Chapter 319: Helpless

Listening to Chu Chen's unreasonable questioning, Ren Tianxing did not look annoyed, he still smiled, he owed slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Can our army attack Shuangfeng City?"

Chu Chen's old face turned red when he was asked by Ren Tianxing, and he said, "I think there is a chance." ”

"It seems that my opinion is very different from that of General Chu. With the defense of Twin Peaks City and the toughness of the Jin Army, I am afraid that even if we attack for three days in a row, our army may not be able to enter Twin Peaks City. ”

Hearing Ren Tianxing say this, Chu Chen asked, "Does Ren Shuai think that our army can't break through the hegemony pass?"

Ren Tianxing blinked, then smiled, and said in a non-questionable manner: "Attacking the city and pulling out the fortress is not my forte, and in tomorrow's battle, I will rely on General Chu a lot." ”

The implication of his words was that he thought that Chu Chen had nothing wrong with commanding the siege battle, and he would still be responsible for commanding the entire army to attack the city tomorrow.

These words alleviated the depression and embarrassment in Chu Chen's heart a lot, and he said with rare politeness: "Ren Shuai is too modest, who doesn't know that Ren Shuai is an invincible and invincible general?"

Ren Fang smiled on his back and didn't say anything more.

After exiting the Chinese military tent, Chu Chen said to his subordinates proudly while walking towards his own camp tent: "Ren Tianxingtu is just a false name, when it comes to fighting a tough battle, don't you have to rely on us to command the battle?"

The generals of the You army also laughed, and said flatteringly: "Presumably Ren Tianxing has long admired the prestige of the general!"

When Chu Chen heard this, he was even more proud, and laughed.

On the other side, the generals of the Yan Army were very puzzled by Ren Tianxing's decision.

In their opinion, Chu Chen's siege strategy was unskillful, and it was completely a hard-fought attack, resulting in heavy casualties on his side.

Adjutant General Jin Zhuo asked curiously, "Why doesn't the general personally command the battle?"

Ren Tianxing sighed softly and said, "Twin Peaks City is strong. Even if I were in command, the result would be the same. ”

The generals looked at each other, and no one said anything.

The next day, the Youyan coalition army came out of the camp again and started a siege battle.

With the lesson of the previous day, Chu Chen also learned to be obedient this time. Instead of fighting and rushing, he pushed the thousands of stone throwers of the whole army onto the battlefield, and the personnel were not enough, and first used dense stone bullets to hit Twin Peaks.

Thousands of heavy stone throwers, continuous stone projectiles, the power is so great, the ground shakes the mountains, the sky is dark, and the head of the Twin Peaks City on the opposite side can not stand at all. The soldiers of the Jin army all took refuge in the city or behind the city walls, listening to the continuous crash above their heads, and people's faces were pale and bloodless.

The blow of such a density makes it almost impossible to find a good place at the head of the long and narrow city, the ground is full of holes, and the city defense facilities such as rolling logs, stones, and oil pots that were originally piled up on the head of the city have also suffered great damage, and the rolling wood and stones are scattered all over the ground, and the oil pot is overturned and broken. Bows and trebuchets turned into piles of rotten wood, and bundles of arrows were smashed into pieces......

The walls of the city have been riddled with holes from the impact of stone bullets. The body was incomplete, but the opponent's stone thrower had no intention of stopping, and the soldiers of the Jin Army in the city even doubted that the other party was going to fight like this all day.

The continuous ejection continued from morning to noon, and it was only then that it finally came to an end, but then it came to an end. The siege team of the Youyan coalition began to advance.

As on the first day, the main force of the You Yan coalition army was divided into several groups, one group after another, maintaining a strong offensive.

As the stone catapult stopped, the Jin army, which was hiding under the city wall, also rushed to the top of the city. When the people came up, they were dumbfounded, and the city wall was full of rubble, rotten wood, and pits, and there was not even a place to stay.

However, the generals in the Jin army reacted quickly, and immediately issued an order that the whole army should quickly clean up the city wall, and put together what could still be used, and push down the city wall if it could not be used, and at the same time, let the rear immediately carry over new city defense weapons to fill it.

The Jin army in the city was very busy, when the enemy army besieging the city entered the firing range, the archers of the Jin army were already in position, under the orders of the generals of each corps, people twisted their bows and arrows, and launched a volley at the enemy troops outside the city.

Most of the crossbow beds that were originally erected on the city were destroyed, and the Jin soldiers hurriedly moved a batch from the city, at this time the city wall was very lively, the Jin army in front of the row was firing arrows, and the soldiers behind were pushing the crossbow beds from time to time, in addition, the soldiers holding the rolling wood and stones were also shuttling constantly.

After a whole morning of stone bullet strikes on Shuangfeng City, Chu Chen thought that the resistance of the Jin army would be weakened a lot, but he was wrong, the Jin army's counterattack was still fierce and abnormal, the arrows shot down from the city were as dense as raindrops, and the stone bullets shot out of the city were as many as hail, all of which brought huge damage to the You Yan coalition army.

The Jin army hates the enemy's trebuchet here, and the You Yan coalition also hates the wind army's trebuchet, this weapon is too powerful to prevent it if you want to, and the lethality is amazing.

Chu Chen sent the cloud chariot in the Yan army to the battlefield.

The cloud car is similar to the arrow tower, the volume is smaller, but the height is higher, up to four or five zhang, which is specially used to spy on the situation in the city during the siege.

Chu Chen asked the soldiers on the cloud chariot to find the location of the Jin Army's trebuchet, and then moved his heavy trebuchet forward, using the advantage of range to attack the trebuchet in the city.

But the cloud car is relatively fragile, and if you want to get close to Twin Peaks, it is not so easy to spy inside Twin Peaks.

The Yan army dispatched a total of five cloud vehicles, and only one of them was an intact battlefield, but it finally fulfilled its mission and found out the location of the trebuchet in the city.

After receiving the exact information, Chu Chen immediately ordered his own stone thrower to move forward one mile and drop stone projectiles into the city one mile away from Twin Peaks.

When the heavy trebuchet was two miles away from Twin Peaks, the crossbow arrows on the head of the city could not shoot it, but now it is close to one mile, and now it can be within the range of the crossbow arrows.

The soldiers of the Jin army did not know what the enemy commander's sudden nerves were, and why they pushed the catapult so close to their side, but this opportunity was too rare, and it was a good time to destroy the enemy's heavy weapons.

The Jin army adjusted the position of the crossbow bed that had just been carried to the city, let the enemy's siege phalanx, and the arrows were aimed at the opponent's heavy stone thrower.

Before the You Yan coalition army could shoot stone bullets into the city, the crossbow arrows on the city came first.

The bolts of the city-breaking crossbow are said to be arrows, but they are actually wooden stakes wrapped in iron sheets, which can be smashed into pieces when they hit the wooden frame of the stone thrower.

As the crossbow arrows continued to fly over, dozens of heavy stone throwers were damaged in an instant, and Chu Chen, who was watching from behind, ordered in a frightened voice to quickly withdraw his own stone throwers.

Yan Guo's heavy stone throwing machine was just like this, and hundreds of them were shot and destroyed.

This big stuffy loss made Chu Chen feel as if he had swallowed a fly and was stuck in his throat.

However, knowing the power of the bow and crossbow in Twin Peaks, he basically gave up the idea of smashing the opponent's trebuchet.

The siege battle lasted from noon until it was dark, and Chu Chen ordered the whole army to retreat.

After two days of fierce attacks, it was fruitless, and Shuangfeng City was still firmly in the hands of the Jin army, and at this time, Chu Chen, who was full of confidence, also began to be at a loss.

He knew in his heart that if he continued to consume like this, even if his side could finally successfully occupy Twin Peaks City, the price he would pay would be too much, and he didn't know how many soldiers would be killed and wounded in battle!

Now, Ren Tianxing still has no intention of taking over the command, on the first day of the siege, he still went to the battlefield to watch the battle, and on the second day of the siege, he did not even come out of the camp, and the complete command was handed over to Chu Chen.

This made Chu Chen feel even more pressure, at this time, he wanted to return the command to Ren Tianxing, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only continue to be the commander-in-chief of the siege.

After two days of fierce fighting, the casualties of the You Yan coalition army were not small, and the soldiers were all exhausted, and on the third day, although the main force of the You Yan coalition army came out of the camp again, it was no longer advancing, Chu Chen just ordered his own heavy stone thrower to keep shooting stone bullets to hit the city defense of Shuangfeng City.

With the lesson of the previous day, the Jin army also gained experience this time, most of the city defense weapons were not left in the city, all of them were moved to the city, and there were only some rolling logs and stones left on the city wall, which were not afraid of smashing and were not distressed even if they were destroyed.

This time, the stone throwing machine of the You Yan coalition army lasted longer, from morning to afternoon, and when it was almost evening, the siege troops of the You Yan coalition army went to the battlefield, and seeing that the counterattack of Shuangfeng City was still very fierce, Chu Chen hastily ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.
