Gwangju, Gwangseong, the trebuchet outside the city is like a forest, constantly throwing stones at the city, and the trebuchets in the city do not show weakness, under the guidance of the soldiers who risk death to observe the enemy's situation at the head of the city, they also keep throwing stones outward.

Dozens of pounds of rocks were constantly staggered in mid-air, and when they landed, they either stirred up a burst of dust, hit something, or caused a scream, taking some lives.

The Zhou army's siege weapon, the counterweight trebuchet, has now been mastered by the Sui army, and the Sui army guarding Guangcheng took advantage of this to confront the Zhou army besieging the city.

The war between Zhou and Sui broke out in September last year, and after lasting for half a year, Zhou lost the two governors of Hezhou and Wuzhou, and the connection with Shannan Prefecture was broken, so Guangzhou, which was ruled by the Yuzhou governor's office of Sui State, became the target of the Zhou army's onslaught.

Gwangju is located at the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, there is an official road on its south side to cross Dabie Mountain, and it reaches Nandingzhou under the rule of Huangzhou Governor's Office in the south of Shannan, which is another important road to Shannan, so the Zhou army is bound to win, and the Sui army also swears to defend the city.

The offensive and defensive battle around Guangcheng had already begun in October last year, and the Sui army relied on the fortresses on the periphery of Guangcheng and the Zhou army to maneuver, but the main force of the Yuzhou army attacked Jingzhou in the south, and the situation in Guangzhou gradually deteriorated.

At the cost of countless lives, the Zhou army fought dozens of battles with the Sui army, pulling out the outlying strongholds of the Sui army one by one, and now the troops are finally in the city, and the two sides gritted their teeth to attack and defend.

The city defense of the city of Light has been improved for trebuchets, the city wall has been thickened instead of blindly increasing the height, the rammed earth city wall is twice as thick as the original, and the original arrow tower has been mostly reduced.

The arrow tower is vulnerable to the stone rain of the counterweight trebuchet, so there is no need to waste materials, but the thickened rammed earth city wall can effectively withstand the attack of the trebuchet, dozens of stones smashed up, the city wall will not collapse, at most burst and finally form a ramp.

Around this kind of ramp, the attacking and defending sides kept filling in human lives, the first dead soldiers of the Zhou army struggled to climb the slope, and the defending soldiers of the Sui army fought hard to defeat the other party, countless days and nights, countless attacks and counterattacks, and the head of Gwangju City was full of scarlet.

The ground was bloody, and the ground was not peaceful.

In a certain tunnel, the air was turbid, full of sweat and other smells, more than a dozen men struggled to carry a coffin forward, and a person in front of him lit a candle and used the candlelight the size of a bean to light the way for his companions.

The pit is not very wide, and there are water droplets constantly dripping from the top of the pit road, so the ground is a little muddy, and everyone can only carry the coffin one after the other, moving forward cautiously, and finally come to the end of the pit with ease.

There were already three coffins placed there, two on the bottom and one on top, which looked a little ooping in the dimly lit tunnels, and the men stacked the fourth coffin on top of it, and then most of them left immediately, leaving the three of them to drumble about something.

The candlelight flickered, and the person holding the candle became more and more nervous: "Did I say okay?" ”

"Alright, alright!"

The trio quickly left, barricading the pit with wooden planks, leaving behind four coffins and eight sticks of burning incense.

"Let's go! Otherwise, you won't be able to get out! ”

。。。。。。

Zhu Yun, the assassin of Guangzhou, Sui State, cautiously climbed the head of the eastern city wall, risking being hit by flying stones, and observing the movements of the Zhou army outside the city.

"Envoy, the Zhou army piled up mountains of soil, thinking that these soils were transported when digging tunnels."

"I've been digging for ten days, and it looks like I'm almost at the foot of the city wall..."Er Zhuyun's face was solemn, the Zhou army couldn't take advantage of the trebuchet, and several times the organization of the first attack on the city was also repulsed, it seems that it is going to use the tunnel.

Digging tunnels to bypass the city walls and allowing soldiers to follow the tunnels directly into the city is a common siege method, and Guangcheng is also prepared to defend this hand.

First of all, the moat and the moat, but the Zhou army braved the arrows to dig a ditch to drain the water of the moat of Guangcheng, and now there is a fearless digging tunnel, which is not too shallow, so the trench and the dry moat can no longer work.

"Do you hear any movement over there?"

"Envoy, the Zhou army has almost dug to the foot of the city wall. However, our army has already gathered its forces and is waiting under the corner of the eastern city wall, and if they dare to show their heads, they will die! ”

"Good, knock them off anyway."

As soon as the words fell, Er Zhuyun was dragged to the side by his entourage, and after a few breaths, a large stone fell and smashed right where he was standing.

"Please go down, the city is too dangerous!"

"It's okay, the soldiers are not afraid of arrows, what are the officers afraid of?"

Erzhuyun ascended to the top of the city, firstly, to observe the enemy's situation, and secondly, to boost morale, as the main general, if he hid in the city, what kind of system would he become, and how to motivate the morale to hold the city.

Guangcheng has been surrounded by the Zhou army, the other party is bound to win, and the siege is getting stronger and stronger, and the defenders of Guangcheng can only wait for reinforcements to have a glimmer of life.

Most of the arrows have been consumed, most of the houses have been dismantled to be used as rolling logs, and the stones prepared for the trebuchets in advance have also been consumed.

Er Zhuyun knew that there were reinforcements on the periphery to find a way, and the cavalry of the Sui army was harassing behind the back of the Zhou army, constantly dispersing the opponent's forces, as long as he looked for an opportunity to cut off the grain route, Guangcheng was not without hope of breaking the siege.

The premise is that they have to resist, since Guangcheng has been resisting for nearly five months, then Er Zhuyun decided to grit his teeth and continue to resist.

"Envoy! Zhou Jun is here! ”

Er Zhuyun looked up when he heard this, but saw that the Zhou army outside the city began to approach under the cover of the big shield, knowing that the other party was about to launch a new round of attack, and was about to command the soldiers to fight, but suddenly felt a shock under his feet, and at the same time heard a dull loud noise.

It seemed that he was standing on a drum, someone beat the drum hard, the loud noise shook the ears, and the feet trembled, Er Zhuyun saw the dust rising around him, and then his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell.

Thunder fell on a sunny day, black smoke suddenly rose from the east wall of the light city, and a big gap appeared in the city wall when the dust was flying, and the Zhou army approaching outside the city then broke out like a tidal shout: "The city is broken!" ”

The surviving Sui soldiers near the city wall shouted hoarsely, summoning their comrades to rush to the gap, to block the gap with flesh and blood.

His left foot was in pain, and when he looked down, his calf was already bloody and blurred, and there was no place in his body that didn't hurt, but Er Zhuyun struggled to get up, and the strange scene just now reminded him of a rumor: The Zhou army has a thunderstorm, which is so powerful that it can crack mountains and rocks.

With a clatter, he pulled out his saber, and he staggered to the Zhou soldiers who rushed in front of him: "Kill the enemy!" ”

Arrows rained down, Er Zhuyun was shot like a hedgehog and fell to the ground on his back, and a tidal cry sounded in his ears again: "The city is broken!" (To be continued.) )
