Chapter 364: Attacking the Stone
Jiang Chiyu said. Bai Qi's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Do you have a way to take the gates?"
Jiang Chiyu nodded:
"I will sneak in in advance, and I want to open the city gate when the two armies are facing each other, and then the Qin army can occupy Lishi first, and then try to Lin City.
I found a road that was difficult to walk, it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to pass, and it was impossible to carry baggage, but it was possible to go directly to the back of Lin City from Lishi to the surprise of everyone in Lin City. If done correctly, Lin Cheng should be able to be taken by then. ”
Bai Qi had planned to seize the stone first, and then attack Lin. When fighting away, he always has to have a barrier before he can attack a city like Lin.
Now that he heard Jiang Chiyu's words, Bai Qi is more confident in winning these two cities. So he began to discuss the details with Jiang Chiyu.
This time, the audience shouted and begged Jiang Chiyu not to turn off the live broadcast, they wanted to watch the siege battle! Jiang Chiyu thought about it, it would not be a pity to have a cheat in the live broadcast room, he also needed to sneak into the city with the black cat and others to open the door for Bai Qi and others.
So for the time being, I promised not to turn off the live broadcast and let everyone take a look.
After Jiang Chiyu and Bai Qi discussed the details, the person with the black cat left ahead of schedule again, took a detour to the back of the rock, and climbed up from the mountain.
Bai Qi did not delay, the army advanced to camp ten kilometers away from Lishi, and after resting and reorganizing, he directly launched an offensive against Lishi.
It is 18 meters high from the stone city wall, and with the advantage of the terrain, it is even more unattainable. The suspension bridge outside the city has been hoisted, and under the bridge is a moat more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters deep. Bai Qi asked the army to set up a crossbow and began to shoot at Lishi City from a distance.
The crossbow of the Qin army has a long range, which is something that all the countries in the world know, and for a while, the soldiers on the wall near the city gate have taken refuge. However, with the advantage of height, the arrows that counterattacked from the stone city also made it impossible for Bai Qi's team to advance rashly.
After a few rounds of firing like greetings, the two armies confronted each other.
The main general stationed in Shicheng took advantage of the interval between the bows and crossbows of the Qin army to go up to the city gate to watch for a while, and when he saw this situation, he was satisfied. Lishi really has too many geographical advantages, and even a famous general like Bai Qi can't bargain for a while.
In the opinion of the Lishi guard, if Bai Qi wants to take Lishi City, he can only attack hard. And for a place like Lishi, a hard attack will only make Bai Qi's soldiers suffer serious losses!
After coming to the conclusion that Bai Qi couldn't quickly take down the stone, the lord would be a little proud. But soon, he saw from afar that the Qin army slowly changed formations, and then dozens of chariot-like things were pushed out.
"General, it's a fool!" There is humanity next to him. The Lord will look at it with a solemn face.
The so-called fénwēn is a large wooden four-wheeled vehicle, shaped like a small wooden house, but the surface is covered with raw cowhide, which can be fireproof, and it can accommodate ten people, and can be used to transport earth and fill the trenches, even if you shoot arrows down the city or throw rolling wood thunder stones, you can't hurt the people inside.
The white army is stronger, and the surface is reinforced with metal plates! Harder to break!
This thing is the most annoying, and if it can't hurt the people inside, it can keep carrying earth to fill the moat. If it fills part of the moat with earth, then the siege machine can reach the city gates!
But above the city walls, they are helpless against this thing!
The Lord had no other way at this time, and if the land was not as clean as the stone was clear, they might try to set a fire on the other side of the moat to hinder the progress of the moat.
But at this point, it is clear that there is no way.
Bai Qi's soldiers waited quietly outside the range of the defenders of Stone City. Some people cut down trees and dig in the earth, and carts come and go, vowing to fill in the moat!
The stone master was watching the situation below the city from the city wall, when he suddenly heard a whistling sound.
Seeing a few black lights shooting from the Qin army's array, it directly crossed the city wall and shot into the Zhao soldier's army array that was gathering and waiting under the city.
The lord was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around to look back on the other side of the city wall.
I saw that the thick and long spear-like arrows were directly nailed into the Zhao army's array! It actually passed through the bodies of several soldiers at the same time, ending the lives of several people!
It's true that people don't die much, but the range of this thing is too terrifying!
"How did Qin Jun do it! The army of Bai Qi is more than three hundred feet away from here! What is this thing that can shoot so far! ”
Three hundred zhang is one thousand meters. Seeing this terrifying range, the main general and his men were numb.
It's not surprising that they don't know, because this is the Mo family's giant ballista, also called a bed crossbow. large
The ballista can be loaded with seven or eight crossbow arrows at a time, and after the discharge is completed, it can be fired continuously by relying on the machine spring, and the firing distance can be more than a kilometer, but the accuracy is average, and the rate of fire is slow.
However, the crossbow arrows of this bed are huge, and they can shoot through several people at a time, which is very scary.
It's a pity that the giant ballista is also a little bulky, and the number of people carried by the army can't be too much.
At this time, Bai Qi lined up the giant ballista and fired without intermittent, giving Zhao Jun a certain amount of harassment.
Although Zhao Jun couldn't kill many people at one time, this sense of fear was full. The ballista shoots far and accurately, which means that no one knows which people will be killed by the next arrow!
This is also Zhao Jun, whose military literacy is quite high. If this is replaced by something else, it will not be possible for the kung fu soldiers to have the intention of escaping.
"General, don't stay here for long, go down the city wall."
The subordinates of the master of Lishi were afraid that his master would be shot with crossbow arrows, so he advised him to take refuge in the city quickly.
But this kung fu, Bai Qi's harassment has made some soldiers panic, if he hides as the main general, the soldiers will also have a sense of escape. So as the main general, he couldn't leave.
So the main general had no choice but to stay on the city wall, watching the enemy's situation while commanding.
The back and forth did not stop, and finally under the city wall, a moat more than 20 meters long was filled! This also means that Bai Qi is about to send people to attack the city gate.
Sure enough, the white army formation changed again, and a siege vehicle slowly drove out.
Today's siege engines are generally made of wood, but the siege vehicles on the Baiqi side are even stronger. The roof has a hard metal carport cover, the lower six wheels, the body wheels are reinforced with metal plates, and the outside is also covered with cow and sheepskin, which is fireproof and anti-arrows.
The inside of the siege vehicle is hung on a beam with a metal chain on a thick log, and the front end of the log has a metal head and a metal cap at the back end, which is the battering ram, which is specially used to chisel the city gate.
As soon as the siege engine came out, the ladder followed.
When the lord saw it, he also knew that the real time for battle was coming, and hurriedly ordered to go down, and the whole army was on alert, and all kinds of weapons on the city wall were ready. As soon as Bai Qi's army approached, he began to attack.
