Wang Can was dressed in golden armor, riding on a Wuzui horse, with a stern expression, eyes like daggers, and a black cloak behind him. He looked up at the soldiers on the tower of Baocheng, his eyes flashing with light. Behind him, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang led
The Hanzhong soldiers looked serious. As for the Langya soldiers led by Lu Meng, they stayed with Guo Jia to protect Guo Jia's safety.
Praise the city, on the city tower.
A young general held the hilt of his sword with his left hand, his expression was stern, his body leaned forward slightly, and he looked at the scene outside the city.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the dark Hanzhong army outside the city, with a look of worry on his face. Then he suddenly turned back and looked at the wealthy gentry standing on all sides of the city tower. Seeing the malicious eyes flashing in their eyes, the young general felt that his spine was shaking.
I was cold, sweating on my forehead, for fear of being eaten alive by these wealthy gentry.
"General, look, there are siege engines coming outside the city."
To the left of the young general, a soldier held a spear in his left hand and pointed outside the city with his right hand, with a look of fear in his eyes.
The young general looked around and saw ten siege engines standing outside the city. Hundreds of kilograms of boulders were placed on the siege engines, ready to be thrown onto the tower at any time.
Seeing this, the young general couldn't help but tremble.
Outside the city tower, in front of Wang Can's army.
A scout galloped to Wang Can's side, dismounted, and said with cupped hands: "Sir, Mr. Mo of the Craftsman's Workshop sent ten siege vehicles. Each siege vehicle has ten craftsmen responsible for throwing large stones to attack the city.
.”
Wang Can thought for a moment and asked, "How accurate is it?"
The scout only received the news and did not know the specific situation. He hurriedly waved and summoned a craftsman who threw large stones to explain to Wang Can.
When the craftsman came over, the scout explained Wang Can's question. The craftsman raised his hand and said: "Sir, all of us are experienced, and we are 99% sure that there will be no deviation in the direction of the tower. And the big stone attack will be thrown from here.
The city will be thrown onto the city tower without any deviation. Please rest assured, sir, I have been practicing for a long time, waiting for a hundred people, and there will be no errors."
The craftsmen repeated it several times and said they could do it without making any mistakes.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Okay, immediately aim at the young general in the center of the tower and throw it to kill him."
"promise!"
The craftsman looked a little reserved, clasped his fists and shouted, then turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, ten siege engines began to move.
This kind of siege vehicle is actually based on the simplest lever principle. The lever principle is used to throw the big stone placed at one end of the siege vehicle onto the tower. However, the real test of the level is eyesight, and you must rely on your eyesight to correct the direction.
Just like using a rifle to aim and shoot, you don't just have to be strong enough to shoot the bullet out of the bullet. You also have to aim at the location on the tower that needs to be ejected to eject the boulder.
A siege vehicle is equipped with ten people, but there are four craftsmen who calibrate the projection direction. Only after four people calibrate can the boulder be projected.
"put!"
With a loud shout, the large boulder that was firmly placed at one end of the siege vehicle was thrown out.
After the boulder breaks through the air, it is very fast and powerful, and cannot block the thrown boulder at all.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
In an instant, ten boulders weighing several hundred kilograms were thrown out like cannonballs, hitting the tower of Baocheng. In the blink of an eye, the boulder had already approached the tower. At this moment, the young general in charge of guarding Baocheng saw the boulder shooting in the direction where he was standing.
When he came, he was also panicked and ran away quickly.
There is no way to resist the falling boulder, so you can only dodge it, and you can't fight back.
"boom!"
The first big stone fell on the tower and immediately made a big hole in the tower.
The young general wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Standing on the tower, he clearly felt the ground of the tower shaking slightly. Looking back, he saw where the boulder fell, with dust a foot high and gravel flying everywhere. The young general's
His cheeks twitched unconsciously. With such a weapon for attacking the city, Wang Can did not choose to attack the city. Instead, he waited until Yan Yan left before attacking the city. Isn't this bullying him?
"Boom!"
Waves of roaring sounds continued, and boulders kept falling.
Every big stone fell in the direction of the young general's escape, forcing the young general to run around on the tower. Suddenly, a gravel flew out and hit the young general's forehead directly. The huge force instantly scratched the
Blood immediately flowed out of the skin on the young general's forehead, staining his cheeks red.
Not only that, my forehead became red and swollen and painful.
Within a quarter of an hour, many soldiers on the tower were hit, and the ground of the tower was smashed beyond recognition.
After being hit by a boulder, even if there were soldiers who survived, their arms or thighs were pinned under the boulder and they could not move. They could only lie on the ground and howl.
Outside the city tower, the craftsman who was responsible for placing the big stones quickly ran to Wang Can and said, "Sir, the big stones that have been brought have been used up, and we cannot continue to use the big stones to attack the city." When the craftsman spoke, he looked a little scared, after all, using siege weapons
Attacking the city with vehicles is too powerful and the effect is too obvious. Suddenly there is no supply of big rocks, so there is no guarantee that Wang Can will be angry.
Wang Can looked indifferent and ordered: "If that's the case, then retreat!"
"promise!"
The craftsman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly retreated.
Wang Can smiled slightly and ordered: "Go and let Lu Meng come up with the wolf fang!"
"promise!"
When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately went to convey the order. Not long after, Lü Meng had rushed to the front of the army with a hundred wolf fangs. Lü Meng bowed to Wang Can and bowed: "The last general Lü Meng, meet the general!"
Wang Can nodded and ordered: "Use crossbow arrows to shoot the Yizhou soldiers defending on the tower."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Lu Meng cupped his fists and shouted, then turned around to pass on the order. One hundred young soldiers were divided into two rows, and they all took out their Majun crossbows from their backs and aimed at the soldiers on the tower.
At this moment, on the city tower, the look of the young general with blood on his forehead changed drastically.
He had been in the army for several years and knew how powerful crossbows were. Suddenly he saw a hundred young men in armor holding crossbows and standing outside the city, preparing to shoot. He immediately panicked.
His head shrunk, his body leaned against the city wall, and he shouted: "Get down, everyone get down!"
The general's voice kept echoing on the city tower. Although many soldiers heard it, not all soldiers obeyed the general's order. There were still many soldiers who stuck out their heads to see what was happening outside the city.
As soon as he stretched his head out, he heard the roar of crossbow arrows piercing the air.
One hundred people fired, and five hundred crossbow arrows were fired immediately.
Each crossbow arrow is different from a bow and arrow. Crossbow arrows are longer, thicker, sharper, and much more powerful than bows and arrows.
Five hundred crossbow arrows fell like a black rain of arrows. The soldiers who had just stretched out their heads to look had no chance to retreat, and they were all hit in the body by the crossbow arrows.
The crossbow arrow hit the armor, making a crisp sound. The huge power was transmitted from the crossbow arrow, instantly piercing the armor. The arrow pierced the flesh and blood, piercing the soldier's body. A burst of crossbow arrows fired, and more than a hundred soldiers were killed.
After being hit by the crossbow arrow, he collapsed on the ground and kept shooting. Blood flowed from his body, forming pools of blood on the tower, exuding a disgusting fishy smell.
The crossbows kept firing, and countless soldiers were killed.
For a time, the city tower was filled with wailing, and morale was low.
In fact, this is also because the young general responsible for guarding the city lacks the ability to respond. When Wang Can sends the young soldiers under Lu Meng to fire crossbows, he should immediately organize the soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows. The one hundred young soldiers under Wang Can and the big soldiers on the tower are not the same.
They are all trained with great effort, and it is impossible to shoot at the soldiers on the tower.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Can shouted to stop firing crossbows, and Lu Meng immediately retreated with the young soldiers.
A sneer appeared on Wang Can's face and he ordered: "Zhou Cang, let the soldiers shoot the prepared bows and arrows into the city."
"promise!"
Zhou Cang shouted and passed on the order.
In an instant, soldiers stood up one by one with stern expressions. These soldiers were holding bows and arrows. There was a piece of silk tied to the bow and arrow. Wang Can's letter of persuasion to surrender was written on the silk silk. Only Zhou Cang's order was heard.
The soldiers always shot their bows and arrows onto the city tower, and some of the bows and arrows were shot into the city and were picked up by the people in the city.
There are not many bows and arrows, just a few hundred.
However, Wang Can believed that the content on the silk was enough to shake the soldiers guarding the city.
After a burst of bows and arrows, Wang Can stopped shooting and waited for the reaction from the tower.
One after another, the bows and arrows fell on the tower. The soldiers saw a piece of silk tied to the bow and arrow, and hurriedly took it off. Some soldiers were illiterate, so they asked the literate soldiers among the familiar soldiers to read and write on the silk.
What's going on? At this time, the soldiers on the city tower and the wealthy gentry were all browsing the contents of the silk.
There is not much content on the silk, its only purpose is to persuade surrender.
The general idea is that Yan Yan led the army to leave Baocheng and did not attack Wang Can. Instead, he ran towards Nanzheng and prepared to attack Nanzheng. Yan Yan led the army to leave Baocheng and abandoned Baocheng. Now Baocheng is truly an isolated city.
Unable to continue resisting, Wang Can hoped that the soldiers on the tower would surrender and not make unnecessary sacrifices.
Sure enough, the gentry and soldiers on the city tower looked thoughtful after looking at it.
Among them, the heads of three wealthy families looked at each other and slowly walked towards the young general responsible for guarding the city.
The young general was very vigilant. When he saw the three people approaching, he immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison. In order to show sincerity, the one on the right actually threw the sword in his hand on the ground and said: "General, I put down my weapon, which is enough to show my sincerity. Besides, our family members are still in the hands of the general."
, how dare you rebel. As the saying goes, no harm can harm your wife and children. I hope the general will keep his promise and let our family members go after we die in the battle."
The other two people also threw away their weapons and nodded.
However, the three of them did not stop and continued walking towards the young general.
Seeing that the three of them had dropped their swords, and listening to the words of the person on the right, the young general's expression improved slightly. However, he still held the sword in his hand tightly, and then nodded solemnly, and said loudly: "As long as you try your best to defend the city, I will definitely
Keep your promise and let your family go after the war."
The three of them nodded to express their understanding.
At this time, the three of them had already walked to the young general.
The person standing on the right who spoke with a smile on his face said: "General, you also understand the current situation. After Wang Can breaks the city, he will definitely kill the soldiers defending Baocheng. Therefore, I would like to ask the general to be accommodating. Can you
You can't let go of one of the villain's sons first, just let go of one, leaving a trace of incense for the villain. If Wang Can kills everyone, at least the villain's son can survive, and the villain's family will be destroyed.
The bloodline continues."
This guy was verbose and talked a lot, which made the young general a little upset. He shook his head and refused: "No, you can't let anyone go."
"General, can't you be accommodating?"
The man started talking again. He opened his mouth to speak, but kept winking at the other two people.
The young general was impatient, raised his sword, pointed it at the person on the right, and shouted: "If you keep chirping, I will order your whole family to be brought to the tower, and let them live and die with us."
"Yes, yes! The villain doesn't speak, doesn't speak."
He seemed to be afraid of the young general and kept his mouth shut.
However, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer.
