The city wall was brightly lit, and the night of Yanguo at the end of February was still a little cold, and the defenders on the city tower were constantly patrolling back and forth with torches.

"Captain, why do you say they are coming to fight us!" A patrolling soldier asks his captain as he patrols.

"How do I know, I need to know that I'm not a captain anymore!"

"You said we could beat them, didn't!"

As soon as the words fell, the captain's eyes stared directly at the soldier, and the meaning in his eyes was that your mind was very dangerous, but when he thought that this guy had been with him for several years, he sighed: "Don't ask this kind of question in the future, be careful that the general hears it, and cut off your head!" ”

Hearing the captain's words, the soldier shrank his head, stuck out his tongue and said, "This ghost weather is really cold!" ”

"Keep patrolling!"

After a brief exchange, the patrol continued, and only some soldiers could be seen on the castle tower, and many more soldiers were hiding behind the walls and resting.

About five kilometers away from the city wall, General Zhang and General Yu with more than 1,000 people, stopped, these more than 1,000 people did not directly swagger over, but prepared a lot of simple trebuchets, laid a layer of iron sheets, below there are soldiers using simple physical principles to jack up the trebuchet, after arriving at the location, and then use the bracket to support, there is enough space below for soldiers to dig soil.

Looking up at the sky, it was already the second half of the night, and General Zhang waved his hand and motioned for his men to move on.

General Zhang Yu swaggered to the outside of the city wall, the patrolling defenders soon found the traces, stretched out their heads to check carefully, when they saw the banner of the Great Jin, they were frightened and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

Then the entire city wall immediately became lively, and the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who were hiding behind the city wall to rest got up sleepily, and the guards who were resting in the city tower also got up one after another, rushed out with their weapons, and stood in the middle of the city wall to observe the situation outside.

"How can there be an enemy attack!"

"General, I, I found traces of enemy troops outside the city!" 、

"Throw torches for lighting!"

"Whoa!"

Immediately, several soldiers raised the torches, and then threw them vigorously outside the city, and the torches turned in the air a few times and fell to the ground, shining on the soldiers and horses of General Zhang and others who were advancing.

"Prepare for battle, come, go and tell the general that the enemy is attacking from the city walls!"

The guards did not panic, they commanded in an orderly manner, and the defenders also calmed down after seeing that the guards were calm.

"General, do you want to shoot arrows?"

"Don't use it for the time being, let people guard the city gates, and be careful that there is a combination of inside and outside!"

"Yes!"

The guards patrolled back and forth on the towers, constantly reminding the defenders of where there were problems and where they needed to fill the gaps, and soon all the soldiers were in position, bows and arrows, ready to fight back.

But outside the city, General Zhang and General Yu and others stopped outside the range of bows and arrows, and no longer moved forward, and the soldiers all hid behind the trebuchets and began to approach the city wall.

"General, the siege has begun!"

After a soldier saw the shadow of the trebuchet, he shouted loudly, and after this sentence came out immediately, two soldiers did not hold back, and directly let go of their tight hands, and several arrows shot out of their hands and flew to the trebuchet below, and these soldiers shot arrows, and the buzzing sound of the bowstring was like a signal to enter the palace, and the defenders of Yan Kingdom on the city wall almost unanimously let go of their hands, and the arrow rain fell from the sky.

"Damn! Who put the arrows! ”

After the guard saw it, he immediately roared, at this time he also saw the situation below, one after another trebuchet appeared outside the city wall, quickly approaching the city wall, at this time it is no longer a question of who shot the arrow, but to repel the attack of the Han people as soon as possible!

"Listen to me, shoot, release!"

The defender knew very well that the arrows against the trebuchet would have no effect at all, and the main threat should be the soldiers from behind the trebuchet, so he did not hesitate to order the projectile in order to kill the enemy behind the trebuchet.

"Rolling stones, rolling wood ready!"

The guard shouted with a big knife in his hand, and immediately someone moved the stone and the rolling wood from behind, and at this time the trebuchet had rushed to the position below the city wall, and the soldiers in the trebuchet immediately jacked the trebuchet with a bracket, and the soldiers below began to dig the earth, and the movements were very fast, these soldiers had been trained for half an hour before, and they were very dexterous.

On the city tower, after the rolling logs and rolling stones are ready, the defenders will not hesitate to order to throw stones and rolling logs, after the enemy approaches the city wall, there will be siege ladders behind the city wall to hook the city wall, and then there are soldiers constantly climbing up from below, the guards feel that their broadswords have been hungry and thirsty, as long as the enemy dares to climb the wall, they will cut off all their heads.

Rolling wood, rolling stones fell from above, smashed the trebuchet, if it was just an ordinary wooden trebuchet, it was easy to be smashed by rolling wood and rolling stones, but these trebuchets were specially made, there were iron plates and other things in them, after rolling up, just let the trebuchet make a crashing sound above the trebuchet, and the soldiers behind him did not suffer any damage, and after making sure that they were okay, they continued to start firing stones.

As time passed, rolling logs and other things fell from the walls from time to time, but the trebuchet was unaffected.

At this time, in the general's mansion in the capital of Yanguo, the general who defended the city had just fallen asleep, during this time he ran from the new city to the royal capital, and then rushed back to the new city from the royal capital, all the way to the road, the whole person was very tired, there were strong enemies outside, the general of the city was very clear, he could not fall, as long as he did not fall, the new city could be defended!

"Report, general, the Great Jin army has launched an attack from the city wall!"

Not long after closing his eyes, the general defending the city heard the report of his subordinates winning a great victory outside the door, instantly sobered up, and got up from the bed.

"Someone, wearing armor, notify the remaining generals, follow me to the city wall to check!"

"Yes!"

Soon the soldiers brought in the armor of the defending general and began to put the armor on the defending general, and the herald quickly rushed to the homes of other generals.

Half an hour later, the general defending the city came to the gate of the city wall with a group of generals and reinforcements: "How is the situation?" ”

There was tiredness in the eyes of the generals defending the city, but when they came to the city wall gate, they didn't hear the shouting of killing, and they thought that the Great Jin army had retreated.

"General, the trebuchets of the Han people are still under the city, and they are not attacking anymore, they are motionless, and they don't know what they are doing!"

Hearing the words of the guard, the general of the city guard looked down, and immediately someone threw down a torch, and with the help of the torch, he could see that there were some trebuchets scattered below, clinging to the city wall.

"Other than that, didn't the Great Jin Army attack the city?"

The guard shook his head: "Not now." ”

After hearing this, the general defending the city frowned: "Strange, what is the Great Jin Army going to do?" ”

After taking a closer look at the trebuchet below, the general defending the city seemed to hear a strange sound, turned his ears and listened for a while, frowning: "There seems to be some strange sound, did you hear it?" ”

Several generals listened sideways, and finally shook their heads: "I didn't hear it!" ”

"Didn't you hear that?"

The general defending the city listened for a while as if he had heard something, and immediately spoke: "Let everyone be quiet!" ”

"Yes!"

"All silent!"

Soon there was no sound on the city wall, and at this time, the rustling sound of digging the city wall under the city kept coming, and the surrounding generals heard it clearly, and many generals immediately understood what was happening.

"The Great Jin Army is digging tunnels, and if you want to dig a passage, you can drill directly into the city!"

Hearing the words of the generals defending the city, all the generals were stunned for a moment, they didn't think of the problem here.

"What about the general? Do you want me to lead someone to kill the Great Jin army below now! ”

The general defending the city shook his head: "No, there must be an ambush in the Great Jin Army, if you open the city gate now, it will be in the hands of the Great Jin Army, there must be a large army waiting behind them, as long as the door is opened, the Great Army will immediately cover up!" ”

Hearing the words of the general guarding the city, everyone kept their mouths shut, but the general guarding the city thought for a moment: "But the city wall can't be opened, you can put a few soldiers from the other gate and sneak around to see if there is a large army behind!" ”

"You guys!"

"General!"

"Let's find out!"

"Yes!"

......

General Zhang and General Yu were sitting cross-legged on the ground, chatting without a word, and suddenly a soldier ran over from the side and reported cautiously: "General, just now there were a few spies from the Yan Kingdom to investigate the situation of our army!" ”

"Are you gone?"

"It's gone!"

"Well, I know, continue to be vigilant, and report something immediately!"

"Whoa!"

After watching the soldiers leave, General Yu's face showed a smile and looked at General Zhang: "It seems that the Yan people have discovered us, now there is no need to worry that the Yan people will jump over the wall and attack our trebuchet!" ”

Hearing General Yu's words, General Zhang nodded: "Indeed, the character of the general defending the city is suspicious, hahaha, but you can't let your guard down, let the cavalry get ready, and once the city gate is opened, pretend to take the city!" ”

"Hmm!"

Soon these spies came to the south of the city in a circle, and after matching the code and password, they sat on the hanging basket, and after entering the city, they rushed to the position of the city wall gate non-stop.

"General, we're back!"

Seeing the spies coming back, the general defending the city immediately greeted him: "How is the situation?" ”

The leader took a deep breath, calmed his violently beating heart, and said: "The general is like a god, as the general expected, less than five miles outside the city wall, the Great Jin army has a large army to hide, and there are many cavalry, as long as we open the city gate, they will immediately cover up and seize the city gate!" ”

"Sure enough!"
