When attacking the city and plundering the land, the power of the siege tower is undoubtedly huge, but correspondingly, the siege tower is huge, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and the imperial army set off in the early morning and rushed to the Jinling city at dusk.

Biling County and Jiangdu County are only separated by a river, and its prosperity can be imagined, and Jinling is the most prosperous county seat in Piling County, the city is as insurmountable as a moat, and Shen Faxing is personally guarding Jinling.

Li Xuanba used a surprise attack strategy, so that Shen Faxing's 30,000 reinforcements only more than 4,000 people rushed to the Jin Tomb, Shen Faxing was furious, and soon understood Li Xuanba's intentions, he ordered to hold on to the barrier, and sent envoys out of the city to send reinforcements. His every move was expected by the imperial court.

The Jinling city wall is more than six meters high, and when the siege tower appears in the afterglow of the setting sun, Shen Faxing's heart is broken, and his expression is confused.

In this era, the well is already a very large siege machine, but the monster in front of you is similar in height to the well wall, but it is comparable to the width of the city gate.

"Shen Faxing, as an important minister of the imperial court, you don't want to serve the court, but you support the army and respect yourself, and you don't listen to Your Majesty's edict, what crime should you be guilty of!" Li Xuanba held a double hammer, sat on top of the red flame, rode forward alone, and scolded angrily: "My father is here to ask you, to descend or not to surrender?" ”

Just looking at the double hammer in his hand, Shen Faxing understood who the person in front of him was.

"Li Xuanba, you are the prince of the dynasty and the favored courtier of the first emperor, but you follow the example of Cao Apu and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this prince knows that you have bad intentions, how can you be easily tricked?" Shen Faxing replied with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice.

Li Xuanba couldn't help but want to applaud, Shen Faxing's tone and expression almost made him really think of himself as a thief.

"Those who are clean are self-purifying, Shen Faxing, do you think that just these few words can bewitch the people of the world?" Li Xuanba's face remained unchanged, and he raised his hammer and pointed directly at Shen Faxing: "Since you don't listen to Your Majesty's edict." My father said that he would not take you back to Jiangdu in person. The soldiers of Jinling, if you follow the traitor, don't blame the court for being ruthless! ”

Shouting and scolding can not weaken the momentum, the soldiers on the city wall were first frightened by the eight siege towers, and then Li Xuanba said this, and suddenly his heart became empty. The people are not stupid. Everyone understands Shen Faxing's true thoughts.

"Li Xuanba, don't bluff." Shen Faxing has been in a high position for many years, how could he be flustered because of a few words: "This prince wants to see how many people of the Great Sui have been blinded by you!" ”

"Shen Faxing, you don't repent, when the city is broken, this public oath will correct the law on the spot!" Li Xuanba left a cruel word, turned his horse's head, and returned to the army.

The rear army arrived one after another. The army set up a formation, Li Xuanba gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers pushed the siege tower slowly, and behind them, there were hundreds of archers and infantry holding shields.

On the Jinling City, Shen Faxing was ordering people to pour hot water on the city wall, and in the cold wind, the city wall quickly formed ice crystals. The ice reflects the glow of the sunset. Brilliant red, extraordinarily beautiful.

"It seems that the deterrent power of the siege tower is still not enough!" Seeing the siege tower approaching the city wall step by step. The soldiers of Jinling were still armed, and Li Xuanba said with emotion: "I really don't want to see the picture of the city wall being dyed red. ”

The red glow of the ice wall under the sunset is beautiful and shocking, but the blood-stained wall makes the heart palpitate and heavy.

"Shen Faxing took advantage of the death of the first emperor to start a rebellion, so he has today's power, how can he be willing to give it up?" Qin Qiong held the horse lance in her hand and stared at Shen Faxing tightly. The killing intent is strong.

"Wait for Shixin to take off his head, see if he is still reluctant!" Roshixin's answer was more direct

The defenders of the Jin Tomb forcibly calmed down, defending the city with crossbows, rockets, and catapults, all targeting the siege towers, intending to destroy those unknowns. Something beyond one's own understanding. There will always be fear on oneself, and everyone knows very well that fighting with fear will lead to a miserable death.

The siege towers stood still among the boulders, crossbows, and burning arrows, and how could the siege towers, which took months to build, be so vulnerable?

On the fifteenth day of the moon and sixteenth round, the archers climbed to the top of the siege tower, and by the bright moonlight, they took arrows from the quiver, took aim, shot arrows, and then took arrows, and the infantry holding shields stood vigilantly in front of the archers, blocking the arrows that came up from below.

The soldiers of the imperial court quickly carried the escalator and rushed to the city wall

"My father thought there was something great, but it was just the same function as the well." Shen Faxing laughed loudly, boosting the morale of the defenders.

The siege tower looks scary, but so far, it is only stronger than the well, and its function is still for the soldiers to shoot arrows on it, which does not look special.

The defenders raised their shields to fend off the arrows fired from the siege towers, and some soldiers used rolling logs and wolf fangs to stop the imperial army from climbing the towers.

Li Xuanba watched the soldiers fall from the escalator, either dead or injured, and his heart ached, but he understood very well that the siege battle should have been carried out in one go, otherwise with these people in his hands, it would be impossible to capture Jinling.

When the defenders' rolling logs and wolf tooth paddles and other equipment were almost consumed, Li Xuanba immediately made a decision and ordered to enter the second step.

More than a dozen stairs made of wooden planks were transported to the city, and they were more stable than escalators, more convenient than climbing the ladders, and the soldiers rushed to the city wall as they usually went upstairs.

At the same time, there was a change in the siege tower, and the heavy planks were lowered like a drawbridge, pulled by chains.

Chi Yan hissed boredly under the siege tower, as if he didn't understand why Li Xuanba had left it behind and entered the cage-like thing in front of him.

"Oh no, there's someone up there." The defenders soon found that many court soldiers rushed out of the wooden planks that had been lowered, and some soldiers were just about to put down their shields, when they saw sharp arrows shooting towards them with a ghostly light, and hurriedly and steadily raised their shields again, and they could escape the catastrophe.

"Kill!" Li Xuanba and Qin Qiong led thousands of soldiers, like heavenly soldiers, to jump from the plank, land on the shield, and trample the soldiers below under their feet.

The city wall was already crowded, and now it is even more chaotic, and the soldiers in and outside the city are rushing up the city wall and fighting in pieces.

Li Xuanba had two hammers in his hands, and he was so powerful that the defenders didn't have time to get close, so they were smashed by a hammer and fell behind him. He wielded his hammer as if he had entered no man's land, and the spears of the defenders were like papier-mâché in front of him.

Liang Xiao was holding the ring-headed knife, his eyes were shining, and he calmly observed everything around him, but whenever someone wanted to take advantage of Li Xuanba's unpreparedness and was about to step forward, a thin figure floated in front of him and cut his throat. (To be continued.) )
