Although the Tang army under Wang Rong was looked down upon by Pang Jun, Wang Rong was able to force the Ji State to this point, and he obviously had a strong ability. What Pang Jun was most worried about was that Wang Rong commanded the Tang army to come up and build fortifications to besiege the city without saying a word, and then stubbornly attacked, what should I do?

Surrounded on all sides, using all kinds of heavy equipment to attack the city, plus long-range weapons to attack, the method is a little stupid, but there is almost no need for any strategy, the Tang army can make the Ji army tired to deal with, because now it seems that it is probably possible, he has completely sufficient troops!

What's more, there were many strong generals in the Tang army, such as Meng Song, Yuan Tiangang, and Song Wenbai, and every time the Ji army encountered them, they couldn't bargain, and they suffered a lot of losses, and even were wiped out.

At present, it is indeed possible to defend the city of Xindu, but the risk is also not small.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, and General Pang......

The three of them walked on the top of the city, and the voices of the generals and soldiers were heard everywhere.

Pang Jun glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, although he was only thirty years old, he was already handsome, and today he wore a regimental collar robe, covered with a layer of armor, and looked even more heroic.

Such a side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whether it is the Minister of State Lian Yan or Pang Jun, is the first time he has seen it.

The crown prince Zhao Yan stood in the wind and said loudly: "My father and the emperor have treated the soldiers well, and now that the enemy is present, I hope you will work hard and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"

The generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general will wait to serve to the death!" "The last general will bear a heavy responsibility, and I will ensure that my Ji country, the saint, the prince, etc. are safe......

The Minister of State Lian didn't say a word, only followed the crown prince Zhao Yan, and listened to the prince's morale every time he went...... Many generals said that they would defend Xindu and Jiguo.

Suddenly, the Prime Minister Lian felt a chill on his body!

remembers that when he had just escaped from Xiabo and returned to Xindu, Lian Yu was left alone by Zhao Huan, and instructed him to find a way to send Zhao Huan's youngest son, Zhao Ran, who was only three years old, out of Xindu. At that time, Lian Fang was in a hurry, so he didn't think much about it. Now he suddenly had a bold guess: in case the letter is captured, Zhao Huan, the emperor of Ji State, will always have a son left, and that is Zhao Ran, who was sent away by him!?

The Holy One also thinks that faith may be broken, right?

The more Lian Yan thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed correctly. Otherwise, Zhao Ran is a little kid who has to draw a map when he sleeps in bed, why did Zhao Huan send his personal guards to escort him out of the city?

Lian Yu glanced at the prince Zhao Yan and the white-haired Pang Jun not far in front of him, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings...... Maybe I'm really thinking too much.

"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which startled the distracted Lian Wei!

The generals persuaded one after another: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince beware, everyone go down to the city quickly, the trebuchet of the Tang Army has been launched!"

The crown prince Zhao Yan was fearless, and still insisted on patrolling the city wall. Lian Yu also secretly admired a little at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the East Palace all the year round, but after all, he is the eldest son of the Emperor of Ji, and the education he received since he was a child does not allow him to retreat at this time, and he is still a generous person of Yan Zhao in his bones, Ren Xia is strong, and the general battle can't scare him at all!

When Pang Jun looked at the camp of the army outside the city, he saw that a trebuchet in the sea of people was retreating, and the cannon just now should have been set off. This Tang army is also strange, and he will not let go of a cannon.

Wang Rong and the generals of other countries in the Central Plains, and even with Pang Jun's routine, are not the same thing at all. Wang Rong did not wave his troops to attack the city without brains, but dug a ditch. Early the next morning, Pang Jun did not hear what he thought was the war drum of the attack, but saw the construction scene in full swing.

I saw that the Tang sergeant had a shovel in his hand, and when he came to a position 100 steps away from the Xindu moat, he began to wave the shovel and dig a trench.

The Tang army fought steadily, repairing fortifications first for defense, and was not in a hurry to attack the city. Pang Jun originally planned to send the cavalry in the city to test and storm the fortifications just built by the Tang army, but was stopped by the Minister of State.

"Old general, the cavalry of the Tang Army is amazingly powerful, and they have not participated in the construction of fortifications, just to prevent our army from attacking out of the city. It is difficult to predict how much effect the old general will have when he sends troops at this time, but it is inevitable that he will lose his troops and lose his generals."

Listen to people's advice and eat well. Since the country is incorruptible

With such a conclusive statement, Pang Jun dispelled the idea of sending troops out of the city.

Although the soldiers could not leave the city, the catapults and bed crossbows on the head of the city could, and Pang Jun immediately ordered the catapults and bed crossbows to shoot at the Tang soldiers who were digging trenches. For a while, the whole city was "buzzing", and the city walls were suddenly filled with smoke and dust. On the foggy ground, countless bright lights flashed from time to time, like lightning in the clouds.

There were a large number of recruits among the Tang soldiers, and the veterans were promoted, and they urged the recruits to avoid the attack of the city, but there were still recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time, and they were afraid in their hearts, and they ran around, and they were hit on the head by the flying stones, and fell to the ground, and they could not die again. There were also recruits who were shot by the crossbow guns of the bed crossbows, pierced through the body and were nailed to the ground.

But the recruit did not die immediately, his miserable howl resounded in the ears of the Tang soldiers, irritating the eardrums and shaking their hearts.

However, there were veterans who pressed down, and no new recruits ran around desperately, wielding shovels and digging trenches quickly. Like a marmot, he quickly dug three trenches around Sindu. The trenches, one foot wide and half a foot deep, were filled with barbs, short spears, and sprinkled with poisoned thistles.

After a busy day, the Tang army returned to the camp like ants returning to the nest.

Wang Rong sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, listening to the reports of the generals, Li Sujie made a summary and said: "Grandpa, now that the armies have completed their tasks and the three trenches have been dug up, now we can attack the city boldly and with confidence."

Among the 200,000 men, Wang Rong left the Xiao cavalry and hussars behind and roamed around Xindu to prevent the Ji army in Xindu from attacking out of the city.

160,000 people are digging trenches, and the strength of the people is great, and the efficiency is extremely high. It took only one day to dig out the three trenches.

Wang Rong looked at the generals who were eager to try in the tent, waved his big hand, and said, "Tomorrow's siege of the city, regardless of the main attack and auxiliary attack, the Wuwei Army, the second division, the seventh division and the ninth division are all the main attack." new

"Whoa!"

Li Sujie, Yin He, Song Wenbai and Song Mingbu saluted excitedly. On the third day of the siege of Xindu, the crown prince Zhao Yan came to the city early, and at this time, the minister of state Lian Yu had other things to do, and only Pang Jun was by his side.

The two of them were surrounded by vigilant guards, and just when Zhao Yan was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking, one loud drum after another came.

Pang Jun walked quickly to the battlement, looked at the Tang army camp outside the city, and said to Zhao Yan, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Tang army has attacked the city!"
