Listening to Ye County's return, all the non-commissioned officers said that the enemy's bed crossbow was strange. Kunyang's guards were also a little suspicious, and repeatedly confirmed,

"Don't lie, if you are found out, I Wenqin will not spare you!"

"It's true!" Several of the soldiers nodded and replied in the affirmative.

"It's weird, how can those Shu people who stay in the mountains all year round be so able to fight?" Wen Qin scratched his head, still feeling a little incredulous.

Wen Qin is theoretically not a Kunyang guard, he is responsible for the security of Yingchuan. However, the surprise attack of the Han army was too sudden, and Wen Qin happened to be near Kunyang, so he took over the task of defending the city of Kunyang.

Now that the news of the Shu army's entry into the Kou has spread, it won't be long before the army of the imperial court will be killed. Wen Qin received news that the Central Army on the Luoyang side had begun to assemble.

As long as he held Kunyang for ten days, so that the Shu army could not occupy this forward position, basically half of the battle was won.

Kunyang is the gateway to Nanyang, and it is also a key stop for the main force of the Wei army to move south along the waterway. If this place is still in the hands of the Wei army, the grain and straw from the south to the north can be smoothly hoarded here, and the main force of the Wei army can be supplied to Ye County in a down-to-earth manner.

Yexian County is small, and the city gate can't even carry the bed crossbow, so it is difficult to block it in the face of the main force of the Wei army. If Yexian can't stop it, then the Wei army can drive straight in, quickly enter the Nanyang Basin, and defeat the Han army with superior forces on the plain.

Therefore, Kunyang is a battleground for both sides.

Wen Qin entered Kunyang ahead of schedule and led part of the Yingchuan garrison into Kunyang, but even then he was still not at ease.

Not only is the Han army powerful and the bed crossbow bizarre, but the most important thing is the morale problem. Two hundred years ago, this was the highlight of Emperor Guangwu's life. Soldiers who are a little superstitious will mumble in their hearts, which is quite a morale blow.

"Governor of the school, after the Shu army took Yexian, it didn't stay at all, and the army rushed along the road towards Kunyang!" The scout stepped forward at this time and reported to Wen Qin on the movements of the Shu army.

"There are nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they are coming. The handsome flag of the leader reads "Han Zhengbei General Ma". ”

"So Ma Tan came in person?" Wen Qin's face changed suddenly, and he felt that the pressure came up all of a sudden.

In recent years, the Shu army has become famous, and the Wei army has won successive battles, of which Ma Jian has made great contributions. Basically, every battle in which the Shu army has achieved outstanding results has the name of Ma Yan, but it is the first meritorious.

Wen Qin has held a military position in the Central Plains in recent years, and the name of Ma Tan is even more thunderous. As soon as he heard the name, Wen Qin knew that the intensity of the next battle was not ordinarily high.

But fortunately, when Wen Qin was serving in Yingchuan, he made a friend, who was demoted and reflected on because of the defeat. It is said that he fought with Ma Tan, and he also taught Wen Qin a few tricks to guard against Ma Tan.

"Pass my orders! Close the door tightly and stick to it! Wen Qin made a quick decision, and with a wave of his hand, he issued a series of orders.

"Put away all my handsome flags, and all the flags hanging outside can't have other words except Wei. If the Shu army comes to provoke, they will all be silent, and those who dare to reveal the names of our generals will be beheaded! ”

"Ma Tan is good at slandering, and he is like a gangster who criticizes others. In any case, I can't let him know what my name is! ”

The defenders of Kunyang numbered five thousand men and were quickly mobilized under the orders of Wen Qin. The gates were closed, the antlers stood sideways, and archers and crossbowmen all ascended to the top of the city. All the flags hanging outside were replaced, leaving only the military flag of Great Wei.

When Ma Tan led the Han army to the city of Kunyang, he didn't even see a banner of the Wei army.

"Huh? What the hell is Wei Jun doing? How did you hide all the flags? Ma Tan looked at it several times in succession, but he didn't see a flag that could prove the identity of the other side. This made Ma Jian very dissatisfied, and there was one less fun before the war.

Subsequently, Ma Tan planned to give a pre-war speech to persuade him to surrender as usual. But before Ma Jian could speak, the Wei army at the head of the city took the lead in speaking.

"Listen to the thieves in Xishu, we will not surrender to a small country like you, if you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't fight, get out!"

"Huh? Why are these Wei Jun still stealing words? Ma Jian was directly choked, and suddenly became a little angry.

No one has ever dared to steal my words! Never!

"Prepare for the siege! I'm going to personally pull out the guard on the opposite side and draw two big ear brackets and let him snatch my words! ”

"Yui!"

The Han army quickly formed a formation and changed, pushing siege equipment and began to attack the city.

This time, the Han army took the lead in launching the rushing car, and at the same time set up arrow towers to launch an attack on Kunyang.

Hiding in the shadows, Wen Qin, disguised as a small soldier, quietly observed every move of the Han army. Seeing that the Han army's behavior so far was still normal, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

There is a high probability that the so-called bed crossbow with super impact power was made up by the defenders of Ye County, right? Otherwise, with such a powerful weapon, wouldn't it be better to directly take it out and attack the city gate and destroy it?

Wen Qin was ready at this time and blocked all the city gates with sandbags. He dared to say that even if the Han army destroyed the city gate with that strong crossbow, he would not want to break through Kunyang City.

Thinking about it, the Han army had already begun to attack, constantly pushing the rushing car ladder towards the city gate.

However, just when Wen Qin felt that the next thing was to follow the routine operation, and the two sides began to grind meat at the head of the city, he suddenly saw another change in the Han army's formation.

Several eight-bull crossbows were pushed out by the Han army again, but this time these bed crossbows were no longer aimed at the city gates, but at the city walls!

"The city walls? They want to use that thing to break through the walls? Wen Qin narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

With the order of the Han army officer, the bed crossbow fired at the city wall at the same time. However, this time it was not a crossbow arrow with a strong penetrating power, but a long, javelin-like stepping arrow!

Several arrows shot out in unison and nailed directly to the city wall! And the location is not random, but a wooden ladder that can be climbed at one time!

"Holy! What kind of play is this? Wen Qin was shocked, and then saw the Han army reload the bed crossbow and continue to fire crossbow arrows at the city.

At the same time, a large number of Han troops were already attacking like a tide. Many soldiers quickly followed, and launched an attack on the head of the city with their arrows.

This is much safer than the flying ladder wooden ladder, and the Wei army at the head of the city can't destroy these treadmill arrows at all. The Han soldiers climbed desperately towards the city from all directions.

"This ...... What kind of play is this? Wen Qin watched in disbelief as countless Han soldiers attacked the city, and his eyes almost fell in shock.

"Siege like this? It's a bit too bummer! ”
