first-class champion

As a result, the tower collapsed. Although the main body of the tower was submerged in the water, it was blocking it, and it was futile to try to flood into the city. In particular, the corner cornice of the tower was still erected on the water surface, which hindered the approach of rafts and boats. It is even more affected.

The guard at the head of Bianliang City was Kang Huaizhen. Seeing this situation, he secretly called it a fluke, and quickly organized crossbowmen to shoot arrows on the boat and raft from the left and right sides of the broken wall to prevent them from approaching.

Kang Huaizhen stood at the head of the city, commanding and dispatching, holding a big bow on the other hand, and personally shot arrows at the enemy. Muddy flood.

Li Cunxiao stood on the swaying raft with no roots on his feet. He couldn't even display six points of his usual bravery. The sledgehammer in his hand was useless. Kang Huaizhen hit the shot, and several soldiers beside him were shot through the chest by Kang Huaizhen's magic arrow and fell to the ground.

Li Cunxiao gritted his teeth with hatred, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow, and I will take the top of the city."

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, with countless casualties each. When the battle was in full swing, another big straw bag was pushed out from the city, which actually filled the loophole caused by the collapse of the south gate.The firewood was soaked in water and it was difficult to ignite.Even though it is wet, it still keeps the softness of the firewood. It is not afraid of giant rasps at all. Moreover, such a large haystack, you can't climb even if you get close to it. With this haystack blocking it, I thought that the city wall would be breached and enter the city. Hope is even slimmer.

Li Keyong watched from a distance, and saw the soldiers of the Hedong Army exposed to the rain of arrows on the top of the city, dropping dumplings into the water, wishing to go to the battlefield in person like in the past, but... he now It is King Jin, and it has become an eternal dream to go to the battlefield in person.What's more, if he goes to the battlefield in person, can he succeed in one battle?I don't know which defender commanded the city, but he didn't panic in the face of danger, and turned the unfavorable conditions for the defenders into conditions that made it easier to defend the city. Li Keyong became more and more anxious to use it.

"Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Li Ke gritted his teeth and issued the order to withdraw the troops.

All three wars were defeated, leaving countless dead bodies, and the Hedong Army Mingjin withdrew its troops.

The sky had darkened, and the flow of the flood had also slowed down. Dead trees and fallen leaves rolled up and down in the turbid water. In the distance, there were many corpses of soldiers floating in the water.In the midst of the chaos, Bianliang City seemed to be a huge fortress floating on the water. No one knew whether it could survive the flood and recede, but at least for now, at least tonight, it was still standing there perfectly.

At this time, if a few dark clouds float in the sky and a drizzle falls, the whole world will become cool immediately, but it is clear that there is nothingness in front of their eyes, and this artificial flood cannot reduce the heat of the weather a little. The difference between Tianwei and human power.

Looking at the suddenly strange city in the distance, Duan Mingyu sighed softly: "Now we are not afraid of the Xuanwu army attacking the camp, but it seems that it will be more difficult to attack the next city, and I don't know the other generals Can you think of another way?"

Fang Wenzhong pointed to the city in the distance and said: "Although the city wall is made of loess, it is stronger than bricks and stones, and the city wall is extremely thick. The water will not collapse even if it is washed away. Now that the water has slowed down, it is even more difficult to work."

Duan Mingyu pondered for a moment, then said: "The weather is extremely hot now, since the water cannot be washed away, what if the water is blocked again? Do you remember that the ground that has been drenched by rain will roll up a layer of skin after being exposed to the sun?" Come on. If this water-soaked city wall is exposed to the scorching sun, it will definitely be cracked, and maybe at that time, if you stretch out your hand and push it lightly, the city wall will collapse."

Fang Wenzhong said with a "huh": "This method seems to be good, maybe it is really feasible."

"What are you talking about?" A heavy voice suddenly came from behind, and the three of them looked back, but it was Li Cunxiao.

How could Li Cunxiao dare to fight with Duan Mingyu? If Li Keyong knew about it, he would not be beaten to death. He cupped his hands, walked over and sat down on the ground, frowned and looked at the distant city, and said casually: "How many times?" Needless to say, I was sent by my father to inquire about the next battle plan."

Li Cunxiao couldn't help asking again: "Brother Duan, what method did you just say, soaking and drying?"

Duan Mingyu said his thoughts again.Li Cunxiao smiled and said, "It's easy to say, but do you know that the yellow rammed soil was soaked with glutinous rice juice when the city was first built, and the city wall is very strong? Do you know how thick the city wall is? A layer of land can be compared. According to your method, the water must be soaked for at least ten days before the water vapor can penetrate the city wall. At that time, it will take another three to five days to plug the gap, and after the flood drains, it will be sun-dried for five or seven or eight days. , the city wall is likely to be cracked open, and I'm afraid... it will take about a month."

Duan Mingyu said: "Brother Li, we attacked the city for a month and killed and injured countless brothers, but

Without making any progress, now it only takes a month to take this city easily, can't they just wait? "

Li Cunxiao shook his head, sighed lightly: "Yes, we really can't wait."

He stood up and walked a few steps forward, stood on the cliff looking at the isolated city of Shuizawa, then slowly turned his gaze to the north, pointed there, and said: "In half a month at most, we have to go back to Shihe River. Waiting to be invited by His Majesty to quell the chaos, attacking Zhu Wen now is already exceeding his authority. Now he is ordered by the Seventh Prince to attack Bianliang, but the old thief Tian Lingzi has not dealt with the Seventh Prince. Now he has slandered His Majesty in Chang'an , Said that I will stay and not leave, for fear of rebellion."

***, we are working hard here, you are a dead eunuch, you will die if you don't drag your legs, Duan Mingyu is depressed, is it possible that such a success has fallen short?

In siege, the side that defends the city always takes advantage of the geographical advantage, and the side that attacks the city pays a relatively large sacrifice.However, although the defending side occupies a local advantage, it has already formed a situation of siege, which means that the attacking side has taken the initiative on the battlefield, and whether to fight or not is in the hands of the attacking side. Therefore, unless the food and grass are unsustainable, or the defenders have stronger reinforcements, no matter how impregnable the city is, it will be broken sooner or later.

Duan Mingyu was very upset, this Bianliang City was about to be taken down, and now because the Hedong Army is going back to the division, it can be foreseen that within ten days, if the war is not settled, the success will fall short.
