Chapter 30 Offense and Defense

Updated: 2010-05-29

Three days later, Bai Ban's army arrived at the city of Shangjun.In the past three days, they haven't been able to sleep peacefully for a single night. Every night, they are on guard against Fusu sending people to attack again, but since then, Fusu hasn't sent any more soldiers out.

Bai Ban suppressed his anger and came to the city in a chariot and shouted: "Please come out and see Fu Su."

Fusu was patrolling the wall at this time, when he heard someone calling him from outside, he exposed his head and said: "Who is the general, why do you dare to sit in the car aggressively when you see this prince?"

"The last general is Bai Squad. Please listen to my words, Prince Fusu, and surrender. It will save my Daqin warriors to die in battle."

"This is wrong, Hu Hai robbed me of the throne, and I raised troops because of the emperor's will, so in my opinion, General Bai led the troops and voted for me to help Su, and when I take down Xianyang, I will give you a general post. "

"You..." Bai Ban was choked by him and couldn't speak, and he said after a while, "Even if you and I are enemies, you can't be so unruly and attack us while my foothold is not stable, it's true What a gentleman does. Now that I am here, you go out of the city and fight our army."

Fusu looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, and said contemptuously: "Soldiers are deceitful. Whoever told you that you must fight in an upright manner. I am not as strong as you, so of course we have to resort to extraordinary means. Now you, Chen Bing, are here Now, if I go out of the city, I will be defeated by you. Since I know I will be defeated, why should I go out of the city. So you should come and attack quickly, and Fusu will fight your army at the top of the city." After finishing speaking, Fusu Su retracted his head without waiting for Bai Ban's answer, and at the same time ordered: "Get your bow and crossbow ready, as long as they dare to approach, shoot them with random arrows."

At this time, the sergeants guarding the city were completely accustomed to Fusu's unconventional playing of cards. After hearing his words, rows of crossbowmen were already standing on the edge of the wall, ready to shoot down arrows at any time.

Bai Ban brought chariots and cavalry today, and was excited to fight Fusu. Unexpectedly, Fusu didn't follow the rules at all, and let himself attack the city without even fighting.When he came here today, he didn't intend to attack the city, so he didn't have the tools to attack the city. Now he had to lead his troops back to open the tall city wall, but the anger in his heart was even stronger.

"Prince, if you avoid fighting instead of fighting, aren't you afraid of the low morale of our army and being ridiculed by him?" Li Wenming asked strangely on the side.

Fusu watched the Baiban army retreat because he didn't send troops, and said with a smile: "How can this lower the morale of our army? Our army is not as large as theirs. If we go out of the city and lose a battle, our morale will be really low. Now we If we can’t stick to it, they should be the ones who should be depressed. Our army has already won a game anyway, do some soldiers think that I am timid? As for ridicule, as long as we win against them, it’s fine, and the last laugher is the last Winners, it’s okay to make them laugh now.” After saying that, he ordered the guards to guard the city carefully and then went down to the city, knowing that the day shift’s attack would not come until tomorrow when everything was ready.

Early the next morning, the day shift attacked Shangjun City with heavy siege equipment.The ramming wood, which was as thick as Zhang Xu, was carried by dozens of strong soldiers and rushed towards the city gate of Shangjun.But when they ran an arrow away from the city wall, arrows rained down from the top of the city. In the blink of an eye, they were shot into hedgehogs, and several people were killed when the giant log rolled to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Bai Squad ordered people to shoot at the wall with strong bows and crossbows, but the wall was already prepared, and boards were set up at the crenel, leaving only wrist-thick gaps for the shooters to aim downward. and archery.The rain of arrows below just hit the wooden boards, none of them passed through those gaps.When the wooden planks were nearly nailed by sharp arrows, someone would replace the wooden planks with new ones. This not only prevented the enemy's arrows from shooting up, but also greatly reduced the consumption of arrows in the city.

At this time, the ladder behind the day shift was also brought up, and he hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot arrows crazily towards the top of the city. This time, the people on the wall couldn’t bear the wooden boards, so they had to remove the wooden boards, and everyone hid under the city wall. Stopped shooting arrows below.

Bai Ban saw that the opponent had been forced to fight back by his own arrow rain, so he ordered his men to rush up with the ladder, followed by several soldiers, ready to step on the ladder to attack once the ladder reached the tower.

The ladder was successfully erected on the top of the city, and the soldiers climbed up the ladder to the city wall with a roar.When Bai Ban saw this scene, he seemed to have seen that Shangjun City had been broken, and the anger in his heart had already come out.But what happened next made him unbelievable. Cans of black and yellow things were poured down from the top of the city, and the soldiers screamed and rolled down the ladder as soon as they touched the things.

"What is this?" Bai Ban was very surprised. He knew that when someone was defending the city, he would splash people with boiling water, but the color of these things was obviously not water, and it was impossible for Shangjun to have a large amount of oil.Just when he was wondering, a foul smell slowly drifted over, and smelling that smell made him want to vomit.

It turned out that the city wall had already been set up on fire according to Fusu's order, and a large vat was used to boil a vat of excrement juice. When the lid was covered, the thing still made people want to vomit, and now someone needs to scoop it up with an earthen pot People, it is true that these soldiers can't stand it.But when they saw this thing splashed on the enemy, they screamed and fell down. Those who threw dung didn't seem to realize how stinky it was, and poured cans of cans vigorously.

This stalemate of attack and defense lasted for several hours, and the Bai Squad army left more than 5000 corpses. Seeing that they couldn't fight for a while, they had to retreat temporarily.When the day shift saw the festering wounds of the soldiers drenched in feces, he realized how powerful this thing was.

One night, screams could always be heard in the entire camp. Those who were splashed but did not fall to death hoped that they fell to death simply. Their festering had changed from a single point to a large area. The doctor was already too busy running around but it was still too late.

Fusu in the city was also busy at this time, comforting the wounded soldiers and arranging how to dispose of the bodies of the dead soldiers.After finishing all this work, Fusu had time to find Li Heng and others to discuss tomorrow's affairs.

"Now there is not much dung in the city, and I'm afraid it will disappear after a few more splashes. We have to find another way to deal with them." Fusu looked at the crowd and said.

"Today's battle has caused Bai Ban to suffer a lot, and he may not attack again tomorrow, so we must be mentally prepared." Zhou Xing said.

"No, I know him well." Li Heng said suddenly, "He is reckless and impulsive. Although he fights bravely, he doesn't think flexible, so I think he will attack tomorrow."

Li Wenming also said: "My father also made such an evaluation of Bai Ban, saying that he has courage. What he is best at is fighting the enemy on the plain."

"Haha, no wonder he wanted to fight me when he came here. It turns out that he also knows his strengths." Fu Su said with a smile, "Since he will attack me tomorrow, I will prepare some other things for him to see. Bar."

The others looked at Fusu as if they were looking at a monster. Since today's "chemical weapons", they have admired Fusu's weird fighting methods.Now hearing him say there are other things, they unconsciously feel sad for those outside the city.

"Why are you looking at me like this? I also want to minimize the casualties of our army." Fusu said aggrievedly.

The next day, when Bai Squad came to the city again with troops, all the soldiers were already terrified.But when they looked up, they found that the top of the city was completely different from yesterday. The top of the city was raised a few feet with wood, and there were a few copper wheels on it, and they didn't know what it was for.If a modern person sees that thing, he will definitely scoff. Isn’t this just a pulley device, but for the army in the day shift, this completely unknown thing is more terrifying than yesterday’s dung juice. It is a "chemical weapon" that makes life worse than death. Today they say in their hearts that they are not afraid of that thing, which is a lie.But this unknown thing is even more frightening. People are often more afraid of what they don't know.

The knife in Bai Ban's hand pointed at the city wall and said, "Come on! We must take down Shangjun City today."

The soldiers rushed up again carrying the ladder, and the crossbowmen behind were also ready to suppress the bows and arrows above.But today, no arrow was released on the tower, and they rushed to the bottom of the city. "What happened? Did they abandon Shangjun and run away?" Bai Ban thought strangely.He knew that as long as one of his own soldiers climbed to the top of the city, several people would rush forward desperately, but the opponent let him rush to the bottom of the city without any defense at all, which did not conform to the tactics of defending the city at all.

When the soldiers climbed four feet away from the top of the city, Bai Squad once again seemed to see that the city had been breached.But the sound of a clapper awakened his dream, and with that sound, several logs as thick as the rams they wanted to hit the city gate were thrown down from the city wall, and hit the first group of soldiers who climbed up. On the head of the soldiers, those soldiers fell down before they could even scream, and some of them also knocked down the people below.

"Do you want to stop us from attacking the city with a few logs?" Bai Ban waved his command flag, and several people rushed up.But then he saw clearly that the log slowly rose after knocking the person down, and when it reached the same height as the city wall, it hung there. "What's going on here? Could it be that there are gods and men helping them?" Everyone was amazed and uncertain.But then a sharp-eyed person saw the problem: "General, they tied the stake to the frame with ropes, so they hung there, and the stake was also embedded with sharp objects."

"I said why the soldiers didn't scream when they fell down. It turned out that they were killed on the top." Although they knew what was going on, they couldn't do anything about it.

After attacking several times and killing 3000 people, Bai Ban had to retreat again. He never imagined that Fusu would have so many weird defensive weapons.

Seeing that they had retreated, Fusu ordered someone to hang the stake up.He thought of this tool through the bamboo basket hanging down from Shanggu. Because the wooden stake is too heavy and the rope method is durable, manpower is also afraid that it will not be able to bear it, so he thought of the pulley to save effort, and this time it defeated the day shift beautifully.

But Fusu knew that he was only in charge of defending the city and could rely on these things, but Meng Tian was fighting against an enemy three times his size, he didn't know what was going on there, only Meng Tian successfully dealt with the enemy, This battle is truly won.
