Chapter 524 You said Mr. Wu An is afraid of you? Ridiculous!
The old Qin people roared and sang Qin Feng and charged towards the huge city that suddenly rose from the ground.
The Wei soldiers put down their arrows and instead climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and threw locust stones downwards.
There were too many people climbing on the Qin army, like ants clinging to them. The Wei army did not need to aim at all, they just threw them down hard, and they would always hear the impact of stones and armor.
"If you make a big effort, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. Qin Gou will not be able to hold on for long!"
Zhou Shi roared loudly, and the loud messenger carried his voice to the top of the city wall.
He picked up a big stone and threw it down. Zhou Shi didn't even look at the result. He picked up a big stone and threw it down hard, shouting and ordering.
"The enemy will not move their vehicles, and you will not cut down the ladders! I, Zhou Shi, stand with you! Kill more Qin dogs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, flames streaked across the sky, like pieces of burning meteorites, covering the head of Linji City.
Zhou Shi's pro-army troops were well prepared, and they all picked up wooden shields and stood beside Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi's eyes widened. There was no time to use the ladder to trap Qin Dog. The carriage came.
He and the two or four guards around him worked together to push down the ladder in front of him, and then shouted an order.
"The car has arrived, push the ladder!"
The chariot, similar to a trebuchet, is a Chinese siege weapon and the earliest air cover.
"Mozi: Preparing the City Gate" records: A large wall of wood two feet and four inches long was chiseled out early, and a charcoal fire was placed in it to admire it, and then a borrowed cart was thrown into it.
There are no chariots, and the defenders are condescending. Even if their numbers are less than one-tenth of the siege force, as long as they have sufficient food and grass and maintain their will, it will be difficult to defeat them in a hundred years.
Living people and dead bodies were mixed together and fell at the foot of Linji City, and it was impossible to tell which was which.
Just by rushing here, the Qin army lost more than a hundred people.
The first to arrive will be far away and unable to see the light.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered, this number is definitely small.
If a person who has the power to conquer a thousand warriors ascends first, he or she will have to catch up with several thousand warriors.
The burning stones fell irregularly, restraining the unscrupulous Wei soldiers at the top of the city, but did not cause too many casualties.
Although the stones thrown up had charcoal fire in their hollows, there was nothing flammable at the top of Linji City, which was made of stone and loess.
As for the inferior arrows, gold juice, and other city defense weapons, there is an eaves-like building slanting toward the ground. The flints thrown by the carts can only stir up a burst of dust on the eaves, and then roll away helplessly, unable to damage anything.
.
Only some guards who were extremely unlucky and not strong enough were hit by the randomly falling flints and died on the spot without breathing.
Taking the chariot too seriously, the siege party came to kill them.
If you don't take your registered car seriously, there is a very small chance that you will die.
The deterrent effect of a car is far greater than its lethality, and the psychological pressure it causes on people is far greater than the physical pressure.
This is a siege equipment, and it is also a heart attack equipment. It tests the fighting will of the defenders.
There was continuous artillery fire, and Zhou Shi looked around at the Wei soldiers.
They are methodical and have different expressions. Blood, Qin wind, and carriages cannot make them flinch at all. They splash gold juice, push up ladders, and stand on the top of the city and loudly curse you damn Qin dogs.
Forced by the destruction of their country and their family, the Wei soldiers who were not Wei soldiers also began to fight for their lives.
On the day when the flood destroyed the beam, they had no chance to make it up this time.
Qin Feng was still loud, but the roaring tiger and wolf troops stopped at the foot of Linji City, and they were blocked.
"I am lucky to be able to see the general now."
Zhou Shi looked back and saw a man wearing a close-fitting shorts and a beard.
Zhou Shi wiped his face from top to bottom, and the blood and sweat mixed together, forming a big painted face, which was a bit scary.
"In your opinion, how long can I keep guard?"
His expression was indifferent, and although he was surrounded by stench and blood, he still had an aura of nobility.
"I heard that the general has accumulated 700,000 stones of grain and grass in Linji, and 40,000 troops. Stones and trees within a hundred miles have been collected by the general to Linji to resist the Qin army. If the general holds on to Linji and does not come out, he will
Even if Wang Jian comes in person, he can't break it in a year."
The bunt man bowed his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
"But the general is really willing to do so."
"What are you willing to do?"
"To be willing to defend the city and not leave, but to be reviled by the enemy and afraid of fighting, is a bastard who hides in his shell..."
The bunt man was forced to interrupt before he could finish his words.
Two two-foot swords were placed on his neck, and the owners of the two swords were soldiers with burning eyes.
"Let him go."
Zhou Shi gave the order, and the two soldiers snorted coldly and withdrew their swords, leaving two slender blood marks.
The bunt man didn't even frown, nor did he reach out to touch the painful spot on his neck. He just looked at Zhou Shi calmly.
…………
Qin army camp.
The second emperor held a simple and large case with both hands and stared at the map, as if in a daze.
In front of him, the generals of Da Qin kept talking.
"Bypass the city!"
In the Qin army camp, the white-haired Lian Po said in a deep voice.
The veteran tapped the map.
"Today's Linji reminds me of Handan. Our army cannot conquer it."
Li Xin, who urgently returned to camp to discuss matters, looked unhappy. It was his former army that was attacking the city now.
"The power of Qin's sword is unstoppable. This city is just a trapped beast still fighting. Is the lieutenant afraid because of his old age?"
"The Handan I guarded, defeated the king's tomb, defeated the king???, Bai Qi did not dare to attack. This Linji, regardless of morale and preparation, is almost the same as the Handan after Changping. I said you can't attack Linji, that is
Unbreakable!"
Li Xin wanted to argue again.
[You said Mr. Wu An is afraid of you? Ridiculous!]
Meng Tian grabbed his younger brother who was eager to avenge his shame and was confused.
"Second opinion, the Wei Kingdom's initial recovery power will not be able to build many cities of this kind. Tian suspects that there is only one, and there will be a smooth way around it."
His father, Meng Wu, was a student of Bai Qi, and he knew very well that eighty percent of what Lian Po said was true.
It's just that the word "fear" is worth debating.
According to my father, Lord Wu An is not afraid of anyone, but he never fights useless battles that are bound to be lost.
A few years after the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Handan was defended by Lian Po, which Bai Qi regarded as a losing battle.
Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, who refused to lead the army to attack Handan of Zhao State, died for King Zhaoxiang of Qin after Qin's defeat.
Young general Zhao Tuo jumped out.
"By bypassing Linji, our army is surrounded by enemies from both sides. We are always worried that the Linji defenders will take the retreat and the food route will not be protected. This city must be captured!"
The mature and steady Ren Xiao continued:
"Fighting head-on, our Qin army is not afraid of anyone. We have led 30,000 elite troops to camp here. If we can't stand Linji, I give you this order!"
Tu Sui shook his head.
"It's not appropriate. Bypassing Linji will greatly extend the journey, and we have to pass through the forest. There is no road, so the soldiers and horses can walk, but the carriage will be difficult. General Ren can keep an eye on the Linji defenders, but he can't speed up the grain trucks."
Cities were built in areas that were contested by military strategists, such as Linji on the bank of the Yellow River.
The Qin Dynasty had only a few transportation networks, and the hubs of the transportation network were very important cities.
These cities either relied on mountain dangers or were built along water. Having a city provided an effective geographical location to contain other cities.
If you can't get a city and take a detour, not only will it take too much time, but logistical support will also be difficult to achieve. In ancient times, food and grass were the most important thing in wars. People can take a detour, but food and grass are too difficult.
