"Yuzi-chan, the effect seems to be surprisingly good."

On the distant city wall, the flames were soaring, and the wails of the enemy could be heard from time to time, even if the enemy did not have real battle damage for a while, but such a state of affairs was a huge blow to morale.

The most important thing is that the enemy is now unable to even stand on the head of the city.

And that's just the result of three salvos from the trebuchets.

"Hmph~ It's just a little bit of special condiment added to it. Those guys are not what we are now, it's simply because they're stupid, and they're stupid people with little knowledge. ”

Regarding Li Shushi's praise, Su Xiaololi didn't seem to appreciate it very much, not only snorted lightly, but also twisted her head to the side, looking like "I won't accept such a compliment".

Well, as an old husband and wife, Li Shushi's children's shoes understand, this should not be Lori's tsundere, but Lori is coquettish.

"Although the enemy is indeed stupid, yes, but the tamako-chan who can make such a powerful thing to make the originally powerful enemy become a stupid guy isn't super super powerful, so let's hug it, my tamako-chan is amazing~"

"Who, who is rare about your praise and hug or something, this is the battlefield, don't, don't touch me!"

Well, although I said don't want to, why did I take the initiative to lean on myself just now, this body is honestly a little too much!

All in all, in the case of everyone's ignorance, Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi hugged together and enjoyed an annual drama - roasting the living with fire.

I always feel that I am in a hurry to hold Daji to see the king of Shang.

The enemy is not helpless against the fire in front of him. After all, a similar scene was not unfamiliar to the Flying Bear Army who had followed Li Shushi to the Western Regions, and many of them had learned the power of those swarthy fire oils. It's just that they can't remember it for a while, but when they see that the straw curtains used to set fire and paint with wet mud not only failed to prevent fire, but were splashed by the raging flames, they also had a violent deflagration, and they basically knew it in their hearts.

It's just that it will take a certain amount of time to transport the fire extinguishing materials that they didn't expect from sand, and during this time, they can only watch the Bingzhou army outside the city carry out their plans in an orderly manner little by little.

When they returned to the city wall, they could only helplessly look at the already devastated city.

On the west side of the city, all the fortifications that hindered the enemy's attack had been destroyed, and even the base of the city wall had been dug into several holes that were growing larger, although they could be repaired at night. But on the first day, this kind of course was reached. It makes their already unpromising mentality even worse.

Although the Bingzhou army did not take advantage of the situation to enter the city, and even withdrew the troops that were originally working under the city, they still have bigger troubles to deal with at the moment - although the ground under their feet is no longer raging with flames, the temperature is still definitely not a level that ordinary people or even ordinary objects can bear. When standing on it, the HP is constantly decreasing in small but constant quantities. I'm afraid it won't take long. A battle-hardened veteran will die a heroic death.

It's not that no one thought of using clean water to cool down the place, but as soon as this mention yì came out, it was stopped by others.

Among these soldiers of the Xiliang Army, it is not that there is no stonemason background. They knew very well that the most common way to mine huge stones was to burn them on the surface of the stone with fire, and then splash it with cold water, and under the action of thermal expansion and contraction, cracks would appear in the originally intact stones, and the stonemasons could gradually mine the stones along the cracks and further process them.

In other words, in this case, pouring water on the top of the city can certainly relieve the heat of the city, but it will severely destroy the durability of the city wall, so that the projectiles emitted by the enemy's trebuchets will have a greater effect.

This is really a realistic version of the "self-destructing wall".

The people of Bingzhou are really ruthless.

It was only soon that they found that they had come to such a conclusion too early, because the people of Bingzhou quickly sent them cool "cannonballs" - skins filled with clear water.

Although the hit rate was much worse, the projectiles that fell on the city still taught the Xiliang people a vivid physics lesson, and the cracks that continued to spread in the city wall were enough to make everyone who saw it feel terrified.

The battle between the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army on the west wall of Chang'an has not caused any battle damage from the beginning to the present, but the blow to the morale of the Xiliang army is unprecedented, and Li Ying, as a defender, has begun to doubt how long he and his soldiers can support if the people of Bingzhou really charge.

Of course, this is just an assumption, but the most terrifying thing about scary people is never the malice of others, but the brain supplement that scares oneself - it is difficult for outsiders to know their psychological bottom line, but they always poke at the place they are most afraid of.

If you are not careful, a snap, and the defense line collapses.

Of course, after all, they were the elite of the Xiliang Army, and it was not easy for them to collapse just by this kind of fright, if it weren't for the extremely deep impression that Li Shushi and his Bingzhou Army had left in their hearts, their spirits would not have even suffered such a huge blow.

After all, many of them had seen the enemy opposite them in the Western Regions, and their former comrades-in-arms were still able to rush forward bravely in the face of hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops.

At least the people of Xiliang respect such people, they cannot raise their proud chins in front of such warriors.

Enduring the scorching sensation coming from the wall, enduring the cracked opening of the city wall that would collapse at some point, their eyes looked firmly at the familiar handsome flag opposite.

Let the horses come!

They respected the enemy on the other side, and it was precisely because of this respect that they could not tolerate themselves appearing in front of the enemy with a humble appearance, which was the pride of the Xiliang army, even if it was only the last pride.

On Li Shushi's side, Ma Teng was actually ready to disarm and surrender. It's just that every time he thinks that his lovely sons are still living under Li Shushi's "claws", he keeps encouraging himself: hold on a little longer, hold on a little more......

However, he also had to admit that Li Shushi's "incendiary bomb" fired with a trebuchet was indeed outstanding, especially against the wooden camp, if the corresponding protective measures were not taken, the formation that could only be placed for strategic attacks obviously had no defensive effect on this natural attack. By that time......

Tsk, a camp in a sea of fire is many times more terrible than the head of a city in a sea of fire.

Then, Ma Teng saw that the expression on Li Shushi's face became solemn.

"Can I do it today?"

The craftsmen who belonged to Su Xiaololi were in a group of two, and a total of ten people carried five tightly sealed wooden boxes. Every craftsman's face is no less strict than Li Shushi's. Judging by the way they carefully carried the wooden box, it must have contained something very terrible.

After all, those "incendiary bombs" just now didn't see the other party look like a great enemy.

"You really want to be a real guy now, and you don't plan to yin each other once, this doesn't look like your style."

"I don't know what you mean by 'my style'. But I only smell a strong malice from you in Tamako-chan. ”

"Hey~ At this time, the nose suddenly became easy to use."

"That...... I said lord and mother. What the hell is this thing? Is it really dangerous? ”

Seeing that Ma Teng had become cautious because of his influence, Li Shushi wanted to laugh, but in order to let the other party have a practical understanding of those things that have not yet been officially unveiled. He could only continue to control his expression.

"Ah, you may not believe it, but this thing is a more powerful version of the special shells that were fired. According to the previous reality, if this thing explodes around here, it is estimated that you and I may die. Of course, these are the results of some simple practical 'theoretical calculations', and in fact no one can be completely sure how powerful it is. ”

"W, this thing is really that powerful?!"

"I'm not sure what the ceiling is, but at least it's several times stronger than those shells that can only burn."

This time, Ma Teng's face turned green, and he felt that he might need to re-evaluate the terrible Cheng dù of his new lord, who had not been evaluated by the outside world at all to reflect the ferocious desire for destruction of this crazy couple.

As for betting?

Forget it, God knows what even crazier Li Shushi can come up with.

Even if there is no Ma Chao and Ma Dai, after all, there are still Xiao San Ma Xiu and Xiao Si Ma Tie, and they can't continue to treat their nerves.

Seeing that Li Shushi became a little hesitant because Ma Teng quickly admitted defeat, Su Xiaololi immediately waved her hand to let the craftsmen carry the wooden box away, and then looked at Li Shushi with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of small pride that her plan had succeeded.

Anyway, he bet with Ma Teng that you are proud of this caviar.

Well, Li Shushi is obviously venting his frustration that he can't eat caviar.

Ahem,Caviar or something definitely refers to that world-famous delicacy.,Absolutely no intention to refer to a certain cute Lori.。

Anyway, will anyone believe him when he says that?

Well, let's return our gaze to the battlefield.

The first day of the offensive was a test for both sides, and the damage was quite optimistic under the not too aggressive offensive of the Bingzhou army outside the city. Although it was enough to be tossed by the state army from morning to night, on the whole, such a intensity was far from being harsh for the Xiliang army.

They followed Dong Zhuo to fight, and that time they didn't fight for their lives.

But it was such an offensive rhythm that made the corners of Li Dao and Guo Yan's eyes jump straight up, and Qi Qi looked embarrassed.

Apparently, they had already smelled the smell of conspiracy wafting into the city from outside the city.

It's just that this is just the instinctive intuition of battlefield veterans about the battlefield, reminding them that danger is coming, and they need to do everything possible to stay away from the source of danger. But now that they are trapped in the lonely city, doing the last trapped beast fight, even if there is real danger, they can only continue to stay in this lonely city, how can they choose to stay away from the danger that is just intuitive?

Not to mention that since entering Chang'an, in addition to racking their brains for the court calculations, they have been away from the battlefield for a long time, and the little intuition about danger that can be left is because of the suspiciousness caused by being played many times by those cunning courtiers. In fact, if you really want them to find out, to deduce the source of the danger. Most of them will blame it on the instability in the city.

That's what they're most worried about.

Night falls.

Although the offensive and defensive battles during the day were not very intense, they were extremely torturous for the defenders of Chang'an City, and the merger state army outside the city seemed to not need to rest, and wave after wave of attacks disturbed them, but they did not dare to relax, because they did not know which wave or which waves of the state army would strengthen the offensive intensity and catch them off guard.

Due to the lack of manpower, the sheep and horse walls that were originally used to hinder the enemy's delay in the enemy's attack and the secret doors on the city wall were not effectively used, and even the former and the moat were destroyed by various means such as trebuchets by the state army, and several roads were opened up under each wall for siege. It can be said that in just one day, the state army has basically completed the task of the first stage of siege warfare in the usual sense.

And in the midst of this. It is the Xiliang army on the western city wall that is the busiest.

The Bingzhou army opposite them did not even send troops to attack the city once, but the Xiliang army had to toss back and forth countless times. The "incendiary bombs" that had almost numbed the Xiliang army not only turned the city wall into a sea of fire, but also a few shells with not very good crosshairs crossed the city wall, causing a fire behind the city wall - even if all the houses had been demolished before the war. But the power of the "incendiary bomb" clearly ignores this.

If the state army takes the opportunity to attack. Perhaps the Western Liang Army will give up the work of extinguishing the fire. However, under the "passive" response of the Bingzhou army, the Xiliang army still had to divide troops to organize the people to fight the fire, after all, they were also afraid that the uncontrollable fire would burn Chang'an City to the ground. Just like Luoyang, then the Xiliang army can really only throw itself or kill itself.

Li Shushi, who is outside the city, also does not want this to happen.

As a result, once night fell, in addition to the necessary patrol and night guards, it didn't take long for the defenders of the Xiliang Army in the west to fall asleep, they needed a good dream to relieve the fatigue accumulated during the day.

Both physically and psychologically.

"Lord, isn't it time for us to go out and 'have fun'."

At this time, Li Shushi's side gathered a group of young people with high fighting spirit, they had just had dinner, and rested for a day also made them in a highly excited stage at this time, and most importantly, the shouting and killing sound from other directions during the day had aroused their fighting spirit, and now they needed a place where they could vent.

And this place, apparently just across from them, was the poor bunch of doomed and unlucky.

Well, speaking of which, the art of war pays attention to the "siege of three ques", that is, when fighting an encirclement battle, the enemy cannot be completely encircled, and they must be left with a way out. This is naturally not because some bullshit Chinese habitually make a mistake in everything and leave a loophole, but a kind of psychological warfare adopted in order to break the enemy's fighting spirit.

Although it cannot be said that the method of "encircling three and one" must be observed on any occasion, because it has become a rigid dogma and does not know how to change, in any case, it is really a joke that you do not even understand such simple psychological warfare and still do not know how to pretend to understand it and lash it out. If you don't let the enemy fight back desperately because of this, it will definitely be the plot of YY's novel.

Especially on this ancient battlefield of cold weapons.

For example, the Bingzhou army that is now surrounding Chang'an, this is not that Li Shushi does not know the reason for encircling Sanqueyi, but because the previous temptation has made him determine the determination of the defenders to hold on, plus they are coming violently, even if the strategy of encircling Sanqueyi is adopted, it is difficult to fool the defenders.

Not to mention that the fatigue tactics he is employing now have similarities with those of Siege Sanque Yi in a certain way, that is, to use various means to demoralize the defenders and shake their belief in holding the city, thereby reducing the huge casualties that may occur in siege warfare.

Under the leadership of the short but agile Le Jin, Ma Teng's carefully selected elite quietly approached the base of the city wall of Chang'an City and quickly erected a simple long ladder for climbing.

The enemy at the head of the city was clearly not vigilant enough to be on the lookout of the soldiers, not to mention the soldiers patrolling back and forth, and even the slight sound of a sentry standing guard somewhere being shot down did not attract their attention.

Is this too tiring or is it intentional?

Li Shushi, who was standing in the back, frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to change his original plan.

"Lord, with the enemy's lax defense, why don't we try to attack it once?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult, after all, it won't be long before several other doors will make moves, which will inevitably affect our side. No matter how dead the defenders slept to, it was impossible for such a big movement to go unresponsive at all. And now, although their morale will be affected to a certain extent, it is still very early before the collapse, so it is better to be careful. ”

For Li Shushi's caution, Ma Teng only stopped making a sound, he was just a little impulsive, after all, the main force of this city touching operation was the Ma family brothers and the members of the Ma family, if there was a real chance to take the city gate, not only would it increase the face of the Ma family, but also let the two sons of the Ma family win more attention in the Bingzhou army.

But as Li Shushi said, the risk of such an idea is still a bit too big, in terms of his son's achievements and safety, Ma Teng is obviously more inclined to the latter, and even the order given to the Ma family army involved in the operation is to give priority to protecting the two young masters of the Ma family, so as not to let them be attacked by the enemy.

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world.

Well, especially the son-controlled ones.

"Boom Boom Boom ......"

"Knock knock ......"

And just as Ma Teng looked at the moving black shadows at the head of the city with a slightly contradictory mood, a series of noisy sounds, like mushrooms after rain, suddenly emerged from all directions.

Pan Sen: Suddenly I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I felt that the whole person was not well. (To be continued......)
