Murong Shaozong deserves to be a famous general, and when the Northern Qi army came to Jinan City thirty miles away, it was already close to the evening Shen time, but he still seized the time to build the camp very strictly.

That night, a team of cavalry under Wang Ze's command thought that the Qi army had just arrived and would be relaxed, so he took advantage of the night to sneak attack, but the sneak attack failed and dozens of corpses were left behind, and nothing else was found.

Early the next morning, the morning glow reflected a large area of the sky red, like a large area of blood sprayed in the sky, and even the people on the ground were dyed with a layer of red light, all indicating that a bloody battle was about to begin.

"It looks like there will be heavy rain before noon today, I don't know if the Qi army will come to attack!" Yang Ku looked at the red morning glow and said to Wang Ze.

When the sky was 'Meng' and 'Meng' was bright, Yang Ku and Wang Ze came to the city to inspect the city defense equipment and appease the soldiers in the city, but it seems that the city soldiers have obviously been very confident in their own strength since they saw the Xianbei cavalry defeated and the whole army was wiped out that day.

Hearing Yang Ku's words, Wang Ze also looked at the morning glow of the eastern half of the sky, and then said: "Although it is more beneficial for us to defend the city with rain, but we must also prevent the Qi army from sneaking attack, I heard that the commander of the Qi army is the veteran Murong Shaozong, this person is a generation of famous generals, it is better to be more careful!" ”

Yang Ku also nodded solemnly and said: "Lang Jun's words are right, the old man has also heard that this person is strict in governing the army, known as a famous general, or be careful that this person steals the city on a rainy night." ”

At this time, Fan Wenzhong, who usually didn't talk much, spoke: "Lang Jun, two gentlemen, although most of the people in the city have fled now, I think we still have to beware of unscrupulous people and the army outside the city!" ”

Wang Ze looked at Fan Wenzhong, who usually spoke little, and smiled: "Wenzhong's words are quite in line with my opinion!" Fan Wenzhong smiled a little embarrassedly.

Saying that, Wang Ze said to Cheng Hu: "The second brother passed on that I will order Yan Xiaowu, Zhu Bofu, and Xu Zheng to command the White Wolf Battalion to patrol all parts of the city, but those who do not obey the order and violate our military regulations will be immediately killed!" ”

At this time, Wang Ze except for the two camps arranged on the mountain south of the city, which were garrisoned by Chu Honghang and Liu Zhong, the other troops had all withdrawn from the city and held on, of course, the cavalry was usually outside the city.

Although Jinan City is rich, it was originally more than 200,000 people at most, and now most of the people in the city have fled, and only 70,000 or 80,000 people are left in the city, so there are 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses under Wang Ze's command in the city, but it does not seem crowded.

In the past few days, according to the data observed in the surrounding cities, combined with the registration information of the people in the city when they fled, Yan Xiaowu and others have captured several batches of hidden piles of the Qi army hidden in the city, and there are even hundreds of 'elite' sharp dead soldiers hidden in a courtyard, just waiting for the Qi army to attack the city 'gate' when they attack the city.

Originally, this group of dead soldiers of Qi State was also 'very' well hidden, and most of the people in the city fled to their courtyard, which was also prepared in advance, but they hid in other places and did not come, and when the people in the city fled, they took advantage of the 'chaos' and 'chaos' to gather in batches to this courtyard.

But who knew that Wang Ze had such a hand, and the people in the city had to register when they fled, and then combined with the city wall and Wang Ze's treasure telescope to carefully observe all parts of the city, it didn't take long to find the traces of these dead soldiers of the Qi State who were hidden.

When the soldiers of the Qi army outside the city began to leave the camp after they were full of food, Wang Ze said incredulously: "Isn't it going to rain this day?" Do you want to attack the city? ”

Previously, Wang Ze discussed with Yang Ku and Pu Yangxun that there must be rain today, so the Qi army would either wait for the rain to stop tomorrow and attack the city, or it was likely to take advantage of the rain to attack on a rainy night.

But now the Qi army doesn't play like this with you, and people don't care whether it's raining or not, they just put up a dignified army to attack the city directly.

There is also a strong opposition in the camp of the Qi army on whether to attack the city today, especially the deputy marshal Gao Qian believes that there must be rain today, and attacking the city when it rains is very unfavorable to the Qi army.

First of all, the bows and arrows of the Qi army could not be used because of the rain, and the large equipment for the siege was inconvenient to transport, and because the rain caused the city wall to be slippery, the siege soldiers were very easy to fall from the ladder.

Moreover, when it rains, because the Qi army attacks from the back, the rain is very easy to enter the eyes of the besieging soldiers, resulting in blurred vision, which is not conducive to the battle.

There are a whole bunch of other objections.

However, Murong Shaozong, the military governor of the five states of Qiguang, still strongly demanded to attack today, believing that his own cavalry was scarce and less than 5,000, while the anti-thieves had tens of thousands of cavalry, and the enemy's cavalry would not be able to attack when it rained.

Of course, what is more important is that Murong Shaozong has many arrangements in the city, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to take Jinan City.

After all, Gao Qian is young and has little qualifications, and all the generals in the army agree with Murong Shaozong's proposition, Gao Qian said ruthlessly, if he is defeated, Murong Shaozong must be responsible.

Now that the decision has been made to attack the city, with the orders of the Grand Governor Murong Shaozong, the Qi army camp began to rotate like a 'fine' machine.

Groups of soldiers went out of the camp one by one according to the number of each battalion, and the large siege equipment transported from the water also began to be transported out, and the rams, shields, goose carts, and arrow towers slowly moved from the shore of Jishui to Jinan City in the sound of the trumpets of the soldiers.

"Hmph, it seems that the Qi army can go down to the city guarded by us in an instant!" Wang Ze stood on the city tower and looked at Qi Jun who was slowly approaching, and snorted coldly.

Because the spring near Jinan City is dense, there is still a moat outside the city that is not too narrow, and the Qi army must first fill in the moat if they want to attack the city.

More than 20 are as high as the city wall of Jinan, no, it is the arrow tower that is higher than the city wall of Jinan City, and slowly moved to the vicinity of Baizhang outside the city, and you can see from a distance that it is full of soldiers with strong bows.

Qin Lang, who was self-taught and professionally guarded the city, was inspecting the gold juice boiled in the cauldron at the head of the city one by one, which was made of human dung and horse manure plus arsenic and other poisonous 'medicines'.

As long as a person is splashed, the skin will open the 'flesh', even if it is just a little, it may be infected and die, it can really be said that it is an early 'sexual' weapon of mass destruction, the originator of biological and chemical weapons!

"Uncle Qin, why don't you use the 'bed' crossbow to 'shoot' the arrow tower opposite now?" Wang Ze saw that the arrow towers of the Qi army were already within the range of his own 'bed' crossbow 'shooting', and Qin Lang still didn't order 'shooting', so he was still there to inspect all kinds of tools for defending the city.

Qin Lang was inspecting the rolling wood on the city wall, this rolling wood was not finished by throwing down a piece of wood, the rolling wood was embedded with sharp iron cones, and the ends were fixed with ropes.

When the enemy army is attacking the city, you can knock down a group of people by throwing it down, and you can use ropes to pull the log back up the city wall and reuse it, which can be regarded as a sustainable concept.

As soon as Qin Lang heard Wang Ze's words, he smiled at him and said: "Xiao Langjun doesn't know, but if you attack the city, you will be as strong as a tiger, and when they attack the edge of the city, I will destroy these arrow towers and greatly damage the morale of the Qi army." ”

After listening to Qin Lang's words, Wang Ze knew the original way between attack and defense, and immediately said to Qin Lang: "I am young and ignorant, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people in this city will be 'handed over' to you, Uncle Qin!" ”

At this moment, only the drums outside the city were beaten, and the arrow tower outside the city began to move towards the city wall, and thousands of state and county soldiers began to charge forward with sacks of earth and stones on their backs under the cover of bows and arrows in the arrow tower.

Arrows also rained down on the city, and the soldiers of the Qi army were constantly 'shot' to the ground, but as time passed, a passage with a width of thirty zhang was gradually filled out.

At this time, the goose cart and hammer behind also moved towards the city 'gate' under the efforts of many soldiers, and the Qi army attacked the city.

The morning glow in the sky became more and more red like blood flowing on the ground, and the soldiers of the brigade rushed towards the city wall with a ladder high, although the robes around them kept falling, but no one retreated.

Murong Shaozong is worthy of being a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and these state and county soldiers have only been under his command for more than half a month before they become prohibited, if there is more time, I am afraid that Wang Ze will be tragic.

The first 'wave' attack has always been the most important, generally speaking, if the first 'wave' attack is blocked by the defenders, it can greatly increase the confidence of the defenders.

In charge of the siege of the city is Zhao Gui, a Han general from the town army under Murong Shaozong, although he was not promoted because of his poor background and can only be a partial general, but Zhao Gui has always been known for his bravery under Murong Shaozong.

With the ladders set up on the city wall, there are some iron hooks on them that can be fixed so that the defenders of the city can not easily push the ladders away, a large number of soldiers with weapons in hand under the command of the arrow tower behind them to climb the city.

The defenders of the city began to pour boiling gold juice below, and large groups of soldiers rolled down the ladder screaming, and some fell to their deaths but were stoned to death by the robes that fell from behind.

There are also some soldiers who are more brave, and after climbing the city wall, they stood still and occupied a small section of the city wall, and Murong Shaozong who saw the city also nodded again and again.

At this moment, Qin Lang urgently transferred the crossbow arrow battalion to concentrate on 'shooting' and killing all the Qi troops in this batch, and drove all the Qi troops in the city down, Zhao Gui, who was in command of the city, was furious, and immediately ordered the archers on the arrow tower to suppress the crossbow arrows in the city.

Just as the two sides were 'shooting' at each other, the heavy rain began to fall, because of the effect of the rain, the flames on the city were extinguished, and the golden juice also cooled.

The morale of the Qi army under the city was greatly boosted, and the sound of the Qi soldiers outside the city was even higher, although the Qi army's upward attack was very unfavorable, but now the gold juice in the city was no longer usable, and the rolling wood was also lost in most of it just now, and because the bows and arrows on the city could not be used after the rain.

What's more, there are dozens of arrow towers behind the Qi army, because there are bows and arrows on the roof to keep out the rain, and the Qi army that is besieging the city has great 'spirit' and military support, and the Qi army rushed up with a higher fighting spirit this time.

"I still don't believe that there is anyone who is not afraid of death!" Wang Ze looked at the Northern Qi soldiers who were not afraid of 'color', and thought to himself that it was really not good, and there was still a batch of gunpowder 'ammunition' bombs that could always beat the Qi army to death.

The most taboo thing when defending the city is one city and two masters, which can easily cause 'chaos' and 'chaos' of the command, so although Wang Ze really wanted the Northern Qi soldiers to taste the taste of iron watermelon, he finally held back!

Just when the second 'wave' Qi army attacked under the city wall, the 'bed' crossbow on the city wall finally 'shot', and one by one the crossbow arrows 'shot' to the arrow tower, and suddenly burst into flames.

Because he knew that there was rain today, Qin Lang had already prepared to protect the 'bed' crossbow from the rain, and as for the other crossbow arrows, he had to put them away at this time.

These bolts are rockets, covered with grease and ignited before 'shooting', and as soon as they are nailed to the arrow tower, a raging fire will ignite.

At this time, although it was raining, the arrow tower was erected, and many places were still dry, and the combustion effect of the grease suddenly burned the Qi army inside to cry and call for mother, and some Qi soldiers were still on fire when they escaped.

The goose cart was also partially ignited in the charge just now, and a hammer of wood was burning not far in front of the city gate, and not even the rain could extinguish it, making a 'pop' sound.

Seeing that his own arrow tower was destroyed, Zhao Gui slapped the shield beside him angrily, and was about to organize a third attack, but at this time, the Chinese army behind Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

"Why doesn't the Governor attack again? Although our soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they were only two to one compared to those in the city, and the casualties of the defenders in the city were not small! Zhao Gui was puzzled.

Generally speaking, if the strength of the two armies is the same, then the casualties of the besieging side are about five times that of the defending side, and it can be said that Murong Shaozong is still earning two for one now.

Murong Shaozong waved his hand to stop Zhao Gui's inquiry, and said to him: "Where the army attacks the city in one go, it will decline again, and then it will be exhausted!" If the attack is still unsuccessful, I am afraid that the soldiers will lose confidence, and besides, it will rain too much to attack the city, and the army will attack again tomorrow after the army is full! ”

Zhao Gui was puzzled and said: "Wouldn't the thief army in the city have time to make full preparations, which is very disadvantageous to our army!" ”

"Don't worry, I already have an internal response in the city, and I will definitely be able to take Jinan City under the internal and external attacks!" Murong Shaozong's 'chest' has a bamboo way.
