My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?
Chapter 47 I have never fought such a strange battle in my life!
"Mozi" said that when the generals of both sides are of equal ability, facing a conventional city defended by four thousand regular troops, it will take a hundred thousand regular troops to attack in order to win.
The troops in Xicheng were not enough to go out to fight in the field.
But if you just face the 100,000 Qin army led by Ying Chengyu, there is no problem in defending for a few months.
Even if the siege begins today, can we really capture the city tonight?
Moreover, isn't our plan to pretend to surrender first, and then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch an attack?
A lot of questions popped up in Yang Hu's head.
But Ying Chengyu had given the order, so Yang Hu could only accept the promise: "Wei!"
The second quarter of the day (13:30)
With the efforts of the baggage battalion, six flying stone carts rose from the ground outside the north gate of Xicheng.
More than ten pairs of simple ladders have also been built and sent to the advance camp.
On the north gate of Xicheng, looking at the Qin army's layout from a distance, Chen He frowned: "What does General Qin want to do?"
"Before the army camp is firmly established, the supply camp will be mobilized to build siege equipment."
"All six flying stone chariots fell outside the North City Gate. Doesn't this clearly tell our army that the North City Gate is the main attack gate and should be heavily guarded?"
No matter how he thought about it, Chen He could not imagine the purpose of Qin Jun's arrangement.
My brain is almost dry-burned!
Zhang Da looked at the flag of the Qin army in the distance and said thoughtfully: "If my guess is correct, the leader of this army is Lord Chang'an of the Qin State."
"This man has a good tongue and a sharp tongue. I have never heard of this man going to the battlefield."
"Perhaps this person has no other intentions and just doesn't know how to fight?"
Chen He shook his head: "If he didn't know the soldiers, how could the King of Qin entrust him with a hundred thousand troops and let him lead the army on an expedition?"
Zhang Da asked in confusion: "No way?"
Thinking of South Korea's national conditions, Chen He was speechless.
Entrusting the army to a person who does not understand war is indeed something South Korea has often done in recent years.
Otherwise, South Korea would not be guarding the world's largest iron mines, having the world's largest number of craftsmen, and the largest population, yet it has repeatedly failed in foreign wars.
However, the enemy is not South Korea, but Qin!
Chen He remained firm in his attitude:
"Even if this person doesn't know how to fight, the King of Qin should send a prudent general to help him!"
"I can't tell what General Qin wants to do now, but he must have a purpose for doing this."
"My officer intends to send all the militiamen to the north gate. Four thousand county soldiers will guard the other gates. Four thousand county soldiers will prepare for war. One thousand county soldiers will patrol the city to guard against water, fire and soil attacks. One thousand county soldiers will serve as a new force."
After emergency recruitment, more than 12,000 young adults were conscripted into the army to form a militia force.
If the Qin army really regarded the North City Gate as its main attack point, more than 12,000 militiamen would be enough to withstand several rounds of fierce attacks.
If the Qin army really used a strategy, the county soldiers would be enough to deal with emergencies.
Zhang Da couldn't think of any flaws and nodded happily: "Good!"
At the same time, the Qin army advanced.
Six hundred heavy troops stood behind the assembled trebuchet, patiently waiting for ammunition.
But instead of the stone bullets they were expecting, Ying Chengyu's personal soldiers and dozens of carriages arrived.
"Be careful in your movements, don't break it!"
"Come on, come on, help me put these jars into the net bag."
Wang Pan, the leader of the 200th and 500th carriage camp, looked at the pottery altars on the carriage, frowned and asked, "Where are the stone bullets?"
Su Jiao raised a token and said in a deep voice: "I am the commander of the general's personal soldiers, Su Jiao."
"The general ordered that these jars be thrown into the enemy's gate tower and inside the city."
Wang Pan cupped his hands and explained: "Our army has never thrown this jar before."
"Accuracy cannot be guaranteed."
After the order was passed, Su Jiao did not show a straight face. He pointed at the vehicle behind him and explained with a smile: "So the general has prepared a lot, enough for General Wang Bai to practice."
"The general's requirements are not very high. It is best to hit the city gate tower, followed by the city gate. It is also acceptable to throw it into the city again."
Su Jiao said so, even if Wang Pan had many doubts in his heart, he could only give it away: "Wei!"
Although the jar filled with liquid is about the same size as a stone bullet, it is much lighter.
Soon, the six pottery altars were loaded into the net bags of six catapults.
Each hundred shirtless baggage soldiers grabbed the rope of a catapult and stood ready.
Seeing that he was ready, Su Jiao raised a small yellow flag in the direction of the front army.
After confirming that the trebuchet was ready, Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Throw it!"
With an order, hundreds of heavy baggage soldiers roared in unison: "Throw it away!"
While shouting and shouting, hundreds of baggage soldiers pulled up the rope, ran backwards, and pulled the arm down quickly.
The net bag hanging on the other end of the force arm was lifted up. When the net bag slid past the highest point, the jar contained in the net bag flew towards Xicheng along the parabola!
Seeing a jar flying towards the city gate tower, Chen He pushed Zhang Da away fiercely and warned loudly: "Shangguan, be careful!"
"Wow~~~"
The jar hit Zhang Da and broke into pieces.
The broken pottery fragments injured two soldiers, but did not cause any more casualties, only a pool of liquid flowed out.
Chen He became more and more confused when he saw this: "What is this!"
Zhang Da leaned over, dipped some in his fingers and observed carefully, but shook his head helplessly: "I have never seen it before."
"What the Qin Army's trebuchets threw were not stone bullets, but weird things like this. What did the Qin Army do?"
Chen He looked at the Qin troops who were reloading outside the city wall and frowned: "I don't know either."
"But the Qin army is definitely not here for fun, and their actions must be meaningful."
"The things in this altar must be dangerous."
Chen He believed that he was also a battle-hardened general, but he was unable to serve as a general due to his background.
But he has never fought such a weird battle!
Facing the unknown, Chen He could only be cautious and cautious.
Chen He turned to the messenger and ordered: "Hurry up and order the civilians to clean up, and wash it carefully!"
The messenger immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"
From a distance, he saw a citizen leaning out half of his body and wiping the city wall with linen cloth. Ying Chengyu ordered in a deep voice:
"Instruct the crossbowmen in the front army to spare no effort in firing crossbow bolts and cover them in turn!"
"Go out first!"
A man with a vicissitudes of life, wearing common clothes and carrying a Qin sword at his waist, stepped forward and picked up a wooden shield as high as his own, or he and Pao Ze carried a pair of ladders together.
After the two hundred first-arrival warriors got their equipment, Captain Zhou Yan asked seriously:
"Is there anyone who wants to quit?"
"Quiting now is not against the law."
The two hundred warriors who came first did not nod, shake their heads, or answer, but remained silent.
If there was a way out, they would not have come to camp in the first place.
Zhou Yan did not wait for the answer and was not surprised. He just waved his hand:
"Serve the wine!"
A group of military officials came forward with wine jars, handed each of the first warriors a pottery bowl, and filled them with wine.
Zhou Yan also held a bowl of wine in his hand and said in a deep voice: "In this charge, you all will escape death."
"But your efforts are all worth it!"
Zhou Yan cheered up and shouted: "If you lay out ladders to help seize the city, all the soldiers in the camp will be ranked first in the ranks of the nobility."
"The first person to ascend and capture the flag will be awarded the second level of nobility."
"Whoever enters the city first will be given a farm and a house by the official official of the country!"
"This time our army came in a hurry and attacked the enemy unprepared. This is a God-given opportunity to gain military glory."
"I would like to congratulate you all!"
Listening to Zhou Yan's words, the breathing of the pioneer warriors became rapid.
They risked their lives to join the First Deng Camp just for these benefits!
Most of the first warriors were slaves, or their family members were slaves or sinners.
If they don't fight hard, their lives will be worse than death.
But if you can win the fight, you will have a chance to win the title of Grand Duke and become a nobleman of Great Qin!
Even if they die, as long as the village can build the ladder up the city wall, they will be able to obtain a first-class title and be succeeded by the person they designate.
Not dead in vain.
Seeing that the morale of the troops was almost mobilized, Zhou Yan raised the wine bowl high and shouted loudly:
"May you all ascend and seize the city first!"
The hundred warriors who were the first to ascend all shouted in unison: "Be the first to ascend and seize the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Zhou Yan, drank all the wine in the bowl and threw the bowl heavily to the ground.
"Crack~Crack~"
Accompanied by the sound of broken pottery bowls, the first warriors gripped wooden shields and ladders and ran towards the north gate of Xicheng, roaring:
"Go first! Go first!"
Sorry, sorry, I have something to do at home today, so the update is late, I'm very sorry!
