Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 236
Although Gongsun Zan saw the clues, the problem now is that when his order was conveyed to Zhang GUI, the first level had basically been broken through.

First of all, there was the huge stone trebuchet. The stones thrown almost turned the surrounding mountains into rocks. Any soldier hit by the stones would be killed or injured. Even if they could not be hit, they would definitely cause damage. A powerful psychological shock, no matter how much the guard Zhang GUI urged, the soldiers above would not show their heads.

And at the same time as these stones roared, Qu Yi's siege soldiers pushed the two strange machines that could fill up the ditch, built a pontoon bridge on the ditch, and then launched an attack along the pontoon bridge towards the bottom of the earth mountain. .

These two instruments are called trench bridges and trench-filling vehicles respectively. The trench bridge has a relatively early history and has been introduced in "Six Tao". However, Huang Yueying made the Dacheng version of the trench bridge, which was produced in the Song Dynasty. The technology of the bridge deck has four wheels, two large and two small. The two large wheels act as bridge piers, and the two small wheels at the front end play a fixed role. This kind of equipment is relatively large and has a relatively large load capacity. There is no problem in passing large siege engines.

The trench-filling vehicle is relatively small and can generally only ensure the passage of infantry. However, it is relatively safe when attacking a city because there is a shield in front of the trench-filling vehicle, which can block the arrows fired by the defending troops to reduce the risk of fire. Casualties of the siege troops.

However, due to the protection of the catapults, the defenders did not dare to show their heads in order to save their lives. Therefore, the shield in front of the trench-filling vehicle did not work. This allowed the siege soldiers to easily build the bridge deck and then easily Passing the first ravine, they launched an attack towards the mountain behind the ravine.

At this time, in order to avoid accidental injuries, the catapults could no longer function, so the soldiers guarding the camp showed up again, and launched a counterattack against the attacking soldiers with bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones and stones.

However, what they didn't expect was that the soldiers who attacked the city were so brave that any soldier could move a hundred catties of boulders and push away the rolling logs. The defending soldiers who showed up shot and killed, so the soldiers guarding the earth mountain suffered a lot of damage, but the damage caused by the defense equipment was extremely small, so this caused the soldiers in the camp on the earth mountain to gradually There was a strong sense of panic in the ground, and the combat power was weakened more and more.

At the same time, under the pressure of their own archers, the siege soldiers braved arrows and stones to climb the earth mountain. Soon, the first batch of hundreds of soldiers came to the top of the earth mountain and started a close battle with the enemy above. fight.

The combat power of these soldiers is not weak, and now they have received the bonus of the two skills of "First Climb" and "Destroy the City" at the same time. The combat power has been increased to a very terrifying level. Even an ordinary soldier can fight The commander of the camp, Zhang GUI, quickly killed a large number of defenders and established a firm foothold on the top of the mountain. At the same time, he effectively protected those who came after him.

"This, this damn Qu Yi, his Xiandeng camp already had few enemies, but now it seems that it has improved a lot than before. How can I resist such a perverted combat power?"

Zhang GUI was originally a low-level officer of Baima Yicong, but because Baima Yicong later lost a lot of elites, he was promoted to a general by Gongsun Zan, who was not very conspicuous, and was responsible for guarding the first ravine, and Baima Yicong After many years of fighting, the one he feared the most was Qu Yi's Xian Deng camp. During the last Jieqiao battle, he almost died in the hands of Xian Deng camp. Now that he saw the opponent again, his first reaction was not to seek revenge, but to This kind of fear originated from the bones, especially when seeing that the soldiers who entered the camp first were so powerful that it was disappointing, this fear became even more obvious.

"General, the bandits have already attacked, what should we do now?" A soldier under Zhang Gui saw that the situation was out of control and hurriedly came to him and asked eagerly.

"What should I do? How do I know what to do?" Zhang GUI secretly smiled wryly, but there is nothing he can do now. With his current situation and Gongsun Zan's deployment, he has no hope of escaping, or surrendering, or dying in battle, and if If he chooses to surrender, his family members who are pledged in the city will be killed by Gongsun Zan or turned into slaves. Therefore, there is actually only one way before him, and that is to grit his teeth and fight to the death!

"Kill! I would rather die than surrender!" Zhang GUI knew that Gongsun Zan must be watching him at this time. Once he showed signs of defecting, he would kill his family members promptly and decisively to scare those who came after him. Therefore, even if For the sake of his family, he must fight desperately.

However, the situation at this time is no longer up to him to decide, because there are still many family members of soldiers who are not in the city. They are all civilians who were forcibly conscripted by Gongsun Zan. Weapons surrendered to the besiegers.

And those who insisted on not surrendering accounted for only a small half of them. They didn't have as many soldiers under Qu Yi's command, not to mention the combat power of the soldiers who went to the battalion first. The battalion soldiers were killed, and even the battalion leader Zhang Gui was beheaded by Qu Yi.

It took Liu He less than half an hour from coming to the foot of the earth mountain to finally breaking through the camp on the outermost earth mountain!

"Hateful! This damn Qu Yi, why do I always meet him no matter where I go? This is the grudge between me, Mr. Liu Yu, and Liu He, the little thief. What does it have to do with you? You are Yuan Shao's general. But why do you want to get involved?"

Gongsun Zan, who saw this scene from a distance on the watchtower, couldn't help but became furious. At the same time, he put all the responsibility on Qu Yi, thinking that if it weren't for Qu Yi, he would definitely not lose.

However, Gongsun Zan was still a little reconciled. He believed that the reason why the first layer of earth mountain was breached so quickly was mainly due to Liu He's surprise and his own lack of defense. He just needed to be careful and find a way to destroy the catapult and those two strange things. Things that fill up the ravines can make Liu He feel helpless.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan immediately ordered Cheng Kai, the defender of the second largest battalion, to be cautious and guard the camp, and asked him to find a way to destroy Liu He's siege equipment.

However, what is unimaginable is that when Cheng Kai was ordered to destroy the siege equipment of Liu He's army, he was hit in the head by a stone from a catapult, and his brains burst and died on the spot. After the collapse, the army had no fighting spirit, and they appeared in the camp one after another and surrendered to Liu He.

"Ahhhh...Damn Cheng Kai, you are an idiot who dies as soon as you die, but you have caused me to lose a camp. It is really unbearable!" Lost, Gongsun Zan was so angry that his face turned green, and he roared loudly: "Send me an order to let Yang Hua, the guard of the third battalion, guard the camp and destroy his siege equipment. Designate him as the governor of Youzhou!"
