Liu Mang also went to rest. He didn't know how much he would touch these soldiers by letting these black chess soldiers eat hot food and sleep on the tower. The way they looked at Liu Mang no longer had that strange feeling. A day ago , they may only be because of Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng is their leader, they helped Liu Mang guard Wancheng, but now it is different, they look at Liu Mang with so firm eyes, this kind of eyes only I have seen it from the urban management army, it is the kind of incomparable loyalty. .
These black chess troops already regarded themselves as members of Liu Mang's army in Wancheng. Once a person has a sense of belonging, it is terrible, just like what is Lu Bujun's military spirit! That is Lu Bu personally, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry camp worships Lu Bu to a certain extent. As long as Lu Bu is there, even if they fight to the last, they will never retreat.
Even the generals who betrayed Lu Bu in Song Xianwei Xu finally gave their hearts to Lu Bu again, and finally paid for their mistakes with their lives.
At dawn the next day, before Liu Mang put on his armor, Huang Zhong hurriedly dragged him up the city wall. As soon as he climbed the city wall, Liu Mang gasped. He finally knew why Sun Ce retreated yesterday. Letting Wancheng go is not a show of mercy but a real strategy. Today he wants to kill all the soldiers guarding Wancheng.
One night, four tall buildings were erected in Sun Cejun's camp. Each of them was tens of meters tall. Seen from the city wall, they were all higher than Wancheng.
There are faint figures moving on the tall buildings, holding bows and arrows. From the ground, they climbed up to the four tall buildings like ants.
"Jinglan!" Liu Mang said the name of this tall building almost through gritted teeth. Just like the siege engine, it is also a force for siege. Compared with the city rush car, the city rush car is already good. It will only smash the city gate, and then enter the city from the city gate passage. If it is blocked, the city rush car will have no effect.
But the well in front of me is different. This kind of thing is completely against people. The city rush car is only against the city wall, and the well is against people. This is a sharp weapon, in other words, a big killer.
Jinglan was invented by Mozi. The King of Chu once used him to conquer the State of Song, which was originally a small country. He knew that he was no match for Chu in field battles. So he withdrew his troops and assembled nearly 50,000 troops in the country to prepare enough food and grass to resist the king of Chu.
In the first month and the second month, because the king of Chu invaded, the soldiers of Song State fought for their hometown one by one. Seventy or eighty thousand. If the fight continues like this, it is impossible for the King of Chu to win. Moreover, once the State of Song cannot be taken down, and the State of Chu suffers such a big loss, then the other neighbors of the State of Chu will not be so easy to get along with.
Just when the King of Chu was at a loss, a disciple of the Mo family came to the King of Chu and offered the Jinglan, which was completely prepared for the siege of the city. It should not be called a siege weapon, but a murder weapon. Jinglan is a mobile archery tower, which can attack the enemy's siege weapon on the city wall. With it on the shelf, any arms can shoot from a long distance. Generally, it is built to a height of 3 and a half floors, with pulleys installed underneath, and it is condescending to move and shoot.
The king of Chu spent two days building ten wells, and ordered people to enter the wells. There were ten thousand archers in the ten wells. The place is already small, and coupled with the dense number of soldiers from the Song Dynasty, it has become a disaster.
Originally, the Song State was defending the city, and they were condescending to deal with the King of Chu. Their bows and arrows could hit the army of the King of Chu, but the army of the King of Chu couldn’t shoot them. Now they just turned around and became the King of Chu. The army of the Song Dynasty condescended to shoot at the Song State. The city was originally a defensive thing that could resist enemies several times its size, but now it has become a deadly place in front of Jinglan. As long as none of the Song State soldiers on the city wall can survive In just one stick of incense, countless arrows rained down on the Song State, causing countless casualties, and the soldiers of the Song State had to go up the city wall. Once there is no one on your city wall, it will be the time when the King of Chu broke the Song Dynasty.
So that station was extremely tragic, the elite soldiers died, the ordinary soldiers went up, the ordinary soldiers died and the common people went up, and finally even the palace guards and maidservants of the Song Dynasty went up to the city wall, but the final outcome could not be changed. The three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei were divided up directly.
There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire Song Kingdom, and in the end, there were less than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest were all killed on the city wall. The corpses almost blocked the Song Kingdom.
Since then, Jinglan has become a sharp weapon for killing and attacking the city, which is used by all the princes and states, and the defenders of the city are all afraid of it.
Of course, Jinglan is not invincible. Jinglan was invented by Mozi. Mozi once attacked him with fire. Jinglan is tall and mighty, but his ability to move is very slow and easy to damage. He only needs a light cavalry or It is a trilogy with strong action ability, which can destroy the well fence in a short time after rushing to the bottom of the well fence, and can destroy the enemies who have already been on the well fence. It is impossible to fall from a height of tens of meters to survive. possible.
But now there are two very important issues. One is that Liu Mang has no soldiers to send the city management army and the black chess army to defend the city wall. It is impossible to divide his troops out of the city. Wancheng was captured by Sun Ce's army.
Second Liu Mang really smiled wryly, he has already blocked the gate of Wancheng! Before Sun Ce used the chariot to charge the city, Liu Wei didn't care about smashing the city gate and you still couldn't get in like this, which made Liu Wei mock Sun Ce once, but now it's all right, Sun Ce can't get in and he can't get out, don't He said that there were no soldiers to destroy the well, even if he had soldiers, he would not be able to send them out! The passage was completely blocked.
"My lord, what should we do!" Xu Sheng has never seen Jinglan before. Few people know about this kind of thing since the Warring States period, because it is too harmful to peace. Whether it was the well that was killed by the well or the well that was destroyed, the number of soldiers who fell from the sky was tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, so a very unified key is that everyone no longer uses the well. You can fight as you like, who knows that after the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, he appeared again.
"It didn't exist yesterday. It appeared today!" Liu Mang said to himself, this was indeed made by Sun Ce's army in the past few days. Last night, Sun Ce mobilized 10,000 troops to cut wood and make it. made it before.
"What to do!" Liu Mang didn't want to sit still, if this Jinglan was allowed to get close to the city wall of Wancheng, all the defenders of Wancheng would be exposed to Jinglan's attack range, and there would be heavy casualties at that time, Sun Ce Although there are not dozens of wells like the king of Chu, four wells can hold three thousand archers.
Three thousand archers fired uninterrupted condescension. Moreover, Liu Mang has no way to attack them yet, thinking about it makes him feel horrible.
"Far attack!" Huang Xu said. He is not an ignorant person, and he has been with his father for a long time. Huang Xu was also fascinated, but Huang Xu was more inclined to be a Confucian general like Su Fei and Zhou Yu, while Huang Zhong was a fierce general.
"Far attack?!" Liu Mang froze for a moment, the sky was about to become clear. Once the sky is bright. Sun Cejun will attack. The gate of the city has been blocked, Sun Ce's army can't get in, and Liu Mang can't get out. It's impossible to rush out of Wancheng to destroy the well, so the only way is to attack from a distance, but Liu Mang knows how to attack from a distance ! Jinglan is one point higher than the city wall of Wancheng. The archers of Wancheng and Sun Cejun on Jinglan are so unlucky that the only one who suffers is Liu Mangjun, let alone Sun Cejun in Jinglan. How can they give up attacking the city wall and let the black chess army raise their bows and arrows to drive the enemy out of the city.
"My lord, you forgot. We still have one more thing! He is definitely powerful enough to destroy a well with one arrow!" Huang Xu reminded Liu Mang. Jing Lan was too threatening and had to be removed. Even if ordinary bows and arrows were shot at him, it would be itchy. Only something powerful enough could deal with it.
"You mean?!" Liu Wei also remembered, these wells are outside Wancheng, Wancheng really can't hold it, and the retreat is also blocked by Liu Wei himself. In the end, he can only fight to the death inside the city. bingo.
The dialogue between Huang Xu and Liu Mang made Xu Sheng confused, what kind of thing, what kind of thing can directly destroy a well fence, but Xu Sheng saw that since those well fences can allow thousands of people to climb to the top, they are naturally built It's very strong, how could it be so easily pierced by an arrow, I'm afraid it will take a while to cut it with a knife and axe!
Huang Zhong looked at his son and Liu Mang, his eyes sparkled, that thing seemed to be really able to deal with this well.
"It's him!" A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Mang's mouth, "Come and bring out the bed crossbow!" That's right, what Huang Xu and Liu Mang were talking about was the bed crossbow, the one that almost shot Sun Ce's bed crossbow with one arrow. Huge, one arrow pierced two war horses and broke the spear made of iron of the Overlord of Western Chu, you will know his power.
It is absolutely fine to use this thing against Jinglan, the accuracy of the bed crossbow is very poor, but with a sniper like Huang Xu around, there is no problem.
Sun Cejun is installing thatch as the last thing on the well fence. These thatch can let the soldiers block the damage from other places, especially the arrows. Although the well fence is high enough, some people have strong arms and can shoot an arrow. If you go to the well fence, you can hurt the soldiers on the well fence.
"It's almost dawn!" Sun Ce got up in the middle of the night, and Lu Su was busy all night. He saw Lu Su's well fence in an ancient book of the family. There was a king of Chu who attacked Song Yijing and destroyed a hundred thousand defenders. Lu Su didn't believe it, but he still made it today. Seeing his works, Lu Su smiled. Three thousand archers, condescending and arrows raining down, think about it It's all scary, what's better than being hit by the enemy but not being able to do it yourself.
Now the roles have been reversed, Liu Mang is the one attacking the city, and Sun Ce is defending the city. Liu Mang's 4,000 troops have to face an army of tens of thousands.
Sun Cejun was on the move, and Liu Mang didn't stop. The bed crossbow was moved out of the city tower by the gentry. The bed crossbow had been shot through and the marks left by the flying giant arrows were still there. A battle of one point decides the world.
It was this thing that made Gan Ning avoid the battle with Lu Bu's army and the water army, and it was him who let Su Fei stay in the water army camp to die, and he might be Liu Mang's sharp weapon against Sun Ce.
A bed crossbow requires dozens of people to carry it. It is extremely heavy. Liu Mang replaced it with a bowstring and installed a giant arrow. Liu Mang was a little embarrassed, because originally this was the nemesis against Jinglan, but on the wall of Wancheng City This one is actually a prototype of a bed crossbow, which was used by Liu Mang for experimentation. His bowstring is the last one left. It is not the improved and reusable bowstring installed on Gan Ning’s boat, but One time, the bowstring will collapse after being used once.
I used it against Sun Ce once and broke a bowstring, and now this is the last one.
What to do! There are four wells on the opposite side, but Liu Wei only has such a chance in his hands. Even if it hits the target, it can only destroy one well and the rest!
"Teach me!" Huang Zhong interjected, and he stepped forward to stroke this sharp weapon. He is good at bow and arrow, how could he not see the horror of this thing in front of him? The power of the bowstring makes even the martial arts practitioners fear, if a person who is good at archery stands aside and pulls the bed crossbow, even the martial arts practitioners will be hated.
If Liu Mang asked Huang Xu to shoot the arrow against Tai Shici, Tai Shici would be nailed to the ground with an arrow on the spot. Even if Sun Ce broke through, it would be after the oolong in his hand died. Whether or not Sun Ce could live without that war horse is another matter.
Huang Zhong waved his hand and four or five of his soldiers brought a big cloth bag. The big bag was extremely heavy, and it was hard for four or five of them to carry it.
Huang Zhong took the cloth bag from their hands, and lifted four or five big men with one hand, all holding strenuous things.
Huang Zhong took out something from the bag, Xu Sheng didn't recognize it, but Liu Mang and Huang Xu gasped, Huang Zhong was holding a steel arrow made of all-iron iron!
Liu Mang was terrified of this thing in Huang Zhong's hands, because Huang Zhong used it to deal with his father-in-law, Lu Bu. Lu Bu is such a proud person, such a god of war, and a person who has already stepped into the peak of god refining He almost couldn't resist it, and it took all his strength to block it. Even so, Lu Bu was also very embarrassed. He lost his helmet and his weapon was thrown away, and almost died under the steel sword.
Huang Xu was terrified that his father would use it again! This steel arrow is not something you can use whenever you want, every time you use it, it consumes a lot of energy, and it is a godsend! What is refined is spiritual energy, and what is consumed under this arrow is the spiritual energy you have cultivated through hard work. This is why Huang Zhong used it when he was fighting Lu Bu, but he used the golden sword when fighting Sun Ce.
Lu Bu had already reached the pinnacle of god refinement, Huang Zhong knew that he would not be an opponent if he didn't use this, and Sun Ce, it wasn't that Huang Zhong looked down on Sun Ce to be worthy of a fight, but he couldn't even think about defeating himself.
Huang Xu thinks that he already has 80% of his father's bow and arrow strength, but that is not counted. Once counted, Huang Xu can't match even half of it.
Huang Zhong has already reached the peak of god refining, but he can only draw this steel arrow twice, and the third time is Huang Zhong's limit.
"Father, do you really want to do this!" Huang Xu hesitated a little. Three Arrows is already his father's limit, Huang Xu is very worried!
"There are other ways!" Huang Zhong smiled and patted Huang Xu on the shoulder. His son has grown up, and he used to care about him. Now he knows he cares about himself. They are all at the point of life and death. It's a critical moment, why do you care so much? No one can escape the destruction of Wancheng, so it's better to fight.
"Young master! My bow originally evolved from the frontier bed crossbow. Although Zhong failed to refine him to the extreme, he was able to shoot through those few wells! So the remaining three will be handed over to him. Me!" Huang Zhong was desperate, for so many years, Huang Zhong would only do this when he was fighting Lu Bu, even when He Lu Bu was fighting, Huang Zhong didn't pull out a second arrow, but today Huang Zhong is going to make an exception, it's been a long time Not so crazy anymore! . )
