After all, the battlefield is in the territory of Yuzhang, so after the outbreak of the war, it is equivalent to all the official affairs on the side of Zhenrong can only be put aside, and attention can only be placed on the battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The time has dragged on, not to mention the farming and government affairs on the side of Dirong, even the construction of Buddhist temples and other things that Dirong has been working on have to stop.

Therefore, seeing that there was no movement on Zhu Wei's side, Zhenrong's side could only take the initiative to attack.

Probably on the sixth day of the confrontation between the two armies, Zhu Rong ordered 13,000 main Buddhist soldiers and 20,000 Dharma Protector Civilians to press in the direction of Zhu Wei's camp, wanting to have a decisive battle with Zhu Wei's army.

But this time, Zhu Wei did not go out of the camp to fight, but only with the help of the camp wall built like a fortress, and he had an offensive and defensive battle.

In Zhu Wei's army, there were about 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, including many craftsmen brought by Zhu Wei from Liyang, so under Wang Yuyan's arrangement, according to Zhu Wei's rough sketch of torsion trebuchets drawn before, nearly 100 trebuchets that can be called "thunderbolts" were researched and created.

In this way, it was erected in the Zhu Wei military camp, and a large number of gravel and pebbles were thrown at the Zhenrong army array that attacked outside the camp, and they were thrown from the air like a rain of falling stones, and smashed on the heads of the Buddhist soldiers and the Dharma Protector Army.

Although these trebuchets do not throw rocks and rock balls, these gravel and pebbles have a larger attack range and have a greater impact on the hearts of the Zhenrong army.

Well, in fact, the research of trebuchets has not been completely successful, so for the time being, it is not possible to shoot too heavy rock blocks, rock balls, etc., and can only throw fine stones and pebbles, and the attack range is at most three or four hundred paces.

But for the time being, it is enough, at least the more than 30,000 Buddha soldiers and the Dharma Protector People's Army have not been able to get close to Zhu Wei's camp, and most of them have been smashed by falling rocks and bleeding.

After passing the gravel and pebble area thrown by the trebuchet, you will have to face the ditch dug outside the camp and the rain of arrows shot by the archers on the wall of the camp, which is really fatal.

Zhen Rong led troops to invite the battle this time, but he was not prepared to storm Zhu Wei's camp, so he tried to fight once, and finally sounded the gong to withdraw the troops.

As a result, this time Zhenrong left more than 1,000 corpses in front of Zhu Wei's military camp, which was another small loss.

After this time, Zhu Wei's army was still in the camp, and Zhenrong's side couldn't think of conquering Zhu Wei's camp like a turtle shell for the time being.

Of course, in the war, both sides have gathered a large number of young and strong people, so every day is consuming a lot of food and materials, even if there is no war, it is also a kind of war base fight.

Although Zhu Wei's side claims to be an army of 100,000, there are actually more than 20,000 people in the camp, and the two camps on the water and land sides of Zhenrong add up to 60,000 or 70,000 people.

Compared with this consumption, the daily consumption of Zhu Rong's side is obviously much more than that of Zhu Wei's side.

Although Di Rong didn't know how much Zhu Wei spent every day, anyway, he was still unwilling to waste such a fight, so at night one day, Di Rong sent troops again to prepare for a night attack on Zhu Wei's military camp.

This is already the twelfth day of the confrontation between the two armies of Zhu Wei and Zhenrong.

Different from the two camps of Zhurong Water and Land, the camps on Zhu Wei's side have become more and more solid as a chai fort with the continuation of time.

Obviously, Wang Yuyan didn't mean to fight hard with Zhenrong in the battle formation at all, that is, to prepare for Hezheng to waste time.

It would be better if Zhen Rong took the initiative to fight, and Zhu Wei's side could take advantage of the advantage of defensive warfare to kill and injure a large number of Zhen Rong's soldiers in a way that would minimize his own losses.

Although Wang Yuyan asked people to build a "thunderbolt" based on the basic principle of a torsion trebuchet, because many gears and other structural structures have not been thoroughly studied, the power of the trebuchet is insufficient, but it is enough to defend the camp.

In this way, after experiencing the setback of that strong attack, Zhenrong did not dare to rush into Zhu Wei's military camp.

It's not okay to be clear, Zhenrong is ready to play yin.

It was almost the fourth watch in the early morning of this day, before the sky was bright, and it was the time when people were most sleepy, and five or six thousand main Buddhist soldiers and more than 20,000 Dharma protectors came out of the land camp in Zhenrong, one by one, biting hemp rods in their mouths, holding ropes in their hands, pushing some cars piled with earth and stones, and touching them in the direction of Zhu Wei's military camp.

At the same time, in the water village of Zhu Rong, the gate of the village was also quietly opened, and about 20 ships carrying troops with more than 10,000 main Buddhist soldiers of Zhu Rong sailed along the Yuzhang River to the rear of Zhu Wei's military camp, as if they wanted to bypass the camp wall of the main gate of Zhu Wei's camp and go around to the rear to sneak attack Zhu Wei's military camp.

This can be regarded as a big move for the whole army to be dispatched.

Let's not talk about the ships that transported troops out of the Rongshui Village, but only that the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses that came out of the Ronglu camp couldn't make too much noise without lighting torches and biting the hemp pole in their mouths.

However, there are also Han lanterns hanging outside the walls of Zhu Wei's barracks, and the guards who are keeping vigil are still dutiful, so when the army of Zhenrong's sneak attack is still more than fifty steps away from the barracks of the barracks, it seems that something strange has been discovered.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

A warning bell rang, and torches suddenly lit up in Zhu Wei's camp, and then a "thunderbolt... Thunderbolt...", the catapult twisted and twisted, with the sound of the catapult lever cutting through the air, and pieces of gravel and pebbles were thrown out of Zhu Wei's military camp.

It turned out that Zhu Wei's camp had already been prepared, and he deliberately waited until the Zhenrong army approached before he suddenly launched.

As a result, the gravel and pebbles almost covered the heads of all the soldiers of Zhenrong like scattered flowers of the goddess, and the Buddhist soldiers and the Protector People's Army under Zhenrong were originally not wearing helmets, and they were smashed on their heads one by one by gravel and pebbles, either with blood bags or with broken heads.

Many people fell directly to the ground in pain, and then were trampled and trampled to death by their own people in the chaos, and suffered heavy losses like the last attack on Zhu Wei's camp.

Only those main Buddhist soldiers have shields in their hands, but they can hold the shield above their heads to protect their heads, but the falling rocks like rain inevitably make a "dong dong" sound on their hand shields, which also makes their left hands feel a lot of difficulty, and their hearts are a little panicked.

But Di Rong was still unwilling to retreat, so he forced his soldiers to charge, rushed to the front of Zhu Wei's camp, filled the ditch with the sand he brought, and rushed to the camp wall to climb the wall and attack.

Soon Zhu Wei made another big move in the camp......
