Chapter 160
"The whole army is attacking the city!" Liu
Bei, who fell into a state of madness, no longer tolerated his soldiers, and in the face of this obsession with him, Liu Bei directly ordered the whole army to attack.
Bang, bang, bang!
Knock, knock,
and the drums of war rang out.
The catapult began to shoot large pieces of rubble into the city.
Immediately, under the cover of catapults, the Qingzhou army carried the ladder and launched an attack on Xiapi.
"Archer, shoot!" Tai
Shici, who was standing at the head of the city and commanded, saw the Qingzhou army start to charge, and immediately gave instructions to the Chu State archers who were hiding under the female wall.
Damn, these damn clans!
Yes, Tai Shi Ci really hates the clan.
You must know that Liu Bei didn't have a catapult before.
After all, catapults can really be considered high-end items in this era.
Liu Bei, who was poor and white, did not even have complete military equipment, so how could he talk about creating such a complex crafted item?
Moreover, even if there were catapults in Liu Bei's Qingzhou, Liu Bei did not bring them with him when the road was far away.
This also made Tai Shici have no pressure to defend the city before.
But now, Liu Bei, who occupied Xiapi, has been voted by a large number of clans.
And one of the clans happens to have the craft technology to build catapults.
Although the catapult he created was only a simple version of the less powerful, it was enough for Liu Bei to make him a treasure.
"Whoosh!whoosh!"
A round of arrows rained down, and although the charging Qingzhou army fell by hundreds, it did not stop its momentum from continuing to advance.
Liu Bei, who was in command of the Chinese army, was overjoyed when he saw this.
Hahaha, the catapult is really a treasure.
With this suppression, your Chu army doesn't even dare to shoot arrows with a bow, what is the lethality of such a sparse rain of arrows
? En? Do you shoot hundreds of people at a time? You know, I have an army of 100,000, can you shoot here? Do you have so much time to shoot?"
"Inform the whole army that whoever is the first to climb the city will be knighted!"
Seeing
that Xiapi's defense was far less powerful than he imagined, Liu Bei's self-confidence suddenly exploded.
That's it? How could it be possible to stop my 100,000-strong army?
Tai Shi Ci is just a reckless man, and his mantis arm is used as a car!
With the issuance of Liu Bei's order to reward him, the morale of the Qingzhou army has soared again.
What is the reason for being a soldier to fight?
First of all, it is for a bite to eat, but everyone has desires, but what happens when they are full
? Who is willing to be a nameless soldier who dies on the battlefield without knowing when he will die for the rest of his life?
Now, the opportunity is in front of us.
You must know that in Liu Bei's army, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have not been given knighthoods.
Of course, this is also because Liu Bei has not yet become king, but this cannot stop the madness of the Qingzhou army.
"Rolling wood, quick, rolling wood. "
Fire oil, hurry up and get some oil here
!" "Brothers, come quickly, push this ladder down with me!" The
siege battle intensified.
The Qingzhou Army, stimulated by the heavy reward, went crazy.
Ignoring the various attacks coming from overhead, everyone was desperately climbing the ladder in front of them.
As long as I can get to the top of the city.
"General, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it for long!" Chen
Feng, who opened the city gate for Tai Shi Ci before, was named a partial general by him, and as Tai Shi Ci's deputy general, Chen Feng naturally accompanied Tai Shi Ci to guard Xiapi City.
But looking at the boulders flying all over the sky, and looking at the Qingzhou army that fell into madness under the city, Chen Feng panicked.
I'm afraid that I can't hold it at all, right?
But unfortunately, after the previous rebellion, Chen Feng has no way back, and now he can only follow Tai Shici to the dark.
Regarding Chen Feng's words, Tai Shici also understands that if he continues, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for even a day or two.
For this situation, Tai Shici's heart was also full of unwillingness.
Damn, it's clear that after the last training, our Chu army is far better than before in terms of morale and soldier quality, but who would have thought that Liu Bei would actually bring in catapults?
Although the number of catapults is not much, there are only three.
Although the real effective lethality of catapults is not strong, this deterrent effect is too terrifying.
Defend well on the city wall, and keep an eye on the boulders flying overhead, who can stand this?
The entire defense line of the Chu army fell into passivity because of the appearance of catapults.
Everyone will inadvertently look up when they are defending, and only when they find that there is no boulder behind them can they feel at ease to deal with the enemy in front of them.
But this time and again, the impact is too great, and the rhythm of the entire defense has been disrupted.
Moreover, morale is gradually falling.
"Chen Feng, immediately gather all the horses in the city and gather a group of warriors who dare to fight. As
a last resort, Tai Shi Ci could only choose to collect horses and venture out of the city.
In today's situation, if these three catapults are not destroyed, then Xiapi will not be able to defend at all.
After receiving Tai Shici's order, Chen Feng immediately rushed towards the city.
After all, he used to be a lieutenant in Liu Bei's army, and he still has this vision.
At the very least, Tai Shici's decision was not wrong, and the current situation was that the damn catapult had to be destroyed to have a chance of victory.
After a while, Chen Feng came to Tai Shici again.
"General, there are only two hundred horses available in the city, and all the brave men have been assembled. "
After all, horses are still rare in the Central Plains in this era, and it is not easy to collect two hundred horses in such a short period of time.
"Okay, come on, bring my war horse too!
Chen Feng, on top of this city, I will hand it over to you for the time being.
Giving an order to Chen Feng, Tai Shici quickly ran down the city wall.
But he didn't notice that Chen Feng behind him was already stunned.
Oh my God, Tai Shi Ci is the main general, this battle out of the city is a matter of nine deaths, did he not hesitate to personally lead the cavalry out of the city?
You know, Chen Feng only thought that Tai Shi Ci was planning to let the knights destroy the catapult, but he never imagined that Tai Shi Ci would personally take the risk.
"General, no!" Looking
at the figure that was gradually moving away, Chen Feng, who had reacted, hurriedly chased after him.
If you are too Shi Ci to fold here, then how can Xia Pi defend it?"
"There is nothing to do, then Liu Bei's army has two fierce generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if a certain family does not go, who can stop them? You know, then Liu Bei's
defense force around the catapult must not be weak.
Since I am the main general, how can I retreat from the battle?" "
How can Tai Shi Ci not know that going out of the city this time is a life of nine deaths
? But otherwise
? In order to defend Xiapi, for the sake of the Chu State, for the sake of the overlord, and for the belief in his heart, even if he dies and dies, Tai Shi Ci does not intend to give up.
"Chen Feng, if I am killed, then Xiapi will be handed over to you. Leaving the
last sentence, Tai Shici stepped onto the war horse.
It's just that he didn't notice that Chen Feng's eyes behind him were already moist, and he bowed deeply to the back of Tai Shici patting the horse and leaving, and Chen Feng came to the city again.
"Archer, don't care about throwing stones, shoot hard at Lao Tzu!"
