Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 374
Zhezhu Jiashi knows very well that if his own tribe does not take the lead as the vanguard, the rest of the tribes, large and small, will not follow orders.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave a heavy reward, looted for three days, women's money, whoever snatched it would belong to him.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

A group of screaming soldiers held their shields high and flocked like ants to the city wall of Wuwei in Liangzhou.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Li Chuyun shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

A dense rain of arrows poured down.

The effect achieved was negligible, and it did not cause much damage.

Most of the bows and arrows used by the Tubo people are riding bows, which are not as powerful as their crossbows and step bows in the Central Plains.

In the face of soldiers holding high shields, the power of riding a bow is really limited.

At this time, three crossbow bolts flew over the city, and the slender crossbow bolts shot towards the crowd.

The powerful penetrating power directly shattered the shields of the siege soldiers, and then nailed the people in place like nails.

Li Chuyun called out: "Okay!"

In detail, this ballista is still a product of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Because the structure is simple and the assembly is not complicated, the imperial court took into account the weakness of Liangzhou's city defense, specially disassembled the materials according to the materials, and transported them to Liangzhou in batches to assemble overnight.

The quantity is not much, only three have been assembled so far.

better than nothing.

Li Chuyun is in the Central Plains, and he has fought too many battles for wealth, and now he encounters this situation all of a sudden, and he is a little uncomfortable.

too poor.

The bow, the bow is not far away, the crossbow is not...

There are only three ballistas that have been outdated for hundreds of years...

Stones, rolling logs and the like were used to make up for the dilapidated houses that were demolished overnight.

Li Chuyun wanted to cry but had no tears.

But fortunately, the enemy is not rich, they are all a group of soldiers wearing cloth armor, paper armor or even no armor. In addition to the shields for anti-arrows, there are soldiers who don't even have weapons, just staring at the shields and rushing forward.

The moat of Wuwei City has already dried up due to years of disrepair, and it has been covered up by flying sand year after year.

The soldiers rushed to the tower easily.

They didn't have advanced siege equipment, and they used old flying ladders, which were directly erected on the city tower, and the soldiers worked hard to climb up step by step.

Wuwei City did not have a good way to deal with it.

It's very primitive to use a racket to beat soldiers climbing the city...

The soldiers who captured Jiashi had no training in ascent to the city.

Li Chuyun's soldiers in charge of defense are also soldiers from the Dragon Clan, Nigu, and Mi Nuo, and they have never practiced how to defend the city...

I don't know how to operate the racket.

Li Chuyun saw with his own eyes that his soldiers hit people with a racket, let alone the head, he couldn't even hold the racket firmly, and fell off the city wall.

People on both sides are like chickens pecking at each other, you come and go, it's a great fight.

Occupying the advantage of defending the city, Li Chuyun easily repelled wave after wave of attacks.

There was almost no need for command, and the opponent's pawns did not create any danger for them at all.

At first, Li Chuyun thought that the local government was not good at attacking cities, but gradually discovered that the other party was really bad.

In an instant, he also noticed the other party's intentions.

Li Chuyun pointed to the soldiers below, and said to Long Xu, the patriarch of the Zhelong clan who was also supervising the battle, "They are not soldiers!"

Long Xu said: "They are all shepherd slaves. How can soldiers be sent to the city at the beginning of the siege? They all use the shepherd slaves to consume the gold juice, oil and arrow stones in the city... When the gold juice, oil seeds and arrow stones in the city are all After the consumption is exhausted, it's the turn of the soldiers to attack! They are united by dozens of large and small tribes, and there are a lot of herdsmen. If this consumption continues, we will suffer a bit. But... Li Jiedu, don't worry, even if there are no such things, our Dragon Clan The brave warriors can also help the Celestial Dynasty and defend Wuwei City."

He spoke with pride.

Zhejiashi's behavior became more and more domineering, not to mention monopolizing half of the trade benefits, and he started to be a good person.

Use the money you get to buy small tribes from all sides to expand yourself.

Long Xu knew that if he continued, sooner or later he would be annexed by the other party. It would be better to submit to the Central Plains in exchange for prosperity and wealth.

Li Chuyun narrowed his eyes, looked at the mighty and endless enemy army formation outside the city, and asked: "So, there are quite a few shepherds in such a huge military camp opposite?"

Long Xu said: "It should be quite a lot. Casualties are unavoidable in a war. Putting the shepherds at the front can reduce casualties. We all fight like this here... as long as we win, the shepherds will be replenished. If we lose, the shepherds will be replenished." It will be someone else's. Let the Shepherd rush to the forefront, the most effective."

When he said this, there was no discomfort at all.

In their eyes, the life of a shepherd slave is really worth less than a cow or a horse.

Li Chuyun didn't speak, just showed a smile.

One of the enemy and us did not seriously attack, and the other did not seriously defend, and ended today's offensive with a little drama.

Jia Shi was arrested and returned to the barracks.

He is very satisfied with today's results.

It only took more than [-] shepherds to consume a lot of oil and arrows in the city.

"Pan Luo will support you tomorrow..."

"The day after tomorrow, Siduo will supervise you..."

He arranged the attacking candidates one by one.

Jiashi was worried that some people would not be willing to give up the shepherds, and he emphasized: "There are shepherds, women and money in the city. Now the Central Plains soldiers and horses have invaded Longyou, and they will come to Liangzhou in a short time. Who would dare Don't blame me for being cruel, and don't blame me for not sharing your money. How much effort you get, how much you get."

Regardless of whether it is true or false, everyone answered very happily.

Zhe Jia Shi didn't say anything: he set an example today, and he didn't believe that other people would dare to play tricks in front of him.

"Let's all go! Pan Luozhi stay!"

Zhezhu Jiashi watched the others leave the tent, and asked, "Against the Central Plains, do we really have a chance of winning?"

Pan Luozhi said without hesitation: "Yes, as long as we can take Wuwei City as soon as possible, we will have a chance to lead our troops to support Hehuang. We can also invite the Guiyi Army from Ganzhou Uighur, Shazhou, and Guazhou to fight against the Central Plains. Don't look at them being very attentive to the Central Plains. It means that the Central Plains did not threaten them, and the westward expansion of the Central Plains is a signal. As long as they are not stupid, they will not turn a blind eye to the Central Plains' westward expansion at this time."

Zhezhu Jiashi nodded heavily: "This Wuwei City is the key."

Pan Luozhi said with a bitter face: "The emperor of the Central Plains will win thousands of miles with this move, I underestimated him."

Zhe Jia Shi said: "It has nothing to do with you, we underestimated Li Chuyun. No one would have thought that he would win over many tribes and steal Wuwei City without making a sound."

He clenched his fists and said, "Five days, within five days, the oil and arrows in the city will be exhausted. At that time..."

His face suddenly became grim: "Li Chuyun, A Yudan, Long Xu, Niu Tianjin, Mi Banzhu, Ribuji Luodan, on the day the city is broken, Grandpa will dig out your hearts and serve you wine!"

After arresting Jia Shi to vent his anger, Pan Luozhi was asked to rest.

Zhe Jiashi was also busy for a few days, from when he learned that the Central Plains invaded Hehuang, Longyou, to when Li Chuyun stole Wuwei City and dispatched troops to attack in the future, there was not a single day of peace.

After the soldiers came to the city, they had nothing to do and went to bed early.

until the wee hours of the morning...

　Thank you book friend Chen Ermao for the [-] reward, thank you for your support!
