I’m The King

Although Xiang Shenkang feels that Xinhui City is indeed very small, he definitely does not think that his opponent can beat it with a drum. When the morning sun pierces the thin haze and sprinkles the sun on the top of the city, he is standing. Above the tower, looking at the more than a thousand soldiers under his command

"The hearts of the people are united, the mountains can be moved, and the hearts of people are united. The wooden walls and bamboo fences are also solid. Brothers, take up your weapons, sing our military anthem, and get ready to fight!" He raised his arms and shouted.

"Fight, fight!" the soldiers howled loudly under the leadership of the officers

"Where the long sword is directed towards the northern territory!" With all the strength of his body, Xiang Shenkang drank out the first army with his half-tone voice.

"The setting sun is like rain, flowing south on the journey! The flag hunts, summons the drum of eastward war! The yellow sand is so full that it can't stop the western march!"

With the sound of war songs, the soldiers stepped on the city head, approached the wall, raised their swords and guns, and opened the crossbow.

In the sound of war songs, the soldiers under the city brought piles of earth and rocks and blocked the city gate.

In the battle song, they stared murderously at the Qi* team approaching from a distance.

The Qi* team, which came out of the heavy curtains, began to rectify the formation amid the passionate military singing on the city. Under the banner of the Chinese army, Tian Jingwen's brows were slightly frowned, and he looked at the city head in confusion. The morale of the expeditionary army, a team of more than a thousand people guarding such a small city, is about to face the attack of tens of thousands of people, and behind them, more Qi troops are swarming, why are they not shivering And so passionate?

But no matter what the opponent's attitude is, in his eyes, there is no difference, because when his attack order is issued. This small city will collapse in front of his army

Seeing the tall siege vehicles being pushed to the front of the army, the smashing vehicles were also in their positions, and further behind, the soldiers were carrying the ladders, ready to go. The archers held the bow in one hand, and the arrows were already on the bowstring. He smiled with satisfaction. This is Qi Jun. Although the sharp blade has not been sheathed for many years, as long as it is pulled out of the sheath. It will shock the world, whether it is Yan State or the East Army, it is just a test stone for them.

"Offensive!" Raised his right hand and fell heavily

Rows of cowhide drums sounded. Amidst the drums, Qi Jun screamed. Hundreds of soldiers pushed forward slowly under each siege vehicle. On the platform on the roof, there were bed crossbows and dozens of archers. , They will be responsible for suppressing the enemy forces in the city. In front of the siege vehicle, there are rushing vehicles covered in cowhide. The structure of the rushing cart is simple, with two slopes obliquely downward, which can remove as much as possible the damage to him caused by the rolling stone hurdles on the city. Soldiers can be hidden under the car, and at the front of the car, sharpened wooden logs can cause damage to city walls and gates. Accompanied by these rushing cars are soldiers of the Qi State carrying a ladder.

Compared with Donghu people’s indiscriminate siege, Qi people’s siege rhythm and echelon are extremely clear.

Go to about four hundred steps away from the city. The siege truck stopped, and the bed crossbow carried on it began to scream and fly towards the city. With the roar of the bed crossbow, the soldiers attacking under the city suddenly quickened their pace.

"Concentrate our bed crossbows. Knock out those siege vehicles one by one!" Xiang Shenkang looked at the battlefield calmly. These siege vehicles had the greatest impact on the soldiers in the city. Each round of the bed crossbow shot, the siege vehicles They will approach the city wall a little bit. If they get closer to within a hundred steps, the archer on the siege vehicle can suppress the city wall. The Qi people will throw fifty siege vehicles into the city at a time. If these siege vehicles approach within a hundred paces, the advantage of being condescending on the city will be lost. If the siege vehicles approach, they will be almost flush with the small wall of Xinhui City.

There are ten bed crossbows in Xinhui City, but they are not the fixed bed crossbows in the Qi* team, but the kind of mobile turret mounted on a flatbed cart and pushed by several soldiers.

The ten bed crossbows were concentrated on a very short distance. A senior crossbow crouched between the wall stacks, carefully measured the distance and orientation, turned around, and whispered a few words to the companions. , Ten crossbow leaders immediately began to adjust the angle

"ready!"

"put!"

With a cry, ten crossbows fired almost at the same time

Six hit the target and four went empty, but even if there were only six, the huge destructive power of the bed crossbow still showed. Above the city head, what the East Army was shooting was not the enemy on the siege vehicle, but the attack. The dense scaffolding under the city cart was accompanied by the cracking sound of Titicaca. A siege cart under intense attack collapsed almost instantaneously. Amidst the rumbling sound, the bed crossbows and archers above were miserable. Calling to fall from the top, a distance of tens of meters or less is not fatal, but with the scattered wood and heavy bed crossbow falling, it is not fun. On the siege cart, a Qi army crossbow commander The moment he fell, he was holding the bed crossbow in a hurry. When he fell, the bed crossbow hit his lower body heavily, under his waist, and was smashed so hard that he could not die for a while, and he screamed bitterly. Sound, resounding across the battlefield

This blow not only surprised the nearby siege vehicle, but even Tian Jingwen in the distance was also taken aback. How could there be such a intensive shooting of bed crossbows? Is there so many bed crossbows in Xinhui City? He looked at the stretch of city wall with a little surprise in his heart

The scream of the soldier in front has been interrupted. Obviously, a companion helped him end the pain. This is a very common practice on the battlefield. Once the injury is serious, it is the most joyful way to help him end.

Above the city, there was a loud cheering to applaud their crossbowmen

After the ten bed crossbows shot this round, they pushed the flatbed cart and ran, moved to the other side of the city wall, and once again aimed at another siege vehicle.

The wear and tear of a siege vehicle obviously cannot dispel the Qi army’s fighting intent. Now it is slowly moving towards the city wall. There are a full fifty, but this attack obviously accelerated the pace of the Qi army under the city.

"Crossbow!" With the roar towards Shenkang, the crossbow opened its arms and started shooting

This time the attack was obviously far worse than the volley of the crossbow that shocked the earth and the earth. Qi Jun carried the ladder, and the team was scattered and extremely open. More of their infantry was hidden under the rushing carts and on the rushing carts. Leather, thick wood, enough to block the shooting of the crossbow

Staring at the rapid approaching Qi Jun under the city, Xiang Shenkang's brows were deeply frowned. The Zhengdong Army once relied on large-scale attacks on the enemy with an open crossbow. In front of these enemies, the attack was obviously not effective.

"Stop shooting, I don't believe it, you won't get out of these turtle shells!" He cursed fiercely, "Prepare for rolling stones, beating wood, and kerosene! When the siege trucks approach, greet them fiercely. "

The rumbling noises continued to connect. Above the city, the crossbow effectively knocked down the siege vehicles. The tactics of shooting and running in one round made the Qi army on the siege vehicle always unable to tell where the opponent is. In the direction, looking at his companion who fell off the high platform, Qi Jun on the siege vehicle felt hesitated for the first time. No one knew whether he was the next one.

As the siege vehicles fell one by one, under the city wall, the rush vehicles hit the city wall one after another. The huge impact caused the entire city wall to sway, as soon as it approached the city wall. Under the rushing cart, one by one soldiers came out. Some of these soldiers were lost. Some were pulling bows and arrows and shooting upwards, while others were holding shovel and hoe, and desperately began to dig the bottom of the city wall.

In this era, the city walls are basically made of rammed soil, and only some majestic cities will have blue bricks or stones on the outside. Naturally, small cities like Xinhui cannot be treated like this.

While they were digging the city, a ladder was also placed on the city wall in good time.

"Pack them!" roared angrily at Shenkang

"Kill!" On the city wall, the soldiers took up the stone and threw it down fiercely. At the same time as they threw the stone down, the sharp arrows under the city also screamed up, and the city was up and down almost at the same time. Calling Voice

There was no temptation for the battle between the two sides. From the very beginning, it entered the stage of direct strangulation. This situation occurred mainly because of the contempt of Xinhui City by the commander of the Qi army, Tian Jingwen, and the general siege will be carried out in large-scale siege. Before, he began to conduct tentative attacks, gradually find out the weaknesses of the defense on the city wall, and then gather strength to attack its soft threat. However, in Tian Jingwen’s view, Xinhui was too small to make him disdain to use this. Tactics

In a drum, it is his true thoughts

A pot of kerosene poured down from the top of the city~www.ltnovel.com~ Along with the kerosene, there were rockets. Under the city wall, there was a sea of ​​fire and a cloud ladder was pushed aside and attacked the city. The cars were knocked down. Although the cars rushed to the city, in a blink of an eye, they were hit by the rolling stones and woods. This thing can stop the arrows, but it can't stop these heavy guys. The fire It also made the high temperature under the city wall scorching, Tian Jingwen expected it, but he persisted for half an hour before retreating.

Tian Jingwen took the initiative to retreat. He must have been a general of Qi. As soon as the war started, he discovered his mistake. Although the city is small, it is somewhat responsive. The fighting spirit of the soldiers in the city did not shake him because of the disparity between the enemy and us. I need to rectify my own tactics

Seeing the Qi army retreating like the tide, there was a cheer on the top of the city, especially the recruits. When they found that the enemy was not as terrible as they thought, their confidence suddenly rose to an unprecedented height. Those veterans who have been on the battlefield will understand that this is just an appetizer, and the real battle has not yet begun!

Above the tower, Xiang Shenkang is singing loudly. Although the five notes are not complete, the soldiers are jumping and cheering for their commander.

"I am a copper pea that is not cooked, not cooked, smashed, not chewed, and resounding! Who taught you to dig into me? Layer Brocade Head" (to be continued)
