"Wind! Gale! Wind! Gale! ”

Outside the city, tens of thousands of coalition soldiers stood on the wilderness, shouting loudly.

Angry!

Flags cover the sun, and spears are like a forest!

The phalanx of the coalition army was divided into more than ten phalanxes, and the front was full of Wu soldiers wearing crimson robes, helmets and armor, and big shoulders and round waists.

They looked ahead, their expressions resolute, their weapons reaching to the sky.

From the top down, as far as the eye can see, there is a large red wave, and there is no end in sight.

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, who was standing at the head of the city, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw this scene, and his legs and stomach were trembling.

However, he is not in the past!

In the past six months, he has experienced so many things, and he escaped death, which has made Xiong Zhen more or less grow.

But, that's all.

"General, can we hold it?"

Xiong Zhen set his eyes on Shen Zhuliang on the side.

Shen Zhuliang held the battlement with one hand, scanned the grand scene of the crowd under the city, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "King, we must be able to defend it!" ”

"Please believe in the subjects of the Chu State and the soldiers of the Chu State!"

"The people of Chu will never let their monarch down!"

As soon as he heard this, Xiong Zhen's face couldn't help but feel a little hot, this was a shame for himself!

He reminisced about the past, and only felt ashamed.

At that time, if Xiong Zhen held on to the palace of Chu and was not greedy for life and afraid of death, he would fight for it, and he would not have to wait for the reinforcements of Chu State on the front line to arrive.

It's a pity that Xiong Zhen retreated at the critical moment.

"King, if a big war breaks out in a while, please beat the drum for our army and personally supervise the battle!"

"Good!"

Xiong Zhen agreed to Shen Zhuliang's request.

On the battlefield, the role of the monarch is very large.

Even if Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, is just standing here, so that all the soldiers of the Chu army can see him.

This can invisibly increase the morale of the Chu people a lot!

Be with them, kings!

At the same time, Qingji also stood at the place where the Chinese army of the coalition army was located, standing on top of the chariot, looking around.

The capital of Suiguo also looks quite strong.

The city is more than three feet high, and a moat is set up to surround and flow with the city.

The walls are all made of rammed earth and show signs of renovation.

Obviously, the Chu people knew that the Wu army had a powerful siege equipment such as trebuchets, so they made early preparations to build the already strong Suicheng into a stronger one.

Sui Ren would actually help Chu to abuse and help Chu people resist the invasion of the Wu army, which is somewhat incomprehensible.

After all, Suiguo and Chu were still mortal enemies many years ago!

Suiguo is the boss of the "Hanyang Zhuji".

In the past, King Zhao of Zhou and King Mu continued to use troops against Huaiyi, Yu Yue, and Jingchu.

In order to consolidate his control over the southern territory, and at the same time to seize the strategic material "copper" and protect the passage of the southern expedition, Zhou Tianzi also sealed some brothers and nephews surnamed Ji to the upper reaches of the Huaishui and the upper reaches of the Han River.

Imagine the Chinese network

Dozens of feudal states such as Sui, Tang, Cai, Ying, and Xi were established, forming a huge group of feudal countries surnamed Ji, known as "Hanyang Zhuji" in history.

They were responsible for monitoring and blocking the alliance between Jingchu and Huaiyi and Yuyue, and played an important role in stabilizing the south.

From the very beginning, Sui Guo and Chu State have formed an "indissoluble bond".

In a sense, a history of Suiguo is a history of Suichu relations.

After King Wu of Zhou established the country, he successively divided 71 countries, including 15 brothers of King Wu and 40 people of the country surnamed Ji.

As the head of the "Hanyang Princesses", the task of the Sui State is to monitor the southern barbarian country in order to defend Zhou Xinjiang.

The war of Chu lasted for hundreds of years, and finally ended in a complete victory for the state of Chu.

However, the state of Chu did not destroy the state of Sui.

Suiguo was able to survive for a long time, but the mountains and rivers were declining, and the territory was gradually eaten away by the Chu people.

At this time, the state of Chu had completely controlled the surrounding neighbors of Sui and completed the strategic encirclement of the Suizao corridor.

Suiguo also changed from the initial arrival in Chu to resist Chu to pro-Chu and subordinate to Chu, and became a strategic alliance of Chu.

The Chu people have fallen so far, and they have not taken the opportunity to fall into the well!

"Your Majesty, did you order the siege of the city?"

The big Sima Sun Wu beside him asked.

"Siege!"

"No!"

As Qingji's order was conveyed, a hundred trebuchets were pulled to the front line and placed in the front line of the coalition phalanx.

Seriously, Qingji didn't want to use this cruel tactic to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 to capture this city and destroy the main force of the Chu army.

However, there is no way to do it.

The coalition army had 50,000 people, and the Chu army in the city also had more than 50,000 people.

In terms of troops, the Chu army was slightly more than the coalition army.

It's just that the combat strength of these Chu army soldiers is not flattering.

This is not only some improvised soldiers, but also many old men with gray temples and childish teenagers.

Don't say it's a complete set of armor, they may not even be able to do the most basic weapons for each person!

Moreover, Qingji estimated that there were sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and civilians in the city, so even if Shen Zhuliang had mobilized a large amount of grain and grass in Suicheng in advance, how long would it last?

For the coalition army, the best way now is to besiege but not attack, and trap the soldiers and civilians of Chu State in the city.

It wasn't until they were starving all over the land and couldn't hold on anymore that Chu would choose to surrender.

Surrender without a fight!

However, now the coalition forces are under the pressure of the impending attack of the Qin army.

Qingji must first defeat Suicheng and eliminate the main force of the Chu army as quickly as possible, and then he can deal with the Qin army from afar without distraction.

"Put!"

With Sun Wu's order, a hundred trebuchets fired all the stone bullets in the holster in an instant.

"Boom!"

A large number of stone bullets, scattered through the air, reluctantly bombarded the city wall, smashing out one pit after another.

The soldiers of the Chu army on the head of the city couldn't dodge, and some of them were smashed into meat cakes by stone bullets, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The screams of killing pigs were endless.

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, looked at a Chu soldier who was missing arms and legs in front of him, and was still bleeding, he couldn't help but feel acid in his stomach, and almost didn't vomit.

Fortunately, he held back.

After firing a round of stone bullets, another soldier of the Wu army held the stone bullets and placed them on top of the holster.

A trebuchet, loaded with seven pins, or seven holsters, can fire seven stone projectiles in an instant.

However, this kind of human trebuchet requires a lot of soldiers to operate.

"Hey-ha!"

The soldiers with big shoulders and round waists shouted trumpets and pulled the ropes with great difficulty.

Like a slender man, put the rope on your shoulder, pull it with both hands, and pull it forward.

Dozens of people worked together to operate a trebuchet.

"Kachatsa ......"

With a tooth-aching sound, the gears turned, and one after another wooden tips were pulled.

"Put!"

"Boom!"

Another burst of rocks pierced the air.
