At noon that day, Jiang Cheng barracks.

Mo Wen was carefully wrapping the bandages from the Traveler's House around his neck...... The secular medical environment in this era is very poor, and Mo Wen doesn't want to escape from the deadly sniper but finally die on the reason for the wound infection.

"General Mo, are you okay?" Long Yang broke into the camp tent in a panic, with a concerned expression: "I heard that you were injured by Yang Guo's archers at the head of the city...... Are there any big problems? ”

"It's okay, it's just a small injury...... I'll be on the battlefield in the afternoon! Using Yun Ying to pick off the bandage and skillfully tie a knot, Mo Wen twisted his neck, and then said to Long Yang Zhengse: "The prince should also be careful, that archer is quite powerful." "[Don't die before you break out......]

"I see." Long Yang nodded, "Is there anything else the general needs?" ”

[That's right! Mo Wen hit a wit, then took off the armor on his body and handed it to Long Yang...... Unexpectedly, he pushed him back.

"I don't know what Long Yang did wrong?" Long Yang looked serious: "Why does the general want to abandon me at this time, and ignore the 100,000 people of Jiang Country?" Could it be that the events of the morning have chilled the general's heart? ”

“？” Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Prince, you think too much...... I don't mean to resign, I just want you to change the color of this armor, after all, this shiny gold armor looks so attractive. ”

"I see, it was Long Yang who misunderstood the general...... I wonder what color the general wants to paint this armor in? Long Yang sincerely apologized to Mo Wen, and then asked.

[Blue and purple are too conspicuous, cyan and green are unlucky......] Mo Wen thought about it and replied, "Black is fine." ”

……

At the same time, the Yang army battalion.

"You are the glimpse who injured Jiang Guomo with an arrow?" King Yang looked at the young man in front of him with interest: "Does the young man have some skills?" ”

"The skill of the micro end is not enough to worry about the teeth." Glimpse lowered his head: "There is another strange strategy below, which can help the king capture Jiang Cheng." ”

"Oh?" The smile on King Yang's face gradually receded, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's hear it." ”

……

"Huh? Why did Yang Guo's gang withdraw from the army...... There's a conspiracy. ”

In the afternoon, on the upper floor of Jiang Chengcheng, Mo Wenping, who had put on the thick bronze armor again, looked into the distance, with a dignified face.

[But it's just right, thank you for giving me a break...... Look at what I'm giving you! Mo Wen thought about it and went down to the city to find Longyang.

After that, there was a plain confrontation, and the Yang army did not besiege the city, so it was always guarding the north gate of Jiangcheng, and many people of Jiangguo took the opportunity to go out of the city from the other three city gates to collect firewood...... Of course, these people who left the city were counted by the army, and they had to be closely inspected when they returned. Mo Wen didn't want to be met by Yang Guo's gang of guys.

The days of peace continued like this for five days...... On the morning of the sixth day, shortly after dawn, Yang Guo resumed its siege.

And this time, Mo Wen saw a lot of interesting things from it.

Huge and irregular round wooden wheels, rough but sturdy-looking brackets, and six hemp ropes protruding from underneath hung a huge log, the top of which was wrapped in metal skin...... It's like a big swing.

[It's kind of interesting...... Isn't this a simplified, inferior version of the siege engine made by the orcs in The Lord of the Rings? Mo Wen squinted, waved his hand at the Jiang soldiers: "Carry those big stones on the city wall!" ”

"Yes!" Just when the giant machine was still moving towards the city gate, five huge stones had already been placed on the city gate of Jiang Guo...... Mo Wen believed that as long as that shoddy battering ram dared to approach, these big guys he prepared would definitely make the hard work of the Yang State army these days come to naught.

Without unexpectedness, the giant wooden wheeled cart stopped at the edge of the range of Jiang Guo's archers.

"Jiang Guo's soldiers and civilians, listen, this is the last chance!" A man with a rudimentary brass megaphone shouted, "Your fragile city gate can't withstand the bombardment of my Yang Kingdom's siege hammer!" I want to surrender King Yang but I want you some wealth...... Otherwise, after the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

[This traveler's brain is funny, he is sure that these ancients of the Spring and Autumn Period can understand the meaning of the idioms from the history of the Three Kingdoms? Wrong! The world of fairy swords is definitely much more than the Spring and Autumn period in history, and this city wall can not be built until at least the Qin and Han dynasties. And the tung oil that is refined...... Does cultivation drive the development of science and technology? Mo Wen pursed his lips, and then said to the soldiers of Jiang Guo who were slightly disturbed: "Brothers! If you want money once, you will have to ask for a second time, and King Yang's greed is not satisfied...... He's always going to drive us to the brink of extinction! Jiang Wang is benevolent and governs the country in an orderly manner, do you want to go to that kind of life when you don't have enough food and no warm clothes? ”

Seeing that the commotion of the Jiang soldiers in the city gradually stopped, the traveler stopped talking and slowly retreated into the formation.

The earth-shattering drums sounded again.

……

"Glimpse, did you say the battering ram was useful?" King Yang looked at the boulder on the city wall and frowned slightly: "Jiang Guo seems to be prepared." ”

"The power of the giant hammer is not unseen by the king, as long as the murder weapon can stop under the city gate for ten breaths, the city gate will be broken." Glimpse lowered his head: "Besides, didn't the king pin all his hopes on the murder weapon?" ”

"Yes." King Yang nodded: "Let them play now...... You go too. ”

"Yes."

……

[Is there a ladder plus a siege vehicle? It's really something new......] Mo Wen chuckled, he had already taken precautions against these things. [That's fine, if there are no surprises, it will be easier for me to defend the city......]

"Herald! Soldiers other than archers pay attention to the long ladders and push them down as soon as there are ladders up the walls! Mo Wen waved his hand: "That weird car will be handed over to me!" ”

"General! This ladder can't be pushed down! "Just a moment later, a soldier came with bad news, and when Mo Wen looked at it, he found something strange: two hemp ropes hung down in the middle of the ladder, and two shield-wielding soldiers struggled to pull the ropes......

[Underestimating them a little...... But it still didn't exceed my expectations. Mo Wen squinted, and then gave an order: "Pour the prepared tung oil down the ladder, and then set it on fire...... You save me a little! There's not much of it. ”

[Huh? Dangerous! Mo Wen, who was commanding, frowned, suddenly turned his head, and swept with his sword.

Boom!

After the cloud shadow came into contact with the feather arrow that came into contact, it let out a loud roar, and the huge force shook Mo Wen's entire right arm, and the feather arrow was also deflected by Mo Wen and inserted into the city wall.

[Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, it's not easy for you to plot against me......] Mo Wen smiled coldly at the inconspicuous archer under the city, moved his slightly numb right hand, and then bent a strong bow.

[It's also rude to come and go...... You can take my arrows too! The bow was like a full moon, and the faint spiritual power converged on the arrow, and Mo Wen narrowed his eyes.

【Medium!】 Mo Wen secretly sighed in his heart, and the feather arrow shot like a meteor towards the glimpse of the battlefield.

……

[This man actually blocked my splitting wind? The glimpse of the city widened his eyes. [How can this guy say that he has more than two stars...... No, this is obviously a boss, and I'm not sure I'll take it down alone. 】

Thinking of this, the glimpse didn't stop any longer, grabbed his companion and walked back.

In the air, a feathered arrow shot down, easily piercing the shield of the shield-wielding soldier, and then piercing his left chest, and the powerful momentum directly pinned him to the ground.

Blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

……

"Hint: You killed an elite Yang soldier and gained 15 generic points."

[Aiming off...... It's a shame. Mo Wen put down the longbow. [I'm really not used to playing with bows and arrows.] 】

"You don't have to worry about that big guy in the city!" Mo Wen commanded to the soldiers in the city: "Don't stop, archers, don't aim at the car, if you can't hurt anyone, shoot me the soldiers who climb the ladder!" ”

"General...... The strange car. Mo asked the soldiers beside him and reminded, "Do you want the brothers to push these stones down?" ”

"Oh, no need." Glancing at the inferior battering ram that was already very close to the city gate, Mo Wen replied lightly, and then walked in front of a big rock. "I'll just come!"

"Hey!" Mo Wen put his hands on the boulder, his face was red in an instant, and the blood vessels on his neck protruded...... He alone lifted the boulder, which required the combined efforts of a small group of soldiers.

[Sure enough...... The two-star physique is still not enough, and without the blessing of spiritual power, I guess I can't lift these six or seven hundred pounds. Mo Wen lifted the boulder above his head and smiled coldly at the frightened soldiers of the Yang Kingdom under the city.

"Let's take it!" Mo Wen roared and threw the boulder at the siege vehicle, easily smashing the wheels in front of the left side of the siege vehicle into pieces of wood.

But the siege vehicle still stopped moving, and the soldiers of Yang Guo who were hiding behind the car swarmed up and carried the sunken plank, and moved the huge thing to the city gate.

"Whew...... Call...... It was actually missed. Mo Wen took two heavy breaths and walked over to another boulder. [Let's see if you have any good luck just now!] 】

Just as Mo Wen lifted the second boulder, the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom had already pulled the giant tree hanging in mid-air to the rear, and then blasted it out heavily.

Boom!

The giant wood wrapped in metal skin left a shocking dent in the city gate, and at this moment, Mo Wen's boulder also smashed accurately into the center of the siege engine.

The stout giant log was broken in half, and the hemp rope that tied the log was also torn at all roots, and only one was left hanging from the end of the broken giant log, and the wooden chassis of the car was broken into countless pieces—it was evident that the thing was in ruins.

"Hint: You destroyed a crude siege engine and gained 200 generic points."

[Isn't it very valuable...... Overestimating the value of this thing. Mo Wen took a breath, glanced at the battlefield, and then picked up his bow and arrow again. [Meaningless consumption...... I'd better take the opportunity to make a little more money. 】

……

After a day of fierce battles, there were casualties on each other, and Mo Wen was accidentally shot in the left shoulder by a skimming archer, but the ordinary feather arrow could not penetrate his thick bronze armor at all...... This is not a game, if you don't break the defense, you don't break the defense, and there is no forced blood loss.

After the fight, Mo Wen returned to the camp tent and continued to cultivate with the snake gall, while Long Yang returned to Jiang Guo's secret room and continued his magic sword forging.

And in the middle of the night, hundreds of black shadows approached the city wall south of Jiang City.

……

People are inert, let alone Jiang Guo's group of unqualified soldiers? Even if Mo asked these guys to patrol at night to prevent Yang Jun from attacking at night...... But the guys still slacked off. The soldiers guarding the northern city are okay to say, after all, Yang Guo has been attacking this side in the past few days, but the patrols of the remaining three city walls are not very strict.

At midnight, more than a dozen copper hooks with ropes were thrown up from under the city, and the sharp triangular hooks bit the cracks between the bricks and stones of the city wall. Then, a row of black shadows climbed up along the rope, and the soldiers of Jiang Guo who were dozing off the edge of the city lost their lives in a daze.

It's just that the luck of these sneak attackers in Yang Guo is really a bit back, just when they were about to find a way to open the city gate and let the army outside the city come in, the soldiers of Jiang Guo who came to change shifts discovered this group of invaders, and then blew the horn hanging on his waist without hesitation - this thing was made of ox horns by order of Mo Wen, and distributed to every night watchman, and it was sounded with only one meaning......

"Enemy attack!"

……

By the time Mo Wen arrived on the city wall, the situation had been controlled, and a Jiang soldier was very brave enough to cut the ropes of those Yang soldiers climbing upwards with the attack of several weapons, although he could not help but be cut miserably, but how could the elite of Yang State, who had lost their backup, be the opponent of more and more Jiang soldiers?

"Report to the general, our army has lost three hundred and thirteen people, twelve are seriously wounded, and three are lightly wounded." The officer guarding the southern city lowered his head and reported the losses of this battle to Mo Wen.

"How many corpses did Yang Jun leave behind?" Mo Wen's face was gloomy.

“…… More than two hundred. ”

Boom!

Mo Wen punched the table and smashed the small table into pieces: "What did Lao Tzu tell you?" Mo Wen pointed at the officer and roared, "You said that you would fucking be careful with me at night, but what happened?" ”

"The hundred-and-ten men touched the city wall and almost made them open the gates...... You eat rice! ”

The officer's face was ugly, and he didn't say a word.

"I'm going to kill the enemy tomorrow...... I won't punish you, just give me credit for it, I understand no! Mo Wen took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his anger. If an enemy has five sticks and three hundred brothers have died, you should be punished with three hundred and thirteen sticks...... If you don't kill enough enemies in this war, you can wait to be beaten to death with a stick! ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

……

"Sir's clever plan has not worked...... It's a shame. King Yang, who got the news of the failure, sighed, and then looked at the glimpse sitting under him: "I wonder if Mr. still has a good idea?" ”

"There's nothing to be done in the next hour and a half." Glimpse shook his head: "Please wait a little longer, after I discuss with my companions, there will be a strategy to break the enemy." ”

"Then Gu will be Mr. Jinghou's good news."

……

"Which of you has a way?" Returning to the camp, Glimpse immediately gathered the Yang travelers who came with him: "The ladder and siege vehicle are useless, and the night attack has failed......"

"We just want to be part of this war, and we don't have to win." A traveler muttered.

"Then you just wait for the defeat of the Yang army, and then be chased and killed by the Jiang army!" Another traveler quipped. "Except for Big Brother Glimpse, who of us is sure to survive the chaos? I don't know what to do! ”

"You ......," the traveler's face turned red.

"Stop arguing! I ask you if there's a way, it's not here to quarrel. Glimpse shook the bowstring in displeasure, and the two fellows fell silent. A glimpse of a falcon-like gaze swept over everyone: "Do you have a better way to siege the city?" ”

"Ahem!" A middle-aged man coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "I wonder if you have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

Glimpse's eyes lit up.

……

Since the night attack, the Yang army stopped attacking Jiang Cheng again, and Mo Wen, who had gained a lot of time, took the opportunity to use that snake gall to cultivate.

[Although there is no advancement, there are still some gains.] Holding the snake gall in his hand with no spiritual energy in front of him, Mo Wen said to himself, "But this thing is useless at all." ”

Snake gallbladder with no aura: one star, you can eat it, and it can slightly improve the physical fitness of ordinary people, but you must be prepared for diarrhea. (To the average person, it's useless to eat, but to you it's worthless waste...... Well, if you want to lose weight or cheat people, it's still somewhat useful. ）

[It's time to train those big-headed soldiers again.] Mo Wen casually threw away the snake gall. [I still want to emphasize discipline...... I wonder when they will be considered elite? 】

[Yang Guo's bastards...... My gift is ready, I hope you will be satisfied. 】

……

Nearly half a month later, just when Mo Wen was training those soldiers of Jiang Guo, the army of Yang Guo once again opened a formation under Jiang Guocheng.

This time, King Yang did not send people to persuade him to surrender, but directly pushed their secret weapon to the front of the city......

[I'll go!] What is this? Do you have a heart? Mo Wen's eyes widened as he looked at the strangely shaped large equipment in Yang Guojun's array, and his heart ached.

[I didn't expect these guys to make this big killer too.] Mo Wen patted his forehead. [Although the production principle of this thing is extremely simple, the technology required is a bit high.] 】

[Everyone knows the principle of leverage...... But I didn't expect you to actually be able to drum out the catapult. Mo Wen looked at the row of trebuchets he supervised at the head of the city, took a deep breath, and ordered the soldiers to put the stones on it.

[Then let's see which side is smarter!] 】

……

[It seems that the traveler on the other side is not eating white rice?] Glimpses shielded the somewhat dazzling sunlight with his hands, observing the war equipment at the head of Jiang Guocheng. [It's a pity that you can't make a spring bracket, otherwise you should be able to blast open the city gate with a ballista arrow......]

"Sir, do you think that in this battle, can the warriors of my Yang Kingdom capture this city gate?" King Yang asked Glimps.

"There's less than a 30% chance of it." Glimpsa replied.

"Oh? Our army has the sharp weapons that the gentleman has provided, can't they still break down this little gate? ”

"Jiang Country also has extraordinary people......" Glimpse shook his head and pointed to the wall of Jiang Kingdom: "The king will know it at a glance." ”

……

Arrows are like flying locusts, and falling rocks are like rain...... For the first time, Mo Wen smelled war in this siege battle. In his opinion, the siege battles before Yang Guo and Jiang Guo were just children's fights.

Although the trebuchets at the head of Jiang Cheng City were small, because Mo Wen was going to launch stones that were slightly larger than human heads, coupled with their condescending position, their range was much farther than those big ones in Yang Guo. Many Yang soldiers were smashed with broken necks and broken bones, and their heads were bleeding - in this era of extremely poor medical conditions, this is almost enough to be sentenced to death.

However, the catapults on the Yang side did not eat rice, although they could not smash down the walls of Jiang State, but some of the Jiang soldiers died tragically under the flying boulder - although the number was not large, but this greatly affected the morale of the Jiang soldiers, because the death of the people who were killed by the boulder was extremely tragic, and the heavy taste of human meat sauce was not acceptable to ordinary people.

Compared to those who died directly, those who were hit by stones but did not die are even more pitiful. Mo Wen personally sent a guy whose lower body was smashed into meat sauce and went directly on the road......

Although he knew that this was the right thing to do, Mo Wen really hated this kind of behavior, because every time he helped his comrades to free himself, he would deeply feel his powerlessness.

Since there is no way to save suffering, death can only be given.

At the end of the day, Jiang Guo lost more than 300 people, but there were almost no minor or serious wounded; Yang Guo left nearly a thousand corpses, and many of the wounded returned to the barracks to await the verdict of fate.

In this battle, there was no winner.

……

"Although we have killed a lot of enemies, our army has suffered heavy casualties...... Yang Jun reported today's battle situation to King Yang with a solemn face: "If our army attacks day and night, we may be able to capture Jiangcheng...... But I'm afraid that Yang Guoerlang will not have one in ten. ”

"Sir, you also heard General Yang's words." King Yang rubbed his head. "I wonder if Mr. has a good plan?"

"There's another plan down there...... It's just that it takes a little longer, and if Jiang Guo is carefully detected, our army will be wasted on manpower and material resources. Glimpse replied with her head bowed.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

……

Yang Guo fell silent again after storming the city wall once, and Mo Wen also knew what the hell they were definitely trying to do, but his main purpose at this time was to defend the city, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

But the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, Mo Wen thinks so.

Until one day, an officer with a soldier reported to him that something was wrong.

……

"General, when I was patrolling the city tower today, I occasionally saw Yang Guo's army carrying hoes back and forth in the camp, and I came to report to the general." A young soldier who looked very literati reported to Mo Wen without humility or arrogance: "I think that Yang Jun wants to dig tunnels and attack the city. ”

[This temperament...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't belong to this era, and he also said that he can see Yang Guoying...... Do ordinary people have such good eyesight? Mo Wen, who was sitting on the couch, touched his chin. [It seems that he treats me as a drama **? ] Or are you testing my reaction? 】

[Forget it, don't think about it too much, those guys from Yang Guo actually came to this set, and they almost almost made me yin.] Mo Wen narrowed his eyes, and then asked, "Since you think they want to dig tunnels, there is a good plan?" ”

"The general can dig a big pit every three zhang under the city wall and bury it in the water tank, and then send people to take turns to listen by the tank." The young traveler confidently suggested, "If Yang Jun digs under the city, there will be movement in the tank." ”

"Is that possible?" Mo Wen pretended to be suspicious.

"Pledge your life under it!"

……

Ten days later, the soldiers of the Yang State who secretly ran out of the tunnel let go in despair, they had fallen into the siege of the Jiang soldiers, and the soldiers of the Yang State who took the opportunity to attack the city were also killed by Mo Wen's plan.

Jiang Guo's morale was high, and Mo Wen also "rewarded" the travelers who had made great contributions in this battle.

Some money and food of this era, Mo Wen also gave the traveler the eyes of the golden-scaled demon snake that he had killed.

[Will this guy take these two one-star eyeballs as a reward for the Traveler's House quest?] It was with this idea that Mo Wen handed the two snake eyes that were only ornamental to the traveler, and his wonderful face at that time Mo Wen still couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about it now.

After that, the traveler team on the opposite side came up with a lot of tricks, attacking the east and west, and attacking the city...... These guys even play tricks! Although the clumsy plan was seen through by the two of them at a glance, and Long Yang generously said that he had no suspicions, Mo Wen was furious.

[You bastards dare to slander my brother's reputation and say that my brother is a capricious villain?! Is it tolerable or unbearable! 】

With the mentality of giving those guys a little color, Mo Wen picked a night when the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom were slack, and brought two hundred people to give them a night attack...... Although it didn't kill many people, the fire in the granary was enough to make King Yang feel distressed for a long time. This is still because Yang Guo's military rations are not put together, otherwise this fire alone can force Yang Guo to temporarily withdraw his troops.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and King Yang returned to the capital of Yang early to deal with government affairs; And the food stored in Jiang Guocheng is getting less and less, but Mo Wen doesn't care about it anymore.

Because, there was news from Longyang: according to expectations, tomorrow, the magic sword will be released!
