The sun had just shown its face in the morning, and Jiang Dongbing pushed the newly built siege equipment to the bottom of the city wall and to the edge of the trench.
Under the city wall, basically everything was burned to a pitch black.
Jiangdong's previous two batches of siege vehicles were burned down. But now a new batch of siege vehicles has arrived, and most of the trenches have been filled with sand, gravel and debris.
The Jiangdong soldiers could even easily set up siege equipment on the edge of the trench and then push it under the city wall.
While waiting for the attack not far from the wall, two shield carts with wooden roofs were pushed slowly to the city gate, and then a spear pole with a rope hook stretched out from the shield cart.
Reach out and drag those corpses that are in the way, and move them away so as not to block the attack route.
Gan Ning on the city wall frowned and looked at it, very unhappy, and even wanted to throw two cans of kerosene down, but Zhuge Liang had no choice but to give orders. From today on, there will be "no" kerosene...
"Come on!" Gan Ning became more and more angry as he watched, "Find a stone and smash it for me!"
Although the target of the shield car is not small, and it is not as flexible as a human being, and can avoid stones, but it was not accurate when thrown from the top of the city. In the end, several pieces were thrown and one was knocked down.
The other car saw the situation was bad and ran away.
Huang Gai watched silently, observed, and thought.
"The first thing to do when attacking a city is to cut off its will..." Huang Gai said slowly, as if he was telling himself to confirm his own judgment, "Looking at it now, the will to defend the city is strong, and we can't."
Shake... people are coming! Prepare to call the slingshots and ballistas from the building ships!』
In the sieges in the game, the catapults are banging and the chariots are charging. It is really impossible for soldiers to swarm up and attack with swords and guns to take down the city. However, in fact, siege warfare is a very long process.
So Mahou speeds up the process, otherwise...
There was probably another group of guys shouting about this water and that water.
Huang Gai finally used the catapult and ballista on the ship. After using the crude tools for the past two days, he concluded that the equipment in the city had also been damaged accordingly. If he continued to use it and forced it, there would be no equipment in Zigui City.
used.
Catapults, catapults, and crossbows, these silly, big, black and thick guys, are not actually peerless technologies. Although in terms of accuracy, durability, and related assembly convenience, Kodong's equipment may not be able to keep up with the level of the hussars, but it is not
It said it couldn't be used. Huang Gai couldn't use these before. On the one hand, it was due to the height difference in the terrain, and on the other hand, the accuracy was too poor, so he didn't dare to fight against the positions in the mountains.
And now...
Another point is that after Chen Wu has fallen out with Huang Gai, he is no longer in the same boat with Huang Gai...well, in the same boat.
"Zigui! We must defeat it!"
Chen Wu said in a deep voice, "This is the disadvantage of Jiangdong! We have the convenience of water transportation, but we are also restricted by it! If we don't conquer Zigui, we will be threatened at all times, and we can't escape even if we go around!"
Only by capturing Zigui can we continue to advance. Whoever captures Zigui first will have made great contributions to Jiangdong!"
Compared with Huang Gai who was relatively obscure, Chen Wu was very straightforward in front of his men. After all, if you go around in circles, it would be more troublesome for rangers like them not to understand.
Someone stood on the side of the boat, pointed at the battlefield and shouted, "Look! Governor Huang has used catapults and ballistae!"
Chen Wu heard the sound, stood up, walked over, took a look, and sneered: "It's only used now, really... should I say that he is cautious? Or that he has been scared out of his wits? Haha, hahahaha..."
People around Chen Wu also laughed at him.
"Is there any new news from Jiangdong?" Chen Wu waved his hand and ignored the commotion on the battlefield. Instead, he walked back to the cabin to discuss with his confidants.
Chen Wu's confidant nodded and said, "An urgent military report came this morning, saying that General Zhu has contacted the Ba people and is instigating the Ba people to march into Sichuan. He will take action soon... In addition, it is said that Cao Jun went north.
, said he wanted to fight Wuhuan...』
"Wuhuan?" Chen Wu was stunned.
"Yes, it is said that Prime Minister Cao personally dispatched, marched north to Wuhuan, killed more than a thousand Wuhuan rebels, and captured cattle and sheep without any calculation... These are all rumors from Jiangbei, are they specific... General, this Cao army went north, is it?
Aren't we the only ones left to fight against the Hussars? Can we still win?" Chen Wu's confidant asked with some anxiety.
Chen Wu frowned.
Everyone looked at Chen Wu.
The Hussars pay great attention to military merit and take merits on the battlefield as the most important thing. Is it the same in other places? Of course, this is also the tradition of the feudal dynasty during times of war. Once it enters a period of peace, the warriors are vulgar, just like when they are in urgent need of urination.
The toilet is nice. After peeing, I pinch my nose and feel nauseated.
"If that's really the case..." Chen Wu frowned and said, "That's really difficult. After all, it's difficult to support a tree alone... No, we can't just wait here! Zigui must be taken as soon as possible! And it's best if we take it.
Come down!』
"Huh? General...Didn't you say this before..." Chen Wu's confidants couldn't understand.
Chen Wu said: "This is not to say that we are showing weakness now, but if Cao Jun is really just going north and not cooperating with us, then the march into Sichuan and Shu may be suspended at any time... If it really comes to that time
, we didn’t accomplish anything at all, we just ran away like this...you think, huh?”
"General, it seems that the Sichuan and Shu soldiers are quite well prepared. They have been attacking for several days but have not been able to get in... If we carry out a strong attack, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties..." Chen Wu's confidant said.
Chen Wu nodded, thinking, and then clapped his hands, "Yes! Let's dig a tunnel!"
"Authentic?" asked the confidant.
"That's right, just use the shield car to cover it and dig in from the trench of the city wall! First dig a trench to protect against infantry, then build a parapet, and then dig in behind the parapet!" Chen Wu laughed and seemed to be
I came up with a brilliant idea.
"Ah? From that side of the trench?" Chen Wu's confidants were stunned, and then looked at each other with the others, "General, in this case, aren't we digging in front of the city? Everyone standing on the city can see it.
Is that so? Then the Sichuan and Shu soldiers can easily determine the location and then fill them with smoke or water, or even dig tunnels..."
Chen Wu laughed, "I just want them to see it!"
Chen Wu glanced at everyone again and then leisurely solved the mystery, "It really takes until the Year of the Horse and Monkey to dig the tunnel?! No one can shout...can't wait? So we have to make a good show! Zigui City
The people don't dare to let us dig a tunnel so close! If we can't attack for a while, we have to lure them out! Only in this way can we have a chance! Moreover, Old Man Huang can't take the credit from us!
』
……(^.^)YYa!!……
The smoke on the battlefield slowly dispersed in the wind.
Under the head of Zigui City, there were layers of corpses, and the smell of blood filled the world.
Neither Huang Gai nor Chen Wu cared much about such huge damage.
Because the core of Jiangdong's soldiers are the general's private soldiers, just like the direct troops in Huang Gai's hands and the Lujiang Shangjia in Chen Wu's hands. As for the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, I don't really care how many casualties there are. Because those casualties are
Many of the soldiers in Jiangdong were Shanyue.
Zigui City itself is also in dilapidated condition. The city walls are covered with black stains from the flames. The large and small potholes caused by stone bullets, the damaged battlements, and the crooked and collapsed gate tower are undoubtedly on display.
Just a little bit, work harder, work harder, and you can win...
Huang Gai stood on the high platform and looked up.
Chen Wu was leading people closer to the city with a very clear purpose, which was to get there first.
Huang Gai looked at Chen Wu's army with a solemn expression, and there were countless thoughts flashing in his eyes. Chen Wu seemed to have noticed Huang Gai's gaze, so he looked back.
It seemed that his eyes crossed with Huang Gai's in the air.
After a large number of exchanges of catapults and ballistae, only a few catapults of Jiangdong soldiers survived, and they were smashing the Zigui city wall one after another.
The garrison at Zigui should basically withdraw, because the soldiers he sent out to encircle the rear should have arrived by now.
Huang Gai judged, so he did not compete with Chen Wu to ascend first, but prepared to intercept and kill the retreating soldiers from Zigui.
Although the Zigui city wall has been repaired to some extent, it is not a majestic city after all. It has been maintained for such a long time. It can be said that the Sichuan-Shu Army is well prepared. For the Sichuan-Shu Army, there is no need for them to occupy a city like Zigui that they do not occupy.
Fighting in a city with special advantages...
After all, the road to Sichuan is still long, and the Sichuan-Shu Army only needs to drag it slowly, and then form a decisive attack on Yufu. So is it necessary for the Sichuan-Shu Army to fight until they run out of ammunition and food in Zigui?
Obviously not necessary.
Chen Wu came to ask for orders, and Huang Gai didn't make things difficult for him. Although Huang Gai did not like Chen Wu, considering the overall situation of Jiangdong, there was no need for him to deliberately stumble, and that was enough.
After all, this battle is going to take a long time, and the journey is also very long.
After being burned once, Huang Gai also restrained his slightly arrogant mentality before and began to show the sophistication of Jiangdong's veteran general.
Amid the sound of war drums, a new round of attacks began again.
Soon, Jiangdong soldiers began to dig soil under the shield car, and the excavated soil was piled on both sides of the shield car. While strengthening the shield car, it also connected the shield car to form an earth wall.
The Sichuan and Shu soldiers on the city wall kept poking their heads and observing the movements of Jiangdong Army.
Both sides' catapults and ballistae were damaged. Generally speaking, Jiangdong suffered more damage. This is just because Huang Gai had built many more crude siege equipment before, so in fact, in terms of consumption endurance of both sides,
It seems that Jiangdong's army has the upper hand.
Now Jiangdong Army's catapults have gradually advanced to the bottom of the city and began to bombard the Zigui city wall.
The more accurate ballistae from both sides have basically been exchanged.
The stone bullets roared through the air, and then hit the city wall, or crossed the city wall and landed in the city.
Jiangdong's soldiers seemed to be digging very quickly. The dust in the shield workshop was flying and the mounds were quickly piled up. Jiangdong's catapults also continued to bombard the city wall. As a result, the Zigui defenders seemed to have to become fewer and fewer and retreat further and further away.
Chen Wu and his men were waiting far away from the shield chariot when they suddenly heard some noise. He turned around and saw some figures shaking on the wall on the west side of Zigui, apparently trying to contain Jiangdong's army from the flanks.
However, Huang Gai's sentry discovered him early. Before he could leave the city gate, he was hit by a hail of arrows, and he was immediately stuck near the city gate.
"Their morale is low..." Chen Wu looked at it, snorted, and then said, "It's no wonder, after all, the catapult is smashing... If you are really brave, maybe you can really involve some soldiers here... No!
This is an attack from the east to the west! Let your men prepare, the ones inside may rush out!』
Chen Wu expected it to be true. When there was such a big battle at the west gate, there was a sudden riot in Chen Wu's direction. Many defenders were thrown out from the city wall. Arrows rained down, and they were instantly attacked.
Jiang Dongbing, who was near the city gate, shot and killed someone who was caught off guard. Immediately, the city gate opened with a bang, and Gan Ning rushed out with his men.
Huang Gai's archers were covering the west city gate. They were unable to turn around for a while, but Gan Ning and others rushed out and dispersed the Jiangdong soldiers behind the shield chariot in the ditch.
Chen Wu immediately ordered Lujiang Shangjia to go forward to attack.
Among Jiangdong soldiers, there are not many who are good at fighting on land, and Lujiang Shangjia may be one of them.
Of course, there are very few people who are good at cavalry combat in Jiangdong. The main reason is that there are few war horses in Jiangdong. It is not enough to provide high-ranking officials and senior generals. How can there be extra cavalry? So many Jiangdong people
Those who have never ridden a horse in their life can at most ride a donkey.
Perhaps due to the instinctive attraction between rangers, Gan Ning set his sights on Chen Wu, and Chen Wu also set his sights on Gan Ning. What's even more interesting is that the soldiers of both sides fought on the outside in unison, leaving an open space in the center for both sides.
duel between generals.
This may be a rather strange situation that only occurs among ranger generals.
Blood stained land.
Charred remains.
Amidst the constant shouts, roars, exclamations and screams from the surrounding area, the weapons intersected and sparks flew everywhere.
Life and death are in the next moment!
Perhaps this kind of separation of flesh and blood at the next moment, one step on life and one step on death, is the ranger's favorite and the most intense stimulation.
Don't worry about life, don't be afraid of death.
Put all your spirit and all your strength into the fight in front of you.
"clang!"
There was a loud noise.
Gan Ning and Chen Wu finally collided with each other during the continuous transformation and testing. Their swords crossed each other, sparks flew everywhere, and it seemed that even the swords in their hands made an overwhelming hissing sound, which pierced the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers.
Uncomfortable.
"A certain person is Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba!"
Gan Ning grinned, then bumped Chen Wu away, and the two regained a certain distance.
Chen Wu also smiled, "Chen Wu Chen Zilie!"
"You're not bad!" Gan Ning shook the thick-backed knife, and the gold ring on the back of the knife clanked.
Chen Wu also snorted, "You're not bad either!"
As they spoke, as if they had made an appointment, the two of them pounced on each other again almost at the same time!
Although the two people's swords flashed and they made many moves to confuse each other, in the end the two people's swords collided together again, making a louder sound than the last time, and both sides were shocked.
Their bodies were unstable and they all retreated again.
Chen Wu glanced at his sword slightly, and then his eyebrows jumped. There was a hole in the sword. He looked up at Gan Ning, and saw that Gan Ning seemed to be checking the sword, but it seemed that the damage was not serious.
…
Dry!
Chen Wu looked at Gan Ning's smile and felt that he was smiling evilly.
That's right, Gan Ning did it on purpose.
Gan Ning liked to use his big dick to touch other people's dicks.
After all, Gan Ning's guy is thicker, bolder and longer...
Chen Wu narrowed his eyes, breathed evenly, and slightly stretched out the sword in his hand, gathering momentum to take action.
If you don't want to continue to win with strength, then you must naturally defeat Gan Ning with skill. Therefore, the most important thing is to make good use of your opponent's heavier weapons and lower attack frequency, control the distance of the attack, and not pursue a one-hit kill.
, but changed it to cut into pieces.
Gan Ning also noticed that Chen Wu had changed his fighting strategy. He clicked his tongue, held the knife in both hands and stood in front of him.
Just as the momentum of both sides was rising and they were getting ready to attack, they suddenly heard the sound of gold ringing above the Zigui city!
Gan Ning snorted and took a step back, "I'll spare your life today!" After saying that, without waiting for Chen Wu's reply, he called the soldiers to retreat.
Chen Wu glanced at the figure shaking on the broken wall of Zigui, and wanted to chase him, but he was obviously in danger of being shot by the archers on the top of the Zigui city. It was somewhat worthless, so he put away his sword.
, did not pursue him, but laughed loudly and said, "You are just a lost dog, and you have been defeated! How dare you speak so boldly! If you have the guts, don't run away! I will fight with you, Grandpa Chen, San Lily!"
Gan Ning didn't reply and went straight into the city. He found Zhuge Liang with some anger or resentment.
"Why do you need to pay me for your job?! Wait a moment, and someone will behead the enemy general!"
"That's almost enough," Zhuge Liang smiled, waved his hands and said, "Starting from today, we will gradually reduce the number of defensive troops... Xingba, we have to prepare to withdraw..."
"Aha?" Gan Ning's eyes widened, "Withdraw...withdraw?! Why?!"
I am Gan·Aotian·Xingba·Ning, and withdrawal has never been mentioned in the dictionary...
Well, there is still some.
But after losing the last time, Gan Ning was full of desire to win back. Originally, Zhuge Liang said that the show was coming later, but he just couldn't bear to fight with Fa Ping. As a result, he finally went out to fight once and was recalled by Ming Jin.
, there was some resentment in his heart, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Why should we withdraw?! Zhuge is engaged!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If we don't withdraw, will we just waste it here with Jiangdong's troops? Doesn't that just fall into Jiangdong's calculation?"
"What calculation?" Gan Ning was a little confused.
Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly and looked at the mountains and forests to the north of Zigui, "General Gan, don't you think that the people of Jiangdong are really that stupid and only know how to fight us head-on under the city walls?"
