Under the city of Anyang, Chen Lin: "Gao Shun, don't move the camp first, you will command these 3,000 people to attack first, and the cavalry will be on guard against a surprise attack in the city at any time." In this way, the three thousand soldiers who surrendered in Canyang were sent by Chen Lin as the vanguard, and began to carry the cloud ladder and storm Anyang City regardless of life and death. For several days, more than half of the 3,000 men and horses were killed and wounded, but Anyang City remained immovable, and on this day Chen Lin, Jia Xu and Gao Shun gathered together to discuss.

Gao Shun: "Lord, the guards of Anyang County will resist with iron heart, and now our army has more than 1,000 casualties and still can't make any achievements, and the last general is incompetent, please punish the lord." Chen Lin hurriedly relieved, and asked Ji and Jia Xu again: "Wenhe, what do you think?" Jia Xu lowered his head and pondered, only raised his head after half a sound, and said: "The lord forgives the sins, and the lord is powerless, but the city of Anyang County is very quiet, I don't know what way the guards have to subdue the city sergeant clan properly, and I ask the lord to forgive the sin." ”

Chen Lin looked at it, okay, no one can be blamed for this, alas, Chen Lin and the others are helpless. At this time, a notice came from outside the barracks, saying that Bi Lan's disciple Ma Deheng asked to see him. When Chen Lin heard this, he was strange, this horse was not good at helping the people build overturned cars to irrigate fields and build water conservancy with Bi Lan, but what did he do here. So he ordered someone to bring it in, and Ma Jun still spoke with the same stammering appearance: "Bye-by-meet Tai-Taishou-sama." ”

As soon as Chen Lin asked, what Ma Jun said made Chen Lin ecstatic, and Ma Jun said: "Wen - Wen Taishou Lord, long-long-long attack rice thief, Jun - Jun come to offer a thing to help the Lord quell - quell the rebellion." Chen Lin couldn't wait, a group of people were worried about the siege of the city, I heard that Ma Jun had a way, and hurriedly asked, but unfortunately Ma Jun still stammered slowly, and everyone died in a hurry.

Ma Jun explained that it took nearly an hour to roughly explain that Ma Jun was able to build a large number of siege equipment according to ancient books, and ordered the "tower". It can help the besieging side get close to the city wall, and put a ladder down to the wall, so that the soldiers in the tower can rush out and fight the defenders. When Chen Lin heard this, this thing was even higher than the city wall, could it really be made? So he asked Ma Jun, and Ma Jun swore that as long as there were 200 people to help, it would be a tower within ten days.

Chen Lin stood up and thought for a long time, then raised his head and ordered: "Gao Shun, immediately send two thousand soldiers and Deheng, and make sure to build ten 'towers' within ten days." As soon as Ma Jun heard that Chen Lin had adopted his own method, his joy was undoubtedly revealed, and he added a little, it turned out that these siege towers needed flat terrain to move smoothly, and he hoped that Chen Lin would do a good job in advance, so as not to delay the siege at that time.

So the scale of the siege of the past was gone, only the constant raising of shields to fill the road, and a few horses did the most cheerful, commanding the men and horses to go into the mountains to cut down wood and transport it back, and build siege towers. To the west of Anyang is Tielong Mountain and Qi Mountain, which stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are no trees, and the horses are as thick as a waist plate, wrapped in cowhide, and they are busy non-stop. Chen Lin came to check every day, and saw that the monster was three or five feet wide, getting taller and taller, and the ten such siege towers in the camp were gradually completed. On the last day, Chen Lin approached Ma Jun, looked at the ten huge siege towers, swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "Reward, reward a hundred taels of gold." Although he didn't know what the result was, Chen Lin was already shocked, and he directly rewarded Ma Jun.

Seeing the ten towers, three feet high, a few feet higher than the city wall, with hideous faces, the huge wheels under the seats fell straight into the mud, and I didn't know how heavy this thing was, Chen Lin couldn't help but say to himself: "Who can move." Instead, he hurriedly said to Gao Shun: "Gao Shun, are all the sergeants in the army proficient in the use of this thing?" ”

Gao Shun hurriedly responded: "My lord, the sergeant has learned to use it, please be relieved." "It can already be used, then let's carry it out, Chen Lin can't wait to see the power of this tower, anyway, it should be a mighty sound like this. So he ordered the whole army: "Attack at the right time." "Gao Shun is busy again, burying the pot and preparing the ordnance.

The time soon came, and the army was ready, Chen Lin: "Gao Shun, in this battle, in addition to the cavalry, the whole army is dispatched, and the ten siege towers will attack together, and it is bound to fall in one battle." So Gao Shun commanded the trapping camp to protect the six towers to advance, and Chen Lin personally commanded the remaining more than 1,000 foot soldiers to also start attacking. A hundred big men are pulling forward, a hundred big men are pushing back, and the huge and hideous siege tower can really move slowly. Chen Lin was the first to cheer and shout: "The giant beast has moved." The whole army was also very excited, and shouted in unison, when had everyone seen such a huge thing, who was not the first time to see it.

Chen Lin turned around in the group of guards and said to Ma Jun: "With this siege weapon, isn't it indestructible, hahaha." At this time, Ma Jun said something that made Chen Lin crazy: "Great-sir, although this thing is powerful, it is not invincible, according to ancient books, if there is a stone thrower in the city, it is the nemesis of this thing." Ma Jun was able to finish almost in one go, which was really surprising, but Chen Lin was surprised that it was the nemesis that Ma Jun said, so he hurriedly asked.

It turned out that the siege tower was moving slowly, and if it encountered a stone thrower, it would be struck by a huge stone. This stone thrower is another sharp weapon to throw boulders out and throw them at the enemy. Chen Lin was worried after hearing this, and Jia Xu saw it and hurriedly said: "The lord is relieved, how can there be such a good hand in this small Anyang County to make this thing." ”

Chen Lin thought about it, this craftsman is not something that anyone can do. The ten huge monsters in front of them slowly advanced towards the city wall, and the defenders in the city had already seen it, and the sergeants poked their heads out and pointed, not knowing what it was. Seeing these monsters slowly coming towards him, he suddenly panicked, and his face turned pale with fright, suspecting that the gods were angry. The defender also saw it clearly, this defender had some insight and knew that this was a siege, but at this time, the defender was also looking at the front in frustration. couldn't help but face the east, in the direction of Nan Zheng, and murmured: "Master, the disciple has done his best." The guard clearly saw the outcome of the battle, but suddenly looked up and looked ahead fiercely. shouted loudly: "The master adheres to the will of heaven, those are just small skills of carving insects, not very gods, but there are people pulling them to move forward, don't panic." "Trying to restore morale.

The siege tower was really moving slowly, and it took half an hour to get to the city, and the big men in front of the tower lowered their heads, bent forward, and suddenly showed a big shield on their backs, which turned out to be prepared to prevent archery in the city. Chen Lin saw this momentum, quite satisfied, and ordered the three armies to deter the city again, and shouted in unison: "Those who descend will not be killed" For a while, the hearts of the people on the city wall were shaken.

As they approached the walls, the defenders of the city cried and tried to shoot arrows at the monster, but there was a bang, and the monster was unharmed. When it was less than two feet away from the city wall, the siege tower stopped, and ten huge objects several feet higher than the city wall suddenly smashed down a heavy wooden plank, connecting the giant tower and the city wall. A group of waiting sergeants rushed out of the tower, slashing with their swords, and a steady stream of sergeants quickly climbed the tower from the ladder inside the tower to join the battle of the city walls.

Chen Lin saw that it was too smooth, and turned around and laughed at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu too: "However, Xu has tens of millions of strategies, and he can't catch up with a craftsman at this time." Chen Lin hurriedly said: "The craftsman is an assistant, if you want to settle the world, you still need to rely on Yangwen and such great sages." Thinking of the overturned car built by Bi Lan and the siege tower built by Ma Jun in front of him, Chen Lin also saw the ability of a craftsman. So on the spot, he ordered Bi Lan and Ma Jun to protect them at all times, and not to let there be an accident.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, in the future, when using this thing, in addition to the stone throwing machine accident mentioned by Fang Cai Deheng, it is also necessary to prevent the enemy army in the city from suddenly going out of the city to destroy the sharp weapon." Chen Lin felt reasonable. Jia Xu said: "At the same time, the promise is to defend, you can set fire to the wall of the siege tower at the landing board, so it can be seen that the soldiers in the tower can not attack the wall, and then slowly try to do it." Jia Xu was deeply afraid that Chen Lin was obsessed with siege weapons, these things were just auxiliary tools after all, and the real invincible was the political and military practitioners, so Jia Xu listed several ways to break the siege tower.

Chen Lin sighed: "I can't imagine such a thing, it's not invincible." Chen Lin then said: "This battle is not over yet, don't be careless, let's take this city first." After Chen Lin finished speaking, he personally stepped forward to grab the drumming stick and beat the drum hard, and the army knew that Chen Lin personally beat the drum, and his morale was greatly boosted, and the city wall was submerged in an instant, and the city wall was successfully captured. Gao Shun also ascended to the city to command, quickly opened the city gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, the guards were no longer here at this time, and they actually gathered a thousand guards to defend in the palace and refused to surrender.

Gao Shun surrounded the government and the government, did not attack for the time being, and came to ask Chen Lin for instructions. After hearing this, Chen Lin thought that the battle in the city was over, but he didn't expect this to happen, so he looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu said: "Gao Duwei, control other places in the city first, don't do more casualties for this stubborn gangster, just attack it with fire." Gao Shun got the order to go, quickly took control of the four gates, and finally set fire to the mansion, 600 people surrendered, and 400 committed suicide. As soon as Chen Lin entered the city, he heard that there was such a loyal and righteous person, although he was a thief, but it was admirable, so he ordered the burial of the guards and four hundred guards.

Chen Lin and the others entered the city to check, and were stunned by the madness of the guards or Zhang Xiu, the six families in the city, more than 3,000 people were slaughtered, Chen Lin then understood why the city of Anyang was so quiet, there was no resistance, it turned out that they were all killed. At the same time, Chen Lin didn't know why there was a trace of joy in his heart, the Anyang Shi clan was gone, that was a good thing for Chen Lin from outside. So Chen Lin immediately went out to settle the people, and the food subsidized the people, and the panicked people in the city knew that it was the officers and soldiers who came in, and they immediately felt a lot more relieved, and saw Chen Lin distributing food, and the whole city shouted Chen Lin's benevolence.

Chen Lin saw that Anyang had fallen, so he wanted to take Yangping Pass first, but Jia Xu said that Zhang Xiu was in Nanzheng, as long as Nanzheng was down, Yangping Pass would naturally surrender. So Chen Lin sent spies to investigate the situation in Yangping Pass, and learned that Yangping Pass was only guarded by 1,000 people, so he didn't care, and began to reorganize the army, this time directly filling the trapped camp with 3,000 troops, and sending the excess home. After all, the 3,000 troops of Weiyang stormed Anyang and made meritorious contributions, and for the nearly 1,000 new prisoners in Anyang, Chen Lin still sent them to the east and cultivated the official road for one year according to the previous decision.
