"General, look! The enemy is moving! Yuwen Chengji, who had long been paying attention to Yang Jun's camp's every move, had already discovered it as soon as Yang Jun's army set out.

"Have all the equipment for defending the city been delivered?" Yuwen Seungji knew that this battle would eventually start.

"Hey, where is that cavalry going? You can't use cavalry to siege the city? Seeing a strange army detached from Yang Jun's army and drove towards the back, Yuwen Chengji was a little puzzled.

"It's not good, hurry up and find a place to hide!" Yuwen Seungji suddenly saw that more than a dozen giant catapults were pushed out. For this kind of siege weapon, you can only be in a hurry.

"Adjust the angle, don't waste every stone, and don't let him hit your own head!" When the catapult was pushed to the predetermined location, Qin Shubao ordered to adjust the angle of the catapult, there was a smooth road around Jiangdu, it was really not easy to find a few stones, and it was necessary to ensure that Zhang Xutuo's earth-heaping troops were not injured by mistake, which was not easy, it all depended on the experience of the soldiers.

After the catapult was ready, the rumbling sound began to come, and the smoke and dust covering the sky rose to the ground, and Zhang Xutuo's excavation troops had returned.

"All of them are there, the target Jiangdu City, the first wave, launch!" Qin Qiong planned to launch the first wave of strikes before Zhang Xutuo's troops arrived at the city, and first suppress the defenders in the city, which would greatly facilitate the cavalry to pile up soil.

The whistling stones smashed towards the north wall of Jiangdu with devastating power, although there were only a dozen at a time, but that was enough, what was needed was not how much to kill, but the shock effect.

After the first wave of stones fell on the city walls, the cavalry mounds had already begun to pile up. Zhang Xutuo divided the troops of more than 20,000 people into four groups, and every 5,000 people piled the soil, so that the soil could be piled up continuously, and it would not be too chaotic, otherwise how chaotic it would be for tens of thousands of horsemen to be crowded together at one time, and Yang Jian also sent tens of thousands of foot soldiers to dig the earth, and the cavalry could walk as long as they took the soil, so that the efficiency was geometrically rising.

"Archers! Fast! Stop the enemy! Yuwen Chengji waited for a while and saw that there were no stones falling down again and poked his head out to see, only to see that the cavalry under the city was constantly pouring dirt, he suddenly woke up after a while, and realized the seriousness of the situation, if he didn't stop it, according to this posture, it wouldn't take many days for the soil to be piled up to the same height as the city wall.

"The enemy has already appeared, aim for me and fight again!" Qin Qiong saw that the defenders on the city wall began to rise, and immediately ordered the trebuchet to continue to attack, although he could keep suppressing the defenders and not letting them raise their heads, but the damage was limited after all, and the storage of stones was not allowed, so he deliberately stopped after only releasing a wave of attacks, in order to achieve precise strikes and killing effects.

"Don't panic, the enemy army doesn't have many trebuchets, the damage is limited, leave it alone, and concentrate on attacking the cavalry under the city!" Yuwen Chengji saw the weakness of the insufficient number of trebuchets, although the strength was terrifying, but the harm was far less than that of the cavalry under the city, so he didn't care about the casualties caused by the trebuchets to his side, and said that he would clean up those cavalry first.

"Quick! Drop it and get out! You can get away from the city! Zhang Xutuo saw that the firepower of the defenders was still very fierce under the pressure of the trebuchet pouring towards his cavalry troops, although the casualties in the battle were inevitable, but every additional cavalry would make him feel heartache, so he had to urge the cavalry to move quickly, and the Jiangdu City was higher, and a relatively gentle slope must be piled up to give the siege troops greater convenience, so there was no need to rush to the city every time and advance little by little.

"Sure enough, if there are tens of thousands, no, there are fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, then you can attack with several gates, and you can't say that Yu Wenhua will be restless and want to come out for a decisive battle as soon as possible! I finally know why the Mongolian iron cavalry can cross the Eurasian continent, it seems that not only are they fierce, but they are not immediately able to work hard, but also the method is used properly! Yang Xuan looked at the shocking scene of the siege in front of him, and inevitably sighed in his heart, it is better to be famous than to meet, although Zhang Xutuo's cavalry is only the first time to siege the city, it is definitely not as powerful as the Mongolian iron cavalry, but this is enough, at least hundreds of years in advance, it is still an insoluble siege method for the time being.

"No! Sooner or later, this dirt will come up! Yuwen Chengji watched the soil slope in front of him increase little by little, and he was very anxious.

"How many cavalry are there in the city?!" Yuwen Chengji asked Sima Deji.

"There are not many cavalry in the army, Luo Yi stayed in Zhuojun to ask for a part, when Yang Xuangan's rebellion was suppressed, Bao Guogong took most of it, but after Bao Guogong drove the crane, these cavalry were divided between Lai Hu'er and Yang Yichen and Tu Qu Tong, and a few days ago, Lai Hu'er rebelled and his troops suffered heavy losses, so the cavalry in the city will not exceed five thousand, and some of them are wounded who failed to participate in the war." Sima Deji said a series of things to show that Yuwen Chengji's plan to suppress the cavalry with cavalry was not feasible.

"Go and get all the cavalry for me, and try no matter what, you can't just wait to die! All the wounded and wounded handed over their horses, and chose men to take them, and made up the number of five thousand! Go out of the city with Ben to kill the enemy! "Yuwen Chengji doesn't give up, he has to gamble no matter what, waiting for death is not his style, not to mention that such grievances are not what he wants.

"General, the last general sees that many soldiers are already a little tired, do you think you can slow down?" Although Yang Jian asked Su Dingfang to follow Zhang Xutuo to learn something, he still participated in the soil work very hard, and now he doesn't know how many times he has run back and forth, and even he feels a little tired, let alone an ordinary soldier, so he suggested to Zhang Xutuo.

"Good! Then let the two waves of people rest first, and the rest continue, so that we can not only maintain speed, but also recover physical strength, otherwise our troops will have no combat effectiveness after the real pile of soil is completed, so won't we bow down to the people for the merits in hand? Zhang Xutuo also felt that it was time to slow down, according to this posture, he would definitely be able to attack the city wall before dark! Perhaps they would be the first time in history that they would have stepped on the city walls as cavalrymen, and their hearts were suddenly filled with excitement.

"Hey, why did the city gate open?" Su Dingfang suddenly found that the north gate was slowly opening, and he didn't know what the situation was.

"Not good! The enemy wants to stop us! Zhang Xutuo knew the other party's plan at a glance, they chose a section of the north city wall to pile up the soil, because there is a building on the north gate, even if it is piled up, it is impossible to pass, and after the north gate is blocked, it will have to dig and trouble, so it is convenient for the defenders to enter and exit, but they did not expect the defenders to be so bold.

"General Zhang, the prince will let us deal with it, you can rest assured that you will pile up the soil!" At this time, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin rushed to this side with their men and horses, and since they had discovered the situation, of course Yang Jin, who was always paying attention to the battle situation, also found out.

"You ......" Before Zhang Xutuo finished speaking, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin led people to kill directly in front.

"The general doesn't have to worry, it's not difficult for them to be overwhelmed by thousands of people!" Su Dingfang saw Zhang Xutuo's concerns, and said with some comfort.

"Can they beat thousands of cavalry with just over 10,000 men?" In fact, it's not that Zhang Xutuo is not at ease, it's just that the infantry cavalry, if there is no several times the strength of the cavalry, there is no way to stop the footsteps of the cavalry.

"So, what's that?!" After the two armies fought, the picture imagined in Zhang Xutuo's mind did not appear, and the situation was just the opposite, as Su Dingfang said, thousands of cavalry were dragged to death by 10,000 foot soldiers plus 1,000 cavalry. Su Dingfang is not like Zhang Xutuo, because he has long known this method of warfare, which is the anti-trapping camp created by General Li Jing from the inspiration of the trap camp in their prince's book "Three Kingdoms", but the number of people has expanded tenfold, but this power is not necessarily inferior, but it has only been practiced in the army, this time it is only a virgin battle, it is normal for Zhang Xutuo not to know, that is, Su Dingfang knew in advance and was also shocked by its power.

The cavalry can be successful in the hands of the prince, but now twice as many foot soldiers can draw the cavalry, and I don't know what miracles will be born in the hands of this master of his own in the future. Su and Zhang were both looking forward to it.
