"Oil, burn the siege engine!" Lin Feng immediately shouted.

The order was passed down, and a jar of oil was quickly carried up to the city and then to the trestle. The master behind the guard broke the jar and fell down the ladder, and a special soldier immediately lit the earth-shattering thunder and threw it in.

"Boom-"

The flames of the explosion ignited the grease, and instantly enveloped the upper part of the siege vehicle, and the oil jar was thrown into the siege vehicle one after another, and the fire became more ferocious, quickly extending to the lower part of the city.

Almost at the same time, seven siege engines were swept up in flames, and many of the hapless Zhou troops on the vehicles could not escape, and were surrounded by fire, with heart-rending roars accompanied by explosions. For a while, the screams of extreme pain enveloped the entire battlefield, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the wind that had been covered up suddenly became much louder.

In the blazing firelight, various banners and slogans that were still shaking on the city wall appeared sporadically:

"Whoever dares to hurt one of my soldiers will be repaid tenfold!"

"That's how you want to die?"

The wind continued to blow, not only blowing the fire bigger and bigger, but also sending a chill to the hearts of the Zhou army under the city. The siege vehicles that had been advancing were also getting slower and slower, and many soldiers pushing the carts turned their heads to look back at the position of the handsome banner.

The muscles on Li Gu's face, who was sitting under the Shuai flag, twitched inadvertently, and his fingernails pinched into the wood of the chair under him, and he opened his mouth and roared: "Each team takes turns to attack!" Trebuchets and ballistas don't stop! Ladders and siege vehicles attack together! ”

Because of the advantage in troops, Li Gu arranged 60,000 elites at the west gate, and the other cities were in the early 30,000s. Previously, 60,000 personnel had been arranged into six groups, ready to take turns to attack the city.

The urgent drums sounded again in the distance below the city, the trebuchets and ballistas were once again powerful, and the Zhou army of the brigade began to prepare as a whole under the command of the commander.

Lin Feng snorted coldly, turned around and ordered, "Second pull up to the city!" ”

The total number of people fighting in Shouzhou exceeded 60,000, and the number of personnel assigned to each side exceeded 15,000, Lin Feng ordered in advance that the men and horses of each city were divided into five groups with balanced strength, except for the special soldiers who should always hold the head of the city, the five groups of men and horses took turns to defend the city.

In the rain of stones and arrows in the sky, the first group of defenders at the head of the city waited for the second group of people to immediately enter the city, and then lined up to march down the city in an orderly manner.

No matter who you are, you can't abandon your shield at any time of your defense! This is also one of the rules set by Lin Feng to defend the city.

As soon as the soldiers arrived in the city, they were immediately led by the people to the open space in the rear, where they helped to unload their armor and bring hot water, and then to the resting place, while the wounded were led to the medical team on the side.

There, Yang Qianfang, a young famous doctor from the Datang Academy of Sciences, quickly observed the situation of the injured one by one, and ordered neatly: "Just clean up the wound!" "Send it to the rear to rest and prepare!" "Tie up!"

And Luo Yufeng, Zhang Hongling and other female special forces were all dressed in white, leading a group of young women to deal with them on the spot, or carry them away for resettlement.

Li Congqian, Chen Fei, Lin Hong, and a group of other children were all arranged by Lin Feng to help here.

This was also specially arranged by Lin Feng.

Previously, these children asked them to go to the city to kill the enemy, but Lin Feng sternly refused, and they had to stay in the medical team and work until they were no longer afraid.

Li Congqian looked at the bloody shoulder of a wounded soldier who was smashed by a stone, and suddenly felt a strong feeling of nausea in his heart, and quickly pretended to help others and left the wounded soldier.

After that, the Zhou army launched a crazy series of attacks, and there were continuous wounded soldiers in Shouzhou who were taken down the city, and their injuries became more and more serious, and many seriously injured soldiers just arrived here and died, screaming and struggling to die.

Chen Fei, Lin Hong and the first batch of orphans who came in didn't react much, they used to wander the world, and it was not uncommon to eat and sleep next to the dead corpses! However, the children of the junior military academy and the new cadets couldn't hold it one after another, and the youngest Fang An couldn't stand it first, and rushed to the side to vomit, and this symptom immediately had a chain reaction, resulting in only Huang Hui, Fang Ning, Kang Junjie, Shi Fei, and Moore being left in the last few children who didn't vomit as if they were fighting their heads, but their faces were getting whiter and whiter.

Ge Chang accompanied the two wounded soldiers down when the third group of soldiers changed guards, saw the faces of a group of children, squatted down, touched Fang Ning's little face, and said softly: "Fear is actually not terrible, if you defeat it, you will be adults!" ”

Fang Ning nodded in understanding, his little face still pale.

The offensive strategy of the Zhou army was a fatigue tactic to put it bluntly, and six groups of men and horses attacked the city like a horse, although they attacked the city several times, but they were all driven down, and there were countless casualties.

For a whole day on October 5th, the Zhou army once attacked the left side of the West City Gate with all its might, and once occupied a small section of the city wall, but was bombarded and killed by the combination of earth-shaking thunder + small Mo knife formation + special soldiers.

For a whole day on 6 October, Zhou's army once again made an all-out effort and attacked at multiple points, but still had little success. The entire Shouzhou City is like a piece of extremely tough kraft candy, which can't be chewed or gnawed.

As for the other three city gates, the battle continued all the time, but the intensity was much smaller than that of the western city wall. The strength of the city under the city is one to two, although the strength of Shouzhou is small, but it has the advantage of a strong city, and the Zhou army on these grounds is basically the subordinate soldiers of the Jiedu envoys in various places, so they will naturally not be stupid to make a desperate bet, and there are few opportunities to attack the city gate.

On 7 October, both sides were exhausted after three days of fighting, especially the Zhou army, more than 10,000 soldiers fell or lost their combat effectiveness in succession, and the pace of the soldiers who were ordered to attack became slower and slower, and the pace of the attack was also slowed down one by one.

At noon, just as a group of siege soldiers at the West Gate was once again defeated and retreated, Wu Shengjiedu, who presided over the attack at the South Gate, made Hou Zhang rush over and personally asked Li Gu whether he would reorganize his troops before attacking.

Everyone knew that the old man was euphemistically suggesting not to attack like this, and all the main generals looked at Li Gu on the handsome chair in unison.

Almost sleepless for three consecutive days, although Li Gu sat very upright, his overall reaction was still a little sluggish, he paused slightly, and turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin, who had been guarding beside him.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately understood Li Gu's intentions, knelt down on one knee and played: "I am willing to ask the marshal to allow the last general to personally lead the elite to attack the city once." Zhao Kuangyin had asked for this sentence several times, but Li Gu refused at an inopportune time.

"Okay, sure enough, it's worthy of my big Zhou Huben! Please General Zhao lead the old man's personal guard to go out! Come on, drum and cheer! Li Gu suddenly came to his senses, stood up, and shouted in a voice that was already hoarse.

The drums, which had been tired, suddenly came to their senses, and the four tiger guards who were still able to fight, Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng En, Xiahou Fang, and Li Cheng, who were still fully armed, each led fifty personal guards to rush out of the formation, aiming at the four adjacent passages and rushing towards the city.

Ge Chang, who led the army in the city, saw it and immediately ordered the defenders to strengthen the city head corresponding to the four passages, and prepare to wait for the rabbit.

The four teams sped past the slow-moving siege soldiers, and had just crossed the moat when the three teams on the left and right suddenly bent in the middle, quickly converged, and rushed towards a half-collapsed siege engine.

Zhao Kuangyin had one hand and one shield, protected himself strictly, walked like the wind, rushed onto the siege vehicle, took off and crossed the two-meter distance between the roof of the siege vehicle and the head of the city, and the tiger pounced on the head of the city. Zheng En and Xiahou Fang followed closely and killed the city.

The temporary change of formation arranged by Zhao Kuangyin had a miraculous effect for a while, knocking down a lot of Shouzhou defenders who were not at the head of the city, and the three of them quickly gained a firm foothold in the city, expanding the circle and allowing the follow-up people to enter the city.

Zhao Kuangyin's double shield danced, knocked several Shouzhou soldiers away, and rushed to the edge of the inner city wall in a flash.

Subconsciously looked down at Lu through the edge of the double shield, and Zhao Kuangyin was immediately stunned!
