Chapter 15: Capturing Lu Ying Alive
Before they could evacuate the wounded, the soldiers on the hill began to scream again, catering to the arrival of the second wave of attacks. At this time, there was a panic in the city, and the soldiers who were not left were also panicked, and they shot arrows indiscriminately. Unfortunately, how can the range and power of a bow and arrow compare to that of a strong ballista?
The strong ballista with ten arrows fired in a row projected two thousand arrows in these two waves of attacks, but these two thousand strong crossbow arrows caused Lu Ying's troops to lose more than half.
is not an ordinary strength that can be described, although Lu Ying suffered defeat at this time, he did not regret being an enemy of Zhang Lang, on the contrary, he admired him a little, and he could create such a powerful weapon.
While the Jiangdong soldiers were busy preparing for the second ten-wave attack, Zhang Lang raised his hand to signal to stop the attack. When Huang Xu saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers beside him to stop the attack on Jiqiu.
Guo Jia knew that Zhang Lang actually didn't want to kill Lu Ying, hoping that he would not die in the first wave of attacks, but the sunset had gradually set in the west, and there were signs of darkness.
Guo Jia said anxiously: "Lord, time is running out. If you can't attack the hill, I'm afraid you will be dragged past the appointed time by them. Seeing that Zhang Lang didn't react: "Maybe, Lu Ying has already been buried in the first wave of attacks." ”
Zhang Lang raised his head violently, and the expression in his eyes was not sadness, but murderous aura: "No, Lu Ying can't die so easily." I'm wondering how we're going to get through this trap! ”
At this time, Pang Tong, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two, came over with a smile when he heard this: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, Lu Ying is indeed a talent, and he shouldn't just die." As for breaking this trap, the big array! The subordinates have a foolish plan, but they will definitely be able to break this formation. ”
Zhang Lang became interested, turned around and said to Pang Tong: "Oh! Shi Yuan's plan, let's talk about it quickly. ”
"Haha...... The subordinates have all said that this is a fool's plan. I hope the lord doesn't be surprised! In fact, I have already discussed this matter with Fengxiao, and if I rely on my uncle to solve the battle, I am afraid that I will miss the time. So, we've already figured out how to crack the trick. Pang Tong smiled.
At this time, Zhang Lang's mood and appetite were hoisted to a very high position by Pang Tong, and he asked urgently: "Shiyuan, Fengxiao, you should say it quickly." I already had a way, and I still hid it. ”
Guo Jia smiled: "The way has been there for a long time, but we still have to rely on this catapult." ”
After being reminded by Guo Jiayi, Zhang Lang suddenly realized: "You mean to aim the catapult at those mechanisms, and then use the stones launched by the catapult to trigger the mechanisms?" ”
"Haha...... Exactly! Pang Tong replied.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, you have to put it off until now, you should have done it in the first place! Why waste so many arrows? Zhang Lang asked.
"Never!" Guo Jia is colorful.
"Why not?"
"My lord, then Lu Ying has the luck mentality of fighting with us, hoping that it can drag on for ten days, and if we break his formation early in the morning, what do you think will happen to him?" Pang Tong asked rhetorically.
"Judging from these contacts with Lu Ying, I estimate that he will fight to the death with our army." Zhang Lang replied without thinking.
"That's it, if Lu Ying fights to the death with our army, this battle will be difficult to fight, even if the armies of Huang Gai and Zangba join forces, it will not be easy to capture Jiqiu City. Therefore, we must use the power of the crossbow to defeat Lu Ying's archers and the soldiers on the castle tower first, and when it gets dark, we will start to throw stones at the trap. The use of the ballista to divert his attention also has the advantage of striking the condescending soldiers on the castle tower. Waiting for the mechanism to be broken, at that time, Lu Ying's department, even if it was undefeated, was also hit hard. And the officers and men of our army are waiting for work with leisure. At this time, rush past and break through the city walls to minimize the damage. Pang Tong explained in detail the usefulness and usage of each link.
Zhang Lang looked at Guo Jia and Pang Tong with strange eyes: "That's right, cooperate well in the future." Finally, he shouted a slogan used in the troops: "Unity is strength!" The shouting was so loud that most of the Jiangdong soldiers also heard Zhang Lang's shout.
The sky gradually melted into the night, and the land began to darken, but the crossbow carts continued to attack the city of Jiqiu. At this time, Guo Jia waved his hand to a small hill not far behind him, only to see that a soldier who was still standing there just now disappeared immediately.
A moment later, with a rumbling sound, twenty catapults drove towards this side, and as the ballista continued to strike at the enemy, the catapults began to work.
At this time, not only arrows were flying in the sky, but also poisonous arrows and bamboo tubes that flew out of the traps that Lu Ying had arranged for several days, and they also emerged from the ground one by one.
After nearly two hours of bombardment by catapults, almost all the traps were destroyed, and some of the traps were stuck in the stones, which no longer worked.
At this moment, Zhang Lang began to get excited, the real battle only started from this moment, if he hadn't been stopped by Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others, he was already over forty years old, and he really wanted to rush forward with a big knife. A bloody battle.
Under the persuasion of the two, Zhang Lang and the others came to a safe position and watched the development of the entire battle situation. In a few moments, the Jiangdong soldiers rushed to the foot of Jiqiu Castle, although on the way they accidentally triggered the remnants of the trap that were not destroyed by the catapult and died. But that was only a small part, and the tens of thousands of troops in Jiangdong died in this trap, and no more than ten soldiers were killed.
Cao Jun, who had been suppressed by the domineering arrows of the strong ballista and hid in the city tower and could not talk, also felt strange at this time, how could the arrows of the Jiangdong Army stop attacking, followed by a loud shout of killing that shook the sky.
Cao Jun, who had never dared to raise his head, finally stretched out his head and poked out at this time. Lu Ying said: "This must be a trick of the Jiangdong Army, they can't get past my trap so quickly." They must be trying to trick us out. Then shoot it with arrows, brothers, don't be fooled. ”
"Ah......h
At this time, the first Jiangdong army climbed up the city wall of Jiqiu, and the soldiers behind him also began to climb up, and after entering the city tower, Cao Jun knew that the Jiangdong army had attacked, and they stood up and fought hard to kill the enemy.
Cao Jun hasn't understood what is going on? Lu Ying is still wondering, how did the Jiangdong Army come over? But at this time, there was no time for him to think about it, the facts were in front of him, the Jiangdong army had not only passed the trap he had arranged, but had also attacked the tower. Vigorously waving the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand.
