Chapter 345: A Thousand Catapults


"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang actually came out of the north gate, and when he returned to Caiyang, Uncle Huang didn't want to abandon me" Half an hour later, Liu Cong, who got the news, hurriedly came to the camp in the city.

"General Guan, why did Uncle Huang go north, but we were a little sluggish" Liu Cong walked a few times to the front and raised his hand towards Guan Yu.

"Liu Zhoumu took care of our army a lot, and let my family lord command Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Liu Zhoumu didn't have any neglect, just" "Just why" Guan Yu glanced at Liu Cong deeply, "Zhou Mu and rest assured, Guan Mou is here, and this Jingzhou City will not be lost." ” Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Yu, he is the highest martial artist in the world after Lu Bu's death, with him, Liu Bei has not completely abandoned Xiangyang City.

Liu Cong returned to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion in despair, and he glanced at Liu Xian beside him with a complicated expression, "Don't drive, you think that the Jiangdong Army may let us go."

Liu Xian's face was slightly shocked, "How can the lord have such a meaning?"

Liu Cong waved his hand, "Okay, I ordered someone to kill the Kuai clan, and now Wuhou Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven is chasing Kuai Liang and Kuai Qi, that is, the Zhuge clan never thought that the defeat of Fangling was all because of the Zhuge clan." ” Mentioning this, Fu Xun also took over, "My lord, in the past, Uncle Liu Huang went to Longzhong to find this Zhuge Kongming, but I never thought that because we surrounded and suppressed the Kuai clan who collaborated with the enemy, let him go out of Jiangdong, but it was a bad move." ” "Gongyi, that sleeping dragon and phoenix chick, there is really an unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods" Liu Cong glanced back at Fu Xun, "General Chen Zhi is so brave, he has two thousand elite white soldiers, even Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry can also fight, and then there are two generals, Deng Fang and Zhuo Ying, who were also defeated by Jiangdong."

Fu Xun shook his head slightly, "My lord, Zhao Yun's Snapdragon Battalion, don't be underestimated, this person was Gongsun Bo Jue Bai Ma Yi from the tent in his early years, he was the unbeatable Koji in the past, didn't he also die under his gun, not to mention, there is also Wolong to help, Chen Zhi General, defeated unjustly." ” Wang Cang, who had been following the tail, did not speak, he knew that Liu Cong had disliked him.

If he hadn't killed the Zhuge clan before, I am afraid that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers would not have led troops to attack, and there would not be the situation where Xiangyang City is embattled now.

"Report to the lord, the big thing is not good, the Jiangdong Army launched thousands of catapults outside the city, preparing to attack the city."

Liu Cong's face turned to look at the herald, "Quick, go to the city wall." ” After a short time, the group rushed to the head of the city.

Outside the city, a vast army of tens of thousands of people lined up outside the city, building a fortress with swords and shields against horses, and a large number of craftsmen behind them were pushing tall catapults to slowly approach the city wall.

"They actually placed wheels at the base of the catapult" Liu Xian looked out of the city with a shocked face, two hundred steps away, just the area where the arrows in the city were not enough, the catapult slowly stopped, and thousands of sergeants holding high-speed iron shields of nearly one person moved to the front of the catapult, protecting the people and sergeants who were loaded with stone bullets behind the catapult.

The sound of the "click" mechanism was connected outside the city, Guan Yu looked intently, and saw that the four corners of the base of a catapult on the opposite side were moved by the people and inserted into the ground.

"Please also ask the state pastor to move into the city, the Jiangdong army will attack the city, if the state pastor is still at the head of the city, the last general and so on, can not defend the city with all his strength."

In front of Liu Cong, there was a military general with a resolute face.

"Then this city will be entrusted to Zhong Miao."

Liu Cong bowed his hand to Huo Jun, and took Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Wang Cang and others to quickly go down to the city from the city wall.

"General Huo, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun led the army to attack the West Gate, and you will guard this gate."

Guan Yu walked to the front and said.

"Whoa."

Huo Jun raised his hand and responded, and then led a team of guards down the city.

Guan Ping took a deep look at Huo Jun's back, "Father, this Huo Jun's enemy is current, his face does not change, he dispatches troops and horses, he is relaxed, and he is a good general." ” Guan Yu squinted, "General Jingzhou, only Wenpin and Huo Jun." ” "What about Huang Zu, Cai Mao and others?"

"Those who are defeated and die, and who are burdened by the family, are not worth mentioning."

Guan Ping thought so, and glanced at the handsome flag with the word "Lu" hanging high outside the city, "Father, I'm going to guard the east gate." ” "It's okay to defend the city, and you can't go out of the city to fight."

"Whoa."

After Guan Ping left, outside the city, the black pressed stone bullets let out a scream after the taut coiled rope was released, and they flew up one after another.

"The sword and shield soldiers retreat to the inner wall, all the sergeants, dodge the stone bullets."

Guan Yu looked at the front intently, and Zhou Cang stepped forward with a shield and immediately protected Guan Yu behind him.

"Bang bang bang" stone bullets the size of a grinding disc suddenly smashed down, enough to have a force of thousands of catties, non-human people can take it, thousands of soldiers on the head of the city, directly fell more than 200 people.

"General, the catapult is too powerful, and there is nowhere to hide on the city wall, so the general should withdraw the next sergeant first."

Zhou Cang glanced around anxiously and said.

Guan Yu poked his head out of the battlement of the city wall, and saw the catapult that was quickly being loaded outside the city at a glance, "No, the military array outside the city is only more than 100 steps away from the city wall of our army, and you look outside the city, the moat has been erected with wooden planks, and the Jiangdong army is attacking the city with foot soldiers, carrying a ladder like walking on the ground, if I withdraw a large number of soldiers, the enemy army will inevitably attack the city immediately." ” "General, there are 50,000 people outside the city, and the Jiangdong army has wooden oxen, flowing horses and carriages to transport stone bullets back and forth, and they stay outside the city for half a month to collect mountains and stones from the mountains and forests near Xiangyang, I am afraid that at this time and a half, the Jiangdong army will not attack the city."

Guan Yu fell into deep thought, "When I was in Caiyang before, Pang Tong only ordered catapults to attack the city, Caiyang is not as good as Xiangyang, and he can still hold on for several months, or not, Zhou Cang, you immediately ordered the people to take the injured soldiers down for treatment, and withdraw all the archers, in addition, ordered the soldiers with shields to line up against the outer wall of the city. ” "Whoa."

On the chariot of the Chinese army outside the city, Lu Meng, Kuai Yue, and Yu Tuo were in the same car, lined up in front of them, and they were all the generals on standby.

"Sima, the stone bullets can still be projected for an hour, do our army take advantage of a few waves of stone bullets to order the sergeants to feint to attack the two gates, and then our army will break the city from the south gate."

Lu Meng smiled and glanced at Yu Xuan, "Don't be in a hurry, the lord's order, just order us to attack the city with stone bullets for days, this Xiangyang city wall is thick, under the rule of Jiangdong, only Moling can be comparable, and there is no need to worry about attacking this strong city." ” Kuai Yue looked at a "Guan" character general flag on the city wall, "Sima, now Liu Bei has rushed to Caiyang to guard, it is Guan Yu who stays in Xiangyang, and now the west gate is guarded by Huo Jun, and the east gate is guarded by Guan Ping, these two are good generals, you think, how to break the city":
