This time the city tower collapsed, although the main body of the city tower was submerged in the water, but it was blocked, and it became a bubble to want to rush into the city by flooding, especially the corner of the city tower The eaves are still erected on the water surface, which hinders the approach of rafts and boats, and the speed is greatly affected.

The head guard of Bianliang City was Kang Huaizhen, who secretly called luck when he saw this situation, and hurriedly organized crossbowmen to put arrows on the raft from the left and right of the broken wall to prevent them from approaching.

Kang Huaizhen stood at the head of the city, while commanding the dispatch, while holding a big bow, personally to the enemy shè arrows, his archery skills are like gods, shè no false hair, the bowstring sounds, there will be a Hedong army in the arrow fell down or plunged into the turbid flood.

Li Cunxiao stood on the swaying raft, there was no root under his feet, his usual bravery could not even play six points, and the sledgehammer in his hand was useless, so he pulled out his sword and dialed the arrow rain at the head of the city, and was accidentally hit by Kang Huaizhen, and several personal soldiers beside him were already pierced through the chest by Kang Huaizhen's magic arrow, and fell to the ground.

Li Cunxiao gritted his teeth with hatred and shouted: "Release the arrows and take the city for Ben General." ”

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, each with countless casualties, and when the battle was in full swing, a large straw bale was actually launched in the city, which actually filled the loophole caused by the collapse of the south city gate. The firewood and grass were soaked in water and could not be ignited. Wet and sinking, but still maintain the softness of the firewood and grass, not afraid of the giant rush shè, and such a big haystack, you can't climb even if you get close, with this haystack blocked, the hope of wanting to enter the city by the city wall is even more slim.

Li Keyong watched from a distance, and saw that the soldiers of the Hedong Army were exposed to the rain of arrows at the head of the city and fell into the water like dumplings, and he wanted to personally put on armor and kill on the battlefield as he did back then, but ...... He is now the king of Jin, and it has become an eternal dream to go to the battlefield in person. What's more, if he goes to the battlefield in person, can he succeed in one battle? I don't know which defender in the city is in command, but he is not chaotic, and the conditions that are unfavorable to the defenders are transformed into conditions that are easier to defend the city.

"Order, Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Lick gritted his teeth and gave the order to withdraw his troops.

The three battles were defeated, leaving countless dead bodies, and the Hedong Army Mingjin withdrew its troops.

The sky has darkened, the flow of the flood has slowed down, the dead wood and fallen leaves in the turbid water are rolling up and down, and in the distance, there are many corpses of soldiers floating in the water. In the midst of the ocean, Bianliang City seemed like a huge fortress floating on the water, and no one knew if it would survive the flood retreat, but at least for now, at least tonight, it was still standing there.

At this time, if there are a few dark clouds and a drizzle in the sky, the whole world can become cool immediately, but there is obviously an ocean in front of them, and this artificially created flood cannot slightly reduce the heat of the weather, which is the difference between Tianwei and manpower.

Looking at the city in the distance that suddenly seemed unfamiliar, Duan Mingyu sighed softly: "Now we are not afraid of the Xuanwu Army attacking the camp, but it seems to be more difficult to capture the next city, and I don't know if the other generals can come up with a way to do it." ”

Fang Wenchong pointed to the city in the distance and said: "Although the city wall is made of loess, it is stronger than bricks and stones, and the city wall is extremely thick. ”

Duan Mingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the weather is extremely hot, since the water can't be washed away, what if the water is blocked again?" Do you remember that the ground that has been drenched by the rain has to roll up a layer of skin when it is sunburned on the head. If the flooded city wall is exposed to the scorching sun, it will inevitably crack, and perhaps at that time, if you reach out and push it gently, the city wall will collapse. ”

Fang Wenchong said "Huh": "This method seems to be good, maybe it is really feasible." ”

"What are you talking about?" A heavy voice suddenly came from behind them, and when the three of them looked back, it was Li Cunxiao.

Where did Li Cunxiao dare to fight with Duan Mingyu, if Li Keyong knew, then he would not be able to beat him to death, he arched his hand, walked over and sat on the ground, looked at the city in the distance with his eyebrows twisted, and said casually: "A few people don't need to say much, my father sent me to ask about the next battle plan." ”

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Duan, what method did you just say, soaked and dried?" ”

Duan Mingyu said his thoughts again. Li Cunxiao laughed and said: "It's easy to say, do you know that the yellow rammed soil was soaked with glutinous rice juice when the city was first built, and the city wall is very strong?" Do you know how thick the walls are? It is four feet long, how can it be compared with a layer of land? According to your method, the water must be soaked for at least ten days before the water vapor can penetrate the city wall, and then the gap will be plugged with three or five rì efforts, and then the five or seven or eight rì will be dried after the flood is discharged, and the city wall may be cracked...... It's going to be about a month. ”

Duan Mingyu said: "Brother Li, we have attacked the city for a month, killed and injured countless brothers, but we have not advanced an inch, and now it only takes a month to easily take this city, can't we wait?" ”

Li Cunxiao shook his head and sighed lightly: "Yes, we really can't wait." ”

He stood up and took a few steps forward, stood on the cliff and looked at the lonely city of Shuize, and then slowly turned his gaze to the north, pointed there, and said: "At most, in half a month, we must return to Shihedong, we are invited by His Majesty to quell the chaos, and now attacking Zhu Wen is already overstepping his authority, and now he is ordered by the Seventh Prince to attack Bianliang, but the old thief Tian Lingzi is not very good at dealing with the Seventh Prince, and now in Chang'an, he has slandered His Majesty, saying that we will stay and not leave, I am afraid that there will be rebellion." ”

nǎinǎi, we are here to fight to the death, you are a dead eunuch, if you don't pull your hind legs, Duan Mingyu is depressed, is it possible that he has fallen short like this?

Siege has always been the side defending the city to occupy the geographical advantage, and the side besieging the city has paid a relatively large sacrifice. However, although the defending side occupies a local advantage, but has formed a siege situation, it means that the besieging side has mastered the initiative on the battlefield, and the battle or not is in the hands of the besieging side, and the entire battlefield situation is inclined to the besieging side, therefore, unless the grain and grass are unsustainable, or the defending side has a relatively strong reinforcement to come, otherwise the indestructible city will be breached sooner or later.

Duan Mingyu was very upset in his heart, this Bianliang City was about to be taken, and now because the Hedong Army was about to return to the division, it was foreseeable that within ten years, if the war was not pacified, it would fall short.
