Chapter two hundred and sixty-four master pot lifter
Looking around, there is not a single towering hill within the range of the archers near Xiangyang City.
Ordinary small mounds simply cannot meet the needs of archery.
Liu Yu looked around and quickly found a way to deal with it.
“Let the archers stand on the catapults!”
Catapult?
Following Liu Yu's gaze, the huge catapult finally caught Tan Pingzhi's sight.
This kind of vehicle is indeed very tall, but can it be used for archery?
Lao Tan's doubts were quickly solved by Liu Yu.
“We have brought so many catapults, there is no problem if one or two are missing.”
“Besides, the catapults are so huge that each one can carry at least a dozen archers, which can greatly enhance our offensive capabilities.”
“What a great idea!” Tan Pingzhi agreed immediately without thinking too hard.
How could the idea of sending slaves be wrong?
As long as he spoke, Tan Ping had no doubts and obeyed everything.
Taking the rocket launchers with them, they bent forward with difficulty in the battle formation of the soldiers in order to avoid the attacks of the Di Qin archers.
In order to defeat magic with magic, Liu Yu and the others also tried their best.
Why can’t the cavalry lead the way when attacking a city?
Every time he thought about this, Liu Yu felt unsatisfied and always wanted to find a breakthrough. He set his sights on the Battle of Xiangyang, and he must let his archery, horse riding and archery, which he is good at, shine in this land!
“A few more archers!”
"quick!"
“I’ve got a vacancy here!”
In the front battle formation, after experiencing an initial overwhelming advantage, the Di Qin soldiers soon found their sense.
After all, they are defending and you are attacking, and although others are well prepared, your Beifu soldiers have come all the way from afar. With only limited troops, your shortcomings will soon be exposed.
“You can still sit still?”
“Aren’t you in a hurry?”
Seeing the casualties of the Beifu soldiers increasing, Shen Suanzi's face became more and more ugly. Of course Wang Mi felt it when he was beside her.
“Of course I’m anxious!”
“However, didn’t you see that the slaves and others have already deployed the rocket launchers? If you hold on for a while, the situation will definitely get better!”
What he said sounds nice, but in fact it’s just that you are not prepared to do anything by yourself!
Shen Suanzi said disdainfully: "Why not let the cavalry shoot arrows?"
“Isn’t this a waste of war horses?”
No wonder Shen Suanzi is anxious. Today, the most powerful unit among the Beifu soldiers, the cavalry, has not been used at all.
Not only were they not put to use, under Wang Mi's arrangement, all the cavalry teams in Beifuzhong were waiting at the back of the team, acting like bystanders.
Who wouldn’t be anxious after seeing this situation?
“How is this a waste?”
“I am obviously saving manpower.”
“Cavalry is useless in attacking a city. Even if we charge forward now, they can neither climb the city wall nor drill into the tunnel, so what’s the use?”
“Our current purpose is to hold back the Di Qin troops before reinforcements arrive, so that they dare not leave the city to fight.”
“So that’s what you had in mind.”
Shen Suanzi's face finally showed a look of understanding. Wang Mi looked at her happily, this little lady is really interesting.
Looking at her being a swindler in Xiangyang City, she is very skilled in her business. She can coax a group of young ladies into ecstasy, and she can also actively pass on information to Police Shen outside the city.
It seems that he at least knows something about military affairs.
“But is it really okay to leave everything to Liu Yu and the others?”
Seeing the two men, Jinu Ping and Ping, struggling to put the rocket man on the catapult, Wang Mi nodded appreciatively, but Shen Suanzi hadn't figured out the trick yet.
“No problem, just wait and see!”
Had he not seen them climbing onto the catapult, Wang Mi wouldn't have dared to vouch for it. Now it seems that Jinnu still has some sense.
This idea is basically the same as his idea.
“In your opinion, how effective are the Di and Qin soldiers in the city?”
Wang Mi raised another topic, obviously not wanting to end the conversation like this. Shen Suanzi was chewing the flatbread in his mouth, looking thoughtful.
“I’m really not good at observing the enemy’s combat effectiveness.”
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Wang's heart suddenly went cold. It seemed that he had really overestimated this woman's ability.
"However, in my opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei soldiers in the city is much higher than that of the Di and Qin soldiers, although the Xianbei soldiers only have about five thousand."
Just when Wang Mi gave up hope, everything took a turn for the worse.
His face lit up with joy: "Five thousand people?"
“You mean there are only five thousand Xianbei soldiers in the city?”
“What do you mean by only?” Shen Suanzi glanced at him with disdain.
"How many people are there in the entire Xianbei Army? This is already a lot, okay!"
"As far as I know, the number of Xianbei people who were captured by Fu Jian in Chang'an City was only a few hundred thousand. There were also old, young, women and children among them. How many of them can really serve as soldiers?"
“If Xiangyang wasn’t a famous military town, even these five thousand people wouldn’t be able to bring them here!”
“What’s more, the troops are led by Murong Chui himself, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated!”
The current number one fierce general in Xianbei has only 5,000 soldiers under his command in an important town like Xiangyang!
This is really shocking news and completely unexpected.
And these five thousand people are preparing to cooperate with the Beifu soldiers!
Thinking of this, Wang Mi's confidence increased a bit. The battle had begun. At this moment, Murong Chui in the city didn't know what he was thinking.
When the reinforcements arrive, it’s time to send a message to General Murong.
Wang Mi touched his chest. There was a handwritten letter from Murong Xiao Chongchong that he had prepared a long time ago.
“But, can the reinforcements really arrive in time?” Shen Suanzi murmured.
Why does this person choose which pot to open and which pot to pick up?
………
The most leisurely person in Xiangyang City now is Murong Chui. This descendant of Dayan is almost the only remaining strong general of the Xianbei clan. Now he is sitting in a corner of the city tower, watching this scene with great interest. Chickens peck each other.
let's hit!
Just fight!
Murong Chui, who was sitting in the corner of the city gate tower, felt very complicated now.
He hoped that the Beifu soldiers would be stronger and beat the shit out of the arrogant Di Qin soldiers in the city.
I also hope that the Beifu soldiers will not be so strong. When they have nothing to do, they will naturally turn to Murong Chui for help.
With the cooperation of both sides, it is not easy to break out of Xiangyang?
Murong Chui was a good soldier. Although Fu Rui had not thought of him during this battle, he still came to the tower to observe the situation.
He hid behind a double-layered parapet, protected by Xianbei soldiers on both sides. In front, a fierce battle between Diqin soldiers and Beifu soldiers was going on, but no one noticed him.
It should be said that it’s not that they don’t want to pay attention to Murong Chui, but that they don’t have the energy.
As many generals have warned before, the combat capabilities of this group of Jin troops are indeed outstanding.
All kinds of weapons were taking turns to go into battle, and they were all heading to the city to greet them. There was no shortage of stones as big as millstones and heavy crossbows that could break the city walls.
