Not long after the army left the city, Mi Fang asked inexplicably: "General Tian, you said that you have to march in a hurry, why is the army walking so slowly?"
Tian Yu smiled and said, "Our siege crossbow needs to be pulled by a horse-drawn cart, so the march is relatively slow, but General Mi can rest assured that I have already ordered the other three armies to leave a day later."
Mi Fang was looking forward to that heavy siege crossbow. He had only seen it disassembled, but hadn't seen it assembled yet, so he didn't know how powerful it was.
It took the army three days to arrive at Duchang. Some of the stragglers encountered on the way were not opponents of the Xuanjia army at all, and they were all scared away after shooting randomly.
Tian Yu looked at the closed city gate of Duchang and said, "Assemble a siege crossbow and let them see our advanced weapons."
The guards on the city wall did not attack the city when they saw the large army outside the city, and did not see them preparing ladders or anything. Dozens of people gathered around a carriage to carry things.
Mi Fang personally led a thousand Xuanjia troops to protect the surroundings. He mainly wanted to see what this thing looked like.
It took more than half an hour to finally install the heavy crossbow. Seeing the shape of the heavy crossbow, Mi Fang couldn't help exclaiming, "How many stones are these six bows and arrows?"
"General Qi, every bow and arrow is a bow of twelve stones."
"hiss!"
Mi Fang gasped, twelve stone bows, six at a time, the sum is quite terrifying, what can withstand the arrows fired by the heavy crossbow?
Mi Fang looked at the seemingly weak city wall, and mourned for the soldiers in the city.
Mi Fang ordered: "Aim at the gate of the city, install arrows, and then send someone to persuade you to surrender!"
"Soldiers in the city, listen up. We are the army of the Wei State. If we open the city and surrender, you will not die. Otherwise, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die, and all our wives and children will be sent as slaves."
The soldiers in the city panicked. How could there be soldiers and horses of Wei State outside the city? Shouldn't they attack from the west?
"After a quarter of an hour, if you don't open the city and surrender, we will not be polite."
After the soldiers who persuaded them to surrender came back, they stopped shouting. Rather than persuade them to surrender, they wanted to try the power of this heavy crossbow.
"Sworn to death!"
"Sworn to death!"
"Sworn to death!"
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
There was a sound of an arrow piercing the air, and the arrow, several feet long, headed straight for the city gate.
"Mom..."
Chapter 382 Besieged on all sides, Yuan Shao fell into despair
"Whoa!"
With a crisp sound, the city gate was directly smashed by the huge arrow, and the soldiers behind the gate were instantly shattered.
"Devil!"
"abnormal……"
"Run, the cavalry is coming!"
The soldiers in the city were in a panic, and just by the power of this arrow, they scared the crap out of them.
Wei Jun's siege equipment is too powerful.
"Damn it, they're loading arrows again."
"We surrender!"
"I'm not fighting!"
"It's so thick, who can bear it!"
The soldiers in the city dropped their weapons one after another, and they would die when they touched the giant arrows. They didn't want to be pierced by such a thick arrow.
Yuan Shao's soldiers walked out of the city slowly and came to Tian Yu's army. There were more than 3000 guards, except for the dozens of people who were penetrated, none of them dared to resist.
After Mi Fang entered the city, she was horrified when she saw the situation behind the city gate. Fortunately, they were not enemies. Otherwise, with this siege weapon, even if he had a hundred lives, it would not be enough for him to play.
"General Tian, how many such heavy crossbows do we have in our army?"
Tian Yu thought for a while and said, "My lord said there are only a hundred of them!"
Only... a hundred?
Mi Fang wiped off a cold sweat, one shot can make the opponent lose the city gate, if hundreds of them are fired together, whether the city wall can be kept is a problem.
Tian Yu asked the deputy general to lead a thousand infantry, stay here to watch over the soldiers, and then continue to lead the army forward.
Yuan Shao in the city of Linzi in the Qi State was admiring flowers with his wives when a scout ran in hastily.
"Report, Your Majesty, Mi Zhu, the prefect of Donglai County, has joined Cao Shuo and is leading an army to attack the Beihai Kingdom. Several counties to the east of the Beihai Kingdom have been attacked by the enemy. Cao Shuo's general Tian Yu is leading the army towards Ju County, the administrative center of the Beihai Kingdom."
"what?"
Yuan Shao was terrified. Ju County is only two hundred miles away from Linzi. If the opponent captures Ju County, he will be in danger.
Damn Mi Zhu, he actually rebelled at this time. If he knew it earlier, he would have stayed in Linzi directly and given him soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shao called Sui Yuanjin and said, "Lead [-] elite soldiers to guard Ju County for me. You must not let the Wei army enter the territory of Qi."
"promise!"
Yuan Shao was in the backyard, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Cao Shuo had already hit Ju County, what should he do?Now there is only one army, if the other three also start to attack, how long can he defend?
It's time to prepare yourself for the future, Qingzhou is estimated to be finished soon, where is he going?Yangzhou?Jingzhou?
I don't know if Yuan Shu will take him in. Their relationship may be reluctant to form an alliance. If he lets him take him in, it's good to say that he has value. If he doesn't have value, Yuan Shu may be the first to kill himself.
"Su You, you immediately call back the [-] troops outside the city to the city, and then bring all the people and food from the surrounding counties to the capital. We are going to defend Linzi to the death."
"promise!"
Su Yu didn't expect that Yuan Shao would choose to defend to the death at this time. However, there is no other way if he does not defend to the death. The opponent's army has already reached Ju County, and their soldiers are all inferior to the Wei army in the north, south, and west. The east is originally Mi Zhu. On the defensive, now his betrayal has plunged the entire country of Qi into crisis.
Yuan Shao looked at the lieutenants and said, "You lead people to quickly cut down the wood, move the stones, and prepare all the materials for the defense of the city that can be prepared for me."
"promise!"
Yuan Shao personally went into battle, commanded the people in the city, and began to strengthen the city wall. All work had to be completed before Tian Yu's army arrived.
"Report, Zhang He led an army to attack Licheng, Hua Xiong led cavalry to harass other counties in Jinan, and took away a lot of food, grass and equipment from our army."
"Report, the enemy generals Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, and Jiang Qin led an army to invade Le'an country. Le'an country is in danger of Linji, please ask the lord for help."
"Report, the enemy generals Zang Ba, Zhao Feng, and Dian Wei led an army to suddenly enter the Beihai Kingdom, and the eldest son was besieged in Banyang!"
Several consecutive battle reports made Yuan Shao's eyes darken, his heart ache, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.
"Damn Cao Shuo, to be so ruthless!"
"Come here, quickly carry the lord to rest."
In a daze, Yuan Shao found many people standing beside him, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, Xu You, Feng Ji and so on...
Yuan Shao was terrified, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back if you didn't defend the city?"
"I'm here to take your life!"
"what……"
Yuan Shao exclaimed, and suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely from fright, his face extremely pale.
"Husband, are you having a nightmare!"
"Husband, you need to rest more!"
Yuan Shao's concubines beat Yuan Shao's back while persuading him.
Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "How's the battle going?"
"Husband, the young masters are still defending against the enemy. Lord Cui Yan has sent news that Yuan Shu has agreed to the alliance. King Sun Ce of Wu sent a general to lead an army of [-] sailors to help out. They have already set off from Guangling County."
"call!"
Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and when Cui Yan came back, he would definitely reward him heavily. Although Sun Ce only sent [-] sailors, Wu's navy is invincible. As long as they can repel the northern navy, he will have more He still has a chance against the other three forces.
"Can the highway send reinforcements?"
"This concubine doesn't know!"
Yuan Shao hurriedly got up, he couldn't rest now, he wanted to urge the people in the city to strengthen the city.
"Report, Yuan Shu sent a letter."
Chapter 383
"Read!"
Yuan Shao is not in the mood to read the letter now.
"Brother, I heard that Qi State was besieged by Cao Shuo, so I sent generals to attack Huai Ling and Xu County to contain Xuzhou's troops."
Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he was very depressed. Why are you restraining Xuzhou's soldiers and horses? Xuzhou's army didn't move. Now it's Donglai County, Taishan County, and Jibei Kingdom's soldiers and horses who are attacking him.
But after thinking about it, he could only sigh. Yuan Shu's troops could not cross Cao Cao's territory and come directly to Qingzhou.
Now he can only hope that Sun Ce's army can arrive in time, otherwise he will really be in danger.
"Report, General Gan, Mi Zhu, the prefect of Donglai County, has asked us for help. A navy of unknown force has appeared in the south of Donglai County and is harassing the coastal areas of Donglai County."
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin who were harassing Yuan Shao in the north of Qingzhou were surprised when they suddenly received a rescue letter from Mi Zhu.
Whose army is the navy from the south?Yuan Shao's water village was destroyed by them.
"Jiang Qin, you lead [-] sailors and continue to harass Qingzhou. Zhou Tai and I lead [-] soldiers and five giant ships to see where the little bandits come from!"
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai rushed to the south of Donglai County with five giant ships, more than a dozen building boats, and hundreds of small boats.
Chen Wu and Zhu Huan, who were raiding several counties by the sea in Donglai County, were carrying grain and grass to the boat with a proud face.
Chen Wu said with a sneer: "General Zhu, there isn't a single sailor in the north. In the future, the sailors of our state of Wu will be invincible in the world?"
Zhu Heng agreed: "It is said that the iron cavalry of the State of Wei is invincible in the world, but when they meet our navy army of the State of Wu on the water, they will still capsize them."
"Two generals, our soldiers are so tyrannical, why don't you take this opportunity to loot Jizhou Bohai and Youzhou?"
Zhu Heng's face darkened, and he said angrily: "What do you know, we are here to help Yuan Shao out of the siege, not to fight Cao Shuo hard."
Chen Wu thought for a while and said: "I heard that Cao Shuo also has sailors, but I don't know how strong they are. If you are lucky enough to meet them, let them see them. Our southern sailors are very powerful."
While the two were talking, a soldier suddenly screamed, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at, and when they saw the mighty water army in the distance, they panicked. There must be hundreds of warships, and there are five giants among them. This is too frightening up.
"Quick, defend the enemy, don't carry food and grass anymore."
Zhu Heng shouted loudly, and the Wu Guoshui army quickly assembled to meet the enemy. Their unruffled appearance in the face of danger is indeed unimaginable.
Standing on top of the giant ship, Gan Ning saw that they were able to quickly form an formation. In his heart, he admired the Zhou Yu whom the lord mentioned. This is an elite team.
"Prepare for the heavy crossbow! Aim at the opponent's building ship, prepare for throwing stones, and aim at the opponent's small boat."
"Come on! Burn their big ship!"
Zhu Heng pointed at the long spear in his hand, and the hundred scorpions behind him rushed up directly.
In their eyes, although these giant ships are indeed bluffing, their Wu Kingdom's navy is invincible.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Five giant arrows and countless throwing stones flew directly towards Wu's navy.
"what……"
"Is that the flagpole that passed by just now?"
"I'm stupid, you're blind, that's obviously a tree stump!"
Boom!
The two large boats were hit directly, and a big hole appeared in the hull, which made Zhu Heng and Chen Wu break out in cold sweat. What was that thing that shot over just now?
They didn't see it clearly at all, and the two buildings beside them were directly pierced through. This was the first time they had seen such terrifying power.
