After the city wall of the west gate of Jiankang City, the entire row of houses on the outermost floor of Wenkang Fang has been burned to the ground at this moment, but fortunately, Hu Sansheng arrived in time with the water dragon team, so that the fire did not spread. Rao is like this, and in the end, thanks to Liu Yu driving an excavator, he dug down the middle house to form a separation belt.

Sitting on a stone on the side of the road, there was still unburned wood "crackling" behind him. Liu Yu's face and hands were covered with a layer of black ash, but he didn't have the energy to care about it. Leaning behind the city wall all night and listening to the deafening sound, it seems that the entire Jiankang City is shaking, and from time to time there is dust falling from the head and covering the face, as if it is a bomb shelter in the anti-Japanese period performed on TV in later generations.

The golden pheasant slave didn't know where to get a bowl of soup with a black face, and as soon as Liu Yu wanted to stand up by himself, he found that his waist, abdomen, and feet and neck were a little painful. was picked up by the pheasant slave, Liu Yu stood up and took the bowl, regardless of the ashes floating in the soup, he drank most of it in one gulp, and then he felt hungry.

"Have you eaten yourself, what are the casualties of the brothers, and is the doctor here?" Liu Yu looked at her face funny, not knowing that she was also the same image, and after speaking, she turned her head and drank the rest of the soup, which seemed to be boiled with bones, and put the herbs in it.

"Twelve dead, more than a hundred wounded, the injured have been carried to the back, the doctors are treating them, a few are afraid" The pheasant slave's words were not finished, Liu Yu already understood what she meant, in addition to the seriously injured, there may be lifelong disabilities, he is not a savior, even he himself should be injured.

Liu Yu raised his head, the originally majestic city tower was already crumbling, and he didn't know how many stone bullets he had withstood the attack. He pointed to the city tower and instructed the golden pheasant slave to find a few sergeants to cut down the pillar, but he couldn't save it anyway, so he simply dismantled it and burned it as firewood.

The sergeants moved quickly, and several people split the remaining pillars with two blows, and with a "boom", the entire tower fell from the high platform and fell into the street. Seeing that they were finished, Liu Yu staggered to the top of the city, looked into the city, and saw smoke everywhere in the southwest, which must be similar to his own side.

On the city walls on both sides, the defenders are busy building something, this is not Liu Yu's order, it should be the usual practice of defending the city in ancient times. I saw a few poles sticking out of the female wall, and there was a curtain hanging on it, is this to show a movie? In a few moments, the entire wall was hung with this cloth.

"This is a cloth curtain, used to prevent arrows, if it wasn't for the surprise last night, it wouldn't have made the tartars fight like this." The golden pheasant slave knew that Liu Yu didn't understand at a glance, and handed him a soaked cotton towel while explaining to him. Liu Yu suddenly realized that this thing was mainly to slow down the speed of flight, thereby reducing its destructive power.

Liu Yu took it and wiped his face, and as soon as he handed the cotton towel back to the pheasant slave, he heard the walkie-talkie in his arms ring. When he took it out and turned on the receiving button, his face changed suddenly, and when he patted his body, he didn't know where the telescope was going, and in his eagerness, the golden pheasant slave reached out and handed over an object, which was the telescope he was looking for.

The mist outside the city was lifting, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the Tartar camp in the distance, combined with the news that Li Shiyi had sent back, the attack was about to come. Liu Yu didn't dare to slack off, so he notified the other four doors through the walkie-talkie and told them to deal with it carefully.

"Beat the drums, order the defenders to take their positions, push the equipment up, and prepare the supplies for use." With Liu Yu's series of instructions, the originally somewhat tired defenders cheered up, crossbowmen, hook gunners, arranged in order behind the female wall, and the gunners pushed the bed crossbow catapults to their respective positions.

At this moment, a clear trumpet sound was also heard in the direction of the Tartar camp, and it continued one after another. In front of the west gate, one after another infantry phalanx appeared, between the phalanx erected tall leather chariots, and on both sides of the phalanx lined up in vertical columns of cavalry guarding the surroundings.

In front of the phalanx and the building car, there was a group of people, each in a group of several people carrying a long ladder to the front. Liu Yu looked at it in the telescope, and his heart sank, these people were dressed differently, without armor, ordinary Song people were dressed up, and they were clearly ordinary people.

The enemy line slowly and neatly advanced towards the city gates, and the scene behind the formation was also revealed, and a row of tall return guns was ready to fire. After about three hundred paces, the enemy formation stopped advancing, and the cavalry on both sides dispersed, blocking the flanks of the large formation.

"Woo~Woo~Woo!" Three long trumpets sounded, and the infantry phalanx began to change, and rows of crossbowmen stepped forward through the swords and spearmen, raising their crossbows diagonally into the sky. Liu Yu did not give the same order, and the defenders picked up the large shields leaning against the wall, ready to meet the enemy's rain of arrows.

After a few moments, the first thing that flew into the air was the round bullet fired by the return cannon, and then the crossbowmen let go of the trigger in their hands, and countless crossbow arrows flew towards the city after the round bullet. Liu Yu was also like everyone else, squatting behind the women's wall and raising a big shield with both hands to protect his head and face.

The stone bullet was first blocked by the curtain outside the female wall for a while, reducing the momentum of its fall, and then it hit the city wall. A large part of the crossbow arrows were also shot at the curtain, and the rest were blocked by the great shield, and the Tartars' attacks had little effect.

However, most of the curtains on the head of the city were also destroyed, and before they could replace the damaged ones, the second round of arrows flew into the air. Liu Yu only felt a shock all over his body, a stone bullet hit the female wall, and the rain of arrows falling from the sky also made the big shield clang.

Five rounds of such attacks were launched, and several bed crossbows and a catapult on an enemy platform were destroyed by stone bullets at the head of the city at the west gate, and the casualties of the defenders began to increase. At this moment, the enemy formation began to move slowly again, and the phalanx of foot soldiers slowly approached the moat with the building cart.

The firing of the return cannon suddenly stopped, and the threat of the enemy crossbowmen's projectile was not great, Liu Yu stood up with the defenders, waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range.

Suddenly, the people at the front of the enemy formation rushed to the moat with a long ladder on their shoulders, and tried to put the ladder on the river. In this short distance, Liu Yu and the defenders dug a lot of traps, and along the way, people kept screaming and falling into the traps full of bamboo sticks.

"The armies launched on their own." Liu Yu raised the loudspeaker and roared, and the crossbowmen who had already aimed at the city shot the crossbow arrows in their hands one after another, and the people without armor fell to the ground one after another, and the enemy was screaming miserably before the battle.

Although he knew that the other party was an ordinary person, Liu Yu did not have the capital to be compassionate, whether it was voluntary or forced, everyone outside the city gate was an out-and-out enemy.

He is now very glad that he implemented the policy of "fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness" before the siege, otherwise, it is likely that the villagers who are defending the city are outside the city gate today. In that case, the blow to the morale of the city would be fatal.

Seeing that the civilians were killed or wounded and threw away the ladder in their hands, the foot soldiers in the enemy formation stepped forward with large shields, lifted the ladder and continued to move towards the moat. As the distance approached, the marksmen on top of the buildings and carts in the phalanx also began to provide cover, suppressing the counterattack at the head of the city with accurate shots.

Finally, the ladder reached the moat, and the foot soldiers lifted the ladder and poured the other end to the opposite bank, and the entire moat was soon filled with ladders, and the enemy ranks burst into cheers.
