The Travelers of the Heavens

"newspaper"A series of sounds came, but they were scouts galloping over on horseback.

"How does the king decide?"Meng Ao asked

"General, your Majesty ordered us to suspend the attack on Wei and destroy the rebels," the scout said breathlessly.

"Well, go down and rest." Meng Ao nodded and dismissed the scouts.

Then he summoned the generals and deployed to attack Fen City.

Two hundred thousand Qin troops soon arrived outside the east gate of Fen City. Rows of Qin soldiers wearing black armor The soldiers of the country are like a black torrent, and they will overwhelm Fen City in the next moment.

In order to prevent the Qin army's catapults from killing the people in the city, Wang Yu has moved them to the center of the city. Currently, there are tents everywhere. These are the people in the city. A temporary residence.

This place can avoid boulders flying in from any direction. Even if the Qin army throws boulders in against the city wall, it will not be able to attack the center of the city.

"So many Qin troops came"

"Yes, yes, as far as the eye can see"

"Then what should we do? Can we keep Fen City?"

On the east wall, the soldiers pointed at the black torrent under the city and talked about it. Their tone was full of panic.

Huh? Aren't they also the original garrison of Qin? Why are they still there? They are afraid that the"comrades" outside the city have different identities now. These former Qin garrison troops no longer belong to the Qin State. Everyone outside the city is their enemy. The enemy is huge and boundless. In the hearts of these defenders Some fear is normal.

Outside the city, from the command vehicle as high as the city wall, Meng Ao looked far into the distance. On the ground around him, there were Qin army phalanxes all around, and the soldiers were waiting for the attack. Order.

In the eyes of these Qin soldiers, Fencheng in the distance seemed to be a huge fat sheep with the word"military merit" written on it, waiting for them to take and cut it.

"Well, send someone to persuade them to surrender." Meng Ao nodded and shouted down. A scout came to the city on horseback and shouted loudly, asking the defenders to open the city and surrender.

But before he could say anything, a short spear flew from the city. Come and stab the unfortunate scout to death. The body sways down and falls off the horse.

There is no doubt that this is Wang Yu's handiwork.

"The rebel is bold! Send the order to attack the city! Meng Ao knew what had happened when he saw that the scouts suddenly fell off their horses and stopped moving. So he ordered an attack angrily.

After hearing the order, the scouts immediately rode to the front phalanx to deliver the order.

There were two phalanxes in the front. After receiving the order, the Wanqin Army began to slowly advance towards the city wall. Almost at the same time, the catapults began to throw huge rocks to attack the city wall to suppress the defenders on the city.

"Well, here we are." Wang Yu nodded, and then walked down the city wall to a small room at the base of the wall.

There was no map or various tables, chairs, or benches in the room, only dozens of lever-like message switches.

Wang Yu moved one of them , accompanied by the sound of gears and transmission rods running below the ground and inside the city wall, just looking at the outside of the city wall, several huge baffles slowly rose up and were fixed at a certain angle.

"Buzz"With the sound of the sound, the boulder flew towards the city wall at high speed

"boom"The boulders hit the baffle one after another and then slid down and fell randomly into the open space outside the city.

The defenders on the city were stunned at this scene. They had seen these strange huge boards hanging on the city walls before, but they didn't know what their function was. Now they understood clearly that these were giant shields.

The city gate-like baffle blocks all the boulders.

At this moment, dense arrows flew in. This was the Qin army's arrow array showing its power. Thousands of crossbow arrows jingled against the baffle and all bounced away.

Under the city, 20,000 Qin troops continued to advance, and the huge chariots and chariots were pushed by the soldiers like monsters approaching the city.

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops have approached the trenches of the city." The defenders told Wang Yu

"I understand, you guys should defend the city well," Wang Yu responded.

Then he left the news room and ordered all the arrow boxes to be moved to the designated location.

This location is an open space in the city, and there is a line drawn on the ground. This is Wang Yu Calculate the location determined later

""Light the fire" and then Wang Yu ordered to light the fuse.

The soldiers holding torches lit the fuses one after another.

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, and the dense gunpowder arrows flew into the air, drawing wonderful parabolas across the city wall. Outside the city.

At this time, the Qin army outside the city is still advancing.

"What's wrong?"

"Why is it so dark?"

Suddenly, the Qin soldiers felt a huge black shadow appear above their heads.

"not good! It's an enemy arrow! Quick defense!"

Someone shouted

"Whoosh.. Whoosh"

"puff.. Forehead!"

"Boom boom.. Poof!"

The voices intertwined.

The Qin army defended themselves. They changed their positions and placed their shields at the front and above their heads in an attempt to resist the gunpowder arrows. However, the penetration of the dense arrows greatly increased with the help of gunpowder. These gunpowder arrows penetrated The double arc shields of the Qin army pierced into the bodies of the soldiers.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers were shot and wounded, and their formation collapsed completely.

"How is this going! Meng Ao, who was watching the battle from behind, was very angry when he saw that his own soldiers were blocked by arrows from the city before they even touched the city wall. They could not even maintain the most basic formation.

On the city."Oh."When the defenders saw that the enemy below the city was defeated, they cheered.

At this time, Wang Yu stopped firing arrows and ordered the soldiers to reload.

After the arrow rain stopped, Meng Ao sent people to check the situation.

"Report.."General, our 20,000 troops are almost completely destroyed." The people sent came back to report to Meng Ao.

Behind him, hundreds of Qin soldiers were sparsely supporting each other in twos and threes and staggering back. This was the only one left in the 20,000 Qin troops.. This was nearly one-tenth of the Qin army's strength, and they were gone before they reached the city wall.

Meng Ao's eyes burned when he saw this. This was the worst start to his military career so far.

"Attack again!"Meng Ao continued to order

""Yes." The scout went to convey the order again.

The Qin army in two square formations totaling 20,000 people began to attack in the second wave.

Seeing that another enemy was coming, the defenders on the city quickly reported to Wang Yu.

This time Wang Yu still used his old tricks. Shi, waited for the Qin army to reach the edge of the moat before firing arrows.

Sure enough, the twenty thousand Qin army made the same mistake again, forcing Meng Ao to suspend the attack and return to the camp to discuss countermeasures.

From then on, the Qin army did not launch any more attacks until the early morning of the next day..

No one was killed in Fencheng, but more than 30,000 Qin troops were killed, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city. In the

Qin army camp, Meng Ao and several generals were holding a military meeting. They were discussing how to quickly Attack Fen City

"Weird thing, why is the small city of Fen so difficult to conquer? Our army has lost tens of thousands of troops before they even get close to the city wall. Where did this group of traitors come from?" said a general.

"Yes, the crossbow arrows that cover the sky and the sun are more powerful than our arrow formation. When has our Qin army ever suffered a loss here?" Another general said

"If we are unable to capture Fencheng for a long time, how can we explain to Xianyang?" Someone else said

"General, I think it is better to dig a tunnel into the city secretly, and cooperate with the inside and outside to capture Fen City." Someone suggested

"I'm afraid it won't work. Fencheng's defense is so strong, how could they ignore the tunnel? I'm afraid the rebels in the city are already ready and waiting for our army to dig the tunnel."

"But how can you know if you don’t give it a try?"

At this time, someone retorted, and the two actually started to quarrel.

"alright! The thief has not yet been defeated, how can he mess up his position?" Meng Ao slapped the table and scolded the two of them.

"Tomorrow at noon, the east gate will be restrained, and the main force will be transferred to the south gate to attack the city. I don't believe Fen City is so tough." Meng Ao decided to attack at another city gate.

""Yes." The generals responded.

At night, one hundred thousand Qin troops quietly left the camp and rushed to the south gate to set up camp, preparing to launch an attack here at noon the next day.
