The Tang army had many siege equipment, the most attractive of which were the towering ladders, tall nest carts, and tall catapults. Each of these three siege engines is tall and large.

The first to start was the catapult, I don't know how the Tang army did it, the throwing distance of the catapult has reached an astonishing four hundred steps. The catapults at the head of Xindu City could not attack the catapults of the Tang army at all, and could only be beaten passively.

When the catapult kept smashing the Xindu city wall, countless foot soldiers under the city wall with shields and various weapons spread over, pushing the tall ladders and nest carts like a tide and slowly approaching the Xindu city wall.

After reaching the range ......of the trebuchet, the trebuchet on the head of Xindu City began to exert its might, and the stones kept smashing at the Tang soldiers under the city, bringing a bloody storm.

Pang Jun wandered on the head of the northern city wall of Xindu, and kept giving orders, commanding the Ji soldiers to launch a counterattack. Then, he was caught by the raging fire in the distance, and there was a fire above a ladder near the city wall, black smoke billowing from it, and many soldiers faintly jumped down from the smoke. The black smoke was too thick, it was not something that wood or ordinary vegetable oil could burn at all, Pang Jun scolded secretly in his heart: What a loser, not long after the war started, he used stone grease, this stone grease is expensive, even if it is Xindu, there is not much.

"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a round stone smashed on the nearby wall battlement, and suddenly the bricks and stones flew wildly, and a Ji sergeant fell to the ground and screamed loudly.

Pang Jun turned his head to look, and saw that half of the soldier's face was full of flesh and blood, he stretched out his hand and trembled on the side of his face, but he didn't dare to press it, he just cared, "Ah! Ah......h

In the smoke and dust, slender black shadows swayed, and arrows flew in the air. The surrounding sergeants drew their arrows from the quiver, stretched their bows and arrows, and did not need to aim at all, just let the arrows go down with a "bang".

Soon, however, arrows flew up from under the walls. An archer of the Ji army was hit by an arrow in the chest, he threw away his bow and arrow, sat behind the battlement, reached out and grabbed the arrow and called.

Pang Jun pressed the handle of the ring head knife in his hand, dragged the armor with a "ding" sound, and walked to the city gate tower. In such a battle, force is almost useless, whether you die or not depends on luck, Pang Jun doesn't want to be there.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Yan was in the city gate tower, and Pang Jun saluted him and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, the Tang army's attack on the first day was so fierce, which is very unusual. The Tang army had complete siege equipment, and projected firepower such as bows and arrows, trebuchets and bed crossbows were smashed as if they didn't need money. The attack of the Tang army's infantry did not stop. This is too abnormal, Your Highness the Prince, how is the battle situation on the other three walls?"

The first day of the siege was so cruel that not only the soldiers of the Ji army, but also the generals and colonels of the Ji army were difficult to adapt. The Tang army came from the north, and the largest number of people gathered outside the valley gate of the north gate of Xindu. Outside the city, the catapults roared, the smoke and dust billowed out, but the crown prince Zhao Yan was still in charge of Gumen in person!

The generals and guards surrounding Zhao Yan and Pang Jun couldn't help coughing "cough, cough, cough ......" from time to time. The smoke from the stone throwing and the smoke from the burning of the stone grease were very choking.

The smell of burning stone fat, like the mixed stench of gasoline and asphalt burning, made Zhao Yi feel as if he was in a stable.

Although the people on the tower of the city gate were condescending, their vision was affected by the thick smoke, and they could not see the outside scene clearly. From time to time, scouts walked into the city gate tower, knelt on one knee to report the situation, and when the stones were thrown intensively, even the voice of speech could often be heard clearly, and the surrounding atmosphere was noisy and tense.

Pang Jun said in his heart: Although the offensive and defensive momentum of Xindu City is greater than the previous battle in Xiabo City, the reason is the same. The danger comes from the constant attrition of the defenders, which leads to a thin force; The real solution is reinforcements!

Now this battle has not been fought for long, although the Tang army is fierce, but Pang Jun is not too worried for the time being.

At this moment, suddenly a blood-stained military general rushed into the gatehouse of Gumen City! Everyone looked sideways, and the crown prince Zhao Yin was also attracted to attention.

Without waiting for Pang Jun to ask, the military general immediately spoke, "Oh no! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Middle East Gate has been breached!"

"What did you say?!" Zhao Yan was extremely agile, and he bounced up from the chair at once. Everyone in the city gate tower was immediately in an uproar, their faces changed, and even Pang Jun, who had just been distracted, was stunned.

Someone next to him asked, "It's less than three days, how can Xindu be breached?"

At this time, Pang Jun couldn't sit still, and said to Zhao Yan, "The situation is dangerous! The Tang army is overwhelming, and once they pour into the city, they will not be able to keep the letter! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the old minister personally led the troops and horses to reinforce, and he must recapture the Middle East Gate regardless of everything!"

"Good! The old general, go!" Zhao Yan said in an extremely sincere tone, "Once the old general goes, there will be a turnaround!"

"The old minister will do his best." After Pang Jun finished clasping his fists, he hurriedly ran out of the city gate tower.

Zhao Yan was still talking to the generals in the back, and was arranging more men and horses near Gumen to reinforce.

"Bang dang...... Bang Bang ......" Pang Jun ran down the city, and the heavy armor on his body collided with each other because of the vigorous exercise. As soon as the city gate is broken, the pace of the battle will suddenly increase, and every second will be deadly!

Pang Jun rushed down the city wall, turned over and jumped on his horse, and ran towards the east of the city at the fastest speed. Fortunately, the Holy Lord had ordered martial law throughout the city before the start of the war, and several streets in the city were blocked, and no civilians were allowed to enter, just to keep the avenues open at an emergency moment, so that troops could be quickly dispatched!

After galloping on horseback for a while, Pang Jun finally saw the footsteps lined up on the side of the street. Before he could reach the place, he shouted on his horse, "Zhao Song, take your cavalry with me to the Middle East Gate!" Li Tuan, lead the foot soldiers to run forward, and immediately mobilize to the Middle East Gate!"

"Order!"

Although Pang Jun has tried his best to reinforce as quickly as possible, it takes time to transfer troops after all! After a delay, for such a period of time, I don't know how many Tang troops have entered the city! The strength of the Tang army outside the city was as many as 200,000.

Pang Jun led the cavalry to the Middle East Gate first, and then heard the sound of killing in front of the sky, and when he got a little closer, he saw that the city gate of the Middle East Gate was wide open, and the soldiers and horses at the gate were surging and slaughtering. There were nearby defender reinforcements who arrived first without waiting for the order of the Chinese army.

The city gate was filled with smoke and dust, arrows were flying wildly, the bowstring of "Bang Bang ......" rang non-stop, the city gate was crowded, Pang Jun's cavalry could not go up for the time being, he saw a defender general shouting there, so he slapped his horse forward.

Pang Jun stopped the general, and asked with an angry face, "How can the Tang army break the door?"

The military general recognized Pang Jun, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "The last general has just arrived for a while, and it is said that due to the scarcity of Tang troops outside the Middle East Gate, the defenders of the Middle East Gate will not be arranged much. The defender took it lightly and was climbed up the ladder by the Tang army!

This Tang army was very fierce, taking advantage of our army's unpreparedness, and quickly climbed the main wall with a ladder, and the defenders on the city wall were defeated, so the Tang army rushed down the ramp over there, defeated the defenders from inside the city gate, and opened the city gate!"

Pang Jun listened to the general process, among which the defenders had resisted several times, but none of them were blocked, wouldn't this Tang army's offensive be like a bamboo?
