Chapter 257: Attacking Shouchun
Bai Zhong took out this jade pendant, the same as the heart jade pendant he got before, the only difference was that there was a "ground" character on the surface.
The heart jade pendant was also taken out of the system space by him, and the two were compared for a moment, and he couldn't see what the jade pendant had for the time being.
"Why is the system giving me this?"
Bai Zhong was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't see anything special when he turned it over and over.
After studying it for a while, he simply threw the jade pendant back into the system space.
Since the system gives these things to him, there should be some special role, but it has not been reflected yet, and it will be studied later.
At this time, it was already evening.
Bai Zhong closed the system panel, went outside to inspect the barracks, and with his last look, he looked at Shouchun again, and asked, "How long do you think we can break the city?" ”
Chen Ping, who followed beside him, said: "With the strength of our army, within seven days, Shouchun will be broken, and now, there are not many people who are willing to defend the city for the king of Chu, although the people of Chu hate our Qin country, but they are also afraid of death." ”
"That makes sense!"
Bai Zhong continued: "Pass the order, build siege equipment as soon as possible, and attack the city in three days. ”
At this time, Geng Wu came over and said, "General, we Iron Eagle Warriors have already lost three hundred and twenty-three people. ”
As soon as the sharps were replenished to the integer of five thousand, there were immediately battle losses, but the war would inevitably kill people, Bai Zhong said: "You teach our qi refining technique to the people you think you can trust, and spread it among the sharps first." ”
"Thank you, General!"
Geng Wu said gratefully.
If the alchemy technique spreads, the strength of the warriors will increase greatly, and the casualties on the battlefield will decrease, this is what Geng Wu wants to see the most, and a long time ago, Bai Zhong said that he could teach them to trust people.
Geng Wu taught himself a few short soldiers, all of whom could be cultivated, and the effect was very obvious.
Bai Zhong asked again: "What about the battle losses in our army?" ”
Chen Ping responded: "At present, there are about 350,000 people, but more than 70,000 people have been sent to suppress various cities and towns to prevent people in the cities from rebelling. ”
The 400,000 army went out to fight, killed about 50,000 people, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in the Chu State, this result is quite good, Bai Zhong is also very satisfied, and now there are more than 200,000 people around him, which is enough to continue to sweep the Chu State.
"There is also news from Qianzhong County."
Chen Ping continued: "Ning Junshou and General Li You have already taken Qiancheng, and the people of the Qu clan have to retreat to the east, they are not strong enough to dare to go deep alone, so they do not pursue and kill, but only garrison in Qiancheng. ”
Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Ning Junshou's approach is also very stable!" ”
After a general understanding of these things, he asked Chen Ping to go down to rest as well.
Go back to the main ledger.
Young-sook is already waiting for him.
"You can teach the Qi Alchemy technique to the people of the Black Ice Terrace."
Bai Zhong felt that this cultivation method could be spread on a small scale, and continued: "They will not betray, and their strength has increased, so they can do things better for us." ”
Ying Shu snuggled in his arms and said softly, "I'll pass on the mantra tomorrow." ”
The 2,000 people of the first lieutenant still followed Ying Shu and came to the army together as Bai Zhong's short soldiers.
——
The siege equipment was quickly built.
At noon on the fourth day, Bai Zhong gave the order to attack.
Knock knock!
Hearing the sound of the war drums of the Qin army outside, the Chu army guards in Shouchun City suddenly panicked, and the king of Chu also walked to the city tower in person, wanting to boost the morale of the Chu army and try his best to hold the city.
Bai Zhong ordered the first echelon of trapped soldiers to advance first, followed by the building carts and rushing cars, etc., followed by a large number of crossbowmen to throw at the city tower and be responsible for covering.
The first echelon is also divided into several phalanxes.
The phalanxes cooperated with each other, first of all, to assist the trapped people to attack and climb to the tower.
The Iron Eagle Warriors also joined the trapped, they carried the ladder, raised their shields, and under the cover of the crossbowmen, they soon came to the edge of the city wall, and the ladder leaned against the wall, and then raised their shields to climb up.
The soldiers of the Chu army on the tower of the city smashed the wood and stone and other things towards the soldiers on the ladder.
The Qin army continued to have people stoned to death, and some people continued to climb without fear of death.
"Projectile!"
Geng Wu did not climb the ladder for the first time, commanded some sharp soldiers, drew his bow and shot at the city tower.
The offensive and defensive battles began to become more and more intense.
Someone on both sides is constantly falling.
Bai Zhong saw that the attack was almost complete, and waved his hand: "Second echelon, go upstairs to the car, control the rushing car, prepare the trebuchet, go!" ”
He did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, even if he wanted to, but as the commander, he could not leave the army at will, and if there were no special circumstances, he had to sit under the banner of the Chinese army and command.
The Qin army in the second echelon rushed up.
The height of the building car is basically the same as the castle tower of Shouchun.
The soldiers walked up to the building car, and they could easily draw their bows to shoot the Chu army guards on the city tower, and assist the traps and iron eagles to kill them, and after a while, finally the trapped people climbed the tower.
Although they were killed quickly, they were killed one after another.
"Up!"
Seeing this, Geng Wu picked up a shield on the ground and climbed to the ladder.
"Keep up with the General!"
The five hundred lords of an iron eagle warrior shouted.
Someone in the trap opened the gap in the city tower, and the Iron Eagle Sharp Warrior quickly killed through the gap, and there was the cover of the building car next to it, so it became easier to climb the city tower.
Seeing this scene, the king of Chu was anxious, grabbed an old man beside him and said, "Please also ask Mr. to find a way to solve the Qin army's building car." ”
The biggest threat to the city tower is still the building car.
The Qin army was covering in the car, and the soldiers defending the city had no way to suppress the Qin army on the ladder.
"Get the stuff out!"
The old man stroked his white beard.
After a while, someone in the Chu army moved a bed crossbow out, but this bed crossbow was very special, the crossbow arrow was a thick wooden pole, the tip of the arrow had a barb, and a rope was tied at the end.
The rope is connected to a huge winch, and by twisting the rope, the wooden pole that has been shot out can be retracted.
"Shoot!"
After the old man simply aimed, he gave the order.
The soldiers had already pulled the bowstring of the bed crossbow apart, and when they heard this, they released the bowstring, only to hear a "boom", and the bowstring ejected the wooden pole with a screeching sound.
Bang!
The wooden pole was knocked down on a building car.
The entire building car was pierced by the strong force of the crossbow arrows, shook for a while, and shook several Qin soldiers down.
"Pull!"
The old man said again.
Several Chu soldiers turned the winch, and the rope connecting the wooden pole was quickly stretched.
One of the soldiers shouted: "Force! ”
They turned the winch with all their might, and the barb of the arrow tip firmly hooked the wood on the building car, and as the winch pulled hard, they heard a "bang" sound, and the whole building car was pulled down by them.
The building car collapsed, and the soldiers of the Qin army fell down with it, being crushed underneath.
"Good!"
Seeing this, he laughed and said, "Sir's city guarding equipment is really powerful, and he really deserves to be a member of the Mo family." ”
The old man was about to say something when suddenly the city wall shook violently.
