Chapter 252
Chapter 252
Jiangdong's 50,000-strong army attacked Jingzhou in four ways, causing the entire Jingzhou to be in turmoil and panic.
Ma Liang sent troops to escort the old lady, several of the lord's wives, and two sons to leave Xiangyang and go to Luoyang, but they did not agree, and they were willing to garrison here with the soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang.
At this time, the military and people's hearts in Xiangyang City were all stable, and the entire Jingzhou was also much more stable. If the old lady and the lord's wife do not leave, Xiangyang will definitely be able to hold it.
Although the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia were all occupied by Jiangdong, it was too far from Xiangyang, and the people and officials withdrew, so it did not have any impact.
Lu Xun's 20,000-strong army soon arrived in Xiangfan and was stationed under Xiangyang City.
The next day, Jiang Qin Zhoutai led 3,000 soldiers and horses, pushing catapults, arrow towers, and carrying ladders, hitting logs and other siege equipment to the city.
Liu Pan was dressed in armor and stood at the head of the city.
"Liu Pan, you only have a few thousand soldiers and horses, and you are not a match for our 20,000-strong army at all, I advise you to open the city early and surrender, lest the people suffer from the flames of war!" said Jiang Qin loudly.
"Jiangdong rats, untrustworthy people, have betrayed the alliance several times, what face is noisy here!" Liu Pan pointed at Jiang Qin with a large knife in his hand, "The knives and guns of the soldiers in my Xiangyang City have long been sharpened, waiting to cut off your dog's heads, and those who are not afraid of death will come to
attack the city!" "The warriors of Jiangdong, those who attack the head of the city, the bounty is one hundred, and the one who cuts off Liu Pan's head, the bounty is five hundred, give me the siege of the city!"
The two sides did not speculate, and a big war was about to break out.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The
three thousand soldiers of Jiangdong were divided into two phalanxes, the front were all sword and shield soldiers, the shields were raised high, and the soldiers who followed them carried the ladder, they did not rush, but slowly approached forward.
More than a dozen arrow towers were distributed around, and more than two dozen strong men carried the ramming logs, all of them slowly advancing with the soldiers.
The catapult was also ready, put the stones on it, and waited for the order to launch it at the head of the city immediately.
"Gale Crossbow, launch!" Liu Pan suddenly shouted.
I saw a long arrow fly down from the city and fly directly to the team of the Jiangdong soldier's catapult.
The place where the catapult was placed was originally outside the range of the bow and arrow, so there was no shield protection, and those soldiers were directly penetrated by the long arrow, and the screams continued.
Even if there is a shield, it can't be prevented, what kind of arrow is this? This is clearly a long gun, but who has so much strength, the spear can be thrown at such a distance, and the force is very strong.
Jiang Qin was shocked, the Gale
Crossbow was a sharp weapon of the Great Qin Empire, and it was invincible when attacking the Six Kingdoms,
and it was a nightmare for all the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms. But later, this weapon was lost, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai did not expect that they would encounter it today.
The soldiers next to the catapult had nowhere to hide, and were soon nailed to the ground by a spear, which was miserable.
"Quick, rush over!" shouted Jiang Qin, he had found that although the gale crossbow was powerful and had a long range, it was close and could not be used.
Of course, placing a windy crossbow at the head of the city is specifically for dealing with catapults. This kind of Nu car is very bulky, inconvenient to move, and cannot be played in the field, so it can only be used to defend the city.
Seeing that Jiangdong Bing's catapult could not play a role, Liu Pan was very happy in his heart, and at the same time admired the lord Liu Jun even more. In the past, he did not pay much attention to the production of these weapons, and believed that in order to win the war, it was necessary to train strong soldiers. Only now did I find that no matter how strong a soldier is, he is also flesh and blood, and he is vulnerable in the face of those sharp weapons.
Although the shield man blocked the feather arrows fired from the head of the city, after arriving at the city, the rolling wood thunder stones were thrown down together, causing great damage to the Jiangdong soldiers.
"Quick, release the arrows!" roared Jiang Qin.
The crossbowmen of the Jiangdong soldiers began to throw arrows at the city, and more than a dozen arrow towers had already approached the head of the city, and the two sides shot at each other.
Soldiers kept falling from the city or arrow towers, and war drums sounded. These drums excitedly excited, leaving them without any fear of death and blood, just shouting and rushing forward.
The soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind stepped on their corpses and continued to rush forward.
The ladder finally rested at the head of the city, and the Jiangdong soldiers climbed up in rows like ants on trees.
Screams, screams, and war drums mingled.
The corpses of soldiers on both sides and rolling wood thunder stones fell to the city one after another, and the entire city became a meat grinder. As soon as a living life approaches, it will be flesh and blood, and bones will be broken.
Finally, a soldier climbed to the head of the city, and a smile appeared on the faces of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. Being able to attack the city so quickly, the general of Zhenguo, Liu Pan, seems to have lost his name.
However, the next moment, their smiles froze.
Above the head of the city, a group of soldiers appeared, holding strange weapons in their hands, and they kept flying out of their feather arrows!
Pity those Jiangdong soldiers, after going to the head of the city, before the knife was raised, they had already become hedgehogs.
"Gong Yi, this is Liu Pan's plan, he wants
to shoot our soldiers at the head of the city!" Zhou
Tai suddenly realized that after his soldiers rushed to the head of the city, the crossbowmen under the city and on the arrow tower could no longer shoot arrows, so as not to cause accidental injuries to the Jiangdong soldiers, but at this time, the soldiers who rushed up could only let the other party shoot.
By this time, most of their soldiers had been lost. If you rush to the head of the city again, it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out
!" "Mingjin to collect the troops!"
"
Ding..." A sound of gold sounded, the soldiers on the ladder no longer rushed upward, and the Jiangdong soldiers under the city also began to retreat.
How could the crossbowmen at the head of the city let go of such an opportunity?
When Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai counted the soldiers, they found that there were only more than a thousand left, and they had to return to the camp to give orders.
After Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai reported the situation, Lu Xun and Cheng Pu did not punish them. The siege battle would have cost a lot, and the two of them were not at fault.
"Bo Yan, what is the strange weapon of the Han army that Jiang Qin Zhoutai said?" asked Cheng Pu.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a crossbow!" Lu Xun said with a sad face.
I have heard that the Mo family has made a weapon that can continuously fire crossbow arrows, called a crossbow!"
"Why does Liu Jun have this kind of weapon?"
"I have also been thinking about this problem, old general, you might as well think about it, Liu Jun fights, every time there will be new weapons, such as thunderbolts, Han Dao, this time there are strong wind crossbows and even crossbows, why is
this?" "Could it be that there are Mo family heirs to help them?" "
If that's the case, this Xiangyang will be difficult to capture!"
"Bo Yan, or we divide the troops, I will lead a team of soldiers and horses to attack Fancheng, and you are here to contain Liu Pan." "
Good!"
