Dingzhou Mansion, the first pass in Tiannan.

Its city walls are high and thick, and it has always had the reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one person should be closed!

At the same time, Dingzhou Mansion is the first barrier of Nanchang City, as long as Dingzhou Mansion is not broken, Shangfu can sit back and relax!

At this time, the Dingzhou Mansion was also tens of thousands of Chen soldiers, which were used to resist the advance of Schrödinger's army!

In the blink of an eye, it was three days, and it was already time for the army to besiege Dingzhou Mansion!

If it is the rest of the levels, if it is a city with high walls and thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Schrödinger will most likely choose to besiege but not attack, as long as there is a shortage of water and food in the city, it is easy to break through the city!

But since this Dingzhou Mansion is named after the government, there is naturally a reason, although it is a checkpoint, but it is also the state capital, and it is the granary of this radius of several counties!

Therefore, it is not possible to say that the war of attrition that besieges but does not attack, but when the time comes, most of the armies outside the city will be consumed because the logistics cannot keep up!

The only way to face this city is to attack, but it is also difficult to attack!

The tens of thousands of troops in the city, countless city defense equipment, and tall and heavy city walls are all difficult!

At this time, under the city, 100,000 troops stayed tightly outside the city walls.

A few days ago, they arrived outside the Dingzhou Mansion, set up camp, built fortifications, and recuperated their strength, and then began to attack on a large scale!

Of course, since it is not intended to besiege and not attack, that is, there is no need to besiege the city.

On the contrary, once the troops were divided to besiege the remaining city gates, they had to worry about being broken by the soldiers and horses in the city.

Therefore, these 100,000 troops are currently all concentrated outside the east gate, staring at the tall city wall in the distance!

The soldiers guarding the city on the city wall could only look at the dense black shadows in the distance under the city, and felt the strong momentum, although they were a little frightened, but they thought that they and others were on the city wall, so they forcibly settled their hearts!

No wonder they were frightened, this 100,000 army said it was 100,000, but in fact it was far more than 100,000!

According to common sense, in the previous months of fighting, the siege of the city and the plunder of the land will definitely consume a large number of soldiers, even if there is a supplement of soldiers, it is far from enough, so the current number of troops should be less than 100,000!

But don't forget that this is the South, a chaotic South full of thieves!

The previous all the way, although it was a siege of the city, but in addition to the city, Schrödinger did not let go of the surrounding grass thieves, after all, if these people did not solve it, even if they captured the city, after the main force of the army retreated, it was easy to make a comeback and let Schrödinger's backyard catch fire!

For these people, of course, not all of them are killed!

If they are all killed, it will arouse the rebellious heart of the thief!

If they have no way out, they will resist to the end!

When the time comes, don't say that it is a hundred thousand army, even if there is a million army, Schrödinger does not dare to say that he can completely clean up the rebellion in the entire south!

Therefore, Schrödinger mainly uses Huairou means, and mostly chooses to win over and absorb the surrounding anti-thieves!

For those who are hard-headed, Schrödinger chose to kill one to make an example, the rest are just punished for the worst, and the rest are all dispersed and assigned to various military camps!

Therefore, although the military system remains unchanged, there are still 36 military camps, but the number of people in each military camp has increased greatly!

Now Schrödinger's troops have almost reached 200,000, which is several times the number of troops in the Dingzhou Mansion, no wonder the soldiers on the city wall will feel a little panicked when they see the enemy troops under the city!

The difference in numbers between the two sides is too great!

If it weren't for the high walls and thick cities, most of the defenders on the walls would have collapsed!

At this time, Schrödinger was dressed in ink-colored armor, standing under the banner of the Chinese army, and with one of his gestures, the surrounding herald flag-bearers suddenly danced the order flag in their hands, passing the military order!

Immediately after, the horn of the rear battalion began to sound, and the war drums also sounded!

The sound was vast, and it was already echoing beyond the city walls!

It's even more morale-boosting!

At this moment, at the front of the barracks of the great army,

Rows of neatly arranged black-armored soldiers walked out of the barracks, holding tall shields, and approached the city wall step by step!

Also at this time!

"Shoot the arrows!"

There was also a call on the city walls!

The sound of breaking the sky came out one after another, and the defenders on the city wall all released their feather arrows at the enemy troops outside the city!

In an instant, the entire sky dome also became black, and the feathered arrows were fine, like a dark cloud, directly blocking the sun!

This failed to have the slightest impact on the black-armored soldiers under the city!

Their steps are still so strong and firm!

The expression on his face was serious, and under the black armor, he couldn't see the slightest panic!

"Royal!"

"Royal!"

"Royal!"

A trumpet sounded from their mouths, and the voice was so decisive!

As he spoke, the shields in their hands suddenly held up slightly diagonally, facing the feather arrows in the sky, leaning on their heads, and holding the shield tightly with both arms.

Their shields form horns with each other, forming a whole system of defense!

Although the feathered arrows in the sky were dense, they failed to break through their defense system!

The soldiers holding the shield were not comfortable, first of all, the shield was very heavy, and secondly, each feathered arrow fell from the high sky, and the attached force on it was very large, and the impact on the shield made them almost unable to hold the shield!

Occasionally, the shield is slightly offset by the influence of the feather arrows, and there are some gaps between the shields, which undoubtedly makes this complete defense system a loophole!

Although the loophole is small, it can't withstand the fineness and density of feather arrows, and several feather arrows are stunned and shoot into this gap!

When the guards in the city saw this scene, they were suddenly a little surprised, there was a loophole in this shield array, and then there was a possibility of being broken!

He stood on the city wall and saw clearly, the feather arrows that shot into it pierced deep through the bodies of several shield-wielding black-armored enemy soldiers, and they had completely fallen!

This is to break the face with points!

This defender can imagine that if these enemy troops fall, this hole will be even bigger, and more feathered arrows will be shot in, and suddenly there will be a domino-like situation!

But the next scene surprised the guard, he clearly saw that the soldiers who were pierced through the body by feather arrows supported the last moment.

The surrounding black-armored soldiers also reacted quickly, but in an instant, several black-armored soldiers stood up, took on the shield, and replaced the previous fallen soldiers!

The guards in the city had a little surprise in their eyes, and said in admiration: "Sure enough, it is the elite of Xiliang, and the Xiliang Trapped Beast Shield Array is indeed worthy of its reputation!" ”

This guard's name is Wang Dingxu, but he was born in the Xingnan Wang clan of the Kwantung clan, and he was a henchman who followed Shang Fu at the beginning of the Shang Fu Uprising!

His people have always been known for their calmness and decisiveness under Shang Fu, and at the same time, they are good at defending the city.

It is because of this that Shang Fu is relieved to hand over the first pass and the first line of defense in the south of the day to him with peace of mind!

Seeing that the black-armored soldiers under the city were resisting feather arrows and approaching the city wall step by step, Wang Dingxu suddenly said decisively to his lieutenant: "Prepare gold juice, rolling stones, rolling wood, and at the same time let people prepare eight-ox crossbows!" ”

"Always frustrate the enemy's momentum first!"

In the previous dynasties, the ballista was commonly called "bed crossbow" or "bed crossbow", when a ballista was often combined with two bows or three bows, using the combined force of multiple bows to fire arrows, and the strength was better than that of the previous generation.

The "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" of the previous dynasty contains a variety of multi-bow bed crossbows, among which the most powerful three-bow bed crossbow is also called "eight bull crossbows", which requires more than 100 people to twist the shaft and stretch the strings, and the arrows "Mugan Tieling" are known as "one gun and three swords and arrows", which are roughly like javelins, and the three pieces of iron feathers are like three swords. Bed crossbows can also fire "treadmill arrows", which are nailed to the city walls in rows.

This "Wujing General Essentials" has always been collected in the palace of the Great Zhou, with the fall of the previous dynasty, it was already lost, but with the rebellion of Shang Fu, this eight-bull crossbow is to reappear in the world!

Of course, Wang Dingxu understood that although this eight-bull crossbow was powerful, it would only frustrate the enemy's morale at most.

Not only because of the difficulty in making these eight-ox crossbows, the current number in the city is only dozens, but also because the eight-ox crossbows are difficult to operate, aiming and firing are responsible for special personnel, and the soldiers who need to use a strong man to pull the trigger with a giant axe and use the bed crossbow are a special category in the Zhou army, called "bed crossbowmen", and more than 100 people are needed.

It is definitely unrealistic to rely on this eight-bull crossbow to resist the enemy army!

The number is really insufficient!

As he spoke, more than a dozen huge crossbow carriages were mounted on the city wall, and more than 1,000 crossbowmen controlled the crossbow machines, loaded arrows, and set up bows and strings......

With dozens of sounds, the sound of cowhide shaking sounded!

This is the sound of Zhang Xian!

More than 100 huge "arrows" went straight to the shield array in a daze!

It is said to be an "arrow", but each arrow has an adult's arm, more like a pillar!

This "arrow" hit the shield, the heavy shield broke directly, and the arrow directly penetrated the body of the shield bearer!

However, with the previous response, they have long been warned.

At this time, the response was also timely, the response was sufficient, and the surrounding soldiers were directly put together, and the integrity of the shield array was restored in an instant!

Although the Eight Ox Crossbow posed a threat to the shield array, it failed to pose a mortal threat!

Wang Dingxu on the city wall snorted coldly, Xiliang's shield array is famous all over the world, and it is sure that it is difficult to break!

But a demoralization is enough!

The next golden juice, rolling stones, and logs are the real weapons to defend the city!

Close, close.

The black-armored soldiers under the black-armored shield array under the city are getting closer and closer to the city wall!

"Scatter!"

The shield array spread out in an instant, and rows of wrestlers in soft armor carried the ladder and set it up on the city wall!

With both hands and feet, they quickly walked towards the city wall!

At this time, there were constantly feathered arrows shooting towards them, but with the soft armor to protect the vital points around them, they failed to cause too many casualties!

Wang Dingxu let out a long roar!

"Rolling stones, logs, gold juice falling!"

Saying that, Wang Dingxu is walking and directing on the city wall, dealing a blow to the enemy who climbs the city wall!

With heavy logs. The rolling stones fell, and there were screams one after another.

The gold juice is even more disgusting, drenched on the body, very cruel!

One by one, the "hedgehogs" fell down the ladder and into the moat, splashing a lot of waves!

There were many steel thorns in the moat, and suddenly the blood stained the moat red!

……

In the city of Bianliang.

Hundreds of black figures rushed into the mansion of the Qin State, killing people when they saw them!

At this time, the inner secret guard who was monitoring the mansion of the Duke of Qin was also revealed, and he fought with these black-clothed people, but it was a pity that he was outnumbered!

The blood is pale, and the corpses are everywhere!

The Qin State Mansion has several lineages and descendants, and hundreds of clansmen, all of whom died under the butcher's knife!

A raging fire swept through the entire Qin State Mansion, turning it into ruins!

……

"Rubbish! Licentious! ”

"Since the dignified and first-class national mansion has been slaughtered! What a presumptuousness! ”

"Check! Thorough investigation! Who the hell is it! ”

In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi at this time had no indifference in the past, and he looked extremely violent!

Emperor Hongzhi is no longer accustomed to Schrödinger, but Schrödinger is also the Duke of Qin of the Great Liang, and the nobles of the same cultivators of the country!

But now the mansion of the Duke of Qin, hundreds of sidelines, descendants, and clansmen, all died in the mansion, and the entire mansion of the Duke of Qin was turned into ashes!

This is not only a slap in the face of Emperor Hongzhi, but also makes Emperor Hongzhi feel that there is a power in this Bianliang City that he cannot control!

Since this force can slaughter the entire Qin State Mansion, is it possible to assassinate the king?

Emperor Hongzhi felt a great threat!

At the same time, at this time, Schrödinger, the Duke of Qin, was still fighting on the front line, and all his relatives were slaughtered at this time, which couldn't help but make Emperor Hongzhi feel that there was a huge conspiracy contained in it!

"Who the hell is it?"

"Family? Or is it a rebel in the South? Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes tightly, and secretly thought in his heart!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated, but Emperor Hongzhi at this time was even more hesitant.

He didn't know how to deal with the current situation, the entire Qin Guogong Mansion was destroyed, paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and the news would spread sooner or later!

How should he reassure Schrödinger?

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had to worry, what would Schrödinger on the front line do after he knew?

There are no relatives at all, Schrödinger at this time is already in the world without concern, and Emperor Hongzhi no longer has the means to control Schrödinger!

Although it was not Emperor Hongzhi who slaughtered Schrödinger's entire clan, he was still worried that Schrödinger would be angry, not to mention that he and Schrödinger had a holiday!

If Schrödinger relied on military power to make trouble, what would it be?

Just when Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, not long after, a rumor spread in Bianliang City!

The approximate content of the rumor is that Emperor Hongzhi fell in love with Schrödinger's eldest granddaughter, and he did not obey, Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and then sent someone to forcibly rob him, but Xue Fu did not obey, so he slaughtered the whole clan!

Although this is a rumor, it does have a nose and an eye, and there are rumors that someone saw the Ouchi guards haunt the Xue Mansion with their own eyes that day!

And in this Bianliang City, apart from the emperor, who else can slaughter Xue Mansion?

You must know that the Xue Mansion has been inherited for several generations, and there is a huge power in the army, and there are many generals and soldiers in the mansion, and there are no hundreds of elite soldiers, how can you slaughter the Xue Mansion?
