In the past, Dong Wu had such thoughts, naturally there were not too many problems, after all, when the soldiers were attacking the city, they only had so many means, but they were facing an army with great development, especially in the siege, after many years of conquest, the princes' strength has been greatly improved, the most obvious is in the siege.

Castles that used to take two months to conquer could be breached in a month or even less with the help of thunderbolts and bed crossbows.

After showing off the 20,000 troops outside the city, they chose to attack the city from both sides, and there are now thousands of defenders inside the city, and the strength should not be underestimated.

A series of thunderbolts were erected to a distance of three hundred paces from the city wall, and the defenders of the city showed puzzlement after seeing this scene, in their cognition, if the enemy wanted to attack the city, it was natural to approach the city wall and climb the top of the city to achieve it, and these soldiers were busy three hundred steps away from the city wall to make them extremely puzzled.

Not only the defenders of the city, Dong Wu also had the same feeling, Dunhuang is the road for the Western Regions to enter Liangzhou after all, and the city in the east of Dunhuang is occupied by the Qiang people, this situation, so that the defenders of Dunhuang know very little about the news of the princes of the Central Plains, thunderbolts and bed crossbows, they don't know and understandable.

After a busy day, the outside of the city gradually returned to quiet.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the city walls, the army outside the city had already gathered, and the soldiers who controlled the thunderbolt were ready, just waiting for the general's order, and launched an attack on Dunhuang.

Lu Bu glanced at the city in the distance, and gave the order to attack, of course, this order was conveyed to the Thunderbolt riders, and at the back of the Thunderbolt Riders, there were soldiers with dirt bags on their shoulders, on the bodies of these soldiers, there was not even armor to protect them, what they had to do was to throw the dirt bags into the moat at a very fast speed, which was also the process that must be passed through to attack a city, only after the moat was filled, could they approach the city wall and pose a threat to the defenders.

When Dong Wu saw the army outside the city, he hurriedly ordered the archers to prepare.

The process of the enemy filling the moat is when the enemy inflicts the most damage on the enemy, and the soldiers who fill the moat naturally do not wear armor in pursuit of speed, and the defenders can calmly shoot the enemy at this time.

This is also the time when the advantage of the defenders is most reflected, and the besieging side can only pay for the lives of its soldiers.

After receiving Dong Wu's order, the archers in the city aimed their bows and arrows outside the city.

There were no rumbling war drums, only roaring boulders, and the soldiers who were waiting in the city saw the boulders coming from all over the world.

A series of black shadows smashed into the city with boundless might, and the city was suddenly in chaos, under the boulders, the strength of the defenders was so weak, and the armor on their bodies could not provide them with protection at all.

One of the archers lay in a pool of blood, wailing.

The attack of a hundred thunderbolts together was astonishing, and the most important thing was the shock it brought to the defenders, who had never seen such a siege before, and what kind of reaction they would have when they came into contact with it now.

The power of the thunderbolt and the screams of the robes made many of the defenders pale, and some timid soldiers even moved in the direction of the city, but after seeing the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers in charge of supervising the battlefield, they could only give up.

Not only the defenders of the city, but even these soldiers who were responsible for supervising the battlefield turned pale when they saw this situation, and many of them were holding on.

When the enemy army attacked the city, the easiest thing was the soldiers who were responsible for supervising the battlefield, they were very safe on the battlefield, and they did not have to worry about the threat from the enemy, but this time, the supervising soldiers were not spared, and the three soldiers were directly hit by the boulder, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

A round of boulder attacks plunged the city into turmoil, and although Dong Wu kept giving orders, the effect was not very good.

The soldiers who operated the Thunderbolt did not stop, but tried to throw more boulders onto the walls to inflict maximum damage on the defenders.

After the third round of boulders, the soldiers in charge of filling the moat moved, and the city was in a panic at this time, how could the defenders take care of the soldiers who would fill the moat.

The situation in the city made Lu Bu secretly regret that if Dunhuang did not have this sixty-step wide moat, just relying on the cover of the thunderbolt car, the army could capture Dunhuang, for the soldiers who had not experienced the thunderbolt, the power generated by the thunderbolt when attacking was enough for them to retreat.

Half an hour later, the chaos in the city had lessened considerably, and the soldiers in charge of the overseer had also killed several people, and even two of the soldiers in charge of the overseer tried to escape from the city wall and mercilessly slaughtered for the robes, which showed what a deterrent the thunderbolt had formed in their hearts.

The Thunderbolt attack continued, and after a day the moat had been filled a quarter of it, and in this case, it would have taken only four days for the army outside the city to fill the moat.

Dong Wu's plan once again failed, originally thinking that the existence of the city could block the army of the King of Jin, and he didn't want the enemy army to still be able to cause a lot of damage to the defenders when facing the city.

In fact, there are very few soldiers who are hit by the boulder, but the deterrence caused by the boulder is huge, especially the robes that died tragically around them, which is a huge stimulation for them.

If they could live, no one would want to die, and the same was true of the defenders of Dunhuang.

At this time, some soldiers couldn't help but flash Chen Ying's figure in their minds, thinking of Chen Ying's decision at the beginning, at the beginning, they didn't feel anything, but now when facing the attack of the previous army, they suddenly understood Chen Ying's good intentions, and some generals looked at Dong Wu with even a trace of resentment.

After three days, the moat was about to be filled, and the defenders of the city gradually adapted to the attack of the thunderbolts, hiding behind the female wall and shivering, under the power of the boulder, the strength of man was vulnerable.

The generals in the Dunhuang army were at such times, and their dissatisfaction with Dong Wu was even stronger, especially the news spread by the fine work in the city, which made many generals have more yearning for joining the King of Jin, and the sergeants and soldiers privately discussed the army around the city.

Dong Wu also sensed that something was wrong, if this situation continued, Dunhuang would definitely be difficult to hold, and he could only pin his hopes on the reinforcements going to the countries of the Western Regions.
