Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 231

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Under the city of Kuaiji, banners and flags cover the sky, and spears and spears are like forests.

Wearing crimson battle suits, the soldiers of the Wu army formed more than a dozen huge phalanxes, standing there majesticly, waving flags and shouting, like a vast ocean, with no end in sight!

This huge momentum is very frightening. At least the soldiers of the Vietnamese army on the top of the city couldn't help but tremble with fear when they saw it.

The chief general in charge of defending Kuaiji City was none other than Da Sima Shimai of the Yue Kingdom.

"Great Sima, the Wu army attacked our Kuaiji City, presumably Wu Wang Qingji returned with his body intact."

The lieutenant on one side sighed.

Shi Mai is not a fool, so he can naturally guess this matter.

"Hateful. Qingji, my life is not worth dying! Now that Wu Jun is putting on such a posture, is it possible that he is going to attack my Kuaiji City with all his strength?"

"Wu people are delusional!"

The lieutenant gritted his teeth and said, "I also have [-] garrison troops in Kuaiji City, and they are fighting against the King. If the Wu army invades, the King will certainly send troops to attack the Wu army's flanks!"

"I hope so. Huh? What's that?"

Shi Mai was stunned for a moment, only to see that from Wu Jun's phalanx, one after another of wooden lumps was suddenly pushed out, and they were simply assembled under the city.

This made the soldiers of the Vietnamese army, including Shi Mai, a little confused.

I saw that Wu Jun had placed a total of fifty trebuchets outside Kuaiji City, and laid them out one by one.

The trebuchet built by the state of Wu is the most primitive manpower trebuchet, requiring many soldiers to pull the rope together to throw the stone bullets in the leather case.

Fortunately, it has been simplified, so now each trebuchet of Wu Jun only needs fifty people to cast it, and it is equipped with six shoots.

Standing at the front of the phalanx, Qingji on the military chariot immediately pulled out the Longyuan Sword from his waist and pointed at Kuaiji City on the opposite side.

"Tabuchet, get ready!"

"Crack clap..."

After the stone bombs were loaded, a hundred shirtless soldiers with big arms and round waists immediately pulled the ropes and pulled up the tip of the cannon.

"put--"

Following Qingji's order, an unprecedented and magnificent siege battle was finally staged.

"Shhhhhh!"

The stone bullets pierced the sky and rushed towards Kuaiji City from a long distance.

Shi Mai's pupils shrank suddenly, he was frightened!
"Boom!"

The earth seemed to be trembling!
The whole city is crumbling!

I saw every stone bomb hit the city wall, and the city wall made of rammed earth was instantly sunken and pitted, as if it could be pierced into a big hole at any time!

What's even more frightening is that when a stone bomb is thrown over, it can smash a large living person into a pulp!
After the stone bomb burst, it could still injure several Vietnamese soldiers nearby.

"what!"

"What it is!"

"Ah! Leg! My leg! Broken!"

On the top of the city, there was howling.

The feeling of fear permeated all the soldiers of the Vietnamese army, and it was difficult to dissipate for a long time.

After Shi Mai came to his senses, he was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, not daring to show his head.

Some soldiers who tried to block with shields were useless after being hit by stone bullets. They were smashed to death alive, dripping with blood, and their death conditions were extremely miserable!
"Is this a new type of siege machine?"

Shi Mai finally reacted.

But, it's too late!

After several rounds of catapult attacks, Qingji waved his sword again and gave orders: "Shield array! Advance step by step!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull and murderous sound of war drums brightened the entire sky.

"The Huben Army, the Habayashi Army! Come out!"

"Bow and crossbow array, cover!"

"Kill!"

Qing Ji took down Kuaiji City in one go, and he did not hesitate to pay the price.

As the second of Wu's three elites, the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army directly took the lead!

When the soldiers of the Wu army who attacked the city approached Kuaiji City, the trebuchets in the distance finally stopped attacking, and then Wu Jun set up a ladder, pushed the cart, and rushed to the city wall of Kuaiji without hesitation.

"Fire arrows!"

"kill!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Pfft!"

"Uh ah ah ah!"

The rain of arrows all over the sky, like locusts crossing the border, shuttled back and forth between the upper and lower walls of the city of Kuaiji, and could shoot and kill several people from time to time.

The archers of the two armies are shooting at each other!
However, in the final analysis, the crossbowmen on Wu Jun's side are slightly better.

The Vietnamese archers defending the city could not suppress the attacking enemy at all.

"No retreat!"

"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

Shi Mai brandished the blood-stained bronze sword and roared fiercely.

In order to prevent a large-scale fleeing situation, Shi Mai killed several deserters in one breath.

However, how can the collapsed battle situation be resolved by killing a few deserters?
As more and more soldiers of the Wu army climbed to the top of the city, the Vietnamese army was defeated like a mountain!
Because the Wu army in charge of the siege is the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army!
They are all the most elite troops in Wu Kingdom!
Among them, almost every one of them is capable of one against ten!
Seeing more and more enemies rushing to the top of the city, while his own soldiers kept fleeing, Shi Mai finally realized that something was wrong, so he went down from the top of the city, jumped on the army chariot and drove away.

Seeing that the great Sima had run away for his life, the remaining soldiers of the Vietnamese army naturally didn't have much fighting spirit, so they ran away with their heads in their arms, or knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

"The descendants do not kill!"

"Put down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Wu Jun did not choose to kill them all, and all enemies who took the initiative to put down their weapons would survive.

"Crack clap..."

As the gate of Kuaiji City was opened, the crimson banner representing Wu Jun was also planted on the top of the city.

Kuaiji, an ancient city with a history of more than a thousand years as the state of Yue, finally fell and became a city under the rule of the state of Wu!
……

When Kuaiji City fell, Yue Wang Yunchang was still leading his army to harass the Wu army's flanks.

But Qingji had expected that Yunchang would have such a trick, so he dispatched Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others with [-] troops to ambush on the mountain road of Kuaiji Mountain to stop the Vietnamese army rushing to rescue Kuaiji City.

After half a day of fighting, the Vietnamese army failed to break through after all.

Seeing the situation, Yun reluctantly led his troops back to the Kuaijishan camp.

"Your Majesty!"

When Yunchang returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, he only saw Shimai, whose blood-stained robe and helmet had been left behind, knelt on the ground with a look of shame on his face.

Seeing Shi Mai appearing here unexpectedly, Yun Chang couldn't help but thump, thinking that something was wrong.

"Big Sima, you..."

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty! Kuaiji City has fallen!"

"what?"

Yun Chang felt dizzy for a while, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.

"Father!"

Gou Jian who was standing on the side quickly supported Yun Chang.

Shi Mai is a smart man, and he knows that Yunchang will be punished if Kuaiji City falls, so he rescues the son Goujian first, and runs away together to mitigate his crime.
