The walls did not stupidly wait for the enemy to attack, but were well prepared. Some of the soldiers are boiling gold juice. The so-called golden juice is a big dung soup, although this kind of thing is filthy, it is a sharp weapon to defend the city, and it is specialized in the soldiers who are attached to the ants to attack the city. This thing is difficult to block, once it is poured on the human body, it will burn the skin, and the fecal juice contains all kinds of bacteria, which is difficult to heal after burning. Another part of the soldiers was boiling the oil. The boiling point of oil is higher than that of water, and if you are poured with boiling oil, it is not a joke, death will not solve the problem, it will be cooked immediately. And at the right time, if the fire goes down, the oil will burn immediately, and the besiegers will die a miserable death. But it has been besieged for more than half a month, and there is not much oil in the city, and now the fritter stalls in the city have long disappeared, replaced by noodle shops - there are no fried fritters, isn't it just a thicker noodle?

In addition to these two liquid city defense equipment, there are also solid city defense facilities on the city - rolling wood and stone. According to the Cangzhou garrison Lü Ping's Jian, these rolling logs have made some improvements today. Iron rings were nailed to both sides of the rolling wood, and ropes were tied to the iron rings to form a recyclable rolling log. There was less and less thick wood in the city, and if you littered the wood as before, you would have to throw thin sticks. Although this kind of rolling log cannot hit the people at the bottom of the city wall, its power has been weakened, but it can be used repeatedly. Not only that, but Lu Ping also had people put many nails on the rolling log, turning it into a mace-style rolling log. This guy goes down, and the besiegers have to lose half their lives if they don't die.

"Click". It is the sound of siege ladders on the city walls. It seems that the rebels are still a tendon, and they take the ant-attached siege with the greatest casualties, anyway, there are many of them. It doesn't matter how many more people die.

Xu Ruzhi gave an order, and many soldiers stepped forward and pushed the ladder with their hands or sticks. The ladders of the rebels were improvised, very rudimentary, and easily overturned. The rioters on the ladder fell down with a strange scream of "wow". The archers in the chaos released their arrows one after another, and the soldiers defending the city were bent on pushing the ladders, not paying attention to the enemy's arrows. There were heavy casualties, and many soldiers screamed and fell off the city wall.

The ladder of the rebels finally gained a foothold on the city walls. Every ladder was full of rioters. Xu Ruzhi immediately ordered someone to pour the gold juice and boiling oil down. Just listen to the sound of "bang", crawl in the first place, fantasize about being the first to enter the city to rob to your heart's content, and the chaotic people who vent their beasts and desires are drenched all over their faces. Screaming and falling down the ladder, he smashed the soldiers behind them with him, rolling and howling underneath. The second group was ready and went up with their shields. The poured gold juice and hot oil splattered at once, and though a few of the hot oil splashed on themselves and made them shiver, they were not badly injured and did not roll down the ladder. Unfortunately for those who didn't raise their shields, they hadn't started climbing the ladder yet. Where do you know that God will send a catastrophe, scalding to death and countless burns.

When the rebels climbed two-thirds of the way to the wall, victory was in sight. Xu Ruzhi shouted: "Throw the rolling wood!" ”

The rolling log "Gollum" rolled down the ladder and smashed the top rioters down. Then the rolling log was pulled up again, and the rolling wood was drenched in blood, and there were still a few pieces of human skin, and it seemed that the person who was hit must have been miserable. Nevertheless. There is still a loss of rolling wood. Because of the heavy casualties, the rebels went crazy, and they no longer cared about their own people attacking the city. Throw arrows onto the walls and use bows and arrows to suppress the city defenses. More than a dozen warriors who threw the log were shot by arrows, screamed and fell off the tower, rolling the log with wolf fangs, and ploughed a blood belt through the crowd.

Xu Ruzhi saw that there were more and more people under the city wall, and they were getting denser and denser, so he sneered and said, "Throw ten thousand enemies." ”

The soldiers lit the fuse of the 10,000-strong enemy and threw them down. Ten thousand enemies swirled and spewed flames, and all of them were invincible, ghosts cried wolves, and suffered heavy casualties.

The 10,000-strong enemy is an incendiary weapon made of black powder, covered with mud shells, and it is a weapon for defending the city that has only recently been developed. Ignite the fuse and throw it down, and the enemy will spew flames while spinning, which is a very lethal weapon.

Cangzhou is close to the sea, but there are few Japanese robbers, it is very peaceful, and it will not be equipped with such weapons as 10,000 enemies. However, Guizhou Tusi extravagant Chongming rebelled, and the military department delivered supplies to the counterinsurgency army there, taking the Jinghang Grand Canal, and as a result, the people of Cangzhou rebelled, and the materials could not be transported. In order to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of the rioters, the escort officer ordered all the materials to be transported into Cangzhou City. Xu Ruzhi learned that there was a weapon called "10,000 enemies" and forcibly requisitioned it. It's also a shame to have this kind of weapon, otherwise Cangzhou City might have been captured a long time ago.

Despite all the tricks on the walls, the rebels slowly climbed the walls, first one or two, then a group. The rebels shouted loudly under the city, thinking that Cangzhou City was about to be broken.

Xu Ruzhi saw a chaotic person climb up the city wall along the ladder and reveal his ugly face. He picked up a stone that had been prepared on the ground, sneered, and said, "I'll give you a gift." ”

With that, he threw the stone over.

The rebel was stunned, gift? He involuntarily caught the stone. The stone was very heavy, and when others lived on their backs, their weight shifted back, they were unsteady on their feet, and they fell off the city wall with a strange scream.

Xu Ruzhi shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to fight hard, you must defend the city wall!" Your father and mother, your wives and your children are in the city, and you will not be able to keep it, and your father and mother will be killed by them, and your wives and daughters will be ruined by them, and your sons will be slaughtered by them. ”

Garrison Lu Ping struggled to cut down a rebel, but he didn't expect another rebel to swing a knife at him. Lu Ping couldn't stop it, and said in his heart, my life is at rest. Unexpectedly, the rebel slowly collapsed to the ground, and the knife grazed his neck.

Lu Ping wondered who had saved him, but he saw an arrow stuck in the waistcoat of the rebels. The arrows in the city have run out, and the rebel is an arrow in his vest, and his back is facing out of the city, that is, he was killed by his own people.

And the people also went up to the city to help defend it. Cangzhou martial arts is quite popular, and adults and children practice martial arts. Seeing that the city was in danger of being breached, and hearing about the tragic plight of the people in Nanpi County and nearby, they went to the city to participate in the battle.

With the addition of a new force, the defensive line of the city wall was gradually stabilized, and the rebels were killed and retreated.

At this moment, I heard a "knock...... Boom...... Boom", the entire city wall shook. Xu Ruzhi looked at it, but it was a strange car that was crashing into the city gate.

"W-what weird thing is this?"

"Lord Xu, this is a siege vehicle." Garrison Lu Ping had seen this kind of weapon and said, "There is a battering ram inside, which is specially used to attack the city gate." ”

A few soldiers threw down the 10,000 enemies, but the flames spewed by the 10,000 enemies could only spray on the outside of the siege vehicle, and there was nothing they could do about the people inside the car. Moreover, the outside of the siege vehicle was coated with a layer of thin mud, so even if you wanted to burn the car, there was no way.

Lu Ping picked up a huge stone and smashed it at the siege vehicle, shouting loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you smash it quickly." We don't have a city jam here, and as soon as the gates are broken, we're finished. ”

The people around them suddenly came to their senses, and hurriedly picked up the stones and rolling logs on the ground and threw them at the cart, until the stones and rolling logs on the city wall were exhausted, and the siege engine fell apart.

The battle lasted until noon.

Hearing the sound of the other party's "boom" to collect the troops, Lu Ping gasped and said, "Lord Xu, when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, our materials for defending the city are almost exhausted." Even the 10,000 enemies that the adults are going to come for, there are more than 100 left. If this continues, Cangzhou City will not be able to be saved. ”

Xu Ruzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, the piece asking for help has already been conveyed to heaven." But I didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to such an extent, and the cannons are not too strict. It wasn't until the rebels besieged the city that I realized that I had underestimated them. However, the letter could not be delivered. ”

However, Xu Ruzhi's expression turned to resoluteness and said: "The emperor's grace and the people's kindness, I can only repay with death." ”

Lu Ping laughed and said, "Lord Xu is still a literati who can sacrifice his life for the country, so I, a general, will have to be shrouded in horse leather." ”

Although the two looked relaxed, they knew in their hearts that if no reinforcements arrived, Cangzhou City would inevitably fall, and if they died, there would be nothing, and the people of the whole city would suffer. (To be continued)
