"The 1st Squadron of Catapults is ready."

"Catapult Squadron 2 is ready."

“……”

On the command platform of the Yan army's camp, Changguo Junle waved his hand and ordered:

"Catapults strike in order, don't stop me."

The order to launch an attack, along with the command flag, reached the catapult formation.

The majors, who were standing next to the catapult formation, held the pennant high in their right hands, waved it down sharply, and shouted, "Let go." ”

Dozens of stones rose into the air, making a "whine" sound, and flew towards the head of Jimo City.

Because I know that the boulder weighing three or four hundred catties cannot damage the walls of Jimo City. This time, according to the order of the main general Lejian, the stone-throwing camp all changed to dozens of pounds of stones and launched an attack on Jimo City.

This has undoubtedly greatly increased the frequency of catapult launches.

The purpose is to suppress the defenders of Qi at the head of the city of Modu and the threat to the Yan army below.

Under the fierce blows of the Yan army's catapults, the Qi army at the head of the city let out screams from time to time that people were being smashed.

The defensive passage from the Yan army's military formation to the Jimo moat has been built.

At the entrance to the side of the Yan army defending the aisle, countless wheelbarrows carried sand and gravel filled with sacks.

On the command platform, Lema put down the binoculars and ordered: "Fill the river." ”

Countless wheelbarrows, along the defensive aisles, headed for the moat.

On the other side of the defensive passageway, powerful soldiers carried sacks and threw them into the moat.

These soldiers who fill the river must also be constantly rotated.

The defenders of the Qi State at the head of the city also issued an attack order against the Yan army that filled the river: "Release." ”

Countless arrows also formed a dark cloud, rushing towards the Yan army that came out of the defensive corridor.

The arrow hit the armor of the Yan army, making a "clanging" sound.

Some Yan soldiers were unfortunately shot or hit by arrows and stones fired from the city. Immediately, someone rushed out of the defensive aisle and dragged the dead or wounded Yan soldiers back to the defensive aisle. Then, Yan Jun did not hesitate and dragged the sack to fill it.

The arrows shot at the defensive aisle were covered with thick straw mixed with mud, and only made a "poof" sound, so there was no movement, and it had no effect on the Yan army in the defensive aisle.

This is already the third day of the Yan army's river reclamation.

Looking at the top of the city, the three passages filled by the Yan army were almost on the other side of the moat.

Jimo doctor Tian Lie looked at the reclamation of the Yan army under the city, and his face was very ugly.

asked his adjutant general: "The Yan army is still filling the river with human lives?" ”

"Yes, General. Now the Yan army uses the wooden frame aisle below, and the casualties are not serious. These wooden aisles are simple and practical, and our army has nothing to do with them. ”

The deputy general bowed to Tian Lie at the head of the city and replied.

"Rockets can't do it either?"

"General, no. Because of the straw above the wooden frame, mixed with thick sediment, the rocket could not burn at all. ”

"Can you send troops out of the city and destroy these wooden frames?" Tian Lie asked again.

"General, look at the Yan army on the other side, very vigilant. Our army went out of the city, and the gains outweighed the losses. Looking at the appearance of the Yan army, he hoped that our army would go out of the city to fight with it. Besides, these wooden frames are simple to make, and when they are destroyed, they will be erected again very quickly. ”

The adjutant general's words were very thorough, that is, when the Qi army went out of the city, the Qi army must have suffered heavy casualties.

It is to demolish these wooden aisles, because the structure is too simple, and Yan Jun will soon start again.

Tian Lie's face became more and more difficult to look at, but he was not afraid in his heart.

You just fill in the moat, and if you want to attack the walls of my Modu, you will also take hundreds of thousands of lives!

"It seems that today, the Yan army is going to fill in the moat. Ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to go to the city at any time to block the Yan army from attacking the city. ”

"No."

On the command platform of the Yan army, almost all the generals of the Yan army were holding binoculars and looking at the Yan army in front of them, entering and exiting from the defensive aisle, blocking the moat.

"It seems that the effect of defending the aisle is very good. The officers who came out of the Xiangping Command Academy are simply geniuses, and this simple and practical method can be thought of. ”

The main general Rakuma excitedly looked at the deputy general Bo Wang.

Bo Wang was also happy, and Yu Rongyan.

Because among the officers in the staff who made this suggestion, including his son Bo Tao!

Near noon, the Yan army in front was jubilant, and the moat in front of Mocheng was filled.

The main general of the Yan army, Le Jian, stood up at once on the command platform.

He pointed to the Jimo city wall in front of him and said, "Pass my order." Catapults and crossbowmen can cover the city, and the army can attack the city, and the soldiers who dig the city wall are ordered to quickly dig under the city while our army is attacking the city. Firearms battalion ready, bomb the city for me. ”

The firearms battalion in Lejian's mouth is the combined name of the Yan Army's hand fire mines and the soldiers who use explosives packs.

As soon as the order was issued, all the phalanxes of the Yan army began to move.

The catapult in front of him was even more frantically firing stone projectiles at the head of Jimo City.

And the crossbowmen of the Yan army also quickly crossed the moat and began to shoot at the Qi army at the head of the city.

The arrows of both sides, densely packed, intertwined in the air and shot at each other.

Along the filled aisle, the front army of the Yan army attacking the city had already carried the ladder and the wooden plank, and rushed towards Jimo City.

The defenders of Jimo City knew that the most difficult time had come.

But all the soldiers of the Qi army did not panic.

Including Jimo Doctor Tian Lie, as well as many Qi army generals. None of them thought that the Yan army would be able to break through Modu City today, and no one thought of it!

At the head of Modu City, many generals of the Qi army also kept conveying battle orders.

"Shoot the arrows, give me the arrows."

"Roll the wood and get ready, ready to go."

"Push the rod, push the enemy ladder off for me."

"Stones, smash them with stones, and you must not let Yan Jun come up."

“……”

Jimo Doctor Tian Lie, while commanding the Qi army to fight, also paid close attention to other movements of the Yan army.

At this time, Tian Lie suddenly found that from the defensive corridor of the Yan army, many Yan soldiers wearing armor but holding many tools such as steel shovels and steel drills came out.

Tian Lie's face turned pale, and he said to the deputy general beside him, "What does Yan Jun want to do?" ”

The adjutant general was also a little puzzled, and said to Tian Lie:

"General, Yan Jun is trying to throw my city foundation or dig a tunnel. This...... Is this possible? ”

Tian Lie suddenly understood, it turned out that Yan Jun was also helpless, and he actually came up with this stupid method.

Tian Lie laughed: "The Yan Army's main general, Lejian, is simply whimsical, he would actually think of a way to throw my city foundation or dig a tunnel. Just let them dig non-stop, give them a year, can they leave me Jimo Chengji? ”

However, in the blink of an eye, Tian Lie said to the deputy general: "We can't be careless. Order the soldiers and civilians in the city to dig a few big pits and put a few water urns under the city wall to listen to the movements of the Yan army and prevent them from digging through the foundation of the wall. ”

"No." The lieutenant bowed to the order.

Immediately sent the order down, and carried out Tian Lie's order.

The battle above and below the city was extremely fierce, with blood splattered and dead and wounded all over the ground.

The commander of the Yan army, Le Jian, paid close attention to the battle ahead, holding a telescope and observing the movement in front of him.

And the scouts also ran back and forth, conveying the orders of the commander and the movements of the two armies in front.

"General Qiyu, our army has dug a huge pit."

"Newspaper. General, our firearms battalion has sent explosives packets to the pit. ”

"General Qiyu, our firearms battalion has reported that the explosives package has been buried."

"Report, General, our fuse can already be lit from the rear."

“……”

Lema slapped his hand and said to the herald beside him: "Order my siege army, including the catapult array and crossbowmen, to withdraw immediately and retreat to the rear of our army." Order our army to prepare for the invasion of Medu. ”

Turning around, he said to the deputy general Bo Wang: "The end of Modu City is coming, this Tian Lie doesn't know what he is thinking now?" ”

Bo Wang sighed lightly and said to Le Jian: "General, Modu City is indeed difficult to break, and this Tian Lie is indeed good. It's just that he doesn't know that our army has explosives bags and such a sharp weapon for siege! ”

Lejian nodded and said to Bo Wang:

"What General Bo said is true, and it is true. If our army did not have such siege weapons as hand fire mines and even explosive packs, our army would really be ...... now If my father did back then, there would be no way to take this city of Modu. ”

Tian Lie, who was at the head of Jimo City, couldn't help but laugh when he watched the Yan army retreat like a tide.

said to the adjutant general and even the soldiers of the Qi army beside him:

"What else can the Yan army do except come to send them to death? My army is mighty! I'm all victorious! ”

The adjutant general and even the soldiers beside Tian Lie raised the weapons in their hands together, and the main general Tian Lie shouted loudly:

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Yan Jun listened to the head of Jimo City, and the cheers of the Qi army were heard;

After looking at it again, the Yan army that was besieging the city just now had already returned to the rear of the Yan army's army formation with their own military robes that had been killed or wounded in battle. The catapults and crossbowmen also withdrew at this moment.

Lejian no longer hesitated, pointed to Modu City and ordered:

"Plug the ears of the whole army; Order, light it for me, guide - fire - rope. ”

"The general has an order, and the soldiers of the whole army cover their ears."

"The general has an order, light the fire."

"Ignition."

Several fuses of hundreds of meters were ignited at the same time with the order of the music room.

The soldiers of the Yan army all covered their ears and widened their eyes.

Look at these ropes with a "whoosh, whoosh" sound, burning forward.

Tian Lie, the Jimo doctor in Modu City, suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, but he didn't know what the reason was?

"Boom" A loud sound that shook the earth was finally issued in this land of the Central Plains.

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the city wall of Jimo City, the eastern capital of Qi Kingdom, collapsed in the sand and dust in the sky, revealing a huge gap nearly twenty meters wide.

Jimo City, this city that has blocked the Yan general Le Yi for seven years.

This time, it was no longer possible to stop the Yan army from attacking the city.
