The news of the landlord Shangwen is correct, the Huaishang coalition army moved.

Feeling the potential threat of the East China Sea Kingdom, Wang Yue felt that the preparations were mature, Huai Bo's true body had arrived, what were he waiting for in the future?

However, since it is a decisive battle, it is not as simple as taking a team of 40,000 people to drive lightly last time.

Wang Yue first mobilized the old army of Huaishang.

In the land of Jinan, only 500 military vehicles were left in case the army of the local doctors in Cainan copied the back road, and Jixi was only adjacent to the Shen State, not directly bordering the Cai State and the Xiang State, and only 200 military vehicles were left for those who were not on the front line.

The remaining 1,300 were in military chariots, 500 were stationed in Jili, and 800 were encamped on the main road at the junction of Jili and Dingyi in the north.

This troop movement was a bit big, and it took three days to complete.

On the 5th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, all the movements were ready, and the 100,000-strong troops of the elite coalition army in Huaishang together with 800 old troops in military vehicles set out from the border between Jili and Huaixia, and after more than half a day's march, 800 old troops arrived in military vehicles.

At this time, the Cai Guo troops stationed under Huai were all ready, just waiting for the Huaishang coalition army to camp under the city, and then rest for one night to attack the city the next day, but will the Huaishang army really attack the city?

This is a question that exists in the hearts of all the generals of Wu Fengqi and the Wu family.

Because the besieging side usually has a much better force than the defending side, relying on the number of people to level the geographical advantage, there is a chance of victory.

Now the Huaishang Army, no matter how you look at it, the personnel is less than 2,000 times, and it is slightly lower than Huaixia City.

It's just that if they don't attack the city, how can the Huaishang army fight them in a decisive battle?

From this point of view, no matter what, the Huaishang army is bound to lose.

Their doubts were explained by Wang Yue after the Huaishang army camped for a day.

After a day of camping and resting, the 100,000 elite coalition troops of Huaishang began to slowly unfold outside the city.

Wang Yue divided the 100,000 troops into four teams, three of which each had 30,000 troops, which were arrayed in the old city of Huaixia City, as well as the south gate of the west city on the east and west sides, and one 10,000 troops and 800 military vehicles were in reserve.

"I didn't expect that the Huaishang army really chose to attack the city. Wu Di sighed: "If this is the case, he has already lost this battle." ”

Wu Dingguo said: "He is also forced to have a last resort, there is a threat from the East China Sea Kingdom, if he can't win a quick battle, he will definitely be defeated in the future, but we don't need to be happy too early, it is impossible for the son of the snake to come to attack the city knowing that he will be defeated." ”

"Father said, 'Snake Yu Gongzi has the basis to break the city and defeat me?" Wu Di exclaimed.

"General Wu, look, what is the Huaishang army doing?" The infant suddenly pointed to about a mile in front of the city, and the Huaishang elite coalition army was in front of the formation, and everyone suddenly followed the baby's point and looked towards the front of the city.

I saw that whether it was Huaishitahara Castle or the new city left and right, a mile away, there were a large number of craftsmen, samurai, and folk husbands in activities, and a large number of timbers that had been made long ago were carried by the folk husbands, and one by one under the command of the craftsmen, each of them was inserted into the ground, and then more timber was connected by them like magic.

In less than half an hour, three wooden platforms as high as four zhang and one zhang higher than Huaili City have been formed.

Dongcheng, Wu Fengqi took a deep breath, his face became extremely solemn, and said to Shang Wen: "The Huaishang army is going to set up crossbows on a high platform to bombard our army condescendingly, with its range, the head of the city and about two miles in the city are within its coverage. ”

"If our army cannot destroy him, or go out of the city to fight him, he will bombard him in the south today, and move to the east and northwest tomorrow. ”

"My lord, in this way, no place in Huaixia City is a safe place. ”

Shang Wen frowned, and said to the warrior on the side: "Mr. Chuangong, tell him to bring the crossbow that has been made to the city." ”

"One, two, three. "One, two, three. "On the high platforms everywhere, the Huaishang warriors shouted trumpets in their mouths, vigorously pulled the ropes, and hoisted the ballistas and their ammunition from below to the high platform.

Wu Di counted them and said to Wu Dingguo: "Father, this time there are as many as forty-two crossbows in the Huaishang Army, what should I do?"

Forty-two ballistas, with the power of the elm, can only operate twelve, and are assigned to the middle elevated platform.

The ballistas operating on the high platforms on the left and right were the five serpentine warriors transferred by Wang Yue for this decisive battle.

These five serpentine warriors can all download the mana operation mode provided by him directly from the broiler network, so that they can naturally learn the special mana of the male loser.

Their strength was inferior to Gongyiyu, and they could only operate six ballistas, three of which were assigned to the Shang clan in the east, and were in charge of eighteen ballistas, which was considered a key target, and the other two were used to deal with Cai Guoshi.

"Mr. Gong is here, Mr. Gong is here. At the head of Dongcheng City, the warriors shouted loudly, and Shang Wen and Wu Fengqi hurriedly went to greet them.

At this moment, Wang Yue smiled, and the snake big, snake two, and snake three who were stationed on the high platform in Dongcheng all appeared in their heads, and then in the image, they went to the city with Mr. Gongyi, and the samurai carrying the ballista and the ballista itself lit up red together.

The snake lord and the others all ran the mana line in unison, pulling the six ballistas under their control to adjust the firing angle, and the interesting thing was that they actually had images of six ballistas aiming at the direction in their heads, and there was a crosshair in the center of the image.

"Lock on to the target, fix the ballista, get ready. The snake raised his hand high, and the second and third snakes were ready.

"Put. With the command, the three samurai picked up their sledgehammers and hammered the trigger violently.

Before he came to the city, Gong Yiban's complexion changed suddenly, and he didn't care about greeting Wu Fengqi, Shang Shi and others, and after rolling and hiding in an extremely indecent posture to a battlement, Wu Fengqi and Shang were also taken aback and hurriedly followed suit.

"Move the ballista out of the city. Shang Wen had time to shout at the warrior carrying the crossbow, but how could he be in time?

"Bang!!Bang!Bang!" Eighteen stone bullets suddenly blasted from a mile away, smashing the warriors and soldiers stationed at the head of the city, as well as the two crossbows that had just been carried up, and blood flowed in an instant.

"Damn. Shang Wen said hatefully, and Wang Yue collected "evil gold" (iron), carburized steel by refining tools, and mass-produced ballistas on a small scale, unlike the key parts of the ballista, Shang Wen's ballista was made with a small number of qualified demon beasts, and even the bones of the gods' true body were handed over to the public to create them, and each ballista was hard-won, and now before it appeared, it was destroyed by the Huai Shang Army, how can this make him not anxious and hateful.

Almost as soon as the stone bullet hit, he quickly got up and ran over while the ballista of the Huaishang Army was loading and charging, and observed the key parts of the two destroyed ballistas one after another, and found that there was no damage, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

With a few days of understanding, he is no stranger to ballistas, and knows what the shelves of ballistas are, even ordinary wood can be made, only the crossbow body and tendon strings of bearing force are the most valuable, as long as these are not damaged, even if the ballista is broken, the public can call a few family children to build another one at any time.

At this time, Wu Fengqi also stood up, carefully checked the distance between the city head and the high platform, and ordered repeatedly: "Transporting the Xuanwu car to the city head first." ”

"Transporting the Xuanwu cart to the city?"

Shang Wen was slightly puzzled, wasn't the Xuanwu car built for field battles?

But he soon figured out that because he was inexperienced, he was not prepared to fight a ~ artillery battle with the Huaishang army before, so he did not place the ballista in advance, and as a result, the Huaishang army took the lead in setting up the ballista, resulting in them having no chance to place the ballista.

It's different to bring the Xuanwu car up.

The tortoiseshell protection of the Xuanwu car can resist the ballista stone projectile and gravel shot, and there are three bows and nine oxen crossbows in the car, and the firing range can reach up to two miles, which can completely withstand the ballista attack and destroy the artillery array on the opposite side.

"Quick, didn't you hear General Wu's order? ”

Wu Fengqi hurriedly added: "Send a few high-ranking warriors to transport." ”

Why send a high-ranking samurai, because the Xuanwu car is too heavy, thick bronze turtle shell, thick bronze wheel, axle, bracket and external earthen bag, a car is full of 10,000 catties, nearly five tons, let ordinary samurai to carry, ten samurai are not enough, it is better to call a few powerful upper-rank samurai to move.

The orders of the two were quickly implemented.

Immediately under the city, there were four high-ranking warriors, each carrying a corner of the Xuanwu chariot, which was extremely easy, and they went up to the city with a rush. (To be continued.) )
