Chapter 56: Siege Battle

『PS: Please recommend votes~』

————The following text——

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

"Dongdongdongdong--"

The sound of war horns and war drums sounded in the Song army array outside Teng City, which meant that the Song army was about to launch an offensive against Teng City.

Tengcheng is surrounded by rivers on three sides, with the "Little Jing River" on the north, and the "Jing River" on the south and east. The suburbs of these three directions are not enough for Song soldiers to form a formation. At best, it is enough to send small forces to restrain Tengcheng.

The main offensive direction is the west of Tengcheng.

The "moat" that the Song army had previously filled, namely the ditches dug by manpower in the west of Tengcheng, connected to the Jinghe River and Xiaojinghe River from north to south. However, in the past month, they were secretly dug up by the Mo family disciples and the people in Tengcheng.

But unfortunately, in front of the Song army's bridge equipment, this moat did not play any role. In just a moment, Song Bing laid wooden boards on this moat, turning it into flat ground.

“Push quickly!”

“Start up!”

Under the urging of several Song generals, teams of Song soldiers pushed twenty well railing vehicles, preparing to launch the first wave of offensives.

During this period, two teams of Song County, which had about one thousand soldiers, each pushed five well railing vehicles toward the east and south of Teng City. The purpose was naturally to restrain the soldiers in Teng City and disperse their forces.

At this time, in Tengcheng City, Teng Hu and Grand Sima "fighted", and the Mohist master Qiu Liang and others looked at the actions of the Song army outside the city with a serious expression.

You should know that a month ago, the Song army almost broke through Tengcheng by just four well railing cars. Although it was because Teng Hu, Qiu Liang and others encountered this kind of well railing car for the first time and did not know how powerful this thing was, it was enough to prove the power of the well railing car.

Today, except for the five well railings heading to the two southeastern city walls, the Song army drove twenty well railings in one breath, and there were even about twenty well railings standing still in the distance. Such a large number of well railings were simply desperate.

"Can the fire-driven thing be prepared?"

Teng Hu looked at the Song army outside the city with a expressionless face and asked Sima Bi Zhan in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Teng is ready."

Bi Zhan, who was over fifty years old, replied in a deep voice.

At this time, about three well-dragon vehicles were gradually approaching the city wall. Seeing this, the Teng soldiers on the city wall immediately launched an attack. The archer took out an arrow wrapped around the oil cloth from the oil barrel in front of him. The soldiers on the side lit the oil cloth with a torch and shot it to the well-dragon vehicle outside the city with a whoosh.

"Tu tuk tuk."

In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen fire arrows were hit on the three well rail cars. After a while, the straw ropes, hemp ropes and other items on the well rail cars slowly started to burn.

There is no way, this is the result of the craftsmanship level not meeting the standards: if there were excellent craftsmen in the Song army who could use mortise and tenon structures to build the shaft railing truck according to Meng Zhong's requirements, it would save a lot of straw ropes and hemp ropes used to tie and fix them, and naturally it would reduce the chance of the shaft railing truck being ignited by enemy weapons.

Fortunately, these well railings were poured with mud and water after the construction was completed according to Meng Zhong's suggestion. Otherwise, the straw ropes and hemp ropes would be burned faster.

"Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire quickly!"

Several Song generals shouted loudly, ordering the three well railing cars to stop immediately, and then send people to board the well railing cars, pour water from the top and down with wooden barrels, and test the fire to extinguish.

"Boom--"

One of the well railing trucks collapsed, and it seemed that the hemp rope that fixed the beams and columns of the car body were burned out and fell apart in an instant, exposing the inside of the well railing truck.

The other two were barely rescued.

"Continue to shoot arrows!"

A general from Teng's country shouted loudly on the city, urging the archers on the city to continue to attack other chassis cars with fire arrows. After all, during the three chassis cars were injured, the rest of the chassis cars were still slowly approaching the city wall.

"Swoosh--"

"Swish--"

As fire-carrying arrows shot out from Tengcheng City, one after another of the well railing cars caught fire on the way to the city wall, causing the Song soldiers to extinguish the fire in a hurry.

Seeing this scene from afar in our formation, Jun Sima Jingzi stood on the chariot, clenching his fists in annoyance.

Before this could be done, seven or eight well railings caught fire, and three of them collapsed and scrapped.

In this world, Meng Zhong also stood on the chariot and watched the battle situation. He was not surprised at what he saw at this moment.

After all, in his opinion, Tengcheng was almost broken by four well railing cars a month ago because Teng's people were caught off guard. Today, Tengcheng is obviously prepared, and the well railing cars will of course be targeted.

But then again, regarding the several stranded shaft trucks, Meng Zhong believed that the main problem was the restriction of technology. If it were a mortise and tenon structure built by excellent craftsmen, it could be pushed to the city under fire, so that the strands and hemp ropes used to tie the fixed strands will cause the strands to fall apart.

"Oh, another one..."

Seeing another carriage scattered, Meng Hu shook his head with regret.

He said to Meng Zhong with some concern: "A Zhong, this is already the fourth one... Before the city has been sieged, the four well railings will be scrapped."

"Tengcheng has been prepared in advance, which is normal. Look, although the four well railings were destroyed, as a whole, did our army's well railings be pushed forward?... Look, our army's archers began to fight back." Meng Zhong said, pointing to the battlefield.

Meng Hu turned his head and saw that several well railing cars stopped on the spot. Immediately, many Song army archers boarded the roof of the well railing cars and shot arrows at Tengcheng, so that the archers on Tengcheng City could no longer destroy the well railing cars with fire arrows without any hesitation.

The rest were about six or seven well railings, and teams of Song soldiers pushed to the city with great effort.

Finally, two well railings approached the city wall with arrows. While it roared down the wooden boards hanging on the top, teams of Song Bing quickly climbed the "attachment" along the return stairs inside the well railings, and then rushed towards the wall of Tengcheng on the "suspension bridge".

"kill!"

"Stop them!"

For a moment, it seemed as if a drop of water fell into the boiling oil pan, and a shocking roar broke out in the entire battlefield.

Song Bing and Teng Bing fought desperately on the suspension bridge and on the city wall. With roars, roars, and screams, every time a blink of an eye, a Song Bing or Teng Bing died, fell on the city wall, or fell from the city to the city.

"Today, my Song Bing is very strong. Maybe I can really take down Tengcheng in one go..."

Meng Wu's serious face showed a little expectation.

"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward..."

Meng Zhong murmured.

It turned out that before the war started today, the army Sima Jingzi told the entire army that if Tengcheng could be captured today, everyone would be promoted to a higher level and rewarded with a hundred acres of land. Under such heavy rewards, the Song army would certainly be as strong as the morale.

Not to mention those Song soldiers, even the family soldiers of the Song State such as the Meng family were eager to win this battle.

"If this battle is won, then I can be promoted to "Sergeant" right?" Meng Hu asked with some joy.

According to the Zhou Li system, it can be roughly divided into three classes: "Qing", "Scholars and officials", and "Scholars". Among them, the nobles are divided into "Shangqing", "Zhongqing (Yaqing), and the scholars can be divided into "Shangqing (Changdafu), "Zhongdafu", "Second-official", and the scholars are divided into "Shangsheng", "Shangsheng", and "Laws and officials".

In the contemporary era where official titles are unified, generally, only by achieving what kind of title can one obtain what kind of authority.

For example, Meng Qi, the sect leader of the Meng family, was the title of "Zhongdafu". From then on, Sima Mengqing was a "supervisor", and the members of the other clans who were at the level of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of Meng Wu, Meng Zhi, Meng Heng, etc. As for Meng Zhong and Meng Hu, they were the lowest "corrupt officials".

Of course, even the corporal with the lowest title belongs to the category of aristocratic people and is not ordinary civilians, and infantry can be compared.

"It's also a great thing to be able to get into a sergeant."

Ten feet away, Meng Zhi couldn't help but tease the nephew when he heard Meng Hu's words.

"Uncle!"

Meng Hu couldn't help but start a fuss with his uncle, but Sima Mengqing sternly shouted: "Meng Zhi, Meng Hu, shut up!... I don't even look at where it is!"

With a loud shout, Meng Zhi and Meng Hu immediately restrained their expressions and did not dare to play anymore. Other tribesmen also corrected their minds and looked at the battlefield ahead, not daring to show joy again.

"It's so harsh..."

The young sect leader Meng Wu glanced at Meng Qing, the clan brother who was the Sima, and asked Meng Zhong in a low voice: "A Zhong, I heard that you have seen the art of war. How do you view this war?"

At this time, the army Sima Jingzhi had sent the back team, which was the only twenty remaining well railing cars, rushed up to press towards Tengcheng.

Meng Zhong was still very grateful for this: after all, at this moment, the Song army has achieved certain results. This time, the rear team was sent to press the remaining twenty bores, which can naturally further expand the results.

He thought for a while and said, "If Teng City still adopts a strategy of defending the enemy, then this city will definitely be destroyed."

Meng Wu was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have heard something and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean is that if Tengcheng adopts other strategies, or can he still defend it?"

"Um."

Meng Zhong nodded and frowned and said, "If the Teng people have the courage, they should take the initiative to attack at this time and destroy our army's subsequent twenty bolts. Otherwise, when these twenty bolts arrive at the city, Teng will never have the power to turn the world back..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the cheers of Song soldiers coming from the battlefield ahead, as if they were coming from the west gate of Tengcheng.

Because there were too many Song soldiers at the west gate, Meng Wu and Meng Zhong and others were not serious about it, Meng Wu immediately asked someone to inquire about the situation.

About a moment later, a messenger came back to report: "It was Sima Bi Zhan of Teng's Kingdom who tried to lead his army out of the city and destroy the Wangshi's chariot, but he was defeated by the Wangshi and fled back to the city. The Wangshi is now fighting with him for the city gate."

"I see."

Meng Wu suddenly realized, but Meng Zhong frowned deeply.

As far as he knew, Bi Zhan was a general of Teng Kingdom, but how stupid was this man to choose to fight out of the city gate facing the Song army?

"If Teng's people weren't stupid, then that's...

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong looked up at the west side of Teng City, and immediately said to Meng Wu: "Uncle Meng Wu, please send someone to remind Meng Qing that Teng Hu may lead people to attack our army from the north of the city..."

“Hmm?”
