Chapter 246: The Art of Defense
The first line of defense was captured, but with heavy losses. However, Ma Quzhi obviously didn't care, he was more concerned about another thing.
"Our eldest son is not dead, which is interesting. ”
In the future of Ma Qu's dream, at this time, the eldest prince should have disappeared, and later, there was no trace of him, and it is said that his injuries worsened and died on the way to being hunted and killed.
Therefore, he also relaxed the pursuit of the eldest prince, turned his head and led the troops to Mount Tai, but he didn't expect to see the eldest prince here now, and obviously, the eldest prince's injury was almost healed, and it did not affect the action at all.
"In that case, let's kill you again. Ma Qu was sick and talked to himself, and when he thought of the happy place, he laughed and trembled.
He turned his head and said to Liang behind him: "Protect the lonely Yuan'er and Huan'er." ”
Liang Qupseudo bowed slightly: "The ministers will protect the prince and princess." ”
Ma Quzhi nodded, and led the people towards it.
In the camp, the first line of defense and the second line of defense are like terraces, between the lines of defense, there is a drop of nearly one zhang high, and a trench of two zhang wide and one zhang deep is dug, which directly increases the drop to two zhang. The second line of defense faced the edge of the first line of defense, and a one-foot high wall was built out of earth, stone and wood.
In this way, it is directly equivalent to the first line of defense and the second line of defense, with a wall as high as three zhang, plus the space of the first line of defense itself is limited, and a slightly larger siege equipment cannot be used at all, so its defense capability is definitely strong enough, if it is against an ordinary army, as long as the materials inside the wall are sufficient, and there are spies, even if there are 10,000 people outside the wall, it will not be able to take here.
However, they are facing an army of mad demons and demons, and they cannot deal with it with common sense. Therefore, under the command of the eldest prince, he frantically added an attic and an arrow tower to the wall, and the collected dung was also transported to the wall and burned into hot gold juice. The lower half of the wall is made one by one, and behind the small holes there is an ambush of gunners, who can pierce their spears through the small holes at any time.
This is the ancestral defensive art of the Qin State, if the defensive art of Liang to pseudo is to give full play to the existing material and manpower, squeeze out every bit of potential, and pay more attention to your personal charm and command. Then the ancestral defensive art of the Qin State obviously pays more attention to the preparation in the early stage, they will cherish every time, use all resources, go all out to build fortifications, and then rely on excellent soldiers to sit in the town, and defend step by step.
One has an extremely high ceiling and one has a very high lower line, so I can't say who is stronger, but it is obvious that it is very suitable for the Shu army facing this situation at this moment.
The generals glanced at the two walls, and then swarmed towards the ramp of the doorway, brandishing their weapons to smash the heavy gates.
Inside the gate, the soldiers of the Shu army held a two-zhang long spear, and set up a frenzied assassination on the gate, the spearhead was stained with blood, and there were constantly demon soldiers and demon generals falling.
Not only that, but the soldiers in the attic overhead poured the hot gold juice down, and a foul smell permeated the air, and the demon soldiers and demon generals suffered more and more losses.
But they are not mortals, they are mad demons, subjects of the King of Demons, and as long as the King of Demons is behind them, oppressing with authority, they have nothing to fear.
More and more demon soldiers and demon generals rushed up, and the two sides were in a stalemate for less than half a stick of incense across the door, only to hear a loud click, and the gentle slope of the door collapsed.
Originally, the gentle slope looked like it was made of mud on the outside, but in fact, it was a wooden shelf, and there was a large pit under the wooden shelf, and the big pit was full of sharpened wooden piles.
The wooden frame is not strong, and under a certain weight, this slope is very safe, but if it exceeds a certain weight, the wooden frame will collapse and break, and the people on it will naturally fall.
The demon soldier demon general screamed in the pit, and the demon soldier demon general behind was stunned and at a loss.
The soldiers of the Shu army at the door breathed a sigh of relief, they began to be sincerely grateful to Cai Wei, Cai Wei's sword, cut into the ground is a big pit, digging a hole is really good, even a hundred men are not as good as her.
Without her contribution, the defense of this camp would have dropped by at least 30%.
Seeing that there was no way to break through the doorway, the demon soldier demon general, who had been stunned for a while, turned his head and lifted the ladder up again.
The shooter in the attic quickly aimed at the Demon Soldier Demon General who was carrying the ladder, but there were also shooters on the Demon General's side, and there were more of them.
The entire sky above the first and second lines of defense was filled with the sound of continuous breaking of the air, black arrows, white arrow feathers, and locusts shuttling back and forth.
Countless arrows were shot into the attic, shot into the second line of defense, and some were even shot into the third line of defense, and the Shu army's side was naturally suppressed from a distance.
The rain of arrows continued until the ladder was lifted under the wall, and then the demon soldiers and generals encountered another dilemma.
Since the trench under the wall was two zhang wide and one zhang deep, the wall was obviously shorter when viewed from the outside, so they did not expect it to be enough, and the ladder they hastily built was directly shorter.
One of the demon soldiers jumped down the trench, put the ladder on the wall, and climbed up quickly, dodging the spear that stabbed out of the wall with great difficulty, and then looked up at the attic above him for a moment.
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had never encountered such an embarrassing situation in his memory, which made him feel at a loss for a while.
The rest of the screams came, for he was stunned for a moment, and the demon soldiers who were crawling up below him stopped, and he could not dodge being stabbed with a spear, and a large hole was opened in his stomach.
The demon soldier looked at the weapon in his hand, and then at the same kind of man who had fallen in the trench and twitched, and simply threw away the weapon, kicked the ladder with his strong thighs, and grabbed the edge of the attic railing with both hands and climbed up.
However, before he could climb into the attic, he was cut by a knife in the throat and fell headlong.
Looking at the performance of the demon soldiers and generals, the eldest prince was bitter in his heart and relieved at the same time.
This is also the first time he has fought such a battle.
Among the human race, no one will fight such a battle, first of all, the morale will not be able to hold it, but these demon soldiers and demon generals of the Great Zhou have no problem at all, they just rushed upwards vigorously, exchanging their lives for time, which made the first line of defense arranged by the eldest prince be captured so quickly. Fortunately, these demon soldiers and generals are not without flaws, they seem to have a problem with their intelligence, and when they encounter unexpected situations, they are easy to be in a daze, thus missing many opportunities.
"The eldest prince. The sound of the ghost crying sounded behind the eldest prince.
"Brother Ghost Cry, what's wrong?" asked the eldest prince suspiciously.
"Something happened in the back mountain. ”
The eldest prince turned his head to look, and wolf smoke was rising from the back mountain.
"Am I going to take a trip?"
"No, I don't. The eldest prince looked at the steady stream of demon soldiers and demon generals: "It's likely to be a feint over there." ”
"What if it's the main attack!"
"Then you can only wait until you die. The eldest prince smiled bitterly: "It's already so difficult to hold here, if you divide the troops again, you can only die faster." ”
"There are demons!" one soldier shouted.
A demon wolf jumped up, as if it wanted to jump directly into the attic. The soldiers in the attic hurriedly raised their swords and guns, and Ghost Cry also hurried over with their guns, but the demon wolf obviously underestimated the distance and his own strength, and crashed into the wall and fell into the trench under the wall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the wall, one after another demon wolves appeared, their red eyes and grinning teeth, and on the back of one of the largest demon wolves, the sword in the hand of a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe pointed far away.
