Chapter seven hundred and ninety-ninth artillery bombardment of the tower
Inside and outside Yecheng, the Jin army and Di Qin faced off.
Fu Pi suddenly felt that unprecedented fear enveloped him.
That kind of fear did not occur when the Xianbei people were besieging them, and it was not that strong when the famous Yan general Murong Chui arrived.
But now, all the preset enemies have been driven away, leaving only the Jin people.
That feeling of fear seems to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.
"Who is the general of the Jin army?"
"Come out and answer!"
Fu Pi shouted loudly on the city. Although he was full of confidence, it was a pity that the preset target could not hear it.
Of course, the Jin army would not stick to the walls of Yecheng and act as a target for Di Qin. After driving away the Xianbei people, they occupied the Xianbei people's camps.
At this moment, he had already hid far away.
Fu Pi roared loudly, and the Di people from top to bottom started shouting. Their shouts were layered one on top of another, making them appear very rhythmic.
The sound spread farther and farther and became clearer and clearer. When Wang Mi heard it clearly, he immediately smiled.
"This Fu Pi is a bit interesting."
"I also learned how to transmit sounds through the air."
"Jinnu, the Di people are cunning. They are trying to repeat their old tricks. You must not be fooled."
"They want to trick you into taking you to the city. They must have bad intentions!"
This time, not only Liu Yu was opposed, but He Mai, who had always supported him, stepped forward to stop him.
The reputation of Di people has been severely damaged.
Although his comrades persuaded him firmly, Wang Mi still did not listen.
I could only hear him say: "Everyone has said that the general will show up, so I can't be a coward here."
"It's too dangerous ahead. How about I go for you?"
Liu Yu made reasonable suggestions, but He Mai disagreed: "Jinu, you can't go."
"Although Fu Pi doesn't know you, Yang Baihua knows Zhiyuan and you. Once you leave, it might be even more dangerous!"
"Jinnu, Amai is right."
"As the commander-in-chief of an army, how can I cower?"
"Jiu Nu, let's go and meet him!"
So, Liu Yu and Wang Mi rode forward on their horses and slowly approached the tower of Yecheng. The Jin army had been retreating for a while. Although they had not yet entered the Xianbei camp, several positions were already close.
.
Judging from Wang Mi's current journey, if he wanted to walk to the gate of Yecheng and let General Fu Pi take a clear look, it would take him a cup of tea.
What kind of person is Mr. Wang?
How could he suffer this loss alone?
Except for Liu Yu, several brothers were left behind to take care of the soldiers, but Wang Miye was also followed by hundreds of soldiers.
Although their numbers are small, their combat effectiveness is roaring, and they have all the necessary bows, arrows, pistols, and artillery.
With these friends, Wang Shilang is very confident.
"Ji Nu, when we get to the city, we can't sit still and wait for death. We have identified the opportunity and let the artillery team attack first. Don't give the Di people a chance to take action!"
Liu Yu looked stern: "You mean, the Di people are likely to attack us?"
Although Liu Yu also had this level of worry, in his opinion, even if he wanted to take action, at least he would have to wait until the two armies formally confronted each other.
The people Fu Pi wanted to see were the ones they promised to come and follow the etiquette of the army and show respect to the enemy general. This is necessary, right?
"Ji Nu, you are still too upright."
"You forgot, just now they were trying to trick me into the Yecheng tower. Whether they wanted to take me as a hostage or to kill me, in short they had murderous intentions."
"At that time, the situation was not urgent at all. They could all do this. Now that the Xianbei people have withdrawn, the only enemies left in Yecheng are our Jin army and Jinu. Do you think they want to get me?"
die?"
Liu Yu patted his forehead, suddenly alert.
Yes!
How could I forget this?
"That moment when you are walking behind me, you must not let this guy succeed!"
Just now, Fu Pi made it very clear that it was Wang Mi that he always wanted to see. When he asked Yang Baihua to come out to deliver the message, he also asked to see Wang Mi by name.
This shows that he has no interest in the other generals of the Jin army. Liu Yu feels that it is safer for him to go in front.
Wang Mi waved his hand and refused.
"No need, let the archers be ready. Before they can say anything, we will call the artillery to the tower. Isn't it a good idea to get the upper hand?"
"In this way, no matter what conspiracy they have, we can easily defeat them!"
So cruel?
Liu Yu was a little shocked, but he didn't expect that Wang Mi didn't intend to give Qin Bing any chance.
So decisive!
he likes.
The sight changed slightly. On the tower of Yecheng City, General Fu Pi, who felt good about himself, was indeed not idle either.
"Get ready. As soon as the Jin army approaches, you will fire arrows. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, general, don't worry, your subordinates understand."
Of course Fu Pi would not let Wang Mi come and go back easily. He had already been gearing up and waiting to kill Wang Mi.
At this time, his right-hand assistant also came to him, it was General Yang Baihua.
Due to the tenacious resistance of the Xianbei people, neither Yang Baihua nor Fu Zuan could return to Yecheng intact, and both of them were stained.
Fortunately, the injuries were all controllable. Although he was a bit weak to go into battle, there was still no problem in directing the soldiers to fight.
At this time, the person who directed the archers to take their positions was none other than Yang Baihua.
He knew Wang Mi, and Fu Pi was relieved about this.
You won't get the wrong person.
And General Fu Pi himself would naturally not stand still and seek danger for himself.
In addition to the archers, the shield bearers had also been in place to protect Fu Pi.
In addition to these people, many soldiers were still crowded on the spacious Yecheng city tower. Some of them were carrying boiling oil, some were carrying stones, and various weapons. They were very busy.
Below the tower, it was equally lively.
Under the command of Fu Zuan, the only skilled craftsmen among the people in the city also gathered under the city wall. Some were responsible for repairing the city wall, while others were responsible for digging trenches and carrying supplies upwards.
The combat effectiveness of the entire Ye City has been fully mobilized. Several Di Qin generals are very satisfied and feel that they are still the masters of this city.
Um!
very good!
They felt very good, but they didn't know that those seemingly diligent villagers were actually in the Cao camp and their hearts were in the Han Dynasty.
They are working hard now just because they want to occupy the advantageous position inside the city wall. As long as there is any movement from the Jin army, they will rise up.
All preparations for the war are complete, just waiting for the protagonist to appear.
But at this time, our Wang Mi and Wang Shilang were still walking forward leisurely with a firm yet slow pace, without any intention of being in a hurry.
The protagonist's appearance must be pompous and decent. These people are just foils, existing solely to build momentum for Wang Shilang.
Fu Pi on the city tower widened his eyes, stretched his neck, and finally saw the Jin army in the dusty sky.
hehe!
Sure enough, they didn't come alone. OK, no one will be spared, no matter how many they come, they will kill as many as they come.
Just when the two sides were about to meet, there was suddenly no movement, either on the tower or below.
It fell into silence, a deathly silence.
No matter which party is insisting, observing, and snooping.
Find the best time to take action.
For now, the advantage lies with Di Qin. The weapons in their hands have a wider attack range and a longer distance.
Therefore, as far as Wang Mi is concerned, their numbers are small and their momentum is relatively weak, so they can only calculate carefully and approach carefully.
I'm afraid it will give Qin Bing a chance to take action first.
"Zhiyuan, how long do we have to wait?"
From a distance, one could already see the flags of the Qin soldiers on the towers of Yecheng City, and Liu Yu's heart fluttered unconsciously.
Somewhat nervous.
What is unavoidable is not only a little fear, but also excitement.
Finally I can have a good fight!
"Soon, soon!"
One step, two steps, three or four steps...
The Qin soldiers on the city tower gradually drew their long bows and stared straight ahead. In their eyes, the target was slowly approaching.
Are the legs and feet of these Jin troops broken?
Why are you walking so slowly!
Are you kidding me?
The closer they got to the location, the slower the brothers of the Jin army walked. Especially those in the artillery team behind Wang Mi suppressed their pace and refused to take an extra step.
Can you shoot arrows?
Won't we?
Unlike the pistol team, the artillery team's equipment includes not only artillery, but also bows and arrows!
Moreover, these bows and arrows are not ordinary bows and arrows, they are powerful divine bows, and the soldiers who can use such bows and arrows are specially selected.
He has extraordinary arm strength and can also use artillery.
This is all done because of the artillery.
The artillery currently equipped is relatively heavy and cannot be moved with ordinary bows and arrows, so larger bows and arrows can only be used.
At the same time, the requirements for archers are also higher, and these are all provided.
A strong wind blew by, blowing up the soldiers' hair. Wang Mi saw the opportunity, waved his hand, and Liu Yu said back: "Fire the arrow!"
Following the orders given by the two generals, the artillerymen quickly arrived, and faster than their horses were the bows and arrows in their hands.
Whoosh whoosh!
All of a sudden, hundreds of arrows were fired!
The sharp cloud-piercing arrows made a buzzing sound, and the artillery hanging below the arrows also made a hissing sound.
The Qin soldiers ascending the city tower did not expect that the Jin army would dare to take action first, and they were stunned for a moment.
What made them stupid was not only the lightning-fast attack speed of the Jin army, but also their weapons.
They look like arrows, but they are definitely not ordinary arrows. There is a ball-shaped thing hanging under each arrow.
The bows and arrows drove the ball into the sky. Although the speed was a bit slow, there was no doubt that these bows and arrows were heading towards the Yecheng tower.
"quick!"
"Fight back quickly!"
Fu Pi hurriedly retreated. Although he still didn't know what the mysterious weapon was, he knew how powerful it was.
Just now, right next to his feet, that weird thing fell down and almost exploded his butt.
If the battle hadn't been fierce now and he really couldn't escape, he would have hid in the city and never came out.
He hid behind the shield formation, and all the archers were in place. Suddenly, arrows fell like rain, and the big rocks also hit the heads of the Jin brothers unceremoniously.
I go!
There are actually big rocks!
Too careless!
Where's the shield?
No...didn't bring it!
Although the reinforcements were right behind them and following them closely, the distant water could not quench their thirst. Seeing arrows being fired on the city, He Wuji commanded the soldiers to approach quickly. But in such a short period of time, Wang Mi
They were still exposed to the rain of arrows from the Qin soldiers.
It’s really dangerous!
Liu Yu was in front, commanding a group of soldiers to stand in front of Wang Mi and resist frantically. The arrows flying down from the tower were scattered one after another.
Of course, the efficiency of doing this will not be too high. After all, it is a purely human operation. It can only be said to give people a kind of psychological comfort.
Compared with those arrow clusters that keep shooting at me, this kind of blocking is still a drop in the bucket.
While others were busy, Wang Shilang himself was not idle either. From time to time, he used the handle of his knife to knock out the fish that slipped through the net.
Boom boom!
Bang bang bang!
A loud noise rose into the sky, and Wang Mi was finally freed!
The rain of arrows that greeted him crazily stopped suddenly, became sparse, and was never seen again.
"good!"
"Very good!"
I finally managed to hold it!
In front of Wang Mi's eyes, the solid Yecheng city tower saw stones flying away, dust flying, and bluestone bricks and tiles falling down.
The re-reinforced parapet, which was still the main structure made of rammed earth, has now collapsed in half. The few archers left on the tower were clearly exposed in front of the Jin army.
And now, the time is just right.
Wang Mi led the artillery team and arrived at the bottom of the city tower.
"General Fu, where are you?"
"The general of the Jin army is here, come out early to meet us!"
come!
Didn't this request come from someone's own mouth?
Now that Wang Mi has arrived, he is nowhere to be seen. Doesn't this mean that he has not kept his promise?
In this case, Wang Mi never intended to save face for the Di people. He Wuji led the army to catch up quickly, and the postures between the two sides were evened up!
How about it?
Can you tell who wins and who loses at this moment?
The outcome was unclear for a while, but General Fu was lucky enough to survive the series of artillery attacks!
A string of artillery fell, and the tower was suddenly blown into pieces (although there were neither dogs nor chickens on the tower).
Almost instantly, there were bursts of wailing all around, accompanied by cannons flying up, and countless arrows.
There are more and more arrow clusters, getting denser and denser, as if there is no end.
The soldiers around him fell down in droves, and the entire defense system of the tower was reduced to nothing in almost an instant.
Of course, the commander-in-chief Fu Pi was not immune. After the first round of artillery attacks, he was affected by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of the artillery and was knocked aside.
Fu Pi fell backwards, but he saw that the door of the main room behind him opened. Fu Pi was carried by the shock wave, and he was carried into the main room.
Dust covered his body, he fainted and could not move for a long time.
Fu Pi felt that various sounds were surrounding him. It was very noisy, but he could not hear a word clearly. He only felt that they were like mosquitoes buzzing around him.
Not long after, when the pain in his body finally subsided, Fu Pi finally regained consciousness. He reluctantly got up and almost crawled out of the main room.
