The people of Qi fell to the ground one after another after being hit by arrows.
What happened next was both strange and reasonable: the people of Qi who had not been hit by sharp arrows just looked at the Chu army who was shooting arrows on the city for a few times in horror, then immediately lowered their heads and continued to work hard, seemingly
If they stop working, they will suffer a punishment many times more terrible than death!
The tattoo soldiers who controlled the Overlord Spider forced the Qi people in the rear who had not joined the work yet, and carried the slave soldiers shot to death by the Chu army to the slope next to the city wall, using the corpses as soil to fill the slope, and then picked them up
The soil shovel left on the ground continues the work of digging, transporting and filling the soil...
When the number of arrows fired by the Chu army approached 50,000, Jingyuan had to order to stop shooting. Because he knew very well that there were only 150,000 arrows in the city, and the number of slave soldiers exceeded 300,000, so even if
Even though all the arrows were fired, they still couldn't stop the slope from overtaking the city wall!
Due to the well-trained archers of the Chu army, a total of more than 40,000 Qi people were shot by sharp arrows. Most of them struggled for a while and then stopped moving;
He was shot in the vital part, so he couldn't die for a while, but he didn't dare to stop working at all.
As long as they can still move, they all drag their disabled bodies and desperately want to continue digging, but they are really unable to do so. Even some people whose legs are seriously injured and unable to walk still use their hands to crawl and dig.
Soil. They left long traces of blood on the ground where they passed. It looked so pitiful!
The tattooed soldiers were very indifferent to this scene. They only wanted to kill those who did not "work hard." However, although the other Qi people were crying in their hearts, they did not dare to look at these miserable compatriots and just buried their heads in it.
Work hard.
Seeing such a scene, many Chu and Qi soldiers had tears in their eyes. They cursed loudly for the extreme cruelty of the Ting people, felt pity for these innocent people, and at the same time were deeply worried about the safety of hundreds of thousands of Chu and Qi soldiers and civilians in Pengcheng.
They knew very well that due to the resistance of Pengcheng's soldiers and civilians, once the city was breached, the Tui army would definitely massacre everyone in the city in accordance with the rules established by Emperor Tui after he came to power, in order to warn the world: "Anyone who dares to stand in the way of the Tui army will die!"
After Jingyuan sighed, he ordered again: Shoot those injured and struggling Qi people!
Scattered sharp arrows were shot down from the top of the city, piercing the bodies of those Qi people who had been shot but not dead, and sent them to heaven. Although these people and the other Qi people digging in the earth did not dare to look up,
But in my heart, I am grateful to the Chu army for ending their suffering and allowing their relatives to be safe!
The corpses of more than 60,000 Qi people and more than 2,000 Chu troops were moved to the slope and soon covered by the soil. Thousands of them were not completely dead, so they were actually buried alive.
The generals of the Chu and Qi armies stood together on a tower that was eight feet high and protruded outside the city wall. Many of them frowned.
They saw that Pengcheng's originally six-foot-high city wall had been covered up by nearly one foot by the slope outside the city in just over an hour, leaving only a little more than five feet in height. If this continued, only
In half a day, more than 200,000 Qi people were able to cover more than a dozen sections of earth slopes over the city wall, and then it was time for two thousand overlord spiders to climb up the earth slopes and rush into the city.
By then, since the Chu and Qi armies lack the heavy crossbows to attack the enemy, they will inevitably face a massacre!
Silvia and Wei Wushuang looked at each other, and both knew that the other was thinking about the same question as themselves: How to prevent the slope from continuing to rise? Attacks outside the city and archery have proven to be ineffective, and although the Thunder Warriors
The combat power is strong, but the number is too small, only more than 200 people.
Breaking through? I'm afraid it's even more unfeasible, because there are a thousand flying fighting monsters with tattoos in the sky!
These flying monsters look like a mixture of a giant bat and a black dragon. They look very scary! They are currently hovering at an altitude of more than 400 feet and have not flown down to join the battle. The reason must be because they are afraid of the four thousand defense towers.
The "Sun-shooting Crossbow". The "Sun-shooting Crossbow" cannot be moved, so once the defenders leave Pengcheng, those big bat evil dragons can attack the Chu Qi army together with the Overlord Spider. By then, the entire army will be annihilated.
The inevitable outcome!
"Is there no way to deal with these enemies?!" the blonde girl shouted in her heart, with surging anger on her fair and beautiful face.
Wei Wushuang was calmer than her. He quietly watched the Chu migrant workers in the city dismantling some "Sun-shooting Crossbows" in some defense towers. This was based on Wei Wushuang's suggestion to remove a batch of "Sun-shooting Crossbows" from the defense towers.
The tower was dismantled and then installed on the ground in the city not far from the city wall in order to shoot the overlord spiders that were about to rush into the city. Although this will reduce the ability to attack flying combat monsters, it can prevent the overlord spiders from rushing in smoothly.
In the city.
Of course, Wei Wushuang's suggestion also included a very frustrating step: when the soil slope outside the city was level with the city wall, the defenders must immediately give up their defense on the city wall, retreat directly into the city, and use their weapons on the ground to
"Sun Shooting Crossbow" stops the Overlord Spiders.
When the Chu people accepted Wei Wushuang's suggestion, they all sighed: "I didn't expect that the city wall, which is the main body of the defense project, would completely lose its effectiveness because of a simple and vicious strategy of the Tai Army!"
A former Qi general said angrily: "Previously, Qi officials had always propagated that: Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! But now, the Tattoo Army has used such brutal methods to capture the city and win the world. This is really great.
Satire!"
Many people began to curse the inhumane Tui people and the stupid rulers of Qi, Lu and other countries. Of course, this did not include the last King of Qi who had just died heroically at Julang Pass.
Jing Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, glanced at the general of the Qi army, and then said sarcastically: "The saying "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" is not wrong, but many people understand it wrong!"
The generals of the Qi army and many others did not understand what Jing Yuan meant and looked at him one after another.
Jingyuan sighed and explained to everyone: "Many people understand "winning people's hearts" as "getting the love of the people" and think that such a good person can win the world. However, the fact is that in many cases it is completely the opposite.
! For example, now: the extremely ferocious Tsing people filled the people of the original Qi state with fear, and those Qi people worked desperately to serve the Tsing people.
Therefore, the correct understanding of "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" should be "evil people can often win the world if they win the fear of the people"!"
Many generals nodded. They admitted in their hearts: This is indeed the case in many cases. The Qi people in front of them helping the Tattoo Army to attack the city is a perfect example.
.
Sylvia did not hear Jingyuan's words, because her attention was attracted by some migrant workers in the city who were installing "sun-shooting crossbows".
Since Pengcheng is an important military town, many people are employed by the military, forming a highly efficient organization. There is a clear professional division of labor among them, and different types of work wear different colors of clothes, so you can tell at a glance what kind of work they do.
.The clothes worn by these migrant workers in the city now are gray or brown, but there is a large pattern dyed bright yellow on the back.
