Chapter 122 An epic siege battle
Chapter 122: Epic 7's siege battle is: Please vote, at the beginning of the month, please ask readers to vote for support, please
Duke Dao coughed a few times. He turned his head and did not answer Shou Meng's words. Shi Xun quickly explained: Mr. Wu, you and me may have different systems. Although Zhao Wuzi is a minister of the king, he is a lord with a fiefdom and a family of the Jin State for hundreds of generations. For such a person, our king has no right to give a gift to him. Of course, if Mr. Wu is really eager to seek talent, we can consider giving another group of people. Those people, the king is a rapacious man with the right to give a gift to him.
The king of Wu State Shou Meng said disappointed and stopped talking.
At this time, the siege battle was in full swing under Xiageyang City.
The attack on Luyang was proposed by Fan Tian and Zhongxing clan. The main force of the siege was also the responsibility of these two families. During the battle, Fan Xun also made his fortune. The three major warriors in his family took action together, braved the airtight rain of arrows and hit the city gates hard. Under their courage, the rumbling impact was continuous, coupled with the sound of bows and arrows, the dying shouts of soldiers, the severely injured struggle, the shouts of shouts, and the collision of weapons formed a noisy symphony.
This siege battle was also the earliest siege battle recorded in history in China. Because in this battle, the father of Confucius was involved, and the father of Emperor Qin, the 72 disciples of Confucius, Qin Buzi.
The people of Lu had to fight desperately. The people of Jin were so eager to suppress the southern countries because they wanted to take back and help Lu and help them deal with the oppression of Qi. So the people of Lu went crazy and they took out all the power they had under the box.
If there was no Zhao Wu in history, then after this alliance, the Jin people also planned to conquer Qing Wori to reward Song because of the contribution of the State of Song.
Now that Zhao Wu is present, the people of Jin not only make fun of the Song Dynasty, but also have greatly rewarded the two countries because of the surrender and obedience of Chen and Zheng State.
In addition, there is Xu Guo. Xu Guo, who seems to be suffering from a loss, now has a stable living environment and no longer has to worry about it day and night.
After repeated rewards, it became a consensus among the princes of various countries to have meat. Therefore, facing the powerful oppression of Qi, the people of Lu could not deal with it alone. They could only rely on the boss to support them and they could not help but fight to the death.
In addition to the Jin army, the first coalition troops arrived were also from Lu. The Lu army ran all the way and rushed to the North Gate of Changyang. At this time, the North Gate was responsible for attacking the Fan family, Chi Xian and Fan family, with four major generals: Lin Hu and Pei Bao guarded Hei Chizan. But these four generals were not soldiers and slaves. They were of the kind of flesh shield and shield. Among them, Lin Hu had given them to Zhao Wu, so there were only three major generals left in the Fan family.
Chizhan is also an alien. It is hard to tell which ethnic group he comes from. Because Chi Kuang’s head is a little red and looks ugly than Linhu, he named it after a wild beast.
Speaking of which, Chi Xian really wanted to break through this city gate. At that time, the four major generals of the Fan family were tied together. Although Lin Hu was strong and powerful, he became the four generals. However, when Lin Hu was given to Zhao Wu, the other three generals laughed at Lin Hu for being bad for being lucky. At that time, the Zhao family was a well-known poor nobleman in the middle of the country and did not even have a small position as a noble. In comparison, the Shi family at that time had a great career and a prosperous branch. He continued to follow the Shi family, which was obviously much greater than Lin Hu following Zhao Wu.
However, what made the other three people so depressed that they vomited blood was that the Zhao family abolished slavery first. Lin Hu, as a gift from Fan, became the first beneficiary. When he arrived at the Zhao family, Lin Hu turned into a free citizen and immediately became a chariot again, as if he had become a nobleman. Then Lin Hu showed off his power and drove many servants across the streets of the capital in a chariot. When he saw the remaining three generals of the Fan family, he was disdainful to say hello.
As a nobleman, of course, you cannot say hello to the slaves at will, let alone treat them as friends.
In fact, the current slavery in Jin State has begun to loosen. When the major nobles saw the role of the renting system to promote labor enthusiasm, they gradually began to quietly promote the renting system under their own throne. The three generals of the Fan family had long hoped that they could get rid of their slave status, but the cannon fodder was different from the farmer. Even Zhao family only implemented the abolition policy to the farmer class, and did not touch the slave soldiers and soldiers owned by the warriors. Therefore, although Chi Xian was one of the big generals of the Fan family, he was still a slave status like the other two, and was just a slave soldier who was highly valued.
This time, Fan Ri had already made a ruthless attack on Gancao a few days ago. He announced that those who entered the city first would be rewarded with great rewards, and those who were rewarded were allowed to make a request. Fan said that he would respond to any request.
After hearing this, the other three will exchange understanding glances with each other. The request they can think of is nothing more than: return the identity certificate of Danshu slaves, so that they can become free people from now on.
Because of this thought, Chi Jing worked very hard, but sometimes many things cannot be achieved by personal hard work. Chi Bai is now standing in the gate of Aiyang City, trying hard to figure out how to break the city. But no matter how hard he tried, he seemed to be unable to think of a trick.
Looking out from the city gate, along the attack route of the Jin army, to the place where Chi Jing was standing, the corpses that were inverted and crooked paved a path to death. They silently explained the degree of Chi Zhu's efforts.
The reinforcements of Lu State were led by the famous minister Meng Xianzi. On his left were the father of Liang Tongkong, a vicious servant of the Lu State, and the warrior Qiu Kumi. The Lu army stood at the city, outside the range of the archery of the Zhuangyang army, Meng Xianzi stepped forward and looked at the Zhuangyang city wall carefully, thinking about something.
When Chi Xian saw the reinforcements coming, he was excited. He turned over and rushed out of the city gate and returned to the Jin army front. He went over to Meng Xianzishi: The bitch is a general of the Fan family, and our Fan soldiers have attacked four times. It has not been a problem yet. The nobleman's soldiers have arrived. Can they join hands with us to attack again?
When Meng Xianzi heard the other party’s claim, he knew that the other party was a slave. He frowned and waved his hand like a fly. Lu State is a country that pays attention to etiquette. His identity prevented him from talking directly with the slaves. So, the father of the Fengshi Tiaoyi doctor Liang Qikong, answered on his behalf: No problem, we came here just to fight, but I am a little bit of a temple monster, how can the Fan family warriors regard slaves as their generals.
Chi Bai was speechless and retreated silently.
After a moment of stopping, the coalition forces of Jin and Lu organized troops to attack again.
This time, because the leaders of the Lu team were all nobles, the commander of the coalition was replaced by the Lu people.
Meng Xianzi was not a nobleman for nothing. He had fought many years behind the Jin people. He had learned some military skills. He pointed at the sides of the city gate with a spear on the chariot and ordered: concentrate all the crossbow bows in the army and distribute them to the good shooters, collect all the crossbow arrows to supply crossbow arrows, and then use shield pong as a complete cover for crossbow soldiers to force the tooth wall, and then use crossbow soldiers on the wall of crossbows and the elite infantry soldiers to assault the city gate.
After hearing Meng Xianzi's words, Chi Xian had only admired him. He obediently arranged troops according to Meng Xianzi's assignment and attacked the Jin army one by one.
With that unique arrogance of the overlord country, the Jin army's shield soldiers slowly advanced forward according to the rhythm of the drum. The rhythm of their advancement was four beats. When the first snare drum sounded, the shield soldiers shouted vigorously and raised the shield that was more than one person high on the ground. When the second drum sounded, they took a step, and then put their feet together. At the same time as the fourth drum sounded, they put the shield back on the ground.
It takes four beats to complete all these actions. The rigid Jin army advances slowly according to the rhythm of the snare drum, which has always been the paranoid pursuit of the Jin people.
The moving shield line was like a shield wall, slowly and stubbornly advancing forward. On the chariot that followed behind, Meng Xianzi praised Liang Qi, the warrior beside him: The quality of the Jin people, our country of Lu will never catch up with them. Look at them. When the drum sounded, the army was neat and the orders were strict, our country of Lu would be strict. When will the people have this quality?
Liang Qi replied: The overlord's two hundred years of influence and education cannot be caught up in one or two days. The Jin people have fought for more than two hundred years. Every living Jin people are descendants of soldiers. Their blood is like bronze blood flowing in their blood. It has become a part of their culture. Every Jin people grew up soaked in bronze blood since childhood. They are born to be disciplined and born to fight and are naturally bloodthirsty.
Our Lu State is a country of etiquette. We know Xinnu knows advance and retreat. It is our national culture. Our Lu State's culture is etiquette. Oh, if we abandon the etiquette of Lu State, if we want to imitate this kind of copper-enriched blood, then will our Lu State still Lu State be Lu State?
Meng Xianzi laughed: It's okay, we have our pride. Keeping our true nature is what we and other ministers should consider.
Meng Xianzi said it was very passionate, but he forgot. While passing by, he was always oppressed by Qi. Maintaining his current national characteristics also means that Lu must maintain the current cultural tradition of being bullied and tormented by others forever and be a younger brother.
At this moment, the sound of the snare drum in Jin State changed. As the sound of the snare drum changed, the first wave of crossbow arrows was shot behind the shield wall of Jin army, but this wave of crossbow arrows failed to shoot on the city wall, and the arrow shaft was inserted far away on the ground far away from the wall.
Meng Xianzi sighed: Sure enough, Fresh is the best unit in Jin State. I remember that when Han attacked Zheng State, the test shot of crossbow arrows was just a single test shot to save the consumption of crossbow arrows. Fan did not know this experience. Now the test shot of Fan's archers actually shot out all the arrows in the hands of the crossbow soldiers. This is too wasteful.
After all, Meng Xianzi didn't understand military affairs. He saw the differences between Fan's crossbowmen and Han's crossbowmen, but he didn't know the reasons for the differences. In battles, the army's command relies entirely on the changes of the snare drums. Han's can refine the rhythm of the drum to the command of Dan Chexing for test firing, and also command a small number of soldiers to test firing. However, Fan's did not refine it to this extent. Their drum sounds are simple, and they can only issue test firing orders, and they cannot tell the soldiers the specific test firing method.
As soon as Meng Xianzi finished speaking, the sound of the drums of the Jin army turned into another second and shot out the crossbow arrows. The row of crossbow arrows barely pierced the Zombie City Wall.
Immediately, the sound of the drums of the Jin army became delicate. The shield wall stopped, and the rear row gradually caught up, superimposed with the front row shield wall, and rows of shields were stacked up layer by layer, forming a turtle array similar to the turtle shell.
When entering the range of the defender, Liang Qi reminded: Fortunately, our crossbow arrows have a long range and are shooting from the city, which is exactly the same as the condescending range of the defender. Therefore, when we enter the range of the defender, the defender also enters our range.
The counterattack of Changyang City also began. They were condescending and continuously shooting arrows downwards. Under the rain of arrows from the Zombie Yang Guardian, the Jin army calmly changed the formation according to the rhythm of the drum sound, and the overall shield wall formation was transformed into two shield wall formations.
A loud drum sounded. The Jin army's shield wall suddenly retreated, revealing crossbow soldiers lined up in dense formations. The crossbow soldiers shouted, and then the shouts were rhythmically one after another. Every time they shouted, a soldier shot out the crossbow arrows in his hand.
There were waves of shouting on the ground, and waves of crossbow arrows flying in the sky. The two sides were shooting towards each other.
It was time for us to go Meng Xianzi waved his sword. Suddenly, the Lu army's chariot rushed out of the gap exposed by the Jin army. They bumped over the corpses formed on the ground and rushed towards them quickly.
It was successful. Under the suppression of the Jin army's crossbows, the Zombie Yang people did not counterattack against the Lu army at all. The Lu army rushed to the city and stopped for a while, and the Changyang city gate was broken by the Lu army.
Chi Xian looked excited, he didn't care about continuing to command. He immediately urged his left and right to rush into the zombie sun.
If outside the city is the world of Jin army and it is still sunny, the city of Chuyang is the place
Chi Bai rushed into the city and the Zombie Yang people did not concentrate on dealing with the troops outside the city. They devoted their main energy to dealing with the soldiers entering the city because Zombie Yang City had a urn city.
The Lu team that invaded Changyang City was crowded in the narrow area of the city, bearing the stone wastewater arrows falling like raindrops above their heads, and screamed in a panic. In a hurry, the warrior Qiu Jianya unloaded a huge wheel, covered it with armor, forming a large shield, holding the shield with his left hand and fighting the halberd with his right hand, and insisting on command of a team of soldiers to continue shooting against the enemies on the city wall.
At this moment, a creaking sound came from the city gate, and a gate slowly descended. The Zombie Yang man put down the Qianjin Gate at the city gate. He held the big shield in his hand and rushed to Qiu Jumi, the warrior of Lu Guo. He pointed at the city gate with one hand to remind him. At the same time, he shouted: Retreat. Retreat, if you don’t retreat, we will not see the moon tonight.
Liang Zao also rushed over and shouted loudly: Things are no longer saved and things are invincible. Please withdraw quickly.
The subordinates of Qiu Jimi, the warrior of Lu, were the only unit of the Lu army. At this time, the other troops of the Lu people had been disbanded. Qiu Jimi was waving the shield made of wheels and commanding the command to resist. He glanced at the left and right and immediately agreed: The Qianjin Gate beam is around, you take care of Qianjin Gate, I will break the rear.
The red pole was about to compete for the position after the break. Unfortunately, an arrow shot down from the city and hit the red spirit.
Chi Xian turned over and fell to the ground.
Liang Qi didn't care about being humble anymore. He dragged Chixian with one hand and waved the big red-stalk shield with the other, and rushed towards the city gate.
The Qianjin Gate had already been lowered by half. In desperation, the father of the Saint Liang Qikong supported the Qianjin Gate with the shield in his hand, but Zhongyi was on his head and the door was really heavy to fuck him. The shield was squeaking. Liang Tong was anxious and pulled himself out of the Qianjin Gate first, kicked Chixian out of the Qianjin Gate, and then dragged both hands and lifted the Qianjin Gate hard.
He actually raised the thousand-pound gate.
Confucius' father held up the thousand-jin gate and allowed the remnants of Jin and Lu troops to escape from the city.
A month later, Zhao Wu, who was far away in Wei, received information when he inspected the defense situation in Wei, and he felt that the record looked very familiar.
Isn’t this a lot of plots? Why did the people of Lu record this siege in real history and record it in the Spring and Autumn Period.
You should know that as a historical record, the Spring and Autumn Period is the most rigorous in Chinese history. Such a cautious historical book actually recorded a similar scene.
Zhao Wu thought about it and secretly praised: Maybe later, the description of Confucius' father was copied. Actually, I know that on the calendar, there was only one person who actually held the thousand-jin gate, and there was no other. Of course, only in the Spring and Autumn Period, people could still hold the thousand-jin gate, because the thousand-jin gate was simple at this time, and in fact, it was not as heavy as a thousand-jin gate.
After calming down a little, Zhao Wu thought secretly: This historical record also shows at least two problems: First, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the small southern country already had a urn city structure, and there was a thousand jin at the gate of the city. In addition, this brave man Qiu Shuiya was also interesting, and he actually removed the wheels as a shield.
Fortunately, in this era, wheels and axles are not connected, otherwise, that would be a joke.
After a moment, Zhao Wu turned his eyes to the follow-up text: The Lu people said this, Meng Xianzi was outside the city at that time. When he saw the father of the saint, Liang Qikong, holding a thousand pounds in his hand, he sighed and said: The so-called powerful as a tiger in the poem is such a person.
After the siege, the unwilling people of Lu attacked several times. The people of Changyang were quite confident and teased their opponents again. They actually hung a cloth from the city and shouted on the city: Climb up.
When the Zombie Man was shouting, the Meng family's retainer, Qin Dongfu, happened to transport the heavy chariot that the chariot was riding in by the chariot and the nobles to the Changyang. Hearing the Zombie Man's shouting, he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the cloth and went up to the scene similar to a surprise drama:
The first time, when Qin Dong's father was about to climb to the squat, the Zombie Man suddenly cut off the cloth; Qin Dong's father fell heavily from the city and fainted. The Zombie Man was proud of the city and hung the cloth down again.
The second time, Qin Dong's father woke up and climbed again. He was about to climb to the entrance of the city wall. The people of Guoyang let go of the cloth on the top of the city. Qin Liang's father pulled the cloth several feet long and floated off the city and fell down again.
This was repeated three times, and the defenders were moved by the courage to persevere in repeated defeats and fight. The cloth was no longer hanging from the top of the city of Zonyang. A general of Zonyang lay on the top of the city and shouted to Qin Lingfu under the city, saying sincerely: Please, your courage makes us admire you, we are convinced, don't crawl anymore.
After Qin Ling's father climbed the wall three times and fell three times and seized three pieces of cloth one by one, he wrapped the seized cloth around his body and wandered around the military camp. He showed his merits to others. He said to everyone: Did you see it? This is a symbol of my courage. The people in Changyang are afraid of my courage. Whoever you are brave enough here is almost overflowing, and you can sell him some courage Yu Yongkejia.
Zhao Wu sighed: It is obvious that these worlds have me, which is different from before. Why do they still lack the means of climbing? They have to let the defenders put down their cloth before climbing the walls and ladders. I have clearly ladders.
Zhao Wu thought he had changed something. In fact, he did not change the general direction of history.
The concepts of territorial fields formed by feudal consciousness were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Spring and Autumn Period. The things of Zhao's Ming belonged to the Zhao family, which belonged to the concept of lordship. A family with a deep malicious intention towards the Zhao family may steal this technology. But the more the family has a good relationship with the Zhao family, the more they are, and they dare not easily touch the things that belonged to the Zhao family. In the real history, Zhao, Han and Wei were wearing pairs of pants, but in the end, Fresh brought his crossbow and arrow technology, Zhao's cavalry technology, Wei's armor technology, each of them to the Warring States Period.
In the long-term cooperation, the three companies did not have the opportunity to spy on each other's technical strengths, but they each adhered to their own fields and would never dare to cross the line. This is the case even when both sides were in conflict.
This is feudal consciousness.
When Zhao Wu expressed his feelings, the siege under Zhuangyang City had lasted for a month. It was now early May. Seeing that the heavy rainy season was approaching, Xun Yanshi, who had come to fight, came to Xun Pan in shame and asked to withdraw his troops, begging: The rainy season is coming, and if we drag it down, our army will probably find it difficult to withdraw safely. Well, please order the troops to go.
Xun Ying was furious. He picked up a few cases and threw them over, and several cases flew past the two of them. He then scolded: Didn’t you say you wanted to take down the Zombie Yang Feng and Xiang Xu? Then do these two things well, and then tell me that I didn’t plan to come, but you insisted on fighting, and I agreed to you for the sake of the unity of the team.
Now I have worked hard and troubled the princes. The king of Wu has been waiting for your success for a month. I have been implicated by you in a place, you cannot make contributions, and I want to harm me. At that time, you will definitely say again: It was me, Xun Ying, who ordered the withdrawal of troops, otherwise the city will be captured. I am old, can I still bear such a sin again? It means that I was captured by Chu when I was young, so I am guilty again.
I will give you another seven days. You will not be able to take down the slaughter sun in seven days. I will take down your head first
The marshal Xun Yi, who has always spoken gently and elegantly, was furious and honest. He rarely had a temper, but once he was angry, he was quite scared to know that Xun Yan and Shi Xun touched their necks and retreated in shame.
After leaving the marshal's tent, Fan Zi, who had always been smart, suddenly became smart. His eyes lit up and he shouted: I thought of the ladder. When Zhao Wu was married, I went to congratulate him. I saw two strange tools in Zhaocheng, one called the ladder by Zhao Wu, and the other called scaffolding. These two are things that can be climbed up high. Why didn't I think of it before?
Xun Yan also slowly remembered: That's right, I saw that thing in Zhaocheng. I heard that fruit farmers also took something called a herringbone ladder. They climbed up to pick fruits. Since the herringbone ladder can pick fruits on it, they can shoot arrows.
That's right, Fan Zi stamped his feet in annoyance: I often hear people say that Zhao Wuzi was relaxed and at ease in breaking the city. He never thought that he would break the city easily after careful investigation. However, it's not too late now. Isn't Wei Yi by the monarch? Let's go and inquire, and you'll know.
