It seems that they will not come during the day, so continue to let your soldiers rest, I am afraid that from tonight onwards, there will really be a fierce battle. ”

While looking at the earthen platforms piled up on the edge of the city, he calculated the range of the Rong army's bow power in his heart.

He knew that from tonight onwards, the archers of the Rong army would be able to shoot arrows at the top of the city, and that they would be going to pile up these huge dirt slopes even more frantically.

"Lin Xu, you are really amazing."

Zhu Lihua looked at the more than ten huge yellow mounds that suddenly appeared under the city wall outside the city, which were already white, and muttered to himself.

"Zuo Daren, do you want me to send someone out of the city to dig up these mounds?"

Gao Yunce looked at the mound and said anxiously, while Zhu Lihua shook his head and pointed outside the city and said, "It's useless, don't you need to go, didn't you see that they mixed water in the mound?"

This water has frozen into ice, and you can't dig it no matter how much you dig it! Don't waste your energy. ”

After Lu Lihua finished speaking, Gao Yunce and the generals beside him all showed solemn expressions and looked at each other.

In fact, it is not that they did not see the special mounds of soil, but under such tremendous pressure, they could only look for countermeasures after having nothing to do, so as to calm the deep panic in their hearts.

Otherwise, just watching those mounds of earth get higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the city, it will make the hearts of all the generals hang, as if the disaster of breaking the city is just around the corner.

"Otherwise, go get some oil and firewood, and see if you can burn the ice in this mound."

Another voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears, but then someone dismissed his thoughts.

"How much oil and firewood goes to burn such a large mound, and you can see that there are more than a dozen mounds of earth that they want to build.

Not to mention that we don't have that much oil at all, but we can only burn the ice on the surface.

Besides, you are a fool when you are a soldier, will you watch us light a fire and not know how to put out the fire?

And they didn't use anything else to extinguish the fire, just continued to bulldoze, and the fire couldn't be burned at all. ”

When the man had finished speaking, the city fell silent again. This made Zhu Lihua look at it, and suddenly his heart was not good. Because he never wants to see his men lose their fighting spirit because they are helpless.

Immediately, he suddenly laughed with a smile on his face, and then said under the gaze of everyone:

"We defend the city to wait for work, and the enemy army has to risk building a high platform to attack the city, why do we can't tell the difference between strength and weakness as if we have been defeated.

I think Li Junhou's idea is very good, but there is no need for us to boil the water in the dirt slope, but to send people to build oil and wood on both sides of the dirt slope. When they came back in the night, they set it on fire, and then the brothers at the head of the city were more accurate in their arrows. ”

After saying that, Zhu Lihua didn't care what the other people's expressions were, but just looked at the city casually, and then left the city without care.

Before leaving, he deliberately said in a rather relaxed tone: "I'll go sleep for a while, and General Gao will also arrange for everyone to have a good rest, so that everyone is tired at night and can't open the bow, which will be very bad." ”

In the midst of laughter, Lu Lihua once again went down to the city and returned to his mansion.

But on this day, he did not feel the slightest sleep, for his heart was full of uneasiness, and he was not at all as relaxed as what he had spoken during the day when he was in the city.

In his opinion, Lin Xu's move can be described as wonderful, and with the current cold and freezing, it is conceivable that the soil slope built by the Narong army will be very strong.

So even though they would have paid for it with countless lives, building a dirt slope would not only be a one-size-fits-all task but would also be extremely difficult for the defenders to deal with than a forced siege.

As he expected, on this day and night, the sound of killing at the head of the city and under the city shook the sky, and the dark sky was full of stray arrows and flying locusts.

It seems that Lin Xu also knew that there would be a bow and arrow attack between the two armies tonight, so he didn't know how many archers he mobilized to the city, and it didn't take much time to suppress the Qin soldiers on the city.

However, compared to the open terrain under the city, how many soldiers can be accommodated by the narrow walls.

But it was late at night, otherwise Lihua could have sent cavalry out of the city to attack the archers of the Rong army under the city, but how could he dare to make such an unwise move when he couldn't see his fingers.

Not to mention that horse traps and dense trenches were dug everywhere outside the city, and countless thistles were sprinkled, so that the cavalry could not charge in the dark at all, and even if they could really charge, then the Rong army would not have a corresponding countermeasure?

This was quickly confirmed by the facts, when Gao Yunce personally ordered a song of soldiers and horses to kill out of the city, sure enough, he saw that countless Rong troops in the dark immediately shot arrows at the city gate, so that the song of soldiers and horses was suppressed again before they could leave the city.

And not only that, when the archers of the Rong army completely suppressed the head of the Qin army, their archers actually got closer and closer to the city wall, shooting countless rockets into the city.

Although the houses near the city wall had been demolished long ago, the rolling wood and stones and fire oil that had been placed under the city and were ready to be transported to the city head at any time were damaged.

All of a sudden, the city was full of fires, and the people led by Liu Jaw stepped forward one after another to extinguish the fire.

But in this way, the arrows of the Rong army are no longer without damage, so Zhu Lihua can clearly see that when those people are scattered in the firelight, they will suddenly be shot to the ground by the arrows falling from the sky.

This made Lu Lihua clench his fists, and he hurriedly ordered Gao Yunce to send foot soldiers to the top of the city, covering the archers with shields to shoot, and at the same time, he transferred 3,000 archers from other city gates, asking Gao Yunce to lead them to suppress the city at all costs.

Gao Yunce saw that Lihua's eyes were red and he gave a death order, and he immediately raised his shield himself and climbed to the top of the city, standing next to the female wall to cover the archers behind him.

The archers who had been hiding behind the walls at the head of the city and did not dare to probe saw that the officials were high and high, and the Yunstrategists had no fear of death, and they stood on the edge of the city wall with their shields raised to protect themselves, and for a while, they also seemed to be no longer afraid of death, and they stood up one after another and shot arrows at the clear targets under the city that were holding rockets without fear.

In addition, a steady stream of archers climbed to the top of the city and joined the team to harvest lives, which made the soldiers under the city who discovered the abnormality of the Qin army hurriedly extinguish the flames on the arrows in their hands and retreated one after another.

At the head of the city, one shield soldier and archer after another fell to the ground, but before long new shieldmen and archers would fill the gap.

Gradually, under the continuous blending and condensation of courage and blood, the Qin army, which burst out with endless strength, once again gained the upper hand.

After all, the Rong army under the city does not have the city wall as a cover, and the physical strength required to shoot arrows from the bottom up is greater, and it is more difficult to shoot the Qin army on the head of the city.

Therefore, when the hit rate between the two armies that bravely shot each other suddenly became one-sided, the archers of the Rong army, who could feel that death was approaching, subconsciously retreated again.

In this way, the foot soldiers who struggled to build the dirt slope were completely defeated.

I saw that on the dirt slope, whether it was the people who rushed up with the dirt bags, or the soldiers who had already fallen and were running back with the bags, a large number of them fell only the moment the archers left.

Taking advantage of the faint glow of the burning oil and firewood in the night, the Qin soldiers at the head of the city could clearly see that the blood from the corpses lying on the dirt slope had stained the earth red in less than a quarter of an hour.

In the gusts of cold wind, the blood froze on the loess, and became one with the slope that had been built up to the edge of the city wall.

"Woo woo woo"

Finally, the horn of the retreating Rong army sounded in the dark west, and the Qin army at the head of the city only heard the chaotic footsteps under the city getting farther and farther away, and knew that their enemy had finally retreated.

At the head of the city, the soldiers covered in blood looked at their commander with incredible expressions, and their commander immediately turned around and ran down the city to report this almost miraculous victory to Lihua.

When the fierce battle was in full swing, when arrows flew past the ears of Gao Yunce, who was standing at the edge of the city holding a shield, Gao Yunce's mind was blank.

He knew that the arrows that were flying in the sky might poke into his cheeks, his forehead, his eyes, and his mouth at any moment, so fear was a useless emotion, and it was better to wait for death to come.

But fortunately, until the Rong army retreated, Gao Yunce found that he was standing on the edge of the city wall unscathed, except for one of his own ears that had been shot through.

The rest of the robes were apparently not as fortunate as he was, and as he ran down the city, he found that his feet were full of the corpses of his brothers, most of them facing the sky, with more than one arrow stuck in their bodies.

"I know everything, brother Gao is hard. Please also arrange for the soldiers to move the bodies of the dead and wounded brothers down quickly, and General An's soldiers will take over the defense of the city in a while, so you should go and rest for a while. ”

Before he could reach Gao Yunce, who was smiling in front of him, he hurriedly took Gao Yunce's hand and said solemnly.

And Gao Yunce also knew Zhu Lihua's intentions, and he knelt on one knee under the emotion, and Zheng Sheng responded.

Liang Qingshu, Xi Zihui, Mao Biao and other generals behind Li Hua looked at the appearance of the two, and their eyes were full of deep admiration and emotion.

The clouds of the week were overcast, and the heavy snow could not stop the light of the rising sun in the east. When the sky was getting brighter, Gao Yunce's soldiers retreated from the city one after another, they supported each other, bowed their heads and walked slowly towards the seemingly peaceful place in the center of the city.

But when they crossed paths with An Moran's men and horses who had come to meet them from the north gate, they proudly strode proudly towards the camp they were about to arrive in front of them in a pair of respectful eyes.
