Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 337 fierce battle
Chinese army tent.

"Since Dayan's attack on Nanchen, the armies from all walks of life have been overwhelming, even in Xiazhou and counties, and have made great achievements." Zhao Pu's broad and square face was very solemn, with two sword-shaped eyebrows squeezed together.

But his voice was quite calm when he spoke.

"However, I personally led an army of [-] to attack Jiangzhou, but it was impossible to capture it for a long time."

"Today is already the seventh day. Everyone has conquered Hongzhou behind Jiangzhou, but I, the prince, have not even conquered a small Jiangzhou city!"

Zhao Pu's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the generals below.

"Regulate the army immediately and prepare for war. The whole army will attack in an hour."

"This prince swears that he will destroy the small town of Jiangzhou, and if he does not destroy it, he will not return it!"

Zhao Pu's words were sonorous and he had already made a decision.

The chief counselor next to Zhao Pu hesitated to speak, but he only moved the corners of his mouth, took half a step forward, and finally said nothing.

This is not a good time to give advice!

Obviously, their Fourth Prince made a wrong decision.

How can you be arrogant when it comes to major military affairs?
Their Fourth Prince was originally an extremely smart person, but this time... why was he so confused?
He is stubbornly fighting against Jiangzhou and refuses to listen to any advice. This...

The chief counselor could only worry secretly, but he couldn't.

However, the chief counselor knew that Zhao Pu could not persuade him now, but some of the subordinates below could not tell.

"Your Highness, no!"

A general came out from the crowd, his voice was rough and his face was red.

It can be seen that it took a lot of fighting between heaven and man for him to dare to stand up and oppose.

It's a pity that he didn't see it as thoroughly as the chief counselor.

"Your Highness, absolutely not! The Jiangzhou garrison possesses several novel weapons, which are so powerful that ordinary siege methods are completely useless. Your Highness, our army will surely suffer heavy casualties if we attack at this time. Your Highness, please think again!"

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

Two more generals came out to join the ranks of admonishing Zhao Pu.

"Come here, these three men have disturbed the morale of our army. Pull them out and beat them with fifty army sticks!"

Zhao Pu turned his back to the three people, his voice contained a kind of anger, and he was ready to attack.

The soldiers outside the tent were ordered to take these three people away, regardless of who they were, and took them outside the tent and beat them hard with fifty military sticks.

The chief counselor swallowed secretly and gave up all thoughts of admonishing His Highness the Fourth Prince.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
"Um……"

"Humph……"

The sounds of the blows of military sticks and the muffled groans of the three generals reached the ears of everyone in the tent one by one.

Zhao Pu put his hands on his back and looked up at a topographic map hanging in the tent.

The rest of the people were as silent as cicadas.

They saw a kind of fighting spirit, a kind of revenge, and a kind of anger in His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

It is hidden but not released, but like the taut bowstring, once it is released, it will shake the world and be unstoppable!
The plan to storm Jiangzhou in an hour was obviously irreversible.

……

An hour later.

War drums beat in the Yan army camp.

The horns of Jiangzhou City Wall sounded in unison.The brutal siege begins again!

The Yan army seemed to feel Zhao Pu's anger, and under the urging of the war drums, they rushed straight forward without fear of death, full of momentum, and had the will to "die in Jiangzhou if they don't break Jiangzhou".

The Jiangzhou garrison had gone through several battles in just a few days, and until now, their hearts had long been numb.

There is only one thought in my mind, to repel the Yan army, to repel the Yan army...

Under Zhu Xiuyuan's order, the Jiangzhou defenders used fire oil tanks to spray dozens of fire dragons, several feet long, to sweep across the Yan army.

Or you can use the sky-shaking thunder, find a civilian with strong arms, stand down on the city wall, rotate your arms, and throw it far away...

Today is the seventh day since the Yan army attacked the city.

Hold the lamp from morning to afternoon and then to evening.

Throughout the day, the Yan army was attacking.

The Yan army seemed to be endless, one group attacked, another group fell, and then another group attacked...

The Yan army could bear it, but the Jiangzhou defenders could hardly bear it.

Their casualties were not large, but they could not withstand a long-term battle. They were also human beings, not made of iron.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiuyuan had prepared a group of strong civilians, more than [-] of them, gathered in one place to intensify training. The purpose was to replace the Jiangzhou defenders and implement "shifts."

In the past few days, although the fighting was fierce, it rarely lasted for a full day like today, so the [-] civilians were not used.

Now is the time to use them.

Following Zhu Xiuyuan's order, taking advantage of a gap, the Jiangzhou garrison's "shift change" was completed.

However, the Yan army's attack did not weaken at all. From the evening when the lights were on to midnight, the battle was still fierce.

A thick layer of corpses of the Yan army had been piled up under the city, but the Yan army was not afraid of death. Under the sound of the war drums, they rushed forward as if they were desperate!

The night passed.

Time came to the eighth day since the Yan army attacked the city.

In the morning, the sky was bright and it was supposed to be sleeping comfortably in bed, but the Yan army was still attacking the city!
Under the north city wall of Jiangzhou, the shouts of killing were loud!
"Lord Sima, it's successful! It's successful, the 'Big Thunder' is successful!" Someone stumbled into the Jiangzhou City Tower, shouting.

"Success!"

A smile broke out on Zhu Xiuyuan's haggard and tired face.

The Yan army continued to attack for a day and a night, so he held on here for a day and a night. Only in the early morning, he leaned against the battlements and squinted his eyes hastily.

"Great, brother Zhu, hurry up and order, use that thunderstorm to blow up all the Yanjun's trebuchets!" The exhaustion on Liu Wencai's face was swept away, and his spirit was clear and excited.

"That's all right now, the Yan army's trebuchets are too fierce. Last night, it caused thousands of casualties to our Jiangzhou defenders. Now it's all right. Using the big earthquake thunder will definitely paralyze the Yan army completely." Trebuchet!" Yan Dashan was also very excited.

"Okay, here's the order, replace the trebuchet stones with thunderbolts and fight back immediately!" Zhu Xiuyuan ordered.

After the work of a cup of tea.

Dozens of iron lumps as big as human heads were thrown from Jiangzhou City, over the city wall, across the sky, and headed straight for the trebuchets in the Yan army camp.

As the Yan army received reinforcements, hundreds of newly transported trebuchets were launched together, causing huge casualties to the Jiangzhou defenders.

Especially the newly replaced strong civilian men, who were not soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy, suffered greater casualties.

As for the Yan Army's trebuchets, the Jiangzhou defenders' previous tactics were to use the trebuchets to throw out urns of fire and oil, and then shoot the rockets to paralyze the Yan Army's trebuchets with flames.

However, as the Jiangzhou defenders ran out of bows and arrows, this method became invalid. They were indeed beaten by the Yan army's trebuchets and suffered heavy casualties.

Until this morning, the big earthquake thunder was trial-produced.

The so-called Big Earthquake Thunder is actually an enlarged version of the Earthquake Thunder, which is as big as a human head and is launched using a trebuchet.
