The battle to defend the city was destined to be passive and helpless, but the powerful siege equipment of the Song army made the two armies not meet each other, and the Zheng army suffered a lot of casualties.

For him, it had never happened in the past, and it was a merciless humiliation.

What's worse, the corridor of the city wall is full of stones falling from the sky, which seriously hinders the activities of the Zheng army, and if the Song army attacks Shiyan City next, it will be very inconvenient for the Zheng army to move in the corridor.

Moreover, although Shiyan City was strong, it could not withstand the bombardment of the Song army's artillery Lin Shiyu, and he did not know how long the defense of Shiyan City's city walls could hold out under the Song army's fierce attack.

If it can be supported for a long time, it is fine, but if it cannot be supported for a long time, Zheng Jun can only rely on his flesh and blood to form a human wall to defend, then there will inevitably be a very tragic war next.

Once the people in Shiyan City fought to the death, the Song army paid huge casualties, and finally the city was broken, according to Song Qi's character, it was bound to cause the Song army to massacre the city.

Thinking that in Shiyan City, hundreds of thousands of Zheng soldiers and millions of people would disappear with this city, he was both worried and sad, and it was not too much to say that his heart was like a knife.

For half an hour, whether it is fast or not, whether it is slow or slow, for the two armies in different situations, the feelings are completely different.

Time passed in a hurry, and when the time set by Meng Kuo was up, Bai Yufei waved his flag and signaled the prepared troops to attack,

He personally controlled a siege tower, steadily and quickly moved towards Shiyan City, and he participated in many battles that changed the situation of the vassal states and will be widely spread in future generations, but he has never been so enthusiastic as today.

Soon, under the cover of the stone-throwing troops, under the guidance of Bai Yufei's non-exemplary style, many siege towers slowly set out, followed by three-bow bed crossbows and siege ladders.

These ordnance are similar to the stone thrower, they are very large, especially the siege tower and the ladder, the siege tower is several zhang high, with the internal mechanical movement, the speed is not very fast, but very steady, as long as it is close to the city wall, the soldier operates the iron hook above, hooked on the city wall.

The whole siege tower is like a staircase erected, closely connected with the city wall, the ground Song army, through the steps in the tower, step by step quickly run to the top of the tower, and then through the built bridge, directly ascend the city wall.

Therefore, the siege tower is not how powerful the attack is, but its convenience, which can instantly turn the city wall several feet high, the place where it is difficult to climb, into a simple passage, and kill it with lightning speed.

Of course, if the Zheng army blocks the soldiers in the tower, there are crossbowmen at the top of the siege tower, and there is a very good partition defense to ensure that the Song army can hide and attack, and ensure that it is in a safe situation.

The ladder is not an ordinary ladder, no need for soldiers to carry it on their shoulders, but like a specific mountain, one side is erected, after approaching the city wall, it is directly close to the city wall, and the other side, it is all steps, the interior is like a box, when moving forward, the Song army is all hidden in the middle, no need to defend against the Zheng army's arrow rain attack, to ensure personal safety.

Once the ladder was close to the city wall, the Song army appeared from both sides, turned around and went directly to the mountain, holding a blade, passing through the ladder steps, and quickly ran up the city wall.

The most terrifying thing about this siege machine is that it is close to the city wall, no matter how strong the city wall is, for them, it is like walking on the ground, there is no need to forcibly attack the city at all, with the back of the three-bow bed crossbow to suppress the enemy army, you can easily climb the city wall.

The Song army had these two siege equipment to capture the city, and there were three bow bed crossbows and stone throwers behind to suppress the defense, and the offensive and defensive ends were almost flawless.

No matter who sees the situation of the Song army, they will feel that they will definitely win, even Meng Kuo, who is sitting in the treadmill and leisurely drinking tea, also feels that the Zheng army refuses to defend the city, and under the strong attack of the Song army's mechanical army, it will eventually fall short and the whole city will fall.

Sensing that the stones in the air were decreasing, the bold Zheng Jun came out and probed the situation under the city wall through the gap between the wall battlements.

The person who was close to Xing Yike couldn't help but stammer, and said, "Will... General, Song army, Song army siege city. ”

These siege machines look tall and dangerous when they are far away, but when they do move, they become terrifying, and you can directly witness the operation methods, and you can even see the three-bow bed crossbow behind the partition of the siege tower.

For a time, many people in the Zheng army felt that according to the strength of the Zheng army, they were not able to resist the other party at all.

Xing Yike heard the reminder of the soldiers beside him, cautiously poked out half of his head, and saw the fierce defense outside, and couldn't help but take a breath, these big guys looked very strong, relying only on boulders, bed crossbows, bows and arrows, they couldn't restrain at all.

However, Xing Yike knew very well in his heart that at this time, outsiders were qualified to panic, only he must not panic, otherwise the main general would panic, and it would definitely cause chaos in the army, and the situation would be even worse at that time, maybe if he couldn't wait for Ju Wentai to act, this Shiyan City would become the bag of the Song army.

Coughing heavily, Xing Yike shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, the archers are ready, and the Song army will show up and shoot quickly." The bed crossbowmen acted quickly, striving to kill the Song army at the top of the siege tower, and the others quickly brought up the fire oil and boiling water, and the Song army's equipment approached and poured it directly, and all that could be burned was burned, and if it could not be burned, boiling water was poured down from the city wall, striving to expand the casualties of the Song army. ”

As soon as the order is issued, the whole army moves quickly, under the current situation, Xing Yike can only do this, ordinary equipment, can not break the Song army's siege equipment at all, only rely on fire to attack, the Song army has a large number of siege equipment, once the war starts, how much can be burned.

After all, this is originally a life-and-death war, not only fighting for armaments and combat effectiveness, but also fighting for the will to fight.

Before the siege tower approached the city walls, many Zheng troops who controlled the bed crossbows were the first to attack, striving to quickly eliminate the Song army at the top of the tower.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two armies have not yet met with swords, slaughter one more Song army, and then, when the other party attacks the city, the Zheng army may suffer one less casualty.

Under the city wall, the three-bow bed crossbow and the stone thrower troops behind began to act again, and today, the role of the two is to steadily suppress the Zheng army on the city wall, from reducing the siege pressure of the front army.

Therefore, if the Zheng army at the head of the city dares to come forward, the soldiers in the two armies will definitely deal a heavy blow mercilessly to ensure that the Song army will seize control of the city wall with minimal casualties.

The rear army of the Song army exerted its strength again, the overwhelming stones fell, and the spears were like flying fish stings, which instantly made the situation on the city wall become grim again, and the Zheng army, which was shuttling back and forth, almost became a live target for the Song army to move.

Three-bow bed crossbow attack, those soldiers who rise to the top, may encounter the danger of life.

Once hit, the huge impact will not only penetrate Zheng Jun's body, but also knock the opponent away, and it is not too much to directly impact the city.

And hundreds of stone throwers attack at the same time, especially each groove contains more than ten stones, after launching, spread out in the air, like a heavenly girl mountain flower, it looks beautiful, but it can fall on the city wall, but the lethality is incalculable.

Some smashed on the soldier's head, some smashed on the waist, and after landing, under the heavy shock, bounced up and smashed on the soldier's thigh, all kinds of injuries and deaths, so that the Zheng army, who was wholeheartedly facing the battle, suffered heavy casualties, and there was a mess in the corridor of the city wall.

However, Zheng Jun must be a force with a strong mind and perseverance, and it has the spirit of preferring to die in battle, not giving in, and defending the country.

When they acted, even if they looked panicked, they were all veterans of a hundred battles on the battlefield, not to mention that many people had defeated the Song army on the battlefield, so they were afraid of their lives and the rapid attack of the Song army's machinery, but they were holding their breath in their hearts.

As the saying goes, the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, the backbone can not be lost, in the battlefield, since the ordnance is not as good as the people, they will fight for combat effectiveness, fight for will, the war is started, and they must use actions to explain that Zheng Guoren is not afraid of life, not afraid of death, in order to resist foreign enemies, in order to defend the dignity of the country, can sacrifice their lives and forget the tradition.

Perhaps, because of the glorious tradition, no matter what the princes' army, if they want to control and capture the territory of Zheng State, they must defeat the Zheng people who will not die in a hundred battles and are not afraid of death in a hundred battles, otherwise, they will not want to seize an inch of land from Zheng State, unless the city is in ruins, and all the people and soldiers in the city are killed.

Therefore, today the Zheng army wants to take the city, unless they are all killed.

Those who were wounded, or killed on the spot, were quickly carried down by the soldiers next to them, and their places were quickly filled, and the situation in the aisle was chaotic, but it was chaotic, not headless flies scurrying around.

What's more, under the brutal suppression of the Song army, even if the situation is in crisis, the archers and crossbowmen are still fighting back.

Soon, groups of soldiers, together with many people who formed a contingent of spontaneous formations, risked being stoned to death at any moment, carrying fire oil and boiling water, shuttling through the corridors of the city wall, placing them close to the city wall to prevent them from being broken by the rocks in the air.

At this time, Xing Yike looked at the blood of the soldiers and the people with their lives, and sighed in his heart, if it weren't for Zheng Guo's bad luck, there were such soldiers and civilians who were not afraid of life and death, who could help Zheng Guo.

It's a pity that the battle of Bishan was defeated, the battle of Liangmingguan was defeated, and Zheng Guo's fortune seemed to be wiped out all at once.

Glancing up at the siege towers and ladders that were slowly approaching in the distance, Xing Yike said to the deputy general beside him: "Quickly and gradually death squad, when the Song army's siege ordnance approached, quickly poured all the fire oil on it, lit the torch and threw it directly, this general wants to see, in the flames, does the Song army have the ability to be reborn from the fire." ”

Xing Yike didn't know where the weakness of the Song Army's mechanized legion was, but he knew very well that the fire could burn everything.

Perhaps, if the Zheng army wanted to defeat the Song army and win the defense battle, the only way to cause a fire was to cause a fire.
