Boom!
The deafening sound reverberated on the tower. Huang Quan had been awakened. He came out of the city and looked at the falling stones. His eyes were dignified and he kept directing the soldiers to retreat.
At this time, Huang Quan's heart speculated about the other party's purpose.
Could it be that we should first use stones and then attack the city.
Quren county is just a county magistrate, not a strategic place like Yufu County, so the city is not particularly tall.
Bombing a place with a catapult staring at it will have a great impact on the city.
WOW!
Sand and stones are constantly falling, leading to gaps in the city buildings.
At this time, because of the continuous bombing of the catapult, all the soldiers resting in the camp in the city couldn't sleep, only heard the sound of rumbling.
After a quarter of an hour, the bombing was finally over.
There was already a gap on the city tower, which was one foot wide and half a person high. It was smashed out by the catapult.
"Dong! Dong
The beating of drums resounded again.
The soldiers outside the city, however, launched an attack again and killed them on the tower.
As Huang Quan watched the Jingzhou soldiers approaching outside the city, he did not feel sleepy and ordered the soldiers to be ready. In a short time, the soldiers outside the city were close to the tower and began to attack the city.
However, the siege time is not long, less than a quarter of an hour after the fight, the Jingzhou soldiers had already left.
On the tower, the face of the yellow spring is serious.
Standing beside Huang Quan, the county magistrate said, "magistrate, there is always an army outside the city. It is estimated that there should not be too many people outside the city. My humble consideration is whether we should send an army out of the city to completely defeat each other. "
Huang Quan said, "the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. How do you know the soldiers outside the city are just a little harassed. If all this is Liu Xiu's calculation, we'll be waiting for us to get out of the city? "
After hearing this, the county magistrate was stunned and couldn't bring up the courage to leave the city.
Huang Quan said: "they are just harassing. Since the Jingzhou soldiers have retreated for the time being, they don't have to worry about it. Now, just focus on guarding the city. "
"No!"
The county magistrate was ordered to patrol the city.
That night, the army outside the city attacked the city from time to time, or attacked with a catapult from time to time, which made huangquan and its soldiers miserable.
The soldiers you garrison are few. The Jingzhou soldiers who attack the city tower will not retreat at all.
If you add more soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers will run away.
You have a rest. The catapults and drums are here again.
In short, Huang Quan and his soldiers did not have a good rest. They stayed up all night. In the morning, they were all exhausted.
At dawn, the faces of the soldiers finally relaxed.
They have clearly seen each other withdraw.
Standing beside the yellow spring, the county magistrate yawned and rubbed his tired cheek. He said, "magistrate, when will Qu Zheng change his guard?"
"Huang Quan said:" there is still a moment, wait for it, soon give them to guard
"Yes
The county magistrate looked forward to it, his face full of fatigue.
"Dong! Dong! "
All of a sudden, the battle drums resounded outside the city.
After this high pitched and powerful war drum sound came, in a flash, the soldiers on the city tower seemed to be conditioned reflex, and immediately made a response, ready to fight.
One by one, their eyes fell on the distant official road.
A black line, constantly squirming.
This line is getting closer and closer to the county.
After a short time, we can clearly see the situation outside the city. See the Jingzhou Army soldiers appear, quickly approaching the city building of Quren county.
Here comes Liu Xiu!
The garrison officers and soldiers saw the black army, as if they felt the pressure like a mountain and a sea.
It's not long. Liu Xiu and Chen Bing are out.
At this time, Qu Zheng had already taken the private soldiers of the major families to the city tower and quickly changed the guard. Qu Zheng looked at the bloody yellow spring and said, "magistrate Huang, give it to me now. Go down and have a rest."
Huang Quan waved his hand and said, "it's OK. I'm fine."
Now that Liu xiusha is here, Huang Quan doesn't want to sleep at all. Even if he is tired, he doesn't want to sleep. Now he can't sleep at all.
Huang Quan stared at the outside of the city, looking nervous.
Liu Xiu took charge of the central army, and the war was under the command of Wen pin and Xu Shu.
Wen pin and Xu Shu rode in front of him. He saw Wen pin's big sleeve flick and ordered, "Archer, prepare!"
With a single order, 2000 archers came out. All the archers approached the tower and stopped within a hundred paces. After the soldiers were arrayed, all the bows and arrows were bowed."Let it go
With a command, countless archers let go of their hands.
"Hum!"
The bow and the arrow are out of danger.
"Whew! Whew! Whew
The dense bows and arrows formed a sword rain, which quickly passed in the air.
Look into the sky, as if to see a burst of black raindrops falling quickly. In the blink of an eye, the bows and arrows had already fallen, and they fell on the city floor one after another. Such intensive and undifferentiated attacks caused great lethality and quickly killed many private soldiers of various families guarding the city tower.
A round of arrow rain, heavy losses.
Countless people fell to the ground and howled when they were hit by arrows.
"Whew! Whew! Whew
The second round of arrow rain, has been swept across the sky, quickly left an arc in the air, to the city upstairs.
Huang Quan was frightened by the real siege again. He roared: "prepare the shield, prepare the shield quickly." In the face of the attack of arrow rain, it is useless to rely on the soldiers to play with the weapons in their hands. In this case, the best effect is to use the shield to resist the attack of bow and arrow.
One after another, some soldiers took shields to resist, but Rao also suffered heavy losses in the arrow rain.
Ten rounds of arrow rain caused heavy losses to the garrison on the upper floor of the city.
It's just that up to now, the soldiers on the upper floor of the city have used shields to attack with bows and arrows, so the damage caused by bows and arrows has been greatly weakened, so wenpin ordered the soldiers to stop.
"Catapult, get ready!"
Wenpin once again gave the order.
As soon as I gave an order, I saw a lot of catapults being pushed out and standing a hundred feet away from the city. Jingzhou soldiers, who are responsible for throwing stones, quickly adjust the direction and choose the position.
There are more than 100 of these catapults.
The power of every catapult is unparalleled.
Half an hour later, all the catapults were in place and ready.
Wen pin ordered: "catapult, let go!"
In an instant, the catapults were thrown out one after another, and the stones swept across the sky, and the momentum was even more appalling. The mighty stone in the air, noisy city tower up and down, as if a meteorite from the sky in general, with speechless momentum, so that countless families of private soldiers scurrying around, constantly avoid the damage caused by the falling stone.
Stones are different from bows and arrows. Bows and arrows are light and can be blocked by shields.
However, at the moment when the stone fell, the soldiers couldn't stop it and could only keep avoiding it.
"Boom! Boom! "
Big stones fell, and the whole tower was covered with smoke and dust.
This moment, as if the whole tower is shaking in general, incomparable soul stirring, it is even more frightening.
"Here comes the catapult again!"
Suddenly, the second wheel of the catapult began to launch.
Compared with the chaos brought by the first round, the second round dropped the catapult, which immediately scattered all the defences on the city floor. One by one, the soldiers who were guarding the city only knew how to avoid the attack of stones, for fear that they would be hit.
Two rounds of catapult attack, the castle has been pitted, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, many people fell to the ground wailing.
Xu Shu stood beside Wen pin and said, "general Wen, our stone storage capacity is only for three rounds of attacks. Now we have two rounds. We can almost stop and attack the city. "
Wen pin nodded and said, "the military adviser has a point. It's time to attack the city."
"Attack the city!"
Wenpin ordered the flag to shake, and his army began to rush to the tower.
The real fight in the city has just begun.
