Vol 2 Chapter 388: Qin Jun throws a stone to attack Shouchun

Shouchun, early morning, Mao.
The sound of a low and powerful horn came from the Qin army camp outside the city of Shouchun. The sharp whistle sounded together, accompanied by the roar of the teams and the sergeants running around, the boots The sound of stepping on the ground, the sound of the fine drum horns and the clapper sound became a whole, the whole earth was trembling slightly, even at the gate of the city wall, the dust and dirt, as if shocked by these loud noises, had separated from the original Above the battlements, the city fell.
Liu Yu was wearing a armor, a beast with a beast on his chest, and slowly walked out of the tower. More than ten shield guards were tightly guarding his side, and the two eleven and twelve-year-old boys, the corners of the mouth were just long. Out of some fine fluff, the figure is similar to Liu Yu's six or seven points, it is Liu Yu's two new apprentices Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi.
Today, it was these two Zhu family teenagers who, for the first time, followed Liu Yu, a newly recognized master, in battle, but it was such an important battle to defend the city.
Liu Yu looked out of the city and was lining up. The dense Qin Jun, like the dark clouds, ticked the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Sure enough, Xuan Shuai said it was good. Today, Qin Jun is desperately attacking the city, the most critical A wave of offensive. Ling Shi, Chao Shi, you have been reading soldiers' books all these years, what do you think of the situation outside the city? "
Zhu Lingshi hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Liang Cheng seems to have personally attacked the city. His handsome flag has been listed in the Chinese army formation, and his general should be Liang Cheng. This time Beicheng is their main direction of attack. Should we sue General Xu and let him sit here in person? "
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "Brother, are we so ambitious? Isn't Liang Cheng attacking the North City? Can't Master be able to hold it? I think this happens to be a good opportunity for our Zhu family brothers to make contributions. Master, ours My father, but the general of the Jin Dynasty, when we are of this generation, we must serve our country faithfully and make great contributions, so as not to lose the name of the general of our Zhu family. "
Liu Yu waved his hand: "This is useless, you are still too young, have not been in battle, this general is not necessarily Liang Liangren, just like last year's battle in Xiangyang, Liang Cheng let his younger brother Liang Yun wear his armor Even the battle horses are dyed in the same color, which is confusing to us. This time it is not Liang Cuiren who is really difficult to say. But you are right, where is Liang Cheng, where is the main focus of their Qin army? . "
Speaking of which, Liu Yu's face was dignified, pointing at the opposite side, and no less than 50,000 troops said: "Since Qin's invasion of South China, the counties and counties have reinforced their troops. Thousands of them have been fighting each day. When it was dispatched, it was only about 300,000, but now it is no less than 500,000. Just in the direction of the north gate, it is such a large army. "
"The terrain between the east and the west is not conducive to the development of the army, and I am unlikely to be the direction of Di Qin's main attack. Therefore, Liang Cheng is either here or in Nancheng, and General Xu is sitting in Nancheng personally, then here, it is entirely up to me Responsible. Regardless of whether Liang Cheng is here, we must guard the north gate and not let a Qin soldier enter. "
Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi said in unison: "Nuo."
Liu Yu's brow gradually wrinkled, and his eyes fell on the soldier Qin who was pushing a large number of catapults forward, saying: "It seems that Qin Jun is going to use a large number of long-range weapons to destroy our city first. The defensive weapon used to cover the impact of the infantry. According to my command, only two hundred people will be kept under surveillance at the head of the city. All the defensive crossbow arrows are hidden and they are not allowed to fire. Waiting for my order. "
"Lingshi, Chaoshi, you are leading the horses to the city, seeing the flag of my city, and acting according to ours these days. What kind of flag do I raise, what kind of support do you provide, do you understand?"
Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi looked at each other and said in unison: "Master, you are the coach. It is dangerous here. Please come down to the city."
Liu Yu shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, just because I am the coach, here I must see the enemy's movements with my own eyes. Come on, remember, listen to my orders!"
When a large number of city head guards followed behind Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi and went down the city wall, Liu Yu slowly put on his silver face. After the ghost face, a pair of gleaming eyes looked at five miles away. Qin army large array.
More than one hundred trebuchets have been put in place and placed about 400 steps away from the city wall. More than 2,000 sergeants stood behind these trebuchets, and countless stones were loaded on the pallets. Placed on the side of these catapults, all the nests above the arms have been placed with stones ranging from a few pounds to more than ten pounds. Just waiting for a command, they will be sent together.
Liu Yu sneered: "Still old, do you think that relying on these catapults can break the Shouchun City Wall? Daydreaming! Cloth!"
A rapid horn sounded at the head of the North City, and there were three consecutive sounds. From the ledge of the female wall, hundreds of long bamboo poles stretched out, six or seven feet long, each of which was On the top, there is a cloth with a length of one foot, three or four layers thick, which looks like a few thick quilts. ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ The whole city wall and the mouth of the north city are tightly covered. Among this quilt.
There was a rapid clatter of clappers in the Qin army position, and a thunderous cheer erupted from more than 50,000 troops: "Wind, wind, wind!"
Almost at the same time, the arms of more than one hundred catapults hung down heavily. With the sergeants who pulled the front arm, with the help of the chanting horn, the countless flying stones were overwhelming. , Directly hit the city wall of Shouchun in the distance.
The sound of "popping" is endless, like the sound of defeat in heavy boxing. Ninety percent of the stones directly hit these cloths, removing most of the power, and finally waiting to hit At the time of the city wall, it was already soft and weak, but just a few layers of dirt on the wall, it fell down, and many stones rolled into the moat about three feet outside the city. The sound of "slamming" was endless. There were bursts of water.
Occasionally, a few stones crossed these fabrics and smashed into the head of Shouchun City. Some buildings and arrow towers were hit. Several sentry towers collapsed suddenly. There were more than ten such thick cloths, along with these stones. The landing with the castle tower was brought to the ground, but soon a new bamboo pole with a cloth hanging out from behind, the bombardment continued for more than a dozen rounds, and the stones under Shouchun City were all half a foot high, and The thick cloth layer still wrapped the entire wall perfectly, without even revealing the wall at all.
