Chapter Thirty-Seventh IX Slippery
"Huh?" Yunfeng was startled. The implication of this man's words was that the defenders of Huguan didn't know that his 100,000 cavalrymen who had entered Bingzhou had been completely wiped out. Think about it, it was only six months ago.
It was snowing heavily that day and the mountains were blocked. Lu County was captured first, and there were guards blocking the crossing. There was no possibility of transmitting the news. It was normal to not know the truth.
"Humph!" Yunfeng snorted coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
The man's chest and abdomen straightened up, and he said proudly: "I am the Great General Longxiang of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Great Sikong, and I am also a Zhixiong!"
Zhi Xiong is also one of the Eighteen Riders of Shi Le, and is from the Dayue clan!
"Hahahaha~~" Yunfeng looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Zhixiong, the one hundred thousand bandits from Zhao State who entered Bingzhou have been completely wiped out by our Qin army, and no one escaped! I advise you to surrender obediently, or surrender, or
You can save one life, otherwise, no chickens or dogs will be spared wherever my army goes!"
Zhixiong's expression changed slightly, but he smiled disdainfully: "So you are the King of Qin, and you are quite capable of making big words. I would like to advise you, if you want to pretend to surrender to me, don't even think about it! If you have the ability, just send your troops.
Attack, stop being wordy!"
Yunfeng was really angry. He had seen arrogant people before, but he had never seen such arrogant people. He immediately called back: "Push the car up, block his crossbow, and give Gu a kerosene bomb to greet him properly!"
"Yes!" The guards immediately got busy. Some people unloaded the ballistae and stacked the carts in front of them. Others moved the crossbow-type ballistae to the back and replaced it with a throwing ballistae.
The crossbow-type ballistae relies on saturation attacks to attack the enemy, but due to terrain restrictions, there are only a dozen or so sparsely populated ballistas, so the effect is indeed limited. And it also has a shortcoming. Because the ballistic trajectory is flat, it can only be fired in a row, and cannot be fired like this.
Throwing ballistae were arranged in several rows for intensive strikes.
The guards were very quick with their hands and feet. Before long, ten rows, five rows, and a total of fifty throwing ballistae were ready. With an order, fifty fireballs soared into the sky, carrying a faint black smoke.
It caught everyone's attention.
"Bang bang bang~~" After a muffled sound, a fire was ignited in the area about five to ten feet below Guancheng, including the city head. Thick smoke rose into the sky. Unexpectedly, there was no such thing as the city head.
Screams came.
It turned out that the Qin army's kerosene bombs were no longer a secret. As soon as the fireballs took off, the Jie army immediately started running towards the city. The distance of 500 steps was enough to escape. Therefore, the kerosene bombs were released as soon as they were released.
A fire had just broken out at the top of the city, and another round of crossbow arrows was fired from the shooting hole in the city wall. This time, it was not a three-foot giant arrow, but a stepping arrow, the kind that can be nailed into a stone wall from hundreds of steps away!
The stacked vehicles couldn't stop them at all. After a burst of sawdust, they collapsed. But that wasn't enough. Huge arrows like spears continued to strike, and they were shot into the ballista array. The four ballistas were once again scrapped.
!
"I scolded the guy next door! Who the hell came up with such a bad idea!" Yunfeng couldn't help but curse! In the nearly ten years since time travel, has he ever experienced such a humiliation? He could even guess that in the hole,
Jie Jun was laughing happily!
Although the guards were not injured, each of them looked unhappy and filled with indignation. They had followed Yunfeng on the expedition and had not suffered any losses. This was the first time they had encountered this kind of thing today.
Gritting his teeth with hatred in his heart, Yunfeng looked at Guancheng again. Suddenly he found that Huguan was not as steep as Jiange, but it was a bit more difficult to attack. The key point was that the dozen or so people
Although the kerosene bombs can ignite a fire that reaches the sky at the top of the city, it has no firing hole.
But they were helpless. If they attacked under the cover of kerosene bombs, the giant arrows fired from the arrow holes would cause heavy casualties to the soldiers. Moreover, at a distance of 500 steps, the kerosene bombs could not accurately hit the city head.
Part of it will fall under the city, making it impossible for your side to get close to the city.
For a moment, Yunfeng had a headache, but Yu Wenjun sighed and asked: "General, why are his crossbows so accurate? Look, you are still using a crossbow. Only two of the dozen hit the target.
The city wall and the rest were all hit to the sky, he must have used a bed crossbow, how could the bed crossbow be more accurate than a ballista?"
Yunfeng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Jie Jun has been stationed in Huguan for several years. He can adjust the angle of the crossbow through daily practice and mark it. In this way, he can achieve a relatively high hit rate.
, and we are new here, it is normal for us to miss, not to mention the distance is really too far, even if we imitate him to find out the accuracy through practice, it will be difficult to hit the hole that is only one foot square, which is really a headache. "
"Oh!" Yu Wenjun responded bitterly, turned his head and looked around unwillingly, and after a while, asked again: "By the way, General, the last time you attacked Jiange, didn't you climb the cliffs on both sides and throw kerosene bombs from above?
Isn't it better for you to work harder, climb up and throw ropes, and the soldiers will drop thousands of kerosene bombs, and the enemy soldiers in the city wall will be roasted to death. In this way, won't you be able to conquer Huguan?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed signs of excitement.
Yun Feng said displeasedly: "Miss Yu, you look up and don't even look at what season it is now? The cliff is covered with ice and it's not slippery. How can you climb up? Although Gu is breaking through the void, but
I don’t even have the ability!”
Everyone looked up one after another. They had not noticed it before, but now they took a closer look and immediately discovered the difficulty Yunfeng mentioned.
The height of the cliff is about a hundred feet. The cliff is straight and covered with ice edges of different thicknesses and lengths. The afterglow of the setting sun is projected on it, reflecting the dazzling colors. The higher you go up, the denser and thicker the ice edges become. The longest one is
It is actually three to four feet in length, especially within the ten feet or so near the top of the cliff, the ice edges are connected together to form an ice wall!
A feeling of disappointment gradually rose, and Yu Wenjun said sarcastically: "Didn't you expect that the crime was so vicious? However, this is not possible, and that is not possible. Should we just waste it here and wait until the ice and snow melt in the spring before we can attack?"
Yunfeng was also quite discouraged. He stared blankly at the dark hole. With his eyesight, he could vaguely see the arrow glowing coldly in the hole!
"How about we withdraw from Hu Pass and attack Shiyan Pass or Tianjing Pass?" Liu Yueru frowned and made a suggestion.
Yunfeng shook his head without thinking: "Shiyan Pass and Tianjing Pass are as steep as Hu Pass, and it also has Guan City. If it builds an arrow hole in Guan City, wouldn't the journey be in vain? With Hu Pass
Judging from Guan’s situation, this is very possible.”
Xun Guanniang took it and complained unwillingly: "Is there really no other way? We can only wait until spring? It's only the first month of the year, we have to wait at least two months! Or only General Han can conquer Junyi and cross the Yellow River
Attack Huguan from the rear."
"Hey~~" Yunfeng sighed, laughed and shook his head: "Damn it! No wonder Zhixiong dares to be so arrogant. Let's ignore him for now. Let's think about it carefully. There must be a road to the mountain.
How can a living person suffocate to death? Come on, it’s getting late, let’s go to the back to cook, go to bed early after dinner, and eat cumin lamb chops tonight!”
As soon as he heard this, Yu Wenjun immediately lost his worries and shouted: "The general is right, filling your stomach is the right thing to do. Let's think about tomorrow's things tomorrow." After saying that, he kicked his legs and ran back, even the nearby people
