Chapter 192: The Peak of Cold Weapons

"The brother of Freedom is the master of this matter. I think that the position of Jiedushi in this town is always given." In the view of King Li Congshan, Sun Yu killed the Qingyuan army. Chen Hong's entry was only in autumn and could not jump for a few days. Now Sun Yu not only occupied Jianzhou, but also took over the territory of the Qingyuan army. It would definitely not work without a Jiedushi. Moreover, his army now must have exceeded the quota given by the court.

"This is natural, but is the marquis a little low in this title?" Sun Yu was an earl before. It was obviously not appropriate to have such great achievements and increase the first level.

"This is the marquis, and the emperor's brother is better off thinking about it." King Han knew that his brother did not want to give the position of Duke so early. The marquis is actually not low, and he can be regarded as a first-class wealthy family.

"Well, I have to give some more money, but if I get the benefits of the sea trade in the two states of Zhangquan?" Speaking of money, Li Yu remembered the big cakes drawn by Sun Yu. The benefits of sea trade were made every day, and he also hoped that he would help him make money and enrich the national treasury.

"Brother, this is too early. It has not been settled yet. Besides, the construction of a ship is not a matter of one or two days, so it is not advisable to mention it at this time." King Han knew that his brother was worried about money every day, but he had to give him a breath. After Zhangzhou was pacified, he would build a ship to sea and go to sea. Now it is still quelling the chaos. As for the agreement between the three major families and Sun Yu, he didn't know. He thought that Sun Yu would build a ship to sea by himself and compete with merchant ships from other places. After all, there were many maritime merchants in Nanyue and Nanhan.

"Well, just consider it an investment." Li Yu felt so distressed when he thought of having to allocate money again.

The rice wine used to be low in the past, and I would drink it for half a day, only bring it to the toilet, not drunk. Now, Feitian is at most half an hour, and it should go home to rest, otherwise I can't walk anymore. When King Han got drunk in three or three, Li Yu fell asleep on the table. An Jinhai quickly called for help and helped Li Yu to the back couch.

Li Congshan held a wine pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other, drinking while walking, but he hadn't gotten it yet. An Jinhai sent someone to take him outside the palace gate and handed it to the attendants of the Han Palace.

Sun Yu knew nothing about this and was fully preparing for the attack on the city tomorrow. Although he had nearly 17,000 combat soldiers under his command, the other party was not weak. According to the news from Gan Yue, the Chen father and son gathered about 15,000 people, and there were thousands of young and strong people to help defend the city. This battle was difficult to fight.

"Tomorrow, each regiment will be responsible for three siege cars alone. Those who follow the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." Sun Yu's command now has a total of twelve siege cars. Tomorrow, they will directly attack the city with all their strength and test it. It does not exist.

"As for order!" The four commanders looked at each other and thought about competing. One thousand taels were just a small amount. Behind this also represents the first merit in this battle. After the war, they cannot escape the rewards of merits.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~" The first ray of sunshine in the early morning shone on the city walls of Tong'an County, and the sound of the drumbeat of the Jianzhou Army seemed to be hitting the hearts of people, and they involuntarily accelerated their pace.

Chen He was having breakfast under the city gate, but he didn't dare to go back home last night. He slept here directly. He heard the sound of drums, threw down his bowls and chopsticks and ran towards the city. The soldiers followed closely.

"Get out of the way!" Chen He yelled at the top of the city, at the soldiers blocking the intersection, in a mess, like something.

The personal soldiers quickly stepped forward and separated the crowd. Chen He walked up to the city wall and couldn't help but take a breath, holding the arrowhead with both hands, and felt bad.

Twelve huge siege cars are like twelve hideous monsters,

Under the control of the Jianzhou Army, he slowly drove towards the city wall.

In front of the siege car was a total of trenchers, with no less than thirty huge trenchers, divided into three rows, and the final verification before launch was underway.

In front of the catapult position, there was a huge white crossbow with a black body. The crossbow body was dark, and even the sunlight shone on it, without any reflection. The thick arrow shaft was like the thickness of a baby's arm. When it hit a person, it might penetrate directly, leaving a blood hole.

Going further forward, all kinds of troops are in place, and the front is the big shield soldiers. Later, they will lean on the big shield in their hands to resist the opponent's attack and provide protection for their crossbowmen.

As the siege car slowly moved, the entire Jianzhou army approached the city wall.

"Shocking!"

Seeing that the range was within the range, the regiments were responsible for commanding long-range strikes and immediately ordered. Rows of large shields fell neatly on the ground, leaned back slightly, inserted the bracket behind the shield into the soil, and then retracted the whole person into the shield.

"Get a gun!"

With a command, countless sharp spears were placed on the large shield and pointed diagonally in front of them. The spearmen put the tail of the spear directly under the shield behind them, then knelt on one knee and firmly grasped the gun rod with both hands.

"The crossbowman is in place!"

Rows of crossbowmen, buzzing with their waists, shuttled between the big shields, and in just one stick of incense, they all took their place.

Chen He, who was looking at the top of the city, looked at everything in front of him, and even forgot to issue an attack, let the Jianzhou army prepare under the city.

Sun Yu stood on the platform, and the handsome flag behind him moved with the wind. Now he no longer had to continue to rush to the front line. The evil dog and his personal soldiers surrounded the platform firmly. The war had nothing to do with him. As long as Sun Yu's absolute safety was ensured, it would be a great achievement. Zhang Daqiu also put away his usual inappropriateness and led everyone in the law enforcement team to maintain order on the battlefield. If anyone dared to escape, he would kill him directly.

Now this battle is the peak of the Jianzhou Army since its establishment. All kinds of weapons and equipment, including siege equipment, were carefully built by the Craftsman Battalion. Even if the crash is done, all the components are brought from the Craftsman Battalion. In today's battle, the equipment of the Jianzhou Army is definitely the peak of the Cold Weapon Age. As for how much power it can bring, we can only wait and see.

"Let's start!" Sun Yu said to the evil dog. The evil dog had already taken off his shirt and exposed his tight tendon flesh. Since he didn't need to attack the city, he was idle and volunteered to cheer, but Sun Yu would not refuse.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~" The war drums were beating, and the siege car originally stopped a hundred steps away from the city wall, but now the drum sounds are heard, and we continue to move forward.

"Smash, trench, hurry up, smash it for me." This was the first time Chen He saw such a big guy. He had heard that the Jianzhou Army had built new siege equipment and specially installed a small trench on the top of the city. But when I saw it today, it was difficult to make it. Not to mention that this thing moves quickly and is difficult to hit. Even if it hits, the effect is not obvious. The entire car body, except for the wood as thick as a calf, is made of steel, so how can it be easily smashed?

As soon as Chen He finished speaking, dozens of stones roared out, followed by dozens of crossbow arrows, greeting the siege cars of the Jianzhou Army.

The accurate head of this catapult is basically vague. Except for one or two rubbing the edges, most of the others are missing. On the contrary, most of the crossbow arrows are shot on the siege cars. Although they cannot cause much damage, they have some effects in the end.

"Ignite!" The catapult Sun Yu prepared this time was not throwing ordinary stones, but on the stones

Outside, wrap the hemp rope soaked with tinder oil, and before firing, ignite it with a torch. After the trencher is fired, the fireball burns in the wind. Once it falls, it not only has the power of the stone, but also ignites the house.

"emission!"

With the command of the battalion commander in the rear, dozens of fireballs roared out and headed straight for the opponent's city. The defenders on the city were so scared that they dodged one after another, but fortunately they were not sure and they basically flew into the city.

"What are you looking at? Go and put out the fire." Looking at the soldier with a look of gladness, Chen He cursed angrily. It would be strange if the dozens of fireballs were smashed down. If there was a big fire in Tong'an County, it would be a big deal. He knew that Sun Yu's move was to disperse his manpower, but he had to do it. This was an open plot.

The two sides were connected with bows and arrows, greeting each other, and casualties quickly expanded. Chen He relied on the advantages of the city and was condescending, with a longer range and greater power, but his casualties were far superior to those of the other. Sun Yu arranged eight crossbow battalions of four regiments and nearly 4,000 bow and horn soldiers under the city wall, and the number of catapults and crossbows behind them was far higher than the head of the city. After dozens of rounds of arrow rain, the entire city was like a hedgehog, full of feather arrows.

The injured soldiers on both sides left the battlefield as soon as possible, and the Jianzhou Army was naturally sent to the medical battalion in the rear for treatment. As for Chen He's command in Tong'an County, whether he can survive depends on luck.

Twelve siege cars, all ladders were placed on the top of the city, and the swords and shields took the lead and rushed towards the top of the city. The defenders in the city were not showing weakness, and they greeted the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army who were rushing towards them with spears and swords. The two sides fought hard to distinguish.

Seeing that people were falling from the top of the city, most of them were soldiers from Jianzhou. Sun Yu closed his eyes and grabbed the Tianshu Sword with his left hand.

"Sir, why don't I take people up here in person?" The evil dog handed the drumstick to his subordinates, walked to Sun Yu's side, moved his arms and asked.

"No, just wait here." Now, no one can use it when you go up. This will be a time when both sides are in high morale. No matter how many you have three heads and six arms, you will be killed if you go up.

In the cold weapon war, in addition to weapons and equipment, the competition is physical strength and will. Sun Yu believes that his Jianzhou army is stronger than the opponent.

Chen He was so fierce that he was commanding the city in the rain of arrows, and even led his men to rush back, blocking the waves of offensives of the Jianzhou Army. Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba and other captains were ordered to not lead their men to attack the city themselves. They were the last straw that broke the camel's back, and now they were in vain.

"Bang" As the opponent's continuous attacks, a siege car finally broke the ladder, and all the soldiers above fell under the city wall. The soldiers of Jianzhou Army below quickly pushed the siege car and walked backwards, preparing to leave the battlefield. But the ladder was broken. There were skilled craftsmen in the baggage battalion behind, which could be repaired soon and continued to fight.

The rhythm of the entire war did not ease at all because of the withdrawal of a siege car, but became more intense. Because the defenders at the city wall suddenly discovered that as long as the ladder of the siege car was destroyed, the Jianzhou army could prevent the Jianzhou army from climbing to the city wall. How could the Jianzhou army have as they wished, the two sides broke out in a more tragic battle at the city wall.

"Old Cheng, let's go up." Chen Qiba looked at the gradually expanding casualties, felt a discomfort and wanted to go up and rush forward in person.

"Bahu, you have your own intentions, and don't act irritating." Old Cheng knew that Sun Yu specifically told them that it was not to let them rest, but to have other plans, and they just obey their orders patiently.
