Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!

The trebuchet seems to have a spirituality, throwing deadly stones with a louder sound.

Several catapults were attacking different parts of the city wall. It wasn't that Jiang Zhe wanted to spread more flowers and attack the city wall from multiple places at the same time, but because...the catapults were inaccurate.

Although this thing flies farther than a human-powered trebuchet, we can only estimate how it flies in an arc, but the problem is not big. As long as the quantity is enough, the most common rammed earth in this era is not even covered with bricks. The city wall is no problem.

"Get ready, let go!"

Another stone bullet was fired, and the pawns lost the freshness they had before, and Ergou had already stood there for two hours.

Occasionally a breeze would blow by, making him drowsy.

In stark contrast to this, the defenders of the city wall are already in a hurry. If the trebuchet throws ordinary stone bombs, it will be fine, but occasionally it will give you a big gift bag of burning, or it will be dedicated to smashing the city's houses, which is enough to force a part of the troops to be allocated. Go to the fire.

"Is there no way to destroy those strange and obscene things?"

Yuan Xi in the county mansion scratched his head and scratched his head like an ant on a hot pot, as if the city wall would be breached in the next second.

"Young master, the general is willing to lead elite cavalry to raid the enemy army outside the city and completely destroy that strange thing."

Xiaowei Zhang's volunteering was quickly interrupted, and the counselors on the side kept reminding that the giant was placed out of reach of bows and crossbows, and was guarded by heavy soldiers, so if he attacked rashly, he might hit a stone with an egg.

"Don't you just sit and wait for death, waiting for the enemy to break through the city and slaughter you all?"

As expected of the captain, he was born in the army, even if the hope is slim, he still wants to lead the army out of the city for a try.

The counselor at the side pondered for a while, and finally came to his mind again, "Don't worry, don't worry, if there is a night attack, there may be a chance of winning."

That night, five hundred Qingqi rode out from the city and went straight to the besieged barracks.

Ergou in the trench was lucky enough to get a night watch experience pass, and he was pulled up to stand guard even after the second watch.

There were already many friendly brothers in the parapets and trenches around the trebuchet, either gambling or dozing off, no one was aware of the imminent danger.

"Centurion, centurion?" Ergou gently woke up the sleeping officer.

"Ah? What's the matter?!" As the snot bubble burst, the centurion remembered that it was the person who changed the defense, and stood up unsteadily, pointing to the trench with nine bends and eighteen bends ahead.

"You, first turn left, then turn right, go straight for a hundred feet, then turn right at the second intersection, then turn left..."

The left, right, and right made the heads of two dogs big. After listening to the report, all kinds of left and right were left in my mind.

——Forget it, let’s go by feeling, who made this thing called "trench" have nine bends and eighteen bends.

I heard from the centurion that this is the defensive formation that the general saw from the art of war in the pre-Qin period. My dog ​​has never read a book, and I can’t even write the name so I don’t know if it’s true or not. The retrofit should be able to irrigate fields.

Ergou took several of his men to shuttle through the winding trenches. He no longer had a spear in his hand, and replaced it with a ring-shoulder knife. In this narrow environment, a sword is still good.

"Captain, can you really find a place to guard?"

The big soldiers who were woken up in the middle of the night were already dissatisfied, and they had been swaying for almost an hour, which made them complain again and again.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, hold on for a while." Er Gou wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, not sure where he is now.

Even if they asked the friendly brothers nearby, they only knew the area where their troops were stationed, and they could only point at them in a daze.

Just when he was at a loss....Ergou unexpectedly discovered an intersection, extending to the front of the trench.

—It's almost here.

"Brothers, we are here, quickly organize our armaments and let's change our defenses."

The soldiers behind hurriedly straightened their armor, making clanking noises, just like Ergou's anxiety, for fear of being scolded by the friendly army.

Passing through the passage and entering the trench, Ergou found that there was no friendly army around him, and the trench was only a small section.

But since there is no unnecessary trouble, then simply forget it.

As soon as he leaned against the soil wall, Er Gou's ears trembled slightly. As an ignorant farmer, he immediately remembered what the old man once said about something called "earthquake".

That year the old man in the village said that it was earth-shattering, lightning and thunder, and the sky turned purple.

Er Gou was so scared that he peed his pants when he was a child. The shadow of his childhood made him feel completely sleepy, so he exploded and scared the boys under him.

"Captain, what happened, did you have a nightmare?"

Before he had time to respond, the soldier Ergou was about to run away, thinking that these idiots were about to suffer a natural disaster and didn't know how to survive.

The soldiers also stared at him with foolish eyes, not knowing what to do with the silence around them, could it be that a little nightmare scared the crap out of their corporal commander?

Just as everyone's laughter reached their lips, they heard a faint sound of horseshoes not far away.

"Captain, it seems that the enemy attacked at night!"

Only then did Ergou realize that what he heard was not the signal of an earthquake, but the trembling sound of the enemy army marching, but he didn't understand the principle.

Without hesitation, Ergou immediately issued the first order in this battle, "Everyone, run!"

These recruits who had never been on the battlefield were stunned for a moment, and they didn't respond at all. Er Gou immediately went over and kicked the souls of these people back one by one.

These soldiers ran as fast as they could, completely ignoring the life and death of the corporal leader behind them.

"Hey! You idiots, immediately notify the friendly brothers to meet the enemy after you run back!"

This is not an ordinary trench, but a guard trench. Its shape is a mini trench parallel to the front of the main trench, with a length of up to ten meters or even several meters, and it is connected to the rear by a narrow road.

A familiar whistle sounded, and there were bursts of fire on the battlefield. Ergou and his party finally spread the news to the rear before the enemy cavalry arrived.

"All troops, prepare to fight!"

The sergeants in the parapet were also awakened. They still held long guns in their hands, which was the last line of defense to protect the safety of the rear if the trench fell.

Behind them is the precious trebuchet, which is guarded by heavy wooden walls and embodies the painstaking efforts of Jiang Zhe and many craftsmen.

Of course, the main problem is that the processing difficulty of this thing is not low, and every rivet on the fuselage does not symbolize real money.

"Bowman, let go!"

The crossbowmen deployed in the trenches and parapets heard the sound, and they shot away in unison as if in the night.

The infantry were also clinging to the trench wall and waiting in formation. This was the first time they had fought in such a strange fortification, and many of them were excited for the first time in addition to being uneasy.

I don't know how many people will be glued to the blood of the enemy today and transform into a real soldier, or be killed by the enemy.
