142 Bombing of the city

It was just night, and the moat hadn't been filled with much stuff, so Zhao Jun finally took action, directly injecting fire oil into the river through the many small holes reserved in the moat, and when the filling was completed, he directly dropped the torch, and the entire moat instantly burst into flames.

Yang Xiong looked at the moat that had been completely burned and many Zhao people who were about to move, and immediately took out his sword and killed one person, and after shocking these people, he quickly began to adjust his deployment.

directly found Yang Duanhe, asked for a regiment of crossbowmen, and completed the formation at a distance of five hundred meters from the moat, responsible for the supervision of the formation.

Immediately after that, the moat was no longer filled with trees and hay bales, and all were replaced with gravel.

The excavation of sand and gravel in the rear was all entrusted to the Qin people, while the Zhao people were only responsible for sending the excavated sand and gravel to the moat and dumping it.

There was a regiment of crossbowmen to supervise, and these Zhao people knew very well that they could only act according to Yang Xiong's orders, and if they dared to escape, the consequence would only be death.

Don't look at all the Zhao people, it seems that they can take the opportunity to escape into Yecheng, this is simply wishful thinking.

The 90,000-strong army is in front of the city, ready to attack at any time, as long as the Yecheng defenders dare to order the drawbridge to be lowered, then before these Zhao people escape into Yecheng, I am afraid that Yecheng will be lost.

"Can you fill the moat before dawn?"

"Don't worry, boss, no problem, it won't be dawn!"

Yang Xiong is full of confidence, at this rate, as long as the Yecheng defenders continue to do nothing, let alone dawn, give him another three hours, he can do it.

However, will the Yecheng defenders really continue to do nothing?

Yang Xiong here patted his chest with confidence, and as soon as he finished giving Li Ling a package ticket, the Yecheng defenders over there began to act, and countless arrows poured down from the city wall, and the target of the arrows was only a few meters away in front of the moat.

Retreating, ushering in the crossbow arrows of the Qin army, advancing, facing the shooting of the Zhao army, for a while in the middle of the battlefield for a while, these ordinary Zhao farmers seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, and could only be piled up in the middle of the battlefield.

"Whoever stagnates does not former, kill! Whoever sends ten loads of soil, let it go! ”

Yang Xiong let out a loud roar, and then ordered the crossbowmen to shoot dozens of people, these Zhao people finally rushed up against the arrows shot from the city again, at least, at least Yang Xiong gave them a chance, as long as they could send enough ten loads of soil, then they would be able to survive.

"Kill me!"

Seeing that these people under the city began to go forward and fill the moat one after another, the defenders of the Zhao army also knew that they could not delay any longer, so they could only give an order to shoot indiscriminately.

This......

In the face of such indiscriminate shooting by Zhao Jun, the river reclamation operation stalled again, and he was a little helpless.

"On the shield cart! Forced a way! ”

At the critical moment, it had to be Yang Duanhe who went out and directly ordered the shield cart to be pushed to the battlefield, and the manpower to fill the river was once again disrupted, and the mining work was handed over to the Qin soldiers, and the rest of the people all began to send soil to the front line.

With the protection of the shield car, the reclamation continues.

"Don't let the troops wait until tomorrow, prepare me for the siege from now on, and be ready for a full-scale siege at any time!"

"The last general commands!"

After arranging Yang Duanhe, Li Ling decided to go into battle in person!

Soon, Li Ling found a very suitable location and took out a sniper rifle again.

However, at this time, the situation on the battlefield changed again, with the protection of the shield car, the speed of filling the river slowly increased, and the simple bow and arrow shooting could not produce much effect, and the defenders of Yecheng directly began to use catapults and bed crossbows to shoot.

"Niang Xipi, this is what you forced me to do!"

The shield cart is very useful, but it is still so fragile against catapults and bed crossbows.

Ran back to the tent and took out the mortar that had been in the dust for a long time from a box.

Find a suitable place, fix the gun position, set up the mortar, take out the slab, and no matter how many points it costs, directly move out two boxes of shells, adjust the shooting yuan, and directly put one shell into the barrel.

Bang~~

There was a muffled sound, and in a few moments, a huge explosion was heard in the city.

Adjust again, fight again!

Another shot, and this time, the shells fell directly on the walls!

The explosion, like brilliant fireworks, directly took the lives of more than a dozen Zhao soldiers.

Like ploughing the ground, Li Ling would adjust the firing angle every time he fired a cannonball, and on the head of Yecheng City, explosions continued from north to south.

"Attack!"

Yang Duanhe naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity and directly ordered the siege of the city.

However, the attack was not a full-scale attack, but only used large siege equipment, and cooperated with Li Ling to suppress the Zhao army on the city wall.

At the same time, Yang Duanhe also directly invested another division of troops to fill the moat, but this time it was no longer fully filled, but there was a key landfill point every few tens of meters, and he wanted to let the moat have a passable place as soon as possible!

After emptying the two boxes of shells, the soldiers on the Qin army's nest car had been able to suppress the head of Yecheng City enough, and Li Ling was relieved and turned back to the front of Yecheng.

"This is the weapon just now?"

"Well, mortars."

"Awesome, really awesome. Boss, you continue to fight, fight for a while, and then the resistance to the siege will be completely gone. ”

"Hit? Do you think this thing doesn't cost money? I can't even buy a shell if I sell you! ”

Looking at Yang Duanhe's excited and excited appearance, Li Ling had a headache, and two boxes of shells felt painful when he thought about it.

“......”

"It seems that this fire will not be extinguished for a while."

The moat has been burning for a long time, and the fire is still not abating.

"Yes, if this fire is not extinguished, you can only use sand to fill the river, and the flying bridge will not go up at all."

Speaking of the fire in the moat, Yang Duanhe had a headache.

The reason why the flying bridge was not used before the moat was ignited was because it was something that would only be used during the official siege, and to put it bluntly, it was a simple bridge plank, which was directly across the moat when the time came.

But this kind of thing is too fragile, the trebuchet can smash a large hole in one click, and it can only let soldiers through, not large siege equipment, unless it is attacked or the defenders of the city have been completely suppressed, otherwise it is really not a good choice.

"Don't worry about him, this fire will be extinguished sooner or later anyway, you are staring here, once you have a chance, call me immediately, I'll go squint for a while."

"Hmm."

Yang Duanhe didn't know why Li Ling could still go to sleep at this time, and he could still sleep, but it didn't matter, anyway, the moat still had to be filled slowly for a long time.

However, where did Li Ling go to sleep, he wanted to go back to the tent to see how many points he had lost in the wave he had just made......
