The head of Shouzhou City, the trebuchets and ballistas in the city immediately began to fire at fixed points, and several Zhou army teams that were ready to come forward to meet their siege vehicles were beaten back.

In between launches, one after another oil jars were thrown out and smashed on the siege vehicles in front of the moat, and rockets were also shot out, nailed to the rough logs where the vegetable oil was splashed, igniting the fires everywhere.

The situation is pressing! If reinforcements are not sent up in time, these siege vehicle arrays, which have become "isolated islands on the battlefield", will soon be burned out!

Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing in front of the formation, ran to a pile of bags full of soil, threw the two bags on his back, roared wildly, raised his arms and shouted: "My eldest Zhou Ying'er, how can I sit back and watch my brother be trapped?!" Follow me and support the brothers! ”

After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin stood on the big shield, highlighted the battle formation, and ran in the direction of the siege vehicle with an irregular route.

Li Chongjin also went crazy, let out a long roar, grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, put on the dirt bag and the big shield, and ran out of the battle formation.

Zheng En and several elites became irritable at the same time, and then rushed out of the battle formation.

If someone takes the lead, there will naturally be followers. Immediately, many elites in the Zhou army rushed out of the array and supported them in a skirmish line. Stone bullets and crossbow arrows were immediately shot at the top of the city, but they could not hurt these agile masters, so they had to carry out a covering attack, but this situation was a bit like an anti-aircraft gun fighting mosquitoes, with little effect.

Seeing this scene, more elite soldiers poured out of the battle formation, and the girl ran forward, and the falling stone bullets, crossbow clouds, and arrow rain became a gorgeous background for their brave attack.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Guo Wei, who was sitting firmly on the high platform, touched the short beard under his chin with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.

As the nominal commander, Li Gu certainly did not sit and watch the play, and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to carry the half-finished siege vehicles to speed up the attack; At the same time, the remaining thick wood was urgently nailed into a room-shaped frame in the shape of "Jie", and efforts were made to establish a protected passage behind the siege vehicle as quickly as possible.

Zhao Kuangyin, Li Chongjin and others quickly rushed to the siege vehicle, immediately climbed up, holding a big shield in one hand, and dumping the soil in the bag on the slope of the siege vehicle with the other, and the follow-up soldiers also handed over the soil bags on their backs. Wet clods of earth tumbled down, breaking rockets and crushing fires everywhere until they were extinguished.

Lin Feng at the head of the city saw the move, and immediately ordered the special soldiers to personally operate the ballista and shoot those Zhou troops who dared to stand up to the shield. The distance between the attacking and defending sides was less than twenty meters in a straight line, and the crossbow arrows in the afterburner process were merciless, constantly bringing up the Zhou soldiers who were accidentally exposed above the siege vehicle one by one.

Zhao Kuangyin used his shield to fly two crossbow arrows one after another, lowered his head slightly, turned his head and roared: "Earth bag!" I want more dirt bags! ”

Finally, the Zhou army, who saw a glimmer of hope for the siege, all went crazy, and more soldiers ran forward with earthen bags to the siege vehicle, and some soldiers carried the house-shaped shelves that had been urgently nailed, and quickly transported them to the siege site under the rain of arrows and stone bullets.

Lin Feng on the head of the city had a frosty face, pointed to the growing wooden passage and shouted, "Concentrate your strength and blast those woods for me!" ”

The trebuchets at the head of the city and in the city immediately fired intensively according to the direction indicated by the banner at the pheasant, and a dense rain of arrows and bullets smashed through the passage line.

However, the Zhou army, which had already suffered countless small losses, was extremely cautious, and some of the soldiers who had already attacked the siege vehicle were separated, and two deep trenches were dug along the position of the two pillars of the house-shaped shelf, and the transported shelves were directly planted inside, and then the soil was quickly backfilled and tamped.

Zhou Jun, who was no longer afraid of falling rocks overhead, cheered, and did more cheerfully, and the speed of the passage was getting faster and faster. Although Lin Feng commanded the trebuchet to drop more stones along the western side of the passage, they were all quickly pried open by the Zhou army below the passage.

At noon on 26 November, the Zhou army's nearly 200-meter-long "safe passage" was finally completed, and the generals of the Zhou army were in high spirits and commanded the cheering soldiers to stand in four columns in the passage and deliver the bags of earth to the siege vehicles. The bags were then thrown out of the siege engine, and one by one they landed in the moat, splashing the water into the air.

At the same time, a thick log with a height of nearly ten meters began to be erected on the north and south sides of the siege vehicle array, and the intention of the Zhou army to set up a commanding height to suppress the attack of the city was very obvious.

The head of the city smashed several rounds of stone bullets and fired two rounds of rockets in succession, and when he found that the attack was no longer effective, he immediately stopped firing and fell into silence.

At less than three o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhou army, which had erected two siege towers, began to send archers to suppress the fire. However, due to the narrow area at the top of the siege tower, the number of archers that could accommodate it was very small, and the heavily armed Shouzhou soldiers at the head of the city did not care about their shooting, and focused their shooting on the soldiers who were throwing sandbags.

As the sandbags in front of the siege vehicle were piled up more and more, it was no longer enough to throw them with arm strength alone, but as long as they leaned out, they would almost die, and Zhou Jun had to suspend the movement of throwing dirtbags.

The battlefield was calm again.

At about mid-afternoon, the Zhou army made another move, and five small room-shaped wooden frames of different lengths rushed up from behind the siege vehicle array, and then fell heavily on the east end of the moat. This time, the bottom of the wooden frames was nailed, and before the dust stirred up by the wooden frames on the ground was gone, bags of dirt slipped from the wooden frames and slid into the ground.

After spitting out a dozen or so bags of dirt, the wooden frames would move their bodies with difficulty and "vomit" in another place.

Lin Feng held a big shield on his head, carefully observed these wooden shelves that "can spit soil", retracted and hid behind the city wall, people grinned but held back, in the case that the soldiers of the Zhou army could not show their bodies, this was also an effective way to set up a passage outside the city!

Subsequently, Lin Feng tried to attack the stone smashing and rocket attack at the head of the city, and found that the stones that ordinary people could move could not smash those wooden frames at all, and after the rocket was fired, the flames were quickly extinguished, and those woods were obviously soaked in water. Immediately after, Lin Feng tried to smash down a jar of oil again, and then launched a rocket, but found that the effect was still not obvious, so he ordered everyone to stop.

Lin Feng clearly knew that it was wishful thinking to keep the enemy troops three times his size out of the firing range, and it was the inevitable result for the two sides to fight the wall. However, instead of letting the enemy attack at the same time, it is better to let them break through from this point!

The five wooden "earth dragons" frequently spit out earth, and before the night was completely dark, a ramp about three meters wide was built between the siege vehicle array and the city wall, high in the west and low in the east. During this period, the Shouzhou defenders at the head of the city only occasionally probed out to observe the situation, and they no longer spent a single arrow and a crossbow at all.

At the same time that piles of bonfires were lit in front of the Zhou army, the offensive drums that resounded throughout the world exploded under the city, and Lin Feng, who had been leaning behind the pheasant and closed his eyes to recuperate, jumped up and blew the mournful warning whistle: The enemy has finally attacked the city wall! The battle of life and death has officially begun!
