In the blink of an eye, the next day, Li Wenyuan didn't even change the armor stained with blood, and came to the front line in Guazhou wearing the armor he wore when he killed Turkic prisoners of war. Looking at the neatly armored siege troops in front of him, Li Wenyuan nodded, nodded and called Zhang Juntai and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhang Juntai nodded and said, "Don't worry, the chief manager, we are all ready, just waiting for your order." Zhang Juntai said that he took the mask back and returned to the queue, becoming no different from ordinary soldiers. Li Wenyuan nodded and said, "Soldiers! Offensive! ”

With Li Wenyuan's order, the siege troops began to advance slowly, gradually breaking away from the main formation. The entire siege force is composed of Mo sword soldiers wearing thick armor, and the difference from the past is that this time the Mo sword soldiers all wore filial piety hats on their helmets, played spirit flags, and carried a coffin for every four people, so they formed a large funeral procession and slowly walked towards Guazhou.

Li Liang climbed to the top of the city, looked at the funeral procession outside the city that was slowly advancing towards Guazhou, and couldn't help frowning: What is Li Wenyuan going to do? What are you doing with such a big battle? It's really the first time I've seen someone fighting with a coffin. But curiosity is curiosity, but it is still normal to order the city to be defended.

"Shoot the arrows." Li Liang said with a wave of his hand.

After having Li Liang's order, the archers at the head of the city on the side couldn't hold back the panic in their hearts, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another, and fired them one after another at the funeral troops under the city. For a while, arrows rained down, flying straight towards the funeral troops under the city. However, the funeral troops were full of strange sword soldiers, and those ordinary bows and arrows could not cause them any harm. The rain of arrows hit the heavy armor with a clanging sound, and then it could only fall to the ground weakly, and was trampled deep into the dirt on the ground by the passing Mo sword soldiers.

After a few rounds of bow and arrow shooting, Li Liang stopped the archers' shooting, and seeing that the shooting of the bow and arrow did not improve, Li Liang decided not to waste arrows anymore, but to see what the funeral troops under the city were going to do.

At this time, the siege troops led by Zhang Juntai finally slowly advanced to the city gate, Zhang Juntai took out a few pieces of yellow table paper from his body like a trick, and pierced the yellow table paper with a peachwood sword, dangling against the city gate, and chanting words in his mouth:

"The Han Dynasty chased the Qiang people, put Changle in place, and sent tens of thousands of strong men to shake the Western Regions. Today, we are waiting for the way to fight without a way, the upper should be the heart of heaven, and the lower is in line with the people's feelings, and we specially invite the Yin soldiers to come to help and break the thief and fortify the city. ”

Zhang Juntai was chattering there, but he also did a good job, and the soldiers at the head of the city looked at his side, and the rest of the Modao soldiers just lowered their heads, stacked the coffins they carried in the city gate hole, and pulled out a fuse with gunpowder until the edge of the dry moat outside the city.

Some of the city defense equipment such as thistles in the moat has long been cleaned up by the Mo Dao soldiers, and the remaining one or two will not be a big problem. Seeing that the siege troops under his command had completed their respective goals, he no longer made up all kinds of hexagrams that he didn't know what to do, and after muttering the last sentence in his mouth, he picked up a bowl of water and wine from the ground next to him and put it in his mouth, sprayed it on the peach wood sword with yellow table paper in his hand, and then lit the wooden sword with the incense candle on the ground in front of him. Zhang Juntai brandished a wooden sword on fire and shouted:

"The auspicious time has come, and the Yin soldiers have arrived. Haste as a law, and the gates of the city are opened. ”

Zhang Juntai threw the wooden sword in his hand into the city gate hole full of coffins and gunpowder in front of him, but he turned around and jumped into the dry trench, and said: "The Yin soldiers borrowed the way, and the Yang people avoided it!" ”

Li Liang saw clearly on the top of the city, the little soldier under the city pretended to be a ghost, and finally threw a wooden sword into the city gate hole under his feet, and then turned around and jumped into the moat outside the city. I have never seen this kind of siege before, and I don't know which one the soldier made it? However, out of instinct, Li Liang still left the city gate tower quickly and hid on the city wall on the side.

For a moment, there was an eerie silence on the battlefield, except for the occasional sound of the nails and leaves rubbing against each other. Everyone turned their attention to the city gate hole, and as soon as the burning wooden sword hit the ground, it ignited the exposed gunpowder, and for a time the light inside the city gate hole seemed to overshadow the sun that was close to noon, forcing people to dare not look directly.

Just when some people couldn't resist the stimulation of the bright light, they either looked away or simply covered their eyes. At this time, I only heard an earth-shattering loud noise, which shook the earth three times and shook three times. The people on the battlefield were so shocked that they couldn't cover their eyes anymore, and they all followed the prestige, but they were all surprised.

I saw that the city gate, which originally looked quite heavy, was now gone, revealing a direct passage to the city. The city wall at the city gate, which was originally renovated and quite neat and clean, was also mutilated by this loud noise at this time, showing an inverted horn shape, and the wall was blackened by the burning of a large amount of gunpowder. This shocked the defenders at the head of the city, and their faces changed greatly, and they trembled and squeezed out a few words from between their somewhat pale lips: "Yin soldiers, Yin soldiers have broken the city!" ”

At this time, the siege troops led by Zhang Juntai climbed out of the dry trench of Guazhou City with their hands and feet, and rushed towards Guazhou City with their hands and feet. At this time, Li Wenyuan's side also reacted, commanding his troops to arrive at the moat in Guazhou, and under the cover of the archers' projectile to the head of the city, the engineer troops quickly erected the flying bridge on the trench for the march of the large army.

At this time, in the face of the rain of arrows thrown from the city, Li Liang could be regarded as re-placing the souls that were scattered by the previous loud noise, and at this time, seeing that Li Wenyuan's army had launched an attack, he also hurriedly ordered: "The archers returned fire, pushed the knife cart to the entrance of the city gate, and blocked those Sui troops for me." ”

At this time, Li Liangjun finally reacted, and they all performed their duties, and those who held their bows and arrows shot towards the Sui army who were charging outside the city, and Li Liangjun, who was on standby in the city, also hurriedly pushed a knife cart from the side to block the gate of Guazhou.

What is a knife car? It is to build an extremely strong two-wheeled vehicle, the body of which is almost the same width as the city gate, and is usually between three or four zhang; There are three or four layers of wooden frame in front of the car, and each layer is fixed with a number of sharp knives, and the car body has a long wheel; The enemy broke through the city gates, and dozens of hundreds of soldiers pushed knife carts to block the city gates. After all, for the long-term fierce battle of holding the city, it is difficult to protect the city gate without losing it once, and this Saimen knife car is the most useful emergency weapon.
