"Xianggong, anyway, the things are already in hand, if we can, we will just smash the whole house, and then run away. Even if Du Shuang finds out now, he can't catch up with us. ”

"Stupid~ Is this hole still there?, won't they put the smashed one back together?" The demon said: "Xianggong, do you have anything else that can make such a big hole in the iron plate?"

Zong Xin shook his head stupidly, it was not a problem to smash the whole house, but it was just a hole, which required a very high level of concentration. The magic of the Quartet is too obvious, and the pole hand cannot destroy this iron plate, and it is impossible to force it with force.

"Xianggong, in fact, I have thought of a way, if you use this method...... It's a little disgusting, but no one will ever think that it's you, Du Shuang will only find other people to be angry. Bu Mei said: "You can blame Zhao Kuangyin for this matter." ”

"How to blame?"

Ayumi said: "You use Yihan to cut this hole into a complete square, there are so many divine weapons in this world, it is more difficult to recognize than martial arts." And as I said earlier, the Musou ruler is not only a ruler that can measure anything, but also a good weapon for sharpening iron like clay. If Du Shuang saw that this hole was so smooth, his first reaction would definitely be the unparalleled ruler, and now the unparalleled ruler is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin just left the unequaled city today, so it seems that ...... Zhao Kuangyin jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, it was not him but him. ”

"I despise you~ Ayumi Zhao Kuangyin is your ex-husband, how can you treat him like this?" Ning An said: "Don't you have a little husband and wife affection?" If Du Shuang knew that Zhao Kuangyin did this, he would have to fight hard with Zhao Kuangyin. ”

"What does this have to do with me? Ayumi didn't care, but this incident made Zongxin feel a little ashamed.

So Zong Xin took out the Qiankun bag, reached in and pulled Yi Han out. Slowly cut around the iron plate, cutting a small hole that had been melted and cut into a regular square. A ring, which was cut off and melted in the middle, was stuffed directly into the Qiankun bag by Zongxin, and he just found a place to dispose of it.

"Alright, let's go. ”

"Hmm~!" X4

Zong Xin and his party ran away after emptying Du Shuang's treasure house, Zong Xin helped Ning An a little, because her light skills were slightly poor, so he took her to run towards the city wall of Wushuang City at a high speed, at this time Zong Xin and his party no longer had to worry about being discovered, even if they were discovered, no one would be able to catch up.

After leaving Wushuang City, Zong Xin and his party went straight to Qizhou. Although it was just a stop, there were three people who were not very willing to go to Qizhou, the reason was very simple, Zhou Huaide and Zhao Ziyan were in Qizhou.

The reason why Gao Xingzhou is called the King of Qi is because he is entrenched in Qi Prefecture together, and Gao Huaide, as the only son of the King of Qi, can naturally inherit this position. Since Zhao Ziyan married Gao Huaide, there has been no news from the two, but after Zhao Ziyan knew that Zongxin was not dead, he hated Zhao Valve.

But now almost the whole world believes that Zongxin is dead, which makes Zhao Ziyan feel a little more comfortable, at least he is not a widow.

The reason why the demon demon, Bai Yu, and Ning An are unhappy is because Zhao Ziyan and Zong Xin had a marriage contract, and now Zong Xin even wants the second-hand goods of Ayumi, why can't he take Zhao Ziyan away?

Except for Zong Xin and Ayumi, these three women were a little worried, they were really afraid that Zong Xin would take Zhao Ziyan away after he went to Qizhou, and they really didn't know how to live when the time came.

It's redundant to worry, anyway, their goal is Qizhou, and then take a boat south after arriving in Qizhou, although it is a little troublesome, but you can waste a lot of time, after all, Chai Rong's attack on Shouzhou is definitely not a battle that can be fought in a while, so they want to waste a little more time, travel along the way and enjoy the scenery.

..................

September 955

In mid-September, the water level dropped, and 200,000 soldiers crossed the Huai River to march to Shouzhou.

The water level has just begun to decrease, and it stands to reason that the Southern Tang Navy still has a high level of action at this time, but if the water army is launched at this time and waits for the Huai River, the water level will be even lower. It is very likely that the fleet will run aground in the Huai River, so the naval army at this time can no longer be launched.

At the end of September, 200,000 troops besieged the city of Shouzhou, Shouzhou stubbornly guarded the city gate and did not open, and the guard general Liu Renzhen did not care about the pain of the siege, but ate meat and drank wine at home, and did not even go to the city wall once.

"I'm going to go...... Is this really Shouzhou? This is too terrifying. After Zhao Kuangyin saw Shouzhou at this time, he endured living in front of Chai Rong and cursed two swear words.

Not to mention that Zhao Kuangyin wants to scold, even Chai Rong wants to scold, is this still Shouzhou? It is simply a fortress of the future.

There seems to be a large number of spikes outside the city wall of Shouzhou, and there is a seemingly large repeater in every place above the battlements of the city wall, and the crossbow mouth is the same as the outside. Every few meters there is a large catapult, and the boulders are already on it.

There is no need to fight, even if 200,000 people rush over at the same time, tens of thousands of people will die before they reach the city wall. When we got to the bottom of the walls, there were still a lot of traps waiting there...... Can such a city be captured? Who built Shouzhou like this?

"It's really powerful, what the hell is going on? I haven't seen Shouzhou's defense power increase to this level for a few months. ”

Although Chai Rong was also shocked in his heart, his temperament as an emperor was still not the slightest moved, if even he was scared, what would the soldiers do?

"Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Li Hongji, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Khitan, arrived in Pingzhou by sea, bypassed Cangzhou and went directly to the king, from the king, he invited an excellent technician master to return to Shouzhou to establish fortifications. Fan Zhen said: "Chen Yuan thought that this was hearsay, after all, Li Hongji is a world-famous straw bag, how can he do such a difficult thing? ”

"Whether there is a hidden situation is unknown, but Shouzhou's defense power has indeed improved, and this situation is even more terrifying than Cangzhou. Chai Rong said: "Don't rush to attack the city for the time being, first besiege the city." Don't make senseless sacrifices before you think of breaking through the defenses of Shouzhou. ”

Chai Rong can be regarded as leading troops to fight all year round, although he has always been by Guo Wei's side, he has also seen it, but he has never seen such a strong defense as Shouzhou. The defense here is far more terrible than Tongguan, it took several years for Guo Wei to attack Tongguan, this time to attack Shouzhou, and Guo Wei has died, Chai Rong really doesn't know how many years it will take him to break through such a strong defense of Shouzhou.

In fact, this situation is the best siege, but the Great Zhou soldiers have only been east of the Huai River for a few months, and when the spring rain comes, they must withdraw their troops. Not only can the Southern Tang Navy be dispatched after the river tide rises, but the soldiers are concerned about the fertile land at home during spring ploughing, and they don't have too much heart to fight.

If there is a chance to break through Shouzhou, Chai Rong can use the money to support the soldiers to continue the war, so that the soldiers have money to buy food to maintain the livelihood of their families, so that they do not need to go home to farm. Even after the military salary was paid, the militia was mobilized to help the soldiers' families with farming, so that the soldiers had enough confidence to continue fighting, and even if they did not return, the family would not starve to death.

But Chai Rongzhen didn't know what to do, in this case, it was useless to surround Shouzhou to the death, and such a strong defense would never be easily breached.

Before Shouzhou is not strengthened, it may be possible to forcibly seize it with a large number of people, although it will pay an extremely heavy price, but at least there is a chance to break Shouzhou.

But at this time, even if 200,000 people come forward to attack the city on all sides at the same time, it is impossible to win, at this time, the defense of Shouzhou is no longer something that mortals can break, unless there is the help of immortals, Shouzhou is an absolutely safe fortress.

"If only Master Zongxin or our Third Highness were here, they would definitely be able to think of a way to break the city. Li Chongjin said: "Master Zongxin may be dead, but our Third Highness is alive and well, and he doesn't want to help." ”

Other people who said this would be taught a hard lesson by Chai Rong even if it was not a capital crime, but Li Chongjin had the qualifications and power to say this.

Now Guo Wei has only two blood relatives, the first is his son Guo Xin, and the second is his nephew Li Chongjin. Although Li Chongjin is not the emperor, he is a blood relative of the first emperor, even Chai Rong can't do anything about him.

As Guo Xin's cousin, Li Chongjin certainly has the right to complain. Although Li Chongjin is also Chai Rong's cousin, it is impossible for Chai Rong to complain about him if Chai Rong is the emperor Li Chongjin. It's just that...... Li Chongjin was dissatisfied with Chai Rong, if it wasn't for Chai Rong who offended Zong Xin in order to mint copper coins and destroy all the Buddha statues in the world, I am afraid that the first attack on Shouzhou would have been successful, as long as Zong Xin mentioned it slightly.

Zong Xin has helped the Guo family so many times, and it is not bad this time, not to mention that Guo Xin is still Zong Xin's apprentice, Zong Xin was originally short, of course he has to maintain Da Zhou.

In Li Chongjin's eyes, Chai Rong is a mediocre talent who only cares about immediate interests and disregards sustainable development in the future.

Chai Rong just glared back, and then said, "Prime Minister Wang, do you have a way to break the city?"

Wang Bo pursed his lips and shook his head directly, how could this kind of fortress be stormed? Unless there was a more powerful catapult on the side of Da Zhou and directly broke the city wall, it would be a dead end to rush through.

But the other party is the craftsmanship of the king, and it is erected on the city wall, and the height is a great advantage. As soon as the catapult starts, countless boulders fall. A single smash can kill a large area, and if the boulder is a little rounder and can roll a distance, a single launch can be full of corpses.

In this case, even a catapult of the same quality will not work, because the opponent's altitude is better than this side, and the range will be longer. Therefore, before the catapult reaches its destination, most of it will be destroyed by the falling rocks, and this is just one of their attacks.
