The arrival of the Ming army made Huang Chuanbing take care of 120,000 yuan, and he did not go down to the city tower that night, but stayed directly on the city wall, and did not close his eyes all night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At the beginning, the Ming army wanted to live in peace and work happily, but there were many strange schemes, sneak attacks, secret calculations, and ambushes.

But the night was extremely quiet, not to mention the sneak attack, not even a scout was noticed.

At dawn, Huang Chuanbing finally couldn't stand the tiredness of the tide, and curled up in the woolen blanket and fell asleep.

The snow stopped, but the wind was still blowing, like knives. The Ming army has just arrived, in such weather, they are also human beings, not gods, they have to rest for a few days, it is already dawn today, today, or they will not come to attack, right?

I don't know how long I slept or if I just closed my eyes, Huang Chuanbing was woken up by the fierce push of his own soldiers. As soon as he jumped up, the sound of rumbling footsteps and the sound of neat war drums came to his ears.

He threw himself over to the wall, his eyes wide open and looking into the distance.

There is no snow today, and the view is excellent. In the distance, the black tide of soldiers was slowly approaching Lingchuan City, and the sun and moon flags of the Ming Dynasty and the battle flags of the Thunderbolt Camp were waving in the wind.

In front was the Ming Dynasty army, and behind it was Wu Teng's Xinning army. Huang Chuanbing took a deep breath, it seems that the main attack today will be the Ming army.

"Command the whole army, prepare for battle!" He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and gave a sharp command. The Ming army set up the chariots and horses, and they were actually going to prepare for a hard attack, but what made him feel strange was that he didn't see the army in the distance with tall siege vehicles, which were essential weapons for siege, and he didn't even see a ladder.

Is it possible that the enemy is coming with great fanfare, is it just a demonstration? Huang Chuanbing doesn't think so.

Standing at the head of the city, he stared at the approaching army. But the fear in my heart increased. Earlier, the Ming army attacked Anju and fought Leye, and knocked out half of the regular army stationed in Lingchuan County, but he has not really seen the power of this army.

Horizontal twenty-five, vertical twenty troops slowly advanced in the sound of drums, from the time Huang Chuanbing saw them to now, at least they had advanced forward a few miles or so, but the queue did not bend at all, still kept straight, standing in his position, he could see all the soldiers of an army stepping forward with their thighs in the slightest, and then falling heavily on the ground, and then there was a bang, and the whole earth seemed to tremble once. The most shocking thing was that the spears they raised diagonally did not move as they moved.

Not all well-disciplined armies can fight, but those that can fight are all harsh armies with strict discipline. Huang Chuanbing himself is also a general who leads the troops, so of course he understands this truth.

The number of Ming troops walking in the front was not much, only a little more than a quarter of the Xinning army of Chu State, but the momentum of the entire march far exceeded that of the Xinning army following them, at least in the eyes of Huang Chuan, those Xinning troops behind, the queue had already gone zigzag, and the officers of the Chu army had to run back and forth in front of the queue on horseback, shouting loudly and scolding the soldiers to re-line.

A long horn sounded, and the Ming army stopped. Then, in the dense beat of drums, small house-like things were pushed out from behind the main formation. Behind the black house were strange-looking weapons on four wheels, flying above the frozen snow. Huang Chuanbing didn't recognize what it was, but he recognized the crossbow machine installed on it.

What is that black house? When Huang Chuanbing was suspicious in his heart, he was condescending, and he saw the back of the black house, with a bang, a pole was flattened, and then one pole after another appeared from the back of the small house.

"Trebuchet!" Huang Chuanbing was taken aback. Although he didn't know why the Ming army's trebuchet caused this ghostly appearance, it was definitely an arm throwing that appeared in the rear.

"Pass my orders, all trebuchets, attack those black houses with all their might." He gave the order loudly. These black houses of the other party have already entered the attack range of the trebuchets in the city.

A loud rumbling sound sounded, and dozens of stone bullets swept up from behind the city and flew towards the city. And the black houses under the city moved rapidly at this moment, and they were still lined up, but in an instant, the stars scattered.

Huang Chuanbing was shocked and angry to see that those black houses that looked incomparably huge could be pushed and moved quickly with only a few dozen soldiers. They advanced fifty or so paces.

In just fifty steps, these long-range attack weapons of the Ming army completely avoided the blows of the trebuchets in the city. The trebuchets in the city are all heavy and big, and once the shooting range is determined, it is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. These trebuchets in the city were mainly used to bombard siege vehicles, which were huge and moved extremely slowly, and they were always good targets.

In Huang Chuanbing's anger, the black house of the Ming army below began to roar, and one after another black projectiles flew up and flew towards the city, looking at the trajectory of those projectiles in the air, Huang Chuanbing's face changed greatly.

The opponent attacked his trebuchet.

These black houses are distributed in different places at the moment, but the landing point of the projectile is extremely consistent. In his somewhat dull gaze, one projectile after another hit the ground, accompanied by a huge roar, screams, and collapses, and several trebuchets arranged in the city were already smashed into slag.

Seeing that those projectiles that fell to the ground did not shatter, but bounced on the ground, jumping, and sweeping all the obstacles in front of him, Huang Chuanbing sighed even more, these projectiles were actually made of iron.

The bombardment of the black houses outside the city seemed to be endless, and after Huang Chuanbing saw their accuracy, he saw their firing speed again. This time he could see more clearly, behind each black house, there were eight throwing arms, from left to right, starting to attack in turn, and when the eighth throwing arm finished throwing the projectile and began to fall, the first one on the far left threw the projectile again. The cycle goes on and on.

"Wu Junshou, this is called carpet bombing!" Lu Feng happily explained to Wu Teng, who was also stunned: "First lure the enemy's trebuchet to reveal their placement location, and then blast all the way over and kill their trebuchet first." ”

"This is also a trebuchet?" Wu Teng asked blankly.

"Yes, it's also a trebuchet, but in our Ming army, we all call him Thunderbolt!" Lu Feng said with a smile: "It's winter now, and there is snow everywhere, if it's another three seasons now, you can see why they are called Thunderbolt Fire." ”

There was a loud sound in front of him, and Wu Teng's body shook up, "Heavy crossbow, it's heavy crossbow!" ”

On the city wall, there were indeed many heavy crossbows shooting at the black house, and every time they hit, there was a deafening sound.

"Wujun Shou rest assured, this black house is covered with iron plates outside, he is afraid of being hit by a weapon like a trebuchet, but he is not afraid of such a crossbow machine, even if he can shoot through the iron plate wrapped on the outside, he has no ability to hurt the inside, and it has no effect on the thunderbolt at all." Lu Feng didn't care at all.

"If the heavy crossbow doesn't work, I'm afraid that the city will send troops and horses to raid!" Wu Teng's eyes flashed, "General Lu, next to each of your thunderbolts, there are less than fifty soldiers, and they are very scattered, if there is a surprise attack in the city, you will transfer troops from the rear, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

"Wu Junshou, do you see those little guys scurrying back and forth? His name was Rush Car. If the Qi army in the city really rushes out, you can see what they are capable of. Lu Feng smiled and said.

As soon as Lu Feng's words fell, the gate of Lingchuan County City suddenly opened, and more than 100 cavalry with hundreds of infantry burst out, each holding a torch in his hand.

"They're going to make a thunderbolt fire with oil!" Wu Teng exclaimed.

Lu Feng flattened his mouth, "The idea is good, but there is a gap between the ideal and the reality." But speaking of which, this defender's response is really good. ”

Wu Teng listened to it with great concern in his heart, of course it was good, Lao Tzu fought for more than ten days with tens of thousands of people, and the best result so far was only touching the city wall, and I don't know how much worse it was from the capture.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the crossbow machines on the rushing array car in Lu Feng's mouth start their attack. With the sound of a crackle, the crossbow arrows rained down on the Qi troops who rushed out of the city gates.

Wu Teng's eyes widened, and he looked straight at the rushing carts that were splashing crossbow arrows almost without stopping, and all that sounded in his ears was the neighing, wailing, and falling sound of people and horses.

Huang Chuanbing in the city was completely dumbfounded, of course he saw the great threat of those black houses to the city wall, so he had to send the few elite forces left in his hands, even if the loss was big, he would destroy those damn black houses, he saw it very accurately, it was impossible to easily build a weapon like this, as long as one was destroyed, then the enemy would have one less.

But what made him sad was that these elites sent out, let alone destroying these black houses, couldn't even get close to them, seeing his soldiers being shot into hedgehogs one after another and falling on the road of charging, Huang Chuanbing's whole body strength seemed to be drained.

"Thunderbolts, attacking the walls, charging the vehicles, covering the shooting. Siege trestle, step forward, lean against the wall! Lu Feng gave orders one after another.

Another strange thing was pushed by the soldiers desperately towards the city wall, while running, the soldiers on both sides were still desperately turning the two cranks, and then Wu Teng saw that an oblique trestle appeared in front of his eyes, when there was a bang, the top side leaned against the city wall, the Ming soldiers had already shouted along these trestle bridges towards the city wall, rushing to the front, it was Yang Zhi, holding his black big sword, a small sword revolving around him, like a hell demon god, between several ups and downs, has rushed to the city walls.
