The drums were rumbling, slow and powerful, making the sand on the ground tremble.
The Qin soldiers lined up in a long line under Jin Yong City, with chariots, ladders, curtains, catapults, etc. lying in front of the array like monsters.
The horn sounded and the chariot began to move forward slowly. Anhui, a four-wheeled cart, is made of rough wood and covered with rawhide. It can accommodate more than ten people underneath, who are hidden in the cart and pushed forward.
"Turtle Shell" slowly moved to the edge of the trench, preparing to fill the moat in front of Jinyong City with earth and rocks.
Immediately afterwards, the trebuchet began to exert its power, and stones as big as the altar flew up like hailstones, hitting the city wall, leaving shallow craters on the wall.
The soldiers at the top of the city fled in panic. Some hid under the arrow stacks, some ran into the arrow tower, some lay motionless on the ground, and some simply wanted to run down the city...
The Jin flag was knocked to the ground and stepped on several times by the fleeing soldiers. Yang Anxuan stepped forward, picked up the flag, and shouted: "Float down and hide behind the arrow stacks. The commander and the corps commander restrain their subordinates. They are not allowed to wander around. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
Yang Anxuan stood upright holding a flag in his left hand and a shield in his right hand. Stones came towards Yang Anxuan one after another. Yang Anxuan opened his bow from left to right to push away the incoming stones, and stood on the top of the city without giving an inch.
Seeing that the general was not afraid at all, the soldiers became more courageous. They lowered themselves and hid behind the arrow stacks as they shouted.
A gust of wind unfolded the flag in his hand, and Yang Anxuan shouted loudly, like a god.
The soldiers at the top of the city cheered loudly involuntarily, some imitated the example of standing up with a shield, and the morale on the city tower was high.
Yang Anxuan planted the flag and shouted: "Catapults, fight back and smash the anthronium carts."
There were more than twenty catapults placed at the top of the city. Flying stones flew into the air and hit the catapults and the trench bridge built on the moat.
The stone fell on the cowhide of the cart and bounced away, but it also caused the body of the cart to tremble and the wheels to make a screeching sound.
The trench bridge was hit by stones, making a cracking sound, and sawdust flew with the stones. Stones rained down like rain, but with little effort, the trench bridge collapsed and the chariot overturned to the ground.
The war drums were thundering, and the Qin soldiers pushed the ladders across the trench bridge, rushed to the bottom of the city, and began to hit the city gate, causing the sand and stones on the city wall to fall.
Stones and rolling logs were thrown from the top of the city, knocking the ram around, and finally fell to the ground with a squeaking sound after being overwhelmed by the weight.
The Qin soldiers rushed to the city. The Qin army's slingers stopped throwing stones. The Jin army at the top of the city stood up and shot downwards with their bows.
The arrows were just like raindrops, and the Qin army held up shields one after another, and the "click-click" sound was urgent, like a sudden rain hitting banana trees.
Whistling sounds, shouts of killing, and roars of pain mixed together in the sky above Jinyong City. The color of blood spread under the city.
The iron hook at the front of the ladder truck was placed on the city wall, and the Qin soldiers began to climb up. The rolling wood, which was about a foot thick, rolled down the ladder body. The Qin soldiers at the front were knocked down, and the Qin soldiers behind quickly jumped down from the side.
More than ten cloud ladders were set up on the city wall, and the Qin soldiers climbed up with all their might. Qi Gong had an order to climb up to three levels for the first time, and rewarded a thousand slaves, five hundred cattle and sheep.
Under the heavy reward, there will be many brave men. Qiu Chong was a Di native of the Western Qin Dynasty. He was captured when Yao Xing defeated Dou Chong and was incorporated into the army. After that, he followed Yao Chong in his eastward and westward campaigns, and he became a leader in the army.
Two years ago, Qiu Chong got married and had a son. Qiu Chong felt that he should save more family property for that little man.
Qiu Chong has a dream that when his son is older, he can go to the city to study and read with his husband. Qiu Chong himself was illiterate, but he knew that the emperor liked scholars and that literate people would have great potential in the future.
The rolling log fell, knocking down the two people climbing in front of him. Qiu Mu grabbed the handrail with all his strength and swung out of the ladder. The rolling log fell from his side with the sound of wind.
Holding the knife in his mouth and exerting strength with his hands, Qiu Chong returned to the ladder, grasped the gap between the throwing wood, and climbed up with his hands intertwined.
By the time the Jin army put another rolling log on the city wall, Qiu Chong's hand had already climbed up the battlement and stuck his head out.
When the Jin soldiers on the city wall saw someone sticking their heads out, they stabbed Qiu Chong with their spears unceremoniously. Qiu Chong kicked his foot hard and jumped up. He held the knife in his right hand and slashed at the spear shaft.
The sword was taken from a Xianbei general by Qi Gong Yao Chong when he was annihilating Xue Bo. The blade of the sword is bright and has patterns. I heard people say that it is a sword that has been practiced for hundreds of times and it is extremely fast.
The barrel of the gun broke in response to the knife, and Qiu Chong stepped forward, half of his foot stepping on the city battlement dangerously and dangerously. When the Jin army saw someone ascending the city, they fired several guns at once.
The knife in his hand swept across, and the gun tip fell to the ground. Qiu Chong took advantage of the situation and jumped down from the battlement, stepping firmly on the city.
Yao Chong squinted his eyes and stood inside to watch the battle. When he saw someone jumping off the city wall, he said with great joy: "Beat the drum to cheer up the heroes."
Hearing the sound of drums, the Qin soldiers knew that someone was coming to the city, so they shouted and rushed up. Qiu Chong stood guard in front of the ladder and cut down two attacking Jin soldiers. Qin soldiers came to the city one after another behind him.
Qin soldiers ascended the city and caused a commotion. Yang Anxuan, who was more than ten feet away, signaled Hu Fan to pay attention to the battle situation, and he went straight over with a spear.
Qiu Chong began to move forward, leaving a gap for the Qin soldiers who were ascending the city behind him. The steel knife in his hand chopped off several spears one after another, and the flash of the knife forced the Jin army to retreat.
Yang Anxuan arrived, and without saying a word, he thrust his spear and stabbed him. Qiu Chong used his knife to cut him, and there was a "bang" sound. The shaft trembled like a boneless snake, but it was not cut.
Qiu Chong secretly thought that it was not good and hurriedly turned around to avoid the point of the spear. The tip of the spear grazed the leather armor on his body and cut off the cowhide rope on the leather armor. Qiu Chong broke out in a cold sweat. His opponent was so powerful.
With a shot in the air, Yang Anxuan held the gun body tightly with his right hand, and shook the gun with his left hand. The gun barrel trembled, and with a "buzz" sound, a gunshot of about a foot was drawn, and it hit Qiu Chong's leather armor hard. superior.
Qiu Chong felt as if his chest had been hit by an iron whip, and he became unsteady and stepped back. Behind him, Pao Ze helped him, and someone stood in front of him with a knife.
Yang Anxuan sneered and slashed straight with the blade of the gun. It collided with the steel knife and made a "ding" sound. The Qin soldier holding the knife felt a strong force coming from the tip of the gun and the steel knife fell from his hand.
Before he could react, the tip of the spear had penetrated the leather armor. Yang Anxuan lifted the body up high with all his strength, shook his hands and smashed it towards Qiu Chong. He then smashed the spear in his hand downwards and hit another Qin soldier.
The Qin soldier was caught by Yang Anxuan's power and raised his sword in a panic to block it, but the spear turned a corner flexibly and hit him hard in the ribs.
Qiu Chong avoided the smashed corpse and slashed at Yang Anxuan with a roar. Zhang Feng also followed Yang Anxuan with a gun. When he saw Qiu Chong coming towards him, he stretched out his gun and stabbed Qiu Chong in the thigh.
Zhang Feng was short in stature. Qiu Chong saw that Yang Anxuan didn't pay attention to the cold spear. His thighs felt cold, he felt pain and lost his strength. He knew that he had been plotted against.
There is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness in a life-and-death battle on the battlefield. When Yang Anxuan bowed his head for Qiu Chong, he shot him in the stomach and drove Qiu Chong into the city.
Seeing how brave their general was, the Jin soldiers beside him became more courageous and shouted to kill the remaining Qin soldiers.
Under the city, the Qin troops, encouraged by the sound of drums, rushed towards the city in batches. New charging chariots began to hit the city gate again, and Qin troops boarded another city wall.
Yang Anxuan shouted: "Bring the divine crossbow (1)."
A crossbow is a bow equipped with an arm, which is composed of a crossbow arm, a crossbow bow, a bowstring and a crossbow machine. The reloading time is longer than that of a bow, but the range is longer, the lethality is stronger, and the hit rate is higher, so the user is required to be strong enough.
The crossbows of the Han Dynasty were divided into the open-arm crossbow and the foot-operated kick-open crossbow. At the top of Jinyong City was the Yuanrong Repeating Crossbow made by Zhuge Liang. It could fire ten arrows in a row. It was so big and heavy that it only took three people to fire the crossbow. Can be used defensively.
Ma Jun was improved into a five-arrow repeating crossbow, which reduced the weight and volume and could be used by a single person. However, the craftsmanship was complicated and the arrows were specially made, which has been lost.
In the Jin Dynasty, crossbows were further developed. In addition to the Zhangshen crossbow mentioned by Yang Anxuan, there was also the "Wanjun divine crossbow", which could break warships.
A sergeant brought a divine crossbow, which was more than four feet long. The crossbow arrows were two feet long. It was difficult to pull the bow string without 200 kilograms of strength.
"Protect the fool with a long shield." Yang Anxuan ordered. The sergeants on both sides were ordered to guard the left and right with long shields.
Putting the crossbow arrow into the groove, Yang Anxuan raised his arm, pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and the crossbow arrow as thick as a chicken egg shot out rapidly.
Under the city, the shields of the Qin soldiers were torn apart like pieces of paper, and the soldiers behind the shields screamed and fell to the ground.
Yang Anxuan fired more than ten arrows in a row, and the shield wall under the city was pierced to pieces, and the Qin soldiers began to retreat.
Yao Chong saw that morale was low and all the soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city were killed, so he ordered: "Sound the horn."
The sound of the horn echoed in front of the formation, and the Qin army began to retreat in an orderly manner. Yang Anxuan was secretly shocked. The retreating Qin soldiers were in good order and were well-trained elite soldiers.
After successfully repelling the Qin army's attack, the Jin army on the city waved flags and cheered with thunderous cheers.
At noon, Xiahou Zongzhi, the governor of Henan Province, led his men to the top of the city carrying baskets of flour cakes. There was sufficient food stored in the city, and the soldiers who were usually hungry could eat enough.
Xiahou Zongzhi came to Yang Anxuan with a smile on his face, and looked down the city. The city was in a mess. The damaged chariots and anemone fell to the ground. Yao Chong sent people to rescue the injured Qin soldiers and collect the bodies...
When the Qin soldiers attacked the city, Xiahou Zongzhi hid in the city. From time to time, flying rocks fell over the city wall, which made Xiahou Zongzhi panic.
After finally waiting until the sound of drums and trumpets stopped, and the messengers reported that the Qin soldiers were temporarily retreating, Xiahou Zongzhi led his people to deliver food to the city.
"General Yang, do you think Jin Yong City can be defended?" Xia Houzong looked at Yang Anxuan eagerly and asked expectantly.
Yang Anxuan knew what he was thinking. He pointed at the soldiers beside him who were devouring their food and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prefect Xiahou. With these men here, there will be no problem in holding on for half a year."
Xiahou Zongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and murmured: "It doesn't take half a year. The second batch of reinforcements from Governor Xi will arrive in one month, and the Qin people will naturally relieve the siege and leave by then."
Zhang Feng came over with two pieces of cake and a bowl of soup. Xia Houzong said: "General Yang, you eat first, and you look around to express your condolences to the soldiers."
After firing the crossbow more than a dozen times, even with the help of his true energy, Yang Anxuan still felt soreness and numbness in his arms, and his hand holding the cake was trembling.
"Sir, you have shown great power today. I just heard that the soldiers admire you very much." Zhang Feng said with admiration.
Yang Anxuan took a bite of the cake and said with a smile: "Zhang Feng, it seems that I didn't ask you to study in vain. You can even show off your power. You are not bad today. You helped Yu kill the Qin general and let the scribe record your merit." "
Zhang Feng touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
Several people passed by Yang Anxuan carrying baskets of cooking cakes. Yang Anxuan saw that the old man in the ge robe looked familiar, and hesitantly asked: "But Doctor Tao?"
The old man stopped, wiped his sweat with the sleeves of his robe, looked at Yang Anxuan and said, "It's the old man. Does the general know the old man?"
Yang Anxuan handed the cake to Zhang Feng, bowed respectfully and said: "Doctor Tao don't know Yu, Yu is Yang Anxuan. It was Doctor Tao who saved Yu's life four years ago."
Tao Sheng came to his senses and said, "Oh, oh, you are Young Master Yang. Alas, after more than three years of separation, Young Master Yang has grown so tall that I can no longer recognize him."
I am very grateful to Dr. Tao Yang Anxuan. Time travel is a dangerous thing. Without Dr. Tao's medicine, there might be two souls in one body.
Inviting Dr. Tao to sit down, Yang Anxuan learned that Dr. Tao asked his family to flee the city because of his old father's old age, but he stayed to look after his wife and did not leave Luoyang City.
The prefect of Xiahou ordered to move to Jinyong City, and the people who had not left the city followed the army into Jinyong City. Doctor Tao was drafted into the army and did some chores such as boiling water, cooking, and feeding horses.
"Doctor Tao, you have excellent medical skills. There are many injured soldiers in the city who need your help." Yang Anxuan said, "I wonder if Dr. Tao would like to be a military doctor temporarily."
The military doctor was much better than the handyman. Tao Sheng stroked his beard and said happily: "Thank you, General Yang."
