A general stood up and said: "If the Jingzhou army wants to attack the city, it will choose the south gate, not only close to their camp, but also do not have to worry about being attacked on the back, the last general thinks that the defense of the south city wall should be strengthened, and 500 people are transferred from the north gate, 300 people are drawn from the east and west gates, and another 1,000 people are left to be responsible for patrolling the city, arresting and meticulous work, and preventing people from making trouble in the city!" ”

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general seconded it!"

Several generals came forward to express their approval.

Yang Jun thought for a while and agreed to this suggestion, and immediately ordered 500 people, 300 people, and 300 people from the north, east, and west gates to rush to the south city wall to participate in the defense, so that the defense force of the south city wall reached more than 2,000 people.

The next day, the sun rises.

Bursts of smoke and dust rose in the sky in the distance outside the southern city wall of Wancheng, shouting trumpets one after another, and countless people used thick cables to drag the fully loaded board carts, which were loaded with a large number of trebuchets, well railings, and parts of siege rams, and many people carried siege ladders.

All the 5,000 men and horses of the Ganning Army were dispatched, and in order to increase the momentum, he also incorporated the 5,000 young people he recruited into the army to scare people, and he still understood this adaptation.

The Cao army on the city wall couldn't help but get nervous one by one when they saw the Jingzhou army in such a posture, this momentum was too big, not to mention the number of these sergeants, there were tens of thousands of people just used.

Before Gan Ning could lead the army to arrive, Captain Cao on the city wall suggested to Yang Jun: "Taishou, the number of enemy troops is more than five times that of our army, for the sake of insurance, it is better to transfer some troops from the other three gates!" ”

Another lieutenant also said: "Yes, even if you don't use it for the time being, it's better than temporary transfer, take precautions, too guarded!" ”

Yang Jun thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Two hundred more people will be transferred from the east gate and the west gate, and five hundred people will be drawn from the one thousand people in the city, and the deployment of the north gate will remain unchanged!" ”

"Obey!"

The soldiers and horses have not yet been drawn, Gan Ning has led a large army to arrive outside the city, the headquarters of 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus 5,000 soldiers dressed as strong people, a total of more than 10,000 people, he ordered the more than 10,000 people to spread out, craftsmen began to assemble siege equipment, towering trebuchets were assembled.

The Jingzhou army was nervous and busy, and a captain with four knights drove a mule cart slowly towards the city wall, stopping a stone's throw away.

"Listen to the guard of Wancheng, Xiahou Shang's body has been delivered, and you will come down quickly to redeem it with the agreed money, and complete the delivery within one moment, and you will not wait for it!"

On the city wall, on the side of the battlement.

Yang Jun looked at it, turned his head and waved his hand.

Changshi Qin turned around and went down the city tower after giving up his hand, Soon, the city gate opened, and he took four knights and drove out of the city with a carriage with eight boxes on it.

The two sides met under the city, and the colonel sent by Gan Ning stepped forward to check the boxes, opened them one by one, and the gold cakes that reflected the golden luster were lying in the boxes.

On the other side, Qin Budo checked Xiahou Shang's body, there was no problem, the two sides exchanged mule carts and brought them back, and the transaction was completed.

On the city tower, Yang Jun saw that the transaction was completed, and then looked up at the Jingzhou army outside the city, but saw that Gan Ning had spread out all the 10,000 horses, many people in the front row were carrying siege ladders, and many craftsmen in the formation were assembling siege equipment, and said with a solemn expression: "The enemy army is going to attack the city on all fronts, and it is going to take Wancheng in one go!" Hurry up and urge, let the dispatched sergeant hurry up! ”

"No!"

Before Yang Jun could deploy the soldiers and horses in place, Gan Ning ordered the siege to begin, and it was really a siege on the whole line, and countless soldiers carried siege ladders and rushed to the city wall.

Gu Xuan

The attention of everyone in Wancheng City was drawn to the siege battle on this side of the southern city wall.

On the horizon north of Wancheng, I don't know when a black line appeared, and then, this black line became a black pressed army of soldiers and horses, which was a large army.

There were three towering wooden towers in the middle of the army, with a dozen wheels at the bottom of the towers, pulled by eight horses in front, and dozens of people around them pushing it forward.

At the rear of the well railing, there is a two-person wide staircase from top to bottom, where two sergeants can run side by side from the ground along the stairs directly to the top platform of the well railing, the bottom of the staircase reaches twelve meters long, while the well bar is twelve meters high, and the length of the staircase is close to seventeen meters.

There is also a movable wooden bridge under the platform at the top of the well railing, this wooden bridge is three meters long and two meters wide, when the well fence is pushed to the edge of the city wall, the sergeant on the top can push the wooden bridge out of the buckle on the city wall, and the sergeant on the platform can rush to the city wall through the wooden bridge. The staircase behind the wooden bridge could be used to continuously throw the sergeant to the city wall.

Just as the battle above and below the southern city wall was in full swing, the soldiers on the northern city wall were still playing in a mixed discipline, and even the guards were lying in the city tower and falling asleep.

A few of the sergeants had not slept well last night, leaning against the battlements and chatting and yawning.

A sergeant's eyes sensed an anomaly in the distance, turned his head to look, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"That's—that's ······"

"Look······ Go and call the captain, go and report to the captain! "A captain shouted.

"Oh, oh!" A soldier next to him agreed, turned around in a panic and ran towards the castle tower.

The lieutenant, who was sleeping in a daze, was originally very unhappy, but when he came out to see, he suddenly lost all sleep, ran to the wall battlements and wiped his eyes, and found that thousands of soldiers and horses came in front of him, including infantry, cavalry, and siege weapons.

"It's ······ Where's the Soldiers? Why didn't you play the flag? The lieutenant frowned and muttered, and immediately ordered: "Quickly ring the gong to warn!" ”

"No!"

Soon, a gong sounded on the city tower: "Dangdangdang······"

In an instant, all the soldiers on the city wall ran to the side of the city wall to be on guard, and the soldiers who were resting in rotation under the city tower also ran up the city wall with their weapons.

All 500 defenders were in place.

A soldier walked up to the captain and reported: "Captain, do you want to send someone to report to the Taishou?" ”

The captain said: "We don't know the identity of this group yet, how can we report to the Taishou, at least we need to find out where this group of soldiers and horses came from, and we need to find out if they are hostile before we can report it, right?" ”

The military Hou muttered in his heart, everyone came with siege equipment, do you still need to ask whether the other party is kind or hostile?

The captain has his own opinions, he guesses that it is impossible for the other party to attack the city at the beginning after the arrival, and there must be some preparations and deployments, and when the time comes, the two main generals will chat, don't you know the other party's intention and identity?

The captain's plan is very good, he still has five hundred people under him, even if there are more people from the other party, five hundred people can resist for a while, this time is enough to ask for help from Taishou.

It's a pity that this time Qin Feng didn't plan to play cards according to the routine at all, in the process of the team's march, he had already adjusted the formation of the military formation, and when he arrived outside the north gate of Wancheng, the siege formation had been completely opened.

He didn't stop at all, and directly ordered: "Siege!" ”
