"Gonggong, the small one has stewed a big pot of mutton soup, do you want to eat some?" As soon as Cai Maode got out of the city, Fang San walked up to Chang Yu from the city tower behind him and asked in a low voice.

Chang Yu snorted and immediately beckoned everyone to drink soup.

The cold wind had been blowing for more than an hour, and everyone was already hungry and cold, but they had focused on the thief army and didn't know it.

The people at the head of the city are eating incense, and the soldiers under the city are also taking turns to eat, in fact, as early as when they found out that the thieves were out of the camp, Chang Yu ordered to make a fire to make food.

Letting soldiers go to the battlefield hungry is not Chang Yu's style. Even if they die in battle, they must be a full ghost!

A bowl of mutton soup went down to the stomach, the whole body was hot, and the cold disappeared.

Just waiting for the thief to make a move, Chang Yu stretched his waist.

Boom! There was a loud noise faintly in the distance, Chang Yu and the others were startled, and hurriedly rushed out of the city tower, seeing that the camp of the thief army on the opposite side was not moving, and when they looked around, they heard the sound of killing from the east and west.

"The East and West are two hands!" Zhou Yuji looked at the flagbearer on the upper floor of the East and West Cities and said lightly.

"The main force of thieves is so calm?" Niu Yong frowned.

"He's still waiting!"

Chang Yu's eyes were cold, looking at the main camp of the thief army in the south of the city, Li Zicheng actually played psychological warfare with him!

He attacked on both flanks, but the main force did not move, which inevitably distracted the officers and soldiers from the two flanks, but they couldn't leave, and they didn't dare to go! Because you don't know when he's going to do it.

In the end, you can't help but want him to do it quickly, but he just doesn't do it, so you suffer from gains and losses, and ignore the current situation.

"Lao Tzu has the patience to play with you" Chang Yu sneered, beckoned, and behind him, Fang San brought his mountain armor to serve him and put it on.

In the blink of an eye, a young eunuch who was a hanger turned into a murderous and majestic killer with a majestic weapon!

Unlike Zhou Yuji and others, who always look at things casually, and are concerned about the battle situation on the two wings, Chang Yu's eyes have been locked on the present, and he doesn't care about the battle situation on the two wings at all.

It depends on his understanding that it is just a distraction by Li Zicheng, and there are a lot of officers and soldiers at the east and west city gates, and there are moat barriers, and it is not easy for the thieves to cross the river!

Time slipped by slowly, and the kung fu of a cup of tea seemed to be as long as a century in the hearts of Zhou Yuji and others, I didn't understand that Li Zicheng was so calm, and I also admired Chang Yu's endurance, so he stood against the wall like that, without squinting and motionless.

Boom, boom, a few loud bangs, the thief army moved, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

Doing it, Chang Yu's body shook and shouted: "Prepare for war!" ”

The main force of the thief army finally launched an attack, and thousands of cannon fodder, driven by the thief army, poured towards the moat, and the black pressure was like locusts.

By the moat, He Chengxin held the long knife in his hand tightly, exhaled a long breath, and saw that the cannon fodder was getting closer and closer, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Finally, when the cannon fodder was about ten meters away from the moat, they almost spoke with Chang Yu in the city: "Release the arrows!" ”

Ten thousand arrows are fired together, covering the sky and the sun, like dark clouds covering the top, the red sun is overshadowed, which is shocking, even Chang Yu in the city can't help but gasp, and the special effects blockbusters that later generations have seen are also incomparable.

The officers and soldiers shot arrows to kill the cannon fodder who rushed to the moat, and the thief archers who followed the cannon fodder immediately returned fire and fired their bows at the officers and soldiers defending on the opposite bank......

Death to move forward, death to retreat, these cannon fodder finally chose to move forward, rushing towards the moat with grief on their faces, some of them holding farm tools in their hands and smashing the sharp logs on the ice, some of them broke them with their bare hands, or kicked them with their feet, trying to open a passage.

The firepower of the officers and men was mainly concentrated on the cannon fodder, but the target of the thieves in the rear was on the officers and men.

"Stone thrower" Chang Yu shouted loudly, and the standard-bearers around him immediately signaled, and He Chengxin under the city immediately ordered.

More than 50 stones lined up outside the south gate were immediately activated, and the basin-sized stones crossed the moat and smashed into the camp of the thieves after crossing the cannon fodder, causing an immediate commotion.

However, in the face of an overwhelming army of thieves, this blow is far from enough.

"Artillery!"

The two red-coated cannons under the city immediately opened fire, and the shells flew over the moat and fell into the thief camp, and the explosion killed and injured countless people!

It's still a good thing! Chang Yu slammed the battlement with a punch.

Taiyuan City originally had six artillery guns, and then from the rear Ningwu, Yanmen transferred four doors for a total of ten, at this time there are eight doors on the city, two under the city, this red-clothed cannon can be described as the top heavy weapon of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the firing range can reach up to five kilometers, of course, it is also amazingly heavy, more than two tons at every turn.

The use of catapults and artillery really stopped the offensive of the thief army, but the footsteps of the cannon fodder were still the same.

However, the defensive line set up by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the opposite bank could not allow them to cross the river easily, and because of the terrain problem, the cannon fodder and the rear thief army were facing a great danger.

That's too much crowding!

This is also due to the trench array, Chang Yu used tens of thousands of refugees to dig several vertical and horizontal trenches day and night, more than ten miles long from east to west, although it lost its effectiveness under the strong attack of the thief army, but it was only this piece facing the Great South Gate!

And the hole torn open by the thief army is only more than 50 meters wide, which means that the trenches on both sides of the mouth are still as usual.

But the thief army launched an attack, and the cannon fodder archers swarmed up, often tens of thousands of people, the width of more than 50 meters was far from enough, and the crowds were crowded, and they could only reach the moat through this opening before they could spread out a large-scale attack from east to west.

This opening was the passage of the thieves to the moat, but at this time it was also their seven inches, and the artillery and trebuchets of the officers and soldiers aimed at this opening to bombard, each time it could cause a wide range of casualties.

Seeing that the thief army was frustrated, Chang Yu couldn't help but burst out loud and laughed, which was terrifying.

The thieves fought back!

Before Chang Yu's laughter fell, his face changed!

What you have, I have! Seeing the officers and soldiers using artillery and stone throwers, the thieves also ordered the use of mass killing weapons!

It was also a stone thrower, but to Chang Yu's surprise, Li Zicheng did not order the bombardment of the ice, but the camp of officers and soldiers on the opposite shore!

Compound play! Li Zicheng didn't want to break through the ice to cross the river, which would be more difficult for him, so he let the cannon fodder go on the road, and the archers and stone throwers behind could remotely attack the positions of the officers and soldiers on the opposite bank.

He didn't care about the life or death of the cannon fodder, but the officers and soldiers were struggling, on the one hand, they had to deal with the cannon fodder of the charge in front of them, and on the other hand, they had to deal with the arrows and stone throwers of the thief army behind the cannon fodder.

A little relaxation of the cannon fodder will open a passage, but the attention is all on the cannon fodder, but the catapults and artillery alone cannot suppress the charge of the thieves behind the cannon fodder.

At this time, most of the cannon fodder and thieves had already crossed the passage more than 50 meters wide and began to disperse when they reached the moat, gradually increasing the attack surface, and the situation was precarious!

It is expected that it will take half an hour at the earliest, but now it is not enough to start a cup of tea, and seeing that some of the cannon fodder have already crossed the river more than halfway, it is possible that it will be faster than expected, and Chang Yu is also anxious.

There are also nearly 100 trebuchets on the city wall, but because the range of the trebuchet is only more than 300 meters, the moat is three miles away from the city wall, and it is completely out of range, so it cannot be used to suppress the enemy army.

"Pour a bowl of water" Chang Yu suddenly felt that his throat was about to smoke, and with a wave of his hand, Fang San hurriedly ran into the city tower and brought him a pot of herbal tea.

After a grunt, Chang Yu looked around, looked at the flag-bearer, and knew that the two wings could still bear it, so he focused on the present.

The rain of arrows under the city is intensive, the sound of cannons, the shouts of killing are deafening, and the enemy and us shoot at each other at a long distance, although it is not as tragic as hand-to-hand combat, but it is still shocking!

Seeing that the thief army reached more and more of the moat through the opening, and the attack area became wider and wider, once going east to the city of Xiaonanmen, Zhou Yuji and several people had solemn faces, pacing back and forth, and they could see that they were very anxious.

"Break the ice!" Chang Yu suddenly shouted, and Zhou Yuji and the others were stunned!

The thief army is not broken, Lao Tzu is broken! Chang Yu ordered the stone throwers under the city to start smashing towards the ice!

"In this way, there is always a slowdown!" Zhou Yuji breathed a sigh of relief.

If you use compound play, so will Lao Tzu! Chang Yu sneered, first use the iceberg sharp wood to block you for a while, and when you cross the river more than halfway, you will directly break the ice, so that you will waste your efforts, and you will have to spend a lot of effort to cross the river in the future!
