Chapter 975: The siege is white-hot

"Lao Jiu is right, this city wall can't hold on, if you let me see, according to the current level of their attack, at most there are three days left, maybe even three days can not last, at the beginning there was a very big disparity between the two sides, King Nanzhao can hold on to now, this is beyond a lot of expectations, you look at these people around them are like ants, they are all transporting all kinds of things into the barracks, which is slowly increasing the strength of King Zhennan, And how can the city have such ability? ”

Hu San pointed to the people under the hill and said, these people are the common people found by the king of Zhennan from the surroundings, the king of Nanzhao knows that the young and middle-aged people in the city are gathered, and the king of Zhennan also knows about this matter, but the people who live in the city are a minority after all, and the surrounding villages are the most people, and there are more resources, so if it is a war of attrition, the king of Nanzhao has no chance of winning at all.

"Look, look, the giant trees have been lifted up, it looks like this afternoon will be different from before."

Qian Ping has been holding a telescope to look in one direction, I don't know what he was looking at just now, and now everyone understands that a big wood about forty meters long and half a meter in diameter was lifted out, and when the battle was fought a few days ago, the king of Zhennan also had a similar big log, but unfortunately it was ignited at that time, so there was no way to hit the city gate.

Now I finally got another one from somewhere else, and there are a lot of shields in front of it to prevent the people on the city wall from pouring lamp oil on it, not to mention this kind of wood in Nanzhao, even in the entire territory of Datang, it is extremely lacking.

The three of them still remember the situation of the day, if they continued to hit the city gate, it was very likely that the city gate would be knocked open, and as a result, several barrels of lamp oil fell on the city wall, one of which was poured on the original log, and the archers on it shot down the arrows with fire, and the wood was on fire at that time, so there was no way to knock the city gate open, and today it seems that the old trick is going to be repeated again.

When the words of the three of them were finished, the drums on the side of the king of Zhennan sounded, these days have been scattered attacks on the city, and there has been no big scene, but even so, the city wall has already revealed a big crack in the mouth of the bowl, many places are already crumbling, the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, no matter what method the king of Nanzhao uses, there is no way to repair the city wall at this time.

The horn sounded, and the attack of the catapults was much more intensive than just now, although the attack of the catapults had not stopped, but sometimes only part of it was working, and the rest were resting, and now hundreds of catapults were working together.

The horn also sounded on the city wall, since there were more troops attacking below, then there were more people in charge of defending on the city wall, and many soldiers even dragged some young men under the city wall to push up, and now these young men also understood that the chance of surviving after going up was very small.

When they came on the first day, there must have been at least twenty or thirty thousand people here, but now there are only so many of them, not even half of the strongest moments, all the young men who were under the city walls at the beginning, and now even the old men in their fifties and the children of fifteen or sixteen, these people must also wait under the city walls, and when the young and strong people are dead, you people must also go up to help defend the city.

According to what His Royal Highness the King said, if the city is broken, the king of Zhennan will be angry with all the people in the city, and he will definitely kill all the people in the city, so at this time, he has to block the rebels outside the city with all his might.

And His Royal Highness the King also said that he has asked the army of the Tang Dynasty to help quell the rebellion, and now the army of the Tang Dynasty is already on the way, and it will be able to arrive in a few days, as long as we can hold on to the last moment, then the army outside the city will definitely be annihilated by the army of the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the King is willing to divide all the gold and silver treasures in the palace equally, so that the people under his command can live a prosperous life.

At the beginning, there were still many people who believed this lie, after all, many people thought about wealth and danger, according to His Royal Highness the King, as long as we can survive, the family will give thirty yuan at that time.

This is already a lot of money for ordinary people, but there are also some people who are extremely smart, they don't believe that they can still get this money alive, just look at the people who have died in the past few days, ten people can come back four people is more, that is still when the attack is not very strong, if it is a full-scale fight, it is estimated that these four people will not be able to come back.

Moreover, some people with good eyes have also observed that the city wall has been changing guards in the past few days, and today's army seems to have been transferred to the palace by His Royal Highness the King, and some people who went up again, even including some officials of the major yamen, these people do not have much combat effectiveness at all.

So the people below also understand that His Royal Highness the King is actually looking for a way back, once the city wall can't be defended, then His Royal Highness will definitely return to the palace immediately, and there are all kinds of defensive palace walls around Wang Gong, His Royal Highness the King can immediately hold on to it for a while, but how can the people in the city insist?

According to what His Royal Highness the King just advertised, once the city is breached, the King of Zhennan will definitely kill all of them, and you yourself run to the palace to continue waiting for the army of the Tang Dynasty, can we also follow in?

So in this case, many people on the city wall began to passively avoid the battle, often when the enemy attacked, they would find a place to hide themselves, if the army of the king of Zhennan came up by the ladder, these people would also casually wipe some blood on their bodies, and then find a place to play dead, as long as you hide far away from the war, it has little to do with you.

There were such things a few days ago, but they were very rare, and there were too many similar things these days, so the last time I climbed the city wall, I was almost taken down by the people of the king of Zhennan, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the king himself to take people to the top, I'm afraid the city wall has been replaced now.

It was at that time that His Royal Highness also saw that the people on the city wall could not hold on, no matter how many people were allowed to go up, the damage to the city wall was unavoidable.
