Diaoyu City is actually a huge stone mountain, the circumference of the whole mountain is five miles, the Yangtze River meanders through the mountain, around the Diaoyu Mountain draw a "several" shape, Diaoyu Mountain is just wrapped in the word "several", forming a peninsula, so the Diaoyu City is surrounded by water on three sides, and the three sides of the water are as high as dozens of zhang of cliffs, almost straight up and down, there is nowhere to stay, the ape does not climb. [Full text reading. 】

And the side without water, is a thin mountain range, in ancient times called Bodao Ridge, the width of the ridge is less than one zhang, both sides are steep slopes, there is a stone road up the mountain, there is a city wall along the natural formation of stone cliffs around the mountain, built into the Diaoyu City, there is a city gate on the Bodao Ridge, the Southern Song Dynasty Yu Jue personally inscribed the three words of "protecting the country" jumped on it, constituted a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the natural risk.

The whole city is a fortress, the mountain can accommodate 100,000 people, there are arable land and wells, self-sufficient, as long as the defenders are strong-willed, the defense is effective, enough to resist a hundred times the number of male soldiers attacking, the original city to hold half of the Southern Song Dynasty is indeed not built.

At this moment, Ma Long, the deputy general of the Kuizhou soldiers, was dressed in a rattan armor and white robe, standing on the high tower of the Huguo Gate, raising his eyes, and looking up, he saw that among the mountains and mountains in front of him, countless flags were fluttering, the crowds were crowded, and the voices of the people were boiling, and the vigorous Zeng Ying military horse was stopping at the foot of the mountain, pointing towards Diaoyu City.

Zeng Ying was on the side of the official road under the Bodao Ridge, looking at Ma Long, although because of the distance, the two of them couldn't see each other clearly, but the strong hostility struck the two of them through a distance of hundreds of steps.

On the official road in front of Zeng Ying, there was a bomb crater, and a solid iron bullet was lying quietly under a large pine tree surrounded by two people on the side of the road, and the pine tree had broken from a waist height of more than two feet above the ground, and was beaten into two sections.

"The cannon used by the stone pillar rebel was pulled out of the city of Chongqing?" Zeng Ying asked with a cold voice.

Jiang Li, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei beside him, coughed, knowing that he was asking himself, and stepped forward to reply: "Yes, Shizhu has never heard of an iron cannon, and the Franc machine cannon at the head of Chongqing City, according to the report of the spies, has been pulled away and disappeared, it seems that it must have been pulled here by the Shizhu traitor." ”

Zeng Ying's face was ugly, his eyes were full of anger, Yang Zhan peeked at Zeng Ying's face on the side, and added: "Military Gate, as Jiang Qianhu said, the Franc cannon that fired just now must have been originally erected at the head of Chongqing City, this cannon weighs 600 catties, it is a large Franc cannon, six feet long, and the S iron bullet can be as far as a thousand steps, so the rebel thief fired the cannon just now, so he could almost hit the military gate." ”

"How many of these cannons do we have in Chongqing?" Zeng Ying's tone has become colder and colder, no wonder his own cannon was robbed by others to beat him in turn, and anyone would be angry.

"This, there are two large Franc cannons, four medium Franc cannons, and four small Franc cannons in the official warehouse." Jiang Li replied in a somewhat deep voice.

Zeng Ying gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "How much silver did we spend money on these cannons?" How many relationships have gone? Lao Tzu remembered that just feeding those eunuchs in the war bureau cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? ”

Yang Zhan and Jiang Li glanced at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.

Zeng Ying became furious and shouted angrily: "Now we are being used by the stone pillar barbarians to beat ourselves!" What ****** is this! ”

Ten cannons, standing on the head of the city, are enough to cover a large area of the official road under the Bodao Ridge, anyone who wants to pass through here, as long as the Kuizhou soldiers on the head of the city are in a bad mood, they can kill him at any time, and the big iron bullets weighing several catties will not be able to stand it when it hits R.

But if you want to enter Chongqing Mansion, there is only one way, and if you want to bypass the past, you must return to Shunqing Mansion and change the route from Xuzhou Mansion, which will have to walk hundreds of miles, and the trail is difficult to walk, the road is muddy and muddy, and it is not easy for the army to walk.

It can be said that Diaoyu City is a nail that guards the throat of eastern Sichuan and central Sichuan, if you don't pull it out, any people and horses who want to go east or west will be blocked here, and Meng Ke Khan was consumed like this.

"Attack! Attack now! Zeng Ying shouted violently, took out the sword on his waist and pointed at Bodaoling: "Yang Zhan, you lead the vanguard military horse, even if you attack it, even if you have the first merit, Kuizhou Mansion will be yours!" ”

Yang Zhan was overjoyed, bowed down to receive the order, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will receive the order!" ”

Jiang Li looked at Yang Zhan, saw his happy face, sighed secretly, shook his head, glanced at Zeng Ying again, wanted to say something, thought about it but kept silent.

Zeng Ying saw Yang Zhan hurriedly leaving, his face was only slightly better, and he immediately turned around and left, just now a cannon on the head of the city to protect the country was hit more than ten steps away in front of him, if another cannon came, he couldn't tell where it would hit, and it was better to stay away from the dangerous place.

Yang Zhan said he would do it, and the huge benefits made him highly motivated, leading the eight thousand strange barracks under his command, forming a formation under the Bodao Ridge, and pressing up.

"Brothers, there are only a few cannons in the city, they are useless, they can't hit us, as long as they rush up, climbing up to the top of the city is a great achievement, the **** door said, everyone in the broken city has a silver reward, all on it!" Mr. Qian shouted loudly to the generals, drove his soldiers to move forward enthusiastically, and stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers with a heavy reward of Lilu.

"Woo~~! Come on! ”

"Kill the barbarian!"

Foot soldiers with hideous faces raised shields, brandished knives and spears, roared, and rushed up along the rugged mountain road under the Thin Knife Ridge, and behind the shieldmen, soldiers carried a simple ladder made of hastily cut down trees, ready to rush to the city wall to use to ascend the city.

The cannon at the head of the city has not made a sound, which makes the generals of the strange barracks very happy, it seems that the barbarians do not have many shells, and they are reluctant to use them, which is cheap for us.

But in front of the ridge, the soldiers were dumbfounded, three deep trenches were in front of them, the trenches were densely covered with bamboo stick barbs, as long as they fell into it and did not die, they had to lose their skin, the trenches were wide, no one could jump over except kangaroos, so thousands of people and horses suddenly crowded on the edge of the trenches, at a loss.

The ditch is only fifty steps away from the city wall, and the city wall is built on the cliff, and the city wall that was originally only one zhang high is increased to ten zhang high out of thin air.

"Let go of the arrows, don't keep them waiting." Ma Long held the mountain-destroying crossbow and shouted with a smile.

Two thousand of the three thousand white-robed soldiers were guarding the front of the Thin Knife Ridge, and the rest were scattered on other city walls, and the two thousand white-robed soldiers each had a mountain-destroying crossbow and a box of ten arrows with two each, almost like an S target, aiming at the red-clothed officers and soldiers crowded into a pile at the bottom of the mountain, and began to shoot S.

This kind of S strike does not talk about speed, but pays attention to accuracy, from the city down to S, standing on the narrow battlement without the slightest danger, and the archer in the strange barracks wants to fight back, it is not easy to look up, the battlements of the city wall are thin, and it is even more difficult to let the bow and arrow enter from the narrow gap S, so without any suspense, the first wave of crossbow arrows took the lives of dozens of people, and the screams of the arrows instantly extinguished the fighting spirit of Yang Zhan's foot soldiers, just like swarming and rushing to the thin knife ridge, the foot soldiers stayed in the trench for a short time, The tide receded again.
