On the second day, it was another sunny day, which was no surprise to Guxi County, which was in drought every year.

Like yesterday, Li Zhi's army came overwhelmingly, like a locust attack; stopped a hundred feet away from the city wall of Wanling County; On this day, Li Zhi did not blindly attack the city, but first made a shout, and his intention was naturally to take the opportunity to boost the morale of the army.

I saw that his horse's reins were lightly raised, and he left the military formation with a clamp on the horse's belly, and drove forward for several feet, Li Zhi shouted loudly: "Where is the traitor Wang Xu?" ”。 A sentence of 'traitor' charged Wang Xu with an unprecedented crime, and he was thrown to the land of disloyalty and injustice; since the founding of the Hongzhou Empire, there have been rebels, at most some bandits or bandits; although they are troublesome, they dare not resist the government.

Wang Xu is not a good person, who is afraid of whom, I saw him walk to the city wall unhurriedly, cleared his throat, and replied loudly: "Li Zhi, when it comes to this traitor, your prince is well-deserved, and I, Wang Xu, dare not be ashamed."

"It's nonsense, my prince inherits his father's business by hereditary succession, this is the emperor's holy decree; How can a traitor say; Thou hast not listened to the order, and thou hast raised thy own army; Sin is unforgivable; When I break through the city, I will break your body to pieces! ”。

Wang Xu sneered and scolded: "As a son of man who killed his father, it was for unfilial piety, no, even his own father can do this, it is no longer a human being, but a beast!" Without the will of the court, the brute who usurped the throne without permission is disloyal; It is really shameless that such a disloyal and unfilial beast dares to usurp the throne! ”。

"As a general of Guxi, you should have admonished with death, and in the name of all loyal ministers; But instead of admonishing, you are helping to abuse. What face do you have to face the kings of your ancestors? If I were you, I would have hid in the dark corner gutter or cut myself off, how dare you be so dry in front of the three armies! ”。

"Shameless Li Zhi, you better go back, kill you and don't stain my sword!" Wang Xu's words were like a knife, which made Li Zhi speechless; It's a bit ugly, but when you think about it, it's all true; Li Zhi also knew these things in his heart, but he knew that it was very different to be said in front of tens of thousands of soldiers like this, and he always felt uncomfortable. "Hello, a man who reverses black and white, and speaks clever words, let's see you on the battlefield!" Li Zhi was angry and smoked from his head, and he stepped back angrily.

When he returned to the military formation, Li Zhi drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Go to war!" ”。

The arduous siege battle began again, and five thousand soldiers drawn from various counties were placed at the front of the army, and a team of one thousand people took turns to attack the city wall in front, and the armor was still those armors, and the equipment and strength of the siege were also roughly the same, but a discerning person could see at a glance that the soldiers besieging the city today were far worse than yesterday.

The first team consisted of 800 shieldmen and 200 archers; The eight hundred sword and shield men ran at the front with five ladders, and the two hundred archers followed closely behind the sword and shield men; A thousand soldiers scattered their feet and ran madly towards the wall; From this point, you can see the difference between the county soldiers and the elite soldiers of Wangcheng; The sword and shield men did not play the role of covering the archers at all, and were completely self-sufficient.

"Archers prepare, shoot two rounds from the back".

Huang Quan gave an order, this time he did not wait for the enemy to approach, but gave the order to shoot the archers when the enemy was still a hundred steps away from the city wall; There is a difference between shooting from the side and shooting from the side, especially when standing in a high place, although there is no trace of accuracy, and the distance of the attack will be greatly increased. Without any hesitation, a thousand archers quickly opened their bows and drew arrows into the air to shoot two rounds. "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" Two thousand arrow feathers flew down from the city wall, like rain, the eight hundred sword and shield men did not suffer much loss, and only shot over dozens of people, most of them were soldiers who carried the ladder and ran forward, those soldiers were a little seriously injured because they carried the ladder, they did not have time to raise their shields, but they did not block the progress of the overall siege army, as soon as the soldiers carrying the ladder fell, the soldiers who came from behind immediately made up for it, took the ladder and continued to run forward.

The biggest loss of the two rounds of arrow feathers was the two hundred unprotected archers behind the army, and when the arrow feathers were shot, hundreds of soldiers died on the spot.

"What kind of county soldiers are these, they are completely stupid" Li Zhi scolded loudly with black lines on his forehead.

"Signal, second team charges".

Before the first team touched the edge of the city wall, Li Zhi ordered the second team to start making up for it; He also understood that it was impossible for a thousand county soldiers to climb to the top of the city, and it was better to rush up now than if the soldiers couldn't help them.

"Hey, it's totally suicidal!" Qin Shuang sighed secretly.

Now two thousand soldiers are attacking the walls, and the momentum is not insignificant; Coupled with the earth-shattering noise coming from the army formation under the city, the whole siege looked even more terrifying than yesterday.

"Archers attack freely". "The sword and shield hand throws a giant tree!". Huang Quan gave an order, and thousands of sword and shield hands on the city wall lifted the giant trees that had been prepared long ago, either one person held it, or two people carried it; Throw them down to the city; Each giant tree was at least as thick as a bowl, and it was thrown down the city wall with a loud noise.

For a while, hundreds of soldiers let out a wail, and they died under the giant tree.

At this time, the soldiers who were running at the front finally ran under the city wall, and five ladders were carried on the wall at the same time, and all the sword and shield hands scrambled to climb up with their heads shut.

The archers under the city wall are now almost dead and wounded, only a few dozen are left standing under the city wall, facing the archers who are shooting freely on the city, and none of the dozens of archers under the city are suddenly dead, and the battle situation is extremely tragic. The soldiers continued to climb up the ladder, and the defenders of the city were still the same as yesterday, the archers were free to shoot, the sword and shield men were still huge trees, and the pikemen were blocking the enemy troops who climbed the walls. An hour passed quietly.

Li Zhi was shocked to see in front of the military formation, if they all attacked the city like this, I was afraid that there would be 30,000 troops who would not be able to capture this Wanling County, Li Zhi saw very clearly, the soldiers defending the city were simply unscrupulous, and those pikemen retreated to a place three feet away from the city wall to defend during the siege yesterday, but today, all the pikemen are close to the city wall and attack down with spears on the ladder; As a result, there are very few soldiers who can climb to the top of the city; All this is because there is no cover of archers under the city, so that the pikemen in the city dare to be so rampant.
