After a short period of tension, the Shanglinli theater returned to calm, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding that they looked at each other in silence for fifty miles, and neither had any intention of stirring up disputes. The camp of the wolf running army is said to be strong, more and more materials are piled up in the camp, and more and more heavy siege equipment is being built, but Lu Dalin sneered, he didn't care about Hu He's actions at all, build it, the more you build, the more money you will spend, and these equipment are too simple in the eyes of Shanglinli, and it is useless for the perfect defense system in Shanglin.

"If you want to break through the upper forest, which has enough troops to defend, then you have to fill it with human lives, only when your corpses are piled up as high as the city wall, and only when there are few soldiers left in the city, can the upper forest be broken!" When Lu Dalin inspected the defense system in the forest, he proudly said to his generals.

Although the two armies confronted each other, the people in Shanglin actually began to get out of the enclosure and take care of the barren fields they had cultivated. For the wolf run, which was only fifty miles away from this place, and the cavalry could reach it in less than an hour, he clearly expressed his disdain.

It was quiet in Shanglin, but on the front line of Dingwei, the fighting became more intense.

The original Yellow Division, the current Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner, as many as 40,000 soldiers launched an offensive against Dingyuan, which suddenly became fierce after Najib was killed. Boyan is Bayar's in-law and Bayar's staunchest supporter, including Najib is Boyan's son-in-law, Bayar ascended the throne, and the most likely successor in the future is Najib, and now Bayar's series of arrangements are indeed paving the way for Najib, but now Najib is dead in battle, all plans have come to naught, and Boyan, who may become the ruler of the country, is angry, not only because his daughter lost her husband and his grandson lost his father, but also because he lost nothing because of his largest political investment. In a fit of rage, he drove his 40,000 men and began a violent attack on Dingyuan City.

Of course, it will not be the main force that is yellow and yellow, but those small and medium-sized tribes that have been merged into the two banners after Bayar integrated the steppe tribes.

The soldiers who grew up on horseback got off their horses, carried ladders one after another, braved the rain of arrows to launch a ** impact on Dingyuan, Meng Chong car, siege vehicle approached Dingyuan City one by one, and crashed into the solid city wall, every time it hit, the city wall seemed to shake.

The one-armed Guan Xinglong stood on the high city tower, holding a drumstick with one arm, beating the drum rhythmically, regardless of the cold arrows shot from under the city, his personal guards held shields, covering him from the rain of arrows, the drums did not stop, and the soldiers in the city shouted loudly in the drums, fighting to the death with the barbarian soldiers attached to the ants.

Guan Xinglong didn't know how long the defense of the city would last this time, so although the materials and equipment in Dingyuan City were extremely well prepared, he still decided to save money, the barbarian soldiers pressed the border, maybe when Dingyuan would become an island in the ocean, when the supply line was cut off, it was the most difficult time for Dingyuan.

Under Guan Xinglong's concept, although Dingyuan City is also equipped with a lot of 100-round crossbows, until now, the Dingzhou Army, the most powerful deterrent weapon, has not been used once.

"Good steel should be used on the blade!" Guan Xinglong said.

Although the power of the 100-round crossbow is great, but his consumption is also amazing, each launch is hundreds of arrows, if it is fired continuously, the reserve of crossbow arrows will soon be informed, and now the cavalry of the Huang clan shoots arrows at the galloping horse to the city, in order to suppress the long-range strike on the city, in this rapid movement, the hit rate of the 100-round crossbow is not high. Therefore, Guan Xinglong's strategy was to ignore these cavalry and only deal a fatal blow to the besieging infantry.

Guan Xinglong dared to do this, also because the current Dingzhou army has excellent armor, and the arrows shot from the city, as long as they do not hit the vital point, they cannot cause fatal damage to the soldiers at all, and the perfect medical system in Dingzhou can quickly restore the combat effectiveness of lightly injured soldiers.

The trebuchet set up in the city made a crumbling sound every other pillar of incense, and rows of polished round stone bullets flew high from the city, smashed into the city, fell on the hard ground, jumped and rolled forward, and where they passed, the soldiers who could not avoid it were knocked into broken tendons, and the unlucky ones were crushed by the stone bullets, and after the stone bullets, the whole person was pressed to the ground and became flat.

If the huge siege equipment is hit by one in the front, there will only be a pile of tatters left, and even if it is rubbed by these round stone bullets, it will fall to the ground with a bang, and if it is not dragged back for overhaul, it will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield again. Although the hit rate of trebuchets is really not high, there are too many soldiers under the city who are as dense as ant locusts, and as long as the trebuchet hits a pre-set area, it will definitely roll out a bloody mess. As for whether you can play those heavy equipment, it depends on luck.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, although it takes a lot of effort to polish this stone bullet, it really needs to be obtained!" Guan Xinglong danced excitedly, but unfortunately, there are only a dozen trebuchets in the city, and they launch turtle speed, otherwise these barbarians are really not enough.

The ladder was erected, the barbarians held a shield in one hand, held the ladder in the other, bit the knife in their mouths, and quickly climbed up, on the wall of Dingyuan City, which was more than a mile long, there was a ladder erected every less than ten meters away, and under the ladder, there were piles of corpses.

The soldiers of the city stood up, holding the stones in their hands, and threw them down with a roar, and the trees fell with ropes, and each time they rose and fell, they took several lives. More soldiers held the push rod in their hands, forked the head of the ladder, and everyone joined forces, shouted, and pushed the ladder far away, and everyone laughed, watching the barbarians on the ladder either fall into the air, dancing and falling like a stone, or climbing the ladder to the death, and falling down with the ladder, but the end is the same.

A pot of boiling oil was raised, and the soldiers did not look at the situation below, but fell down with their wrists, and in an instant, there was a terrible howl that did not sound like a human voice under the city, and the hot grease was added to the feces, and it was generally difficult for the burned people to heal.

The improved Eight Ox crossbows could fire four long crossbows at a time, but their target was the large siege engines, and every time everyone heard the familiar humming sound, they knew that four more long crossbows were about to shoot out.

At present, all the people of Dingyuan City have been evacuated in advance, and there are only 5,000 soldiers left in the city, according to Li Qing's requirements, they will hold on and cannot retreat. Although facing an enemy several times his size, Guan Xinglong was not afraid, this fierce general who was appreciated for his fame in the battle to capture the flag with the Wolf Running Army had a combative factor in his bones, and the stronger the enemy, the more excited he became. Although he broke an arm, could no longer hold a bow, and could no longer shoot arrows, he relied on tenacity and perseverance to master the ability to control the horse with only his legs and fight with a knife with one arm. God closed a door for him, but opened another window for him, and the one-armed Guan Xinglong had extremely strong arms, holding a knife in one hand, and could cut off a foot-thick garden tree with a single knife.

"The marshal once said when he taught us a lesson, the besieger will attack it ten times and surround it five times, otherwise it will be difficult to break the fortified city, this Boyan doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, he actually wants to take my Dingyuan by attacking so strongly, hum, give him a lesson, let him be at ease."

Guan Xinglong sneered as he continued to beat the cowhide drum in front of him.

Boyan's trebuchet was finally pushed to the range, due to technical reasons, the range of the barbarian's trebuchet was always not as long as the range of Dingzhou, and sending the large and cumbersome siege weapon of the trebuchet to such a close distance was likely to be hit by the other party's focus, but Boyan didn't care, his trebuchet was distributed on the attack surface more than a mile long, and this time the attack of the grassland barbarians was fully prepared, and the craftsmen were all brought with them in the camp, while losing, while replenishing, he was not afraid of losing these things, Just hoping that these things can give the state a certain blow, even if he only has a chance to shoot a stone bullet, but as long as this stone bullet falls on the city wall and falls among the soldiers in the city, Boyan feels that it is worth it.

Sure enough, when Boyan's trebuchet appeared, the eight bull crossbows in the city adjusted the focus of their attacks to attack these trebuchets, and the trebuchets in the city also adjusted their range and began to attack these weapons that could pose a threat to Dingyuan from a distance.

Boyan's slight effect was immediate, although the threat posed by the trebuchet to Dingyuan City was not great, but it effectively contained the counterattack in the city, and the pressure of the soldiers besieging the city was immediately greatly reduced, and the siege vehicles and Meng Chong vehicles rushed to the city one after another. The screaming barbarian soldiers quickly jumped up the city wall along the ladder and along the siege engine, and the barbarians attacked the city wall for the first time.

Meet at close quarters.

Guan Xinglong waved the command flag, and his first reserve appeared on the city wall, these reserves were prepared for this moment, and the soldiers brandished spears and steel knives, and rushed forward, where there was danger, these reserves appeared, and the spears and knives slashed, and drove the barbarians who had not gained a firm foothold out of the city again. Those who can attack the city wall are warriors from all departments, and their individual combat power is extremely strong, but the Dingzhou soldiers have always emphasized the power of collective combat, and rows of spears are poked out collectively, and the division of labor is extremely clear.

When the last barbarian who attacked the city looked at the dense spears in front of him, his eyes showed a look of despair, and he actually turned around and jumped from the high city wall, the corpses under the city wall were extremely high, if he was lucky, he might survive, but he was poked a few times by these guns, then there was no way to live.

The attack of the day was extremely fierce, up and down the city, there were lying corpses everywhere, although the Dingzhou soldiers occupied a favorable position, and the weapons were also much ahead of the opponent, but in the face of this intensity of attack, they still paid a lot of casualties, when the sun sank in the west, and the barbarians blew the horn of collecting troops, Guan Xinglong finally breathed a sigh of relief, the first day, it was finally over.
