142 The flag waved to fill the barrier, and the whole army attacked the Chu army.
“木牛车掩护土龙车出击,将寿春城的护城河填平!!”蒙恬大旗一挥,两百余辆由秦墨子弟组装的木牛车和土龙车缓缓向寿春城的护城河前进.
The Chu soldiers on the city were huddling behind the female wall at the top of Shouchun City, in order to avoid the rain of strong crossbow arrows roaring from the Qin army's powerful crossbow army formation. Suddenly, hundreds of strange and unknown objects were heading towards Shouchun City bit by bit, and a riot immediately caused on the city.[]
"Look! What is that?"
"I've never seen this thing before."
"Is it the Qin army's siege equipment?"
“攻城器械?除了云梯,冲城车之外难道还有其他的攻城器械吗?”
“这些东西不会是秦军的冲城车吧,寿春城的护城河虽然年久失修,却也不是这些东西能趟的过来的啊.”
"It shouldn't be a rushing car. I heard that there is a powerful siege equipment in the Central Plains called a siege car. However, it is said that this kind of thing throws big stones from a distance, rather than rushing to the city."
"Bastard! You guys have the time to talk here. Why don't you shoot at those things quickly with your bows and arrows! As long as you can shoot Qin Gou who pushes those things to death, I will not care what they are!!"
The words of the general guarding the city were simple, but when he saw him shrinking his fat body under the female wall to avoid the rain of Qin army's powerful crossbows, the Chu soldiers next to him looked at him with contempt.
The role of a general is not just to charge, but at some special moments, if you are a general of a military force, you will be the first to show cowardice and fear this emotion, and then you will continue to encourage the soldiers around you to work for yourself. Such generals will only make the soldiers under him lose confidence in him, and his prestige will naturally be greatly affected.
Although he was full of contempt for the city guard general, facing the scolding and urging of the city guard general, the Chu soldiers around him still helped to raise their heads in the rain of Qin army's powerful crossbows and arrows, and shot the bows and arrows in their hands towards the strange siege equipment.
"Puff puff puff..." The protective layer built from several layers of cooked cowhide is extremely solid. Although the Chu army's arrows took advantage of the condescending advantage, in the face of the toughness and firmness of cooked cowhide, these arrows could not even penetrate the outermost layer, and could only slide from the side to the ground. The Qin soldiers under the wooden ox cart, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were "bitten" by several arrows shot from strange angles, these Qin soldiers did not lose anything anymore. The wooden ox cart and the earth dragon cart hidden in it continued to slowly advance like the moat outside Shouchun City.
"Use rockets! I don't believe that these things can't even be dealt with by rockets!" Every city gate in the city has a large number of rockets. In addition to guarding against enemy night attacks, these things are more to prevent the enemy from using human lives to fill the moat and hit the city gate with a rushing car. It should be even more difficult to deal with the strange things ahead.
“咻咻咻!!”城楼上的楚军士卒冒着秦军弩箭的危险再次站起身来,用燃烧的火箭射向那些木牛车.
Although the wooden ox cart was covered with several layers of cooked cowhide on the surface, the main structure of the wooden ox cart was still woody. After being shot by the rocket, some wooden ox carts gradually caught fire, which made the Chu soldiers and the general guarding the city breath out a long breath. If even the rockets could not deal with these strange things, they really had no other way.
Unfortunately, these people were a little happy too early. Although the wooden ox carts that protected the Qin soldiers and the earth dragon carts below ignited flames, it did not mean that the Qin soldiers could not solve the problem. The Qin soldiers hiding under the wooden ox carts controlled the skillful earth dragon carts and dug up the soil on the spot. Taking advantage of the space where the Chu soldiers on the city towers, several people carried the whole truck of soil out from the back of the wooden ox carts, and splashed all the soil in the ox carts on the spot where the wooden ox carts were on fire. The flame that had just ignited was covered by the soil, and only a wisp of blue smoke was left floating out of the soil.
"Continue shooting!! Continue shooting rockets!!!" Seeing that the fire attack that had finally worked was extinguished by the Qin army with the soil, the city guard generals were immediately furious, and the soldiers around the commander continued to use rockets to attack the wooden ox cart.
The Qin army's powerful crossbow did not stop for a moment. Every time the Chu soldiers raised their heads and shot the wooden ox cart under the city, they suffered hundreds of casualties, which made the already stretched city defense forces even worse, and made the surviving Chu soldiers even more panic.
Even under the urging of the city-guarding generals, someone pretended to get up and shoot, but didn't even aim. After shooting out the precious rocket in his hand at will, he immediately retracted his body back behind the female wall. These arrows that had no accurate heads at all, some of them did not even shoot the thirty steps of the wooden ox cart, and then fell into the moat crookedly.
"Bastard! Are you shooting the river or shooting the Qin army!!" The defending general whipped hard on a Chu army soldier huddled behind the female wall. However, in the face of life and death, these Chu soldiers would rather be beaten with a few whips than bet on whether the Qin army's powerful crossbows would hit him.
Under such circumstances, more than a hundred wooden ox carts finally arrived at the moat outside Shouchun City. A group of Qin soldiers in the wooden ox carts began to use earth dragon carts to dig the soil into the moat in Shouchun City one by one.
It was not until this time that the Chu soldiers on the top of the city realized that these strange things were to cover the Qin soldiers to fill the moat next to the moat! At this time, after the rockets on the top of the city had been squandered by the previous few formations, there were only 300 left.
The Chu soldiers hurriedly shot out all the remaining rockets in their hands, but were also put out the fire by the Qin soldiers under the wooden ox cart with soil in accordance with the previous law, and were shot to death by the Qin soldiers' powerful crossbows. At this point, these Chu soldiers could only helplessly hide behind the female wall, watching the Qin soldiers hiding under the wooden ox cart fill the barrier of their Shouchun City bit by bit.
Meng Tian stood on a high-platform chariot specially used to command sergeants and watched the moat of Shouchun City be filled up. He smiled faintly, pulled out the sword he wore on his waist and pointed at the wall of Shouchun City and shouted: "The whole army attacked!!"
......dividing line.........
Shouchun City Chu Palace.
"King, king! Be slower, be careful to fall and hurt your body." An eunuch helped King Fu Chuzheng walk out of the palace quickly. Following King Fu Chu of Chu were some powerful scholars and officials in the Chu court and hundreds of the most "elite" court soldiers in Shouchun City. Yu Qing's youngest granddaughter Yu Ji was surrounded by a group of court soldiers in the queue of those scholars.
These days she was imprisoned in the palace of the King of Chu. Because of the assassination that night, the commander of the Qin army, Li Xin, was stabbed to death, and King Fu Chu did not treat Yu Ji, the granddaughter of the "meaning officials". Not only did she have food in the palace every day, King Fu Chu also specially found some palace maids to help Yu Ji, and also taught Yu Ji some singing and dancing and the etiquette in the palace during this period.
The reason why King Fu Chu of Chu did this was not because he felt guilty towards the old guy Yu Qing, but because he had a covetous heart towards Yu Ji, a graceful little loli who had been born at a young age. The idea in Chu King Fu Chu was that if Yu Ji could let go of his knot in the future, he would take Yu Ji as his own when Yu Ji became an adult (a woman should have become an adult at the age of fourteen). If Yu Ji could not let go of Yu Qing's knot in the future, then King Fu Chu of Chu would use Yu Ji as a "gift" to buy the loyalty of some generals. In short, King Fu Chu of Chu would completely use Yu Ji's beauty.
However, King Fu Chu of Chu made a loud plan, but he never calculated that the Qin army would kill and shoot back in just over ten people after retreating, and started a fierce attack on Shouchun City again. A few hours after Shouchun City was attacked, the East Gate, West Gate and North Gate all sent people to ask for help. Shouchun City, the capital of Chu, which had been passed down for many years, was also in a precarious situation!
"Let's walk slowly and the Qin army is about to enter the city!" King Fu Chu pushed away the little eunuch who was supporting him, carried the luxurious Chu King's suit he was wearing, stepped on the white cloud-stepped boots, and walked towards the south gate of the Chu King's Palace with anxiety.
After King Fu Chu and his party walked out of the south gate of the King of Chu Palace, they saw the powerful nobles in Shouchun City not far away, with their families, slaves, guards and large bags of wealth and property, clamoring toward the south gate of Shouchun City. These people all had ships of all sizes and big and small prepared on the waterway outside the south gate of Shouchun City. As long as they left the south gate of Shouchun City, the Qin army would no longer have any help from them.
"Come here! Let's open the way for me!" King Fu Chu of Chu did not intend to use his daughter's body to personally take on the important task of opening the way for everyone behind him. He turned around and waved to Ye Lin, the commander of the court's armored soldiers. Ye Lin hurriedly took half of the palace armored soldiers over King Fu Chu of Chu, and began to push the slaves of the noble officials and nobles to set up a passage for King Fu Chu of Chu.
楚王负刍坐上一旁宦官为他早已准备好了的马车,待烨林为他将道路清整出来后,楚王负刍立刻催促着御马的车夫开始向南面前进.
The first reaction of those nobles of Chu State who were pushed away by the court soldiers of the King of Chu was to be pushed away was to scold the dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, when they saw those palace soldiers who were holding swords and halberds, these dog-legged, who were used to bullying others could only hold their tails and silently endure the feeling of being bullied by others.
ps: Those who are familiar with Wuteng know that online writers like Piaotianyi actually have to focus on their daily work. In addition to increasing the typing speed due to the motivation after going to Sanjiang, the explosion in the last week was not only because of the motivation after going to Sanjiang, but also because I accumulated a small number of manuscripts to update a few days ago. However, no matter how many manuscripts are, they are still used up. From the last bit of manuscripts in Wuteng in the early morning yesterday, I have used up. Now Wuteng can only try to ensure that I can be a qualified 3K party in the future. Everyone should understand more, wuwu~~~~
