Because cloth is now also a very valuable thing, especially in the winter in the north, it is a scarce material, even if it is a rich Yu Jiajun, it is impossible to get too much cloth, as for sacks and straw bags, it is impossible to prepare in large quantities, so that Yu Jiajun can not get too many sandbags, waste a lot of resources here, so the cloth bag is a material that needs to be recycled, after the recruits arrive at the moat, they can only pour the soil contained in the cloth bag into the moat, which is a bit troublesome, but it can save a lot of cloth bags.

Once the earth has been dumped, the recruits will run back in a puff of smoke, then go back to the earth and continue to carry it to fill the moat.

As a result of this repetition, more and more earth and stone were filled into the moat, and in three places, a passage was gradually filled in.

The officers and soldiers in the city looked anxious, and Gao Qiqian was even more anxious, jumping to his feet and shouting at those generals, ordering them to immediately find a way to stop the Yu family army from filling the moat.

In short, Gao Qiqian is anxious, if it continues to develop like this, it is impossible to guarantee that this Chaoyang Gate will not be able to hold it, once the Yu family army enters the city, he will not be able to get his head to the ground, he is not in a hurry who is in a hurry, so Gao Qiqian is in a hurry like a mad dog at this time, it is simply to catch who bites whom.

The generals were also very unhappy in their hearts, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had to force those officers and soldiers to fight to the death, but as soon as the officers and soldiers showed their heads, they were killed and wounded, and they all felt that it was not worth working hard for Gao Qi, so the resistance never went up, and the generals were whipped and kicked, and the life and death of the soldiers refused to show their heads.

There were two generals who were not convinced, pretended to be heroes, jumped and copied bows and arrows and released arrows to the city, but as soon as they shot over the two soldiers who were filling the river, one of the two generals was blown out of the head, and a hole was opened in the chest, and the corpse fell to the city wall with a bang, and one guy even planted the city wall directly, and the corpse fell heavily at the foot of the city wall.

As a result, the soldiers were frightened, and they didn't dare to take the lead, and then the Yu family army was even more ruthless, and the officer ordered each musketeer to keep an eye on a battlement, as long as he saw someone showing his head, he immediately opened fire, and a large number of musketeers approached the side of the moat, relying on the rejection of horses under the city, covering their bodies, setting up rifles, and staring at the battlements.

As a result, the officers and soldiers did not even dare to show their heads, and after just firing a few cannons, they completely stopped again, this battle was fought to this extent, even Yu Xiaotian felt ridiculous when he looked at it from behind, it turned out that he was also worried that the attacking troops would be counterattacked by relatively fierce artillery fire, which would cause huge casualties to his brothers, but now it seems that he still overestimated the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers.

Another generation difference in weapons has also caused the current situation, the artillery of the Yu family army has completely suppressed the artillery fire of the defenders, the rifle accuracy is high, the firing range is long, and the battlements can be directly sealed, so that even if the officers and soldiers have cover, they can only be pressed and beaten.

The tactics that the officers and soldiers were accustomed to in the past are now basically completely ineffective in the face of the Yu family's army, so it is not surprising that the battle is fought like this, not to mention that the morale of the officers and soldiers is very low.

In fact, the city defense of the Beijing division as a whole is still quite tight, and the facilities are also very complete, although the battlements have been knocked out a lot, but there are also a lot of wooden female walls prepared under the city, which are specially prepared to replace the female walls in the city when the female walls of the battlements are destroyed by local artillery.

But at this time, the artillery fire of the Yu family army was too sharp, and the officers and soldiers of the guide zhì didn't even bother to push this onto the city wall, almost all the officers and soldiers tried their best to lower their bodies, and even lay on the city wall, not even daring to raise their heads, if they could block the Yu family army from filling the moat, it would be really strange.

And the strength of the Yu family's army is far from being crowded, and the strength of the siege troops in general is not even more than 10,000, let alone a large number of people have been captured to help them fill the river, as long as the defenders are a little braver, it is basically impossible to fill the river so smoothly without paying a huge price.

From this, it can be seen that the morale of the defenders has fallen to what extent, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they will not be able to reverse this situation.

On this day, Yu's army attacked until dark, and Yu Xiaotian ordered to temporarily withdraw the troops, although the first day failed to attack the foot of the city wall, but the overall progress was still very satisfactory.

After a whole day of continuous shelling, the upper buttresses of the entire city wall around Chaoyangmen, the female wall and the battlements at a distance of hundreds of meters were basically destroyed by the artillery of the Yu family's army, and the city wall can be said to be like ruins at this time, full of bricks and rubble.

The corner towers in this area were basically destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Yu family's army, including the city gate tower on the urn city, which was also destroyed by the artillery of the Yu family's army, and it was inevitable that many shells fell into the city, and many houses were destroyed, killing and injuring some people, which also caused a certain panic to the people in the city.

The most important thing is that after a day's attack, Yu Jiajun successfully opened several passages to the moat, and destroyed several defensive facilities outside the moat, laying a good foundation for the next attack.

In addition to these, there is also a very key one, that is, after half a day, several new barracks not short to transport sand and gravel to fill the moat, although not completely opened a few passages across the river, but there are three places have already filled out most of the passages, without too much manpower, tomorrow morning can easily complete the landfill project, completely open up the passage to attack the city wall.

After nightfall, most of the troops of Yu's army withdrew to the camp to rest, and Yu Xiaotian ordered the new and old soldiers to improve the food together, so that everyone had meat, and the staple food was open for them to make, and they were well fed so that they could rest early.

However, on the battlefield, Yu Jiajun still left a small number of vigilant troops to guard the results of the day, in case the officers and soldiers went out of the city at night, launched a counterattack or found a way to destroy the achievements of Yu Jiajun's achievements during the day.

Sure enough, after nightfall, he raised his dive and hung out a heavy reward, recruited the dead to go down the city, crossed the moat at night, launched a counterattack on the Yu family's army, and took advantage of the situation to send people out of the city to destroy the moat channel that the Yu family's army filled in during the day.

Originally, the soldiers didn't want to do this, but Gao Qiqian raised the reward one after another, from the beginning as long as he went out of the city to kill a rebel, the reward was five taels of silver, and the reward was increased to thirty taels of silver, and even as long as he went out to destroy the moat passage that was filled, he could get five taels of silver, and finally some outlaws couldn't bear this temptation and stood up to accept the reward.

So in the evening, there was a movement in the city, and a group of outlaws, dressed in light armor and armed with knives and spears, lowered the ropes from the city wall, and then pulled the ropes down the city wall, and now the sheep and horses wall gathered, and then began to find out the sheep and horse wall, and began to cross the river.

But their every move fell into the eyes of the Yu family army secret post who stayed outside the moat, and as soon as there was a movement on the city head, they were discovered by these Yu family army secret posts, so the news immediately spread to the Yu family military camp.

So the troops on duty that night immediately moved into action, and rushed into the battlefield under the cover of darkness and blocked the side of the moat.

When the officers and soldiers figured it out, they were trying to cross the moat with wooden planks and other messy things that had been put together from east to west, and when they attacked the camp of the Yujia army, along the moat, they suddenly lit a lampball torch Liangzi pine, which suddenly illuminated the moat.

The figures of these officers and soldiers who tried to cross the river and steal the camp were immediately exposed to the night, and before they could react, countless flames suddenly flashed in the darkness on the other side of the river, and then a dense gunfire like popping beans rang out.

The officers and soldiers who had gathered on the bank of the moat immediately let out a terrible scream, and they were planted into the moat in rows like dumplings, including those officers and soldiers who had already begun to cross the river in the river, and they were killed in the river like ducks.

Although the color of the river could not be seen in the night, when it was dawn, I still saw the corpses of officers and soldiers lying on the other side of the moat, and in the moat, there were also dozens of corpses of officers and soldiers.

After being hit head-on by Yu Jiajun, the officers and soldiers were completely honest, Gao Qiqian looked at the dead soldiers sent out, only less than half of them came back, and this heart was even more cool and cool, he didn't sleep all night, greeting the officers and soldiers who defended the city, and there were also Minzhuang who were levied on the spot, and went to the city overnight to repair the female wall that was destroyed during the day, and cleaned up the city wall full of ruins.

Under the slightly light night, the shadowy figures on the head of the city also immediately attracted the attention of Yu Jiajun, and there were full-time snipers on duty at night, and when they found a large number of people operating on the city wall, these snipers were busy again.

Sporadic gunfire continued to sound everywhere outside the city, and the snipers were not afraid of the enemy's counterattack, so they simply lay lazily in one place and kept shooting.

If you want to work in the city, you will inevitably light lanterns and torches, which makes the people in the city become excellent hunting targets, as long as they accidentally expose their figures, they will be shot by the snipers of the Yu family army almost immediately, so overnight, the officers and soldiers can almost be said to have no advance on the city wall, except for leaving dozens of corpses in vain, they have not been able to repair and clear out many places.

Gao Qiqian was completely blind at this time, and he was busy asking Cao Huachun for help, begging Cao Huachun to send him some reinforcements, but Cao Huachun refused Gao Qiqian's request.

(Special thanks to the wind is my soul, great love Zhibai, a drunken reward from several friends!) Yesterday I was tired and fart, and I drove to two cities in one afternoon, and they were all back and forth, and I came back in the middle of the night! I almost couldn't get up today! ）
