The drums rumbled, like a storm crashing on the shore, and the clouds in the sky changed, piling up thousands of piles of snow. The weapons and equipment that have been accumulated after many days of feints are pouring out today.

The long-lost trebuchet bombardment reappeared, but after a few rounds, Liang Jun's hundred trebuchets were instantly reduced to powder. Yelemeng was indifferent to this loss, but calmly raised his hand, and another batch of hundreds of trebuchets were carried to another position and smashed towards the location where the boulder had been sent before. The Jin army obviously did not react to the stone-throwing from the other direction, and when they rushed to the battle, the stone pill had already thinned out a lot, and after the second position was destroyed, the fatal round stone did not pop out of the city.

There are no stones left in the city.

Without the cover of trebuchets, the ladder and wooden curtain were able to lean against the city wall with impunity, and the soldiers with knives were able to climb the city wall to vent their anger.

The battle entered a white-hot battle at the very beginning, the soldiers of the two armies armed with swords and guns met each other with short blades, and in the rear not far from the battle line, the crossbowmen of the Jin army were still calmly winding, shooting back, winding, and shooting back, even if from time to time there were people who broke through the defense line and jumped into the crossbows to kill, and the other soldiers were unmoved. Occasionally, when the bowstring broke, he straightened his leather armor without changing his color, drew his knife and stepped forward.

The battle continued until the torches were raised in the night, and neither army had any idea of going down to the city. The Liang army had already achieved a huge advantage, and the elite soldiers of the Liang people formed a battle formation in nearly ten places on the city wall, and they could no longer be driven down. The Jin people were losing and retreating, although Chen Lihua held the red tassel and swept through several Qiren war groups, but it was also a drop in the bucket for the erosion of the whole situation.

I don't remember the first batch of people who went up to the wall, and there were soldiers who were lucky enough not to die to be carried down, and now this simple approach has become a luxury. The three city walls are no longer divided into feints and main attacks, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the last sound of every Jin person who fell to the ground was:

"Reinforcements are coming!"

At night, the city wall seems to merge with the boundless darkness, one by one the people Mouke went up, and then did not come down, Chongming City is obviously like a candle in the dark night, bright and extinguished in the dark, and it may be completely dim at any time. But it has been standing firm and tenacious. Originally, it was planned to take it in five days, but then it became seven days, and then it was ten days. Jelle looked at the still strong open fire on the wall, and his heart became more and more anxious, and his body, which had never slowed down after three days and three nights, was a little powerless.

"Uncle Meng, Mingjin should withdraw his troops, we won't fight." The sound of the boulder came from Jelle, and Jelle was taken aback. He turned around and saw the expressionless figure of Yele Dashi, as if he had seen the old Yelef again, and subconsciously explained: "Our army has already won, and Chongming City will definitely be able to take it within three days!" ”

"So most of the time you still can't take it today, can you?" Yale Dashi seemed to have thought through this question and asked.

Yelemeng could only nod in acknowledgement. Don't look at the city that has already occupied a foothold, it seems that the victory is in hand. However, the city was united and there were many people, and it was still impossible to defeat it in a short time. You can only rely on bloody exchanges on the city, use killing to consume the morale of the defenders, and wait until the sharp energy in the city is exhausted, before it is possible to break the city.

"If you can't take it today, don't take it." Yele Dashi seemed to have matured a lot in one night, and smiled indifferently: "Even if we take it in three days, how many more soldiers will we have to die?" If there is a street fight, and everyone is the enemy, how long will we sweep away? When the time comes to fight with the emperor's old dog, how sure can we be? Without enough fighters to back us up, how much voice do we have in the coalition? ”

Yale Dashi said it like a bead, and pointed to the soldiers beside him, reminding: "What's more, it won't have much effect if you continue to fight now. ”

Jeelle looked at it, and found that some of the next group of people who had come to the city were trembling and praying to the heavens, and they could not help but be furious and whip them.

"During the founding battle, our soldiers were all happy when they heard the battle, and even if there was a dead end ahead, they would shout all the way to the battle. The old man has been riding horses all his life, and he has braved arrows to go to the city seven times, and once he frowned a little, and I am ashamed of my fierce words! ”

Yele Dashi stopped: "Uncle Meng's anger is relieved, we are not the founding people of the country anymore. ”

Seeing that Yele Dashi was resolute, he put down the horsewhip in his hand, sat aside, and ordered Mingjin, and said in a tired state, "Yes, everyone is not what they were when the country was founded." ”

The old man babbled back to the past: "I think we were also poor and white at that time, and we didn't even have a single armor, didn't we come here like this?" ”

"The big leader at that time was also good, he took dozens of our tribes to form a blood alliance, and vowed not to be exploited by the Liao people for the rest of his life. We'll fight all the way, grab all the way. The great chieftain had never seen those gold and silver treasures, beautiful mansions. He is always thinking about how to fight for everyone to kill less people, and I have seen him worry about everyone until late at night. ”

"At that time, although we were all different tribes, we were all like brothers. Anyone can give a wife or a child to his own kindred, and the person entrusted to him will also regard it as his own. But you know what? I went down there the other day to inspect and found that someone was devouring the widow's pension! Can you believe it? The people of their own tribe are drinking the blood of their own tribesmen! ”

"It's been less than 50 years, how did it come to be? The big leader changed when he became the emperor, although I don't like Li Baoguo's villain, but he did his best for my Daliang, Gaozu treated him like that, it was really a bit too much, and it was chilling. When I was Meng'an, there was a pawn who entrusted me with his child, and I didn't raise it with all my heart. But now, there are people who privately swallow pensions and bully orphans and widows. If this continues, who will dare to die for the beam? ”

The old man hammered his legs, reminiscing about the past, and the old tears were rampant. I don't know if I'm sad about this world, or sad that my undefeated name has been broken.

"Everyone is still the same as before, and the land is still the same as before, why do I feel so strange?"

Yele Dashi listened respectfully to the old man's chatter, and said: "Everything is to blame on the emperor Lao'er, obviously everyone was united in blood and blood, and the Liang country will always be the home of all the people, and it is he who is still dissatisfied when he sits in the highest position, and wants to become the emperor who is full of words." is the so-called upward and downward effect, the emperor is still so greedy, and the people below are naturally getting worse. Since then, people's hearts have moved, and there is no sincerity to speak of. ”
