The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 21
Huang Wen worked hard and rushed back to Yanzhou Mansion as quickly as possible.

At this time, Su He was inspecting the Yanzhou military camp.

According to his prediction, the armies of the two kings of Liang and Wu would arrive at the city in less than two days. At this time, it would be good for the army in Yanzhou City to increase its strength.

When he saw Huang Wen rushing into the school grounds, he couldn't help but feel confused.

Because according to the plan, he should be entangled with King Liang's army at this moment.

Is it possible that Laiyang County was captured so quickly?

Before Su He could ask questions, Huang Wen said breathlessly: "Sir, please send someone to Nanshan Village as soon as possible. Lord Snake Fairy has taken action and won several carts of food, grass and ordnance for us!"

"what!"

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Su He's eyes after staying up all night. He grabbed Huang Wen's arm excitedly and said tremblingly: "You, say it again!"

"Students can say it several times. Today was supposed to be the day when we intercepted the forward of King Liang's army, but King Liang's army encountered an ambush on the mountain road. Hundreds of people were killed or injured, and they also left behind food, grass and baggage. At this moment, those things are all here It’s on display in the village!”

"Okay, okay, Lord Snake Fairy has solved my urgent need again!"

Su He's tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and he almost fell to the ground.

Huang Wen quickly held his arm to prevent him from falling.

Su He then ordered an army of a thousand men to follow Huang Wenxing and hurried back to Nanshan Village at night, and then traveled at night to transport all the food, grass and baggage of Zhao Chu's army to Yanzhou Prefecture.

Leaving aside food and grass, the weapons and bows alone are enough to expand the Yanzhou Prefecture's army by another battalion!
What is even more exciting is that five disassembled crossbows are loaded on a certain frame.

This thing is so powerful that it can be called a magical weapon whether it is defending or attacking a city.

There happened to be a craftsman in Yanzhou Prefecture who had retired from the Shenji Camp of the Great Sui Dynasty and returned home. A bed crossbow of this level was like a toy in his hands.

Soon five bed crossbows were installed on the north city head of Yanzhou City.

In order to prevent the bed crossbow from being discovered by King Wu's army in advance, Su He also specially used bricks and stones to heighten the city walls in these places, which looked like temporary lookout posts.

As expected, King Wu's army arrived outside Yanzhou City on time one day later.

It's just that their team looked a little embarrassed compared to Zhao Chu's army.

This is all due to the trap Huang Wen set up halfway.

Those trenches were not just dug. Huang Wen also ordered people to lay a thin layer of wooden boards over the trenches. It would be no problem for a few people to pass through, but it would be unlucky if a large group of cavalry passed by.

Moreover, there were ambushes arranged by Huang Wen around the trench, and those homemade tripping ropes also caused King Wu's army to suffer a lot.

The general led by King Wu is called Tuman. He is a well-deserved fierce general. He holds a Xuanhua mountain ax and has a sturdy body!
Looking at the Yanzhou City appearing in front, Tu Man spat into the palm of his hand and said: "His grandma's has finally arrived. I chopped off the cartilage along the way until my hands became weak. I passed on my military order and the infantrymen brought siege hammers." Go up first, and the cavalry will follow behind. Once the city gate is breached, go in and fight. Whoever is shot to death by arrows from the city will be unlucky. The one who survives will drink and eat meat with me!"

Tu Man's commanding style is very different from Zhao Chu's, but there is one thing that the two are very similar to, that is, they must rush to the front in every battle.

It was precisely because of their daring nature that the kings of Liang and Wu ordered them to attack Yanzhou Prefecture.

If it were other generals who fought steadily, they might not be able to capture Yanzhou Prefecture even if they were given three days.

Following Tu Man's roar, the mighty soldiers pushed the huge siege hammer towards Yanzhou City.

The archers also followed behind them, ready to shoot the first wave of arrows at the top of the city.

However, the infantry advanced more than ten feet and there was no response at the top of Yanzhou City.You must know that they have entered the range of the archers at this moment. Even if the defenders of Yanzhou City are a bunch of idiots, they should not be unable to judge this!
Tu Man had been fighting in the army for several years, and instinctively felt something was wrong.

But he did not ask the soldiers in front to stop, but urged them to continue moving forward.

He didn't believe that there would be any surprises in attacking a small Yanzhou city!
At the same time, he was also afraid that Zhao Chu in the south would take Yanzhou City before him.

On top of Yanzhou City, Su and Huang Wenzheng led thousands of archers to wait for their approach.

When the opponent's battering ram was only thirty feet away from the city gate, Su He suddenly raised the long knife in his hand and shouted sharply: "Shoot!"

Whoa!

Many archers instantly poked their heads out from the lookout at the top of the city, and a dense rain of arrows instantly pounced on the soldiers below.

The soldiers who had experienced many battles reacted extremely quickly, raising hundreds of shields and blocking most of the arrows.

But as a result, the speed of the battering ram's advance slowed down.

The temporary city wall was pushed down by the soldiers on the top of the city, revealing five assembled crossbows at the rear.

Tu Man, who had already rushed into the battlefield, was shocked when he saw the bed crossbow on the top of the city, and shouted angrily: "The people of King Liang have entered the city!"

This kind of bed crossbow cannot be equipped on a city like Yanzhou. The only explanation is that the people of King Liang have captured Yanzhou and use it as a stronghold to eradicate him.

But when Tu Man came, he had already issued a military order in front of the King of Wu. Even if the man on top of the city was really Zhao Chu, he would still have to fight.

Fortunately, he brought enough siege equipment this time, so this battle is not necessarily lost.

And if it is really the people of King Liang who enter the city, then they will definitely suffer some losses, and his people have been running all the way and their morale is strong. It is easy to take Yanzhou City in one go!

From the beginning to the end, Tu Man never thought that Zhao Chu's army would be defeated by the defenders of Yanzhou City, and he seized these bed crossbows from him.

Then Tuman's camp rolled out ten ladders in a mighty manner, and the soldiers carried them to Yanzhou City.

That's right, he is preparing to attack the city.

Whoosh!
A thick crossbow arrow came from the top of the city and instantly shattered a ladder.

Zhao Chu didn't carry many crossbow arrows, so every one had to be used on the blade.

The crossbows fired continuously, blasting six ladders to pieces in one breath, but four of them still came to the city.

After the soldiers set up the ladder, they began to climb the ladder vigorously.

The battering ram was also advancing slowly and was about to reach the city head. Su He had to pour the remaining crossbow arrows towards the battering ram.

But the crossbow arrows were not enough to break through the heavy battering ram.

With no other choice, Su He had to use the last tactic he wanted to use, which was to ask the soldiers who had been waiting in the city for a long time to open the city gate and go out to destroy the battering ram.

But as long as he does this, Tu Man will definitely find that they are not King Liang's troops, and Tu Man's offensive will become even more fierce.

Seeing that the battering ram was only fifteen feet away from the city gate, Su He gritted his teeth and decisively ordered the city gate to be opened to meet the enemy!
