When the enemy came to fight again, Du You'an, as the lord of the war, did not stay in the fort, but was still in Fancheng.

Du Youan led his troops to take advantage of the night to cut the camp and achieved great success, successfully defeating the enemy's front division. However, Fancheng, which was close to the end of the day, not only did not send troops to help the battle during the night attack, but when Du Youan led his troops to chase and kill the enemy army and returned, he saw that the defenders of Fancheng had actually entered the remnants of the enemy camp and collected the ordnance and staff left by the enemy.

Seeing that these people were openly robbing him of the fruits of his battle, Du Youan was angry, and even if he ordered the detention of those soldiers of the defenders of Fancheng who had not yet had time to withdraw, he personally entered the city to question the guard Liu Fanggui.

Although Liu Fanggui is higher than Du Youan in his position, Du Youan has many brothers and each holds a prominent position, and the entire Jingzhao Du clan is also deeply rooted in Xiangyang, so he naturally does not take Liu Fanggui in his eyes, let alone he is still in charge.

So after the meeting, Du Youan unscrupulously questioned Liu Fanggui, and Liu Fanggui could only apologize with a smile, and excused himself from the fact that this was all his subordinates' own assertions, and he would definitely give him a satisfactory answer after finding out the responsibility.

Du You'an has lived in Xiangyang since he was a child, and he knows the official customs and folk customs here, of course, he will not be easily overtaken by Liu Fanggui, and he still forces Liu Fanggui to give a conclusive answer, how can the personnel be relieved, but the looted ordnance and war trophies and the consumption of other troops in the war, Liu Fanggui must return and replenish them as soon as possible.

Speaking of this question, Liu Fanggui no longer nodded blindly as before, and looked at him left and right, but he refused to give Du Youan an an accurate answer.

While the two were still entangled here, the enemy news came again, and the enemy army had already set up an offensive against Xia Zhen.

Du Youan's face changed after hearing this, and he first glared at Liu Fanggui, who was extremely slippery, before standing up and leaving angrily and leaving a cruel sentence: "When I return again, it will not be like this!"

Liu Fanggui watched Du Youan leave, but even put away the smile on his face, put on iron armor and climbed to the top of the city to watch the enemy.

Although the open space outside the fortress north of the Han River had been controlled by the Western Wei cavalry, there was still a boat connection between Fancheng and Xiazhushu, so Du Youan was able to return to the fort by boat, and the enemy did not attack the fort.

This couldn't help but make him secretly relieved, although the enemy re-arrived faster than he had imagined, but last night's camp was not without effect. Not to mention the actual damage, it obviously made the enemies in the back more cautious, no longer just appearing like yesterday and directly rushing directly at those smaller forts.

However, Du Youan soon noticed that the enemy's behavior was a little strange, and it seemed that he did not return to the fort before the enemy attacked, but that the enemy was not preparing to attack the fort at all.

Rather than attacking in formation, the enemy wandered outside the city in search of what appeared to be a survey and observation, and after selecting a few locations, they began to build equipment out of thick logs.

"The thief is building a cannon?"

The reason why I can't be sure is because this distance is a bit far from the usual stone cannon, but apart from this possibility, Du Youan can't think of anything else, whether the enemy wants to use stone artillery to attack the city or not, it is always right to make some arrangements in advance.

So under Du You'an's order, the defenders began to hang thick felt, fishing nets and other objects from the city, and then wet them with river water, with these heavy things covering the outside of the city wall, which is equivalent to putting a protective cover on the city wall, which can greatly offset the impact of artillery.

When the fortifications in the fort have been increased, one of the enemy's siege guns has been erected, and the other is slower, and the guns have not yet been installed.

Due to the thick curtain around the base of the cannon, the defenders could not see whether the cannon was operated by human or animal power, so it was impossible to estimate its power. But seeing that the stones selected by the enemy soldiers from the river embankment were not small, they also became nervous.

Peng!

There was a bang outside the city, the sound of a stone cannon, and the defenders of the city bent down to find cover nearby, and at the same time couldn't help but look up at the location of the stone.

Plop one

There was a loud bang, and the defenders trembled when they heard the sound, but soon found that the stone cannon did not hit the walls of the fort, but fell directly into the river behind the fort.

After a false alarm, the defenders who felt that the error of the enemy's stone artillery was so large burst into laughter, and some of them even shouted and mocked directly outside the city: "The thieves don't know how to manipulate the siege artillery, so it's ridiculous to show off their clumsy skills here!"

But Du You'an glanced back at the landing point of the cannon on the river and the ripples of the waves on the river surface, but his brows were tightly furrowed, the range of this stone cannon was a little excessive.

At this distance, their fortress could only withstand the bombardment, but it was difficult for them to make any kind of counterattack, and even the communication waterway between Fancheng was covered by this stone cannon!

After realizing this, Du Youxin suddenly regretted it, regretting that he shouldn't have treated Fancheng guard Liu Fanggui so badly before.

Although he had already offended people, after realizing that the situation was dangerous, Du Youan still stubbornly ordered his soldiers to raise a flag for help in the direction of Fancheng, hoping that Fancheng could send an infantry cavalry army to attack the enemy army and destroy these two siege guns with super range and power.

At this time, the guards in the fort had not yet realized the real danger, and they still laughed at the thieves with inferior technical means, and with a roar, the enemy's second stone cannon had also been installed and urged, and the second cannon drew a parabola in mid-air, and smashed directly into the fort with a loud rumbling sound.

This cannon directly shocked the defenders in the fort so that they couldn't speak anymore, the cannon stone directly hit and smashed through a building, and after it landed, it also sank into the ground for a few minutes, as fast as a thunderbolt, and the power was equally strong!

While the defenders in the fort were still stunned, Li Tai ordered a cavalry unit that had been waiting for a long time to attack the fort, walked around the fort, and shot with his bow. Although the damage caused was limited, it added pressure on the enemy to be attacked in a wave.

As the stone cannon continued to adjust the angle, all parts of the fort were bombarded by stone bullets, and many buildings were destroyed, making the soldiers and civilians in the fort like ants on a hot pot, constantly fleeing and wandering around the fort, neither daring to stay in the building anymore, nor daring to stand directly in the open air, some of them were panicked and timid, and they directly hugged their heads and cried.

The head of the fort city is also not stable, Du Youan is still shouting hoarsely to organize the soldiers to counterattack, but the soldiers on the head of the city have already been in chaos, except for some henchmen Qu soldiers who are still obeying his orders to use bows and crossbows to counterattack the enemy's rangers, the rest of the people have long been completely warless.

As for the direction of Fancheng, there was no movement at all, and there was no intention of coming for reinforcements. Liu Fanggui didn't seem to see the banner for help that Du You'an ordered the people to play, not only did he not show any signs of going out of the city to fight, but there was no sign of mobilization at the dock outside the water gate, and he was completely on the sidelines.

"Dog thief, dog thief!"

Du Youan roared angrily in the direction of Fancheng, if it weren't for his involuntariness, he would have rushed into Fancheng at this moment and slashed Liu Fanggui, a fool who didn't understand the truth of death at all.

However, the anger did not help to improve the situation, and as the enemy cannons continued to adjust their angles, the landing points of the cannons continued to move towards the city walls.

When the next cannon roared, Du Youan only felt a shock under his feet, and even saw the earth and stones splashing on the wall, and a section of the female wall was directly crushed after being hit by the artillery.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Surrender, begging the enemy to spare his life.

The gate of the fort opened, and several of the defenders came out with their armor untied, and soon after walking out of the gate, they knelt directly on the ground, begging for mercy with a loud voice.

Li Tai raised his hand to signal a halt to the offensive, and then ordered all the defenders in the city to march out and line up in front of the fort gate.

Seeing that the number of soldiers who had surrendered had reached 1,000, and that the guards had been surrounded by his subordinates, Li Taicai waved his hand and signaled a group of men and horses to enter the city to clear and receive them, while he stayed in the formation, waiting for the generals to be escorted in.

"Sinner Du Youan, meet the general. The former blatantly refused to be a teacher, insulting the military prestige, all because he was favored by the Great Liang and could not bear to abandon the country to vote for him, but now he is abandoned by the boss and the lord, although the sinners hate themselves, but they can't bear to be ghosts all over the city, and beg the general to be lenient and take him in......

Du Youan approached the front, did not dare to look up at Li Tai, knelt on the ground and said sadly, his tone can be described as sincere and sad. The huge gap in chance naturally filled his heart with a sense of humiliation, and this sense of humiliation soon turned into hatred, and all of them gathered on Liu Fanggui, who turned a blind eye to his request for help.

Li Tai didn't immediately deal with this Du You'an, but turned his head to look at Du Zhaohui and Chen Yuchen in the army behind him, and said with a smile: "You two quickly return to attract the rear army, relay what you have seen and tell the people in the back that if you dare to wander again, you will be punished by military law!"

"The last general commands!"

After hearing this, the two hurriedly bowed in response, and looked at Li Tai with more reverence than before, and Chen Yuchen couldn't help but say after receiving the order: "It is really admirable to make the king use soldiers like gods and break the strength like a sword!" The last will have the honor of serving under the command of the king, and I am willing to be a pioneer minions!"
