"Commanders, please lower the position of this heavy crossbow and aim it at the city gate as much as possible."
Xie Xuan bypassed the heavy crossbow and came to the front of the generals. General Caiguan was a little embarrassed and had no choice but to say: "General, the gate of Xiangyang City is made of heavy wood, and both sides are covered with thick iron sheets. Our heavy crossbow
You can’t break through it.”
This is a fact and an experience. This kind of heavy crossbow is indeed a powerful weapon for penetrating walls, but it does nothing against the walls and gates of a military town like Xiangyang City.
The officers and generals are eager to serve the country, but they don't want their sharp weapons to be wasted in such a place.
"Thank you, General. I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Xie Xuan glanced at the officer and general, and he was still hesitating to say a word.
"explain!"
"Actually, it might be more useful to give these heavy crossbows to the Jingzhou soldiers led by Secretary Wang and others. The city gate on the south gate shouldn't be that strong. If two heavy crossbows go down, the city gate might be knocked open."
"That makes sense!"
"Zhenming, you are absolutely right!"
At this time, who else but Huan Chong dared to stand behind and support Caiguan General Zhu Zhenming.
Despite the fact that Huan Chong was at a disadvantage in the fight just now, he has always been a man with high morale despite repeated defeats. One defeat cannot shake his shamelessness at all.
No, it didn't take long for Huan Chong to rise from the spot.
"It would be best to give these heavy crossbows to Secretary Wang!"
Xie Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids, but Huan Chong jumped in front of him. If you don't want to talk to me, it doesn't matter. I can take the initiative to talk to you.
If you give important weapons to Wang Mi, you will give me Jingzhou soldiers. Huan Chong has calculated this account clearly.
"How can you be so sure that I used the heavy crossbow just to attack the city wall?" Xie Xuan spoke, feeling confident.
Huan Chong was horrified: Not attacking the city?
What else can you do?
How about it, can’t you guess?
Xie Xuan jumped up to the mound and stood with his hands behind his hands. He had a panoramic view of the towering city walls of Xiangyang City. The soldiers on the towers were like ants trying to move, moving back and forth.
Xie Xuanqiao calculated the time and opportunity!
The time is coming soon!
A moment later, a gust of wind came out of thin air, blowing up the red tassels on his saddle and scattering them in all directions. Under his sight, the soldiers of the Beifu were in full formation, and the heavy crossbows were already in place.
Following Xie Xuan's instructions, the officials had already adjusted the crossbow arrows to the most appropriate position. They were just waiting for Xie Xuan's order.
Suddenly, a flag suddenly appeared on the city tower. It had a bright yellow background and a large beam in black. It was still clearly visible even in the dark night.
Liang Cheng has entered the city!
Although he was not familiar with Fu Rui, Xie Xuan would not forget Liang Cheng's stupid face even if it turned into ashes.
"quick!"
"be prepared!"
"Aim for the city gate!"
Xie Xuan jumped down and jumped off the mound. He was in an excited mood. He seemed to be ten years younger, and his legs and feet were extremely nimble!
Three heavy crossbows were all aimed at the Xiangyang City Gate. Although they were no match for the solid city gate, they were still fearless!
Under the leadership of Caiguan General Zhu Zhenming, the crossbowmen had high morale and a completely new outlook on life.
Within sight, on the tower of Xiangyang City, Liang Cheng, who straightened his back and exposed his big belly, was inspecting the Jin army below the city.
these people!
You will all die under the hooves of my Di Qin cavalry today!
Be the devil under the knife!
Although I lost the battle, I am no longer the same as before. Behind Liang Cheng is an army of hundreds of thousands of Di and Qin!
There are many soldiers, strong horses, and excellent weapons!
The soldiers have rich combat experience and superb martial arts. With them supporting Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng's momentum is completely different!
The previous bad luck has been swept away, and I am full of confidence.
Liang Cheng is such a thief, he has already sent the soldiers to prepare under the tower before officially announcing the war.
As soon as the city gate opened, the Di and Qin cavalry rushed out like a tsunami. How could these weak-footed Jin troops have the power to fight back?
"Is General Xie from Beifu here?"
Liang Cheng let go of the soldier who reported the news and shouted towards the city in a serious manner.
Before he finished speaking, Officer Shen whispered in Xie Xuan's ear: "General, don't slack off. Liang Cheng has always loved to cheat. He must be trying to delay time by shouting and waiting for an opportunity to attack our army.
"
You see, someone's plan is so simple and direct, in the eyes of a truly smart person, it is almost as if it is transparent.
Xie Xuan smiled: "I know it well, Shen Canjun, I will leave those heavy crossbows to you."
"When the Di Qin cavalry rushes out, your heavy crossbow must be aimed in the direction of the city gate and fired!"
"Remember, the timing can never be wrong!"
"When the city gate is wide open, fire the crossbow!"
"Does General Xie mean..."
Officer Shen's head turned several times and he finally understood Xie Xuan's intention.
The urn city has been destroyed, and there is almost no solid barrier behind the city gate.
The city wall is impenetrable and the city gate is as solid as a rock. However, as long as the city gate is opened, the weakness of Xiangyang City will be exposed to the Jin army!
Without the protection of Wengcheng, heavy crossbow arrows can easily penetrate the retaining walls and giant gates arranged by the Qin army!
"The general is wise!"
"My subordinates will do it now!"
You have a trick, I have a brilliant plan.
"The Qin army treats each other with courtesy. I think you have come a long way and are tired of traveling and traveling, so they closed the city for a few days and waited for your army to regain its strength before starting the battle."
Liang Cheng thought he was stalling for time, but little did he know that over there, Xie Xuan was waiting for him to talk more nonsense.
The heavy crossbow hasn't been adjusted yet!
"General Xie, I, the Qin Dynasty, have treated you well. All the things you do now are considered to be very polite and benevolent!"
Liang Cheng spread his arms and stood on the towering Xiangyang City Tower. Looking from a distance, his figure at this moment really looked a bit sanctimonious.
Don’t you, the Jin Dynasty, keep saying that we Di people are slaves, ungrateful and no different from savages?
Now I will give you enough face, be polite and proper, and make you feel ashamed.
"Is this General Liang Cheng in the city?"
Xie Xuan shouted at the city, but uncharacteristically did not ride a horse. Instead, he sat on a single bed and was carried by two soldiers to talk to Liang Cheng.
In front of Hu's bed, a group of Beifu soldiers were guarding him with swords, and Xie Xuan was under their strict protection.
Seeing Xie Xuan's appearance, Liang Cheng immediately sneered: "I have long heard that General Xie is a rare hero in the world, but when I saw him today, I couldn't believe it."
"General Xie is hiding behind the soldiers, so I can't even see you!"
Liang Cheng, with his waist in his hands, was full of confidence, and his self-conscious image suddenly looked much taller than Xie Xuan's.
One of the two was on the city, the other was below the city. They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, only their movements were vaguely visible. Even so, Liang Cheng's boastful talk at the moment was still very funny to Xie Xuan.
"General Liang, don't worry too much. You and I are old acquaintances. The last time we fought in Jingling, the general ran too fast. I chased him all night long, but I didn't even see the general's back. I feel really regretful."
"I actually saw General Liang again when I arrived in Xiangyang this time. I hope the general will leave the city for a decisive battle as soon as possible so that I can fulfill my wish and decide the outcome!"
At some point, Xie Xuan had a round fan in his hand. He sat on the bed, gently shook the fan, and calmly stared at Liang Cheng on the tower.
Without looking closely, Xie Xuan knew that at this moment, Liang Cheng must have blood coming out of his nostrils and green smoke coming out of his head.
"Shen Canjun, why do I feel like there is a smell of blood!"
