Chapter 1176: There's an Inner Taste

Taiping dismounted and stared at the city wall.

It would be fun if you brought those two guns.

However, the Musou Army only has two artillery pieces in total, and it is currently being built on the Huining side, but it has not yet been produced.

The Jizhou side is the main battlefield, and the artillery is over there.

Taiping went on a project this trip, and all he was carrying were tools.

Now that Qinghe County is fighting, the defenders on the city wall are very strong, and it is estimated that they are defending it in all directions.

How to get in without breaking into it? It's a brainstorm.

"General, let's go and help General Chunfeng attack the city?" The adjutant asked.

"General Chunfeng can't gain an advantage on the city wall, it doesn't make much sense for us to storm now, and we don't even have a hook...... There you have it."

Taiping glanced around, and immediately had a way.

"Go and cut the bamboo, the longer the better, go! Also, prepare stones, hurry up!" Taiping hurriedly ordered.

The adjutant general hurriedly led people to the mountains to cut bamboo.

Soon, the soldiers arrived carrying long bamboos one after another.

"General, you cut more than 200 bamboos, is it enough?" The adjutant asked.

"That's pretty much enough! We don't have tools, so we make them on the spot!"

Taiping has a bright brain, since there is no siege equipment, then make it on the spot.

He ordered all the branches of the bamboo to be cut off, ropes were tied to the tops, and seven or eight small ropes were added to the ends of each rope, and stones were put on top of them, and then a pit was dug to fix the bamboo in the ground.

Seven or eight bamboos were inserted into the ground to become a simple catapult.

Naturally, this thing is not as powerful as a serious catapult.

But the Taiping only needed to throw stones into the city.

He didn't want firepower, but to attract the attention of the defenders of the city.

And the selection point is not on the front of Qinghe County, but on the side.

In this way, it can also help Chunfeng attract some troops and relieve the pressure of her siege.

"Stick these branches neatly in the back." Taiping immediately ordered.

The soldiers immediately did so.

"Leave a hundred men here, and just wave their flags and shout, and throw stones into the city. The rest of you, bring the bamboo with me!" After Taiping finished speaking, he personally carried a bamboo and ran.

At this time, a simple catapult made of bamboo began to throw stones into the city.

On the city wall, Cui Ji saw stones flying into the city on the side, and was slightly stunned.

Catapults?

Didn't the other side come on a quick march? Except for the hooks, there were no siege machines, and they didn't even bring a ladder.

But where did the catapult come from? Could it be that the big army is coming?

"General! The west side of the city is under attack, and there are enemy troops outside the city waving their flags and shouting!" A soldier ran over to report the situation.

"How many?"

"It's too dark to see! But there is a lot of pressure outside, not to mention tens of thousands of people!"

Cui Ji's expression froze.

If there are still reinforcements of tens of thousands of people, and they also bring siege equipment, tonight will be in trouble.

"Increase the troops to the west of the city, and we must not lose it!" Cui Jilang said.

"Yes!"

Outside the city, in another place.

Taiping took more than 4,000 horses and touched the city wall.

From a distance, you can see that there are still defenders on the walls, but there are not many of them.

It is estimated that most of the troops were attracted by the spring breeze, and some of the troops were dragged by his "large army".

And now all Taiping has to do is steal chickens.

He did not have the equipment to climb the walls, but he could use bamboo to climb the walls.

He tied hundreds of archers to the bamboo, and then had the bamboo lifted.

"Brethren, guard on the wall here

The reserve force is weak, we must climb the city wall in the shortest possible time and take the advantage! Archers, release the arrows! The rest, in batches! Come two hundred men first, and follow me!"

After Taiping finished speaking, he and a team of people and horses carried bamboo and galloped forward.

At this time, the archers tied to the bamboo immediately took out their bows and arrows and shot a rain of arrows towards the city wall.

Before the defenders on the walls could react, they were killed and wounded by the rain of arrows that covered the night.

At this time, Taiping had already reached the edge of the city wall, and he personally hugged the top of the bamboo and asked his subordinates to lift the bamboo directly.

In a blink of an eye, Taiping rose into the air, jumped into the air, and went directly to the city wall.

In the same way, dozens of people climbed the city walls.

The speed of this climb to the city wall is not known how many times faster than the hook and claw on the side of the spring breeze.

Although the number of defenders on the city walls was small, they were indeed not vegetarians.

They reacted quickly and immediately organized a very effective revolt.

At the same time, the defenders under the city wall were also rushing to the city wall.

Seeing this, Taiping thought to himself that this guy from the Qinghe Cui clan was in the nest, and the level of arranging troops was very superb.

Despite the small number of people and the very weak defense, such mobility is not covered at all.

However, the Taiping were numerous.

Having occupied an area of the city walls, they were not in a hurry to advance.

Instead, wait for more soldiers to ascend the walls.

In a very short time, two or three hundred people had already climbed the city walls.

The defenders reacted quickly enough, but the Taiping climbed the walls faster in this way.

Moreover, he has gained the initiative in this area, and the friendly forces behind him can climb the walls without threat.

After there were 300 unparalleled troops on the city wall, Taiping immediately ordered to go forward and quickly expand the results.

It will take some time for all 5,000 people to climb the city wall.

"Pass my military order, and after all the soldiers climb the city wall, enter the city immediately! We're going to take the Cui Mansion!" After Taiping finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed down the steps of the city gate with people.

Only one wave of killing, and the defenders who wanted to climb the city wall were all pressed back.

There were also thousands of defenders under the walls.

At this time, the archers had already climbed the city wall and directly descended a wave of fire covering the city wall, instantly defeating the defenders.

Taiping continued to rush forward to kill, rushed through the crowd, snatched the war horse, and went directly into the city.

It's like a bandit.

Although Taiping is a battlefield veteran and is good at using strategies, his combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.

All the way to the outside of the Cui Mansion, countless guards quickly poured out of the mansion.

Taiping continued to fight.

The soldier is very fast, and he needs to quickly seize the Cui Clan's mansion now.

Although he doesn't know how many troops there are in the city, he has successfully entered the city and taken Qinghe County, so there is no big problem.

Originally, there were 500 guards in the house, all of them elite
