Chapter 304 Siege

Deng Sai was very close to Fancheng. Sima Yi began to attack Deng Sai. Wu Yi received the news. He set up a blocking position in the northeast of Fancheng, preparing to intercept Sima Yi's reinforcements, and at the same time notified Meng Da to speed up the attack.

Meng Da did not dare to neglect and immediately pushed the entire army forward. Not only did his main force go into battle, but the navy also forced the city to participate in the siege.

The momentum of Fancheng was even more tense. The gunners and crossbowmen of both sides fired with all their might at all costs. The arrows and stone bullets seemed to be free of money, and one burst was as fierce as the sky seemed to be darker. Both sides of the offense and defense knew whether they could break the city, and it was time to finally decide the victory or defeat.

In the direction of the ordnance, the defenders of Fancheng were strong enough to prepare and had a fixed fortress of the city, but the advantages of the Shu army were more obvious. They were unknown to have sufficient numbers and more powerful. The crossbow chariot operated by five people could be as high as ten to twenty crossbowmen, and they would not be tired, and they steadily suppressed the defenders at the top of the city. As for the thunder chariot, the Shu army also had an advantage. Although all the thunder chariots looked similar, they were not comparable when they started to attack, but after a period of competition, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were gradually reflected.

First of all, the thunderbolt chariot of the Shu army is more durable. A thunderbolt chariot was launched continuously for one day, but it was still so powerful, with a range and accurate head, basically maintaining its initial level. However, the thunderbolt chariot of the Wei army could not last until one day. Most thunderbolt chariots began to show signs of looseness after half a day of launch. The brackets clattered, the range was closer, and the accuracy head was worse. Some people even broke the tip rod from it, and the stone was not launched at all. They landed directly behind themselves, making their companions scream.

Ordinary soldiers did not understand why there was such a difference, only Wei Ba himself knew it. Ma Jun could imitate his design almost exactly, but his requirements for craftsmanship could not be as fine as him. As long as the size error was a little larger, the durability would be much worse. Just like a car, the axles of an ordinary car could never be as accurate and durable as the axles of a high-end sports car. Even if the same engine was installed, the ordinary car would not be able to run as fast as the sports car. It would be barely done, and there would be only one result: the car was destroyed and the people were killed.

In addition to durability, the Wei army's reserves of stone bullets were far inferior to those of the Shu army. After the two sides attacked each other for a day, the Shu army could still ensure the attack, but the Wei army at the top of the city was pale in comparison and could only arrange people to pick up the stone bullets that the Shu army had attacked into the city. The Shu army's stone bullets also surprised the Wei army because they only used ordinary stones, while the Shu army used stone balls of very regular sizes and shapes.

With so many stone balls, it takes more people to grind them? This alone is enough to make Wei Jun timid.

Just as Meng Da's commander attacked fiercely, the navy led by Feng Jin also launched an attack. Five tower ships lined up and forced to the closest place to the city wall unscrupulously. The crossbow chariots and thunderbolts were fired together. Due to limited space, the small and medium-sized warships did not have the strong force of the tower ship. However, they were not idle either. Some were responsible for transporting arrows and stone bombs, while others were busy sending the wounded back to the large camp for treatment, while more warships used crossbow chariots installed on the bow and stern of the ship to launch an attack.

Between the roaring crossbow trucks and thunder trucks, warships were busy and transporting the urgently built ladders to the shore. Large siege vehicles could not be transported to the shore, and simple ladders became the best choice. Teams of fully armed infantry stood on the ship, waiting for the start of the attack.

On the wide Han River, the warships of the Shu army were multiplied but not chaotic, and under the command of various colorful flags, they carried out pre-war preparations in an orderly manner. Feng Jin got his wish and was promoted from a commander of only 500 commanders to General Fubo, only one step away from the general, commanding 5,000 troops. His former brothers Fu Xing, Zhang Wei and others became his lieutenants, each commanding 1,000 troops and a tower ship.

Although the brothers fought side by side, no young man was competitive. Feng Jin by chance, he had a family-born sketch of an armored ship, so he gained the sovereignty of the first building ship and took the lead in making contributions. Fu Xing and others were embarrassed to compete with him, but they were a little dissatisfied with each other and wanted to become the next candidate for promotion.

Fu Xing pushed the armor a crack, focusing on the wall of Fancheng a hundred steps away, and pressing a sketch in his hand. This was the siege plan he drafted. As a participant in Wei Ba's first few experimental tactical deductions, he was used to planning anything before doing.

"Come here, listen to me." Fu Xing greeted, and all four military marquis under him surrounded him, pressing the sword, and looking at Fu Xing with warm eyes. They will take turns to attack Fancheng in units of Qu. Whoever can break the city first will be the first to be the fake lieutenant who is temporarily empty beside Fu Xing and become the second person in this battalion. The competition with the other four battalions also depends on whether they can break the city in front of other battalions, which will determine whether Fu Xing can become the second person in the navy.

With such thoughts, when Fu Xing explained his siege deployment, every military marquis pricked up his ears, remembered every word Fu Xing said in his heart, and occasionally pondered how he should perform at that time.

On the building boat less than fifty steps away from Fu Xing, Zhang Wei was also mobilizing before the war. Unlike Fu Xing's calmness and meticulousness, he was almost quarreling.

"The attack will begin later. I will be the first to go into battle. Within a single drum, you are not allowed to urge me. Have you heard it?" Zhang Wei's fierce eyes swept across the faces of the four military marquis: "If anyone dares to play tricks with me, don't blame me for turning against others."

"Captain, this can't be too rigid, right?" a military marquis reminded carefully. "If the enemy is tenacious, you will suffer too much..."

"Even if I die in the formation, it's my life." Zhang Wei sneered: "As long as I'm not dead, you can't take the credit."

The military marquis shrank their necks and said nothing.

On a warship on the far left, Guan Xing walked slowly in front of the two hundred swords and shield hands, and glanced at Fancheng in the distance from time to time. At the forefront of the swords and shield hands, there were several old soldiers standing, almost all of them had scars on their faces, some of them had white hair, but their waists were straight and murderous intent. They were obviously brave soldiers.

"Ten years ago, my father attacked Fancheng and Weizhen Huaxia. Wu Gou attacked and returned to his slaughter and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. He was destroyed by the world's famous Guan family's sword and shield hands, only these people in front of you." Guan Xing said quietly: "Today, we are here again. This time, I want to be the first to climb to the top of Fancheng to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."

Guan Xing turned his head, glanced over the faces of the old men, raised his hands, and gave a deep salute: "Please help me, uncles!"

Several old soldiers knelt down on the ground with their hands clasped their fists: "I wish to fight to the death with the young master!"

The two hundred sword shield hands behind them roared angrily: "I wish to fight to the death with the young master!"

Guan Xing's eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed again. He stood up and bowed to the military marquis next to him: "Everyone, I offended you. Today, Guan is going to take the lead."

The military marquis looked at each other and bowed their fists and said, "Please take care of your husband."

"Thank you."

At this moment, the sound of war drums outside suddenly changed, and the originally soothing rhythm suddenly became excited. Guan Xing was stunned, and then rushed to the observation hole. He instinctively looked at his left side. He only took a look and punched the cabin, and scolded, "I knew that Zhang Jixian would play this trick. Come on, prepare to attack!"

The military marquis squeezed to the lookout, and saw a wide and thick deck on the left-handed ship had already laid down. Zhang Shao was armed with a helmet and armed with a 10-meter-long infantry. Under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards, he passed through the shooting warship and rushed towards Fancheng in the distance. Obviously, without waiting for Feng Jin's order, he took the lead in launching the attack of the city. More than two hundred pawns carried the ladder and rushed towards Fancheng excitedly.

"Kill!" Zhang Shao raised his hand and pointed forward, and looked back at Guan Xing's ship. He seemed to know that Guan Xing would see him, grin, smiled proudly, and showed a neat big white teeth.

Guan Xing looked at his proud look, angry and funny, and shouted: "Open the cabin and prepare to attack!"

"Here!" The sword and shield hands shouted loudly, and two sword and shield hands walked over, one handed over the helmet and the other offered the sword and shield. Guan Xing put on his helmet, carefully tied the tassels, took the sword and shield, and hit it hard. The sword and shield made a crisp "clang" sound, like an endless oath.

The armor was opened, and several sword and shield hands rushed out of the cabin first.

Almost at the same time, the other three tower ships also opened their armor, and a thousand soldiers gathered into five giant dragons, roaring and pounced on Fancheng.

As the main general of the water camp, Feng Jin was not in the first attack sequence. He pushed away his armor, raised his battle flag, and ordered the crossbow chariot and the Thunderbolt chariot to shoot with all his might.

As the sound of war drums tightened, the defenders of Fancheng knew that the enemy was about to climb the city. They rushed out regardless of the dangers of arrows and stone bombs in the air, and launched a counterattack with their crossbows, wood on the city walls, and stone bombs in their hands, and counterattacks to the Shu army soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the city.

Feng Jin had long expected this, and his orders were issued very timely. Suddenly, dense arrows and stone bombs hit the city, and the Wei soldiers who rushed out were beaten torment. If they refused to hide behind the city wall honestly, they would be shot by arrows or stone bombs without a few breaths.

The Wei army's counterattack was severely curbed. Guan Xing and others rushed to the city smoothly, set up a ladder, and climbed up quickly.

Feng Jin stared at the battlefield in the distance. Seeing Zhang Shao, who was running the fastest, climbing the ladder with one foot, he immediately waved his hand hard: "Concentrate shooting!"

"Concentrate shooting!" The flag soldiers roared and waved the colorful flags in their hands vigorously. The drum sound changed, as fast as a storm.
