Chapter 174 Attacking Pengcheng
Chapter 1 was delivered today, please recommend!
At the head of Pengcheng City, Chen Deng sighed in his heart as he looked at the dark northern navy below the city.Sure enough, Zhang De was not someone who would wait for nothing. Just looking at his soldiers, he could feel a trace of murderous aura.It seems that Zhang De's reputation is really well-deserved.

Chen Deng suddenly felt that it would be a good choice for him to follow Zhang De. Maybe he could help Zhang De build a foundation like his ancestor Chen Ping.And Chen Deng felt for the first time that his father Chen Gui's decision this time might be wrong.Of course, the thought was only fleeting.

Looking at the city wall of Pengcheng, Zhang De frowned. This Pengcheng doesn't look easy to attack.At this time, Chen Gong came over and said: "My lord, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. I think we just arrived today. Don't be in a hurry to attack the city. We should set back and deal with our spirit first!"

Zhang De nodded, and said to Huang Zhong next to him: "General Huang, go and frustrate Xuzhou's soldiers!" Huang Zhong got the order to go out.

Chen Deng on the tower looked at a golden-armored general coming out of Zhang De's army, holding a big sword and riding a yellow leather horse. He was over forty years old and walked over majestically.The man came near the city gate and shouted loudly: "I am Huang Hansheng from Nanyang! How dare the rats in the city come out of the city to fight with me!" His voice was full of vigor and directly reached the ears of the soldiers in the city.

Nanyang Huang Hansheng is the number one general in the world.In front of the Hulao Pass, Lu Bu fought against Lu Bu. In the end, he used his arrow skills to overpower Lu Bu. No one in Xuzhou dared to challenge such a character, so the soldiers in the city just stretched their heads to wait and see, but none of them planned to go out to fight. Can't help it, Peng Cheng The morale of the Xuzhou soldiers was a little weaker.

Chen Deng could also see at this time that Huang Zhong had obviously come out to weaken his morale. If he didn't leave the station for a long time, his morale would definitely drop. But if he went out to fight, did he have any talents who could fight Huang Zhong.As a last resort, Chen Deng had no choice but to shout from the top of the city tower: "If Huang Zhongxiu is rampant, I won't be as brave as you. If you have the ability, you can attack!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he was upset. This Chen Deng scolded himself for being a brave man in a disguised form, so he continued to shout: "You rats in the city, wait for you to hide in the city, and you will not be able to be a coward!"

Seeing that Zhang De might not be able to attack the city today, Chen Deng scolded Huang Zhong on the tower because he was free anyway.Chen Deng had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, how could Huang Zhong scold Chen Deng, but at the end of the day, Huang Zhong was not only tired and dry, but also had a bad nose when Chen Deng scolded him.

Chen Deng, who had won for a while with his words, was not happy. The situation of Zhang De's troops today was deeply burned in Chen Deng's heart.Zhang De's soldiers are not only well-trained, but more importantly, they are well-equipped. In terms of equipment, his own people are simply incomparable with Zhang De's.At this moment, Chen Deng was just thinking, where did Zhang De get so much money to arm such a large number of troops?Could it be that the money falling from the sky is not worth it?
Of course, Chen Deng didn't know how much money Zhang De got from Lingdi's treasury, and the non-jewelry and jade articles were gradually sold by Wang Xiu through different channels. In addition, Qingzhou was originally a place where salt was produced, and Fang Dali's private salt was also given to Zhang De. Germany has brought a lot of profits, so looking at the princes in the world, the richest one should be Zhang De!

……

Early the next morning, Chen Deng was surprised by the sound of drums outside the city. When Chen Deng boarded the tower, he saw several infantry phalanxes outside the city. The people in front were holding huge shields, while those behind were carrying sandbags. , and there are a few toad carts mixed in the team, it seems that these people are here to fill the moat.

At this time, Zhang De waved his hand, and the drummer beat the drum immediately, and the first phalanx of thousands of people rushed over.The people in this phalanx were sent out by Zhang De to test them out. The people in front were wearing heavy armor, and the ones in front were holding huge shields that were as tall as a man. Carry sandbags.These people heard the drums and immediately rushed to the city wall.Seeing that these people rushed to the side of the moat.

"Archers get ready, let the arrows go!" Cao Bao yelled, and arrows rained down from the city.But the effect of the first round of arrows was not very good. I saw the people in the front row erect their shields and shoot the arrows on the shields. Some of the people who could shoot were not injured because the soldiers were wearing heavy armor. People, so in the first round of arrows, only a few unlucky sandbag-resistant soldiers were shot in the legs and fell down.

At this time, the shield soldiers stopped, and saw these heavily armored shield soldiers standing together three or five times, combining the big shields to form a small shield wall, and the soldiers carrying sandbags immediately squatted on the shield wall later.In this way, the bows and arrows on the city can't hurt anyone at all.

Seeing that no one could be hurt, Cao Bao immediately ordered people to stop shooting arrows, so as not to waste arrows. The moment the soldiers put down their bows and arrows, they heard Zhang Dejun shouting from the bottom of the city. Throw it down.

On the wall, Chen Deng looked at it with a smile and said, "General Cao, you don't need to use those shield soldiers. You just wait for the enemy to reach the moat before shooting arrows. You see, there are too many shield soldiers in the Beihai camp. It will take a few days until he fills up the moat!"

At this time, Zhang De also saw the scene just now. Although the attack did not cause much damage, Zhang De could see clearly that the defenders on the city were still well prepared.Thinking of this, Zhang De immediately ordered that the frog car and the soldiers attack together, and everyone dispersed.

The toad cart is a cart specially used to fill the moat. The cart is full of mud and stones, covered with cooked cowhide, and people push it under the cart. The advantage of this cart is that it is very strong and easy to manufacture. Greatly increased, plus the sand and gravel above, so the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the speed is too slow.

And Zhang De improved the toad cart based on the Momen classics and the knowledge of his later generations. Originally, people only pushed it inside, but Zhang De added a roller inside, and used the lever principle of the pulley to convert the cart into a Rear-wheel drive, which greatly improves the speed of action.However, it is also because of this improvement that it is doomed to the complexity of making this kind of toad car, so there are only more than 30 such toad cars in Zhang Dejun.

In the city, when Cao Bao saw the toad car moving, he had a look of course, he had expected it for a long time, but when he saw the toad car moving around, he couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Although Chen Deng was proficient in the art of war, after all, there had been no wars in Xuzhou for many years, so he was not as familiar with these siege equipment as Cao Bao, so he asked, "General Cao, what's wrong with supporting you?"

"Look, Mr. Chen, Zhang De's toad car seems to be a little different. His speed is not much different from that of soldiers! We have nothing to do with this toad car. If we go at this speed, I'm afraid this side The moat will be filled soon!" Cao Bao said.
