Shouchun, north gate, city head.
Liu Yu was still sitting on the bed in front of the city tower, with a pair of sparkling eyes behind the mask. More than twenty guards holding iron shields stood in front of him, forming a formation under his eyes. A shield wall composed of iron shields did not block his view.
Five hundred steps away, the crossbows were roaring and shooting. Rows of flying spears penetrated into the city wall like raindrops. Almost every time a flying spear hit the city wall, there would be a slight sound. The ground shook, and the floating ashes on the corners of the tower above, as well as the soil that had been smeared on the pillars in the past few days, were also falling slightly.
Of course, these loud sounds were completely drowned in the huge roar and could not be heard at all.
Finally, the roar of the crossbow came to an end, the catapult's arm fell, and the sound of flying stones whizzing in again sounded. Soon, the sound of flying stones hitting the curtains was everywhere outside the city, "Puff." , like a defeat, followed immediately by the sound of splashing water as the boulders kept falling into the moat.
Zhu Lingshi's voice sounded from the corridor on one side: "Master, Master, I'm here."
Liu Yu frowned slightly and turned to look at Zhu Lingshi, who was sweating profusely as he rushed up to the city. He said in a deep voice: "Lingshi, what are you doing? I told you to guard the city and listen to my orders." , what are you doing running up to the city?"
Zhu Lingshi stuck out his tongue: "Master, Chao Shi is guarding under the city. It's okay. We just heard something wrong at the top of the city. The walls were shaking. We were all worried. I just came up to take a look. No matter what After all, if Master were with me, there would be more errand boys."
Liu Yu sighed: "Your art of war has been read into the dog's belly. Don't you know that this military has strict discipline and is not allowed to leave the post without permission? If it were a field battle, I could kill you right now."
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "Okay, Master, isn't this a field battle? I am also following General Xu's order. Seeing that there has been no movement at the top of your city for a long time, I came up to take a look. Besides, didn't you promise us , will you teach us the art of battle formation during the war? If I am inside this city wall, how can I learn how to defend the city? "
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly: "You boy, you are so smooth-talking. I don't think you can be a general in the future. It would be better to be a civil servant. Well, since you are already here, I won't say anything. But, just this time, Unless this happens next time, if I leave my post without permission again, I will have no choice but to engage in military law."
Zhu Lingshi laughed: "I know that Master is most concerned about brotherhood."
While he was talking, suddenly, there was a "Woo" sound, and a flying stone the size of a watermelon flew over Zhu Lingshi's head at a height of about ten feet. With a strong whistling sound, it fell far into the city wall. , after a few seconds, only a "bang" sound was heard, accompanied by a burst of exclamation from behind.
Zhu Lingshi's expression changed and he asked curiously: "How did this stone hit so far?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "The attack distance of these catapults is random. Sometimes, if the force arm is pulled extremely quickly and powerfully, it will hit the city wall at a distance of 600 steps, like this stone. However, Generally speaking, most of the flying rocks can only hit the city wall. We have these curtains to resist them, which can effectively remove the incoming force of most of the flying rocks and protect our city wall."
Zhu Lingshi nodded: "I see, what are those weapons that made the city wall shake just now? It's not this kind of flying rocks, right?"
Liu Yu waved his hand, pointed at the city wall in front of him, and said, "Lao Dao, you'll know just by looking at the top of the city wall."
Zhu Lingshi stuck his head out and walked out of the crenel outside the female wall. His expression suddenly changed, because on this city wall, there were hundreds of flying branches of different sizes inserted deep into the wall. It was half a foot long. He pulled back and stuck out his tongue: "What kind of weapon is this? Can it penetrate the city wall?"
Liu Yu pointed at the twenty bed crossbows five hundred steps away on the opposite side, which were being hurriedly raised by the crossbowmen, and said: "This is the thing. I heard Marshal Xuan say that it is called a bed crossbow. "
Zhu Lingshi's expression changed, and when he was about to speak, he heard a horn sound from the opposite side. Dozens of strong men holding giant hammers swung the giant hammer fiercely, and the sound of the mechanism being hit, "click, click, click, click" ", could be heard endlessly, and countless flying sticks were flying all over the sky, flying directly towards the top of the city.
Sounds like "boom" and "pop" can be heard endlessly. The sharp whistle of the flying boats flying across the sky is like the launch of missiles in later generations, or the air defense siren. It shakes people's internal organs and makes many flying boats hit. Hitting the crenellations of the city wall, the city head stones, which weighed dozens of kilograms, were broken into pieces. Together with these flying sticks, they fell heavily down the city wall. It took a long time before the sound of landing was heard.
A long black tree flew straight towards the position of Zhu Lingshi and Liu Yu. Several sergeants shouted: "Master Liu, be careful!" Before they finished speaking, they flew in front of Liu Yu and used The body and iron shield tightly blocked the Liu Yu brothers.
Zhu Lingshi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hugged his head and crouched down quickly. He only heard a "Peng" sound, which was the sound of a flying spear hitting the iron shield hard. A guard standing in front of him held the The iron shield was hit hard by this blow, and with a scream, the whole person flew up and hit the beams of the tower behind.
He just heard a strange "click" sound, as if his back bone was broken. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. He was unconscious. Several squatting soldiers on one side quickly picked him up and ran down quickly. The city wall.
A burst of dust fell everywhere. It was the floating ashes on the city tower. It was shaken violently by the impact, which made Liu Yu and the more than ten guards around him look dusty, but they all remained intact. The posture of sitting upright or squatting is like a clay wood sculpture, without even moving.
Liu Yu sighed, stretched out his hand, patted the floating ash on Zhu Lingshi's forehead and head, and said calmly: "Lingshi, as a general, you need to have Mount Tai collapse in front of you without changing your expression. On the battlefield, The arrows and rocks are flying all over the place, and you can't stand even one flying blow. How can you sit here and stabilize the morale of the army? If this blow is destined to take your life, you can't escape it even if you hide in the deep palace."
Zhu Lingshi's face turned red, he stood up and said loudly: "Master taught me that I am timid. From now on, even if I put a hole through a hole, I will never move." Flying sticks kept flying over his head and around him, but Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth and stood firm, motionless.
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "This is our Dajin man. Brothers, everyone must hold on tightly, stay still, and prepare to welcome the enemy's infantry to attack the city!"
