"Look at the wooden ladders made by the thieves, can you hit them." Li Jiye pointed to the slowly rising wooden ladder and asked his artillerymen.

"Mr. Li Qian, this is not difficult, that thing is so close to us, and the target is so big, how can it not hit." The artillerymen laughed in response, and then adjusted their muzzles to the 10 rising wooden ladders.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock." Rumbling cannons rang out.

Several wooden bridges were directly hit by the disemboweling shells, which carried huge kinetic energy and directly pierced the wooden ladder, and then beat several civilians who were pushing the ladder to the stomach and killed them instantly.

And the wood that was driven by the cannonballs was also like a sharp hidden weapon, piercing the heads and faces of the people, and the people who only pierced covered their heads and faces, and wailed miserably.

"I only hit 6 wooden bridges, and 4 didn't hit them, so come back." Li Jiye looked at the results of the artillery, frowned and urged.

"Hey, I know, Mr. Qian, Xu was crooked when he just fought, and it's not too late for the little ones to fight again." The crooked artillery pawns hugged and apologized shyly, then adjusted the angle, aimed carefully, and then confidently assured Li Jiye: "Master Li, this time the management can be successful." ”

"Let's talk about it." Li Jiye waved his hand.

"Look."

The gunners answered confidently, and then lit the fuse, 'Knock, knock, knock, knock.' ’

Orange flames erupted from the muzzle of the Furlong cannon, and the solid projectile shot out of the barrel and headed straight for the wooden ladders, which instantly smashed the remaining wooden ladders to pieces.

The people who were still pushing the wooden ladder were also killed and wounded.

"Well done." Li Jiye slammed his fist on the wall, and then asked Wang Zuohang: "How, our artillery is not bad, right?" ”

"The artillery under Li Ye's hands is really mighty, and I admire it." Wang Zuo said with a smile.

"Hehe, your archers are not bad." When Li Jiye saw Wang Zuohang praising his artillerymen, he exchanged courtesies and praised the archers under the other party.

"Brothers, have you heard Master Li's praise?" When Wang Zuojiao heard Li Jiye's praise, he first smiled slightly, and then asked his subordinates loudly.

"We hear you." A kind of archers responded in unison.

"Do you see the thieves who are still on the edge of the trench?"

"See."

"Shoot them."

"Yes."

The archers agreed, and then they bent their bows and arrows, and shot out the feathered arrows in the quiver.

Pity those people who had just been killed and wounded by the artillery, and before they came to their senses, they were shot by the feather arrows of the Jingbian Fort Army, and many people died in an instant.

"The officers and soldiers are too powerful, everyone runs."

I don't know who shouted, and the people couldn't care about the death threats of Gao Yingdeng and others, so they ran back with their heads down.

"Brother God, how can this be good?" Gao Yingdeng looked at the people who were running frantically, and hesitated to ask the God One Yuandao.

"What else can we do, don't kill again, let them come back and then talk about it, let's collect the troops and return to the camp first, and then make plans." Shen Yiyuan replied rather depressedly.

"The thief has retreated again." Li Jiye looked at the thieves who were receding like a tide, and said to Wang Zuohang with a smile.

"Master Li, there are few thieves, so they can only fight at the city wall on our side, our weapons are sharp, the soldiers are powerful, and the city defense facilities are also very good, I think the thieves can't touch our city wall at all, and people will be killed." Wang Zuohang looked at the situation in front of him and said with a smile.

"Who's to say it isn't! Alas, if it weren't for the fact that the general hadn't come back yet, why should we be trapped in the city, just take people out to fight them, we had fought with the Jiannu Baya Formation back then, and we would be afraid of the northern captives! Li Jiye recalled the eventful years of the past, and couldn't help but say such a sentence with some pride and pride.

"What Li Ye said is that if General Liu comes back with other soldiers, we naturally don't have to be trapped in Jingbian Fort, and we should be able to go out of the city to fight." Wang Zuohang nodded and agreed.

"What about the losses in this battle?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shen Yiyuan had a gloomy face and asked Shen Yikui.

"Brother, we have a total of 500 people in this battle, and there are only more than 100 people who can come back, and the rest are dead." Shen Yikui sighed and said a little depressedly.

"I didn't think that the defense of Jingbian Fort was so good, whether it was artillery or archers, it was very powerful, and it was only half a day after fighting, and our wooden ladder was all destroyed by the cannon, and it seems that we need to make another wooden ladder." God One Yuan replied.

"If you make a wooden ladder again, and it is broken by their cannons, what can you do?" Gao Yingdeng frowned.

"Then do it again, and then drive the mouth to build a wooden bridge, and their shells will run out sometimes." God One Yuan replied.

"Who knows how many shells they have, if their shells are enough to fight for a year, we will wait here for a year. I'm afraid that by that time, the Mongols will be gone. Gao Yingdeng said disapprovingly.

"Then Yingdeng, how do you think we should attack the city?" Shen Yiyuan asked.

"Catch more raw mouths and drive them to carry soil and fill the trenches, so that the target is smaller, and the defenders' artillery may not be able to hit." Gao Yingden suggested.

"Isn't it too slow to carry the soil?" Shen Yiyuan frowned.

"Don't be slow, let's pour the soil into the sack, tell the people to push it with a wheelbarrow, unload it when we reach the edge of the trench, and then come back to carry the soil, and so on, back and forth a few times, and naturally fill in a path." Gao Yingden suggested.

"There's some truth to what you're saying. As soon as you go, you can send someone to catch the birth port nearby, and in addition, you have to find more wheelbarrows and sacks. Let's stop the battle today, wait for the shengkou to come, tell the shengkou to dig up the soil and put it in the sack, and when everything is ready to stop, let's attack the city again. God commanded.

"Okay, brother, I'll do it." As soon as God received the order, he took the rebels under his command and attacked in all directions, and went to collect raw mouths, wheelbarrows and sacks.

When Shen Yikui found 2,000 people, wheelbarrows and sacks, he ordered the people to dig up the earth and put it in sacks.

Under the threat of the rebels, the people worked day and night, and were stunned to pack more than 500 bags of soil.

On the morning of the third day, Shen Yiyuan asked Gao Yingden to continue to supervise the people to fill the ditch with two sacks of soil in a wheelbarrow. This time, in order to reduce the casualties of the people and save him the trouble of sending someone to catch the new people, Shen Yiyuan specially asked a young and strong person to push a cart, and two more people held the door panel to block the bow and arrow.

Of course, this can only be done to defend against bows and arrows, and if the defenders use cannons, the people will have to face death calmly.

It is said that these captured people saw that they had protection, and that they could survive as long as they pushed the wheelbarrow to fill the soil into the trench, so they naturally used all their strength to eat milk and quickly pushed the wheelbarrow to the edge of the trench to fill the soil.

The defenders at the head of the city still fought the enemy in the old way.
