Liang Yun said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is a strict order not to retreat, so we are here to fight hard. If there is no one at the top of the city, then we can directly attack the city wall, and they will not have time to go up to the city again."
Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Ignore him, just hit him hard. I don't believe you can't break the Shouchun City Wall!"
The arm of the huge catapult began to fall and rise again and again under the neat pulling of more than ten strong men, while the watermelon-sized stones placed at the back end roared and flew into the air.
, and threw it at the opposite city head from a distance. Where it was hit, the clay battlements were smashed into pieces, and behind the battlements, the Jin army sergeants standing on the female wall were smashed into pieces.
The ground was smashed down, raindrops fell off the city wall, wailing and screams were heard, and many Jin troops on the city could even be seen running back and forth in panic.
Liang Fei laughed loudly and said bitterly: "You idiot, if I ask you to burrow into the ground again, you will fall into the ground, and I will let you go up to the sky. Come on, fly another one." As he spoke, the body of a Jin army,
After being hit by a flying stone, it flew away at least five or six feet away like a piece of lint. Together with the stone, it fell behind the city wall. It took a long time before a cloud of smoke and dust rose up.
Liang Yun's eyes widened, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, I'm really right. Brother, look, it's really flying."
Liang Cheng looked coldly at the human bodies flying everywhere on the city top, and nodded: "Strange, how could Liu Jinu make such a stupid mistake and let so many soldiers go to the city to defend? And
Those curtains are no longer needed?"
Xu Shichong smiled and said: "Shouchun City is small, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians inside. Even if we hide, where can we hide? The curtains are probably used up. Brother, no matter what, the city wall has been bombarded like this by us."
Even if there is an ambush, he won't be able to strengthen the city wall."
Liang Cheng smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. Okay, here's the order for 10,000 people to attack the city!"
Shouchun North City, on top of the city, thousands of straw men wearing Jin army uniforms are falling one after another with the attack of flying rocks. If you stand in the city and observe, you will find that these straw men have waists
They were tied with long ropes and were held by the people below the city. Sometimes, even before the stone was completely hit, as long as the rope was pulled, these straw men fell to the bottom of the city, while the people below the city moved the ropes in their hands.
, while screaming loudly and loudly, this is where the sound Liang Cheng heard came from.
Inside the city wall, there are many hollow mezzanine layers. Xu Yuanlang was in one of the mezzanine layers. He pulled out a small brick from the gap in front of him and watched the changes outside with Dao Yanzhi. The attack of flying stones had stopped, and in
On this front, which is less than three miles wide, a wave of Qin infantrymen are marching forward in formation, holding shields and long spears. Behind them are a dense group of archers, and behind them are soldiers carrying shields on their shoulders and carrying poles in their hands.
They were light infantrymen carrying long ladders or carrying a long rope hook on their shoulders. Obviously, these people would be the main force climbing the city in a while.
Xu Yuanlang sneered and said: "It seems that the thieves are going to attack the city, Yanzhi (Xu Yuanlang has already begun to directly address him like this to show intimacy and trust), what do you think?"
Yanzhi smiled slightly and said: "Their stones were almost destroyed, but they only destroyed some of our fortifications at the top of the city. Our army suffered almost no losses. The catapults in the residences behind the city were also intact, but in our case
It seems that Liang Cheng is still cautious. He did not attack all the elites at once, and most of the attackers seemed to be light infantry. This shows that this attack will be mainly probing, and they do not expect to be able to attack the city in one wave.
Take it."
Xu Yuanlang nodded: "That's true. Then our army can't use all its strength to defend. Otherwise, when the enemy sees that we are still very strong, they will never invest their reserve forces in the attack. Instead, they will withdraw and then use flying stones."
After all, our city walls are not strong enough to attack the city. They will definitely not be able to sustain the attack for ten days and a half."
Yanzhi smiled and said: "Exactly, Zhuangzhu Liu said that the best way to defend is to injure the enemy. Now, we have to find a way to make the enemy think that as long as they work harder, Beicheng can be captured.
Let them see hope, but they cannot be allowed to attack the city at once, so my subordinates suggest that a thousand civilians be sent to defend the city, which should be enough."
Xu Yuanlang smiled and said: "Okay, after they finish shooting with bows and arrows, send a thousand civilians to the top of the city, 3,000 elite soldiers will stay below the city, and 500 archers will shoot from behind the city to kill and injure the enemy's infantry below the city."
The Qin army's front infantry had advanced past the pink line of three hundred steps, two hundred steps, and one hundred steps. They stood outside the city wall. Hundreds of large wooden shields were quickly placed in front of the army, forming a barrier.
, and more than 3,000 archers emerged from behind the shields one after another, and began to draw their bows and fire arrows at the city head. The auxiliary soldiers, carrying sandbags and earth bags, emerged from behind the shields like mice and ants, and fired arrows at the city.
These things were thrown into the dry moat ditch, and soon the ditch, which was only five feet wide and four feet deep, was basically flat.
The commanders of the Qin army behind the shield were not idle either. Liang Cheng specifically emphasized the need to prevent the defenders in the city from attacking. In addition, they had all seen with their own eyes what happened to the scolding soldiers, and no one wanted to take advantage of themselves.
His life was a joke, and he didn't want to be stabbed to death by the knives and spears that suddenly emerged from the slant. Therefore, while the archers were shooting and the auxiliary soldiers were filling the ditch, these spearmen were also looking into the land around them.
I kept stabbing for a while, fearing that some earth element would suddenly appear from somewhere.
Waves of jet-black arrows emerged from the formation and flew towards the city wall. The distance of a hundred steps was still beyond the reach of most archers. Ninety-five percent of the arrows were in front of the city wall.
Falling down, the area thirty to forty steps away from the city wall was almost densely packed with arrows. As bursts of arrow rain passed by, the "Jin soldiers" at the top of the city fell like raindrops.
Falling, screams came and went, echoing in the air, mixed with the sound of arrows piercing the air.
As the trench was filled up, the Qin army's archers also began to move forward gradually, five steps, ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps, and finally they all stood at a line about fifty steps away from the city wall.
The arrows shot here can finally reach the top of the city. Many Jin army "sergeants" on the top of the city fell down after being hit by arrows, and screams began to sound. But strangely, there was no arrow on the top of the city.
One arrow shot down, and he was washed away by the Qin army's arrow rain, unable to fight back!
