Tens of thousands of people from all over the city gathered in the county town to evacuate, and these people were placed in the city in an orderly manner, and each county had its own area to avoid conflict. In addition, Zhao Fengyue, the minister of Zhongshan, and the county commander of Wuji County appeased the people who came to take refuge one by one, and Tai Shici sent troops to control the situation, and tens of thousands of people were safe and sound in the city.

It's just that more and more people gather, and there are many mouths, and the daily consumption of money and food is very large.

Yiwuji County's grain storage is also under tremendous pressure.

In the past few days, Wuji County has consumed a lot of food hoarded, but there is no way to do it, so I can only grit my teeth and stay up. During this period, Zhao Fengyue and the county magistrate walked almost every corner where the people were, Zhao Fengyue lost a lot of weight, his eyes were red, but his eyes were full of energy. Zhao Fengyue faintly enjoyed this feeling, because everywhere he went, the people must be grateful to him.

Those in power, meritorious service, speech, and morality, Zhao Fengyue is not only making meritorious service, but also establishing morality.

"Boom! Boom!! ”

The drums of war rang out in the city, echoing for a long time.

Zhao Fengyue, who was appeasing the people, was shocked when he heard it. He is the minister of Zhongshan Kingdom, knows the meaning of beating the drums of war, and knows that war is coming. There was no time to appease the people, Zhao Fengyue left the county order to appease the people and rushed towards the city tower.

On the city tower, Tai Shici held a big iron spear and stood solemnly.

Outside the city, there is a dense army.

This army is the army of Gongsun Zan who came from Hanchang County.

Tens of thousands of troops stood solemnly and lined up neatly.

In addition, you can see the siege equipment such as catapults, siege vehicles, cloud carts, and ladders placed outside the castle. It can be seen that Gongsun Chan is fully prepared and wants to capture Wuji County in one fell swoop.

The rumbling of war drums and the sound of whimpering trumpets echoed outside the city.

Not to be outdone, Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to beat drums and cheer to strengthen their momentum.

"Someone!"

Tai Shi Ci shouted, and a captain who was guarding the city arrived.

"General!" The captain hugged his fists.

Tai Shi Ci said in a deep voice: "Are the equipment for defending the city ready?" ”

"Everything is ready, please rest assured General." The lieutenant looked at him seriously and replied, "This time we are well prepared, even if Gongsun Chan wants to attack the city, he will definitely return with a feather." ”

In the words, there is a strong sense of confidence.

"It's good to have self-confidence, but it's stupid to be blindly confident, cheer up and deal with it carefully." Tai Shi Ci stared at the soldiers of the Youzhou Army outside the city, his eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart?

Gongsun Zhan was wearing a white robe, and a white horse with a divine horse in his crotch, and ordered: "Send someone to surrender!" ”

He is confident that he can break the city, but if he can not fight, he is naturally the best.

The order was delivered, and a short time later, a civilian official rode out of the military formation. The official rode to the city tower, looked up at Tai Shi Ci on the city tower, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Tai Shi Ci, my lord can't bear to see the lives of Wuji County, and I hope you will open the city gate and surrender." Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

Tai Shici stared at the civil officials downstairs in the city, snorted, and did not reply.

I saw Tai Shici put down the big iron gun in his hand, ordered the soldiers to take the iron tire bow, and picked up a feather arrow and put it on the bowstring.

"Whoa!!"

The feather arrow broke through the air and blinked in front of the civil official.

Poof!

An arrow pierced the chest of a civilian official, instantly fatal.

Gongsun Chan saw the civil officials under his command being killed in front of the military array, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, eager to break Tai Shici's body into ten thousand pieces, and said viciously: "Damn Tai Shici, when my Gongsun Chan is made of clay figures, can you take it casually?" Herald, siege! ”

At the sound of an order, the front army under his command began to attack.

The dense army rushed towards the tower.

Zhao Fengyue came to the city tower, and as soon as he walked to Tai Shici's side, he saw the Youzhou army that was already rushing towards him. Zhao Fengyue was taken aback, looked at Tai Shi Ci, and asked, "General Tai Shi, what should I do?" ”

"Fight to the death!"

Tai Shi Ci had a cold face and replied categorically.

Zhao Fengyue nodded and pursed his lips.

On the city tower, the soldiers defending the city are ready. Seeing the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan approaching within twenty zhang of the city tower, Tai Shici decisively ordered: "Archer, prepare!" ”

On the castle tower, rows of archers were ready.

"Put!"

Tai Shi Ci waved his big iron spear, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, rushing towards the army under Gongsun Zhan.

"Whew! Shout!!! ”

The bow and arrow shot out, as if a rain of arrows had fallen, which was spectacular.

The dense rain of arrows fell on the crowd of soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's command like rain hitting plantains. The tips of the arrows were sharp and sharp, and although they were all shot indiscriminately without aiming, the crowd was too dense, and the bows and arrows shot into the dense crowd and easily hit the charging soldiers. The tip of the arrow tore through the clothes, broke into the skin, and entered the soldiers' bodies, taking the lives of the soldiers one by one.

In an instant, swaths of soldiers fell.

The feather arrows of the castle tower attacked strongly, but they could not stop the momentum of the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's command.

Waves of soldiers rushed to the tower.

As the distance closed, the soldiers rushed to the back of the city. At this time, the cloud car drove slowly, and the cloud ladders were set up on the city tower. At the same time, siege trucks were also brought over, and countless soldiers launched a fierce attack on the tower.

"Prepare the sassaga wood and put it!"

Pieces of wood rolled down from the towers and smashed on the besieging soldiers.

Each piece of wood is very thick, one foot in diameter and about one zhang long.

Not only that, but the body of each piece of wood was marked with sharp and sharp iron nails, and the wood itself was so powerful that after rolling down from the tower, the constantly rotating iron nails hit the soldiers' bodies, either dead or injured. The soldiers who were stoned to death were no longer in pain, and those who were not dead were scraped by iron nails, and immediately their flesh and blood flew and they loved to scream.

"Boiling oil, pour!"

There was a loud noise, and the steaming oil poured down from the tower. In an instant, the slanted boiling oil was like a heavenly river, splashing on the bodies of the besieging soldiers.

"Ugh! !! ”

When the boiling oil was splashed on the body, it immediately made a gurgling sound, and everything that was splashed on the body by the boiling oil blistered.

The soldiers screamed and jumped like monkeys, and the situation was miserable.

"Prepare the rocket!"

A group of soldiers armed with rockets appeared, and this group of soldiers aimed at the place where the wood and the boiling oil had fallen.

"Put!"

The order was given, and rocket after rocket fell, shooting into the soldiers, as well as hitting the wood and boiling oil that fell to the ground. With a whew, the oil burned, and so did the dry sandalwood sprinkled with the oil.

Downstairs, it soon became a sea of fire.

The smell of burnt and billowing smoke filled the air.

All this failed to stop the footsteps of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army under Gongsun Zhan.

Soon, there were already soldiers rushing up to the tower.

Tai Shi Ci carried a big gun, and wherever there were many enemies rushing up, he rushed to wherever he went.

"Kill!"

The big gun shook, like a dragon shuttling, brushing across the necks of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army. Tai Shi Ci kept rushing to kill, he was already covered with blood, and the soldiers defending the city also fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the soldiers who rushed up were beaten down, and soon rushed up again, and so on, almost all the time.

"Boom! Bang! ”

Large boulders flew from outside the city and smashed on the towers.

Standing on the tower, you can feel the tower shaking, as if the tower will collapse at any time. However, this could not stop Tai Shici's determination to resist to the death, and he could not surrender even if he died.

The war continued, and at noon, the sound of gongs finally came from outside the city.
