Chang Heng stood on the city tower, heard the sound of drums, and saw the soldiers coming, and his heart suddenly tensed.

The battle began.

Whether he can hold it or not depends on the soldiers under his command.

Chang Heng ordered: "Ready!"

The order was given, and all the soldiers went into action, all ready for battle.

Chang looked at the Chu army outside the city, and secretly said in his heart, come on, let the general see how 'elite' the Chu army is.

Tai Shi Ci arrived with his army, looked at Chang Heng, who was guarding the city, and sneered in his heart.

If it was a fortified city like Wu County, let him attack it forcibly, Tai Shi Ci would really find it difficult. But the Biling County in front of him, this small city, wanted to stop his steps, it was really a dream.

Tai Shi Ci ordered: "Catapult preparation." ”

At the sound of an order, one catapult after another catapults were transported.

All catapults were modified by Huang Yueying, and then strengthened the attack 'sex'.

With Tai Shi Ci ordering the attack.

All the catapults turned onto the stones and bombarded the city with a bang.

"Boom!!"

A large rock fell, and a large pit was suddenly smashed out of the city tower.

"Boom!boom!!"

Bombardment after bombardment, constant sounding.

One large stone after another fell, causing the defenders on the tower to hide on the tower and deal with it carefully.

Chang looked sideways in his eyes, but he didn't care.

It's just a catapult trying to break through the city, that's wishful thinking.

Chang Heng constantly let the soldiers dodge to avoid being attacked.

When the catapult attacked, suddenly, another Chu army archer stepped forward.

The archers used all the same 'colored' bows, and the soldiers who fired the arrows were all burly men and strong men. Thousands of archers lined up outside the city, firing arrows to 'shoot'.

"Whoa!"

Bows and arrows rained down, constantly 'shooting' at the castle tower.

Chang Heng looked at it in his eyes, but he was still very calm.

The Chu army's 'shooting' with bows and arrows was also expected by him.

I saw soldiers pick up their shields and put them on their heads. One soldier after another carried their shields, forming a huge shield.

The bow and arrow slammed into the shield, failing to make any impact on the defending soldiers.

Zhu Qi saw it in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Something is not right.

Any general who is proficient in warfare understands that the purpose of using catapults and bows and arrows during the siege is to suppress the soldiers on the tower, so that his own soldiers can get close to the tower and then attack.

However, the soldiers of the Chu army did not.

Tai Shi Ci had no intention of letting the Chu army attack at all.

Why is that?

Zhu Qi's heart was very suspicious.

Zhu Qi looked at Chang Heng and said, "General, Tai Shi Ci is weird. So far, no troops have been sent to attack. ”

Chang Heng said: "Respond to all changes with the same, and do not move for the time being." ”

Zhu Qi nodded.

In the current situation, this is the only way to do.

It's just that Zhu Qi had a bad premonition in his heart, because he felt that Tai Shi Ci came prepared.

At this time, the formation outside the city changed again.

Another group of soldiers rushed out.

In the hands of this group of soldiers was a huge crossbow machine.

There were more than 100 soldiers.

All the soldiers approached the tower and stopped fifty paces away.

The distance of fifty paces is already within the range of the bow and arrow on the tower. But Tai Shici didn't want money and ordered the archers to 'shoot' and attack, and the catapults continued to attack, which led to the Wei army on the city tower not even having a chance to take the lead.

Once you come out, you will be 'shot' by a bow and arrow.

Not to mention, there are also stones constantly bombarding the tower.

All of this led to the suppression of Chang Heng.

Zhu Qi stared out of the city, his eyes fixed on this group of Chu soldiers with huge crossbow machines.

"General Chang, this may be Tai Shici's reliance. ”

Zhu Qi opened his mouth and said.

Chang Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "What is the use of a group of soldiers with crossbow arrows." If you want to 'shoot' through the city tower, that's wishful thinking. ”

When Zhu Qi heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

Perhaps, this is what the Chu army outside the city planned.

The distance of fifty steps was enough for Zhu Qi to see the opponent's crossbow machine and crossbow arrows clearly.

The opponent's crossbow machine is huge, and the crossbow arrows taken out are thicker than a thumb, such crossbow arrows, once 'shot', the lethality will be huge.

Zhu Qi saw that the other party had loaded the crossbow arrows, and then 'shot' the arrows.

"Whew!"

A crossbow bolt burst through the air, slammed into the city wall, and slammed into the wall.

The sharp crossbow arrows directly broke through the wall and pierced into the city tower, and the crossbow arrows were even more buzzing and shaking.

After this crossbow arrow was 'fired', the rest of the soldiers pulled the trigger of the crossbow machine one after another.

A hundred crossbow arrows forged from 'fine' steel, all aimed in the same direction, are all in the position of the first crossbow arrow.

All the crossbow arrows 'shot' away, densely 'shot' into the wall.

Whoa!

The masonry on the castle tower fell down with a clatter, and was greatly damaged by the impact of the crossbow arrows.

After the first round of crossbow arrows, there is a second round of crossbow arrows.

Two rounds of crossbow arrows shot out 200 crossbow arrows forged from "fine" steel.

These two hundred crossbow arrows dug a large pit directly in the wall.

Tai Shi Ci saw the location of the crossbow arrow, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. If he stormed Piling City, the other side had enough defenders, enough weapons and food, and Tai Shi Ci was indeed not easy to attack.

However, Biling City is not a fortified city like Wu County.

Biling City is just a county seat, an ordinary county seat.

Such a city is not difficult to attack.

In particular, the crossbow arrows unique to the Chu State were enough to destroy the city walls.

Tai Shici looked at it, and saw that there were already catapults that began to bombard the position where the bow and arrow were 'shooting'.

The large stones bombarded one by one, and the site that was originally 'shot' by crossbow arrows was damaged, and the wall was shattered, and it could not withstand the attack of the catapult.

After the impact of successive catapults, a large crater appeared in the city wall.

At this time, two more rounds of crossbow bolts were 'fired'.

The crossbow bolts combined with the catapult attack, causing the walls of the castle tower to fall layer by layer.

Zhu Qi risked being designed with a bow and arrow, and after poking out his head to check it, his face changed in fright. He retracted his head and yelled, "General, it's not good. The opponent's crossbow bolts were extremely powerful, coupled with the bombardment of catapults. If this continues, in less than half a day, the city tower will be blasted open a gap. That's not good for us. ”

Chang Heng heard this, and his rugged face twitched slightly.

He originally wanted to garrison Piling City, but in the current situation, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it.

Chang Heng clenched his fists, and his heart was secretly anxious.

Chang Heng said: "Sir, what do you say?"

Zhu Qi's face also showed a solemn look, and said, "General, get ready to break through." But for now, we have to hold on. Wait a little longer. Until the end, you can't break through. ”

"Good!"

Chang Heng nodded.

He has no choice but to hold on now.

Bows and arrows continued.

And the stones kept falling on the towers.

At this time, the city towers were immersed in a rumbling sound.

Even, there was a certain shock.

Chang Heng had no way to fight back, because there was no catapult found in Biling City at all. When there is no catapult to intercept the opponent, his archers are difficult to use, so they can only be beaten passively.

Little by little, time passed.

The holes in the walls that had been bombarded were getting bigger and bigger.

Crossbow bolts 'shoot' at the fire.

Stone strikes.

The clattering wall fell to the ground.

Seeing that the walls on the city tower are getting thinner and thinner, they are already shaky and on the verge of being blown away.

Tai Shi Ci saw it in his eyes, and a bright smile on his face.

Half a day.

He did not spend a single soldier, but only used catapults, crossbows, and bows and arrows to break through the city of Piling.
