On the second day, Liu Ling ordered ten thousand troops and ordered Zhao Er to be the vanguard of the siege. He ordered a large chair to be moved and sat in front of the battle to watch the battle. He placed a low table next to him and brewed a pot of new tea.
Chen Ziyu stood on one side, looking at Liu Ling with admiration and admiration. It is an indisputable fact that women love heroes. In Chen Ziyu's eyes, Liu Ling is the biggest hero in the world.
Chen Ziyu is wearing a black lotus-style robe from the Supervisory Yuan. Coupled with her delicate face, she looks heroic and unique.
Chen Ziyu knelt down gently, with bare hands and wrists, and made tea for Liu Ling in front of the two armies. The faint fragrance of tea, the conflict between the two armies, two very contradictory situations, but they were so perfectly compatible.
.
Looking at the sky, the sun has quietly climbed up, shining the east a fiery red. Ten thousand men and horses stood in a neat square formation, with high morale. These soldiers have experienced countless battles and experienced
Warriors truly tested by blood and fire. Under the rising sun, their morale was like a rainbow! The neat square formation and flying battle flags formed a picture of iron and blood. And Liu Ling looked so confident and sipping tea on the battlefield.
Arrogant.
He is Liu Ling, and he has arrogance!
The bullets hit Huaizhou City and destroyed it with a single move.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and Zhao Er rode out and ran back and forth in front of the military formation. After inspecting the troops under his command, Zhao Er drew out his sword and pointed it at the head of Huaizhou City and asked loudly: "That's Huaizhou City, stop here."
On your way forward, there are enemies in the city who are unwilling to surrender to me, the King of Han Dynasties. What do you think you should do?"
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Han army shouted in unison, bursting out with overwhelming fighting spirit. Anyone who does not surrender to me, the King of Han, will be killed! Anyone who blocks the way of our King of Han will be killed. Gods who stand in the way kill gods, and demons who stand in the way kill demons. If anyone blocks the way, kill them.
With his head, there is a city blocking the road, destroying the city! With this shout, a murderous intent that seems to be visible to the naked eye surges out. This is the murderous intent burst out by ten thousand real warriors, enough to crush the air
!
Ouyang Hui, who stood tremblingly on the top of the city supervising the battle, was so frightened by the Han soldiers' loud roar that he almost fell to the ground. He had never experienced a war, so he thought there would be no problem in holding on for a few days with the help of the tall city wall.
Yes, but after seeing the rainbow-like morale of the Han army, he began to regret that his decision to hold on for a few days was a bit hasty. But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired, no matter how thick-skinned he was,
I can't do the feat of surrendering now.
He huddled in the crenel and poked Ji Fei with his arm: "You are a military commander. I will leave it to you to command the battle to defend the city. I am right behind you, let's see how you lead the army to kill the enemy bravely! In my opinion
, the Han army is just a show-off, you don’t have to worry too much. I’m just watching from the gates of the city. Yongxian has made an unparalleled contribution and defeated Liu Ling, the invincible king of Han Dynasty. What a great honor it will be.
?If His Majesty and the King of Zhou find out, he will definitely reward you heavily. Mr. Yong, the day when you will become famous is not far away!"
Ji Fei secretly cursed the old fox, if you are jealous of this achievement, you should take charge of the defense of the city yourself. He had planned to surrender, but he was still acting coy here. But he did not dare to say these words. Don't say this
He couldn't show cowardice in front of thousands of soldiers guarding the city. Even when the two of them were alone, he didn't have the guts to contradict Ouyang Hui. Ji Fei bit the bullet and inspected the county soldiers guarding the city, and then thought deeply.
He said a lot of words to boost morale. But no matter what he said, it was far less than Zhao Er's question.
Zhao Er just asked, what should I do if someone refuses to surrender to me, the King of the Han Dynasty?
kill!
Seeing that the Han army had begun to gather, Ji Fei quickly ordered the archers to prepare. Huaizhou City was small, and the heavy crossbows originally equipped had not been used for a long time, and had long since turned into a pile of bad wood. Moreover, even if those heavy crossbows were functional
, only a dozen or so racks won’t do much good.
Just as the Zhou army and county soldiers were nervously clenching their rifle bows, waiting for the Han army to begin attacking the city, they suddenly saw a large formation of Han troops moving to both sides like a tide, with several vehicles and more than 20 horses pulling them.
The carts came out from behind the Han army's military formation. Soon, those carts arrived in front of the military formation. Under the gaze of the defending Zhou army, those carts were quickly dismantled and then reassembled.
Assembled into several tall and huge shelves.
Although Ji Fei was a civil servant, he still recognized that thing!
That's a trebuchet!
However, he has never seen such a huge trebuchet! Look at the size of the structure of the trebuchet, it is enough to throw a stone weighing hundreds of kilograms up the city wall! When he saw the trebuchet, Ji Fei's face
It turned green. When he imagined hundreds of kilograms of boulders being hit on the top of the city, with blood splattering and dead bodies everywhere, his calves began to tremble.
After the trebuchet was assembled, the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion were responsible for operating it. They were already familiar with assembling and operating these huge weapons, and quickly set up the gunpowder packets the size of millstones, waiting for Zhao Er's order.
Next, launch towards the top of the city.
Zhao Er rode his horse and ran back and forth in front of the formation. Seeing that the soldiers were ready, he pointed his sword at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Attack the city!"
As soon as these two words were spoken, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion quickly released the big arm of the trebuchet. With a buzz, five or six gunpowder packets the size of millstones were ignited and thrown out. They operated the trebuchet.
We have enough experience to calculate the time and distance for the fuse to burn, ensuring that the gunpowder package will explode as soon as it reaches the city. This is the experience gained from countless battles and the result of long-term practice.
In an instant, several black spots gradually enlarged in the pupils of the defending soldiers, and then in their frightened and incomprehensible sight, those huge gunpowder packets exploded!
The huge roar and the dazzling firelight were like countless gorgeous fireworks being lit on the top of the city! But the fireworks only had one color, which was red, dyed with blood. After a round of bombing, there was immediately a firework on the top of the city.
Hundreds of county soldiers were blown to pieces! More soldiers were injured by the iron nails inside after the gunpowder packets exploded. The iron nails flying everywhere were like bullets, making bloody holes in the bodies of the Han army's county soldiers.
, wiping out a string of sparks on the city wall.
Undoubtedly, the scene was shocking.
The first time they tasted such a powerful weapon of the Han army, the county soldiers who defended the city collapsed immediately. It was an irresistible power of heaven that could not be resisted by human power! A long time ago, there was a legend circulated among the Zhou army
.Legend has it that Liu Ling, the King of Han Dynasty, was a spirit descended from heaven. He could borrow thunderbolts and lightning from the God of Thunder, and could kill enemies who opposed him! Now, they finally saw the power of the God of Thunder's wrath, how terrifying it was.
There was chaos on the top of the city. The soldiers howled and began to flee in all directions. The archers who had been prepared were cried out by the explosion and fell to the ground one after another. This is the advantage of weapons. As a modern man, Liu Ling
We clearly know what long-range weapons represent in this era.
Soon, the second round of projectile bombing exploded again at the head of Huaizhou City. In fact, the power of the gunpowder package was not as great as it seemed. Although it had a certain lethality on the soldiers, the soldiers injured by the iron nails were not.
They would immediately lose their combat effectiveness, but they could still pick up weapons. However, the explosion of the gunpowder packs had a great psychological impact on the soldiers defending the city. In their view, this was the wrath of the thunder god that they could never resist.
After three rounds of projectile bombing, the army's archers at the top of the city were completely frightened. They lay on the ground and no one dared to get up.
Zhao Er stretched out his sword and pointed. In the first wave of three square formations, three thousand Han soldiers began to advance in order. Two hundred soldiers pushed heavy and huge battering rams, and their target was the city gate of Huaizhou.
Ji Fei's face was scratched by a flying iron nail, and he was also hit by another on the shoulder. His helmet also fell off. He lay on the city wall with his head wet and didn't dare to move. He just stuck his butt high,
Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
The soldiers of the Han army were not far from the city wall, but no one of the soldiers of the Zhou army, who had no one under their command, picked up a bow and arrow to shoot!
Ji Fei was so frightened that he could still think of commanding the soldiers to fight. At this time, he just wanted to lie down like this and didn't even have the courage to run.
Seeing that the Han army had arrived at the bottom of the city and the ladders had begun to be erected, a little Zhou Lieutenant, whose palm was pierced by an iron nail, stood up and struck his shield with a horizontal knife. The sound of snapping sounded on the city wall.
Extremely harsh.
"Stand up! All stand up! Since you want to defend to the death, you must have the courage to die! You are all men and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. Can you stop the Han army by lying down like this? When the Han army attacks the city,
Are you just stretching your necks and waiting to die? Show me clearly, they are already under the city wall. If you don't pick up weapons, they will attack the city! Think about it, who are the people in the city behind you? Yes
Your parents, your wives and children, if you just give up like this, who will protect them! Since you have no choice to surrender, then fight, a man will die fighting like that!"
The captain dropped his sword, grabbed an archer's bow, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the city walls while shouting. He was like a madman, shooting one arrow at a time with his bloody hands.
He sent out arrows. Gradually, more and more defenders were infected by him and picked up their bows and arrows and started shooting. He ran back and forth along the city wall, shouting and firing arrows. Sweat kept falling from his forehead and became wet.
It penetrated his armor.
Suddenly, the little Captain Zhou threw off the helmet that blocked his vision, took off his upper body armor, and exposed his upper body naked, revealing his strong bronze muscles. He ignored the wounds on his palms that were still bleeding.
With one foot on the city wall, he kept bending his bow and shooting arrows. The sun shone on his sweat-soaked body, so majestic.
Gradually, the frightened defenders were infected, and more and more people picked up their bows and arrows and shot out of the city. When the captain saw the soldiers starting to fight back, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Well done! Don't do that.
Let the Han army look down on us men of Zhou Dynasty. Even if the city is defeated, a few Han soldiers will be killed and buried with them! Come with a few people and follow me to guard the city gate, and we must not let the Han army's siege ram get close!"
Hundreds of soldiers followed him and ran towards the city gate tower.
Outside the city, Liu Ling, who was sitting on a large chair, sat up straight and looked at the shirtless man at the top of the city. He pointed at the man and said to Hua Ling and others beside him: "Did you see that?
