ps: Today's four watches! Prove the character of the author!! And thanks to all brothers and sisters!!
At this time, the entire outer city of the Durant fortress had been controlled by the Wei army, but the Wei army only had some guards in the city, and most of the troops were in front of and behind the city wall, because they had to avoid the inner city Jin army to leave fire to retaliate.

Wei Jun sat in front of the spring fire, chatting, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.
The next day, the Wei army stormed the inner city with a servant army, and the battle lasted for a day without results.
That night, the Wei army attacked the lowest southern city wall with 1,000 elites, and almost succeeded, losing hundreds of people and retreating, which made the Jin army break out in a cold sweat.
The next morning, the Wei army launched an attack on the south, north and west walls with the main force, and the battle was very fierce, and the Wei army rushed to the city several times, but they were pushed down by the opponent's offshore tactics.
The battle lasted for a day, and the Wei army temporarily stopped the siege.
Over the next three days, the Wei army continued to storm the inner city of Durant, and Durent was like a flat boat in a stormy sea.
The Wei army failed to capture the inner city, which was a miracle for the Jin side.
Jin Guo went to Beijing.
"Great! Caracalla isn't stupid after all! Queen Silan said happily and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She was holding an urgent letter in her hand, which had just arrived, from the Western Front, and at this time, the fighting on the Western Front of the Kingdom of Jin had stopped.
"Empress, do you want to transfer the army back from the Western Front?" Admiral Delov asked.
"Of course, immediately send an order to take off and let him lead all the main army to the southern front! It's time for a decisive battle with the Wei people! Queen Silan said in a deep voice.
"However, if the Romans repent on the Western Front, we will be finished!" Delov said worriedly.
Queen Silan said categorically: "There is no other choice now!" Moreover, Caracalla could never be so stupid! Well, don't say more, do as I say! ”
"Yes!" Delov answered and exited the main hall.
After Delof left, Queen Slan looked at the ceiling and muttered, "This is the most critical moment!" May the Immortal Heaven and the gods protect our Dajin Kingdom! ”
On the sixth day, the Wei army, which had attacked the fortress of Durent, launched an unprecedented wave of attacks, and the black torrent swept towards the inner city like a storm.
A series of ladders hooked the city wall under the rain of arrows and artillery.
The assault troops of the Second Army of the Wei Army stormed up the ladder.
The crossbowmen under the city wall kept shooting at the city wall, the rain of arrows roared from the city, the soldiers of the Jin army shot to the ground one after another, the crossbowmen of the Jin army shot desperately to the city, the rolling stones poured down like a waterfall, the blood broke out under the city, there were constantly Wei soldiers were smashed down from mid-air, the catapults on both sides bombarded each other, and the artillery fire set off human waves in the soldiers on both sides, and the whole scene made people feel breathless.
The soldiers of the forward battalion of the 2nd Army Corps, which attacked the west city gate, first attacked the city wall, and then engaged in bloody hand-to-hand combat with the Jin army on the city. The Wei army slowly pushed forward the Jin people, although the Jin people were outnumbered, their combat strength was far inferior to the Wei army.
The southern and northern cities were successively attacked by the soldiers of the Fourth Legion of the Forbidden Army and the Servant Army.
On the three city walls, the soldiers on both sides fought desperately, although the people of the Jin Kingdom were not strong enough to fight, but at this moment they showed a fearless spirit, which was admirable.
The western, southern, and northern walls were breached one after another, and the Jin army was scattered into the city to prepare for street fighting.
"General, we can't hold it, let's break through!"
The general panted, and Tosky frowned, "Retreat? Where to retreat? Pass the order, and all the armies will defend it! I, Tosky, General Daikin, am with all the soldiers! ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and roared as promised.
The city gate was opened by the Wei army that had entered the city, and the five thousand Mo sword army surged in like a torrent of steel, slamming into the thick line of the Jin army.
The terrifying Mo knife flew up and down like a wheel knife harvesting wheat, blood rained all over the sky, and the soldiers of the Jin Army screamed and looked different.
The Mo Dao Army stepped on the bloody corpse and advanced unhurriedly, and in his ears was the unique whistling sound of the Mo Dao tearing through the air, mixed with a low roar, just like the bloodthirsty Grim Reaper, and the screams of people before they died, which made people feel terrified.
In the blink of an eye, the Modao Army routed the 30,000 Jin troops who were trying to hold the main street.
The remnants of the Jin army were unwilling to face this soldier who was as terrible as death in dark black heavy armor, so they threw away their armor and fled backwards.
The Mo Dao Army did not pursue, with the commander's order, all the Mo Dao Army gave way to both sides of the street, and then, two thousand light cavalry roared through the middle of the Mo Dao Army, caught up with the Jin Army who was fleeing in a hurry, and rushed to kill the Jin people until the blood flowed into a river of corpses all over the field.
At this time, a large army of the Wei army was entering the city. The Jin army had largely retreated into the city, gathering into four larger groups and preparing to resist to the end.
The Wei army advanced to the middle of the main street and stopped.
At this time, a group of Jin troops with more than 100 steps opposite the Wei army, about 30,000 people, were waiting for the battle, and many of them were nervous and panting.
The Wei army did not attack immediately, but pushed two catapults into the city.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the Jin Army couldn't help but turn pale.
"General, we, what are we going to do?" An officer asked a general.
The general said with a pale face: "Pass the order, lay down your weapons!" ”
Upon hearing this, the officer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a trace of shame couldn't help but rise in his heart.
More than 30,000 Jin soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered to the Wei army.
At about the same time, the Jin army of the other two groups also laid down their arms and surrendered.
Nearly 100,000 Wei troops surrounded Toski and his more than 20,000 men.
"General, what now?" The general asked with a pale face.
Toski looked at the ceiling, "How's it going outside?" ”
"It's all over! Either be wiped out or surrender! ”
Toski lowered his head and hesitated, and the generals looked at Toski with a very worried look, and just then an officer hurried in.
"General, the Wei army has set up dozens of catapults around the Zhishuo!" The officer reported with a look of horror.
The generals were startled and looked at Toski together.
Toski was silent for a moment and sighed, "Pass the order and lay down your arms!" Surrender! ”
The last 20,000 defenders laid down their arms, and the Wei army finally captured the fortress of Durrant.
This battle lasted only seven days, and the Wei army lost less than 30,000, of which 20,000 were still servants of the Western Regions, while the Jin army of 300,000 was completely annihilated, of which nearly 100,000 were killed!
Such a record was unprecedented in siege warfare, but this was mainly due to the fact that the defenders of the Jin State were all urgently recruited Ming troops.
However, before the Wei army could celebrate its victory, it received an urgent secret report from Yang Tong. (To be continued.) )
