Chapter 2479 Fighting like a catapult
Zhang Tong returned to the military camp, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt more and more angry he looked at the arrow in his hand that almost killed him. He was furious and used both hands to break the arrow into two pieces, and said with hatred: "If you don't take revenge, you won't be a human being!"
Today's incident really made Zhang Tong a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed. After all, he was also the dignified deputy governor of the Right Army and General Pingnan. He almost fell under Huo Yi's arrow, causing Zhang Tong to lose face.
When the personal soldiers around them saw Zhang Tong's angry look, they were also trembling. To be honest, the situation today is indeed dangerous. If the arrow was so slightly above the corner, how could Zhang Tong have the fate?
Fortunately, the Qi Ren had a heavenly appearance. Not only was Zhang Tong not dead, he was not even injured, which made the personal soldiers who were guarding him breathe a long sigh.
If something happened to Zhang Tong today, then the personal soldiers who guarded him would definitely have died and redeemed his crimes.
Even so, these personal soldiers depend on Zhang Tong's expression. Although Zhang Tong was not injured, he was definitely frightened. If he blamed them, these personal soldiers would have to bear the responsibility of inadequate protection. The crime of death is not certain, but the crime of living is also inevitable.
At this moment, Zhang Tong suddenly broke the arrow in his hand. With the "crack" of the arrow shaft, the hearts of the personal soldiers suddenly rose to their throats. For fear that Zhang Tong would take his anger on them, he quickly knelt down in front of Zhang Tong, kowtowed and apologized: "It was our dereliction of duty and our lack of protection, which made the governor frightened. Please punish the governor."
Zhang Tong was stunned, then laughed and said, "It was Huo Yi, the thief who attacked me. What's the matter with you? Get up, I forgive you for not being guilty."
The personal soldiers were relieved and stood up one after another. One of the personal soldiers saw that the tassels on Zhang Tong's helmet had fallen, so they quickly took out a new helmet and wanted to ask Zhang Tong to replace it.
Zhang Tong took off his helmet and saw the bare helmet. He did not take the new helmet, but put the old helmet on his head again and said in a deep voice: "If you don't take Wei County, don't take revenge, I will not change my lord."
No matter what, this matter is safe, and Zhang Tongqiu was not too entangled. After all, fighting a war is just a matter of not being on the belt. Life and death are fate, and wealth is in heaven. If you unfortunately die today, you can only say that you have a low fortune and poor fortune, and this fate is this.
But today I was lucky enough to die, which means that the King of Hell is not planning to accept him yet, so he should do whatever he should do and will not be affected in any way.
Although such a small incident occurred, Zhang Tong's inspection of Wei County's urban defense is quite successful today. Based on all aspects, Wei County's urban defense level is indeed relatively high, at least it is at the level of those county towns in the Central Plains. This is quite remarkable only in the Nanzhong area where urban defense facilities are relatively backward.
Especially that moat will become the biggest obstacle for the Wei army to siege the city. The moat is within the range of the Shu army's bows and arrows. If the Wei army is preparing to attack by filling the river, it will definitely be attacked by the Shu army's bows and arrows. The Shu army guarding the city will never let the Wei army easily fill the moat.
It would be great if the Wei army had a catapult car now, and they ignored the moat at all. All catapult car could be set up outside the moat, and the Shu army's bows and arrows were completely out of reach. The catapult car only needed to concentrate firepower and open a gap, so Wei County could basically be handled.
But now there is no catapult, and the Wei army can only use the most primitive siege method to attack Wei County, which undoubtedly deepens the difficulty of siege.
To be honest, Zhang Tong was really not very adapted to the siege without a catapult. Since Cao Liang improved the counterweight catapult, the catapult has almost become a standard weapon for the Wei army. In the previous siege battles in the Central Plains, there has never been a lack of catapults.
With its powerful and outstanding ability, the catapult has become a powerful weapon for the Wei army to destroy cities and draw villages, and it is invincible. Over the years, the Wei army has captured countless strong cities. The catapult has made an indelible contribution and made great contributions.
But now due to special reasons, catapults will definitely not be useful in this battle, because the entire Wei army was light-fitted all the way and there was no chance to carry heavy equipment such as catapults. Therefore, Zhang Tong had to find another way to do this battle.
Although the lack of a catapult would make the Wei army's siege much more difficult, this difficulty could not scare the Wei army, especially the infantry battalion and Changshui battalion, which were responsible for the siege mission this time. However, the earliest infantry unit established by the Wei army was the main force of the Wei army. They had extremely rich combat experience. They fought many battles and made many achievements, and they had fought more difficult battles than this. As for the battles like attacking Wei County, it was a piece of cake for these two ace battalions, and there was no too much pressure.
The general in the infantry camp was Yang Hu, and the general in the Changshui camp was Wang Jun. Now they have all been promoted to the position of the army commander and the navy commander, and are well-known. The troops they once commanded were naturally the most elite strong soldiers. This is why Yang Hu changed troops to Zhang Tong again.
Yang Hu also realized that Wei County would become a city guarded by Huo Yi. If he wanted to take Wei County, the Wei army must be prepared to fight tough battles.
Among the entire Wei army's infantry troops, the infantry battalion is naturally worthy of being the first. Yang Hu naturally trusts the team he brought out without conditions, and the combination of the infantry battalion's long water battalion is a complete combination of strong forces.
Moreover, the infantry battalion and Changshui battalion both drew two troops, and the ones who drew were the rear and right sides of the reserve team, and the elite front center and right sides of the troops were retained. Although the two battalions now united, there were only 18,000 people, but these 8,000 people were the essence of the two battalions, all of which were elite soldiers and generals.
Such an elite army, no matter how strong the city defense of Wei County is, they do not take it seriously.
Zhang Tong inspected and after returning to the camp, the infantry general Huangfu Kai and the Changshui general Jiang Bin rushed over and asked for the order to attack the city.
However, when they saw Zhang Tong's appearance, they were actually bald and very funny, and they couldn't help laughing. However, Zhang Tong was the deputy governor and their immediate superior. No matter how funny they were, they would not dare to laugh openly, so the two of them had to hold back.
