258 Siege

Zhao Gongtang looked at the fortified city in front of him, it was obvious that the other party was expanding, and the city had not yet been repaired.

This can be seen from the temporary battlements in the city wall.

Many of the guards in front of the walls were not completed, but the guards were very smart.

They must have poured a lot of water from the top of the city wall overnight yesterday, and they poured it down overnight.

As a result, the water, in the extreme cold of the night, has already condensed into ice before it reaches the ground.

So under the city wall, three meters high, a whole wall of ice has been formed.

In such a situation, if you want to attack the city, it is bound to be very difficult.

Looking at the castle walls, there is a wall protruding forward on each side of the gate, ten meters wide.

These two walls are fortresses, in order to increase the attack area of the defenders.

Do not allow enemies to easily approach the city gates and the walls behind them.

If the enemy storms the gates, then from above these two walls, you can attack the enemy's flanks and backs.

So that the enemy simply can't concentrate on the siege.

Seeing such an architectural design, Zhao Gongtang also had to shout hello for the people who designed these two salients.

Such a design is very rare in the various cities of Yanyun Sixteen City.

Others may see such a design, and they will also scold the people who built the city for having nothing to do when they are full, and they will work hard and lose money.

But an old soldier like him could see at a glance the power of the person who designed the city wall.

And because the terrain of this Thousand Mountain City is very peculiar, it is connected to the valleys on both sides.

It can be said that the terrain is very difficult, and if you want to attack this city, you can only start from the front.

However, their frontal needs are very limited, which greatly increases the difficulty for the attacker.

If this is a frontal attack, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of casualties!

And at this time, Zhao Gongtang's nephew, Zhao Ziang, also saw the danger of this Thousand Mountain City.

"Uncle, this Gao Qiang is obviously using us as guns! If you really go to attack the city later, there will be too many casualties among the children, and it will not be worth it! ”

Zhao Gongtang glanced at his nephew, this guy is not very careful on weekdays, but this time it is rare to be sensible.

However, he smiled slightly: "Okay, although this city is tall and strong, the people who defend the city are all new people, and the heart of defending the city may not be resolute." ”

"We just want to fight with them with this ruthlessness, once their heart is scattered, then this city will not be able to hold even if it is high!"

"Although I don't like this second brother, his previous words won my heart."

"No matter how chaotic the world is, our families are all in the same spirit. What kind of thing is this Yang Yinuan? ”

"He is an outsider who blatantly occupies the Gao family's property, today we don't come out, so what if someone else comes to occupy our property tomorrow?"

Not to mention, this old guy's sense of lordship is still quite strong.

When Zhao Ziang heard this, he also fell silent, and then Zhao Gongtang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"And this second elder Gao also said that if we help him take Thousand Mountains City, then his daughter will be yours."

"As far as I know, this Gao Qiang has only one daughter, if you marry that Gao Yudie, then Tiecheng and Gaojiabao will be ours sooner or later!"

Good guy, it turns out that this guy's calculation is here!

When Zhao Ziang heard this, his eyes also lit up, and he had coveted Gao Yudie's beauty for a long time.

The reason why he made trouble at Mrs. Gao's birthday banquet last time was actually because he saw Gao Yudie and that Yang Yinuan with an ambiguous attitude before, which made him a little surprised.

Originally, his father intended to marry the Gao family, and the object of the marriage was this Gao Yudie.

As a result, who would have thought that at the birthday banquet, he was beaten by Yang Yinuan, and even peed his pants with an electric baton.

At that time, he was ashamed and returned to his hometown that night.

Unexpectedly, this time I actually waited for a chance to take revenge.

After listening to his uncle's words at this time, his mind also became firm, and he shifted his gaze to the city wall in front of him.

And at this time, Zhao Gongtang had already turned his head to Gao Qiang: "City Lord Gao, let's start!" ”

Gao Qiang's mouth was slightly bitter, he naturally knew what Zhao Gongtang meant.

Obviously, he asked him to send some people over first to test the firepower of Qianshan City as cannon fodder.

Fortunately, in the face of this situation, he was also prepared.

Soon in front of the Gao family's army, a team of more than 2,000 people was driven out.

More than 2,000 people are the original powerful families and family members of the Iron City.

It turned out that Gao Qiang originally wanted the people of the Duoyan Department to enter the city and clean up these wall grasses that day.

Unexpectedly, before the people of the Duoyan Department entered the city, they were broken by Yang Yinuan and the high-credit fire bull array outside.

At this time, these wall grasses in the city also rebelled.

Fortunately, Gao Qiang also made two preparations, and his cronies immediately led troops to suppress all these heroes.

In the past, he was reluctant to do anything to these people, not because he didn't have that strength.

It's just that he doesn't want to recite the name, and now that he has torn his face, he has no scruples.

That night, he wiped out more than 20 wealthy families in the city in one go.

Thousands of people were killed just by arresting and killing, and a large number of the families of these wealthy families were also captured.

This time he brought these men, whom he named the Beggars.

The instructions given to them are also very simple, if you want the family behind you to live, then give me the siege of the city.

If you don't die, after you go back, Master Gao will pardon your family.

If anyone does not obey the order, he will be killed on the spot.

Where did these people dare to resist, carrying all kinds of shoddy weapons, they rushed over with shouts.

Because it was winter, the moat in front of the city wall was already frozen, so these people crossed the moat with ease.

But before he could get close to the city wall, he heard a few rumblings, and then screamed again and again.

It turned out that he fell into a trap behind the moat, and hundreds of people were killed on the spot by the sharp stakes in the trap.

But the people in the back wanted to accept it at this time, but they couldn't accept it at all, because the overseers behind them were riding horses and holding bows and arrows to block behind.

Whoever dares to turn around will be shot on the spot.

These beggars could only rush forward, and finally rushed to a distance of a hundred meters from the city wall.

And at this moment, behind the arrow battlements of the originally silent city wall, countless people suddenly poured out.

The ant soldiers began to draw their bows and arrows towards the city wall, and for a while, the arrows rained down at the head of the city.

The beggar army under the city was full of casualties, but at this time they still attacked and did not retreat.

When they finally reached a distance of a few meters from the wall, they took out a clay pot from their bodies and lit it, and then threw it towards the ice on the wall......
