But Yu Jiang didn't want to retreat, and he wouldn't retreat, because the captain Zhang Chu said when he set off that those who had meritorious service in this battle would get a share of the land. If you can eat enough and have your own land, maybe a happy life will begin from here. From being a displaced person who has left their homes to being able to own a happy life on their own land, it is worth fighting for with their lives.
The wait was torturous, time seemed to pass very slowly, the cannon sounded a few rounds, and the trebuchet also threw some porcelain pots that set fire, but the entire village wall was made of stones, and the cannonballs could not collapse the village wall, and in the end it was up to the team members to climb the village wall and open the village gate to achieve victory.
Finally, the order to attack was given, the drum sounded, Yu Jiang followed the drum beat as he trained, but he was not nervous, the drum beat gradually accelerated, the attacking team ran, the artillery fired another round of shells, the team had entered the range of bows and arrows, a rain of arrows flew above the Zhuang wall, Yu Jiang raised the shield in his hand, and the shield of the team members next to him set it up. There was a sound of tapping on the shield, some feather arrows passed through the gap in the shield, someone fell down with an arrow, fortunately Yu Jiang was not injured, the sound of the bowstring behind him sounded, it must be the archer brother who was fighting back with a bow and arrow.
After two rounds of arrow rain, Yu Jiang has rushed to the edge of the moat river, behind him two Zhang Chu imitation of the later bridge erection car made of the wooden bridge erection car was pushed up, the team members pulled the rope bridge plate on the car from the car section by section stretched out, with a loud bang the bridge board on the opposite bank, two forward pontoon bridge passages opened. Yu Jiang quickly passed the pontoon bridge and set up the shield in his hand at the bridgehead, and quickly a team member behind him spread a soaked quilt on the board.

A wolf tooth paddle full of nails was thrown down, and several team members who were throwing it below were stabbed by sharp spikes and died on the spot, and the wolf tooth paddle was pulled up the village wall again.
Many hooks with ropes were thrown off the wall, hooking the members of the security team, and then they were pulled up again, and the team members were suspended in the air, and there was a rain of arrows from above, and the team members turned into corpses and floated there. A bucket of gold juice boiled from dung was poured down, and the team members on another ladder tumbled down, and the morale of Zhuang Ding on the wall of the village was greatly boosted, and immediately someone took a clay pot filled with fierce fire oil and threw it on the ladder, and the torch was thrown over, and the ladder turned into a huge torch.
The sacrifice also bought time for the security team, and the huge siege tower was pushed over the pontoon bridge and erected on the village wall, and the security team climbed the city wall through the climbing tower. The team members with knives were desperately slashing, expanding the area occupied on the Zhuang wall, and buying time for the follow-up team members, but at this time, the Zhuang Ding pushed through a fierce fire oil tank, and a huge flame erupted, and the security team members on the wall fell off the village wall screaming miserably. Before the follow-up team members could reach the wall, the flames had already ignited the siege tower, and the security team members retreated from the siege tower under the scorching flames.
Two loud bangs brought hope to the players. It turned out that the two members of the security team had attacked the suspension bridge according to the prior arrangement, and they used long poles to push two tight explosives wrapped in animal skins and silk onto the suspension bridge, and an explosion sounded at the junction between the iron chain and the suspension bridge, and the wooden planks of the suspension bridge were blown up, and the iron chain was pulled out of the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge fell with a bang, and the way forward was opened. A huge flatbed truck was pushed over, loaded with siege explosives packs. Before the war, Zhang Churen cast two slender iron bells, which were the bells in the temple, but this bell was not used to strike, the bell was fixed on a sturdy wooden frame, the bell was forward, and there were thick wooden bars behind it to form a platform. Then the bell was filled with gunpowder and compacted. To facilitate movement, this strange thing was pushed forward on a flatbed. A total of two of these siege explosive packs were made. The flatbed truck crossed the suspension bridge and pushed towards the village.
Zhuang Wall's Zhou Lian Ming saw that the security team pushed a strange thing up, although he didn't understand what the security team was going to do, but he knew that there must be nothing good, so he ordered Zhuang Ding to immediately push the only 10,000 enemies on the wall down, the wooden frame filled with gunpowder mud was ignited, spewing out poisonous flames, quickly spinning, sweeping away the people under the wall, the flatbed truck has not been pushed to the gate of the village, more than half of the people who pushed the cart were killed and injured, the gunpowder in the bell was ignited, a loud bang Zhuang, the personnel outside the door were sprayed down by the gunpowder.
When the siege tower was ignited, Zhang Chu knew that the battle had reached the most critical moment, he did not hesitate to put in all the reserves, and he also led the team to rush up, seeing that the siege explosive package failed to blow up the Zhuang Gate, Zhang Chu immediately ordered the artillery and archers to concentrate on attacking the gatehouse, and he himself and the guards pushed up the only remaining siege explosive package and rushed to the Zhuang Gate, Zhou Lianming on the gatehouse saw that the security team was pushing the cart again, and hurriedly ordered Zhuang Ding to fight back with a bow and arrow against the rain of arrows and shells, and used rockets in order to ignite the flat car. The guards around Zhang Chu fell one by one, the blood stained the car red, and the rockets inserted in the car were blazing, but fortunately, the gunpowder in the bell was not ignited, and Zhang Chu's helmet sounded with the sound of arrows striking, and the armor on his body was full of feather arrows, which looked like a hedgehog from a distance. The car finally pushed through the doorway, the wooden frame was pushed down, the bell was pressed against the village, and the gunpowder was ignited.
