It's been four days since the last time I fought with the Fox Mountain Bandits in the field. During these four days, there were no large-scale battles between Saigo and Fox Mountain. There were not even skirmishes, and the scene was harmonious.

During these four days, the sappers of Saigo, with the assistance of the prisoners of war, swaggered to build siege equipment in front of the Hushan bandits. Since the front of Fox Mountain is a plain, many siege equipment can be used.

The walled wall of Hushan is relatively low, and in order to be in a hurry, the siege equipment made by Xixiang has been simplified a lot, and it is very quickly made. Four days have passed, and the rest of the siege equipment has been completed, except for the ladder truck, which needs to be transformed.

In fact, it stands to reason that the defender should send troops to attack and burn the siege equipment while the attacker's siege equipment is not yet completed. After all, siege engines are too much of a threat to the defenders. But the fox mountain thieves who had been beaten by Xixiang were scared and didn't dare to come out. This made Liu Ye, who secretly ambushed the two soldiers on both sides of the engineer camp to prepare for a counter-sneak attack, a little disappointed.

But Liu Ye doesn't care. Knowing the dangers of siege equipment, he didn't want to go out and destroy it, but just hid in the city and pretended to be ostriches. This kind of enemy who doesn't even grasp the last glimmer of hope and only cares about waiting for death for a long time, to be honest, Liu Ye really doesn't look down on it.

Although most of the siege equipment has been made, the transformation of the ladder truck has not yet been completed. The renovated ladder truck is related to the success or failure of this plan. Therefore, Liu Ye paid special attention and personally came to the engineer camp to inspect.

"Engineer Wang (someone's bad taste set up an official position. Can the renovation of five ladder trucks be completed in the afternoon? In front of the busy engineer barracks, Liu Ye asked an old man with white hair.

"No, the part that the Lord wants to rebuild needs to disassemble and reassemble the ladder truck. But as you can see, the weather is hot today, and the POWs are less efficient. Wang Ying held a drawing in his left hand, stroked the white beard with his right hand, and shook his head after thinking for a while.

"What? It's not done! That's not going to work. The retrofit ladder truck can be simplified. Remove some unnecessary protection, as long as you can get to the city. It must be done by the evening, and these ladder trucks are the difference between success and failure tonight! Liu Ye said anxiously.

"But it's so hot today, if you force the prisoners to work all the time, they will die of heat. Unless the Lord allows a few prisoners to die in the sapper camp. In this way, the old man can ensure that the task is completed on time! Wang Ying said coldly. is worthy of Wang Yan's relatives, and he didn't take the lives of prisoners of war seriously at all. Bai had a kind face.

Of course, Liu Ye, whose heart was already black, would not care about the lives of a few captives, so he happily agreed.

After the transformation of the ladder truck was finalized, in order for tonight's plan to go smoothly, Liu Ye had to exhaust these fox mountain thieves.

"Pass on this monarch's order, let Fan Fake Sima start attacking the city!" Liu Ye ordered.

After receiving the order, the attendant next to him immediately left.

……

"The Lord has an order! Prepare for the siege! Trumpet! Fan Yong yelled.

"Woooooooooooo The horn sounded. More than 600 soldiers from Xixiang entered their respective posts and prepared to attack the city.

"Bed Crossbow Attack!" Fan Yong ordered.

"Pull the crossbow strings, hurry up!" The bed crossbow captain yelled.

After hearing the order of the captain of the bed crossbow, more than 50 Tuntian soldiers who had been requisitioned used their strength to winch the winch, pulled the crossbow string apart, and hung it on the teeth.

"Catch the bolt, the shooter aim." Seeing that the eight bed crossbows had been pulled in place, the bed crossbow captain continued to order.

After the archers had reloaded their short spear-like arrows, they began to aim through the lookout hill on the bed crossbow. The shooters adjusted the bed crossbow to a certain angle and then retreated, and the attackers with sledgehammers stepped forward to fire.

Due to the low accuracy of the bed crossbow, a salvo was required to exert its power.

"Wind!" Seeing that the bed crossbows were ready, the bed crossbow captain yelled.

The attacker with a sledgehammer used all his strength to hammer on the trigger (the strength of the human hand cannot pull the trigger (Su Qing and Luan Meng do not count). )

"Whoosh!" Eight giant arrows like short spears flew directly towards the fox cottage.

However, Xixiang's luck seems to be bad today, the first round of shooting is not very good, three giant arrows fell in front of the wall, three giant arrows hit the wall, and the other two shot into the inside of the fox cottage, causing a chicken and dog jump.

The first round of all the shots made the bed crossbow captain's face a little unbearable. The captain of the bed crossbow scolded angrily: "Recalibrate the hand, find the right angle for Lao Tzu first, who will fuck disgrace Lao Tzu again, see how Lao Tzu cleans him up when he goes back!" ”

On the other side, the Fox Mountain thieves were not happy that the bed crossbow was missed. Instead, he became frightened, and the three giant arrows that hit the wall of the wall actually went straight through the wall. The fox mountain thief, who had seen this weapon for the first time, was immediately frightened. Some fox thieves even knelt down and worshiped the ghosts and gods on the spot.

However, it seems that the prayers of the fox mountain thieves did not trigger the blessing of the gods. A second wave of eight giant arrows fired. Compared with the first wave, the second wave is significantly larger.

Three giant arrows shot directly into the guards guarding the wall, and immediately set off a bloody storm. The fox mountain thieves were directly shot through by the flying giant arrows like paper paste. Seven or eight Fox Mountain thieves died on the spot, and each giant arrow was hung with a few Fox Mountain Thieves who were already dead. When the rest of the surviving fox mountain thieves saw this tragic scene, they immediately panicked. And the leaders of the surrounding fox mountain thieves forgot to press for a while. The scene suddenly fell into a state of spiral out of control.

Another round of giant arrows flew in, and this time it took the lives of more than a dozen fox mountain thieves. Although there is no shortage of bandits in the Fox Mountain Bandits, outlaws are not afraid of death. But that doesn't mean they can stand standing still and dying. The fox mountain thieves guarding the walled wall suddenly collapsed.

At this moment, Suning also rushed over with the leaders to hear the inquiry. Seeing the defeated Fox Mountain bandits, the leaders did not hesitate to draw their swords and slash several deserters. This frightened the fox mountain thieves who were about to escape.

"Hurry up and go back!" Suning yelled hideously.

"Great Chief, the West Country Thieves outside used a strange cart to shoot a giant arrow like a short spear, and when the giant arrow hit it, there was a bloody hole, and they couldn't stop it. Brothers, I'm so scared! A small leader of the Fox Mountain Thieves trembled and said.

The words of the little boss were approved by many fox mountain thieves around.

"Smack!" With a bang, Suning slapped the little boss directly in the face.

Suning scolded angrily: "Fool, won't you lie down to defend against giant arrows?" ”

"This?" For this way of defending against giant arrows, the fox mountain thieves really haven't tried it. They were all stupefied.

"Get back to so-and-so, get on your stomach! Who retreats, kills whom? Suning continued to yell. And the rest of the Fox Mountain Bandit leaders on the side also acquiesced to Suning's behavior. After all, in terms of command, they are really not as good as Suning. Now that it is a matter of life and death, these leaders will not be stupid enough to start infighting at this time.

After being threatened and intimidated by the leaders and a group of cronies, these fox mountain thieves were driven back to the wall. Then the bed crossbow fired two more waves, but because the fox mountain thieves were lying on their stomachs, the casualties were reduced a lot. Invisibly, Suning's prestige has also increased a lot in the hearts of the fox mountain thieves.

The bed crossbow does not allow unlimited fire. If you shoot continuously, you can easily damage the string. After firing five waves of crossbow arrows, Fan Yong stopped shooting the bed crossbow because he could not expand the results of the battle.

"All siege!" Fan Yong yelled and ordered.

More than 100 new soldiers slowly moved towards the fox cottage with the well cart. Since it was only a simple well cart, there were no arrow boards on both sides of the cart to protect the pushers, so Fan Yong had to arrange a team of new guards with large shields in both hands next to the new pawns of the cart to be responsible for blocking arrows.

The well is full of shortbowmen, who are responsible for suppressing the archers of the Fox Mountain bandits. He was accompanied by two long archers, who could not shoot for long. In this battle, the longbowmen were used as auxiliary troops.

In addition, the rushing convoy composed of heavily armed sword and shield soldiers also slowly drove towards the Zhaimen.

There are also assault teams composed of light soldiers and spear and shield soldiers who temporarily use tortoiseshell anti-arrow arrays to stay behind the rushing convoy (light soldiers and spear and shield soldiers are mainly leather armor, and their anti-arrow ability is far inferior to that of heavy sword and shield soldiers. Once the gate is breached, they will cooperate with the heavily armed sword and shield soldiers in front of them to break into the interior of Fox Mountain.

The tense siege battle began.
