Wan Yan Gang should know from the city that Wan Yan Hongxi and Wan Yan Honglie seem to be in harmony, but they are completely playing their own games in military affairs, which gives him an opportunity.

Wan Yangang decided to attack the south gate, and only harassment and surveillance of the other three city gates.

The first day was a tentative siege with little stress, and from the second day onwards the situation was very different.

The southern army erected twenty ladders and slowly advanced until it was fifty paces from the head of the city before stopping its advance. The ladder was filled with archers, firing at the head of the city, and began to suppress the opponent's firepower.

The archers on the head of the city, with their bows and arrows, shot at the enemy like rain.

However, there are wall arrows on one side and ladder baffles on the other. The two sides shot each other several rounds, but the effect was mediocre.

The front of the Southern Army, with shields on their heads, took the opportunity to rush to the moat, and threw the cloth bag in their hands towards the moat.

Negative soil filling the river, a common tactic used by the besieging side!

Ma Tie saw that the posture was not good, so he hurriedly shouted, and ordered the archers facing the ladder to change their flat shots to projectiles, and the other archers released arrows below.

A group of rookies got the order, and then they woke up like a dream, and began to follow the military order and change the way of shooting.

As soon as the shooting method changed, the damage of the southern army on the opposite ladder increased greatly, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, it seemed that there was no power to fight back on the ladder.

But for the army under the city, sharp arrows from the top down, although they can continue to cause damage. But because each person has a shield on their heads, only one of ten arrows can hit, and the part that hits is usually not critical.

Arrows rained down, but there were few of them.

I don't know who suddenly came to his senses, picked up a stone with both hands and threw it down. With a bang, he knocked the people in the city to the ground with their shields.

One person smashed down a stone to make a contribution, and the surrounding warriors began to follow suit.

After a day of fierce fighting, at sunset, Wan Yangang ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Thousands of corpses and shields were scattered under the city, witnessing the fierce battle of the day.

The military judge counted the battle losses and reported them to Wan Yankang, and his own casualties were more than 2,000, and the enemy's battle losses should be about 6,000.

The one-to-three battle damage, Wan Yankang can still accept it, but the moat under the city wall was filled with a distance of nearly 100 zhang by the cloth bag thrown by the southern army, which is the most disadvantageous for the defending side.

On the third day, Wan Yangang used dozens of trebuchets and began to bombard the city.

Under the cover of trebuchets, the southern army began to build a large number of long ladders to attack the city, and at the same time sacrificed the battering ram as a big killing weapon.

When the trebuchet had just thrown the first round of stone projectiles, the middle one was killed instantly, almost scaring the recruits.

As the generals took the lead in hiding behind the arrow stacks, the soldiers also understood and looked around for cover. After ten rounds of bullet rain, the casualties caused seemed to be heavy, but the number of real casualties was not too many.

The danger is that the large forces of the Southern Army have already crossed the moat, put the long ladder up the city wall and began to climb.

The best way to deal with the enemy who climbs the ladder is to fork the long ladder. The enemy on the long ladder fell from a height of two or three feet, of course, either dead or disabled.

But forking the long ladder is easy to say, but difficult to do. The soldiers of the fork ladder are usually taken care of by the enemy, and there are countless people who are killed by arrows.

Although these recruits lack combat experience, after high-intensity training, they are full of blood and bravery, and they will never lose to any army in this world. Coupled with Wan Yankang, the commander, he has been sitting at the head of the city, even if the enemy is like a tide of ants attached to the city, the fighting spirit of the soldiers has not diminished at all.

At the end of the day, at the most dangerous time, three castle heads were attacked by the enemy at the same time. Fortunately, Yan Kang had already made a move, and there were two teams of little Taoist swords in each place to greet him and press the formation in time.

At sunset, Wan Yangang once again called in the gold and withdrew his troops.

According to the statistics of battle losses, the Southern Army suffered 5,000 casualties. The soldiers under the command of Wan Yankang lost nearly 3,000 people.

In Wan Yangang's view, his ability to attack the city is already a precursor to a great victory. Back in the barracks, the people set up a feast, and the generals gathered together, which greatly boosted their morale.

All the generals will come together, and the city will be broken tomorrow!

Wan Yankang organized officers at and above the company level overnight to hold a meeting to sum up the lessons and lessons of the past two days, compile a battlefield manual, and distribute it to the whole army for study.

In addition, Wan Yankang also collected all the bed crossbows in the city and set them up overnight.

On the fourth day, Wan Yangang was still preparing to use trebuchets to open the way, following yesterday's tactics.

But before the trebuchet could start throwing stones, there was a buzzing sound from the city. After an instant, I saw countless terrifying arrows flying from the city wall.

For a time, the army of Wanyan Gang screamed frequently. In particular, the place where the trebuchet was located was taken care of by the bed crossbow, and the people who operated the machine were killed and injured heavily.

Nearly 100 bed crossbows were fired, firing 15 rounds, causing more than 1,000 enemy casualties.

That's it, the bigger blow to the southern army was that most of the trebuchets were destroyed as a result.

After finishing Yan Gangqi's seven orifices, he didn't dare to order his subordinates to die in vain, so he had to prepare to retreat first and then make plans.

Wanyan Hongyan ran to the front and offered advice to Wanyan Gang that the number of bed crossbows and giant arrows in Zhongdu was limited, and most of the reserves in the city had been exhausted, although it was okay to let go of the attack.

After Yan Gang was suspicious, he ordered a small group of troops to step forward to lure the enemy, and after finding that the crossbow was fired, he waved his horse whip and ordered the whole army to attack.

The special arrows for the bed crossbow in the city have indeed been exhausted, but Wan Yangang has forgotten one thing, how many stones he sent to the city yesterday!

When the southern army erected a ladder to go up to the city, the stones fell on the head of the city like rain, and countless southern army ladders were smashed and people died.

After losing the cover of the trebuchet, the southern army fought fiercely for a day, leaving nearly 8,000 corpses under the city, but failed to climb the city even once.

And on this day, the soldiers under Wan Yankang's command lost only a thousand people.

That night, Wanyan Gang's face sank like water, and his army of 100,000 had left nearly 20,000 people under the city.

If you continue to fight like this, how will you get it?

After Yan Kang's usual summary meeting, after the summary, he praised his subordinates.

After several days of high-intensity fighting, this group of recruits was extremely tempered in blood and fire.

Pig iron has been tempered and has become steel!

On the fifth day, Wan Yangang did not order the siege of the city, but only took 20,000 cavalry to swim around Zhongdu.

On the other three city walls, when they saw the enemy, they were very nervous.

The soldiers of the South Gate, having abandoned the fear of war, pointed at the city from time to time, and let out rough laughter, as if they wished for the enemy to attack.

After Yan Gang pondered for a night, he still decided to continue to storm the south gate.

On this day and night, the Southern Army rushed to produce and repair 16 trebuchets and continued the tactics of trebuchets to open the way.

On the wall of the central capital, songs were sung.

"No stones, no bullets, the enemy made it for us!"

Wan Yankang adapted the song of the railway guerrillas and let everyone sing it, but it couldn't be more suitable for use at this time.

The warriors adapted to the attack of the enemy's trebuchet, and no longer feared, but took the opportunity to collect the stones on the city wall and use them to attack the enemy.

Throwing stones from the wall is many times better than the effect of arrows.

On the fifth day, the southern army was able to climb the city several times, and there were only two in total, but it lost 5,000 soldiers.

And the battle loss of 5,000 is only half a day's data.

Because Wan Yangang noticed the low morale at noon, he was afraid that it would be difficult to break the city if he continued to fight, so he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops!

Wan Yankang was also relieved to see that the other party decisively withdrew his troops.

Although the results of the training were wonderful, it was also a great psychological test for these tens of thousands of recruits.

If it weren't for Wan Yankang, the coach, who was always on the front line, and a group of veterans supervising the battle and fighting the fire, the battle situation would have been in danger of collapse.

In the past five days, Wan Yankang slept and ate with the soldiers in the city at night, and never returned to the palace to live for a night. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and after Pegasus returned to the palace, he fell asleep.

When he slept in a hazy state, Wan Yankang suddenly heard a strange noise beside him, he suddenly woke up, and immediately turned over and got up.

Then, a crisp voice came: "Young Master, you are awake." ”

Wan Yankang opened his eyes and saw Tian Xiaowan sitting on the edge of the bed with a concerned expression.

After Yan Kangmei slept beautifully, the little brother was pulling the flag to rebel, and it was rare to see Tian Xiaowan alone by the side, so he pulled her to keep warm.

With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Huang Rong and Li Mochou flashed in at the same time.

Tian Xiaowan was originally a maid, and it was normal for her to stay alone in Wanyankang's room. Huang Rong and Li Mochou, although they are no longer married, they have not held a big ceremony for a day, and they must always pay attention to some influences.

Therefore, after Yan Kang returned home, Tian Xiaowan stayed in the house alone. Huang Rong and Li Mochou were outside admiring the flowers and the moon, and when they heard Tian Xiaowan's voice, the two girls immediately entered the house to show their concern.

Wan Yankang hurriedly let go of Tian Xiaowan's little hand and eagerly greeted Huang Rong and Li Mochou. It's just that he is secretly bitter in his heart, and he can't do anything bad when he thinks about it.

Huang Rong looked at Yan Kang's expression, guessed Ailang's thoughts, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his waist.

After Yan Kang snorted in pain, Huang Rong said with a smile: "Brother Kang, I made some chicken soup and brought it over for you to taste?" ”

Although Huang Rong came to the palace for a few days, because of the urgency of the war, Wan Yankang had not yet enjoyed her craft, and at this time she heard that she had made soup, so she naturally nodded again and again.

Huang Rong flashed to the kitchen, Tian Xiaowan pointed outside, and asked in a low voice, "Young master, she is such a delicate lady, can she eat the things she makes?" ”

Wan Yankang pinched her little face and said with a smile: "You'll know later!" ”

Huang Rong brought a food box and put it on the table, and as soon as she opened it, a fragrance wafted out. She scooped a bowl, handed it to Yan Kang, and looked at it with a smile.

After Yan Kang took the bowl, he immediately drank it with a sigh. He already had a large amount of food, and at this time, his stomach was empty, and he divided it by two, and then swept away the chicken and soup in the bowl.

After he drank a bowl, he was still unsatisfied, so he handed the bowl to Huang Rong.

Huang Rong happily filled another bowl and handed it to Wan Yankang. Wan Yankang was about to drink again, his eyes caught a glimpse of Tian Xiaowan on the side, stretched out his little tongue and licked his lips, and then sent the soup bowl to Tian Xiaowan's mouth: "Xiaowan, you can try it too." ”

Tian Xiaowan raised her eyes to look at Huang Rong, and then at Li Mochou, hesitating.

Wan Yankang picked up the spoon, scooped it up, and sent it to her little mouth.

Tian Xiaowan couldn't help it, so she had to open her mouth and take a sip, and after this sip, she couldn't stop. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, she happily pulled Huang Rong and said, "Sister, how do you make this soup, how can it be so delicious!" ”

As a chef, it's always fun to hear people compliment you on your craft. Huang Rong was also relieved, and began to compare with Tian Xiaowan, what raw materials were used in her pot of soup, how to control the heat, and so on.

The two daughters were communicating happily, but Li Mochou was full of displeasure, how could Tian Xiaowan be bought by a bowl of chicken soup!

After Yan Kang, he spooned another bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Li Mochou's mouth: "Sister Mochou, you can also taste it." ”

Li Mochou arrogantly turned his face to the side, and after Yan Kang coaxed twice, seeing that she still didn't follow, he said, "Then I'll drink it myself!" ”

Li Mochou snorted, and said in his heart, who is rare. But suddenly a pair of big hands held his cheeks, and then a big mouth came over, and crossed over to a mouth full of chicken soup.

Li Mochou subconsciously wanted to fight back, but then he thought that Ailang was still injured, so he had to retract his strength and let this person do it. She was ashamed and annoyed, but there was nothing else she could do, and her body became softer and weaker.

After Yan Kang finished making trouble, he let go of Li Mochou, only to see Huang Rong and Tian Xiaowan looking at him blankly, blushing with shame.

He laughed evilly: "Rong'er, you can taste the soup yourself." ”

After speaking, he took a sip first, and then hugged Huang Rong......
