In the east of Yongnian City, the farmland where the ridges and ridges are connected into blocks was suddenly trampled by countless footprints.

The pack horses of the army carried bags of dry soil to the east of the city and threw them on the ground. The servants would uncover the bags with their hands, pour dry soil on the dirt floor, or directly cover the straw bags with shovels of floating soil and tamp them with wooden hammers.

In one night, a small half of the dirt hill in the east of the city was built almost in the blink of an eye.

The sky was slightly white, and the civilians who had worked all night touched the sweat on their foreheads, and they were exhausted one by one, and then the leader of the Zhao army carried the morning food to the construction site.

When the civil servants saw the fragrant, bright and thick yellow corn porridge, each of them was screaming in their stomachs.

At that moment, the civil servants who had already eaten their shifts had eaten enough, stepped forward to replace and take over the tools, and the civil servants who had worked all night were holding stoneware pots full of corn porridge, plus a small piece of shallots mixed with tofu, and a whole sea bowl of wheat cakes sandwiched with sorghum, squatting in the mud and shaking off their cheeks, eating and drinking nonsense.

What people seek in this life is not three meals a day. Although it is not new food, the people are also eating happily, and Zhao Jun's promise of three full meals a day is really a word.

Seeing the scene, the civilian servants were all highly motivated.

Seeing that the civilian servants were in full swing, Xu Shiji, who was supervising the construction of Tushan on the side, nodded with satisfaction.

Among the soldiers, the method of attacking the city with earth and mountains is called Lin. Although the siege is smaller than the ant-attached siege, the loss of troops is small, but it is very manpower-consuming, and if the besieging side does not have enough manpower, it is difficult to implement this method of warfare.

In the past, the most feared thing about the labor expedition was the lack of military rations, and often the soldiers could not eat enough before the war, let alone increase the civilian service.

For example, the work of piling up dirt and mountains was usually done by the auxiliary soldiers in the battalion, which often exhausted the besieging soldiers. For Xu Shiji, who is deeply versed in military strategy, of course, he knows that the victory or defeat of the war is definitely not the number of troops that the two armies put on the table for each other, especially the victory or defeat in such a siege. The winner or loser depends on the morale of the soldiers and the supply of rations.

But the current scene is very satisfying to Xu Shiji, the 60,000 besieging Zhao troops have been fully rested, with the grain in the Liyang warehouse, with the continuous supply of grain and rice, these 50,000 civilian servants have almost become 50,000 new forces. The construction of this dirt hill is five or six times faster than expected, and it is constantly being built higher.

Near the left side of the mountain, the wind blew the reeds, and the red tassels on the helmets of Sergeant Zhao were mixed in them, swaying and moving. Five thousand Zhao soldiers were in ambush, and once the Xia army came to interfere with the repair of Tushan, they could come forward to meet the enemy.

"General, it's time to eat."

Xu Shiji nodded, and the soldiers on the side served him white flour steamed buns made of fine grains, a small bowl of carved rice, and a bowl of floating greasy mutton soup.

After the capture of Liyang Cang. Zhao Jun's food is also good, generals like Xu Shiji can eat fine food, meat, and ordinary soldiers eat simple, but they are also full of three meals.

Xu Shiji took the white-flour steamed bun and asked the soldier if he had eaten it, and only after receiving a positive answer did he eat it. The soldier finally brought him a pot of greasy drink.

The scene of the work here in full swing had already alarmed the Xia army defending the city, but after seeing the Zhao army repairing the earth mountain under the city, someone immediately told Liu Heimin and Ling Jing.

Liu Heimin, after Ling Jingwen, after Tianming. Rushing to watch, the general defending the city in the east said: "Our eastern city wall is lower than the north, west, and south of the city. Zhao Jun took advantage of this, and it seems that he wanted to break through my city wall by attacking the city with earth and mountains. ”

"As the king expected, Zhao Jun really wants to attack the main force of the eastern city wall," Ling Jing took out his folding fan and pointed to the sky, and then pointed to the ground and said confidently: "But there is nothing to worry about." Since ancient times, there have been only two ways to attack a city, one is to fly to the sky, and the other is to enter the ground. The siege of the earth mountain is a flying act, and we don't have to worry about it as long as we follow the law. ”

Liu Heimin nodded and asked the general Xiangyan, "Do you know who is the general of the Zhao army?" ”

The general defending the city pointed to the Zhao army camp that looked hazy in the early morning fog, and said: "Behind the earth mountain, there seems to be a big banner with the word Xu, in my opinion, it should be Xu Shiji, the general of the Zhao army." ”

Liu Heimin, Ling Jing, and all had solemn expressions on their faces when they heard the words. Liu Heimin said: "Xu Shiji is the first general of the Zhao army, even I may not be his opponent, you strictly ordered the soldiers not to fight lightly, they can only defend the city, understand?" ”

The general of Dongcheng hurriedly agreed, and then said: "The eastern wall of the Great General's city is low, and the lowly and the soldiers below sit like pins and needles every day. ”

After that, Liu Heimin said: "You don't have to worry, I will send a hundred crossbowmen here, a hundred archers to strengthen the defense on the city wall, and I will order another army to be stationed in Qimingfang in case of accidents." ”

General Xia Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him happily.

Liu Heimin, Ling Jing returned to the General's Mansion at the moment.

The sun rises higher and higher, at noon, two hundred steps away from the city, the earth mountain is almost as high as the city wall, looking at the Zhao army civilian servants are in full swing to work, the earth mountain is increasing inch by inch, the east city guard is restless at the moment, if the earth mountain is raised again, the virtual reality in the Yongnian city will be a clear view of the Zhao army outside the city.

The guards of the eastern city of the Xia army were horrified that the civil work of the Zhao army was so fast, and the soldiers of the Xia army on the side saw the food of the Zhao army's civilian servants, but they couldn't help but drool.

Since ancient times, it has been a common practice for the defenders of the city to be short of food and grass. Although Liu Heimin had reserves in advance, the grain and grass in the city were also very tight.

Before the siege, the Xia army had two meals a day, but the moment the Zhao army was encircled, in addition to the soldiers who landed in the city, it had been reduced to one meal, and it was still the kind of coarse corn that hurt his chest, and even the civilian service of the Zhao army was inferior. However, Liu Heimin loves soldiers like children, eats brown rice with the soldiers, shares joys and sorrows, and sees that the morale of the soldiers and soldiers in the summer is not weak.

But morale is one thing, but whether there is strength in the battle is another, looking at the Xia soldiers who were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, the defenders of the Xia army's eastern city thought that before the war started, their own side had already weakened the opponent by three points in this part.

At dawn on the second day, the Tushan of the Zhao army was already higher than the city wall of the Xia army.

The Xia army guards decided what to do to stop the advance of the earth mountain towards the city wall. The crossbowmen of the Xia army on the northeast city wall are densely covered on it, and when they see the civilian servants outcropping, it is a round of arrow rain.

After dozens of civilian servants were shot, the civilian servants who were recruited did not dare to go up again.

Zhao Jun was also transferred from the six-tip cannon, which was spread on the dirt mountain. In the cannon, the Zhao army installed the gravel in it, and threw it towards the city wall of the Xia army.

But when he saw the rubble flying sideways, crackling, and sifting against the city walls,

The Xia army on the enemy tower was smashed to the head and bleeding, and the Zhao army civilian service took the opportunity to push the earth mountain to the city wall more than a dozen steps.

Unexpectedly, the range of the Zhao army's stone thrower was so far, and the Xia army guard quickly ordered his subordinates to erect the enemy tower on the city wall, and the cloth curtain made of thick hemp rope was woven to block the Zhao army's gravel to kill the Xia army's crossbowmen on the city wall.

Seeing that the stone thrower on the earth mountain had lost its suppression on the head soldiers of the Xia army, Xu Shiji thought of another method and ordered to mix poisons such as croton arsenic with dry cow and horse dung, and the sulfur was combined in a bullet and shot into the city, but seeing that the poisonous smoke at the head of the city was filled, the Xia army coughed everywhere, and his eyes were so smoky that he shed tears, and the defenders had no intention of defending the city.

The Xia army guards ordered a forced suppression, and ordered the soldiers to use wet cloths to cover the city and defend it, which was slightly better.

The earth mountain built by the Zhao army further approached the city wall of the Xia army, as close as one hundred and fifty steps. The city wall of the Xia army is more than two zhang high, but the earth mountain of the Zhao army is more than three zhang, and the Zhao army civilian service on the earth mountain overnight, with bricks and stones to build a three-story corner tower.

The guard general is not in a good situation, and he once again told Liu Heimin and Ling Jing.

Liu Heimin and Ling Jing came to the east city wall of the city, and saw that today's Zhao Army's Tushan was far higher than the Xia Army's city head, and it was still widening and deepening. And now the lights on the earth mountain are bright at night, and now the Zhao army is still working overnight.

I saw that in the dark night, Zhao Jun transported wood and bricks from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the earth mountain one by one. A makeshift corner tower has laid the foundation

Liu Heimin said: "Mr. Ling said that there is a way to defend the enemy by attacking the city with earth and mountains, and the plan will be settled. ”

Ling Jing raised the folding fan and said calmly: "It's okay, at the beginning, Wei Xiaokuan refused the Qi army to Yubi, and the Qi army also built a mountain of earth, wanting to attack the city from a high position. Wei Xiaokuan ordered the soldiers to tie the wood and raise the city wall, and calmly broke it. ”

Liu Heimin laughed when he heard this, and said, "Thanks to Mr." After speaking, Liu Heimin transferred 3,000 Xia soldiers to raise the east wall of the city, and immediately demolished the houses, and used wooden planks and bricks to cooperate with the enemy tower to raise the east side of the city wall overnight.

After one night of construction, the eastern wall of Yongnian City was completed. When the city wall was once again as high as the earth mountain, the Xia army burst into cheers.

Seeing this, Xu Shiji under the city immediately ordered the soldiers to take the oil bombs developed by the workshop, shoot the oil bombs with six cannons, and smash them directly on the wall.

This fire oil bomb made a miraculous achievement in the battle of Zhao Xia Yishui, and the Xia army at the head of the city wall on the east side ran to avoid it.

The fire oil projectile was ejected, and the city wall of the Xia army turned into a sea of fire, and three enemy towers were burned down alive, and hundreds of Xia soldiers were killed or wounded. Seeing this scene, the Xia soldiers were all frightened, but the Xia army's east guard was also a tenacious person, and ordered the soldiers to rebuild the Shangcheng garrison, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers of Xia were shocked, and the soldiers of Xia who went to the city to defend were almost like going to the execution ground.

Xia Jun didn't know that Zhao Jun's fire oil bombs were also in short supply, and they had already used a lot of them when attacking Gaoyang City. Xu Shiji saw that he could not shake the heart of the Xia army, and immediately ordered the soldiers not to use fire oil bombs again.

As a result, the situation in the east of the city eased slightly, Liu Heimin breathed a sigh of relief, and Ling Jing said to Liu Heimin proudly.

Siege but fly into the ground two methods, Yongnian city is surrounded by water, not afraid of Zhao Jun to attack the hole, the method of sudden attack, just guard the head of the city, but where the siege of the method, there must be a way to crack, the chest in the book of war strategy hundreds, enough to rely on it. ”

Ling Jing said unashamedly to Liu Heimin.

At this moment, the general Zhang Junli hurriedly entered the city, and suddenly told Liu Heimin: "General, the water depth of the Fuyang River outside the city suddenly became shallow, and the last general felt that it was inappropriate to come to tell him. ”

Liu Heimin and Ling Jing glanced at each other and said, "It's not good." ”
