Yingdu.

Lian Po stared at the majestic city in front of him, with a thoughtful old face.

In front of Lian Po, thousands of Zhao troops were shouting and killing like a tsunami, like a black and red tide, constantly spreading towards the huge walls of Yingdu City, wanting to completely engulf this city.

But there is no doubt that the people of Chu will not sit idly by.

Yingdu has a history of hundreds of years as the capital of the Chu State, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the spiritual totem in the hearts of the people of the Chu State.

As long as Yingdu is still there, the state of Chu will not perish!

Although the Zhao army has swept the world over the years, it has already achieved a great reputation, and before Lian Po's troops arrived, nearly half of the people in Yingdu City had already run.

But the problem is that not every Chu person is so afraid of death, and it is not that there are no Chu people who are willing to give their lives for their country.

In addition, Yin Li Yuan, the commander of the Chu State in the city of Yingdu, obviously also understood what kind of ending he should be after the city was broken, so this Ling Yin was almost desperate and pressed all the forces that could be used, just to contain Yingdu.

In order to achieve the goal of confusing the soldiers and civilians in the city, Li Yuan even made people hype in the city, saying that once the Zhao people broke the city, they would kill all the men in the city who were taller than the wheels, and then reduce the remaining children and women to slaves and take them to the Western Regions for mining thousands of miles away.

Under so many measures, the soldiers and civilians of the Chu State in the Yingdu finally succeeded in arousing such a desire to survive with the same hatred and hatred, and put up a very fierce resistance to the attack of the Zhao army.

At this moment, in front of General Lian Po, a cloud ladder of the Zhao army was forcefully pushed away from the city by the Chu army above the city head, and the long cloud ladder drew an arc in the air and landed heavily, and many Zhao troops on it fell into the smoke and dust, corresponding to the bursts of cheers from the city head.

But the cheers above the city did not last long, and soon turned into bursts of exclamations.

"Earthquake thunder, dodge!"

The earth-shattering thunderbolts roared down from the sky under the throwing of Zhao Jun's trebuchet, and landed at the head of Yingdu City and inside the city.

In the roaring explosion, bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the head of Yingdu City, occasionally accompanied by the screams of Chu soldiers.

Not every sky-shaking thunder is so accurate, and there are several sky-shaking thunders that accidentally fell under the city, accidentally injuring many Zhao army soldiers.

But whether it was the siege soldiers of the Zhao army or the defending soldiers and civilians of the Chu State, the two sides were also fighting non-stop, as if these earth-shattering thunders did not exist at all.

Overall, after besieging the capital city for nearly two months, the Zhao army still did not make much progress.

"This Chu people are really brave, and they deserve the name of Nanban." The deputy general Le Cheng, who was standing beside Lian Po, couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

The arrogance of the people of Chu has always been famous. After all, this is a country that dared to stand on its own as a king when it was only a weak and small country, and it was a country that was on an equal footing with the powerful Zhou Tianzi, and it was also a country that dared to be the first to show its intention to win the Central Plains, and it was still a resilient country that had suffered setbacks for a long time but never gave up.

Lian Po nodded and said in a deep voice: "This Chu State can stand here for eight hundred years, naturally it has its own uniqueness. ”

As a leading general, Lian Po is naturally very confident in his heart, but this does not mean that this hot-tempered old general does not look at the enemy in his eyes.

Since suffering the defeat of Gao Tang, although Lian Po's whole person is still hot, the situation of underestimating the enemy will not appear in this old general at all.

But when Lian Po led the army to the city of Yingdu, the old general found that he still seemed to have underestimated the people of Chu.

Originally, Lian Po thought that he would easily break through the city and incorporate this Yingdu into the territory of Zhao.

According to the information presented by Hu Yiwei before, Li Yuan has mobilized almost all the troops that can be mobilized into Yingdu, which means that as long as Yingdu can be taken, then the western half of Chu controlled by Li Yuan will be occupied by the Zhao army at a speed like autumn wind sweeping leaves.

However, the facts were somewhat unexpected to Lian Po, not only did the Chu people not rout very quickly, but showed an extremely tenacious spirit of resistance, even though the siege time had come to two months, but the Zhao army still did not show any signs of success.

As soon as he thought of this, Lian Po's heart was quite unhappy.

Because just a few days ago, Lian Po had just received information that Pang Xuan, who had attacked the three major families, had successfully caused great panic in the core hinterland of the three major families by using Sima Shang's naval army to raid Wucheng.

Although Sima Shang's forces were relatively limited, and the vigilance of the three major families was also very high, so Wu City was not broken by Sima Shang's surprise attack, but the three major families still had to abandon the Yangtze River defense line after learning the news and began to retreat south.

In this way, the Zhao Guodong Route Army led by Pang Xuan was able to cross the Yangtze River with a swagger and march towards Wucheng.

Since the information was first transmitted back to Handan from Pang Xuan, and then sent to Lian Po by Yu Xinren from Handan, the news that Lian Po learned was actually a month ago.

It's been a month, what are the results of Pang Xuan's side? Could it be that now that he has broken through Wu Cheng and is celebrating in the royal palace of Wu City?

If that's really the case, then how can General Lian Po's face exist!

Lian Po's face sank like water, and he was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he locked on a master craftsman of Zhao Guo who was hurrying over.

This master craftsman of Zhao Guo came to Lian Po, first saluted Lian Po, and then said to Lian Po happily: "General Qiqi, all the earth-shaking thunder has been buried, and it is ready to be detonated!" ”

Lian Po was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although it is said that the Zhao army is now able to use the earth-shattering thunder to bombard the city wall, since the city wall of Yingdu also belongs to the kind of city wall that has been tested by trebuchets for a long time, such a bombing does not have much effect.

If you want to blow up the city wall, then you can only use the original way, which is to bury a large number of hundreds or thousands of earth-shaking thunders under the city wall, and then detonate them all at once, so as to have the result of blasting through the city wall and attacking Yingdu.

The old general snorted, and said in a loud voice: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and blast this damn wall open for me! ”
