A clicking sound attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and then there was another clicking sound. The well railing more than ten meters high began to tilt. With the tilting of the well railing, the sound of clicking could be heard endlessly. In just a moment, the well railing more than ten meters high began to tilt.
The well fell to the ground with a crash, and the dust rose up and was blown away by the wind, revealing the collapsed well. Under the well, there were many Jiangdong soldiers struggling to remember.
Looking at Jing Lan who fell to the ground, all the Jiangdong soldiers could not hide their horror. Even Taishi Ci and Han Dang beside Zhou Yu also had expressions of disbelief. Zhou Yu silently looked at Jing Lan who fell to the ground, turned around and gave some instructions behind him.
, a messenger quickly left to convey Zhou Yu's order. After a while, the soldiers on the high platform waved the order flag again, and the remaining soldiers on the well fence began to move.
The soldiers on the more than ten well lanterns all raised their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot at Xiushui County. The soldiers on the high platform waved their flags. The soldiers on five of the remaining nine well lanterns let go of their hands. In an instant,
Thousands of bows and arrows flew towards the city. The soldiers on the city raised their shields again and prepared to resist. The sound of rapid impact spread throughout the whole place.
As soon as the sound fell, the shield in front of the giant crossbow was lowered again. However, just as the shield was lowered, hundreds of arrows fell down. Unlike last time, this time the arrows were all concentrated on the giant crossbow.
.It turned out that after the soldiers on the five wells shot and suppressed the soldiers on the city, the remaining four soldiers on the wells shot all their arrows at the five giant military crossbows.
Hundreds of arrows hit the bodies of more than ten soldiers who were controlling giant crossbows. Even the best armor could not withstand it. The arrows smashed the thick armor of the soldiers into pieces, and then ten
The rest of the soldiers were pierced by the arrows that followed. Even the giant crossbows in their hands were shattered by the impact of the flying arrows. However, the shield that fell to the ground in front of the soldiers was also cracked by the impact.
These shields, which were thick enough to withstand giant crossbows, were destroyed in this way.
The Jiangdong soldiers below the city who had difficulty accepting the destruction of the well gate immediately burst into cheers. Xu Shu on the city had a gloomy look on his face. He did not expect Zhou Yu to come up with a solution so quickly. As he looked at the five
The giant military crossbow can destroy at least three wells in Jiangdong. Looking at the cheering Jiangdong soldiers outside the city, Xu Shu waved his hand, and nearly a hundred soldiers immediately rushed up from the city. These soldiers were all carrying huge shields to destroy the place where they were originally destroyed.
Block it.
Zhou Yu outside the city glanced at the city and said to Taishi Ci beside him: "Go back ten miles and set up camp."
Taishi Ci and Han Dang were both shocked. Although Jiangdong's soldiers suffered more casualties, attacking the city was a waste of troops, and the current situation was favorable to Jiangdong no matter which direction they looked at. The two were about to step forward to persuade them,
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Today's army is extremely exhausted when we arrive here. In addition, coupled with the siege, the soldiers are already at their limit. In addition, although the catapult has dozens of huge rocks, it is not enough to destroy the city wall of Xiushui County."
, need more boulders.”
Taishi Ci nodded and went to deliver the order. Not long after, all the soldiers who attacked the city came back at a high altitude. Taishi Ci personally took up the position behind to guard against a sneak attack by the soldiers and horses in the city.
Everyone in the city was overjoyed to see Jiangdong's retreat. Although the attack just now was short-lived, the city lost hundreds of soldiers and horses. Although it was not much, they also saw the horror of a strong attack.
Liu Pan even pushed away the shield he was blocking in front of him and ran to Xu Shu and said: "Commander, Jiangdong has retreated. Do you want to pursue them now?"
Xu Shu glanced at Liu Pan and shook his head and said: "No, you see, Tai Shici is holding the formation behind to prevent us from sneak attacks, and we cannot relax our guard yet. If Jiangdong soldiers and horses turn around and fight back to the city, they will suffer heavy losses."
"
When Liu Pan heard Xu Shu's words, he immediately ordered his soldiers to be on guard with a face on his face. However, Jiangdong's soldiers left without any intention of looking back, which made all these preparations in vain.
Seeing Jiangdong's army leaving, Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at the giant military crossbow that had fallen apart and said to Ma Liang beside him: "Pack up these crossbow fragments and gather the bows and arrows in the city to see if they can be repaired?"
Ma Liang nodded and ordered his people to pack up these casual shots and go to summon the craftsmen. These military crossbows are sharp weapons against Jinglan. Without these military crossbows, the soldiers on the city tomorrow would be overwhelmed by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and the losses would be even more serious.
.
Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong again and said: "Take care of the battlefield." After saying that, a group of soldiers and horses came to the city to collect the corpses and weapons on the city. Outside the city, Jiangdong soldiers and horses had already transported all the corpses of Jiangdong soldiers and horses before they left.
Walk.
The Jiangdong army retreated ten miles to camp. At this time, in the Chinese army's tent, Zhou Yu looked at Taishi Ci, Han Dang and more than ten young generals in front of him and said: "There are no boulders today, and the catapults cannot be used. Even if we forcefully attack the city, we will lose money."
It’s so tragic that one person needs to lead the troops to collect huge rocks for tomorrow’s siege. Who are you waiting for who is willing to go?”
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, three or four young generals came forward and said: "I will go there in the end."
Zhou Yu nodded and looked at the others and said, "You and each of you will lead a thousand soldiers and horses up the mountain to look for huge rocks to guard against sneak attacks by Jingzhou soldiers and horses."
"No." The four young generals immediately took the order and left the tent.
Zhou Yu then looked at Tai Shi Ci and said, "You lead five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush outside Xiushui County. If Xiushui County sends soldiers and horses, ignore them and wait until they return. You will ambush them on the road."
"No." Taishi Ci bowed to accept the order and left.
Zhou Yu looked at Han Dang again and said, "You are leading the soldiers and horses to ambush outside the camp. If you see Jingzhou soldiers and horses coming to steal the camp and attack from behind, you must not let anyone go."
"No." Han Dang immediately accepted the order.
Zhou Yu then divided the remaining ten young generals into two teams to be responsible for the defense of the camp before and after midnight. He divided each pair into five groups to guard the four sides and the center of the camp respectively.
After giving the instructions, Zhou Yu looked in the direction of Xiushui County without saying a word for a long time. With his arrangement, he was not sure that Xu Shu would definitely order people to attack, but he would not let go of any opportunity. Fighting against the soldiers and horses in the city was a desperate matter.
However, Jiangdong soldiers and horses, Xu Shu would definitely send people to sneak attack in order to reduce the pressure during the day. Catapults and wells were the focus of their sneak attack, and Zhou Yu had to guard against them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu shouted to the door again: "Here comes someone."
As soon as the voice fell, a general opened the curtain and walked in. This man was the captain of the personal guards sent by Sun Ce to Zhou Yu. He was selected from the personal guards. When this man saw Zhou Yu, he hurriedly bowed and said: "The Commander-in-Chief
."
Zhou Yu nodded and ordered the person to come forward, whispered a few words in his ear, and then ordered the person to go forward and prepare.
