The ant soldiers of Wuyang and Wuyang besieged the city on all sides.
Groups of wandering thieves were working endlessly in the dense forest south of the city, either in teams of two or three. The thieves, old and young, slowly piled big-headed stones outside the city wall, and dozens of catapults lined up under the city.
Jushou stood on the city wall, silently watching what happened to the thieves outside the city, his heart felt cold.
Yesterday, I asked people to call over the principals of various aristocratic families in the city, hoping to take the opportunity to control some power in Guangchang County. However, I still thought of them simply. Guangchang City is located in the Taihang Mountains. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It has been managed by generations of people. Everything in Guangchang has long been regarded as forbidden by others and is under their control. As an outsider, how can it be so easy to take back the power? ?
Later, for the sake of his wife and children, he had no choice but to lower his body and inquire about the city's defense arrangements. They basically did everything.
In this way, the rest can only depend on the offense and defense of both sides. I hope the thieves are not as strong as they say!
"County Lord, it seems that the thieves are making preparations. If nothing unexpected happens, they should launch a large-scale attack tomorrow. What do you think, County Lord?" Gao Lin looked at the formation of the thieves outside the city. He was worried and couldn't help but ask Ju Shou Ju Gong. Da.
"Gao Gong, Chen Gong, Zhang Gong, the matter is obvious. The thieves are surrounding three but one is missing. Let us go out of the city and look for opportunities to annihilate them. I hope that everyone will work together and not be deceived by the enemy." Jushou expressed his views directly, At this time, there is no need to hide anything private.
as expected!
Gao Lin verified his opinion from Jushu's mouth, and he felt even heavier looking at the racks of catapults.
"My lords, the thief did it so obviously without any cover-up. It is obviously a conspiracy and it was done for us to see. I dare to say that those who leave the city will perish. The only way to survive is to defend. I have sent people to Yi County, Yu County and Lingqiu asked for help. I believe they will not sit idly by. We only need to defend Guangchang for a few days. When the reinforcements arrive, it will be the time when the thief will be beheaded." The heart is heavy and heavy. The county town must still be defended. Gao Lin will not forget it. I always encourage people from these aristocratic families.
Jushou listened to Gao Lin's words with mixed feelings in his heart.
These words should have been spoken by me, the county king, but now, an outsider is giving orders here. I am ashamed, really ashamed.
After hearing Gao Lin's words and looking at the thieves outside the city, the eyes of the heads of the aristocratic families on the city wall flickered. They were all making their own calculations in their hearts...
The siege ladders were prepared one by one and arranged neatly in front of the team!
The stones were moved one by one and piled up beside the catapult to form a hill!
Two to three hundred cavalry soldiers circled the city endlessly, and the sound of their hooves shook the sky; three to two thousand ant soldiers shouted endlessly, and their sound shook the sky.
During the day, the thieves outside the city were busy; at night, the thieves outside the city were on fire.
People in Guangchang City were panicked.
Gao Lin Jushou and others knew well that the number of thieves, old and weak, was only five or six thousand. However, a large number of people did not know how many thieves there were. Judging from their formation and their voices, it seemed that there were thousands of troops.
day after day.
In two days, the preparations for the siege were basically ready.
The sun rises and shines brightly.
Today's thieves have no shouts or hoofs.
As everyone knows, the siege is today.
The servants hid behind the female wall, waiting for the war drums of the thieves to attack the city; the common people hid in thatched houses, praying that the stones of the siege would not fall on their heads.
Boom...dong-dong-dong...
The drums of the siege finally sounded, and the servants were shocked. The bold servants carefully poked half their heads out from behind the female wall and looked down at the city. They saw that the catapults were already surrounded. After catching the ants, with the creaking sound of the wooden frame grinding, the throwing rack was tightened, and stones were placed on the throwing rack one by one.
It's time for the attack to begin, it's really time to begin!
Duang…DuangDuang…
The servants who saw this situation hurriedly put their heads back behind the parapet, and the stones that followed had already smashed down the city head.
Round after round!
The stones that whizzed past either fell down the city walls or flew over the city walls and fell into the city.
The throwing rod fluctuates and rocks rain down!
well……
Zhang Sheng looked at the effect of the catapult and sighed. The effect was still much worse. To be honest, it was only a little bit of a deterrent, but it was of little use when actually attacking the city.
Without it, the stone is too small.
As for the city wall in front of us, if we really rely on these catapults to break it down, we can't even think about it for thirty or fifty days...
Gao Lin, who took the risk to hide behind the parapet to watch the battle, felt relieved when he saw the stone falling on a dent in the city wall. Fortunately, with such an attack on the city, there would still be a fight.
The thieves are overestimating their own abilities. Isn't it just a daydream if they want to collapse a city wall more than ten feet thick with such a small stone?
Jushou watched a large number of stones falling from the city wall and into the spray of water from the moat. His brows slowly wrinkled. Then, he carefully observed the arrangement of the catapults and the landing points of the stones. , my heart jumped inexplicably.
No, something is wrong!
It is a lie that the thieves used catapults to attack the city, but it is true that they filled the trenches and built roads. They wanted to fill the trenches under the city wall with stones and build a channel for siege.
Even if it takes three to five days to fill up the three-foot-high city wall, even if the ditch is filled in, there will still be piles of stones one or two feet high under the city wall. What if it takes more time? How high can the three-foot-high city wall remain?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Jushou's back. Looking at the endless teams of bandit soldiers transporting stones around, he felt confused.
Send troops. Only by sending troops inside the city and destroying these catapults can we stop the thieves' conspiracy...
"Brother, the thieves have overestimated the power of this thing. If they continue to attack like this, wouldn't they be hitting stones with eggs, and they are also constantly sending defensive stones to the opponent?" Zhao Yun looked at the dozens of catapults that were firing endlessly, and then looked at Seeing the sparse stones flying up to the top of the city, my face was filled with joy.
Thief Zhang was finally going to be defeated in Guangchang City. How could he not be happy?
Yes, attacking the city like this is a waste of effort. Why did Zhang Thief do this?
Zhao Feng listened to his younger brother's words and looked at the endlessly launching catapults. He also felt that attacking the city like this was too much of a child's play. However, based on his understanding of Zhang Sheng's thief, Zhang thief should be able to see such a simple effect. Why didn't he stop? Even if we stop temporarily and move the catapults and stone piles forward, at least there will be more stones flying up to the top of the city, and maybe more guards will be injured. Now, these stones Most of the blocks fell on the city wall and rolled down the city. He didn't really want to use this power to collapse the city wall, right?
I can’t figure it out, Zhao Feng really can’t figure it out…
