Chapter 2210

The morning sun is warm and gentle.

The sun gently spreads the light on the earth, dispelling the darkness, dispelling the tranquility of the night, and bringing high vitality to the world.

The grass swung its slender waists, shaking away the cold dew from their bodies in the wind.

In the Jie people's camp, twenty siege towers lined up, and countless Jie people and warriors surrounded by the siege tower.

The warriors stared at Yanmen Pass in the distance.

The pass was closed and the periphery of Yanmen Pass was empty.

But every warrior knew very well that countless companions had fallen there, and the Wanjie people had already fallen outside Yanmen Pass these days.

With the siege tower, the Jie warriors' confidence in breaking through Yanmen Pass also skyrocketed a lot.

The wind outside Yanmen Pass was chilly. The wind blew across the camp of the Jie warriors, making their flags buzz.

The warriors held their breath, waiting for the order to break through the barrier.

Shi Xieyi's face was solemn, and he was also looking forward to the different results of this battle that broke the barrier.

However, the conversation with the Huns the night before made him more doubtful about whether he could break the barrier.

The Huns had no confidence in their own siege towers, and even the people who built the siege towers did not have enough confidence in these giants. How could those who used them be at ease?

Taking a deep breath, Shi Xieyi tried hard to adjust his mood, wanting to calm his mood.

A horse came to Shi Xieyigan.

The horseback was the leader of the Jie people who drew lots the night before.

He held the horse and asked Shi Xieyiyu: "King, can you start the attack now?"

Looking at Yanmen Pass standing in front of him, Shi Xieyi ordered: "Prepare to break the Pass."

After receiving the order, the leader of the Jie people rode his horse and ran towards the warriors' formation.

In front of the warriors' formation, he urged his horse to speed up and shouted loudly: "The king has an order, and is ready to break the barrier!"

The shouts of the leader of the Jie people echoed in the empty field, and all the Jie people warriors raised their weapons and blocked their shields in front of them.

The Jie people who were pushing the siege tower were ready to move forward.

Compared to the past few days, they had a lot of confidence at this time. After all, with the siege tower blocking in front, they also felt at ease.

After many consecutive days of attack, most of the Jie people who died in battle died under arrows.

There is a siege tower blocking it, even if there are many arrows flying from Yanmen Pass, they cannot do anything.

No matter how huge the shield is, it is impossible to protect the siege tower...

The horn sounded, and the Jie warriors, who had been sieging the city for many days, had made no achievements despite countless casualties and injuries, were like chicken blood, pushing the siege tower forward with great efforts.

Following them were groups of Jie people's cavalry.

There is a certain distance between the cavalry and the siege tower.

They do not need to follow closely like infantry, because once the siege tower is near the gate, the horses will take them to the tower at the fastest speed.

The Jie people launched an attack, Yanmen Pass.

Cao Heng looked at the siege tower that was slowly advancing forward, and a smile that was almost ignored appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He ordered Yang Fu beside him: "Governor Yang, send orders to let the soldiers prepare the rockets."

"The eldest son plans to use rockets?" Yang Fu asked Cao Heng.

"They even used the siege tower, so of course I have to use the rockets." Cao Heng said: "Rockets are specially used to deal with enemy siege equipment. I don't know what our original siege equipment is like, but today I can use the Huns' siege tower to try the rockets to see how they have lethality."

"Since it was specially transferred from Penglai, the lethality of the rocket should not be a problem." Yang Fu said: "I will instruct the soldiers to shoot the Jie people with the rockets according to the method taught by the eldest son the day before."

Yang Fu conveyed Cao Heng's order, and not long after, many soldiers holding the tail of the rocket appeared at Yanmen Pass.

The soldiers held the rockets and aimed at the Jie people who were advancing forward.

As long as they ignite the fuse, the rocket will fly out immediately and fall into the Jie people formation, and a cluster of gorgeous fires will rise inside.

Looking at the Jie people who were advancing, twenty siege towers brought a great sense of pressure to the soldiers defending the city.

Many people felt a little relieved when they saw the siege tower.

The siege tower towers into the clouds. Although the speed is slow, the pressure it brings to people is not reduced at all.

Staring at the siege tower that was getting closer and closer, Cao Heng never issued an order to launch the rocket.

Yang Fu urged quietly: "Young Master, the siege tower should have reached the range of the rocket..."

"Don't worry, wait a little longer." Cao Heng did not mean to order immediately, and Yang Fu could only wait anxiously on the side.

The siege tower is a tool specially used to attack the city wall. To destroy it, of course, the farther the two sides, the better.

Yang Fu believes that when the siege tower enters the range of the rocket, he should take the initiative and smash all the giants, so that they cannot get close to Yanmen Pass.

But Cao Heng didn't seem to think so.

He was not anxious at all because the siege tower was getting closer.

On the contrary, Cao Heng even hopes that the siege tower can be closer, at least so close that the Rockets can easily fight.

The siege tower was still advancing towards the checkpoint bit by bit, and Shi Xieyi, who was watching from afar, also held his breath.

The Wei army at the passway did not attack the siege tower. They seemed to have no idea how powerful the siege tower was, and quietly waited for bad luck to come to their heads.

Seeing that the siege tower had advanced a little further, the Wei army still had no news of attacking, Shi Xieyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to the leader of the Jie people beside him: "Cao Heng has not launched an attack yet, so maybe there is nothing to defend against in Yanmen Pass."

"The king is right." A leader of the Capricorn replied: "We have been attacking for so many days, and I don't believe he has so many killing weapons that can send our people in mid-air. Without that kind of thing, I really want to see how they plan to deal with our siege tower."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shi Xieyi's mouth. This was the first time that he had smiled on the corner of his mouth when he came to Yanmen Pass.

The siege tower is still slowly advancing forward.

They first entered the Rockets' range, but Cao Heng did not decide to attack.

However, they entered the range of the powerful crossbow again, and Cao Heng still did not order the attack.

A strong crossbow is not very similar to a longbow.

The long bow depends entirely on human power to pull the bow string. How much strength is there? First, it depends on the tension of the bow string. Another important condition is the strength of the arm of the bent bow.

The strength of the arms is strong enough that the arrows can fly further.

If the arm is not strong enough, it is likely that the arrows fired are flying less than half the distance that others shoot.

But the powerful crossbow is different. Each powerful crossbow is ejected from the machine spring.

The structure of a strong crossbow is relatively simple, but it also has disadvantages. It does not have a curve after flying out like an arrow, and there is no difference in the range of almost every strong crossbow.

The flying arc of crossbow arrows also tends to be straight, and they do not have a very long curve like bows.

After the siege tower entered the range of a powerful crossbow, Cao Heng still did not issue an order to launch the rocket.

Seeing the siege tower getting closer, Yang Fu reminded Cao Heng: "Young Master, the siege tower is too close. They will come to the gate in a while."

"Governor Yang is so impatient?" Cao Heng turned his head and looked at him, grinning at him: "I want to wait for them to get closer, otherwise how can I kill more Jie people?"

The enemy has a siege tower. Although Cao Zhang had said before that the quality of the siege tower of the Huns was not good, the giants that were advancing forward still made people feel unspeakable.

Looking at the siege tower getting closer and closer, Yang Fu subconsciously licked his lips.

Cao Heng seemed to have not noticed those giants at all, and his eyes were always staring at the Jie people's army.

In the Jie people's army, Shi Xieyiyu was also staring at Yanmen Pass.

The two sides were not close, but Cao Heng and Shi Xieyi both felt that the other party was staring at him.

***************************************************

The siege tower is only forty or fifty steps left from the gate.

They had already entered the range of arrow shooting, but Cao Heng still did not order the launch of the rocket.

"Young Master, you can't let them move forward anymore." Yang Fu reminded: "If you still let them move forward, Yanmen Pass will be dangerous."

"No." Cao Heng replied: "Governor Yang, don't worry. With me here, there will be no danger at any time in Yanmen Pass."

Looking at Cao Heng in surprise, Yang Fu didn't know where he came from.

The siege tower is so close to you. As long as there is a Yanmen Pass, the Jie people can rush to the pass like a tide.

The number of people, the soldiers guarding the pass and the standing army inside the pass are far fewer than the Jie people.

The strength of both sides is not equal, even a small omission may lead to defeat and death.

The siege tower moved forward nearly ten steps. Cao Heng's mouth always had a confident smile, but he still did not order an attack on the siege tower.

Yang Fu has reminded him many times, but Cao Heng has no intention of taking action at all, which makes him feel very anxious.

Seeing that the siege tower was getting closer, Yang Fu swallowed and his lips moved.

He wanted to remind Cao Heng that he could do it, but he didn't say it in the end.
