in this regard, if it weren't for this, he would have been just a tun commander back then, and he would not have been promoted to a lieutenant in just a few years;

Of course, in the war of the previous year, this captain was originally only a small two or five hundred masters, but in the offensive and defensive battles in the Jimo area, one of the walls he guarded repelled the onslaught of the Chu army many times, and killed and injured a lot, if not, he wanted to be promoted to a captain in a short period of time, I am afraid it is still impossible.

So, in that respect, the lieutenant had no other sense of what he was going to do.

......

And after Chen Heng gave the order to attack, the Qin army's strong crossbowmen covered the catapult to the effective throwing range of the catapult.

The task of these crossbowmen is to concentrate their forces to cover the catapults throwing cowhide oil bags into the dock fort, if the Qin family's crossbowmen on the walls of the dock fort dare to resist, then what these crossbowmen need to do is to suppress the opponent's firepower at the head of the city.

It stands to reason that Chen Heng should use those two punches at this time. However, Chen Heng received the corresponding information, making it clear that there were no less than ten bed crossbows in this dock fort, and if it concentrated the bed crossbows and shot at the slowly advancing rushing vehicles, then it would undoubtedly be a disaster for these rushing vehicles.

After all, the crossbow of the bed crossbow can still achieve a relatively easy penetration effect for those rushing cars covered with iron sheets.

Therefore, the rushing cars are sent out at this time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to complete their own tasks.

......

At this time, a scar-faced strong man who was responsible for commanding the guards composed of outlaws who commanded Qin Min to collect at the head of Wubao City looked at the Qin army outside the city with an unswerving face. Because he was once a lieutenant in Tian Qi's army, he knew very well that the Qin army's arrival this time was to target this dock fort.

But he couldn't give the order to attack first, but had to wait for the order from his own brother Qin Jiao, whom he had been looking down on, but who was more trusted by Qin Min.

Qin Jiao and Qin Min's personalities are completely different, if Qin Min is an ambitious person who is also quite capable and convincing this scar-faced man, then Qin Min's younger brother is a foolish and incompetent, but quite greedy and lustful person.

Although the scar-faced man has not joined the Qin family for too long, he knows that Qin Jiao can be said to be the biggest culprit of the Qin family's many things that are not human, especially his scourge to some villages in Liaoning County, which is more cruel and even unacceptable than some bullies he knows.

Of course, this scar-faced man didn't know Qin Min's rebellious behavior, if he knew Qin Min's way of death, many of which were self-inflicted, I am afraid he would not accept Qin Min's solicitation of him, after all, Qin Min gave him a lot of money, but he had to have a life to spend it.

It's a pity that the scar-faced man didn't know these things, so he could only wait anxiously for Qin Jiao's order.

At this time, Qin Jiao was hugging a girl in his room who was sleeping through some means more than a month ago. And a few of his servants who were working for the tiger were outside Qin Jiao's room, and the people with the scar-faced man were not allowed to disturb Qin Jiao.

If it weren't for the strength of these people, who were a few good people arranged by Qin Min to protect Qin Jiao's safety, I am afraid that the person who reported the news would have directly dealt with these bastards.

But before Qin Jiao could be woken up, several oil bags lit with flames fell from the sky, and these oil bags quickly burned after falling to the ground.

And because of the accuracy problem, these oil bags did not cause any damage, and basically burned slowly on the ground.

But as more and more oil bags fell, some of the roofs of the houses were also set on fire......
