The Huaiyin battle was unexpectedly weird, one side was the elite army pressing the border, the other side was a lonely army, everyone thought that it was easy for the 300,000 Tang army to take Huaiyin City, but the twists and turns in the middle of the war surprised everyone, which also proved a saying, 'On the battlefield, until the last moment, no one knows who is the final victory~щ~~lā'

If the battle of Huaiyin is unacceptable, then the ongoing battle of Runzhou also makes people feel incredible, like Huaiyin, Runzhou is also trapped in a lonely city, facing the attack of a strong enemy, it stands to reason that it should have been defeated a long time ago, but Runzhou has resisted the attack of Xu Jingye's army twice in a row, and it is still firmly controlled by the Tang army until now.

For a time, the two battlefields, which were separated by more than 1,000 miles, became the two squares of the Tang Army and the Xu Army, and whoever failed first also indicated who fell first.

"Boom, boom, boom........."

From early in the morning, there was a loud noise in Runzhou City, in the era of cold weapons without gunpowder, it must be the big guy who can make such a huge sound, and the fact is also true, that is, the stone throwing vehicle.

Chinese civilization, or human civilization, is a history of war, and human beings can have the current technology, war is indispensable, and in war, human beings have created countless incredible tools.

Since ancient times, there have been countless large-scale battles in China, and the battles that swept the whole country will be once every few decades, and China is an agricultural civilization, and the important feature of agricultural civilization is that the people have a fixed place of residence, and the city is the most powerful and last means of protection for these settlements.

In order to break all kinds of strong city walls, people invented a variety of tools, from engineering lanes to arrow towers, ladders, etc., and the stone throwing vehicle is the age of cold weapons, and even to the beginning of the gunpowder age, the stone throwing car is also a sharp weapon for siege.

Stone-throwing cart is also called cannon truck, in fact, it is a tool that uses the principle of lever to throw, according to the different shapes and functions, he is divided into a kind, there are very clever stone-throwing trucks, which can be used to throw stones below five catties, because it is skillful, simple, and can be manufactured in large quantities quickly, which is the best weapon used to strike the enemy by the side defending the city or the side defending.

Just think about it, when attacking, countless palm-sized stones are suddenly thrown from the enemy's position, and whether it is in the elite army, I am afraid that it will completely collapse, because this is simply not something that can be resisted by manpower.

Compared with this kind of defensive stone-throwing vehicle, the Xu army used to attack the city is a huge giant, which was originally the standard weapon of the Tang army, even in the Tang army, it is the most high-end weapon, but unfortunately, with Xu Jingye's rebellion, this sharp weapon also fell into the hands of Xu Jingye, and became his artifact to attack Runzhou City.

The stone-throwing car used in Xu Jingye's army is four people high, and the wooden pole used to swing is more than ten meters long, and the lever is not pulled by manpower, but the winch used, more than ten cows exert force at the same time, and then the winch is launched, and the wooden pole of more than ten meters is bent, and the soldiers of the Xu army pour dozens of pounds of big stones on the fire oil, with an angry shout, someone cut the rope connected with the wooden pole with a knife, and with a whistling sound, this dozens of pounds of big stones flew towards Runzhou City.

If you are lucky, it will smash into the city wall, the solid city wall of Runzhou City to smash a piece, if you are unlucky, he may fall outside the city, or fall into the city, if it falls into the city, for the soldiers of Runzhou is the most helpless thing, because the stone is stained with fire oil, as long as the stone and the stone collide, there will be a spark immediately, and then the stone will become a huge fireball, he is like the god of fire descending to earth, running around in the city or on the streets in the city, burning houses, Burn to death civilians or soldiers of the Tang Army.

With the continuous bombardment of the stone throwing truck, half a time, the city wall of Runzhou City was hit by more than ten big stones, the original solid city wall collapsed a lot, fortunately, the collapsed place is in the upper half of the city wall, the defense of Runzhou City has little impact, if the collapse is the lower half of the city wall, I am afraid that Runzhou City can hold is an unknown.

Looking at the collapsed city wall, Li Siwen's expression was extremely ugly, although there was still danger outside Runzhou City, but if the city wall of Runzhou really collapsed, that risk would not have a big impact on Xu Junlai, the only thing that made Li Siwen feel a little more relaxed was that this kind of giant catapult was made tightly, and there were not many in the Xu army, only three, and in half a time, these three catapults were already a little overwhelmed, and if they were forcibly attacked, they would be completely scrapped.

"Ah Lang, you are really not ready to rescue Runzhou City, according to this view, if there is no external force, they will not be able to hold on for half a month, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on for three days, if you really let Xu Jun break through Runzhou City, will your plan be completely put into practice."

On the high ground a few miles away from Runzhou City, dozens of sturdy war horses were standing here, and the knights on the horses were looking intently at Runzhou City, which was fighting.

This group of people is none other than Duan Jian and others who withdrew from Runzhou City with a large army in order to confuse Xu Jingye and others not long ago, of course, they are only confusing Xu Jingyou and others, so they did not go far, especially after Xu Jingye's army came to Runzhou City again, they basically came here to observe the situation.

Hearing Su Xiu'er's inquiry, Duan Jian shook his head with a solemn face and said, "Now is not a good time to do it, you have also seen these battles, the Xu army did not lose many soldiers at all, but it was the Tang army in Runzhou City, but because of these stone-throwing vehicles, not only did they lose a lot of numbers, but even their morale was extremely low, if we hadn't controlled Xu Jingyou, these spies who infiltrated Runzhou City, it is still unknown who is in Runzhou City now." Therefore, we can't make a move now, even if Runzhou City is in difficulty, they can only grit their teeth and persevere, after all, the war tests people's patience. ”

"Lang Jun's words are reasonable, since ancient times, the battlefield has been a slaughterhouse, ten people can be considered lucky to have one person return, if you want to win the war without casualties, unless it is a god general like General Xue, it's just that this Runzhou City is related to our plan after all, if we can destroy those catapults, as long as Runzhou City is holding on for a period of time, I don't believe it, under the pressure of the soldiers, Xu Jingye can still sit here and watch Yangzhou fall." Yan Ming interjected at the right time.

"Uh-huh........"

Those who are unintentional, but those who listen are intentional.

Yan Ming's casual complaint was remembered by Duan Jian, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he thought of a clever plan.

.........................

That night, with the sneaking in of a team of black-clothed people, the Xu army camp was attacked again, for a while, there was a riot in the camp, although the riot was quickly quelled, but the result, but Xu Jingye was extremely angry, there was not much loss of personnel and materials, but the most critical three catapults were completely destroyed.

Looking at the wreckage of the catapult that was broken into pieces and could not be repaired even by the most powerful tinker, Xu Jingye wanted to die.

You know, these catapults are the most exquisite siege weapons in this era, even the Tang Dynasty court does not exist much, each one is an extremely precious weapon, no less than the current aircraft carrier, but not those shoddy things can be compared, this time all lost, Xu Jingye's desire to break through Runzhou City as soon as possible was finally completely shattered.

It's not that without catapults, Xu Jingye can't capture Runzhou City, after the blows of these catapults, Runzhou City is also full of holes, as long as Xu Jingye is really ruthless to take Runzhou City, in the case of losing some soldiers, it can still be achieved, but Xu Jingye can't do it.

On the one hand, he has already received the news from Tang Zhiqi from Yangzhou, the 300,000 elite army of the Tang Dynasty led by Li Xiaoyi has arrived outside Huaiyin City, if nothing else, Huaiyin City will soon be taken by the Tang Army, when the time comes, the lack of soldiers and major generals plus the strategic position without danger, the Tang Army will be able to directly reach Yangzhou City, in that case, it means that Yangzhou City will soon fall into the hands of the Tang Army. And this is something that Xu Jingye resolutely cannot tolerate.

On the other hand, as time goes by, the messages between the government and the opposition are becoming more and more unfavorable to Xu Jingye and Xu Jun, and it is not easy for Xu Jingye to recruit troops like before, so the existing troops are the foundation of Xu Jingye, and if he loses too many soldiers, it will shake his foundation, which is also unacceptable to Xu Jingye.

Therefore, after losing the city car, Xu Jingye now has only one way, that is, to withdraw his troops, give up attacking Runzhou, return to Yangzhou and other places, and engage the upcoming Tang army.

It's a pity that everyone knows this, including Xu Jingye himself, but everyone doesn't dare, but Xu Jingye has no face.

In the early morning of the next day, when the Tang army in Runzhou City was ready, waiting for the Xu army's catapult to attack again, but after waiting and waiting, they did not hear the 'whoosh' sound that made people tremble.

At the beginning, the Tang army in Runzhou City thought that this was a trick of the Xu army, or that this was Xu Jun practicing some kind of tactics, but there was still no movement after waiting, and the Tang army in Runzhou City couldn't help but think about it, and some people even regarded this rare situation as an important military situation to tell Li Siwen about this assassination history.

Fortunately, in the middle of last night, Li Siwen had already received the news that Duan Jian sent someone to pass on to him.

When Li Siwen passed on the news that all the catapults in the Xu army had been destroyed, the Tang army in Runzhou City, which had already fallen into the trough, instantly burst out with huge morale, which made Li Siwen feel extremely surprised.

"Wonderful, wonderful, Lang Jun, this Xu Jingye has no catapult, as if the bird has no wings, the tiger has no minions, this time see how he can take Runzhou City, if you want to win Runzhou City, I'm afraid it is not enough to have tens of thousands of lives, will you, Xu Jingye, take tens of thousands of lives in exchange for Runzhou City?"

Looking at the quiet and extremely abnormal Xu Jun camp, Duan Mu asked in a daze.

"Hey, hey, tens of thousands of lives, for Xu Jingye, hundreds of lives are too much, just look, if nothing else, Xu Jun will soon retire, and we are going to start to get busy, whether you can make contributions depends on your efforts in the next ten days." Duan Jian said with a sneer.

As expected, in the third where the catapult was destroyed, under the discussion of Xu Jingye and many leading generals, Xu Jun finally sounded the clarion call for retreat, according to the logic of war, it is difficult to attack, but retreat is even more difficult, because when attacking, at least prove that their side has the upper hand, even if they face a strong enemy or block, they are confident in their hearts, and the morale of the soldiers will not be low.

And retreat is different, all retreat, is often inferior to the strength of people, the last step of helplessness, so, at this time the morale of the army is extremely low, a heart will appear a big rout, the battle of the water is a typical example, 700,000 troops, because of a lie and the whole army was wiped out, resulting in a huge dynasty burned, this kind of experience is any general who leads the army can not ignore it.

But this time it was different, although the Tang army in Runzhou City did not lose much, they did not have the strength to chase and kill Xu Jun, and Xu Jun was not afraid of them chasing and killing, and even wished that they would go out of the city to chase and kill, so that one could invite you into the urn?

It's a pity that the art of war has a cloud of 'virtual is real, real is virtual', just when the Xu army thought that the Tang army in Runzhou City did not dare to go out of the city to chase and kill themselves, but this was not the case, the Tang army in Runzhou City did not go out of the city to chase them, but the other Tang army was bold to chase after them, like a hungry wolf tracking its prey, quietly following them, waiting for the right opportunity to launch a fierce attack on them.

Of course, this way of tracking the army is extremely dangerous, if Xu Jingye or any of the generals of the Xu army is a little more careful, they will definitely find the clues, but unfortunately, because the situation has changed, Xu Jingye ordered the whole family to return to Yangzhou as quickly as possible, and the generals of the Xu army did not think of this at all, so Duan Jian with more than 10,000 people followed behind Xu Jun and moved quickly.

The thing that can make Xu Jingye throw down his face and order the army to speed up and return to Yangzhou City desperately is definitely not an ordinary thing, but a matter related to his life and the future of the entire Xu Army, that is, Huaiyin City After experiencing a vicious battle at the airport, it was finally unable to resist under the powerful offensive of the Tang Army, so in this situation that the Tang Army would come to Yangzhou City at any time, how could Xu Jingye take care of his meager face.
