"Well!" Although he was still a little impatient, but the matter was over, Zu Mao didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and said to Wu Jing and Gu Jian: "That's it, send more in these days.
If you go to the north and have a look, you don’t know when the reinforcements sent by the lord will arrive! Huh! If the reinforcements from the lord come, I won’t have to worry about so much, I will just kill them! I might as well take Jingzhou to him!
"As he spoke, Zu Mao's face was full of anger, obviously thinking of the deaths of Huang Gai and Han Dang!
Seeing that Zu Mao was about to lose his temper again, Wu Jing and Gu Jian hurriedly stood up and left to avoid Zu Mao venting his anger on them. But before they could leave the meeting hall, they heard voices from outside.
There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and a sergeant ran in with a panic face, almost knocking Gu Jian down! But before Gu Jian could get angry, the sergeant ran straight into the meeting hall regardless, and headed towards
Zu Mao knelt down and shouted: "General! It's not good! It's not good! A large number of troops suddenly appeared outside the city!"
"What?" Three voices sounded at the same time. Zu Mao stood up immediately, Wu Jing also turned around and ran into the meeting hall, and Gu Jian didn't even bother to pursue the rudeness of the sergeant just now. All three of them were
He stared at the sergeant with wide eyes, unable to believe what he just heard.
The sergeant turned pale, pointed tremblingly in the direction outside the meeting hall, and said to Zu Mao: "General! Just now, just now, many soldiers and horses came from outside the city, at least five or six thousand people!
All, all cavalry!"
"Impossible!" The first person to shout was Gu Jian. Gu Jian grabbed the sergeant's shoulder and shouted: "How come so many cavalry suddenly appeared? Impossible! You keep talking nonsense.
!Watch your head!"
"Gu Jian!" This sergeant was a subordinate who had followed Zu Mao for many years. Zu Mao was nothing but a man who liked to protect his enemies. Seeing Gu Jian threatening his subordinates, Zu Mao immediately became unhappy and violently
With a drink, he stepped forward and grabbed Gu Jian's wrist! Gu Jian was usually pampered, but how could he withstand such a grasp from a rough man like Zu Mao? He immediately screamed in pain. Zu Mao, on the other hand, screamed in pain.
With a cold snort, he threw Gu Jian aside, then turned to the sergeant and shouted: "Have you ever seen clearly what the other person's background is?"
Wu Jing, who was on the side, already felt bad at this moment. The army that could appear outside Wujun City at this time, and there were such a large number of cavalry, could only be the rumored cavalry of the Western Qin Army! It just made Wu Jing think
What makes no sense is why the Mao Blade Qingqi suddenly appeared in Wu County? According to the intelligence sent by Lu Xun a few days ago, the Qin army should still be staying in Wu Ning City!
While Wu Jing was thinking hard, Zu Mao didn't get any useful information from the sergeant. The sergeant just saw enemy troops arriving and hurried over to report to Zu Mao without even looking at it.
We know the origin of that army! Zu Mao was also a little impatient and simply shouted: "Never mind! Let's go! Let's go up to the top of the city and have a look!" With that, he strode outside. Wu
Jing glanced at Zu Mao's back, then turned to look at Gu Jian who was lying on the ground groaning, shook his head, but quickly followed him.
Soon, Zu Mao and Wu Jing rushed to the city in the south of the city. As soon as they stepped onto the city, Zu Mao and Wu Jing were dumbfounded by the formation outside the city. Outside the city, they saw darkness.
The whole area is full of soldiers and horses, at least tens of thousands of people! On both sides of the enemy's formation, nearly five thousand cavalry are lined up and watching eagerly. If it weren't for the obstruction of the city wall, I'm afraid these cavalry alone would be enough.
The defenders in the city suffered! However, this did not make Zu Mao and Wu Jing feel at ease, because in the center of the enemy's formation, a group of sword and ax soldiers were lined up neatly and began to move toward the city wall. After all, just
Just looking at the momentum of these sword and ax soldiers is enough to prove that they are a powerful army!
"The brave army!" Zu Mao's eyes narrowed, and his cheeks couldn't help but tremble. Zu Mao was very familiar with this army. From the first contact in Fancheng to the later battle of Hulao Pass, Yong
The impact of the soldiers on Zu Mao was quite profound! After so many years, when he encountered this army again, Zu Mao still felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart!
"How could this happen? Why did the Qin army appear here?" Wu Jing finally couldn't help shouting. Although Wu Jing usually behaved calmly, after all, he was just a civil servant who had never been on the battlefield.
A descendant of an aristocratic family. Faced with so many enemies and Wu Jun only had less than 3,000 defenders, Wu Jing could no longer maintain his composure!
"Shut up!" The straight-tempered Zu Mao didn't care whether Wu Jing was Sun Jian's brother-in-law. He glared at Wu Jing fiercely and snorted: "Such a simple fact is in front of you, don't you understand?
It’s just that those tricks you made have failed! Not only that, we were also plotted by the other party! Forget it! This is just what I want! I want to see if the Yongzhu Army is still strong after all these years.
As powerful as before! Send my military order! Mobilize all the troops and horses to come to the city! Guard the city to the death!"
As the saying goes, the courage of soldiers is the courage of soldiers. Zu Mao's roar finally calmed down the frightened Sun Wu soldiers on the top of the city. Although the Qin army was powerful, Sun Wu's soldiers and horses were not bad, and soon they were in
With Zu Mao's orders, he began to set up a defensive formation at the top of the city in an orderly manner! However, after all, it was a temporary city defense. It was obviously much simpler to rush to the enemy in this way, but now Zu Mao didn't care so much, because Yong
The soldiers have already rushed to the city wall!
"Archers cover!" "Archers prepare!"
Two loud shouts rang out from the top of the city and under the city wall respectively. Then, with a dense sound of piercing the air, countless arrows intertwined between the top of the city and the city wall, taking away the lives of many soldiers! On the city wall
Next, the Qin army generals Huang Xu and Li Yan, who were responsible for the immediate command, frowned at the same time and glanced at each other. They were obviously a little surprised that the enemy general could organize such an effective defense method in a hurry. However, now
This was not the time to be surprised. Huang Xu's face darkened and he shouted: "Step forward with the ladder! Keep the archers covering! Rush to the top of the city!"
Huang Xu's decision was very decisive. Under Huang Xu's command, the brave soldiers continued to attack the city despite the rain of arrows shot from the city! And on the city, Zu Mao did not hesitate at all.
Standing proudly by the female wall, pointing the sword in his hand towards the outside of the city, he shouted loudly: "The archers continue to attack! Has the boiling oil not been burned yet? There are still rocks! Move the rocks! Hit me! Give me the enemy.
Smash it down!"
Although there were no loopholes in Zu Mao's command, the Qin army's attack came too suddenly. There were not many defensive equipment prepared on the city, let alone boiling oil, stones, and even arrows.
There were not many preparations! After several rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the arrows of the archers on the top of the city had been used up, and the boiling oil and stones Zu Mao needed were not yet ready. It seemed that Zu Mao was
He felt anxious for a while, but he was helpless! Seeing those brave soldiers like countless ants about to climb up the city, Zu Mao cursed and raised his ring head
Dao shouted: "Everyone! Draw your sword! Get ready to meet the enemy!"
As Zu Mao's order was issued, Sun Wu's soldiers on the city top drew out their melee weapons one after another, and even the archers drew out the daggers on their waists! The soldiers and horses temporarily summoned on the city head
There are too few, less than a thousand people. If you want to block the opponent's attack, all the strength on the city must be invested! Moreover, the archers without arrows have no other use except fighting with the opponent!
"Kill!" Seeing a head emerging from the female wall, Zu Mao, who had been waiting for a long time, flashed his eyes with a cold light, raised his knife and chopped it! There was no suspense, and as a stream of blood gushes out like spray,
The head flew high into the sky in an instant, and the body without the head only swayed on the city wall, then rolled back and fell off the city wall!
Zu Mao's sword announced the beginning of the most brutal hand-to-hand combat on the city! For a moment, blood mixed with severed limbs were flying on the entire city, falling continuously on the heads of the brave soldiers under the city wall, and those brave soldier soldiers
However, they did not react at all, and continued to rush toward the ladder that had been fixed on the city wall with their red eyes!
These ladders are not comparable to the simple ladders used in previous battles. These ladders look like towering chariots. At the top of the ladders, metal barbs are deeply embedded in the city wall.
Inside the stone bricks. In this way, even if Sun Wu soldiers on the top of the city wanted to push these ladders away, they couldn't!
And these ladders were made by the Mohist disciples who took refuge in Luo Yang's tent! Since those Mohist disciples took refuge in Luo Yang's tent, Luo Yang naturally would not leave such a big treasure unused. For this reason, Luo Yang also specially established
A department specifically responsible for research and development was established, and all of it was put in charge of these Mohist disciples!
Originally, since the Warring States Period, Mohist disciples had no longer made siege weapons, but in order to let Mohist disciples make siege weapons for themselves, Luo Yang agreed to those Mohist disciples and set up Mohist subjects at Qingcheng College so that Mohist doctrine could be used again.
Carry forward! This condition is simply irresistible to the Mohist disciples who hope to revive the prestige of the Mohist family until their death! In this way, all kinds of amazingly powerful siege equipment was born in the hands of these Mohist disciples!
Of course, before this, Luoyang had never disclosed these siege weapons to the public, because he was afraid that the Kwantung princes would take precautions against them! But this time, Luo Yang was going to officially declare war on the Kwantung princes. Naturally,
I will no longer hide my secrets. The power of Mohist weapons is now once again displayed in the eyes of the world!
