Text Chapter 441 Night Floating Corpse
Strictly speaking, the latest 7,000 Wei troops who appeared here did not look like the elite border army, but were better at building bridges and paving roads.
Shen Kun didn't know much about the topography of Zhongli, and he thought that this Wei army was piled up into a continent out of thin air in the middle of the Huaishui with huge trees floating upstream, but in fact, there were small islands protruding from the water in the middle of the Huaishui itself, and during the dry season, some villagers along the coast would even drive cattle and sheep up to graze.
But the two largest of these small continents can only accommodate a thousand people, this Wei army only took a few days and nights to connect most of the small continents with driftwood and mounds of earth, 7,000 Wei troops are stationed on them, and the military camp seems to occupy only a corner of this large state, giving people the feeling that another 20,000 or 30,000 people are more than enough.
What really made some of the generals in the city want to flee without a fight was that in addition, the 7,000 Wei troops laid pontoon bridges while driving piles, and in just one day and night, they built a road on the turbulent water that could reach the north bank of Huaishui.
The road was even passable for horses and carts, and even ox carts loaded with heavy loads.
Huaishui was originally a natural danger, if the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have a naval army, it was tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the opposite shore who could not pass, and if they wanted to detour along the north bank, they would inevitably fight with the border troops of the northern states and counties of the Southern Dynasty and lose their fighters.
However, now that the moat has changed into a thoroughfare, the Wei army on the other side of the river can continue to directly attack the city, and these timid generals in the city just dare not think about it.
It's just that for the brave generals of the Southern Dynasty like Wang Chaozong, death is death, but they were directly frightened by such a Wei army that was not good at fighting and was only good at building roads and bridges, and then died in the chaos of fleeing, then it was really dead, and I couldn't swallow it in one breath.
As he thought, when the generals who tried to sneak away were dragged to the north wall and hanged directly, with the continuous provocation and scolding of the soldiers in the city, the Wei army, which could not rest, began to advance towards Zhongli City in the night.
Some of the prefabricated floating rows are constantly pushed into the water with ropes, and a large number of Northern Wei Dynasty soldiers are wrapped around floating objects and jump directly into the water, and it is not clear how these Northern Wei soldiers move in the water at night, but the fixed speed of those floating rows is very amazing, and all the Southern Dynasty soldiers on the north wall can be sure that if they don't do something, then I am afraid that before sunrise, these floating rows can extend all the way to the city wall.
Many of the Southern Dynasty soldiers on the north wall were still under the double stimulation of the panic of the execution of the city's top generals, and the excitement of the exaltation after the execution of those generals inevitably led to the loss of sufficient restraint and temporary confusion for some people.
Before the sound of military orders sounded, there were already sparse arrows breaking through the air and the sound of some ordnance roaring.
The first to do it was the Southern Dynasty sergeants on the northern wall, but the Wei army's counterattack was beyond the imagination of all the Southern Dynasty sergeants on the city wall.
In the night, there were constantly Northern Wei soldiers jumping onto the floating row that had been fixed, and then opened their bows and fired.
The sound of violent arrows continued to sound, and as more and more Wei troops appeared, the rain of arrows shot from the water in the night had formed an overwhelming momentum.
The Southern Dynasty sergeants on the north wall were shocked to find that the number of archers in this Northern Wei army far exceeded their imagination.
On this wall facing the water, there were only more than two hundred archers on the side of the Southern Dynasty, but among the Wei troops on the floating row on the water, there were at least seven or eight hundred archers shooting.
The feather arrows, which should be cherished at all times, seemed to be like ordinary firewood in the eyes of the Wei army, and they didn't seem to care about the consumption of feather arrows at all.
A general with a shield in hand frowned in bewilderment, but he soon found the answer.
In the midst of these violent arrows, several strange noises soon appeared.
There was a whining sound in the already chaotic air, as if some kind of giant thing was approaching.
The general's eyes narrowed, and he saw several arm-thick black shadows fall from above all the arrows.
The targets of these shadows were not anyone on the walls, nor the armaments fixed on the walls, but the walls themselves.
These black shadows all smashed into the city wall with great precision.
All the sergeants on the walls felt the shaking of the walls.
The shield-wielding general had already leaned out.
He saw that the stone chips on the city wall were scattered, and these black shadows were steel bolts as thick as children's arms, and at the end of the end, there were thin steel cables, and at the other end of these steel cables were connected to several ballistas on floating rows.
The ballista carts were inconspicuous, and from a distance he thought they were just miscellaneous items dragged by some carts and horses.
"Wang Dynasty Sect!"
Without any hesitation, the moment he saw the ballista carts that did not appear to be tall, the general shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder.
Wang Chaozong, who was originally patrolling the city vigilantly, suddenly struck.
In his opinion, Zhong Licheng's biggest enemy tonight was inside the city, not outside the city, but when he heard such a sound on the north wall, and when he took the next breath, his body also shot towards the north wall like an arrow from the string.
"These northern barbarians borrowed the steel cable of this crossbow arrow company to directly drag the driftwood over!"
His figure had just appeared behind the general in the rain of arrows, and the general with the shield had already shouted at him, and at the same time kept shouting to people to go to the wall with him.
Wang Chaozong made a leap to his side, looked down, and saw that bubbles were constantly surging in the water, and many Northern Wei soldiers who were almost completely naked kept emerging from under the water, and they all had a hook claw in their hands, and the steel cable attached to the end of the crossbow arrow on the city wall was also
