Outside the South City Gate of Jinling, behind the army, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo stood with Nangong Xu to watch the army attack the city.

It was not the first time that Nangong Mo had seen the siege, and even he himself had participated in the defense of the city. But there didn't seem to be any time when there was such a sense of tension and solemnity, that is, she was just an outsider now, and she felt that not a single charge and every time the defenders on the castle tower defended were a little breathless. Once the castle tower is lost, it will mark the end of a generation of emperors.

The horsewhip in Nangong Xu's hand pointed to the city head in front of him and asked, "Look, is there anything built in the city?" ”

The Jinling city tower is quite strong, and it is surrounded by a moat, so it is not easy to attack the city first. Not to mention that the defenders on the towers weren't vegetarians either, and these days, their losses were far heavier than the defenders on the towers.

Nangong Mo looked sideways at Wei Junmo, Wei Junmo looked at the city tower and frowned and thought for a while, and said, "The city tower defense... Almost flawless. ”

Nangong Xu was not disappointed, because he didn't see any flaws after watching it for several days. But it is too much of a loss to fight for who can consume strength in this way. Jinling is an imperial city, not to mention abundant grain and grass materials, and it is absolutely not a problem to support it for three or five months. Although they were still able to win in the end, it was too nerve-wracking. If there are any more accidents, it is not a good thing.

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not impossible." ”

Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to speak directly.

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "Fire attack." ”

“……”

Nangong Mo and Nangong Xu were both stunned, and the two pairs of equally blank eyes looked at Wei Gongzi a little similarly. Seeing that Wei Junmo had no intention of answering, the two turned their heads to look at the city tower in unison. After a long time, Nangong Mo finally clicked and twisted his somewhat stiff neck towards Wei Gongzi, "You can't be what I thought, right?" ”

Wei Gongzi smiled with purple eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched her neck for her, and smiled lightly.

Nangong Xu looked at him sideways and said calmly: "It's too troublesome, it's a little difficult to implement, and it's too damaging." But... It's better than no way. ”

Wei Gongzi was indifferent, "It's your business whether you need it or not, I just said it casually." ”

Hehe, it seems like the Chenzhou Army is mine.

Changfeng Gongzi, who was standing behind them, poked Nangong Xu with some displeasure, "Hey, what do you mean by that?" Fire attack? Where are you going to fire it? "Burn the moat dry with fire? What a great idea.

Nangong Xu lowered his head and calmly watched as Changfeng Gongzi poked his paws. Lin Changfeng smiled and calmly withdrew his hand to wipe his nose. Miss Mo is a woman, and men and women are not kissed. Ever since he was caught from under his nose, Changfeng Gongzi has always been a little scared of Wei Junmo. So I can only poke Nangong Xu.

Nangong Xu didn't care either, and said, "What do you think will happen if you keep burning a large pile of firewood under the city tower?" ”

Changfeng Gongzi thought seriously for a moment and said, "How many buckets of water will fall on the city tower?" "Want to fire under the castle? The defenders on the towers were not made of wood. I'm afraid that before you have put the firewood, the water on the castle tower has already come down. If it is cold water that falls, it is easy to say, but if it is boiling water, then the fun will be great.

Nangong Xu sighed.

Lin Changfeng was displeased, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"No, Changfeng Gongzi, you're right." After Nangong Xu finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates behind him to prepare a large amount of incendiary materials.

"......" This feeling of being despised for IQ again....

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "The problem of the moat, the eldest brother must have solved it, right?" ”

Nangong Xu smiled: "This is not a problem in the first place. "Although the moat is called a moat, it is not very useful if there is a war. The moat of Jinling is not bad, because it is wide enough, so it still causes some trouble for the army. However, within a few days after the start of the war, the generals who were basically responsible for attacking the four city gates had been resolved.

Nangong Xu's method is the most convenient, and the Chenzhou Army has Zixiao Hall as the backing, and there are many strange people. Nangong Xu directly asked people to drive piles from the bottom of the water and paved three pontoon bridges three or four zhang wide on the surface of the lake. The pontoon bridge deck is all connected by iron chains and paved with iron plates, so even if the people on the castle tower want to destroy it, they can't do anything. And this method is not troublesome, even if it is destroyed, it will soon be able to build another one.

The biggest problem is the super defensive city in front of you. Even Nangong Mo could only shake his head and sigh in his heart when he saw it. This kind of permanent fortification, let alone this era, even if there is a bomb, may not be able to explode lightly. And although Miss Nangong has been a killer in her past and present lives, she is not a terrorist, there is no problem in disassembling and modifying guns, and it is okay to make two mines with average effect. But what to do with high-explosive bombs and the like is too difficult for her. Most importantly, you have to find the materials.

From beginning to end, Nangong Mo never thought of bullying the ancients with future high-tech. Because... At that time, her chemistry grades were really a little unattainable.

"Nangong Huai."

Next to him, Jian Qiuyang reminded in a deep voice. Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw Nangong Huai standing on the city tower wearing a battle robe, as if he was looking over this way. Changfeng Gongzi's eyes were good, and he was suddenly angry, "He's provoking us, right?" ”

Jian Qiuyang glanced at Nangong Xu with a smile and said, "He should be provoking Nangong Gongzi." ”

Nangong Xu lowered his eyes, his expression was calm, as if he didn't feel provoked at all. Lin Changfeng was a little curious, "I said Brother Nangong, do you have a way?" If you really get stuck outside this wall, you will be ashamed. "Actually, it's not a shame, although it's admirable that the blue is better than the blue. But the son can't beat Lao Tzu is the thing that most people should take for granted.

Nangong Xu said indifferently: "When the time comes, you will know if I have a way." ”

failed to get the words out, and Changfeng Gongzi left unhappy.

In the next two days, the offensive of Nanchenglou was a little tepid compared to the other city gates. It is also a little strange to see the defenders in the city, although the Chenzhou army is a new army, but its combat power is not weaker than the Youzhou army at all. Is there something wrong with the master's brain or is there some conspiracy?

Duke E and Nangong Huai stood side by side on the city tower, looking at the Chenzhou army who obviously didn't do much of their best under the city, and frowned. E Guogong frowned and asked, "Chu Guogong, is it Ling Lang who leads the troops outside the city?" ”

Nangong Huai's face was a little unsightly, but he still nodded. Just by looking at his face, you can know what he is thinking, and E Guogong has to sigh in his heart. Although Nangong Huai's father and son broke up, the eldest son is still capable. At the beginning, Nangong Huai, who was suddenly difficult to fight, was caught off guard, and E Guogong felt that this kid was a powerful person. If it doesn't, it's already a blockbuster, and now it seems to be true. At a young age, he was able to independently lead troops to attack Jinling, and his previous record was quite objective. On the other hand, his sons are all filial piety, but their abilities are always a little worse, and people can't help but sigh that there is no successor.

"The situation on the south gate side of the past two days doesn't seem to be right, so be careful. The other party is only afraid that there is some trickery. ”

Nangong Huai nodded silently, "Don't worry, old man, I will pay attention." ”

No matter what tricks Nangong had, he would let him make the bamboo basket empty. If you want to break through Jinling, Nangong Xu's ability is not enough!

On the morning of the fourth day, the offensive at the South Gate finally began. The defenders on the city tower saw many Chenzhou troops under the city rushing over one by one to pile firewood under the city tower, and they couldn't help laughing. Nangong Huai stood on the city tower, and a sneer flashed in his cold eyes, "Prepare water!" ”

The fire was quickly lit, not ordinary firewood, but firewood with fuel to support the combustion. As soon as it came across the fire, it immediately burst into flames, and in a short time a raging flame broke out under the castle tower. The defenders on the tower of the city poured buckets of hot water on the spot. Soon, the fire was extinguished, and only a few scattered fires and billowing smoke remained.

Behind the army, seeing this, Changfeng Gongzi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Pointing to the few pitiful fires left under the city tower, he said, "This is your fire attack?" It's spectacular. "Have you been dyed for half a moment from beginning to end? It's a little pitiful to think about.

Nangong Xu glanced at him faintly and didn't speak, and suddenly, a defender on the city tower fell from the city tower one by one. Soon there will be a second, a third ... and some of them that were not planted at the entrance of the city were also spread out on the towers of the city. Seeing this great change, there was naturally chaos on the city tower, and Lin Changfeng under the city was not good, "You poisoned?" ”

Nangong Xu didn't care, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go on!" ”

Soon, dry firewood and flames gas again.

Nangong rushed over in a hurry, only to see the soldiers defending the city lying on the ground. Although he is not dead, losing his combat power on the battlefield is no different from dying. Leng Yan glanced at the distance, and Nangong Huai said coldly: "Prepare sand and stones, extinguish the fire!" ”

This time it was a little slower, and when the defenders prepared the sand and stones to put out the fire, the Chenzhou army under the city tower almost climbed the city tower. Although there was no danger in the end, Nangong was still very angry.

Seeing that the fire was extinguished again, Changfeng Gongzi looked sideways at Nangong Xu, intending to see what other tricks he had. The city tower is too high, and it is not so easy to use poison, if it were not for the poisonous mist raised by the defenders on the city tower from the buckets of water, it would be useless to calculate that Nangong Xu would burn it under the city tower for a day. But now that Nangong is pregnant with sand and gravel and does not use water, this poison is obviously useless.

Nangong Xu said calmly: "Collect the troops." ”

...... "My son has moved the bench and is ready to watch the play, so you will show me this?"

Looking at Changfeng Gongzi's distorted handsome face, Nangong Mo couldn't help but bow his head and laugh, "Changfeng, it's just a joke today." There are so many poisons that are so easy to use. There was no poison in the firewood in the second round. "Poisons that can hurt people at a height of more than a dozen zhang are quite expensive, and the effect of burning them with fire and then turning them into poisonous mist with water is less than one-tenth. It's wasteful, it's not practical, and it's guarded. Where would Nangong Xu really pin his hopes on this. Doing this today, it is better to say that you want to attack the city, but you want to be angry with Nangong Huai.

Changfeng Gongzi snorted lightly, rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, this prince is too lazy to care how Nangong Grand Duke wants to attack the city." But let me remind you, I heard that General Chen and the three sons of the Xiao family seem to have a plan. ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Then what's the concern?" Who wins and doesn't win? ”

"Miss Mo really thinks about it." Changfeng Gongzi said with a smile on his face.

Prince Changfeng soon knew what Nangong Xu wanted to do. The towers are impregnable and unattainable. But the gates are not. The city gates of Jinling are of course very strong, and the thickness of the fine iron is amazing. But... What if the gates of the city were blocked with firewood and burned continuously?

Nangong Xu was very well prepared, and the reality desperately asked people to throw firewood and charcoal at the city gate, and they didn't light it. Even if Nangong Huai kept pouring water and sand and stones, he didn't care. Until the entire city gate was almost a pile of firewood. It is said that in order to prepare for this, Nangong Xu had people cut down the dry firewood on several mountains near Jinling, and bought all the firewood, tung oil, and so on within a radius of a hundred miles near Jinling. He even sent people to farther places to buy it, and anyway, there was a steady stream of firewood sent over, so he didn't have to worry about burning it out.

When the firewood was piled up to a height higher than the entrance of the city, almost covering most of the city wall, Nangong Xu made people frantically pour oil and set fire. At this time, when the fire burned again, Nangong Huai's little bit of water and sand was no longer very effective. What's more, although the gate of the city was burned, the Chenzhou army in other places did not give up the siege. Therefore, the defenders of the south gate will continue to fight.

The fire continued for two days and two nights. Mo said that no one dared to approach within a hundred steps outside the city, even the soldiers defending the city who were also burned at the entrance of the city could not stand at all, so they could only retreat to both sides. Even Chen Yu and Xue Zhen, who were in charge of the other two city towers, also inquired and ran over to watch. General Chen Yu was amazed after reading it. It's a pity that I can't follow suit. Because as long as the defenders of other city gates find that someone is trying to throw firewood below, people will not pour water, and they will directly set fire to help you first. If you want to burn the city gates, you need a long fire, and even if this kind of small fire is roasted for a hundred years, it may not be able to sit on anything.

On the city tower, several generals looked at the south gate where the fire was still burning with ugly faces, and the defenders outside the city were still using stone throwers to throw firewood remotely, and they couldn't speak for a while.

The upper floors of the South Gate, especially the battlements, were now roasted by the fire, and the defenders did not dare to stand over at all. Once the fire under the city is extinguished, it will definitely be the time for the soldiers and horses outside the city to attack the city. The current city gate is afraid that it will not be able to withstand several hits from the enemy and will fall.

"Bastard! If you knew this, you might as well go out and kill those bastards! ”

"......" can't even get out now.

"Nangong Xu's turtle grandson is really damaged!"

“……”

Everyone turned their heads together and looked at Nangong Huai with a gloomy face behind them. Nangong Xu is the grandson of the turtle, what is Nangong Huai's father? The general who spoke obviously knew that he had said the wrong thing, but the words had already been spoken and he felt that he had not scolded him wrongly, and he couldn't pull down to apologize. I had to snort and hurriedly leave. Nangong Huai's reputation in the army is not as good as before, and many generals don't see him very much. Seeing this, they were a little embarrassed, and they also slipped away.

E Guogong, who came after him, also heard the last sentence, but just sighed and reached out to pat Nangong Huai's shoulder. He also doesn't despise Nangong Huai's character, but in the end, they are still fighting side by side. In addition, he was also very envious of Nangong Huai for having such an outstanding pair of children. It's a pity that Nangong Huaisheng didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, and he forced himself to this point.

"Ling Gongzi, it's amazing." E Guogong sighed.

Nangong Huai snorted coldly and said, "Son! ”

E Guogong shook his head, sighed and turned to leave. Since the city gate can't be saved, then the next step can only be to prepare to block the Chenzhou army outside the city gate. As for how long it can be blocked, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.

In the evening of the same day, the fire at the gates of the city finally began to weaken. Nangong Xu had already prepared, and directly led a large amount of water from the moat to rush to the city gate to quickly cool down. Then the soldiers, who had been preparing on one side for a long time, rushed over with siege engines loaded with huge logs without waiting for the temperature to drop completely. A heavy crash sounded outside Jinling City, shaking almost half of Jinling.

After three days and two nights of intense fire, many parts of the city gate were no longer as strong as they were originally. Coupled with the violent impact, the gates began to crumble.

On both sides of the tower, the soldiers defending the city were still fighting the enemy troops trying to climb the tower, but there were almost no people near the city gates, and at most they could only stand at a distance from the battlements and throw stones below. But such an attack had little effect on the siege vehicles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of a heavy crash seemed to hit everyone's heart.

On the tower of the city, the Duke of E sighed and ordered in a deep voice: "Once the city gate is opened, block the city entrance with all your might, and never let the enemy rush in." ”

"Yes, old man!" The generals around him looked solemn and replied in a deep voice.

"Go ahead."

In Xue Zhen's army on the other side, King Yan's face was still haggard, but his spirit was very good. Hearing the sound of impact in the distance, Yan Wang Lang laughed loudly: "Old Xue, it seems that the two of you are going to lose to the young man this time." ”

Xue Zhen smiled a little helplessly: "Old, this is also a matter of no way." I want to congratulate the prince on winning this good general. "Nangong Xu is not only a good general, but the most important thing is young. Unlike these half-old men in their forties and fifties, Nangong Xu is not yet thirty years old, and as long as there are no accidents, he can use them for another thirty years casually.

King Yan waved his hand and said, "This king can instruct them not to move." You two don't be lazy with this king, if you really let the young people take the lead, are you embarrassed? ”

Xue Zhen touched his nose and didn't speak, he and Chen Yu did have some strength. But there are by no means many to the point where Jinling can be broken right away, so it is still a fact that Nangong Xu is faster than them. Of course, they didn't stay for Nangong Xu, but for the three sons of the Xiao family on the other side. Now it's been debunked by the prince, but I don't know what to do.

King Yan glanced at him lightly and said, "I also tell Chen Yu that I can't take two city gates in half a month, so you two can do it yourself." ”

"Yes, lord." Xue Zhen was helpless, so he had to respond with a wry smile.
