Han Shizhong was sitting in danger, his voice was like a flood bell, "The Art of War" cloud: 'Go to the army to fight, then to fight, then to attack the army, and then attack the city', now Liu Lin is besieged in the city, has become a trapped beast, we only need to besiege but not attack, and it will be broken for a long time. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded, Han Shizhong's strategy was indeed safe, not only avoiding a large number of casualties, but also capturing a large number of enemy troops, but she didn't want to drag on the battle for too long! On the one hand, there are Liu Yi's reinforcements in the rear, and on the other hand, she has to consider rescuing the two old men as soon as possible.

"What does General Yue think?"

Yue Fei groaned for a moment and said, "General Han's strategy can achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, but there is still Liu Yi in the north of our army, and we must take care of the Jin people waiting for the opportunity to go south, so we should go all out to attack the city!" After taking down Liu Lin, he can make the thief Liu Yu throw himself into a rat trap and dare not spy on my Great Song Dynasty land. ”

After consulting the ideas of other generals, Zhao Yingluo finally decided to attack the city.

"I have made up my mind, and I will attack the city early tomorrow morning! At that time, General Annoyance led the army to protect the rear flank of our army and levee Liu Yi to reinforce the army. ”

Han Shizhong was displeased when he saw that she did not adopt his opinion, but since the official family made her the commander, there was nothing to say.

"Although the county lord's private army has achieved a big victory for a while, but two wars are an ambush and a sneak attack, and a night attack, neither of which has ever confronted the enemy head-on, this siege battle, once the attacker is frustrated, it will greatly affect the morale of the army, if it is not handed over to our army to attack the city, the county lord can command the army to plunder."

Zhao Yingluo smiled when she heard this, "My private soldiers are not what the general thinks, the general can wait and see our army break through the city in half a day." ”

Han Shizhong was shocked when he heard this, although the city wall of this county town is not as tall as that of Zhou County, it is also two zhang high, and there are tens of thousands of Liu Lin people in the city, how to break the city in half a day?

On the other hand, Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing and others looked calm, and even showed a hint of eagerness in their eyes.

After Han Shizhong returned to his camp, he immediately began to arrange the deployment of military forces, in addition to ordering the scouts to go out twenty miles to explore Liu Yi's army, he also divided his army into three wings, left, center, and right, to defend Zhao Yingluo's army.

And Zhao Yingluo's more than 80,000 men and horses were divided into a part of the army to replace Han Shizhong to surround the south of the city, and the main force was ready to attack the north of the city with all its might.

The next day, at dawn.

Under the command of the beating drums of the siege mixed with the whistles that Zhao Yingluo equipped for the private soldiers, Zhao Yingluo's 60,000 troops who were responsible for the siege of the city slowly unfolded in an orderly manner.

In order to observe Zhao Yingluo's siege battle, Han Shizhong handed over the defensive task to the deputy general, and went straight to the city gate formation, in his opinion, the siege is nothing more than the infantry with siege shaving, hitting the goal post, etc.

However, Zhao Yingluo's attack made him feel incredible, what did he see? He actually saw a row of people holding shields in one hand and something he didn't know what to do, approaching the city gate in a column of three, and the shields were protected on the left and right sides, enveloping them all.

Behind them were a couple of men who carried a three-foot-long, black, iron-knuckled thing.

As for the infantry that usually besieged the city, they were lined up in front of the formation, and there was no movement at all.

The people on the city walls were also a little confused......

In order to deal with the siege of Zhao Yingluo's army, after entering the city, Liu Lin organized his soldiers to transport all the stones and trees used to defend the city to the city wall, and also collected oil overnight to deal with the siege ladder.

When it came time to actually siege the city, it seemed that all this was in vain.

Liu Lin on the city wall couldn't help laughing when he saw that she actually organized people to attack the city like this, "I thought that this Shen Wanshu was really as omnipotent as rumored, but now when I see it, I am simply smiling and generous, like this siege, when will I be able to capture the city?" ”

The commander laughed, and even the soldiers who were guarding the city laughed, and they didn't even need the stones and sassalwoods to defend the city, and waited for the hundreds of people to line up at the city gate to see what they were going to do.

Han Shizhong sighed secretly in his heart, Si Chen, the official family asked her to attack the city, isn't this nonsense? If he really loses the battle, where is the face of the Great Song Dynasty?

"County Lord, why don't you let my army attack the city, like this, it's child's play!"

Yue Fei and Wang Zaixing, who knew the inside story, saw Han Shizhong say that this was child's play, and their eyes suddenly became unfriendly.

Wang Zaixing, who was anxious to protect the lord, said unceremoniously, "Why is General Han in such a hurry? Since the county lord of my family arranged to do this, she has her own reasons, and she wants me to say that if General Han attacks the city instead, even if it is captured, I am afraid that most of the soldiers will be lost, and it will end in a miserable victory. ”

Han Shizhong was despised by him, and suddenly his face couldn't hold back, he has led troops to fight for more than ten years, when has he ever been so despised?

As soon as Zhao Yingluo saw that he was about to have a seizure, she said, "The general has a lot, why bother with him?" Let's see how I break the city. ”

Get! When she said this, Han Shizhong's anger was not easy to come out, so let's just see how these people break the city.

Liu Lin on the city gate saw that the hundreds of people had come to the city gate, and immediately ordered to throw stones and wood, but the armor soldier who was responsible for throwing stones and trees just showed his head when he heard countless sounds of "bang bang bang", and in an instant, those soldiers were beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, and they did not look like a shape.

This sudden situation made Liu Lin stunned......

Seeing the corpse lying in front of him, which was no longer formed, the fear in his heart skyrocketed! What happened? How did they suddenly become like this?

Although Han Shizhong couldn't see the situation on the city tower clearly, he saw bursts of green smoke coming out of that column, as bizarre as if he had cast a spell.

Liu Lin was a little unconvinced, and after ordering people to drag these corpses down, he continued to throw stones and trees for others, but the result was the same as before.

As soon as those people appeared, they also became corpses in an instant, this time Liu Lin was completely afraid, he was afraid that this kind of demon magic would also turn him into a corpse with blurred flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a few more steps back, and when he retreated, the army's heart began to waver, but under his orders, those low-level soldiers could only take their lives to fill in.

"Archers! Shoot! ”

With Liu Lin's order, the soldiers in charge of bows and arrows on the city wall filled their bows and arrows and aimed their arrows at the hundreds of people under the city gate.

However, their arrows did not pose the same threat to the enemy as expected.

The height and distance of the walls made their arrows seem to be less powerful, and even if they hit the target, they could only barely deal some damage due to the cover of the enemy's shields, and could not change the tide of battle.

Soon, the iron lump was passed under the gate of the city wall by the firecrackers under the protection of the shield passage, and after it was placed, the front firecrackers lit the fuse, and then a whistle sounded, and hundreds of people kept the formation and quickly retreated.
