"Prepare for battle!" Guy saw a large number of slaves of the Western Qin army rushing towards the city wall, this time it was obviously different from before, these slaves formed a group, this is not something that the slaves themselves can do, in the previous siege, those slaves were all messy, either rushing over in a swarm, or fighting separately, this time the slaves obviously seem to have been organized, as an elder who has been engaged in organizing the congregation to participate in various religious activities, Guy of course understands that organized collective action must not be taken lightly.

The soldiers of the garrison began to concentrate on preparing for the attack of the slaves at Guy's shouting, the boiling water on the walls was already boiling hot, and the soldiers were already full of arrows.

At this time, the Christian bishop Perridge and several priests climbed the wall angrily and shouted: "Guy, Guy, damn Guy, where are you!" ”

Guy turned his head and saw that it was Perridge, he couldn't help frowning, and walked over to Guy and said very dissatisfied: "Perridge, why don't you go to the city to appease the residents and run to the city wall to cause trouble?" ”

Perridge looked annoyed and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't care what I'm doing first, let me ask you, I heard that the King of Western Qin asked you to go out to meet and discuss surrender, why did you refuse?" Do you know if you do this will kill all of us, this battle has been fought so far, our original men and horses have lost most of them, and now they are supplemented by market gangsters who have never held weapons, where is there any combat power to speak of? Jerusalem is already a lonely city, all the surrounding areas have been captured by the Western Qin, we can't get any reinforcements, the Western Qin people don't care where this is, this is not their holy city, they won't care about any churches, mosques, churches, anger them, they will raze this place to the ground, do you really think they don't have the ability to break through this city? Don't dream, the people of Western Qin have been exercising restraint, only attacking with slaves, not using their elite headquarters, and not letting trebuchets launch in the direction of depth in the city, even I, a person who doesn't understand military affairs, can see that the king of Western Qin has left us leeway, you are doing this to shame your face, do you understand? ”

Guy's face was ugly, "Perridge, we have already agreed, you are in charge of civil affairs, and Murisardin and I are in charge of military affairs, let's not meddle in things that we shouldn't be in charge of, you ran to the city wall to ask for guilt, is it a bit overstepping?" ”

Perridge said angrily: "Guy, this matter is not just a military matter, but a matter related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Jerusalem and the city, do you think that you alone can decide their future?" Ask them if they're willing to die here with you! ”

"Bishop Perridge, our three religions have long agreed that we will advance and retreat together and defend this holy city together, no matter how powerful the enemy is, if you want to take the holy city from us, you must ask us if the sword in our hands agrees! What, are you going to regret it now? Are you scared? You coward! ”

Perici listened to Guy's words and weakened, he sighed: "Guy, I know that you are a strong-willed person, and you are also a person who does not admit defeat easily, but the current situation is different from the beginning, there is no involvement or connection between the Western Qin Kingdom and our three religions, we use the means to deal with Niserus against the Western Qin people, Nisserus is afraid of the pressure of the Holy See and does not storm Jerusalem, but the King of Western Qin will not give face to the Holy See!" Do you really think it's necessary to fight a war that is completely hopeless? I hope you are sensible, we can surrender, as long as we can keep everything in the holy city, as long as the people of the Western Qin do not harm the residents in the city, as long as they do not destroy the buildings in the city, what does it matter if we surrender? Are you really going to hell with this city? ”

With a blue face, Guy yelled at the soldiers next to him: "The war is urgent, Lord Perridge is too dangerous on the city wall, come, send Lord Perridge back to the church, he wants to pray for all of us, pray that the Lord will bless us to defeat the Western Qin people and keep our homeland!" ”

"Yes, sir!" A few of the soldiers agreed, pushed away the clergymen next to them, picked up Perridge and walked under the walls.

Perridge kicked his hands and feet and shouted, "Guy, you're going to kill everyone by doing this!" Guy is crazy, Guy is crazy······"

Guy didn't have time to think about the gains and losses, the army of slaves had rushed to the city wall, a siege ladder was set up on the wall of the city wall, and the slaves below continued to climb up along the siege ladder, but the soldiers defending the city above kept pouring boiling water below, stopping the slaves, some slaves could not dodge, they were scalded and fell off the ladder, and fell seriously or died, and the other slaves had to use shields above their heads to block the boiling water.

After nearly a month of defending the city, the defenders can use the materials and equipment to defend the city has bottomed out, the oil oil, thunderwood, rolling stones, arrows have almost been used up, now the defenders can only use to pour boiling water under the city, but the boiling water also has a time to splash out, and when the city wall is no longer splashed with boiling water, the slaves under the city continue to climb the ladder under the order of the ten-captain and the centurion, and the defenders on the city wall have to wait.

In the distance, the siege well fence of the Western Qin army is slowly pushing over and approaching the city wall, the Western Qin archers on the well fence keep shooting arrows at the city wall, the soldiers defending the city are either killed or injured, the proximity of the well fence brings great damage and pressure to the soldiers defending the city, these archers provide great cover for the slaves who attack the city with ladders, and their bows and arrows even shoot so that the defender soldiers dare not raise their heads.

Zhao Ziliang observed with a telescope for a while, and felt that the effect of this siege was good, especially the defenders' arrows had been exhausted, and they could not use bows and arrows to counter-suppress the Western Qin archers on the well railing, and those Western Qin archers played a great role in the attack.

Zhao Ziliang ordered Han Shusen: "Order the siege team of the well fence not to connect to the city wall for the time being, first bow and arrow to provide long-range cover for the slaves who are attacking the city with cloud ladders, and then approach and evacuate the archers after enough slaves climb the city wall and fight with the defenders, and use the well fence to transport the slaves to the city to fight!" In addition, the catapult crew was ordered to fire stone projectiles non-stop, and the middle section of the city wall would not last long! ”

"Yes!"

This battle was fought for a whole day, and it didn't stop until dark, Zhao Ziliang ordered the withdrawal of troops back to the camp and passed the count, the battle casualties during the day exceeded eight hundred, and the remaining slaves were less than two thousand, but Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with the effect of today's siege, this siege almost broke through the city wall defense, if it wasn't for Guy to transfer more residents from the city to help defend the city, they would not be able to withstand it.

On the morning of April 15, the siege continued.

This time, Zhao Ziliang invested all the slave troops, and also divided half of the reserve Bai Gang's men and horses to Liang Chao and Gu Cheng to increase their troops.

The battle lasted less than an hour before it reached a fever pitch, and as the defenders had exhausted their arsenal, the slaves quickly climbed the walls to fight with the defenders.

Just arrived in the morning, the catapult team for two consecutive days to drop stone bombs finally had results, a section of nearly 20 meters of the outer wall in the middle of the city wall was finally smashed by a large number of stone bombs, a large number of masonry collapsed, the defenders above fell down with it, many people were submerged in the bricks and gravel, not only that, the city wall has piled up a lot of stone bombs in the past two days, these stone bombs are piled up very high, the collapsed masonry also submerged these stone bombs, but an uneven slope was formed outside, But this did not prevent the Western Qin army from attacking from here.

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately pointed to the collapse and ordered loudly: "Order, let the catapult team immediately project the inner wall, and strive to smash the inner wall as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, King!"

In fact, the defense of a single wall was very weak, and the catapult unit only threw three rounds of stone bullets in a row, and the single wall of the inner wall was smashed, so that all the walls in this position collapsed, and the masonry collapsed to form a slope on both sides.

Bai Gang had been waiting for this time for a long time, his men and horses had been waiting around here for two days, and he immediately pulled out his war knife and pointed forward: "The time has come to use us, everyone follow me to this gap and kill into the city!" ”

"Kill—" Under Bai Gang's leadership, the slaves roared and rushed after him to the gap.

But at this time, a large number of defenders gathered behind the gap, the West Qin army continued to bombard this section of the city wall with stone shells in the past two days, Guy They are not blind, of course, they can see, they can also guess the intention of the King of Western Qin, but they have no good way to stop, it is impossible to rebuild this section of the city wall, they can only gather heavy troops to block behind this city wall, as long as the city wall is smashed, they are ready to fight with the Western Qin army.

The two sides fought fiercely at the opening of the city wall, and the corpses piled up higher and higher.

A quick horse ran over to Zhao Ziliang to report: "King Qiyu, the defenders have gathered a large number of troops at the gap in the city wall, General Bai Gang and his men and horses have been blocked, and they cannot attack the city for the time being!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned, he didn't expect the will of the defenders to be so tenacious, no wonder Guy would be so confident, he used a telescope to observe the city wall for a while, and found that the city wall was also completely mired in melee at this time, and both sides were inseparable, but there was no doubt that the slaves' fighting will was definitely not as good as the defenders.

Zhao Ziliang put down the binoculars and said to Chen Qing: "Don't play with them, order the infantry formation to move forward, bow and arrow ready!" Estimate the distance of the place where the defenders are concentrated behind the gap, and then use bows and arrows to fire a massive salvo, and let these Western barbarians taste the power of my Great Qin bow and crossbow! ”

"Yes!"

After the infantry formation had stopped some distance in advance, everyone took out their bows and arrows at the command of the general and aimed them at the rear of the gap.

"Bow—Forty-five degrees—Full Bow—Arrows—"

There was a loud "buzz", and the sound of all the bowstrings bouncing back, only to see a large number of arrows flying into the sky and converging behind the gap in the city wall and falling, and a large number of screams came from behind the gap.

After three rounds of arrows in a row, the defenders behind the gap in the city wall were empty, and there were dense corpses lying on the ground, stacked in several layers, and the corpses were all densely packed with arrows.

The defenders of the gap, which had lost their vitality, were soon unable to withstand the attack of the slaves led by Bai Gang, and were killed one after another, and Bai Gang immediately rushed into the city with the slaves, and the slaves were stunned when they saw the corpses and countless arrows all over the ground.

The city was broken, and the defenders on the city walls seemed to have all their strength drained at once, and they no longer had any desire to fight, and fled in the direction of the city, where their families still needed protection.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand forward: "Order the infantry to enter the city, the cavalry and the servant army are not allowed to move, the soldiers who enter the city are not allowed to destroy the buildings in the city, they are not allowed to rob and prevent fire, they are not allowed to kill ** women, they are not allowed to kill unarmed people, and those who violate the order are beheaded!" ”

"Yes!"
