After a confrontation, the Qi State military camp fell into disadvantage, which made the Jin State side see that the attack was effective, and the morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted and continued to bombard.

"You can't fight like this, the enemy trebuchet has a cover in front of it, and you have to hit the parabola at an elevation angle!"

Zhao Dang and Ding Xianghui saw that the bed crossbow attack was blocked, and immediately said to the veterans.

"There is not enough light on the enemy's side, so it is difficult to see clearly and fight. And you see, the sandbags in front of the enemy's catapult are very high, and the parabola of our crossbow arrows can be as high as the catapult? ”

The veterans naturally knew how to find a way to get over the obstacles, but the enemy was cunning, the catapult was hidden behind cover, and the bed crossbow could not do it.

"Then hit people, they are not all behind cover!"

Zhao Dang opened his mouth and said, it is not a way to be beaten so passively all the time.

"Hang this up and hit the elevation angle!"

Ding Xianghui hung a gourd on a crossbow arrow.

"Fire oil! That's right, with fire oil! ”

The veterans reacted immediately.

"Catapult, ignition oil!"

Zhao Dang reacted immediately and shouted at the catapult.

"Fire oil! Fire oil! ”

Ruan Li and Huang Zhongfu also reacted, and the gunpowder in the catapult was tied to the fire oil gourd.

"It's still a young man's brain."

Lu Zhishen looked at all this and said with a smile, he looked at the retreating army in the rear and sighed, there can be no light on their side, and they can't let the enemy know that their main force is withdrawing.

As long as there is light on one side, they can't have it on their side, so let the opposite side have it, and it is also an advantage to play in the dark and in the light.

The catapult and the bed crossbow exerted force at the same time, and the explosion sounded in front of the Jin army array, and the fire oil was ignited in the firelight, and the stars burst into flames, and in an instant there was a fire in front of the Jin army array.

Screams rang out at the same time, and the Jin soldiers who had been splashed with ignition oil wailed in pain.

"Hit!"

Seeing the fire on the enemy's side, the firelight illuminated everything clearly, and roared excitedly, and the catapults and bed crossbows continued to attack.

The Jin army was in chaos, the trebuchets were destroyed one after another, and the Jin army at the forefront was so frightened that they retreated again and again.

"Damn!"

Wanyan Zonghan was annoyed when he saw it, and he was cracked by the enemy just after he got up, and this temptation failed again.

"Withdraw!"

Wan Yan Lou ordered that the attack had failed, and now he could only retreat first.

The Jin army went away in disarray, the oil burned out, and the night was quiet again.

Lu Zhishen arrived at the front line, looked at the camp walls destroyed by the enemy, and just sighed.

"What are you doing with your head drooping, weren't you brave just now?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Huang Zhongfu, Ruan Li and others, and the few young people who were still shouting before the war are now drooping their heads, like defeated roosters.

"Because someone died in battle? Someone was hurt? ”

Lu Zhishen saw that several people were looking at the wounded barracks not far away, and looking at the blood stains on their bodies, he knew what was wrong with these kids.

Dead people are not strangers, who has never seen dead people on the battlefield, but the death of people around them and the death of strangers are completely different in sense.

"When you enter the army, you have to get used to life and death, and continue to live with the share of your dead brother."

After Lu Zhishen finished speaking, he left, he was going to the wounded camp to have a look.

When a few people saw Lu Zhishen go to the injury camp, they also followed, they didn't dare to face these themselves, but it was different with Lu Zhishen.

The Jin army tried for a day, fighting from morning to night, which stunned the defenders of Taiyuan Mansion, and they almost forgot which side they were the most dangerous.

"What's wrong with them?"

Zhang Xiaochun looked at the battle in the distance and didn't understand it at all, the Qi army just couldn't defend it, the Jin army just tried not to attack, and both sides were full of strangeness.

"Governor Zhang, let's break through!"

Ma Kuo suddenly spoke, his voice was very small, and he was close to Zhang Xiaochun, this voice could only be heard by the two of them.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Xiaochun scolded Ma Kuo sharply, he is the prefect of Taiyuan, how can he leave Taiyuan Mansion?

"Governor Zhang, more than half of the reinforcements are killed and wounded and can't afford to come again! What's the point of our perseverance? Break through and save your strength to fight back! ”

Ma Kuo opened his mouth and said, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to make senseless sacrifices, and there was no need for Taiyuan Mansion to guard.

"If I go, what will happen to the people of Taiyuan Mansion? When I first gathered them, I promised them that I would let them live and work in peace and contentment in Taiyuan Mansion! ”

Zhang Xiaochun pointed to the Taiyuan Mansion behind him, and now the people in the mansion were all recruited by him, and he gave a promise.

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Taiyuan Mansion, which was where his heart and soul were, but when he turned around again, he looked at the enemy, and finally just shook his head.

"Let's go! You don't belong to Taiyuan Mansion in the first place! ”

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Ma Kuo, he also knew the current situation, Taiyuan Mansion would be broken sooner or later, he could live and die with Taiyuan Mansion, but Ma Kuo didn't need to.

"Governor Zhang, I'm not afraid!"

Ma Kuo opened his mouth to explain that he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, if he was afraid, he would not use Taiyuan Mansion at all.

"I know, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices, only by living can we drive away the Jin people!"

Zhang Xiaochun raised his hand to stop Ma Kuo, of course he knew that Ma Kuo was not greedy for life and afraid of death.

Early the next morning.

Lu Zhishen led people to patrol outside the camp, as if to check the losses caused by the enemy.

All this was seen by Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Zonghan, they saw Lu Zhishen walking back and forth outside the camp for a long time, and the frustration in their hearts instantly dissipated a lot, they finally achieved some results, and the enemy just didn't dare to go out of the camp to fight hard.

"We're actually playing well!"

Wanyan Zonghan said.

"But there is still no way to drive the enemy away, and there is no way to attack Taiyuan Mansion with peace of mind! They're holding us back! ”

Wanyan Lou Room frowned and said, Now it seems that the enemy is trying to contain them, and they are really contained.

"I knew this was the case, and the enemy should have rushed over when he first came!"

Wanyan Zonghan regretted it a little, they came this time with light cavalry, and the well-armed Qi army in front of them, they couldn't capture the camp.

"Hit Taiyuan Mansion first, I don't believe that Lu Zhishen will watch us capture Taiyuan Mansion!"

Wanyan Lou Room said, they don't have any good ways now, they have tried several times in vain, and their losses seem to be greater.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Wanyan Zonghan also agreed, since the enemy did not come out, then they were not welcome, and when they entered Taiyuan Mansion, they slowly confronted each other.

The Jin army was quickly assembled, with more than 20,000 troops gathered outside Taiyuan Mansion, and more than 10,000 troops continued to defend on the high slopes.

On Taiyuan Mansion, Zhang Xiaochun and Ma Kuo's faces were very ugly, Ma Kuo was preparing to take advantage of the chaos to break through when the enemy fought again today, but he didn't expect that the Jin Army would not go to the Qi army today, and he would go straight to their Taiyuan Mansion.

"Quick, it's all hidden!"

Zhang Xiaochun saw Jin Bing pushing out the stone throwing truck, and immediately reminded the soldiers loudly that they had seen the power of this stone throwing machine yesterday.

"Hit!"

Wan Yan Zonghan didn't hesitate at all, if they couldn't defeat the Qi State-run Village, couldn't they still beat Taiyuan Mansion?

The stone thrower kept throwing explosive bags, and the city of Taiyuan was full of fire, and a large amount of smoke and dust and gravel were blown away.

"Continue"

Wanyan Zonghan didn't dare to raise his head when he saw that the city was bombed, and sneered in his heart, if it weren't for the Qi army, they would have taken Taiyuan Mansion by now.

Wanyan Lou watched everything from the high slope, and he led the cavalry to line up on the high slope, serving the entire Taiyuan Mansion.

"I'll see how long you can endure it!"

Seeing the Taiyuan Mansion that was beaten to the point of being powerless, Wanyan Lou looked coldly at the Qi State camp and thought, he has 15,000 light cavalry here, as long as Lu Zhishen dares to lead the troops out of the camp, he will rush down.

In the camp of Qi State, everyone looked at the Taiyuan Mansion that was attacked.

"Don't these people have any equipment! It's not a matter of shrinking your head and being beaten like this! ”

Huang Zhongfu opened his mouth and said, so far he has not seen Taiyuan Mansion make any effective counterattack, although there is a city, but it will not work for a long time.

"You think everyone is like us! In that place in Tokyo, except for the faint king, he is a corrupt official! Not a good thing! ”

Ruan Li said.

Just when everyone was looking at it, Lu Zhishen also came.

"Lu Xiang! What shall we do? ”

When Huang Zhongfu and the others saw Lu Zhishen coming, they all stepped forward excitedly.

"What Lu Xiang! Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

Lu Zhishen immediately said with a straight face.

"The privy envoy can open the house and build teeth, so he can naturally be commensurate!"

Several people said with a smile, after last night, they were also familiar with Lu Zhishen, and knew that Lu Zhishen was a knife-mouthed tofu heart.

"Just call the master!"

Lu Zhishen was embarrassed and waved his hand.

"Master, let's go out and fight for a while?"

A few people didn't joke much, Lu Zhishen was their chief and their elder, it was not good to be too casual.

"Get out? Look at the enemy's cavalry arrayed on the high slopes, waiting for us to get out! ”

Lu Zhishen pointed to the Jin cavalry on the other side.

"Master, we have equipment, a crossbow array, a bed crossbow and a trebuchet to open the way!"

Zhang Qiu said.

"And then? Let's push it over? We only have 5,000 people here, and we'll be exposed when we go out! ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head.

"Then let's watch the enemy attack the city?"

Ruan Li was a little anxious, the state of Taiyuan Mansion was not very good, if it was not saved, it would be taken by the Jin people, and when the enemy had a city, they would be the ones who were passive.

"Look at you're in a hurry! Siege is not that simple! The Jin people looked at the fight, but in fact, they were far from breaking the city! ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said.

"Isn't this about to break?"

A few people pointed to Taiyuan Mansion, the bombardment of the Jin people has stopped, the Taiyuan Mansion is in a mess, the Jin people's attack is very targeted, their stone thrower is to find a point to hit hard, and the worst city tower has collapsed.

"Look, the enemy is pushing the siege engine!"

A few people had sharp eyes, and they saw instruments such as goose carts and ladders.

"Take your time! This siege and defense of the city is a university question! ”

Lu Zhishen smiled and said nothing.

Outside Taiyuan Mansion, the Jin army relied on the goose cart to get under the city wall, set up the ladder, and began to climb up with a shield.

"Hit!"

Just when the Jin army thought that victory was in sight, a large number of defenders suddenly appeared on the city, and rolling stones, logs, hot oil, and gold juice were all greeted together.

The golden soldiers who were close in front suddenly screamed, and those on the ladder were even more shaken by the hot oil and gold juice, and they fell down one by one screaming.

"The goose cart comes forward, and the stone thrower presses!"

Wanyan Zonghan immediately ordered, he was not surprised by the enemy's resistance, if Taiyuan Mansion didn't even resist, then what was their siege for such a long time?

As soon as the stone thrower came out, the city wall was suddenly blown up with corpses all over the ground, and many defenders were shocked by the explosion and flew out and fell off the city wall.

After another burst of bombardment, the goose cart again covered the approach of the soldiers, and the first soldiers again began to ascend the city with their shields in hand.

And the defenders of the city also reappeared, and the same method repelled the besieging Jin army.

"Just like that?"

Seeing such a tragic siege battle for the first time, several young people were dumbfounded.

"My brother just protects you too well, how can there be immortals in war! Siege has been like this since ancient times, constantly depleting until the defenders are exhausted! ”

Lu Zhishen pointed to Taiyuan Mansion and said to a few people, Sun Lei doesn't like this kind of consumption of human lives, so there have never been any major casualties on their side.

But this can't be done, soldiers don't have to die, but they must know and feel the horror of the battlefield, so that they can still persist and not give up when they encounter a desperate situation.

"There are at least 3,000 defenders in Taiyuan Mansion, and they have also mobilized thousands of people, the Jin army has us to contain it, and the siege is not decisive, this kind of fighting Taiyuan Mansion can hold at least two or three days!"

Lu Zhishen looked at the Taiyuan Mansion in the distance and said, from Sun Xu, he already knew the garrison strength of the Taiyuan Mansion.

"Master, are we waiting for something?"

Several people looked at Taiyuan Mansion and then at Lu Zhishen, and then asked in a low voice, this is actually not difficult to guess, Lu Zhishen only brought 20,000 people to confront the enemy, and now he is still divided into two ways, which is obviously what he is waiting for.

"Wait for reinforcements! Don't underestimate the Jin people, although this group of people is a barbarian, but the combat effectiveness is good, if it is really a head-on battle, if there is no equipment, our chances of winning are not great! ”

Lu Zhishen did not hide it, and only the generals knew about this situation at present.

"Reinforcements!"

Several people were all happy.

……

The Jin army attacked for a whole day, but still failed to attack Taiyuan Mansion, and the defenders were very resolute, no matter how the Jin army attacked, they gritted their teeth and insisted.

"Damn, I'll kill you all!"

Wanyan Zonghan pointed at the Taiyuan Mansion and scolded angrily, but he did not order the siege of the city again, but asked the soldiers to retreat and rest.

"There is no movement on the side of Qi State, I saw Lu Zhishen, he is also paying attention to Taiyuan Mansion, but he has not sent troops!"

Wanyan Lou said to Wanyan Zonghan.

"Taiyuan Mansion will be able to take it in two days!"

Wanyan Zonghan also talked about the situation on his side.

"Two days? Well, I'll be careful tomorrow! ”

Wanyan Lou Room said, there are still two days to break the city, then tomorrow is the most critical day, if Lu Zhishen can still hold back, then Taiyuan Mansion is theirs, and they will win this war.

A group of high-ranking military officials discussed for a long time, they analyzed various possibilities, and also studied the corresponding strategies.

The next day.

"Report, deputy commander, 50,000 enemies are coming from the north, less than fifty miles from here!"

A cavalryman hurriedly ran into the tent of the Chinese army camp and shouted.

"What? Fifty thousand! ”

Wan Yan Lou Room and Wan Yan Zonghan were so frightened that they rolled off the marching bed, they discussed the battle last night in the second half of the night, they thought that everything was in the plan, why did this kind of bad news come early in the morning.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Wan Yan Lou Room yelled.

The horn sounded suddenly, and the entire Jin army camp was also in chaos, the camp was like a fried pot, and the soldiers thought that the Qi army was coming.

But when the army was assembled, there was no movement at all in the Qi camp in the distance.

"Go, go to the highest place!"

Seeing that the army had been assembled, Wanyan Lou immediately pointed to the highest hill outside Taiyuan Mansion and said.

Although the soldiers did not know what was happening, they carried out the order and quickly evacuated.
