Chapter 688 Shooting Sound


Chapter 688 Shooting Sound

This scene seems familiar, maybe in a dream, maybe it was yesterday.

When Rui Zhi looked at the overwhelming Taishan army in full formation in the distance, he was once again shocked by the enemy's military spirit.

In the low basin, countless military flags and swords were fluttering, and the shining armor mixed with the bright and bright military uniforms of the Taishan Army, like clusters of huge chrysanthemums blooming in the basin, with a dazzling brilliance.

At this time, the sound of roaring footsteps came from all directions, and then various kinds of sound instruments, mixed with the voices of people, surrounded Jin Yong City like a mixed current.

This time, the Taishan Army did not only attack Jin Yong North City, but mobilized three legions including Xu Huang.

Among them, Chen Huan's Shesheng Army was responsible for supporting the rear response. Then Xu Huang's Feihu Army continued to besiege the North Gate, and finally Xie Bi's Wei Bo Army besieged the South City.

After interrogating those Jianghuai soldiers last night, Xu Huang learned about the situation in the city.

Although there are not many troops in the city, only more than 3,000 people, they are all Danyang soldiers known as Huaishang's powerful force, which is Zhu Jun's core armament.

After getting this information, Xu Huang gave up his plan to capture Jin Yong, and then honestly ran to the base camp of Beiman Mountain to report Jin Yong's situation to Zhang Chong.

At that time, Zhang Chong was soaking his feet, nodding his head as Xu Huang talked about his thoughts in detail.

Finally, Zhang Chong affirmed Xu Huang:

"Gong Ming, you are right to be cautious. The total strength of your army is less than five thousand. The enemy is sitting in a fortified city and has the courage to go out to fight at night. Your troops are not enough. In this way, I will let Chen Huan shoot The sound camp will help you. Since the trebuchet and nest car are useless, let's shoot against each other."

With the king's affirmation and understanding, Xu Huang's worries disappeared. After that, he talked with the king for a long time, and finally left the Beimang Mountain camp in the night.

In the early morning of the first day, Chen Huan led the Shesheng Army to Xu Huang's camp.

Chen Huan's Shesheng Army was not a battalion responsible for attacking fortifications. Zhang Chong sent them here because this army was the only pure unit of the Taishan Army.

This is a pure range strike force built around ballistae. The army has a total strength of 5,000 people, including 2,000 crossbowmen and 200 ballistae teams. It is also equipped with a 5,000-man army of civilians who are responsible for escorting arrows. arrow.

Xu Huang looked at countless ballistae parked in the wilderness, and excitedly said to his left and right:

"Now, what's the difficulty in conquering Jinyong?"

At this time, Chen Huan came over with Chen Cheng. He and Xu Huang had a good relationship. During the battle at Zhongrenting, the two sides cooperated tacitly.

This time, it was also because of Xu Huang's request that their Shesheng Army had the opportunity to join the battlefield. So as soon as Chen Huan came over, he smiled at Xu Huang.

Over there, Xu Huang was even more exaggerated than Chen Huan. He strode over and hugged Chen Huan into his arms. Their armors touched each other crisply.

Chen Cheng, who was beside him, didn't look at it. He only saw Xu Huang, who was like a bear, hugging his brother into his arms. It looked like adultery and passionate love.

Xu Huang excitedly said to Chen Huan:

"Old Chen, now that you are here, I feel relieved. You know that we, Old Xu, have never fought hard battles? But we cannot fight losing battles. Look at Jin Yong City, you want me to call my disciples I can't go to Yifu to attack the city. Otherwise, even if I defeat Jin Yong, the old brothers in the army will point their fingers at me and scold me, saying that I used the blood of my brothers to pave the way. But after thinking about it, I really think so. Don’t know what to do.”

Chen Huanshen thought so.

He pointed to Chen Cheng beside him and said:

"Old Xu, be patient for a moment. I will show you how our crossbow army operates in a moment. This is what our king personally practiced to conquer this city.

Xu Huang knew Chen Cheng and quite recognized his abilities. He even told people next to him more than once that Chen Cheng, a young soldier in the army, was unparalleled in shooting.

Chen Cheng also respected Xu Huang. He nodded and led the crossbow troops ahead. They wanted to rush to the designated battlefield as soon as possible to complete the setup of their positions.

With the wheels squeaking, the Shengsheng Army followed the military road that had been smoothed by the Flying Tiger Army, and the two hundred ballistas in the general pushed all the way to the foot of Jin Yong City.

Xu Huang also rushed over. He wanted to see how these people from the Shengsheng Army attacked the city with ballistae.

Contrary to Xu Huang's expectation, when the Shesheng Army arrived at Jin Yong, they did not directly start firing arrows at the city, but began to dig trenches and fortifications.

Xu Huang was puzzled. He looked at Chen Huan questioningly, but the latter was not enthusiastic about explaining to him.

Therefore, Xu Huang could only remain silent and continue to observe.

The Shengsheng Army itself had five thousand auxiliary troops, all of whom were accustomed to the training of the main army, so they quickly dug a three-mile-long trench in front of Jinyong North City, and then 200 ballistae were deployed on the front slope of the trench. Line up.

After digging the trench, the lieutenants did not rest, but continued to carry bundles of arrows from the rear.

There are large ones, as thick as spears, medium ones, which are heavier than ordinary arrows, and there are some small ones, which are almost like normal arrows.

These various types of arrows were hung in wooden boxes by category for the archery army to use.

After everything was arranged, Chen Cheng glanced at Xu Huang and Chen Huan.

Then I heard Chen Huan say to Xu Huang:

"Old Xu, what do you think? Do you give the order or do I do it?"

Xu Huang was confused and said respectfully:

"I'll just listen to you."

Chen Huan does his part, this is his home court.

At this time, he yelled:

"Get ready!"

Chen Cheng received the order and waved the flag.

The gunners of each train received the flag order and shouted angrily:

"Get ready!"

A complete configuration of a ballista has four men.

There are two crossbow operators, one to twist the string and the other to load the arrow; a dispatcher is responsible for calibrating the attack point; and a commander is responsible for receiving orders and issuing orders.

At this time, after the commanders of each ballista gave the order, the strong stringer pulled the string rope, and then the archer took out the heavy arrows and installed them on the bow string, and then the dispatcher in front of the ballista controlled the direction.

Then each commander shouted in turn:

"Every vehicle has been loaded."

Chen Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Jin Yong City not far away. He could see people on the top of the city constantly pointing at it, and he smiled.

Then, he roared:

"Launch!"

On the three-mile-long trench, orders were received early and late, so we saw this scene:

Countless arrows as strong as thick spears were fired at Jinyong City one after another, and the entire trench erupted with a loud thunderclap.

On the top of Jinyong City, the Han army was horrified, watching the densely packed spears and arrows coming over, shaking like a sieve.

But soon, they discovered that nothing happened.

The Jianghuai soldiers touched their faces and looked around. No one had any casualties.

At this time, the Han army who was leaning against the city wall couldn't help but glance down and saw two hundred spears and arrows piercing the wall deeply.

Therefore, the joy of surviving the disaster and the contempt for the Taishan Army made everyone burst into laughter.

Among the crowd, Rui Zhi squeezed over. He looked down, his expression changed instantly, and he roared:

"Hurry up and ask the axemen below to come up and tie a rope to me. Let me cut off these spears."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Rui Zhi was pressed down by the nearby companions, and then screams one after another rang out from the top of the city.

Rui Zhi was about to lie down on the ground, and the companions held up the banners and pulled him all the way to the attic.

With the protection of the attic, Rui Zhi finally saw clearly what happened.

Countless arrows came like a torrential rain. They had never encountered enemy arrows before, but most of them couldn't be shot, and they didn't have much power when they were shot. But what about now? These arrows were so powerful that they nailed many Jianghuai soldiers to the ground. The other robes tried to drag him down, but they were also shot over by arrows from behind.

At this time, Jianghuai soldiers continued to fall to the ground, and the remaining ones began to avoid the city, hiding in the attic like Rui Zhi.

Rui Zhi originally thought it would only last for a while, but after waiting for a long time, the strength of the arrow never weakened.

At this time, Rui Zhi felt deeply uneasy in her heart.

……

At this time, Xu Huang outside the city also opened his mouth.

He saw the ballistas mounted on the slopes constantly spitting out arrows under the control of the sound-shooting army. Because of the slope, these arrows landed on the top of the city in a graceful arc.

He didn't quite understand why those arrows seemed to understand people's words and pointed where to shoot. What Xu Huang didn't understand was that the dispatchers of the Shengsheng Army were all carefully educated, proficient in arithmetic, and had rich mathematical practices for the calculation of parabolas.

The mathematics level of these people may be that of a partial junior high school student, but in this era they are undoubtedly the group of people who understand parabolas best.

Therefore, knowledge is really powerful.

At this moment, Chen Huan touched Xu Huang and said with a smile:

"Old Xu, it's time for your people to attack the city."

Xu Huang was surprised:

"You haven't finished shooting all the arrows, so you let my people charge? What if I am accidentally injured?"

But I heard Chen Huan smile proudly:

"Don't worry, our Shengsheng Army will never shoot our own brothers."

Xu Huang disagreed:

"Your Shesheng Army knows people, but your crossbows don't."

But Xu Huang still gave Chen Huan face and ordered his team to rush into the first round.

Xu Huang's general in charge was Fei Yao, who fought in the battle of Zhongrenting with Le Yin's son Le Shang.

At this time, Fei Yao was wearing three layers of armor and holding a short ax. After receiving the military order, he rushed over with two hundred iron soldiers.

They ran faster and faster, followed closely by a group of engineers, in groups of four, chasing them with ladders.

As Fei Yao ran, he looked at the rain of arrows above his head worriedly, and then cursed angrily.

When he ran to the foot of Jinyong City, the engineers behind him were still far away.

Fei Yao was impatient and couldn't wait for the people behind him, so he grabbed the spears and arrows embedded in the earth wall and started climbing.

He was very fast, and the three layers of armor draped around his body seemed to be nothing.

Suddenly, just as he was grabbing the fourth spear, the already damaged spear could not withstand Feiyao's weight and suddenly broke.

Amid everyone's exclamations, Fei Yao fell heavily to the ground.

Several nearby trappers hurried forward to check, but before they could get closer, Fei Yao jumped up without any damage.

It's just that this time he didn't dare to wander and waited for the engineers behind to catch up.

In order to attack Jin Yong, the engineering battalion specially lengthened a batch of ladders and used hooks on the top of the ladders to firmly grasp the city wall.

The engineers were very familiar with erecting ladders, not to mention that this time the city didn't even have nasty things like gold juice, so after a while, twenty ladders were hung on the top of the city.

This time, Fei Yao couldn't wait any longer and was the first to step on the ladder and rush upward.

After him, twenty armored warriors followed.

Soon, all 200 trapped soldiers rushed to Jinyong City.

This was the first time the Taishan Army rushed to the top of Jin Yong City on the third day of the siege.

Xu Huang was overjoyed when he saw this scene from a distance, and immediately ordered the front camp to attack forward.

……

Rui Zhi shouted from the top of the city, asking the Danyang disciples who were hiding under the attic to return to the top of the city.

Some young and energetic Danyang soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed over with banners in hand, but they were quickly knocked over by a dense barrage of arrows.

Seeing that no one dared to charge, Rui Zhi made a fierce move, pulled out some cards and rushed over.

When the guards saw this, they gritted their teeth and pushed over with their banners.

With the general taking the lead, more and more Jianghuai soldiers stood at the top of the city again.

But before they could take a breath, armored soldiers from the Taishan Army appeared outside the city wall, and then ferociously collided with these Jianghuai soldiers.

This was not the first time Rui Zhi encountered such a scene. He had long heard that the Taishan Army was good at fighting, but he had never believed it in the past.

But just now he fought against an armored Taishan soldier. He failed for three rounds, and finally, with the help of another companion, they worked together to kill the man.

He peeled off the faceplate of the dead man in front of him, and what he saw was a face that was very different from that of a Han man. He was lost in thought when he heard a roar not far away.

Then Rui Zhi saw a warrior as strong as a bear, roaring and charging towards him.

He was about to fight, and then he was stopped by the soldiers. They whispered this sentence in Rui Zhi's ear:

"That man has just killed seven of our warriors."

Rui Zhi hesitated, then turned to look to the other side, and then roared:

"Die to me!"

These soldiers were all from Rui Zhi's tribe, and they knew their master best, so they followed him to the other side without any surprise.

The Xiong Zhu warrior who rushed over was none other than Fei Yao. He saw his prey running away like a mouse and screamed in anger.

But he couldn't catch up, so Fei Yao could only direct his anger at the Danyang soldiers around him.

……

In Jinyong Zhongcheng, Zhu Zhi was sitting on the Hu bed and dispatching troops.

Among the three cities of Jinyong City, the middle city has no city gates. It relies on overpasses on both sides to connect the north and south cities. Therefore, the middle city has become the reserve area and general preparation of Jinyong City.

At this time, he was listening to his disciples' report on the situation on the north wall. When he heard that the Taishan Army had rushed to Jinyong City, Zhu Zhi could no longer sit still.

Originally, he wanted to save troops, but who would have thought that Beimen would be unable to hold on so quickly.

Therefore, he ordered his nephew Zhu Mei to take 800 men to support him, and he must drive Taishan's army down the city.

Zhu Mei was ordered to rush to support with 800 elite soldiers.

Looking at Zhu Mei's leaving figure, Zhu Zhi felt a twinge in his heart.
