Chapter 457: Bo's Good Deed
"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”
After dozens of rounds of stone bullets, the fortified city wall was full of pits, but there was still no trace of being broken.
Sun Wu immediately ordered the drumming to march and officially launched the siege war.
The first round of charges was not launched by the soldiers of Wu, but by the soldiers of the coalition forces from Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang and other countries.
Inspired by the dull and murderous sound of war drums, they carried ladders and carts, and rushed to the city walls without fear of death.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers of the coalition army had been trained with the Wu army in Jinling City long before the battle in Chu, so they had a certain combat effectiveness.
Romance
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Hugh Hugh!"
When the enemy entered the firing range, the crossbowmen of the Chu army at the head of the city immediately opened their bows and arrows and shot a fatal arrow at the attacking enemy.
The Chu people also imitated the Wu crossbow and created a bow and crossbow belonging to the Chu State, although it was not enough for the Wu crossbow in terms of power, but the range was greatly enhanced compared with the general hard bow.
"Ahh
The coalition soldiers who were shot by the crossbow arrows all wailed and fell in pools of blood.
It's okay to be shot in the eyes, thighs, arms, or chest, but if it's in the neck or heart, the blood is pouring in, and you must die.
"Kill!"
The coalition soldiers who rushed to the city wall also quickly opened their bows and arrows and fired back at the Chu people at the head of the city.
Many of the soldiers set up ladders and prepared to climb up to the top of the city.
It's just that the soldiers of the Chu army defending the city are obviously impossible to let them succeed.
Looking at the enemy on the ladder like ants, the soldiers of the Chu army laughed fiercely, and immediately lifted the stones and smashed them viciously.
"Ahh
People who are hit by stones will also be made to break their heads and bleed, and after a scream, the whole person will fall uncontrollably, and several robes will be injured by mistake.
There were many iron pots on the top of the city, and the pots were full of boiling hot water.
When he saw that the enemy was about to climb up, Chu Bing immediately picked up the pot and spoon, scooped a spoonful, and then poured it directly on the opponent's head.
"Ahh
The soldiers who were climbing the ladder were also wailing.
The boiling hot water instantly made his whole skin red and purple, and the severe pain also made it unsustainable, and his body flew upside down like a kite with a broken string.
Arrows, hot water, stones, rolling wood, etc., everything that can cause lethality to the enemy, the Chu army used them one by one, and the effect was remarkable!
"Hey-ha! Hey-ha! ”
"Hey-ha! Bump! ”
More than a dozen coalition soldiers pushed the huge ram and slammed the gate of the city with it.
Whenever a soldier falls, another soldier will always take his place.
Forward and forward.
At the other end of the city gate, at the same time, there were many Chu soldiers who firmly resisted the city gate with their own flesh and blood, so as to resist the impact of the city hammer.
This siege battle, it can be said that from the beginning, it has entered a white heat!
Siege equipment such as rushing cars, ladders, crossing equipment, and catapults were all used by the coalition forces.
It's a pity that I can't help this city for a while.
Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, in accordance with his previous promise, personally picked up a pair of drum hammers and struck them the war drums.
With Xiong Zhen's cheering, the soldiers of the Chu army are even braver!
All the enemies who climbed from the ladder to the top of the city would not live long under the siege of the Chu soldiers.
Seeing this kind of tragic siege battle, Qingji's face on the chariot was also quite solemn.
It's just a matter of putting your life on the line!
As the besieging party, the casualties paid by the coalition army are far greater than those of the Chu army defending the city!
……
When the coalition army attacked Suicheng, Bai Gongsheng and Fan Li, who set off first, had already led an army of 10,000 and captured Wanxian, which was outnumbered.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops followed.
After getting the news that the Qin army was heading south, Bai Gongsheng was startled and wanted to lead his troops to retreat, but at this time, Qingji's order was conveyed.
Bai Gongsheng must stick to Wanxian County for ten days!
For this kind of order, Bai Gongsheng could not resist.
Because Bai Gongsheng can have today, it depends on Wu Guo.
Once the Wu army retreats, once the coalition forces withdraw from Chu, Bai Gongsheng will face the Qin-Chu coalition army alone.
A Chu army is difficult for Bai Gongsheng to defeat, let alone a Qin army?
As a last resort, even if Bai Gongsheng was for himself, he could only stubbornly resist in Wanxian County.
Fortunately, the Qin army went all the way south, and the siege equipment had not kept up, and the Qin army did not launch an attack on Wanxian County in a short time.
……
West of Yuncheng, on the banks of the Qingfa Water River.
At this time, a large team was heading north, and the destination was Suicheng.
On the crimson flag, there is a "Wu" character in the book.
The people who were in charge of pushing the wheelbarrows, or driving the ox carts and horse-drawn carts, were mostly young men in kudzu cloth clothes, or some sturdy women.
There are also old people with gray temples, or young people who have not yet taken off their childishness.
On the periphery of the procession was a group of soldiers dressed in crimson robes.
They are none other than the army of the state of Wu.
To be precise, it is the grain transportation team of Wu State!
Qingfa Water is a tributary of the Han River, belonging to the Dongting Lake water system, originating from the Dahong Mountain at the foot of the Dabie Mountain, and is the largest tributary of the Han River in the east.
From the inflow of the mountain with the city, it will be flooded, boiled water, stone river water, to the mouth of the two rivers.
The upstream of Qingfa water is Suiguo.
Wu's grain transport team originally relied on warships to transport grain and straw, but the Shuojiang River went up, and the resistance was too great, but it was not as fast as coming by land.
The general who was responsible for escorting this batch of grain and heavy baggage was the court lieutenant of Wu State.
At the beginning of the war, Qingji had already made a strict plan.
After the grain and baggage were transferred from Wu to Chu, they were all transported by soldiers and horses led by Bo Biao to guard the grain road.
Bo Biao did not disappoint Qingji, and since the coalition army entered Chu to fight, he has always ensured that the grain route of the coalition army has not been cut off.
However, the pressure to face is still enormous.
Because in many cases, wars are fought about food and grass.
To transport a large amount of grain and baggage, the support of the people is naturally indispensable.
For this battle, Wu requisitioned more than 30,000 people from the mainland, as well as Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang and other countries.
It is difficult for Bo Que to dispatch so many people, because the territory of Chu is too vast, and the people come from all over the world.
As a last resort, Bo Biao began to recruit the local Li Shu of Chu State, which was regarded as giving them a bite to eat.
Unexpectedly, his "good deed" suffered unexpected consequences.
"Kill!"
When the grain carrying team of up to 10,000 people passed through Qingfashui, it was ambushed by the Chu army.
A large number of Chu warships suddenly appeared in the river.
When the grain transport team passed by, the soldiers of the Chu army, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately rushed towards them like a tiger descending the mountain.
