Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1768 Battle of Chengdu II

Wang Meng attacked the east gate, Wang Jian attacked the north gate, and Wu Qi attacked the west gate. It was a standard way of besieging three ques and one.Leave the south gate and only attack the north, east, west gates, leaving a glimmer of life for the defenders in the city, so that the defenders in the city will not fight desperately.

Following Wang Meng's order, tens of thousands of Jin troops left the camp, pushed siege equipment such as catapults, well rails, bed crossbows, and city charging carts, and began to encircle the three gates in the north, south, and south.

"Reporting to the military division, several generals have finished their preparations, and the catapults and well rails are all in place, ready to attack the city at any time." Binghui reported.

"it is good."

Wang Meng nodded, then drew out the long sword at his waist, pointed at the sky and shouted: "Siege the city."

"promise."

After the soldiers got the order, they waved the battle flag immediately, and then the battle drum sounded, and all the tens of thousands of Jin troops roared.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Ding, the second effect of Wang Meng's auxiliary skills is activated. When personally leading the army in battle, increase your own commander by 1 to 4 points, the current commander +3, the basic commander 98, and Wang Meng's commander rises to 101."

The East Gate under Wang Meng's charge was the first to attack Chengdu.

As soon as the order to attack was issued, 150 catapults and [-] well rails at the east gate were pushed by soldiers and kept approaching the tower.

But after advancing to a certain distance, the defenders on the tower took the lead in attacking, and flying stones, kerosene, and rockets flew all over the sky, but did not cause many casualties to the soldiers of the Jin army, because they all hid behind the equipment to avoid the attack.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Flying stones and kerosene continued to fall, but because the Jin army's catapults were scattered, only a small part was smashed.Although the catapults of the Shu army can obviously throw a longer distance by taking advantage of their height, things like catapults are limited by the level of ancient technology and cannot achieve precise strikes at all.

Therefore, as long as there are not a large number of catapults that are obviously concentrated together, it will be difficult for the catapults of the Shu army to really attack the catapults of the Jin army in a short period of time.

As for the fire oil dropped by the Shu army, it was quickly put out by groups of Jin army soldiers with sand, one by one.

"what……"

The unlucky soldiers were affected by the kerosene, and the flames ignited on their bodies, but they could not be extinguished, so they could only roll on the ground in pain.

When the comrades around saw it, they immediately poured the sand covered on their backs directly onto the soldiers, and also used the sand to put out the fire.

However, if it’s just a small-scale splash damage, it’s okay. If you get hit by kerosene like this and your whole body catches fire, even if you can be saved by luck, there’s a high probability that you’ll spend the rest of your life in pain. .In a situation like this, it would be happier to die there than to be rescued.

After paying the price of more than a dozen catapults being smashed, the Shu army on the tower also fell within the siege range of the Jin army's catapults.

Seeing this, Wang Meng made a decisive decision and shouted: "Order the catapult troops to throw fire oil."

If it's just pure killing, using a catapult to throw kerosene is more effective than using a catapult to throw flying stones.The probability of a flying stone thrown by a catapult hitting directly is not high. Even if it hits, it only hits one or two people.

But if it is projecting fire oil, the scattered fire oil is likely to burn a large number of enemies at once.Moreover, the chaos caused by projecting fire oil on the city wall will be even greater.

After Wang Meng's order was issued, the soldiers immediately loaded the catapult and loaded a jar of kerosene onto the catapult.

There are more than 130 catapults, each projecting three jars of kerosene, and one round is nearly four hundred jars.

Boom...boom...boom...

Nearly four hundred altars of fire oil fell on the city tower, and in an instant, a large area of ​​the city tower was ignited by the fire oil.

This is the difficulty of the road to Shu. The large siege equipment of the Jin army could not be directly transported from Siyong and Yongzhou to Yizhou. Instead, the Jin army brought craftsmen to Yizhou to build them on the spot.

However, due to the tense battle situation in Sizhou, Wang Meng was unwilling to wait for more time for the craftsmen to build more equipment, so the battle started directly.

Otherwise, if the Jin army directly used thousands of catapults to bombard the original Jingbei battlefield, the scene would definitely be more lively than it is now.

Many defenders of the Shu army were burned to the ground, unable to bear the pain and jumped from the tower.Rather than being burned to death by the flames in pain, it is better to give yourself a happy one.

As for the other defenders, under the command of Han Zeng, the guard of the east gate, they also used various means to put out the fire.

Fire oil is already a very common siege method in siege warfare. The defenders have already prepared a large amount of sand and stone on the city wall, ready to put out the fire at any time.It is difficult to capture a strong city by relying on fire oil alone.

"Continue to boom!" Wang Meng ordered with a blank face.

For this Yizhou war, all resources will be given priority to Yizhou.It is inconvenient to transport the siege equipment to Yizhou from outside.But in contrast, transporting kerosene is not as troublesome as those large equipment.Among the strategic materials prepared by the Jin army this time, kerosene occupied an important part of it.

Therefore, Wang Meng has enough confidence to keep bombarding the Shu army with kerosene round after round. Before the formal confrontation between the two armies, he will use his money ability to ruthlessly torture the Shu army!
It can be said that the Jin army has not formally attacked the city, but it has already caused nearly a thousand casualties to the Shu army!
"Catapults! Covered by bed crossbows! The siege troops open the way!"

After ten rounds of bombing, Wang Meng began to speak unhurriedly.

If you want to really attack a strong city, the first step is of course to fill up its moat!However, Wang Meng obviously has no real plans to fill up the moat!
A large number of long and thick planks were pushed out by teams of soldiers, and they were quickly erected on the moat, using the fastest way to build a dozen simple "bridges" for the brothers who were preparing to charge behind. "

Then, a large number of soldiers laid a thick layer of sand on these planks one after another.In this way, even if the enemies on the city wall wanted to burn these simple bridges with kerosene, they would have no chance of success.

After these simple bridges are successfully laid, the next step is the real knife-to-knife, the most tragic slaughter of flesh-to-blood!
"Jing Lan stepped forward to suppress! Tell General Xiong Wei that the drums will not stop, even if you die in battle until the last one is left, you must not retreat!"

"No!" The general didn't doubt him, and immediately went down to convey Wang Meng's order!
They had already experienced this kind of high-intensity siege battle once in Fucheng.This time, Wang Meng issued a similar order again, and the soldiers below did not hesitate at all!
