Three days after the night attack, Yin Ziqi's rebels really launched another round of attacks as Zhang Xun expected, and they learned the previous lessons and acted more cautiously, always on guard against possible attacks by the defenders, which reduced their siege strength a lot, but also made the Tang army unable to find a chance to counterattack for a while. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Now there is only a battle to the death." Zhang Xun had long expected such a situation, the rebels were not fools, the same trick could never succeed twice, the big hole in the city wall had been firmly sealed by him, and the bluff at night did not play much role, the rebel soldiers were forced by the officer to rest in the barracks, and the torches thrown from time to time made Suiyang City and the rebel camp almost nowhere to hide, and the soldiers who tried to sneak attack had to retreat.

However, these three days still gave the defenders a precious opportunity, the houses in Suiyang City were demolished, and the bricks and stones turned out of it became a sharp weapon to defend the city, even some fine wooden sticks and bamboo branches were also made into arrow shafts, and arrows made of molten gods and other metal objects were connected, and these arrows would bring endless death to the rebels.

Even the sawdust and other materials were not wasted, they were collected and boiled with foul-smelling excrement, which was boiled and splashed down the city walls, always taking the lives of several rebels.

Pulling out the feather arrow and putting it on the longbow, he quickly shot at the archers on the arrow tower who slowly pushed over, and the back army around Li You also aimed at the soldiers who pushed the arrow tower slowly forward, but unfortunately the big shield did not play much role. Zhang Xun looked at the approaching arrow tower from the city wall, and kept sending signals to the city, and the trebuchet hidden behind the city wall kept adjusting its position, and then threw out the boulder violently.

The huge stone flew towards the arrow tower with the hatred of Suiyang City, and after a few big stones, one of them finally hit the arrow tower, and the tall arrow tower collapsed, killing countless rebel soldiers who had no time to run.

There was no time to cheer, the soldiers in the city hurriedly moved the trebuchets to other places, if they hesitated a little, they would usher in the counterattack of the rebel trebuchets, and there are not many trebuchets left in Suiyang City now, and they must not be wasted at will, if not, what will be to deal with the large siege equipment of the thief army?

As they expected, as soon as the trebuchet was moved, the boulder fired by the rebels also hit their location, and these people didn't have time to rejoice, so they re-installed the trebuchet and began to counterattack the rebels' trebuchet according to Zhang Xun's guidance......

The rebels were so numerous that a few trebuchets could not destroy all their large siege engines, and it was difficult to find flammable materials such as grease in the city, and it was impossible to use rockets to burn them; Eventually, an arrow tower came into their range.

The top of the arrow tower was even higher than the top of the city wall, and the archers of these rebels were condescending, and their deadly arrows were aimed at the Suiyang defenders on the top of the city wall, "This person must be the general of the Tang Army!" Shoot him with me! ”

A rebel leader commanding on the top of the arrow tower aimed at Lei Wanchun, who was standing at the head of the city and commanding the battle.

"Good! The enemy general has been shot. The rebel leader couldn't help but be overjoyed, shooting a Tang army general was a great merit, and the general would definitely award a generous reward after responding.

"That's... Seems to be a wooden man? Put on armor to scare me and wait? But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the general who was hit by the arrow falling, and he didn't even make a move, and the rebels on the top of the arrow tower couldn't help but be puzzled.

When Lei Wanchun was hit by an arrow, the mood of the Tang Army in the distance also fell to the bottom, could it be that General Lei, who was invincible in the past, was going to die here? But seeing that Lei Wanchun did not move in the slightest, they relaxed again, this must be the thief army missed, General Lei was still safe and sound, they quickened the movements of their hands, and another group of rebels were killed by them under the city wall.

In such a stunned effort, the trebuchet in the city had already adjusted its direction, and the three big stones were fired together, and the rebel soldiers who had just shot Lei Wanchun fell into the dust along with the arrow tower, and died on the spot in an instant.

Another wave of rebels was repulsed, and only then did Lei Wanchun slowly raise his hand, grab the arrows on his face and pull them off one by one, blood flowing all over his cheeks, but Lei Wanchun never let out a cry of pain, as if these arrows did not hit him.

"General Lei is really a god." The doctor who came in a hurry couldn't help but sigh, he had treated countless wounded soldiers in Suiyang City, but this was the first time he had seen a person with a body in the arrow and his face did not change, he hurriedly stepped forward to carefully check, apply medicine, wrap, and finally sang a breath, "Fortunately, the wound is still shallow, there is no quenching poison, General Lei's life is fine, just go down and rest for a few days." ”

"Now that all the soldiers are holding on to the city, how can a certain general go down to rest?" Lei Wanchun, whose face was covered with a white cloth, categorically refused, and got up again and brandished a double hammer to kill the rebels on the ladder, inspired by this, the Tang soldiers on this wall all burst out with huge combat effectiveness, and killed the rebels who attacked the city head in an instant.

Li You, Yao Xu, Jia Ben and others on the other city walls also led their soldiers and rebels to fight to the death, Xu Yuan constantly commanded the people to carry down the wounded soldiers and transport rolling wood and stones, and Zhang Xun led his personal guards to constantly roam the city walls, supporting every place where there were loopholes, and taking into account the defense command of the entire city.

After a long ordeal, the bright red sunset finally slowly set below the horizon, and night fell again, and the rebels who had been attacking for a whole day also retreated like a tide under the orders of the generals, leaving only countless corpses.

The enemy finally retreated, and the defenders on the walls breathed a sigh of relief, and instead smiled brightly, glad that they had lived one more day.

A small Suiyang city is like a meat grinder ruthlessly devouring the lives of the rebels and the reeling sides, just on this day there are thousands of rebels killed and wounded, and the defenders in the city have also suffered huge losses, just after the enemy retreated and sat on the ground and never got up again, there were as many as double digits.

This battle has been fought so far, almost all the hole cards on both sides have been revealed, and the trick of raiding like the previous few times is probably useless, and from now on it will be slowly consumed, Li You has a very clear understanding of the current situation, but with less than 4,000 soldiers and 20,000 people left in the city, can he block Yin Ziqi's 100,000 army outside the city?

ps: Lei Wanchun's arrow happened in the previous Battle of Yongqiu, and I moved it here. (To be continued.) )
