More than 200 cowhide drums sounded rhythmically and neatly, deafening! In the sound of drums, more than 300 shrimp and toad carts full of earth and stones were pushed hard by the soldiers of the Dou army, slowly approaching the moat of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the arrows rained down, jingling and nailing on the shrimp and toad carts, nailing the shrimp and toad cars into huge hedgehogs, even if there was a shield cover, there were still Dou soldiers who were shot and fell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the edge of the moat, the Dou army archers after the temporary fortifications built by hundreds of long shields were not to be outdone, and they were also desperately pulling their bows and arrows, desperately throwing feather arrows on the city, the feather arrows in the sky were like locusts, the dense feather arrows almost blocked the sunlight, and the arrow feathers on the city were as dense as the reeds on the riverbank, and the Sui soldiers in the city were also constantly killed and wounded by arrows.

When the Dou army's shrimp and toad convoy approached within eighty steps of the city wall, the city drums sounded, and the city gate was opened, and the two teams of Sui army crossbowmen rushed out, and their short bodies quickly unfolded behind the sheep and horse walls, and then shot arrows in a straight line, and the Dou soldiers behind the long shield and the shrimp and toad cart dodged and were immediately shot down, and the cart soldiers hurriedly used shields to protect the two wings, and the Dou army's long shield hands also hurriedly protected the two wings of the archers, and at the same time, the Dou army archers were also more crazy to shoot the Sui soldiers who emerged from behind the sheep and horse walls, and the bow and crossbow battle entered the most intense white-hot stage in an instant.

Dou Jiande's determination to attack the city was extremely resolute, after paying more than 300 soldiers' casualties, the Dou army's shrimp and toad cart still poured the soil into the moat one after another, and more than 200 carts of soil also filled in several sections of the moat in a moment, and the shrimp and toad cart that dumped the soil quickly retreated, and immediately a team of Dou soldiers with axes, hammers and shields rushed towards the moat quickly. Seeing this scene, Yin Kaishan, a veteran of Taiyuan at the head of the city, was not surprised and rejoiced, and hurriedly said to Li Keshi: "Wang Fubao is not wrong, Dou Jiande is indeed not good at attacking fortifications, he is too anxious, the number of shrimp and toad cars is so sufficient, he has no patience to wait until the moat is completely filled, and directly invests troops to attack our antler and horse fortifications, and wants to speed up the siege as much as possible, we have to fight this battle!" ”

Li Keshi nodded, agreed with Yin Kaishan's judgment, and ordered the pine cannons in the city to adjust their positions and prepare, and when the Dou army infantry rushed to within eighty steps, Li Keshi waved the flag, and captured eight pine cannons from the Zheng army at the same time. The Sui crossbowmen behind the sheep and horse wall also seized the opportunity and shot down more Dou infantry with accurate shots.

As Yin Kaishan expected, although the power of the pine cannon was far less huge than that of the bronze artillery, after it was suddenly used, the soldiers of the Dou Army, who had never seen this kind of weapon, were still greatly affected, and the generals and soldiers fled in shock, and Dou Jiande, who was more than a mile away, was also so shocked that he stood up from the imperial chariot and blurted out: "What is that?" Could it be the legendary Chen thief cannon? ”

Yang Gongqing and Wang Xingben, the generals of the Zheng Army, who knew the details of the pine cannon, hurriedly stepped forward and told Dou Jiande about the various situations of the pine cannon, especially the lethality of the shotgun effect of the pine cannon on the dense formation, Dou Jiande was furious when he heard it, and roared: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" I had known that the Chen thief army had some weapons, and I would have thrown in the infantry to attack the antler fortifications so quickly? ”

Yang Gongqing and Wang Xingben complained bitterly when they heard this, and said that it is difficult for us to even see you, so have the opportunity to introduce these details? But under the eaves, Yang Wang and the others didn't dare to say anything, so they could only obediently bow their heads and admit their guilt and carry the black cauldron, but Dou Jiande yelled and shouted again, ordering to withdraw the previous self-army infantry who went to attack the antlers and horse fortifications, and put on the shrimp and toad cart with strong defense against long-range weapons and stepped forward to fill the river, and many soldiers died in vain.

The siege weapon of the shrimp toad car is slow, but the defense and the effect of river filling are indeed quite good, and after tossing back and forth three times at noon, the moat outside the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass has been filled in fifty or sixty zhang, and the road to the bottom of the Tiger Prison Pass has been basically opened. Dou Jiande also ordered the infantry to step forward to attack the horse and deer antlers on the other side of the moat, Li Keshi did not want to lose too much strength in the peripheral fortifications, and immediately ordered to withdraw the Sui crossbowmen behind the sheep and horse wall, and let the Dou army infantry rush to the antlers to destroy the fortifications, and only attack the enemy under the city with bows and crossbows and pine cannons, and cause casualties to the enemy as much as possible.

He also sacrificed a lot of soldiers to destroy some of the antlers that were actually built by Zheng Jun's soldiers, forcing the Sui soldiers to no longer be able to shoot the frontal enemy by relying on the sheep and horse wall, Dou Jiande couldn't wait to order the trebuchet to come forward, and the three hundred trebuchets kept pouring stone bullets on the Tiger Prison Pass, and soon put it
