This is really a lion's big mouth, and he can't talk about it sincerely, and there is not much room for counter-offers.

Blackheart's sob.

Provide him with siege equipment, ten heads are not enough to cut off.

But the silent sip represents the Turks, and as an outsider, it can play a big role now.

Song Yan was very calm, he had passed through the army, and assisted Wu Sansi in dealing with many major affairs of the court and government, and he was not flustered at all in front of Mo Si.

"Khan can think about it again, if I don't complete the task of the prime minister, I can't make a difference, so how about staying with Khan and giving you advice?"

Stayed, you can talk slowly, he believes that Mo Si will definitely compromise.

Mo Si nodded in agreement, Song Yan was calm and composed, and his intentions were not harmless to him.

Attacking the city requires three times the strength of the city, and the Turkic warriors can't fill the hole here, and he will never attack the city.

Of course, Song Yan also knew that he would never attack the city.

Wu Sansi's sincerity is obviously not enough.

In Wu Sansi's opinion, the Turks came here to harass the border, invade the weak points of the army, and hit a nail, and they would definitely not refuse his friendship, but he still underestimated Mo Si's greed.

Living water can only be cut off, not poisoned. Because the current of water from the top to the smallest, from the inland to the ocean, is in motion. The amount of water is huge, and the poison will be slowly diluted. It may even endanger itself, for example, the hunted game has just drunk the water, and the aftermath is endless.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's actions also have a great impact on the battle situation.

The water source in Zhaozhou is open, and both morale and physical strength in the city will inevitably improve a lot.

Li Quan received the news of the Turkic attack on the camp at night, and hesitated to go out of the city to support, but in the end, his trust in Zhang Yang and his responsibility to the people of Zhaozhou still made him make the decision to close the city and not leave. Soon he heard the ecstatic voices of his subordinates, telling him that the water was flowing.

Zhaozhou City beat gongs and drums to announce that reinforcements were coming, and soon the army and the people were united.

On the second day, Mo Si led the warriors to the Zhaozhou River to call for battle.

Zhang Yang laid traps around the camp tent, ignoring the insults of the Turks, and the soldiers trained wholeheartedly.

The pitfalls are obvious and complex.

Behind the camp is water, and on the left are all kinds of traps, traps, bamboo guns, and horse pits. Thousands of troops and horses filled the soil pit, I'm afraid they can only pass, I really don't know if this group of people has been working all night, doing trap engineering.

A trench had been dug on the right, water had been introduced into the pit, and the open space in the middle was divided into patches, covered with iron nails and broken blades, and the ground was densely packed.

There is only a path in front of the camp that allows one person to pass.

The camp is surrounded by a mound of earth more than a meter high, like the walls of a dwarven country.

There were many rows of soldiers with bows and arrows standing behind a one-meter-high earthen circle.

Zhang Yang trapped his troops in a place with his back to the water, and although it seemed safe, if there were trebuchets, they would be easily surrounded and annihilated, and there was no need to enter the camp at all. After a long time, they were unable to get supplies by land.

Mo Si ordered people to hold shields to clear the traps, and on the other hand, he brought in the siege heavy weapons catapults, intending to teach the people inside a lesson.

The catapults began to attack the camp frantically, and from time to time there were screams of "ahhh

However, the number of people who set up the bow has not decreased, and the speed of clearing the traps is very slow, and there are hidden arrows from time to time.

Mo Si also wanted to surround the earthen wall for a week, how convenient it would be if there were traps on the wall.

The catapult hit a lot of stones and entered the camp of Zhangyang, and the soldiers changed wave after wave, but they still did not know the results. If trebuchets have caused them serious trouble, shouldn't they break through?

Silent Sip is still waiting to see how they get through the trap they have set up.

The soldiers who lined up the traps were on fire, and if they formed a line with shields for the horses to pass through, there was no need to remove these traps.

As for filling the earth, those sharpshooters from all sides will not give them this opportunity.

Whether it is the Great Zhou or the Turks, iron is an important wealth of a country, and the use of shields to pave a way must be consulted by the Khan.

Song Yan masked his face and also looked at Tucheng in front of him. After a morning of blind fighting, I don't know how many people I killed, could it be an empty city plan?

Mo Si didn't want to know, he was very distressed to pave the way with these iron shields, and the shields would be damaged. But thinking about being able to kill the commander of the Warrior Army, it's still acceptable.

"Da Zhouren, what is your opinion?"

Song Yan shook his head respectfully. "The earthen walls and tents prevent prying eyes, blocking the view, and we don't even know how many people are inside, so we can't venture in."

"Cowardly." The Turkic generals began to complain frantically, and it was good luck that there was a Da Zhou man next to him and was able to get angry with him.

Mocking him seemed to be ridiculing the entire Great Zhou, allowing the Turkic generals to regain a sense of self-confidence.

The soldiers under Mo Si began to pave the road with planks and shields, widening the route into the base.

The soldiers cautiously walked through the trenches, step by step, planks erected to pave the way.

Reach the second trap block.

The plank is lowered, and the entire trap block goes directly down the tower, which has to be filled in for him to pass?

How can those Zhou people set traps so quickly!

The Turkic soldiers set a trap and then cautiously retreated.

The trap on the right is a nine-square-square-grid multiplied by a long time, and in each row, there are always one or two squares that are collapsed, and the road cannot continue, if it is a bridge, it is also worried that the two trap blocks will not be able to withstand the army of people, after all, the trenches everywhere are full of water.

The Turkic soldiers in charge of opening the way were in a terrible mood.

Zhang Yang just used the current engineering principles to simply lay out some traps.

On the left, the traditional trap is more intimidating to Turkic soldiers, and on the right, the trap design is inspired by a life-or-death game.

It's just that there is no gunpowder yet, and it can't trigger the effect of trampling to cause bombardment, so iron nails and blades are used instead.

It is absolutely not advisable to expect to cover the road with iron sheets of wood and build bridges.

The already soft earth, if pressed by gravity, would inevitably collapse towards the already soft ground, unless the Turks abandoned their horses and came on foot.

The city seems to have only one line of earthen walls, but it is actually more complicated.

If the Silent Sip can enter it, it will be difficult to damage the training army, even if the trebuchet can pass over the earthen wall and tent and enter the inner ring.

The training army was now training in a pergola made of iron shields.

The pergola covers half of the central area, and if it were not for the two gaps in the middle for daylight, it would be a boxy turtle shell.

Except for the use of wood at the joints, all other places are made of standard iron shields. Wooden tenons are used to connect, and then the triangular principle is used to strengthen the wooden structure, and then an iron shield is put on like tiles as the surface and interior of the pergola.

At this time, the training ground was a real steel training ground, impregnable.

Hitting it with a stone can only deepen the firmness of the wooden tenon and provoke a little noise.

On the contrary, it is much more dangerous for those who hide behind earthen walls to be on guard.

In Zhang Yang's view, the weapons of this era were very backward, and the fighting was all based on slashing, and although the trebuchet was powerful, it could not penetrate the iron. Using the skills passed down by Lu Ban, it is enough to defend the realm backed by natural danger.

Coincidentally, there are workers in the barracks who are proficient in carpentry, and last night many Turkic soldiers were captured, and there is no shortage of manpower, so just use his mind to design a trap.
