After the war, it was rare for both sides to have a few days to recuperate, the coalition side was able to passively choose to defend because of the loss of cavalry mobile troops, and Ye Qing was not ready and was seizing the time to prepare.

The entire Aoba Castle is in the middle of the pingzag, leaving only the gap in the south.

The art of war is cloudy, and there is one missing from the three. This is to give the city soldiers a way to survive and let the city be in chaos.

Although Ye Qing didn't know if such a method was effective in the desolate world, people cherish life, and leaving an escape channel should be able to play a certain role.

What Ye Jun had built before was only a temporary camp, but now Ye Qing is preparing to build a more stable camp, and it is also Ye Qing's plan to attack the city for a long time.

I saw the soldiers sweating like rain outside Aoba Castle, and soon a large military camp was set up outside the three city walls in the east, west, and north.

Each has a radius of several miles.

After the camp was built, it was some fortifications on the perimeter. Deer, trenches, traps and more.

By the time it was all done, it was already two days later. In the early morning of the third day, Ye Qing stood under his handsome flag, and stood on the stage with a height of more than ten zhang, looking in the direction of Qingye.

Here, it is about the same height as Aoba Castle.

At this moment, under the Shuai Banner, in addition to Ye Qing, there are three deputy captains and more than a dozen commanders.

"Good city defense, just this tall city wall is much stronger than Tsing Yi City, looking at the appearance of the coalition army, they are planning to defend the city to the death, and we are fighting for consumption. After observing for a while, Ye Qing turned back with a smile.

"No matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stop the attack of my hundreds of thousands of Qingyun troops. An lieutenant's face was still so eager to try, and he said to Ye Qing.

The lieutenant can already be regarded as a high-level figure in Ye Qingjun, after all, among the nearly one million troops in the entire Ye army, there are only a few who have really been named the captain, and the lieutenant usually only assists the lieutenant in handling military affairs, which seems to have little real power, but once the lieutenant leaves with something, the lieutenant is equivalent to a temporary commander, and the right is still not to be underestimated.

"Let's rest for a while. There is no rush for the time being. Ye Qing smiled and shook his head. After so many days of marching, coupled with the recent big battle, the physical exertion of the soldiers was somewhat severe.

In this way, the city will not be given the opportunity to rest and work. So, not in a hurry.

Besides, the main task of Ye Qing's army is actually to contain the 400,000 allied troops in the city, so that they will not be able to return to the defense in time, and give the other three armies time to attack the city.

Saying that the various equipment that Ye Qing is preparing to attack the city has not yet arrived, how can he attack now and lose his troops in vain?

Ye Qing stood on the platform for a while, and after giving the order to continue to rest. led everyone to get off the platform and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

However, Ye Qing was not allowed to wait for a long time, and on the second day, the logistics army escorted a full thousand trebuchets and forty well carts to the Ye army camp outside Yeqing Leaf City.

Although these trebuchets and well carts are under Ye Qing's creativity, as well as the physical reference of the holy book exchanged. It's been made as simple as possible. It can even be disassembled.

But the huge physical defect still exists.

In particular, the well car is as high as 20 zhang. If you push the well cart to the bottom of Aoba Castle, you can suppress the soldiers in the city from a high level to zero.

Just that huge, tall well car. The number of parts needed is innumerable. If it weren't for Ye Qing who had transferred a large part of the territory's transportation capacity for this war, he might still be on the way.

These siege engines are a formidable threat to any tall city. But for a city with cavalry, it is nothing.

Once you've installed it, the enemy will be able to step over it with a single charge. In addition, in the process of transportation, they have to face the blow of cavalry.

Therefore, you must be cautious during the transportation, fortunately, the cavalry strength of the coalition army is limited, and there is no extra ability to attack Ye Qing's baggage troops, which can be regarded as a kind of luck for Ye Qing.

In addition to these catapults and well carts, the baggage troops also brought countless stones. How many stones does a thousand catapults consume?

Not calculable. But anyway, it's too late for temporary mining on the battlefield. Therefore, Ye Qing also mined these stones while building the catapult.

As a cannonball in siege warfare. Countless shells. In about half a day, countless trucks transported these things back to the designated location.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Qing asked the craftsmen who came with the army to start assembling the well truck. When it comes to pretending, it's actually very simple. It's just section by section, piece by piece.

It's like a tall building from the ground, and at the bottom is the huge eight-wheeled iron chariot. And then there's the section on top, and it's a square thing.

At the top is a huge platform where dozens of archers can stand. There is also a ladder that can be used to get up and down.

And the most dazzling thing is that this well car is 20 zhang high, which is a few zhang higher than Xiangyang City. As long as more than ten well cars are pieced together, they can suppress Aoba Castle in height.

From the top down, shoot the opposing soldiers. What's more, the Ye army has a great advantage over the coalition army in terms of crossbow arrows.

......

Early morning.

The sky was still only dark, with only a little sunlight peeking out from the east. But the soldiers of Aoba Castle have already begun to change shifts.

Last night's night shift was replaced, and the non-commissioned officers on duty during the day were replaced.

Lao Qin is one of them. Aoba Castle is so big that it can be calculated in terms of length. Therefore, there are many soldiers like Lao Qin who are on duty during the day.

Lao Qin is an old pawn. He has been in the army for nearly 20 years, and has participated in countless battles, large and small, and can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles. Now it's in his thirties.

In this age, soldiers eat food. Hardly any of them ended well. Even if there are occasional outstanding, it is because they are illiterate, and they can only be a small general.

Because almost all the high-level military leaders are controlled by the big family, the probability that a commoner can become a nobleman is very small, and the Ye Qing family has also exchanged for the status of a nobleman through the ability of several generations, and Lao Qin, who is in his thirties, is also a captain.

However, Lao Qin felt that he was not bad. Compared to those who died in the war, he was lucky to be alive.

As a veteran, Lao Qin felt very happy to be alive.

"Brother, do you think we can win this war?" asked Lao Qin a soldier dressed as a captain who came up with Lao Qin.

This chief is also an old pawn, and in terms of status, he can be regarded as Lao Qin's deputy. He usually got along very well with Lao Qin, so he dared to tell Lao Qin about these taboos in the army.

"What nonsense. We have an army of 400,000, and with Aoba City defending a high castle like this, how can we be defeated. Don't look at his Qingyun army, known as more than 300,000. In fact, it's just a soft-legged shrimp, and it's useless. Lao Qin said a little unhappily.

"However, the result of the last battle was obviously wrong. We went out with an army of nearly 300,000 troops, and we did leave behind the corpses of 50,000 or 60,000 brothers before retreating to the city. This chief is not afraid of Lao Qin, and he is still worried.

Lao Qin's face suddenly fell, and he was about to scold him, telling him not to disturb the army's heart. But he heard an exclamation from the soldier next to him.

"What's that?"

"It's so high. ”

"It's huge. ”

The exclamations were endless. Lao Qin hurriedly dropped this chief, turned his head, and looked to the north. I saw that in the camp of the Ye army in the north, I don't know when more than ten cars drove out.

On the car, there were huge, tall, square objects. It seems to be a little higher than their walls. It's also definitely heavy.

Because Lao Qin took a closer look, he saw that there were countless people pulling and pushing the cart in all directions. While pulling, he shouted out rhythmically.

"One, two, three. Walk. ”

"One, two, three. Walk. ”

With a loud shout, the cars were slowly pushed towards Aoba Castle.

"What is this?" Just when everyone was stunned, even the self-proclaimed well-informed Lao Qin was full of surprise, he didn't know what Ye Jun was dragging at all, and he could only judge that it should be a siege machine based on experience, but he had never seen it.

The Flood World has its own siege equipment, but most of them are simple equipment such as ladders, and something as complex as a well car has hardly appeared in the last 10,000 years.

Just look at the soldiers who pushed it. There are so many, densely packed soldiers are pushing, and the road under their feet is still just paved.

"Quick, go and report to the general. The enemy army has more than a dozen unfamiliar large equipment to attack the city. That kind of equipment is still higher than our Aoba Castle. But Lao Qin quickly reacted, and with a terrible roar, he completely woke up the still sleepy Aoba City.

It's just dawn. Isn't it just when you are drowsy, but with Lao Qin's terrible roar, the entire Aoba City was alarmed.

Soon the officer guarding the door appeared, and after just one glance, the officer changed color. Without saying a word, I sent someone to report to the boss.

When Cheng Dan arrived with other high-ranking generals of the coalition forces, Ye Qing's well car was already only a few hundred meters away from Qingye City.

"This, Lord Commander has seen a lot of knowledge in his life, have you ever seen such a powerful object?" Many coalition generals were stunned when they saw the well cart more than twenty feet high. After a long time, a general who didn't believe his eyes turned his head and asked Cheng Dandao.

"I've never seen it. Cheng Dan's face was very heavy. He has been exposed to aristocratic education since he was a child, and he has traveled to several surrounding countries, but he has never seen such a majestic siege machine.

When Cheng Dan and the others turned pale. But suddenly I heard the sharp-eyed soldier shouting, "Look, what is that? ”
