Yang Guang's eyebrows raised and asked, "Isn't that hollow city wall easy to collapse?" Wouldn't it be easy to let our army's catapults smash against those sandwich walls? ”

Laihu'er Zhengse said: "The Holy Lord should know that these sandwich walls are just some small rooms only a few feet wide that are temporarily dug in some parts of the city wall, not the entire city wall is hollow, and when observing, only one brick is extracted, and after reading it, the bricks will be filled back, and even these dug sandwich walls will be refilled on the city wall to increase the thickness and strength of the city wall." ”

Yang Guang understood this time, and sighed: "So, is it unlikely that he will hit those sandwich walls?" Even if it hits, it won't be possible to collapse the entire city wall at once. ”

Laihu'er immediately replied: "Shengshang Shengming, so our army's rain-like attack, on the one hand, is to suppress the enemy army at the head of the city, on the other hand, it is also to try its luck, maybe just hit a sandwich wall, there is a possibility of collapsing a section of the city wall, the first few sieges of the city, our army has accidentally collapsed two sections of the city wall, smashed out a few zhang wide gap, but for our army, this width is still not enough, the Wei army is desperately resisting, and finally plugged the gap. ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he pointed to the opening of a brick wall about half a zhang wide on the west city wall, which was obviously a newly built brick wall, and said, "What Chongshan said is this gap?" ”

Lai Hu'er nodded and said: "Yes, this is the opening, after smashing this section at once, our army was exhausted, desperately trying to attack it, Xu Gai also did not hesitate to casualties, and transferred the most elite family troops, and we died at this opening, and even sent a lot of death squads to go down the city." Cutting off the back road of our army and creating chaos, the people in the city erected new fences while fighting, and so on, and then they set up three fences in a row before they tied up the opening. Half of the corpses of our army piled up under the city were left behind during that breach! ”

Yang Guang sighed, and said: "It's a pity, Chongshan, you should know the current situation in the world, time waits for no one, under the fortified city, it has always been a taboo for soldiers, our army has not much food and grass, Li Mi will come to support Liyang at any time, our army is now to grab time, if there is such a good opportunity in the future, you must seize the fighter, even if you pay a big price, you must enter from the gap!" ”

Lai Hu'er respectfully promised: "The old minister obeys the holy order!" ”

"Chongshan, didn't you dig a tunnel to attack? Did it fail too!? Yang Guang suddenly remembered and asked.

Lai Hu'er slapped his thigh and said hatefully: "I'm afraid that Wei Jun has already guarded against our move!" When our army was digging tunnels with hoes, they deliberately pretended not to find out, and when our army was ready to attack the city gate from the tunnel at night, they were beaten by the Wei army lying in ambush, and our army lost more than 1,000 elite jumping soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang asked regretfully: "Is the depth of the tunnel you dug too shallow?" I have read from the military book that digging tunnels should not be too deep, otherwise it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to collapse, and if digging too shallow, it will destroy the roots of plants, make the plants wither, or the ground will shake, causing the enemy to be alert. ”

Lai Hu'er shook his head and said: "Lao Chen has been fighting on the march for many years, and he still has this experience, according to Lao Chen, our tunnel attack should have been cracked by the people in the city using Weng Ting's method!" It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, and they have long been on guard against this method of our army digging tunnels to attack the city! The Wei army must have dug a secret passage in the city early, placed the large urn underground, and then covered the large urn with a layer of cowhide, and sent special personnel to monitor it at all times. The result speaks for itself, our army not only failed, but also lost a lot of effort and time for this! ”

Yang Guang hooked his lips and said, "This Xu Gai is just a businessman, and he still has this ability?" ”

Lai Hu'er replied: "According to the old minister's view, this Liyang Cangcheng is well guarded, the city defense has been repaired a lot on the original basis, the city wall has been increased by three feet, the thickness has been increased a little, and even the road in the city has been widened, it seems that these should be Xu Shiji's preparations early!" ”

Yang Guangjiang narrowed his eyes into a slit and said, "It seems that this Xu Shiji has not been idle in the past few months in Liyang!" In this way, it is not possible for our army to take tricks, we have to fill in with human lives and attack until the Wei army can no longer support it? ”

Lai Hu'er hugged his fists and said: "Yes, our army wants to take Liyang now, and it is a little stupid to attack stupidly, but it is the most direct and effective way!" Our army is strong, and the old minister asked the Holy Lord to personally make a heavy promise to the soldiers, increase the rewards and combat exploits by three times the usual amount, and give high-ranking officials generous gifts to the warriors who took the lead in the city, so as to stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight! ”

Yang Guang agreed: "No problem! Who led the team in the attack today? ”

Lai Hu'er replied: "It's Yu Wenshi!" ”

Yang Guang nodded and said: "Okay, I will personally go to his phalanx to speak, for meritorious warriors, I will never be stingy with rewards!" ”

As he was talking, the sound of stones attacking the wall in the distance gradually became quieter, and at the foot of the city wall, in addition to the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies, it was covered with a layer of stones of varying thicknesses, more than two feet high, which was exactly the result of today's stone throwing after the siege, the city wall was smashed everywhere There were potholes, at least dozens of battlements disappeared directly, and the flagpoles of the Wei army were all broken. The whole city looked empty, except for the dark and damp corners of the battlements, where the weeds growing on the moss were still fluttering in the wind, showing tenacious vitality.

Yang Guang shook his head and asked, "Why, are all the stones running out so quickly?" Liyang is close to the Grand Canal, I remember that there are a lot of stones on the riverbank, so there should be no shortage of ammunition, right? ”

Lai Hu'er explained: "Shengshang, our army is attacking the city from all sides, there are more than 200 trebuchets set up, the amount of stones consumed is amazing, and until now, the stone strike effect is no longer obvious, next, our army is going to use arrows to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, covering the infantry to attack the city!" ”

Yang Guang said softly "oh" and said, "Chongshan, you are a handsome, how to fight the battle, you have the final say, I will not interfere with your command." I am here to oversee and boost morale, and see how the soldiers of the three armies will build this Liyang Cangcheng for me! ”

Hearing this, Lai Hu'er saw that Yang Guang still trusted him very much, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice to the herald beside him: "Order, bow and arrow suppression, fifty rounds of rapid attacks, no living Wei army is allowed to come up to defend the city!" ”
