Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Soldiers Are Approaching the North

The herald carrying the order flag, riding a war horse, not only shuttled back and forth between the three battalions, but a war horse galloped towards the Tiger Ben camp of the Chinese army on the south road, and the dust behind him was flying, and when he saw the figure of the big flag, he leaped down!

"General Qiyu, the Xuanfeng battalion has attacked the thirty-seven towns (including townships) of the ancient Wei State, and all those who stubbornly resist our Wang Shi have been reorganized and reorganized, and they are advancing to the north, and they can be reached in the early morning of the same day!"

There are still fifty miles away from Beiqu, the scouts are constantly going back and forth to frequently report the situation ahead, behind Di Rui, there are also nearly 10,000 soldiers standing forward, at this moment their southern road Chinese army has also swept through Wei Anyi, more than 300 miles in the two counties of Shangjun, more than 20 cities and towns, and more than 5,000 Wei soldiers have been destroyed!

"Let the Xuanfeng battalion advance forty miles, set up camp, recuperate and coerce Beiqu tomorrow!" Di Rui took the map of Shangjun in Hexi drawn by the sheepskin in his hand, swept his eyes and said in a deep voice!

"No!" the herald bowed to receive the order, turned and leaped on his horse, and galloped away!

At noon the next day, the three battalions of the South Road Army successfully encircled Beiqu, this is an ancient city with a long history and a grand scale, as high as ten zhang, two zhang thick, the whole is made of bluestone, and it is cast by iron juice, extremely strong, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if it is a martial arts master, the Shinto master can not easily break through.

More importantly, there are heavy garrisons of the Wei State here, and the city is densely populated, high and down, and there are sassal wood, falling stones, bed crossbows, gold juice and other sharp weapons to defend the city. There is a tendency for a husband to be closed.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a big city as Beiqu that the Qin State and the armies of the alien races have never been able to drive straight in.

"What a majestic city!"

"Not to mention that the Wei State has painstakingly managed Hexi for hundreds of years, and the national strength is thriving to subdue the foreign races, and the Qin State is out of breath, is it not unreasonable?"

"The population of Hexi is as high as tens of millions, and everyone practices martial arts, not to mention the fierce folk customs, it is still a treasure land, and it is no wonder that Wu Qi, the sage of the art of war, fought with the Western Barbarian Qin dozens of times, and broke the 500,000 male soldiers of the Qin State, so that Qin could not afford to shake up, although the previous generations were exhausted in military force, but in the end they could only look at Hexi and sigh!"

Looking at the ancient city with a black overall color, lying on the ground like a giant beast in the wilderness, and the tall Wei pawn who was constantly patrolling above, Di Rui's eyes couldn't help but show emotion.

"Yes, this is just a garrison trained by Wei Wushu, although it is not Wei Wushu, but it is also an elite journey, Beiqu is one of the five big cities in Shangjun, with a population of more than 100,000, because it is bordered by Qin in the west, and Yiqu and other northern aliens in the north, there are 5,000 Wei soldiers here all the year round, even if it is tens of thousands of troops can not be broken. ”

"This is also the biggest reliance in Hexi, Hexi Wei has twenty big cities, as long as one does not fall, it will face being surrounded by the Wei army in the rest of the city, if it is not good, it will lead to the annihilation of its own army, this city is not broken, we dare not lead the army to the north, attack the hinterland to help Shi and Gongzi convergence!"

"The beacon fire transmits the message, and the front and rear strikes achieve the goal of attacking and defending, which is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw. ”

Zhiyong, who was resolute and handsome, stood behind Di Rui, and his face was also full of emotion, the middle left of the south road was the first to arrive, and the two of them were waiting for Ji Xuan, the captain of the Heavenly Wolf Battalion on the right road, who had just arrived, while also observing the situation of Beibending!

When he really faced this ancient city, he couldn't help but sigh faintly in his heart!

This city is so strong that it is almost comparable to the eldest son city of the Jin king!

"This is not just a hard bone to gnaw, it is simply an iron city!"

It is said that at that time, the Jin Kingdom seized this thousands of miles of fertile land from foreign races, and in order to protect the people from foreign invasions, they built a city in Shangjun to defend against the foreign races in the north, and each city almost used a full 100,000 people and slaves, and it took five years to build it before it was completed.

And in order to ensure the solidity of the wall, iron juice was cast on each piece of bluestone, and at the same time, in order to ensure the quality of the construction, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom at that time even let the soldiers pierce the wall with spears and pierce half an inch, and the overseer of the construction died, and the soldiers died if they did not penetrate it!

And each of these cities has also laid out a protective formation, even a powerful Fang Shi can be easily killed, because the Fang Shi did not dare to make a mistake here, after the Wei State occupied Shangjun, the alien race, the Qin State was killed every time it invaded, leaving countless souls to return, casting the majesty of the Wei State today!

"But this has also developed a nobody's eyes in the eyes of the Wei State, arrogant mentality, you see that Wei Jun bullies the weak everywhere, and the Beiqu Wei army is also like this, no one thinks that Beiqu City will fall, my lord, this is our army's opportunity!"

Ji Xuan, who had just arrived, was dressed in silver armor and white robes and was holding Fang Tian's halberd, hearing the conversation between the two, looking at the tall city wall in front of him, and at the same time, his eyes showed excitement.

"Yes, the army on the right is already in place, and it is only necessary for the catapults to destroy the sixteen attics on the city wall and break their protective formation, and then the siege can begin. ”

Dressed in black armor, wearing a red dragon robe, and wearing a red tasseled helmet, Di Rui's eyes flashed constantly, and his huge hand was grasped and loosened, loosened and grasped, obviously his emotions were not as simple as they appeared.

"General!"

"Give the order, as long as the general gives me an order, we will break through the city gate and capture Beiqu City!"

"General, give the order!" Behind the three of them, one by one the generals said enthusiastically.

"Okay, the generals listen to the order, the archers are ready, after the full chariot attack, the first to climb the city wall will be promoted to the third rank!"

Di Rui looked at the giant city with cold eyes, looked around, and saw that everyone's faces showed excitement, so he picked up the Ling Flag in his hand and waved it gently.

"No!" Hearing Di Rui's order, whether it was Ji Xuan, Zhiyong or the others, their faces couldn't help but show excitement.

But in the space they couldn't see, a purple-gold divine dragon of nearly twenty zhang looked at Beiqucheng with cold eyes.

In the sky above Beiqucheng, there was a red dragon of nearly 100 zhang, looking at each other without showing weakness, and let out bursts of angry roars.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" One by one, the generals returned to their camps, constantly boosting their morale, their eyes were scarlet, and the demons fled with rage!

Then, around Beiqucheng, there were a number of strangely shaped chariots that were pulled over, and they were lined up and assembled in the rear of the army, a full hundred vehicles!

This is the Ministry of Engineering to transform the siege of the city with a sharp weapon, the frame of the stone throwing machine has a fixed horizontal axis between the two pillars, there is a lever perpendicular to the axis, can rotate freely around the axis.

Several soldiers quickly stepped forward, fixed a weight on the short arm of the lever, and then put 300 catties of stones in the bullet bag (a sleeve similar to a catapult) at the end of the long arm, and at the same time used a winch to pull the long arm back to almost horizontal!

The commander holding the order flag in front of the "launch" forcefully shook off the command flag in his hand, and the hundreds of stone throwers suddenly let go, and the stone bags were quickly raised. The short-arm hammer fell completely, and huge stones flew out of the rear of the Jin army at an angle of about forty-five degrees from the bullet bag, and smashed towards Beiqu City, which was hundreds of zhang away!
