Three days later, Jiayuan City.

Outside the city, drums are beating, flags are flying, armor soldiers are like forests, chariots are flowing, and boulder carts are standing in a forest. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded Jiayuan City.

Outside the north gate, more than a dozen boulder cars were placed side by side, and other siege equipment, such as the cloud ladder well railing rushing car, etc., were also placed outside the north gate, and there was a great tendency to attack from the north gate.

Therefore, six of the boulder carts in Jiayuan City were erected at the north gate.

Outside the other three gates, although there is no siege machinery, it is careless, one gate is breached, and the entire city will be in danger.

After discussion, Tong Guanshan guarded the south gate, Xi Jian guarded the east gate, Dianjun guarded the west gate, and Ma Yun personally guarded the north gate.

At this time, there were 2,000 soldiers on the north gate wall, and the other three city gates each had 1,000 soldiers.

The remaining 2,000 soldiers, led by General Xu Shen, are ready to support the other sects at any time.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, the armor light opened to the sun, Ma Yun stood on the city wall, looking indifferently at the enemy army outside the city, Qin Ming and the madman stood not far behind him.

At this time, Ma Yun was full of emotion in his heart. Last time, Xiong'an Village successfully defended the attack of 5,000 troops with 300 soldiers. But defending a city is quite different.

The city has four gates and long walls, each of which has the potential to be a target for the enemy.

Although the city wall of Jiayuan City is eight zhang high, it is easy to climb the eight-zhang high city wall for siege equipment.

A ten-zhang high well fence was pushed over and stopped three hundred meters away.

"Listen to the people of the city, surrender now, you can avoid death, or when the city is broken, there will be no one left. The voices of those who shouted were like bells, and their voices were heard throughout the walls.

Ma Yun took a longbow and pulled the bowstring like a full moon. An arrow flew out, and the shouting in the well fence stopped abruptly.

"The city is under siege!" With the sound of a long horn, the military formation outside the city moved.

I saw that many large shields were lifted up a few zhang wide, and then those large shields were spliced together to form a giant shield ten zhang square, accompanied by neat slogans, the giant shield moved towards the city wall little by little.

"Damn, this is okay!" Ma Yun once thought that the enemy would rush forward with a big shield against the rain of arrows, but he didn't expect that this shield was too big.

From the city walls, it looks like a giant tortoise shell.

At the same time, those boulder carts and well railings were also pushed forward, and a big battle was about to break out.

Sure enough, the trumpets stopped, and the drums sounded.

The shield began to move forward rapidly, and the boulder cart began to fire, and the boulders roared and smashed against the city walls.

The strong walls of Jiayuan City are full of stone chips. The defenders of the city hid behind the wall, but they were not afraid of the boulders, but they could not show their heads and shoot back.

"X's. Fight back. "Although there are six boulder carts at the north gate, only four are placed at the north gate.

That's the disadvantage of defense, you don't know where the enemy is coming from, you can't concentrate a little bit on defense, and the besiegers can hit all the fire to attack one place.

The shield was so strong that when the boulder fell on it, it did not pierce it, but remained on it.

The giant shield came to the moat and stopped. Then I saw many sandbags thrown into the moat from the edge of the great shield.

"City Lord, this is to fill the river. Qin Ming said anxiously.

The moat of Jiayuan City is stagnant water, although it is three zhang wide, but if it is filled like this, it will be filled sooner or later.

It's just that the huge shield is so strong that the boulder cart can't do anything about it, let alone the bow and arrow.

The move to fill the river also surprised Ma Yun. It was thought that the enemy army would storm the city, climb over the moat, and climb the city walls.

Waiting for the enemy to cross the river is the best opportunity to counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the enemy army had such a strange trick, just the huge shield of ten zhang square, there were at least 2,000 soldiers below, and he only had 7,000 soldiers in the entire Jiayuan City.

The enemy was well prepared, and many soldiers used small shields to cover their backs and burrowed under the giant shields, and the sandbags were thrown into the river in a steady stream.

Ma Yun stood on the city wall like this, staring carefully at the giant shield. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he had a plan.

He found that although the giant shields were riveted together with those large shields, there were still gaps in the joints, and the boulders could not help if they fell up, but if they were fire oil or something, they could flow down the gaps.

Ma Yun gave an order, and many canisters of fire and oil flew out from the city wall, and landed on the giant shield, and after being ignited by the rocket, a raging fire ignited on the giant shield.

Immediately there was a commotion under the giant shield, and no more sandbags were thrown into the river. It was only as the oil burned out, the fire on the giant shield was extinguished, and sandbags began to be thrown into the river.

"Then let them fill it up!" Ma Yun frowned, the amount of fire oil was not much, so it was a bit wasteful to use it like this.

As the sandbags continued to be filled, a ten-zhang long moat was filled, and then the huge shield slowly receded, and the day passed.

Over the next two days, the giant shield went back and forth twice, filling two ten-zhang long moats.

And so three days passed, and thirty feet of moat was filled.

Seeing that the enemy was right in front of him but there was no way, Qin Ming hurriedly hit the city wall.

Seeing how resolute the enemy was in filling the river, Ma Yun transferred all the twelve boulder carts in the city to the north gate.

In Xiao Tiangang's military tent, Xiao Tiangang, monk Zheng, Wu Ling and others gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

"Big brother, it's been three days, and the thief army has nothing to do with our tortoiseshell shield, so they can only watch us fill the river. Shang Zheng laughed heartily.

"Seeing that this tortoiseshell shield is so wonderful, it is not in vain that we have taken great pains to transport them, each large shield weighs more than 1,000 catties, and dozens of carriages are used. Wu Ling was also smiling.

"Two virtuous brothers, the tortoiseshell shield can only reduce some casualties, but I'm afraid that the siege of the city will not be so easy. At that time, I will have to bother the two masters to make a move. Xiao Tiangang looked at the two black-robed men with a smile.

"In my opinion, filling the river in the past few days is a superfluous move, and my two brothers can directly lead people to knock down the city gate. The taller black-robed man said coldly.

That being said, it's better to be careful. A few more days of preparation, and the siege will be much more convenient. When the time comes, we will storm from the north gate, and the two of us will lead people to attack the west gate, and as long as we capture a city gate, this city will be breached. A trace of displeasure flashed across Xiao Tiangang's face.

"Sir, in order to transport the tortoiseshell shield, we have brought three months of grain and grass, and now the grain and grass are only enough for two months. Ding Jianjun reminded him.

"This matter has his own sense of proportion. What is the difference between two months of grain and grass and two years of grain and grass, is it really impossible to fight for two years? Hearing Xiao Tiangang's words, Ding Jianjun sneered and stopped talking.

"Seven days later, when the Baizhang River is filled, we will start attacking the city! Strive to conquer the city in one fell swoop!" Xiao Tiangang raised his wine glass, looked around at everyone, and drank it all.

After another seven days, under the cover of the tortoiseshell shield, the hundred-zhang-long moat at the north gate of Jiayuan City was filled, and then the tortoiseshell shield withdrew to the military formation.

Seeing this situation, Ma Yun knew that the enemy army was going to attack the city on a large scale.

"It's finally here!" Qin Ming raised his spear and pointed angrily at the city.

Ma Yun was also holding a spear at this time, staring out of the city.

This spear was found by him from the treasure of the city lord, and on the battlefield, it is still a long weapon with strong lethality.

An hour later, first the trumpets sounded, and soon the drums sounded.

The tortoiseshell shield slowly moved under the city wall and stopped twenty feet away.

The original square formation extended to both sides, gradually turning into a long formation five zhang wide and forty zhang long.

Then the long formation split up again and divided into eight small squares. Leave a few feet between each small formation.

The sound of the drums suddenly became rapid, and I saw that the military formation in the rear let out a neat shout, and a group of soldiers, holding round shields, or carrying ladders, or pushing ladder carts, or pushing well railing carts, rushed towards the city wall without fear of death.

On the side of Jiayuan City, a large number of soldiers also came out of the military tower, standing on the city wall, looking nervously at the army under the city.

At this moment, the boulder cart, which had been throwing stones, suddenly turned into a fire bomb.

The fire bombs fell on the city wall and immediately splattered, and even when they were hiding behind the city wall, many soldiers caught fire on them, and the city wall was suddenly in chaos.

Ma Yun immediately ordered the soldiers in ordinary military uniforms to hide back in the tower, and the soldiers in black iron armor and red flame armor held the city wall.

In this way, the lethality of the fire bomb is much lower.

At the same time, the twelve boulder carts concentrated at the north gate began to return fire, and the fire bullets mixed with stones flew towards the rushing enemy troops.

Every time a bullet hits the ground, it kills and injures one piece.

Helplessly, the battlefield is vast, there are many enemy troops, and whenever someone falls to the ground, someone from behind will rush up and continue to push the siege equipment forward.

On the side of Jiayuan City, under the attack of dense firebombs, thick smoke billowed from the city wall.

At a distance of 100 zhang, the enemy army quickly rushed under the city walls.

The enemy's boulder cart stopped attacking at this time, probably for fear of accidental injury.

The soldiers hiding in the tower hurried to the city wall and began to defend.

The ladder climbed the city wall, and the well railing, which was higher than the city wall, began to shoot.

A rushing car several feet long arrived in front of the city gate. The whole body of the rushing car is wrapped in iron sheets, and there is a square space below, where the soldiers hide and manipulate the rushing car, and the boulder rockets cannot be destroyed when they fall.

"Click!" Ignoring the drawbridge that had been pulled up, the rush slammed into the wooden drawbridge. Knock a big hole in one go.

"Boom!" the car slammed into the city gate, and the entire city gate shook and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Ma Yun hurriedly ordered someone to pour the oil on the fire, and the raging fire ignited, and the rushing car was blocked.

The tortoiseshell array, which had not moved, stood diagonally on the ground with a large shield, and a dense rain of arrows shot from behind.

It turned out that there were more than a thousand archers hidden under this shield, and thousands of arrows were fired, and the defenders on the city wall were all focused on the soldiers besieging the city, and they were caught off guard for a while, and suffered heavy casualties.

The enemy soldiers who were climbing the well fence were demoralized and shouted to climb up.

It's just that the siege of the city could not be so easy, although there was a bow and arrow cover, countless boulders fell from under the city walls, rolling and smashing the soldiers who had climbed halfway down.

The ladder leaning against the city wall was also knocked down.

The siege lasted for half an hour, and under the desperate counterattack of the defenders, not a single enemy army was allowed to climb the city wall, and finally retreated with corpses all over the ground.

The defenders on the city wall were also uncomfortable, the enemy arrows rained down, and they were shot at the slightest mistake, and after a defense, more than 300 people were killed and wounded, most of them were soldiers wearing ordinary military uniforms.

Those soldiers wearing black iron armor and red flame armor were barely harmed.

Now there are 200 Black Iron Armorers and 500 Red Flame Armorers in the city, and Ma Yun decided to organize them into two groups and take turns defending the city wall.

At the end of the first day of the offensive, a temporary calm was restored on the battlefield, but for both sides, this was only the beginning.

Xiao Tiangang stood on the ten-zhang high well railing and saw the situation on the battlefield clearly. "Let's just let you live one more day. A gloomy smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Tiangang's mouth.
