Fortunately, Wen Ji's ability to command the army is indeed very good, since he took office last year, not only eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Dingying County, but also successfully recruited a group of new soldiers, and this year, he has also successfully won their support and loyalty.

At this moment, whether they are soldiers of the Han Court or soldiers under Wen Ji, Dingying City is the object they swear to defend, unless Wen Ji himself says that he wants to surrender, they will not surrender, no matter how difficult the situation is!

"General, the enemy army has surrounded the four gates of Dingying City, obviously intending to surround us to death in the city!" Rao is like this, and a big news that is not good for the morale of the army still came.

Hearing the news, and looking at the trebuchet that was gradually taking shape, those assistant soldiers couldn't help but have a deep fear.

They are not Han soldiers, they are just temporary to help in defense, to put it bluntly, they are smashing rocks and logs, or dragging wounded soldiers back for treatment, so that they can take the initiative to participate in the battle, that is impossible. In fact, Wen Ji even said that if the other party attacked the city wall, they would be allowed to surrender as soon as possible.

But that's what he said, but now the other party's commander has spoken, if the city is broken, there will definitely be a killing, and it is obvious that he intends to slaughter the city. At that time, these soldiers who assisted in the defense will obviously be the first to be killed. At that time, the other party will naturally not spare himself because he surrenders.

Therefore, there is only one way in front of them, that is, before the city is broken, Wen Ji is tied up, and then sent out.

There is no shortage of people who dare to think and dare to do in any era, that is, behind Wen Ji, the five assistant defense soldiers began to think carefully, and after exchanging glances, they picked up the rope and rushed towards Wen Ji.

"Wait for you to dare to do this!" Wen Ji was also paying attention to everything around him, and the other party reacted as soon as he acted.

The Wen family is also a family of military generals, and Wen Ji's brother Wen Chou is the leader of this generation. With him as an example, Wen Ji is naturally not far behind, he studies hard every day, and it takes fifteen years to achieve today's achievements.

Seeing the five people rushing in, Wen Ji didn't use his weapons, but just flew away, and his fists were slammed out, but he smashed the two assistant defense soldiers out with one punch. Immediately, the figure jumped up suddenly, and the right leg was swept out suddenly, knocking the remaining three people out of the air, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, like lightning but fleeting in the blink of an eye, and others had not even reacted, these five soldiers had fallen under the city wall, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

"If there are any more disturbers in the hearts of the army, just like these three people!" Wen Ji stood still, pointed to the five non-moving assistant guards under the city, and shouted at the other soldiers.

All the guys who were about to move immediately quieted down, obviously they had realized that Wen Ji was not easy to deal with.

"Give me all in place, the enemy army is coming up, I will wait for the commander to meet the battle, and you will have nothing to ask for when the time comes, so give me some leisure!" The other soldiers also took action one after another, and while protecting Wen Ji, they also began to reprimand the other auxiliary defense soldiers.

Afraid of death, of course they are afraid of death, but if it weren't for Wen Ji, they would have starved to death last year. Now that you are a soldier and eat food, you can still let your family eat with your military salary, and you can only repay this great favor with your life! The soldiers of Dingying County are actually ready to die at this moment, but the only thing they are worried about is their wives and children in the city......

"Listen to the people on the city wall, this is an ultimatum, my general said, as long as Wen Ji is tied up and sent down, I will only be a retired soldier, and you Dingying County will be safe. If it's stubborn, on the day the city breaks, don't blame me for being ruthless! When the trebuchet had been set up and the engineering battalion had begun to fill the shells, one of the soldiers shouted again.

"Hmph, you and the thieves who committed the rebellion, Ding Ying is Wen Ji guarding, you don't want to get in!" Wen Ji shouted, but he still looked very confident when he heard the voice, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

Actually, self-confidence or something, does Wen Ji really have it? Of course, impossible!

But at this time, if he doesn't have self-confidence, what qualifications does he have to make other soldiers have the confidence to keep Dingying? Just like he said to Zhao Yu before, the fall of the city is death, and surrender is also death, so why not be a heroic martyr? As for what to say about joining the Yellow Turban Army or something, it is obvious that this has never been thought of in the minds of Zhao Yu or Wen Ji......

After all, from the very beginning, the Yellow Turban Army was only an army that would be corresponded to by the common people, and even the sons of good families, but those who had a bite to eat and were not driven to a dead end did not intend to take risks. Even, in their eyes, it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to successfully overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Dingying is located in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, which dynasty will concentrate its main forces in the hinterland? Generally speaking, the so-called main forces will be concentrated in the border areas, leaving a small number of defenders in the local area.

For more than 200 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the defenders of this hinterland were completely rotten, otherwise they would not have let the Yellow Turban Army fight here so easily. Wen Ji himself worked hard to reorganize the soldiers, but the shortage of manpower was a big problem, and he could not exceed this number, otherwise he would be suspected of rebellion.

Seven hundred soldiers are already a bit overnumbered, Rao is like this, in the face of the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, especially the Yellow Turban Army with siege equipment, the shortcomings of the number are completely exposed. At this moment, Wen Ji's only thought is to keep it, if he can't keep it, and act as such a martyr for the big man, at least the people of the family can benefit from it......

If you want to blame, you can only blame Dahan for so many states and counties, why did he come to Dingying County to be a county lieutenant? Besides, who let this Yellow Turban Army not fight which city, but it hit their Dingying County?!

"Launch!" Since the other party didn't know how to lift, Fang Yun naturally didn't need to be polite.

The catapult's frame was quickly released, and three trebuchets threw a large number of fist-sized stone projectiles, while the other two threw large stone projectiles of at least seventy pounds. There is only one target for all stone bullets, and that is the city gate!

This first launch was a test launch, which was mainly a test to facilitate further adjustment of the launch angle.

But if you are lucky, you can't say that you can get there in one go, for example, this time, at least three trebuchets successfully aimed at the city gate, and the stone projectiles thrown accurately hit the thick city gate wrapped in a layer of iron.

Dahan's iron-smelting technology was not developed, so it was naturally impossible to invest and waste a large number of iron ingots to build a pure iron gate. It is very rare to be able to make an iron-clad gate. You must know that in some small counties, the so-called city gate is even a pure wooden gate, and it can be smashed with a little effort.

Fifty catties of stones smashed into the wooden door under the action of gravitational acceleration, and suddenly the clad iron outside the gate quickly sank, and at the same time, the gate shook violently, and a large amount of dust slipped on the inside of the gate.

"Fill the stone bombs, three at the city gates, two at the city walls! Get ready to get ready! Seeing this, Fang Yun ordered again.

PS: The second update! Speaking of which, I heard that the ticket can be eaten as a meal for the author, and the taste is delicious, I don't know if it's true......
