Chapter 163 Transporting Chariots
Not yet.
Dozens of soldiers from the Southern Army pushed a dozen battering rams and catapults and began to slowly move forward from the edge of the minefield one mile away from the Kunyang city gate.
On the tower, Qin Rubing said to Wang Xing, "Let the archers get ready."
"Yes." Wang Xing went to arrange it immediately.
When a group of southern troops were half a mile away from the city gate, Qin Rubing gave the order: "Shoot!"
Following an order, the archers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, aimed at the direction of the Southern Army, and shot arrows like raindrops.
The Confederate soldiers' faces changed drastically. Realizing that the situation was not good, they immediately ordered a retreat.
The soldiers quickly turned around and ran backwards, avoiding the dense arrows.
"Stop shooting!"
Qin Rubing gave the order again.
The archers on the city wall put down their bows and arrows and stopped shooting.
The Confederate soldiers ran very fast, leaving behind more than a dozen catapults and battering rams.
These chariots remained alone in their original places, filled up in two rows.
Southern Army Camp.
Li Fei was encouraged to see that the soldiers who transported the siege vehicles returned safely, and he thought he had found a shortcut.
After a while, he sent out a second group of soldiers to transport a dozen battering rams and catapults.
Seeing that the Eastern Army soldiers on the city wall ignored them, they continued to push forward, from one mile to half a mile.
At this time, Qin Rubing once again ordered the archers to start shooting arrows.
When the Southern Army soldiers saw arrows being shot down from the city wall, they all ran back, while the battering rams and catapults remained where they were.
As soon as the Southern Army soldiers ran away, the people on the city wall stopped shooting arrows.
After this happened repeatedly, the Southern Army soldiers were no longer afraid when they saw that the Eastern Army on the city wall had only so much capability.
Li Fei ordered to continue transporting battering rams and catapults.
In one hour, about forty or fifty machines were transported back and forth, and finally they were neatly placed in rows half a mile to one mile away from the city gate.
Li Fei nodded with satisfaction. He had not only tested the minefield but also delivered the tanks in advance.
"Retreat!" With the order, the soldiers of that army returned to the barracks.
Seeing that no more people were coming out from the Southern Army, Qin Rubing also said to Wang Xing: "Let's go back."
"Ah? You're going back now?" Wang Xing was confused.
"I said that we should wait until they formally attack the city before activating the minefield."
"Yes." Wang Xing looked back at the chariots, then followed Qin Rubing down the city wall.
At 3 p.m., the Southern Army’s main tent.
After listening to Li Fei's report, Xiao Yi was a little puzzled for a moment.
"You mean there's no danger in that so-called minefield?"
“Yes, I sent people to try several times to get in and out of the so-called minefield, and there was nothing unusual.
During this time, the Eastern Army used the conventional method of shooting arrows from the city walls, nothing new was done.”
Xiao Yi paced back and forth in the tent. All signs indicated that the Eastern Army was vulnerable.
But is it really that simple?
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yi finally made up his mind.
"Li Fei, take your 100,000 men and start attacking the city at noon tomorrow.
I'll give you half a day to take over Kunyang City. How about that?"
"Yes! Make sure the mission is completed." Li Fei took the order and hurried back to deploy.
After Li Fei left, Xiao Yi remembered something and called the messenger, "Inform the other troops not to move without permission."
"Yes." The messenger went down.
Xiao Yi wanted to win the first credit for Li Fei, so he specifically ordered other teams: "Do not move without orders."
But this wrong decision will bring him disaster.
