Han Yuqing said that the siege of the city and the attack of fire and earth were attacked, and Qin Guan agreed very much.

Now the river is frozen, and the water can't attack. The weather is cold, the plague does not work at all, and the tunnels cannot be dug. As for noise, spy infiltration, these are the means of a long war, and there is no rush for the time being.

Siege the city, so that the enemy's inner pressure doubles.

As for fire attack, this is what Qin Guan is best at.

Qin Guan immediately ordered to set up a stone throwing machine, so that the Liao people could enjoy the power of the explosive bag first.

On the top of the city of Zhongjing, the left prime minister Yelu Longyun, the right prime minister Chu Jian, the commander of the Zhongjing defense general Xiao Yixu, and a number of ministers and generals all boarded the city to check the situation of the Zhao army.

As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, and there are 100,000 people, and the sky is full of them.

100,000 people gathered outside the city, waving flags, people shouting horses and neighing, the scene was very shocking, but these people had seen a big scene, so naturally they would not be scared to see this kind of scene.

The Northern Route Army was already driving away the Liao soldiers, collecting snow and stones.

Qin Guan asked people to make a lot of wooden boxes, put the snow in it and step on it, or sprinkle some water, it turned into snow bricks, this trick is very useful.

Yelu Longyun was a little emaciated, and the wide official uniform blown by the wind whirred, but he stood straight, looked at the movements of the Zhao army below, and said: "The Zhao army has captured fifty or sixty thousand of my soldiers and civilians, and it seems that they are ready to drive them to fill in the earth for the road, these are all our people." ”

Chu Jian, the right prime minister, said with a cold face: "When you fight against Zhao Bing, you don't know how to fight to the death, and you are willing to be captured, you should have this awareness." ”

At this time, a general pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look over there, Zhao Jun seems to be assembling a stone thrower." ”

After the stone thrower was assembled, the Northern Route Army began to push these chariots forward, stopping at a distance of about 500 meters from Zhongjing City, hundreds of chariots lined up, and the soldiers methodically lit braziers, put on the winch, and prepared explosive packs.

There is no hint of rush.

However, the Liao ministers and generals at the head of the city looked at the corners of their eyes, and someone said: "This can't be the kind of siege weapon that can explode in the Zhao army." ”

Someone nodded, "Probably so." ”

"Why don't we get out of the city, it's said to be very dangerous."

At this time, Yelu Longyun, the prime minister of Zuo, said: "In the future, we will have to face this weapon of Zhao Jun, and if we don't know how to deal with it, we will observe it carefully here, and it is best to find a way to crack it." ”

As soon as Yelu Longyun finished speaking, the Northern Route Army began shelling.

"The first round of salvos, attacking the city defense of the central capital, launching."

"Launch !!"

Whoosh, hundreds of round explosive bags flew towards the head of Zhongjing City like meteors.

The soldiers of the Liao State watched these explosive packets fly in front of their eyes, and suddenly exploded, and countless people died on the spot with blood and flesh splashed.

"Boom~"

A cannonball happened to land in the place where the officials were gathered.

Booming explosion.

The shock wave of the explosion and the iron nails that shot inside suddenly became a life-threatening talisman, knocking down a large number of these Liao ministers.

"My mother."

"I'm going to die."

"Hurry up and become prime minister."

This bomb killed more than a dozen Liao officials, including Chu Jian, the right prime minister, and the city was in chaos.

Dare to stand at the head of the city and look at the scenery under the shelling, which is a model of not being afraid of death.

No one thought about any way to break the enemy anymore, and those who could run all ran away.

"The second round of scattering, aimed at the city, is the longest-distance projectile."

"Boom, boom."

Bombs raged in the city of Zhongjing.

"Third Round of Scattering Castleheads"

The artillery was constantly shelling, and the Zhao army began to drive the Liao prisoners, approaching the city walls, and throwing snow bricks and stones into the moat on their shoulders.

When the Liao State guard saw it, he immediately ordered: "Shoot arrows, shoot all these people to death." ”

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh."

Countless arrows fell from the city, and the river bank was only forty or fifty meters away from the city wall, which was the best attack range for archers.

When the captives in the back looked at it, countless people shouted: "We are Liao, don't kill us." ”

The soldiers defending the city did not hesitate at all, because they knew that if they did not shoot these people, they would end up worse than these people when the capital was breached.

"Shoot, shoot me hard."

Puff puff.

Countless arrows were shot at those Liao soldiers, and a large number of them died in a short time, estimated at no less than three or five thousand people, and some Liao soldiers fell directly down the moat and became part of the roadbed.

After those captives were shot, they dropped the stones and snow quickly, and ran back desperately, Xue Mu's face sank, and he asked Xiong Er next to him, "Second general, do you want to kill a batch." ”

Xiong Er smiled and said: "Don't worry, the young master has already said before, if the Liao defenders shoot the prisoners, we don't have to punish these prisoners, let them come back, we must give them a glimmer of hope to live, look at it, the eldest brother will beat the Liao army guards at the head of the city in a while, let's drive them over." ”

As he spoke, he saw the trebuchet unit start shelling again.

"Boom Boom"

With the continuous sound of explosions, hundreds of Liao troops were killed in the capital of Zhongjing.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Er said, "You can let them continue to go on." ”

Xiong Da looked into the distance and said to Qin Guan: "Young Master, the efficiency of those captives filling in the soil is too low. ”

Qin Guan smiled: "It's all earned anyway." ”

They are all from Liao, he doesn't care if he dies or not, even if they all die, no one will feel distressed, and they will throw their bodies into the moat as a roadbed.

At noon, the Northern Route Army rested and lit a fire to cook, and those captives also received dry food, and the soldiers of the Northern Route Army could drink hot broth.

In the afternoon the offensive continued,

The offensive continued in the evening.

In the past two days, the three passages leading to the city gate, the filling has advanced more than ten meters, and the effect is still good, but the Liao prisoners have also died tens of thousands of people, which is still Qin Guan sympathized with them, and let the craftsman battalion make them a batch of simple wooden shields, which reduced the loss.

However, Qin Guan is not satisfied with some things,

The commander of the craftsman battalion was called and asked, "There are bigger stone throwers, and the current stone throwers can only hit the outer city, if there is one that can hit the inner city." ”

"Dashuai, there is indeed a larger stone throwing machine, called the "cloud artillery car", and the range can reach about 23,400 meters. The commander of the Craftsman Battalion replied.

Qin Guan's eyes lit up, "You can make it." ”

"We can make it, but we don't bring that much wood, we need to go into the mountains to find it, find the right wood, it takes about three days to make a cloud artillery truck, I saw it when I came, there are a few pine and hazel trees in the mountains and forests are very suitable."

Qin Guan immediately ordered the construction of a "cloud artillery car".
