Chapter 0282 The army besieged the city
"Are you Wei Qing? Go and carry Wanyan Wanting's body out, telling the owner of the house that he would go to the general's mansion to find the housekeeper to compensate for the repair costs of the damaged house. I don't like to owe anyone anything!" Zhang Yuan looked at the soldiers chasing Wanyan Wanting and found a familiar ten-man chief.
Although Zhang Yuan was not very fed by the owner of this family because of the other party's words and the wave of the knife at him, after all, he lived in your city and the house was damaged by his fight with Wanyan Wanting, so he still couldn't ignore it.
"Here!" Wei Qing didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would actually remember his name and responded excitedly in his words.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yuan nodded lightly, then looked at some soldiers who were so anxious to wear their wallets, and said, "Except for Wei Qing's team, everyone else did not wear armor to calm the chaos in the city. Anyone who dared to resist would kill him! Those who were wearing armor followed your ten husbands to the outer city to guard the city gate!"
"Here!" More than a hundred soldiers here responded in unison.
"If the order is sent, all the residents of Xihe in the outer city will be withdrawn into the inner city. Anyone who is not a small city in Xihe, the people of the Western Han Dynasty will gather close to the inner city, and all the grassland tribes will be concentrated in the military camp. If there is any commotion, you will be executed first and then report!"
"Send the order to open the arsenal, and all large city-guarding equipment will be used. All young men who have been trained in March will be distributed as the second line to stand by! All young men who have been trained in March will be used as logistics, responsible for transporting goods and wounded!"
"Send the order, the rangers return to the camp and stand by, the heavy infantry go up to the city wall to guard the southwest two zones, the heavy cavalry is responsible for guarding the northeast two zones, and immediately arrange the chefs to prepare food!"
"Send the order to the Wushuang Camp, the soldiers of the Death Ghost Camp are on standby at the north gate of the city gate, and follow me to fight to kill the enemy!"
Zhang Yuan quickly walked towards the inner city, and immediately followed his soldiers to issue orders. After receiving the order, the soldiers rushed to various places to convey Zhang Yuan's orders.
Zhang Yuan did not stop at all. When he reached the inner city gate, his personal guards had already been waiting at the city gate with his armor and weapons for a long time. Zhang Yuan walked over and let his personal guards wear armor for him. At the same time, he kept giving orders: "Send the order. Once the enemy approaches the city gate fifty meters, immediately order to shoot at the base and don't give them any opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Send the order..."
When Zhang Yuan put on his armor, almost everything he could think of had been conveyed, so he stopped walking up the stairs and headed towards the outer city from the city wall.
When Zhang Yuan came to the outer city wall, the dense grassland stringers outside the Xihe small town were surrounding the Xihe small town in the middle. It is not difficult to see from their clothes and flags that they are not a tribe, but their number is more than 20,000. It is conceivable that if the Broken Dragon Stone was not put down in the end, the Xihe small town would face a tragic scene.
"As soon as I came back, I brought so many people to welcome me. Pengpi is such a big deal!"
Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there were cold light flashing in his pupils. The tiger roaring wind gun in his hand stood upright. The flying flags on the city wall made a clamor under the morning breeze.
"After preparing for so long, did you still fail in the end?"
Pengpi rode a war horse and stood on the grass slope. Looking at the small town of Xihe not far away, he looked at the calm face and could not tell any emotion.
When they saw the torch, they rushed over immediately. Unfortunately, in order not to be discovered by Zhang Yuan and others, they did not approach the small town of Xihe. In the end, it was because they were too far away. When they arrived, Wanyan Wanting and the others had been extinguished, which made Pengpi unable to help but doubt the entire plan.
‘If they were not allowed to separate at that time, but instead attacked one side, they might not have been extinguished so easily! If we had to hide in batches, we would have rushed to the city gate when they had not closed the door yet! If we were reconnaissance carefully, we would not have...!’
There are not so many in the world. In fact, his plan is the best result. Although it divides into two teams, it also makes the soldiers who messed up the Xihe City. However, they don’t know that the Xihe City has two military camps, so the chaos did not last long.
The thoughts only stayed for a moment, and the regret lasted only a few seconds. Pengpi threw away the thought that only cowards would have in his opinion. What came back was coldness and ruthlessness. He said lightly: "Since you have failed, then give them some gifts to avoid a waste of time!"
His order was quickly conveyed, and the group of vanguard troops composed of various tribes immediately shouted and divided into dozens of strands. At the same time, the wooden machines divided into dozens of pieces were quickly assembled.
Zhang Yuan, who was above the city wall, frowned slightly, and was a little surprised: "It turned out to be a Huihui cannon? It seems that Pengpi is not just Khan now. I don't know how he took the Yuan Dynasty so trusted, so he actually gave him all Huihui cannons. This one should be considered the vanguard of the Yuan Dynasty, right?"
"Send the order to avoid the crossbow team and the catapult, and all the others enter under the city wall to hide!"
The catapult developed to the extreme and became a Huihui cannon. Zhang Yuan's city wall might not be defeated by Huihui cannon, but the city and people could not stand the power of the Huihui cannon.
"Bound archer, shoot..."
The first to launch the attack was not the Hui artillery, but the cavalry of the grassland tribe. They held the strong bow given by the Yuan Dynasty and slapped their war horses and rushed to Xihe City, trying to test the power of the new weapons in their hands, but before they could take action, Zhang Yuan took the lead in attacking.
The crossbows of the Western Han Dynasty were inherited from the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was able to unify the world, and the crossbows played an indispensable role.
The crossbows in the hands of Xihe soldiers were not created by Zhang Yuan and the others themselves, but were specially assigned by Xi Juan to Zhang Yuan. Now there are only a thousand handfuls in his hands. As for the other five hundred handfuls that Xi Juan agreed to have not been sent yet.
"Swish swish.........!!"
The crossbow arrows covering the sky and the moon suddenly shot the grassland tribe in a daze. The sound of hissings and screams sounded under the city of Xihe. Some grassland cavalry who were not in the range were frightened by the arrowheads. They wanted to retreat, but then the second wave of arrowheads came, and three consecutive waves of arrowheads covered the open space between 200 and 300 meters under the city of the southern district.
"The catapult is ready, launch..."
Zhang Yuan naturally would not wait for the opponent's return gun to show his power. After two consecutive explosions, the crossbow archers who were a little numb and tired stopped, and he immediately ordered the trenchers to be launched everywhere.
Several trenchers connected to the left and right sides of the inner and outer city walls, and some were placed next to the streets near the outer city. They were all assembled and just pushed out.
