Chapter 210 Siege
"Dwarf Hill"

"Your Majesty" Aishan put down the mutton, and bowed to Xiao Hong's side.

"During this period of time, did any major events happen in Daqin?" Xiao Hong asked after taking a sip of kumiss.

"Reporting to your Majesty, a few days ago, Great Qin went to war with the newly established Chu State. The Anbei Protectorate collected some meat from us and transported it to the military camp." Ai Shan took the wine pot and filled it up for Xiao Hong. .

"Why did Great Qin go to war with Chu?" Xiao Hong remembered that before he left, Qin Shi Huang only ordered Ren Xiao to lead troops to Liaodong County. How come the two sides started a war in just ten days.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that Chu State attacked Daqin's army, and Fuyu State also detected that this newly established Chu State was built by the Xiang family, the remnants of the original Chu State." Ai Shan didn't know either. Too much news.

"Xiang's family! Could it be..." Xiao Hong had sent people to Wuzhong to look for Xiang Yu and his party before, but they couldn't find them. Maybe they fled to the Jizi Dynasty.

That night, Xiao Hong sat in the tent and didn't sleep. He kept thinking about how to deal with Xiang Yu, and finally decided to kill him after careful consideration. After all, Xiang Yu was too difficult to control. It can be influenced by some methods, and the newly established country of the Xiang family is named Chu. It seems that the heart of restoring the country is not dead.

Early the next morning, Xiao Hong found Ye Qingya, and said: "Ye Qingya, you guys will stay in the Wu'an tribe for a while, and I will go out to do some errands. During this time, you can also use your internal affairs knowledge to teach Aishan How do they manage the tribe? When I come back, I will take you to Xianyang."

"Okay, you go and do your work, we'll wait for you here" Ye Qingya also heard the conversation between Xiao Hong and Ai Shan yesterday, she knew that Xiao Hong would definitely go to the battlefield, after all, she had already talked with these patriarchs last night After chatting, she knew that Xiao Hong, the title of Lord Wu'an, actually got it by virtue of his military exploits.

Xiao Hong nodded, walked out of the tent where Ye Qingya and his family lived temporarily, found Aishan, and said: "Aishan, my friends are staying with you temporarily, and Ye Qingya will teach you well during this period of time. How did you develop the tribe"

"Ai Shan knows," Ai Shan bowed and said.

After arranging everything, Xiao Hong jumped up with his sword and headed towards the direction of Chu State. At the same time, Anbei Dufu Mansion and Liaodong County had brought a large number of siege equipment.

"General, all the siege equipment is in place, do you want to attack the city now?" Ren Xiao's lieutenant bowed and said.

"Then let the soldiers get ready. After resting for so many days, it's time to move." Ren Xiao rode on his horse and looked at the Hongliao Mansion of Chu State in the distance, stroking his beard and saying.

Qin Jun has been yelling and cursing outside Hongliao's mansion for so many days, but Chu Jun is even more shy and stays behind closed doors, and does not retaliate, which makes Ren Xiao very uncomfortable. He is here to earn military merit, isn't it? Come to scold the street.

When the Qin army was preparing to attack the city, Xiao Hong stepped on a flying sword and landed in front of Ren Xiao from the sky.

"Mr. Wu An!" The sudden appearance of Xiao Hong startled Ren Xiao, but Ren Xiao who came to his senses immediately got off his horse, bowed and said, "See Mr. Wu An"

"See Lord Wu An" the rest of the soldiers also reacted and bowed to salute at the same time.

"Get up, I just came back from the outside, I heard that His Majesty sent the Marquis of Yichang to attack Chu, so I rushed over here, how is the war going now?" Xiao Hong helped Ren Xiao up.

"My lord, after the Marquis led his army into the Chu Kingdom, he only fought against the Chu army once before he was blocked from the Hongliao Mansion," said Xiao Hong, who was embarrassed to look at it.

"If I remember correctly, Marquis of Yichang, you have led the army to attack the Chu State for ten days, and you haven't even captured a single Hongliao mansion?" How could the fierce general of the Yue Land not even be able to attack a single Hongliao Mansion.

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that the army I led this time did not carry siege equipment, and there are tens of thousands of Chu troops in the Hongliao Mansion. As long as there are ladders, I am afraid that it will cause too much damage, so I did not attack the city by force. The siege equipment mobilized by Hufu and Liaodong County, these siege equipment just arrived today," Ren Xiao hurriedly explained.

"Okay, let's attack the city now." Xiao Hong let go of Ren Xiao and ordered.

"Here..." After Ren Xiao took the order, he immediately began to arrange the siege.

Under Xiao Hong's order, the Qin army assembled the siege equipment in half an hour. This time, the Anbei Protectorate and Liaodong County delivered thirty trebuchets, three rams, and eight wells. And some ladders.

"Preparation for the trebuchet" Daqin didn't have gunpowder, so the trebuchet was really a catapult, and the catapults were all huge stones.

"Let go!" With an order, thirty trebuchets launched their first salvo towards Hongliao Mansion.

boom!
Huge stones flew into Hongliao Mansion, and many Chu soldiers were crushed to death when they couldn't dodge, and many stones fell directly on the city wall of Hongliao Mansion, creating a deep hole.

The original city wall of Hongliao Mansion in the Jizi Dynasty was an earthen wall, which was urgently reinforced by Chu State. Although it was much stronger, it still couldn't stop the catapult.

"Get out!" Under the cover of the flying stones from the trebuchet, a cart and three wells slowly pulled out from the Qin army and marched towards Hongliao mansion, while the Qin army on the well fence continued to move towards Hongliao mansion Shooting arrows, the Chu army was so overwhelmed that they couldn't lift their heads.

When Jing Lan was halfway to Hongliao Mansion, Ren Xiao waved his hand, and thousands of Qin soldiers carried ladders to launch the first round of charge.

"The Qin army is charging, get up and shoot back!" The young generals on the city wall of Hongliao Mansion yelled at the archers, telling them to get up and shoot at the Qin army, so that the Qin army could not charge without any scruples.

puff!
Many Chu army archers were headshot by the Qin army on the well as soon as they raised their heads, but there were still many Chu soldiers who were under pressure and shot arrows at the Qin army who was carrying the ladder.

Many Qin troops were shot by arrows and fell on the way to charge, but even so, the momentum of the Qin army's charge was still not contained.

"General, the Qin army has attacked the city." During this period of time, Xiang Yu stayed in the government office of Hongliao Mansion, thinking about how to defeat the Qin army.

"It seems that their siege equipment has arrived." Xiang Yu picked up the Overlord Spear and rushed to the city wall of Hongliao Mansion with his own army.

When Xiang Yu came to the city wall of Hongliao Mansion, many Qin soldiers had climbed the city wall and fought with the Chu army, and three well rails also crashed into the city wall.

boom

Three iron plates were erected on the city wall of Hongliao Mansion, and hundreds of Qin troops rushed out of the well to fight with the Chu troops.

The Chu army temporarily suppressed the Qin army who had climbed the city wall by virtue of their numbers, but when they didn't notice, the chariot under the protection of hundreds of shield soldiers finally arrived at the gate of Hongliao Mansion.

boom!
boom!
The city gate of Hongliao Mansion was trembling under the impact of the car, and the Chu army at the gate of the city was struggling to resist the gate with wood, but with the impact of the car, the city gate of Hongliao Mansion could not last long. .
