?? A large number of Zhou troops on the bank of the Yangtze River in the northeastern suburbs of Wuchang City had landed. Their first-row troops repelled the Chen army's attack and allowed the follow-up troops to gain a firm foothold. In view of this, Chen army decided to set up a formation on the hem of the city to use the benefits of the city wall to defend the enemy.

The city is as solid as a golden stone, and there are more than 20,000 defenders, so they are not afraid of the Zhou army attacking. Some soldiers have already formed an array outside the southeast corner of the city to attack the city. If the Zhou army attacks the Chen army in the southeast corner, the defenders in the city can shoot arrows and kill each other from a high point.

On the top of the city, General Chen Jun was surprised to see the Zhou army gathering in the distance. As soon as the other party landed, there was no sign of camping, but they seemed to be sieging the city immediately, which made them very disdainful.

A mere five or six thousand troops dare to attack the city. Do you think our tens of thousands of officials are like a native chicken and a tile dog?

The other three walls were originally there, and Chen Jun was in the east. Three trenches were dug outside the west city. Except for the city gate, the suspension bridge was placed at the city gate and it could pass through, there was no road directly under the city wall. There was a person in these trenches that were 1 meter deep and wide, and the Zhou army who had to break through had to spend some effort to break through, so the siege was so eager to attack the city without going back.

Although Chen Jun did not think that the Zhou army could capture Wuchang, he would not think that the other party was an idiot who would attack the city with bare hands. As expected, when the Zhou army approached the city, there were siege equipment such as trenches, cloud ladders, and pointed wooden donkeys in the formation.

These are commonplace weapons that can be seen as long as it is siege. The trench bridge is a bridge across the trench so that the siege soldiers can pass through the bridge without having to cross the trench, and the ladder is used to climb the city wall. The pointed wooden donkey is a pointed four-wheeled bottomless wooden chariot, which is a slashed cow-skinned leather, resists arrows on the city. Soldiers hide in it and push the cart forward to approach the city wall to attack.

There were many shield cars following closely behind. These were instruments used to cover the archers to approach the city and the defenders. It was a bit strange to see the Chen army soldiers on the top of the city to make such siege equipment like magic.

It only took about an hour since the Zhou army landed, but we didn't see any wood transporting the other party, or after landing, we cut down trees and logging wood, we actually made so many siege equipment. Some people said that these were built in advance by the Zhou army, but those with good eyesight said that the warship could not see these things when it was docked.

"Maybe it was done to transport it to Jiangnan and then load it up?" Some people guessed so much, and everyone thought what he said was reasonable, otherwise the Zhou army would not have sieged the city so quickly, but then they were all despised.

The things that were temporarily assembled are not reliable. Just because these things are still trying to capture Wuchang City? The top of Wuchang City has long been filled with wood, stones and other items to defend the city. There are plenty of arrows and even flammable objects that set fire, and there are many torches. You will die as much as you come!

Do you think the pointed wooden donkey wearing raw cowhide can protect you from arrows and fire? There are also stones as big as millstones on the top of the city to deal with these pointed wooden donkeys that are digging tunnels close to the city wall!

Suddenly, a horse rode a horse and approached the city. Before the archer shot an arrow on the top of the city, he shot a letter to the city tower. When the general Chen opened it, he saw that it was indeed a letter of surrender. The letter said that the Great Zhou army was not able to resist. If he was tactful, he would surrender early and be treated with the advantage. Otherwise, he would not regret it after the city was broken.

"I actually said that after the city was broken, I won't regret it, hahahahaha!"

"What a big tone! I don't even look at how many of them dare to come to attack the city!"

The military strategy says: Ten times will surround the city. Nowadays, the troops must significantly exceed the defending city. Now the Zhou army under the city is less than half of the Wuchang defenders' strength. If it weren't for the previous exhausted military plan that the defenders had no time to react, otherwise five or six thousand people would have rushed over and drove the Zhou army back into the water.

Now there are more than 10,000 Chen troops in the city, and there are no less than 5,000 soldiers on the southeast side of the city. Even the Zhou army, whose troops were attacking with a huge gap in the enemy and us, dared to speak wildly.

"Look, this signature is Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, who is the one-legged bronze man!"

"It's so crazy that I'm so crazy that I was so obsessed with excessive sexual intercourse last night, hahahaha!"

"I don't think so. I'm crazy if I eat too much human flesh!"...

In the Zhou army formation, Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, was looking at the top of Wuchang City with a Qianlijing. There seemed to be laughing loudly and the laughter was vaguely heard. He put down the Qianlijing and turned around and said to the generals next to him: "Jin Chen lost just now, he remembered his name, but he would not have to run around when he went back.

”

Chen Wudi and others were amused and crying when they heard this. Yuwen Wen then added: "Next, have those birders scolded me for eating too much human flesh and losing my heart."

Yan Ji, Sima of the Prefecture, coughed dryly and said, "Strike the city quickly and avoid the long dreams." After all, it's not good if the enemy is too many and we are too few to delay for a long time. Yuwen Wen nodded and ordered the central army to beat drums and let the army launch an offensive.

He sent two military leaders to command more than 2,000 people to attack the city with a spear formation twice as much as his Chen army on the southern wing, and the remaining troops directly attacked the city. The siege equipment referenced the modular design of the "Advanced Concept of the Twenty-first Century", which was easy to carry and assemble.

More importantly, durability is durability. The pointed-headed wooden donkey made of fine iron in key parts is the best. Not to mention rockets, tiny oil, and torches can be temporarily immune to temporary immunity, even if you throw a stone as big as a millstone on the top of the city wall, you can't break it in just a few strokes. If the defenders dare to underestimate these temporarily assembled things, they will only regret it.

The sound of drums was heard, and the Zhou army launched an attack and the Chen army moved with it. The Chen army formation under the city was pressing towards the Zhou army formation with the "mantis arm to chariot" in front of them. In their opinion, the opponent's troops were barely half as strong as their own. If they could not defeat them, they could really kill them. Although the Zhou army's spear formation was majestic when they were on the riverside, the Chen army soldiers thought it was just an accident, but now it was the best time to prove that it was an accident.

With the protection of the southern wing, the Zhou army attacked the city directly attacked the city wall on the east side of Wuchang. They braved the flying stones thrown by the manpower chariots in the city and the rain of arrows splashed from the city. With the cover of the big shield, they first used the trench bridge to build a bridge in the triple trench in turn, and then more than ten pointed wooden donkeys advanced along the bridge toward the corner of the city wall.

Each pointed wooden donkey had ten soldiers hidden in it, pushing the cart together, so even though the car body was heavy, the movement was not slow. These pointed wooden donkeys crossed the triple trench along the trench bridge and shot the rockets straight to the city wall.

The rocket was shot on the spire but failed to ignite it, but it only emitted blue smoke. The raw cowhide was soaked in water and had good fire resistance. It could protect the rocket for a certain period of time. However, after the pointed wooden donkey arrived under the city wall, a more violent attack came.

Many torches and torches were thrown down from the city.

Another tincture oil was poured down on the pointed wooden donkey and ignited a fire. The spires of many pointed wooden donkeys turned into torches as thrilling as piles of bonfires. At this time, Zhou army archers approached the city with the cover of shield chariots and shot arrows to cover their own wooden donkeys.

Many Chen Jun soldiers who leaned out to throw the wooden rocks were shot on the spot, and Zhou archers under the city also fell to the ground from time to time. When the two sides shot, the pointed wooden donkeys of Zhou Jun were less attacked, and the soldiers among them began to work hard.

"They are digging the soil!" In order to determine where the enemy troops in the city were digging tunnels, the defenders usually half-buried large tanks near the city walls covered with cowhides, and these soldiers took this opportunity to notice the movements of the Zhou army.

"Digging the soil? Could it be that they want to dig tunnels? What's the use of digging tunnels now?" A general of Chen army sneered. Generally, digging tunnels in the city must be hidden from the defenders and let them not know where the tunnels come into the city. The first condition is to be far away from the city, but now Zhou Jun is digging under the city wall. That's a fool who can guess where the tunnel entrance is.

A triple trenches outside Wuchang City and flooding water can prevent the enemy from digging tunnels to approach the city and then going around the city wall to enter the city. Now, Zhou army is digging tunnels under the city wall, even if subsequent soldiers want to come, they have to bear the rain of arrows from the defenders on the city. Not to mention that after the Zhou army entered the tunnel, Chen army was able to calmly wait for the rabbit to come and kill as much as possible at the exit of the tunnel in the city.

"They are digging tunnels now, just for death. I think they want to dig under the foundation of the wall to collapse the city wall!"

"I think beautifully. They can't even dig for another two hours. They throw stones, throw those big stones and smash them!"

Chen Jun pointed stones as big as millstones and pushed them down at the pointed wooden donkey below. He thought that the heavy falling rock could smash Zhou Jun's pointed wooden donkey in one fell swoop. He didn't expect that the other party would forcefully eat it and just put a shallow pit on the top, but it was still fine.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jun soldiers were amazed: These pointed wooden donkeys are made of iron?

"Take it, keep throwing it, see how many times they can hold on!" General Chen shouted loudly. The enemy's pointed wooden donkey can carry, but there are also many big rocks on the top of the city. Since you can't handle it with one big rock, then you can have another one. If it doesn't work, then you can have a third one.

A large number of soldiers gathered behind the city wall. The only fate of Zhou's army trying to dig tunnels is that they can hit the ground with a headache. For general Chen Jun, there is no difference between Zhou's army digging tunnels and working in white.

Even if you poach the wall foundation and collapse the city wall, it is not possible to do so quickly. Judging from the height of the Wuchang city wall, the wall foundation will not be shallow. If Zhou Jun really wants to dig it, the pointed-headed wooden donkey will not be able to hold it at that time.

Just as Chen Jun transferred many big rocks to smash the pointed wooden donkeys under the city, he heard the sound of horns in some of the pointed wooden donkeys. After a while, the Zhou army camp also sounded the sound of horns, and then a large number of soldiers rushed down the city with shields and swords in one hand.

"The Zhou army is going to enter the tunnel to attack the city!" "Be ready to let them never come back!"

Crying sounds one after another. Although Chen Jun on the top of the city was still wondering how the other party could dig through the city wall so quickly, he still prepared his companions in the city. At this time, the pointed wooden donkey outside the city retreated and exposed several pits under the corner of the city wall. All of these pits had hemp ropes as thick as wrists stretched out tightly until the pointed wooden donkey.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

The Zhou soldiers rushing towards the city wall suddenly shouted loudly. Chen Jun on the city saw that the other party was about to enter the range and bent his bow and arrows. Just as they were about to shoot the arrow, they heard someone shouting "One, two, pull" in the toes of the city, and then a series of harsh sounds rang out.

The sound was like many wooden stakes that broke one after another. Then the soldiers on the top of the city felt their feet trembling suddenly. Then there was a roar everywhere in the city wall and it was tilted backwards. Behind the city wall, a large number of Chen soldiers who were drilling out of the conceivable tunnel, looked at the mountain-like city wall and fell to them with the force of Mount Tai.

The screams of countless people were heard, and then a huge roar resounded over Wuchang. The loud noise attracted the eyes of everyone on the battlefield with the dust rising from the sky. When the dust dissipated, I saw that the northern section of the eastern end of Wuchang, which was originally solid, had disappeared.

The Zhou soldiers rushed towards the sudden gap. They were already charging towards the city wall just in time for the gap to fall, so they took advantage of the situation to enter the city. Then the Zhou army's central army drums sounded loudly and shouted loudly throughout the sky:
Chapter completed!
