After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing became nervous immediately. If Hu Jun really used a siege car, Qingyu City would be really dangerous. Although there are 20,000 troops in the city now, 8,000 of them are cavalry, and they cannot use their strength when defending the city. Relying on 12,000 infantry to defend more than 50,000 people from the opponent, it is very stressful. If the opponent uses a siege car again, it will be even more difficult to defend it.

Qian Xiaoxing said: "It would be great if we could burn the siege car with hot air balloons."

Lu Shengzhong said helplessly: "This hot air balloon floats away to see the direction of the wind, and we can't change the direction at all."

"Then I will go back and study how to break the siege cars. On the other hand, I will closely investigate the progress of the Hu army's construction of siege cars. I guess they will attack after they have built it." Qian Xiaoxing analyzed.

"Well, it depends on you." Lu Shengzhong was still confident in Qian Xiaoxing, and then said, "When the daytime I will let the hot air balloon float over and take a look and investigate."

Qian Xiaoxing took the drawings of the siege car and returned to his residence to study. If Hu Bing's siege car was indeed drawn according to the drawings, and according to the description of the soldiers, it would be much higher than the city wall, then the Hu Bing above could be shot on the city wall with arrows at a distance of 40 or 50 meters, while the refining bombs were just thrown by hand. It was so high and so far away that they could not hit.

If it is like Panlong Pass before, it is OK to build some cement wall arrays to prevent siege cars from approaching, but there is no cement in the city. Even if there is such a large range, it will take a lot of time to do it. Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to give up this idea. He thought about it all night but couldn't think of a good idea, so he had to go to bed first.

The next day, the hot air balloon that flew out continued to harass Hu Jun's camp and investigated. After returning, he reported to Qian Xiaoxing, saying that Hu Bing's twenty siege cars were about to be completed, and it would take about one day to see the progress.

There is another day when Qian Xiaoxing also wrote that he became anxious. If he couldn't think of a solution, his life might be lost. Moreover, the 20,000 soldiers who had been trained in the city would be wiped out. When he thought of this, he felt more stressed.

Qian Xiaoxing lowered his head and walked on the street. On both sides were Qian Xiaoxing's guards and soldiers, who were always following Qian Xiaoxing to protect him. The people in the city were basically friendly. Seeing that Si Jun did not make things difficult for them, the people also relaxed their vigilance and some were walking on the street.

Qian Xiaoxing took a few steps and suddenly thought of something. He stopped thinking for a while, shook his head and continued to move forward, causing the guards and soldiers to walk one after another. The actions of a large group of people seemed a little strange.

Along the way, Qian Xiaoxing saw two little boys playing in front of him. One of them tied a braid and said, "I'm younger than you, but I'm taller than you."

Another child had a snot and replied unconvincedly: "I am taller than you."

The two of them refused to give in to each other, so they got together and started to compete with whom they were taller. However, after they walked together, they were indeed about the same size, so they started arguing.

Seeing this scene, Qian Xiaoxing silently said, "I'm taller than you!" Thinking that the siege car is taller than the city wall, he suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but clapping his hands and shouting, "I have it!"

Qian Xiaoxing immediately found Lu Shengzhong and told him his thoughts. Lu Shengzhong's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect this solution? Seventh brother, you are still smart. Thank you for your hard work, I will do the next job."

"Haha, that's fine. It seems that if I compare myself with you, then I will have a brain, you are just hands and feet, and it will be useless if you lose each other." Qian Xiaoxing laughed.

Lu Shengzhong disagreed and said, "You can find your hands and feet again, but it is not easy for me to find a smart mind. Then I will make arrangements first. When Hu Bing arrives, they will be nice."

There was only one day before the Hu army attacked the city. Lu Shengzhong knew that the matter was urgent and no longer delayed it. He immediately worked overtime and arranged it.

In the devastated Hu Jun camp, Peng Guangyi was in a very unhappy these days. He was harassed by hot air balloons and was already in a state of great anxiety. He had never fought a war and was teased so miserably by his opponents. After thinking about it, Peng Guangyi came to the place where the siege car was manufactured, and found the soldier responsible for the siege car and asked, "When can I do it well?"

The soldier replied respectfully: "It will take about two more days."

"Two days won't work. I'll order you to do it in one day. If you do it for one more day, you will be harassed by Si Jun for one day. I can't stand it anymore." Peng Guangyi gave a death order.

The soldier had no choice but to nod and said, "Yes, then let's hurry up and keep trying to drive it out at night."

Peng Guangyi said seriously: "It's not about fighting for it, it's certain. If you don't do it well, I will deal with you according to the military law of dereliction of duty."

The soldier had no choice but to respond: "Yes, I will definitely do it."

After hearing this, Peng Guangyi left with satisfaction. He found Meng Zhongzhan and discussed the plan of the troops to jointly siege the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and prepared to take down Qingyu City in one fell swoop.

Both the Si Jun and the Hu Jun were speeding up the deployment. When the Si Jun arranged according to Qian Xiaoxing's plan, the Hu Jun also assembled a team to prepare to attack the city.

On that day, the sun was exposed to the plains and the weather was very hot. Qian Xiaoxing was holding a telescope on the city wall and looking at the distance. His face was covered with sweat, but he was so nervous that he had no time to wipe it. He saw many tall siege cars slowly pushed over in the distance, surrounded by Hu army infantry.

The siege cars stood in the crowd like giants, and the teams below were neat and orderly, and it seemed that they were arranged in an orderly manner.

Lu Shengzhong had a serious expression and walked to Qian Xiaoxing and said, "We're finally here. It seems that today is the time for a decisive battle."

"Well, if the Hu army cannot even attack with siege vehicles, they probably have no choice. We will kill as many Hu soldiers as possible." Qian Xiaoxing suggested.

"Okay, let them attack first, and then use secret weapons," Lu Shengzhong was unhappy when he thought that Hu Jun was going to be defeated again this time.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Si army were already on high alert, and even the female soldiers of the Wild Cherry Regiment had their archery skills. These female soldiers had first-class archery skills, and they all wanted to rush to perform well this time.

The Hu soldiers advanced slowly. In order to restrain the military forces, they still attacked in four directions, but all twenty siege cars arrived at the east gate.

Peng Guangyi and Meng Zhong Zhan rode their horses and followed the siege car. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, Peng Guangyi raised his hand and all the teams stopped. After observing the Si army on the city wall, Peng Guangyi ordered: "The siege car is moving forward, stop after one arrow from the city wall."

There were more than twenty Hu soldiers standing on the top of the siege car. These soldiers were among the best archery skills in the army. There were also a large number of feather arrows piled up beside their feet. The siege car was pushed by the soldiers below and slowly leaned up to the city wall.

Compared with the city wall, the height of the siege car is two or three meters higher than the city wall. It seems that the advantage of being condescending is very obvious.

The soldiers above had tried to pull the bow and shoot arrows. The distance gradually approached. When the bow and arrow could hit the city wall, the siege car stopped.

A row of tall siege cars parked beside the east gate wall. The two thick woods stretched out from the siege cars were hung with a stack of wooden boards, like a man's arms, which made the siege very much like a standing person, with his hands raised forward.

Peng Guangyi came to the siege car, took out his long sword and pointed it forward, shouting: "Shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers on the siege car immediately shot continuously, and the feather arrows shot towards the city wall. Some of the soldiers on the city wall squatted down and used the wall to block the feather arrows, while some raised their shields and hid behind them.

Peng Guangyi was overjoyed when he saw the pretense. If the Si Jun were suppressed like this, it would be too easy to attack the city. He immediately waved his hand to the back and ordered: "When the Si Jun archer was suppressed, come on!"

The soldiers behind had already prepared the ladder. After hearing this, several people rushed towards the city wall with the ladders, and a large number of Hu soldiers behind followed.

The moat was immediately occupied by the dense Hu army. Once the ladder was laid, Hu soldiers couldn't wait to climb up the city wall.

The Si army on the city wall was suppressed by the Hu soldiers on the siege car with bows and arrows, and could not effectively counterattack. Only occasionally, a few people took advantage of the gap and threw down a few refining bombs, but it had no effect on the Hu army's attack.

Qian Xiaoxing and Lu Shengzhong squatted behind the city wall, occasionally looking up at the current situation, and saw that Hu Jun had already climbed up in several places. However, at this time, the soldiers on the siege car stopped attacking slightly, because they were afraid that the feather arrows shot out would hurt their people, the Si Jun on the city wall would cut down the enemy.

Seeing that the Hu army was almost attacking, the danger was increased if it delayed, and immediately ordered: "It's right now! Go!"

I saw that the soldiers of the Si army had already prepared the stairs at the city wall. The soldiers carried a high tower made of wood, which was about five meters high, not very large, but they made many, and they lined up and waited.

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately carried the wooden tower up the stairs and lined up the wooden tower along the city wall under the shield of the soldiers' shields.

These wooden towers were the Hu army siege cars that Qian Xiaoxing thought of. Since the siege cars were taller than the city wall, they built these towers and placed them on the city wall, so that the soldiers above would be higher than the siege cars.

The Hu Bing's offensive became more and more fierce, and some of them had already rushed up, but after all, there were not many people coming up, and they were all killed by the Si Jun. However, as long as the city wall was occupied by the Hu Bing, the defense on the city wall would be dangerous.

Lu Shengzhong hurriedly ordered: "The wooden tower attacks!"

Some soldiers had climbed to the wooden tower. Since the wooden tower could not be made very large, there could only be two people standing on it, but a thunderbolt carriage had long been tied to it.

When the soldiers on the wooden tower heard the order, the two of them immediately pressed down the lever of the thunder chariot, spurted out a line of fire from the thunder chariot's fire opening and flew towards the siege car.

The thunder chariot's jet distance on the flat ground is thirty meters. Now it is about three meters taller than the siege car, and it can just spray to the top of the siege car. The fire on the top immediately burns, burning Hu soldiers who were shooting arrows on it into a ball, and the wooden boards in front of the siege car lost their protective effect.

There were rows of wooden towers on the city wall, and the thunder chariots kept spitting out their tongues and heading towards the siege. Immediately, twenty siege cars were sprayed, and the fire began to burn.

The Hu soldiers above didn't have time to hide, and their whole bodies were ignited, screaming miserably. Some of them fell from the siege car while struggling, like a fireball landing, and fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, and there was no sound.
