The morning light slowly pierced the vastness of the earth and brought a new day. The sky gradually brightened, and the objects that had been shrouded in darkness were revealed one after another. Soon after, the sun also quietly poked its head out, and looked at this familiar land a little shyly. The traces of yesterday's battle can still be seen everywhere, broken weapons, fallen flags, and congealed bloodstains, all visible in the bright sunshine.

Zhao Xun's presence gave great encouragement to the defenders defending the city, and the morale of the soldiers suddenly soared.

Looking at the north side, a few miles away, the camp tents are connected together, stretching for several miles, and there are not knights riding horses back and forth, those should be the rangers of the Northern Navy.

Outside the northern city, the whole land was full of potholes, and everywhere there were large and small stones, dried bloodstains, and some broken weapons.

The howling cold wind was blowing, making the flags above rattle, and the soldiers defending the city were shaking their bodies, as if they were particularly cold because of the cold wind. Still, piles of bonfires remained on the walls, which were used to pour oil and rockets, and to keep the soldiers warm.

The wounded soldiers, the logistics team, and some of the craftsmen of the battalion all rushed to Baixian. The wounded soldiers are now overcrowded, not only the soldiers who were injured in this battle by the original defenders of the city, but also the people who participated in the defense of the city.

The task of the craftsman battalion here is mainly to repair damaged weapons, such as the more than 30 crossbow machines that came with Zhao Xun this time, which are newly made by the craftsman battalion, and they are obtained by themselves according to the crossbow mechanism obtained by the Long Xiang army, this time it is a virgin battle. But after testing, all of them are on par with the original ones.

"It's just a pity, this time the Northern Navy will definitely guard his logistics supplies very strongly, otherwise, his supplies will be burned again, I think he will fight?" Zhao Xun sighed secretly, and learned from the intelligence obtained by the Shadow Guard that fifty miles north of the Northern Navy was their logistics camp, but the defenders had 20,000 people and 20,000 cavalry, where could they shoot. If the forces are sufficient, but you can try, but for now......

To the north of Baixian is a wilderness, like a grassland, and Baixian is the cutting point that separates the grassland and the Yan Kingdom. The long horn sounded again outside the north side of Baixian, and the breath of slaughter made the heavens and the earth lose color, and the war came again.

This is a life-and-death struggle between two peoples, a life-and-death struggle between two civilizations, which will not stop until one side falls. Not to mention, the people of Yan Kingdom, who have a deep grudge against the Northern Navy, a few days ago, more than 10,000 people died tragically a few miles outside the city.

Zhao Xun stood on the city wall, looking at the camp of the Northern Navy ten miles away, his face was grim, and there were 50,000 Yan troops. Among them, 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, looking from a distance, can vaguely see the large siege equipment in the camp, it seems that this Beihai King, who was defeated once in his own hands, has invested a lot of money, and is determined to take Baixian and even Yanzhou Mansion. Zhao Xun clenched his fists fiercely, since he can let you lose once, he can let you lose the second and third times...... Until I kill your tribe.

Today, the war will officially begin, and the empty space in front of you will be filled with corpses, and the blood will stain the land red again.

Zhao Xun coldly glanced at the captains under him and a few captains selected from the young men who defended the city, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, the next few days are likely to be the saddest period of our lives, but no matter how sad we are, we have to hold on, because behind us are hundreds of people, who make our sisters, wives and children, and parents, we can't let them face the enemy's butcher's knife." And don't forget, there were more than 10,000 people outside the city a few days ago! This is a big battle related to our life and death, as long as we persist to the end, victory will eventually belong to us. The Fire Lynx Army will win! ”

"The Fire Lin Army will win!" The generals chanted at the same time.

Not long after, the horn sounded in the opposite camp, and with the low sound of the horn, a group of soldiers and horses came out from the camp, lined up outside the camp, and after a while, a neat square array was formed, and in the rumbling horn of the Chinese army, slowly moved forward.

Outside the city, there are three trenches with a depth and width of several meters each, which were set up after the recovery of Baixian, and several passages were filled in by the Northern Navy a few days ago, but at night, the defenders of Baixian quietly dug them up.

The Northern Navy advanced to a distance of 500 meters from the nearest trench, stopped its advance, and on the high command platform, the North Sea King Chishu stood in the center, and beside him, the generals led by Habur and Tielezahe were divided left and right. At this moment, Chishu, a high-spirited image, used to be a great prince, and now he is the king of a department, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers. If it weren't for the poor logistics, he really wanted the whole army to press on and let the Huolin Army see the strength of the Northern Navy.

Thinking of the last defeat, Chishu felt sick, like eating a fly, for a king, failure is his stain. He needed to wash away the victory and the enemy's head, so he couldn't wait to lead his troops to Baixian, although he understood that this was not a good time to start a war.

"The Death Slave Camp, the Changshui Division, the Wuliang Division, and the Titicaca Division are in the vanguard and are preparing to attack. Give me three passages, open the pathway. "In this seizure of the throne, Chishu killed many people and reduced many of his subordinates to dead slaves.

"Yes, King of the North Sea!" The leaders of the three tribes came out in large numbers, and they did not go out, because their families were all in the tribe, and they were guarded by the king's team, and if they did not obey the order, they were all beheaded.

The three of them walked down the command platform with expressionless faces, drove their horses to their subordinates, and then gave the order to advance.

Soon, three soldiers came out in formation, not with scimitars, but with shovels and sacks, and after the orders of the leaders, the shovels flew and filled the sacks with dirt.

Behind them, ladders were carried out by the soldiers, and the Mengchong chariots and siege towers were ready to go. The Mengchong car is covered with cowhide, and dozens of soldiers can be hidden under the car, which can effectively resist bows and arrows, but the protection against powerful crossbow arrows such as huge stone bullets and large crossbows is insufficient. The siege tower, on the other hand, is higher than the city wall, and when attacking the city, it is advanced to the side of the city wall, and one side of the tread is opened to form a passage above the siege tower and the city wall, allowing people to speed up the fight into the city.

Seeing that the death slave camp was quickly prepared, Chishu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's start!" Let the Huolin Army take a look, the prestige of my Northern Navy! ”

The siege infantry let out a cry in unison, carrying sacks and shields, and rushed forward with their lives, and behind them, Meng Chongcha and the siege tower slowly followed.

The offensive began......

"Meng Chongche? How could they have this? Is it new? Lin Luo, did you have these things yesterday? Zhao asked.

"Back to my lord, there were siege towers and ladders yesterday, and there were no rushing cars.

"If only there were catapults! It's a pity that except for the Longxiang army, there are no government troops and no cities. According to the investigation, this Beihai King has lived in Youzhou for several years in the past, and it seems that he has a lot of military knowledge of Yan State. It's hard to deal with, but they're approaching with their trenchers, and it's time for them to pay the casualties. ”

Sure enough, by the time they approached the trench, the soldiers of the Northern Navy were within range of the crossbow machines, and if they went any further, the archers on the walls could have inflicted casualties on them.

"Chirp ......", dozens of crossbow machines on the city wall took the lead in shooting, and the unique chirping sound made Zhao Xun and all the soldiers feel refreshed and comfortable. All opened their eyes wide, followed the trajectory of the crossbow arrows, and watched the huge crossbow rush into the crowd and bring up a slip of blood, Zhao Xun couldn't help but slam his fist into the city wall, and shouted: "Good shot!" ”

Subsequently, the Northern Navy got closer and closer to the trenches, and the archers on the city walls also began to exert their might, although the archers' arrow rain was not as terrifying as the crossbow machine, but it was better in number and fast shooting, which could increase the number of enemy casualties.

After several rounds of archers, the galloping infantry of the Northern Navy had reached the first trench, threw the sack on his shoulder into the ditch, and ran back with his legs, which was not far from the city wall, and could also increase the range of the arrow, and if he was hit by an arrow at this distance, he could easily be injured.

When the first batch of soldiers to fill the trench just rushed to the front of the trench, the city wall had already prepared, a row of soldiers, bending the bow and arrows, swishing sounds, the fast reaction of the Northern Navy infantry hurriedly to the ground, waiting for the rain of arrows to get up and then galloping, the reaction was a little slow to take a few arrows, some injuries were not critical, the body hung arrows had to run desperately, the bad luck fell into the trench, and they also went to fill the pit.

Zhao Xun roughly estimated the number of casualties on the other side, this first wave of trenches, the other party probably paid two or three hundred lives, and the first trench was also filled in half, if at this speed, the three trenches were filled, the other party would have to pay at least nearly a thousand lives, because the closer they got to the city wall, the greater the probability of their death.

The Mengchong chariot that followed the death slave camp of the Northern Navy moved forward step by step, and rushed to about 100 paces away from the trench before stopping, the roof of the Mengchong chariot was lifted, and the soldiers hiding below rushed out with sacks, and the soldiers in charge of covering were shot by bending bows and arrows against the Huolin army on the city wall, in order to suppress the arrow rain of the Huolin army.

Although the Huolin army was condescending, there were many non-commissioned officers in the Northern Navy, and Zhao Xun quickly responded, and the crossbow machines were no longer aimed at people, but concentrated on attacking these Mengchong vehicles.

Meng Chong car covered with cowhide, the protection performance of ordinary bows and arrows is excellent, but for the large crossbow machine this kind of perverted crossbow arrows are helpless, as long as the baby's arm-thick crossbow arrows are shot, they can penetrate the cowhide and thick wooden boards, and even the soldiers below are also pierced in pairs, as long as they are next to two, the wooden boards and cowhide on the top are tattered and unbearable to use.

Dozens of crossbows fired in unison, and the Beihai sergeant in the car was shot by the ghost, crying wolf. It didn't take long for the Mengchong cars to be shattered by the firing range, and the soldiers inside naturally couldn't live.

After paying for dozens of Mengchong vehicles and more than a dozen siege vehicles, the first trench was filled. Immediately afterwards, the North Navy continued to march towards the second and third trenches.

"If there were a fort on each side of the north side, it would be more advantageous to defend the city." Lin Luo whispered on the side.

Zhao Xun also nodded secretly, Lin Luo was right, if one fort was built on each of the two sections on the north side before, then it would cause double the casualties to the enemy, and at the same time, it would also cause great pressure on their siege team, so that they would not dare to attack the county seat lightly, even if they wanted to attack the city, they would have to take two forts first. But now to say this, it can only be an afterthought.
