Chapter 30 Offense and Defense 2
Three days later, the day shift troops arrived at Shangjun City. In the past three days, they had not been able to sleep well at night. Every night they were on guard against Fusu sending people to sneak attacks, but Fusu did not send any more people after that.
The soldiers came out as soon as possible.
The day shift suppressed his anger and rode a chariot to the city gate and shouted: "Please help Su come out and see you."
Fusu was patrolling the wall at this time. When he heard someone calling him outside, he put his head outside and said, "Who is the general? Why do you dare to sit in the car so boldly after seeing this prince?"
"The last general is in the day shift. Please listen to me, Prince Fusu, and surrender. Otherwise, my brave men from Great Qin will die on the battlefield."
"That's wrong. Hu Hai snatched my throne. I raised the army because of the emperor's order. So in my opinion, it was General Bai who led the army and surrendered to me, Fusu. When I take Xianyang, I will give you the position of general.
"
"You..." The day shift was choked by him and couldn't speak for a while. He finally said after a while, "Even if you and I are enemies, you can't be so unruly and attack us while I'm not on a stable footing. It's really not true."
It's what a gentleman does. Now that I'm here, you can go out of the city and fight with our army."
Fusu looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said contemptuously: "Soldiers are deceitful. Who told you that you must fight with dignity? I am not as strong as you, so of course I have to use extraordinary means. Now you, Chen Bing, are here
Therefore, if I leave the city, I will be defeated by you. Since I know I am going to be defeated, why should I leave the city. So you should attack quickly, and Fusu will fight with your army at the top of the city." After saying this, Fusu
Su retracted his head without waiting for the day shift's answer, and at the same time ordered: "Get your crossbows ready. If they dare to get close, shoot them with random arrows."
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city were completely accustomed to Fusu's unconventional tactics. After listening to his words, rows of crossbowmen were already standing beside the wall stacks, ready to shoot arrows downwards at any time.
Today, the day shift brought chariots and cavalry, and was excited to fight Fusu. Unexpectedly, Fusu completely ignored the rules and actually allowed himself to attack the city without even fighting. He came here today with no plans.
He wanted to attack the city, so he didn't have the tools to attack the city. Now he had to lead his troops back to open the tall city wall, but the anger in his heart became even stronger.
"Prince, if you avoid fighting, aren't you afraid that our army's morale will be low, and aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by him?" Li Wenming said strangely on the side.
Fusu watched the troops on the day shift retreat because he did not send troops, and said with a smile: "How can this lower the morale of our army? Our army is not as large as theirs. If we go out of the city and lose a battle, we will really lose morale. Now we have
If we can't hold on, they should be the ones who should be depressed. Our army has already won a battle anyway, will any soldiers think that I am cowardly? As for ridicule, as long as we defeat them, it will be fine. The one who laughs last is the last one.
Victor, so what if you tell them to laugh now." After saying this, he ordered the soldiers guarding the city to watch carefully and then went down to the city. He knew that the day shift's attack would not come until tomorrow when everything was ready.
Early the next morning, the day shift brought heavy siege equipment to attack Shangjun City. Dozens of strong soldiers carried the thick wooden logs and rushed towards the city gate of Shangjun. However, they were still within a stone's throw of the city wall.
When they hit the ground, arrows rained down from the top of the city. In just a blink of an eye, they were shot into hedgehogs, and the giant tree rolled to the ground and killed several people.
Seeing this, the people on the day shift also fired at the top of the wall with strong bows and crossbows. However, the wall had already been prepared. Planks of wood were erected at the crenellations, leaving only wrist-thick gaps to facilitate the shooters to aim downwards.
And archery. The rain of arrows below just hit the wooden board, and none of them passed through the gaps. When the wooden board was almost nailed by sharp arrows, someone would replace the wooden board and replace it with a new one. This not only made the enemy's
The arrows cannot be shot, and the arrow consumption on the city is greatly reduced.
At this time, the ladder behind the day shift was also brought up. He hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the top of the city crazily. Now the people on the wall couldn't bear the wooden planks, so they had to remove the planks. Everyone hid under the city wall, and the archer and crossbowmen temporarily
Stopped shooting below.
Seeing that the opponent was unable to fight back due to his own arrows, the day shift ordered people to rush up with ladders, followed by countless soldiers, who were ready to attack on the ladder once it reached the tower.
The ladder was successfully erected at the top of the city, and the soldiers roared and climbed up the ladder to the city wall. Seeing this scene, the day shift seemed to have seen that the city of Shangjun City had been destroyed, and a breath of bad breath was already released from their hearts.
But what happened next made him unbelievable. Jars of black and yellow stuff were poured down from the top of the city. The soldiers screamed and rolled down the ladder as soon as they came into contact with the stuff.
"What is this?" The day shift was very surprised. He knew that some people used boiling water to splash people when they were defending the city, but the color of these things was obviously not water, and it was impossible for Shangjun to have a large amount of oil. Just when he was confused, a sudden
A stench slowly drifted in, and the smell made him want to vomit.
It turned out that fires had been set up on the city wall in response to Fusu's orders, and large vats were used to boil vats of dung juice. Even with the lid on, the stuff still made people vomit, and now people had to use earthen jars to scoop it up and pour it on them.
Human beings are indeed unbearable for these soldiers. But when they saw this stuff being poured on the enemy, they screamed and fell down. Those who poured dung didn't seem to realize how stinky it was, and they poured it in jars.
vigorously.
After a stalemate of attacking and defending for several hours, the white squad army abandoned more than 5,000 corpses. Seeing that they couldn't fight for a while, they had to withdraw temporarily. When the white squad saw the soldiers who were drenched in feces, their wounds began to fester.
Only when he was injured did he realize how powerful this thing was.
One night, screams could always be heard in the entire camp. Those who were splashed but did not fall to death wished they had fallen to death simply. Their ulcers had gone from a little to a large area.
The doctor was already busy running around but still couldn't make it in time.
At this time, Fusu in the city was also busy. He was comforting the injured soldiers and arranging how to dispose of the bodies of the dead soldiers. After finishing all this, Fusu had time to find Li Heng and others.
Discuss tomorrow's affairs.
"There is not much dung juice in the city now. I'm afraid it will be gone after a few more splashes. We have to find other ways to deal with them." Fusu looked at the crowd and said.
"Today's battle has already caused the day shift to suffer a lot. He may not attack again tomorrow, so we must be mentally prepared." Zhou Xing said.
"No, I know this person in the day shift." Li Heng suddenly said, "He is reckless and impulsive. Although he fights bravely, he doesn't want to be flexible, so I am sure he will attack again tomorrow."
Li Wenming also said: "My father also made such comments about Bai Ben, saying that he was brave and foolhardy. What he was best at was fighting the enemy in decisive battles on the plains."
"Haha, no wonder he wanted to fight me as soon as he came. It turns out that he also knows his own strengths." Fusu said with a smile, "Since he will attack me tomorrow, I will prepare something else for him to see.
Bar."
Others looked at Fusu as if they were looking at a monster. Since today's "chemical weapons", they have been very impressed by Fusu's weird tactics. Now that they heard him say that there are other things, they
I unconsciously felt sad for those outside the city.
"Why are you looking at me like this? I also want to minimize the casualties of our army." Fusu said aggrievedly.
The next day, when the day shift came to the city with men and horses again, the soldiers were already frightened. But when they looked up, they found that the top of the city was completely different from yesterday. The top of the city was raised a few feet with wood.
There are also a few copper wheels installed, and I don’t know what they are used for. If a modern person saw that thing, he would definitely sneer at it. Isn’t it just a pulley device? But for the army on the day shift, this is completely unknown.
It's even scarier than yesterday's fecal juice. After all, yesterday they had used the "chemical weapons" that made life worse than death. Today, they said in their hearts that they were not afraid that the thing was a lie. But this unknown thing was even more frightening.
, people are often more afraid of things they don’t know.
The sword in the day shift's hand pointed at the city wall and said: "Charge! We must take down the upper county city today."
The soldiers rushed up with the ladder again, and the crossbowmen behind were ready to suppress the bows and arrows on it. But today, no arrows were released on the tower, and they were allowed to rush to the bottom of the city. "What happened? Did they abandon it?
Did you get to Shangjun and escape?" Bai Ban thought strangely. He knew that as long as one of his soldiers climbed to the top of the city, countless people would rush up regardless of their own safety, but the other party let him rush to the city without any defense at all.
It does not conform to the tactics of defending a city.
When the soldiers climbed to four feet away from the city head, the day shift once again seemed to see that the city had been breached. But the sound of a bang woke him up from his sweet dream. Following the sound, several people and they wanted to hit the city gate.
A piece of wood as thick as a crash log was pushed down from the city wall, and hit the heads of the first batch of soldiers who climbed up. Those soldiers fell down before they even had time to scream, and some even hit the people below.
Also hit.
"Do you want to stop us from attacking the city with just a few pieces of wood?" The day shift's flag was waved, and countless people rushed forward. But then he saw clearly that the wood slowly rose up after knocking people down.
When they reached the same height as the city wall, they hung there. "What's going on? Are there any gods helping them?" Everyone was surprised. But then someone with sharp eyes saw the problem: "General, they used ropes to hold the wood up."
The stakes were tied to the shelf, so they were hanging there, and the stakes were also filled with sharp objects."
"I asked why the soldier didn't scream when he fell. It turned out that he was killed on top." Although they knew what happened, they were helpless.
After attacking several times and killing 3,000 people, Bai Ban had to retreat again. He never expected that Fusu would have so many weird weapons for defending the city.
Seeing that they had retreated, Fusu ordered people to hoist the wooden piles up. He came up with this tool through the bamboo basket hanging downwards in the upper valley. Because the wooden piles were too heavy and the ropes could not last long, and the manpower was too much, so he
I thought of a pulley to save effort, and this time I beat the day shift beautifully.
But Fusu knew that he was only responsible for defending the city and could rely on these things, but Meng Tian was fighting an enemy three times his own. He didn't know what the situation was like over there. Only Meng Tian successfully eliminated the enemy.
