Chapter [336] Cao Liu Can't Stand It Anymore
Braving the flying rocks all over the sky, some soldiers of the Cao Liu coalition army returned to the city, and then went to the granary to rescue food.
And the attack of the Qin army will not stop here, the trebuchets are still bombing, and some of the parapets at the top of the city have been cracked. If this continues, the parapets will collapse sooner or later. It is inevitable.
The female wall is a wall above the city head, which can reach the height of a person's chest, similar to the function of a guardrail.
Covered by the parapet, the defenders stood at the head of the city, with only their shoulders and heads exposed.
But once the female wall is lost, the Qin army outside the city can see the defenders from head to toe when they look at the top of the city.
Ma Jun made a burst of catapults with a very fast attack frequency. Compared with the bed crossbow, the firing interval is longer. The crossbow guns need to be placed on the track one by one, and then the bed crossbow is wound. This process is very difficult. time consuming.
But it doesn't matter, thick smoke is already rising in the city of Xu County at this time, and a fire is inevitable.
An hour later, the soldiers who launched the trebuchets at the front withdrew, returned to the camp to keep warm, and then another group of people went up to continue launching.
With an army of 300,000, such alternate launches can ensure that the catapults can be launched continuously at ten to two hours a day.
Once there is a long-term continuous launch and some of the catapults are damaged, the military industrial battalion and the craftsmen who will be in charge will go to repair them as soon as possible to ensure that the catapults continue to operate.
Not only that, the craftsmen of the military industrial battalion and the general supervisor also created Xu Medical Army.
Once the catapult is seriously damaged and has no value for maintenance, it will be dismantled directly and replaced with a brand new catapult.
The bombardment of the catapult continued until the evening, and Qin Jun watched the excitement with a rice bowl, pointing at Xu County.
After they are full, a group of people will go up again, and the frontline people will come down to eat.
Lu Bu watched the battle all day, and felt a little boring at night, so he ordered: "Send people up to make a feint attack."
"Here."
A quarter of an hour later, a wave of Qin soldiers started to charge Xu County with torches and ladders.
"Kill!!!"
The loud shouts of killing immediately aroused the vigilance of Xu County City Chief.
"The Qin army is going to attack the city by force, prepare to defend against the enemy quickly." Cao Cao ordered hoarsely.
The defenders had been hit by flying stones for a whole day, and they were all languid and lifeless at the moment.
But after all, it was the first day of the war, and the Cao-Liu coalition army would not just collapse like this, so we must be strong and ready to shoot the enemy with bows and arrows. As for the rolling stones and Torreya trees, there is no need to worry. .
However, just as the defenders were concentrating and were about to fight the Qin army with real swords and guns, the Qin army under the city carried the ladder and turned around, but they didn't enter the range of the bow and arrow, so they turned their heads and returned to the camp.
"Shameless villain!" Liu Bei couldn't help yelling.
However, what responded to Liu Bei was the flying stones launched by the catapult, and another wave of flying stones fell. Since the defenders were in the state of defending against the enemy, they all came out from under the female wall. This time, the flying stones hit a solid, instant The casualties were heavy.
Zhuge Liang showed a worried look on his face. The Qin army played too cunningly. If it is false, it will be true, and if it is true, it will be false.
When he came to pretend to attack, he saw that the defenders were waiting in formation, so he turned his head and left without delay.
After the defenders were tricked out, they immediately attacked with trebuchets.
But if the defenders don't wait in full force, but continue to hide behind the female wall, they can indeed avoid flying stones.
But the Qin army can also change a feint attack into a strong attack at any time. Since the defenders don't defend, they can directly set up the ladder and start climbing the city.
The rule is to attack with flying stones, and to avoid it is to climb the city with ladders. Anyway, the Qin army has plenty of sons.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Bu didn't intend to stay any longer, and began to assign tasks to his generals.
"Wen Yuan, in charge of the east city wall of Xu County."
"Ziyi, in charge of the north city wall of Xu County."
"Wen Sheng, in charge of the west city wall of Xu County."
"Maximum, in charge of the southern city wall of Xu County.
The four generals under his command are each responsible for the offensive of a city wall, and Lu Bu is directly in charge of the shopkeeper. Anyway, there is no technical content in such things as siege.
"Master, what about me?" Pang De was unhappy, disgusted that Lu Bu did not arrange tasks for him.
"You bring the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, and you are responsible for the feint attack to scare the opponent. You can launch a feint attack at any time on the four walls." Lu Bu arranged a tricky job for the silly apprentice.
"Okay, disciples promise to torture them to death!" Pound smirked.
"Xiaozhi, Dezu, Zhongda, Boyan, each of you four assists a general, and you unite yourself.
0…ask for flowers…………
The four looked at each other, and then each looked for a cooperating general.
Lu Xun only knew Gao Shun, so he naturally stood by Gao Shun's side.
Fazheng has been working with Zhang Liao all along, and the cooperation between the two is also very pleasant.
Yang Xiu found Xu Rong, one of them was in Hulao Pass and the other was in Luoyang, and they often dealt with each other.
Sima Yi found Hua Xiong, after all, he had cooperated in the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan and Liaodong.
"Come on, I'll leave it to you on the front line, and Gu will go back to Luoyang first. Lu Bu got up and half-truthfully said: "Such a big advantage, if you lose to Gu, Gu will be relentless!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"If I lose, I don't need the king to do anything, I will hang myself directly."
"Your Majesty, wait for the good news."
All of a sudden, everyone promised that they would definitely win Xu County.
"That's good." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he left the military tent.
All the generals came to see them off outside the tent one after another, Lu Bu waved to them to go back, and then rode on the red rabbit and headed towards Luoyang.
Xu County is only three hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it takes an hour and a half to return to Luoyang with Chitu's foot strength.
Compared to lying on a hard bed in the military camp, Lu Bu would rather ride a horse for an hour and a half, and return to Luoyang to sleep with his beautiful wife and concubine in his arms.
Compared with Lu Bu's, the situation of Cao Cao and Liu Bei is simply indescribable.
After eating the unbearable rations, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and two other counselors crowded into a city gate to rest.
The city is still on fire. This kind of city-wide fire will definitely not be extinguished within a few days, and it will definitely be impossible to live in the city.
The trebuchets outside the city were still bombarding, and the city head was also a dangerous area.
After looking around, only the city gate is the safest place. You don't have to worry about being killed by flying stones, and you don't have to worry about the fire burning here.
Lying on the hard bed, the roaring sound continued to be heard in the ears, and both Cao and Liu were feeling cold in their hearts.
"Meng De, can we stand it?" Liu Bei asked softly.
"I can stand it." Cao Cao said without hesitation.
"Can you stand it?" Liu Bei asked back.
"Can't stand wow..."
The short conversation ended quickly, but it contained endless helplessness.
Everyone knows that they can't stand it... mouth.
