Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 715: Changli's Doomsday

At the rear of the army outside the city, Yanshi and others heard the sound of war drums in the city and held their breath.

Yanshi excitedly hugged Zhang Sui's arm.

Although she was once the Queen of Wuhuan.

However, this was her first time to personally experience a large-scale siege operation.

She was a little too excited to control herself.

The captain of the imperial guard, Zhao Qin, shouted to Zhang Sui, "My lord, we are about to attack the city! The commander of Liaodong County can't wait any longer!"

Zhang Sui nodded but did not answer.

Under normal circumstances, with Gongsun Gong commanding such a large army and garrison, the possibility of defeat was almost zero.

However, this is not the norm these days.

Zhang Sui's gaze fell on the front of the army, where Liu Ye was carrying the commander's flag on his back and holding up the command flag in his hand.

In the army outside the city, on the drum stand, the soldiers who had been ready also beat the war drums.

The war drums inside and outside the city sounded at the same time, complementing each other.

The restless defenders on the city wall also began to calm down.

Their restlessness and excitement turned into seriousness.

The war is about to begin!
In every subsequent fight, countless people will lose their lives!

Under the scolding of the military supervisor, the people in the corner quickly carried the boiling gold juice to the city wall.

Some women fell to the ground, but no one cared.

As the people at the foot of the city wall quickened their pace and kept going up and down the wall, visible mist emanated from the wall.

The pungent smell drifted with the wind and spread quickly outside the city.

Gongsun Gong looked down at the 40,000 troops outside the city, and his face became extremely serious.

His gaze passed over the 40,000 enemy troops and went straight to Zhang Sui.

In this battle, he wants to take off this man's head!
As the drums of war beat faster, the army outside the city finally began to move.

Twenty square formations quickly dispersed.

Five of the phalanxes trotted forward, rushed to the edge of the moat, and set up a shield wall to prevent the enemy army from rushing out.

The soldiers of the two phalanxes quickly ran behind the shield wall.

They formed groups of two, squatting behind their shields, and thrusting their long-handled weapons through the gaps in the shield wall.

Outside the shield wall, various weapons reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

The soldiers in three phalanxes followed closely behind.

They drew their bows and shot arrows diagonally upwards, directly over the shield wall and towards the moat.

The actions of these ten phalanxes left Gongsun Gong and others on the city wall confused.

What is this doing?
By setting up this defensive formation, are they expecting them to rush out?
What a joke!
You have the advantage of a city wall, so how can you possibly play to your weaknesses and avoid your strengths?

They would definitely not leave the city until the enemy army failed in its siege.

Yan Shi stood beside Zhang Sui and asked him in confusion, "What is Military Advisor Liu doing? Does he think the Liaodong army will attack?"

Zhang Sui looked back at Yan Shi and said with a smile: "This is the difference between my Hebei generals and you Donghu people."

"There are too few of you Donghu people, and you have received too little education."

"They have fewer means to fight."

"After today's battle, you will understand the difference between my Hebei generals and your Donghu generals."

Yanshi looked at the city wall with shining eyes.

All along, she had only seen in history books the emergence of many generals from the Central Plains, such as Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, Xiang Yu, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing.

But this was the first time she was able to see the Central Plains generals in battle with her own eyes.

Under everyone's gaze, the ten phalanxes quickly took their positions.

As Liu Ye continued to wave his command flag, the soldiers from the last ten phalanxes trotted forward and took positions next to the fifty thunderbolt chariots.

Next to each Thunderbolt chariot, there is a craftsman holding a flag.

As Liu Ye waved the command flag, fifty craftsmen also waved their flags high.

Shouts instantly rang out from outside the city. Groups of five people loaded huge stones into the wooden frame of the Thunderbolt Car.

A hundred people worked in groups and, under the scolding of the craftsmen, slowly pulled the wheels under the Thunderbolt Chariot to adjust the direction.

They were divided into groups of fifty, with a rope tied around their shoulders. As the flags waved, they pulled the ropes and pulled the wooden frames filled with boulders to a height of several dozen meters.

The wooden frames of fifty Thunderbolt chariots hovered in the air one after another, as if fifty giant beasts opened their bloody mouths and stared at Changli City hungrily.

Gongsun Gong's hair stood on end as he watched this scene.

He suddenly thought of a siege weapon: the catapult!
Although this so-called thunder chariot is completely different from the catapult.

However, this posture is strangely similar to that of a catapult.

And this thunder chariot is obviously much larger than the catapult.

Could it be that this time the general was not planning to get close to the city wall, but was only planning to use this so-called thunder chariot to throw it at the wall?

Such a long distance.

Such a big stone.

Moreover, the walls of Changli City were specially reinforced and thickened.

Gongsun Gong didn't believe that this so-called Thunderbolt Chariot could really throw such heavy boulders at such a long distance and destroy the city wall!
Liu Ye, carrying the commander's flag on his back, stood up from his horse under the protection of two personal soldiers.

Glancing at the battlefield and seeing that all fifty Thunderbolt vehicles had been loaded with boulders, Liu Ye suppressed his excitement, waved the flag in his hand vigorously, and roared, "Attack!"

Next to the fifty Thunderbolt chariots, fifty craftsmen waved their command flags in unison.

The sound of "clang clang" was endless.

Amid the rapid sound of war drums from both sides, fifty boulders as big as five-year-old children streaked across the sky and passed over the moat. In front of the horrified gaze of the Changli defenders, some of them fell directly onto the city wall, smashing several defenders into meat paste!

They did not stop there, but rolled towards other places on the city wall, crushing the defenders who had no time to escape.

Some of them hit the outside of the city wall directly.

The originally solid city wall was now like tofu dregs, with big holes smashed into it.

Some of them directly flew over the city wall and crashed into the city and the people at the foot of the wall.

Almost at the moment when the huge rock fell and countless people were turned into meat paste, screams instantly resounded throughout the entire Changli City.

Gongsun Gong looked at the tragic scene on the city wall, his eyes narrowed and his breathing stagnated.

Outside the city, at the rear of the army, Yan Shi looked at the tragic scene on the city wall from afar and looked at Zhang Sui in horror.

Is this the terror of the Hebei generals?

If the Donghu people had not surrendered, but chose to fight his army to the end, the scene like this today might have happened to the Donghu people!
Seeing that the first wave of attacks was effective, Liu Ye immediately waved the command flag and directed the second wave of Thunderbolt vehicles to load the boulders.

The defenders on the city wall finally reacted.

The generals surrounding Gongsun Gong screamed and dragged Gongsun Gong towards the city wall.

"General, retreat quickly!"

"The second wave of attacks is coming!"

"Oh my god, what kind of siege weapon is this?"

At the foot of the city wall, the people heard the shouting from the wall and screamed and ran towards the city.

The military supervisor wielded his weapons and killed dozens of people, but he still couldn't stop the people from retreating.

On the city wall, Gongsun Gong struggled to break free from the generals' dragging.

He gasped for breath and watched the second wave of boulders coming again.

The clanging sound filled his eardrums.

His mind was dead silent.

He has no thoughts now.

He just raised his head and watched in horror as fifty huge rocks came again, hitting the outside of the city wall, on the city wall, in the crowd, and at the foot of the city wall.

His 20,000 elite Han troops were reduced to ashes under the huge rock!
Ten thousand fearless Goguryeo elite soldiers rushed down the city wall like wolves and pigs, and no matter how the military supervisor resisted, it was useless!
Screams, wails, and groans came one after another.

Beside him, some generals looked at the approaching boulders in despair.

Some of the generals threw him to the ground.
