King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 875 Attacking Chang'an (4)

Under the gaze of the opposite city, the height of the ice wall is built up bit by bit. With the operation of tens of thousands of troops, the height of the ice wall is already very high in one day. Although it is still not as high as the city wall of Chang'an City, it is still He looked straight at the Shuo Jun on the opposite wall.

"What the hell is this Li Lin going to do?" What bothered Liu and the defenders in Chang'an the most was that they knew what this game was about, but they just didn't know what the game was about. What's the use?Wang Chang covered his face in deep thought, thinking about the function of the ice wall. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He muttered, "Could it be that Li Lin still wants to surround Chang'an City with this ice wall!"

After thinking about it, this is more reliable, "Hiss..." After sucking the snot that was about to come out, Wang Chang covered half of his face and said, "It would be great if it was like this!"

Where is Chang'an City, there is absolutely enough food and grass in it. It would be great if Li Lin didn't attack by force, but surrounded it. If he doesn't leave here in Chang'an, he will fight when it is warmer. What is the situation in the world at that time? Not necessarily, if you want to bypass Chang'an, think about going to Tongguan or somewhere else, that's fine, when Li Lin and Liu He decide the winner, then you will have the bottom line, Liu He wins the most Alright, if Li Lin wins, he can just surrender, so he can still survive...

Wang Chang thought it would be good, but the ideal will always be full, and the reality is still the cold winter, just like that, another day has passed, under the night sky, looking at the dark ice wall, still reflecting the moonlight , Wang Chang is much more relaxed than the previous two days, it seems that he is really all right!

Nothing happened all night, the cold wind howled, and a little snow fell, but it stopped soon, and the sky gradually brightened. Early in the morning, the soldiers under Li Lin's command came again as if they were going to work. The wall is blocked, but the soldiers on the opposite wall can still see the music. The enemy is still building the wall, but it has widened the ice wall.

On the third day, when Wang Chang and the soldiers under his command thought that Li Lin would continue to build the wall, the nightmare came.

"Prick, prick, prick..."

"Eh?" It was early in the morning again, and the soldiers on the top of the city found the shadow of the enemy again, but this time, it was really different, because they saw the poles straightening up one by one, and they were slowly approaching.

The soldiers on the top of the wall quickly wiped the eye feces from the corners of their eyes, and then looked down. Yes, they were indeed large objects. The soldiers didn't know much about them, and they didn't know what they were. They immediately shouted to the people beside them: "Quick! Quick! Go call the general! Go call the general!"

There was no need for him to call at all, someone still flew out and called Wang Chang who thought he was fine. Similarly, Wang Chang climbed to the top of the wall rubbing his sleepy eyes.

On the opposite side, the warriors of the Huns dragged the catapults made by Huns little by little against the wind. The ground was covered with snow, so it was only necessary to flatten the front and add the catapults to the wooden planks. , just like a sled was pulled forward by the soldiers, and then pulled up the earth wall bit by bit.

And this earthen wall is learned, and of course it was designed by Li Lin. It is very simple. I still don't believe in the safety of this earth wall, but after pulling it for a while, sure enough, the ice made the earth wall extremely stiff and very strong, so Baibai pulled up the catapults one by one with confidence.

The earth wall is not very high, but based on the range calculated the day before yesterday, Li Lin drew two pictures that the cause did not understand. In fact, it was just a parabola and the landing point was calculated. After all, the trebuchet made by Mihu was the same as Li Lin The professional craftsmen under his command are far behind, and the range and power are not good enough. This is what Li Lin is most worried about after the shell problem is solved, but he was too excited when he saw the trebuchet just now, and he forgot that there is something wrong with it. There are so many deficiencies, and after hearing Brother Bao's method, Li Lin also remembered that when Cao Cao fought Ma Chao, he only used the ice wall as the main city. The moat in the city is even more laborious. Li Lin used a method similar to this to suppress the morale of Gongsun Zan's army. Now that it is winter, he combined it with Cao Cao's method of forming a city with ice walls. to make up for.

"This... this is a trebuchet!" When the trebuchets on the opposite wall had already started to line up, Wang Chang finally remembered what kind of thing this was, but it was too late. It's too late to come out.

"Quick! Quick! Hide!" Wang Chang howled suddenly, like a dead mother.

At the same time, Li Lin under the city had already stepped up the steps to the earthen wall, and saw the chaos above Chang'an City.

"The trebuchet! That's the one that's so special!"

"What's the matter, get down, get down, and get behind the wall! Quick!"

Wang Chang is a person who is extremely afraid of death, so he quickly climbed to the steps leading down from the top of the city, lying down very low, and showing his head from time to time to see if there was anything flying over.

Li Lin's trebuchet is no stranger to many of Liu He's soldiers, because after all, someone fought with Li Lin's Youliao army. They have seen the power of this trebuchet, even if they haven't seen it, they have never heard of it. Well, so on the top of the city, the defenders screamed, fled and hid indiscriminately.

But seeing the dramatic scene in the city, Li Lin smiled faintly, and looked back. On both sides, a total of ten trebuchets had been lined up, and the soldiers operating on both sides, including Mihu, looked at Li Lin one after another. It's too short, it can only be made as a piece, but for the defenders in this city, it's enough!

"Shua!" Li Lin pulled out the forest knife from his waist. The cold light of the forest knife reflected the morning light. Li Lin shouted: "Reload!"

"Crackling!" As soon as everyone listened to Li Lin's order, they saw the towering levers of the trebuchet tilted down one by one, and the soldiers on the side put the frozen mud on one end of the lever, which was like a big bowl. inside the object.

"Hey!" Li Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, and then his face immediately became ferocious, and he roared angrily, "Let go!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The cannonballs made of ice and mud hit the opposite Chang'an city head one after another, making a short parabola in the air, and the shells landed on the top of the tall Chang'an city wall.

"Ah! It's coming! It's coming!" Several unlucky people on the top of the city kept shouting.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a violent impact, and no one shouted anymore. The frozen mud was no worse than rocks. Some of them fell apart under the huge impact force, and the splashed residue was not small. Hit the soldiers hiding aside.

"Damn it! What's going on! How could this Li Lin have a trebuchet!" Wang Chang listened to the deafening voice next to his ears, and cursed, but it was all nonsense. The trebuchet was invented by Li Lin, although he himself People are not around, but isn't it normal to create them?
Wang Chang immediately yelled: "Everyone hide, stand up for me, you must stand up, don't worry, the enemy will not rush up in such a situation!" Wang Chang also understood the tactics of the trebuchet, that is, To scare people with momentum, as long as they hide properly, they will not kill too many people. Hearing the screams, Wang Chang had no choice but to comfort the crowd first, saying: "The enemy will not always use trebuchets! Don't worry! Be sure to hold on! Brothers!"

Although this is the case, the soldiers on the top of the city were frightened, but what about the soldiers under the city?Do you really think that Li Lin's formation is that simple?
Li Linlin swung his sword horizontally, bowed fiercely horizontally, and said, "Get out!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" The chants sounded one after another, and one by one the Hun soldiers came over from the earth wall, each holding a weapon that was not a weapon, and the steel knife at the waist was still in the scabbard. Among them, the shield is behind the back, and the hands are raised for nothing else. It turns out that they are ice bricks!The square clods, after being poured with water, turned into bricks, bricks half the height of a person.

"General! The enemy army is rushing up!" Suddenly someone howled, as if announcing a funeral.

"What!" Wang Chang was shocked, and jumped up all of a sudden. Ten catapults are still too few. The Chang'an city wall is tall and long. I was a little scared, but after a while, the fear had passed. Looking at it again, although the city was in a mess, there were not so many people who were smashed to death.

The bold ones poked their heads out and saw that the soldiers of the Huns were coming up, and they immediately yelled out. Wang Chang also came over to take a look, so what else did he say? He was fooled by Li Lin. Wang Chang immediately shouted: "Quick! Archer, shoot me! Shoot!"

In this way, the archers on the top of the city dodged the flying shells, and shot arrows down the city indiscriminately, but don't forget, even if you shoot well, every Hun soldier below will raise their arrows. Standing on the half-person-high brick, he was not afraid of the arrows on Checheng's head at all. The soldiers shot at the brick surrounded by ice, crackling, but they couldn't hurt the Xiongnu warriors below.

"Okay!" Li Lin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It really worked, ha ha! Did you think the protagonists this time are trebuchets! The real protagonists are them!"

Li Lin looked at the soldiers holding up bricks one by one, approaching the city wall of Chang'an step by step.

"Drink!" Many soldiers lined up in a neat line, shouted lightly, and put ice bricks under the city, and the Hun soldier quickly pulled out the shield behind his back and raised it over his head...
