Chapter 96 Just listen, the wall collapsed~ (Additional chapter)

As Qin Yu led his army closer to the valley, the defenders in the valley looked faintly panicked.

Qin Yu noticed this and couldn't help but smile. Just this moment of panic could increase the victory rate of this war by 30%.

He was looking into the valley from outside the valley.

First of all, this valley is quite unique. The entrance is extremely narrow, and only six or seven people can pass through it. The mouth of the valley is probably only two meters wide.

But after walking more than ten meters in, it began to open up in vain, and a pass made of stone and wood was located there.

According to Qin Yu, the opponent's original tactic should be to block the entrance of the valley with spearmen, add long-range troops on the pass, and deploy some spear throwers behind the valley entrance for defense.

In this way, the advantage of the narrow entrance of the valley is maximized. Hundreds of enemies are defeated by thousands, and the valley entrance is defended in shifts. In this way, one force can resist ten forces, and only a small number of troops are needed to defend the valley. .

But what does it mean that the opponent actually gave up such a huge advantage?

This shows that the opponent's troops are running out. If they don't want to give up Taniguchi, they have to use all their troops. This is a bit lonely.

But if not, neither side can take care of it, so the other side may plan to defend the pass, betting that Qin Yu has no siege equipment.

But it's a pity, hehe, Qin Yu not only has it, but also takes it with him.

"Someone, push the catapult up for me!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, fifty slingers slowly pushed up ten catapults.

"Push them side by side to the mouth of the valley." Qin Yu shouted again.

Since the catapult was relatively heavy, it took more than 50 people a full effort of more than ten minutes to push it to the entrance of the valley.

Qin Yu looked at the pass in front of the valley and it didn't look very strong. At least it was unlikely that it could withstand ten catapults setting fire at the same time.

"Prepare……"

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly saw the city gate below the other side's pass slowly open, and an unarmed ordinary citizen rushed out, slowly walking towards the entrance of the valley.

"My lords, our lord has something to say and wants me to go over there."

The tall and thin man walked up to the catapult blocking the entrance of the valley and shouted respectfully.

"Just wait, I'll go ask for instructions." One of the slingers responded and turned to leave.

After a long time, many slingers made way for them.

The tall and thin man walked over slowly, and saw the leader in front of him. He was wearing dragon scale armor, with a ring-headed sword at his waist, and he had an extraordinary temperament.

He immediately knew in his heart that this was the "leader" of the other party.

"I have met you, sir. My lord has asked me to convey a message to you on his behalf." The tall and thin man said respectfully.

"Come and listen."

The cold voice fell into the ears of the tall and thin man, causing his body to tremble slightly.

It can be seen that he is actually very nervous.

"Sir, my lord said that as long as you let us live, he will give us one million catties of grain."

"You said one million catties is one million catties?" Qin Yu looked at the man with a smile and said.

"Young ones naturally don't dare to lie to adults. We just harvested in autumn..."

The tall and thin man said nervously.

"Autumn harvest? How many were harvested in total?" Qin Yu asked nonchalantly.

"This...adult...little one doesn't know."

"Oh? How many acres of land do you have in this valley?"

"About five thousand acres." The tall and thin man said uncertainly.

"More than five thousand acres, how can I get two to three million kilograms of grain? Including last year's..." Qin Yu thought for a while and continued: "If I conquer this valley, I should be able to get at least five thousand kilograms of grain." One million catties of grain.”

This indifferent tone frightened the tall and thin man. In just a few words, he roughly guessed the grain stored in the valley.

He suddenly regretted why he had to answer so many questions...

He looked at the man in front of him nervously:

"Sir, there really isn't as much food in the fields as you think. This autumn harvest only has more than one million kilograms of food, which is already half of our total food..."

"Oh? Aren't you unclear?" Qin Yu looked over with cold eyes: "It seems that your words are no longer credible. Then I will personally take the army to the granary in the valley to take a look."

"Go back." Qin Yu felt that it was beneath his status to kill someone who spoke for him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall and thin man was taken away by the soldiers.

Qin Yu looked at the generals under his command and said softly: "Get ready to attack the city. Jie and his wolf cavalry will be responsible for patrolling the surrounding area. Don't let others steal the troops."

As soon as the words fell, everyone started to move.

The slingers also began to move their catapults and began to adjust their targets to the position of the pass wall on the opposite side.

The original target was the location of the city gate, but Qin Yu wanted to see if the opponent's pass was strong, so he changed it to the city wall.

As the fifty slingers worked for a while, they put the stone bullets that had been polished in advance.

The captain of the slingers gave the order and shouted:

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh—

Ten heavy round stone bullets weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms were thrown out instantly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The huge stone bullet was thrown out with a huge force and hit the wall of the pass.

The soldiers standing on the city wall clearly felt their feet shaking when the stone bullets hit the city wall.

Fang Long, who was in charge of commanding the soldiers in the rear, changed his expression and secretly said something was wrong.

"Everyone, get off the city wall temporarily and wait until the enemy catapults stop before going up."

In order to prevent accidents, Fang Long reluctantly ordered the team down.

At this time, there were 400 defenders, 200 of whom were regular troops, 150 spearmen, and 50 sword and shield soldiers.

As for the remaining two hundred, they were just young and strong civilians who had been put together temporarily, holding messy weapons and looking nervous.

Fang Long was not unsure, but he knew clearly that the possibility of defending this pass was low. Now that the opponent had siege equipment, the possibility of defending it was even lower.

Listening to the boulder banging against the city wall, Fang Long's heart was just like the wall, banging every time he was hit by the boulder.

"Chief! There is a crack in the city wall!" A soldier suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward and shouted.

Fang Long responded and looked stunned, then immediately shouted: "Quick! Back up! The wall is about to collapse!"

After Fang Long shouted, he immediately turned around and ran back, followed closely by the other soldiers.

After a while, everyone only heard a "bang".

After being hit by boulders fifty or sixty times, this pass built with primitive technology finally collapsed into ruins.

Then, earth-shattering shouts of killing instantly erupted outside the valley entrance.

Fang Long's eyes were dull and his heart thumped.

The valley is in danger...
