Tai Shici heard General Yang's call on the city. When looking up to the city. But Liu Bang could not be found everywhere. Can not help being shocked. He had promised Jushou to find an opportunity to shoot Liu Bang. Now Liu Bang has disappeared. And he was soft-handed for a while. As a result, the opportunity was missed. It's too late to regret.
Zhang Fei did not pay much attention. He showed off with a strong bow. Then he turned to Zhang Xi and said, "Fourth old man. Let's use your trebuchet."
Zhang Chen was taken aback. He asked vigilantly: "What are you going to do with the trebuchet."
Zhang Fei said without hesitation: "What else can I do. Throw stones. Siege the city."
Zhang Xi was taken aback. Resolutely said: "No. The eldest son is still in their hands. If there are three long and two short. How do you and I explain to the eldest brother."
Zhang Fei said angrily, "If it weren't for the trebuchet in our army. Otherwise, who would beg you. I want my eldest brother to be such a hero. Liu Bang is a pustule. What qualifications is there to be the eldest brother's son? My old Zhang is the first to look down upon He. The fourth child. To tell you the truth. Even if there is no trebuchet, I can take down Lujiang City as well as Zhang. But then, the casualties of the soldiers will inevitably increase. I am afraid that you and I will not escape the punishment of the big brother. Don't worry. If it is shot down. It’s Lujiang City. I will give you some credit."
The trebuchet is an important siege weapon. In addition to the sixth army of pure cavalry. The rest of the major corps are equipped. It's just that Zhang Fei came here by climbing the Great Bieshan. Naturally it is impossible to carry such large equipment. But without a trebuchet, it is not impossible to siege. After Zhang Fei captured Yulou. They organized the soldiers to rush to manufacture some simple siege equipment. The soldiers of the Second Legion are well-trained. With these equipment, Lujiang City can be captured. You don’t have to rely on trebuchets.
Zhang Fei originally wanted to take the big credit alone. But after seeing Liu Bang. He suddenly changed his mind. To borrow a trebuchet from Zhang Xi. Thus. The main credit for conquering Lujiang City was still his. But Zhang Xi also dragged down the water. The so-called law does not blame the public. In case Liu Bang was killed by Yuan Shu. Zhang Xi couldn't get rid of the relationship either.
Zhang Xi has a big head now. Others call this bearded guy reckless. But now Zhang Chen knows. It turns out that this guy is better than a ghost. Lend him the trebuchet. Then I got on his thief ship. Don't lend him the trebuchet. He also wanted to attack the city in this posture. If it caused a large number of casualties. But he couldn't explain it to Liu Xin.
Zhang Fei saw Zhang Xi's eyebrows furrowed. Unconsciously laughed and said: "Old fourth. Don't be mother-in-law. Let's try it. If Yuan Shu really dared to kill the eldest son. Let's smash him into pieces. Take revenge for the eldest son. My old Zhang is a quick-witted man. . You won’t agree. I’m going to order the siege."
Zhang Xi gritted his teeth. He said fiercely: "Come here. Call the trebuchet over."
to be frank. For Liu Bang's cowardly performance in the city. Zhang Xi was also very displeased. That's why there are a few sentences in the report to Liu Xin. Jushou also noticed that Liu Xin had finished reading these few words. The expression on his face hasn't changed at all. He just aroused alarm. I was determined to get rid of Liu Bang. Now this piece of industry belongs to Liu Xin. But Jushou also put a lot of effort into them. Jushou didn't want this great river to fall into the hands of a mediocre "successor". Jushou didn't know. Liu Bang is not Liu Xin's biological son. What is his performance. Liu Xin naturally wouldn't take it to heart. Also because I can't understand Liu Bang's performance. Zhang Xi only agreed to borrow a trebuchet for Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei laughed. He patted Zhang Xi on the shoulder and said, "This is my old Zhang's good brother. The general order is passed on. The bow and crossbow are in line."
Regardless of why Zhang Xi agreed to borrow the trebuchet for him. All he needed was a promise from Zhang Yun. right now. He can't wait for the arrival of the trebuchet. He wants to take advantage of the powerful crossbow. Give Yuan Shu a good start.
in fact. That arrow from Tai Shi Ci should be regarded as disarming. It's just that Zhang Fei doesn't think so. Yuan Shu threatened him not to shoot another arrow. Then he will release another thousand arrows. Show 10,000 arrows to Yuan Shu. This is the performance that General Zhang Yide, who took the first rank in the Wanma Army, should have.
Yuan Shu was drinking tea in the tower and breathing. Suddenly I heard the sound of drums outside the city. Can't help but jump up. Asked loudly: "What happened?"
The cronies on both sides have not had time to answer. I can only hear the sound of "swish". Accompanied by the screams of the defending sergeant. Half a day's work. Only one soldier rushed in. He stammered and said: "Your Majesty Enlightenment. The big thing is not good. The rebels outside the city have begun to attack the city."
Yuan Shu furiously said: "Hurry up and organize a counterattack. Shoot them to death."
At this time. Zhang Xun rushed in. Said: "Your Majesty Enlightenment. The Han army's bows and crossbows are too powerful. Our bows and arrows can't reach them. But they were shot dead and wounded many brothers. Please take refuge for a while."
Yuan Shu couldn't help being furious. Roared at Zhang Xun: "What. They really dare to shoot arrows. Go. Go quickly. Throw Liu Bang down the city for me."
General Yang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty. Never. If Liu Bang is killed, the Han army will be even more unscrupulous. Weichen thought. It is better to tie him to the city gate. Look at who else the Han army dares to mess up. ."
Zhang Xun sneered: "Although Mrs. Yang is right. But Liu Bang's child is clearly at the head of the city. The Han army is not correct. It can be seen that the Han army did not treat him as the same thing. Your Majesty. Weichen thought. Still. Hurry up and enlist the civil servants to go to town."
Yuan Shu always thought that Liu Bang was in hand. You can sit back and relax. Although the Han army was near the city. The city's defense is very lax. Even Min Zhuang did not recruit.
Dajiang Yang hid in the tower with Yuan Shu. I don’t know much about the current situation in the city. He hesitated a bit after hearing what Zhang Xun said. Frowning and said: "General Zhang. You can see it very clearly. Then Liu Bang and they put arrows on the top of the city as usual. Could it be Liu Bang who hid behind the battlements? Oh, no."
Yuan Shu said displeased: "Yang Aiqing. Why is it shocked."
General Yang arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty. The Weichen thought of a possibility. The Han army under the city fired all the arrows. Even if Liu Bang was shot to death, it would be difficult to find out who made the move. At that time, the main general under the city can completely pull someone at will. Come out as a scapegoat..."
The situation is critical. How can Yuan Shu have time to listen to General Yang's slow analysis and reasoning here. "Slap" slapped a few cases in front of him fiercely. Said loudly: "Quickly. Go and drag Liu Bang in for me."
Zhang Xun turned around and hurried out. After a while, he got into the tower again. He folded his hands and said: "Your Majesty. It's not good. Liu Bang is gone."
"It's gone." Yuan Shu "Huo" stood up. Roared. "What are you talking about. Liu Bang is gone. Where did you go? Where is Liu Bei. Didn't he say he will take care of Liu Bang. Go. Call Liu Bei in."
Zhang Xun hesitated. He leaned back and said: "Your Majesty. Weichen has searched around just now. I haven't seen Liu Bei."
"What." Yuan Shu was really panicked. Even the soundtrack. "Quickly. Dispatch troops to search the city. Be sure to capture Liu Bei and Liu Bang back. This Liu Bei is really bold. He dares to betray me at this time. If I catch him, I will never be merciless."
The Han army fired a volley of crossbows. Obviously, he was preparing to attack the city. On this knot. Yuan Shu didn't want to defend. But he was busy capturing Liu Bei and Liu Bang. Zhang Xun couldn't help but be full of black lines. Just about to persuade again. Suddenly heard a loud "boom". The city gate shook abruptly. Then a lot of dust came down "pumping". All the people here have become disgraced.
Yuan Shugang wanted to ask what happened. But he heard loud noises one after another. The whole city gate is full of mist and mist. There was also a fist-thick opening in the wall. Yuan Shu was surprised by this. I don't care about knowing what happened. It didn't even bother to search for Liu Bei and Liu Bang. Hurriedly took Yang Da back to the city from the tower.
Shocked. But Zhang Xun chased him. He folded his hands and said: "Your Majesty. The Weichen has already figured it out. The Han army outside the city used a new type of equipment to throw a lot of stones into the city. It caused such a big movement."
Although Yuan Shu didn't believe it. But from where he stood, he could still see the big and small rocks flying towards the city. Yuan Shu couldn't help being stunned. This can only be passively beaten. How to fight a battle without the slightest chance of counterattack.
It hasn't waited for him to recover. Just listened to another loud "bang". The brick-wood structure of the city gate was finally overwhelmed by waves of stone rain. Collapsed suddenly. Many soldiers who were too late to escape were immediately buried in the rubble.
suddenly. The stone rain outside the city stopped. Instead, the drums of "dong dong dong" sounded. The soldiers of the Han army rushed towards Lujiang City shouting. Long ladders were erected on the moat. The soldiers of the Han army rushed past the long ladder. As if walking on the ground. Immediately afterwards. Another long ladder was erected. Leaning against the wall of Lujiang City. The training base in the western suburbs of Xiangyang. Siege training like this. They don't know how many times it has been done. I've long been familiar with it. All movements are done subconsciously.
On the long ladder. The soldiers of the Han army went forward and succeeded. Arrows continue to fall. People kept climbing up again. By the moat. The crossbowmen were desperately shooting arrows at the city head. Suppress the defenders of the city. Covering the soldiers in climbing city.
The arrow rain and the stone rain just now. Let the garrison at the head of the city be in chaos early. but. Those who stayed at Lujiang were the most elite troops under Yuan Shu. When the trebuchet stopped attacking. These defenders quickly reacted. Quickly put into the various outposts on the head of the city. Start to organize a counterattack. Yuan Jun's crossbowmen were busy shooting at the city. Rolling logs and rubbing stones do not live to push down from the city. This tragic siege was fought until sunset Xishan. The Han army rushed to the head of the city several times. But soon retreated under Yuan Jun's counterattack.
Seeing that it will be late. Zhang Xi frowned and said, "Brother San. Let the brethren rest for a while. Let's fight again tomorrow."
Zhang Fei said flatly: "No. Tonight, we must take Lujiang. Come here. Light a torch. Bring drumsticks."
