Speaking of this, Wei Yishang also understood that they had to defeat the Yu army so that the Yu army would not dare to attack them again.

Wei Yishang looked around and said to Ye Lingguo, "In this case, I think we should destroy some first, and then attack, now that the enemy army is strong, we will go, I'm afraid it will only increase casualties." ”

Ye Linglu nodded, and asked everyone to go and rest first, now that the equipment of the Yu Dynasty has not arrived, it will take a while to attack the city.

On the twenty-fifth day of February, when it was dawn, they heard the movement, and when they arrived at the city wall, they saw that the Yu army had already cut the moat, and now the water of the moat was rushing away.

Seeing this situation, Ye Linglu wanted to take advantage of the water momentum to rush and kill, but the Yu army in Dongying was not chaotic at all, and the river was under their attention, passing through the camp and flowing towards the small river.

Ye Linglu didn't say anything, and then, on the twenty-seventh, the siege equipment of the Yu Dynasty was all there, and everyone began to cheer up.

At noon on the 27th, Concubine Ping personally killed a cow that had been prepared for a long time, and then used the cow's blood to provoke the drum and beat the drum herself. The Yu army then attacked from all directions.

At the front was a group of soldiers dressed in cloth clothes, all of whom were death row inmates from nearby counties, some of whom were lowly people. If a death row inmate survives, then he can be spared death. If a lowly person dies in battle, his family can be exempted from the lowly status.

This group of people did not go to kill the enemy, but carried sandbags that had been prepared long ago and went to fill the moat.

As for why you don't have to dig a trench to fill it, it's because it's too slow, and even if you get close, you will be shot to death by the enemy, and when the time comes, you have to deal with the dead, and the efficiency is much slower.

And this is not necessary, whenever they die, the second wave of soldiers will go to take their corpses to fill the moat, and these soldiers will take wooden shields and advance step by step, mainly to open the way for the soldiers behind.

Ye Linggu looked at the sign sitting outside the city, saw the first wave of soldiers arrive at the sign, and said to everyone, "Two hundred steps, prepare." ”

The soldiers of the city wound their bows and arrows, and waited until the group had entered a hundred paces, and then began to release their arrows.

These soldiers were not very accurate, and they were better than arrows, and as the wave went on, fifty or sixty people were wounded.

Some of them shot at the sandbags, which they threw down and jumped into the moat.

They hid on the side of the moat near the city walls, where the soldiers were dead.

They don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and all that's left is the mission of the five ladders.

The third wave of soldiers arrived, and they hid in the cloud cart, and then the cloud cart was pushed by soldiers in paper armor around them.

The cloud cart crossed the moat from the sandbags, and the leaf eagle asked people to prepare oil, and the sergeant in the cloud cart also asked people to splash the prepared water.

Wait until the cloud cart is in place, put the pedals down, hook it up against the enemy wall, and then the first wave of infantry rushes up.

The fate of this group of soldiers was already sealed, it was the grease that was thrown on them, and then the torches were thrown over.

Luckily, they jumped into the walls and repelled the enemy with their own fire, opening the same path for the soldiers who came after them. If you're unlucky, you'll fall straight down.

But even so, they can only attack, after all, the opposite side of the oil is not endless.

It was very difficult to burn the pedal, which was covered with wet animal skin.

Although it was difficult to burn, it was not impossible, Yuan Zhaoao asked people to aim the bed crossbow at the ladder, and then let people fire crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrow was tied with a stone behind it, and when the two crossbow arrows hit the left side of the ladder, and then the soldiers on the side threw the stone under the city wall, and the stone was very heavy, and when it was pulled along the rope, the cloud cart was unbalanced, and it turned to the side in an instant.

The five ladders were destroyed, but the crossbow arrows in the city were gone.

After the ladder fell, the sun had sunk in the west, and Yu Jun began to collect his troops.

That night, the Yu army began to report losses, and today they lost a total of 3,000 people, of which more than 5,000 were wounded.

Concubine Ping sighed when she heard this loss, she was not surprised by this casualty ratio, half of the three thousand people went to fill the moat.

"Guys, what should we do next?"

"Niangniang, tomorrow you can let the archers in the army attack, today they consume a lot of feather arrows, and if the last general is not mistaken, their bed crossbow can no longer be used."

"Niangniang, continue to attack the south gate tomorrow, and wait until their soldiers are mobilized, and then let the north camp attack."

"Mother, you can also let the trebuchet attack first tomorrow, and now that their bed crossbow has failed, there is no need to worry about trebuchet."

When Concubine Ping heard this, she said to them, "Then what should they do with the trebuchets in their city?" ”

"Mother, tomorrow we will use the siege engines, and when the time comes, let them trebuchet take care of one or the other, and in three days, our ladder will come again."

Concubine Ping said okay and let them arrange it.

Then, that night, Yu Jun took out the catapult, and then kept firing stones all night, these stones did not hurt much, but the residents of the city were so frightened that they could not sleep.

After Ye Linggu was woken up, he said to everyone, "Yu Chao is here again." ”

This is the old routine of the Yu Dynasty when he besieged the capital, and he didn't need to aim, but he used a trebuchet to launch stones, so that the soldiers in the capital could not be at peace all night, and the soldiers were already tired for a day, so frightened, even more tired.

Although these dozen catapults were slow to reload, and only a quarter of an hour could be fired, this gave everyone no time to rest.

When it was just dawn, these catapults were silent, but Ye Linglu and the others hurriedly went to the city wall to wake up the soldiers.

These soldiers were so unsatisfactory that when the catapult stopped and was about to rest, they were naturally dissatisfied when they were woken up by Ye Duck and others, but they had no choice but to do it, because the siege began the next day.

This time, the Yu Dynasty directly formed a shield array to cover the archers' advance.

This shield array was from the Yu Dynasty to learn from Xirong, although they were afraid of large throwing weapons, but there were not many trebuchets in this city, so they didn't have to worry too much.

The archers of the Yu Dynasty were by the moat, and then began to shoot on their backs, the archers of the Caifeng Army were much stronger than these improvised teams, and soon, the archers on the city wall were suppressed, and as soon as they appeared, they were shot by the Yu army.

The best way to deal with this situation is to hide behind the horse's face and throw it from behind.

And the Wei army can't do this now, although they won a big victory yesterday, they also consumed a lot of feather arrows, and this feather arrow was still raised by them, only 100,000.

Yesterday they had already shot more than 30,000 pieces, and the rest did not dare to be so wasteful.

Seeing this, the leaf eagle said to the archers of the inner city, "Throw and suppress their rain of arrows." ”

The archers of the inner city nodded, and a rain of arrows passed, although it did not cause much damage to the Yu Dynasty archers, but the Yu Dynasty archers began to retreat.

The catapults are no longer throwing stones, because the siege engines have already arrived.

The siege vehicle slammed into the door, and Yu Chao's prepared diggers began to dig the root of the wall.

The Wei Dynasty now used the commonly used boiling water golden soup and rolling wood to block the actions of the Yu army.

Some Yu soldiers relied on the cloud ladder abandoned yesterday and began to build a human ladder, preparing to climb the city wall.

Ye Linglu saw that the pressure on the south gate was too great, so she asked people to send an order to let the east and west gates come to assist in the defense, and she personally took the martial arts people to prevent the enemy from entering the city.

But as soon as the east and west gates were mobilized, the Yu Dynasty saw this, and also attacked in four directions, and for a while, the shouts of killing were all day long, and the Yu army rushed to the city wall several times, but they were all killed and retreated by Ye Linglu.

This battle knew that it was dusk, and the Yu army had not yet grabbed the city wall, so they slowly retreated.

Ye Linglu and other martial arts people also sat down on the ground and rested for a while before going to the county government to discuss matters.

Entering the county office, Wei Yishang said to them; "If this continues, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to hold out for three months, although I don't know how much the Yu army has lost, but as far as I can see, the archers they are proud of have not suffered any major losses yet."

"I didn't expect the Yu army to be so difficult, originally we all thought that they would retreat if they failed to attack once, but we didn't expect them to bite us six or seven times, if it weren't for General Ye and others' strong martial arts, I'm afraid this city would be lost." Ding Xiangui was also afraid, he only understood this time that the Yu Dynasty Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army were two different things, and the tenacity of the forbidden army was far beyond their imagination.

Yuan Zhaoao barely cheered up and said to them, "Originally, we thought that they would collapse at the first touch, so three months would be no problem, but now, let's not talk about March, even three days will be difficult." ”

At this time, a disciple of the academy came to tell Wei Yishang that their repair of the city wall would not be repaired until the evening, and it was difficult to guarantee this sturdiness. If the Yu army continues to attack tomorrow, it will be difficult to keep the entire city.

While they were saying this, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the people went out, and saw a rain of arrows coming into the city. Soon a soldier came to tell him that this time there was no arrow on the arrow, but a letter.

Ye Linggu and the others didn't need to look at this letter, they knew that it was a surrender letter, they originally thought that this letter would be shot in on the first day, but they didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

Wei Yishang opened it and looked at it, and said to Yuan Zhaoao, "This is not good, they are going to counter our army." ”

The letter said that the sage understood why they rebelled, and the last time it was the king of You's own opinion, but the sage also restrained the king of You, not to attack the city and hurt the people, thinking that the people in the city would change their lives when their grievances disappeared. Unexpectedly, the people in the city misunderstood the kindness of the imperial court and attacked the king.

The sage was indeed very angry about this matter, but the people of the world are all the children of the sage, and this is the son of man, how can anyone not make mistakes, so the sage thought about it and let Concubine Ping come here.

The siege of the city in the past two days is just to let everyone know that Wang Shi is not incapable of recovering here, but he is just unwilling.
