"General, look!"

At the head of the north city of Shangyong, the deputy general under Liu Feng pointed outside the city.

Shen Tan had ordered the soldiers at the three gates to assemble, apparently preparing to attack the city.

However, except for some of the soldiers who stood in front of them wearing armor and holding shields to defend against arrows at the head of the city, the soldiers who were carrying ladders and preparing to climb the wall were all armourless, only holding a single sword, and then the overseers were in the rear.

Obviously, Shen Tan is preparing to use the recruited people as cannon fodder for attacking the city and climbing the wall.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for Shen Tan's low moral level, which is a routine operation during siege in this era.

Even if the elite participates in the siege of the city, they must be sent when the defenders are not strong enough and there is really hope to climb the city wall, so as to make a final decision.

It is impossible to send the elite away in the first place.

Adjutant General Liu Feng was not surprised by this, he pointed farther away, where many Cao soldiers were pushing six wooden carts.

There is a long thick wooden pole on this car, which is obliquely erected on the car in an asymmetrical way, the front is short and the back is long, the long end is tied with a large leather case, and the short end hangs down more than ten ropes.

Along with these six carts, there were many stones transported by Cao Jun.

"Stone-......"

Liu Feng's face turned dark, and there were only six stone trucks, if it was a fortified city like Jiangling, he didn't have to care about it at all. If you can smash it casually, if you can smash a hole, it can be regarded as the "Guan's Construction Brigade" doing a tofu scum project.

But now it is different, surrounded by mountains, the three counties are poor, and there is no need to build a strong city.

The solidity of the above Yong city wall, if it is a smaller flying stone, it can still resist, if it is a large stone of more than 100 catties...... After a long time, the walls will be broken.

"Quickly go and gather the large pieces of leather in the city, step up the production of leather curtains, and hang them at the head of the city! If the supplies are insufficient, they will ask for them from the big families in the city, and the situation is urgent, and those who dare not obey will ...... Chop!

"Order the soldiers on standby under the city wall to stand close to the city wall, and not too far from the city wall."

"Yes!"

But Liu Feng doesn't intend to sit still, no matter what, he must hold out until the prince's reinforcements arrive!

Leather curtains were a widely used means of defending stone carts at this time.

It is to use a large piece of leather, increase its weight after wetting and hang it, when the flying stone hits the leather curtain, it will absorb the impact force, the smaller one will fall directly to the ground, and the larger one can also reduce its damage.

The reason for keeping the soldiers on standby close to the city wall is that this position, which is similar to the anti-slope defense principle, allows the parabolic stones to attack without causing damage to the soldiers standing there, even if they pass over the wall.

Although he plays intrigue and meticulous layout, he is a rookie.

But when it comes to fighting, Liu Feng, who can be appreciated by his father and has made many military exploits in Yizhou and Hanzhong, is not a layman who only knows how to fight with strength and rush.

"The order goes down, and during the siege, all the people are forbidden to go out! Send people to patrol the city, and anyone who goes out in violation of the order will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Feng, who had learned his lesson, would never give the Shen family another chance to cause trouble for him from within.

According to the distribution of the enemy troops, the defenders in the city also began to move under Liu Feng's orders.

When the sixth leather curtain was erected at the head of the city, the siege was finally started after a stone was thrown out and smashed on the Shangyong city wall.

"Kill ——!"

Under the cover of the shield man, the young men who were recruited successively set up ladders at the head of the city.

This kind of siege ladder is equipped with a metal grappling hook at the front of it, and once it is hung on the city wall, it is not so easy to push away with the weight of a soldier who climbs the ladder.

Knowing that they will die backwards, the young people who are forward or have a glimmer of life have a single knife in their mouths and strive to climb.

The harsher the living environment, the more fierce the people living here.

Although these young men are in shabby clothes, some of them wear homemade simple leather armor, and what they don't have at home is simply their usual cloth clothes.

But its ferocity is much higher than the real soldiers of the Eastern Wu Foreign Army.

"One! Two! Hey! ”

Bang!

The young men who hugged the thick and smashing wood shouted the trumpet and slammed into the gate of the city.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Above the city, the defenders rained arrows mainly at the soldiers who had slammed on the door.

One by one, the sassal trees rolled down the ladder, and the stones fell down one by one, and the unfortunate ones who were hit were broken bones and tendons, and the heavy ones were killed, and the blood was soon spread under the Shangyong City......

Xiahou Shang frowned and looked at the battle situation in front of him: "I didn't expect that Liu Feng was not only brave. ”

Although there are no bright spots, the city is guarded, and there are no major omissions that are the highlights.

Especially the leather curtains that were hung out, it was obvious that they made a temporary response after seeing the thunderbolt sent by their side.

The thunderbolt is also a man-powered stone truck using the principle of levers, and how far the range can be depends on the size of the pulling force and the weight of the stones.

At present, in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers operating the thunderbolt, small stones are fired to keep the range of the ordinary bow and arrow.

However, the leather curtains that were still hanging on the city's head were gradually playing a bigger and bigger role, and the chaos and casualties caused by the small stones to the defenders of the city began to decline.

"Push the thunderbolt closer, change boulders, and take cover."

"Yes!"

The Wei soldiers began to stop firing flying stones, pushing the thunderbolt cart closer and closer.

There were no stones flying from time to time on their heads, and the defenders of the city were relieved for a moment and concentrated their efforts to fight back.

Liu Feng couldn't relax, and pushed the thunderbolt car closer, which was about to change to a big stone.

In fact, he also knows the best way to deal with the stone car, which is to defeat the stone car with the stone car......

Set up a catapult position in the open space in the city and confront the catapults outside the city.

Because the purpose is only to destroy the opponent's stone cart, it does not need to use stones the size of smashing the city wall, so it can also maintain the advantage of range.

However, it happened suddenly, and the city was not prepared at all.

Even if he demolished the house and unloaded the beams, it was too late in time, and when his stone cart position was erected, the city was broken.

Rumble!

A large stone slammed into the city wall, and a small pit was smashed shallowly, and the city wall looked fine.

However, the vibration from under his feet made the soldiers on the city wall panic a little, and the counterattack immediately slowed down.

"Don't panic! The enemy army only has six stone carts, and Shangyong City can't fall, so shoot back! Liu Feng roared, and took the lead in shooting an arrow to kill a young man of the Shen family who was banging on the door.

The surrounding soldiers finally started to fight back again amid Liu Feng's shouts.

"Prepare the rocket!"

After stabilizing the morale of the army, Liu Feng ordered again to order a part of the archers to attack Cao's army, which was operating the catapult, before the rockets were sent.

The defenders were in a position of height, and by this time the catapults were close enough for bows and arrows to kill.

Although ordinary arrows cannot destroy the stone cart, and it is difficult to cause a lot of damage to Cao Jun, who is armored and shielded and pays attention to protecting the stone cart, it can always delay the speed of some opponents to shoot boulders under harassment.

After a while, the rockets were moved to the front line, and the shooters replaced the ignited rockets one after another and fired at Cao Jun's stone cart.

For a while, the mid-air in front of the city was like a fire meteor streaking through it, and the scorching smell brought by the burning made the battlefield that was already full of blood smell even more unpleasant.

Seeing this, Xiahou Shang did not panic, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he did not order someone to withdraw the stone cart.

"Go to the river to get water and splash it, and keep sending stones!"

Shangyong City is built near the river, surrounded by blocked water, and its south and east are rivers.

The siege site in the north of the city is not far to the east of the blocked river.

And now the weather is still cold, and the mediocre land with many forests and rivers is not too dry even now.

The last time the rocket in Jiangling could have such a big effect, it was because Shen Zhong and others had poured fire oil on the house in advance, but now it is not so useful.

After a long time, there was still no stone cart set on fire.

"Huh!" Seeing that the rocket offensive was difficult to work, Liu Feng punched the city wall.

He stared at the stone carts viciously, and ordered: "Prepare oil and torches, choose five hundred people who dare to die, and follow me out of the city!" ”

"General ......", the deputy general Liu Beijun has been in the army for many years, and he has been following Liu Feng for a long time, and he has always been loyal, but he is not like the three people who were bought before.

At this time, hearing Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help but want to open his mouth to persuade him.

Liu Feng didn't wait for him to say anything further, so he interrupted: "If Cao's thunderbolt car is not destroyed, Shangyong City will not be able to defend it for a long time." Now you must lead your troops out of the city and burn them to be invincible, so that the enemy can be victorious! ”

The deputy general also knew that what Liu Feng said was true, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to lead the soldiers of his headquarters to go, and please continue to guard Shangyong!" ”

Liu Feng smiled with relief and patted the deputy general on the shoulder: "Looking at the appearance of Cao Junjun, his main general is not a mediocre person, if he does not succeed this time, he will not give me a second chance." In the whole army, can anyone be braver than the general? ”

The deputy general felt that Liu Feng seemed to have changed again, although his words were still arrogant, but if he had done it before, he would not have explained these things to himself.

He has always been strong, and he will not make such an intimate move as patting his subordinates on the shoulder.

"General Wang is loyal and has always acted steadily. After I went, you should defend the city with all your might, waiting for reinforcements from the prince. I hope that the king will be cautious and cautious, in order to repay the king. Liu Feng immediately looked straight, "Don't go yet!" ”

“…… Yes, sir! Vice General Wang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and returned to the city to prepare.

Vice General Wang, who left in a hurry, knew that Liu Feng had already embraced his will to die......
