Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the Yan army launched more catapults and began to attack the Jimo city wall.

This time, the blow of the Yan army's catapult was obviously more violent than in the previous ten days.

Tian Lie, who was in the doctor's official residence in the city of Modu, was also alarmed by the movements of the Yan army outside the city.

Tian Lie also clearly felt that the Yan Army's blow to Jimo City today was obviously different from usual.

I can only hear the Yan army outside the city, the horns are in the sky, and the war drums are shaking the sky.

Sure enough, after a while, a school captain rushed into the house, knelt on one knee and reported to Shioda Lieyu:

"Newspaper. General Qiyu, the Yan army approached the moat early this morning. And the Yan army's catapults are more than double the number of days before, at least 100 units. ”

"Now the catapults of the Yan army are bombarding our city wall, and all my Mo generals have been mobilized on the city wall. It seems that this time the Yan army is preparing to attack our Modu on a large scale, please ask the general to decide. ”

Tian Lie couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart: "What? So many catapults? ”

There is no way to take Jimo City with dozens of catapults, but it is really hard to say how many catapults there are.

Tian Lie shouted loudly to the left and right: "Someone, give me armor, I will go to the city in person." ”

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Mobilize the residents of the city and prepare to repair the city wall." ”

What Jimo Doctor Tian Lie didn't know was that there were more than 100 catapults, which were the normal equipment of the three armies of the Yan Army.

Attack other cities, because the city walls are all rammed earth plates, there is no such difficult to smash as Jimo City.

As long as the Yan army dispatched dozens of catapults, it could effortlessly collapse the city wall.

But this time in the face of Jimo City, dozens of catapults did not work at all. Only then did the Yan army be ruthless, and assembled all the catapults of the three armies, preparing to strike at Jimo City.

The catapult of Yan Kingdom is complex in workmanship, and the craftsmanship is very advanced compared to this era. And for the sake of secrecy, the components of these catapults are all produced in Liaodi, the rear of the Yan Kingdom.

After a while, Tian Lie, who was wearing armor and helmet, walked out of the official residence.

There were already guards at the door of the doctor's residence, waiting with Tian Lie's war horse.

Tian Lie got on his horse and led hundreds of guards towards the city wall north of Jimo City.

Before they reached the city wall, they heard the sound of catapults bombarding the city wall.

The voice of "Peng, Peng" is endless.

Tian Lie's face was solemn, and after arriving at the city wall, under the protection of his own guards, he hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.

It was found that the Qi army on the city wall was hiding behind the battlements built with huge stones at the head of the city.

At this time, the Yan army's catapult launched another wave of boulders.

The boulder smashed on the city wall, making Tian Lie feel that the entire city wall trembled slightly, but it was fine.

Tian Lie was relieved and couldn't help but put his mind at ease.

"General, the city is more dangerous, and the general should pay attention to dodging the stones fired by the Yan army."

A general of the Qi army who was defending the city saw Tian Lie coming up, and came over to remind Tian Lie.

Tian Lie nodded to the general, came to the battlement in front of the city, and looked out of the city.

I saw that on the north side of the moat, the tall catapults of the Yan army were lined up in several rows, firing huge stones towards Jimo City.

The general who defended the city asked, "Have they been smashing my walls with boulders early in the morning?" ”

"Yes, General. Early in the morning, the Yan army pushed numerous catapults to the moat and fired huge stones at our city wall. ”

The general defending the city hurriedly replied to Tian Lie.

There was originally a distance between the walls of Jimo City and the moat, and the wide moat blocked the catapults of Yan Kingdom to the north of the moat. Coupled with the topography of Jimo City, the Yan army's attack on the city wall was to attack from the back.

As a result, the boulders fired from the catapult smashed on the city walls. The impact on Jimo City is there, but the problem is not big, and the power is much smaller.

At this time, Tian Lie's deputy general and several generals defending the city all came to Tian Lie's side.

As soon as the adjutant general saw Tian Lie, he said, "General, why are you here?" The head of the city is too dangerous. ”

"I learned in the official residence that Yan Jun had added catapults, so I came up to take a look, so you don't have to worry."

Tian Lie saw that all the generals were in good spirits, and said with great satisfaction.

Tian Lie looked at the catapults of the Yan army under the city for a while, looked at the many catapults, and constantly sent out boulders to Jimo City.

Turning his head, he smiled at the deputy general and the generals of the Qi army and said, "I don't know what this music room thinks?" Do you think that adding catapults will be able to break through my Jimo city wall? Compared to his father Le Yilai, this music room is even more foolish. ”

Tian Lie's lieutenant general and the generals of the Qi army who were defending the city all laughed when they heard their main general say this.

A general defending the city said to Tian Lie: "General, don't worry! According to the Yan army's approach, no matter how many catapults they have, they won't be able to cause much damage to our city wall. Besides, we will also organize the people to actively build. ”

There was also a general defending the city who said to Tian Lie: "General, we are under Jimo City, let's spend a few more years against the Yan army!" ”

Tian Lie, his lieutenant generals and other generals all laughed when they heard this.

For Yan Jun's catapult, Tian Lie was still a little jealous. But after watching it for a while, I knew that Yan Jun wanted to smash the walls of Jimo City with catapults, which was a pipe dream.

Seeing that there was no big problem, Tian Lie instructed everyone a few words, and went down to the city to go back to the official residence.

Along the way, I saw the people on the streets of Jimo City, although there were many fewer people than in the past, but there was no panic.

Seeing this, Tian Lie was even more satisfied.

What Tian Lie didn't know was that when he climbed to the top of the city to inspect the Yan army.

Le Jian, the coach of the Yan Army, also saw him with a telescope on the opposite side.

Tian Lie's interaction with the guards of the Qi army at the head of Jimo City could be seen clearly in the music room.

Bo Wang, the deputy general of the Yan army, also saw what happened in Jimo City very clearly.

put down the binoculars, stepped forward and said to Le Jian: "General, the general of the Qi army who went to the head of Jimo City just now, when he looks at what he is wearing, it is estimated that he is Tian Lie, the doctor of Jimo?" Looks like he's relaxed! ”

After listening to Bo Wang's words, the Yan army commander Le Jian's brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed.

Lejian turned around and said to the deputy general Bo Wang:

"General Bo, of course this Tian Lie is relaxed! With so many catapults in our army, taken together, it still seems that they still do not pose any threat to the walls of Jimo City. He thought that the Qi army would be able to confront our army under Jimo City for a few years, just like my father had done at the beginning. ”

Bo Wang shook his head and said to Le Jian: "General, this is the defense of Jimo City, to the point where everyone is angry. More than 100 catapults, together in battle, could not shake the city wall of Jimo City in the slightest. ”

"Before, I didn't believe that this would be the case. But now it seems that it is really inexplicably amazing! When this city is in the hands of my Yan Kingdom, it will definitely play a greater role than it is now. ”

Lejian laughed: "A few days ago, our army either made a feint attack or used a catapult to attack Jimo. This Tian Lie saw that my Yan Army couldn't shake Jimo City, so he must be very proud. Where does he know? This is nothing but a ploy by our army. ”

"Now that our army is attacking the city, it is naturally best to be able to use catapults to smash the city walls. But if you can't smash it, it's okay. Where could he Tian Lie think of it? We can't smash it, but we can blast it open! ”

On the day that the Yan army came to Jimo City, after experimenting, it was known that the catapult alone could not hit the Jimo City Wall.

After discussing with the two generals, the main general Lejian and the deputy general Bo Wang, they decided to use Yanguo's new weapon, the explosive bag.

A few days ago, the Yan army launched a feint and also used catapults to strike at Modu. In fact, secretly under the Jimo city wall, looking for a suitable place to place explosives bags can be arranged, ready to blow up the city wall.

Now, the place has been found.

But the current difficulty is how to lead the so-called fuse from the moat.

There is no other way but to fill the river.

Le Ma and Bo Wang have already talked about this problem at this time.

"General, if our army starts to fill the river, it will inevitably be within the strike range of the Qi army in Jimo City. I don't know if the wooden frame used in the defense corridor built by our army in the logistics workshop of our army has been rushed out? ”

Bo Wang said to Lejian.

The defensive aisle that Bo Wang mentioned is actually very simple, that is, it is made of wood to build a passageway, build wooden planks on it, and then pave straw and sand, and people run back and forth in the aisle.

As the name suggests, this defensive corridor is a defense against arrows shot from the top of the castle, as well as falling stones and rolling logs.

Otherwise, the Yan army would have suffered heavy casualties in actions such as filling up rivers and stacking explosive bags.

Before he could reply, a herald came on horseback.

Coming to the two of them, the herald dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "General Qiyu, our army's logistics workshop has rushed out the wooden frame used to defend the aisle, and now we ask the army to cooperate and lay it." ”

Le Ma and Bo Wang looked at each other, and they could see joy in each other's eyes.

The main general, Rakuma, immediately ordered: "Order the whole army of our army to cooperate and lay it for me immediately." Another order was sent to send a division, no, two divisions from the hilly area next to it, to bring me sand and gravel. ”

"Today you must lay the defensive timber to the moat, and tomorrow we will start filling the moat with sand and gravel, and at least three aisles will be laid for me, just in case."

Then he turned around, looked at Jimo City in front of him, and said to himself viciously:

"Ben will see you tomorrow, can it be so easy?"
