The majestic city walls made of huge and smooth stone blocks are the crystallization of the industriousness and wisdom of the sons and daughters of China, and these buildings are both beautiful and practical, which is definitely an incomparable innovation.

And now, Zhou Yi wants to lead the army to destroy such a perfect masterpiece, which makes him feel deeply guilty, and at the same time, he is even more disgusted with war.

What is war? War: A war between two countries is a phenomenon in which innocent people use their lives and blood to satisfy the desires and needs of the ruler to rule, or a group of people who want to fulfill their selfish desires bewitch and instigate ignorant people, resulting in the displacement of labor and money.

In any case, the existence of war is not inevitable, desire, just endless desire, because of desire there is war.

The Song army assembled under the city of Shezhou, and no one could count the large number of people who were pressed by the black, whether it was 300,000 or 500,000, or if it reached such a scale, 300,000 and 500,000 were no longer important.

The name of the person guarding the city is Fang Yishan, and from the surname, it can be inferred that Fang Yishan and Fang La have an unusual relationship. In fact, it's true, this Fang Yishan is Fang La's eldest nephew, who was originally a centurion of the Song Army, about thirty years old, and it is completely possible to be a petty official at the age of forty or fifty. But after hearing about Fang La's raising of the banner of righteousness, he decisively defected from the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty to help his uncle fight the world. In just over a month, he was already the ruler of Shezhou.

A few days ago, he heard that the 500,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty were coming straight to Shezhou, and he knew that this was simply impossible as he was very familiar with the Song army system. It's like normal people don't put all their eggs in one basket. It is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty, which is also suffering from external troubles, to devote so many troops to such a thing as encircling and suppressing the rebels. Therefore, he behaved calmly. I feel that I will definitely not be like the guard of Muzhou, who is a wretch who only knows how to eat.

The most important thing is that he has made perfect preparations for Zhou Yi's plan to bombard the city wall, such as digging trenches outside the city wall, such as erecting a high barbed wire fence to directly block the cannonballs a few feet away from the city wall.

After doing all this, he quietly waited for the arrival of the Song army.

When Zhou Yi first started, he still wanted to concoct the same method and directly use gunpowder to open the city gate, but he didn't expect that the general who defended the city in Shezhou was still a man with brains. Prepare your plans early on. Zhou Yi then dispelled this idea. At the same time, it can be regarded as talking about this matter to Tong Guan to see, you said that using those things is against people, yes, then I don't need it, you have nothing to say. At the same time, this move is also tantamount to letting Tong Guan know that he Zhou Yi is still very obedient.

In the face of such a situation, Tong Guan was not in a hurry, in Zhou Yi's contact with him so many times, he didn't feel any changes in him, and others said that people who couldn't see the change in expression on their faces were the most terrible enemies. Zhou Yi felt that this sentence was really true, and you couldn't speculate whether he was happy, sad, or angry. Especially when such a person is still your boss. It's even more frightening, I don't know when I'm going to hit the muzzle.

Unlike Zhou Yi, Tong Guan brought personnel within the national establishment, including generals, strategists, and so on. And Zhou Yi's side was either recruited or surrendered on the other side, which was simply a group of miscellaneous troops.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yi completely put on a posture at the bottom, willing to be a foil, where to station and when to advance, this kind of thing is completely Tong Guan's final say, he does not express any opinions, and she will only put forward her thoughts when Tong Guan calls him over.

Zhou Yi's performance satisfied Tong Guan, and now facing Shezhou in front, he also plans to let the soldiers of the Song Army perform well to show their skills.

The tactics he and Zhou Yi had discussed were as follows: Zhou Yi's men were responsible for destroying the iron net, and then the Great Song army launched an attack on the city gates, while Zhou Yi's troops prevented the rebels from abandoning the city and fleeing after the city was broken.

In general, the plan is very simple, in fact, the siege war is very simple, there is no tactics to speak of, it is people and courage to fight, as long as the morale is high and there are still a lot of people, there is a chance that the side will win.

Although it was clear that gunpowder was not applicable, Zhou Yi would never give up using trebuchets, those stones could effectively knock down the barbed wire, and Zhou Yi also found that there were many traps on the ground after the stones landed.

"I'm rubbing, why are you learning from me, brother, you told me no, I didn't pay the copyright royalties, be careful I sue you......" Looking at the large and small caves on the ground, Zhou Yi was slandered, this plagiarism is too obvious.

But in any case, those stones have made these traps visible, and they have no effect, who is blind and sees a pit in front of them and steps on it? That's a dead and deserved one.

Destroying the obstacles in front of him, Tong Guan said that he was very satisfied, but Fang Yishan, who was watching all this on the city wall, was very depressed, this is also something that he worked hard to get out, don't you destroy it so easily, okay?

Subsequently, Tong Guan organized a siege of the city, and the first to open the way was a huge siege vehicle. In fact, the so-called siege vehicle is to cut down a huge tree in the mountain forest and then sharpen it, tie it to a special large wheelbarrow, and hit the city gate. But Zhou Yi still hasn't figured out why explosives are used, even if they hurt something. Could it be that gunpowder weapons have not been developed for so many years? The reason should not be so nonsense!

Let's say that the three siege vehicles approached the city gate at a very fast speed, but the feather arrows on the city wall also quickly shot down, and many Song soldiers were hit and fell to the ground and died, Zhou Yi couldn't bear to look at the tragic picture, how simple, direct and effective it was to use the cannon directly - Zhou Yi was still worried about this matter. Look at the wars 800 years later, all of them are aircraft and artillery in turn, even if it is an iron city wall, it can directly blow you up into scrap, how simple, direct and effective.

Gossip is aside, and then look at the field, in addition to the siege vehicle used to attack the city gate, there is also a siege ladder, the legend says that this thing was invented by Lu Ban, and then there is a legend that this was invented by Mozi, but Lu Ban and Mozi have no chance to jump out and argue about who is the inventor at this time. In short, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such a thing has been used in wars, and after thousands of years, the way of war remains the same, I don't know if this is also a characteristic of China?

The battle situation was very tragic, at least in Zhou Yi's mind, he watched Song Jun fall one by one, and he felt that something was stuffed in his heart, and he panicked. Looking at it now, the city gate is still towering and unbreakable, and I can't help but look very sad.

This situation lasted from morning to noon and then to the evening when there was a breakthrough, after a lot of hardship, the siege vehicle finally opened the city gate, but after the city gate was opened, the Song army was unlucky, and before they could see what was inside, a round of feather arrows shot them into a hornet's nest, which has to be said to be a sad story.

But at least the city gates were opened, and the Song archers were also useful, and they carried out inhumane bombardment of the city gates, forcing the rebels into the city.

The morale of the Song army, which had made a breakthrough, was greatly boosted, and the siege ladder also made progress, and some people began to climb the city wall, but before they could stand firmly, they were cut down by the rebels. That's not all, the rebels took out the oil, tung rape oil, all kinds of colors, the oil was already hot, they poured this oil on the city wall, the city wall so that it would not slip or slip, and the ladder could not be placed at all. With this trick, the ladder lost its effect, and it has to be said to be a miracle.

The walls are gone, but the gates are open. But the matter is obviously not over, someone from above brought a torch and threw it on the city wall, and the orange flame instantly covered the entire wall, turning into a burning curtain, Zhou Yi believes that if it is at night, it will look good.

The screams came and went, and you could suffer knife wounds and arrow wounds, but this kind of pain could never be compared with burns, and if the damage of cold weapons could still be withstanding, the damage of flames was simply unbearable.

When Tong Guan saw this scene, he was immediately annoyed, and he ordered to speed up the attack. The hatred between the two sides has now reached an irreconcilable level, and it is not difficult to imagine that when the Song army enters the city, it will be a white-knuckle battle full of corpses.

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, at least not now, his tens of thousands of people are still outside the city, still far away from the city, and it is not yet time for him to appear.

The rebels at the city gate held out for less than a quarter of an hour before they were overwhelmed by the Song army like a tide, and the Song army entered Shezhou in a mighty way, and the big knives in their hands were already hungry and thirsty, and now they have found the object of venting, so they will naturally not be polite.

Zhou Yi didn't know if they would slaughter the people, even if he knew that he couldn't do anything now, after sighing, he couldn't bear to look at that kind of picture, so he led his men and horses towards the other three city gates. If the rebels escape from these places, he will not hesitate to strike. is still the sentence I said before, since you want to do something to lose your head, you must be aware of losing your head, and when you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.
