The scouts of Summer City have been shuttling from city to city for a long time, and many of the people who have toured the theater and distributed herbal remedies to cure diseases have also visited the various towns. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the city that Chen Jian fabricated with mud is vivid, although he does not say that familiar people can see at a glance which city it is, so these words are even more terrifying, so that those people know that the city that seems to be as stable as a mountain is actually full of loopholes, and it is no longer suitable for the era when iron and gunpowder appeared in the military array.

There are not many people who understand that the only reliance on defending the city is foreign aid, but there are many people who understand how to build a new city. While waiting for the tunnel excavation to be completed, Chen Jian talked about how to build the road simply, how to make the city wall strong with starch paste soup and lime, clay and mud, how to fire masonry, and how to prepare sticky mortar.

These methods are really useful, they will really make the city wall stronger, and they will really make the several siege methods that Jian Chen talked about difficult.

But these things don't fall from the sky, they have to be used by people and things, and even a city needs to focus on building walls within a year or two.

Except for the Xia City system, no city can build a city while still having the energy to prepare for a war, but Yucheng does not need to build a city at all.

What should have been said has been said, and what should be scared has been frightened, and how much weight these words have in everyone's hearts depends on the effect of this siege.

Easily break the city, these words are wise sayings, need to be remembered, need to be improved, and even need to be practiced at the first time.

The siege of the city is not enough, these words are arrogance, and there is no need to remember it, because this is simply nonsense.

In view of this, Jian Chen was also worried in his heart.

A few days later, when the tunnel had been excavated four hundred and thirty paces, the excavation began to try to dig upwards, and the rammed earth foundation of the city wall was found a dozen paces away.

When the news came, Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief, personally took people to the tunnel to check, estimated the power of gunpowder, and selected three points.

The miners quickly dug out a space underneath where a large wooden box could be stacked, carried the gunpowder from the three wooden boxes, left a lead, and refilled it with loess.

Black powder is a deflagration, not an explosion, only a sealed space can have a great effect, and the miners were busy for another day to fill the tunnel near the bottom of the city wall with sand to ensure the effect of the explosion.

The rate of burn of the lead is not precise, and it can only be roughly guaranteed that it should burn for about half an hour, and there may even be a possibility of extinguishing it in the middle of the process, but everything can only be left to fate.

As early as when he was encamped, Chen Jian asked someone to build a high tower out of wood, looked at the situation inside Mucheng, made a rough mold out of clay, and divided the street.

While he was scaring the children, the officers of the Xia Cheng army in charge of the siege were also observing the clay city that Chen Jian had pinched out.

The first to attack must be the three hundred black-clothed guards led by Ji Bai, and the order given by Chen Jian was that once the city wall was breached, they should not care about the enemy near the city wall, and storm along one of the main streets of Mu City, not to care about the behind, and not to worry about being surrounded behind them.

They want to go straight to the council of Mucheng, completely disrupt the interior of the city, so that the scattered Dongyi people can not reassemble, as long as they rush forward, the faster and deeper the better, and do not chase and kill after the dispersal and continue to advance.

The next to enter the city will be more than 600 spearmen, who will take the city wall around the west gate, because the city wall is the commanding height of the whole city, and it is also the passageway, and they need to control the city gate to facilitate the entry and exit of the subsequent army.

After that, the main force will be divided into four teams according to the method of 300 people and march along the streets, they are to meet the black guards, but also to completely cut off the possibility of the Dongyi people regrouping after being disturbed by the black guards.

As for the more than 700 people in the rest of the cities, Chen Jian arranged for them to lie in ambush on the road at the rest of the gates, and when they encountered a large number of enemies, they would let them go and follow behind to pursue, making it difficult for them to assemble. Catch or kill a small group of people who have escaped.

These things had already been distributed, and they had been practiced for many days, at least the officers knew what they were going to do when they entered the city.

On August 13th, all the preparations were in place, the sun rose as usual, and it was a good day.

The soldiers of Xia City had breakfast very early, and they knew that the final battle would be fought today, because the breakfast was good.

The drummers beat the drums, the captains checked the soldiers' weapons, and when the drums stopped and turned to whistles, all the troops of Xia Cheng left the camp and stood in a group under the city.

The team gradually quieted down, Chen Jian drew out his iron sword and waved it, glanced at the already panicked head of Mucheng City, took a long breath, and asked the guards to light the fire rope in the tunnel.

The soldiers of Summer City were not nervous, believing that their leader would bring them another great victory that would shock everyone.

And the hearts of the children in the rest of the cities were constantly beating, both the excitement of participating in the attack on the big city for the first time, and the eagerness to know if those words were so serious.

The people of Mucheng had already noticed the movement of the soldiers of Xiacheng, and for a few days these soldiers of Xiacheng were just building a camp, but today they were all suddenly dispatched, and it seemed like they were going to attack the city.

They didn't know how many Xia Cheng troops there were, but they felt that there were a lot less, so Mu Hu thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was better not to transfer the countrymen from the rest of the directions to the west, in case these Xia Cheng people feinted in the west but captured the city from the rest of the directions.

Those Xia Cheng people were carrying some simple ladders, and it seemed that they were going to use this method to capture the city wall, which made Mu Hu laugh self-deprecatingly for a long time, feeling that he had thought too much about it before.

Feather arrows and stones have been covered with the city wall, and if the people of Xia Cheng just want to use ladders, I am afraid it will not be easy. Those who defended the city suddenly gained confidence, and the slaves who had been shaken also temporarily let go of the hatred that had been stirred up before, compared to hatred, the spear behind them was too close, and the future land was too tempting.

Scolding as a prelude to the big battle had already begun, and the soldiers in Xia Cheng couldn't understand what those Dongyi people were scolding, and just waited quietly for orders.

Ji Bai, who was at the front of the line, looked at the city wall in the distance, and felt a little uneasy. This time the assault was completely different from the previous ones, in the previous training to storm the enemy's formation, they needed to wear leather armor covered with copper nails, and they had to be close to thirty or forty paces before launching the assault.

But this time, all the black-clothed guards took off their heavy leather armor and wore only a simple layer of leather armor, and the only thing that could protect them was the wooden shield in their hands. And this time the order was to once there was a gap in the city wall, regardless of the distance of one hundred and fifty paces, directly hit the gap and disperse the small group of enemies near the gap.

He glanced back at the time-keeping rope in the distance, and saw that it was about to burn to the end, and the faces of everyone behind him were nervous, not because they were afraid of the battle that was coming, but because they knew that there would be a few loud noises in a while, so they kept paying full attention, so as not to be frightened.

The moment he turned around, the timed fire rope had not yet been burned, but the fire rope in the tunnel had burned to the end, and his feet trembled slightly, followed by a few muffled loud noises, and the tall city wall of Moucheng collapsed somewhere, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, revealing a huge gap.

The hearts of many soldiers in Xia City felt as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer, and an indescribable nausea churned in their chests.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sharp sound of the pottery whistle and the flute signaling the impact echoed in the array, and Jian Chen looked at the collapsed city wall and waved down the blade excitedly.

"Impact!"
