Great Zhou Tianzi

Although it was a tentative siege, the Qin army still showed strong combat effectiveness. The Yunlou was pushed to the corresponding position, the flap was opened immediately, and dozens of crossbow arrows were shot at the same time, shooting down a group of archers on the city wall.

The strong crossbows of the Qin army are well-made and have a high degree of shooting accuracy. The pure wooden bows in the hands of Dazhou soldiers are no match.The archers on both sides suppressed each other, and the siege infantry took the opportunity to rush to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder and began to climb up.

"No way, I rushed to the bottom of the city so smoothly, the defense standard of Wangcheng can't be so low?" Xiong Ba was taken aback.

Ji Jie smiled and said, "I don't think it should either. I guess this is Ji Jia's plan to lure Qin Jun into it!"

What set?Ji Jie didn't say it clearly, only Ji Xueling understood the meaning.

Qin Jun was all brave, biting their weapons, holding a shield in one hand and cooperating with two legs in the other, climbing up desperately, rolling logs and rocks, failing to stop their progress.

Soon, the first Qin soldier climbed up the city wall. Before he could stand still, he was stabbed into the body by several spears at the same time.

More and more Qin soldiers climbed up, and fought with Zhou Jun, blood flowed immediately, and a fresh life died almost every second, which undoubtedly revealed the cruelty of war.

During the Qin Zhongjun formation, the chief general Meng Ao sat on horseback and said to Sima Jing beside him, "The Great Zhou Royal City is not so vulnerable, can it not stop even a tentative attack on the city?"

Sima Jing said with a smile: "The royal city has long been dilapidated and has not been repaired for several years. You can see that the trebuchet alone has caused fatal damage to it! Coupled with General Huwei, the soldiers worked together to take down this A city is a piece of cake!"

Meng Ao frowned slightly, he knew very well that Sima Jing was flattering him.

In Meng Ao's view, things shouldn't be so simple, otherwise Da Zhou would have been wiped out long ago. Decades ago, the feudal states gave the emperor a bit of a treat, but now no one takes them seriously Son, if you want to bully, bully.

"Haha, the city gate building will be taken down immediately!" Sima Jing said with a smile: "Once the city gate building is taken down, the city gate will be opened, and the general can lead an army into the royal city!"

After a while, the vanguard took down the city gate, and the city gate opened wide, and Qin soldiers rushed in.

"General Meng, order to charge!" The generals asked for a fight one after another.

"Don't worry, let's see!" Meng Ao was not dazzled by such an easy victory, he said blankly: "Whoever dares to act rashly without my order will be dealt with by military law!"

The generals all showed disappointment. In their view, the famous Meng Ao is nothing more than that. How can such a timid person achieve great things?

What happened next surprised all the generals. The 3000-man siege force was blocked at the gate of the city and could not get in. Only more than 1000 people entered.

"It's not good, hurry up and withdraw!" Meng Ao ordered.

There is only one explanation for this situation-the Wengcheng, Zhou Jun built a Wengcheng behind the city gate.

The so-called urn city is taken from the meaning of catching turtles in the urn. After entering the urn city, most of them never return.Sure enough, after Qin Jun rushed in, dozens of oil tanks fell from the sky, and the fire ignited immediately, and the archers on the inner wall kept firing arrows.

The Qin army began to retreat, and less than one-tenth of the soldiers who had entered the Wengcheng escaped, and nearly a thousand people died under the fire and arrow rain.

Looking at the black smoke rising from a distance, Ji Jie smiled and said to Ji Xueling: "Ling'er saw it, that prince brother of yours still has some tricks, Wangcheng won't be lost for a while!"

Ji Xueling nodded and said, "I never thought that in such a short period of time, my brother and the others could build an urn city."

The Qin army's attack was blocked, and more than 2000 people were lost. Presumably, they will not attack the city again today. Ji Jie suggested: "Let's go back, the spies should send back the secret report!"

Meng Ao glanced at the faces of the generals with his cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone else who asks this general to order the charge now? I will not stop anyone who wants to die, and he can lead the troops to rush there now! "

The generals lowered their heads one after another, joking, that is the Wengcheng that cannibalize people without spit out bones, forgive you, no matter how many people rush over, it will be in vain.

"Return to the camp!" Meng Ao turned his horse's head and said, "Let's attack the city tomorrow!"

The good news reached the ears of King Zhou Nan and all the ministers, and they were so happy that they couldn't hold their tongues together. Before the war, the ministers of the peace party also congratulated the emperor, and the high-pitched voices kept coming and going. The words Shenwu and so on were repeated over and over again in these populations.

Ji Jia excitedly came to King Zhou Nan, knelt on one knee and said, "Father, my son has fulfilled his mission!"

King Nan of Zhou personally lifted him up, and said excitedly, "My son has worked hard. He defeated the Qin army in the first battle, and demonstrated the prestige of my great Zhou. Come, sit with your father!"

……

The spies reported that Lu Buwei mentioned the Zhaocheng matter to the King of Qin several times, but the King of Qin never expressed his opinion, so he stopped mentioning it. As for whether Meng Ao will attack Ji Jie, it is still uncertain.

"It's probably more ominous than good!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Once the king's city falls, Meng Ao will lead his troops to come. The King of Qin has the heart to annex the Great Zhou, so naturally he will not allow our kingdom within a kingdom to exist!"

"Then come on, and make sure that Qin Jun never comes back!" Ji Jian clenched his fists and said.

The Qin army was newly defeated, and Meng Ao was not a stickler. The purpose of retreating was to formulate a new plan. It would be ridiculous for anyone to believe that an urn city could stop the tiger and wolf Qin army.

"General Zhao, you lead two thousand cavalry out of the city secretly!" Ji Jie issued a battle order.

Zhao Ling was overjoyed. The battle of defending the city had nothing to do with his cavalry. He didn't expect to have a task so soon.

Ji Jie pointed to a point on the map and said, "Bring seven days' worth of dry food, and lay in ambush here, and intercept and kill the Qin army's food transport team. Bring back all that can be brought back, and burn all that cannot be brought back!"

"Decree!" Zhao Ling turned and left.

It has been ten days since the Qin army set off. The food they carry can last half a month at most. The food transportation team will arrive soon, and the robbery of its food road will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions.

The next day, dozens of giant trebuchets were assembled. Meng Ao came to the position with his personal guards, looked back at the city wall hundreds of meters away, and ordered: "Start the attack, aim and hit me!"

The sound of the catapult sounded, and then the catapult roared, and the ball weighing dozens of kilograms hit the city wall.

The pawns stayed further away, showing no signs of attacking.

"Boom...boom..."

The stone balls kept hitting the city wall, cracks appeared in the city wall, and it began to crumble after a while. Ji Jia ordered the defenders to retreat to the urn city.

Meng Ao's purpose was to smash a hole in the city wall with a trebuchet. Without the outer barrier, the Wengcheng would lose its function.
