Tuoba Shiyigan looked at the neatly arranged Jin army siege team outside the city, and couldn't help but gasp, at this moment, in a large open area under the city, the Jin army team lined up in a strict offensive formation, among them, there were thousands of thunderbolt cars alone, and lined up in several rows along the city wall, which had the momentum of smashing Shengle City into powder.

A large number of siege equipment such as various ladders, shields, siege vehicles, and rushing vehicles have also arrived not far from the outside of the city, and they can launch a fierce attack on Shengle City at any time.

Although the walls of Shengle City were very tall and thick, and there were moats and two urn cities inside and outside, Tuoba Shi Yijian still felt great pressure in the face of so many siege weapons and soldiers and horses of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has used the efforts of the peace talks in the past few days to prepare so many siege weapons, it seems that the Jin army has no intention of surrendering at all, and the peace talks are just a delaying tactic." A general said angrily.

Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, and said with a straight face: "It's all the king's negligence for a while, and he fell for Xie Ai's tricks, but these days, our army's preparations have not stopped, and it is not a loss." ”

Obviously, in the past few days of peace talks, the soldiers and horses under the command of Tuoba Shiyi Jian were also preparing for war with all their might, and there was no rest for a moment.

"That's not right! Your Majesty, the Jin army has sent envoys into the city many times, and they must have some understanding of the defense of our army near the south gate, which is of great help to the main force of the Jin army to attack the city! A representative general suddenly said in surprise.

When Tuoba Shiyiqian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Xie Ai is really cunning, and he actually uses peace talks as a name. The fact that they spy on military intelligence is very hateful. ”

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Jin army is coming prepared, and our army is under a lot of pressure, do you want to consider ......" A general closed his mouth halfway through speaking.

Tuoba Shi Yiqian naturally understood what this subordinate general was trying to express, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, this subordinate general was obviously scared, and planned to let Tuoba Shi Yiqian accept Xie Ai's proposal, so as to avoid a big battle.

Xie Ai had no one in his eyes. intends to make this king his pawn. How could this king agree to such conditions? Tuoba Shiyiqian spoke loudly and dismissed the general's construction.

At this moment, Tuoba Shiyigan had already made up his mind. We must defend Shengle City to the death. And with strong defensive strength. Let Shay revoke such harsh conditions of surrender.

Outside the south gate of Shengle City, the main force of the Jin army was fully prepared to attack the city. As long as Xie Ai and Wang Meng gave an order, they could immediately launch an attack on Shengle City.

"General, the hour is almost up, the army of Daiguo still hasn't opened the city and surrendered, our army can attack immediately." Xie Ai's subordinate general said loudly.

Hearing this, Xie Ai looked at Wang Meng and said softly: "General Wang thinks that our army should give Tuoba Shiyiqian a little more time to think about it. ”

Wang Meng shook his head and said, "Tuoba Shiyigan will not agree, and our army can attack immediately." ”

Xie Ai nodded and ordered softly, "The whole army will attack immediately." ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and then, in the military formation of the Jin army, the war drums of the attack sounded, and more than 100,000 troops were ready to attack the city.

Seeing that the Jin army had already marched with drums, Tuoba Shiyiqian hurriedly led his henchmen and generals to leave the city gate tower of the urn city and return to the city gate tower of the main city to avoid the projectile attack of the Jin army's thunderbolts.

As soon as the order to attack the "Huhuhu......" attack was issued, more than 1,000 Thunderbolt City of the Jin army immediately launched a fierce attack.

A large number of stones, incendiary materials, and gunpowder blocks were thrown at the walls of Shengle City at the same time, and the sound of impact, explosion, and burning was intertwined, forming a tragic picture.

Under the continuous blows of the Jin army's thunderbolts, the soldiers on the city wall continued to suffer casualties, and soon fell into a panic, but with the five-foot-thick female wall, they could still continue to hold on.

In order to greatly deter the defenders of the Dai Kingdom, the thunderbolt of the Jin army continued to shoot for a whole hour, and when they saw that the soldiers of the Dai Army defending on the city wall had all dodged, they gave the order for the infantry to charge.

Soon, the Jin infantry held shields and pushed various siege equipment to kill the walls of Shengle City.

A large number of ladders and wooden planks soon laid several wide wooden bridges on the moat of Shengle City, and a large number of Jin soldiers passed through the temporary pontoon bridges built by guò, quickly rushed under the walls of Shengle City, and set up ladders and siege vehicles, and began to attack the city walls.

Seeing the Jin soldiers surging to the bottom of the city wall, the defending soldiers immediately stood up from under the female wall where they were evading, and threw them under the city wall with the rolling wood and gravel prepared in advance, some stones smashed on the bodies of the Jin soldiers, causing great casualties to the Jin soldiers, and some stones were thrown into the pontoon bridge on the moat, smashing the pontoon bridges temporarily built by the Jin army out of big holes, thus hindering the Jin army soldiers from passing the guò pontoon bridge.

Of course, the most terrible thing is that a large amount of fire oil and hay were prepared above the city wall, and some soldiers of the army threw the hay stained with fire oil from the city wall, so that the city wall was completely plunged into a sea of fire, and the Jin soldiers who besieged the city suffered great casualties, so they had to retreat backwards, and those siege equipment such as ladders were all burned to ashes.

Tuoba Shiyigan, who had been watching the battle from the gate tower of the main city, saw that the army under his command finally thwarted the attack of the Jin army, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and believed even more that with the solid defense of Shengle City, it would definitely be able to block the attack of the Jin army.

Similarly, in the direction of the West Gate, a partial division of the Jin army suffered a great defeat and retreated back.

The terrain of Shengle City is extremely treacherous, in addition to the direction of the south gate, which is suitable for the large-scale deployment of the army, the rest of the city gates are extremely unfavorable for attack, among them, outside the east gate is a large swamp, the army can not attack at all, outside the north gate is a river twenty zhang wide, the two ends of the moat are connected with this river, so as to have a large amount of water sources, the west gate direction can be attacked, but there are a large number of trees, the terrain is also uneven, a large number of heavy siege equipment, can not be deployed at all, therefore, Wang Meng and Xie Ai studied and made a strategy of concentrating the main army, attacking from the south gate, and sending a partial division to attack the west gate.

The attack on the first day can be regarded as having the effect of deterring the army of Daiguo, but the army under his command lost more than 1,000 and evacuated from Shengle City, which somewhat damaged the image of the Jin army and made many Jin army soldiers feel ashamed.

In the evening, Wang Meng, Xie Ai and other generals carefully analyzed and discussed the various situations encountered in the attack on Shengle City during the day, and adjusted the attack plan for the second day.

Early in the morning of the second day, the main force of the Jin army also launched a fierce attack on Shengle City, this attack, the Jin army learned from the experience and lessons of the previous time, carried out more adequate firepower preparations, and prepared more offensive and defensive weapons, in order to reduce casualties at the same time, increase the blow to the enemy.

However, the defense of Shengle City is really tight, the second day of the attack, was also repulsed, the Jin army paid hundreds of casualties, the only thing worth affirming is that the second day of the attack, the Jin army soldiers carried a large amount of black powder, the south gate of the urn city outside the south gate to blow up, thus breaking through the first line of defense of the Dai Guo army.

After a night of preparation, early on the morning of the third day, the main force of the Jin army once again launched an attack on Shengle City, and a large number of Jin army soldiers poured into the urn city outside Shengle City from the bombed urn city gate, preparing to directly attack the main gate of Shengle City.

However, the city wall of the urn city and the main city wall of Shengle City are connected together, at night, the army of the country of Dai destroyed the stone ladder leading to the city wall of the city of the urn, and deployed a large number of soldiers on the wall of the city of the city, so that the soldiers of the Jin army who rushed into the city of Shengle were surrounded by the defenders of the country on all sides, and soon suffered a large number of kills, fortunately, the soldiers of the Jin army who rushed into the city of the urn were only a few hundred, so the losses suffered were not very large.

The continuous strong attack for three consecutive days, despite paying a lot of casualties, still did not break through Shengle City, which made the hearts of the generals of the Jin Army very uncomfortable, however, this situation can be regarded as expected by Wang Meng and Xie Ai, after all, Shengle City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it can be easily taken, it is not Shengle City.

However, at this time, there was unfavorable news that around Shengle City, the main soldiers and horses of the Dai Guo who had been scattered had fled back one after another, and under the leadership of several Dai army generals, they were stationed around Shengle City to contain the main force of the Jin army.

In order to deal with the threat behind them, Wang Meng and Xie Ai had to dispatch some men and horses to deal with the gradually gathering army of Daiguo outside the city, and let these people and horses wait for the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

Unlike the disappointment of the Jin generals, after three consecutive days of victory, the acting king Tuoba Shiyigan and his generals gradually gained confidence and became more determined to defend the city.

Seeing that the main force under his command was scattered and gradually approached Shengle City, Tuoba Shiyiqian had even begun to consider how to counterattack the main force of the Jin army, and made a preliminary action for this purpose, using the way of sending a small force to attack at night, destroying some of the siege equipment of the Jin army, so that the Jin army suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, the Dai army became extremely arrogant, while the Jin army had a decline in morale, which attracted the attention of Wang Meng and Xie Ai, and if this situation continued, the consequences would be extremely severe.

Of course, the reason why the Dai Guo army became arrogant was because the Jin army's siege operations for three consecutive days were successfully thwarted by them, and because the main force of the Dai army's rout had gradually moved closer and formed a counter-encirclement posture against the main force of the Jin army.
