For three consecutive days, the Shu army did not attack the city.
The only thing they do.
Just keep carrying stones from the mountains and forests back to the camp.
Until the morning of July 30th.
Woo, woo, woo——
Boom, boom, boom——
A burst of drums and trumpets sounded, and the Shu army outside the north gate of Chencang slowly advanced towards the city gate.
"Get ready to fight!"
Hao Zhao was dressed in armor and stared at the Shu army outside the city. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Shu army attacked the city again. However, after three days of preparation, the city was now covered with rolling logs and rocks. Even if the Shu army attacked by force,
, If you want to break through Chencang, you have to waste a lot of effort.
"Don't panic."
"Wait until they get closer."
Wang Sheng also kept commanding the city guards. He wanted to wait until the Shu army approached the city, and then let the archers start shooting at the Shu army.
Because after more than ten days of strong attack by the Shu army, there were not many feather arrows left in the city, so now the feather arrows are very precious to the Wei army.
The soldiers of the Wei army guarding the city were all attentive. They had their bowstrings fully drawn and their eyes fixed on the slowly advancing Shu army outside the city.
"Damn it."
"Why are these Shu people not eating?"
"Can't you walk faster?"
A Wei soldier complained, and a companion next to him also echoed: "Do you think they are fools?"
"Going too fast."
"You will die faster."
"Hahaha~"
"Aren't they just here to die?"
"Come here early and die."
"It's better to take care of the child earlier."
The soldiers were talking in a flurry, and King Hao Zhao who was not far away did not stop them because the war was about to begin. The soldiers used this to relax their emotions, which was conducive to the subsequent fighting.
It's just that the speed of the Shu army's advance today is indeed a bit slow.
It's as if they were afraid that if they walked faster, they would trample the ants on the ground to death.
A few hundred meters away, this group of Shu troops walked in a daze for nearly half an hour.
When the Shu army was getting closer and closer, still about a hundred meters away from the city gate, Hao Zhao slowly raised his right hand, ready to issue his order at any time.
"Shoot."
"Cum for me."
"Shoot them."
When the front line of the Shu army was still fifty or sixty meters away from the city gate, Hao Zhao immediately gave the order, and the archers of the Wei army loosened their bow strings upon hearing the order.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The arrows flew down instantly, but the Shu army under the city held their shields high.
"Everyone squat down!"
A small colonel of the Han army was at the forefront of the team. When the Wei army's arrows had just been shot, he ordered his companions to stop advancing and then placed their shields in front.
It seems that they are not here to attack the city, because in their hands, except for a shield, they have no weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, but each of them has a brick in his hand.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
After the shields were set up, the Han army junior high schools kept urging the soldiers who came behind them. The soldiers who ran up to them hurriedly piled the bricks in their hands on the spot.
These swivels are not big, weighing about ten kilograms.
"Hurry up, five bricks in a row."
"Follow up."
A small school commander kept urging, and the soldiers turned around and immediately retreated. The soldiers behind them ran over to lay bricks.
What is this operation?
Hao Zhao and others on the city were completely confused by the Shu army below.
He originally thought that the Shu army was going to attack the city, but when they arrived at the city, they had no intention of attacking the city at all. However, as time went by, Hao Zhao discovered something unusual.
"Quick, quick!"
"They want to attack the city gate."
Hao Zhao pointed at the Shu army outside the city gate. He already understood the purpose of the Shu army, because Chencang City has no moat and there is a flat land outside the city. If the Shu army wants to attack the city, they only need to rush to the bottom of the city.
Just now they thought that the Shu army was going to attack the city, but they didn't expect that the Shu army was still fifty or sixty meters away from the city gate and began to build a corridor about three or four meters wide.
The corridor is entirely made of cement bricks. The walls of the corridor are five cement bricks thick and about two meters high. The top is covered by a shield.
Hao Zhao hurriedly ordered his soldiers to shoot at the corridor. He would never allow the Shu army to build the corridor to the city gate, because once it reached the city gate, the Shu army could hit the city gate in the corridor. However, it was difficult for the Wei army on the city.
Attack the Shu army in the corridor.
Countless feather arrows were shot at the newly piled corridor. The speed at which the Han soldiers were piling up soon slowed down because it was still more than ten meters away from the city gate.
As they move forward, the Wei army's rolling logs and rocks will threaten them.
Zhuge Liang, who was behind, also saw that the soldiers in front were in trouble.
"Siege the city!"
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, and thousands of Han troops rushed towards Chencang City like a tide.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
At the same time, the Han army's trebuchets began to attack. The stone bullets made a harsh whistling sound in the air, and the stone bullets banged against the city head one after another.
"Don't panic!"
"Don't panic!"
When the stone bullets flew randomly, the few thousand Wei soldiers left at the top of the city suddenly panicked. After all, the stone bullets did not have eyes. They kept falling on the top of the city, and they would either die or be injured if they hit them.
Hao Zhao was indeed a little anxious at the moment.
Zhuge Liang had attacked like this in the past, but when the stone bullets flew, the soldiers could hide in the city wall, but that was not possible today, because the Shu army under the city was building a corridor, and he had to send people to prevent the corridor from leading to the city gate.
p>
Zhuge Liang had no intention of giving him this opportunity.
The stone bombs never stopped attacking. At the same time, two thousand Han troops roared and rushed to the city. However, they did not rush to attack the city when they arrived because the stone bombs were thrown too densely. If they boarded the city now, they would also be attacked by stone bombs.
Attacked.
But it gave the Han army who built the corridor a chance.
Today, Zhuge Liang arranged nearly five thousand soldiers to carry bricks to build the corridor. This was a method Zhuge Qiao came up with after he came from Pubanjin a few days ago and told him about the cement bricks developed by Liu Chan.
Chencang City was difficult to attack, so he targeted the city gate.
If he used these cement bricks to build a corridor and then supplemented it with siege soldiers, he could quickly open the gate of Chencang. Once the gate was breached, the Han army could enter Chencang City.
There are currently only a thousand defenders in Chencang, and there are nearly 20,000 Han troops outside the city. As long as hundreds of Han troops enter the city, Chencang will be defeated.
The progress was very smooth at first, because Hao Zhao never expected that Zhuge Liang would use this move to attack the city, so when the Han army built more than ten meters of corridor, Hao Zhao realized that something was wrong and hurriedly attacked the progress of the corridor.
Now with the help of stone bullets, the Han army building the corridor speeded up again.
"Smash it quickly."
"Smash them to death."
After a round of stone bullets, Hao Zhao didn't care about the stone bullets. He threw his sword, picked up a stone, and threw it near the city gate.
Bang bang bang.
With Hao Zhao taking the lead, Wei soldiers also responded.
"Ah."
A soldier yelled, picked up the stone, and threw it at the Han army below the city. The Wei army on the city risked their lives by throwing rocks and rolling wood. The Han army that had rushed to the city soon started roaring.
"Fight with me."
"Ascend the city."
A primary school principal took the lead with his sword out of its sheath and ran towards Chenggen.
