Zuo Liangyu listened to the drums and trumpets and shouts that suddenly broke out outside the city, and his heart suddenly jumped a few times, as if he was being grabbed by an invisible big hand, which actually made him feel a little suffocated for a while.

Three consecutive days of bombardment, basically the battlements on the city wall to collapse to the end, the city wall is full of rubble, mixed with the shells of the officers and soldiers killed by the stump and broken arms and corpses, blood flows down the inside and outside of the city wall, many places are dyed dark red, the air is also filled with a strong smell of corpses, there are still many wounded officers and soldiers lying under the city, from time to time there are wailing, they have no medical officer to treat them, can only lie down and wait for death, many people's wounds because the weather is too hot, has rotted, A large number of flies buzzed around their wounds, like hell on earth.

Zuo Liangyu can be regarded as experiencing the sharpness of the artillery fire of the Xingtian Army, when he was in Henan, he suffered the blow of the artillery fire of the Xingtian Army, but it is far less powerful than this time, in the past three days, the cannons outside the city have almost not stopped, one after another, all kinds of cannonballs into the city, hit the city wall, at the beginning he can still force people to go up to defend the city, but today, no matter how he kills, no one is willing to go to the top to die, so that a large number of officers and soldiers are crowded at the foot of the city wall trembling, His face was full of despair, and if such morale could hold Jingzhou City, it would be hell.

But Zuo Liangyu was still unwilling, after all, he had been operating here for so long, although he knew that he couldn't hold Jingzhou City, but he couldn't let the Xingtian Army occupy Jingzhou City so cheaply, and he still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhou City, he could still fight.

When the sentry on duty in the city exclaimed and passed down the news, saying that the Xingtian army outside the city had begun to attack, Zuo Liangyu once again drove his subordinates to the city wall, some people were unwilling to go up to die, and as a result, they were chopped off by his own soldiers on the spot. There was an exclamation.

This situation did not arouse the slightest sympathy for Zuo Liangyu, and he still ordered to continue to force the soldiers to go to the city to defend it, and he didn't care what their fate would be after they went up.

Rows of firecrackers were directly under the cover of the oars, approaching dozens of steps to the city wall, and rows of guns were released towards the city under the command of the officers, and many officers and soldiers would be immediately knocked over on the city wall as soon as they showed their heads, and the battlements on the city wall were basically destroyed by all kinds of artillery, and the officers and soldiers had almost no place to hide, so they could only stand on the rubble, screaming and falling, and throwing something at the city, and some officers and soldiers carried some wooden planks on the city wall, which were temporarily used as shelters, to cover their bodies, but the Xingtian army put a large number of light three-pounder cannons directly under the city wall, and fired directly at the city, and the barrel of the cannon was used as a butt, and some small iron bullets were loaded into it, and each time the cannon bombarded it, the officers and soldiers in the city fell down in pieces, and the corpses of officers and soldiers fell down the city wall like dumplings, and the blood soon pooled into a stream and flowed down the cracks in the broken wall.

A large number of Xingtian army members rushed to the foot of the city wall with shields under the cover of artillery fire behind them, struggled to erect a long ladder on the city wall, and then braved the arrows thrown or shot from the city to begin to attach to the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city were also driven crazy at this time, behind them was a row of Zuo Liangyu's cronies, one by one with a bright sword staring at them, with sharp arrows on the hard bow waiting for them to turn around and escape from the city wall, and then attack them, and under the city were groups of Xingtian army members who rushed up, Let them have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and finally have to resist desperately, hoping to block the attack of the Xingtian Army.

Originally, under normal circumstances, if the attacker wanted to attack the city, at least the number of troops should exceed the defender by more than three times and there was a possibility of conquering the enemy city, but now this law is no longer practical for the Xingtian Army, although the Xingtian Army does not have many troops, but the combat effectiveness is strong, and the number of artillery and firearms equipment is ten times that of the enemy in the city, so they don't think about this matter at all, they just want to attack the city as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the siege war, it showed a state of incandescent incandescent state, the two armies were on the city wall in the north of Jingzhou, launched a desperate struggle, although the defenders were insufficient, but after all, they were condescending, occupying a geographical advantage, and they could smash and injure the troops of the Xingtian Army if they dropped a brick casually, but the firecrackers and light artillery of the Xingtian Army continued to shoot and kill the defenders on the city, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely as soon as they fought each other.

After half a day of fierce fighting, the Xingtian army still failed to attack the city wall, but it killed and injured many defenders in the city, but their casualties were not too small, at noon Xiao Tianjian ordered to withdraw and rest, and then fought again in the afternoon, taking advantage of this almost all departments to summarize the losses and report to Xiao Tianjian, one morning, the Xingtian army paid the price of a deputy battalion general and two company commanders, four deputy company commanders killed, and more than 300 soldiers were killed, and basically the same number of soldiers were injured, but on the other hand, the casualties of the defenders in the city, At least more than 2,000 people, Zuo Liangyu does not use his soldiers as people, it can be said that he is completely driving away these people who were captured by him as cannon fodder, and is using human lives to stop the Xingtian Army from attacking the city, and the angry Xiao Tianjian can't help but grit his teeth, wanting to tear Zuo Liangyu, a bastard.

All the troops fought a little aggrieved, although they killed and injured a lot of defenders in the city, but most of them were cannon fodder, not Zuo Liangyu's cronies.

And Zuo Liangyu is not having a good time in the city, although he is not sorry for these soldiers, but after all, these people also have brains, he can still force them to go to the city in the morning, but at noon, he has already found that the soldiers have signs of mutiny, if it is like in the morning, relying on killing, forcing them to go to the city, maybe there will be a large-scale mutiny in the city in the afternoon, then he will be dangerous.

So Zuo Liangyu rolled his eyes, and immediately ordered his cronies to take over these cannon fodder to defend the city in the afternoon, and at the same time sent people to bring the women and even children captured in the surrounding areas of the city to the city to prepare.
