After a trip to the mothership of the sea blue world and meeting Princess Irina, Charlotte's heart strength index fixed at 0.5, an increase of 0.2 points, which surprised Charlotte.

Charlotte doesn't know what that means.

When I went up to the city, I saw that the open space of the meat grinder-like battlefield outside the city wall of the East Gate was full of corpses, the banners of the Qin army were planted on the ground crookedly, and the corpses of the soldiers were piled up like a hill.

The battlefield that suddenly calmed down was a little sad.

The soldiers at the head of the city were also tired.

Even if it is rotated once every two hours, the physical strength is a little unable to withstand the crazy attack of the forty or fifty thousand Qin troops in one night.

Irina's eyes took away 20,000 people with lightning, and the remaining 10,000 or so died at the hands of city crossbows, oil, rolling logs, and stones.

For the whole night, Qin Junleng was not able to enter the city.

This achievement greatly increased the self-confidence of the defenders of Fencheng, while the Qin army was sluggish.

The Qin army, known for its ferocity and unstoppability, once again tasted the hardships of being trapped under the difficult city.

How big the psychological shadow area is, only they know.

Wang Ben was silent with Wang Di and others in the Chinese military tent.

"General Wang, this Fencheng is so difficult to attack, the hoplites in the rear battalion have lost more than 30,000 people, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it even if it is all exhausted. ”

Wang Ben said.

"Hmph, I'm afraid Fencheng is at the last moment at this time, right? Let's attack it for another day and night, I don't believe we can't take it. ”

Wang Di didn't want to give up.

"Alright, let's storm it again for another day and night. ”

After Wang Ben finished speaking, he got up and stood up, bowed his hand to Wang Di, and sent troops out of the account.

An hour later, the Qin army's rear camp of 50,000 heavily armored foot soldiers marched in.

This time, Wang Ben and 10,000 other people did civil engineering first.

Dig into the ground!

One earthen wall after another covered the approach, and high walls were raised side by side outside the city wall of the east gate of Fencheng.

A hundred meters away, 10,000 people dug with swords.

The snow in winter was very hard, but the Qin soldiers seemed to be very experienced, and slowly dug a deep trench.

Seeing the trench expanding forward, gradually approaching Fencheng.

The other 20,000 shouted and rushed forward with a ladder.

The sky is getting brighter, and the defenders at the head of the city are in full array.

All 40,000 people pounced.

The hoplites used by the Qin army to attack the city.

In addition, 30,000 sharp soldiers also came to participate in the trench operation.

The Qin army's offensive was resolute and ferocious.

However, the defenders of Fencheng took turns to eat breakfast, and then went to the head of the city to shoot arrows, pour oil, throw torches, and throw wooden stones, all of which became skilled workers.

Charlotte watched the more than 40,000 Qin soldiers under the city charge with all their might, and sighed in her heart that the iron and blood of the Qin army was really not blown.

When he raised his eyes, he saw more than 40,000 people digging a ditch a hundred meters away, and woke Mo Zhai up.

"What's the matter, Xiao Xia Gongzi, Qin Jun can't last long like this. ”

"Blocking their wave, they are afraid that they will have to think about retreating. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Don't you see that?"

"These Qin troops are not supplied. ”

"How?"

Charlotte asked.

Although he also saw some clues, he still wanted to hear the high opinion of the head of the Mo family.

After the two battles of Wencheng and Fencheng, their relationship has greatly improved.

"Every time the Qin army attacked the city, it was covered by a wave of feather arrows, but this morning the feather arrow attack stopped. Mo Zhai said.

Charlotte Says:

"It seems that there are not many clusters of arrows, but the rations seem to last two days. ”

"Oh, how did Xiao Xia Gongzi see it?"

"I guess. ”

"The 300,000 army is enough, half a catty per person a day, and 150,000 catties of grain, and the forage needed for those horses will not be less. ”

"After besieging Handan City, even if this Qin army had been supplied before evacuating, after a five-hundred-mile march, it was almost consumed. ”

"So, I guess the 300,000-strong army will last a week at most. ”

"Well, that makes sense. ”

"But Xiao Xia Gongzi don't be careless, Fencheng is within the sphere of influence of Western Qin, at most three days, the Qin army report will be delivered to the King of Qin, and at that time, a large number of Qin reinforcements will come non-stop. ”

"Therefore, the most important thing about whether we can eat this Qin army under the city is whether our reinforcements can arrive in advance. ”

Mo Zhai is old after all, and his analysis is exactly the same as Charlotte's previous prediction.

"Hey, the grain and grass we carry can last for a month at most, so if the reinforcements don't come for a month, and the Qin army is still attacking the city so fiercely, it will be dangerous. ”

"Hehe, don't be pessimistic, Zhao and Qin don't share the sky, I can't wait to destroy Qin immediately, I estimate that in seven days at most, reinforcements will arrive." ”

Mo Zhai is confident.

"Sir, do you have a way to crack the civil engineering siege strategy?"

Charlotte asked suddenly.

"How?"

Mo Zhai was a little surprised, this little Xia Gongzi's thinking jumped a little.

"Sir, a hundred meters away, the Qin army is digging a trench and extending towards the city wall. ”

"Hmph, then let's use trench to trench. ”

Mo Zhai said.

Mo Zhai immediately ordered the disciples of the Mo family to lead 10,000 foot soldiers in the city to dig tunnels from the city, and the civil engineering of the Mo family was definitely faster than the Qin army outside the city.

They have advanced tools, shovels, hoes, etc., and carry them with them.

A passage was immediately excavated ten meters below the east gate, and the civil engineering work inside was not visible from the outside.

Two hours later, they arrived outside the city, and then they excavated in all directions, hollowing out the east gate 500 meters long and 50 meters deep.

However, the trench of the Qin army was only three meters deep.

Along the way, dozens of exits were dug thirty meters away from the city wall, and five thousand elites suddenly killed from them, frightening the Qin soldiers who were digging trenches.

slashed and killed, killing more than 1,000 Qin soldiers who had more than 1,000 civil engineering operations.

"Haha, well done!"

Charlotte commanded the soldiers to defend the city at the head of the city, and when he looked up and saw that five thousand elites suddenly appeared behind the Qin army, he couldn't help but applaud.

Waiting for the surrounding Qin troops to react, the five thousand elites retreated into the tunnel in an orderly manner, and Shi Shiran retreated into the city.

The Qin army didn't dare to come down to pursue, so they had to suffer a dumb loss.

The news reached Wang Ben, and it was a big turnaround.

It's a bit of a poor donkey.

The civil siege was recognized.

"There really is a master guarding it!"

I had no choice but to stop working.

The concentrated ladder continued to storm.

At this time, Wang Yi was lying on a stretcher and was carried over.

"Why, civil engineering has also failed?"

"Yes, General, the people inside are earth-to-earth, tunnel-to-tunnel. ”

"If you want to build a platform under the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve. ”

"Well, that doesn't stop the work. ”

"All our actions are to consume their strength, I don't believe it, up and down, just a few people in Fencheng can withstand a few days?"

After all, Wang Yi is a veteran, and he woke up Wang Ben, who was just twenty-four or five years old.

"The general was right, and I ordered the civil work to continue. ”

Immediately, another 10,000 Qin Rui soldiers were sent to join the civil tunnel operation.

"Hey, don't give up!"

Charlotte and Mo Zhai were a little puzzled when they saw that the other party had sent more people to carry out engineering operations in the city.

"Giant, it stands to reason that if this kind of civil engineering operation is discovered, it will be ineffective, why didn't Qin Jun give up?"

Charlotte was a little puzzled.

As soon as she asked, Charlotte figured it out to herself.

"Hey, hey, so calculating!"

"What's the matter, Xiao Xia Gongzi, what kind of medicine is sold in this Qin Army's gourd?"

"It's trying to kill us. ”

"He attacked all night, fought to the death, and in the morning rested for an hour and attacked again. ”

Charlotte Road.

"There are a lot of them, and they still have that plan, fighting for consumption. ”

"Well, that makes sense. ”

Mo Zhai also understood why the Qin army's civil engineering siege tactics were discovered and counter-killed.

"What a ruthless method. ”

Mo Zhai said.

"It doesn't matter, we have enough food and grass, food and drink, and high walls and good locations, so let's fight with them. ”

Charlotte bent her bow and shot an arrow at a sword-wielding commander in the city, piercing her throat and falling to the ground.

Killing people is numb.

The rotation of one thousand people and one thousand people, steamed buns and water are available at any time.

Charlotte said in her heart, fight with me, can you fight?

Charlotte knew too well what the essence of war meant, and supplies and morale were the core things.

Mo Zhai was right just now, if he resisted this day and night, Qin Jun would have to go crazy.

Maybe it will take the third day and the third night, and it doesn't matter, as long as the supply line of Ximen cutting wood and stone is continuous, and the food and grass in the city are sufficient, it is no problem to consume the mob under the city.

Charlotte placed fifty crossbows and five hundred archers at the corner between the east and south gates to guard the narrow passage under the walls leading to the south gate.

Wang Ben has not stopped scouting the situation at the south gate, the west gate, and the north gate, but every time the masters sent out are lost under the city crossbow and feather arrows.

Even if you rush to the south gate, there is a big village stationed at the corner of the south gate and the west gate, and the big wooden blocks are built on stone.

At the head of the city were also dozens of city crossbows, which were originally guarded by 20,000 defenders, but later the situation at the east gate was urgent, and Charlotte transferred the 10,000 defenders at the head of the city to the east gate to participate in the rotation.

The passage under the corner of the east gate and the north gate is even narrower, and only more than 100 people can go with it.

The advantage of the terrain makes Fencheng easy to defend and difficult to attack.

What's more important is Charlotte's city crossbow and oil, coupled with Mo Zhai's arrow cluster production, which makes Fencheng impregnable.

"If you want to consume, then consume, you will consume your life, let's use arrows and fire. ”

Seeing that the situation was fine, Charlotte found an open space and sat down cross-legged.

Mo Zhai also sat down, and the two of them each took a white-flour steamed bun, chewed it heavily, looked at each other and smiled.

"Hey, giant, do you see that if we throw hundreds of steamed buns into the city now, will those Qin soldiers who are attacking the city rob them?"

Charlotte whimsical.

"Haha, good strategy, attack the heart. ”

"Let's do it. ”

Charlotte immediately ordered the kitchen to cook a thousand white-flour steamed buns in the Shuaifu canteen, and put crotons in them.

Two hours later, hot white-flour steamed buns were served at the head of the city.

Charlotte picked up an Acropolis invention—a tin trumpet—which she had piggybacked on when making the tin pipe for the stove.

Charlotte shouted to the city: "Hey, fellow villagers, don't climb, you don't look at it, such a big fire, such a dense arrow, your commander is sending you to death." ”

"I've been fighting for so long, and I'm hungry, and I'm distressed when I look at you. ”

"Fellow villagers, then, the brothers in the city have some sympathy for you, these steamed buns are leftovers, and if they are wasted, I will give them to you. ”

"And then~"

After saying that, Charlotte ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to throw steamed buns together.
