Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1164 Puzzled

  Yang Bai is almost going crazy!

  I’ve seen someone who sieges a city, but I’ve never seen General Zhengxi attack a city like this...

  What the **** is this called?

A normal siege of a city does not mean that arrows are whistling back and forth in the air, and then the attacking side on the ground is like a tide, splashing blood and flesh on the solid city wall and camp, the screams of fighting pierced the sky, and the blood was left behind. Are their limbs spread all over the earth?

  That will be like this, except for the sound of chiseling and erecting wood and the sound of dragging and hoisting wood, it is actually calm like a construction site...

   What the **** is this called!

  Yang Bai couldn't understand it, and wanted to cry but had no tears.

  Has anyone seen the defenders being pinned down and unable to move, and then the attackers are moving below with big thorns?

  If it is said that it will go out, no one will believe it.

  But the reality is like this.

Yang Bo squatted under the crenel of the wall and looked at each other with dozens of soldiers who were also half squatting. He could clearly hear General Zhengxi's soldiers advancing along the mountain wall as they set up wooden frames. But there is no effective counter capability...

Yang Bo poked his head out of the crenel quickly, glanced at it, and then quickly retracted it. It took no more than a second to go back and forth, but there were two crossbow bolts roaring towards him. With a "buzz", one of the crossbows flew into the crenel, but one hit the stones of the crenel with a "slap". go back!

   If it was a moment late, he might be pierced through the head and die on the spot!

   "Where's the Rolling Stone! Where's the Leimu! And the Fire Cage! Damn it, it's almost up to the nose!"

  Yang Bai sat under the crenel, shouted with his neck stretched, his heart beating uncontrollably, no matter who it is, if it is on the verge of death, it is brave to try, if you do too much, it will make you crazy or collapse...

  Originally on such terrain, the archers of the defenders should be able to play a great role, but when facing the strong crossbowmen of General Zhengxi, they suffered a dull loss.

  The specific geographical environment has created the geographical advantage of the military village, but now this advantage has become an invisible constraint for Yang Bai's defenders. With a width of more than ten meters, there were only a few crenels. The archer had just exposed half of his body and was about to open his bow to shoot, but the strong crossbowman from Zhengxi who had already previewed it went up from the bottom up and fell into the soul...

An unfolded surface of more than ten meters, and then it is previewed by twenty or thirty, or more, strong crossbows. Whoever shows his head will be unlucky, even if he has a shield. Looking at the situation, they are all testing on the verge of death. In this way, can Yang Bai and the defenders of the military village not feel aggrieved?

General Zhengxi did not directly send soldiers to attack the city, but built wooden frames along one side of the mountain, spreading forward step by step. Although the progress was not very fast, the wooden frames spread to the wall of the village. , It is a matter of time, once the wooden frame is really laid on the wall of the village, what will happen, needless to say, everyone will understand.

Although there is a geographical advantage above the military stronghold, General Zhengxi is obviously a crossbow with a longer range, but it makes up for this gap in range. The area that the archers on the wall of the stronghold can shoot, General Zhengxi The Crossbowmen can also be countered.

And in terms of power, the archer may be tired, or the hand is slippery, and it may not be able to ensure that the strength of the bow and arrow shot every time is exactly the same, but the crossbow shot by the strong crossbowman is basically The above is to maintain the same intensity.

  The key point is that the strong crossbow can maintain a long-term preview, and there is no need to open the bow to shoot like an archer. Most of the archers exposed on the wall of the village were showing their upper body and did not wear heavy armor. Compared with the three-edged crossbow equipped by General Zhengxi's strong crossbowmen, they had almost no defensive ability at all. Well, it was basically a one-hit kill. Even if you were lucky, if you didn't die on the spot, you would still be seriously injured and unable to continue fighting.

However, under the cover of the mountain wall and the thick wooden piles, the strong crossbowmen of General Zhengxi did not suffer much loss. Under the ebb and flow, the archers accompanying Yang Bai's defenders died or died one by one. Seriously injured, Yang Bai gradually lost his long-range strike ability, which was almost equivalent to losing the ability to control the scene. He could only attack through raging trees and falling rocks and delay the progress of General Zhengxi's project.

   But Rolling Stone Leigi also had little effect.

Because the wooden frame built by the soldiers of General Zhengxi is not a right-angled facade, but with an oblique angle. When a rolling stone hits it, it is basically unloaded to the side. For the soldiers of Zhengxi at the front of the wooden frame , there wasn't much direct damage at all, but after the rolling rock fell a certain distance and bounced back from the mountain wall, it caused some casualties to some extent.

It's just that with the spread of the wooden frame and the erection of the long wooden fence, the lethality of the rolling stone and the thunder wood is gradually attenuating. Colliding, bouncing and finally falling under the cliff...

  But a little lethality is better than nothing. You can’t do nothing and watch General Zhengxi lay wooden frames on the wall of the village, right?

   "Reporting to Sima..." A soldier squatted and moved over, and said, "I have sent people to urge, but... logging is not easy, so I ask the general to send more people..."

  On the Fenshuiling military stronghold, I didn't expect someone to attack it. Some Rolling Stones and Leimu reserves are already very good. There is not much base at all. After a few waves, there will be no follow-up.

"...I need to send more people... Damn... I need to send more people. Look at Zhengxi, there are only a few people who hang the wood... Tell me... why are you hanging the wood? You need a dozen people ! What the **** are you eating!" Yang Bai pointed his hand to the bottom of the military camp, and shouted depressingly.

  Wood and bamboo are everywhere in the mountains, so it is not difficult to obtain materials. Although the stone walls on both sides of this section of the mountain road are towering, the mountains in the distance are full of trees.

Zhengxi's soldiers tied ropes to hang down the valley, and kept cutting down trees. After removing branches and leaves, they tied them with ropes and hung them up the mountain road. Or they used some method unknown to Yang Bai, anyway, they just saw more than a dozen groups of ropes hanging side by side on the cliff wall in the distance, and then only one or two people were needed to hang the whole tree up...

  The garrison of the army village also swore helplessly: "...that... that son of a **** is lazy, so he will be killed by a thunderbolt..."

  Yang Bai was furious, and cursed: "Get lost! Hurry again!"

  Damn it, what is this called!

  How can I keep this military stronghold!

   "Damn! Damn!" Yang Bai patted the crenel with his hands, but he didn't dare to poke his head out again, "What should I do, what should I do? Could it be..."

  ………………

Yang Bai was puzzled, but Fei Qian knew very well that many things are actually not difficult, just like the fixed pulley has been used in China for a hundred or two hundred years, but adding another one becomes a moving pulley, or something more complicated becomes a moving pulley. Pulley block, but it will take a long time in the future, even in the industrial age...

The height difference between the military villages at the watershed is less than ten meters in total. Although this is indeed an insurmountable height for ordinary people of the Han Dynasty, but for Fei Qian, who is used to seeing tens of meters in later generations , or even a person with a height of hundreds of meters, isn't this the height of a two or three-story building?

   It is not cost-effective to attack the military stronghold head-on, so just build a scaffold to pave the way!

  Fei Qian was still thinking, if the steel quality passed the test that day, would it be possible to build a tower crane to lift it out?

The most important thing is that the terrain is suitable. Both sides of the military camp are leaning against the stone wall, and there is no trench in the middle. With the solid attachment of the stone wall, one side is vacated as a passage for rolling stones and trees, and the top is in front. The slanted wooden frame with muddy surface, whether it is a rolling stone or a rocket fire cage, has a strong resistance.

   "Your Majesty, in two days, the wall of the village can be erected..." Xu Huang stood aside, looking at the wooden frame spreading towards the military village.

   "Yes, it will be almost two days later..." Fei Qian nodded and said, "If the defenders are not willing to fight to the death with us after building the wall, what will they do now?"

  Li Ru coughed lightly, folded his fur robe and said, "Yesterday, the rain stopped, and the mountains and haze are getting dry. Be careful of the candles..."

   Fei Qian nodded, smiled without saying a word.

  ………………

  The night is falling, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

  In the Han Dynasty, when there was no artificial lighting except for natural light sources, the secretion of melatonin was always at a very high level, so most people would fall asleep quickly at night.

   Except for a few people.

  By the cold moonlight, more than a dozen figures climbed out of the military camp, and slowly slid down along the hanging rope...

   It wasn't that Yang Bo didn't want to open the gates of the village, nor did he want to send more people, it was just that limited by the geographical location, he could only deploy so many troops at one time.

Although there is a Zhaimen, when it was first built, it never expected to encounter such an offensive mode as Fei Qian. Therefore, normally, in order to reduce the risk of being attacked by a car from the front, the Zhaimen of the Military Zhai was deliberately made narrow, just It is to accommodate two people walking side by side. At the same time, in order to improve the protection of the gate of the village, even a whole piece of stone slab was used as the gate. However, such a stone gate is easy to put down, and it takes two or three minutes to twist it up again. It can be done.

  So now that Yang Bai wants to send people out of the village, there is no other way but to hang down the rope.

  Since the Rolling Stones could not destroy the wooden frame built by the soldiers of General Zhengxi, they had no choice but to smear the raid, pour kerosene on it, and burn it!

   There is nothing else to do.

  In the dark night, the soldiers hanging down from the military camp first fell on the ground, listening quietly with their ears up...

  The surroundings are quiet, it seems that even the bugs have gone to rest, except for the sound of my own heartbeat like a drum, I can't hear any other sounds.

  The wooden frame built by General Zhengxi stands quietly on the edge of the stone wall, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, which makes people shudder.

   Fortunately, General Zhengxi on the opposite side seemed to be unprepared. There were only a few torches scattered far away, and they couldn't cover the range of all the wooden frames.

   Qu Chang, who led the raid, gritted his teeth, looked back at the military village, and vaguely saw Yang Bai waving forward on the crenel under the light of a few scattered torches on the wall of the military village...

   "Turtle son..."

   Qu Chang cursed inwardly, then bent over, groping forward with hands and feet. Several soldiers quickly followed behind Qu Chang, shrank in the shadows, and moved forward silently.

  Where is the wooden frame?

   Yes, on the left stone wall...

  Clouds were floating in the sky, and at some point, the moon got into a large piece of thin cloud, which looked extraordinarily hazy, and the whole world suddenly dimmed, adding a third of mystery.

  Touch a section, stop for a while, listen to it, and then see that there is no movement, then touch another section, and so on. Qu Chang only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was echoing inside the mountain wall...

   Soon, soon, almost almost there!

   There was a muffled "boom".

   Qu Chang, who was groping forward, bumped into something suddenly, and immediately sat down on the ground.

   "Could it be the end of the land?"

  Although there was hazy moonlight, Qu Chang, who was shrunk in the shadow of the mountain wall, couldn't see what was in front of him for a while, so he couldn't help reaching out to touch it...

   "Huh? Huh!" The voice suddenly came out like a thunderbolt in the quiet night, "Hey! Brat! Touch that!"

   Qu Changchang was so frightened that he raised his knife to slash, but before he could raise the knife, he was kicked over by someone, and then he was trampled on the neck and pressed to the ground.

   Qu Chang was still waiting to resist, but he heard screams from left and right, and many of the dozen or so soldiers who sneaked out were taken down, so he sighed long, stopped moving, closed his eyes and waited for death.

   "Marquis, do you think these idiots are stupid or not? They look like blind people. We are standing here, but we still can't see them, and we are still touching..." said a soldier of General Zhengxi.

   "Well, it's all a disease..." Gong Jun, who stepped on Qu Chang's neck, replied casually.

  If it wasn't for someone stepping on his neck, Qu Chang would probably jump up, and counterattack saying that you are sick...

   "Okay, let's tie them up... It's all a group of blind thieves from my hometown who don't have long eyes. They hit the Internet... First take the bamboo tubes from their waists... I guess it should be kerosene..." Gong Jun ordered.

   Qu Zhang, who was **** by five flowers, couldn't figure it out. Hearing the tone of Zhengxi's soldiers, it seemed that these people who were General Zhengxi could see things at night?

How is this possible?

   Qu Chang couldn't figure it out, he really didn't see it!

   But why can the soldiers of General Zhengxi be seen? !

  Without a torch, how could it be possible to see the surrounding things clearly only by the moonlight?

What exactly happened here?

   It's rare that General Zhengxi's subordinates are all monsters?

  Oh my god, I'm not going to be eaten alive...
