Chapter 294: Battle of Lou Cang (2)

In the early morning, the Chu army formed a battle formation outside Loucang City.

However, the Chu army, who was leading the way, was not holding swords, guns, axes, but sacks, but sacks filled with mud and sand. As the sound of intense drums sounded, the sound of a shaking cry came from the Chu army camp. Teams and soldiers quickly rushed towards Lou Cang under the cover of Mu Lu. They threw the sacks in their hands into the canal, then quickly retreated, followed the soldiers, and continued to fill the canal.

Liu Kan stood on the top of the city, holding a pergola in his hand and looking out.

"It seems that Chen Ying has been prepared!"

Li Cheng smiled calmly, "The king and the lord have been summoned several times, but although Chen Ying did not respond, he thought that he had already had bad intentions in his heart. Since he was ill, how could he not pay attention to the situation of Lou Cang? To attack Lou Cang, you must first fill the ditches that are densely spread here. Otherwise, their ladders will not be used, as long as the large siege equipment is used. No wonder he would stay in Xu County for a day."

"June, can we try to attack once?"

Tu Tu watched the Chu army keep filling the ditches and gradually approaching the building warehouse, and couldn't help asking: "Can you watch them let go?"

Liu Kan, no answer.

"Slaughter, have you seen the mound?"

Li Cheng pointed to a hill on the side of the Lou Cang, "Chen Ying is not a reckless person. Since he attacked, he must be prepared. I am sure that there must be an elite Chu cavalry ambushing behind the earth mound. As long as we dare to attack and stop it, the Chu army will definitely launch a sneak attack."

Tu Tu took a look in the direction of Li Cheng's finger.

The mound, called Hongtuwa, is located in the Suishui River Bay. The water is gentle and there are flat beaches in the river Bay, which can ambush more than 10,000 people without any trace. At this time, Hongtuwa is quiet and seems to be very calm. But the calmer it is, the more ghosts there are. If Lou Cang attacks and the Chu army attacks from Hongtuwa, it will definitely pose a huge threat to Lou Cang, and you must be careful.

Liu Kan suddenly said: "It seems that Xiang Jixue is smart!"

He turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order. Without my order, no one shall attack without authorization. Set up the bamboo spear and wait for my order."

The bamboo spear is a weapon designed by the ascetic when he was in the Lou Cang based on the conditions of the Lou Cang.

The material is made of locally produced local bamboo in Sihong, which is about the same thickness as the baby's arms. Hollow the bamboo and focus on a special liquid, and shoot it out through the rhubarb ginseng crossbow set up at the head of the Lou Cang City. The bamboo breaks after hitting the target, and the venom with a strong corrosion effect will be splashed out in the bamboo. As long as it is splashed, the skin will ulcer quickly.

In Liu Kan's words: This is called a biochemical weapon of mass destruction.

There is a special warehouse in Lou Cang City to store such weapons, and it is under heavy supervision and guarded strictly.

The Chu army is getting closer and closer.

At the beginning, they were worried that Lou Cang would send troops to stop him, but slowly, they found that there was no movement in Lou Cang City, so they put their heart back in their stomachs. On the contrary, Chen Ying, who was standing on the light cart, suddenly felt a little uneasy. The quieter Lou Cang was, the more fierce their counterattack would be. Until now, Lou Cang did not attack, obviously seeing through his ambush.

"Notify the Major General and ask him to pay more attention. There may be conspiracy in Lou Cang!"

The messenger agreed immediately, but before he could get on the horse, he heard a rumbling drum sound coming from the top of Loucang City.

Crunch, crunch...

The sound of the bow string trembling endlessly. Hundreds of bamboos left the string and flew towards the gradually advancing Chu army.

Have you taken action?

Chen Ying was stunned and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

There is a crossbow in Lou Cang, which is expected, and Chen Ying is not surprised.

However, before the smile on the corner of his mouth was fully unfolded, he heard a series of dull sounds of Pengpeng, followed by the broken wooden oars, accompanied by shrill screams, echoing in the air. The range of the Dahuang Ginseng Crossbow, about 600 to 800 steps, is an excellent weapon to defend against large siege equipment. If Lou Cang does not move, he will watch the thought that the barrier ditch was filled by the Chu army.

But if the attack is attacked, the actual lethality is not too great.

After all, there are only so many crossbows in Dahuang Ginseng. If a crossbow is shot and killed by a crossbow arrow, how many crossbow arrows can be used in Lou Cang?

If the crossbow arrows consume too much, when the siege equipment comes on, the defense of the building warehouse will be greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, filling the ditches is actually Chen Ying's consumption tactic. But unexpectedly, the crossbow arrows in Lou Cang were actually...

The bamboo spear hit Mulu and suddenly shattered. The black venom was spilled in the air, and the bamboo spear shattered, covering at least a dozen people. Chu Jun was caught off guard and was splashed on his body by the venom. He didn't care at first, but soon, the body was spilled into the place where the venom was spilled. Moreover, the venom did not cause severe pain, but it was extremely itchy. It only made people roll on the ground, scratched with their hands, and wanted to scratch the flesh... The shrill crying made Chen Ying frightened.

What weapons did the damn Qin people use?

Chen Ying was still wondering that the second round of bamboo spear had been launched from the city tower.

Without Mu Lu's cover, the Chu soldiers were suddenly panicked and fled everywhere. Most of the bamboo spears fell on the ground and broke... The venom splashed, but the area of ​​killing suddenly increased. Nearly a thousand Chu soldiers were splashed by the venom and rolled and howled on the ground. The Chu soldiers who were nailed to death by the bamboo spear were much luckier in comparison. After all, they died and did not need to endure such pain.

Looking at the Chu soldiers, they scratched themselves one by one, and the Chu soldiers in the formation were all scattered.

"Stop moving forward, stop moving forward!"

Chen Ying shouted loudly, and with the sound of the gong, the defeated Chu soldiers retreated back to the formation without anyone's face. The Chu soldiers who stayed on the battlefield were still howling, rolling, and scratching, making people suddenly feel scared when they watched.

"Arrowman, shoot the arrow!"

Chen Ying issued an order decisively.

But the archer hesitated, "Military advisor, where can I shoot?"

"Put those soldiers..." Chen Ying pointed at the Chu army who was crying and howling on the battlefield, gritted her teeth and said, "Shoot all, shoot all!"

"Military advisor, that's his own person!"

"Of course I know that it's my own person... but do you want to see them, suffer and scratch your intestines?"

A few words made the generals around him silent!

Yes, looking at those people, you are simply suffering from life; you can shoot your own people...

"Shoot the arrow!" Chen Ying said angrily: "If you don't shoot the arrow, don't blame me for disobeying the military order."

The flag-holder took a deep breath and shook the big penis in his hand.

The archers shot thousands of arrows at once, shooting the Chu soldiers on the battlefield one after another. The wailing sounded gradually calmed down. However, Chen Ying clearly felt that his soldiers looked at him with obviously not right, and his morale was reduced to the extreme.

No wonder, shooting one's own people in front of so many people can easily attract hatred.

Everyone knows the so-called sadness of the rabbit and the fox. If you shoot those people today, will you shoot yourself tomorrow? But for Chen Ying, what can you do? If you don’t shoot them, just the miserable situation and howling sounds will be enough to make your morale disappear.

Liu Kan smiled on the city tower!

The soldiers behind him cheered and shouted the slogan "Yanhuang Weiwu, Long Live the Lord and Hou".

In fact, when the bamboo spear was shot out, Liu Kan knew what kind of result would be produced. This is called the theory of weapon victory. Advanced weapons, extraordinary killing and deterrent power to the enemy is immeasurable. However, Chen Ying dared to shoot and kill the injured, making Liu Kan nod secretly. But he also knew that next... the Chu army would definitely adjust its state and launch the craziest revenge.

"Military advisor, why do you shoot your own people?"

Xiang Yu received the news and could no longer stay in Hongtuwa.

He immediately rushed to the front of the battlefield with his personal companionship and shouted angrily: "Those are all good men of my Great Chu, why do you want..."

Although Xiang Yu suffered a great defeat, his prestige among the Chu army remained undiminished at all.

Compared with the high spirits of the past few days, he looked a little haggard. However, when he was furious, he still had a horrifying aura.

Chen Ying pointed to the dead body in front of the formation and said with a wry smile: "Major General, if they were asked to continue shouting, they would probably kill the morale of the entire army. Ying was also helpless... God knows, how could this damn Lou Cang have such a vicious weapon?"

"You didn't have any plans long ago, why didn't you have any defense?"

Xiang Yu asked angrily, turned his horse's head, and looked at the bodies of Chu soldiers everywhere. He couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes became unconsciously wet.

"I said, Qin Gou is cunning!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you going to do to advance step by step? Since our army is at the city, we should act in one go and launch an attack. Even if we die in the battlefield, it will still live up to the reputation of our men of Great Chu. Killing our own people... won't it make the men feel cold?"

Chen Ying's face was gloomy and he didn't make any sound.

Xiang Yu was a proud man, but he suffered defeat before and was restrained.

But at that moment, the kindness of the woman who was at heart could no longer bear it when she saw the tragic situation of the soldiers under her command.

He rode his horse in front of the formation, raising his arms and shouting loudly: "My sons, Qin Gouzi is right in front of me, follow me to break through the Lou Cang and kill all Qin Gou!"

"Break through the Lou Cang and kill all Qin Gou!"

I have to admit that Xiang Yu is indeed very good at boosting morale.

He took off the battle horse, drew out the iron sword, reached out to grab a shield, and sternly said: "Male of Great Chu, follow me to charge!"

The rumbling drums of war echoed in the sky.

Teams of Chu troops, led by Xiang Yu, rushed towards the Lou Cang like a tide.

The rushing to the car and the ladder hit the wood, mixed with the military formation, rumbling. Isn’t there a ditch? Isn’t it afraid, we rush over!

Chen Ying wanted to stop Xiang Yu's reckless charge, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

How could this major general be the one who listened to the advice?

If he hadn't suffered a defeat before, he would probably not have followed his persuasion. Now, his temperament has improved, how could he be able to come back?

But that's the case, the Chu army is afraid that it will be seriously injured...

On the top of the Lou Cang City, the sound of chung sounded rapidly, followed by tens of thousands of arrows on the top of the city, and a rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, pouring out.

The crossbow with a string sound.

Crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms roared and rushed towards the car.

"Stone-throwing machine, launch!"

Faced with the Chu army's tide attack, Liu Kan was calm. As he watched the car's well railing cross the ditches and approach the city tower, he decisively issued an order. More than a hundred stone throwing cars hidden in the corner of the city gate rumbled and shot out diamond-shaped rocks.

At the same time, there were rains of arrows and gravel in the forts on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, the Chu army under the city suffered heavy casualties. They were shot into hedgehog by arrows and smashed into meat paste by huge rocks.

A bunch of vague flesh and blood, broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground. Two well railings were smashed by huge rocks. All the soldiers in the car died tragically in front of the formation.
