When the Liangzhou army captured Xincheng, they seized many bronze ware from the Hu people, such as copper incense burners, copper Buddha statues, copper bells, copper cauldrons, etc., and a large number of copper coins. These things are rare treasures in Li Rui's eyes, they are antiques, but in Beigong Jing's eyes, they are just a pile of metal.

A bunch of metals that can kill people.

After repelling the first round of attacks of the Hu people, Beigong Jing judged from the fierce offensive of the Hu people that the opponent was determined to resolve the battle tonight and would never give him time to repair the city defense fortifications. So he immediately ordered the craftsmen to set fire to a fire, smash the seized copper ware into the crucible and melt it for later use. Seeing that the Hu people were covering the toad cart and poaching the walls wildly, the toad cart was very strong, and even the sharp arrow javelin could not penetrate, and the surface was poured with water, which made it wet, and the rocket could not ignite it. He immediately ordered the copper water in the crucible to be aimed at the toad cart and fell down!

The copper water with a high temperature of more than 800 degrees fell from the sky. The originally very strong toad cart became vulnerable in front of it and was instantly burned through. The copper water fell into the car. The Hu people who were poaching the walls in the car made a shrill howl, and they instantly turned into coke. The toad cart was also ignited by the copper water and burned wildly. Some Hu people came up to try to put out the fire, but one was shot overturned when they came up. They could only helplessly watch the toad carts that had been built and transported to the city turned into burning torches.

Want to poach? There is no door.

Another Hu people pushed the nest cart to a distance of only thirty or forty steps away from the city wall. The Hu archers on the nest cart were descending from a high position and pouring arrows down the city wall. It is not difficult to see from their sophisticated use of these chariots that many Jin troops who surrendered in the past were working for them, otherwise the Hu people would have such a complex, huge, and heavy machinery to use without this ability.

Beigong Jing responded calmly and directed the bed crossbow to fire a giant arrow with a barb. The giant arrow was tied with a thick hemp rope behind it. After hitting the nest car, he hooked the nest car tightly. Then the Liangzhou army on the city wall grabbed the city and pulled it hard, dragging the nest car over. The Hu archers on the nest car all became flying people in the air.

In the era of cold weapons, attacking the city has always been the most difficult task. As long as the defenders' generals are online, the city's materials reserves are sufficient, and the defenders' soldiers are also tenacious enough. In a small city with only one or two thousand people defending, it is not uncommon for tens of thousands or tens of thousands of troops to siege for dozens of days or even months. Faced with the defenders who rely on the tall and thick walls to fight to the death, there are really not many effective means to attack one side. Those excellent generals will try to avoid attacking the city, and strive to pursue the main force and courage to destroy the enemy in the field.

For example, Zhuge Liang went to Qishan several times to try his best to fight against Cao Wei. To put it bluntly, it was because the attack on the strong city guarded by Cao Wei was too injured and suffered too many casualties. Ji Han, who had only 100,000 soldiers, could not afford such a price. For example, when he sent troops to support the attack of Eastern Wu's offensive against Hefei, led troops to attack Chen Cang, and encountered Wei general Hao Zhao leading a thousand elite troops to defend him. He surrounded him for more than 20 days and attacked several times tentatively. Seeing that the Wei army was tightly defended and mobilized at the same time, he also achieved his goal of restraining the Cao Wei army, so he decisively gave up and continued to siege Chen Cang and led his troops to retreat to Shuzhong.

As for the attacks on the city for more than 20 days and night, you can beat the corpse and blood, you can say that Cao Wei farts. The simplest thing is, you must have ladders, nest cars, rushing cars and other equipment? Ji Han's army left Chencang and walked on rugged mountain roads. These large equipment were not allowed to be carried. They could only go to Chencang City and cut down trees to make them on the spot. In about 20 days, Is it enough to make so many large siege equipment? Not enough! There is not even the most basic siege equipment, so how can the soldiers attack day and night? Let them climb up by cleavage of the city walls?

The Hu people are facing now similar difficulties as when Ji Han's army attacked Chen Cang. Although the Xincheng, which had just been destroyed by war, was not as strong as Chen Cang, the Liangzhou army defending the city was as strong as the tactics, which was even more powerful than the Wei army in the battle of Chen Cang. What's so bad is that neither Hu Yanyan nor Shi Le would use every soldier under his command as cautiously as Zhuge Liang, and regard every soldier as a valuable asset of the country. In their eyes, human life is the most valuable thing. As long as it is necessary, they can use thousands of corpses to pile up a slope as high as the city wall without hesitation, and then let their troops step on this slope to climb the city wall to attack the defenders.

This makes this offensive and defensive battle particularly cruel and bloody.

Soon, a large number of fierce Hu people climbed the city wall on the long ladder, and met with the Liangzhou army on the city wall. They were killed and then rushed up one after another, endlessly. Looking around, the city was covered with sword lights like snow, sword shadows like rainbows, spears stabbed each other, and axes chopped each other. The two armies were like two beasts trapped in cages, roaring and roaring, using every weapon and every strength to bite the other's body wildly, and putting the other to death! Without kindness, no forgiveness, even a trace of turmoil in the heart because of the other party's injury or death. Both sides were roaring and waving weapons to attack the other party until the other party fell down or fell down.

This time, Beigong Jing did not participate in hand-to-hand combat anymore. He stood on the arch tower and looked down at the entire battlefield with a cold look, calmly issued orders, and devoted the troops at hand to the battlefield where they needed them the most at the most at the most. Under his command, thousands of Jin troops continued to fill in the loopholes in the broken city wall with their flesh and blood, and strangled every attacking Hu man with his weapons.

The bodies at the foot of the city wall gradually piled up higher and higher. There were Jin troops, but more were Hu people. The cold wind whistled in snow powder, and the snow powder hit the face. The rustling pain made people unable to open their eyes. The soldiers of the two armies killed their eyes red in this white snow mist, making them unable to part with them.

Li Rui was lucky. He had been hiding in the arrow tower and did not have to fight with the Hu people in close combat. However, this arrow tower was near the Xicheng Gate, and the crossbowmen could shoot dense arrow rain directly at the Hu people who were attacking the Xicheng Gate. This threatened greatly, and naturally became a thorn in the eyes of the Hu people. A considerable number of Hu people launched an attack on the arrow tower after climbing the city wall, and quickly surrounded the arrow tower tightly. There was no way, Lao Zheng could only command some people to climb to the top of the arrow tower,

He descended to the Hu people and even threw javelins, and some people kept shooting arrows at the Hu people who attacked the arrow tower through the shooting holes of the arrow tower. The Jin army was also very clear about the importance of this arrow tower, and specially divided a team of people to protect the arrow tower. During the break of tense fighting, Li Rui looked out through the shooting hole and clearly saw Cao Hu swinging axe and guns rushing around the arrow tower, like a mad tiger. I don’t know how many Hu warriors rushed up, but were chopped over with the axe gun or poked it to the heart.

Li Rui understood why this guy escaped at the battle again and again, but never had his head cut off by his boss. This guy was really too fierce, wearing two armors and rushing back and forth, and the Hu people kept firing arrows at him. He was full of arrows, and he shot like a hedgehog, but he was still extremely fierce. Who doesn't like such a fierce person? As for his like to escape at the battle, it's nothing in the eyes of the generals of the Jin army. Nowadays, isn't it the norm for the Jin army to escape at the battle? Many generals take the lead in running away. Is it really impossible to force the soldiers under his command to fight for the first place.

Li Rui was also very fierce. He kept shooting arrows at the Hu people with a big yellow crossbow, and every arrow was shot. As long as he pulled the machine, the Hu people who were aimed at him would fall down. Seeing this, Lao Zheng specially arranged for Xu Hun to come and help him turn the string. He only needed to aim and fire, saving a lot of energy. Not to mention, Xu Hun's strength was really not covered. He pulled the powerful crossbow with a pull of about 200 pounds, which was easy and pleasant. With his help, Li Rui's frequency of arrows was greatly increased, and naturally, the lethality also increased exponentially. After several rounds, the Hu people knew that there was a super archer who shot every shot. Not to mention the unlucky guys who attacked the city wall and the arrow tower head-on, even the Hu people who attacked the Ximen were like thorns on their backs, terrified, and I wonder when this guy would give him an arrow!

He didn't know how many arrows he had shot. Anyway, his shoulder blades were sore and painful that the crossbow was hit. Xu Hun, who helped him skew, also lost the relaxedness at the beginning. Every time he opened the bow, he frowned, and the blue veins on his neck were protruding. He was panting after applying the string. Obviously, the powerful guy's body of strength was about to run out.

If you give, you will gain something. As a result, the Hu people were killed and injured in his shooting world, and there were not a hundred or dozens of them shot down by him. The feeling of being killed by a cold arrow without warning was too terrifying, so that the Hu people, who never took their lives seriously, felt fear and did not dare to attack the Arrow Tower head-on.

The pressure was slightly relieved, and Li Rui could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Instead of continuing to shoot arrows, he put down the yellow crossbow, moved his arms, and said to Xu Hun, who was already sweating all over, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Hun was stunned for a moment, then showed a silly smile and said, "I just did something I should do, it's not hard."

He gave Li Rui a thumbs up: "Qu Hou is the reincarnation of Li Guang, and the arrows are shot without any slightest. As long as the Hu people you are targeting, no matter how strict they hide, they will only be dead! There are probably dozens of Hu people who die under your arrow? They are so shot that the Hu people dare not approach our Arrow Tower. It's amazing, so amazing!"

Li Rui smiled and said, "This flattery is so good that I feel comfortable!"
