The 50,000-strong army from Jiangdong divided into four groups to attack Jingzhou, causing turmoil in the entire Jingzhou and making people panic.
Ma Liang sent troops to escort the old lady and the lord's wives and two sons to leave Xiangyang for Luoyang, but they did not agree and were willing to garrison here with the soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang.
Now the morale of the military and the people in Xiangyang City has stabilized, and the entire Jingzhou has also become much more stable. Even if the old lady and the lord's wife don't leave, Xiangyang will definitely be able to hold on.
Although the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia were all occupied by Jiangdong, they were too far away from Xiangyang, and the people and officials had withdrawn, so there was no impact.
Lu Xun¡¯s 20,000 troops soon arrived in Xiangfan and stationed themselves under Xiangyang City.
The next day, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led three thousand soldiers and horses, pushing catapults, arrow towers, ladders, rams and other siege equipment to the city.
Liu Pan was wearing armor and standing at the top of the city.
"Liu Pan, you only have a few thousand soldiers and horses, and you are no match for our 20,000-strong army. I advise you to open the city and surrender as soon as possible to prevent the people from suffering the flames of war!" Jiang Qin said loudly.
"Jiangdong rats, untrustworthy people, betrayed the alliance several times, why are you making noise here!" Liu Pan pointed at Jiang Qin with his big knife, "The swords and spears of our soldiers in Xiangyang City have been sharpened long ago, waiting to chop off your dog's head. We are not afraid of death. Come and attack the city!"
"Warriors from Jiangdong, whoever attacks the city will receive a reward of 100, and whoever cuts off Liu Pan's head will receive a reward of 500. Attack the city for me!"
The two sides are not speculating, and a war is about to break out.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Jiangdong's three thousand soldiers were divided into two square formations. The ones in front were all sword and shield soldiers with their shields set up high. The soldiers behind them were carrying ladders. They did not rush, but slowly moved forward.
There were more than a dozen arrow towers scattered around, and more than twenty strong men were carrying the wooden blocks, and they were slowly advancing with the soldiers.
The catapult has also been prepared, and the stones have been put on it, waiting for the order to launch immediately towards the city head.
"Great Wind Crossbow, fire!" Liu Pan suddenly shouted.
I saw long arrows flying down from the city and flying directly to the catapult team of Jiangdong soldiers.
The place where the catapult was placed was originally outside the range of bows and arrows, so there was no shield protection. The soldiers were directly penetrated by the long arrows, and screams continued.
Even if you have a shield, you can't prevent it. What kind of arrow is this? These are clearly spears, but who has the strength to throw the spear such a long distance with great force?
"No, it's a gale crossbow!" Jiang Qin was shocked!
The Gale Crossbow is a powerful weapon of the Qin Empire. It attacked the Six Kingdoms and was invincible. It was a nightmare for all the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms. But later this kind of weapon was lost. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai did not expect that they would encounter it today.
The soldiers beside the catapult had nowhere to hide, and were soon nailed to the ground by spears. It was too horrible to watch.
"Quick, rush over!" Jiang Qin shouted. He had discovered that although the Gale Crossbow was powerful and had a long range, it couldn't perform well when it got close.
Of course, placing the Gale Crossbow on the top of the city is specifically designed to deal with catapults. This type of vehicle is heavy, inconvenient to move, and cannot be used in field battles, so it can only be used to defend the city.
Seeing that Jiang Dongbing's catapult was unable to function, Liu Pan was very happy and at the same time admired his lord Liu Cong even more. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to the production of these weapons. He believed that in order to win the war, he must train strong soldiers. Now I realize that no matter how strong the soldiers are, they are still made of flesh and blood and are vulnerable to those sharp weapons.
Although the shield bearer blocked the arrows shot from the top of the city, after arriving at the bottom of the city, rolling wood and thunder stones were thrown down together, causing great damage to Jiangdong soldiers.
"Quick, shoot the arrow!" Jiang Qin roared.
The crossbowmen of Jiangdong soldiers began to drop arrows into the city, and more than a dozen arrow towers had already approached the city, and the two sides started shooting at each other.
Soldiers kept falling off the city walls or arrow towers, and the war drums sounded. These drumbeats made the soldiers feel excited, so that they had no fear of death and blood, and just shouted and rushed forward.
The soldiers in front fell down, and the soldiers behind stepped on their bodies and continued to rush forward.
The ladder was finally set up at the top of the city, and Jiangdong soldiers climbed up row after row like ants climbing a tree.
The shouts, screams, and war drums were mixed together.
The corpses of soldiers from both sides, rolling logs and thunderstones fell one after another towards the city, and the entire city turned into a stranglehold.meat machine. Fresh life, as soon as it comes close, blood and flesh will fly everywhere, bones will be broken and tendons will be broken.
Finally, some soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, and a smile appeared on the faces of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. By being able to attack the city so quickly, Liu Pan, the general who ruled the country, seemed to have lived up to his reputation.
But the next moment, their smiles solidified.
A group of soldiers appeared on top of the city, holding strange weapons in their hands, and they kept flying arrows!
They jumped around nimbly, and as long as they raised their hands, arrows would shoot out, seemingly endlessly. Poor Jiangdong soldiers, after they reached the top of the city, they had already turned into hedgehogs before they even raised their swords.
"Gong Yi, this is Liu Pan's plan. He wants to shoot our soldiers at the top of the city!"
Zhou Tai suddenly realized that after his soldiers rushed to the city, the crossbowmen under the city and on the arrow tower could no longer shoot arrows to avoid causing accidental damage to Jiangdong soldiers. However, at this time, the soldiers who rushed up could only be shot by the other side. .
In this period of time, most of their soldiers have been lost. If we charge to the top of the city again, the entire army may be wiped out!
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"
"Ding" A golden sound sounded. The soldiers on the ladder stopped rushing upward, and the Jiangdong soldiers below the city also began to retreat.
How could the crossbowmen at the top of the city let go of such an opportunity? Jiang Dongbing was shot and killed again.
When Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai counted the soldiers, they found that there were only more than a thousand soldiers left, so they had to return to the camp to give orders.
After Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai reported the situation, Lu Xun and Cheng Pu did not punish them. The siege would have cost a lot, and the two of them were not at fault.
"Bo Yan, what are the strange weapons of the Han army that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai said?" Cheng Pu asked.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be Lian Nu!" Lu Xun looked worried.
"Liannu?"
"Yes, Liannu! I once heard that the Mohist family made a weapon that can fire crossbows continuously, called Liannu!"
"Why does Liu Cong have such a weapon?"
"I have been thinking about this issue. Old general, you might as well think about it. Every time Liu Cong fights, there will be new weapons, such as thunder chariots and Han knives. This time, gale crossbows and repeated crossbows appear. These are all Why?"
"Could it be that there are descendants of the Moh family among them to help?"
"If that's the case, it will be very difficult to capture Xiangyang!"
"Bo Yan, how about we divide our forces? I will lead a group of soldiers and horses to attack Fancheng, and you can contain Liu Pan here."
