Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 206 Siege
noon.

Outside the city of Zhending, inside the camp of the Qin army, there was faint smoke rising from the kitchen at this time, and it was time for the Qin army to bury the pot for cooking.

After lunch, at the foot of Zhending City, there were [-] to [-] soldiers of the Qin Army displayed under the city, and these were not all real elite soldiers.

Although Li Chen raised an army of 10,000+, after the troops were divided into three groups, his main force was only [-] to [-].Although the strength of the army is not large, it is also quite a lot.

You must know that Li Chen's soldiers are different from Cao Jun's soldiers. The Qin Army soldiers under Li Chen's command are professional soldiers, while Cao Jun's soldiers are field soldiers.If it is a head-on battle, one soldier of the Qin army can be worth two or three soldiers of the Cao army.

Under Zhending City, the [-] to [-] soldiers of the Qin Army have a shocking morale all over their bodies. This is the soul of the army, the soul of the Qin Army.

At the forefront of these [-] to [-] Qin troops, the leader was Qin Wang Li Chen, and next to Li Chen was Chen Qingzhi in a white robe.

Famous teachers and generals should not be in prison, and thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes.Chen Qingzhi, the white-robed army god of the human city, was the actual commander of this army just now.

Li Chen's biggest advantage is that he dares to employ people and knows how to employ people, and he never likes to be like a principal in later generations, who likes laymen to command experts.

What Li Chen likes most is to be the hands-off shopkeeper. Let Chen Qingzhi take the lead in this match, which is far better than Li Chen's own lead.

Under Zhending City, Chen Qingzhi was wearing a white Confucian robe with a long sword hanging from his waist.Chen Qingzhi is a Confucian general, so even during the war, he did not wear armor.

Chen Qingzhi raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Today, Zhending City will be destroyed."

"The real city must be broken."

"The real city must be broken."

"The real city must be broken."

The soldiers of the Qin Army behind Chen Qingzhi roared at the top of their lungs.This is the momentum that a strong army can have just now.

"Break the city."

After holding the long sword in Chen Qingzhi's hand for a while, he saw a soldier carrying a ladder rushing towards the loess city wall in Zhending County.In front of these soldiers carrying ladders, there were also some sword and shield soldiers holding round shields.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At the same time, Cao Jun in Zhending City would naturally not watch Qin Jun attack the city.I saw a dense rain of arrows shot from the city wall, and landed on the soldiers carrying the ladders.

Just as a soldier carrying a ladder was shot at the front foot, someone immediately made up for it.However, the closer the ladder was to the city wall, the more casualties there were.At this time, Chen Qingzhi's order was issued again.

"Cover." With a wave of the long sword in Chen Qingzhi's hand, the order was conveyed.

"Crack, creak, creak."

There was only a sound of wheel axle rotation, and one after another catapults were pushed out from the rear of the army, and beside the catapults, there were dozens of eight-ox crossbows.

At this time, after some probing just now, Chen Qingzhi had already judged the location of Cao Jun's archers on the city wall.After the catapult and eight-ox crossbow were in place, Chen Qingzhi immediately let them aim at the archer's position on the city wall.

"put."

With Chen Qingzhi's order, countless boulders the size of human heads and crossbow arrows as thick as arms were shot towards the city wall.

The power of the crossbow bolts of the Baoxu crossbow is beyond everyone's imagination. These crossbow bolts can easily shoot through the loess wall stacks of the Zhending city wall, and then shoot through the armor of Cao Jun on the city wall, piercing them together like candied haws.

Each ballista with eight oxen crossbows can fire seven bolts at the same time, the largest of which can completely ignore the defense of the city wall.After dozens of ballistas fired more than ten rounds in succession, Cao Jun's archers had been completely misfired.

"What kind of crossbow is this? It's so terrifying?" Cao Ren couldn't help being shocked when he saw the crossbow that pierced through the wall, pierced three soldiers into sugar gourds, and nailed them to the gate tower. .

Not to mention anything else, Cao Ren had never seen such a sharp crossbow arrow in his more than ten years of military career.Such a powerful crossbow bolt is enough to be called invincible in the world.

"The crossbow of the Qin army is invincible in the world." On the city wall, Cao Ren couldn't help sighing.

Although the two sides are now rivals, Cao Ren has to admit that Qin Jun is really the only one in this big man with a crossbow arrow that can shoot through the city wall.

You must know that although the city walls of Zhending County are made of rammed loess, the loess mixed with glutinous rice juice is also extremely hard.

Soon, Cao Ren also discovered that the Qin army under the city was a master.No matter how many positions he changed the archer phalanx, every time they fired arrows, at most three rounds, the Qin army under the city would be able to find the position of the archer phalanx on the city wall from the point where the arrow fell.Then, it was a round of heavy crossbow bolts.

Before the soldiers of the Qin Army began to climb the city wall, the two sides had a long-range contest. In this long-range contest, Cao Jun can be said to have lost in a mess.

It has to be said that Cao Ren is definitely one of the few generals under Cao Cao who can stand alone, after discovering that the group of archers is vulnerable to attack.Cao Ren immediately thought of a countermeasure. He divided the archers on the city wall into small teams of five or sixty people and hid behind the city wall. Then he ordered the sword and shield soldiers to erect a large shield in front of the archers. shot.

Cao Ren divided the crossbowmen into small teams, which made it impossible for Chen Qingzhi to judge the position of the archers.However, if the same archers do not shoot in groups, then the threat they can bring to the soldiers carrying the ladders below the city will be very small.

After Cao Jun's crossbowmen misfired, Qin Jun's soldiers rushed under the city wall of Zhending County carrying ladders.

In a short while, a frame of ladders was erected on the city wall, and the upper end of the ladders was fitted with an iron hook. The soldiers on the wall pushed back.

In a short period of time, more than a dozen ladders were put on the city wall, and groups of Qin soldiers holding shields and long knives immediately began to climb up the spear one after another.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After a while, I saw more than a dozen ladders, each of which was covered with densely packed soldiers of the Qin Army, just like ants climbing a tree.

They held a round shield in one hand and blocked their heads to avoid the damage of arrows and rocks. With long knives in their mouths, they kept holding on to the ladder and climbed up quickly.

In this era, the first batch of soldiers who could climb the city wall were called Xiandeng.Those who can act as the first climbers are undoubtedly the bravest soldiers in the entire army.

The scattered archers on the city wall are already difficult to effectively kill the soldiers climbing on the ladder.At this time, Cao Ren from the city wall waved his hand and gave an order: "Pull stones and roll logs, smash them for me."
