In the early morning of Dingwei in May, there was still a lewd rain. The rain hit the canal hanging on the top of Jingzhou city, and then merged into a turbid current along the canal, splashing on the female wall. Outside the female wall, they finally flowed out of the city wall, flowing through the firewood under the city, and flowing into the city protection pool full of ripples.

The gate of Jingzhou City was closed, including Tengqi on the northern city tower. The generals either used Lu Li mirrors or looked far away, looking at the Chu army warships slowly coming in the drizzle. As they looked, they suddenly found that the Chu army warships were so few - according to the standard, the soldiers were winged and the warships were one by one, but this soldiers were not only 225 spearmen, but also included archers, knights, officers, ship officials, flag drummers, etc. The cavalry-type soldiers could hold 350 people at most.

The first division had only sixteen soldiers, plus command, baggage, food, military weapons, and medical treatment. One division had only eighteen cavalry-type wings, plus six transport-type warships, a total of twenty-four. One division had twenty-four, four divisions, that is, ninety-six. There were eight guards, shogunate, servants, king boats, artillery, and transportation, the total number was only one hundred and twenty-four.

The flood had not subsided, and in the drizzle, there were only 124 warships in four rows, four rows, and when they reached the 31st row, they disappeared. The generals looked at each other, and the county magistrate Zuo Ju looked at Yang Xiong: "Why are there so few people in Jing?"

"I don't know. During the Jingling period, the Jing people were far away, and there were more than a thousand ships." Yang Xiong looked embarrassed at this time. In fact, he couldn't tell how many Jing people were, but King Jing appeared in the army, and there were more than 100,000 people.

"The Jing people are less than 30,000, so our army can fight." The commander Ke counted and saw only 124 boats, and two hundred men and one boat was only 24,000. The Guangzhou Army in the city exceeded this number, and there were also 12,000 infantrymen and more than 10,000 Guizhou leaders who had just been recruited. The 50,000 people on our side could go out of the city to fight the enemy.

"No." Yang Xiong's expression changed. "The Jing people's formation is mysterious and unpredictable. You must not fight wildly."

"The Jing people have thousands of iron cavalry, and they shouldn't go out of the city to fight." Without seeing the changes in the Ying army, the generals were all despised by Yang Xiong's words. However, the war horses on the warships were intimidating. These were not five-foot-eight-inch Qin horses. These were the thousand-mile horses purchased by King Jing from Xizhou, which were one foot taller than the Qin horses.

The Iron Cavalry of the Jing people is a fearsome force. The battle between 30,000 and more than 200,000 that Wang Ao saw at the head of Linzi City back then was the Iron Cavalry. Although the Qi people really fought 50,000 people, who could guarantee that their 50,000 people could beat the 50,000 halberd-held men in Qi?

After Tengqi said that he could not go out to fight, he looked at the county magistrate Zuo Ju, then at the other generals. Seeing that everyone was not talking, he felt relieved.

At this time, the Chu army warship at the forefront had already landed, but because there was no pier, the deep-drawn Shiyi warship was more than three meters away from the water. At this time, the knight on the deck of the warship had already boarded the horse. He first drove the horse to the tail of the boat, and then started to ride the horse. The warship was more than 30 meters long. The warship first took a slow step, then quickly. The last section was already running. Before the jump, the people and horses were short, and then they flew over the distance of more than three meters, and landed steadily on the shore.

"It's a god." Tengqi exclaimed, he didn't dare to exclaim.

"Qin Mafu is like this!" The general around him sighed when he saw this. A knight jumped to the ashore, and the other knights followed him. More than a hundred cavalry quickly ran around the city and patrolled the entire city. At this time, everyone's intention to leave the city completely disappeared, and the cavalry was not as good as the Chu army. Once the Chu cavalry rushed or attacked the formation, even if they could retreat to the city, the losses would be heavy. It would be better to resist the city and wait for reinforcements.

No one said to fight on the city tower, and the warships under the city landed anchored and shored one after another. The war horses could cross more than three meters away, and the soldiers simply jumped off the warships and wade on the water. Even the King of Chu, wearing Weibian's uniform, jumped off the Yangshui River and landed on the shore with the soldiers of the Chu army. The king of a country could share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and the morale of the Chu army could be imagined.

Everyone was attracted by the King of Chu who had wade on the water and landed on the shore. Fan Kuan suddenly shouted: "I haven't seen the ladder of the Jing people! I haven't seen the car!"

The Chu army was in a row of flowing water under the city. Those who landed behind saw only a few rushing cars, but they did not see any heavy siege ladders and other heavy siege weapons. Fan Kuan's discovery made everyone stunned.

"I haven't seen the weapon to break the city!" What everyone is most worried about is the weapon to break the city, but after seeing 124 boats, this thing is not seen.

"It's..." A commander pointed to the pier that had just been built, and the horses on the bridge pulled people to push them. A four-wheeled carriage that no one had seen before. Or it should not be a car, but a simple frame. There was only a two-foot-sized wooden box between the two wheels in front, and there was no carriage behind, only a brilliant iron pillar. Six horses dragged the four-wheeled frame and went ashore one after another.

"Report to the king, the Qin army will not fight me." The four divisions listed sixty-four small square formations, and eight guards arranged eight square formations around the king's flag. When Xiong Jing was looking at the north city tower with Lu Li's mirror, the scout reported.

"It's best not to fight!" Xiong Jing was looking forward to street fighting, which means he could also fight. "Transfer the order, and the whole army will change its shields!"

"The whole army changes the shield!" Use spears in field battles and shields in street battles. Xiong Jing ordered the divisions to return to the battleships in an orderly manner to exchange swords and shields. Taking advantage of the time of changing shields, Xiong Jing ordered one after another that only two divisions of the four divisions remained at the north gate, and the other two divisions went around the east gate and the west gate respectively.

The Chu army under the city changed its formation, from gathering in one place to three places. At the top of the city, the Qin soldiers kept shouting loudly. They reported the enemy's movements to the commander. Tengqi and Zuo Ju were suspicious of this. They saw the Chu army's rushing car, and the kind of rushing car that was like the Qin army crossing the river, and there was no other siege equipment. When several people were still guessing the intentions of the Jing people, "Boom-!", a thunder suddenly came from the bottom of the city. The dense Chai Fan on the inside of the moat suddenly broke and splashed everywhere, and the Qin soldiers inside the Chai Fan screamed continuously.

"What sound?!" Teng Qi was frightened. He thought it was thunder, but the sound was clearly coming from the city.

"Yes, yes..." Zuo Ju's expression changed, his eyes stared at the city. He saw something making such a roar.

‘Boom..., Boom..., Boom...’ A battalion of 15 kilograms was three hundred meters away, bombarding Chai Fan on the inside of the city and the wooden stakes that were buried diagonally under the city to prevent the ladder truck from approaching. These were the results of tens of thousands of people who had removed beams and pillars, and the work of a day and a night was now shattered by artillery.

"The Jing people actually have this..." Thunder kept ringing. This was a weapon that no one had seen before. The generals didn't know what to call them for a moment.

"If the Jing people are allowed to attack me, all the Chai Fan soldiers will die and they will be withdrawn to the city." Yang Xiong was a defeated general under the Chu army. He was not as frightened as the generals, and he only rationally considered the problems in front of him.

The catapult on the city can prevent the enemy from entering within fifty steps, and the range of the crossbow can reach more than a hundred steps. However, the enemy attacks Chaifan from two hundred steps, and can only attack us but not the enemy. If the Chu army is allowed to attack along Chaifan, the soldiers in Chaifan will all the troops.

"No. If all the soldiers under the city retreat to the city, all the Chai Fan will be destroyed." Zuo Ju opposed.

"It has been completely destroyed now." Yang Xiong said again. At this time, there was a cheer in the west of the city, and thunder sounded from the other side. Thunders in three places intertwined, and the shouts of the Chu soldiers became more and more neat. They were sitting in the drizzle, and Xiong Jing, who had thought that there was still some time to break the city, ordered the baggage to distribute half a pound of beef and mutton and a portion of Chuli.

It was supposed to be drinking and eating meat while watching the artillery fire. Seeing that Chai Fan under the city was smashed by the artillery, the Qin soldiers in Chai Fan were sobbing and howling, they were so excited that they could not drink or eat, and shouted long live at the top of their throats. The battle has never been so exciting, and they have become irrelevant spectators.

"Eat meat quickly!" After shouting, Long Live, seeing that some people had not finished eating jerky, they immediately scolded loudly. Although half a pound of jerky would not make people swell up during the battle, it was always bad not to finish it quickly.

The city was arguing whether to withdraw from the soldiers in Chaiban under the city. The soldiers of the Chu army shouted loudly, but the sound of cannons gradually stopped. Four turnover vehicles appeared behind the cannon formation, followed by three rushing vehicles. When the sound of cannons stopped, the Qin army on the city also noticed and looked at the command of the tower and shouted loudly: "Report to the general, the people of Jing want to cross the city!"

Without reporting, the generals also saw the turn-by-pass chariot slowly moving forward. The four chariots were divided into two rows, one in front and the other behind, and were pushed by the soldiers. When they reached a hundred steps, the crossbows on the city began to shoot arrows, but the Jing soldiers were all behind the chariot, and the arrows could not hurt them at all.

"Soldiers under the city will stop it." Just as such a proposal was released, thunder sounded again. The two sides of the broken Chai Fan's broken mouth were bombarded again. The soldiers in Chai Fan could only retreat further away. It was impossible to order the soldiers under the city to stop the crossing of the pond.

"What does the Jing people want?" The generals were helpless, and Tengqi saw some Mingtangs. The function of the thunder weapon was to break through obstacles and intercept soldiers to ensure that the Chu army built a bridge. But what if the bridge was built? How could the Chu army attack the city without a car or a ladder?

"I don't know." The generals looked at each other again. At this moment, the Chu army's turnover bridge had pushed down the city protection and was flipping in the water. The arrows on the city finally shot the Chu soldiers in the water, causing the first casualties.

However, the pass bridge was still unfolded and the three rushing cars in the rear quickly crossed the bridge. The mirage, charcoal, rolling wood, and rocks at the top of the city were thrown down by the soldiers and smashed on the roof of the rushing car that was tightly attached to the city, making a loud noise. No one noticed that several stop-off cannons turned the muzzle and aimed at the female wall above the rushing car to make a shot.
