() Once the Chu army was well prepared, Wei Teng wore heavy armor and came to the city defense. Others could temporarily hide for a moment or two. As the commander of the reinforcements, he dodged.
No. Seeing the dense crowd of people under the tower, although Wei Teng expressed respect for Wang Jian, seeing this scene, he still couldn't help but greet Wang Bi again!
"Later, keep your eyes open. If there is any danger, run away quickly. We are only following the king's order to defend the city. We are not actively attacking the enemy. We will only wait for reinforcements to arrive. It won't be too late for our sons to make another contribution!"
Teng shouted loudly, and when he saw the many soldiers who were unwilling to hide behind him because of his order, they all looked suspicious, and he immediately understood their plan. They probably wanted to take this opportunity to steal more heads and perform meritorious deeds, and suddenly felt a headache
! Almost all of these people were picked by Wang Bi that day and were not taken away. They were all arrogant and arrogant. Who was willing to obey anyone? Why should the others follow Wang Bi into Wei State to kill the enemy?
They have accomplished great feats, but they can only hide in Nanyang County. Now they are ordered to only escape and defend the city, not to attack. In this way, it would be fine if Wang Ben and others cannot get military merit, but with Wang Ben
Ben Xingzi, think about it, this is impossible. It is certain that those colleagues will follow Wang Ben to kill the enemy!
Comparing the two situations, others saw that they were about to be promoted and make a fortune, but he and others could only wait for reinforcements to arrive. Many people were so depressed that they vomited blood, and they all blamed Wei Teng. Wei Teng was also depressed, he and Wang Bi
The order he received was just to defend the city. Unexpectedly, Wang Lu made a mess and led his people to cause trouble in Wei State, which caused the people who stayed behind to follow suit! He also cursed Wang Ben half to death in his heart. Wei Teng refused.
Under the pressure of everyone's dissatisfaction, he repeated loudly:... .
"You are not allowed to go out of the city to kill the enemy. Your Majesty told me that you only need to defend Nanyang. This will be a great achievement. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, if Nanyang County is safe and sound, it will be your credit!" Wei Teng finished his sentence and answered his question.
There were only a few sparse sounds, and he was depressed to death. However, he saw many people standing back on the city wall with slumped shoulders. Although he was so depressed that he vomited blood, he was somewhat relieved. If all the people in front of him were impulsive
Just use military merit to grab people's heads, I'm afraid everyone will open the city gate and rush down, so there will be no defense battle. It's better to just open the city gate and kill everyone!
When Wei Teng thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He quickly suppressed his impulse and gave a few more instructions, but he saw that everything was ready. The drumbeats became more and more urgent, and in the end, every beat seemed to be hitting someone.
The heart was so moved that it made people tremble heavily. The catapult was pushed forward. Wei Teng said quickly: "My sons, first use the crossbow to capture the Chu soldiers who control the catapult!" When the Qin soldiers heard this,
There was someone to kill, and I finally got a little more excited. Many people responded and waited for the stones to be thrown down. When the Chu army started to throw, they quickly pushed the crossbows and aimed them in the direction, and there was a "whoosh" sound.
In the middle, a ball of arrows flew downwards!
'Ah!' This mass of arrows was not fired at the same time by all chariots and crossbows. When the Chu army below saw this thing, many people were uneasy and moved for a while. Xiang Yan saw that it was not good and quickly shouted and beat the drums.
Suddenly it became more urgent, one after another, like the endless spring rain beating on the eaves. This was effective, and it suppressed the terrifying impression in the hearts of some soldiers.
Once the crossbows were launched, the catapults of the Chu army on the other side of the city naturally began to launch. Although a group of Chu soldiers died under the arrows of the crossbows, there were still people behind who were urged to step forward. 'Boom!'
After bursts of dull noises, stones weighing at least a jun or more suddenly flew up together. Although many stones collided in mid-air and knocked each other into pieces and fell down, there were also some.
Many stones flew straight up to the city wall. The catapult could only grasp the general direction, but the specific angle and height were not the same. Many stones hit the wall, and the city wall was indeed dented.
Entering a big hole, there is the sound of "sand" when the soil falls from time to time. The scene of tens of millions of stones flying together, many of them smashing on the wall, is also the shocking scene of the earthquake a few minutes ago!
The stones collided in mid-air, bursting out strings of tiny fires. When the Qin soldiers on the tower saw this scene, they quickly thought about Wei Teng's words. They are not stupid. Now they have no military merit.
As long as you can defend the city and save your life, if you still stand there and get beaten and don't know how to hide, you are an idiot! At this time, the Qin soldiers showed their excellent performance when they were abused by Wang Ben. Some of them could find a place to hide.
With lightning speed, he hurriedly ran towards his back in other directions as if his butt was on fire. What he couldn't hide was to take out the steel shield given to him by Wang Ben and hold it against his body like a sword.
Wang Ben's strength was extraordinary, and when he was practicing archery, others could not hide away. Those who were injured could not seek justice from him. Instead, he had to find opportunities to teach him a lesson. The soldiers naturally found the law of resistance under his constant ravages.
Many people paid for their shields themselves, or worked for craftsmen in workshops, and went through the back door to get shields made of pure steel. They were guarding against a guy like Wang Ben who acted unreasonably! Can he stay at this moment?
The people who came down were all very experienced in facing such a sudden attack. As long as they could run away, if they couldn't, they would put up their shields one by one and squat down. Those who had time could still
Take a look around!
'Dong dong dong!' A series of thunderous dull sounds sounded one after another, including the sound of stones hitting the crossbow, the sharp sound of stones hitting the tower and falling to the ground, and even the sound of stones hitting the steel shield.
The 'sonorous' sound!
There was no rush on the top of the city tower, but Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw such a scene below the city tower! The catapult is really effective. It can't deal with new weapons like crossbows without understanding its characteristics.
If you use the clumsiest but most powerful thing to deal with it, and use brute force to forcibly restrain its destructive power! Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, he does not believe that the crossbow has only advantages and no shortcomings! Now he can see that a catapult can restrain the car.
Although the speed of loading stones is a bit slow, crossbows have finally found hope. As long as they can get a crossbow like Qin's in one day, and then transport it back to Chu to study more, they will eventually be able to find the restraint of this thing one day.
This method will not necessarily require a siege weapon as large and difficult to move as a catapult!
Seeing that there was no one on the tower for an instant, Xiang Yan didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that the Qin soldiers were afraid of the power of his catapult, and were afraid to avoid it! Once this thought came to mind, Xiang Yan's morale became even higher.
Since even the Qin soldiers know that they are afraid, they may be able to win today's battle. The scheming plan that I thought was useless before may not be as useless as I thought. Maybe the Qin soldiers are already afraid of the enemy.
Deep down in my heart, I just don't want to admit it. Otherwise, how could I hide so quickly at this time, and I am not as brave as the rumors!
Xiang Yan's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he shouted loudly: "Get on the catapult again, remove the cart from the front, and then equip it with stones and other objects for later use!" He gave the order, and naturally people ran away.
With his leg broken, Xiang Yan now has a taste of the power of the catapult, so he naturally prepares to use it as his main attack. Xiang Yan is cautious and is well prepared for the catapult early in the morning. Now even three rounds of catapults are enough, even on the city tower.
Use chariots and crossbows to counterattack, but the worst thing is that when the army retreats, once they counterattack, they will retreat, and then move forward after loading the stones. The crossbows will always be exhausted, but the stones themselves have been prepared in large quantities. In this way
Thinking about it, Xiang Yan was even more certain of winning, and quickly urged people to get on the rocks.
At this time, after the first wave of hits on the city tower, those who had escaped quickly stopped when they saw the stone attack, and then they were all exposed. The crossbow had already been hit by many large stones, although the crossbow
It is made of steel, which is extremely hard and not easily damaged. However, the arrows and other objects that were already mounted on it were smashed and deformed. Many of them can no longer be used and can only be removed and reloaded. Some of the arrows that were originally hidden on it were deformed.
Only then did the soldiers carrying shields under the city show their faces. Except for a few people who were injured when they raised their shields with both arms, no one was hit by stones and died.
Even if these people carried the shields, they could not exert much strength for the time being, so they had to be replaced by others. Wei Teng directed the people to replace the soldiers who were originally guarding the crossbows one by one. He saw that many people were only injured.
Because he couldn't lift the shield, when the stone hit him hard and the shield hit his head, he was injured. Even if Wei Teng complained about Wang Bi at this moment, it can be seen that the reaction and arm strength of these soldiers he had trained, but he was still injured.
I couldn't laugh or cry again.
Xiang Yan was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, after Qin soldiers came out to push the crossbows, he looked from a distance and found that these crossbows were almost undamaged and still had the power to fire. How could this be possible? Xiang Yan was surprised.
The smile on his face suddenly froze, and he stood up. Although the two sides were very far away, and it was not possible to see clearly from such a distance, he still refused to believe his eyes. Qin Bing had disappeared.
They appeared again, pushed away the crossbows, and replaced them with a new batch!
"Impossible!" Xiang Yan's heart sank. The catapult was so powerful that it could even break a hole in the city wall. No matter how powerful the crossbow was, it shouldn't be so strong that it couldn't even break the stones!
If this chariot and crossbow can still be used, wouldn't it mean that he will be destroyed endlessly, and he will have to pay some soldier casualties to capture Nanyang County? When Xiang Yan thought of this, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were lustful.
He ordered in a deep voice: "The catapults will not stop. If any soldiers lose their lives, immediately prepare manpower to replace them!" (To be continued.)
