Chapter 365 Look There

Early the next morning, Zheng Haoliang took his men to dig stones, and Shao Sihu still took the Huben army and catapults to smash the city wall.

This time, they stopped at a distance of 170 feet, and nearly [-] sergeants followed behind them to support the Huben army.

When the sergeants on the city wall saw the twenty catapults, their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were throbbing with pain.

Now the sergeants at Yanmenguan knew that their commander was lying unconscious on the bed at the moment. They had not fought the enemy before, the commander fell down, and their morale was very low.

What is even more frustrating is that they only have one rhubarb crossbow, which was damaged in yesterday's wave of stones. They can only watch the enemy throw stones in a uniform order under the sound of "dong dong dong", while they Standing helplessly on the city wall to watch.

But they didn't have to deal with it. At least the sergeants standing on the city wall at this moment would put their shields on top of their heads to avoid it as soon as they saw the waves of stones coming.

After coming down a few times, they stayed away from the area in the middle of the city wall. The enemy army on the opposite side seemed to have identified that area, and except for that area, they did not smash at all.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the next moment, the wave of stones passed the center of the city wall and smashed towards both sides. Caught off guard, many soldiers were rushed down to find a doctor for treatment.

Then the wave of stones continued to hit the middle next time, and after the sergeants relaxed, they hit them again.

After coming down several times, the defenders were already exhausted. Some soldiers shouted, "If we rush out of the city, what's the point of staying on the wall like this? Don't we need to be afraid of their mob? Those rebels use A pile of stones killed us and injured many brothers, it's really f*cking aggrieved."

There are not a few people with this kind of violent temper. They have all been on the battlefield and killed people. Whoever can survive today is easy to deal with. More or less blood is stained on their hands. The army formed is very contemptuous.

The White Eyebrow Army was able to defeat Master Wang because of Peng Gao. Could it be that this group of rebels had a general like Peng Gao?When will there be as many general stars as Chinese cabbages on the rotten street?
The people guarding the city wall today are not the group of soldiers yesterday. They have never seen Jiang Yuanxi's bravery when his spear was drawn yesterday. As for Jiang Yuanxi's heroic act yesterday, it didn't spread among the army, so at this moment their tone of voice is very disapproving, even if the opponent has nearly [-] troops, it doesn't matter, they are the masters who have experienced many battles!
"They have cavalry!"

There are those who are violent, but there are also those who are cautious, and it is not because they are blind that they will not be able to see the three thousand cavalry, so they immediately retorted.

The man choked, but was speechless.

No matter how brave they are, they are still at a disadvantage when facing the cavalry. They don't need the enemy's strength. They only need [-] cavalry to charge and kill them, and they can lose many people. Of course, they can also guarantee the opponent's strength. Cavalry will also be much less.

But obviously this is not cost-effective.

"The general issued a military order from the beginning, telling us to defend the city, as long as the Jingmen army arrives, we can go out of the city and settle accounts with these traitors."

The sergeant who ordered and prohibited said in a low voice, resolutely carrying out the military order issued by the general.

As soon as they heard this military order, no one was clamoring to rush out of the city anymore, so they could only suppress their anger and hide on the city wall to watch the enemy's movement. The more anger accumulated in their hearts, many people thought that once they waited for the king When the master arrives, he must be a traitor.

"Hush—their stones are gone at last."

They were all archers in the army, and their eyes were very good. When they saw the enemy on the opposite side stopped, they looked carefully, and finally saw that there seemed to be no stones on the cart.

"Without the stone, I see how disgusting they are to us." A sergeant snorted coldly.

"The best thing is that they can come to attack the city. As long as they come under our city wall, we must let them taste our strength, and we will kill one of them with one arrow." Another sergeant grinned viciously.

"Thanks to their stones, we took advantage of them. As soon as they attacked the city, we threw stones down from the city wall. As many brothers as they beat us, we would kill them several times." A sergeant said He waved his arms.

Yesterday, after Jiang Yuanxi called Jin to withdraw his troops, these soldiers collected the stones from the city wall, and prepared to use them on them when they attacked the city, so that they would suffer the consequences themselves.

The defenders here were cheering up. After a quarter of an hour, someone with sharp eyes suddenly pointed to the opposite distance and said, "What do you see over there?"

I saw several carts galloping behind the army, and then stopped behind the catapult body. The tiger army soldiers who were resting on the ground jumped up and began to load stones neatly.

He untied the rope, put on another empty cart, and rushed away again.

Seeing the movement of the catapult, the faces of the archers on the city wall turned green, "Could it be?"

Then the wave of stones surged again, and the archers could only dodge in a panic.

When the catapult stopped again, the mob sat down to rest on the ground, and the archers put on a blank face, "Do you think there will be more stones hitting us later?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone knew the answer, and they all saw the dozens of empty scooters leaving just now.

Taking advantage of the fact that no stones were thrown from the other side, someone looked towards the central part of the city wall. Seeing this, he almost burst into tears, his complexion changed drastically, and his lips trembled slightly, "Look over there!"

The others were still indifferent at first, but when they cast their gazes over, their faces turned pale with fright.

The middle of the city wall has been submerged by stones, basically the archers on the left and right sides cannot join forces smoothly, and they are all waiting for Jiang Yuanxi to withdraw the troops before cleaning the stones.

But at this moment, they saw that there were several big cracks in that section of the city wall, and there was even a crack that could see three inches inside.

"If this continues to hit, will the city wall crack?" Someone murmured, his face pale.

"How did this happen?" Someone couldn't believe it, and suddenly remembered something again, "The general originally said that the city wall will be strengthened and repaired this year."

However the matter was delayed and not consolidated as hoped.

Yanmen Pass has always been a battleground for military strategists. This city wall existed in the previous dynasty. In other words, this city wall has existed for too long. Every few years, they have to reinforce and repair. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuanxi came with the catapult before they could reinforce it. He came right away, and he didn't know who was directing him. Shit, they didn't take it seriously at first, but now they're finally scared.

Once the city wall cracks in the middle, the city wall will collapse. What should they do?
