I’m The King Chapter 960: :Huanghuang Hanwei (eighty-four)

Hearing the rumbling sound of war drums outside the city, Zhu Wei hurried to the city, and the whole Gaotang City also became highly tense at this time. Has the siege started?

In the eyes of everyone, the Red Turban Army outside the city did not move out in a big way. Dozens of cavalry galloped out and headed straight for the city. Each of them held a banner in their hands while they were galloping at high speed. , fluttering in the wind, seeing these flags waving in the wind, Zhu Wei's heart instantly sank to the bottom of his heart. Those flags did not belong to the red scarf bandits, but belonged to the Qi army.

The knight on the horse waved his arm, and flags flew out one after another, and they were inserted under the city, half a foot into the soil, and on the middle side, Chen Zijiang's flag was particularly eye-catching.

Chen Tao! Zhu Wei immediately reacted to `pig`pig` island` novel `www`huzud`, Chen Tao is Tian Fucheng's general in the army, it must be the second son who sent Chen Tao to lead his troops to rescue him, but he was hit The trick of the red scarf thieves, the flag is captured now, I am afraid that Chen Tao himself will not be spared.

After dozens of cavalrymen threw out their flags, they laughed and roared away. Dozens of people came out from the Red Turban Army formation, escorting a few captives who were **** in five flowers and marched. Then, drive a few captives to the place where these flags are.

It really is Chen Tao. Zhu Wei's face is ashen.

"Qi army on the city, listen up, I come to the red scarf army Wei Zhiwen, the reinforcements you are looking forward to have been wiped out by our army, if you want to survive, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the day the city breaks, the chickens will die Dogs don't stay." Wei Zhiwen waved the big knife in his hand and roared fiercely.

The city is silent, there is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, Gaotang City, I am afraid it is really in danger.

The muscles on Zhu Wei's face twitched a few times. Under the persecution of the Red Turban Army, Chen Tao shouted loudly under the pressure of the Red Turban Army, asking the defenders of Gaotang City to open the city and surrender in order to save their lives. This made the soldiers on the city Morale was even lower. Zhu Wei gritted his teeth and ordered in a low voice: "Archer, shoot this traitor to me."

"General, they just stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow." An officer beside him whispered.

"Bring the bow!" Zhu Wei shouted angrily.

A strong bow was handed to Zhu Wei. He took a deep breath, pulled the bow abruptly, and put on the arrow. The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like a shooting star. This arrow shot Chen Tao to death on the spot.

Wei Zhiwen was taken aback. They were located outside the range of the bow and arrow, but the arrow from the city was ruthless and accurate, far exceeding the distance that ordinary bows and arrows can reach. He immediately took a few steps back , shouted angrily: "Since you have chosen a dead end, don't blame us for being self-evident, go back,"

"The thieves come as soon as they want, and see how Grandpa Zhu will teach you thieves a lesson!" On the city, Zhu Wei, who had succeeded with an arrow, shouted loudly.

Succeeding with one arrow, the morale of the city is also boosted.

The sound of drums under the city was getting louder, and as Wei Zhiwen retreated, a series of siege vehicles and Mengchong vehicles appeared in Zhu Wei's sight, which made the corner of his mouth a little bitter.

"Beat the drum, prepare to fight!" He shouted sharply.

The huge siege vehicle is more than ten meters high, almost as high as the city walls of ordinary county towns. The archers shoot at the city to form a suppression to cover the attack of the infantry below.

The red scarf army's Mengchong chariot has obviously been modified. It should have a roof-shaped back, but it has been changed to a flat roof, and it is loaded with sacks of earth and rocks. Pushed by the refugees, he rushed towards Gaotang City quickly, and when he reached the moat, he shouted, and the soldiers below pushed the top up vigorously. Boom was poured into the moat, causing huge waves.

Arrows rained down on the city, but facing the Mengchong chariots, there was nothing they could do. These Mengchong chariots retreated quickly with feathered arrows stuck all over their bodies. The bed crossbows in the city were Impossible to shoot down, they can only be used to deal with those siege vehicles now. And stones and trees, separated by a moat, are useless.

Mengchong vehicles came and went, and countless sacks filled with earth and rocks were thrown into the moat. Soon, sections of the moat were filled. The siege vehicles moved forward, and the Mengchong vehicles that appeared again had become It is no longer the previous flat roof, but a ridge shape. This is to prevent such things as throwing rocks and falling wood from hitting the Mengchong chariot, so as to facilitate unloading. Try to protect the pawns hiding under the chariot as much as possible. The retractable and assembled ladders are planted on the two sides of the Mengchong car. When the Mengchong car rushed to the city, the soldiers drilled out from the city and assembled the ladder at a very fast speed, accompanied by the sound of bang bang , a ladder with a hook was built on the top of the city, and the siege engines immediately followed the ladder.

The rich siege equipment and proficient attack methods of the siege fighters shocked Zhu Wei. What kind of bandit is this, and what kind of bandit can have such a fighting force? Regular army.

The attackers were ferocious, and the defenders were also tenacious. At the top of Gaotang city, the sound of killing shook the sky. Wei Zhiwen, Hutou, and Heng Dao took turns to attack. The battle has entered a fierce stage from the very beginning. Zhu Wei divided the less than 2,000 elite troops remaining in his hands into two rescue teams. If there was a danger there, he rushed there to support. Although the left and right were awkward and dangerous, but But still withstood the powerful attack of the opponent.

After half a day of attack, both the attacker and the defender left countless corpses on the top of the city.

Bai Yucheng's eyebrows twitched. Now he has a well-trained army of only five thousand people, but in one morning's attack, nearly a thousand people fell to the city. This kind of loss made him feel very sad.

Looking back at Zhao Yi'an beside him, he asked in a deep voice, "Will the southeast wind you mentioned really come in the afternoon?" He looked suspiciously at the still sunny sky.

"Definitely will!" Zhao Yi'an said with certainty: "When we were in college, we studied some meteorological knowledge. In our staff team, there are several people who are particularly good at this aspect. They All of them agreed that after noon today, the weather will change and the southeast wind will arrive in due course.”

"Okay, I hope what you said is true, otherwise our attack today will seem a bit outweighed."

Zhao Yi'an smiled: "If the southeast wind comes at the right time, you will be famous all over the world if you break through Gaotang City in one day."

Bai Yucheng chuckled, Gaotang City is one of the five capitals of the Qi State, if it is breached by him within a day, it will indeed make him famous all over the world and leave his name in history.

"Send an order to the front army, slow down the pace of attack." Looking at the sun in the sky, Bai Yucheng ordered.

As the attack of the Red Turban Army slowed down, Zhu Wei in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that today's difficulty will be over. line to fight the fire, the two rescue teams were extremely exhausted and seriously downsized.

It seems that the Red Scarf Army can't bear such a heavy casualty. They have a limited number of well-trained troops. Casualties like this can't support them to break through Gaotang City. In fact, what Zhu Wei is most worried about is the Red Scarf The army drove tens of thousands of refugees to attack the city. Although the refugees were not good at fighting, there were too many of them. The ants killed the elephants! But now it seems that the leader of this red scarf army has no idea of ​​letting these refugees come up to die. It also made him feel a little more at ease.

But the actions of the red scarf thieves made him a little puzzled. They began to transport a large amount of firewood and other things to the city. Could it be that they wanted to attack with fire? Setting fire under the city? This is not to stop them His own attack? Seeing the Red Scarf soldiers come and go, transporting bundles of firewood to dozens of steps below the city, Zhu Wei was puzzled.

The attack of the red scarves became more and more slow, and finally they all stopped, but the red scarf army who stopped the offensive did not retreat, but began to straighten out the formation, and more siege machines were pushed out. After moving forward for a certain distance, it stopped.

They seem to be waiting for something. Zhu Wei thought to himself.

There is a little wind, and there are clouds gradually. The sky that was clear just now is covered with dark clouds in a blink of an eye.

The southeast wind was blowing, and the wind brought countless flags flying in the wind, Bai Yucheng gave Zhao Yi'an a thumbs up, "Your staff department really hides dragons and crouching tigers, and even the weather changes can be calculated. It's amazing. "

"Master Hou, this is not a great skill. In our staff department, this is something that must be learned." Zhao Yi'an was a little complacent, "Master Hou, let's start!"

Bai Yucheng nodded, turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and he shouted sharply: "Start!"

Drums sounded, horns blared, dozens of siege vehicles, hundreds of Mengchong vehicles and more infantry rushed towards Gaotang City. Order those firewood.

Zhu Wei still didn't understand what the other party was doing, but in the next moment, he immediately understood the other party's purpose, because the pile of firewood suddenly disappeared after the initial fire , replaced by billowing smoke.

Southeast wind! Zhu Wei's hair stood on end, the billowing smoke was blown by the wind, and rolled directly towards the city. There was a violent coughing sound from the city, and a puff of smoke choked Zhu Wei's throat. Immediately, the pain was burning, and the other party added something to the smoke.

Zhu Wei rushed to the top of the battlements, opened his eyes and looked down. In the dimness, he vaguely saw that the faces of the attacking red scarf thieves were covered with red scarves.

Thick smoke was billowing, and in a blink of an eye, the sight of the city could not be three feet away. All that could be seen were some hazy shadows swaying, and the sound of coughing was heard on the top of the city. At this time, on the city, Not to mention counterattack, you can't even see the enemy in the distance. But the bed crossbows, bows and arrows from the red scarf thief are mercilessly pouring from bottom to top.

There was a bang bang bang bang sound, it was the sound of the ladder climbing the city wall.

"Get ready to fight...cough cough...drive the enemy...cough cough...down to the city!" As soon as Zhu Wei opened his mouth, thick smoke choked into his mouth, from his throat to his chest and abdomen, no one felt comfortable. get up.

(Although the gunman reminded me earlier, there are still six or seven hundred book friends who have subscribed to 78 repeatedly, probably because of the automatic subscription. The gunman is really sorry, because of this mistake, the gunman will add two more chapters in June To make up for it, but it will definitely not work in the near future, because the shooter is too busy with work for a while, and there is really no time to write more.
