Chapter 278: Desperate Liu Jing
The day after the banquet ended, Liu Jing did not attack again, and the originally noisy city wall was rarely quiet for a few days.
But in such a situation, Zhang Xun is not happy but worried.
If Liu Jing still attacked fiercely, it meant that he was already annoyed and angry, but he was not afraid.
But the result was the opposite, the other party stopped!
It shows that Liu Jing is not an irritable person, after experiencing two failures in a row, instead of being annoyed and angry, he was brave and began to calm down and summarize the reasons for the failure.
Such enemies are often more terrifying.
Zhang Xun looked at the rebels under the city wall, a few miles away, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, he was ready to meet a more fierce offensive!
If he was Liu Jing, with only more than 30,000 available troops left, he would definitely finish his work in one battle, bet all the chips on it, and make a shocking gamble!
Gather your forces and attack the city with all your might!
Once successful, it is an endless glory and wealth.
If they fail, they will flee immediately, or they will take over the mountains and become kings, or they will flee to the enemy's country.
In this way, there is a slight possibility of success.
If only a small force is still sent to test it, in the case that the strength of the two sides is not much different, Zhang Xun is sure that he will consume another wave of the other party, and then the attack and defense will be completely disformed!
As it turned out, Zhang Xun expected it well.
On the third day after the feast, under the city walls, there were once again black rebels!
Liu Jing still rode a tall horse, standing at the forefront of the army.
looked at Zhang Xun on the city wall, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
On the city wall, Li Zhufeng, who was beside Zhang Xun, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said, "Old Zhang, the person who came is not good!" ”
"This morale is not worse than the last time!"
When Zhang Xun heard this, he also nodded solemnly.
"This Liu Jing is a good hand at inciting people!"
"I have been defeated many times by us, but every time I attack the city, the morale of the army is not reduced at all, what a strange talent!"
"Bring all the things you have prepared, today, I'm afraid I'm going to see the real chapter!"
Zhang Xun's tone was solemn.
Li Zhufeng nodded when he heard this, and then waved his hand, and some soldiers began to go down to move things.
And while they were talking, Liu Jing under the city wall also moved.
The army parted from it, and a small battalion with shields rushed out of the middle.
These shields are still specially made and round in shape, enough to protect two people from a rain of arrows!
Then, with a roar, a familiar chariot was pulled out by sixteen horses.
On the chariot, there are battering rams that are the same as the last siege, and there are more siege warriors than last time!
Except for these people, the rest of them bent their bows and arrows and aimed them at the city wall!
Apparently trying to cover for the siege warriors!
But the distance of the arrows shot from the top down is definitely farther than from the bottom up, so these people have already entered the range of the defenders before they shoot the arrows, which is tantamount to the way to death!
However, it is impossible for Liu Jing not to understand such a simple truth.
I saw that he gave another order, and beside the archers, one by one the soldiers in leather armor took out their shields again!
It's just that it's no longer a special oversized round iron shield, but a teng shield woven of rattan!
Obviously, even if he, Liu Jing, had accumulated a lot of wealth with counterfeit money, he would not be able to let these 350,000 rebels have a special shield.
And even if he did, not all of his soldiers would have the strength to pick up a special shield!
In contrast, although Teng Dun's defense is not so strong, it is light!
It is suitable for the archers to defend themselves against the rain of arrows from the city walls.
"Brethren, follow this king and rush into the city!"
"As long as the city is broken, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth!"
"Princes and generals, rather have a kind of thing, make contributions, just now!"
"Kill!" Liu Jing shouted angrily, and the rebels with a rainbow of momentum launched a fierce charge towards the wall of Qiandu City!
Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng on the city wall saw this scene and took a breath of cool air.
Soldiers with special shields help the siege warriors resist the rain of arrows, and then the archers support them from a distance, so that the probability of capturing the city is simply doubled!
You know, when he first attacked the city, he couldn't even command the whole army.
Now, it has been able to do this!
Moreover, he summed up the experience from the last defeat and was keenly aware of the importance of battering rams and siege wrestlers, so as to make more special shields and Teng shields to protect battering rams and siege wrestlers.
That's really ...... Some are smacking.
"It's a pity, why rebel." Zhang Xun sighed, a little helpless.
Liu Jing's talent can be said to be the only one in his life.
If you don't covet that position, but assist Liu Yu to ascend the throne and become the emperor, I am afraid that I will be the king of Zhongshan again in the future.
It's a pity that I went astray!
"Archers on top!" After a moment of emotion, Zhang Xun's expression gradually became solemn, and he began to command the defenders with all his strength.
Every time 10,000 archers shoot an arrow on the city wall, it is a rain of arrows!
But even so, he still can't hurt the siege warriors who are wearing heavy armor and protected by special shields.
On the contrary, it was the rain of arrows fired by the opposing archers from below that killed many of the defenders.
Seeing this, Zhang Xun frowned slightly, waved his hand again, and shouted: "The shield hand is on top!" Defense! ”
"Don't shoot those iron bumps again, shoot the opponent's archers!"
Upon hearing this, a man with shields immediately stood in front of the archers on the city wall, protecting them from firing at the rebel archers.
There is also a shield protection, but the arrows shot by the guards of the city are condescending, and they always have to have an advantage, so a person who looks at Liu Jing dies a lot.
But...... This is Liu Jing's purpose!
He would rather fight to die more archers on his side, but also protect the siege warriors and break through the city gates!
As soon as the city gate is broken, it will be another situation, so naturally there is no need to stay here as a target.
In this way, after paying the lives of many archers, the siege warriors and battering rams finally arrived at the gates of Qiandu City!
The siege warriors led by the city looked at the sunken city gate, and their eyes bloomed with excitement!
These are undoubtedly the masterpieces left by the siege warriors who attacked the city last time, but now, they are cheaper!
Seeing this, Zhang Xun on the city wall snorted coldly and said, "Pour the golden juice!" ”
As soon as these words came out, barrels and barrels of steaming tawny liquid were spilled down!
However, this time, the siege wrestlers did not panic, but immediately crouched down and curled themselves up with force.
The soldiers holding special shields on the side stepped forward and stacked one shield after another on top of each other, so as to completely protect all the crouching siege warriors!
At this time, the hot gold juice fell from the sky!
