Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 298 Siege
Dingzhou Prefecture, the first pass in Tiannan.

Its walls are high and thick, and it has always had the reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for one person to guard the gate!
At the same time, Dingzhou Mansion is the first barrier of Nanchang City. As long as Dingzhou Mansion is not broken, Shangfu can sit back and relax!

At this time, Dingzhou Prefecture also had tens of thousands of Chen Bing, which were used to resist the advance of Schrödinger's army!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the army to besiege Dingzhou Prefecture!

For other checkpoints, if the walls are thick and the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Schrödinger will probably choose to besiege rather than attack. As long as the city is short of water and food, it will be easy to break through the city!

But since Dingzhou Prefecture is named after the government, there is a reason for it. Although it is a checkpoint, it is also a state capital and a granary for several counties!
Therefore, a war of attrition that encircles but does not attack is not acceptable. Instead, the army outside the city will probably be consumed because the logistics cannot keep up!
Facing this city, there is only a strong attack, but a strong attack is also difficult!
The tens of thousands of troops in the city, the countless defensive equipment, and the tall and heavy walls are all difficulties!

Under the city at this time, a hundred thousand troops stayed tightly outside the city wall.

A few days ago, they arrived outside the capital of Dingzhou, set up camp, built fortifications, and after recharging their energy, they began to attack on a large scale at this time!
Of course, since there is no plan to besiege and not attack, there is no need to besiege the city.

On the contrary, once you divide your troops to besiege the remaining gates, you still have to worry about being divided and broken by the soldiers and horses in the city.

So the one hundred thousand army is currently concentrated outside the east gate, staring at the tall city wall in the distance!
The guards on the city wall could only look at the dense black shadows in the distance below the city, and feel the powerful momentum. Although they were a little startled, they thought that they were all on the city wall, so they forcibly settled down!
It's no wonder they were frightened. The [-] army said it was [-], but in fact it was far more than [-]!
According to common sense, in the previous months of fighting, the siege of the city and land would definitely consume a lot of soldiers. Even with the supplement of surrendered soldiers, it is far from enough, so the current strength should be less than [-]!
But don't forget that this is the south, a chaotic south, full of rebels everywhere!
Although he came all the way before, although he was attacking the city, Schrödinger did not let go of the bandits throwing grass in the surrounding area except for the city. It is also easy to make a comeback and set Schrödinger's backyard on fire!

For these people, of course not all beheaded!

If they were all beheaded, it would actually arouse the rebellious heart of the rebels!
If they have no way out, they will resist to the end!
At that time, not to mention an army of one hundred thousand, even if there is an army of one million, Schrödinger dare not say that he can completely clean up the rebellion in the entire south!
So Schrödinger mainly used gentle methods, mostly choosing to win over and absorb the surrounding rebels!

For those hard-headed ones, Schrödinger chose to make an example, and the rest only punished the chief villain, and the rest chose to break up and distribute them to various military camps!

So although the military system remains the same, there are still 36 military camps, but the number of people in each military camp has greatly increased!
Now Schrödinger's troops have almost reached 20, which is several times the number of troops in Dingzhou Prefecture. No wonder the guards on the city wall feel a little panic when they see the enemy troops below the city!
The difference in the number of the two sides is too big!

If there were no high walls and thick walls, most of the defenders on the walls would have collapsed long ago!
At this time, Schrödinger was wearing black black armor, standing under the banner of the Chinese army. Following his gesture, the surrounding flag bearers immediately waved their flags, passing on the military orders!

Immediately afterwards, the horns of the rear battalion began to sound, and the drums of war also sounded!

The voice was vague, and it had already formed an echo outside the city wall!

Even more morale-boosting!

At this moment, at the head of the barracks of the great army,

Rows of neatly arranged black armored soldiers walked out of the barracks, holding tall shields, and approached the city wall step by step!

Also at this time!

"Fire arrows!"

There is also a call on the city wall!

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and the defenders on the city wall all released their feather arrows at the enemy troops outside the city!
In an instant, the entire sky became pitch black, and the feather arrows were dense, like a cloud, directly blocking the sun!

This did not have the slightest impact on the black armored soldiers under the city!

Their steps are still so strong and firm!
The expression on the face is serious, under the black armor, there is no trace of panic!
"Royal!"

"Royal!"

"Royal!"

A trumpet sounded from their mouths, and the sound was so decisive!

As they said that, the shields in their hands were immediately tilted slightly, facing the feathered arrows in the sky, leaning on their heads, holding the shields tightly with both arms.

Their shields form horns with each other, forming a complete defense system!

Even though the sky was densely packed with feather arrows, they failed to break through their defense system!
The soldiers holding the shield were not comfortable. Firstly, the shield was very heavy, and secondly, every feathered arrow fell from the high sky, and the incidental force on it was very strong. When it hit the shield, they almost couldn't hold the shield!

Occasionally, the shield would be slightly shifted by the impact of the feather arrow, and there would be some gaps between the shields. Undoubtedly, this also caused a loophole in this complete defense system!
Although the loophole was small, it couldn't bear the fineness of the feathered arrows, and several feathered arrows shot straight into the gap!

Seeing this scene, the guards in the city were a little surprised. There was a loophole in the shield formation, and then there was a possibility of it being broken!
Standing on the city wall, he could see clearly that the arrows shot in penetrated deeply into the bodies of several enemy soldiers in black armor with shields, and they were completely down!

This is to break the surface!
The guard can imagine that if these enemy troops fall, the loophole will be even bigger, and more feathered arrows will be shot in, and a domino-like situation will appear immediately!

But the next scene surprised the guard. He clearly saw the soldiers whose bodies had been pierced by feather arrows, holding on for the last moment.

The surrounding black-armored soldiers also reacted quickly, but in an instant several black-armored soldiers stood up, connected to the shields, and replaced the fallen soldiers!
There was a little surprise in the eyes of the guards on the city, and he said in admiration: "It really is the elite of Xiliang, and the Xiliang trapped beast shield is really well-deserved!"

The guard's name is Wang Dingxu, and he was born in the Xingnan Wang family of the Guandong clan. He was a confidant who followed Shang Fu at the beginning of the Shang Fu Uprising!
Under Shang Fu's subordinates, he has always been famous for his calmness and decisiveness. At the same time, he is good at defending the city. If it is only about defending the city, he will not think of being second-hand under Shang Fu's subordinates!

It is because of this that Shang Fu can safely hand over the first pass in Tiannan, the first line of defense to him!
Seeing the black-armored soldiers under the city resisting the feather arrows and approaching the city wall step by step, Wang Dingxu immediately said decisively to his lieutenant general: "Prepare gold juice, rolling stones, and rolling logs. Bullbow!"

"Always set down the enemy's momentum first!"

In the former dynasty, ballistas were commonly called "bed crossbows" or "bed crossbows". At that time, a ballista was often equipped with two or three bows, and the combined force of multiple bows was used to fire arrows, which was stronger than the previous generation.

The "Wu Jing Zongyao" of the former dynasty contains a variety of multi-bow bed crossbows, among which the most powerful three-bow bed crossbow is also called "eight ox crossbows". "It is called "one gun, three swords and arrows" in the world, and it looks like a javelin, and the three iron feathers are like three swords.The bed crossbow can also shoot "stepping arrows", which are nailed to the city wall in rows.

This "Wu Jing Zong Yao" has always been kept in the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the collapse of the previous dynasty, it was already lost, but with the rebellion of Shang Fu, this eight-ox crossbow reappeared in the world!
Of course, Wang Dingxu understood that although the eight-ox crossbow was powerful, at most it could only dampen the morale of the enemy.

Not only is it difficult to make these eight-ox crossbows, the current number in the city is only a few dozen, but it is also because these eight-ox crossbows are difficult to operate, and special personnel are responsible for aiming and firing. Crossbow soldiers are a special category in the Zhou army, called "bed crossbowmen", and more than a hundred people are needed to draw strings.

It is definitely unrealistic to rely on this eight-ox crossbow to resist the enemy!

The quantity is really insufficient!
While speaking, more than a dozen huge ballistas were set up on the city wall, and more than a thousand crossbowmen controlled the ballista, fired arrows, set bows and stretched strings...

Along with dozens of sounds, the sound of cowhide shaking resounded!
This is Zhang Xian's voice!

More than a hundred huge "arrows" went straight towards the shield formation in a daze!

It is said to be "arrows", but each arrow has adult arms, more like pillars!
These "arrows" hit the shield, the thick shield broke directly, and the arrows directly penetrated the body of the shield holder!

However, with previous responses, they had already been warned.

At this time, the response was timely and the response was sufficient. The surrounding soldiers gathered together, and the integrity of the shield array was restored in an instant!
Although the eight-ox crossbow posed a threat to the shield formation, it failed to pose a fatal threat!
Wang Dingxu on the city wall let out a cold snort, Xiliang's shield array is famous all over the world, and it is certain that it will be difficult to break!
But a setback to morale is enough!
The following gold juice, rolling stones, and logs are the real weapons for defending the city!
near, near.

The black-armored soldiers under the black-armored shield formation under the city are getting closer to the city wall!

"Disperse!"

The shield spread out in an instant, and rows of warriors in soft armor lifted the ladders and put them on the city wall!
Using both hands and feet, he quickly moved towards the city wall!

At this moment, feathered arrows were continuously shot at them, but with the soft armor protecting their vital points, they failed to cause too many casualties!
Wang Dingxu let out a long roar!
"Rolling stones, logs, and golden juice falling!"

As he said that, Wang Dingxu was walking on the city wall, commanding, and hitting the enemies who climbed the city wall!

With heavy logs.The rolling stone fell, and there were screams suddenly.

The golden juice is even more disgusting, drenched on the body, it is very cruel!

One by one, the "hedgehogs" fell off the ladder and fell into the moat, splashing a lot of waves!
There were many steel thorns in the moat, and the moat was immediately stained red with blood!
……

In Bianliang City.

Hundreds of black figures rushed into Duke Qin's mansion, killing everyone they saw!

At this time, the Ouchi secret guards who were monitoring Duke Qin's mansion also showed up, fighting with these men in black, it's a pity that they were outnumbered!

The blood was pale, and the corpses were everywhere!

Several collateral and direct descendants of Duke Qin's mansion, and hundreds of clansmen, all died under the butcher's knife!

A raging fire swept across the entire Duke Qin's mansion, turning it into ruins!
……

"Trash! Presumptuous!"

"Since the mansion of the No. [-] Duke of Great Liang has been slaughtered! It's really presumptuous!"

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate! Who is it!"

In the imperial palace, Emperor Hongzhi at this time was not as indifferent as before, and looked extremely violent!
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand Schrödinger, but Schrödinger was also the Duke of Qin in Daliang, the honorable fellow practitioner of the country!
But now Qin Guogong's mansion, hundreds of collateral, direct descendants, and clan members, all died in the mansion, and the entire Qin Guogong mansion was turned into ashes!
This not only slaps Emperor Hongzhi in the face, but also makes Emperor Hongzhi feel that there is a power that he cannot control in Bianliang City!

Since this force can slaughter the entire Duke Qin's mansion, is it possible to assassinate the king?
Emperor Hongzhi felt a huge threat!
At the same time, Schrödinger, Duke of Qin, was still fighting on the front line. At this time, all his relatives were slaughtered, and Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel that there was a huge conspiracy in it!

"Who is it?"

"Aristocratic family? Or a traitor from the south?" Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes tightly, thinking secretly in his heart!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end, but at this time Emperor Hongzhi was even more hesitant.

He didn't know how to deal with the current situation. The entire Duke Qin's mansion was destroyed. After all, paper could not contain the fire. The news would spread out sooner or later!
How should he reassure Schrödinger?
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had to worry, what would Schrödinger on the front line know about it?
With no relatives at all, Schrödinger has no worries in the world at this time, and Emperor Hongzhi has no means to restrain Schrödinger!
Although it was not Emperor Hongzhi who slaughtered Schrödinger's family, he was still worried that Schrödinger would be angry, not to mention that he and Schrödinger had a feud to begin with!

If Schrödinger relied on military power to cause chaos, what should we do?
Just when Emperor Hongzhi was hesitating, not long after, a rumor spread in Bianliang City again!

The general content of the rumors is that Emperor Hongzhi fell in love with Schrödinger's eldest granddaughter, and when she refused, Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and then sent someone to snatch it forcibly.

Although this was a rumor, it was true. There was also a rumor that someone saw Ouchi guards haunting Xue's mansion that day!

And in this Bianliang city, apart from the emperor, which other family can slaughter Xue's mansion?

One must know that the Xue Mansion has been passed down for several generations and has great power in the army. There are many generals and soldiers in the mansion. Without hundreds of elite soldiers, how can Xue Manor be slaughtered?
