Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth siege behemoth

At night, the horses were blocked outside the wall in Fancheng, and the troops were mobilized.

Zhang Xutuo took Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin with two left arms and right arms, leading troops to guard the craftsmen to approach Fancheng.

In addition to craftsmen, there were also a large number of soldiers and township warriors who carried stones and giant trees and forcibly built a temporary wooden fence and earthen trunk on the horse-blocking wall in Fancheng to protect the special siege beast brought by Gongshu and his disciples - Huihui Cannon.

The Hui Hui cannon has been improved by the domineering mechanism of the public send team, and it is larger in size and can shoot stones with a larger weight. Its power is not necessarily much worse than that of the early bronze cannons.

Facing the defense line of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu and Xiangfan, the strong attack was more than a month and suffered heavy casualties, but they never made any progress, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could only rely on the siege monsters brought by the Public Sous.

"In order to prevent Hui Hui cannons from being destroyed by Fancheng's defenders from leaving the city, fences and earthen barriers to protect Hui Hui cannons must be set up."

"All fences and earthen trunks must be completed before night and dawn."

"The Huihui cannon must be assembled before dawn."

The Gongshu squad ordered craftsmen to build a position for Huihui cannons to play their role overnight for siege.

His domineering mechanism is best at siegeing cities and destroying all impure fortresses. For the Gongshu clan, it is a spiritual enjoyment.

Zhang Xutuo looked serious and said to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin: "With Tan Daoji's wisdom, he will definitely notice the movement outside the wall of the horse and then send troops to attack. Therefore, no matter what, he must protect these craftsmen and make them complete before dawn."

"Abide by the order!"

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin took up their twelve points of spirit and led elite soldiers such as the Xuanjia Army and Bafeng Camp to patrol the Huihuan position.

Because the Hui cannon is powerful and focuses on breaking the city, the range is not very far. The craftsmen of the Gongshu squad built Hui cannon positions almost under the noses of the Fancheng defenders.

In addition to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, there are also three generals from the Sui Dynasty, including Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu and He Ruobi, who led troops to protect Hui Hui cannons.

Hui Hui cannons have become a secret weapon to capture Fancheng. The Sui army will do everything and protect this siege weapon.

As expected, as Zhang Xutuo inferred, the Fancheng defenders noticed the movement outside the horse-blocking wall and thought that the Xia army planned to launch a surprise attack at night, so the arrow tower, bed crossbow, and archers fired thousands of arrows at the same time!

Many catapults were also deployed in Fancheng City, and these catapults were also used by the defenders to attack the siege.

For a moment, the arrows and stones in the city poured over the heads of the Sui Army and a group of craftsmen!

"Hand up the shield!"

Zhang Xutuo shouted loudly, and the soldiers of Bafeng Camp held a giant shield as high as the man, temporarily forming a simple city wall to minimize the damage to the Hui artillery position by the Fancheng defenders.

The Fancheng defenders had sufficient arches and crossbows, and the arrows and flying stones continued. Even the Sui army, which had been through many battles, still suffered heavy losses.

Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong quickly waved the spear in his hand, and opened the arrow rain that hit him, flying stones!

"Shoot the arrow, fight back!"

Han Qinhu and He Ruobi were not a good man and a trustworthy woman. After their troops were attacked by the Fancheng defenders, they immediately shouted and ordered the archers and crossbowmen to fight back strongly.

The Xia army siege and the Song army guarding the city began to shoot in the darkness. The sound of rain of arrows breaking through the air broke the silence of the night, and ruthlessly reaped the lives of the soldiers on both sides in the darkness!

"quick!"

The Gongshu Pan knew that Zhang Xutuo's Sui Army was risking heavy casualties to buy time for his own group of craftsmen, so he urged his disciples and the craftsmen under his command to speed up the progress.

"It's not right. Judging from the movements of the enemy, they don't seem to plan to attack the city at night."

The defender of Fancheng, Tan Daoji, was proficient in thirty-six strategies and was familiar with all kinds of strategies. He keenly realized that the Xia army outside the city only used arrow rain to counterattack, but did not send people to the city.

Except for the movement and stillness of the walls in Fancheng, the rest of the directions are silent except for the horse-blocking wall in front.

"Did they take advantage of the night to put the catapult here?!"

The defender of Fancheng appointed by Liu Yu was indeed keen enough to immediately detect Zhang Xutuo's intentions.

Tan Daoji's speculation is almost the same. Xia Jun really wanted to build a catapult position outside the horse-blocking wall in Fancheng!

The only thing Tan Daoji didn't guess was that this time the Xia army replaced the more powerful improved Hui cannon.

Even ordinary trenchers, if they are placed at a distance from the city, the threat to the city walls should not be underestimated.

"Gao Aocao, Wen Pin, Huang Zu, Ding Qi, Zhu Chaoshi and others followed this general out of the city to destroy the other party's catapult, otherwise Fancheng would be in danger!"

Tan Daoji realized that the danger might come the next day, so he let go and led the death warriors out of the city to attack the scattered troop position he was building at night, trying to destroy all the scattered troops of the Xia army in one fell swoop!

However, Zhang Xutuo was prepared for a long time, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui, commanded the 200,000 Sui army and fought against Tan Daoji who had left the city!

Xuanjia Army is a ninth-level army, and it is enough to destroy Tan Daoji's Northern Army!

Qin Qiong took the lead, looked down on the people, and a long spear was like a dragon, which drew the Northern Mansion Army along the way, tearing the opponent's square formation apart!

"Look at my Luo family's shooting skills!"

Luo Shixin used a long spear to use his family-born marksmanship and was superb. The spear stabbed as fast as lightning, stabbing hundreds of people to death!

Shi Wansui's courage is no less than Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, and he is also in the enemy's formation, as if he is entering a state of no one!

"He Ruobi, let's compete again this time! Let's see who has won more military achievements! Do you dare!"

"What's the point!"

Han Qinhu and He Ruobi are still incompatible and compete for each other for merit.

"All the soldiers, whether Fancheng can hold on, fight here and live to death!"

Tan Daoji roared and fought bloody battles with generals such as Gao Aocao, Wenpin, Ding Qi, etc., and wanted to defeat the 200,000 Sui army and destroy the catapult, so he felt at ease!

No matter who is the guard, he doesn't want to see the siege party almost put the catapult on his face!

However, the 200,000 Sui Legion was not an easy enemy to deal with. Tan Daoji still could not defeat Zhang Xutuo from late night to dawn.

In desperation, Tan Daoji was worried that after dawn, the siege party would gather troops to annihilate the Song army that had left the city, so he had to lead the Song army back to the city.

Tan Daoji dragged his tired body to the city wall and saw the scene he was worried about - outside the horse-blocking wall in Fancheng, there were hundreds of siege beasts with a height of more than fifteen meters, and there were towering wooden walls and earthen barriers in front of these siege beasts.

"Is this a trench?"

The defenders of Fancheng, including Tan Daoji, could not help despair when they saw the giant siege beasts with a large number of gears rotating.
