Liaoxi, the atmosphere in the city of Kaiyi.

However, there has been no improvement or change because of the thrilling surrender and counterattack results of the previous battle.

On the contrary, because of some kind of "I will definitely be slaughtered" and "I don't know how to retaliate", the threat and sense of urgency that have been materialized are still there

Shrouded in superficial tension and a certain undercurrent of uneasiness.

And even after the Pinglu army took over part of the city defense and relaxed the control of the inner city, the young feudal who was heavily protected

The Lord and his mother still did not show up or publicly uplift their morale.

On the contrary, from the hands of the three temporary presiding officers of the outer city, more resources and manpower were taken away, and the construction of the inner city defense began to be increased and strengthened

, and gradually transfer and hoard supplies, which can't help but make more soldiers and civilians not have much to continue to hold this city

of hope.

The houses and other buildings near the city walls have been demolished as artillery stones, and the buildings on both sides of the main street have been demolished and renovated

built; At the nodes of various street intersections and lanes, barricades composed of dug roads and debris appeared.

Because, even if most of the equipment in the camp outside the city was destroyed, it was unable to organize the opponent's cave siege, and it was already in the east and south

On the city wall, more than a dozen large and small cracks were created.

The brief change of hands at the head of the city has become more and more frequent. It's almost the bloody front foot rushing down here, and the other side roaring from the other end

Killing again, it's like pressing a gourd to float up the scoop, which makes people tired of taking care of one or the other.

And as a three-pronged pile of soil under the wall, it has also advanced to a distance of half a wall, and those Luo clans and princes' soldiers and horses can go directly

Rush up the dirt slope, and then easily set up the head of the city, or throw your weapon into the battlements.

"If the eldest prince is still there, it will be better......"

"At least I won't hide like this......"

A muttering voice in the corner of the wall was heard by Xue Anren, the leader of the feudal guards patrolling the inner city, and he immediately stepped forward with some annoyance and whipped hard

The other party scraped his ears and kicked them out.

"Bastard ...... who doesn't know whether it's alive or dead"

"There has never been a ...... of the eldest prince"

"The orthodoxy of the Xue clan is only the young feudal lord of the relatives......"

Then he yelled at the few people around him with shocked or dazed expressions

"This kind of nonsense is not something that you can pass on lightly......"

"What I heard was nothing more than a bitter meal......"

"If it reaches the ears of the inner house, you will be blessed......

But in any case, it has only been a few years. For ordinary retainers, feudal soldiers, and vassals under the domain

The eldest prince who always likes to take the lead and charge ahead is always longer than the one who has been hiding in the inner courtyard of the deep house since he was a child, and is longer than the hands of women

The young feudal lord who showed his face in public from afar, and then inherited the position of the patriarch step by step, was much more presence.

Therefore, in a certain situation, it is inevitable that someone will be punished for accidentally revealing their mouths, and even some people will be punished for this

lost his head, and was regarded as a sinner who confused the hearts of the army, and became one of the heads of the hanging city.

Of course, this kind of secrecy can only make people shut up on the surface, but it will inevitably cause another backlash in private.

Suddenly, there was a wave of surprise and uproar from the city, and the little episode was suddenly covered up.

But it was a man and horse with distinct clothes and armor, and a different mental outlook and style, and drove into the besieged camp in front of the east gate.

It's just that the other party's banner of purple lightning and red flame made the few people who knew about it inevitably feel some kind of pressure in shock

Force.

"Invincible? ……”

"It's the Huaidong Army"

"Why is this generation here again......"

After arranging the matters of staying behind and subsequent construction, when I led my troops to Kaiyi City, I found that although there was still an atmosphere of slaughter here

Ma Ronglu, but there is a low-pressure atmosphere.

There are vaguely traces of uncleaned up, fierce battles and burning, and the soldiers who are running around are a little lazy

Road.

In an inconspicuous tent, I met the pale and frail feudal lord Luo Zhanji, who waved his hand to make everyone else retreat

Get out.

"Carelessly, I was counterattacked by the villains in the city."

Then he said to me with some self-deprecation

"It's a joke......"

"It's just a small setback......

I was relieved. On the way over, of course, I heard a little bit about what had happened.

"Aren't the soldiers and horses under the command of the feudal family still strong......

"Majestic soldiers? ……”

He smiled wryly.

"Most of them are too tired to move...... How majestic is it?"

"After all, we still have to rely on your strength......"

"I don't know what I want to do......

I asked. At least it is absolutely impossible for my troops to attack fortifications and fight street battles, this is not my war.

"I have heard that the military horses of Huai Town are good at using gunpowder, and it is very effective to break mountains and stones......"

"Oh,"

I was slightly surprised that he still had this kind of insight and information channel. You know, mine has been controlled and suppressed, with gunpowder

Attack any related messages.

"It's good to be able to open the city with less cost and time......"

Luo Zhanji continued to plead

"I have my own cooking and advocacy for the follow-up......"

I groaned for a moment, feeling that this request was a bit difficult to answer.

"The corresponding reimbursement and remuneration will definitely not be less......"

He apparently didn't have much patience for the status quo and continued to add weight.

"At least after the breakdown, how will the disposal of half of the city be ......"

"And all the women's selection ......"

Well, although this Luo Domain Lord is not very good in military strategy, he is still quite impressive in other aspects.

"This military has already dug eight acupuncture paths......

The next day, Jin Fu, the construction officer of Luo Fan, stood beside me and said respectfully

"Three of them collapsed ,......"

"Focus, focus on ......"

I said impatiently.

"Yes Yes ......"

He nodded......

"There are still two ...... that can still be used"

The corresponding positions are at the left corner of the five hundred and sixty steps...... and seven hundred and twenty-three steps"

"That's enough......"

Another voice next to me said.

"Because the walls themselves are already cracked......"

"We just need to control the direction of the detonation......"

His name is Ling Zhen, he looks like a simple old farmer, but he is good at blasting the engineering regiment, as the price of this profession, his most conspicuous thing is that the few fingers on his left hand were destroyed by the explosion, and they looked uneven and bare.

"Then get them ready......"

I commanded.

"This time, you don't want to go down in person......"

"I'm afraid it's not ......"

Ling Zhen said to me.

"If you want to dispense more accurately, blow up the right position......"

"I was asked to go and see it myself......

"Whether it is the material of the wall foundation or the composition of the earth color, it needs to be judged on the spot......"

"Then be careful......

I didn't discourage him too much from his professional enthusiasm and persistence.

After all, there is still a considerable difference between the safety explosives of the new ******** and the refined black powder that we have always used.

Soon after, the slight tremor caused the dust and fine gravel on the ground to jump and sprinkle all over my feet; Then I saw that near the doorway, a large part of the city wall, which was already several cracks, suddenly sank downward.

Then a myriad of dust and debris erupted from the base of the wall, followed by a violent shake, along with the panicked human body and equipment on it. Flags and supplies slowly broke and fell down together.

ultimately

In the midst of the billowing smoke and dust, a large amount of rubble and rubble faintly appeared, and a steep slope formed by the improvised impact appeared, and a huge gap dozens of paces wide appeared on the upper leaf of the towering city wall.

And on the city wall next to the gap, there was hardly any figure that could stand;

Then the feudal army, which had already lined up and was ready to enter the city, was almost overjoyed and excited, and rushed into the sky like a chicken blood in the sound of the horn and trumpet, and appeared in a swarm of bees.

At this time, the defenders of the Xue clan in the city seemed to have not been able to recover from the violent shock of the collapse of the city wall, and only a few arrows were shot out, but they landed on the fresh and bare wall blank without accuracy.

But as a rear-view spectator, I had a strange intuition that the hard-fought battle didn't end so easily, or that it had just begun.
