Chapter 244: The Chu Army Approaches Xiayou City, Encountered on Both Sides
There was a whooshing sound in the sky, and huge black unknown objects flew towards the city tower. Some of them flew close and hit the nearby ice cones, while the farther ones hit the ice not far from the city wall.
The sand wall is the last barrier
Occasionally, a few huge rocks fell on the open space between the ice wall and the south city tower, creating five or six pits several feet deep. The dust was flying. Only then did Yu Chen see clearly that the stones that were shot were actually as long and wide as
It's more than fifty centimeters. If such a big stone hits someone, it will definitely cause blood and flesh to fly.
"My lord, you should go down to the tower first? This place is too dangerous..." Du Ping looked at the big rocks flying and falling in front of him, and he quickly advised Yu Chen to go down the tower.
Yu Chen shook his head lightly, still staring at the siege machine in the distance, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good... Several rooms in the city were hit, and several people died..." The sound of urgent footsteps came, and soldiers came to report to Yu Chen.
Du Ping had just seen a few smaller stones flying over his head and falling into the city. Only then did he realize that they had hit private houses.
"My lord, it turns out that you just mentioned laying straw in the open space on the street to prevent stones from hitting the open space and causing secondary damage, thereby minimizing the damage..." Du Ping suddenly thought of Yu Chen's previous thoughts.
The reason for telling those people to spread straw on the ground
Wait, Yu Chen looked at those tall and dark siege engines and finally remembered that those siege engines were obviously the ones he invented when he and Scar were fighting against each other.
But……
Why did that siege engine appear in the barbarian camp? If anyone wants to imitate it, he must have precise blueprints to make it.
This matter was so strange that Yu Chen couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Du Ping, quickly ask the people to evacuate to the north city and try to leave the south city..." Yu Chen's face became more solemn.
Du Ping hurriedly went downstairs to arrange for the people to evacuate.
The barbarians seemed to be using manpower to clear the ice cones. Another reason why Yu Chen used this trick was to slow down the attack speed of the barbarians.
But this is not a long-term solution, we must find a way
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Chu army seems to be running towards us..." Another soldier ran up in a panic and said
Chu Army? This Xiayou City is surrounded by enemies from both sides. The Chu State has already thought of seizing the city as its own. If the barbarians are about to attack, the Chu State will surely reap the benefits.
