With Meng Hong's guidance, the huge Feng family army array was suddenly half evacuated, turned around the north city wall, and slowly walked towards the east side. At the end of the team, followed by a full ten new siege towers of nearly twenty meters. The body of the tower is a cuboid, more than two zhang in front and back, and more than three zhang in the side. Compared with the original siege tower, the current new siege tower has two spiral stairs directly behind, and there is also a spiral staircase at the back of each side, so that more soldiers can climb the siege tower as soon as possible to attack the enemy army on the city wall, and can concentrate on strengthening the troops.

Behind the siege tower, in addition to countless soldiers pulling and pushing the tower cart forward, there are also 3,000 light cavalry led by Yin Bo, divided into several cavalry teams, dragging the staggered smoke and dust around the tower cart.

And under the north city wall of Yazhou, after Lin Feng's order was issued, Zhuge Cheng also began to swing his housekeeping skills, and nearly a hundred ballistas equipped with artillery arrows were arranging a staggered formation of three rows in front and back. In addition, a huge siege cone was pushed in front of the army by hundreds of soldiers, and in front of the siege cone car, there were three siege tower cars side by side, which were enough to completely protect the siege cone behind it, so that it could safely arrive in front of the city gate.

Looking at everything under the city, Chen Jingxuan's heart at the head of the city was extremely heavy, and he couldn't hold back the horror in his heart, raised his arm and waved it gently, and ordered in a deep voice: "Drop the jack gate!" ”

Yazhou originally did not have a jack gate, but at the end of last year, after Chen Jingxuan was defeated and fled from Chengdu Mansion, in order to strengthen the defense of the city gate, a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent, and the work came out day and night, and each city gate was equipped with this jack gate weighing thousands of catties and wrapped in iron and steel nails.

And this jack gate is also the reason why Lin Feng has been reluctant to storm Yazhou for so long, after all, relying only on siege tower cars and ladders to climb the city to fight, how can the Feng family's army climb the city faster than the rebels who have been guarding the city for a long time to wait for work?

And this time the decision to attack the city was made, that is, there was an advance arrangement. While Chen Jingxuan was pondering what necessary defensive measures he still needed, the general who had just been ordered to release the jack gate ran back sweating profusely, stammering with a frightened face: "Great, my lord!" Thousand, jack gate, jack gate is broken. Hit, can't open the mechanism. ”

"What?! Thousand, the jack gate is broken?? Chen Jingxuan was suddenly startled, turned his head to stare at the other party, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes, yes. The jack brake is broken! There was already a hint of crying in the voice of the commanding general, he was in charge of the jack gate, and he also understood that this jack gate could be said to be the strongest barrier on his side. And just now he also saw the huge siege cone under the city, he knew very well that if there was no jack gate as a resistance, the thick wooden city gate, I am afraid that under the siege cone of the Feng family's army, it would not last for two quarters of an hour!

"What's going on? How can it be? How could a jack gate break?! Just looking at the other party's expression, Chen Jingxuan knew that the other party was definitely not lying, and Chen Jingxuan had enough self-confidence, the other party would definitely not dare to lie to himself, let alone do something on the jack gate.

There must be a problem!! Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Chen Jingxuan's mind, and the situation of the first battle in Chengdu Mansion half a year ago resurfaced in his mind. There are inner ghosts! There is another spy under his command!

But Chen Jingxuan couldn't think of who would be this spy at this time, and he didn't have time to pursue this issue anymore, because the Feng family army under the city was already ready to move. After a little questioning, Chen Jingxuan understood the problem, after the jack gate was raised to the inner card slot, the control mechanism would insert a small section of support at the bottom of the jack gate, and now this small section of support could not be opened, resulting in the jack gate not falling at all. And the mechanism of the entire jack gate is extremely complicated, and it is still embedded in the city wall, which can not be solved in a moment and a half, who has the ability to chisel through a section of the city wall in a short time.

Behind Chen Jingxuan, a sneer appeared in General Wang's eyes, which was fleeting, and then he took a few steps forward with his fists in his hands, leaned on Chen Jingxuan's side and whispered: "My lord! There must be something strange about this! We have to guard against it! ”

"Hmph." Chen Jingxuan snorted coldly, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly turned his head sideways, stared at General Wang's eyes, and asked slowly, "I don't know what General Wang's views and opinions are?" ”

Looking at Chen Jingxuan, who was full of murder in front of him, General Wang almost couldn't control his mood for a while, and at this time, the general who had just been ordered to put down the jack gate trotted all the way over, clasped his fists and shouted: "My lord! The jack gate of the east city wall has fallen! Nothing happens! ”

It was this short moment that also diverted Chen Jingxuan's attention, General Wang suddenly felt that the pressure dropped sharply, and the thoughts in his mind recovered again, and he immediately understood that Chen Jingxuan in front of him was not targeting himself at all, but that Chen Jingxuan at the moment no longer fully trusted anyone, just now he was just testing himself, and that invisible pressure was just a deliberate posture.

Thinking of this, General Wang couldn't help but feel relieved, and the expression on his face became natural in an instant, he respectfully clenched his fists and analyzed in a low voice: "My lord! According to the subordinates, this jack gate is nothing more than two reasons! ”

Chen Jingxuan, who had not completely suspected General Wang, naturally missed the change in General Wang's facial expression after being interrupted just now, and when he looked at the other party at this time, his expression was calm, and his heart was slightly relaxed, after all, General Wang is now the commander of the first army, and Chen Jingxuan can't always have a bad attitude towards him. After a little hesitation, he nodded lightly and said, "Which two, tell me about them?" ”

"Hmmm! This is one of them, I think the adults have already guessed in their hearts, but in the eyes of the last general, it is also the worst case! General Wang cautiously observed the change in Chen Jingxuan's expression, and said in an extremely cautious tone that broke Chen Jingxuan's mind, in fact, not only Chen Jingxuan, everyone present would think of the worst situation at the first time, that is, there was a spies in his own camp and deliberately destroyed the jack gate! However, General Wang's next words made everyone feel a little more at ease: "But the jack gate is an important organ of our army's defense, and all of them are the henchmen of our army's elites and adults!" Therefore, the last general believes that although this worst-case scenario has to be prevented, we can't fully think about it at the moment! After all, there's another possibility! ”

Although he felt that General Wang's words also made some sense, Chen Jingxuan always had a sense of danger in his heart, which was also an intuition he had cultivated over the years. While slowly nodding in acknowledging the other party's opinion, he still frowned and asked, "Another possibility?" What is possible? ”

"If the mechanism is too long, it will naturally break!" A hint of imperceptible cunning flashed in General Wang's eyes, and he analyzed it lightly: "It's the height of summer now, and the weather here is humid and hot, which will inevitably erode the organs!" Perhaps, it was just an accident! ”

"Accidentally, accidentally." Listening to the other party's understatement answer, Chen Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, then turned his head to look at the Feng family army that was already ready under the city, and sighed and ordered: "Hey! What an accident! General Wang, send someone to defend the city gate, and if necessary, block it with stones! ”
