Siege is not an easy thing, unless it is a last resort, no general will be willing to choose to attack the city, as the so-called attack heart is the top, siege is the bottom.

However, Renjin City is a city that the eldest prince Qin Yuying had to attack head-on.

Fortunately, the 200,000 are all elite soldiers and good generals guarding Xinyang City, and they are countless times higher than the defenders of Renjin City in terms of equipment and training quality.

In just one day, the eldest prince built a majestic camp in the north.

The walled gate is only five miles away from the city gate, and a single charge can make the cavalry rush back and forth.

The thick fence wood forms a thick wall, the distinctive flag flutters in the air, and the soldiers guarding the gate are all big and round, and the armor is bright.

Through the wide open walled gate, you can even see a huge, golden tent from the north tower of Renjin City, the red tassels flutter on the roof, and the tents around are embroidered with many blood-colored wolves, which are hideous and terrifying, and can be photographed to the extreme.

The blood wolves of the faith country often haunt in groups, and are gradually used as a banner and belief of the army.

Chu Jing knew that this was a deterrent for the eldest prince, whether it was the other party's army, financial resources, or all aspects, Ren Jincheng was much worse, and psychologically, the other party had the upper hand.

In fact, these were not Chu Jing's concerns, he just felt sorry for the trees that were used to build the camp.

Ren Jincheng is his, he doesn't want to destroy every grass and tree here, and besides, cutting down trees may have an impact on Zirui, which is not worth it.

Now most of the trees outside the city have been cut down by the army of the Great Prince, freeing up the battlefield and camp, but in the future, Renjin City will definitely have a lot less natural atmosphere.

Chu Jing thought that after the eldest prince withdrew his army, Renjin City would be expanded, and with the development of Chu Jing, this place might become a trading place where merchants gathered, and many people would want to move here to live.

Soon, the enemy came.

Groups of infantry marched over in a neat phalanx, banners flying, swords and guns were like a forest, and groups of cavalry followed behind, the sound of horses' hooves resounded like hail across the earth, and the military appearance was majestic.

Is this what a siege is like?

Suddenly, the cavalry accelerated, overtaking the infantry in front, and the mighty knight galloped on horseback, bent his bow and arrows, and looked at the guards on the city wall, and at the moment when the horses were flying, the sharp arrows screamed, and suddenly the guards who could not react were hit by the arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

"Raise your shield!"

The commander on the wall shouted, and in the panic, the shield stood up in the midst of the noise.

After Chu Jing gathered all the rich people's property, the extra steel thickened the shield a lot, and it was completely able to withstand this wave of arrows.

The cavalry began to retreat after firing a wave of arrows, and the infantry finally approached the city gates.

Out of the infantry phalanx came a siege vehicle, sharpened its head with huge wooden stakes, and began to ram into the city gates.

"Rolling logs!"

"Stones!"

"Hot oil!"

"Torch!"

A large number of garrison equipment was brought in by the soldiers and thrown frantically downward, while others held shields to help block the second wave of arrows, and some soldiers fought back with bows and arrows.

Chu Jing looked at it expressionlessly, at this time, there were only 10,000 soldiers on the north city wall, and the other party didn't know how many troops had been invested, but the city wall was so big, as long as it was not a protracted battle, this 10,000 people were enough for the time being.

Qin Jian and Qin Yue were both assigned to other city walls, and there were also ten Black Water Knights on the back, that is, in the south, and there were only these people that Chu Jing trusted the most, and they seemed to be a little less on the battlefield.

Zirui had been following Chu Jing all the time, only the north city gate had been attacked, and she didn't need to go anywhere else.

"What, aren't you going to try your hand?" Chu Jing said suddenly.

Looking at the bloody and tragic war scenes, Zi Rui's expression was strange, and she shook her head gently: "I'm not suitable for this kind of scene." ”

Chu Jing was speechless, who is suitable, they are all flesh and blood, the rabbit is still sad when he dies, and no one likes this kind of scene when he comes out of the devil.

"If you make a move, you'll lose a lot of deaths. Chu Jing said again.

Zi Rui shook her head again: "How many can I kill, thousands, or tens of thousands? The outcome of the war should not be determined by the number of masters. ”

"Maybe. ”

After Chu Jing finished speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a soldier. Place the arrow on the bow and slowly unleash the bow.

The bow was as wide as a full moon, the arrows were tightly fastened, and his eyes were fixed on a soldier in front of the siege engine.

Chu Jing shouted softly in his mouth, and with a "boom" of the bowstring, the long arrow suddenly shot out, "whooshing", cutting through the dense net woven by countless eyes, and flying towards the soldier.

"Bang!" At the moment when the long arrow was shot out, the bow in Chu Jing's hand couldn't withstand the huge impact of the moment the arrow was released, and it was broken into two, and the broken bowstring bounced towards Chu Jing, and he grabbed it in his hand.

"Whew!"

The long arrow sinked into the flesh, and the arrow whistled through the soldier's right chest, and immediately fell to the ground, vomiting blood foaming from his mouth.

The siege vehicle does not stop when a soldier falls, it overwhelms the body of the fallen soldier and continues to move slowly.

Zi Rui watched this scene silently, brushing down her long hair that was blown by the wind, "You didn't kill him, but he died because of you, it's different, you just made his death more painful." ”

Chu Jing looked into the distance, his gaze was far-reaching, and he didn't know what he remembered, "Life is equal, I am not qualified to judge anyone, his death may be related to me, but then it will be his fate, maybe someone will save him, maybe not, in fact they have a chance to save him." ”

Zi Rui couldn't understand these words, Chu Jing was originally different from others, and it was normal for him to say such strange words.

However, Zirui didn't make a move, and she was not interested in such a thing as one-sided killing.

There are also masters in the army of the great prince, of course, not the kind that can fly into the sky, not even the ones who climb the city wall with their bare hands.

Two teams in silver soft armor approached the city wall, and instead of using a ladder or a hook, they erected long bamboo poles on the side of the city wall, and they wanted to attack the city with the help of bamboo poles.

"Hot oil!"

At the sound of an order, the soldier poured hot oil on the bamboo pole, but the silver soft armor blocked the oil.

"Ignition!"

The flames burned down the place where the oil had been splashed, from top to bottom, and finally terrified the silver-armored soldiers.

In the battle of 10,000 people, the role of ordinary masters is reduced to a minimum, even if it is Qin Jian, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life after entering the battlefield.

Chu Jing's current inheritance is Zhao Yun, although because of the difference in time and space, the strength has changed, but even Changshan Zhao Zilong can only rampage left and right in the army most of the time, instead of really taking one as a thousand.

For a time, whether it was the soldiers of Renjin City who defended the city or the soldiers of the prince who besieged the city, there were heavy casualties, and countless soldiers left their mutilated bodies near the north city wall for a long time.

Chu Jing watched the fight on both sides coldly, although his own number was much smaller than that of the other side, he was in a high position, and he was well prepared, and he was not left behind for a while.

The battle lasted for an hour.

It's only been an hour, and the army on the opposite side has killed more than 10,000 people, corpses are all over the field, and blood is flowing like a river, but the army is still rushing forward one after another, and the cruel war has made the guards on the city wall a little numb in their arms.

The soldiers of Renjin City were not without damage, no less than two thousand people were injured by the loss, and three or five hundred died, which is much less than the siege side, but the siege battle is like this.

Moreover, the real big war has just begun.

The eldest prince frowned and looked at the corpse of the dead soldier, not because he was pitying, just because this was a bargaining chip in his hand, with a little less, and the distance from the throne would be a little farther.

Qi Lin followed behind him, his face was calm, and he admonished: "Your Majesty, don't pity the soldiers, the siege battle is like this, as long as you can attack the wall, then it is worth it to die before that." ”

The eldest prince sighed and said, "If I die too much, what will I use against the other brothers?"

"Your Majesty, fighting a war is different from child's play, it is not calculated according to the number, the soldiers of a hundred battles are worth cherishing for the generals, ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, as soon as there is a disturbance, it is possible to scatter and flee, after this battle, the number of soldiers in the hands of Your Majesty will be reduced, but it will become invincible. ”

The eldest prince pursed his lips tightly and waved his hand, and the flag soldiers next to him waved the flag, and the troops in the rear followed the troops in front of him to charge.

Countless soldiers rushed up the city wall with ladders, and more and more soldiers gathered here. The originally unattainable city wall was no longer out of reach under the accumulation of corpses underneath.

Seeing such a scene, Chu Jing finally couldn't sit still.

He couldn't have imagined that the eldest prince would be so impatient, and he would finish his work without any temptation, and directly wanted to sweep away Renjin City.

"Quickly, order the 10,000 soldiers in front of the city lord's mansion to rush to support, don't act rashly at the other city walls, and be careful of the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

Even in such a crisis scene, Chu Jing would definitely not allow the soldiers of the other three city walls to act rashly, for no other reason, simply because there were too few of them.

With the city wall condescending, 20,000 people can resist 200,000, but as long as the other party devotes 50,000 to attack the weakly defended city wall, it is very likely that Renjin City will be lost, and the northern city wall will become meaningless at that time.

To deal with siege engines, oil and fire are the best combination.

The siege equipment of the great prince is made of local materials, made temporarily, and it is definitely not well-made, under the fire offensive, it has resisted wave after wave of charges, and there are already nine siege vehicles that have been burned and lost.

Fortunately, Chu Jing gathered the cooking oil and fire oil of all the families in the city together, even if he had been consuming it like this, he could last for three days.

As for three days later......

If the eldest prince really wants to attack for three days in a row, there will be nothing left of his own army, and it is very likely that the jade will be burned.

The men of the security team arranged for the people to boil the oil in cauldrons near the city walls, and then let their soldiers carry it up one pot after another, splash it with large spoons, use scoops, whether it was ladders or siege engines or other utensils, as long as the oil was glued, the archers on the city walls lit the rockets wrapped in cotton and set them on fire.

And the soldiers who were stained with hot oil on their skin were even more pitiful.

Cracks exploded on his body, blood burst out, and terrible screams lingered in the hustle and bustle.

Flames, screams, dead bodies......

On the burning ladder, the soldier charged with the same burning shield, and then was crushed to death by a boulder in mid-air, and the thrilling tragedy happened all the time.

Miserable, extremely tragic!

"What should I do? Just watch them die?"

The eldest prince was anxious and heartbroken, he fidgeted, got up and sat down, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and scratched his hair anxiously.

If this is the case in every battle, then even if he sits on the throne, there will be nothing left of Shinkoku, and what will he use to deal with possible invasions from other countries.

Qi Lin, as the right-hand man of the eldest prince, was also upset at this time, he didn't expect Chu Jing's preparation to be so sufficient, and he didn't expect that even if the other party was attacking the city with all his might, he would not even gather the soldiers of the other city walls.

The first time he experienced the war, Chu Jing did better than any general.

The 90,000 troops sent out were still lying in ambush outside.

The camp is covered by a huge gate, and the people in Renjin City can't see the scene inside, in fact, there are not many troops here.

Ninety thousand troops went around the other three walls of Renjin City overnight and hid themselves, and as long as the signal was issued here, they attacked the city with all their might.

However, Chu Jing only relied on 10,000 people, plus later support, and definitely would not exceed 20,000 people, to resist the 100,000 army, and even caused heavy losses to the 100,000 army.

An army of 100,000 cannot storm the walls, so what can an army of 30,000 do?

The sky finally darkened, the sunset was as red as blood, the sky was dyed red, and the ground was red with blood.

Night is not suitable for fighting, not only can they not distinguish between friend and foe, but they can't even tell where they are coming.

"Mingjin withdraw our troops, Your Majesty, we may need to think of other ways, so the casualties will be too great. Qi Lin suggested.

The eldest prince who had already had this intention hurriedly sounded the big cymbal to collect the troops, and the soldiers who had fought all day slowly retreated, all of them looked listless, and the defeat of this siege made their morale drop greatly.

Chu Jing did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, on the one hand, he did not have enough soldiers, on the other hand, the soldiers defending the city were tired, and many people were completely numb because of drawing bows and shooting arrows, and their arms were swollen like big turnips.

But they are for their own lives, no one will complain about anything, and for soldiers, it is enough luck to survive every war.

The siege army came with a magnificent momentum, and when it left, it was dejected.

In the evening, Chu Jing held a bonfire party on the city wall, took out the best ingredients, and treated the soldiers well.

Substantial pensions and rewards were also promised, which boosted morale a lot.

With the help of the bonfire, Ren Jincheng showed that his victorious side had enough light to prevent the opponent from attacking at night, and it could also boost morale, killing three birds with one stone.

In the end, Chu Jing did not rest assured that everyone would rest, but set up countless tents on the city tower, and scattered the soldiers of the northern city wall on other city walls, so that this defender had enough vitality and physical strength again.

Ren Jincheng was arranged in an orderly manner and busy, but the eldest prince's side began to worry.

They also had the upper hand, losing nearly 15,000 men and 7,000 wounded, but on the bright side, they were still outnumbered.

Whether it's offensive or defensive, they have absolute dominance.

In the golden tent, the eldest prince said slowly: "Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight." ”

"That's all there is to it. Qi Lin thought for a while, "Can we change the angle, although Renjin City is important, it is not necessary to obtain, Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City are waiting, but it doesn't mean that there are no other ways to let them return to their hearts......"

He didn't have the luxury of using any method to trick Chu Jing out of the city for a decisive battle, Chu Jing was not a local, and nothing could threaten him.

"Juyun City, it's easier to defend and more difficult to attack than Renjin City, and it's ...... I don't want to face the third brother yet. ”

The eldest prince knew that the third prince had gathered a lot of soldiers under his hands, and there was nothing more important than holding heavy troops, in his thoughts, he should gather other forces, and then decide the victory with the third prince in one fell swoop.

"But there is no Chu Jing in Juyun City. ”

Qi Lin didn't know what method Chu Jing used to raise so many materials, and what method he used to make the army completely obey the order, and there were no deserters.

You must know that the other soldiers defending the city either panicked or became deserters after seeing the army pressing the border, and there were very few who dared to face ten times the enemy head-on.

Qi Lin knew very little information, but the most important information was that Chu Jing was in Renjin City, and the city lord of Juyun City would definitely not do better than Chu Jing.

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, but he felt that there was some reason, and hurriedly asked, "Say what you think." ”

Qi Lin told the story.

"Juyun City is a hundred miles east of Renjin City, and the march will take about two days, and today we just finished attacking Renjin City, they would never have imagined that we would go around to Juyun City, just to catch them off guard. ”

"Moreover, after taking Juyun City, he is more qualified to negotiate with the two city lords of Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, the three cities are each other's horns, besieging Renjin City in the middle, turning it into an isolated island. ”

"The reason why the two city lords of Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City are hesitant is because they can't tell which prince has the greater advantage, but after we take Juyun City, as long as they are willing to help, they can easily take Renjin City immediately, with the support of four more cities, Your Majesty will definitely be able to sit firmly on the dragon chair, what reason do they have not to help?"

The eldest prince was moved by Qi Lin's words, "Okay, good, good! ”

"Your Majesty Xie!" Qi Lin bowed.

"Well......" the eldest prince thought for a moment, "The soldiers left to confront Ren Jincheng should not be fewer, nor too many, how many talents Aiqing needs to be sure." ”

Qi Lin was firmly huge: "Ninety thousand people are enough." ”

Of the 100,000 people who attacked the city today, 10,000 camped, and 90,000 were ambushed on the other three walls of Renjin City, and what Qi Lin wanted was the 90,000 people who were responsible for the ambush.

"Ninety thousand is too little, I'll give you 150,000!" said the eldest prince.
