The Song army still settled down outside the city of Xuzhou on the morning of the next day, and after the large camp was set up, it was almost impossible to see the edge at a glance, and at a cursory glance, it was known that the Song army had at least tens of thousands of people, and in less than the afternoon, the entire city of Xuzhou was surrounded, and the surrounding was so impassable that even a fly could not fly out.

Looking at the closed gate of Xuzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the flags fluttering on the city, Gao Huaiyuan knew that the Jin army had not yet entered Xuzhou City, no matter what, they still rushed to surround Xuzhou City before the arrival of the Jin army.

On the afternoon of the arrival of the Song army, a large number of Song troops began to shout outside the city, repeatedly demanding that the defenders in the city immediately open the city and surrender, otherwise, they would attack the city and kill them without leaving a single chicken and dog, and at the same time shouted for Lu Futong to immediately go out of the city to ask for guilt, and consider forgiving him for his fault in surrendering to the Jin State.

After hearing the shouts, the defenders in the city were in a mess, seeing the strong Song army and the Flying Tiger army outside the city, each majestic and high-spirited posture, and then looking at the equipment of others, these defenders in the city were deflated on the spot.

Speaking of soldiers, everyone is fully armored, bright armor, swords and guns, and then look at them, not to mention the armor, there is no comparison, even the weapons, they are also shabby and pitiful, turn their heads to see that there are still people with a nail rake, and even some people are holding wooden sticks, dung forks, bows and arrows are even less pitiful, ten people are not worthy of a bow, let alone a crossbow, whether there is one in a hundred people, maybe, all heavy weapons are some rolling wood and stones, A few improvised patchwork of rudimentary throwers.

If such a weapon wants to withstand the attack of the Song army, it is like talking in a dream, and most of the defenders were immediately deflated, among which those who were newly recruited by force had no fighting spirit at all, and they were so frightened that they peed their pants when they saw the Song army, and they hid under the women's wall with their necks bent, not even daring to show their heads.

Lu Futong began to regret it, regretting that it was better to surrender to the court at the beginning, so he could also mix a reward, the official is a little smaller, at least there is a lot of silver to take every month, now it is good, he has descended to the Jin country, although the gold lord is very generous, verbally promised to reward him, and also appointed him a Xuzhou Xuancheng envoy, the official is not small, but until now a big son has not seen the gold lord send someone to send, let alone a soldier!

But there is no turning back from the bow, no matter how he regrets it, he can't surrender to the Song army anymore, he is now an official of the Jin State, and he was caught by the Song army, and he must have pushed it out with a click, cut off his head and hung on the gate of Xuzhou City, and the final result was to be fed to wild dogs by the violent corpse wilderness.

Therefore, Lu Futong did not dare to surrender the city, he had to persevere, and waited until the Jin army came to support and defeated the Song army to survive, so he immediately dressed up neatly and sent his cronies to supervise the battle on the city walls everywhere, and he himself personally ran to the east gate tower to supervise the battle, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Song army.

The matter was urgent, although Gao Huaiyuan knew that he had come lightly, and a large number of siege baggage had fallen behind and had not yet arrived here, he still did not dare to delay, and even if he gave the order to start attacking the city overnight.

A night siege has an advantage, that is, the enemy army cannot see the soldiers under the city clearly, which can reduce the accuracy of the arrows fired by the defenders of the city, and reduce the casualties of the siege troops when they are close to the city wall, but at the same time, it also brings command difficulties and is easy to cause accidental injuries.

But he still made up his mind to start the siege that night, even if he couldn't defeat it, he had to lay the foundation for the arrival of a large number of siege equipment, and always maintain a threatening posture against the defenders in the city, so that the morale of the other party would be even lower.

As a result, just after the hour of the night, the Song army launched an attack outside the four gates, and a group of Song troops carried the half-cut boats and gate boards that had just been put together, covering the soldiers who carried bags of sand and soil on their shoulders, and after a shout, they rushed towards the moat.

Fortunately, the moat in Xuzhou is not wide, if it is replaced with a moat with a width of one or two hundred meters like Xiangyang, it is estimated that the only way to cross it is to drive a boat or erect a pontoon bridge, so at the moment their method is to fill the moat with sand bags first, and open up a few passages to the foot of the city.

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Gao Huaiyuan simply divided the soldiers and horses into three waves, took turns to fight, and the two groups of people rested outside the city if they were fine, leaving only a small number of people to watch the city gate, preventing Lu Futong from sending troops out to raid it, and a group of people beat gongs and drums overnight and shouted to kill the day carrying sandbags, and repeatedly sent them to the moat to fill the moat.

Lu Futong was very nervous, for fear that Xuzhou City would be conquered by the Song army by accident, and he didn't even dare to sleep, so he personally sat at the head of the city and urged the defenders to fight back at the head of the city. will also surrender immediately, but they will just send people to the Song army in vain, so Lu Futong did not dare to send people out of the city to counterattack, so he could only urge his subordinates to release arrows on the city wall to defend it.

Without the help of too many heavy weapons, with only a small number of his bows and crossbows, he basically couldn't cause much casualties to the Song army at night, just to give himself courage.

And the Song army is not polite to them, while sending people to constantly transport earth and stone to fill the moat, while setting up archers outside the city, and firing arrows towards the city, and the Song army is very cunning, outside the city does not light torches, lamp balls and other things to illuminate, they use the light ball torches lit on the city wall as the target, and as long as someone shows their heads at the battlement, they will strive to release arrows, and as a result, the Song army suffered few casualties overnight, but the defenders were shot and killed by the Song army, and at least hundreds of people fell under the arrows of the Song army in one night.

It was not clear at night, but Lu Futong, who had been busy all night at dawn, found that he didn't get any bargain at all, but was injured by the Song army, and the Song army was busy all night, but in an orderly manner, he filled in several passages on the moat outside the city, preparing for the attack during the day.

The Song army that attacked the city at night collected its troops and went back to the camp to sleep after dawn, and replaced it with a wave of Song troops who had rested all night, and continued to do it! But Lu Futong, who didn't close his eyes all night, didn't have such a good life, he just sent away a wave of plague gods, ushered in another wave of plague gods, and then worked hard.

In short, although the Song army attacked the city fiercely, it did not stop for a moment, braving the arrows and stones at the head of the city, methodically filling the moat, laying the passage through the moat, one wave was tired, replaced by a wave, and continued to develop towards the foot of the city.

After another day, Lu Futong couldn't stand still, his eyes were red, everyone was a little fluttering, he wanted to take a rest, and he was afraid that the Song army would launch a strong attack, so he held on to the city, because his elite soldiers were limited, and he didn't dare to let his subordinates rest, but after a day and two nights, the defenders became a tired army.

When the Song army arrived at the dawn of the third day of the city of Xuzhou, Lu Futong looked outside the city again, the result was a gasp, overnight, hundreds of stone-throwing vehicles appeared outside the city, and the dawn was already arranged in place, at this time a large number of Song troops out of the camp, lined up outside the city, and launched all kinds of siege equipment, gathered in the open space outside the city.

Brother Lu! It's not a way to fight like this! Song Jun is deliberately boiling us! If it goes on like this, one day it will come down, and our people will be crushed! Or divide the troops and let the brothers rest and rest, so that they can last a few more days! An adjutant general persuaded the dumbfounded Lu Futong.

Rest a fart! Can't you see that the Song army is coming for reinforcements again today? Are you blind to those carts and bed crossbows outside the city? Can't see it? Today, the Song army will definitely launch an onslaught! No one is allowed to go down to the city, so prepare more rolling wood and stones, boiling oil, lead and other things, and I can withstand it! In addition, recruit those who dare to die in the army, and at night I will forcibly break out, and hurry to Guide Mansion to ask for help! Lu Futong angrily pointed at the Song army outside the city and shouted.

This lieutenant was immediately dumbfounded, quickly turned around, and began to beckon people to speed up the transportation of imperial equipment to the city wall, and also offered a reward to recruit the daring to prepare to break through at night to ask for help, in short, they still can't rest, so let's do it!

After the sound of war drums, the hundreds of stone-throwing vehicles set up by the Song army outside the city began to attack collectively, and the long cannon arms were raised one after another, throwing the stones with the whistling sound towards the city head violently, and soon fell on the city wall, and the smashed city wall began to tremble like a sifting chaff.

The inexperienced recruits were frightened by this sight, and instead of looking for cover, they ran around the city with their heads in their hands, and as a result, after the artillery fell, even if many recruits were stoned to death, how could they withstand the smashing of the stones! When there are many people who are smashed with blurred flesh and blood, broken tendons and fractures, it is easy to say that they are dead, and there is no movement after falling, I am afraid that someone will be smashed and break their legs and feet, and they will scream wildly, and the sound of screaming makes people who have never been on the battlefield feel numb in their scalps, and their feet are so weak that they don't know what to do.

A few frightened newcomers threw away their weapons regardless of it, turned over with their heads in their hands, and fled down the city along the horse road on the city wall, and the chaotic scene made everyone feel desperate when they saw it.

Whoever dares to escape from the battle will be killed on the spot! Lu Futong lay under a * female wall with red eyes, dodging the artillery stone, and shouted to his own soldiers.
