On the temporarily built viewing platform, Yanghu stared at the Chang'an City in front of him, and could see that on the city, although the military appearance was still neat, the resistance was still resolute, and the military flag was still fluttering, but in the eyes of people of insight, it had reached the end of the road.

It can be seen that the anger and exhaustion of the people and soldiers in the city have reached a limit, that is, the external swords and guns are against them, and they can only hold on.

Yanghu knew that according to the secret siege method, generally at this time, he should rest for a day, and he could rest, but those people in Chang'an City could not, if he rested for a day, his tired spirit relaxed, and he might not be able to get up again.

At that time, you can easily rush to the top of the city, which is the only way to siege the city.

It's a pity that he can't give this kind of order, the boss is Sima Yan, the backbone of the Sima family is still there, Sima Zhao is old but not dead, and the minions of the Sima family have not faded from sharpness at this time.

Yanghu knew the ruthlessness of the Sima family, and he still wanted to smooth out the minions of the Sima family a little more, so he just fought, just to consume some more soldiers of the Sima family, so that Zhong Shiji could live one more day! He thought benevolently.

"Can you still persuade you to surrender?" Turning to a scribe beside him, he asked.

"It's difficult, Zhong Hui is afraid that even if he surrenders, he will not be spared." The scribe said casually.

"It's a pity!" Yang Hu sighed when he heard this, but he did not deny the words of the scribe, and asked, "Where is Liu Yi, the lord of Han?" ”

"Strategist, according to the news I received before, I should have arrived in front of Huaili County by now."

"Hmph, it's really a woman, although she has a little talent, but she doesn't know the speed of the soldiers, she has been grinding for three days, how many days will it take for her to break Huaili County, how many days does she think this Chang'an City can resist?

Seeing the small profit and forgetting the righteousness, the woman's insight is like this, she wants Zhong Hui to fight with us to lose both, but I don't know if we enter the city, what is the use of her 100,000 army? ”

"If my army gets this city, it will have roots, so what if you take those small counties?" Speaking of this, he did not relax, and commanded: "Order, the city is broken today, there is no need for auxiliaries today, and the elite soldiers will be transferred." ”

The herald had to order him out, but Sima Yan was silent on the side, knowing what his ability was, and he didn't interfere, and he was tired, he hadn't rested well for twenty days, and he closed his eyes at night and remembered the scene on the riverside that day.

However, no matter how tired he is, he still sits in front of the army, as the heir of the Sima family, he has this resilience and can still persevere.

At this time, dozens of miles away from Huaili County, a large army gathered, nearly 100,000 troops were all over the field, surrounding the county on three sides, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to the clouds.

In Huaili County, Wei General Tang Bin was staring down, and he was also terrified in his heart, but when he remembered the information he had just received, he was sure in his heart.

Yanghu clearly ordered him that as long as he could hold out in this city for a day and a night, it would be a victory, and he could retreat at any time.

The army of 100,000 is indeed unmatched, but in Huaili County, as the county is located, the city is thick and the wall is high, and the Weishui is drawn, and there is a ditch and river moat, although it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is ten times the enemy surrounding, as long as there are 5,000 soldiers in the city, it only needs to last for a day and a night, and it is not difficult.

After all, on the city, it only takes 3,000 people to stand full, and he originally came with 5,000 people, and these days, he has coerced the big families in the city and raised more than 2,000 strong men, which is enough!

Thinking of this, after the calculation, Tang Bin was determined.

Outside the city, Zhong Yuan was anxious, he knew what Yang Yi had done before, and he could only endure it, when he knew, Wugong County had already been occupied, and he couldn't bear it, at this time he was close to the left, bowed down and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, my uncle in Chang'an City can't last much time, and please take care of my family's allegiance." ”

Yang Yi stared at the county seat in front of him at this time, waved his hand and said: "Qingzi can rest assured, since I said that I can break the city in front of me in half a day, I will definitely be able to break the city in half a day, not to mention that I think I am afraid that it will not take half a day, and I can go to Chang'an City today." ”

After perfunctory Zhong Yuan, Yang Yi asked the master of the Ministry of Engineering beside him: "How is the situation of the boulder car?" ”

"Your Majesty, because the boulder car is huge, it can only be disassembled and run, and it is still being assembled." The master craftsman bowed his head at this time and said.

"How much more time?" Yang Yi asked.

The master showed a hesitant look, and at this moment, a flag was waved in the distance, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Your Majesty, the assembly is complete." ”

"Spread my will, push it up, and knock down the city wall!"

At this time, ten boulder carts with a height of several zhang have been assembled, and according to the order, pushed up, this boulder cart is based on cutting standard hardwood bars and iron bars as a frame, and the joints are also connected with metal parts, and there are arrays of pulleys to form a wooden frame, and place counterweights.

At the other end of the counterweight was a large spoon made of the finest cowhide, and a boulder projectile had been placed.

On the long lever, there are several long ropes made of cowhide at both ends connected by an array of pulleys at the top.

One boulder car is one tun and two teams of people, ten is a thousand people, and the arch guard has two thousand people.

At this time, Wei General Tang Bin stood on the city wall of Huaili County, and also saw this huge stone cart, and he saw hundreds of people busy working together, assembling a tall machine in front of the city.

At first, he was still watching, but as the machine took shape, Tang Bin had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Looking at this, it could be a trebuchet, but why is it so huge?" Trebuchets have been around for a long time, but such a large one, with such a strange shape, and being divided into two parts, is rare, so the person who accosted him is a little unsure.

This boulder car, has been tested, all the configurations have set standards, it can be said to be made of a mold, a thousand pounds of boulder bullets can be thrown, the range is as high as 120 zhang.

Yang Yi personally participated in tackling key problems, and according to today's materials, this is already the limit, the limit of the era of cold weapons.

When Tang Bin heard this, he felt that this was very possible, and his face was suddenly pale, and he muttered: "How can there be such a trebuchet...... No way! Impossible! ”

At this time, the ten boulder trucks were basically two teams under the Tun general, one of them measured the distance back and forth, and set the aiming point.

The commander, that is, the captain of the chariot battalion, saw that the ten boulder carts had been prepared at this time, and finally gave an order to the flag commander: "Launch!" ”

At this time, both sides in the city and under the city held their breath, looked up, and saw that the counterweight frame of each boulder cart fell suddenly, and ten huge stone bullets also flew out at this time.

On this day, the sky was beautiful, the sun was shining, and countless people were watching these stone bullets fly up.

"Boom!" Several loud bangs rang out almost at the same time, and ten boulders, about half of which crossed the city wall and fell into the city, while the rest hit the city wall directly, exploding violently and turning into countless flying stones. Wenxin School

Most of the people on the city wall felt the city wall move, and as for the soldiers near the boulder, they were dead and wounded.

However, the county seat of Huaili County is worthy of being the seat of the county government, and Tang Bin's tinkering has also achieved some results in the past few days, and it has not collapsed immediately, but there are also several gaps obviously.

Drawing out the long sword, Tang Bin's eyes quickly swept left and right, his eyes flashed sharply, and he shouted: "Even if the enemy has a siege weapon, but we will receive the grace of the country in the world, only die in battle, never surrender, whoever dares to shake will be killed first!" ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts trembled.

At this moment, the boulder machine under the city did not stop, and it was "Boom!" "Boom!" After the first shot, the boulder machine partially adjusted its aiming point, only to see a key blow under the city wall, a violent shock, and then in the dust and rubble in the sky, "boom" fell.

At this time, Tang Bin, who was shouting to boost morale, was implicated and rolled to the ground, losing his proper demeanor.

The generals on the left were all stunned and stunned for a moment, and the army outside the city cheered for a while, deafening, and rushed into the sky.

"Kill, follow me into the city." The generals who had already prepared issued orders without hesitation at this time, hoping to win the name of the first place.

At this time, the war drums of the offensive had also been beaten.

The attacking army, moving forward like a tidal wave, mostly rushed towards the gap, and at this time, the boulder cart did not rest, and the third stone bullet was taken off.

"Put!" There was another boulder flying into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was the sound of "boom".

The city wall of Huaili County was smashed open in two places, and it can be seen that the two Luozi flags have been around the city respectively at this time, which is to encircle and intercept the enemy troops who may escape.

Flags flew, and the rest of the army rushed in along the gap.

Suddenly, the city was full of murderous sounds.

There are gaps everywhere in the city wall, and the defenders standing on the city wall, some are buried with the city wall, some are prostrate on the ground, there are not a few bows and arrows that are useful, and there are 30,000 people who rush into the city, and there is naturally no problem at this time to deal with the remnants of the army in the city.

Even if the defenders in the city are the top generals and lead the most elite soldiers, in the face of this situation, his only choice, as long as he doesn't want to die, is to surrender or flee.

The sound of killing in the city is everywhere, and there are some fireworks rolling up, this is not the Han army arson, it is the enemy's own fire, but at this time it is useless to set fire, the people and horses of the brigade outside the city have begun to march around the city and march towards Chang'an City.

Yang Yi's car also began to turn to the march, and as he passed by the edge of the city, he could still hear the shouts of killing and screams in the city from time to time.

As the car drove forward, Yang Yi looked at Zhong Yuan not far away and asked, "What does Zhong Qing think of my soldiers and horses?" ”

Zhong Yuan was already stunned at this time, although he had an unusual background, and of course he had seen all kinds of majestic and powerful soldiers.

However, this is the era of cold weapons, and he never thought that a city like Huaili County would be breached in less than a moment, and he came to his senses after listening to Yang Yi's question.

He bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, you are a heavenly soldier, and the current situation in this city is just some dying thieves. ”

Yang Yi pointed casually and said, "Captain Ning, the army can't be delayed, you stay here with a fleet of soldiers and horses." ”

This was said to Ning Yi, and then said to Yan Yu: "Yan Dudu sorted out the rear team in the east of the city, and then followed. ”

Thirty thousand men rushed into the city, and some of them rushed out, and some of them killed the city.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, in an hour, the army in the city will be washed and killed, even if there are scattered enemies, that is, a few outlaws."

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, after the army is washed and killed, it is nothing more than a sporadic enemy resistance based on a little fortification, and when the time comes, as long as the people in the city are appeased, the various districts are divided, and the people are allowed to save themselves and extinguish the fire, there will be no mistakes, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yi said "um" again, although this method is simple, it is very effective, this will be regarded as experience, but Ning Yi is not young, and his combat power is limited, at most, he will be promoted to a partial general.

The army slowly advanced to the east, and the coordinated naval army had already set off in advance, and the cavalry was escorted on both wings, and a group of soldiers and horses pressed towards Chang'an City like a mountain.

Waiting for Yan Yu to sort out the 30,000 rear army and order them to advance in turn, he chased to Yang Yi's side with a light car and reported the situation.

At this time, the army has marched for twenty miles, Yang Yi looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Our army has a lot of recruits, although they have been trained, but they have not experienced hard battles, and now this big march is a big training, and they can't be too tired, so I ordered the Huotou army to provide food and drink immediately, and after the whole army has a full stomach, then march to Chang'an City." ”

Although Zhong Yuan, who was not far away, was anxious, he didn't dare to stop him at this time, so he could only walk around, but he couldn't solve anything.

In this battle, Yang Yi already has at least a seventy percent chance of winning, and it has been dragging on, one is to hone the will of the recruits, so that they can gradually accept the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The second is that in order to be able to eat the 200,000 Wei troops in one fell swoop, what she wants to fight is a war of annihilation and swallow the 200,000 Wei troops, so that after this battle, she can enter Hongnong, Hedong, and Nanyang.

For this reason, an overall mobilization war has been carried out, and the follow-up soldiers and horses in the country are also advancing northward, and Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses to attack Xiliang have also been transferred to the limit, and 20,000 cavalry have been reluctantly divided.

There are also some soldiers and horses, seizing Wuguan, occupying Lantian, and a soldier who directly went to capture Tongguan, if it weren't for this division of troops and such a big appetite, Yang Yi would not have been so delayed, he had to force Zhong Hui to the extreme, and also collect the 10,000 soldiers and horses outside Zhong Hui.

"What do you think of Chang'an City's reaction?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhong Shiji is at most nothing more than watching the decisive battle between our army and the Wei thieves in the city, our army is like a rainbow, just a decisive battle with the Wei thieves, as long as he crosses it, Zhong will naturally fall, but even if he does not surrender, our army has this siege weapon, tomorrow's Chang'an City, is today's Huaili County!"

Zhang Yi said this at this time.

At this time, no one cared about Zhonghui, that is, the generals who nominally belonged to Zhonghui, and at this time they also bowed their heads and accepted their fate, such as Tian Xu, listening to these, when he didn't hear it, he was not as anxious as Zhong Yuan, but he was not surnamed Zhong.

Yang Yi nodded in agreement with Zhang Yi's point of view at this time, and then gave an order: "Listen to my order, the cavalry will eat first, and then immediately go to spy on the situation!" ”

"No!" The barracks suddenly became busy.
